Xuande

Chapter 514 Xun Shuang's Regret
The problem in the court has been resolved, so Liu Bei turned around and saluted the little emperor Liu Xie and the Empress Dowager Dong behind him.

"The group of ministers has already agreed that the rebellious Yuan family is bold and reckless. He knows his mistakes and does not correct them. He insists on going his own way. He will die without guilt. The general of the minister Liu Bei asks the emperor to command the loyal ministers and righteous men in the world to crusade against the traitor Yuan and his servants, vowing to uproot them. , beheaded and killed, in order to repay the kindness of the late emperor and His Majesty, and please allow His Majesty!"

The little emperor Liu Xie blinked and remembered what the Empress Dowager Dong said to him before—no matter what Liu Bei asks you, you only need to say one word.

"allow."

His childish voice sounded in the hall.

This immature voice has no actual effect, but the symbol in name is indispensable.

His one word, one sentence, can make Liu Bei's actions extremely regular.

After the consent of the little emperor, Liu Bei was entrusted with the full power to quell the Yuan family's second rebellion, and Liu Bei will take charge of the matter as a general.

With righteousness in hand, no matter what he wants to do, he no longer needs to "ask for instructions" from the little emperor.

After the ministers withdrew, Liu Bei was stayed by Empress Dowager Dong and asked him about the matter.

"Xuande, I have entrusted all this matter to you. All of us, including our lives, are in your hands alone. Be careful not to let Yuan's rebels succeed."

"Empress Dowager, please rest assured, I am fully confident that I can put down the second rebellion of the Yuan family's traitors."

Liu Bei said respectfully: "Although the rebels of the Yuan family have the reputation of four generations and three lords, they have lost their righteousness. They are thieves. Since ancient times, no thieves can accomplish anything. I will definitely do my best to hunt down all the thieves. Don't give them the slightest chance of winning!"

"So, I will wait here for Xuande's good news."

After receiving Liu Bei's promise, the Empress Dowager Dong was a little relieved - after the coup d'etat was successful, only Liu Bei's remained.

Whether Jian Shuo or her ineffective nephew, they were all a little too indulgent, and they didn't know what they were doing, so they were really unreliable.

Fortunately, Liu Bei was a truly capable person. Liu Hong had been confused all his life, but at the end of his life, he chose the best and capable person to stay in Luoyang.

beautiful.

Because of her trust and reassurance towards Liu Bei, the Empress Dowager Dong also relaxed a lot during this period. In addition to the daily discipline of the little emperor Liu Xie, she sent people to search for some folk jugglers outside the palace, and let them perform in the palace all day long. , make yourself feel relaxed and happy.

If you get tired of watching juggling performances, ask people to collect some artisans who can fight cocks and dogs from the people, and watch them organize cockfights and dog fights every day, which is boundless joy.

If you get tired of looking at all these things, go to your own palace and get those precious decorations and clothes that you send people to collect everywhere, show off your beautiful clothes, and admire yourself in front of the bronze mirror. .

Those who didn't know thought she was a dead tree.

Anyway, she lived a very comfortable life, so comfortable that she was almost ecstatic.

In addition, the most pleasant thing for her is to go to He's cold palace to taunt He after dressing up, sneer at her, and watch her wail helplessly as a defeated dog. Even the soul is sublimated.

Such a comfortable and happy life, even when Liu Hong was still there, she never enjoyed it. Now that she enjoys it, she is very satisfied and is very concerned about whether such a life can continue.

Yuan's second rebellion was a major uncertainty, and she could not accept that her good life was ended by such uncertainty.

Therefore, she must and can only rely on Liu Bei.

Also after the dynasty was over, Xun Shuang left the palace with a heavy heart. On the way home, he ran into Ma Rike, so the two walked together, chatting while walking.

"I understand what the impermanence of the world means. In just over a month, Xuande has become the man in power of the big man. The situation is changing so fast that many people can't react."

Xun Shuang raised his eyebrows.

"It's not too abrupt, is it? Before that, he was the general who opened the government. He is so powerful that he is also ranked among the top in Luoyang City. Are you unhappy? The ancient literature school finally has a turnaround."

"Of course I'm happy, but I just didn't react."

Ma Rixun sighed: "It's not easy to feel that the younger generation who has been growing up before you suddenly walks in front of you and is still in front of you."

Xun Shuang nodded slowly.

"That's it."

Ma Rixun turned to look at Xun Shuang.

"It's you, Ciming, you are always the first to stand up and agree with some of Xuande's opinions these days. I heard that many people in the court are talking in private that you are anxious to cling to Xuande, and you don't have a long way to go. style of the author.

We understand you and know that you will not do this, but you should also pay attention to yourself, don’t always do what you shouldn’t do, otherwise the reputation will be bad, which will affect your reputation and Xun’s reputation. You have clansmen working under Xuande's command, so what are you worried about? "

Xun Shuang was stunned for a moment, but then looked somewhat embarrassed.

"What you said is, what you said is, I naturally wouldn't have such thoughts, but I didn't expect that someone would treat me like this..."

"Once Xuande rose to power, many people stared at him, and naturally many people who got close to him were also looked at."

Ma Rixun smiled bitterly and said: "Recently, there are not one or two people who come to me for help. They look down on eunuchs, and they don't want to be with Gaoliang children like Dong Zhong, so they can only serve Xuande? But How can they easily work with Xuande?"

Xun Shuang had something on his mind, so he nodded repeatedly, not paying much attention to what Ma Rixun was struggling with.

This guy, after earning so much money, is still pretending in front of me?

Xun Shuang was very upset.

After returning home, Xun Shuang found his brother Xun Su who had not yet returned to his hometown, and poured out his bitterness to him.

"I really never expected the situation like today. How did Liu Xuande come to this point all of a sudden? How did he become famous all of a sudden? Why did the Yuan family and the He family suddenly collapse? Isn't this a little too fast? "

Xun Su looked depressed.

"This really isn't a brother's problem. Beforehand, who would have expected such a thing? I think some of the Luoyang people's statements before are correct. Liu Xuande has a lot of luck in him. It's okay to oppose him. It's going to end well, whoever it is."

Xun Shuang became even more depressed.

"I didn't fight against him before that, but I didn't agree to marry him. Could it be that he wants...I...I always feel that Liu Xuande is holding grudges against me."

"Hate you?"

Xun Su said suspiciously: "Brother, I don't think so. Wen Ruo and Gongda are both working under his command. They are both his cronies, and they are all entrusted with important tasks by him. Especially Gongda, who has entered the Shangshutai, it is reasonable to come Said, Liu Xuande will never bear any grudge against the Xun family no matter what."

"Then why everyone else has been promoted, but I am the only servant?"

Xun Shuang worried: "Although I don't care about these things, everyone else has been promoted, but I have not been promoted. How will this make other people think about this matter?" Calling the members of the Xun clan, but calling Chen Qun, the son of the Chen clan, and Zhong Yaopi, the son of the Zhong clan, into the General's Mansion, and they both agreed!"

"That's true, but brother, if you had listened to me earlier, don't think so much, there are not so many things now."

Xun Su sighed and said, "Gongda also suggested the same at the time, but you didn't listen, you always had too many doubts. I don't think the current situation is a good thing."

When Xun Shuang heard this, he felt extremely irritable.

"What's the use of saying this now? How do I know that the Yuan family and the He family are going to rebel? The dignified general, the dignified Situ, actually recruited foreign soldiers to rebel! Is this kind of stupid thing a normal person can do? It's okay now Oh, they are stupid themselves, and they dragged me to be stupid together! Is this my fault?!"

Hard-spoken, but not so hard-hearted, this is how Xun Shuang feels now.

Xun Shuang has regretted it for a long time.

But he couldn't accept this fact.

Including the fact that he regretted it, he was unwilling to accept it.
