Chapter 14: Ten Years of Dreams (5)

When Nangong entered the palace, it was already dark.

sent Cistanche back to the General's Mansion, arranged a place for her to live, and accompanied her to eat a bowl of rice balls. It took quite a while.

Regarding the summoning of Emperor Shennong, he didn't seem to be in a hurry at all.

This is a great disrespect.

It just so happened that he had never respected the founding emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty whom he had never met.

It is difficult to respect the emperor who does not go to court.

Calus invaded, and he was not there.

There is a great drought in the world, and Baixin is not hungry, and he is not there.

The regime changed, and the rebellion of the powerful ministers was suppressed, but he was still not there.

This year, Nangong was only sixteen years old. He heard that the emperor of Garu had succeeded him in this year.

Emperor Weiyi of Jialou had a very good reputation. It is said that he loves the people like a son, and is diligent and patriotic.

It's completely different from the Shennong Emperor who ignores the government.

Nangong smiled bitterly and shook his head, the time he spent back in Da Zhou was not long, and it was only three years.

In the past three years, many things have happened in the country, such as the rebellion of the powerful minister Liu Sanshi, but it was suppressed by the founding fathers who have never been able to get along.

This surprised Nangong very much.

The heartfelt heart of this group of veterans is such a rare treasure.

Therefore, Emperor Shennong dared to let go of the country and leave it to them to take care of it with confidence.

But today he came back, but for some reason, Nangong had a faint feeling in his heart.

Da Zhou is going to be chaotic.

The Great Zhou Palace was built in the previous dynasty, Shennong said that the emperor coincided with the great drought, and he himself did not like flashiness, so he did not change the slightest bit, and kept it as it was.

Nangong got down from the carriage and stepped into the palace, surrounded by carved beams and painted walls, the white jade was uneven, and the palace buildings were criss-crossed. Five steps to the first floor, ten steps to a pavilion. The corridor waist is back, and the eaves teeth are high pecked. Each hugs the terrain and fights with each other.

But no matter how beautiful the scenery is, it will be ordinary if you see too much.

In the face of these, Nangong turned a blind eye and came directly to the Yanhua Palace, which was the place where hundreds of civil and military officials went to the court to discuss matters.

At this moment, the ministers were silent, and Emperor Shennong sat on the wide throne, his eyes closed, as if he was asleep.

Nangong entered through the main entrance, and although his steps were light, it was too quiet here, and he still made a sound.

The hundred officials faced the emperor, and no one dared to look back at the comer, but there was no shortage of people who gloated, secretly cursing this belated unlucky ghost.

No one paid attention to it, but it was precisely from Nangong's mind, he blended into the ministers in a low-key way, like a glass of wine entering the sea, withered leaves hidden in the forest, and disappeared.

Everyone lowered their heads, the emperor also closed his eyes, and Nangong secretly looked at the mysterious king.

Although his hair was tightly tied under the crown, it was greasy and messy, and it was clear that it had not been washed in years.

It is true that he hadn't washed his hair in years.

Described as withered, his face was haggard and gray, and legend has it that he was only in his thirties this year, but his face was already wrinkled.

Sad people always look haggard.

People who have been haggard for a long time always look old.

Nangong was watching, but Shennong suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Nangong.

At this moment, Nangong felt like someone had choked his neck, and it was difficult to breathe. His face flushed, but he couldn't break free.

This was originally a painful feeling, but Nangong felt unusually comfortable.

The external qi could not enter the body, but there seemed to be a torrent rushing in the body, swimming all the way from his eight veins of the strange meridians, which was actually opening up the meridians for him.

In just a moment, this feeling was withdrawn from his body, and he felt that he could breathe again, but he was so weak that he couldn't care about being still in the court, and he was slumped to the ground.

"Plop" fell to the ground, and finally attracted everyone's attention and looked here.

Bai Liyao commanded the three armies, was named Marshal of Kaijiang, and was at the head of the military ministers, so he naturally stood in the first row. Looking back, I saw Nangong paralyzed on the ground, and I saw that wisp of opportunity pulling, and slowly returned to Shennong's body, which made Shennong look a little weaker.

He immediately understood the reason, and immediately bowed down and said, "Thank you." ”

After Shennong ascended the throne, he ignored the government and politics, and usually discussed matters like quarrels. There is no rude law in the court, and the military generals speak even more unruly.

This seems to be a rude sentence of "thank you", but it is most in line with the appetite of Emperor Shennong.

He knew that he had been ridiculous for ten years, but these people still regarded him as a brother.

He also learned Bai Liyao's tone, got up and said to the Manchu Dynasty Wenwu: "Thank you." ”

The new courtiers did not know what they meant, but only bent down and knelt down to show gratitude. A group of old ministers who have followed him for nearly 20 years have been in tears, and said in unison: "Thank you." ”

Then there are no more words, the Son of Heaven is emotional, who dares to disappoint the fun?

After a long time, an old minister who was over the age of old had white eyebrows and white hair and walked out of the crowd.

He is the current prime minister, named Zhang Xufeng, everyone is out of shape, and the oldest is naturally responsible for coming out to control the scene.

After all, if there is no discussion, a group of old ministers with dizzy eyes will not be able to find their way home.

"The saint returned to Beijing, and the whole world celebrated. The monarch and the minister are touching each other. I just don't know what it is. ”

Wen Cheng's speech is obviously different from Wu Chen's, it is necessary to be concise and clear, and pay attention to rhythm and style. It's not easy for literati to talk a lot.

Shennong smiled with tears in his eyes, the prime minister was an old man he respected, and he contributed a lot to this competition.

"I'm coming back because I'm dying......"

"Over the years, I have suffered you. "Emperor Shennong is full of beard, his skin is like dead bark, if it is not for his illustrious status and well-known deeds, otherwise who can believe that this person is less than forty and is in the prime of life.

"I know that the outside world says that I am a faint monarch and ignore the government. It is you who help me to quell the civil strife and rule the world. He said weakly, and the old minister in the front row shouted "Emperor" sadly, but he waved his hand to dissuade him, "The faint monarch will faint the monarch." This faint king is also what you forced me to do, so the sin of the faint king is also your sin. ”

Emperor Shennong was weak, but he smiled a little slyly.

Like, when the teenage children traveled all over the world with a medicine box and a hundred herbs, they always liked to put the bitter medicine of quenching the body in their meals, and when they looked at them helplessly and bitterly smiled, they would show a sly smile.

This long-lost familiar smile, in the eyes of ordinary people, is just a reflection of the dying person, but in the eyes of the old ministers who were born and died with him, it is a dead wood in spring, the heart is dead, and it is resurrected.

They all came out of the battlefield, and their tears had already flowed with blood, but at this moment, why was their eyes blurred.

They wiped away their tears, they wanted to see his cynical smile again.

"So now this problem is also left to you to worry about. ”

He hunched his back and tilted his head, and his yellow robe revealed a rag plain, like a crazy old woman.

But who dares to disrespect him?

Even Nangong, who had no respect, had respect from the bottom of his heart when he saw him for the first time.

This is the real Son of Heaven.

"I don't have long to live. Maybe a few days, maybe the next moment. I am a healer, and I know that I will not live long. He said weakly, "I have never participated in government politics, with me or not, in fact, it is all the same." ”

"It's different!" Bai Liyao said in a deep voice.

"It's really different!" Zhang Xufeng said respectfully.

"Good, good, I know it's different. The two of you, who have always been at odds, never imagined that you would finally say the same thing at this time. ”

Zhang Xufeng said: "We are not the same! General Bai is just arrogant, and what the old minister refers to is whether there is His Majesty or not, the world will be different." ”

"Phew! Bai Li scolded around.

Emperor Shennong waved his hand and said, "I know, I know." So that's the conundrum I've left you. ”

......

This was the first time since the founding of the country that the emperor presided over the deliberation of the government. It begins abruptly and ends casually, like this raunchy emperor, doing it wantonly.

He said a lot, as if he was going to finish all the words he owed for the past ten years. He stepped down from the throne and came to greet the ministers one by one, recalling the past, the years were glorious, pointing out the country, as if he had changed back into that high-spirited young man.

He talked a lot about the old days, because he was a nostalgic man. It is often difficult for people who miss the old to let go of the past, and it is often difficult for people who miss the old to let go of their memories.

He spoke of a jug of wine from his youth, which had been given to him by a seriously ill woman.

He tasted the wine, but he couldn't remember it.

He only remembered the woman.

This world, this country, has never been what he wants.
