Emperor Shuang: The counterattack started from the Gaopingling Incident Chapter 71 He Yan persuades us to enter and have a grand banquet at Tai Chi Hall!
Chapter 71 He Yan persuades us to enter and have a grand banquet at Tai Chi Hall!
Wen and Wu of the Wei Dynasty walked slowly along Tongtuo Street to the Tai Chi Hall of Luoyang Palace. At this moment, the Tai Chi Hall had already been occupied by a group of black-haired and beautiful palace maids who had placed exquisite decorations on dozens of desks.
Food and drinks,
The chamberlains worked in teams of two to carry dozens of beautifully shaped square bronze ice mirrors. Most of the animals carved on the ice mirrors were tigers, leopards, birds and beasts. Only the two ice mirrors around the throne of the emperor were carried up.
The style is unique, after all, it must highlight the majesty of the emperor and the royal nobility.
A total of eight dragon-shaped ears are decorated around the four sides and four corners of the ice mirror. In addition to the eight dragon-shaped ears, there are embossed or embossed cloud patterns all over the body, making the whole thing look exquisite and luxurious. After a while, the main hall was decorated, and the owner of the main hall, Cao Fang, was waiting to welcome Cao Shuang, who returned to the court in victory. All the generals who went on the expedition, the civil and military officials of the court, returned from outside Luoyang City.
The chamberlain who was directing all this nodded to express his satisfaction, and said in a high-pitched voice: "You have done a good job. I will turn back to the Queen Mother. Her Majesty is asking for credit for you. All the people who will come to the banquet later will
Some civil and military officials from the court, Your Majesty, and the general will also be present.
You must serve the ministers well at the banquet, and especially you must not offend the general during the banquet. Your Majesty, you must serve carefully, otherwise if something goes wrong, I will not be able to protect your heads! Especially any request from the general, <
/p>
Everyone has promised that if he takes a fancy to you, it will be your blessing. It is a blessing that others cannot ask for in many lifetimes. Do you understand? After all, although the current Wei Dynasty is the greatest
,
But you also need to know that the current Wei Jiangshan is the general who turned the tide and took it back from the rebellion conspiracy of Sima old thief for Your Majesty to continue to sit firmly. Without the general, the current Wei Jiangshan has the surname Sima, and Soochow has also
Calling!"
The servants in the palace have retreated, leaving only the beautiful maids in the palace. They all saluted and said softly: "I obey my orders!"
Cao Shuang followed the emperor's carriage on horseback and rode his horse slowly towards Luoyang Palace. He Yan whipped his horse and caught up with Cao Shuang.
”
Cao Shuang pulled the reins and slowed down the horse.
"call"
He Yan rode his horse to Cao Shuang's side. Cao Shuang smiled and said, "What's the matter with Uncle Ping?"
He Yan said worriedly: "My subordinates thought that since the defeat of the Sima clan, the general's opponent within the Wei Dynasty has become this young emperor.
A few days ago, Your Majesty asked the Queen Mother to promote Zhen’s father from Liehou to Wanhuhou. It can be seen that Your Majesty has the idea of getting out of your control. You must be on guard. How about the general..."
Cao Shuang understood what he was going to say next, and decisively waved his hand to interrupt what he was going to say next, and said seriously: "Uncle Ping, I know what you are going to say. I have no intention of doing so now, and I must not mention this matter again in the future.
Will always be loyal to Wei Dynasty!"
He Yan had no choice but to hold back his words of support for the time being, waiting for a suitable opportunity in the future to contact more civil and military ministers to mention it again, and said with a smile: "Haha, I wanted to say something very important just now.
,
But I forgot about it all of a sudden. I’ll mention it again when I think of it later. Now let’s go eat the celebration banquet arranged by His Majesty first!”
Cao Shuang said: "Then let's talk about it later when I think about it!"
At this time, Grand Secretary Nong Huanfan, who was following Cao Shuang, also understood He Yan's unspoken intention, and said with a smile: "What the general said is that today, when we are celebrating the general's victory and drinking heavily, why should our consort?"
Whatever happened, just wait until you remember it later and report it to the general!"
Shangshu Ding Mi also rushed up and said, "We'd better go to His Majesty's banquet first. It's not too late to talk about anything else at another time!" Obviously he also understood that it was so "honest and fair" to be in front of so many courtiers today.
It is really inappropriate to discuss and persuade people to move forward.
The three generals Guanqiu Jian, Wen Qin, and Le Fang who followed him became more determined to follow Cao Shuang, the general, after listening to what the three said.
, further thoughts...
The rest of the civil and military ministers in Luoyang were mostly outsiders in the officialdom, following not far behind Cao Shuang, unwilling to get close to the emperor's carriage in front.
As a result, there were only a few ministers beside Cao Fang's carriage. Among them was Zhenwen, the newly appointed Marquis of Ten Thousand Households by the emperor. A discerning person could tell at a glance whether the emperor was more powerful or the powerful ministers were more powerful.
After all, most people in the officialdom are still like the civil and military officials in Luoyang behind Cao Shuang. They fall to whoever is in power to protect themselves, gain promotions, and pursue a career in officialdom.
However, there are only a few ministers with such "character" as Zhen Wen, and they are a relatively rare species. If the powerful minister in the Wei Dynasty at this moment was Sima Yi, they would surely climb up to him without hesitation.
Regardless of whether he is a traitor and traitor who wants to usurp the foundation of the Wei Dynasty, as long as it is best for them, he is a "good guy". After all, they are not the masters of this country.
He was just a "high-level wage earner" at that time. As long as they could pay his salary normally and get promoted step by step, it was enough. It didn't matter whether the person sitting here was the most orthodox emperor. After all, some of them veterans also participated in the Cao Wei Dynasty and the Han Dynasty.
of major events,
Step by step, most people did not want to change dynasties, to most people wanted to change dynasties, and it did not take many years. It is still the same today. If not, why did Qin replace Zhou, and how did Han replace Qin? Everyone is
Coming here the same way...
Everyone entered the palace after the emperor. Cao Fang sat down, looked at the civil and military officials who were still standing in the palace, and said: "Everyone, please take your seats. I and you will have a great time at this banquet today to congratulate the general on his great victory in Jiangbei!"
”
Cao Shuang led the ministers to kneel down and salute and said in unison: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
After that, they took their seats in order of official position, waiting for Cao Fang's order to open the banquet.
Cao Fang raised a cup of wine that was filled by the maid beside him and said: "Now let's have a dinner. Let's raise our glasses and drink together to congratulate the great victory in Jiangbei and the general's wedding!"
Cao Shuang and all the civil and military officials in the palace also raised their titles. They happily drank the wine in one gulp and began to enjoy the exquisite dishes at the banquet. They chatted with each other and exchanged glasses. The palace was filled with the joy of victory. Only
A few people forced themselves to smile, but they were not satisfied with their food...
The banquet ended in the evening. During the banquet, many courtiers proposed toasts to Cao Shuang alone. Cao Shuang did not refuse. They all accepted all comers and did not show any concern for the emperor.
Cao Fang looked at this scene and gritted his teeth with hatred. He thought to himself, it seems that the rumors in Luoyang are not deceiving me. This great Wei Dynasty will become the world of my uncle Cao Shuang!
In order to make Cao Shuang further relax his guard against him, Zhen Wen also forced himself to follow the crowd happily and toasted Cao Shuang with a glass of wine...
