Sikong is still on his way to Xuchang, and will eventually return to Luoyang. But people in Luoyang seem to have no feeling about it, and few people are talking about it.
What everyone is talking about is the legendary "one thousand to one hundred thousand", although the actual situation is not like that.
The emperor was very willing to believe this kind of thing, and he was extremely excited. Although this bad battle was all about his ministers stabbing each other, it was meaningless, and all that was lost was the vitality of the Central Plains.
"Shao Xun can make chicken soup and fight. Isn't he a wise man?" Emperor Sima Zhong said while eating cakes in Hualin Garden.
Queen Yang Xianrong responded perfunctorily.
Emperor, do you really not know what it means for Sima Yue to return to the capital?
You can eat Hu cakes now, but I won’t be able to guarantee that I’ll give you poison cakes in the future, ugh.
Sheep Xianrong is really a bit sad.
She was a little scared.
In the more than a year since Sima Yue was away, she had done a lot to protect herself.
She was not unaware of the risks.
In fact, she knew very well that if she had a choice, she would prefer to divorce the emperor, just like Wang Huifeng divorced the prince, and go home to live.
With the appearance of the Jin Dynasty, what will happen even if she is the second best Jian Nanfeng? It's useless, she is still the target of public criticism, and she still can't escape the fear of her life.
But divorcing the emperor can only be imagined. Who will allow it?
She could only stay in this palace, planning things in vain for her own future, hoping to gain temporary peace, until the Jin Dynasty collapsed.
I feel desperate just thinking about it.
"The Queen has not eaten since morning and noon, why don't you give me a piece of cake?" Seeing that the Queen did not speak, Sima Zhong suddenly picked up a piece of warm Hu cake and handed it over.
For a moment, Yang Xianrong was a little moved, but after taking the cake, the emotion dissipated.
She is a very realistic person, and after several times of being abolished, she has seen through many things.
The emperor is a good man, but he is just a good man.
In this world, good people are of no use, ruthless people are more likely to thrive.
Is Shao Xun a ruthless person? It seems so at present.
When he was in Tai Chi Hall, he killed people neatly and without batting an eye.
At that time with Jin Yongcheng, to be honest, she was somewhat charming, but this person just didn't take the bait, although even if she did, she wouldn't give him any sweetness.
The incident in Jinguyuan has no further details.
If you receive benefits without showing any expression, is this still a human being?
Yang Xianrong didn't know how to win over Shao Xun.
What is certain at the moment is that this person is ambitious.
The news about the Xuchang Arsenal case is unknown to others, but the wealthy families in Yingchuan know more or less about it, and the palace has also heard about it.
Based on this, Yang Xianrong further confirmed his judgment that Shao Xun was very ambitious.
He and Sima Yue must have become inseparable, right?
So, how to take advantage of this?
She has no idea yet.
"Queen, has Shao Xun returned to the capital?" The emperor suddenly asked: "I want to give him a sword to dig out all the hiding toads. I don't want to hear them scream anymore, I want to eat them."
"Not yet." Yang Xianrong said casually: "Didn't there be rumors from sergeants in Beijing that Shao Xun went to the old site of Guangcheng Garden?"
Guangcheng Garden!
Yang Xianrong's heart moved. Shao Xun had a purpose in everything he did. What was he doing in Guangcheng Garden?
That place has been abandoned for hundreds of years and there is nothing there. What does he want to do?
Yang Xianrong was very curious for a while and wanted to find someone to investigate and find out the whole story.
She subconsciously felt that something could be done here.
****
Shao Xun returned to the capital in early November.
When passing by Sikong Mansion, I turned around and took a look, as if expecting to see something.
As a result, all I saw were servants.
The servant recognized him and bowed respectfully. Then Shi Xulang, the gatekeeper, threw away his military book and ran out to say hello.
Shao Xun signaled with his eyes, waved his hands repeatedly, and left under Xu Lang's doubtful eyes.
I have been to the palace several times before, and every time I was always smiling and walking briskly. Why did I feel like I was running away this time?
After staying at home for one night, early the next morning, someone came from the palace, and the emperor wanted to see him.
Damn! Word travels so fast.
This house in the city must be under surveillance.
Alas! Shao Xun thought pretentiously, there are so many famous people. The palace general, who is in charge of the palace guard, is indeed the number one figure in the capital. No palace conspiracy or coup can avoid them.
Before leaving, he thought for a moment and asked the servants to bring the two huts with them.
The group of people went to the palace in this way. When they passed the Duanmen, the servants returned to the mansion and the bed was placed at the door.
"General." Yang Bao jumped out of nowhere. When he approached Shao Xun, he didn't know whether he was excited or not, and he knelt on the ground with a plop.
"Master Yang and I belong to the left and right guards respectively, why is this so?" Shao Xun said in surprise.
Yang Bao was a little embarrassed. He was too excited just now and his legs were weak. However, his expression did not change, he bowed and then stood up. The whole set of movements was extremely smooth, without any hesitation, as if he had wanted to do this in the first place.
"I can become the owner of the building, thanks to Lang Jun's kind words. This great kindness and virtue will always be remembered in my heart." Yang Bao said.
Shao Xun didn't believe what he said at all.
However, Yang Bao knelt down and worshiped him today in front of so many people, which was indeed unusual.
Therefore, he said pleasantly: "You and I are all from the same country, and it is the right thing to help each other."
Yang Bao nodded repeatedly and said: "Lang Jun wants to enter the palace? I have received the military order and will send someone to escort you."
When Shao Xun heard this, he knocked on his helmet with his fist and said, "What is my identity? How can I be worthy of being escorted by the guards?"
"Then pick a few old brothers to help Mr. Lang carry the belongings in." After Yang Bao finished speaking, he immediately ordered a few people without waiting for Shao Xun to refuse.
After a while, seven or eight people rushed over. When they saw Shao Xun, they all saluted: "See you, general."
Shao Xun saw that they were indeed old brothers. Some of them had even fought with him in Piyong, and now they were actually commanders and captains. He immediately patted their shoulders and said, "Since the Kingdom's army was disbanded,
After that, I haven’t seen you for half a year.”
"I wish I could return to the general's tent." Several people sighed in unison.
"There will be a chance." Shao Xun laughed, and then, surrounded by everyone, he entered the Duanmen.
His reputation among the Forbidden Army is indeed quite high now.
During the Kingdom's Army period, he led training as Lieutenant Sima, and many people knew him.
Several wars further spread his fame.
He personally led more than 6,000 people in the Kingdom's central army, and sometimes he also mobilized the elites of the upper and lower armies to fight. During the great expansion of the Forbidden Army, many of these people were promoted to captains, captains or even higher positions.
Just like Chen Jinbu, the Lieutenant General of the Right Guard Palace who is on duty at the palace today, there are many old subordinates from those days who pay attention to him wherever he goes.
"I have to find opportunities to get together with them in the future." Shao Xun thought as he walked: "If the relationship is in place, even if they are not willing to follow the rebellion for the time being, there will be many other benefits. How can Sima Yue, who is aloof, understand the relationship between warriors?
Friendship? This kind of fame will always come into play one day."
Taiji Hall arrived soon, but this was not the destination. The group walked a long way and finally arrived at Hualin Garden.
"Greetings to Your Majesty, Queen." Shao Xun knelt on the ground and saluted.
Coincidentally, the queen seems to still be wearing the long dress she wore when she captured Sima Yi.
Gorgeous, majestic, beautiful, it makes people want to tear it apart.
"Shao Qing, get up quickly." The emperor was eating and said with some slurred speech.
"Shao Qing." Queen Yang Xianrong pressed the emperor's shoulder to signal him to be quiet, then looked at Shao Xun and said.
"I'm here," Shao Xun responded.
You didn't have this attitude when you were in Jinyong City.
At that time, she was shaking her white and supple arms, deliberately tempting me.
Although I am a Queen Controller, I still controlled it.
"Ma Ji Chang of the Later Han Dynasty once wrote: "Fang Yuhuang, Lian Shizhou, Zhang Yunfan, Shi Nigui, Mi Luofeng, Ling Xunliu, issued a song, sang in the water, the fish came out, Cai Fu, Xiang Ling
Next, Han women travel...'" Yang Xianrong said with a vague smile on his lips: "I wonder if Shao Qing has ever heard of it?"
Yuhuang and Shizhou are the names of ships in the south.
These boats were connected with iron ropes and played in the lake, which is the scene of the Emperor of the Later Han Dynasty playing in the Guangchengyuan Lake.
Yang Xianrong must have meant something when he said this.
Your answer at this time will determine many things, so you must be cautious.
"I have heard that it was about the grand scenery of Guangcheng Garden in the Later Han Dynasty." Shao Xun replied.
The emperor was still eating, and Yang Xianrong walked slowly, far and near from Shao Xun, and said, "Has Shao Qing been to Guangcheng Garden?"
"Been there." A few wisps of fragrance came from the tip of his nose, but there was no smell of the sea. Shao Xun felt very comfortable smelling it and replied: "Although Guangcheng Garden has been abandoned, it has magnificent mountains and rivers and magnificent scenery. The gardens of the Later Han Dynasty still exist.
, you can truly recall the grand scenes of the past.”
"Your Majesty." Yang Xianrong walked briskly around Shao Xun and walked up to the emperor. He lightly opened his red lips and said, "Maybe you can send someone to Guangcheng Garden to investigate. If there is really some color, maybe it can be slightly repaired since the Later Han Dynasty."
In the garden, there is a place for boating and playing in the water in midsummer."
"I don't want to go that far." Sima Zhong said with a frown.
He is stupid in some places and not stupid in others.
If a palace is built in another place, if he insists, it is not impossible to go, but he will definitely support him, and even Sikong Sima Yue, who is about to return to Luoyang, will follow him.
None of them wanted me to leave their hands, and they would follow me wherever I went.
"Your Majesty..." Yang Xianrong said dissatisfied.
"Forget it, let's send someone to investigate first." Sima Zhong said helplessly.
Shao Xun listened silently.
Emperor Sima Zhong was actually very easy to get along with and very cooperative with his powerful ministers.
Why was such a good puppet killed by Sima Yue? It makes no sense.
Emperor Huai of the Jin Dynasty came along, and he fought against Sima Yue every day. However, he won over many courtiers and generals, and began to "pro-government", forcing Sima Yue out of Luoyang.
You are not Sima Lun or Sima Yi, do you know that you do not have the prestige and ability to control the emperor?
Or is it that there are some secrets that have not been recorded in history books, and what happened? However, this is difficult to know.
After the emperor agreed to the visit, Yang Xianrong slowly straightened up and looked at Shao Xun.
Shao Xun hesitated slightly.
He knew that Yang Xianrong wanted to make a deal with him.
Perhaps, there are some other conspiracies?
But he is really helpless. Why are you trying to get involved in the place I like?
Don't you just want me to promise that when I'm on duty at Miyagi, I can withstand the pressure and protect her and the emperor's safety?
It's not that I can't agree to this, but not now.
The relationship between him and Sima Yue is very sensitive now, so it's best not to cause trouble.
Sheep Xianrong, messing around all day long, can't calm down!
If you have the energy to plot a conspiracy, why not lend me some money?
Chapter completed!
