Chapter 222: Asking for help
The military tent was silent, and Captain Xiao hung his head silently, unable to give General Qi any advice.
Emperor Qianyuan favored Gu Tianze to the extreme, and he could make a big move because of his knighthood, but now Emperor Qianyuan is obviously unwilling to grind with the ministers in the court, and directly pave the way for Gu Tianze to be knighted for military merits.
"Captain Xiao, how is Master Gu's ability?"
General Qi admired Captain Xiao from the capital.
Xiao Xiaowei did not rely on the gentlemen of the General's Mansion, he was honest and resolute, and although his method of using soldiers was a little immature, he was also quite disciplined.
For Gu Tianze, the news that General Qi heard the most was the Holy Grace and the illegitimate son of Emperor Qianyuan, who was privately rumored.
Captain Xiao arched his hand and said: "If I still have the eyes of the general, Lord Gu will surprise the general, his natural resources, and his attainments in the art of war are far from being comparable to me, and Lord Gu's riding and archery kung fu has been extremely outstanding after hard training and cultivation by famous teachers, and ten of me tied together may not be able to compare with Lord Gu." Capital...... The soldiers under his command are brave and good at fighting, and the lieutenants and lieutenants are not low-born, and most of them are generals, but they are willing to sacrifice their lives to follow Lord Gu, and they are also convinced that Lord Gu can lead them to win any opponent. ”
"Does he have real skills? It's not Your Majesty......"
"Your Majesty is a promising gentleman, no matter how much you pamper Lord Gu, you won't mess around with Jiangshan Sheji. In the past, there were many unconvinced people who thought that Lord Gu relied on His Majesty and Dingguo Gong, but now those people are all convinced, and they are being subdued by Lord Gu. ”
General Qi's face gradually softened after hearing this, who doesn't want to be the most beautiful general?
At present, although the indigenous people of Miao Jiang are forced to a desperate situation, it is not easy to win in one go.
"Do you say, do I write this request for help or not?"
"I don't know."
Captain Xiao bowed his head. The sound is extremely soft. "The general is hard. The last general and the brothers can see it, and it is expected that His Majesty also knows it, and the Jinyi Guard went south to collect intelligence information, and it can be seen that His Majesty's determination is very great. Once there is a change in the front, Jinyiwei will inevitably be informed by His Majesty. ”
General Qi sat up straight, sweat on his forehead, "Jinyi Wei ......"
"The last general heard that the person who went out of Beijing this time was not the ordinary flag chief, but the actual controller of Jinyiwei now-Lord Fusi Lu in Zhenbei. The general operated in the southwest for many years. is intricately intertwined, and it is inevitable to have grudges with others, what Lu Yanxun is best at is to get to the bottom of it, and there is no news in the world that he can't ask. At the same time, he also implemented the 'customs' of Jinyiwei very well. ”
What are the customs of factory guards?
Naturally, it came out of nothing.
A little bit of a little thing can make a monstrous case through the operation of the factory and guard.
How many of the officials are as clean as a blank sheet of paper?
General Qi also embezzled military salaries, ate empty salaries, and treated the people as bandits.
He was always above the bottom line of Emperor Qianyuan, and no one pursued him.
However, if he is not interested, his pigtails are all over his head, and Jin Yiwei can clean up as much as he wants.
General Qi had palpitations. is like an ant on a hot pot in a dilemma, "Is there anyone in the capital who is unfair to me?" After all, I'm afraid that the war report will have already entered the cabinet. Will rashly asking for help at this time cause turmoil in the imperial court? ”
At this time, he was already inclined to ask for help, but he was only slightly unwilling.
Xiao Xiaowei said: "The last general knows that the Duke of Dingguo and the Marquis of Xining will protect Lord Gu. ”
Among the military nobles of the national dynasty, who has the prestige of Xining Marquis and Dingguo Gong?
One is a relative of the emperor but personally went to the battlefield to fight for some feats, and the other started from the end of the micro, can attack and defend well, attack everything, and are born to be blessed, their attitude is enough to determine the opinion of the military.
"And the cabinet ministers still owe Lord Gu a favor."
"What?"
"Two years ago, His Majesty originally planned to send eunuchs as prisoners or assign eunuchs to sit in prosperous places, but it was Lord Gu who made His Majesty change his mind. And...... Lord Liu took over as the governor of the northwest and has already left the capital to take up his post, His Majesty insists on knighting Lord Gu, no one can stop him, it is better to ...... It is better to be knighted with military merits, and the important ministers of the court cannot withstand the thunder and wrath of His Majesty. ”
Captain Xiao told everything he knew.
"Let me think again, think again."
"The last will be retired."
General Qi waved his hand to let Lieutenant Xiao leave, he shrank into a chair, and listened to His Majesty's hints, His Majesty would definitely not treat him badly, not only was he not guilty of the past, but he might also be rewarded better than his military merits.
But he is also a general, and he can't give up the temptation of killing enemies and making a name for himself.
Just when he hesitated and stood still, the arrival of Lu Yanxun, the northern Fusi of Jinyi Wei Town, became the last straw that crushed him.
Embroidered spring knife, flying fish suit, Lu Yanxun has long lost the weakness and incompetence of a white-faced scholar, surrounded by Jinyiwei, the official authority on his body is heavier, and a pair of cold eyes are forced to breathe.
General Qi hosted a banquet to entertain Lu Yanxun, and prepared valuable 'gifts' according to Lu Yanxun's preferences.
During the conversation, General Qi also mostly befriended the high-ranking Zhenbei Fusi, hinting that further cooperation could be achieved.
However, Lu Yanxun refused his generous gift, acting like a businessman, and he walked away without even waiting for the aftershow to start.
It embarrassed General Qi.
"Adult ......"
"Send this letter to General Qi."
Lu Yanxun ordered his subordinates, "Make every effort to thoroughly investigate General Qi, if you don't know how to lift, add some material to me, and the left and right will not be clean." ”
"Yes."
framed, the factory guard recognized the second, and no one dared to admit the first.
Lu Yanxun refused any invitation from officials in the southwest and concentrated on gathering information.
He was at ease at the post station in the other courtyard, scaring the officials in the southwest enough, the horror of the living Hades had spread to Sichuan, and no one wanted to be Lu Yanxun's ghost.
Hearing that Lu Yanxun came for General Qi, officials in Sichuan reported that General Qi had a lot of people, and they tried to send this plague god away as soon as possible.
Although General Qi was on the front line, the news of Chuanzhong also reached his ears smoothly, and the situation became more and more tense, which became more and more unfavorable to him.
There was no reply to the contact with the capital, and General Qi had a hunch that Xu is a colleague in the capital had given up on him.
He leaned back in the handsome chair and muttered, "Is it fair?" Who can say that it is unfair? ”
On the desk in front of him, there was a blank note, if he didn't write it today, tomorrow Jinyiwei might send his corruption and empty salary back to the capital, "That's it, that's it." ”
Lifting the pen and being lucky, General Qi wrote the word "help" on the fold.
Once you start it, it goes well with the rest of the writing.
He exaggerated the predicament he faced, as if if the natives of Miao Jiang might fight back if he was not careful, and at the same time he also wrote a lot about the benefits of taking Miao Jiang to the dynasty......
This excerpt was transmitted back to the capital at the fastest speed through the Jinyiwei channel.
Lu Yanxun curled the corners of his mouth with satisfaction, threw the collected incriminating evidence into the brazier, and the flames that rose up devoured the paper and warmed Lu Yanxun's cold and gloomy face.
"Are you going back to Beijing?"
"Not going back."
Lu Yanxun shook his head and said: "This person has been in business for many years, and I can understand his unwillingness, but if he is unwilling to ruin Lord Gu's future, I will never tolerate it. ”
"Yes."
****
Qianqing Palace, the Great Dynasty, Emperor Qianyuan ascended to the dragon chair, and the courtiers stood on both sides.
Only then did Gonggong Huaien read aloud the Sichuan Emergency Report on the order of Emperor Qianyuan, and most of the courtiers had solemn faces when they heard it, thinking that it would be easy to win against the indigenous people of Miaojiang and greatly increase the prestige of the country, but how could there be an illusion that the former army was in a trap?
The civil and military are different, and the Wenchen only saw that the situation was not good from the report, and the military generals ...... Xining Hou and Dingguo Gong didn't speak, so others naturally didn't say much.
Of course, the ministers and the delicate-minded Wenchen will also find that there is something greasy here, and seeing that Emperor Qianyuan looks like he wants to increase his troops, they wisely choose to shut up.
Increasing the number of troops will make the capture of Miaojiang smoother.
"Who won this battle for me?"
"I want to go."
Several generals stood up, and Dingguo Gong sighed silently, it was about Aze's future...... He simply remained silent.
Xining Hou's voice was loud, "You can't make it." ”
Emperor Qianyuan was not very happy after seeing the performance of Dingguo Gong, he was originally an eccentric person, but the Marquis of Xining's arrogant protection won his heart, "Aze, are you willing to go out for me?" ”
"Minister...... Yes, sir. ”
Gu Tianze knelt on one knee, as if promising a trivial matter, raised his eyes to meet Emperor Qianyuan's eyes, and said confidently: "The minister will not let Your Majesty down." ”
ps There is one more change in the evening, and there is a double change today. (To be continued......)
