The next day, when Jian Shuo woke up, he felt a splitting headache. He sat on the bed and stared blankly at the wall. It took him a while to wake up. He let out a heavy breath, and Jian Shuo jumped up from the bed.
, put on the armor with bare feet.
Drinking is not allowed in the army, but he is the most senior person in the Xiyuan Army. Even if others want to, they can't control him. But this is the limit. If he could, he would definitely go to Chen Cheng's room.
A few stunning beauties are stuffed inside. Although the method of sending money and women is old-fashioned, it has always been useful.
Hearing the noise inside, the soldier who was resting outside quickly got up and came over to help him put on his armor.
Jian Shuo opened his arms and said, "Is Marquis Chen Jun up now?"
The soldier said: "We are already practicing martial arts on the school grounds."
Jian Shuo looked at the sun outside and said subconsciously: "So early?"
On the school field, Chen Cheng put on the uniform of the Han army and rode Gulu at a trot. Gulu ran for a while, became excited, and took bigger and bigger steps, from a small step to a gallop. Chen Cheng didn't care about it.
, let it run freely. Although the school grounds are large, they are still much smaller than the grasslands in western Liaoning.
When he was in Guanzi City, unless it was raining, he would take Gulu out for a dip every day. At that time, he would run faster.
After Jian Shuo finished washing, he came to the school grounds. Looking at Chen Cheng's heroic figure on horseback, he once again thought over yesterday's impromptu plan. He squinted his eyes and thought about it again, feeling that with Chen Cheng's skills, it must be foolproof. Although it was a little bit
It's a pity, but the situation is urgent now, and even parents and brothers don't have to worry about it so much.
Chen Cheng rode his horse around the school grounds for more than half an hour, and finally reined in the horse. He jumped off the horse, walked to Jian Shuo, and said, "I have seen the marshal."
Theoretically speaking, there is no difference between his current official position and his position in western Liaoning. He does not have the troops and horses under his command yet. Even if they are fully equipped, they will not be as much as he did in western Liaoning. But the captain in the border area can
Is it comparable to the military princes in the Central Forbidden Army?
Jian Shuo laughed and said, "You and I will go to Deyang Palace later."
The imperial city in Luoyang City is divided into two palaces, the north and the south. Deyang Palace is the main palace of the south palace. It is the place where the emperor works and lives. Currently, Jian Shuo leads the troops to guard it. Chen Cheng knew nothing about the layout of the palace in this era. He knew nothing about the palace.
The only thing I know about the "Taihe Hall" in the Qing Dynasty is that I learned about it from Li Fugui.
What do ordinary people do when they have nothing to do to inquire about the palace? Do they want to imitate Liang Tiedu?
So, he just nodded, and Baishi knew it. When Jian Shuo saw him acting as if nothing happened, he felt that this person was full of anger.
After a hurried meal, Jian Shuo tidied up his appearance and headed towards Nangong with dozens of people. Chen Cheng was also in the queue. He first entered the city from Guangyang Gate on horseback, then dismounted and entered the palace on foot, passing through many palaces and piers.
After walking for a long time, we arrived at Deyang Hall.
The Deyang Hall is one foot high and more than three feet high. It is very majestic and can accommodate 20,000 people at the same time. The hall is surrounded by a pool of water, with jade steps and red beams. The altar is made of patterned stone, and the walls are decorated with colorful paintings and gold pillars.
It is engraved with the image of a beautiful woman. One foot is more than three meters, and four feet is more than sixteen meters. When people stand in front of His Majesty, facing the majestic Deyang Palace, they will naturally feel ashamed.
In the early years of the Han Dynasty, Prime Minister Xiao He once said: Only when the palace is majestic can it intimidate people from afar. Emperor Gaozu thought it was good.
Arriving in front of Deyang Palace, Chen Cheng didn't feel anything. Jian Shuo and all the officers of the Xiyuan Army became solemn, and they didn't dare to show off their dignity.
"You and the others will guard here," Jian Shuo whispered, "Someone will come to replace you in the evening."
Chen Cheng nodded, indicating that he understood. Jian Shuo was still a little worried and whispered: "Be careful, be careful of any indecency in front of the palace. Your Majesty is in the Deyang Palace. If someone gets caught, I can't save you."
"
Needless to say, Chen Cheng also knew to be more cautious. Looking at the colleagues beside him, they were all holding their breath, afraid of making the slightest mistake.
Jian Shuo ordered Chen Cheng again and again, then straightened his appearance again, and then climbed up the stairs.
In the Deyang Hall, a man in black casual clothes was holding a child and talking about something, and there was a woman in costume standing next to him.
Jian Shuo slowed down his steps, knelt down from a distance, and said, "I, Jian Shuo, pay my respects to Your Majesty."
It turned out that this man in his thirties was the current emperor Liu Hong. His face was pale, his steps were sloppy, and he looked very weak. Seeing Jian Shuo come in, Liu Hong asked the maid to take Liu Xie back to the Empress Dowager. He walked forward.
After a few steps, Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong quickly followed.
Liu Hong coughed and said softly: "Get up and talk."
Jian Shuo stood up, lowered his head, hung his hands in front of him, and said respectfully: "The general said that Bao Hong embezzled military pay, which is an unforgivable crime. But since he has considerable military merit, he can just win the title."
Liu Hong coughed twice more and gasped: "What did Bao Hong say?"
Jian Shuo lowered his head and said, "He said he was willing to pay for his sins."
Liu Hongdao: "Then...ahem...just..."
Zhang Rang quickly held Liu Hong's arm, and after the emperor had recovered from his cough, he said: "Your Majesty, I think Bao Hong should be executed!"
Zhao Zhong also took the opportunity to say: "Bao Hong is a lieutenant of the Xiyuan Army, but he has a good relationship with the general. I heard that he has contacts with many generals of the Northern Army. Even if he is not executed, he should be deprived of his military position."
"Ahem," Liu Hong coughed again, then nodded and said, "Just do what you two said."
Zhang Rang turned to Jian Shuo and said, "Did you hear that? Your Majesty has an order to kill Bao Hong immediately!"
Jian Shuo raised his head and said expressionlessly: "Yes!"
If Bao Hong killed him, he would just kill him. It was no big deal. Even if Zhang Rang blatantly tampered with the emperor's wishes, he didn't bother to pay attention to it. However, the emperor's condition recurred again, which made him palpitate. He said respectfully:
"I went outside the city yesterday and found Doctor Ge, and wanted to invite him into the palace to treat His Majesty."
Liu Hong smiled bitterly and said, "Where in my body can I still see well?"
Jian Shuo said: "Maybe it will work wonders, it's always right to try it."
Zhang Rang raised his eyebrows and shouted: "How can a country doctor compare to the royal doctor in the palace? Don't try to cure your majesty!"
He turned around and said warmly: "Your Majesty, are you tired? I will help you go to the couch to rest for a while."
Jian Shuo said quickly: "I have one more thing..."
Zhao Zhong said fiercely: "Is there anything more important than His Majesty's dragon body? Just take care of the little things yourself, and don't disturb His Majesty's rest!"
Jian Shuo stood there, watching blankly as Zhang let Zhao Zhong help the emperor to go to the harem. After standing for a while, he suddenly woke up and thought to himself: How dare I handle this matter by myself? I can't handle it.
They want to kill everyone!
He waited in the main hall for a long time, and finally when Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong came out, he hurriedly greeted them and said: "I found a sharpshooter yesterday who can fire a ten-stone bow. If he can trick him into entering the palace.
....."
Zhang Rang immediately shouted in a low voice: "Stop!"
He looked around and saw that the palace attendants Huang Men around him were all looking down at their toes, looking cautious, and then he said: "Follow me."
After finding a secret room, the three of them sat down across from each other, and Jian Shuo poured out his thoughts.
Zhao Zhong clapped his hands and said with a smile: "This is a good idea. Let Chen Cheng shoot He Jin first, and then we push him out to calm the public's anger. This way we can't be blamed."
Jian Shuo said: "I'm afraid His Majesty won't agree, so you two have to get His Majesty's instructions."
Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong looked at each other and laughed. The folds on his face trembled, and he said sullenly: "Just do it, our Majesty, don't you know it yet? Even if he gets angry afterwards,
As long as we bow our heads and admit our mistakes and cry a few times, the matter will be over."
Zhao Zhong also said proudly: "The emperor calls me his mother. Even if he is angry, he will not punish us. At most, he will fine us a year's salary. What does that little money mean?"
Zhang Rang said: "This is Chen Cheng. How unreliable is he? Don't fight the tiger and not die, but be eaten by the tiger instead."
Jian Shuo said: "I tested his martial arts yesterday. His martial arts is indeed extraordinary. He can shoot that sunset bow more than ten times!"
Zhang Rang touched his bare chin and said, "I still have to see it with my own eyes."
Jian Shuo said: "He is outside Deyang Hall. I will go and ask him to come in."
Zhao Zhong said: "There is no rush. We will wait until His Majesty wakes up. Then we will summon him to the palace in the name of performing martial arts in front of the emperor."
Jian Shuo hesitated for a while and asked, "How is your Majesty's condition?"
When talking about this issue, both Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong's faces became a little ugly. Zhang Rang sighed and said leisurely: "Your Majesty's condition is getting worse and worse. He sweats every night and often wakes up from his dreams.
I’m afraid I won’t live for more than a few months.”
Jian Shuo was shocked and said angrily: "Then you still won't let the doctor I hired treat His Majesty?"
"What do you know?" Zhang Rang sneered and said, "His Majesty's condition must not be spread to the outside world. If the news leaks out, will you think that He Jin, the pig butcher, dare not kill people?"
Zhao Zhong advised: "Jian Shuo, you don't need to be angry. His Majesty's illness cannot be cured by doctors and medicine. Now it's just a day to delay."
The three of them discussed in the secret room for a long time. Zhao Zhong said: "I will go back to the house to find Guo Sheng first. Duan Gui and the others can breathe. You guys can watch His Majesty here."
After coming out of the secret room, they went their separate ways. Jian Shuo and Zhang Rang were guarding the emperor. Zhao Zhong came out of the palace and looked at the soldiers guarding outside Deyang Palace. He saw that one of them was eight feet tall and was born Chen Hong.
He has white teeth and an extraordinary appearance. He thought to himself: He really looks outstanding, but I don’t know if he can shoot well.
Chen Cheng stood outside the hall for more than an hour, and the halberd in his hand became hot. He was slowing down his breathing and letting his whole body relax when he suddenly felt that someone was peeping, so he followed the feeling and looked over.
.In front of his eyes, an old face full of wrinkles was looking at him. When he noticed it, the face smiled, like a chrysanthemum that was about to wither.
Zhao Zhong showed what he thought was a kind smile towards Chen Cheng, which made the latter feel confused.
Chen Cheng looked at Zhao Zhong and thought to himself: Ma De, who is this damn eunuch? He smiles so shabbily!
