Chapter 429: Absolute Authority
Mo Li didn't care, and of course no one else paid attention to it.
The official of the decree had already been frightened for a long time, where was there any effort to care about the life and death of the surname Song, and even this meeting had already been thought about, and when he returned to Beijing to resume his life, he had to pay attention to some words, so as not to let Mo Li hear some rumors, and then he could be put into it again.
In this way, the holy decree was read and promulgated extremely smoothly, who still had the mind to care whether Mo Li and Han Jiangxue were standing or sitting to receive the decree at this time.
And when everyone heard the content of the holy decree, many people were completely disillusioned with the court and the emperor on meritorious deeds, the whole decree was just a symbolic two sentences of simple recognition of the Qing army to win Muzhou, but in addition to verbal praise, there was no substantial reward, and the first time Qingyang won the same thing.
What's more, the main intention of this holy decree is to summon their commander King Mo to leave for Beijing on the same day, and the holy will is sympathetic to King Mo's hard work these days, so he is blessed to return to the capital for the New Year, participate in the palace banquet, and reunite with his family to spend the festival.
Just when the army was about to leave for the second destination, Li Qing suddenly summoned Mo Li to return to Beijing, even the most stupid person knew that it must not be really a reward, otherwise, it would be impossible for the imperial court to express any pragmatism even today, and even the grain and grass army had not been mentioned.
What's more, the emperor actually ordered Mo Li not to clean up the army during this period, and all the affairs of the army were handed over to an outsider like General Song, who was beaten to death just now, isn't this a clear ill-intention?
General Sun was immediately even more annoyed. Even if the emperor didn't trust Lord Mo, he would rather send someone who was nothing arrogant to take over the entire purging army, and he never thought of them. In this way, the last illusion in General Sun's heart about the imperial court and Li Qing was completely broken.
Just when General Sun thought that King Mo would not take over the will, and had already made up his mind that no matter what the prince did, he would not hesitate to give his full support, but he never thought that King Mo's attitude was not as angry as they thought, but he had expected it to be calm.
"Okay, this king knows." Mo Li waved his hand and said, but did not get up. Directly signaled to Dong Ling on the side to take the holy decree.
Then everyone symbolically called out long live, long live, long live, and they all stood up and looked at their boss in confusion.
Only the official who heralded the decree was secretly relieved. Fortunately, Mo Li rarely took over the order so cooperatively, but as for what the Lord thought in his heart and what he was going to do, it was not within his control.
"Thank you for your kindness. You have received your order. Wechen has completed the holy order, so he will no longer bother and leave! ”
How shrewd the official was, he immediately made a big salute to Mo Li, and then didn't dare to say anything, so he directly said goodbye and prepared to leave this place of right and wrong.
"Why is this lord in such a hurry, didn't the emperor let this king set off with you immediately after listening to the decree?" Mo Li said lightly: "Aren't you going to go back to Beijing with this king?" ”
The official hurriedly explained: "Back to the words of the prince, the holy will is not false. However, Weichen still has some personal matters to do along the way, so he will not go on the same road with the prince. Please also ask the prince to forgive his sins. After Wechen finished his personal affairs, he returned to Beijing on his own, and then there was the closest county to the capital to wait for the prince, and asked the prince to make it convenient, Wechen was grateful. ”
These words were said at an extremely high level, not only to give Mo Li as much autonomy as possible when he left, but also to take all the reasons on himself, and in the end, as long as he touched his subordinates a little, he would not be punished in front of the emperor for this.
After all, with so many long distances, it is normal to be a few days early or a few days late, and you will come out when you encounter a little thing on the road or a slight difference in the speed of travel.
"In that case, it is not good for the king to interfere in your private affairs. Although the court has not pulled out a tael of silver for the army for such a long time, the king has promised the brothers in the army that before they set off for the next battlefield, he will have to hold a celebration banquet for them with his own money, so as to reward all the soldiers who have fought side by side with the king these days, so he has to postpone his departure for a day or two. ”
Mo Li didn't look at the herald officer again, but instead stood up and swept his gaze over the soldiers in the army, shining with an incomparable light: "You are all the most amazing soldiers this king has ever seen, and this king is proud of you!" ”
Such eyes, such words, and such affirmations suddenly turned into an invisible force to fiercely exterminate all the soldiers present, and all the soldiers only felt that their blood was boiling, and the worship and admiration for Mo Li in their hearts once again stepped to a new level.
General Sun's heart was even more indescribably excited, the pride of dying for the one who knew it was impressively reflected in his heart, and at this moment, the feeling of being respected and recognized made him not hesitate to regard himself as a real member of the Mo family's army!
"I will live up to the high expectations of the prince!" General Sun came back to his senses for the first time and shouted out with great resound.
At one moment, the sound in the army once again shook the sky, and the voice of "I will live up to the high expectations of the prince" shouted out in unison, which made many of the people from the capital a little weak. But because this would not have a clear nod from King Mo to indicate that they could go, no one dared to leave first.
Soon, Mo Li waved his hand, signaled the generals to stop, and then looked at General Sun and said with a smile: "General Sun, according to the emperor's wishes, all military affairs during the period when this king is not in the military camp must be temporarily handed over to General Song, who followed him from the capital, but this will make General Song need to recuperate well, and he doesn't have so much energy at all." Therefore, when the king is not in the army, you can help General Song share as much as possible in the affairs of the army, in addition to major matters such as grain and grass and military affairs can be solved by General Song, other troublesome and laborious small things You can discuss with General Qin, General Yue and General He to solve them, don't trouble him! ”
"Yes, my subordinates obey!" General Sun, of course, understood what Mo Li said, and immediately stepped forward to receive the order.
And the same is true of several other generals who were named, and they took a step down with a smile on their faces.
"What do you think of this king's arrangement, this lord?" Mo Li didn't even ask what the official name was, there was no need to ask, and there was no need to ask specifically.
Where did the official dare to have any opinions, and hurriedly nodded in agreement: "The prince is wise and benevolent, and it is the blessing of General Song and the entire army to be able to meet such an enlightened and benevolent commander as the prince!" ”
"You're a very interesting person, and you're doing a good job." Without waiting for Mo Li to speak, Han Jiangxue couldn't help but smile, and then said to the official who sent the decree: "After returning to Beijing, go to the Mo Palace, and receive the reward, this princess can't treat an interesting person like you badly." ”
Hearing Han Jiangxue's words, the minister's heart suddenly became cold, but he really couldn't say it, and he couldn't show half of it on his face.
This Princess Mo now looks as silent as she used to be in the capital, and since he entered this military camp, he has said these two sentences in total, but the former sentence made the surnamed Song directly become the target of public criticism, and the latter sentence forced him to a desperate place to choose one of the two.
The reward of the Mowangfu is definitely not something that anyone can receive, and receiving it is equivalent to standing on the side of the Mowangfu, in case the emperor knows, don't say that the official road is at the end, and even the life is difficult to protect.
But now that Princess Mo has spoken, if he doesn't get it, it means that he has rejected the Mo Palace, so according to what he saw and heard in the military camp today, and according to Mo Li's style of acting, I am afraid that he is not so lucky and destined to return to the capital alive.
It's not so much a choice between the two, but rather a choice at all, the official smiled bitterly in his heart, where else did he have any other choice now?
"Weichen Liang Shixin thanks the princess for her appreciation, he will definitely not live up to the princess's personal reward!"
Liang Shixin simply reported to his family, and he made this bold decision directly without delay. If it were someone else, he might have hesitated, or even tried to delay it first, and then think of other ways not to get caught up in this muddy water.
However, now he is facing King Mo and Princess Mo, so it is better to put away that little bit of caution and gamble.
"Lord Liang doesn't have to be so outside, since you have other important things to do, let's go and get busy with you." Han Jiangxue was not surprised by Liang Shixin's decision.
On the contrary, she still has a certain understanding of this person's background, otherwise she would not have thrown any reward to Liang Shixin in the end.
And Mo Li didn't understand Han Jiangxue's intentions, but he didn't say anything else, but followed Jiang Xue's meaning, nodded slightly towards Liang Shixin, and signaled that he could leave on his own.
In this way, Liang Shixin did not delay any longer, and solemnly saluted Mo Li and Han Jiangxue again, and then left the barracks with his people.
As for General Song and dozens of his cronies, Liang Shixin didn't pay attention to it, these people should have stayed with the surname Song at this time, and the rest of the matter would be settled.
After Liang Shixin left, Mo Li waved his hand and signaled Dongling to take the surname Song and the dozens of cronies and soldiers down to settle down, so that they could "take care", while the others returned to their respective posts and waited for the arrival of the evening celebration banquet.
"Lord Wang, the group surnamed Song, his subordinates have ordered someone to make proper arrangements, and I promise that they will not let them clear the slightest mess for us to clean up the army!"
In the military tent, General Sun confidently told Chao Moli, and at the same time said with a little worry: "But the prince, the last general thinks that this trip back to Beijing is not a good thing, do you really plan to take the princess back to the capital like this?" (To be continued......)
