Chapter 213: Xuan Cheng issued a holy decree in the early court
In the wide hall, Taihao stepped out, like the dawn of dawn, eye-catching. He was tall, dressed in the official uniform of the lord of a city, and his eyebrows were full of determination and loyalty. His voice echoed through the hall like the sound of bells and drums, piercing through the thick silence of the temple.
"Your Majesty," Tai Hao bowed ninety degrees, his tone as deep as the sea, "the minister is willing to devote his life to the royal family, eternal allegiance to the royal family, and swear to defend the prestige of His Majesty." ”
The emperor's face was hidden behind a golden mask, but no one could ignore the glint in his eyes. His voice was soft, but it was deep and clear in the air.
"Taihao Aiqing, I am deeply gratified by your loyalty. I hope you will always be as sincere as ever. You have heard the order I just made, and now you are the envoy I sent to Tibet, and you will visit Tibet on my behalf to maintain the relationship between the two countries. ”
Tai Hao bowed again and kowtowed deeply, "Thank you, Your Majesty." We will do our best to live up to your majesty's expectations. ”
His voice echoed through the hall as if an ancient vow was pouring through the air. His loyalty and steadfastness are like the royal blood flowing in him, fiery and real. At this moment, he is not only a courtier, but also a treasure of the royal family and the backbone of the country.
Back in the queue, the one in front of him was the city lord of Thousand Winds City. When he heard the emperor's will and sent him deep into Tibet, he couldn't help but look back and smile at Taihao. This smile, Tai Hao understood the deep meaning, and Qi Guang must now think that the counterinsurgency in the south has nothing to do with him.
Subsequently, Emperor Xuancheng cleared his throat and continued to announce: "I have decided to send ...... to pacify the bandits in the south" Before the words fell, the civil and military officials in the hall all cast eager eyes on the emperor, and they all hoped that the officials of their own camp would be entrusted with this important task.
I only heard Xuan Cheng say: "I have decided to send Canggu Aiqing as the chief commander and Yuzhen Aiqing as the deputy commander, and the two of you must work together to wipe out the bandits with loyalty and wisdom and restore social peace." ”
There was silence in the hall, and then they looked at each other and talked about it. When she heard her name being mentioned, she felt a strong sense of pride in her heart, and she also realized the importance of this mission. He cast a firm gaze at Canggu, conveying their shared responsibility.
Canggu took a step forward and bowed to the emperor, his voice calm and powerful: "Your Majesty's appointment, the minister is deeply honored. The minister will do his best to live up to His Majesty's expectations. ”
Emperor Xuancheng nodded with satisfaction and motioned for the two to get up. He said to Yu Zhen: "Yu Zhen Aiqing, you hold the position of deputy marshal, and you must assist Commander Canggu to stabilize the morale of the army and strategize. On the battlefield, you have to trust and support each other in order to achieve ultimate victory. ”
Yu Zhen bowed his head slightly, and responded in a solemn tone: "Your Majesty, rest assured, the minister will do his best to fight side by side with General Qi." For the peace of the country, the minister swears not to retreat! ”
Qi Guang, who was standing in front of Taihao, suddenly turned his head, his eyes were like knives, and he approached Taihao. He asked in a calm voice, "Lord Taihao, what is the situation?" ”
Taihao felt a burst of surprise, and doubts surged in his heart. He frowned and replied puzzledly, "What do you mean by that?" The emperor's decision, how can I understand the mystery. ”
Before the throne of Emperor Xuancheng, the ministers talked a lot, like the hustle and bustle of the market. Xuan Cheng asked the officials, "I don't know what objections you have to Aiqing?" ”
As soon as the words fell, Zi Cai glanced at Qi Guang from the corner of his eye, and Qi Guang immediately understood, and without hesitation, he knelt down, and said in a humble tone: "Your Majesty, Wei Chen thinks that when it comes to the experience and wisdom of the war, the only person who can take on the heavy task of suppressing bandits this time is the hussar general Shaoling. Dare to ask Your Majesty, what is the reason for choosing the head coach and deputy marshal? ”
Xuan Cheng raised his eyebrows and asked with some surprise: "Only Shaoling Aiqing can be qualified to be the head coach of the bandits, is your opinion?" He suddenly turned to Shaoling, his eyes blazing: "Shaoling Aiqing, what do you think?" ”
When Shaoling heard this, he hurriedly knelt on the ground and saluted, and said modestly: "Your Majesty, the ministers are shallow in their learning, and they dare not evaluate themselves. However, I heard that the two generals, Canggu and Yuzhen, have rich experience and intelligence, and are extremely loyal to the country, and I believe that they will be able to take on this important task. ”
Xuan Cheng said: "Since Shaoling Aiqing is so conclusive, do you still have any doubts?" ”
Qi Guang's face was a little sneering, how could he dare to disagree.
Xuan Cheng saw that Qi Guang was silent, so he spoke: "Qi Guang Aiqing, you see, you care about the stability of the south and worry about the country and the people, which is really admirable. Therefore, I have decided to give you a difficult task. ”
Qi Guang humbly asked, "Your Majesty, I don't know what position you want Weichen to take?" ”
Xuan Cheng said in a deep voice: "The bandits in the south are like wildfires, and the work of exterminating them must be long-term. Therefore, I have decided to appoint you as a grain and grass escort officer, responsible for the continuous delivery of grain and grass to the front-line soldiers. ”
Hearing the appointment of Emperor Xuancheng, Qi Guang was stunned for a while. He didn't expect that the emperor would give him such an important task, and he felt uneasy in his heart. As the grain and grass escort officer of the southern bandit army, he needs to be responsible for the logistics support of the entire southern war situation, which is undoubtedly an extremely arduous responsibility.
But the officials present didn't say anything good for him, and Shaoling and Zi Cai didn't hear anything. Qi Guang set his eyes on Tai Hao, Tai Hao pondered for a moment, then stepped out of the queue and saluted the emperor: "Your Majesty, Wei Chen thinks that it is not appropriate to appoint Qi Guangren as an escort officer. Because the vast number of people are now the city lords of Thousand Winds City, their responsibilities are heavy, and they may not be able to handle more tasks separately. ”
Xuan Cheng said: "Don't say it again, this matter is so decided, the affairs of Thousand Winds City will be worried about by the city guards of Thousand Winds City, and you only need to focus on the duty of escorting grain and grass, and you don't have to worry about other trivial matters." ”
Hearing that the emperor was so resolute, Qi Guang could only say helplessly: "Weichen is grateful!" ”
Today's early dynasty has become a battle of contention. For the officials of the Shaoling Party, they are undoubtedly losers. The belligerent spirit of this class has long gone beyond the contest between swords, and has also extended to the deceit above the court. They not only brandished real swords and guns on the battlefield, but also engaged in open and secret battles with other officials in the DPRK and China.
Shaoling, originally a literary champion, is talented and brilliant. However, he has been quietly changing, as if he were a quiet lake that is breeding storms. He seems to be weak on the outside, but in fact, he is practicing a kind of kung fu in his heart, which will become a threat to Taihao in the future.
In this court full of intrigue and struggle, the officials of the Shaoling Party tried to use their bravery and wisdom to fight for a place. However, they ignore an important fact: true strength does not come from force and conspiracy, but from inner firmness and conviction.
In these challenging times, Shaoling Party officials need to re-examine their values and beliefs. They should understand that real victory does not come from victory on the battlefield, but from inner strength. Only in this way can they find their own path in this ever-changing court and write their own legend.
Subsequently, in a solemn silence, the emperor announced his retirement from the dynasty. The drums sounded again, melodious and far-reaching. The hundred officials bowed respectfully, and then slowly withdrew from the main hall. The sound of their footsteps echoed through the main hall as if it were a hymn to the prosperity of the Eastern Empire.
When the last official exited the hall, the hall fell silent for a moment. Only the breeze blew gently between the curtains in the hall, as if telling the story of the court meeting that had just ended.
After retiring from the dynasty, a eunuch was ordered to introduce Taihao into the Zichen Palace. Tai Hao stepped into the jade door and immediately felt a solemn and mysterious atmosphere. He sensed that if this kind of atmosphere was placed above the court, it would definitely be filled with the smell of power. Here, however, there are unknown secrets and fascinating stories.
In the hall, a simple green jade lamp and candle illuminated, and the majestic and dignified face of Emperor Xuancheng loomed under the light. He sat on a nine-dragon chair, wearing a golden silk dragon robe, and his eyes were as deep as the sea. And Mr. Yan Fang, dressed in a gray robe, stood aside with a smile on his face, his eyes seemed to be able to see everything, but they were full of kindness.
Taihao walked cautiously, came to the center of the hall, and bowed slightly, "Taihao greets Your Majesty." Although his words were short, in that quiet hall, they were like a stone stirring up a thousand waves.
Xuan Cheng's tone, like the narrative in an ancient chronicle, is leisurely and solemn. His voice is like a mountain hidden beneath the clouds, deep and steady, with endless power. This force, like the ancient storm, is about to tear apart the calm night sky, bringing people an incomparable sense of oppression.
His eyes were like torches, looking directly at Taihao, as if he wanted to see through his soul. "Tomorrow, you will set off to visit Tibet on my behalf." His voice seemed to have a magical power, freezing everything around him in this moment. A trace of complicated emotions flashed in Xuan Cheng's eyes, as deep as the sea and as cold as ice, making people dare not look at it directly.
He smiled slightly, and that smile seemed to contain a lot of unfinished words. Then he waved his hand, "I'm going to explain something to you today." Xuan Cheng's words were full of unquestionable authority, like the spokesperson of the gods in the mortal world, distant and solemn.
Xuan Cheng's eyes were like stars in the night sky, shining with an ancient and mysterious light. His words echoed through the palace like a mysterious incantation, inspiring awe. Tai Hao took a deep breath, he knew that every next sentence would have a profound impact on him.
Taihao humbly bowed his head and said, "Please give your majesty advice?" ”
Xuan Cheng said in a heavy but firm tone: "This time, I appointed Taihao Aiqing to embark on the road of Tibet, which is a mission full of heavy responsibility and great significance. I hope that through this mission, we will be able to promote friendly relations between our two countries, strengthen economic and cultural exchanges, and safeguard the stability and security of our country. In this land, Aiqing must show the demeanor of a great power, treat the Magi with courtesy, respect the local culture and customs, and accurately convey my wishes and concerns. Actively interact with the Tibetan princes and ministers, listen to their opinions and suggestions with an open mind, and strive to reach a mutually beneficial and win-win agreement through peaceful negotiations. At the same time, I paid attention to the social conditions of the Tibetan people, understood their needs and predicaments, and made a detailed report to me after returning. During this period, Aiqing needs to be vigilant at all times to maintain her own safety, while respecting the beliefs and customs of the local people to avoid unnecessary conflicts and misunderstandings. I hope that Aiqing can perform her duties loyally, live up to expectations, and contribute wisdom and strength to the friendship and national interests of the two countries. I wish Aiqing all the best in Tibet and a safe return. ”
