Jun Jiuling - Chapter 640
[Chapter 74 Kneeling down and congratulating]
Remember [ ] in a second to provide you with wonderful novel reading.
The noisy voice came from the Royal Street, and Huang Cheng, who was standing on the tower, became more and more dark.
The officials under the city gate were obviously aroused by this obviously intensified noise, and they looked back frequently, and most of the officials at the city gate had already been informed by the bulletin of the Imperial Army.
I heard that thousands of refugees from the Northland poured in, and their expressions were very ugly.
Refugees, victims of disasters, and civil unrest have the same meaning in the hearts of officials.
This is why many state governments are closed to accepting refugees.
More importantly, this matter was not reported in advance.
The emperor’s expression on the dragon chair has returned to normal, no anger can be seen, but everyone is also very clear in their hearts that they can’t see joy.
However, Duke Cheng’s team was getting closer, and the officials of the Ministry of Rites had to bite the bullet.
“Your Majesty, Duke Cheng has entered the city, and the auspicious time has arrived.” He bowed his head for instructions.
The emperor seemed to be waking up from a dream, with a bit of excitement on his face.
“Ah, here we are, okay, okay.” He said again and again, clapping his hands on the handrail, but no one stood up.
“Your Majesty.” Huang Cheng walked out suddenly, with a solemn expression and undisguised anger, “Please, Your Majesty, go back to the palace.” Back to the
palace?
The officials present were taken aback.
Wouldn’t that make Cheng Guogong lose face in front of the world when he returned to the palace at this time?
Of course, this is what Huang Cheng has dreamed of, but if you ask the emperor to do this, you must have a plausible reason, right?
The emperor obviously thought of this too, looking surprised and disturbed.
“Master Huang, why did you say this?” he said, frowning and stood up again, “The Duke of Cheng is about to come, and I will praise him for his achievements. Civil and military officials are waiting for the people in the city. Don’t be joking.”
As he said that, he stepped forward and motioned to the servant.
“Prepare to announce.” The
servants responded,
just about to leave, Huang Cheng knelt down and stopped the emperor’s footsteps.
“Your Majesty can’t do it,” he said with a choked sobs, and pointed out the city, “That Duke Cheng has no decree to bring thousands of refugees from the North to Beijing. , in case the spies get involved and hurt Your Majesty, my week will be finished.”
This is also reasonable.
These tens of thousands of people came too strangely and suddenly.
Those are not the people in the capital city on Yujie. Although there are many people, they have been strictly checked. Not to mention that the identities of thousands of Northland refugees have not been verified. The guard may not be able to stop it.
If it is the Jin Ren spies again, or even the Jin Ren disguise themselves and sneak in… The
Jin Ren has broken through the imperial city and plundered the emperor.
Everyone present thought of this, that incident was a nightmare for the royal family, and the emperor’s face suddenly turned pale.
But he still didn’t turn around and walked away, instead he gritted his teeth and walked.
“Master Huang has been thinking too much.” He said firmly, “I believe that Duke Cheng, with him, will not have such mistakes.” After that, he
continued to walk down the city gate.
Huang Cheng knelt down and kowtowed, fell to the ground and cried.
“Your Majesty, Your Majesty is not allowed.” He shouted, “It’s not the heart of the servants, it’s the fact that Duke Cheng refused to return after negotiating peace, and then simply went to the realm of the golden man. Who knows how he came back? Your Majesty, I have to guard against it.”
The officials around were startled.
These words simply mean that Chengguo’s referendum is to rely on the golden people, and the wolf is ambitious.
This crime is really…
The emperor was obviously taken aback by this remark, but he was timid and never malicious to save others. Hearing this, he was in a panic and didn’t know how to refute it.
“Don’t talk nonsense, don’t talk nonsense.” He just waved his hands and said again and again, in order to escape this thought, he stepped
downstairs, “I’m going to see Duke Cheng, I believe in Duke Cheng.”
Cheng caught up and even knelt down and rushed over, hugging the emperor’s leg.
“Your Majesty, the minister cannot let His Majesty go to danger!” he shouted.
At this time, they had already arrived at the city, and all the civil and military officials saw this scene, and they were immediately stunned.
The eunuch’s inner servant was startled, and the Jinyi guards also drew out their waist knives.
Fortunately, the emperor stopped him in time and did not hack Huang Cheng to death as a traitor.
“Master Huang, what are you doing?” He looked at Huang Cheng’s gray hair and couldn’t bear to push it away, and stomped his feet in a hurry.
Other officials also gathered around, some pushing and some discouraging.
Huang Cheng just sat on the ground and couldn’t get up.
“Master Huang, if you feel it is dangerous, don’t let those refugees enter the city.” An official advised.
“That’s also dangerous. People who divert people into the city are dangerous. Even if I lose face and be scolded by everyone to avenge my personal revenge, I am a traitor in the eyes of the world, and I will never let Your Majesty take risks.” Huang Cheng shouted.
This scene made the civil and military officials talk a lot, and soon learned the whole story.
Ning Yunzhao, who was standing behind, smiled.
“This is Sapo rolling.” He said, and sighed a little, “Mr. Huang is fortunate to meet Renjun.”
The officials next to him did not care about discussing this, and lowered their voices a little impatiently.
“What do we do now?” he asked in a low voice.
When his words fell, more than half of the officials knelt down.
“Please, Your Majesty, go back to the palace.” They kowtowed and said, “Your Majesty must not be in danger.”
Seeing the officials who were kneeling in a hula la, and then listening to the advice, Huang, who sat on the ground with his head bowed, A sneer appeared on the corner of Cheng’s mouth.
Shame?
If a courtier does not lose face for the emperor, do you want the emperor to leave and return to the palace on his own initiative?
The Son of Heaven keeps his promises, and he can only be forced by others when he goes back on his promises.
He didn’t have to look up to know that the next moment, the emperor who was sympathetic to his subjects would have no choice but to go back to the palace.
Cheng Guogong will be hanged on the imperial street.
How about entering the city?
How about relying on public opinion?
You still don’t get what you want!
Is it alright after three levels?
As long as Huang Cheng is here for a moment, there will be the fourth level, the fifth level, Zhu Shan, the capital level is like a cage, and you won’t be able to break free if you break in.
Listening to the chaotic persuasion, the officials standing beside Ning Yunzhao became more anxious.
“What about us?” he asked.
To kneel or not to kneel?
To advise or not to advise?
“Of course I kneel.” Ning Yunzhao said, then he shook his sleeve and strode forward.
The officials around him didn’t react and followed subconsciously.
“Chen, congratulations, Your Majesty, His Majesty.”
A clear and pleasant voice sounded in the chaotic low and vague whimpering words, which made people feel like drinking a sweet spring, and the irritability disappeared.
However, at this time, congratulations and congratulations?
All the people looked for prestige, and the emperor also looked over, but when they saw a handsome and handsome young official Shi Ran approaching, he raised his hands and knelt down.
The seven or eight officials who followed behind him were also confused. How could they be congratulations?
Congratulations to Your Majesty for being so loyal as Huang Cheng to protect the Lord?
It doesn’t seem like it’s what I imagined…
but now I can only kneel down.
“Congratulations, Your Majesty, His Majesty.” Ning Yunzhao said again, looking at the emperor with a smile on his face, “Hundreds of thousands of people from the three counties returned to Zhou, and tens of thousands of people did not hesitate to travel thousands of miles to come to thank the emperor for his kindness. Your Majesty originally wanted to be Duke Chengguo. Praise, now it seems to be Duke Cheng, and it is the people of the North who have made praise for His Majesty.”
After saying that, I bowed again.
“Your Majesty this time, not only did the Jin people surrender, the vassals were given year-old coins, the ancestral temple comforted them, and hundreds of thousands of people did not abandon them, and tens of thousands of people came to the capital to pay their respects. Your majesty’s kindness can be learned from the world. The same is true of Yao and Shun.”
There is no one from the past and no future, and Yao and Shun are just like this.
The civil and military officials who heard these words were red-faced.
Your touted kung fu is unprecedented, right?
The smile at the corner of Huang Cheng’s mouth has dissipated, and people also raised their heads and looked at the young officials kneeling in the field.
Unexpectedly, it turned out that this was not a rabbit, but a tiger.
The worry and anxiety on the emperor’s face disappeared, replaced by a radiance.
Ning Yunzhao raised his head and looked at him sincerely.
Yes, His Majesty wants to save face, and he will not do things that are humiliating for others, but at the same time, of course, he is willing to do things that have face, instead of giving them to others.
It’s up to you to decide whether it’s more important to take other people’s face, or to save your own face.
All things are interests, there are no absolutes.
“Your Majesty.” Ning Yunzhao bowed again, “This is His Majesty’s great merit. When the whole world celebrates, His Majesty Hexi congratulates His Majesty.
”
Up to now, they have followed behind Ning Yunzhao, whether they say congratulations or not, in the eyes of everyone, in the eyes of the emperor, they are also with Ning Yunzhao.
“Congratulations, Your Majesty, His Majesty.” They simply shouted in unison.
It’s always a good word anyway.
That’s right, this is his great achievement. If he turns around and returns to the palace at this time, then the people of this northern land will only recognize the Duke and will only be grateful to Duke Cheng.
The greatness of the world is not the king’s land, and the coast of leading the land is not the king’s ministers.
This gong belongs to him, and he has to take it.
The emperor stood up straight, shook off Huang Cheng, and raised his hand high.
“Xuan.” He said loudly.
