The Sun Residence was not far from the Imperial Palace, but the ministers who could be summoned by the emperor in private could only enter and exit through the Donghua Gate.
So he had to follow the eunuch who summoned him. He went through the door like a fool and did not enter, all the way from the northwest corner of the inner city to the east of the imperial city.
Perhaps seeing that Sun Shaozong was too burly and majestic, the guards guarding the Donghua Gate specially brought him to the front room, and searched every inch twice, and almost pulled out the murder weapon in the crotch of his pants to measure the length.
After finally passing the 'security check', I followed the summoned eunuchs and walked around in the corridors of the palace wall, and I saw the light in front of me suddenly, and a magnificent hall flashed out.
Sun Shaozong knew that he had arrived at the place, and was about to cheer up and deal with it, when he heard a noise from the left side of the palace gate:
"Oh my God! What's wrong with this car, why is it broken at the door of Wenying Hall?!"
"What should I do, what should I do?! This is the Bi-Gong rice that has just been brought in as a tribute. If it gets spilled, our big guys won't be able to survive!"
Looking at the sound, not far to the left, a flatbed carriage full of rice was flipping on its side, and two eunuchs were jumping up and down around the carriage, shouting.
What a flamboyant acting!
Sun Shaozong just glanced at it and came to the above conclusion.
The hill on which the rice bundles were on the carriage seemed to have half of the wheel broken in two.
But how vicious are Sun Shaozong's eyes
Just swiping it casually, you can see several flaws.
The first is the wheel, which looks neatly fractured and shows no signs of being bent under force. It was clearly removed first and then cut off with a sharp weapon.
The second is the rice on the car, which had a rollover accident, and it was still neat and tidy, and there was no slight inclination - if it was tied very tightly, it would be fine, but it was just a few small strings. I'm afraid it's already scattered all over the place.
Of course, the most obvious flaw is the lines of the two little eunuchs—it is now in the cold winter and twelfth lunar month, and it is impossible to produce new rice, and in this world, how can there be a fool who dares to pay tribute to the emperor with old rice
Therefore, just relying on the words 'the green rice that just paid tribute' is enough to prove that this is a designed farce.
As for the purpose of their performance...
ah~
Sun Shaozong sighed helplessly, the actor who played the role was so bad, he really didn't want to be the protagonist!
It's a pity that the person who arranged this bad scene was the emperor, and he couldn't tolerate him shrinking back on the spot. If he offended the director, at most some scenes would be cut; if he offended the emperor, what was cut would be his life.
"These little brats!"
Summoning the eunuch pretended to complain, then turned around and explained to Sun Shaozong: "Wait outside, let's go ahead and report it for you."
"There is Mr. Lao."
Sun Shaozong hurriedly bowed and bowed.
When they went out, the cheap gothic explained that these eunuchs had better face, no matter what they thought in their hearts, at least the surface etiquette could not be lacking.
Of course, in addition to this, Sun Shaozu also took him to explain a lot of what he had and what he did not have. To sum it up, it was nothing more than eight words: "think more and say less, hide and show timidity".
'Thinking more and talking less' is easy to understand. As for the four words 'hiding clumsy and showing cowardice', it means to try to cover up one's shortcomings in front of the emperor, and at the same time not to appear too shrewd.
But it was said that the eunuch who summoned the eunuch had just entered the gate of Wenying Hall, and the third extra actor... Well, it was the third little eunuch who came on stage.
I saw him holding a wooden wheel in his arms, trotting all the way and shouting: "Come, come, the wheel is here!"
Seeing that this guy is as thin as Magen, but there is no sweat on his face, he knows that he must have been hiding behind the palace wall, waiting for the right opportunity to appear.
"Great!"
The two little eunuchs beside the carriage first cheered in unison, and then 'mumbled' in embarrassment: "But there are so many things on the carriage, how do we change the wheels?"
The reason why I put a quotation mark on the word 'mumble' is because these two people are talking so loudly that even an idiot can see that they are talking to Sun Shaozong on purpose.
Just listened to Eunuch A's suggestion: "How about unloading the rice from the car first?"
"Fuck you!"
Eunuch Yi pulled an orchid finger, poked a few times on Eunuch A's chest, and said coquettishly, "If you spill Gongmi, won't we all lose our heads?!"
The eunuch Ding suggested in a timely manner: "How about we find some big guards to help lift the car up, and then change the wheels."
As soon as the words fell, the three of them couldn't wait to turn their attention to Sun Shaozong.
This acting...
It just sucks, doesn't it? !
Sun Shaozong looked at them and panicked for them. Compared with these three, the face paralyzed little fresh meat can be regarded as the word 'professional'.
At this moment, the three eunuchs have already greeted each other: "Sir, this lord, can you help us?"
If this play hadn't been directed by the emperor, Sun Shaozong would have walked away!
Now…
He could only come to the 'center of the stage' step by step under the 'expecting' eyes of the three little eunuchs.
Seeing him approaching, Eunuch A immediately recited his lines cheerfully: "Sir, let's try it first, if it doesn't work, then go find other..."
Unexpectedly, before Eunuch A finished reading the lines, he saw Sun Shaozong grab the wheel with his hand, and stretched out his hand to hold the bottom of the car. The card slot was aligned with the axle, and he slapped it in.
"All right."
Gently putting the 1,000-pound carriage back on the ground, Sun Shaozong waved his hand with little interest: "No thanks, goodbye."
The three eunuchs watched him go back to the door of Wenying Palace in a daze, and they were stunned for a long time before they remembered that there was a line of 'the general's mighty force' that he forgot to say.
Not to mention how many alpacas are galloping in the hearts of the three little eunuchs.
Not long after Sun Shaozong returned to the door of Wenying Hall, he saw the eunuch who summoned him came out, flicked his whisk, and said in a shrill voice: "Your Majesty has a decree, Sun Shaozong, commander of the Xuanlong Imperial Guard, enter the hall to face the saint! "
Sun Shaozong quickly restrained his disapproval, bowed his waist, and respectfully followed the eunuch into the hall.
The eunuch summoned also knew that he had not been trained in the Ministry of Rites, so he entered the palace gate and led him a few steps forward, and then reminded in a low voice, "Don't hurry and see Long Live Lord."
After speaking, he cupped his hands in front of him and said, "Your Majesty, Sun Shaozong has already brought it here."
Sun Shaozong didn't have time to see what the emperor looked like, so he hurriedly knelt down and said, "Long live, Sun Shaozong, the last general, long live!"
After waiting for a while, someone answered indifferently, "Be flat."
Sun Shaozong took advantage of the effort to get up, and secretly glanced at it, but saw a half-hundred-year-old man sitting behind the bright yellow desk. Thirteen years old, and now nine years have passed, it is naturally over half a hundred years old.
Emperor Guangde had been on the throne for nine years. Although he was unable to fully control the political situation due to the existence of the Emperor Taishang, the aura of this long-standing body was far beyond comparison with other people, especially the pair of slender eyes that were half-open and half-closed, which made it even more difficult. Guess what he was thinking.
However, more than Emperor Guangde, Sun Shaozong cared more about the middle-aged minister not far in front of him, who was staring at him.
Who is this person
"Sun Shaozong."
Sun Shaozong was guessing the identity of the minister, when Emperor Guangde asked casually, "I heard that you just helped the little eunuchs to support a carriage full of tribute rice?"
tsk~
This is really called 'knowingly asking'!
While Sun Shaozong murmured, he quickly and honestly told what happened just now.
Emperor Guangde was noncommittal after hearing this, but turned to the minister and asked, "What does Uncle Yong Yi think?"
"Go back to Your Majesty!"
Uncle Yong Yi bowed and said categorically: "I think this person should be dismissed and investigated, and never hired!"
Dismissal investigation? never hired? !
When Sun Shaozong heard this, he was a little dumbfounded.
Just listening to Uncle Yong Yi explain: "I can't even see through such a simple setup, it shows that he is a mediocre person - Qianxiang's embassy mixed in with spies, resulting in the assassination of the imperial envoy, all because of his incompetence!"
After a pause, he continued: "As for chasing the murderer for half a day, it's really a strange story. I think it's either his luck or the intention of the messenger behind the scenes. It's really not enough! Therefore, the minister thought that it was like this cast. It is useless to keep the mediocre people who made a big mistake, it is better to be dismissed from office."
I'm going!
After hearing this, Sun Shaozong was really speechless.
He kindly cooperated with the emperor in acting, but who knew that people didn't play cards according to the routine, and he was dubbed a 'mediocre'!
