Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 1039
Time rewinds to a quarter of an hour ago.

Suwei of the Northern Army suddenly joined the defense that should not have appeared. In Shen Zhezi's view, there were probably two intentions.

The first point is obvious. The army, especially the army stationed in Gyeonggi, is a sensitive area that must not be easily manipulated, especially when it involves a powerful official like Shen Zhezi, the sensitivity will increase several times.And as we all know, Shen's influence in the northern army's old guard is very low.

This kind of thing happened suddenly, and anyone who has a little sense of the current situation can detect the unusual meaning.But for people from the Shen family, Shen Zhezi was suddenly placed in an environment where his safety could not be guaranteed, and the deeper he was involved with the Shen family, the more intense his reaction would be.

Who is an enemy and who is a friend can only be revealed at such a delicate and critical moment.The so-called Prime Minister Bai knows how to press a sword. No matter what he usually says and does, when the safety of Shen Zhezi, the core figure of the Shen family, is threatened, many details that cannot be observed normally will be reflected in large quantities.

As for unifying the hearts of the guards, although this point is a little obscure, it is not difficult to understand.The basic composition of Suwei is the so-called Liangjiazi from the six counties. Of course, after several major blood exchanges and reorganizations, a large number of overseas Chinese children joined in.

Take the Northern Army Suwei as an example. Although the Shen family's influence is not enough, it is at the general level.In fact, the Suwei of the Northern Army is also composed of a large number of children from the northern and southern Shiliu families. From a further distance, Shen Zhezi was Ji Zhan's disciple, and he presided over the defense of Gyeonggi for a long time during the Suzu Rebellion.

In particular, although the guards have different responsibilities, they are soldiers after all, and Shen Zhezi is the representative of military achievements in the country today.With all these factors added up, it is really difficult to estimate how influential Shen Zhezi is among the guards, especially among the lower-level commanders.

The sudden involvement of the Northern Army meant that Shen Zhezi's life was directly threatened. No matter what the underlying reasons were, he would inevitably endure the counterattack of the Shen family's forces.This is not determined by Shen Zhezi's personal will, it is determined by the characteristic of the entire faction that must revenge.

In this way, the northern army will inevitably fall into a vortex of struggle. If someone pushes from behind, more guards may be involved.This directly conveyed a belief that Liang Gong and the entire Shen family were extremely dissatisfied with Su Wei.If he is not in his place, even if there are some old entanglements involved, how much can be left after this noise?
Every time more dogs are slaughtered in righteousness, the lower the people are, the more inclined they are to agree with the big concept.An ordinary Suwei soldier, even if this matter has nothing to do with him, but he is a member of the Suwei, Liang Gong is dissatisfied with the Suwei, which will make him feel threatened.

Of course, in addition to these two points, there can be other interpretations of the Northern Army's move, such as is it a threat?But all these intentions are a means. What is the purpose of the manipulators behind it? In fact, it remains to be further observed. What kind of goals do they want to achieve?
So after this, the situation will inevitably have further developments.

Shen Zhezi thought that he had done enough psychological construction, but he didn't expect that this further development would come so quickly, and it would unfold in a way that he never thought of.

Because of being cautious, when Shen Zhezi entered Tongyuan, he was accompanied by Ban Jian.This is not because of timidity, but as a faction leader's responsibility to others.Right now the emperor is also in Tongyuan, if anyone wants to use the emperor's name in Tongyuan to harm Shen Zhezi, it is challenging the bottom line of all the aristocratic families.

Because of the so-called clan politics, there are two most basic characteristics in politics, one is to share the imperial power, and the other is to maintain the imperial power.How can others play if they involve the emperor in unpredictable dangers for their own selfish interests?Everyone's common hole card, it is impossible to hand it over to you to bet alone!Whoever gets involved will lose the most basic position of being a powerful person.

But after Shen Zhezi arrived outside the hall, a very strange scene appeared in front of his eyes: two teams of guards with bright armors lined up on both sides of the road, each holding a saber and sacrificial vessel in their hands.When Shen Zhezi left the team and walked on the road, first two guards stepped forward and crossed his neck, and the other two held knives through his armpit and held him forward.And these four weapons are real!

Encountering this situation suddenly, Shen Zhezi didn't panic, because he knew it was a kind of etiquette, a kind of Han etiquette that had long been forgotten by the people of the time.

The three princes of the Han Dynasty led the troops to see them, and they all crossed their halberds and crossed their necks.

Shen Zhezi knew this old ritual not because he was familiar with etiquette, but because of a story.That is, when Cao Cao attacked Zhang Xiu and went to see Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, he suffered this kind of treatment, sweating profusely, and never made a pilgrimage since then.

During the Wei and Jin dynasties, powerful ministers came out frequently, and the authority of the emperor declined. This old ritual, which directly threatened the lives of powerful ministers, was also consciously forgotten.At least Shen Zhezi has been in this world for so many years, and he has never heard anyone talk about this old ritual on any occasion.

So when he encountered this kind of treatment, he was a little dazed for a moment, not sure what the intention of the person who put on such a posture was.As for the squad sword guards behind him, they naturally didn't know these so-called old rituals. Seeing that the governor was directly held hostage by a murder weapon, they immediately jumped up, rushed over to snatch Shen Zhezi back, and then rushed out to protect him.

This is what the Northern Army saw when they rushed into Tongyuan.

Shen Zhezi had seen big winds and waves before, but at this moment, he really felt a little caught off guard.Because this move was so unexpected, it can be said that how sinister the human heart is, there can be as much interpretation of this behavior.Even he couldn't grasp the purpose of the mastermind behind it for a while.

Since you can't figure it out, then naturally you have to choose what is most beneficial to you.And which aspect is beneficial to Shen Zhezi?This is rude!
First, he is not Sangong, nor is he leading the army to see, but to write according to the imperial edict.Second, he is not Cao Cao, he is not obeying the order of the emperor to disobey, but he is ordered by the king to defeat Hu Ni!
So under the watchful eyes of all the old guards, Shen Zhezi personally stepped forward and beat up the ritual officer.This is to put yourself on the right side first in terms of etiquette, and then use small mistakes such as disrespect to divide the attacks that may appear later.

Everyone present at the moment, Shen Zhezi's guards are just worried, and right now the only priority is the safety of the governor.As for the two guards, they were also extremely shocked at the moment, and they didn't know what to do.

Generals like Zhao Yin who had the highest status on the scene, because they had more knowledge of the dangers of political conspiracy, were even more afraid at the moment.

But no matter how bad Shen Zhezi's martial arts skills are, he has been in the army for a long time, and now he is acting out of anger, and it is not something that a mere court official can stop.

Seeing that Duke Liang had no intention of stopping at all, and the situation of the courtier was even more worrisome, Huan Wen had no choice but to bite the bullet and stepped forward. After walking a few steps, he saw Duke Liang's subordinate Jianhu staring at him. He spread his hands, Standing a few feet away, he shouted loudly: "Liang, Mr. Liang, please calm down, after all, the Son of Heaven is near the garden here..."

Shen Zhezi didn't really want to beat the ritual officer to death, it was part of his anger expression. After hearing Huan Wen's persuasion, he finally stopped. Then he looked around at the guards present and shouted angrily, "Back off!"

At this moment, most of the guards were at a loss. When they heard the scolding, they all avoided walking to the side, but they still vaguely surrounded Shen Zhezi and his guards on the spot.

Only when there was no one else nearby, Shen Zhezi shook off the dust on his robe, straightened his crown and tied his crown, and bowed in the direction of the palace where the emperor was, with a hint of sadness in his tone: "The minister is ordered to return to the capital, and I want to be the king The merits and demerits of the previous report. Unexpectedly, the way to see the audience was blocked by treacherous evil, and we could not see each other! So far, the monarchs and ministers are in great sorrow. Fortunately, they are loyal and brave in the north of the river. They only need an edict, and they will return to the capital to worship again!"

After finishing speaking, he stood up again with three bows, walked back to his guard, and said in a deep voice, "Let's go!"

At this moment, there are also other guards stationed in other places who heard the news, and many people heard clearly that Liang Gong's words had the intention of being king, and they were all shocked for a moment, and their hands and feet were cold.

Most of them don't know why the situation has evolved to this point, and Zhao Yin, who is the highest in the field, is shaking like a sieve at the moment, and his figure is on the verge of falling. The generals will give a clear instruction.

But even if there were no instructions, many people realized that Liang Gong must not be allowed to leave like this, otherwise Jiangdong would be caught in the flames of war again in the next moment!But even if they are aware of this, who would dare to take the initiative at this moment?Although Liang Gong has not been in charge of the Suwei for a long time, he is also a legendary figure among the Suwei that no one can surpass in recent years.

So the guards neither dared to enter nor retreated, just crowded in a space like this, and at the same time quickly ordered someone to notify the Taifu of the chaos here, hoping that someone would come forward to clean up the chaotic situation in time.

The old guards wanted to stand in a stalemate, but Shen Zhezi and his guards made up their minds.

Although they were unarmed, they clasped their arms and elbows, surrounded and protected the governor, and directly used their bodies to meet the sharp weapons in the hands of the later guards, and opened the way with their bodies against the blades. After leaving Tongyuan, under the bewildered eyes of the guards, he pushed the governor into the car and left quickly.

In Tongyuan, the first important person to arrive was Wei Chong, the head of the country, who was guarding the army. He was clearly armored at the moment, and his demeanor did not have the elegance and demeanor that the Wei family has always been praised by the world. overwhelmed by anxiety.

After Wei Chong arrived at the scene, he immediately summoned the generals of the guards present in front of him for a little questioning, but at this moment, no one can explain the whole story clearly, so he can only briefly state what he saw.

"Can the Northern Army let go of such a bad thing?"

Wei Chong's face was livid, and he ordered Zhao Yin to be taken down on the spot, stripped off his armor, and then quickly ordered the guards to return to their positions to guard Tongyuan, and then he hurried to the palace where the emperor was.

"Wei, Duke Wei, do you want to send another guard to protect Duke Liang?"

Huan Wen bowed his head and walked to the left, seeing Wei Chong turn and leave, struggling several times in his heart, he suddenly spoke.

After hearing this, Wei Chong's expression changed again, he turned his head and glared at Huan Wen, then went straight to the emperor's hall without saying anything.
