Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 47
After the court meeting, the emperor left the court hall in a happy mood, ready to return to the garden.

The problem that had lingered in my heart for many days was finally resolved because of the change of attitude of my brother-in-law Yu Liang, and General Pingnan Ying Zhan was able to serve as the governor of Jiangzhou.In this way, the situation suddenly became clear.

Jiangzhou has been brought under control, and Jingzhen cannot support itself. The next step is to solve the Jingzhou problem.Perhaps the resistance to this matter is still not small, but the emperor still has a bargaining chip in his hand, that is, the imprisonment of Wang Dun's followers.

Wang Dun's rebellion, if you really go deep into it, it will involve a lot.Even the emperor did not dare to arbitrarily expand the scope of attack, causing everyone in the ruling and opposition parties to doubt themselves.The reason why he took a tough attitude and persisted in the imprisonment was that his real intention was still in Jingzhou, in exchange for the support of the courtiers in exchange for the lifting of the imprisonment, and to remove the obstacles to the removal of Jingzhen.

If all the important towns in Jingjiang can be restored, the emperor will have no worries in his heart, and he can expand his ambitions, give both kindness and power, choose good support, and disintegrate. In a few years, the misfortune of the gentry will no longer exist!
Thinking of this, the emperor's heart surged, and he couldn't help but sing loudly, and the reason in his heart reminded him not to get carried away.The aristocratic families are intertwined with each other, and it is very difficult to tangle with each other. Although he has already sorted out a thread, he still needs to unravel the cocoon, slowly figure it out, and be careful every step of the way, lest the whole world collapse if he is careless.

If there is still a fluke in the success of destroying Wang Dun, it is thanks to the soldiers of the refugees in Jiangbei.So this time around Jiangzhou's game, not only let the emperor appreciate the entanglement and intertwining of the aristocratic families, which is difficult to break through, but also insight into the weaknesses of these gentry, which looks like a net, but is actually sparse.

Having said that, the reason why the emperor had a magical touch this time, using Yu Liang as the point of breaking the situation, was mainly due to Wu Xingshen's way of self-survival in this turmoil.

For Shen Chong, the emperor did not like it.The last time Wang Dun was in chaos, if it wasn't for the response of this mob, which caused chaos in the three Wu countries, caused turmoil in the heart, and involved a lot of power in the court, it would have been impossible for Wang Dun to go straight to Jiankang so easily and threaten the ban.Therefore, in the emperor's mind, he wished he could cut Shen Chongzhi away!
But on the other hand, he also knew that although the Wu Xingshen family had no clear hope, it was deeply rooted in the land of Wu and connected to the village.Before the great enemy Wang Dun is wiped out, he must not show his killing intent.Therefore, the emperor did not hesitate to take the position of Sangong, but only wanted to stabilize Shen Chong, and then concentrated all his efforts to defeat Wang Dun.

However, Shen Chong sealed the talisman and was not subject to coercion.The emperor was furious, and prepared for the worst. Fortunately, there were volunteers in all the three Wu lands, so that the emperor would not be confused.
However, what happened next in Wudi made the emperor feel dazzled. First, Yu Yi entered the camp and forced to land in Shenchong to resolve the military disaster in the east.

Being able to relieve the pressure in Wuzhong, the emperor was very happy. The only thing he was not angry about was that Shen Chong ignored the high position of the three princes and fell under Yu Yi alone.But in any case, this is a good change for the precarious situation.But until Taicheng played right, Yu Yi showed his eagerness to protect Shen Chong, which made the emperor's warning sign rise sharply, and he realized the hidden danger.

At this time, the greatest military crisis has been resolved, and the court has got rid of the passive situation. It is no longer a serious problem to look back at Wu Xing and Shen.

Especially in the previous military incident, the emperor saw that the soldiers of Jiangbei refugees were available. No matter how he manipulated Wu Xing and the Shen family, the emperor had great confidence in his heart. , should be cut off.Therefore, he tacitly allowed King Nanton to show his favor to Shen.Although the Shen family is not inferior, if it is used properly, it will be a good move no matter if it controls the Wu land or checks and balances the new Jin Fangzhen.

However, Shen's reaction later exceeded the emperor's expectations. He recommended Ji Zhan to come forward, and quickly became one with Nan Shi, and there was no way to catch him.

In the current situation, no matter who is limited to the position or status, there is no such detached and comprehensive vision of the emperor.Looking at Shen's performance in the turmoil, he reacted sensitively, responded wonderfully, tried left and right, and borrowed strength from all sides.In such a chaotic and difficult situation, all schools of thought are silent, and one family is the only one!

Although he didn't have a good impression of the Shen family, the emperor also summed up some experiences after observing his whereabouts.Don't stick to established laws, don't make peace with the family, stick to your own strong and powerful advantages as the foundation of your foothold, move in response to the trend, follow the trend, and become a winner.

This touched the emperor a lot. The Shen family is just a local tycoon, but they can take advantage of the chaos and become popular, and he is the emperor, and the righteousness of the rule of law lies in it. How could he not have a good plan to break the situation!The reason why the current situation is so difficult is that he was used to confronting head-on before, and ignored the roundabout attack.

So this time he no longer directly confronted the Qingxu Qiaomen headed by the disintegrating Wang family, but pulled back his brother-in-law Yu Liang who was quite inclined to set up another mountain, and used the power of the Yuzhou Qiaomen to push his candidate to the list of governors of Jiangzhou. bit, open the situation.

When he was feeling happy, the emperor saw King Nandun standing beside the royal road with his hands tied, wearing a green single robe and no crown, with a respectful expression.Seeing the emperor coming on a chariot, he fell far on the road.

Seeing the appearance of King Nanton, the emperor couldn't help feeling angry. This stupid person missed the great opportunity he had created for him. Letting myself have no way to leverage on Jiangzhou's affairs, almost ruined the big event.

The emperor didn't want to pay attention to King Nandun at first, but after weighing it for a while, he finally stopped and lowered his head: "What does the king want to do?"

Sima Zong bowed his head and bowed again, and then answered cautiously: "I am clumsy in doing things. Although I was dismissed, I dare not complain. I am sad that I can't see the king's face often. I don't have any invitations today. I just want to talk to Taoism Listen to the hadith to comfort the sick."

Hearing these sad words, the emperor felt a sneer in his heart. He would never believe that King Nanton would become sick from worry because he could not see him, but he just remembered that the imperial family was already in decline, even if the blood relatives were unbearable. , It is always more credible than those foreign ministers who have their own thoughts.

He asked King Nandun to get up and answer, and said: "The king is the elder of the clan. When the late emperor was here, he relied more on Wang Zuo. If I refuse to be the king, I still need to avoid suspicion when discussing things. The king should return and check himself. Time will change a little bit. own appointment."

King Nandun's respectful voice answered, and Er Er took out a brocade box, put both hands in front of the king, and said: "I live at home, and I admire the beauty. I have repeatedly asked Master Xu of Danyang to obtain this excellent product. I respectfully ask your majesty to taste it."

The emperor nodded slightly, and a waiter took the brocade box and presented it. When he opened it, the cold food inside was as white as frost, and it was in good condition.Although the emperor didn't indulge in material pleasures, he felt happy at the moment, so he accepted King Nandun's offer, and gave him a few words of encouragement and appreciation, before driving back to the inner garden.

King Nandun stood beside the imperial road and sent off the holy driver respectfully. After a long time, he turned around and left Taicheng slowly.

When he returned to the garden, the emperor remembered that there was still a son of Shen Chong in the palace waiting to be summoned by him.After returning to the hall to rest for a while, the emperor first summoned the waiter from the old garden to inquire. After listening for a while, his brows raised suddenly, and he sneered, "Give me a papaya? It really is a raccoon dog from Wuzhong Township, frivolous and rude. My best son-in-law depends on whether he has matching talents, so bring him here."

After about a quarter of an hour, Shen Zhezi walked into the hall with his head down, led by the attendant, not daring to raise his head to look around, staring at the ground, and only bowed down respectfully after the waiter stopped walking: "Xiaomin Shen Zhezi kowtowed to His Majesty .”

After hearing no response for a long time, Shen Zhezi's mood gradually sank. Could it be that this is going to throw him off?
As soon as this idea came to my mind, I heard a slightly joking voice: "How long are you going to kowtow?"

After hearing the words, Shen Zhezi looked up subconsciously, and saw a young man in his prime sitting behind the desk.Even though the other party's clothes did not have luxurious logos, but only ordinary clothes with wide sleeves, Shen Zhezi was sure that this person should be the current emperor Sima Shao.Because the other party's appearance is extremely mixed-race, with yellow beard and hair, long nose and deep eyes, it is not exactly what Wang Dun said "Xianbei slave with yellow beard".

While Shen Zhezi was observing the emperor, the emperor was also scrutinizing him. The youthful handsome face was full of restraint, especially the two red marks on his cheeks, which seemed to be the traces of being pressed by the belt while sleeping on the desk.

As soon as he imagined that scene, the emperor felt joy in his heart. This young man was arranged by himself in the old garden, and he dared to chant love poems to tease the princess, but he could still sleep peacefully in the forbidden place.The emperor doubted his own judgment for a moment, wondering if this kid was precocious and intelligent, or ignorant and fearless.

Shen Zhezi was indeed awakened from a deep sleep. Although he was worried, he didn't go to sleep until midnight after making the appointment last night.I didn't have enough sleep, and I sat alone until the afternoon, so I simply ignored it and got a sleep to refresh my energy before talking.

Sensing the emperor's scorching eyes looking at him, Shen Zhezi lowered his head subconsciously, and then found that the waiter beside him had already repeatedly signaled him to back down, only then did he realize that the promise of "free life without courtesy" is probably not in the mood for now.He backed away embarrassingly, then knelt down on the seat beside the hall, held his breath and calmed down, without looking sideways.

Although he was panicked before, but now that he saw the emperor, Shen Zhezi calmed down, calmed down, and prepared to deal with the emperor's interrogation.
