Chapter 387: Longxi Emergency
A relatively rare inverted spring cold swept Luoyang, the capital of Wei, originally the end of February is the season of spring splendor, green trees and red flowers, but a sudden heavy snow will Luoyang City dressed in silver, green branches are hung with white ice, colorful flowers are also blooming in the snow. Spring and winter are wonderfully intertwined, and even the swallow returning from the north is standing on the branch in a daze, wondering if it has mistaken the time to come back.
As if they had returned to the cold winter in one day, the people who had already changed into spring clothes were shivering in the cold wind, and before the sky was dark, the originally bustling Kaiyang Street was already lonely at the moment.
Located on Kaiyang Street Jin Palace is the second only building in Luoyang City after the Imperial Palace, magnificent, golden wall splendor, of course, this is only the surface of inferiority, for people who are well versed in Luoyang officialdom, they know very well that this is the real center of power, Jin King Sima Zhao is from here to give orders, in charge of the world.
However, at this time, the door of the Jin Palace, there was no one at the door, a pair of glazed palace lamps were swaying in the cold wind, and several guards guarding the gate of the palace involuntarily shrunk their stiff necks, and the weather was too cold, so that these guards could not keep standing still, but it was getting late, and no one would pay attention to their standing posture anymore, and the time for the changing of the guard was approaching, and each guard secretly cursed this damn weather in their hearts, looking forward to ending today's duty as soon as possible.
At this moment, I only heard a bell ringing on Kaiyang Street, and a carriage was rolling on the ice ruts and galloping towards the Jin Palace.
Without waiting for the guards to reprimand. The carriage "squeaked" and stopped in front of the door of the Jin Palace. A man jumped out of the car. Eguan Bo belt, with a cold expression.
When the guards saw it, they suddenly lost their temper, and it was not someone else who came, it was the big red man next to King Jin, Jia Chong, the middle guard and the scattered cavalry. Jia Chong is a frequent visitor to the Jin Palace, and he often comes to Changshu, how dare the guards slack off. They all bowed their hands and said, "I've seen Master Jia." ”
Jia Chong just nodded slightly, and went straight to the palace of King Jin, walking in a hurry, stepping on the snow, making a creaking sound.
"It's so late, Lord Jia still wants to meet King Jin, is there something important that can't be done?" A guard looked at Jia Chong's back and said.
"Almost, looking at Lord Jia's solemn face, it must be a major matter, and it cannot be ruled by King Jin." Another guard said.
The head of the guard sank his face. shouted: "Military affairs, you can also discuss in vain? Stand guard well. Hugh is babbling! ”
The two guards consciously lost their mouths, and quickly fell silent and stood upright.
Jia Chong walked through the long back and went straight to Sima Zhao's residence, he walked thousands of times in the Jin Palace, the path was very familiar, even if it was dark, he found the way, and soon came to Sima Zhao's residence.
Sima Zhao was reviewing the recitals, and since he took over the banner from his father and brother, Sima Zhao basically had not slept before the third watch, and every night he had to hold candles to review these recitals that were supposed to be presented to the emperor. However, since the Gaopingling Incident, the Wei Emperor surnamed Cao has never seen these concerts again, and the affairs of the court and the central government are all decided by the Sima family. Especially after Cao Chao, the noble township duke, became the emperor, he was dissatisfied with the dictatorship of the Sima clan, and even ridiculously led the palace attendants to attack Sima Zhao, but was killed by Jia Chong's command. After Cao Huan ascended the throne, he became a typical puppet emperor, and from then on, the affairs of the court were all handled by Sima Zhao. "Sima Zhao's heart, passers-by know" This sentence from Cao Chao is now known to everyone in Luoyang City.
Sima Zhao just finished reading the concert sent by Yanghu from Jingzhou, and sighed softly, the battle of Xiling has been pending for a long time, which is not good news for Sima Zhao. He put down the music and rubbed his temples, probably because of his age, he always felt dizzy recently, and when it was serious, he had a splitting headache, and he had a royal doctor to see it, but he didn't know why, and he took a few medicines to calm his nerves and tonify his brain, but there was not much relief effect.
Fifty and knowing the destiny of heaven, Sima Zhao has felt that his body is not as good as day by day since he turned fifty, time flies, the vicissitudes of time, is he really old?
"King Qi Jin, the middle guard, the scattered cavalry and the regular attendant Jia Chong ask to see." The attendant stepped forward and whispered.
Sima Zhao was slightly stunned, it's so late, what else is going on with Jia Chong? "Biography." Sima Zhao commanded.
Soon Jia Chong came in and bowed down.
Sima Zhao waved his hand very casually and said, "Gonglu, it's so late, why are you here?" ”
"King Qijin, there is an urgent report from Sima Hussar in Longxi, and the minister did not dare to delay, so he sent it over overnight."
When Sima Zhao heard that it was a piece from Sima Wang in Longxi, he was immediately interested, and said, "Where is the piece?" Take it with Lonely. ”
Jia Chong took out a piece of music from the sleeves of his wide robe and handed it over with both hands.
Sima Zhao is most concerned about the war in Longxi now, half a month ago he received the news that Sima Wang sent troops to Chang'an, Sima Zhao has been closely watching the development of the war in Longxi, but he never thought that Sima Wang had just sent troops not long ago, and he had already handed over the chapter, could it be that he had pacified Longxi?
The difficulty of pacifying Longxi is not too great, a partial division of Shu attacked Longxi in an opportunistic way, resulting in the fall of the six counties of Longyou, but Sima Zhao was not too worried, you know, Sima Wang is a famous general, familiar with the geography of Longxi, this time it is equipped with 100,000 troops, and occupies an absolute advantage in military strength, Sima Zhao believes that pacifying Longxi is just around the corner.
However, Sima Wang's report came so quickly, which made Sima Zhao a little unexpected, he held the recital in his hand, and did not rush to open it, he smiled and said: "Gonglu, don't guess alone, this recital must also be a good document, this time Zichu has made a great contribution!" ”
Jia Chong had a black line on his face, and secretly smiled bitterly, but he didn't say it directly to Sima Zhao, but said, "King Jin should read the chapter first." ”
Sima Zhao saw Jia Chong's strange expression, and said strangely: "Gonglu seems to have something else to say?" ”
Jia Chong wanted to speak and stopped, but said: "King Jin will understand after reading the chapter. ”
Sima Zhao felt inexplicable and opened the concerto, which was not tight, and when Fang looked at it, he was so shocked that Sima Zhao's face turned pale and dumbfounded, and he couldn't even say a word. (To be continued.) )
