Chapter 41: The Usefulness of Military Merit

Ding Liu had never seen anyone who had killed a Western Xia person and dared to stand in the local area to discuss compensation with the shopkeeper of Fan Lou, he knew that the officials of Kaifeng Mansion would arrive soon, and wanted to suggest that these people should run away. A man stuffed a handful of money and told him that he was very satisfied with his clever service, and that he would look for him to serve him next time he came to Tokyo.

Ding Liu and the little girl sadly watched their best guests being escorted out by the officials, and their hearts were not a good feeling. The little girl smiled at herself when she saw the bearded man who liked to laugh at her the most pass by the door, and tears flowed out at once, although the money bag on her waist was full of money, she did not feel much happiness, serving these people to eat, selling her own signed vegetables to these people was her best experience in the tile market.

Lang Tan didn't have time to look at the little girl's expression, as an official, the only preferential treatment he received was that he didn't have chains on his hands, so he walked in front with his hands behind his back, and his subordinates still followed behind as if they came, forming a neat formation of goose wings.

The street was already crowded with people, and the applause was endless, Lang Tan had a smile on his face, and felt that there was still some truth in the words of the general bragging - go to the Qinglou, the restaurant is not lively if there is no fight!

The prison of Kaifeng Mansion is the same as the night market of Kaifeng Mansion, the night market is day and night, thirty military men have been sent in, the official camp and the chaber are naturally to be well entertained, the thirty sticks of killing rods are indispensable, the errand is ready, and the official camp has learned the reason why these people are imprisoned.

Chaber lowered his voice and said: "These are all Wu Shengjun's killers, and the leader has just been received by the official family, and now they have killed the Western Xia people, this kind of thing should not be something we can control, it is better to lock them up together." Just wait for Shangguan to fall. ”

The official camp said in a low voice: "Did the third child of the Gao family come just now?" ”

Chaber nodded and said, "The Wang family, the Shi family." The queen's maiden family also came to speak. ”

The official camp nodded, and ordered all thirty people to be sent to a clean prison to wait for the delivery, and what he paid was only a temporary kindness, and it didn't take much effort.

Thirty people were crammed into a large room, a little cramped. But the prison is still clean. Lang Tan examined the injuries on Niu Da's body and found that there were only a few bruises. I was relieved to pile up the wheat straw and lay down on it to prepare for sleep.

Niu Da sat on the side and asked worriedly: "Junhou, if we do this, will it bring trouble to the general?" ”

Lang Tan yawned and said, "If there is any trouble, we are just fighting." Doing this now is to prepare for the lord to enter Beijing, the front in the palace is in the palace, it is on the side of the prohibition of our orders, and the fight in the Fan Tower at night is to tell others, Wu Shengjun is not a soft persimmon, and it is our nature to be aggressive.

And when he came, the Lord said, A good name is not as long as a bad name. I'd rather be afraid than loved, we were originally fighters who went into battle, and we wanted so many people to do what they liked. It's better for everyone to stay away from us.

Sleep, tomorrow after the hall, in the afternoon back to the post house, it is estimated that the official family they discussed almost, three or two days we will go back to Guangnan Road, this time I don't know if I can catch up with Jiaozhi, I always feel that the general has long planned to attack Thang Long Mansion, I didn't see Cui Da when I came, and the materials on the edge of Dongting Lake are going to pile up into a mountain. If it weren't for the preparations made a long time ago, it would have been impossible for these materials to be prepared so quickly, and when we got His Majesty's will, we would have rushed back to Quang Nam quickly, and if we couldn't go to Thang Long Mansion, it would have made people regret it for a lifetime. ”

Niu Da and the others listened to the explanation of the military marquis, and they also put their minds at ease and found a dry place to sleep in their clothes.

After Bao Zheng listened to Sima's advice on duty at night, he ordered someone to light a few more candles in the study, carefully read the criminal code of the Great Song Dynasty, and after finding a way to deal with this kind of thing, he turned off the lights and went to sleep.

Before going to bed, he lamented to his old wife and said: "The old man knows that Kaifeng Mansion is not good!" ”

The old wife smiled: "It's not good that when you have been a full six years, when you are older, don't think too much, people's minds are counted, the more you use, the less you will stay, and the concubine still expects to return to your hometown with you to enjoy a few more years of happiness." ”

Bao Zheng smiled bitterly: "Most of the old man's reputation is obtained from sitting in Kaifeng Mansion, until today I don't know what a learned splash skin is, this is only thirty small splash skins, and when the biggest splash skin enters Beijing, I don't know what kind of things will happen, the old man still handed over the errand earlier, I heard that Ouyang Xiu has a lot of ideas about the right to know Kaifeng Mansion, leave it to him." ”

When the old wife heard her husband say this, she smiled and said, "It's always inseparable from official business, isn't it good for you to be your Longtuge University Scholar?" A noble official, who is not involved in good things such as cause and effect, works as a scholar in his spare time, and when he is old, his greatest hope is to prolong his life.

The concubine has long seen that you have no intention of going up since the Qingli period, since you don't want to be the prime minister, it is better to withdraw completely, and the concubine will worry about you as long as she thinks of Fan Wenzheng's fate. ”

Bao Zheng pulled the quilt up and whispered: "Sleep, sleep, it's good to solve a thousand sorrows in a dream......

Wu Shengjun just entered the capital for a day, at dawn, basically did everything to know, but the reputation is not very good, yesterday the fast horse into the city has stirred up the quiet city of Tokyo, the chicken and dog jumped over the wall, in the afternoon guarding the Japanese army in Tokyo there are three capital prisoners on the ground, I heard that the angry privy envoy Pang Ji is not allowed to explain at all, people in the palace, three military orders have been issued, these three military orders immediately cost three people's lives.

Think about it, if Wu Shengjun is a bandit, and rushes into Tokyo City like this, can he, the head of the privy envoy, be saved, and the thirty horsemen can storm the city pass, and the generals guarding the gate will actually disperse in a hurry, if it is not for the Confucian scholars who dare to rush up with a flat pole to theorize, the face of Tokyo City will be lost.

Why there were countless Jiedu envoys rebelling in the pre-Tang Dynasty, the biggest reason is that those Jiedu envoys saw through the essence of the strong cadres outside Chang'an City, just when the emperor and Lang Tan met alone, there were already imperial historians questioning Pang Ji, why were all fierce tigers and beasts fighting outside, and the people responsible for guarding the fundamental important places of the Great Song Dynasty were some useless fat pigs?

It's understandable that the Tigers are fighting outside, but even if the ones guarding Tokyo Bianliang Castle are not Tigers, at least they have to get a dog, right? Get some fat pigs to guard the door, who dares to close their eyes and sleep in the capital of Nuoda?

It is not only the imperial historian who feels this way, but also the people of Tokyo City, who have the foresight to look all the way north along the map, and find that there is no danger to rely on to reach Kaifeng Mansion from Youzhou, and this kind of terrain is the most convenient for the Khitan cavalry to drive straight into......

The emperor still summoned his ministers to continue to discuss the war in Guangnan today, and now he no longer discusses Nong Zhigao, and after seeing Yu Jing's recital sent from Wuchao City, even the most cautious officials removed Nong Zhigao from the list of enemies.

How should the Guangnan Di Qing Department act, the prime ministers of the political hall have already made a judgment, Pang Ji after seeing Di Qing's secret play, he never mentioned this matter, Di Qing is ready to suddenly attack Dali without giving the enemy half a chance, to get the greatest victory in the shortest possible time, lightning through the mountains and rivers of Dali more than 500 miles and finally come back from Shuzhong. If possible, it will also occupy the entire Jianchang Mansion in Dali, this is Gao Zhisheng's lair, Duan Silian will definitely agree, for him, there is nothing more terrifying than a powerful Gao Zhisheng.

In the eyes of Pang Ji and Han Qi, Yun Zheng was like a hungry wolf wandering outside the court, not only insidious but also infinitely terrifying, if they couldn't put chains on this hungry wolf, they wouldn't be able to sleep peacefully for a day.

Lu Qingyuan, who was already a waiter in the Ministry of Rites of the official residence, sat in his position without looking at it, took out a red clay teapot and took a sip, and put it back on the warm seat next to him, the emperor has not yet come, so everyone still has seats to sit, and when the emperor comes, these seats will all be taken away.

Grandpa Tai relied on the trick of collecting the stool to properly divide the power of the prime minister into three kinds, that is, the privy envoy, the governor and the Tongzhong Shumen under the Pingzhang affairs, when a person is called the prime minister, it is naturally under one person, above ten thousand people, when five or six people can be called the prime minister, that position is not so dazzling.

Lu Qingyuan knew what his Shangguan Rites Department attendant Liu Du, as well as the governor Han Qi, and the Pingzhang Shi Pang Ji of the Tongzhong Book Sect were worried about.

Ever since yesterday the words "Wu Shengjun acted cheaply" burst out of His Majesty's mouth, these people were very worried, and their faces never changed for the better.

Yesterday evening, before receiving the gift brought to him by the military marquis, as well as Yun Zheng's handwritten letter, he was also worried, when he knew that Yun Zheng planned to participate in the big competition with a large group of his subordinates, and asked himself to help sort out the obstacles to the exam, a hanging heart suddenly let go.

He still knows Yun Zheng very well, Donghuamen roll call has always been his wish, in contrast, Wu Shengjun is just a temporary plaything, as long as he can get enough benefits, even if it is not difficult to disband Wu Shengjun.

The soul of that army is nothing more than those soldiers, as long as these soldiers are encircled, what kind of army do you want? The Wusheng Army is just a group of outcasts, and they can all be trained into extremely fierce soldiers, so as long as these soldiers are used in civilian and military use, won't the trouble of supporting the Japanese army be solved?

Looking at the people sitting opposite him who were arguing about the death of the three Japanese prisoners, Lu Qingyuan lowered his head and smiled secretly, haven't these people found out that the characters who replaced them have appeared?

When he heard Bao Zheng say that the soldiers of the Wusheng Army actually made a big fuss about Fan Lou last night and killed a Xixia person, and there were seven or eight Xixia people who didn't know the news of life and death, he once again confirmed Yun Zheng's determination to participate in the big competition.

As a well-educated Confucian, after a look at this matter, I knew that those Xixia people died in vain, the Zhao dynasty never killed meritorious ministers, even if there was a punishment, they would generally be assigned to serve before the army, and after meritorious service, the official would be reinstated, this point seems to be very detailed, there is a definite number of beheadings, is it level three or five?

Lu Qingyuan would not think that these guys who could beat the fierce Xixia people to death with their bare hands would not have a few heads of military merit, although they only killed 40,000 people in front of the Hot Spring Pass, it was also a real military feat.
