Yes, we are in such a mess now. We are in a hurry, and Shacheng has been abandoned for a long time, so it is too difficult to find something.
Lantian County dared to deliver food to hundreds of officials, but did not dare to approach Pengri Capital. Fu Daozhao finally had some brains. Although his attitude was bad, the food provided was extremely rough, there was a lack of seats and bedding, and a few palace maidens were robbed, but in the end
I didn't dare to do anything to the saint. The safety of the prince, princess, and concubines who came with him was roughly guaranteed, and the dozens of guards in the forbidden palace were not disarmed, and the most basic dignity was maintained.
But now that Fu Daozhao has escaped, the guards feel as if they are facing a formidable enemy, guarding against insurgents coming to rob property and rob the palace people.
The saint received various contradictory messages from time to time, and was so panicked that he almost ran away.
"Official family." Concubine Shu comforted her softly: "The King of Xia took charge of Xiongzhen. He lived in two dynasties and was divided into thousands of miles of territory. He has been favored for more than ten years and has always been loyal and loyal. There was a change in the capital and he led his troops.
To put an end to the chaos, he still has a desire to repay the officials."
"Shut up." The saint reprimanded, with a still panic-stricken look on his face: "I never expected that Fu Daozhao would be such a ruthless person...Cui Zhaowei was also confused, and swore that he had Pengri under control. Stupid
Out of reach!”
He didn't dare to speak anymore. Now the more he spoke, the more mistakes he made, and the less he spoke, the more mistakes he made.
However, the saint Xu was reminded of his sadness and became even more angry, saying: "Where is Cui Zhaowei? I shouldn't have listened to his temptations and went out to visit the capital in the first place. Li Kuangwei, Shi Zan and others were just asking for money.
, There may not be any objection. It’s all my fault that this person speaks sweet words, holds great power, and has no integrity. He has failed me in vain. He has failed me so much!”
Zhaoyi's Chen family and Li family were also sitting nearby.
Mrs. Chen recalled that when Cui Zhaowei had just gained favor, the officials said happily: "The way of a king is to entrust the prime minister to the prime minister. The affairs of the common people are complicated and complex. How can I personally take care of them? Now I will leave all confidential matters to your discretion."
"
Li thought that there was a censor who impeached Cui Zhaowei and misappropriated official money from the Jingzhao Palace to recruit soldiers. National affairs were not discussed in the court but decided privately with others at home. However, the saint angrily rebuked the censor who impeached him and demoted him from the capital.
.
At that time, how much was Cui Zhaowei trusted? No one could shake his position. But what about now?
Just now Cui Zhaowei came in to report the situation outside, but the saint became extremely impatient. Just as Fu Daozhao gathered his troops and went out of town to fight, the saint once thought that Cui Zhaowei had colluded with Fu Daozhao and wanted to depose him.
The current mood of the official family is really unstable.
"Are you planning to rebel?" A thunderous sound suddenly sounded outside the door, causing everyone in the hall to tremble.
Soon, there was the sound of intensive footsteps and horse hoofbeats, accompanied by several muffled grunts and the sound of drawing a sword. The saint wanted to get up, but his legs weakened and he could not stand up.
"Crash!" Dozens of soldiers poured in from outside the door.
He's face turned pale with fright, and she held the saint's hand tightly.
Mrs. Chen sat still, looking intently outside.
Li hurriedly rushed in front of the saint, with both hands spread out, as if to stop the wolf-like and tiger-like soldiers.
Yang Kezhen, a female official in the inner court and the wife of Xinqin County, bravely stepped forward.
However, the sergeants paid no attention to him. They searched the hall carefully, checking every corner where someone might be hiding.
Several low-level middle-ranking officials and palace officials who came with them were kicked out immediately, and then they came to capture several concubines and kicked them out as well.
"Slow down!" Zheng Yong still had political wisdom, and he stopped the sergeant from making blind moves.
"General Ningyuan Zheng Yong is here to see Your Majesty." He bowed first, and then said: "His Royal Highness King Xia wants to come to see Your Majesty. The matter involves secrets. Gong'e, middle officials, and concubines should stay away for now."
The saint's heart was calm.
He could not pursue the rude behavior of the warriors. After the hardship, there would be embarrassing scenes. After calming down his mind, he said: "Officials from the Nanya and Northern Divisions can come with them to pay homage to them outside the town." .I am very pleased that the king of Xia has made a contribution to protect you. I will definitely receive a generous reward. Zheng Qing will go and deliver the message."
Zheng Yong glanced at him and stood still.
Obviously, the emperor's order did not work.
The surrounding sergeants also treated the emperor as if they were nothing. After carefully searching the corners, they set up sentries on the spot in the hall under the leadership of the officers. For a while, commands were heard everywhere, as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
Someone came over and asked if they wanted to search the saint's body to see if there were any hidden weapons.
"Big...bold." The saint's voice was very soft, as if he had no confidence.
Zheng Yong frowned.
The palace people had been semi-forced to leave the Yamen Hall, and Mrs. Li looked back at the saint with tears streaming down her face.
Zheng Yong stepped forward and stood in front of the saint.
How did Yu Wenhu die? It seems that he was hit on the back of the head by Yu Wenyong with a jade wat, and he fell to the ground. The eunuch He Quan came over with a knife, but when the situation came to a close, he did not dare to do it. He did not know whether it was because of his trembling hands or the knife. The sword was struck in an empty space. In the end, the king of Wei, Yuwen, grabbed the knife and killed the powerful minister Yuwenhu.
At this time, there were all sergeants in the government office, so the saint naturally had no chance to carry out the murder, but what if there was something else hidden?
"That's all." Zheng Yong summoned several sergeants, stood in front of the saint, and said, "Just stand here."
"As commanded."
After that, Zheng Yong didn't care about the change in the saint's face and went out to report it.
…
"Have you ever caught Fu Daozhao?" In Shacheng Town, Shao Shude was sitting behind the desk, playing with the tea cup in his hand.
All the officials were blocked outside, and the crowd was in a violent mood.
Most of the soldiers in Pengridu were captured, and the Yinqiangdu soldiers kicked and beat them before taking them away.
"Commander, we are still pursuing." Zhe Congyun replied.
"Well, it's best to catch it. It won't be a big deal if you don't catch it." Shao Shude saw Zheng Yong coming over and stopped drinking tea. He stood up and asked, "Is it done?"
Zheng Yong leaned close to his ear and whispered.
Shao Shude nodded and said, "It's time to meet the saint."
He already knew the saint's mental state, and it should be relatively nervous. According to Ting Wang Si's analysis, the saint's personality was prone to extremes. He would be overjoyed at one moment, trusting someone with all his heart, and furious at the next.
He wishes he could kill the person who deceived him.
Of course Shao Shude knows better.
In history, Du Rang was able to take the blame for the saint, which shows that this person has no responsibility. No wonder those who are capable now are passive and sabotage. On the contrary, people like Cui Zhaowei and Cui Yin have great power.
I want to do something, but if you can't provide me with security, then you can just be a hammer and just mess around.
The sound of beetles colliding could be heard outside the hall, and the saint who was sitting restlessly in the hall subconsciously sat upright. The sorrow on his face was swept away, and he became solemn, solemn, and majestic.
The door suddenly became dark, and the saint raised his eyes and saw a fully clothed warrior walking in, escorted by his own soldiers.
"The vassal minister Shao Shude is here to see your majesty." The warrior bowed and saluted.
The saint did not stand up to return the salute, but said: "Shao Qing has the merit of holding up the sky to protect you. I am very happy about this. But he came with many soldiers. What do you want to do?"
The soldiers brought the chair, Shao Shude sat down and said: "Your Majesty, I have received a secret edict. When I arrived, I saw soldiers surrounding the chariot hub and surrounding me. Only after driving away the rebels can I see the beauty of the sky. Your Majesty, are you ready now?"
Do you want me to rein in the troops and return to town?"
The saint choked.
Seeing that the saint was silent, Shao Shude started talking to himself again: "Your Majesty, I have just received my revenge. I rebelled against the rebels and looted the treasury and plundered the whole city. Some people also saw the palace palace being illuminated by fire and the sky filled with smoke and dust. This is a critical situation."
Having said this, he paused and said, "I don't dare to enter the capital until I get the imperial edict."
The saint's face changed drastically.
At first, most of the palace city was burned by Huang Chao, but it was repaired year by year, relying on gold merchants, Hedong, Hezhong, Shaanxi and Guo towns to donate money and wood. If it is burned again this time, who will help him rebuild the palace in the future?
In addition, he has to go back to Chang'an, so he can't stay in Shacheng all the time, right? There is nothing here, and the emperor and his ministers are sleeping in the wild?
If he wants to return to the capital, he must have troops. But he has no troops at hand, and he dare not use them if he does. Who else can he rely on to escort him back to Chang'an besides Xia Bing?
Shao Shude sighed, turned around and ordered: "Send some water to the saint, concubine, and palace servants."
From last night to now, the saint must have missed three meals in a row. This life is really...
He now knew clearly the emperor's little thoughts. He wanted to rely on Xia Jun to escort him back to Chang'an, expel the rebels, and clean up the mess, but he didn't want to see Xia soldiers surrounding him because he felt a strong sense of insecurity.
I want to get rid of these warriors as soon as possible.
The saint probably didn't trust any of the warriors, including the Xia soldiers who came to rescue him. He wished they could leave now, as far away as possible.
The soldiers brought vinegar cakes, water, and some cheese, which were all dry food carried by the cavalry.
The saint was a little hungry. When he saw the food, he immediately reached out to take it and started eating.
The vinegar cake may have been made for more than a month, and it doesn't taste very good, but the saint ate it very well.
Shao Shude waited quietly, and during this period he also received some military reports. The soldiers moved the table in, and after Shao Shude reviewed it, he had it sent out.
Civil servants and soldiers were coming in and out, official letters and orders were delivered one after another, and then taken away. The busy scene was almost comparable to that of the prime minister of Nanya. The more the saint looked at it, the more unpleasant he became. The vinegar cake in his hand
He couldn't eat anymore and was thinking about how to make Shao Shude go away and keep out of sight.
After reviewing the official letter, Shao Shude stopped and looked at the saint with a leisurely expression, thinking silently in his heart.
Although I no longer intend to give face to the court, we still need to pay attention to the means in some things, and legality of procedures is very important.
The saint dislikes me and wants to rely on me, but he is not clear-minded now. In this case, it is better to let the officials come over to persuade him. Those are all human beings who can talk and have already figured out the temper of the saint. Let them persuade him.
, presumably the saint will make the right choice.
Thinking of this, Shao Shude said again: "Your Majesty, I am the commander-in-chief of the vassal, and I dare not take charge of the big plans of the country. Now I have driven out the rebels, and the Holy Emperor has turned the corner. All the officials are waiting outside the town, and it is inconvenient for me to stop him, so why not let him in?
Paying homage is also a good way to make plans for your return?"
The saint was a little surprised when he heard this, but it was not a bad thing. He immediately said: "What you said is true, so please summon all the officials to the throne."
