Chapter 328 The Imperial Palace (1)
At dusk, the Pingyuan Palace, riding the last light of the dusk, the waiting people in front of the palace entered one after another. Under the guidance of the servant, they walked all the way to the green walls and gray tiles.
There were fifty or sixty people in total, and the entire lobby was almost unable to be stuffed. Some people just stood without seats, and their eyes swept to the screen from time to time, hoping that the old man would appear soon. Even if there were beautiful maids serving them, they could not relieve their anxious hearts. There was no doubt that they had a common camp, that is, the "Anti-ancestor Sect", and they were all people who were specifically attacked in this court storm.
After Duan Shao's eldest son and second son came out to deal with it, he hurried to the back house to invite his father. At this time, Duan Shao was fishing by the small pond at home. When he saw his sons coming, he pinched them with his eyelids and sighed helplessly: "It seems that they can't wait. Humph, everything depends on me. At this age, I have to make trouble in the wind and rain. Sooner or later I will throw my life away... " He put away the fishing rod and threw the fish he had finally caught back to the pond. "Since they want to see me, then go and see me..."
"Father," Duan Deshen hesitated for a moment and said, "They must have wanted to ask his father to come forward and ask His Majesty to take back his feelings and deal with the ancestors. Look, Your Majesty is probably making a decision, and his father must not go to this muddy water."
"If I don't go, who will go? Those people are brainless people. They have the ability to make money, but the others are useless." Duan Shao said leisurely with his wide sleeves. Perhaps he is really old and has not sunlight. In this July when the fire is rising, he actually feels cold, as if the wind is leaking all over his body. He sighs again and explains:
"Silly people always want to do something hopeless. I am used to being their masters. At this time, God knows what they will do. Anyway... it's the same as before, I'm carrying them for them and wiping their butts. It's okay, I'm used to doing..."
"But, father..."
"Don't let it go, why don't you follow me?" Duan Shao kicked him and went straight to the lobby. The night gradually climbed up. Everyone waited for a while, and the tea had changed twice. Dazai was still in his future, so he couldn't help but feel anxious. The fragmented and quiet discussion spread quietly, until the two maids stepped forward and moved the screen behind them away, and then calmed down a little.
Duan Shao is actually in a semi-retired state, basically just to raise his body at home. It is really not easy to hold on to the sick body until now. Therefore, in the past two years, everyone has rarely seen him. Duan Shao appears in front of them again. They all stood up and bowed, very happy. Duan Shao nodded slightly and then stepped onto the topic:
"I basically know what you want to say. You are basically the one who wants to come to me. I really don't know what to say. You can think of baking me on a fire rack... OK, then, what should you do?"
The atmosphere was quiet for a moment, and a crowd came out and bowed, "Grandmaster, please make the decision for us. Zu Yi, he is going to uproot the six towns! Why are we? They forced us to wait for many times, bullying people too much! But... we can't even speak in front of His Majesty. Only you can fight for us!"
"Please save us. Great kindness and virtue will never be forgotten!" He bowed and bowed deeply. Then everyone stood up and bowed towards Duan Shao.
He directly defeated Duan Shao and his army.
Duan Deshen had a blue face and said nothing. Duan Shao laughed and said, "Zu Yi is a civil servant, you are military officers. My dynasty is now separated from civil servants, and he can't control you. Now his holy family is high, you can't get along with him. Be patient, what about Yang Yan back then? What about Song Qindao? What about Cui Xian? Are they not more fierce than Zu Yi, and aren't more cruel than Zu Yi? But what about their consequences?"
"Things may not have come to this point. Don't think too much, just wait patiently."
Yang Yan, Song Qindao, and Cui Xian were all famous Han officials back then. They vigorously promoted sinicization and cracked down on corruption and achieved considerable political achievements. At that time, the entire Eastern Wei regarded them as the hope and pillars of the country, but their fate was tragic. Song Qindao and Yang Dao were killed together, Cui Xian was exiled to Macheng to serve hard labor, and in the end, the honorary ministers in the six towns won the victory.
Duan Shao’s implication was to comfort them. Maybe the emperor just used Zu Yi and threw him away like a rag after using it? Of course, this kind of comfort is just a comfort. It is not a guarantee and has no practical significance.
Everyone looked at each other and said, "He can't control us, but he can directly break the roots of our six towns and honor sects! Grand Governor, if you don't care about me, we will really have no way out. We can only... only..." They dare not say the second half of the sentence.
Duan Shao's eyes narrowed, and a murderous intent quietly overflowed, and he smiled and said, "What can I do? Rebel? Rush into the palace to kill the lord and then change to another emperor?" After a while, Duan Shao slapped the table with a palm, and all the fruits and pastries in the plate were overturned, "...You are simply bold and unscrupulous! You don't look at yourself, are you the ingredients?!"
Duan Shao was almost so angry that he was laughing. These idiots were so stupid!
The Jinyang army had long been under the control of the emperor. Huluguang, Gao Baoning, Gao Changgong, Qi Lianmeng, Xianyu Shirong, Pi Jinghe, Wei Xianggui, Wei Xiangyuan... These frontier generals who control real power all bowed to the emperor.
In Jinyang, Wang Lin, Fu Fu, Gao Yanzong, and Murong Yan have already held the military power firmly in their hands. The great nobles of the six Xianbei towns have moved closer to the emperor. The upstarts in the army cultivated by the emperor have also risen, and they are all from the emperor's inside to outside. These guys are still wondering if they can rebel?
It's even stupider than a pig!!
"The Grand Governor misunderstood! We are definitely not meant to do so, we don't have the courage."
Duan Shaozhen was angry, and his blood was rushing to anger, and the blood vessels on his forehead burst out.
He gasped, finally calmed down and said, "I will go to the palace to see Your Majesty immediately..."
So everyone showed joy again. Unexpectedly, Duan Shao suddenly pointed at them with one hand and said with gritted teeth:
"But you guys, get out of here now!"
...
...
"Father, do you really want to enter the palace to meet the holy person now?"
In front of Duan Mansion, the carriage was ready. Duan Shao ignored Duan Deshen's dissuasion and got on the carriage. "Who will go if I don't go? Now I am the only one who can save these idiots. They are my old subordinates. I can't watch them die..." Duan Shao recalled the scene just now, and was angry and sad. Looking at the completely blackened sky, he said:
"How come the old brothers who were born and die together back then became like this?"
This sigh seemed to float in the gentle night wind.
Duan Deshen saw tears in his father's eyes. Suddenly, a candle flower fell on his clothes. Duan Deshen was silent. In his impression, his father had never been like this and was so powerless.
My father is really feeling cold.
...
...
The Tai Chi Hall was still brightly lit, and behind the sky-blue curtain, the emperor reviewed memorials one by one. The number of memorials Gao Wei reviewed every day was calculated by car, but there were even fewer things today.
When he learned that Duan Shao was asking for a meeting at the palace gate, he was obviously surprised.
Although he had known that those people had gone to find Duan Shao, he still did not expect Duan Shao to visit at this time. At this time... Gao Wei looked at the sky, and he was about to go to bed at this time.
However, with Duan Shao's status, since he had come, Gao Wei couldn't turn him out, so he had to order someone to welcome Duan Shao in. Before Duan Shao entered the hall, he saw the emperor smiling from the dragon couch and coming out to greet him. Duan Shao was so shocked that he quickly bowed: "Your Majesty has killed the old minister, and the old minister cannot be treated as such a courtesy!"
Gao Wei reached out to help him up and smiled and said, "On the public, you are a pillar of the court and a veteran of the Six Dynasties. You deserve this respect. On the private side, you are my elders. Is there anything wrong with me coming out to greet my elders?"
