Chapter 473: Good and evil will be rewarded in the end
"Your thoughts, the old man knows, the old man is telling you now, from now on, the old man will be the first to enter the camp!"
Of course, Li Xuan knew that these princes and grandsons would not be convinced if they didn't say it, so to convince them that it was not enough for only the prince's children to enter the camp, he must also be ahead of others. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Sure enough, after his decision was announced in public, it caused a small discussion in the crowd, and then someone immediately said on the spot:
"Lao Zongzheng has taken the lead, why are we juniors still stunned? Enter the camp, enter the camp!"
With the echo of one person, the echo sound one after another. Seeing that the situation was developing in the direction he wanted, Li Xuan nodded secretly, these dolls finally did not disappoint themselves, I hope that Qin Jin's method can temper a few real talents.
To be honest, in his opinion, the crown prince Li Heng's ability is not outstanding, and his body does not seem to be very strong, if he falls, I am afraid that even choosing a barely qualified successor will become a problem. Now there is no way to test the real gold with fire.
The total number of princes and grandsons, including Li Heng's fourteen sons, was more than 300, and these people were divided into four battalions, two male battalions and two female battalions according to the roster in the hands of the eunuchs, and each battalion was only about 80 people. The reason why a mere hundred people should be divided into four battalions was also a decision that Qin Jin and the prince had fully discussed.
Don't look at these princes and grandsons who have only lived in the East Palace for a few days, but they have already ganged up and intrigued with each other, if they are still gathered together, this situation is afraid that it will be difficult to improve overnight. Now separating all the people who are suddenly related to each other is tantamount to breaking the interpersonal pattern that has just been formed, so that the camp supervisor sent by the Shenwu Army can also start to rectify it.
Qin Jin didn't give them more time to prepare, and the camp began immediately, and the four groups of people were taken out of the East Palace and into a military camp south of the Imperial City. This was originally a garrison for the Yulin Army, but during the chaos, the Yulin Army was also scattered, so what they entered was just an empty camp.
There are also 500 selected private warriors stationed with the princes and grandchildren, and in addition to being responsible for the safety of the princes and grandchildren, there is also a use for urging the transformation of the princes and grandchildren.
It is indeed a transformation, Qin Jin did not intend to let these people be pampered in the barracks.
Now that it is winter, the breath can even become frost, which is indeed a small test for the pampered princes and grandchildren. Fortunately, the conditions and facilities of the military camp of the Yulin Army are not bad, the twenty of them live in one room, and all of them live in it, and half of the houses in the barracks are still empty.
Li Xuan, the king of Bian, was one of the few sons of Li Longji who remained in Chang'an, and he couldn't help but sigh and sigh when he looked at the nineteen people in the room. Although he is not the oldest here, he is the oldest, and many people still call him uncle, or uncle. However, now it is unbearable, with the dignity of the dignified king and the elders, they have to live in the same room with these juniors.
"Uncle, it's cold outside, it's still snowing, come into the house and warm up, the carbon just filled in the copper furnace is hot!"
The person who talked to him was Li Yi, the fifth son of King Ji, and King Ji himself hurriedly fled from Beijing with the Son of Heaven, and only had time to take away his sister-in-law when he left, and he couldn't take care of the rest of the concubines. Concubines like Li Yi, who were abandoned by their fathers, accounted for more than half of this military camp.
Li Yu really wanted to be tougher and protested in the heavy snow, but her legs and feet were numb from the cold, and finally she only sighed and followed Li Yi into the house. The room was steaming hot, and a group of people sitting around the copper stove hurriedly made room for him. finally gave him the respect that his elders deserved.
"The team is here!"
There was a sudden sound outside, and then the door that had just been closed was opened again. Three middle-aged men in leather armor strode in.
The leader stood still at the door, did not speak immediately, but first glanced at the crowd, and then said coldly:
"The team deputy is named according to the roster!"
This is the rule of the private sector, and the team will be divided into three roll calls every day, which has long been a habit for the people in the private sector.
"Li Qing, Li Qing ......"
After calling three times in a row, no one answered, and the team suddenly said:
"I forgot to make it clear to you, the rules in the camp are that the roll call is held once a day in the morning, noon and evening, and those who are selected have to say 'yes', do you understand?"
More than 20 people are all princes and grandsons, and now these soldiers dare to call them by their names, which is tantamount to an insult imposed on them.
The team immediately felt their anger and added:
"I just heard that the roll call next door and Zong Zhengqing have done a good job in accordance with the rules of the camp, otherwise I will report your current performance, I'm afraid it will be ......."
After that, the team didn't pay attention to the disbelief of the princes and grandsons, and turned his head to explain to the team deputy next to him:
"Re-roll call!"
"Li Qing ......"
"Yes. ”
This person was obviously a person who didn't want to cause more trouble, so he obediently agreed.
"Li Yi ......"
"Yes. ”
The voice of the answer is not very colorful, but it can always be heard clearly. With these two men taking the lead, the rest of the people answered in the same way.
Li Yu ...... Li Xu?"
When it was the turn of Bianwang Li Xu, no one answered two times in a row, and everyone's eyes looked at him in unison. Li Yu was taken aback by everyone's reaction, and involuntarily responded.
The team smiled with great satisfaction, and seemed to be faintly relieved.
"My name is Zhao Gongming, and from today onwards, I will be the leader of your team by the order of the prince, and everything will be handled in accordance with the rules of the camp, and I will not make things difficult or conniving. ”
Team Zheng Zhao Gongming finally stopped keeping a straight face and smiled, and the princes and grandsons were also much more relaxed, and some of them even asked him questions:
"The team is from Togi Province?"
Zhao Gongming smiled, "I came from Shaanxi County, thanks to Qin Envoy Jun to take me in, or I would have become a lonely ghost long ago!"
There were still people who wanted to speak again, but Zhao Gongming interrupted them.
"Everyone, please slow down, I still have something to say. At the order of the crown prince, each person has a certain amount of work to be completed every day, and if there is not enough time today, it will be counted from tomorrow. ”
After that, Zhao Gongming waved his hand, and soon someone brought in two large bales of hay.
"There is a shortage of straw ropes in the army, and the work of rubbing straw ropes is not very difficult, so I will work for you. Today, I will give a demonstration first, and then practice my hands well, otherwise I will not be able to complete the prescribed number tomorrow, and the amount of food will be halved. ”
This explanation made the twenty princes and grandsons completely boiling.
It is enough to put them in this barracks to suffer and be humiliated, and to be such lowly fellows, is it necessary to treat them as coolies serving prison sentences?
In this regard, Zhao Gongming seemed to have been prepared, and hurriedly shouted in his voice:
"Don't be impatient, don't be impatient, Zong Zhengqing has already taken the lead in rubbing the straw rope, is there anyone here who is more respectful than Zong Zhengqing......'s status?
Zong Zhengqing Li Xuan's warning in the East Palace is still fresh in everyone's memory, and he only complained a few words and immediately lost his temper, besides, even Zong Zhengqing took matters into his own hands, if they continue to make trouble, I am afraid that they will incur a terrible punishment. Thinking of Princess Lecheng's killing, everyone felt a chill.
……
Princess Le Cheng was lying on the cold couch, her body twitching from time to time, and her mouth let out a painful moan. Thirty whips were given on her back, and the palace maid who performed the torture used enough strength to whip her flesh, making her originally smooth back flesh and blood blur.
"Come on, come on, I hurt, it hurts, it hurts me...... Is there anyone ......"
A heart-rending cry echoed in the empty room, the charcoal stove in the four corners was already cold, and she lay on the couch in pain, no one cared, fear, anger, and sadness mixed together and turned into crying and tears.
"I can't imagine that it will be reported so soon, right?"
After a long time, a voice answered her coldly, and the tone was even colder than the chill in the big house.
"It's you, little slut......"
Princess Lecheng was inexplicably sad and indignant, because it was Wei Wei who was standing beside her.
Wei Yao's gaze scanned back and forth over her bloody back, and the corners of her mouth hooked up with a touch of disdain and a hint of pity. In Princess Lecheng's feelings, Wei Wei's gaze was like a whip of torture, and every blow embarrassed her to the extreme.
A moment later, Wei Wan walked into her gently, and Princess Lecheng was terrified, struggling, and screaming:
"You, what are you going to do? Don't come, don't look here......"
There was not much hatred in Wei Yao's voice, but there was a hint of sympathy.
"Don't move, I'm here to put medicine on you to heal your wounds, the people around you have long been dismissed, don't let me come, do you want to wait here until the wounds fester, freeze and starve to death?"
"You ......"
Princess Le Cheng was going to say a few cruel words, but the pain in her back was unbearable, and the room was so cold that she thought that she might really die a very cruel death, and the whole person collapsed immediately, and she couldn't even lift her face in front of Wei Yao.
"Help me, save me, cold ......"
Princess Le Cheng is cold, hungry and sore now, she has been golden branches and jade leaves since her next life, brocade clothes and jade food, how can she ever suffer such suffering and humiliation?
"I'll save you! But I'm not going to save you. Even if you die twice, it's enough for Zong Zhengqing to spare your life, lie down, don't move......"
Wei Wan pressed Princess Lecheng's writhing shoulders and applied the plaster little by little to the sore spot on her back.
"That old immortal, you might as well kill me, ah!"
Princess Le Cheng didn't dare to speak disrespectfully to Wei Xuan now, but scolded Zong Zhengqing Li Xuan, after all, Wei Xuan could make her uncomfortable anytime and anywhere, but at the beginning of the scolding, Wei Hao's hand that applied the ointment to the affected area increased her strength, and she almost fainted from the pain, and she no longer had the energy to scold Li Xuan.
After applying the ointment, Wei Wei filled the charcoal stove with charcoal and lit a fire, all of which she learned after entering the East Palace.
