Chapter Twenty-Three: Receiving the Ringing Horse
Chenxing said: "Falling into the grass is better than going back and looking at the faces of those old antiques." Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ infoIt's rare that you have this road, I don't take it yet, am I a fool? β
Si Ling was worried about him: "I'm afraid that your son will become a robber, and I don't know what the result will be." You can't adapt to such a life. β
Chenxing can see it: "The wind and the moon are whistling, the rivers and lakes are tolerant, this is already a good life, what else do you want?" In the final analysis, people end up with a handful of loess grass gone, what do you ask for? β
Si Ling expressed his admiration and said, "Then your brothers are willing to follow you?" β
Chenxing said heroically: "To tell you the truth, my brothers, I don't dare to guarantee all the tickets." There are not fifty percent of those who are willing to go with me, but half of them. And the rest went with them. If you're willing to go with me, will I take it with me? I'm afraid that your friend's village is too small to accommodate us. β
Si Ling stroked his palm and smiled: "It's just that the place is too small. They found a new place. β
Speaking of the mountain people in Renling, they are willing to accept these ringing horses. They are going up and down here, I wonder if Chenxing is willing to go together? The mountains are so long that many people can live there!
Chenxing's eyes flashed, and he said: "The mountains are long, and people are willing to take them in, so it's naturally good." Why are people willing to take it in? I heard that the mountain people have other beliefs, and they are not hospitable to us outsiders! β
The news that a new god had come out of the mountain did not spread to the outside world. Si Ling smiled: "You don't know that the people there believe in a sleeping god. Just a few days ago, the gods had woken up. β
Chenxing was stunned: "Is there really a god?" Did he wake up? Became a living god? β
Si Ling shook his head: "Even I don't understand the specific situation. When he heard that some miracle had been shown, he went away again. There is only one thing that is funny, I heard that the appearance of the god is very similar to mine, so the mountain people saluted me too! So I can talk to them and make them accept my friends. β
Chenxing looked at Si Ling again and again. Si Ling let him see it. Chenxing couldn't help but ask, "How can you look like a god?" β
Si Ling cheekily said, "I'm lucky." β
Chenxing had no choice but to say bluntly: "I don't believe it. β
"And what do you say?" Si Ling spread his hands and said, "I'm a god, I don't want to tell you the truth, and now I'm here to make you?" How do you choose? β
Chenxing is obviously having a hard time choosing. Look at his face is about to become tangled. But in the end, he finally made up his mind: "It's done!" That's it! β
He decided to enter Renling with Si Ling. And he doesn't want to go empty-handed yet!
Yibin City is nearby. He thought very close to Si Ling: do a ticket in Yibin, and then enter the mountain.
It just so happened that some of his subordinates didn't want to rebel, so Chenxing decided to use Yibin to fight and draw a line with these subordinates. After doing the math, there are more than 700 of these people, accounting for 40%. It was much less than half of Chenxing's original estimate. More people are willing to follow Chenxing even if they rebel. It can be seen that he led the troops well.
In this way, on this day, the people of Yibin suddenly heard shouts outside: "Rebellion, rebellion!" "The Xuanwu camp was in an uproar, and some people ran after others.
After chasing, they broke down one side of the city wall in Yibin. On the other side of the city wall, there is another group of people, who claim to be Qingscarf Xiangma, and also come to take advantage of the fire to rob.
Those green scarves are naturally the army of light. They wanted to pretend to be pigs and eat tigers, pretend to be heroes in the green forest, replace the old armor of light, and tie their turbans with cloth one by one. In order to make it easier to dye, the leaves are all green, and if the green is not deep, it becomes cyan.
If they are all women and have a good supply of rouge around them, then it should be the Red Turban Army!
The gang entered the city and shouted, "It's Taishou!" What is robbed is the city treasury! Don't let any of the irrelevant people come out! Close the door panel, and Autumn will not commit any crimes! Just poke your head out, and you'll be robbed of your house! β
was so frightened that none of the people dared to show their heads, they all closed the doors and windows, hid inside, and did not dare to come out. This group of people is really trustworthy, and they didn't rob the people, so they went to rob the official treasury of Yibin, and they wanted to search for Shen Yiluo and the master to come out and spank the board.
But those two guys saw the opportunity, and they didn't know where they were hiding, and they couldn't find it for a while. More than 700 soldiers came to the rescue with weapons, saying that they couldn't watch the commander scourge the official treasury, and they had to fight with the captain!
So Chen Xing led his subordinates and the Green Turban Army to resist the spoils of war out of Yibin. More than 700 good soldiers chased after him and crackled, and everyone saw it. Later, they helped these soldiers testify to the court: these people did not rebel! It's true! They helped defend the city.
So Chenxing safely took away more than a thousand soldiers. Those who were not taken away were not punished by the imperial court, but were rewarded. In and around the entire city of Yibin, not a single dead body was left.
The entire official treasury of Yibin City was looted! Such a big deal. As a result, no one died!
- Oh, there is still a person who died. There was a child who was lying on the couch and nibbling on pastries while watching his mother embroider the duckling's beak on her purse. Outside, the servants were sweeping the floor. It was quiet.
Suddenly, there was a shocking sound outside, saying that there were robbers! It's a mutiny again!
One by one, the door panels were frightened, and when they looked back, the little child's face was so blue that he couldn't speakβhe choked on the pastry in his trachea, and choked to death.
During the whole battle, he really died from the battle, and this is the only one. No matter how his family screamed for heaven and earth, anyway, Shen Yiluo, the master or someone else felt that it was unreasonable. So they finally reported it like this: Xuanwu Duwei rebelled, his subordinates did not agree, and a big battle affected Yibin City, killing more than 1,000 people and losing tens of thousands of silver.
The losses of the official treasury that were robbed were all reported as war losses.
Shen Yiluo was robbed, but he was refreshed. Even if his hand holding the pen is still a little stinky - ah yes, he and his master are hiding in the pit - but he still feels good! Because Chenxing rebelled! In this way, he is the enemy of the imperial court, not his personal enemy of Shen Yiluo.
Together with Taiwei, he can hunt down and kill Shen Yiluo in the name of the imperial court!
Taifu also thinks so. He also felt that the seal that his master helped Shen Yiluo ghostwrite was very well written, and it could be used as a model text.
But the last official document from the imperial court sternly reprimanded Shen Yiluo, saying that his seal was nonsense! Where is there a rebellion? It's sensational.
But they also wrote after Chenxing, saying that he was corrupt and escaped. Demand arrest and justice.
Shen Yiluo read this official document for a long time, and he didn't know whether he won or lost. He asked his master, "Is your writing so bad?" The court talks nonsense! β
The master saluted and said, "Thank you Taishou for your trust." This pen for students is indeed not too bad. Judging from the students, the court is so falling, in fact, it is of great significance! β
Shen Yiluo asked, "Oh? What is the deep meaning? β
The master helped him analyze: "You see that this court is newly settled, and the Quartet is thriving, and everyone suddenly hears that there is a rebellion, don't you respond?" Therefore, the court did not dare to admit it, and on the surface it wanted to make a claim. But they knew in their hearts that it was a great merit to guard the city wall and not let the thieves take the city. In the future, it will be rewarded for the Taishou. β
Shen Yiluo listened to it and felt very reasonable, but said: "Then say so, don't you write about rebellion at the beginning, isn't it over?" Lest the imperial court look at the diaphragm at the beginning? β
The master touched his beard and smiled: "Adults only know one thing, but they don't know the other." β
Shen Yiluo admired this master, and arched his hand and said, "I hope Mr. will teach me." β
The master said: "Of course, the court wants to save face, but it is clear in my heart. If Captain Xuanwu rebelled against the general, and Taishou did not say anything against him, but covered it up for him, it would be an invasion of the power of the imperial court. The court thinks you're too smart to use you. Now that the adults have won a petition, it is that the court thinks you are honest, so you will be rewarded, and in the future, for your honesty, this is why you will be used! β
Shen Yiluo was overjoyed when he heard this, and said, "My future is all on my husband." β
The master didn't dare to say that he didn't dare to do so, but he was also quite complacent. Sure enough, the court relieved the military salary and sent more people down to hunt down Chenxing. The post of general secretary was given to Shen Yiluo.
Shen Yiluo is a civil official, and he can't march to Buzhen.
This general department is responsible for logistics coordination, which is not only glorious, but also quite oily.
Shen Yiluo said to the master: "Sure enough, as you said! The master said leisurely: "This is just the beginning. Adults wait and see, there are still good ones ahead! β
This general division has done a good job, and there will naturally be another promotion afterwards. Shen Yiluo waited with peace of mind.
The prince of Jingzhong had a gloomy face. He asked the inner supervisor: "Mu Zhanyi is here?" β
The old man of the Mu family, General Feng Zhanyi. Since a few years ago, the old man was not in good health, and he was allowed to no longer go to court, and he rarely went out usually.
Now, the crown prince is waiting for him. And waited in a hurry.
The inner supervisor bowed down and said: "Back to the Regency, it's already on the way, and you should enter the palace gate." β
Although this prince is in charge of the regent, he doesn't like to hear his subordinates call him the prince, but loves to listen to the regent, and his ambition can also be seen. If it weren't for Wang Chen's prestige, he was only afraid that he would make this prince a real emperor.
Even now, when people treat him, they are as respectful as the real emperor.
General Zha Yi did not go to court, but it was approved by Wang Chen. Now the prince has announced that he will come in, and he will come.
Although he was willing to come, he was half-defeated, and he couldn't walk if he had to go.
Eight eunuchs, taking a soft sedan chair, carried him over.
For ordinary people, four eunuchs are enough to lift. But General Zha Yi had a heavy physique, and was laughed at by Wang Chen back then: "Like an elephant." "Even if it is half paralyzed, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse. With the addition of a soft sedan chair, four people can't lift it. He came as black and swarthy as half a hill, and the prince was also a little frightened, and he was taught to hang outside the curtain, not to see him for the time being, and deliberately hung him out, wanting to establish his majesty.
These are all useful tips. However, after all, skill is only skill. If a person does not have real ability, he only relies on skill to erect majesty. That majesty is like a tower on sand, no matter how delicate and luxurious, one day it will collapse. Who called it weakly rooted.
The prince was in the curtain, leaving General Zha Yi out of the house, and he only took a book and pretended to read it.
General Na Zha Yi waited outside, silent, motionless, like a silent mountain.
The prince waited and waited, and he became a little uneasy, and finally put the book aside and let someone pass it in.
General Zha Yi was lifted up. Half of his body couldn't move, and his mouth was a little crooked, but fortunately he could still speak. He saluted the crown prince: "Regent Chitose!" β
The prince greeted him and asked, "When did Mu Qiyi have a relationship with Xihou Xianzun?" β
It turned out that since Wang Chen cultivated immortals, in addition to teaching the prince to regency, he also left a cronie to pass on his meaning and deal with things on his behalf.
This cronie, because of this mission, although he did not have much military merit, was also named Xihou, and later he was promoted to Xianzun. Although immortals may not be, respect is very.
This Chenxing rebellion incident is exactly what Xihou Xianzun urgently passed on Wang Chen's meaning: don't say rebellion, only let Chenxing be chased back, and don't let him be killed, only arrested.
Moreover! The word "Mu" was also hidden on the document, and only Chenxing was written. It's as if they have nothing to do with the Mu family. The prince decided that this was to save face for the Mu family.
The crown prince didn't believe that this edict really meant by Wang Chen - what a joke! Even the handwriting is not Wang Chen's handwriting, okay? It is also stamped with Wang Chen's emperor seal. Who knows if Xihou Xianzun made his own claim and falsely passed on the holy decree?
But the problem is that the prince had similar questions about the edict "conveyed" by Xihou before, but after Wang Chen appeared, he really admitted it, and also emphasized to the prince: For the edict issued by Xihou with the help, it must be strictly implemented, and you can't ask why.
The prince was very aggrieved, and once thought that Wang Chen and Xihou were broken sleeves! Yes, this perfectly explains why Wang Chen did not accept concubines and did not give birth to his own children!
What's more, when Xihou was young, he was also a handsome young man with a face like a crown of jade, sword eyebrows and sideburns, and a talent. Now that he is old, his appearance is still not bad.
Maybe Wang Chen just likes this kind of handsome uncle? β¦β¦ Well, Xihou is already older than the "uncle" generation, and he can be called "uncle"...... But no one can say anything about feelings. It's not impossible for Wang Chen to like this grandfather, right?
But the problem is that Xihou has a child of his own. If Wang Chen really spoils Xihou alone, why not bring Xihou's child into the palace as the crown prince? Why did he want to pass his step-nephew and become the current prince?
The prince couldn't figure it out, but one thing was certain: he didn't dare to ask Xihou for confirmation.
His courage is not to the extent of summoning General Zha Yi into Jin in the middle of the night and leaving people outside the curtain for a while. In the end, he asked General Za Yi what his friendship was with Xihou. General Zha Yi's expression was suddenly a little weirdβbut maybe the half-paralyzed people had weird expressions.
Regarding the prince's question, General Zha Yi set aside a thousand pounds in four or two, and did not say that there was any friendship, nor did he say that there was absolutely no friendship, so go whatever the prince wants!
He recognized the crown prince, and it was impossible to really kill him on the spot. No matter how secretly the prince jumped, he didn't even dare to yell at him. The prince could only grit his teeth, twist his face as if he was about to have a stroke, and said to him: "I went to check the family tree of your Chenzi branch. β
It's the family where Chenxing was born.γTheoretically, the family tree that should record Chenxing's life history.γ The prince really remembered to check it, it can be seen that he has done his homework, and he is not a brave and unscrupulous person!
General Zha Yi responded: "Oh. This faint response made the prince even more mad. He raised his voice: "That family tree is burned!" "It was burned!" Isn't that too much of a coincidence? β
"Really?" General Zha Yi seemed to have heard of it for the first time, and he didn't think it was serious, so he still responded lightly.
The prince said angrily: "Mu Zhanyi! Let me ask you, is Chenxing really a child of your Mu family's Chenzhi? β
General Zhayi's eyes finally changed, and he seemed to cast an appreciative gaze on the crown prince, which was Mr. Teaching's appreciation for the disciple who had finally opened his mind. Regarding the prince's question, he also responded positively for the first time: "Where does our Mu family have such a child?" β
"That ......" the prince suddenly won, and he was a little overwhelmed for a while, "You mean, he ......"
After he was disrespectful and disobedient, the Mu family had asked the imperial court to exile him to the border and allow him to make meritorious contributions. If he can completely change his life and serve the country, the Mu family will allow him to go home. Otherwise, the Mu family has never had this child or grandchild. The corners of General Zha Yi's mouth were very difficult to say, but they were unusually clear.
"......" The prince had nothing to answer. General Zha Yi's speech was not leaky. But why, the prince always felt that he had been beaten Tai Chi and played as a fool?
Na Shen Yiluo didn't know that the undercurrent in Beijing was turbulent. He only actively helped the army to capture the star. And that master, even if he has seven exquisite tricks, how can he really understand all the secrets above?
The master only said that this was a good opportunity to make meritorious contributions. He not only gave advice to Shen Yiluo, but also recommended himself to go to Renling to investigate.
Shen Yiluo saw that he was so fearless of hardships and dangers, and greatly praised him. There is only one dilemma. He said: "Mr. has left the lower official, if there is a sudden problem, how can the lower official deal with it?" β
The master was also very moved when he heard it: "No, for the sake of adults, I am willing to follow dogs and horses, and I dare not stay away." This time, I must take the initiative to ask for help, I am afraid that those people will be timid and lazy, and they will not make contributions, and they will report nonsense and perfunctory adults. I didn't just go here, but I wanted to inquire about it, so that the adults could guide them in the future and have a way out. When they see that adults are in control of the overall situation, they don't dare to mess around with adults. Therefore, it will not be long to go, and the speed will be three or five days, and the delay will not be half a decade, and it will definitely return to the adult. β
When Shen Yiluo heard this, he was full of kindness, recognized him as a great loyalty, and sent him a letter. The master asked for funds, and Shen Yiluo also approved them - the left and right were withdrawn by the officials, and he couldn't touch his personal private room.
The master is so enthusiastic, he has his own selfish intentions: why does he want to go to Renling? It's just a walk around the edge of the ridge. With this excuse, I will take some silver taels for him to spend a few days of leisure and play, and there is still a surplus! In the process, if he found any signs of gangsters in any village, he could only clamore to make a big deal so that he could bluff people into bribing him.
After going back, he had the reputation of "micro-service private interview", and when he told Shen Yiluo about the military situation, Shen Yiluo must be more trusting. The dispatch of this army, Shen Yiluo, as the general director, is powerful after all. (To be continued.) )
