Chapter 348: The Emperor Also Has Troubles
Mai Ke wanted to take the so-called holy decree and go back and read it slowly, and said in his heart, wouldn't it be embarrassing to open it now if there were words he didn't know?
In his impression, the ancient text was already very difficult, and the emperor's works had to be taken to a higher level, and his emperor's level could not be shown without some obscure and difficult characters.
Seeing Li Hongzhang's eager gaze staring at him, Mai Ke knew how unrealistic his idea was. Also, it is difficult for him to deal with it if he does not bring his response back.
So, Mai Ke had to reluctantly open the yellow package, take out the edict inside, and see what was written.
At first glance, it's okay, call him "Yishi Mai Ke", not called Aiqing, Xianchen, or anything. Then looking down, Mai Ke let go of his fear.
The emperor used more casual language, first of all, he thanked Mai Ke for coming forward, being loyal to the country, and sharing worries for me. Then he said that he did not decide to send troops, and he was really too weak to do so.
"Outside the Qing Empire, there are strong captives who are spying on and encroaching on, and there are people in turmoil inside; the eighteen provinces, the provinces and provinces are all restless, and the twenty subject countries are ready to move.
"I am very pleased to hear that the righteous people rose from Qingping, went to the country, saved water and fire, and relieved the upside down.
"The righteous are hereby allowed to act cheaply without waiting for the approval of the government at all levels. The entire Annam region is arbitrary, and only I am accountable.
"If the righteous man can really solve the dispute in southern Xinjiang, I will not hesitate to list the land and crown the king, so as to reward the righteous man for his meritorious work. ”
Mai Ke's level of ancient writing, just look at this, it seems that this emperor's little brother is quite sensitive, and can take care of the reading level of the letter recipient.
Look further down. There is no content, only the four big characters of "Yubi Himself", and the previous handwriting, are obviously from one hand.
Although this Xianfeng Emperor did not leave many ink treasures, he still had them. Mai Ke also happened to study two paintings, both of which were his posthumous works not long after he became emperor. At that time, he still wanted to make a difference and tried his best to make a difference.
Therefore, Mai Ke roughly compared this private letter with the handwriting of the imperial pen in his memory. I knew that this was indeed Emperor Xianfeng's handwriting.
"Mr. Mai Ke. There is also a private letter from my teacher, which I also want to hand over to you. As he spoke, Li Hongzhang handed over another letter. Mai Ke also took it.
When I opened it, it was written to him by Zeng Guofan. This Confucian in the late Qing Dynasty obviously knew more about Mai Ke's ancient literary background. Speak as plainly as possible.
"Mai Ke, my brother is not harmed, I know the temperament of the virtuous brother. I will definitely go to the barren land. I will do my best to ask the Holy God to give the virtuous brother the right to do it cheaply.
"Don't be foolish in the rest of the matter, just give advice on one thing: it is not my race. His heart will be different. If possible, be sure to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, so as to reap the effect once and for all!
"I wish the virtuous brother success! The foolish brother waits for the virtuous brother to triumph and drinks the wine of celebration!"
Sure enough, the insights are good, worthy of everyone!
Mai Ke didn't say much, smiled slightly, and handed over the letter and the holy decree to the six strokes next to him.
Then he said to Li Hongzhang: "Xie Lu, thank you for your hard work! Go back and tell the emperor, I, Mai Ke, will definitely promote the prestige of the country and save my Huahan people; ”
After speaking, he also thanked Lao Chongguang and Xiang Rong: "The military affairs are in a hurry, I will send the three adults away!"
The three of them were not polite, anyway, the matter was done, and they immediately got on their horses and left.
Feng Zicai, who was the first to deliver the letter, had been eagerly watching the expedition, and when the three bosses left, he had to reluctantly get on the horse and leave.
Mai Ke looked at his expression, and suddenly remembered that he was going to fight him, so he shouted: "Please stay at the military gate!"
Xiang Rong reined in surprise and looked back at Mai Ke. This kid is walking briskly, probably because of the relationship between the people, with a smile on his face that makes people want to get close.
Li Hongzhang and the others also stopped, not knowing what kind of reputation Lu Dao Mai Ke had. At this time, Feng Zicai also followed several of his superiors.
"What's the matter?" asked Xiang Junmen suspiciously.
"I want to ask Lord Junmen for a favor, I don't know if the Junmen is willing?"
Xiang Junmen said in his heart, the Holy Capital has sent you a holy decree from afar today, can I say no? Just beg you not to open your mouth widely.
"The righteous are deep and barren, which is admirable, but they can't go together. Say, as long as I can do it, I will give it my full support! I want people, things, and money...... Not really. Xiang Rong grinned embarrassedly, his own people have been in arrears for two months, where is the money?
Mai Ke smiled secretly in his heart, and couldn't help but have a good impression of this straightforward soldier. Directly to him: "I don't want money, I don't want things, just one person, we need to go deep into the rear of the enemy, and we need a soldier who understands the situation to lead the way!"
"Do I have such a person?" Xiang Rong didn't know if there were any such people under him, and when he heard it, he felt a headache.
"Yes! Of course there is! The military men have hidden dragons and crouching tigers, and naturally there are many talents. I just want one of them. ”
"Who?"
"Far away in the sky, close in front of you, it's this General Feng and Brother Zicai!" said Feng Zicai. If he doesn't specify it, it is estimated that Xiang Junmen will not be able to match the number at all.
This Feng Zicai was still there thinking about whether to volunteer, he flattered himself and barely met Mai Ke's requirements, where did he know that he had already been remembered, and this trap was tailor-made for him.
Only then did Xiang Rong notice this Qing soldier who came to deliver the letter, what kind of general was he, just a big-headed soldier. However, he also has some impressions, and he seems to be quite clever and has good martial arts. However, is there still a lack of such a person in a large army? Since Mai Ke wants it, give it to him!
So, he is also very good at being a man, and he immediately gave Feng Zicai a third-level promotion and gave him a military position of a thousand generals. This is also the biggest promotion he can do.
He didn't expect that such a random sum would bring him infinite returns.
The happiest is Feng Zicai!
For Xiang Rong's generous release and surprise promotion, of course he was grateful - if it weren't for such an opportunity, it would take at least ten or eight years to get to this level if it weren't for such an opportunity, and it would take at least ten or eight years to get to this level. It also has to go smoothly everywhere, plus the head is tucked in the belt of the trousers, and the birth and death are safe and sound.
But the irreplaceable gratitude is to Mai Ke! How did he know that I was familiar with the situation in Annan? How did he know that I wanted to go on an expedition like them? Why did he name me to go? At least there were four or five people under the same general who were worse than me!
The death of a confidant - that's how it happened!
Feng Zicai's heart is now full of the grace of Mai Ke's knowledge, thinking that it was Mai Ke's vast supernatural powers and discerning eyes that selected him from the crowd.
As everyone knows, he was able to be branded by Mai Ke because of his own accumulated military exploits and fame.
Digging up this most famous national hero of the late Qing Dynasty, Mai Ke was open-minded, and he didn't bother to say goodbye to Li Hongzhang and others, so he started to move, and all the expeditionary forces, including Feng Zicai, disappeared in a blink of an eye.
Only the three well-informed adults were left rubbing their eyes there. (To be continued......)
