Guardsman Sun Rui walked out of the tent, raised his head, looked at the billowing smoke and dust on the plateau, and narrowed his eyes.
For several days, the emperor got up at dawn and practiced martial arts.
The Guangluxun camp down there also started training. Although it was unorganized, it finally took action and was much more active than before.
Guard Han Bin rushed over and softly explained the situation he had just found out.
After seeing the emperor come back from Zhijinwu's camp that day, he rushed to each camp to learn about the situation in preparation for Shisun Rui's inquiry.
Shisun Rui glanced at Han Bin, felt Han Bin's strange emotions, and couldn't help but smile.
"Although your Majesty is young, he has an unyielding ambition and a will to use force. This is the great fortune of this man."
"What the Weiwei said is true." Han Bin said, but his eyes were looking at the emperor's banner and the smoke on the top of the loess plateau in the distance.
Shisun Rui thought for a while and said: "Pass the order and order all the Sima of the sects to come to discuss matters and discuss daily training matters. Your Majesty personally conducts military training, and we, as ministers, must not slack off."
"Here." Han Bin responded and turned around.
Shisun Rui raised his head, looked at it for a moment, and called an attendant. "Go and see if the Taiwei is busy. I want to visit him later."
The attendant shook his head. "The Taiwei left the camp three days ago and has not returned yet."
Shi Sunrui was surprised. "Where has he gone?"
"I don't know, I just know it went east."
Shi Sunrui frowned even more tightly.
The situation was urgent and the aftermath of the abnormal celestial phenomenon was still lingering. Why did Taiwei Yang Biao suddenly leave the camp without even giving him any news?
The attendant thought for a while and said one more thing.
Before Yang Biao left the camp, he had met the Emperor. Before Yang Biao met the Emperor, General Yang Feng of Xingyi also came, and when he left, he paid a great salute to the Emperor. His demeanor was respectful, and he was not as frivolous and domineering as before.
Shi Sunrui was even more curious, staring at the smoke and dust on the plateau without saying a word.
Could it be that the visions seen a few nights ago were not bad omens but good omens?
The destiny of the Han Dynasty is not over yet, is there still hope for ZTE?
He pondered for a moment, asked his attendants to stay, notified the incoming Sima to wait, and walked towards Guang Luxun's camp.
The two camps were very close, and he quickly found Guang Luxun and Deng Quan.
Deng Quan was arranging the drill for his subordinates. When he saw Shi Sunrui coming in, he smiled bitterly and said, "Junrong, I guess it's time for you to come too."
Scholar Sun Rui is also welcome. They are both Jiuqing and have been colleagues for many years. He and Deng Quan are old friends.
"Bo Yuan, what on earth is going on? Huben, Yu Lin actually started training?"
Deng Quan shook his head, told what had happened, and finally reminded Shisun Rui to be prepared. The emperor could select elites from his and Fu Wan's camps, so naturally he would not miss Shisun Rui's guards.
Shisun Rui nodded. He didn't need to be reminded by Deng Quan, he knew this.
"Bo Yuan, I heard that General Yang Fenglai of Xingyi met with Your Majesty a few days ago?"
Deng Quan frowned, stroked his beard, and nodded vigorously. "Jun Rong, there is something I have been holding in my heart for a long time."
"What words?"
"Your Majesty... seems to be a different person."
"Shut up!" Shisun Rui lowered his face and looked around cautiously. "Bo Yuan, are you supposed to say such ridiculous things?"
Deng Quan sighed. "Junrong, I have been studying since I was a child and have been an official for a long time. Don't I know the etiquette of monarchs and ministers? It's just... It's just that Your Majesty gives me such a strange feeling. How should I put it, he is still the same person, but his aura is completely different.
Already."
Shi Sunrui also frowned. "What's the difference?"
"I can't tell." Deng Quan said: "Hearing a hundred times is better than seeing it. You'd better go to see the emperor and see with your own eyes, you will know that what I said is true. Jun Rong, to be honest, I don't know if this is a good thing or not.
Bad thing, I haven't slept well these past few days."
Shi Sunrui took one look at Deng Quan's tired face and knew that what he said was true. After thinking for a while, he handed over and left.
Deng Quan is right, the most direct way is to meet the emperor and see for himself the changes in the emperor.
When he arrived at the foot of the plain, Shi Sunrui asked Zhong Yao, the servant of Huangmen, to go up to the plain and report that he would wait at the foot of the plain. Before Zhong Yao came back, a carriage drove up from a distance and stopped at the foot of the plain.
Shi Sunrui saw clearly and was greatly surprised.
He recognized that the person in the car was Yang Xiu, the son of Taiwei Yang Biao.
The carriage stopped at the foot of the plateau and turned around.
A waiter got out of the car, put down a stool behind the car, then stepped forward and opened the door.
Yang Xiu got out of the car, stood up straight, raised his hand to support the crown, and then adjusted the long sword at his waist, then put his hands on his hips, looked around, and looked at Zixiong. His chin was slightly raised, showing that he was the one who wanted to be with me.
confidence.
Seeing Shi Sunrui, Yang Xiu was stunned for a moment, then showed a smile and walked over slowly.
"Master Shisun." The young man raised his hands and made a big salute.
Scholar Sun Rui held his beard and chin. "Dezu, are you here to see the Taiwei?"
Yang Xiu shook his head. "No. Your Majesty visited Huayin, and Xiu came to pay his respects as ordered by his mother."
Shi Sunrui nodded thoughtfully, glanced at the carriage in the distance, and smiled without saying a word.
If he didn't know that Yang Biao had met the Emperor a few days ago and left the camp to the east, he might have truly believed Yang Xiu's words. The fact that the carriage did not leave meant that Yang Xiu came to see the Emperor just to deal with it and did not intend to stay.
This is actually not difficult to understand.
When the Han Dynasty has reached this stage, everyone knows that their destiny is about to end. Their generation should be loyal to the country because they are deprived of the emperor's wealth, but the next generation has no such obligation.
If not, why would Yang Xiu not be an official today?
The son of a Taiwei should have been promoted to be filial, honest, talented, and become an official.
However, Shisun Rui did not tell the truth. After all, his son Shisun Meng did not enter the official position and was taking refuge in Jingzhou.
Yang Xiu stood at the foot of the plateau, chatting with the scholar Sun Rui, and at the same time greeted Zhong Yao, who was on duty, and asked him to go up to the plateau to report.
Hearing that he was the son of Taiwei Yang Biao, Zhong Yao was very respectful and turned around to go to the plain.
Yang Xiu smiled. "With all the eunuchs gone, the court's atmosphere has changed, which is gratifying. It's a pity that Wang Situ has too much of a celebrity habit and overcorrected, which ruined a good game of chess."
Scholar Sun Rui glanced at Yang Xiu. "Wang Situ has been loyal to the country and is worthy of his heart. The affairs of the country are waiting for others. Dezu is still a young man and works hard."
Yang Xiu's eyes flashed slightly and he laughed. He shook his head. "I don't dare to take the words of Master Sunjun seriously. Your Majesty is young and promising, and the ministers are all outstanding men in the world. Why should we, a young boy who has not yet done his job, speak nonsense? Xiu is also stupid and has no sense of scripture."
He is familiar with writing and is proficient in writing. I heard that your son is good at composition and I have admired him for a long time. I wonder if you can ask me for help in person in the camp?"
The two looked at each other, smiled knowingly, and then shook their heads at the same time and sighed.
If not forced by the situation, who would be willing to do this? Wouldn't it be better to join the officialdom smoothly?
It's a pity that manpower can't save it.
After a while, Zhong Yao came down and told Shisun Rui that the emperor invited him to go to the plateau.
Shi Sunrui nodded to Yang Xiu and stepped up to the plateau. Zhong Yao didn't know Yang Xiu, but he saw him standing side by side with Shisun Rui, chatting and laughing. He also saw that the carriage in the distance was wide and strong. He knew that he was not an ordinary scholar, so he did not dare to neglect him.
Come forward and ask.
The two exchanged names and learned that Yang Xiu was the son of Yang Biao. Zhong Yao felt close to him and became even more enthusiastic.
Yang Xiu was not in the mood to talk to a Huangmen servant. He looked at the smoke and dust on the plateau and frowned slightly.
Zhong Yao was disappointed and a little disappointed, but he didn't say anything and quietly stepped aside.
