I rode and slashed unparalleled in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 211 Angel Returns
The next day, although Taiwei Fan Ling was lost and the power of the eunuch party was in decline, the battle between them and the party members still continued in the court.

So did Governor Su deal with Zhang Yan as he said?

How are they doing now?

What's the punishment if it's fake? If it is true, how should the reward be awarded?
Around these problems, the court was in a state of confusion.

In the end, for the first time, the imperial court sent a large number of spies to Bingzhou, Jizhou, Youzhou, and around Heishan. The eunuchs and party members were all dispatched to investigate, just to find out the truth.

However, this time the emperor was no longer as anxious as before. He believed that Lu Zhi was right, and no one dared to joke with his own head.

He was lying among the flowers in the Western Garden, and the old god was there.

On the other side, Su Yao and others also continued to march towards the capital, walked out of the mountains, entered the Shangdang Plain, and headed towards Hanoi.

Time keeps passing.

Finally, after comprehensive information from all parties, the court has completely determined the situation.

The thief Zhang Yan was defeated and disappeared, and Black Mountain was in chaos!
The factions huddled together on the mountain.

The county guards from various places who received the news from the imperial court took the opportunity to regain lost territory and recaptured many key passes, further reducing the space of the Montenegrin Army.

The situation is not a little good, but a great one!

Then, after a long absence, His Majesty's clear laughter came from the main hall of Luoyang North Palace in the morning:
"Su Yao lived up to my expectations and did a great job."

"Hurry up and make a decree for them to return to Beijing quickly!"

"In addition, let the officials along the way do a good job in reception. Don't neglect our heroes!"

hero.

What a hero indeed.

The emperor was very excited.

This kid is so capable!
And not only does it cost him nothing, it also makes him money!

This kind of talent is really rare, and I am afraid that one will not be born in several generations.

Now, Liu Hong appears here.

My great Han Dynasty is about to rise, my great Han Dynasty is about to rise!
Early July, the sun is shining brightly
Su Yao had just climbed over the mountains of Shangdang and entered the Hanoi plain. Before he reached the county town ahead, Su Yao saw the welcoming team of hundreds of people from afar.

According to the report from the previous messenger, those there were Zhu Jun, the governor of Hanoi, Ding Yuan, the governor of Bingzhou, and their officials at all levels, as well as some organized people who came to watch the ceremony.

Watching the ceremony, of course, is the part of delivering the decree.

For this reason, Su Yao and others made a special trip, leaving behind the continuous troops, and rushed here in advance.

"The imperial edict has arrived!"

First, a strong Xiao Huangmen shouted.

Immediately afterwards, a middle-aged man in his early thirties came forward with a staff and an imperial edict:

"A certain person is Zhong Yao, Zhong Yuanchang, the minister of Huangmen, who is here to announce the edict.

He sent the Xiongnu Zhonglang General Wang Rou, the Censor Yuan Shao, the Xiongnu Zhonglang General and his subordinate Su Yao, and others to come quickly to receive the imperial edict. "

Huangmen Shilang.

Although he looks very similar to Xiao Huangmen and seems to be a eunuch at first glance, in fact the two are very different.

Huangmen is called Huangmen because during the Qin and Han Dynasties, palace gates were mostly painted yellow.

The Huangmen Shilang is a Langguan who works within the palace gate. He is a close servant of the emperor. He is used to convey official documents and edicts, and to receive courtiers, kings, etc. "Book of the Later Han·Hundred Officials" says: "Huangmen Shilang, six hundred stones. This note says: no personnel. He is in charge of the attendants on the left and right, and is responsible for the affairs between China and foreign countries. When all the dynasties are seen in the hall, he leads the king to his seat." "

It is completely different from the eunuch's little Huangmen. The Huangmen's servant is an official, and everyone in his position is a son of a good family.

And because he was a close official of the emperor, he was a foreign official who could enter and exit the palace freely, and had access to many court secrets, so his status was very important.

And the Huangmen servant Zhong Yao and Zhong Yuanchang who came to announce the edict this time were naturally very human.

Even Su Yao recognized this name.

This is the father of Zhong Hui, the hero of Cao Wei who destroyed Shu. In normal history, he assisted the Cao family for three generations with outstanding achievements and ranked first among the three princes. He was honored to be in the temple of Cao Cao, Emperor Wu of Wei. He was praised by Cao Cao as being comparable to Xiao He. character of.

At the same time, compared with his achievements in politics, his achievements in calligraphy are more eye-catching.

Due to the calamity of the Later Han Dynasty, Zhong Yao had no way of serving the country since he was a child. He was obsessed with calligraphy and studied this art under Cai Yong and others for thirty years.

His regular script writing style and structure have a strong flavor of official script, and his style is simple and simple. He has been regarded as a model by the past dynasties and is known as the "ancestor of formal script".

He is known as the Four Sages in the book, and he is also called the "Zhong Wang" together with the calligrapher Wang Xizhi.

But now, Zhong Yao, who is nearly forty years old, although his expression is solemn, it can be seen that he is a little nervous.

This is only because he is the Huangmen Minister who has just been transferred from Shang Shulang. This call and introduction is his first task in taking office.

Its importance was self-evident, and he couldn't help but feel nervous.

After all, to him, the real protagonist of this mission, Governor Su Yaosu, was known to everyone in the capital for his unique style.

For this reason, before the trip, the old leader Lu Zhi and others specially told him to get things done well.
However, despite all these worries, he is no longer a young boy and is a calm and determined man.

I saw him holding a scepter in one hand and an imperial edict in the other, saying solemnly:

"Where is Wang Rou, the commander-in-chief of the Xiongnu army? Come quickly to listen to the order."

Wang Rou, who was wearing a general's armor, immediately turned over and dismounted, took a step forward, straightened his expression and said in a military salute:
"Wang listens to the order."

Su Yao was amazed when he saw this scene.

This time, unlike the sudden killing that Su Yao killed last time, and the investigation-focused Xiaohuangmen, this was a formal summons to receive the order.

They had received the notice two days ago and were prepared.

However, looking at it now, this is completely different from the scene in later movies and TV dramas where people often kneel and kowtow.

That's it. In fact, scenes in movies and TV shows where people frequently kneel and kowtow in front of the emperor, showing no human rights, only appeared at the peak of imperial power during the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

During the Qin and Han Dynasties, let alone the ministers kneeling, the emperor even had to stand up for the prime minister. Ministers also had seats during the court ceremony.

However, if the generals and soldiers were wearing military uniforms, they would not even be able to salute. They could only hold weapons and perform military salutes. Zhou Yafu took this as an example when he was running the army.

As early as the end of the Qing Dynasty, Kang Youwei specifically stated this in his "Edict to Avoid Kneeling and Worshiping":
"In the Han system, the emperor rose as prime minister, and in the Jin, Six Dynasties and Tang Dynasties, the emperor and his ministers all sat down." However, in the Song Dynasty, all the ministers stood up, and in the Yuan Dynasty, they knelt, and later generations followed." It can be seen that the ancient etiquette of going to court has gone through the process of sitting to standing and then Change to kneeling.

Therefore, when Fan Ling, who was previously a high-ranking officer, knelt down in tears, the emperor said that he was not in line with etiquette and how could he behave properly.

Of course, this is just institutional
——"Your Majesty's Oral Order"

Before Zhong Yao announced the official edict, the sturdy Xiao Huangmen interrupted with a sullen face:

“As a general who envoys the Huns, you are unable to control the Huns and instead lose troops and territory.

It caused chaos and corruption and merged with the state borders, causing many counties and counties to fall into the hands of barbarians. The people were displaced and the country's prestige was lost. I ask, do you know your guilt? "

Wang Rou, who was originally beaming when he said this, suddenly changed his expression. He never expected that the emperor would bring up the old matter again. He was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and said with a trembling voice:
"I know my guilt."
