In the last chapter of the book, it was said that Dugu Ruyu paid homage to Emperor Xiaoming's mausoleum and then entered Luoyang. He was waiting outside the palace for orders. Emperor Xiaozhuang was eagerly looking forward to Dugu Ruyu's arrival and hurriedly asked people to come into the palace!
As soon as they entered the Golden Palace, several people knelt down on the ground, pushed the gold mountain, toppled the jade pillars, kowtowed to the ground, and said: "I have come to see Your Majesty, long live long live! Long live long live!" Emperor Xiaozhuang was very happy to see all the heroes, and also
Regardless of his own dignity as a king, he lowered his rank to welcome him and helped Dugu fulfill his wish
The Xianyang Hall was suddenly filled with a jubilant atmosphere. Emperor Xiaozhuang said with golden mouth: "You are the pillars of the country. When the late emperor was still alive, he often mentioned to me that the country is in crisis now, with thieves everywhere and people in ruins. I thought of this,
It is inevitable that I feel extremely sad in my heart!" Dugu Ruyu could still see the sadness hanging on Emperor Xiaozhuang's thin face.
"Long live, ever since Empress Dowager Hu took control of the country, a huge empire in the sea was turned upside down by her, and ended up with her body sinking into the Yellow River. It can be regarded as her own fault. Now your Majesty is sitting in the palace, working hard to rule, pacify the world, and reorganize the Wei Dynasty.
How majestic! I am willing to protect my lord forever!" Dugu said generously as he wished.
"Ai Qing is truly a loyal and righteous man! I heard that you have civil and military personnel under your command, and all of them are loyal ministers of our Wei Dynasty. Although you are trapped in the bandit camp, you remain unmoved and unused! Not yet.
Would you like to introduce me to me?" Emperor Xiaozhuang saw four people standing behind Dugu Ruyuan.
Dugu Ruyuan introduced everyone to Emperor Xiaozhuang one by one. The four of them knelt down again and shouted long live. The one who was most uncomfortable with it was Delamo. He hated the red tape in the Central Plains, but look at Dugu Ruyuan's unhappy face.
, Delehmo also imitated the human-shaped mountain and shouted long live, but in his heart he wanted to see what the emperor looked like. When he raised his eyes, he happened to collide with the eyes of Emperor Xiaozhuang. Emperor Xiaozhuang took several steps back. Previous article
As we mentioned, Delemer was so dark and ugly that he even frightened the emperor.
As he wished, Dugu knelt down quickly and said: "Your Majesty, please don't be alarmed, I am guilty!" Emperor Xiaozhuang asked: "Who is this?" As he wished, Dugu then told Delehmo's life experience, and Emperor Xiaozhuang's heartbeat gradually became calmer.
Le Moxin said: What's wrong with me? I just glanced at the emperor! What's the big deal! The emperor is really a coward. In the book, it is said that in the feudal era, ministers could not look directly at the king when they saw him, otherwise they would just look at the king.
The crime was to gouge out both eyes, so Dugu knelt down and apologized as he wished. Delamo was from a foreign country, how could he know that there was such a layer of truth in it?
Emperor Xiaozhuang saw that there was still such a group of people who could work for the revitalization of the Wei Dynasty and sighed in his heart: "All the generals in Xiangshi are as eager as you are. How could there be such a war in the mountains and rivers of Wei?
All the generals are like yours, and we will be able to recover the rivers and mountains of the Wei Dynasty very soon. Such loyal and righteous people can be used by the imperial court, and Dugu can step forward to accept the title as he wishes!"
Things happened suddenly. The emperor's move was completely beyond Dugu Ruyuan's expectation. In fact, Dugu Ruyuan wanted to see if the current emperor could put the country as seriously as Emperor Xiaoming, or if he only cared about pleasure. Today, I saw Emperor Xiaozhuang and could let go.
The emperor's airs and demotion to welcome them can be regarded as the emperor's great favor! It shows that this emperor is indeed a good emperor worthy of support, and it also shows that his reputation when he was the king of Changle was not fake.
Dugu knelt down as he wished and said: "Your Majesty, I have something to say. Your Majesty will make a decision after listening to it!" Emperor Xiaozhuang thought to himself: It's strange that there are such people in the world! No official is willing to do it. Chrysostom said: "Love
Sir, please come here slowly!"
"Your Majesty, I am your Majesty's minister. Your Majesty does not have to doubt that I and others are willing to fight for your Majesty, even if they die ten thousand times, they will not even blink a brow! However, your Majesty's title, I and others are not yet available.
Don't you dare accept it? Isn't it convenient to talk here?" Dugu looked at the eunuchs beside him as he wished. Emperor Xiaozhuang retreated to the people on his left and right, and said: "My dear sir, just tell me if you have anything to say." "Yes, as far as I know, although your Majesty is a noble person,
Emperor, but Er Zhurong holds the power of the empire, and even the civil and military personnel of the dynasty are his minions! Therefore, I cannot accept your majesty’s summons. Although it is the highest honor, in order not to arouse Er Zhurong’s suspicion
, Your Majesty will have no worries, so I dare not accept it!"
After listening to Dugu's wishful words, Emperor Xiaozhuang thought to himself: It's really rare that someone at such a young age can have such knowledge. Emperor Xiaozhuang helped Dugu Lang up again and said, "Ai Qing is really a rare talent.
!" There was a hint of sobs in his voice as he spoke.
"Hey! My dear, although I am the emperor, I am under the control of others. Just as you said, during the Heyin Massacre, Er Zhurong slashed two thousand officials in the capital, and all the pillars of the imperial court were killed. Now Chong comes in
They are all slaves of their Erzhu family. How can they take me as the emperor seriously? Erzhu Rongshu puts his trust in his position and behaves according to his own wishes!" The emperor did not tell others what he felt.
Because of his understanding of many things about Dugu Ruyuan, he boldly said to Dugu Ruyuan
Dugu persuaded the emperor not to worry as he wished. He could only "take care of it" for Er Zhurong and not to act too hastily! As soon as he finished speaking, the eunuch on duty outside came in and reported: "Your Majesty, a general outside the palace said that he has something important to do.
Reported that he came all the way looking for General Dugu."
Emperor Xiaozhuang glanced at Dugu Ruyuan and said: "Xuan!" After a while, He Basheng entered the palace, shouted "Long live the mountain", and bowed to the emperor and ministers: "Your Majesty, the last general is He Basheng. I heard that Dugu
When I arrived at the palace as I wished, I chased him all the way, but I wonder where he is?"
Delehmo laughed but did not dare to loudly. He was afraid that Dugu would fall to his knees again and plead for mercy for himself. He noticed this smile. The person standing next to him was Emperor Dugulang. He stood up and asked: "General,
Why are you looking for Dugu Lang?"
He Basheng talked about the matter incessantly, telling it from beginning to end. When Emperor Xiaozhuang heard this, he felt happy and said to himself: Hey, Er Zhurong, you also have this day! You deserve it! You deserve it! I hope you have died in the west now.
Damn it
"Your Majesty, send troops to rescue quickly!" He Basheng begged.
Emperor Xiaozhuang turned his back and ignored him, hoping that this old enemy would die soon. But when he thought that Dugu Ruyu was still there and could listen to this person's opinion, he turned around and asked: "
Dugu Aiqing, what do you think of this matter?"
Logically speaking, Dugu Ruyuan and the emperor had the same idea. They both wanted to kill Er Zhurong with a borrowed knife. Then his shock to the court would disappear! The layout of the court would also be readjusted, which would be very harmful to the emperor.
It's powerful, but if you don't save it, it will certainly make Ge Rong's momentum even stronger. Although Er Zhurong has a disobedient heart, the time is not yet ripe, so a choice must be made between the wolf and the tiger.
"Your Majesty, Yichen, it seems that this depends on your choice!" He told Emperor Xiaozhuang all the above thoughts. After listening, the emperor pondered for a long time and said, "Ai Qing, do you want to rescue the governor first before making any plans?
"In front of He Basheng, Emperor Xiaozhuang was very cautious in what he said and did. In fact, this meant that Emperor Xiaozhuang wanted to cooperate with Er Zhurong, the wolf, to deal with Ge Rong, the tiger.
The monarchs and ministers discussed together how to rescue Er Zhurong and others. They finally decided to mobilize some troops from several nearby states and counties, including part of the Imperial Forest Army in the capital. In this way, more than 5,000 troops could be gathered.
Dugu went to rescue the siege with his troops as reinforcements as he wished.
Two days later, the troops were assembled, and Dugu Ruyuan led them all the way to Yecheng. On the way, Dugu Ruyuan asked He Basheng, "Second brother, how many more days do you think it will take for us to march like this?" He Basheng thought it was still possible.
It will take about ten days. Dugu Ruyuan thought: It seems that we need to speed up the march to give the defenders in Yecheng a piece of reassurance.
In order to save time, he ordered the whole army to take a small road to avoid collision with the bandit soldiers. They walked into the mountain road and walked for about two days. The guide stopped his horse and reported the situation to Dugu Ruyu, saying: "
There is a big mountain in front of the general. The mountain is high and the road is steep. It is a peak in the Taihang Mountains. It is called Tianzhu Mountain. There may be strong men who have fallen into disgrace here. Do you want to take a detour?"
When Dugu Ruyuan heard that strong men were here, he laughed and said: "Strong men can only rob passing merchants. How dare they still have the courage to confront our imperial army? Ignore them and tell me to advance quickly!"
No one paid any attention to this matter, and they strode forward. Suddenly, there was a sound of gongs, and a group of people came roaring down from Tianzhu Mountain. Hundreds of minions and one of the generals blocked the way. Dugu Ruyu took a look and thought.
:The world is so big, there are all kinds of things, but these robbers are really brave.
One of the leading generals asked: "Do you have a boy named Dugu Ruyuan among you?"
"Hey, don't talk nonsense. Is the name of the general also shouted by you grass bandits?" Shi Ning was furious on the horse.
"Names are meant to be called by others. Why don't others be allowed to shout?" As he said this, he called out Dugu Ruyuan's name several times. Dele raised his spear and was about to go up and fight him. Dugu Ruyuan pulled him and said: "
Brother Hei, these guys know my name, which means they know me, so how about you let me come up and have a look before making any plans?"
Feng Guangteng felt so good that Dugu reined up his horse and said, "My dear friend, what is your name? Why do you know me?"
"Bah, Dugu Ruyuan, you are so cruel!" As soon as he said this, Dugu Ruyuan felt like he had seen him somewhere before, but he couldn't remember it for a moment.
"Who is your Excellency?"
"Dugu Lang, please stop pretending to be stupid. Don't you remember Yang Zhen, General Ningyuan of Zuoren City?" After talking for a long time, Dugu remembered it as he wished. This man was Yang Zhong, whom he had met once before, but
I wonder how this person could become a bandit here?
"General Yang, can you move out of the way and let me wait?"
"Past? Humph! If it were someone else, I could send you food or wine, but you, Dugu, must not do it as you wish! Give me your life!"
