The flying bird flew under the clouds and landed on the eaves of the palace to comb its feathers. It blinked its eyes as if attracted by something, and looked at the towering imperial palace in the distance.
Fierce words continued to spread over there, so that the guards and eunuchs waiting outside the hall held their breaths and did not dare to speak out.
"Chang'an, the capital of a country, those assassins dare to act like this, which shows how domineering grass bandits outside Luoyang are. He wants to plot Chang'an, lower the majesty of my Tang Dynasty, and even more want to persecute your majesty. He was obedient to the imperial court, but none of them did their best to suppress the thieves, and they all watched from their own three-acre land! Minister, I want to go to Fengxiang Jiedu as foreign aid!"
"What Zheng Xiang said is reasonable, did Privy Tian nod?"
"The Privy Council agrees."
"In this case, let Zheng Xiang take up his post. However, the rebels are now powerful, and I feel that you are also responsible for recruiting him to surrender, but you are obstructing in every possible way. Now you can't beat them. Everyone can't wait to be defeated. It was my fault."
In the main hall, red pillars and golden dragons circled around. Under the imperial steps, rows of civil and military officials bowed their heads and said in unison, "I dare not wait."
"Humph."
Between the golden dragon chair and the maids shaking fans, Li Yan patted the armrest of the dragon's head lightly, "Well, since I dare not, then I will speak loudly."
He stood up holding on to the handrails, cocked his head and walked on the imperial steps with his robes in his hand. He walked back and forth twice before stopping, his eyes swept over the group of civil and military figures in the middle of the dragon pillars on both sides.
"The affairs of the ministers are unfavorable, so that the rebels have become bigger and have 60 people. Now they are approaching Luoyang and endangering Tongguan. I ordered Tian Shumi to command the eight towns inside and outside the Shence Army and all the soldiers and horses. Ask for envoys, Zhang Chengquan will be the vanguard envoy of soldiers and horses and the envoy of Tongguan system, and Wang Shihui will be the envoy of Guansai grain and fodder, and Zhao Ke will be the envoy of Judangzhai!"
Walking to the last section of the imperial steps, the young emperor paused for a moment before continuing: "Qi Kerang, who is stationed in Ruzhou, is also responsible for taking a rest and wrestling with Luoyang to thwart the arrogance of the rebels. Since the Zhaoyi Army If it is not available, then he will go up to it, and if there is anything lacking in the army, he will ask Tongguan for food and fodder, so it is decided that the Minister of the Ministry of Education will draw up the edict, and the Minister of the Ministry of Education will not need to read it, and will directly issue the edict!"
His voice was slow and steady, and he didn't have the expression of being obsessed with horses in ordinary times. He flicked his sleeves and decided the matter.
"Since there is no objection, then retreat."
All the officials dispersed, and Li Xuan, who was going around to the side hall, came up from afar, his solemn face suddenly showed a smile, there was no shadow of majesty just now, "Brother, I said as you said, those civil and military people usually point fingers at me, just now one Don't dare to show any air, now that Tongguan is under the control of the big companion, no one dares to object. By the way, how is the horse in the Houyuan beating?"
"With the protection of His Majesty's dragon energy, it is natural to win."
The visitor bowed and said something softly, holding a cane in both hands and handing it to the emperor, "Just now when I rode a cane on horseback, this servant came to realize something, maybe it can make your Majesty even better at the cane."
"Why do you still call yourself a slave? Didn't I tell you to change your mouth?"
Li Yan leaned on the stick to help him up, walked out of the side hall together, and went to the back garden. Next to him, the eunuch with a handsome face and no need to take a step slowly followed behind, bowing his head and smiling: "Your Majesty's servant , In private, if you call yourself like this, the servant will feel at ease."
"You"
Who doesn't like to hear flattering words, and Li Xuan has heard them all since he was a child, and only this big companion can make him feel the warmth from his heart. Pulling hands to the front of the body, they walked parallel to the eaves of the corridor and went to the back garden.
The blazing summer light shrouded the palace buildings, and the birds parked at the corners of the eaves spread their wings and chirped twice, flying across the square in front of the Tai Chi Hall.
Civil and military officials from the next court walked in groups of twos and threes. When they passed through the palace gates that needed to be searched, many people bowed their hands to the old eunuch standing next to him with sleeves. Yu Cong, who was walking side by side, went over to say hello with a smile on his face.
"I've seen the son-in-law."
"It turned out to be Gu Changshi." Yu Cong has a gentle temperament, and he rarely has a bad look at people who have no roots in his crotch. Moreover, this eunuch served the first emperors of the two dynasties, and never controlled the government. He only worked hard in the Gongye Bureau. It's hard to feel bad.
"I don't know what's the matter with Chang Shi Xun Cong?" He said to another old man beside him named Lu Xie: "Wait a moment." Then he went up to the old eunuch and bowed his hands back, the latter didn't have any other words, just smiled He raised his orchid fingers, and powder fell from his face in the piled up wrinkles.
"Actually, there is nothing wrong with our family. We just heard that the son-in-law was assassinated by a gangster early this morning, so we came here to ask if the son-in-law was injured. There are also many young eunuchs who are good at martial arts in our family's palace bureau. If the son-in-law needs it, we can send some here Your Majesty, protect Your Highness. It just so happens that I have newly acquired two torture instruments, which are very suitable for torture some damned people."
He said he was protecting His Royal Highness, but in fact he was protecting the son-in-law in the name of Princess Guangde's family, but he couldn't say that clearly, after all, eunuchs were the emperor's private property, and using them without permission was a felony, but the palace and the princess palace could also allow it. A certain number of eunuchs.
The son-in-law hesitated for a moment, but still declined politely: "I appreciate Chang Shi's kindness, but a group of thieves, if you catch them right now, they will be scattered, no matter how hard it is to do anything."
Immediately, he cupped his hands and left with Lu Xie. Consultant Fu sighed, he actually wanted to try those two instruments of torture, but he never found a chance, and now the son-in-law refused, let alone no chance.
Yu Cong, who passed through the palace gate and walked along the palace road of the imperial city, changed his relaxed expression just now, sighed deeply, and looked at the long palace walls on both sides.
"Lu Xiang, what you said before is correct, Zheng Xiang has withdrawn from this vortex and ran to Fengxiang to protect himself."
"Tian Lingzi can nod his head, which means that Zheng Tian is standing with the eunuch." Lu Xie is fifty-six this year, his hair bun and beard are almost completely white, he was ill before, and his confidant made a mistake, so he blamed him for all the crimes On top of that, even though he is one of the two prime ministers in the imperial court, it is difficult to speak again.
He was indignant and his eyes were full of anger, "I was with the gang of traitors, who spent so many years reading sage books in vain. And that Tian Lingzi, what His Majesty said today, you can tell at a glance that he is instigating behind the scenes, that traitors are wronging the country! Damn it!" !"
"I can't wait. Who told His Majesty to like to listen to him." The two old men walked side by side through the palace wall mottled with the traces of time, looking at the mottled moss and cracks on it, feeling the simple and heavy feeling, Yu Cong also sighed He said: "Hold me and wait for the matter of obstructing Huang Chao's surrender at the beginning, and control all the soldiers and horses in the capital in one fell swoop. This is his goal. It's terrible. I'm afraid that if he sees the situation is not good, he will run away with the soldiers and horses."
"A treacherous eunuch is ruining the country!" Lu Xie cursed again, his lips pursed tightly, his beard swaying slightly in the wind for a moment, and he said: "He asked his elder brother to be a military governor in Shu, which is already reserved for future generations. Lu. If he really escapes, the old man will remonstrate in front of His Majesty and smash his head against the Golden Luan Hall!"
The bright sun shone on his face, and his cloudy eyes narrowed slightly.
