1045 Cross Halberd Fork Neck

Rewind time to a quarter of an hour ago.

In Shen Zhezi's opinion, there are probably two intentions, one is to startle the snake, and the other is to unify the hearts of the guards.

The first point is obvious, the army, especially the army stationed in Gyeonggi, is a sensitive area that must not be easily manipulated, especially when it involves a powerful man like Shen Zhezi, which will make this sensitivity several times more precipitous. And as we all know, the Shen clan's influence in the Northern Army is very low.

Anyone with the slightest sense of the situation can perceive the unusual meaning of this kind of sudden occurrence. As far as the people of the Shen faction are concerned, Shen Zhezi is suddenly placed in an environment where safety is not guaranteed, and the deeper he is involved with the Shen family, the more intense the reaction will be.

Who is an enemy and who is a friend can only be revealed in such a delicate and critical moment. The so-called Prime Minister Bai knows that he is still pressing the sword, no matter what his words and deeds are, when the safety of Shen Zhezi, who is the core figure of the Shen family, is threatened, many details that cannot be observed will be reflected in large quantities.

As for the unification of the hearts of the guards, although this point is a little obscure, it is not difficult to understand. The basic composition of the guards is the so-called Liangjiazi of the six counties, of course, after several major blood exchanges and reorganization, a large number of overseas Chinese children have joined in.

Take the Northern Army Suwei as an example, although the Shen family does not have enough influence, it is at the level of generals. In fact, the Northern Army Suwei was also composed of a large number of children of the Northern and Southern Streamers, and further afield, Shen Zhezi was a disciple of Ji Zhan, and presided over the defense of Gyeonggi for a long time during the Suzu Rebellion.

In particular, although the guards have different responsibilities, they are also soldiers after all, and Shen Zhezi is the representative of military merit in the country today. All kinds of factors are superimposed, and it is really difficult to estimate how much influence Shen Zhezi has in the guards, especially among the low-level commanders.

The sudden involvement of the Northern Army meant that it directly threatened Shen Zhezi's life, and no matter what the lower reasons were, they would inevitably bear the counterattack of the Shen family's forces. This is not determined by Shen Zhezi's personal will, but by the characteristics of the entire faction.

In this way, the northern army will inevitably fall into a whirlpool of struggle, and if someone pushes from behind, more guards may be involved. This directly conveyed a belief that Liang Gong and the entire Shen family were extremely dissatisfied with Su Wei. Not in its place, even if there is any old involvement, how much can be left after this noise?

Every time the righteous slaughter dogs, the lower the people, the more inclined they are to agree with the big concept. An ordinary guard soldier, even if this matter has nothing to do with him, but he is a member of the guard, and Liang Gong is dissatisfied with the guard, which will make him feel threatened.

Of course, in addition to these two points, the move of the Northern Army to enter can be interpreted in other ways, such as whether it is a threat? But all these intentions are a means, and what is the purpose of the manipulators behind it, in fact, it remains to be further observed, what kind of goals do they want to achieve?

So after that, there will inevitably be further developments in the state of affairs.

Shen Zhezi thought that he had done enough mental construction, but he didn't expect this further development to come so quickly and unfold in a way that he didn't expect at all.

Because of his caution, when Shen Zhezi entered Tongyuan, he was accompanied by his own class sword. This is not due to timidity, but to being responsible for others as a faction leader. At present, the emperor is also in Tongyuan, and if anyone wants to use the emperor's name in Tongyuan to be unfavorable to Shen Zhezi, it is challenging a bottom line of all families.

Because the so-called gatekeeper politics has two most basic characteristics in politics, one is to share the imperial power, and the other is to maintain the imperial power. For the sake of selfish interests, the emperor is involved in unpredictable dangers, how can others play? Everyone's common hole cards can't be handed over to you alone! Whoever is involved loses the most basic position of the gate valve.

However, after Shen Zhezi arrived outside the hall, there was an extremely strange scene in front of him: on both sides of the road, two teams of well-armored guards were lined up, each holding a sword and ritual weapon in his hand. And when Shen Zhezi left the group and walked on the road, two guards stepped forward and crossed his neck, and the other two held knives through his armpits and held them forward. And these four blades are real!

Suddenly encountering this situation, Shen Zhezi did not panic, because he knew that this was a kind of etiquette, a kind of Han etiquette that had long been forgotten by the people.

The three dukes of the Han system led the troops into the meeting, and they all crossed their halberds and crossed their necks.

Shen Zhezi knew this old etiquette, not because he was familiar with etiquette, but because of a story. That is, Cao Cao crusaded against Zhang Xiu to see Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, and he suffered this kind of treatment, sweating profusely, and has not made a pilgrimage since then.

During the Wei and Jin dynasties, the powerful ministers came out repeatedly, and the imperial authority fell strictly, and this old ritual that directly threatened the lives of the powerful ministers was also consciously forgotten. At least Shen Zhezi has been in this world for so many years, and he has never heard anyone talk about this old ceremony on any occasion.

So when he encountered this kind of treatment, he was a little confused for a while, and he couldn't figure out what the intention of the person who put on this posture was. As for the sword guards behind him, they naturally didn't know about these so-called old rites, and seeing that the Metropolitan Governor was directly held hostage by someone's murder weapon, he immediately rose up, rushed over to take Shen Zhezi back, and then protected him and rushed out.

The Northern Army rushed into Tongyuan, and what they saw was this scene.

Shen Zhezi has also seen strong winds and waves, but he really felt a little caught off guard at this moment. Because this move is so unexpected, it can be said that how sinister the human heart is, how much can be interpreted for this behavior. Even he couldn't catch the purpose of the mastermind behind it for a while.

Since you can't figure it out, you naturally have to choose what is most beneficial to you. And which aspect is beneficial to Shen Zhezi? It's a promiscuity!

First, he is not the third duke, nor is he leading the troops into the meeting, but in the edict. Second, he is not Cao Cao, he is not ordered by the Son of Heaven not to be subordinate, but ordered by the king to cut down Hu rebellion!

Therefore, in front of the guards, Shen Zhezi stepped forward in person and beat the ceremonial officer. This is to put yourself on the right side in terms of etiquette first, and then divide the criticism that may appear later or later through the small mistake of deceit.

At this moment, everyone present, Shen Zhezi's subordinate guards are just apprehensive, and at the moment, the only thing is to focus on the safety of the metropolitan governor. As for the two guards, they were all shocked to the extreme, and they didn't know what to do.

A general with the highest status on the scene, like Zhao Yin, because he has more sinister insight into political conspiracies, is even more afraid at this time, and he does not dare to come forward rashly before he understands the inside story.

But no matter how bad Shen Zhezi's martial arts are, it is also a long-term Rong brigade, and he is even more angry at this time, and it is not something that a mere Taiwanese official can stop.

Seeing that Liang Gong had no intention of stopping, and the situation of the ceremonial official was even more worrying, Huan Wen had to step forward, and just a few steps forward, he saw Liang Gong's sword after work, he spread his hands, stood a few zhang away, and said loudly: "Liang, Liang Gong, please calm your anger, after all, the Son of Heaven is near the garden......

Shen Zhezi didn't really want to beat the ceremonial official to death, this was also part of his expression of anger, and when he heard Huan Wen's persuasion, he could be regarded as retracting, and then looked around at the guards present and shouted angrily: "Retreat!" ”

Most of the guards were at a loss at this moment, and when they heard the scolding, they all avoided to the side, but they still faintly surrounded Shen Zhezi and his guards on the spot.

When there was no one else in the near future, Shen Zhezi shook off the dust on his robe, was crowned and tied, and bowed in the direction of the palace where the emperor was, with pathos hidden in his tone: "The minister was edicted to return to the capital, and he wanted to make a contribution before the king." Unexpectedly, the way to the audience was blocked by treachery and evil, and we couldn't see each other at hand! The monarch and the minister are here, the world is in great mourning, fortunately in the Jiangbei loyal and brave group, just wait for an edict, then they will return to the capital and worship His Majesty! ”

After saying that, he got up three more times, marched back to his guard, and said in a deep voice: "Let's go!" ”

At this time, there were also other guards stationed in the garrison who heard the news here, and there was no shortage of people who heard clearly that Liang Gong's words actually meant King Qin, and they were all shocked for a while.

Most of them didn't know why the situation had evolved to this point, and Zhao Yin, who had the highest status in the scene, was already shaking like chaff at this time, and his body was crumbling, and he had to rely on the support of the people around him to stand firm, let alone give a clear instruction to the guards.

But even if there are no instructions, there are no shortage of people who realize that Liang Gong must not be allowed to leave like this, otherwise it is very likely that Jiangdong will fall into the flames of war again in the next moment! But even if they are aware of this, who would dare to take the initiative at this time? Although Liang Gong has not been in charge of the Su Guard for a long time, he is also a legendary figure that no one has been able to surpass in recent years.

Therefore, the guards did not dare to enter or retreat, so they were congested in a space, and at the same time quickly ordered someone to inform the Taifu of the chaos here, hoping that someone would come forward in time to clean up the mess.

The guards wanted to stalemate for a while, but Shen Zhezi and his guards had already made up their minds.

Although they were unarmed, they clasped their elbows and surrounded and protected the Metropolitan Governor, and directly used their bodies to meet the sharp weapons held by the later guards, and opened the way with their bodies.

In Tongyuan, the first important person to arrive is the Guozhang Protector Wei Chong, who is a clear soldier at this time, and his demeanor is not as elegant as the Wei family has always praised by the world, and the whole person is shrouded in an invisible anxiety.

After Wei Chong arrived, he immediately summoned the general of the guard present to ask a little question, but at this time, who could tell the whole story clearly, and could only state what he saw.

"If such an evil thing happens, can the Northern Army excuse itself?"

Wei Chong's face was pale, and he ordered someone to take down Zhao Yin on the spot, strip off his armor, and then quickly ordered the guards to return to their places to defend Tongyuan, and then he hurried to the palace where the emperor was.

"Wei, Wei Gong, do you want to send Su Wei to protect Liang Gong again?"

Huan Wen lowered his head and left, seeing Wei Chong turn around and leave, he struggled in his heart several times before he suddenly spoke.

After Wei Chong heard this, his face changed again, he turned his head and glanced at Huan Wen angrily, and then he didn't say anything, and went straight to the emperor's palace. (https:)
