Chapter 687: Arrogance
A slave who looks down on people with dog eyes! Yun Yu scolded in his heart, the smile on his face did not diminish in the slightest, and after the triumphal music was played, he said again: "The emperor specially bestows General Nian with the glory of the Forbidden Horseback, please General Nian and all the generals immediately enter the Palace of Cultivation of the Heart to see the holy car." ”
"Yes, I'm going to see the emperor immediately." When he said this, Nian Qianyao's face was a little gloomy, and he didn't know what he was thinking. glanced back at Yue Zhongqi, who was still saluting the ministers one by one, and shouted: "Get on the horse and enter the palace with this general." ”
"Yes." Yue Zhongqi reluctantly agreed, glanced at the officials apologetically, turned over on the horse, and spurred the horse to the palace with Nian Qianyao, just after a short distance, he saw Nian Qianyao hurriedly strangled the knotted rope, he couldn't help but almost hit it for a while, and quickly stabilized the horse and said: "General, what's wrong?" ”
Nian Qianyao didn't say a word, followed his gaze, and saw a small official kneeling on the ground tremblingly, and there was a small half bucket of water next to him, but when he sprinkled water to clean the street just now, he forgot to take the bucket back, which happened to block Nian Qianyao's way.
"How do you do it? Don't hurry up and take the bucket down. Yun Yu also saw this scene, and hurriedly rushed up and pointed at the little official and scolded him.
"Damn the villain! The villain will take it down. As soon as the little official was about to serve the bucket, he heard Nian Qianyao say: "No need, just put it there." ”
The little official looked at him blankly, if this bucket is not taken down, how will the horse pass, although the street is quite spacious, guardrails are set up on both sides, and there are people looking at each other, and there are civil and military officials crowded here, so the rest of the road can only be passed by one horse.
Nian Qianyao looked at the little official coldly, and said: "This general was ordered by the emperor to guard the northwest, and now he has quelled the rebellion and ordered the class to return to Beijing, but you, the little official, deliberately blocked the way of the general, if you are at the border pass, you should be killed for your crimes." ”
As soon as he heard this, the little official was immediately frightened, and hurriedly said: "The general spared his life, the villain was just a momentary negligence, not intentional." Afraid that Nian Qianyao would not believe it, he said again: "After the villain saw that after cleaning the street, there was still water left, so he took it home to use when he went back later, so he forgot to move it down." ”
Nian Qianyao immediately frowned when he heard this, and he was very puzzled by his words. Nian Qianyao is a cowardly general, proficient in articles and poetry, so his appearance is not as fierce as that of ordinary generals and martial artists, only those eyes are much sharper than ordinary people, teaching others to be fearful, "What is there to take home with water, and it is not gold, silver and jewelry." ”
Yun Yu hurriedly explained: "General Nian didn't know when he first returned to Beijing, but it had not rained in the capital for several months, and the water source was scarce, and the water used now was transported back from hundreds of miles away. If it weren't for the triumphant return of General Nian to Beijing, where would the emperor be willing to sprinkle water and clean the streets, it would be no wonder that this little official would be greedy. General Nian rest assured that this king will deal with him later. ”
Nian Qianyao smiled disdainfully, stared at the little official and said, "What a thing that has no breath, water, hum!" ”
didn't wait for everyone to understand the meaning of this hum, they saw Nian Qianyao raise the horsewhip and whipped it hard on the horse's buttocks, the horse was in pain, raised his front hooves and was about to run, but Nian Qianyao grabbed the reins, and his feet were clamped on his abdomen like iron pliers, not allowing it to run. It hissed uncomfortably, and its front hooves flailed wildly, kicking right on the bucket, knocking the small half bucket of water to the ground, slowly staining the ground under the hot and pitiful eyes of countless people.
"If you want to carry the water yourself, there is no water for you here!" After throwing down these words, Nian Qianyao sneered and left, and the rest of the soldiers also rode away, leaving behind a group of ministers with blue faces.
"Arrogance! It's so arrogant! "Finally, someone was the first to speak, it was a governor, he was among the people, although the official position was not high, but his qualifications were extremely old, and he was still a jinshi in the twenty-first year of Kangxi. They waited here for a long time, but Nian Qianyao hadn't said a word to them since he arrived, and he had never seen such arrogance.
The old man's words began, followed by a series of accusations, and someone said angrily: "It's not just arrogance, it's just no one in sight, I think it's great to win a battle, hmph, after all, it's not a martial artist." ”
"And that water, knowing that the water source in Beijing is scarce, I have to deliberately spill it." Someone shook their heads repeatedly.
"If he hadn't cleared the street beforehand, he would have run so fast that he would have to raise the dust on our heads and faces!" Another person complained. was extremely dissatisfied with Yinzhen's summoning of them to the capital to welcome Nian Qianyao. Anyone who is like this will be dissatisfied, not to mention these people who are officials and feudal officials, and even princes and nobles.
The onlookers also had a very bad impression of him because Nian Qianyao kicked over the bucket of water, and now the saint is still reducing the ice and water supply, but the general who has just arrived in the capital is bigger than the emperor's shelf.
Yun Yu watched coldly as everyone complained there, without the slightest intention of persuasion, in fact, the more Nian Qianyao did too much, the happier he became, and now he was already looking forward to the lively scene of tomorrow morning.
Because Yinzhen had a will, he gave Nian Qianyao a forbidden horse, so when he arrived at the gate of the palace, Nian Qianyao did not get off the horse, and drove the horse in.
In the midst of the great internal prohibition, Yang spurred the horse; What a majestic and proud one. And Nian Qianyao also became the first official in the Yongzheng Dynasty to enjoy such honors.
As for Yue Zhongqi and other soldiers who came with Nian Qianyao, they only had envy, and they honestly stopped their horses at dozens of feet away from the palace gate and entered on foot.
"The slave greets General Nian, General Nian is auspicious!" After entering the palace gate, a eunuch with a raw face rushed out of the stab, ran to Nian Qianyao's horse in small steps, and flattered a thousand children.
"Where are you from, little eunuch?" Nian Qianyao pulled the reins and asked with a little displeasure, today I just entered Beijing and encountered two people blocking the road in a row, it seems that the people in this capital are even more disobedient than the northeast side of Sichuan and Shaanxi, and even the eunuchs in the palace are the same. Thinking that he has been in the northwest for many years, who dares to block his way without opening his eyes, unless he is impatient to live.
The flattery on the little eunuch's face became more and more serious, and he said flatteringly: "If you return to the general, the slave will be ordered by the emperor to lead the horse for the general." ”
"I see, then you get up." Hearing what the little eunuch said, Nian Qianyao's face improved a lot, and he said that how could there be such an eyeless slave in this palace, it turned out that he came by order of the emperor, it seems that the emperor really attaches great importance to himself, not to mention the forbidden horse, but also specially asked people to lead the horse for him, but ...... If it is Sixi or Su Peisheng who leads the horse, it will be more decent.
