Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 345
The turmoil outside the Taiji Temple earlier did not affect the tranquility of the hall. In order to prevent accidents, the original palace people in the hall were all dispersed. Now, apart from the emperor, there are only servants Zhong Ya and Chu Yi in the hall. before bed.

The emperor was woken up in his sleep, and was taken out of the quilt to change into a crown from a drowsy sleep. Then he was surrounded by Liu Chao, Zhong Ya and others to the front hall.Although he was flustered, but because he had already experienced such a torture, he was no longer as frightened as he was the first time. He just asked in a trembling voice: "Master, has the capital fallen again? This time I called Who is it?"

Hearing this, several people were ashamed and helpless, and finally Liu Chao replied: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, it's not the rebels, it's the master returning to the capital!"

"Master Wang returned to the capital? Who came back? Is my mother here? My elder sister is here? My brother-in-law..."

The emperor was excited when he heard this answer, but the series of questions made it impossible to answer.The inside and outside are in chaos, and they really don't know what the situation outside is.

Although he didn't get the answer he wanted, the emperor was very excited, his increasingly thin face was filled with excitement, and he sat upright on the imperial bed as several people walked into the hall.This time, there were not many old fellows who huddled together with him, but after sitting for a long time, they could only hear the noise from outside rising and falling, and no one entered the hall.The excitement in the emperor's heart gradually subsided, and then sleepiness surged up, and he lay down on the imperial bed and fell asleep again.

The other people in the hall were not as big-hearted as the little emperor, even though Kuang Shu had expressed his surrender, even if Shen Ke came to comfort him, but every commotion outside made them fluctuate, fearing that something bad would happen.

It wasn't until the ministers confronted the Kuangshu tribe outside the hall that the situation seemed to be clear.The three people in the palace stood guard in front of the emperor from the beginning to the end, their loyalty was unquestionable, without too much selfish consideration, especially the right guard general Liu Chao, who was even more loyal to the emperor.Although they had an agreement with Shen Ke earlier, in fact, from the bottom of their hearts, these three people also tend to hope that the ministers can enter the palace to guard the emperor.After all, compared to Kuang Shu, those Taiwan ministers are still much more credible in their eyes.

It wasn't until the atmosphere of the confrontation outside became more and more tense that the three agreed that Liu Chao would mediate in person, hoping to reach a compromise with each other.However, those Taiwanese ministers with different arms even slandered Liu Chao indiscriminately, and Liu Chao was so angry that he walked away directly.

Zhong Ya and Chu Yi, who are left in the palace now, looked at each other speechlessly, filled with grief and indignation.How could those people not know what they were doing? It seemed that there was a surge of enthusiasm and wanted to enter the emperor's presence, but in fact, they had no consideration for the emperor's safety in their hearts. They just hoped to seize an important position!

After the rebellion is put down, it will mean a new round of ordering, especially Yu Liang, the original ruling secretary, has died, and the Yu family is now the target of public criticism. Although Yu Yi supports the empress dowager to establish a platform in Jingkou, everyone knows that , with his seniority and prestige, it is absolutely impossible to take over his brother's original authority.Under such a situation, whoever can seize a favorable position in the counter-insurgency will have a greater right to speak in the future.

The soul-stirring person is only right.The mediocre want to make progress, and the prominent want to be better. Those who can remain calm under such a situation are not exaggerated to be called saints.

In Zhong Ya's mind, he was actually excited that Shen Zhezi led the army back to attack Gyeonggi.On the one hand, he really appreciates this young man, and on the other hand, he does not want the Qingxu Qiaomen headed by Wang Dao to take charge of the situation again, abolishing the efforts of the two previous emperors and even the old Zhongshu Yu Liang to deal with the current situation.Therefore, when the noise outside reached an extreme point, he couldn't help but walk to the door, wanting to come forward and stop those ministers who were getting more and more excessive.

It was also at this time that he witnessed Shen Zhezi entering Taicheng and forcing back a group of officials, and the color of admiration in his eyes became more and more intense.

Chu Yi also walked to the front of the hall and saw this scene, but he had another opinion: "Shen Zhaowu is overbearing, I am afraid it is..."

After Zhong Ya heard the words, she smiled: "Su Zu's deathbed is generous, he has the knowledge of people, and he doesn't treat him like his son-in-law. If he is not as weak as the crown, it is difficult to return to the capital. If he has no edge at all, then he is the real traitor. !"

At this time, Shen Zhezi had already untied his sword, and walked into the hall boldly. When he saw the two servants standing inside the door, he said solemnly: "The last general was ordered to fight against the king, so I rely on the servants to protect the king! I don't know." Where is His Majesty now?"

No matter what they think of Shen Zhezi, seeing that the tense atmosphere outside the hall has dissipated, both of them heaved a sigh of relief, and just as they were about to speak, they heard the emperor in the hall utter a vague cry: "Brother-in-law, yes Are you brother-in-law? You finally came to save me... Am I dreaming..."

Before the words fell, they heard a plop, and several people turned their heads to look, and saw that the emperor who had been sleeping on the imperial bed earlier had rolled down, panicked, and hurried into the hall.

The emperor was really still asleep, and when he heard some voices in a trance, he was ecstatic and shouted in his sleep.After falling down, he woke up, but his eyes were still blurry and unfocused.At this time, Zhong Ya had already rushed up to straighten the crown for the emperor, but the emperor grabbed his arm and tremblingly said: "Servant, are I, am I dreaming? I just heard the voice of my sister, Haiyan Nan, why can't I see you?" To him?"

Shen Zhezi was standing behind Zhong Ya, and when he saw that the emperor had a much thinner face and figure than a few months ago, he knew that this period of time had not been easy.Hearing the emperor's flustered voice, he couldn't help feeling warm in his heart. To be honest, he wasn't too eager for this brother-in-law, but now that the emperor showed his dependence on him, he felt a little ashamed.

"Your Majesty's rescue came late, and His Majesty has been trapped in rebellion for a long time. I am really terrified."

When Zhong Ya backed away, Shen Zhezi went to the imperial bed and knelt down.

The first time he saw Shen Zhezi, the emperor looked dazed and stunned. After a while, tears could not stop pouring out of his eyes, and they burst into tears in an instant.He flew forward, holding Shen Zhezi's wrist tightly with both hands, but he was choked up and unable to speak.

"Your Majesty, Master Wang has returned, and there will be no further disturbance!"

Seeing the little emperor lose his composure in such agitation, the two servants in the hall were also moved, and their eyes were slightly sore.

Shen Zhezi's wrist was aching from the emperor's grip. Although this kid had lost weight, his hand strength was not small. It can be seen that the results of his enthusiasm for churning milk in the early days were still remarkable.Just seeing the tear stains on the face of the very thin little emperor and his body still trembling uncontrollably, one can imagine the panic accumulated in his heart during the past period of time.

Even an adult may not be able to withstand such violent turmoil, let alone this immature young emperor who is in the center of everyone's attention.Shen Zhezi could imagine the trauma this turmoil had caused to the little emperor, and he feared that it would be difficult for him to get out of the shadows for the rest of his life.

With some difficulty, he withdrew his hand, patted the back of the little emperor's cool hand with his backhand, and comforted him in a warm voice: "Your Majesty, the war is over, and I will lead the people to defend the palace, and no one will dare to offend His Majesty again! "

After a long time, the little emperor's sobs stopped slightly, but he still held onto Shen Zhezi's arm tightly, choked up and said, "I, I know... my sister will not lie to me, she will definitely come to save me... brother-in-law, I finally waited for you! Do you know that I always see you in my dreams, but I can’t see you when I open my eyes... I am really scared, afraid that they will kill me with a knife, afraid that I will never see you again... You Wei You always tell me not to lose your dignity, but I, I... I'm really scared!"

Seeing the emperor's trust and reliance on Shen Zhezi, the two servants were not lacking in feelings and even envy, so they all retreated outside the palace to avoid the emperor's loss of attitude.

Without the presence of outsiders, Shen Zhezi no longer cared about the ceremonies of the emperor and ministers. In his eyes, the little emperor in front of him was just a young man who had suffered an indiscriminate disaster. He bent down to pick up the little emperor and helped him back to the imperial bed. Hearing this, he said with a smile: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, since I have returned to the capital, no one will insult you anymore! The fall of Jiankang was too sudden that day, and I had no choice but to keep Your Majesty in the capital for a while. Don't dare to forget!"

"I don't blame you, I don't blame my sister! I, I am the emperor, it's too eye-catching. If my sister insists on saving me, I'm afraid she and the queen mother will be stuck together! If that's the case, I will protect you!" Can't stand them..."

While sobbing, the emperor took out a crumpled piece of cloth from his arms. The blood on it had already dried up and was filthy, but the emperor still held it in his hand like a treasure: "I believe my sister will not lie to me, my brother-in-law really Come save me... brother-in-law, why is your arm hurt?"

It wasn't until the mood calmed down a little that the little emperor discovered the wound on Shen Zhezi's shoulder, and his little face couldn't help but twitched again.

"In battle, it is inevitable that there will be damage."

Being so trusted by others, Shen Zhezi felt good about himself at the moment, even if he waved his hands with pride to show that he was fine.

"It's a pity that I don't have the outstanding talents of my brother-in-law. My sister is right. I can only be trapped in the palace and wait for someone to rescue me..."

The emperor's face was full of depression, and then he looked at Shen Zhezi and said: "Brother-in-law, have sister and queen mother returned? Can I see them right away? I don't want to stay in this palace for a moment, brother-in-law Just take me away!"

"The empress dowager is still on the stage in Jingkou. This time, I am the only one leading the troops. Please rest assured, Your Majesty, take good care of your body and wait for your relatives to return!"

"Is that so..."

The emperor couldn't help being a little disappointed when he heard the words. When he saw Shen Zhezi standing up from the imperial bed, he hurriedly grabbed his armor, with a pleading expression on his face: "Brother-in-law, do you want to go? Can you stay a little longer, I Really, I really..."

At this moment, Zhong Ya hurried in again from outside the hall, bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, Wang Taibao, Lu Pushe and others are leading all the officials outside the hall to wait to be summoned!"

"Brother-in-law, I don't want to see them..."

After the emperor heard the words, there was a bit of embarrassment on his face. He had been terrified for a long time, and finally saw a close and trustworthy person. He really didn't want to see those noisy courtiers again.

After Shen Zhezi pondered for a moment, he walked up to Zhong Ya and said, "Your Majesty has been up all night, he is really exhausted, and needs to rest urgently. The last general knows well what the Taibao and other princes are doing, and there is really no need to bother His Majesty the Emperor. Please, Mr. Zhong Tell you gentlemen to wait for a while, after His Majesty sleeps peacefully, the last general will immediately go to visit you gentlemen and report the military situation."

Zhong Ya also saw the emperor's dependence on Shen Zhezi with her own eyes, and understood that Shen Zhezi did not use the name of the emperor to snub everyone.Moreover, the purpose of those people's visit is well known to each other. It doesn't matter whether the emperor is present or not, and there is really no need to torture the little emperor.So after hearing the words, he nodded and said to Shen Zhezi in a low voice: "Your Majesty has been disturbed quite a lot recently, and it is rare for you to trust Wei Zhou very much. Wei Zhou, please comfort His Majesty first, and I will explain it for you when Wang Taibao is there. Don't be in a hurry."

After that, he hurried out of the hall.
