Three Kingdoms King of the North

Guo Jia is a frequent visitor to Han Zhan's house, and the purpose of coming here today is to enter the palace with Han Zhan to face the saint.Now that Han Zhan made the request at this moment, he did not refuse, so he swaggered and sat down in the lower seat, cupped his hands and said to Han Zhan, "Thank you, my lord, for your kindness. Then Jia would be more respectful than obedient."

Seeing that Guo Jia was willing to stay and have a meal with him, Han Zhan urged Patch: "Patch, bring the lunch quickly, the Marquis wants to eat with the military adviser."

"My lord, wait a moment." Just as Patch turned to leave, Guo Jia stopped him and reminded Han Zhan, "You need to see General Zilong later. He must not have eaten. Why don't you wait for him?" Here we come, is it too late for us to have dinner?"

"Feng Xiao, you are right." After being reminded by Guo Jia, Han Zhan immediately remembered that he had forgotten such an important person as Zhao Yun, and quickly told Patch: "Patch, order the back kitchen to prepare meals for the three of them. Remember, General Zilong is a warrior, he eats a lot, so the portion prepared for him is doubled."

"Understood, young master." Patch respectfully agreed: "Young one, let's get ready."

Chapter 513 Misunderstanding

Besides, Chen Dao was ordered to go to the palace to report to Han Xiandi that Han Zhan was about to bring a troupe into the palace to perform.

Outside the gate of the palace, the new Sima of Gongyemen came from the Tiger Guards, so he naturally knew Chen Dao, he hurriedly stepped forward to salute, and asked respectfully, "May I ask General Chen, what is the matter so far?"

After returning the gift, Chen Dao said: "I am ordered by my lord to come to see Your Majesty."

The Sima of Gongyemen thought that Chen Dao was a popular person beside Han Zhan, and he wanted to please him, so he took the initiative to say: "General Chen, Your Majesty should be in the hall at this moment, why don't you go with me to see him."

Seeing that the other party was so enthusiastic, and he was also an old member of the Tiger Guards, Chen Dao didn't think too much, so he nodded in agreement, and followed Sima of Gongyemen to the vicinity of the main hall.There were more than [-] Habayashi guards standing on the steps outside the gate of the hall. When they saw that it was Sima of Gongyemen who brought Chen Dao, they did not stop them, but instead bowed and saluted them, allowing them to go up the steps of the hall smoothly.

When they came to the platform outside the gate of the palace, Sima Gongye asked Chen Dao to wait for a while before entering the palace to report.Chen Dao said "I'm sorry", he stopped, put one hand on the hilt of his sword, and stood outside the palace gate with one hand on his hip.

The small yellow gate in the hall saw Sima from Gongye Gate enter, and hurriedly greeted him and asked, "What's the matter?"

"General Chen from the State Shepherd's Mansion is asking to see His Majesty." Gong Yemen Sima said to Xiaohuangmen: "Now he is outside the palace."

Xiao Huangmen knew Chen Dao's identity, and heard that he was sent by the State Shepherd's Mansion, so he didn't dare to be negligent, and hurried over to report to Han Xiandi: "Your Majesty, the Marquis of Anyang has sent someone here."

Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty who was reading the memorial raised his head and asked, "Where is the man?"

"Wait outside the hall."

Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty glanced at Sima of Gongyemen standing at the entrance of the hall, and ordered Xiaohuangmen: "Acclaim him to see him!"

If it was any other courtier, Xiao Huangmen would definitely turn around and face the palace gate, shouting in a shrill voice: "Your Majesty declares XX to have an audience!" He didn't dare to do this. After all, most of the soldiers and horses guarding the palace today were subordinates of Anyanghou. If he angered Anyanghou, he could crush himself to death like a bug.

Xiao Huangmen trotted all the way to Sima of Gongyemen, nodded and bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty has a decree, and I invite General Chen, who is under the Marquis of Anyang, to have an audience!"

Gong Yemen Sima nodded, turned around and went out to Chen Dao, and said respectfully: "General Chen, Your Majesty has an order to announce your audience."

Chen Dao took off his boots, and before he even had time to take the saber around his waist, he strode into the hall.Seeing that Chen Dao didn't untie his sword, the Sima of Gongye Gate went straight into the hall, and couldn't help but turn pale with fright.If you want to dissuade him, Chen Dao has already entered the hall, if he yells from behind, it will be regarded as a disgrace.

"The last general has seen His Majesty." Chen arrived in front of Emperor Xian of Han, cupped his fists and saluted, "The last general is wearing armor and cannot fully salute. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Seeing that Chen Dao actually entered the palace with a sword, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty could not help but break out in a cold sweat. His first reaction was, could it be that this Chen Dao came to take my life under the order of Jizhou Mu.At this moment, seeing the other party stopped at a distance of five or six steps, and his attitude was still respectful, I felt a little calm in my heart.He asked tremblingly: "General Chen, I don't know why the Marquis of Anyang sent you into the palace?"

Where did Chen know the true thoughts in Emperor Han Xian's heart, so he replied respectfully: "I report to my subordinates, my lord ordered me to come and report to His Majesty, saying that after lunch, I will personally lead a troupe to attack and perform for Your Majesty. He is worried Your Majesty may take a nap after lunch, and I will report to His Majesty at the end of the day."

Although Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty was thinking about the Huangmei Opera Han Zhan mentioned two days ago, but at this moment, he was inexplicably worried.He was worried that Han Zhan used the name of attacking and performing arts, but in fact he wanted to do something wrong.After hearing Chen Dao's report, he hesitated for a moment, and then asked: "I wonder when the Marquis of Anyang plans to enter the palace?"

"Return to Your Majesty," Chen Dao said, "My lord said that after His Majesty finishes his lunch, he will personally lead the theater troupe into the palace."

"I know." Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty waved his hands at Chen Dao, trying to force a smile on his face: "The Qing family will go back and tell the Marquis of Anyang that I will wait for him in the palace."

As soon as Chen Dao left, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty couldn't wait to say to Xiao Huangmen: "Quickly drive to Changqiu Palace, I'm going to see Empress Fu."

Xiao Huangmen waited on Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty and came to Changqiu Palace.Empress Fu was doing her makeup in front of the bronze mirror, and when she saw Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty entering, she quickly got up and saluted the palace people: "The concubine sees Your Majesty."

Emperor Xian of the Han bent down to help Empress Fu up, straightened up and said to the other courtiers, "I have something to say to the empress, you all should step back first." The palacemen agreed, bowed and retreated out of Changqiu Palace .

"Your Majesty." Seeing that Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty drove out all the palace people, Empress Fu felt that something might have happened, and quickly asked tentatively, "What happened?"

"The Marquis of Anyang sent someone to tell me that after lunch, he will personally bring the theater troupe into the palace to perform."

"Didn't Your Majesty always want to hear what kind of Huangmei Opera created by Marquis Anyang?" Empress Fu asked strangely, "Why does Your Majesty seem so restless when he hears that Marquis Anyang is going to enter the palace?"

Emperor Xian of the Han snorted heavily, and said: "Just now the person sent by the Marquis of Anyang to summon the messenger actually entered the palace with a sword, but the Sima of Gongyemen didn't care about it. I am worried that it is wrong for the Marquis of Anyang to bring a troupe into the palace to perform. False, taking my life is true."

Empress Fu was taken aback by Emperor Han Xian's words, but she quickly regained her composure and said tentatively, "Your Majesty, is there some misunderstanding in this?"

"What misunderstanding?" Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, who had been bullied by Dong Zhuo, was very afraid of someone entering the palace with a sword without permission.Therefore, seeing Chen Dao saber entering the store swaggeringly, he instinctively remembered the humiliating days when Dong Zhuo was in power: "He encouraged his cronies to enter the palace with saber, didn't he try to test my reaction, to see if I was weak and could be bullied? "

"Your Majesty, please listen to my concubine's words." As the saying goes, the authorities are confused and the bystanders are clear. Empress Fu, who has stayed in the harem for a long time, has a clearer view on certain things than Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty. When Chang'an moved his capital to Yecheng, he had many chances to get rid of His Majesty. After arriving in Yedu, he always respected His Majesty. The concubine heard that he even complained of illness every day to avoid making His Majesty feel uncomfortable. Yes His majesty is still suspicious of such a loyal subject, if Anyang Hou finds out, I am afraid he will be chilled."

Empress Fu's words awakened the dreamer, and Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty realized that he had got into a dead end. Maybe when Chen Dao entered the palace, he forgot to take the sword, and he misunderstood the other party.Thinking of this, he said with some embarrassment: "Queen, could it be that I really misunderstood the Marquis of Anyang?"

Empress Fu guessed what Han Xiandi was thinking, and said tactfully: "Your Majesty, if you are still not at ease, you can send someone to recruit Taiwei Yang Biao, Da Sinonong Zhu Jun, Taifu Zhao Qi and others into the palace. They and Marquis Anyang has a good personal relationship, if they are by His Majesty's side, even if Marquis Anyang has some ideas, I am afraid that after seeing them, he will be afraid."

"What the queen said is very true, I immediately sent someone to invite the three of them into the palace." Han Xiandi said, rushed to the door of the room, and shouted to the outside: "Come here!"

Xiao Huangmen immediately appeared at the door, bowed his head and bowed his waist, and waited respectfully for Emperor Hanxian's order.

Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty pointed at him with his hand and said, "Hurry up and call Taiwei Yang Biao, Da Si Nong Zhu Jun, and eunuch Zhao Qi, and tell them that I have something important to discuss with them."

Chapter 514

Yang Biao, Zhu Jun, and Zhao Qi were discussing matters. When they saw the Xiaohuangmen next to Emperor Xian of Han come to deliver an order, saying that His Majesty had something important to discuss, they couldn't help being surprised, thinking that something big had happened.Since Dong Zhuo came to Beijing, such things happened frequently, and they have become frightened birds.

Following the Xiaohuangmen who delivered the decree, they came to the harem. After the three of them greeted Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, Yang Biao asked tentatively: "Dare to ask Your Majesty, what's the point of waiting here so eagerly to recruit ministers?"

"In half an hour, the Marquis of Anyang will bring people into the palace." Emperor Xian of the Han said with a dull expression, "I specially asked three Qing families to come here to accompany me to meet the Marquis of Anyang."

"What, the Marquis of Anyang wants to bring people into the palace?" Zhao Qi couldn't help being moved, and asked nervously: "Your Majesty, you should immediately mobilize the imperial army to guard all the entrances, and then send people to contact the ministers and ask them to send out the troops in their hands." Domestic servants, assist His Majesty to guard the palace together. As long as they can block it for a moment, the ministers can protect His Majesty to leave the palace."

"Zhao Qing's family," Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty couldn't help being stunned when he heard Zhao Qi's impassioned statement.After finally waiting for him to finish speaking, he said somewhat dumbfoundingly: "The Marquis of Anyang is just bringing an opera troupe to perform for me, and it's not a rebellion. There's no reason to mobilize the army."

Zhao Qi's face turned red immediately. He thought it was Han Zhan who was preparing to rebel, and that's why he actively proposed to Han Xiandi to mobilize the forbidden army.As a result, when Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty explained, he realized that he had misunderstood.

Zhu Jun smiled and said: "President Zhao, this statement is wrong. The Marquis of Anyang has always been loyal to the court, how could he have rebellious thoughts? Besides, there are many soldiers in the imperial army today, all from the Jizhou army. If Anyang If Hou wants to rebel, he only needs to bring a sentry outside the palace, and the imperial guards guarding the palace will turn against each other."

Zhao Qi thought about it, it seems that this is really the case, the new capital is now on the territory of Jizhou, if the Marquis of Anyang thinks of soldiers to make trouble, it is not a matter of one sentence, why make it so complicated.He hastily bowed to Zhu Jun, and said respectfully, "I've been taught!"

"What Da Si Nong said is reasonable!" At this time, Empress Fu walked out from behind Wei Wei, and said to Emperor Xian with a smile: "Your Majesty, my concubine told you just now that the Marquis of Anyang is loyal to His Majesty, and there will be absolutely no illegal acts." Thinking about it, now that Da Sinong has said the same thing, His Majesty should be relieved."

Seeing Empress Fu appearing, the three important ministers saluted her quickly.Only now did Yang Biao open his mouth to say to Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty: "Your Majesty, according to the observation of the veteran, the Marquis of Anyang is a loyal and benevolent man. Back then, his younger brother Yang Qi and many courtiers plotted against him. , Shedi and those courtiers must have been wiped out long ago, how could it be so easy to be demoted and released."

After being reminded by Yang Biao, Emperor Xian of the Han immediately remembered that when he punished Yang Qi and others, he could only fear that Han Zhan would go on a killing spree and cause the capital's blood to flow into rivers.Unexpectedly, Han Zhan didn't seem to be enthusiastic about this matter, and only demoted those participants and sent them to Qingzhou as officials.

The huge stone in his heart fell to the ground, and Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty suddenly became much more at ease.He hurriedly called Xiaohuangmen, and ordered him to take someone to tidy up the main hall, and then let the troupe brought by Han Zhan perform on the court hall.

After Han Zhan entertained several important empresses in his mansion, he saw that the time was almost up, so he got up and prepared to bring the troupe into the palace to perform.

Guo Jia quickly called Han Zhan to stop, and asked tentatively, "My lord, may I let my subordinates enter the palace together?"

If someone else made such a request, maybe Han Zhan would refuse, but Guo Jia is his confidant and right-hand man, so he can take him anywhere, so he nodded and said, "Okay, Feng Xiao, follow me Let's enter the palace together."

With a group of troupe girls, naturally they couldn't walk, and there were no sedan chairs in this era, so Han Zhan ordered people to prepare ten carriages to transport the troupe girls into the palace. at the front of the .
