Chapter 142: Tiger Ben's Food
Qi State, Wanping, Lizheng Palace. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Tai Lieutenant, the secretary of the military department, and General Hu Ben, you, who can give me an explanation?" Qi Lang sat in a golden purple dragon robe, standing upright on His Majesty the Imperial Rank, "Yesterday, if I didn't want to go to this Tiger Ben military camp, would you always treat me like a fool!"
When the words fell, there was a sound of "plopping" below, and the ministers all knelt on the ground, and the three people whose names he named were even more lonely in the center of the hall.
Qi Lang stood on this imperial step, looking down at the people below, and his face, which had never seen joy and sorrow, was gloomy at this time.
"Aren't all of them eloquent, and aren't they all so eloquent that they are loyal, and that's how you do your best to me. When Qi Lang spoke again, his tone was low, and the prestige around him seemed to spread in this Lizheng Palace, pressing the people below so much that they didn't dare to raise their heads, "General Hu Ben, you come, tell me about it, why do your subordinates not hesitate to die to admonish me." ”
General Hu Ben, who was named, heard the word "death", and his heart was "groaning". Yesterday, Qi Lang took the Seventh Prince and Prime Minister Wang Su to the Huben military camp. But in the camp, they were surrounded by the Tiger Ben Sergeant Regiment, and Zhou Bo, the general of the Tiger Ben Army who took the lead, kept saying that Qi Lang would uphold justice for their Tiger Ben Army.
This move can already be called a mutiny, but in Qi Lang's mouth, it is just a "dead admonition", which shows Qi Lang's attitude towards this matter.
"Your Majesty. "Tiger General Xu Lie prostrate on the ground, and his posture will be as humble as he is," the minister had no way to restrain his subordinates, and he even mutinied, almost disturbing His Majesty, it was the sins of the ministers, and it was difficult to atone for death. His Majesty asked His Majesty to ask the ministers and the leaders to ask for their sins together to show the world. ”
Qi Lang listened to his words, just smiled coldly, and said slowly: "Raise your head, look at me, and say it again." ”
Xu Lie couldn't, so he had to raise his head tremblingly, and then he opened his mouth and called out "Your Majesty", and then heard a loud "pop", and the book that Qi Lang was holding in his hand was thrown directly into Xu Lie's face, and the corners of his eyes became red and swollen.
Xu Lie was suddenly shocked by Qi Lang's action, and was stunned, but he didn't dare to move.
Captain Mu Ke, who knelt beside him, and Zhao Jie, the secretary of the military department, were also trembling in their hearts.
When Qi Lang was the prince, most people in Beijing called him "Yulang", one was to say that he was very beautiful, and the other was to say that he had a gentle temperament and was as beautiful as jade. He lost his mother at a young age, and when he was a teenager, he had already practiced the ability to be invisible, and the only time he lost his temper in front of the public was when he was 21 years old, vomiting blood and fainting in front of the temple. After that, Qi Lang in the Qingping period became a dignified king who always did not smile in front of himself. It's not that joy and anger are invisible, it's more like there is no emotion of joy and sorrow. And above the court, no matter what the ministers were, he had a calm posture, and ordered to raid the family and reward the heroes, but from the tone alone, he couldn't hear the difference.
And such an obvious anger is really unprecedented, and it has a bit of a weird and dumbfounded meaning.
"General Fangcai, didn't you hear what Your Majesty said was a death sentence, how did it become a mutiny in your mouth. Lin Zhengming opened his mouth just right at this time, because his daughter was already in the same situation as Taiwei and his party, and after the miscarriage, the thin layer of window paper on both sides had been torn open, and after tearing his face, he looked like he would never give up, "Punish the crime? I don't understand, who should be punished more." ”
Qi Lang's face softened a little, and when he looked at Lin Zhengming's eyes, it was rare to have some praise. Lin Zhengming has not received a response from Qi Lang for a while since he impeached Mu Ke last time and was disgraced.
"And the Hubu Shangshu, you tell me first, where did the military expenses of this tiger army go?" Qi Lang's face was still gloomy, and his tone returned to the appearance that he couldn't hear at all in the past, but he still stood on the imperial steps with his hands in his hands, looking down at the ministers who were still kneeling below, "It is said that you Lu Bin is an iron rooster, **** crying poor in front of me, this tiger Ben has such a huge amount of military expenses, how come the soldiers under him don't even have food and salary." ”
"Your Majesty. Lu Bin, who was named, was not in a hurry, and the calmness on his face did not seem to be fake, "The minister allocated the military department according to the amount agreed between His Majesty and the Ministry of War. Because His Majesty attaches great importance to the Tiger Ben Army, and the previous Tai Lieutenant Zeng Dao, when the Tiger Ben Army was established, the expenses were inevitably larger, so the minister allocated six months' military expenses to the military department at a time. All the account books are stamped with a large seal by officials above the rank of member of the household department and submitted to the military department. If Your Majesty still has doubts, you can ask someone to take the account books of the household department, and remember them one by one, and the seals of more than a dozen household officials are all stamped, and there can be no selfishness. ”
"Lu Qing's meaning is that this silver is a problem in the Ministry of War. ”
"The minister didn't dare, the minister just said that this matter had nothing to do with the household department under the minister's jurisdiction. ”
"Alright, don't kneel, get up. After listening to Lu Bin's reply, Qi Lang nodded lightly and slowly sat back on the dragon chair. There was a sound of "rustling" of the rubbing of official uniforms below, and the ministers all stood up in a hurry, but they didn't dare to move, and their numb legs and feet, which were already kneeling, still hung their heads, for fear of being affected by Qi Lang's anger.
"Zhao Shangshu, what do you have to say. Qi Lang's gaze on Zhao Jie was still sharp, "The Tiger Ben Army is my new army, and at the beginning of its creation, I issued several decrees, calling the six departments to take the Tiger Ben Army first, one should be dispatched with silver and two, and they would rather stick to other places to ensure the food and salary of the Tiger Ben Army." But how did you do it? The elite army called me practiced on a hungry stomach, and also lost the loyalty of the tiger and the whole people, so it was still only a dead admonition, and it did not shake Gyeonggi. If something happens, will you be able to take it?"
Mu Ke, who was kneeling on the side, heard Qi Lang never mention himself at every word, although he was still uneasy in his heart, he still vaguely guessed that it seemed that Qi Lang at this time did not want to blame himself, or that he did not want to knock himself down once.
You must know that Qi Lang was so angry today, but Wang Su didn't say a word. No matter how you look at it, Qi Lang's fire is exaggerated a little like acting.
Zhao Jie, who was kneeling on the ground, subconsciously went to look at Mu Ke after hearing Qi Lang's series of questions, and saw the faint look on Mu Ke's face, and his face turned gray when he landed.
Mu Ke is going to carry this matter down by himself, no matter what is behind it, it has come to an end for himself. (To be continued.) )
