Chapter 195 Who is right and who is wrong
In just two days it was June 15th. The dynasty and the middle and senior civil and military officials in Beijing were going to pay homage to Jinxiang Hall.
After all the civil and military officials arrived at the hall one after another, Chai Rong, wearing a robe, slowly walked towards the throne above with a huge and slow drum and music. An eunuch stood behind him, and all his followers were behind him. The emperor walked slowly through the hall alone with his head held high, which highlighted his aura of arrogant looking down on the world.
Chai Rong, a martial artist, usually does not pay much attention to etiquette and does things freely and easily. Perhaps he doesn't even understand some etiquette... Because if the civil servants in the court answer most of the etiquettes freely, it would be enough to be promoted immediately. It can be seen that to understand the many etiquette systems since the Zhou Li, even the bureaucrats who specialize in studying classics are not easy to understand.
However, occasionally, Chai Rong still pretends to behave, very particular, such as Dachao. "Dong, Dong, Dong..." Amid the sound of bells and drums, he held the ribbon around his waist in one hand and took steady steps. His steps were as slow as he was playing a play, and he seemed to be enjoying this eye-catching process.
Whenever he walked to a place, the ministers on both sides would kneel on the ground and shout: "Your Majesty has no limits!"
Everyone cooperated with this scene, showing the emperor's dignity and the loyalty of his subjects. After repeated influence, everyone gradually became accustomed to the kind of worship mentality like pyramid schemes.
Chai Rong finally sat on the throne, and the eunuch on the bottom of the throne sang: "If you have something to do, come and play!"
Chai Rong looked down at the bottom with great interest, and everyone faced him respectfully, and everyone did not dare to look up because of the etiquette; on the contrary, the emperor could look down at everyone from a condescending to see him.
While listening to the minister's report, he glanced at several important people. When Guo Shao, who had just married Fu Ermei, Chai Rong suddenly stopped.
Unable to explain why, Chai Rong suddenly felt a little hostile and disliked Guo Shao.
Guo Shao is completely different from Zhao Kuangyin. He is tall, big, strong and upright, and he is less than twenty-one years old. Chai Rong can tell from his standing posture and outline that Guo Shao must be full of muscles and not thick waist... Because Chai Rong is very experienced, when selecting the guards of the front guards of the Session in front of the palace, he specializes in choosing this kind of man with a strong muscle and thin waist (bear waist). There are too many people watching.
The guy is as rough and thick as other generals, but after all, he is young, and his face is completely different from Zhao Kuangyin's black face and skin tone. His facial features are very straight... At first glance, he is not conspicuous, but he seems to be a very ordinary man, but the more he looks at him, the more he looks, the more he feels he is a beautiful man, because his appearance has no obvious defects from appearance to figure, and his symmetricality is unusually handsome... For example, some people have good looks but bad figures, while others have tall figures, but their faces are crooked or too dark, which are all worse.
Chai Rong observed Guo Shao specifically and did think that this guy was good-looking. In the emperor's sharp eyes, he did not treat men like Guo Shao as equals those of the nobles of aristocratic families.
He felt an inexplicable hostility in his heart, and he couldn't tell where this intuition came from... Chai Rong thought quietly and finally tasted it: Love rival! Yes, this feeling is very similar to the feeling of admiring a woman when he was young and then having a competitor.
But this is too funny. Does the emperor have any rivals in love? The harems are selected from the world, regardless of whether anyone likes those women.
Perhaps it was because Guo Shao married his sister-in-law? In Huainan, Guo Shao acted better than Fuhou's husband when he saved Fuhou. These all laid clues of intuition in Chai Rong's heart.
Chai Rong calmed down and thought about the things that were going before and after rationally, but he had no intention of calculating. Because those intuitions were all things that were stolen and had no practical evidence. If he would reward and punish him at will because of his personal senses, he would not get the current achievements, which would be quite unfavorable to his future achievements.
...Guo Shao still didn't say a word in the grand court. He was unwilling to show up at all, but because his position was too high, he had to stand in a high position.
The main thing is that civil servants talk about it, but it is not boring. In fact, they can increase their knowledge and see the thinking of senior bureaucrats from the words and deeds of ministers. Even if the ancients had some limitations in their thinking, these people were a small group at the top of the pyramid, and were elites who brought their wisdom to the extreme within their limitations.
When the court was dispersed, Guo Shao followed a group of colleagues from the Guards' Department to leave Jinxiang Hall as usual.
He first went to the Guard Office with everyone to handle some daily affairs. There was nothing important in the morning, but he still had to stay until noon... Even if he didn't do anything, it was different from not being able to go there. Even if he didn't care about it, he could at least follow everyone. If he was not there at all, everyone would regard you as if he didn't exist and would gradually lose his sense of existence.
However, as soon as noon was over, several senior generals left home for an excuse. According to Guo Shao's experience, except for a few people or two, they would not come to the government office again in the afternoon.
Guo Shao didn't plan to continue to survive and went home early. The newlyweds were still in the honeymoon period. Even if he didn't take a vacation to take a honeymoon, there was no need to work so hard at this time.
After he left the government office, he rode in a carriage, and now he has formed a habit. It seems that there is nothing wrong with riding a carriage. The key is that it is more worry-free. You have to look at the road when riding a horse. It’s okay to take a nap on the carriage.
A boring and boring time is waiting to reach the destination in the shaking and the "gurgling" noise of the wheels. This is a good time to think about, because you can basically find anything except thinking.
Guo Shao recalled the scene in the hall just now, and vaguely felt that the emperor seemed to care about him. At that time, everyone buried his head and did not dare to look up, but his eyes had a blurry range. He could detect many things without staring at him. Guo Shao probably had that sense... This made him a little uneasy. He had no war for half a year and had not made any contributions. Why did the emperor pay attention to himself?
It may also be an illusion that he did something that was sorry to the emperor, and obviously he was a little guilty when facing Chai Rong. Sometimes Guo Shao also felt that he was actually a very sensitive person. As long as he was the one he cared about, a little action could be noticed by his sensitive heart. The heart of an archer could even feel the slight changes in the breeze.
Moreover, Guo Shao believes in his intuition more because his intuition has always been very accurate. He only relies on that intuition to shoot arrows, and there is no reliable basis for hitting the target.
So he was a little restless, but he had no choice. If the emperor really wanted to deal with him, what could he do? There was no room for resistance. Accompanying the king was like accompanying the tiger, and it was not a false statement. Life and death were all in one thought of the autocratic and centralized people. This feeling was really not very wonderful... No wonder people in the world cursed the violent violence in history. If the emperor was not kind, it would really make everyone very nervous.
However, considering what Chai Rong did for more than three years ascended the throne, the emperor was already relatively wise. Many of the concerns were just Guo Shao’s own psychological problems, and he could not have a clear conscience, so no one else could blame him. But Guo Shao asked himself that he had not done anything that was sorry for his conscience, and everything came from the heart and couldn’t help himself.
Some things really cannot be put out to reason... Fu Hou is Chai Rong's wife, Chai Rong is Guo Shao's monarch! He is simply unfaithful and unfilial, and he can blame the emperor for not being able to do so?
Then who should I blame?
"Papapapapa..." A rapid sound woke Guo Shao up to his random thoughts. He picked up a corner of the bamboo curtain and looked out. It was indeed raining heavily.
Two days ago, the old blacksmith Huang, said it would rain heavily, and the prediction was very accurate. Old Huang was old and had rheumatism everywhere on his body. The weather changed, so he felt pain in advance.
The roof of the carriage is felt, so I am not afraid of rain. However, the guards riding horses are about to get wet. Guo Shao lifted the curtain and happened to see Luo Mengzi, so he shouted: "Third brother, tell the team to hurry up, everyone can take shelter from the rain when they get home."
