Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty

Two days later, it rained. In late spring and early summer, the weather has been getting hotter and hotter, but it has cooled down a bit after it rains, as if the arrival of summer has been postponed for a long time.

However, whether it is windy or rainy, as long as there is no knife, the 15th of this month will not be shaken by thunder. Jinxiang Hall, the main hall of the imperial city, is much more lively than in the past.

The etiquette is also more solemn than usual, like a performance of a pre-arranged program, with the sound of bells and drums, libretto, and lines coming up one after another.

Guo Shao was wearing a yellow dragon robe and was sitting on the throne. He didn't pay much attention to the libretto and the introductory performance. Anyway, it was all nonsense, and the key point was nonsense that could not be fully understood... Unless there was something extreme, and those who could face the saints only in the court wanted to criticize others, they generally would not speak of important matters in such public places;

Generally speaking, the court will talk about auspiciousness, good agricultural harvest, peace and prosperity of the country and people's safety, letters from foreign guests and so on.

Although there were always voices in the court hall, Guo Shao noticed the sound of "rustling" rain outside the hall. Don't have a different mood even in the house on a rainy day.

After all the ministers had finished speaking, Guo Shao seized the time gap before the eunuch's libretto, and said, "My dear friends..."

The eunuch hurriedly suppressed his speech, bowed and stood listening. If Guo Shao wanted to speak in public, he had to find an opportunity by himself, mainly because the emperor seldom said anything according to his habit, and at most he would briefly respond to the minister.

He immediately paid attention to his tone, and said: "The future memorials will still be approved by the government and the Zhengshitang. In today's world, the chaos has been eliminated, and the prosperous age is approaching. I hope that you will be of the same mind with me, with the common heart of the world in mind, rule the world together, and be grateful to the people..."

After he finished speaking, he couldn't help finding Fan Zhi who was standing in the front, and observed Fan Zhi with his eyes. Guo Shao sat in a high position and could look down and see everyone, but the ministers could not look up at the emperor, and they could not rely on the emperor's expression to guess the holy will.

After these few days, Guo Shao's anger towards Fan Zhi had dissipated, but at this time another very secret feeling came to his heart. This time Fan Zhi gave Guo Shao more insight into people like scholar-bureaucrats... If Fan Zhi impeached Fu Jinzhan to be in power because of his own selfishness, even Guo Shao himself didn't believe it, but if he was said to be noble, Guo Shao always felt that it was not the case.

He remained calm and didn't intend to take revenge on Fan Zhi.

At this time, all the ministers knelt down on the ground and shouted: "The ministers will follow His Majesty's will."

"Excuse me, dear friends," Guo Shao said.

After a while, the eunuch sang in a long voice: "If you have something to play, you will leave the court if you have nothing to do..."

The ministers who just stood up once again knelt down to thank you. Guo Shao stepped down from the dragon chair and left the hall first.

As soon as he left the main hall, the eunuch Wang Zhong came forward and said softly behind Guo Shao: "Your Majesty, General Yang, the deputy commander in front of the palace, has also entered the imperial city today. He told the servants that his legs and feet are not very convenient, and going to court is a breach of etiquette. He is waiting outside the Jinxiang Hall."

When Guo Shao heard this, he stopped immediately. He wanted to go out of the hall to pick up Yang Biao himself, but this impulse was suppressed immediately. Didn't Li Chuyun and others still call themselves brothers and sisters in the past? It is not a good thing to be overly intimate with someone now. He and Yang Biao are still monarchs and ministers first, and brothers in life and death second.

Guo Shaodao: "Call Yang Biao to the East Hall to meet."

"Here." Wang Zhong bowed and stepped back.

Guo Shao was waiting in the study, and then he saw Wang Zhong leading Yang Biao in. Yang Biao was wearing a military uniform, and he was holding a wooden stick. He couldn't lose much weight. As soon as he came in, he supported the wooden stick and knelt down on the ground: "Your majesty."

Guo Shao hurriedly stood up from the chair, went to Yang Biao and helped him up with his own hands, and grabbed Yang Biao's arm with strength, as if secretly conveying the emotions in Guo Shao's heart at the moment. Wang Zhong wisely picked up the stick and handed it to Yang Biao.

"Give me a seat." Guo Shao said.

Yang Biao said: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Guo Shaodao: "General Yang's leg is seriously injured?"

Yang Biao said: "Return to Your Majesty, the doctor said that he injured his hamstring, and it hasn't healed yet. His left leg is a bit weak, and I don't know how to raise it for a while..."

Yang Biao looked in a bad mood: "Now I can't walk steadily, I'm afraid I won't be able to charge for His Majesty in the future."

Guo Shao thought: You just need to live.

But he said kindly: "General Yang was seriously injured in the Youzhou battlefield, and he can't heal in a hurry. Besides, the general who commands the army mainly relies on the method of using troops, and there is no need to charge and kill the enemy himself."

Yang Biao said: "Your Majesty's teaching is correct. One leg is nothing, compared to the third brother..."

Guo Shao's heart sank, and he said, "Third brother's affairs have been settled."

Neither of them said a word for a while, and the atmosphere was a little low. In the silent silence, the sound of the rain outside the window is more obvious. The rain wets everything, and the rain curtain is like smoke blocking the sight and heart. This kind of weather will affect the mood, and a kind of entangled and slightly sad breath comes to my heart. Luo Mengzi has been born and died all these years, and Guo Shao will naturally miss him when he dies.

At this moment, Guo Shao said: "General Yang followed me to Luo Mansion today to see Luo Mengzi's family."

Yang Biao said: "The minister receives the order."

Guo Shao looked sideways at the eunuch Wang Zhong: "We are asking Lu Chengyong to lead the guards to escort us for a private matter, and we don't need to use the emperor's guard of honor."

"Here." Wang Zhong bowed.

After a while, Jing Niang entered and asked for an order: "Your Majesty, please allow me to leave the palace together. Those cavalry are like long weapons on the battlefield, and they have to use short swords to protect themselves when they are close."

Guo Shao said: "Don't be too nervous, I'm going out of the palace temporarily, if there are assassins, there will be no time to deploy, how can it be so easy?" He waved his hands and said, "Forget it, follow me."

Guo Shao went inside, went to the suite where he was resting, and asked the palace servants to change the dragon robe he wore in court, and changed into a purple round-neck robe and a black gauze head.

After the car was ready, he and Yang Biao took the big carriage in the palace and left the imperial city in the rain.

Lu Chengyong rode a horse and clasped his fists next to the carriage and said, "Your Majesty, the Luo Mansion built with the money from the imperial court has not yet been completed, and General Luo's wife and children still live in the old house. The general will wait for the route to lead to the old house of the Luo family. Someone has already been sent to inform the Luo family."

Guo Shao nodded after listening. The rain outside has not stopped. Lu Chengyong and other soldiers are completely wet, and the rain is dripping down the brim of his iron helmet. They didn't bring any rain-shielding equipment, but they still maintained strict military discipline in the rain. This team of personal guards, after all, is the emperor's guards, they are relatively elite troops.

Guo Shao put down the curtain of the car and talked to Yang Biao who was sitting across from him.
