At the same time, almost all the courtiers sincerely admired the emperor who had been in charge of the empire for more than 30 years.

At the same time, they were thinking that the general Wang was still intriguing at this time, did he hear any rumors, which prince would he stand on the side of the prince who had never stood in line, and whether his early return to the dynasty would attract the hostility of the old emperor, so that he would make a move, everything was unknown.

Among the courtiers, Tuoba Lie is relatively sober, he knows very well that the general Wang chose to return to the court when he was in the prime of life, and the other party was only afraid that he already had a person to protect, and that person was now in danger, so as to give the other party a strong momentum. At this moment, the general king is unscrupulous, because his father has offended the gentry of the whole world for Chu embroidery, if he loses the support of the army, even if he has always been known for his iron fist, the status of the old man will inevitably be shaken, therefore, even if the behavior of the general king incurs the dissatisfaction of his father, he will not be punished substantively.

Sixty-seven-year-old father, probably everyone is waiting for him to die!

A generation of emperors can't survive the erosion of the years, dust to dust, dust to dust, this is the fate that everyone can't escape.

Thinking of this, Tuoba Lie actually felt a little sad, he really had reverence and longing for his father.

Zhengyangmen is the main gate of Chang'an City, according to the laws of the empire, any non-Praetorian Guard army is not allowed to enter the city, the general Wang needs to report to His Majesty every time he returns to the court, and he can only enter the city after permission. The fact that a man who had always kept a low profile and looked forward to His Majesty suddenly behaved like this proves that there must be something that touches his fundamental interests. Whether it is friendship or family affection, or even the affection of monarchs and ministers, they are fragile in the face of interests.

At a time when everyone is in danger, there is a person in the imperial capital who is still too low-key to be low-key, he doesn't say a word, and silently follows the last of the ministers, like an old man who is about to die and has no quarrel with the world, this person is Tuoba Zichu.

Everyone knows that Tuoba Zi was an honest and honest official at the beginning, and spent his life with his wife; everyone knows that he has no children and no daughters, never forms a party for personal gain, and never has bad relations with others; everyone does not know what he is suffering for so much!

Tuoba Zichu seems to have been born for His Majesty and the empire, and he has been diligent and cautious all his life, working hard in the position of the left prime minister of the empire, without complaint or regret.

is such a person, when he is old, he still adheres to the principles of the past in the last years of his life, never expresses his position on the advantages and disadvantages of the princes, never stands in line, and still maintains this when Tuoba Phoenix and the general Wang are standing in line, which makes people shudder in addition to curiosity, a person who is so ruthless to himself, can he not be ruthless to others.

No one can ignore the existence of Tuoba Zichu, and no one wants to be his enemy, because no one has ever been able to really enter his life and enter his heart, and I am afraid that even His Majesty will not be able to understand Tuoba Zichu's thoughts.

Ascending the city wall, you can see General Dongfang Changqing standing at the forefront with a sharp weapon in his hand, and the arrival of the great general Wang led the troops, in his eyes, he is not a friend or foe, so he needs to do a good job of guarding with due diligence.

Until His Majesty arrived, he patted him on the shoulder intriguingly: "It's hard work in the East, open the city gate." ”

Dongfang Changqing did not withdraw his gaze from the city until this moment, bowed to His Majesty and said, "Your Majesty, in the opinion of Weichen, General Shangguan can enter the city, but the accompanying soldiers should be dismissed." "Even Dongfang Changqing, who has always been obedient to His Majesty's orders, raised objections to General Shangguan's behavior, which shows how excessive the other party has been. It's just that the old emperor thought more about it than him, and said: "There is no need to doubt the loyalty of General Shangguan, open the city gate." ”

The old emperor is very smart in doing this, since he has allowed the other party to enter the city, does he care how many soldiers he has brought, just be generous, so as not to cause unpleasant trouble between the monarchs and ministers. You must know that for several years, although the old emperor was afraid of the general king, he also fully relied on the other party and regarded the other party as a cronie. What's more, the general Wang commanded the troops outside, and was known as the god of the army in the southern and northern wars, his status was extremely special, not comparable to ordinary people, his standing was crucial, and his support for the old emperor was also crucial.

This is the emperor's thoughts, very people can understand, Dongfang Changqing is obviously unwilling, the same general, the general is old and he is young, it is inevitable that he has a certain hostility towards the general king.

If Shen Fei was present at this moment, I am afraid that he would be moved by His Majesty's calmness, this old man who looks old always has something in his eyes that outsiders can't see through and grasp, and his behavior is far from being comparable to that of ordinary old people, just like a tiger that has reined in its minions, even if it is just a quiet sleep, even just feeling its breath will make you shudder.

The pressure brought by the old emperor is indeed very great, that pressure comes from the heart, when you touch his gaze, you will feel the trembling from the heart, and when you face him face to face, you will feel the coldness and pressure unique to the blood soaked for a long time.

The old emperor walked down the city tower and stood on the back side of the Zhengyang Gate waiting for the drawbridge to slowly fall, which was a slow process, and the chains were wrapped around the "squeak" The sound echoed with the sound of the water, turning into the most shocking cry, the ministers stood behind the old emperor with their backs bowed and folded, and they didn't dare to look up, because they knew how dangerous it was to have eye contact with the person who was coming, there was only one person, only Tuoba Zichu stood at the end of the line and stared at the back of the old emperor, his eyes were complicated, he took the initiative to ask to stand at the end of the line, and the old emperor agreed to his request.

"Cry Cry Cry Rush Step......" As the sound of horses' hooves came from far to near, the old emperor's face became more and more ugly until it sank to the bottom, and the ministers could almost hear the sound of the other party's blood accelerating, and they could feel the murderous aura rising in the other party's body, and they didn't dare to raise their heads, and they were even more like a man's back.

Fortunately, the man who came out of the black hole under the bridge gate was leading the horse by the hand, not sitting on the horse, so everyone rejoiced.

The old emperor stood there and smiled, while the man leading the horse threw the reins to the people around him, stepped forward quickly, and fell to his knees. The horse he was leading was so tall that it was a tall position higher than the spirit of the wild horse, and its body was so heavy that the horse's hooves made a heavy and powerful sound when it stepped on the suspension bridge, as if it was being ridden, but fortunately it was not, otherwise it would not have ended in a simple way.

The man was wearing a heavy armor, knelt in front of the old emperor in front of the ministers, hugged the other party's pants and wiped his nose and tears together: "Your Majesty, it's great that you're safe and sound, it's great......"

This sycophant is the general king?

Tuoba smiled at the beginning, the smile on his face was deep, deep, containing infinite mockery and contempt.

......

What should a general look like in the minds of everyone, majestic, handsome, and martial arts, no one in his eyes, arrogant and domineering, I am afraid that most people will associate the above adjectives with him when they have never seen Shangguan Hongri, but in fact, he is not.

Kneeling at His Majesty's knees was a short, fat bearded uncle whose belly was about to stretch his armor, and his earth-shattering cry showed that this man had no shame at all, and that this man's skin was thicker than the city wall, and that he was an extremely inferior person.

Everyone thought that Shangguan Hongri, who had been holding back and putting on an ignorant face, was going to make a move this time and was going to show his hideous face, but the fact was that he didn't! He was even more inferior than before, and he "loved and respected" His Majesty even more, and even more exaggerated this love and respect, which was rude, righteous and shameless.

Maybe that's why he was able to sit in the position of the great general for so long without being suspected by the old emperor, this person is extremely inferior, extremely obscene, a super sycophant, a super acting maniac, there is no hypocrisy in his eyes, because he is the most hypocritical.

In the face of this fat man who hugged His Majesty and cried bitterly, the important minister carefully wiped the sweat on his forehead, the general king is indeed the general king, and this appearance is really shocking!

The Great General Wang was followed by a team of 100 troops, if Shen Fei was present, he would be surprised to find that they were obviously humans, but they had various characteristics that did not belong to them, such as some people had wings that only the Dragonfly Wing Clan had behind them, some people's hands were like groundhogs, huge and sharp, some people had strange horns on their foreheads, some people had surprisingly protruding foreheads, some people had wing-like gills, in short, they were strangely shaped, they were obviously human beings but they had the Dragonfly Wing Clan, the Bodhi Clan, the Wuxi Clan, the Wuling Clan, A characteristic of inspirational people.

"Alright, alright, don't cry, don't cry, I'm not good. The old emperor's gloomy face was replaced by a smile, and he looked at Shangguan Hongri with a smile, the latter raised his head, stared at the old emperor up and down, and planted his head in his lap: "Your Majesty, you are blessed with great fortune and longevity, and Weichen wants to kill you." "Tears are bigger than soybeans, and crying like a tearful man makes people feel distressed to watch, but if you know how many lives he has in his hands, you will never be deceived by these tears again.

"I know, I know that you care about me, and I am worried about me! In this way, since you have already come, you can stay in the imperial capital for a few more days, and have a good reunion with your family, anyway, the front line is relatively stable now, and you don't have to worry about it if the deputy general presides over it. ”

"Wechen thanked Your Majesty. Shangguan Hongri's two meat palms were flat on the ground, bowing to His Majesty like a pig, and the helmet on his head was flattened because he used too much force, and the ornaments on the armor were even more rattling.

The ministers shook their heads frequently when they saw him like this, a person like Shangguan Hongri who was both capable and not arrogant was really rare in the world.

Everyone knows that most of the capable people have a three-point temper, and if they are not good owners, they will not go out of the mountain, when Liu Bei looked at the thatched house, Zhuge Liang was willing to see him is such a reason, but the general Wang Shangguan Hongri is simply a strange among capable people, not only has special abilities, excellent tactics, is familiar with military books, and is more able to bend and stretch, pretending to be more cute than a husky in front of His Majesty, incarnating as an executioner on the front line, attacking the city and capturing the village, and killing people is not counted. He is known for his cruelty, three of the ten criminal laws of the empire came from him, and he is the most amazing doctor in the empire, who has studied organ transplantation technology to the realm of Dacheng. During the 30 years that the old emperor was in power, the soldiers and horses under the general Wang opened up the territory, invincible, invincible, and became a nightmare for the surrounding peoples.

He is no longer forbearing, he is simply an actor with superb acting skills, and he has no shame at all, he can always do things that surprise people, and slap His Majesty's ass in front of thousands of people.

After a false alarm, the old emperor stood up with Shangguan Hongri, who was fat to the top of the three, and patted him on the shoulder appreciatively, the latter wiped his tears and snot, revealing the innocent appearance of a child when he was praised by his parents.

The ministers were disgusted and almost vomited, but the old emperor was very useful to this, and praised: "If the most heartfelt person in the empire to me is Shangguan Aiqing, pass on my will, and give three hundred taels of gold as a commendation." ”

"Thank you, Lord Ron. "Shangguan Hongri accompanied the old emperor to pass through the sandwich formed by the ministers, the old emperor couldn't put down Shangguan Hongri, as if rubbing a piece of gentle jade, and Shangguan Hongri was like a child full of attachment to the old emperor, this scene is really unbearable, this scene is really chilling, because this is not a kindergarten, it is the Zhengyang Gate of the Empire, and it is the place where the confrontation between deceitful and power is most intense.

When he walked all the way, Shangguan Hongri only had the old emperor in his eyes, and his gaze seemed to be fixed there, and he would never deviate from the old emperor's face by more than an inch distance, until he came to the end of the team and saw the inconspicuous Tuoba Zichu, and then he said, "Friend." ”

Tuoba Zichu smiled toothily and said, "Compared with the great military exploits of the Great General King, Zichu is not worth mentioning. At this point, the two passed by.

Due to Shangguan Hongri's flattery, the great eunuch Liu Yi lost his original position, and while following His Majesty from a distance, he rarely raised his head to look at the blue sky like the sea, and saw the unpredictable clouds flying above the sky, and said an intriguing sentence: "Empire, this is about to change the sky again!"
