Chapter 52: The Divine Decree Arrives

Luo Keduo, the king of Doropin, has been annoyed lately.

After the Battle of Mopan Mountain that year, the Qing army suffered too much loss, and Luo Keduo, as the leader of the Eight Banners, was severely reprimanded, and was even fined 4,000 taels of silver.

This is the second highest fine since the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs.

The first in line is Doni, the king of Dorashin County, who led the army with him back then......

During the Battle of Kuidong, because of Luo Keduo's good scheduling, he regained his favor, and he was appointed as the head of the Qing army in Huguang, and became the garrison general of the Qing army in Huguang and Sichuan.

The station was placed in Jingzhou.

Of course, anyone with a discerning eye knows that Luo Keduo's temporary garrison general is guarding against the resurgence of the remnants of Kuidong Dashun's army.

Although Li Laiheng burned himself to death, and the last organized army of the Great Western Army dissipated in the fire of Maolu Mountain, after all, the Great Western Army was dominant, and although the rest was scattered among the people, it naturally would not give up.

The whole court understood that the remaining people of the Great Western Army would inevitably flee into Sichuan and induce the local Tusi to rebel if they did not continue to rebel in Kuidong.

There are three roads into Sichuan in the world, Hanzhong is the smoothest into Sichuan, Guizhou is the longest into Sichuan, and the most dangerous one is through Kuidong, Zigui area.

As a result, Luo Keduo became the general of the Huguang garrison, and he was also in charge of the Qing army in Sichuan.

Recently, his subordinates have detected that the remnants of the Great Western Army have entered Sichuan, and it seems that they are in contact with the Dajinchuan side.

Luo Keduo originally wanted to wait for them to gather, and then catch them in a net, who would have thought that at this juncture, something happened in the north!

"Zhuo Butai grew up eating!"

Luo Keduo was so angry that he couldn't help but burst into foul language.

"The master is angry, that Zhu San is too insidious, the master must have forgotten, that Zhu San was in Beijing the year before last, but he was in the capital ......"

The coated minion and Shunlai lowered their voices.

Luo Keduo was stunned for a moment, and then smiled bitterly.

Standing in his position, he can naturally see who has benefited the most from Zhuo Butai's defeat.

Their clan is in the same vein, but they are forced to be anxious by Aobai!

His own brother lost the battle this time, didn't he send a handle to deal with Aobai?

At this moment, a disciple suddenly came in a hurry: "Master, the envoy of the court has arrived, saying that there is a decree issued to the master." ”

"Burn incense! Let the next person get ready to bathe! ”

Luo Keduo didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly ordered, and then said in a low voice: "Where did it come from?" ”

Menzi replied: "Master, it was sent by the Queen Mother, and the leading eunuch said that this was the will of the Middle Palace. ”

The corners of Rocodo's mouth curled into a smile.

There is no hand that has been worshipped!

This shows that Zhuo Butai was defeated, and the Queen Mother pulled back a game!

In this way, this Zhuo Butai can be regarded as doing a good thing.

"What about people?" Rocodo asked

Menzi hurriedly said: "Master, I have already arranged to serve tea in the front garden." ”

The subordinates were busy burning incense and preparing hot water, but Luo Keduo flicked the dust that did not exist on his body and walked to the vestibule with Heshun.

Incense must be burned, as for bathing......

Just make it look like it, can you really make the envoy wait for half an hour for him to wash himself!

Isn't this waiting to be whitewashed and slaughtered!

In the vestibule, I saw several eunuchs waiting in the vestibule under the escort of Lang Wei.

The eunuch who led the way was an old man next to the Queen Mother, surnamed Liu.

"Yo, it turned out to be Gonggong Liu, Xiao Wang is polite." Luo Keduo nodded with a smile.

Don't look at him as a prince, he can be regarded as the group of people with the highest status except for the prince.

However, in front of the envoy of the Middle Palace, he really didn't dare to offend rashly.

Even though he has an army of 8,000 in his hands, and he is in charge of the huge Sichuan Tianfu, under the Manchu system, these princes are just high-level slaves.

(After Yongzheng set up the military aircraft office, he was the prince, and when the emperor spoke, he also had to kneel to record.) )

With the opening of his hand, Rocodo handed over a stack of papers.

The corners of Liu's mouth hooked, and he quietly stuffed things into his cuffs.

Gonggong Liu reached out and took out the Ming Huang Holy Decree from his cuffs, but his eyes glanced at the paper that Luo Keduo stuffed into him.

It turned out to be a stack of silver tickets, but it seemed that it was a large amount of 500 taels and 1 pieces.

He pinched his cuffs slightly, and found that these silver tickets were about a dozen.

Sure enough, it's a fat difference! Gonggong Liu sighed with emotion, and his eyes were already narrowed with laughter.

"Luo Keduo, the king of Doroping County, takes the order!"

He put the silver ticket in his sleeve pocket and spoke.

"The minion Luo Keduo is here!"

Luo Keduo hurriedly patted the horseshoe sleeve, and after speaking, he winked at Gonggong Liu.

Gonggong Liu smiled at the corner of his mouth, but he didn't make a sound, but a pair of feet stomped on the ground slightly.

Luo Keduo, who knelt on the ground, as if he was about to give the eunuch a job, suddenly became overjoyed.

It turned out to be exalted!

When the eunuchs announced the decree, although they could not reveal the content of the decree in advance, they also had other ways to deal with it.

The eunuchs who went out to announce the decree were accompanied by more than a dozen people, and among these people, no one could say whether there would be anyone who monitored him, so even if he was announcing the decree to "his own people", the eunuch would not reveal the content of the decree in advance.

However, rules are dead, but people are alive.

As long as the silver is in place, the eunuch will immediately treat you as "his own person", and then use some small actions to remind you.

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor edict said: Luo Keduo, the king of Duoluoping County, is loyal and patriotic, first there is a southwest rebellion, and then there is Kuidong to suppress bandits, but also for the heart of Shengqing'an Town, and has been working hard for more than ten years...... Today, Luo Keduo, the king of Doroping County, is the prince of Doroping, and he does not want the prince to be loyal to the country......"

Rocodo rejoiced!

It turned out to be an edict for the promotion of the prince!

Oh my God!

He is a distant sect, and he can even be promoted to prince?

Oh my God, is this pie in the sky?

He actually became a prince?

"Prince Doropin, still not accepted?" Liu Gonggong smiled and saw his nose but did not see his eyes.

It's good to be promoted!

This is promoted, how can you no longer give a "hard fee"?

If he hadn't had this, where would he have asked for another sum of money!

"Slave Luo Keduo received the order, long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live!"

After Luo Keduo knelt three times and bowed nine times, he got up and accepted the order.

He quietly sent a stack of silver tickets again, and then said in a low voice: "Gonggong Liu, I don't know why the imperial court is promoted to this king?" ”

"Oh, my prince, you're far away, and the news is slow!"

Gonggong Liu pinched the "fortunate fee" that was twice as thick as just now, and explained with a smile: "The queen mother has issued a holy decree, and most of the county kings in the court have been promoted to princes!" ”

"That's not all, the Bei Ziye in the court have all been crowned Baylor, and the Baylor masters have all been crowned county kings, as for the remaining Zhenguo and auxiliary generals, those who are eight points are promoted to two levels, and it is better to be promoted to one level than those who are eight points......"

Luo Keduo's face, which was still very excited just now, suddenly seemed to have eaten a fly.

He understood the operation of the Queen Mother.

The month before last, didn't Ao Bai force Xiaozhuang to give himself the title of county king!

Well, Xiaozhuang directly promoted everyone by one level, and even those with eight points were raised by two levels.

As a result, there are hundreds of more princes and county kings, and this prince who worships is naturally worthless!

Luo Keduo's eyes narrowed, Da Yu'er's means are really high!
