Chapter 103 Section 12

Chang'an is still the same as before. I came back, but I still can only go to Chen Sui, waiting for the opportunity silently in loneliness. The good news finally came. Chen Sui, who was appreciated by the chariot general Xu Jia, finally recommended me to Xu Jia, and I was able to get to know Gan Yanshou, the great hero of the year. Gan Yanshou is nearly fifty years old, but his hands and feet are as vigorous as a young man's.Although I think I have always maintained the habit of practicing bow and horse, but I still have no chance of winning in a competition with him, even though he is much older than me.

Late that night, I was called into Weiyang Palace. It's not the first time I've seen the night view of Weiyang Palace. The tall eaves of the palace show a hideous silhouette in the dark night, which symbolizes the supreme imperial power.But in the past, I used to be a doctor with a halberd, and I was responsible for guarding a specific hall, and I never dared to enter the hall.This is the first time that I, as an official discussing political affairs, was called into the Greenhouse Hall in a dignified manner. The hall of the greenhouse is brightly lit, and the four corners of the hall are lit with oil lamps in the shape of branches. There are hundreds of lights flickering in the hall.Xu Jia was sitting on the east side of the greenhouse hall.The seat directly south is a middle-aged man in his forties, wearing black embroidered casual clothes and wearing a leather bezel studded with pearls on his head.To the west are Tingwei Chen Sui and Gan Yanshou.Although the light was dim, I still seemed to see scratches on Chen Sui's face.

An eunuch hurried to my side and said softly, "Hurry up and pay homage to His Majesty the Emperor." I was startled, I didn't expect to see the emperor.I hurriedly took two steps, knelt down in front of the emperor, bowed first, and said in my mouth: "Cao Mang Chen Shanyang Buyi Chen Tang pays homage to His Majesty the Emperor!" The emperor waved his hand and said, "No, please sit down." Xu Jia spoke at this moment: "Your Majesty, this is the Chen Tang that I recommended to Your Majesty." "Very good." The emperor turned his head to me and said, "I have read all your policy books carefully. The writing is gorgeous, your knowledge is extraordinary, and you are indeed talented. If I send you to the Western Regions, you can guarantee that you will be better than son-in-law Jian and Che Shiwu." Is the Tuntian District of Jixiaowei safe?"

I said loudly: "I don't dare to guarantee my life, but I will definitely do everything possible to eliminate your majesty's worries." The emperor seemed a little surprised, and said with a smile: "You dare to ask Ying to go to the Western Regions to guard, and you are so regretful?" "I don't dare to spare my life." I said, "What is the life of a dog and a horse? Is it worth using it to guarantee the safety of the Western Regions? If the Western Regions are really ill, beheading the minister a thousand times is not enough to take responsibility, so the minister I can only guarantee it with the whole heart of my minister."

"Very good." The emperor exclaimed happily, "It is said that you know the mountains and rivers of the Western Regions like the back of your hand." "I have lived in Kangju in the Western Regions for two years. Every time I pass by a mountain, I will draw a picture to record it. Even if I am dreaming, I can know where there are rivers and where there are mountains." The emperor nodded heavily, and said with a smile, "Very good, very good." He shifted his gaze to Chen Sui, and said decisively, "Chen Sui listens to the order." Chen Sui hurriedly ran to the emperor and knelt down. His legs and feet didn't seem to be very flexible. When he knelt down, he almost collapsed. Fortunately, he straightened up and knelt up straight away.

The emperor said: "I worship you as Guang Luxun, in charge of the protection of the palace." Chen Sui said, "Thank you, Your Majesty." The emperor said: "Make a seal and ribbon for Mr. Chen." The two eunuchs immediately stepped forward, took off Chen Sui's original seal and ribbon of the imperial court officer, and replaced it with the seal ribbon of Guanglu Xun.Ting Wei and Guang Luxun are both one of the nine ministers, and they are both in the middle of the two thousand stones. They seem to have the same status.But Guang Luxun is the chief guarding the emperor in the palace, but Ting Wei is just a judge in charge of judging cases.In the early days of Dahan.Ting Wei once ranked second in the Jiuqing, but now, his status is far worse than before.Chen Sui moved to Guang Lu Xun, which can be said to be a promotion.

Chen Sui married Yinshou, Xie En withdrew. "Gan Yanshou listens to the order." The emperor said again. Gan Yanshou also hurried to the emperor, and the emperor said: "I worship you as the captain of the cavalry, the counselor, the governor of the Western Regions, and the captain of the envoy of the Western Regions. Tomorrow morning, I will go to Wulei City in the Western Regions in a sent car to replace the current Duhu Dao Wannian." There is a document delivered directly to Guang Luxun, and Guang Luxun forwarded it to me." Two eunuchs ran up again to seal and ribbon Gan Yanshou.I was so excited that I couldn't breathe. It seems that my wish for many years will finally come true today.Gan Yanshou was suddenly promoted from a commoner to a captain who is more than two thousand stones and the guardian of the Western Regions. I can't be too bad.

My heart was pounding, and I heard the emperor calling me again: "Chen Tang listens to the decree." Dazed, I ran up to the emperor, and as soon as I knelt down, I heard the emperor say: "My lord, I have decided to worship you as the deputy captain of the Northern Army's middle base, to assist Gan Yanshou to go to Wulei City in the Western Regions, and to guard the three soldiers in the Western Regions." Sixteen kingdoms, be on guard against the Huns' rebellion." He faced Chen Sui again, "The king recommends his son, thinking that his talent is outstanding, and he can calm the western regions. .”

Chen Sui said loudly: "If the recommendation is improper, I am willing to be punished according to the law." The three of us knelt in a row, thanked the emperor, and slowly exited the greenhouse hall.At this time, the sky was already bright, and in the blue sky of Chang'an, a group of wild geese were flying happily.I looked at the sky, then at the green ribbon around my waist and the shiny silver seal, and stood there for a long time, tears streaming down my face.
