Chapter Fifty-Eight: Lu Zhi

Wang Gang was a little confused about what Empress Dowager Dong meant, and he didn't know if the hussar general had interceded for him.

"The Queen Mother Liao praised, the last general...... "Wang Gang thought for a long time and didn't know what to say.

"Wang Xiaowei's matter is already known, and I will wait for the news after I go back" After Empress Dowager Dong finished speaking, she asked some questions about Wang Gang, asking how old Wang Gang was, who else was in the family, and so on, and asked Wang Gang a little inexplicably.

Until Wang Gang walked out of the Yongshou Palace, he still couldn't figure out why.

Empress Dowager Dong watched Wang Gang walk out of the palace gate, and then turned back to the curtain and said.

"Wan'er, come out. Captain Wang is gone."

The curtain was lifted, and out of it came a woman in a red dress, who was the lord of the Hussar General's Mansion.

The "Queen Mother" woman walked out and saluted with a slightly red face.

"There are no outsiders here, you call your aunt, it's hard for you two brothers and sisters over the years, only from your father, no one dares to get close to the Dong family, I wanted to help you find a son of the Wang family, but now it seems that my aunt is wrong" Empress Dowager Dong got up and took Dong Wan'er's hand and looked carefully.

"Auntie, Wan'er just wants to be by her aunt's side and take care of her aunt," Dong Wan'er said a little well-behaved.

"Silly child, my aunt can live for a few years, you still have a good life" Empress Dowager Dong took Dong Wan'er's hand, walked to the small courtyard outside, looked at the blooming flowers in the yard, and couldn't help but show some sadness.

"This son has a good appearance and good manners, and he is also worthy of my family Wan'er, but this background is a little low" Empress Dowager Dong looked at Dong Wan'er after speaking, but Dong Wan'er lowered her head and did not speak.

"You will stay in the palace for a few days, talk to your aunt, as for the matter of this Wang Xiaowei, aunt, you will help you decide" Empress Dowager Dong raised her hand and patted the back of Dong Wan'er's hand a few times.

"Yes" Dong Wan'er leaned over and nodded, and the stone in her heart finally landed.

Empress Dowager Dong turned to the palace maid next to her and said.

"Please come to the master of the Zhishu Yu Shi Xun, and he said that some knowledge is not very clear, please ask him to help with the details"

The palace maid answered, bowed and walked out.

When Wang Gang returned to Wang Yun's courtyard, Wang Yun and Jia Xu had already returned, and when they saw Wang Gang walking in, Wang Yun hurriedly asked.

"Ziyi, what did the Queen Mother say?"

"The Queen Mother asked me a few words about homely things, don't say something important," Wang Gang said.

"Homemade?" Wang Yun touched his beard and pondered for a while, but couldn't think of anything to mean.

"Since the Queen Mother summoned her, it must be the hussar general who is maneuvering around, and I think things will take a turn for the better," Jia Xu said.

Several people discussed for a while, but they still couldn't think of a proper way, so they could only wait and see.

On the morning of the second day, before dawn, the ministers at the gate of the main hall gathered together, talking in twos and threes, when suddenly a carriage came, and the general He Jin walked down from the carriage. The ministers in the distance stepped forward one after another to salute, and He Jin nodded slightly.

The eunuch at the palace gate announced that the early dynasty began, and the general was the first to enter the main hall and stand at the front of the left hand.

Standing next to him was the Tai Lieutenant Cao Song, and behind him was the general He Miao, Guangluxun Ma Riyan, the guard captain Yang Yi, the servant Yuan Ji and a number of military generals.

The two leaders on the right hand side are Situ Yuan Feng and Sikong Yang Biao

Behind him stood Taichangqing Cai Yong, Tingwei Lu Zhi, Dahonglu Zhang Wen, and Dasi Nong Liu Kuan

There are also Zhishu Yushi Xun Shuang, the prince and the prince Yuan Kui, the prince and the prince Wang Yun, and other old ministers.

Liu Hong sat on the dragon chair, looked at the group of civil and military forces below, and said with a light cough.

"You are the cornerstone of the imperial court, now that Xiliang is in turmoil, and General Huangfu is in a bitter battle again, there is a proper way" Liu Hong finished speaking, looking at the general He Jin, the meaning was obvious, let the general He Jin take the initiative to ask.

He Jin lowered his head and didn't speak, but He Miao behind him was eager to try, and was glared at by He Jin, and hurriedly lowered his head. Liu Hong saw that He Jin didn't speak, and said with a cold snort of anger.

"Captain Cao, you say first, you are the leader of the army, you see who is suitable to go to Xiliang"

Cao Song was taken aback, but he didn't expect Liu Hong to call his name first, and hurriedly spoke.

"Old minister, old minister is old, and he is about to tell the old man to return to his hometown, and please ask Your Majesty for permission" After speaking, he knelt on the ground.

Liu Hong slapped the dragon chair fiercely when he saw it, and coughed a few times in a row before he stabilized his mind and said.

"Accurate"

looked at Yang Biao next to him and said.

"Yang Sikong is in the prime of life, you see who is suitable to go to Xiliang"

"Weichen thought that he thought that Yang Yike, the captain of the guard, would lead the troops to Xiliang" Yang Biao said tremblingly, he had no choice but to say that his cousin, and Liu Hong would not agree anyway.

Sure enough, when Liu Hong heard Yang Biao say that he would let Yang Yi lead the troops to Xiliang, he would no longer ask Yang Biao, turned his head to look at Yuan Feng next to him and said.

"What does Yuan Situ think?"

Yuan Feng didn't know who to recommend, anyway, Liu Hong would not agree to recommend anyone, and every time the court meeting forced them to recommend the general, but everyone didn't dare to say that this matter was discussed in the court every day for a month, and even the Taiwei Cao Song couldn't resist resigning.

"The old minister thought that the hussar general Dong Chongke would lead the troops forward"

The others were all surprised when they heard Yuan Feng's words, no one sent by His Majesty would send Dong Chong to go, this was the only bit of blood in the Dong family, how could he be sent to Xiliang again.

Liu Hong glared at Yang Biao fiercely when he heard this, this old guy was too uninteresting, and He Jin said when he heard it.

"The last general also thinks that the hussar general is very suitable"

After He Jin finished speaking, several generals and some civil officials behind him shouted for reconsideration, Liu Hong suddenly turned pale with anger, his eyes were wide open, and he was about to erupt into flames.

None of them spoke just now, but now they are all agreeing, and the hussar general Dong Chong is even more heroic.

A few old ministers couldn't stand it anymore, they were forcing the palace.

"The old minister is willing to lead the troops to Xiliang, not to sweep away the thieves, and vow not to return to the court" Lieutenant Lu Zhi walked out of the queue and knelt down in the middle of the hall, banging his head on the ground, and there were faint traces of blood oozing from his forehead.

The other courtiers who were about to speak against it also closed their mouths with interest, Liu Hong looked at Lu Zhi who was kneeling in the middle, this old minister had been running for the Han for half his life, and now he was over seventy years old, his temples were full of white hair, and he was kneeling in the center. Defending the last bit of dignity of imperial power with his life.

Liu Hong stood up, Zhang Rang hurriedly stepped forward to support Liu Hong, but Liu Hong pushed Zhang Rang away, walked in front of Lu Zhi step by step, bent down to help Lu Zhi, and spoke.

"Lu Aiqing, why do you bother?"

"Your Majesty, the old minister also wants to go to Xiliang to see, since entering the customs, the old minister has not set foot in Xiliang for forty years. The old minister wants to return to his roots, and he also asks His Majesty to fulfill it," Lu Zhisheng said with tears in his eyes.

The current situation is that it is impossible for He Jin to lead troops to Xiliang, even if the emperor decrees, it is better for him to go, and save a trace of face for the emperor.
