Of course, the emperor must have known about Duan Ye for a long time. When he was still in Dunhuang, Jiankang had noticed this fast-rising person. At that time, it was obvious that Duan Ye was already a rising star.
Rising star
Of course, no one, including Sima Daozi himself, expected that Duan Ye would become a prince so quickly. But after all, Liangzhou and Jiangnan, thousands of mountains will remain forever. Anyway, no matter how good Duan Ye is, he will be able to
, it won’t affect Jiangnan, so everyone doesn’t care.
But now, Sima Changming actually wants to recruit Duan Ye directly. What is going on? Is it true or false? Who gave him the idea?
A lot of questions immediately made Sima Daozi a little confused, because he had never thought of this question at all, and his staff had not discussed it in advance. He didn't know what to say for a while.
But Sima Changming seemed to be interested. He asked with a smile: "Third brother, look, Duan Ye was able to defeat Lu Guang and others and completely occupy Liangzhou in such a short period of time. That is naturally very impressive."
He knows how to fight, and his ability to handle internal affairs is said to be quite good. Wouldn't it be a pity if we don't recruit such a person?"
Sima Daozi hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, this person is certainly capable, but... he first followed Lu Guang, and later became loyal to Fu Hong, so... those are all Di people."
"It doesn't matter." Sima Changming waved his hand, "After all, when he was born, our court had already retreated to Jiangzuo, allowing the country to fall and the people to fall under the rule of thieves and bandits. It was our fault, and we cannot blame him! Moreover, it has been so long since he debuted.
"Hey, have you heard that he did anything to disgrace the Han people?" "That's not true." "Then it's over!" Sima Changming said with interest, "Look, no matter what he does,
They are also Han people! Generally speaking, that was when Chief Hu appointed Han people. In order to show their loyalty, those traitors often did a lot of things that went even worse, but Duan Ye did not! What does this mean? This means that Duan Ye
There is room for ""Yes"" There is more." Sima Changming became more and more happy as he spoke, "Third brother, I am telling you something from the bottom of my heart. Now you also know that our Jin country actually said
Forget it, it’s not me, nor our Sima family.” A trace of pain flashed across Sima Daozi’s face, and he said: “My brother is incompetent...” “No, no, no,” Sima Changming helped Sima Daozi, who was already kneeling, and said:
"This matter is not your fault, it is my problem, and of course the past emperors... This... you know, anyway, there are many reasons. Nowadays, the noble families have long been in the same spirit and echoed each other. Don't look at the Wang family and Xie
The family is very fierce, huh, you think I can't understand? They just want to fight for who can be the boss! But no matter who wins, they have one thing in common, that is, they despise the imperial power!" "Yes!" "And Duan Ye
It's different!" Sima Changming was a little excited, "Don't forget, Duan Ye is from the Han clan! A complete Han clan, now without a father, mother or relatives, where can you find such a person?" Sima Daozi seemed to have caught him
What did you live in?
"And you see, he is an orphan, so he has no relatives. Even if he becomes successful, he will not form a family power. He is Han, and he is destined to never gain the complete trust of the Di people! So what can he do? Maybe he wants to be independent, but today
In this world, there is no huge family, no legal system and Taoist system. It is impossible to be the king by yourself. Although Chen Sheng and Wu Guang were the first to raise the banner and resist the violent Qin, in the final analysis they still have
He is a rebellious minister and a traitor. If Duan Ye wants to show off his strength for a while, it is possible. If he wants to be truly self-reliant, it is impossible. He is a smart man and should know this. If we can recruit Duan Ye, he has no choice.
You must be loyal to us. If you operate it properly, you may be able to take back the power from the clan in one fell swoop!" Sima Daozi looked at his brother in surprise, as if he was meeting him for the first time!
At this time, Sima Daozi realized that maybe he had underestimated him for a long time. This brother was definitely not willing to be a puppet, and even his ambition and wisdom were not inferior to his own.
However, Sima Daozi still said, "Your Majesty, I have a question. I want people to join me. They are nothing more than vulgar people. They promise them money, silk and beautiful women. If they are ambitious, they promise to come. Cheng Rongjing, but Duan Ye heard that he is the richest in the world, and there are some
My lovely wife and concubine, now he is quite comfortable as the local emperor in Liangzhou. Why should we let him give up all this and come to Jiangnan?" "Haha
"Haha, it's very simple." Sima Changming said slowly, "He has everything now, so he may not be willing to do it if he has nothing?" Sima Daozi was stunned at first, but he suddenly saw Sima Changming's meaningful eyes,
Suddenly he seemed to understand something. Even though he was ruthless and used to seeing all kinds of cruel things, he couldn't help but shudder!
…
Today is the time for the court meeting. According to the custom, Duan Ye cannot go to the main hall to wait for the summons when he is waiting for the pilgrims. Naturally, a middle official will take Duan Ye to the side hall to wait. However, in this way, Duan Ye cannot take a look.
How is the Hajj held?
In fact, the Hajj is a special court event. In the strict sense, the Hajj is a large-scale court ceremony held at the beginning of each year. It has the highest etiquette standards. It began in the Western Zhou Dynasty, Qin and Han Dynasties, and continued until the Wei and Jin Dynasties. It has been inherited by all dynasties. In the past, Fu Jian seized the throne of the Heavenly King.
Later, in order to show that he was actually Zhengshuo of China, he also decided to hold a great court meeting every year.
The so-called Dachao Hui means hundreds of officials meeting the emperor in "Zhou Li; Chun Guan; Da Zong Bo": "When they meet in spring, they are called Chao, when they meet in summer, they are called Zong, when they meet in autumn, they are called Zhi, when they meet in winter, they are called Yu, when they meet, they are called Hui, and when they meet in Yin, they are called Tong.
"This is the explanation of the Great Court Meeting.
According to etiquette, the time when princes and officials meet with the emperor is in the morning, so it is called "chao".
The assessment of officials’ work performance is now in the autumn, so the ceremony held here is the Hajj
In fact, Duan Ye is now a prince, but he cannot go directly to the main hall for this pilgrimage. The problem is his status.
Because as a prince, you must have a corresponding title, but Duan Ye does not have one now. Duke Bozinan, Duan Ye is not even a baron.
Without a title, you are not considered a noble. No matter how high-ranking you are, you are still a commoner. Nobles will look down on you.
What's more, now Duan Ye actually occupies Liangzhou, but Fu Hong has not appointed himself, nor has he issued an imperial edict, so the problem of being the governor of Liangzhou is not considered a real one, because before, the governor recognized by the imperial court was Lu
Guang, naturally recognizes the official position appointed by Lu Guang. In this case, Chang'an only recognizes Duan Ye as a member of the governor's office and joined the army.
Of course, a mere man who joins the army can only wait in the side hall. Even this is a grace, because strictly following etiquette, he can only wait outside the hall.
But it doesn't matter to Duan Ye. Now that he's here, how can he be safe? According to the previous agreement, Duan Ye can only bring one follower. At this time, Sheng Sheng has come back. In fact, when he comes back, it happens to be the time when Duan Ye wants to make a decision.
After much deliberation, Duan Ye decided to lead Xian Sheng instead of Cui Hao.
Derived from nature, it makes no sense
After entering the palace gate and looking around, the palace was quite magnificent and majestic. However, Duan Ye had seen the Forbidden City, so he didn't feel much about it. He just glanced at it briefly and stopped looking away.
The eunuch who was leading the way was quite surprised at this time, because since he was chosen to lead the way, he would definitely have to observe Duan Ye's expression and behavior. However, he saw Duan Ye facing the majestic and magnificent palace.
But there was no response!
Obviously, according to their knowledge, Duan Ye has never been to the imperial palace before. A place like the imperial palace is not only a magnificent and gorgeous building, but more importantly, it is a symbol of imperial power and a manifestation of authority. Ordinary people, seeing the imperial palace, may
Their faces were as pale as earth, and even if they tried to remain calm, it was easy to tell that these eunuchs were people who had met countless people.
But Duan Ye was really calm, because from what the eunuch heard, there was no fluctuation in Duan Ye's heartbeat or the frequency of his footsteps!
At this time, the eunuch began to pay more attention to Duan Ye. It seemed that this guy was really extraordinary.
But Duan Ye asked at this time: "What is the name of this master?" Of course he would call him the eunuch. In fact, Duan Ye originally wanted to call him father-in-law, but that would seem to remind him that he was an eunuch. This was not an offense at this time.
when people
In fact, although this man was wearing a green robe and holding a whisk in his hand, he looked like a eunuch at first glance, but he also looked like a handsome young man, and he smelled of spices, probably to cover up the smell of urine.
Duan Ye previously thought that he would be extremely disgusted if he saw an eunuch, but looking at the man in front of him, Duan Ye did not feel this way because he seemed to be younger than himself.
Don't think about it. This must be because the family was too poor to survive and had no other choice, so he took himself out of the palace and entered the palace. After all, he is also a poor person. If not, a child of this age should have already married a wife.
I have found a good job, my wife and children are on the hot bed.
The eunuch was stunned, but saw Duan Ye looking at him with a warm face, and said: "Master Duan, the name of this slave is An Hai, and he is the slave who serves His Majesty in his studies."
"Sir, please take good care of me. Don't take it for granted!" An Hai said hurriedly, "Your Majesty has been looking forward to your coming for a long time. Don't worry, this time, your wishes will definitely come true."
