Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 346

As Shen Zhezi entered the front hall of Taiji, the turmoil in Taicheng gradually subsided. After the hundreds of so-called master masters took over the guards of the front hall of Taiji, Kuang Shu also handed over the command of his own troops to Shen Zhezi. The general took over, merged with the Lu Yong tribe who had surrendered earlier, and began to deploy a tight defense around the entire Taicheng.

Not long after the Taichens retreated, they made a new move. This time, they no longer swarmed up. Instead, Wang Dao, Lu Ye and others led the officials above Jiuqing who were still in Taicheng to walk slowly to the Taiji Hall. Before, waiting for His Majesty the Emperor to summon.

Although the number of these new ministers is small, only a dozen or so, each one is extraordinary, and there is a huge relationship and interest entanglement behind it.

It is true that these people are respected and famous, but they also cannot get any preferential treatment in front of the Longxi soldiers who have been running the Shen family for several generations.When they came to the front of the Taiji Front Hall, they were quickly surrounded by more than [-] Longxi soldiers led by Xu Su, and they were not allowed to go any further!
"Presumptuous! Wang Taibao and Lu Pushe are both important to assist the country. Although you are the king's teacher, you can't stop the virtuous from facing the king!"

One person from the team came out and shouted loudly at the surrounding soldiers, it was Kong Yu, the attendant Kuaiji.

Xu Su stepped forward and said neither humble nor overbearing: "It is difficult for a humble warrior to recognize a wise man. With military orders in hand, he dare not disobey!" He did not intend to retreat.

Hearing these words, everyone's expressions changed, and even a trace of surprise flashed across their faces, as if they didn't expect that a mere soldier in this area would dare to be so contemptuous and even ignore their identities!

Even when Su Jun's rebellious army took control of the city, they were treated with courtesy and preferential treatment, and no rebel army dared to persecute them.Like Kong Yu, who yelled at the soldiers of Longxi, on the day of the fall of the city, he was wearing a court uniform to guard the ancestral temple alone, and none of the rebels dared to step forward to offend him.But now that Master Wang has returned, they are unexpectedly trapped here by a group of soldiers and cannot move!
When the Taiwanese ministers confronted the Kuangshu Institute earlier, most of these people were not present.But now that Master Wang has really arrived in Taicheng, Yu Li and Fa should all accompany the king, so not all of the dozen or so people who came here now have ulterior motives and want to share things. A person with power of merit.For example, Liu Chao, who made arrangements for his family to go back and forth, and some of them from Kuaiji.

Xu Su naturally didn't care about how these people felt. The order he received was not to allow anyone to approach the front hall of Tai Chi. As for other things, it was not something he should consider.

The scene became a little awkward for a while, and even the usually good-tempered Director Wang and Lu Ye turned gloomy.This is simply a blatant disregard for their reputation, and even a blatant disregard for the authority given to them by the imperial court!
At this time, in addition to the Longxi soldiers stationed in the front hall of Taiji, there are also those aristocratic families who followed Shen Zhezi earlier.Because of the lack of manpower, those who followed Xu Mao earlier were all wounded and received medical treatment, so they could only temporarily serve as guards.The Longxi pawns who were not accepted by those important ministers had no choice but to turn their gazes to a few familiar children from aristocratic families.

Sensing the unfriendly gazes of the elders of the courtiers, the sons of the aristocratic families didn't feel well, and they all lowered their heads not daring to look at each other.Among them, the most anxious one is undoubtedly Kuaiji Kong Hun. His father Shangshu Zuo Cheng Kong Tan is in the queue, and Kong Yu who spoke earlier is his uncle. Feeling uncomfortable all over.

Although his heart was anxious, Kong Hun did not leave his post to speak out for the elders, but he just lowered his head to avoid the resentful eyes, not daring to look.From the bottom of his heart, he certainly didn't want to sit back and watch his elders be trapped here and suffer humiliation, but now he is also a member of the Wang Shi, and he is also subject to military orders.In particular, Shen Zhezi never treated others differently because of his background in the army. Even if he dared to blatantly ignore military orders, even if he was not punished by military law, he would be kicked out of the army.

For these aristocratic families, they have their own channels to become officials, and joining the army is by no means the only way out. If it is another time, being deprived of their military positions will be fine.But now, they are the only Wang Shi who have successfully invaded Gyeonggi and are responsible for recovering Jiankang!What's more, with hundreds of people in the area, accomplishing such an astonishing feat, it would be really stupid to be kicked out of the army for disobeying the military order at the moment of success!
Although he didn't dare to look up, Kong Hun could feel that the elders were looking at him more and more badly, and he couldn't help but struggle in his heart, even Chi Ge's palms were sweating.

It's just that amidst the fear, Kong Hun gradually felt a bit of dissatisfaction in his heart. It is true that the elders have the duty to enter the palace, but why doesn't he have a mission?He is not a child with a long hair and an object in his arms, and he has followed his son-in-law to create such a great cause. The elders force him to give up his principles from their perspective, which is really unreasonable!

What assists the country?What country is it supplemented by?If the real names and facts are available, and the government is well-organized and the people are harmonious, Jiangdong and even the world will be in the current state of rebellion and wars!In the end, it's not up to them, a group of daring young people, to rush thousands of miles and drive straight in to wipe out the rebellion and clean up the situation!
Now that Taicheng has been recovered, do they remember that they are the key to assisting the country?

With this thought in mind, the uneasiness and guilt in Kong Hun's heart gradually subsided, replaced by dissatisfaction and even grief!The great achievements they have made now are not because of the noble family background, not because of the support of the elders, but because of their painstaking efforts, fighting and fighting with their lives!Worthy of the elders, worthy of the world!

Thinking of this, Kong Hun raised his head slowly but firmly, no longer shying away from the eyes of his elders with guilt.The elders had their persistence and consideration, so why didn't he?Moreover, the achievements created by his persistence are not inferior to the glory brought by his family background!
When Kong Hun raised his head, out of the corner of his eye, he saw that his fellow robes who were in the same situation as him were also holding their heads high and their chests high, with a majestic momentum.They looked at each other, and then smiled knowingly.The general once said that in the future, they would praise Jiangdong and underestimate their peers. Now they have such qualifications!
This exchange of eye contact was silent, but the changes in the demeanor and even the momentum of those disciples fell into the eyes of the ministers in the arena.Most of the people who can come here are not mediocre. Even if they don't know what these young people think in their hearts, they can probably figure out a lot of things from this change.

Seeing his son's initial struggle and hesitation, Kong Tan in Kuaiji felt very uncomfortable. His family was originally a descendant of Confucius, and he attached more importance to loyalty, righteousness and filial piety than other families.It is unbearable for a son to see his father being humiliated and not come forward to speak out for his father!

But seeing the firm and confident light on his son's face now, he felt a little confused in his heart. The vigor and pride shown by his son is what a father hopes to see.But he felt a little uncomfortable after all, probably because the son he taught by ear to ear in the past made him feel a little strange.But in fact, if you ask yourself, the vast old tree is more pleased to see the young shoots sprouting from the roots.

The others did not have direct descendants present, so their feelings may not be as complicated and profound as those of Kong Tan, but the demeanor shown by those young people, the aura of underestimating authority, not only made them feel offended, but also felt ashamed feeling.

Director Wang stood in front of the queue, his eyes slightly closed, and a trace of bitterness lingered on his face, which had suddenly become more wrinkled due to the pain of losing his son.When his younger brother Wang Bin was expelled back, he already understood that the little bit of power he had managed to accumulate during his time in Taicheng was mercilessly taken away by that junior!Just like the Empress Dowager and King Langya were sent out of Jiankang one after another earlier, just like Kuang Shu took the lead to control the emperor.

There was more than one blow. Yuan Dan, who he had sent to Fuzhoushan to persuade the Yuzhou Army to surrender, hurried back, saying that the battle was going on in the direction of Fuzhoushan, and he didn't dare to go near it.In other words, if it was not Wang Shu or Xi Jian who attacked the direction of Fuzhoushan, then Wang Dao would be completely alone and helpless in today's Taichung, without any power in his hands!

Even though he was under heavy surveillance, even if he suffered the pain of bereavement, Director Wang never felt such a deep sense of powerlessness.

Since the trip to the south, compared to the calm and peaceful appearance on the surface, Wang Dao has always been tense in his heart. He knows that Jiangdong is the last retreat for Jin Zuo now, and he also knows that it is not easy for people from the north to rule Jiangdong. easy.He is not as sharp-edged as his clan brother Wang Dun, and he is not as severe and harsh as his clan brother Wang Shu. To ensure the stability of Jiangdong and maintain the prosperity of the family is the starting point of all his actions.

He knew in his heart that Yu Liang's actions were inappropriate, but because of the aftermath of Wang Dun's rebellion, for the sake of the family and the stability of the current situation, he could not confront Yu Liang tit for tat.If he did that, before Su Jun rebelled, I'm afraid the court would be in chaos first.Therefore, he spends more energy on how to clean up the military chaos, make Xi Jian a good friend, and ask Wang Shu to go out of the capital. He is willing to stay in Taicheng, guarding before the emperor, and doing things for Japan to suppress rebellion and maintain stability. bedding.

These things had been filtered through his mind thousands of times, but when the real thing came to an end, accidents happened one after another.The Empress Dowager and King Langya left the capital one after another, causing Jiangdong to have the potential threat of splitting.Yu Liang's death, Jingkou went to Taiwan, Kuaiji was divided into states, and Wu people formed an army. All these accidents happened one after another, which made people feel overwhelmed. Even Director Wang gradually lost the confidence to adapt to changes without change.

Behind these things, almost every one has Wu Xing and Shen's family, or directly Shen Zhezi's figure, playing a greater or lesser role in it.If he speculates with malice, Director Wang even suspects that Yu Liang's death may have something to do with the Shen family!

But with Shen Zhezi's attack on Taicheng, this suspicion was meaningless.If the Shen family took action to get rid of Yu Liang, then it would be in the best interest of his family and even the people of Wu to take advantage of the Su Jun rebellion and take the Empress Dowager and King Langya directly to Wuzhong in order to split Jiangdong. Instead of rushing to regain Gyeonggi.

Regarding Shen Zhezi, although Director Wang didn't have much contact with him, his views were always changing.This young man has stepped into the current situation, he has a lot of appreciation for it, and thinks he can sit down and discuss it with his son.In his opinion, this was already an extremely high evaluation, but Director Wang was amazed when the young man became the emperor's son-in-law.As for now, he has gradually lost the feeling that he can't see through this young man.

From the perspective of others, Director Wang's presence here now means that he is still determined to divide power and work, but Director Wang knows in his heart that at least for now, he has no strength to fight against that young man.He just wanted to get closer to see clearly whether this young man was planning to cause chaos in Jiangdong, or whether he wanted to stabilize the situation.
