Chapter 154: The generous reward enters the province of Taiwan
Walking back to the original road from Yingchuan, Wang Sheng did not have the opportunity to carefully observe his surroundings because he was driving so fast.
But after coming out of Yuzhou, the surrounding people became more crowded and gradually became more lively.
Of course, this kind of anger is not enthusiastic, but rising in waves, with a feeling that seems to be there but not at all.
There is great chaos in Yuzhou, and the places around Yuzhou are also having a hard time.
The influx of a large number of refugees has brought about many problems, the most important of which is the food problem.
If the local state government does not provide food and grass for the refugees, these refugees will have no food to eat and will have no choice but to fight to death except starve to death.
The turmoil just started like this.
Especially when the front line is fighting for a long time, taxes in various states have increased a lot, and there is a food shortage in various places.
I'm afraid this is why the emperor is so anxious.
After four days of rapid march, ten of the horses were replaced. In the distance, we finally saw the outline of the majestic city of Luoyang.
Looking from a distance, the giant city of Luoyang looks like a dormant beast. The majestic city gives people a feeling of indestructibility.
There was no war in Luoyang. Although there was a war in Yuzhou, Luoyang was not affected at all.
From Guandao to Luoyang, you can even see the motorcade of a noble family going out for an outing, and there are groups of slaves.
Luoyang is as prosperous as ever, and there are long queues at the city gate.
If you just look at Luoyang, then this world is really a peaceful and prosperous age.
Of course, the current Wang Sheng would not think so.
The reason is also very simple.
He came from Yuzhou.
Even after three months, Yingchuan, Runan and Liang have not emerged from the turmoil of the war.
Rebellions occurred from time to time in various places, some were deliberately carried out by Wang Sheng, and some were indeed planned by King Qi behind the scenes.
The wars, coupled with the loss of population caused by the wars, were not as severe as the bones of the Three Kingdoms in the late Han Dynasty being exposed in the wild, and there were no roosters crowing for thousands of miles, but it was almost the same.
Wang Sheng had customs clearance documents, and given his status, the general guarding the city gate naturally did not have the guts to stop him.
Taking Liu Yong and Dai Yuan with him, Wang Sheng went straight into Luoyang City.
"My lord, I think everyone is tired from running around for these four days. Why don't you go to the Marquis Mansion to rest first?"
Naturally, Wang Sheng also has a residence in Luoyang, but on ordinary days, it is not in the Guangyuan Marquis Mansion, but in the Jingu Garden outside.
Before Wang Sheng could speak, Dai Yuan rejected Liu Yong's request.
"No, with this kind of matter happening now, Duke Ming should go to the palace immediately to see His Majesty. If the matter is delayed in the Marquis Mansion, Your Majesty may not be happy."
Wang Sheng nodded lightly and said: "What Ruosi said is true. His Majesty just recalled me from Yuzhou because he had doubts in his heart. If I don't go to the palace to see you as soon as I arrive in Luo, I'm afraid your Majesty really thinks that I am no longer with you."
Be loyal."
Today's emperor is very suspicious. If the emperor's doubts are confirmed at this time, it will definitely not be a good thing for Wang Sheng.
Liu Yong also knew that he had said too much, so he quickly covered his mouth and said, "I don't understand anything. Your Majesty, you will pretend that I didn't say anything."
Wang Sheng shook his head slightly and said, "Go to Jingu Garden first, inform your family, and then wait in the courtyard outside the palace."
Since we are back, it is naturally important to ensure that our family members are safe.
"only..."
"Don't worry, if you want to stay with me, it's okay."
Liu Yong nodded slightly and turned his horse's head upside down.
"What did the Lord mean by what he said just now?"
What's the point of just having me by your side?
Dai Yuan seemed to understand something in his heart, but he was not sure. His heart was burning and he was extremely anxious.
"If you think about the great talent, he has also made great achievements in pacifying the Runan Kingdom and the Liang Kingdom. It is natural for him to come with me to see His Majesty."
"Lord..."
Dai Yuan's face turned red and he seemed quite excited.
He jumped down from his horse, saluted Wang Sheng, and said, "My lord, Dai Yuan will never forget your great kindness."
Wang Sheng also jumped off his horse, helped Dai Yuan up, and said: "Your words of lord are enough. Let's go. The news of my entry into Luo has probably reached your Majesty's side now."
When Wang Sheng arrived at the city gate of Luoyang, the internal prison guard who had been waiting at the city gate hurried to the palace.
Calculating the time, it should be time.
"promise."
Since Wang Sheng wanted him to go to see the emperor as well, he was there with the intention of recommending him.
It is too difficult for ordinary people to meet the emperor.
Unexpectedly, I was able to see him, and he was taking advantage of my lord!
From Yuzhou to now, Wang Sheng has taken great care of Dai Yuan.
Human beings are not grass and trees, and Dai Yuan's heart is not made of iron. Now, in his heart, he can only be grateful to Wang Sheng.
The two set off again, and not long after, they arrived outside the palace city.
After receiving the imperial edict to enter the palace, Wang Sheng and Dai Yuan slowly entered the palace.
After entering the palace three months apart, every flower, grass, brick and tile in the palace seems to have not changed.
Inside the palace, things are always so rigorous and unchanging.
In such an unchanging palace, it would be wishful thinking to think that the emperor who grew up in the palace would have any sympathy for the people.
Only when you have truly seen the lives of ordinary people can you know how to write the word "people".
Only by truly experiencing the lives of ordinary people can you know what ordinary people need.
The emperor in the palace must not know.
Entered the side hall of Tai Chi Hall.
Emperor Sima Yu sat in front of the papers as always, reviewing a mountain of memorials.
"My lord, I would like to pay my respects to Your Majesty. Long live Your Majesty."
After the salute, the emperor in front of the document was still engrossed in looking at the memorial in his hand, seemingly wanting to forgive Wang Sheng.
Wang Sheng and Dai Yuan stood in front of the mountain of memorials, their heads lowered and motionless.
A quarter of an hour later.
Sima Yu finally finished reviewing the memorial in his hand. He raised his head and was stunned.
"Marquis Guangyuan?"
"I'm here."
"No need to be polite."
Originally, Sima Yu had great opinions on Wang Sheng and had many questions to say.
There were many questions that he wanted to ask himself.
But now that he saw Wang Sheng's appearance, he stopped.
Dai Yuan followed Wang Sheng, and he could see him every day. The change in Wang Sheng's appearance was very subtle, but Sima Yu and Wang Sheng had not seen each other for three months.
The change in Wang Sheng's appearance was very obvious in his eyes.
The original Marquis of Guangyuan was a young scholar, with yellow lips and white teeth, and high spirits. He was one of the most handsome young men in Luoyang.
But with his current appearance, his beard is messy, and the skin on his face has changed from fair to dark bronze. He is a scholar, but more like a rough commoner.
If his body shape hadn't changed, Sima Yu would have doubted whether the person in front of him was the Marquis of Guangyuan.
Fighting on the front line is not easy when you think about it.
"Official official, please give me a seat."
"Ah? No."
The chief internal officer was stunned for a moment, but he immediately came to his senses.
It's just that His Majesty said that he would punish Marquis Guangyuan severely before Marquis Guangyuan came. Why did his attitude change 180 degrees when Marquis Guangyuan came back?
This Marquis of Guangyuan is still Marquis of Guangyuan after all!
The chief internal officer sighed in his heart.
