It's November, and the lake is actually covered with a thin layer of ice.
The boats sailed on it, making a squeaking sound.
After setting foot on the island in the middle of the lake, Shao Xun walked around and looked carefully.
"When I was a general in the palace, I had never been to this place." Shao Xun pointed to the obviously renovated palace and said: "When Emperor Wei Wen built Jiuhua Terrace, although Wu and Shu were still there, the country was booming. Today, Jiuhua Terrace is being rebuilt.
Huatai, but I don’t know why.”
Wang Yan and others found it difficult to accept these words.
Yes, the country has become like this, and you still build palaces and palaces. Is this decent?
Well, it seems that the late emperor also built the Guangcheng Palace and supervised the construction of the Guangcheng Garden...
"Where is the Emperor?" Shao Xun entered the main hall, asked someone to bring a Hu bed, and sat down with a golden sword.
Wang Yan, Xun Fan, Liu Tun, Zheng Yu, Xun Zu, Yu Min and other important ministers had different expressions on their faces.
After a long time, Wang Yan stood up and said: "The Emperor has set out from Zhaoyang Palace and is almost at Hualin Garden. During the court meeting this morning, the Emperor also said that he would come to Tianyuan Pond to look for plum blossoms in the snow. Maybe he will come here.
Bar."
"That's very good." Shao Xun stopped talking and asked: "Where is the Forbidden Army General?"
"Except for General Miao Yuan, I have asked him to lead his troops out of the city for training." Wang Yan said.
"Lieutenant is interested." Shao Xun smiled and nodded.
Wang Yan sighed.
There were many people here, so it was inconvenient for him to ask some questions.
But he also knew that Shao Xun had long been dissatisfied with the emperor and had accumulated anger for a long time.
Although there was a reason for the suspension of grain and fodder this time, he obviously didn't want to let it go and wanted to teach the emperor a lesson so as not to target him again in the future.
As for the extent of the lesson, it is unknown, and this is what Wang Yan is worried about - Shao Xun will not say anything to him.
Everyone just waited.
Cai Cheng asked someone to make tea and brought it over.
Shao Xun invited everyone to drink tea and warm themselves up. The old men were not polite at all and sat down directly.
It was also at this time that they discovered that Shao Xun had never let them sit down?
This is not a question of whether there are seats or not.
When did they become so obedient? When did they become so contemptuous of themselves?
This is subconsciously putting yourself in an inferior position.
Something is wrong.
There were footsteps in the distance.
Shao Xun glanced at it, and saw that the emperor's chariot was coming over surrounded by guards and palace people. When he got close, the silver gun sergeants on guard outside stopped him, and there was a faint sound of quarreling.
But it doesn't seem to have any effect.
The assassins of the Silver Spear Army have been led by Shao Xun for ten years, and their temperaments are very different from those of the Forbidden Army. Although the pressure brought by the emperor is great, no one is allowed to go without the military order.
Wang Yan was holding a tea bowl in his hand and seemed to be sipping, but his eyes were always looking at the place where the quarrel was taking place.
The Xun brothers lowered their heads and sighed, unable to bear to look any further.
Liu Tun and Zheng Yu looked at each other and frowned.
Since the Qin and Han Dynasties, although the prestige of the emperor has been getting lower and lower, why is it so?
Fortunately, the quarrel ended quickly.
The emperor got off the carriage, surrounded by several palace people, and looked around, as if he was really walking in the snow in search of plum blossoms. Then he "happened" to see Shao Xun, Wang Yan and others, so he came over "happily".
Shao Xun's buttocks finally left the bed, and he bowed to the emperor: "I, Shao Xun, pay my respects to your Majesty."
"Your Majesty Wang Yan..." All the ministers also saluted.
"My lords, there is no need to be polite." Sima Chi said with both hands.
Cai Cheng moved the Hu bed and placed it opposite Shao Xun.
Sima Chi hesitated for a moment.
I didn’t want to sit down, but standing didn’t seem to matter, so I pinched my nose and sat down, saying: “Shao Qing defeated the Xiongnu and saved the city in danger, which is actually——”
"Your Majesty!" Shao Xun put the tea bowl on the table and interrupted the emperor's words.
Wang Yan and others' hearts jumped.
Such a rude meal seemed to hit their hearts, making people tremble with fear.
Sima Chi's eyes were filled with fire, and his face flashed with green energy.
Being forced to come to Tianyuan Pond today to "walk in the snow in search of plum blossoms" already made him feel extremely humiliated. But this person was extremely rude and interrupted him. Did he not want to hide it at all?
Immediately I felt a little scared again.
If Shao Xun doesn't want to hide it, what will happen to him as the emperor? This...
"Your Majesty wears a heavenly crown on his head, a white jade seal hanging from his waist, and a twelve-chapter crown. He carries the Heavenly Constitution on his lips and reigns over the world. This is the majesty of the emperor." Shao Xun stood up and fell down in front of the courtiers and the emperor.
With his hands behind his back, he walked slowly, while
As he left, he said: "But if the world falls apart and the hearts of the people are scattered, there are King Qin's troops but they don't send out troops, and they have the food to support the capital but they don't win the battle. They appoint officials, appoint private individuals, and sit back and watch Luoyang fall into the hands of the enemy in order to achieve their own goals.
If you have selfish desires, the power of God will be lost."
Sima Chi's face instantly became bloodshot.
Everyone knows some things, but it's hard to hear them said so nakedly.
"In the battle of Xin'an, the king's army was defeated. If the Xiongnu went south from Hanoi and threatened Luoyang, all the king and his ministers would be captured by thieves."
"Compared to Pingyang, will Liu Cong care about the friendship in the past? Can your Majesty's wife and children be saved? What can your Majesty do if he is humiliated by thieves?"
After a few words of questioning, Sima Chi's face became extremely red.
He intended to rebuke him, but when he met Shao Xun's eyes, his courage instantly dissipated and he could not say anything.
"I am fighting vigorously in Hebei, but the distribution of food and grass is stopped during the ban." Shao Xun continued: "If unfortunately we are defeated and the entire army is wiped out, your Majesty may wish to think about whether there are any troops from King Qin nearby?"
"Your Majesty, can you still wear the crown that reaches the sky on your head and the white jade seal around your waist?"
"In my opinion, it's not far away to wash your nobles with wine and change your clothes."
"Shut up!" Sima Chi stood up suddenly, glared at Shao Xun, and said: "You...you..."
It was so unpleasant! Wang Yan and others were all eclipsed.
Pouring wine for Liu Cong, washing cups, holding the toilet seat when going to the toilet - these things are very humble for ordinary people to do, usually they are slaves with lower status. It is unimaginable for the emperor to do such things.
Shao Xun looked at Sima Chi's defense, shook his head and laughed, and said: "Your Majesty, think about it carefully, I will say this."
After saying that, he looked at Wang Yan, Xun Fan and others and said: "All the gentlemen are talented people in the world. What kind of character does Liu Cong have? You must have heard about it? All important affairs in the court depend on all the gentlemen."
After saying that, he sighed and left.
After he left, the Silver Spear Army soldiers scattered near Tianyuan Pond shouted commands, gathered together one after another, and left in formation.
Even though Shao Xun left, they were still meticulous, wearing armor, holding spears, shaking their hands and feet seriously, and disappeared into the wind and snow.
"Bang!" The emperor slapped the table hard, causing tea to splash everywhere.
Seeing that none of the important ministers responded, they sneered twice and turned to leave.
The palace attendants quickly followed and opened umbrellas for the emperor.
Sima Chi pushed him away, stopped sitting in the chariot, and walked ahead angrily.
The snow is getting heavier and heavier, and Sima Chi's anger is getting stronger and stronger.
Is this humiliation today? Naked humiliation, right?
During the decades of the Jin Dynasty, could any minister humiliate the emperor like this?
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, and he almost stumbled.
I don’t know how long they walked, but when they arrived at Hualin Garden, they saw Queen Liang Lanbi taking a fur, holding an umbrella in the snow, and running towards her.
"Your Majesty!" When he saw Sima Chi, Liang Lanbi wiped his tears, walked over with an umbrella, and said, "Please take care of the dragon body."
Hearing the words "Take care of the dragon body", Sima Chi almost jumped up as if he had been stung by a wasp.
Seeing his eyes red, he pushed the queen away and walked away.
The queen fell down in the snow, got up hurriedly, chased after Sima Chi, and said: "Your Majesty, please do not get angry, as anger will hurt your body."
"Are you using you to pity me?" Sima Chi's mind was full of thoughts such as "removing the title and holding the crown". He was so aggrieved that he took out his anger on the queen.
"Your Majesty..." Liang Lanbi said anxiously with tears in her eyes: "When Your Majesty was in the vassal state, my concubine was married into the palace. Over the years, I have not asked for more honors, but only wish for your Majesty's health and the harmony of the family. The world has fallen apart to this point, and it is beyond human power.
If you want to save it, why would your Majesty get angry over this and hurt the dragon's body? Even Your Majesty... Your Majesty... I am willing to stay with you forever and have no regrets in this life."
Sima Chi gave out his signature sneer again and said: "Shao Xun wants me to drink wine and wash my crown, change my clothes and cover my head. By then, you will be the queen, how can you protect yourself?"
"Mr. Chen has always been very measured, so he would never do this." Liang Lanbi advised.
"How do you know?"
"I have always been on good terms with Mrs. Xu Changyu, maybe I can ask for mercy."
It was okay that Liang Lanbi didn't mention this matter, but when he mentioned it, Sima Chi became furious. He just heard him scold: "I asked you earlier, but you still denied it in every possible way. Yu Wenjun has a noble character, and Shao Xun has a counterintuitive intention. No wonder they get together.
Have you exchanged private letters with Yu Wenjun? Find a way out for yourself as soon as possible, good, very good."
After that, he walked away angrily.
Liang Lanbi was stunned as if struck by lightning, and then her tears were like broken pearls, which she couldn't stop no matter what.
She knelt softly in the snow, her eyes full of despair and disbelief.
Looking for a way out? She smiled sadly, but it was uglier than crying.
The palace attendant quickly helped her up.
Like a puppet, she allowed herself to be supported by the palace servants, and climbed onto the chariot in a daze.
Over there, Sima Chi has disappeared into the wind and snow.
But when the cold wind blew, he calmed down somewhat.
This calmness makes people a little scared.
He hesitated again and again, and finally sighed dejectedly.
Now Shao Xun has indeed become a person. He can't touch him at all, and even wants to please him.
Perhaps, we can only wait until Shao Xun relaxes his vigilance.
