Chapter 2 Luoyang (Part 2)
Since the emperor and the Secretary of the Central Secretariat discussed important matters, they dared not leave anyone in the hall. Everyone, including the maid and the dancer, retreated to a corridor on the south side of the water pavilion, waiting quietly. As the lights were also extinguished, the originally colorful banquet scene suddenly became desolate; the dark forests in the distance came into view, and the thin branches swayed in the wind, making the atmosphere more and more desolate.
After a long time, the moon was in the middle of the sky, and the people in the water pavilion still had no intention of recalling everyone. Why did the good banquet suddenly become so embarrassing? Several servants looked at each other and were about to complain a few times when someone sneezes suddenly and immediately summoned the leader to lower his voice and scold him.
Unexpectedly, the servant was probably blown through the bones by the cold wind, or had an oral and nose disease, and could not stop sneezing one by one, and it seemed particularly loud in the quiet night. This was troublesome, and the leader didn't need to wield his fist. He covered his mouth with a piss and rushed into the corner of the garden, for fear that the sound would disturb the noble man.
If it were in the lush spring and summer, he would not have been able to get deeper; but now it was the scene of flowers and trees falling, so he rushed through the entire forest in one breath, and waited until he stopped stumbled, and in front of him was a path behind the water pavilion. This path was extremely remote, and it seemed that no one had passed for a long time, so that the fallen leaves on the ground were as deep as ankles. In the middle of the path, there were a cart, and there were several huge bulbs on the car. The bulbs were dark and there were a lot of clothes piled up.
There are many high-gate houses in Luoyang, and the wells are not suitable for use, so sometimes they use such vehicles to transport the clothes of servants and maids to the suburbs to wash and dry. This vehicle is obviously used for this purpose, but for some reason it was placed on a remote path. The servants didn't take it seriously and were too lazy to check it out. Seeing the famous imperial guards standing at the end of the path, he nodded and bowed a few times, then turned around, and stepped on the dead branches and leaves and returned.
As soon as the servant turned around, a few pieces of clothes were thrown out from the slumber in the car, and a head was revealed. The man carefully stared at the direction where the servant left. After a while, he slowly climbed out of the slumber and tiptoed to the water pavilion. The soldier at the end of the road ignored this and had no movement at all.
In the water chestile, the emperor was already a little impatient.
It was said that he only needed to "wait", but after a long time, no visitors appeared. The emperor was just a young man in his early twenties. Since he ascended to the throne, he had no time to wait for others, so he was inevitably impatient. Moreover, the two of them were waiting speechlessly in the dim light environment in the high hall, which really made people feel uncomfortable.
If it weren't for the fact that he had trusted Miao Bo far more than others, I'm afraid the emperor would have left long ago. But at this moment, he only coughed lightly and frowned and said, "Xuanze, how long will it take?"
Miao Bo was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered that although the person in front of him did not have much real power, the Emperor of Jin, who was the emperor of Wancheng, was not suitable for him to keep him in a silence. He stood up and swept up the bead curtain, looked outside the water pavilion, and then turned back to sit down: "Your Majesty, I have just said that the King of Donghai has raised hundreds of thousands of people in his hand, but he cannot suppress the Zhongyuan Shile. Wang Mi's bandits, and his prestige has been damaged. If this situation continues, the local towns that depend on Donghai will inevitably be shaken. Previously, the Dai County Lu Yao was interested in Youzhou, and the King of Donghai shogunate had not made a decision for a long time, but we had the initiative to appoint it first, which undoubtedly had an effect. Not only did it have the reputation of being a rich man in the city, but it also accelerated the wavering of those people."
"Oh?" The emperor suddenly became interested.
The Dai County Lu Yao mentioned by Miao Bo was originally just a minor general under the command of Liu Kun, the governor of Bingzhou. After lucky enough to seize the land, he took office as General Yingyang and the prefect of the county with the support of King Donghai. After the death of King Youzhou Peng Zu, the shogunate of King Donghai might have hesitated for this. He didn't know if he could pay the important task of Fang Bo for a while, which gave the Luoyang court the possibility of seizing the initiative. At the beginning of last month, the emperor sent himself as the former subordinate of King Yuzhang, and worked as the governor of Youzhou Zu Ti as the governor of Youzhou. He also ordered Zu Ti to carry an edict, using Lu Yao and Lu Daoming as the general of Pingbei and governing the military affairs of Youzhou.
Zu Ti was originally from the Fanyang clan and had a high prestige in Youzhou. I believe that no one dared to set up obstacles when he went to the north. More importantly, his appointment to Lu Yao truly demonstrated the sincerity of the court, and also showed the strength of the court to the princes in the world: after all, today's son is the name of the great righteousness, and the Luoyang court is the result of the promotion and punishment!
Although the emperor was not familiar with military affairs, he also knew that the Iron Cavalry of Youzhou was a talented soldier in the world, which was enough to influence the overall situation. Therefore, he accepted Miao Bo's opinion and suddenly promoted Lu Yao to such a high position... Could it be that Zu Ti had successfully won over Lu Yao in less than a month after he went north, and now there was an echo coming?
Because he was too excited, the emperor's voice suddenly became a little hoarse: "Xuanze, you mean..."
Just as the emperor asked, Miao Bo seemed to have heard something else and jumped up suddenly: "Your Majesty, you are here!"
After he walked to the hall quickly, he immediately pulled someone's arm back: "Your Majesty, this is Fu Xuan and Fu Shihong, the Minister of Rites."
The man who was pulled into the water pavilion by Miao Bo was dressed like a poor man, about forty years old, with a slightly beard on his face and not outstanding in appearance. To the emperor, this person was really unfamiliar with his name... and had a vague impression of him.
"Fu Xuan, the Minister of Rites? Who is Fu Zizhuang, a man from Guanglu??" The emperor supported his elbow on the table and leaned against his body. He hesitated and glanced at the man, and then glanced at Miao Bo with doubt.
Fu Xuan knelt respectfully and bowed: "Your Majesty, Fu Zizhuang is my father."
Fu Zhi Fu Zizhuang, who is currently the Guanglu Dafu, was born in a famous family in the northern county and was known for his ability and ability. He served as the prefect of Xingyang, the attendant of the Sanqi, the lieutenant of the Sili School, the Secretariat, and the Secretariat of the Central Secretariat. He also served as the Anxi Army Office and participated in the suppression of the Di rebellion in Qin and Yongzhou. When the emperor was the crown prince, Fu Zhi was the tutor of the crown prince and was a member of the secret team participating in the secrets of Miao Bo. Therefore, after the emperor ascended the throne, he was deliberately entrusting it with important tasks. The problem is that although Fu Zhi himself was both civil and military and had outstanding reputation, his son... what is a mere son of the Ministry of Personnel? Today is so deliberate arrangements just to meet Fu Zhi's son? Xuanze, Xuanze, are you talking about before teasing me? This is too much! The emperor felt that he was a little difficult to suppress his anger.
At this moment, Miao Bo said in a timely manner: "Your Majesty, Brother Shihong's sneaking in this time represents the general Gou Dao of Yanzhou."
The emperor's heart thumped suddenly and he couldn't help but ask in surprise: "What?"
"Brother Shihong and General Gou Dao of Yanzhou have been in close contact with each other, and have been in constant communication for many years. At noon today, Brother Shihong asked me to convey to Your Majesty the sincerity of Governor Gou's sincerity. I dare not be good at it, so I arranged a banquet tonight." Miao Bo replied.
"Mr. Xuan Zegong said it right." Fu Xuan once again bowed deeply: "General of the Fu Army, general of the military affairs of Qingyan and Yanzhou, and governor of Yanzhou Gou Xi, please ask Your Majesty for his health."
Before Fu Xuan could bow down to the ground, his shoulder was already supported by the emperor: "Oh, Shihong doesn't need to be polite! Please sit down, please sit down, please sit down and sit down to talk!"
