Chapter 519: Seating

  Gou Xi said with a sneer: "This is also thanks to General Zhao's Zhao Ju. If it wasn't for him blocking the road, I might be able to fight side by side with General Zhao and take the head of Wang Mi."

"General Gou is afraid of a misunderstanding. I sent Zhao Ju to patrol the counties and countries to suppress bandits. How could he stop General Gou?" Zhao Hanzhang turned and said with a smile: "But this may be God's will, God's will let me advance Luoyang, God's will let me save the emperor, and God's will let me kill Wang Mi."

   Zhao Hanzhang's show made Gou Xi angry again, but he suppressed it and sneered: "It is indeed God's will, congratulations to General Zhao for his great deeds, but I don't know who will be on his side next."

  Fu Zhi rode between the two of them on horseback, listening to their chatter, he sat still like Mount Tai, but his heart kept sinking.

  Before the King of the East Sea and Gou Xi were at odds, and Gou Xi was upright and loyal to the monarch. He thought that the situation would be better if the King of the East Sea died, but now it has become that Gou Xi and Zhao Hanzhang are at odds.

  Oh~~

  Fu Zhen sighed deeply, feeling sorry for himself and even more for His Majesty. With such a chaotic situation, I don't know when we will be able to settle down.

Zhao Hanzhang and Gou Xi arrived at the front of the palace together in discord. The 10,000-strong army that Gou Xi brought filled half the street, but Gou Xi and Gou Chun looked up and saw a small street beside the main street. In the alley, many soldiers stood up one after another, all wearing the armor of the Zhao Family Army and the Yuzhou Army.

  The houses on one side of the main street were almost burned to the ground, so we could see it more clearly. Some soldiers were holding bowls in their hands. They didn't line up, but just stared at them slyly, but they just felt a chill.

   Zhao Hanzhang's face sank, and he shouted loudly: "What are you doing? Are you celebrating the New Year at home, and have a meal until now?"

   Xun Xiu immediately shouted, "Line up—"

  The soldiers immediately stuffed the bowls in their hands, and the teams joined together. After just a dozen breaths, they lined up in the streets and alleys, staring solemnly at Zhao Hanzhang.

Zhao Erlang slipped back after Zhang Tao led the troops away. He disliked his sister and the others for walking slowly, so he took the bowl and ate half of it. Hearing the shout, he was holding the bowl and stuffed it into his arms for a while, back to back. It wasn't right either, so I could only grab the rice ball and stuff it into my arms, then fasten it with a bowl, and quickly ran to the front of the army to stand up.

  No way, he is also a general now, he has to stand in front of the army.

   The bulging cheeks on both sides of his cheeks were all the rice he had just stuffed in, and he hadn't had time to chew and swallow it.

   He was standing right in front of Zhao Hanzhang and Fu Tinghan.

   Zhao Hanzhang looked away from him when he saw him like this.

  Fu Tinghan felt that he was like a rabbit and couldn't help but smile. Seeing him staring at him innocently with sullen face and eyes, Fu Tinghan said to Zhao Hanzhang, "Come into the palace, the emperor is still waiting."

   Zhao Hanzhang then turned to Gou Xi and said, "General Gou, please."

  Fu Zheng said: "Neither of you are allowed to bring soldiers into the palace, and you must unload your weapons when you enter the hall."

Gou Chun only felt that this was too much of a request. These courtiers were clearly holding chicken feathers as arrows and were about to speak when they saw Zhao Hanzhang had already threw the spear to Zeng Yue, and then said to Gou Xi with a half-smile, "The last one who didn't obey this order. The man was Wang Mi, and then he died."

   Gou Xi also took off the weapon and ordered Gou Chun to take off the sword.

   Gou Chun glanced at Zhao Hanzhang and Fu Zhi, and took off the sword with a sullen face. He felt that Zhao Hanzhang was doing this to help Fu Zhi.

When    entered the palace, someone reported it to the emperor and ministers early.

  The emperor personally led the ministers to stand at the door of the main hall to greet him. Zhao Hanzhang looked up at the emperor on the high steps.

   When she went to the main hall before, the emperor didn't greet her. When she and Wang Mi went to see the emperor at the Ministry of Works, he sat safely on the top.

   It seems that the emperor really trusts and values ​​Gou Xi, but unfortunately, he knows that the current Gou Xi is no longer the honest, frugal and loyal Gou Xi that he used to be?

  The emperor saw Gou Xi again after many years, with tears in his eyes.

   The last time they met, Emperor Hui was still alive, and now he is just a terrified young prince. No one thinks he can safely ascend to the throne, and the emperor himself also thinks that he cannot.

  There are hundreds of courtiers, but there are not many ministers who can be trusted by the emperor. Fu Zhi is one of them. Besides Fu Zhi, it is Gou Xi.

   And Fu Zhi could only manage some internal affairs. He had no soldiers and no power in his hand.

  Unfortunately, he has always been controlled by the East Sea King, and he has no chance until today.

  Gou Xi was also very excited when he saw the emperor. He was about to kneel as soon as he lifted his robe. The emperor hurriedly stepped forward to support him, but Gou Xi knelt down to the ground forcefully, "Your Majesty, your servant is late to rescue you, please forgive me!"

   "Aiqing, get up, I know you've done your best, how can I blame you?" The emperor pulled Gou Xi up and asked, "I heard that Wang Mi's army of 30,000 is still outside."

   Gouxi said: "I have already left."

  The emperor breathed a sigh of relief, held his hand and said, "Aiqing is still very powerful, you have done good in retreating the enemy, I..."

   "Your Majesty," Gou Xi quickly explained, "Wang Mi's army was sent back by General Zhao."

  The emperor was stunned for a moment and then immediately looked at Zhao Hanzhang, also with a smile on his face, "Zhao Qing is indeed resourceful."

   Zhao Hanzhang responded with this compliment with a smile.

   "Then the danger in Luoyang has been completely lifted?" The emperor said happily: "Then we have to hold a banquet to celebrate today, and let Zhu Qing see Zhao Qing and Gou Aiqing."

   Both of them smiled and agreed.

   It is said to be a banquet, but it is actually similar to a court meeting. There are many things to discuss, such as the awards of Zhao Hanzhang and other soldiers, and the relocation of the capital.

   There were people in the palace, but there was little food, but Empress Liang still tried her best to lead the palace people to make a decent feast.

  The emperor and the queen were all dressed up to attend. The first one to sit down was Zhao Hanzhang and Gou Xi, but who should sit on the left?

  For this matter, avoiding Zhao Hanzhang and Gou Xi, the courtiers quarreled in the apse for two hours.

   Even Zhao Hanzhang, who went back to Zhao's house to wash and change clothes, heard about it.

  The officials headed by Zhao Zhongyu naturally insisted that Zhao Hanzhang sit first, but more people think that Gou Xi's contribution to the country is no less than Zhao Hanzhang, and the emperor will definitely rely more on Gou Xi in the future, so he should sit on the left.

  Finally, Fu Zhi said: "But today is a celebration feast. Zhao Hanzhang killed Wang Mi and went to Beijing to rescue him. All of them are the first credits. Her credit is unparalleled in the country."

  Wang Xing, who has been standing quietly outside the circle, also said: "Now the military force in Beijing is also Zhao Hanzhang. I think she acts in a proper way, but she is very decisive. Why bother her on such trivial matters?"

   "How could this be such a trivial matter? Seating represents honor and inferiority. If she were to be placed on the left today, General Gou would fall half a step behind her in the future, and nothing would be justified."

  Fu Zhen was angry, "What does Gou Xi need to be justifiable?"

   He said: "As a Jin minister, as long as you listen to His Majesty's orders, why bother to argue over such trivial matters?"
