Chapter 312: They Are Not My Soldiers
After the old eunuch sent by Chen Xu and Chen Shubao muttered a few words in a low voice, they came to Xiao Yao with a grim face and said coldly: "General Xiao is so majestic today, so high-spirited, his face is full of red light, it seems that his body has recovered!" General Xiao is really a hero out of a young man, he has just recovered from a serious illness over there, and Jinling City has already been made full of wind and rain here, and even His Majesty is alarmed, so let our family immediately go out of the palace and bring General Xiao into the palace to face the saint! General Xiao, let these subordinate soldiers stop and return to the barracks outside the city immediately, lest Your Majesty pursue them and delay the future of these soldiers! Just now, His Majesty heard that these soldiers gathered to make trouble and openly smashed the Four Seasons Restaurant, but there was a thunderous fire, and he kept asking who led these soldiers and who let them into the city! ”
"Thank you father-in-law for reminding me, I'll let them go out of the city immediately, and then return to Shouyang immediately, away from this troubled water! In fact, this incident can't blame us soldiers for being too impulsive, we can only blame the boss Zhang of the Four Seasons Restaurant for being too arrogant and cheap, and scolded us Northern Expedition soldiers as hooligans and scoundrels, which broke the hearts of our soldiers who fought bloodily for the country on the battlefield! Xiao Yao saluted and said, after all, this father-in-law is Emperor Chen Xu's confidant, and he also intentionally revealed to himself the current situation of Chen Xu's anger, so Xiao Yao still has to give him face!
So Xiao Yao found Wu Dexun, and then asked him to immediately lead these more than 1,000 soldiers out of the city, and then packed up all the supplies and immediately boarded the ship and left Jinling City!
"Shiro, it's been such a pleasure today! I finally understand why so many soldiers want to be your subordinates and follow you to fight together, it turns out that Shiro acts so casually, so straightforwardly, so free and easy, he does it when he says he does it, he doesn't take anyone else in his eyes at all, he is confident enough, domineering enough! I can't imagine that we dare to smash this famous Four Seasons Restaurant into such a tragic situation! Ha ha! Back then, the Four Seasons Restaurant was a place where even my uncle and grandfather couldn't come and go at will, where the rich and powerful ate, drank and enjoyed themselves! And they have His Royal Highness the Crown Prince behind him, now, I have offended His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for the sake of Shiro, you have to take more care of my brother and me in the future! Wu Dexun said excitedly with an unfinished face, looking at him as if he was not afraid of offending the crown prince Chen Shubao because of this incident, and he didn't blame Xiao Yao for using them as a guard to compete with Chen Shubao!
"Brother Wu has won the prize! I Xiao Yao has clear grievances and grievances, and I am a person who is sincere to me and good to me, I naturally regard him as my brother, if my brother is insulted, of course I have to stand up and find dignity for my brothers! Although we smashed this Four Seasons Restaurant with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince behind our back, the truth is on our side, and His Majesty has already intervened, I believe that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will not dare to do anything to Brother Wu! But this time, His Majesty wants me to enter the palace, and I believe that I can't avoid the scolding and punishment, and maybe I will lose my official position! Therefore, in order to reduce unnecessary troubles for Brother Wu, Brother Wu still took his brothers and rushed back to Shouyang City immediately to report his life to Governor Wu! Xiao Yao said gratefully.
This time he did use Wu Decun as a gun, and used Wu Dexun's people to smash Chen Shubao's Four Seasons Restaurant, which is equivalent to pulling this Wu Mingche's own nephew into the party struggle above Chen Guo's court, which will definitely make Wu Mingche, who has been far away from the political struggle in the imperial court, and Wu Mingche, who protects himself, is furious, with Wu Mingche's old fox grudge character, he will definitely find himself for more benefits as compensation in the future! But Xiao Yao didn't care about this, anyway, he Wu Mingche dared to leave this guard in Jinling City, and only listened to Xiao Yao's command, then he should have a hunch that Xiao Yao would definitely use them to do something unexpected, after all, Xiao Yao is also a little fox who refuses to suffer, who called this guard to eat and drink for free in the general casino for so many days before, these expenses have made Song Ke'er, a little money fan, hurt for a long time!
And this time Xiao Yao's purpose is to make things bigger, to let everyone know that he Xiao Shilang is back, and he is still the arrogant Xiao Shilang who was not afraid of heaven and earth before! Even if his backstage Chen Shuling has lost his position now, he is still not something that anyone can bully casually, even if it is the prince!
"Haha, now that things are so big, even His Majesty is angry, it seems that Shiro is difficult to protect himself, but seeing that you are calm and relaxed, you have a good idea, and you also told me to leave Jinling quickly This is a place of wrong, I know that Shiro must have already thought of a countermeasure! Good! Brother Wu doesn't have the courage to be in danger like Shiro! If I hadn't drunk a few jars of wine just now and strengthened my courage, I wouldn't have dared to smash this Four Seasons Restaurant! Then Brother Wu will lead the troops to escape first, leaving Shiro here alone to carry the black pot! Ha ha! Wu Dexun laughed and said, he knew that since Xiao Yao dared to let them go first, then he would definitely be able to solve it alone!
"Brother Wu rest assured to leave, this is not a big deal, it is just a small Four Seasons Restaurant, what are you afraid of! When I was a grass citizen, I already dared to fold the face of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in public, and now I have military merits and military positions, and I don't have to be afraid of anyone! However, after Brother Wu returned to Shouyang City, he was inevitably severely punished by Governor Wu! Xiao Yao also teased with a relaxed face.
"Then it's fine, it's not that I haven't been punished by my uncle and grandfather, our Wu family's child, I was beaten the hardest by him! At least I've been with Shiro once today! Okay, big brother, I'll take people back to Shouyang City immediately, Shiro, you have to be careful in Jinling, if you really can't bear it, then rush back to Shouyang City immediately, when the time comes, there will be Brother Wu to protect you, no one will dare to attack you, and my uncle and grandfather will treat you as closer than his own grandson! Wu Dexun said with a sincere face!
"Good! When the time comes, I won't be able to get along in Jinling City, so I'll go to Brother Wu! After Brother Wu returns to Shouyang, he must also be more careful and beware of the sneak attack of the Qi army, after all, we are still in the Northern Expedition! Xiao Yao saluted and said.
Then Wu Decun shouted loudly, and more than a thousand soldiers quickly gathered, lined up, and then clapped their hands, and quickly ran out of the city without taking a single cloud with them! Of course, the guards and thugs brought by Chen Shubao and Jing Zhaoyin did not dare to stop them, and could only watch this group of demolition teams flee the scene in public!
Seeing Wu Dexun retreat quickly with all the soldiers, Xiao Yao came to the eunuch with a calm face, and then said with a smile: "Father-in-law, these soldiers have been evacuated, and there will definitely be no more trouble, then let's hurry up and enter the palace to face the saint!" ”
"General Xiao really has the demeanor of a general, and he has no intention of being afraid at all, we admire it! I hope that General Xiao will be so relaxed and calm in front of His Majesty later, and then explain to His Majesty well! The old eunuch also smiled and said, and then took Xiao Yao and quickly ran towards the palace.
And Chen Shubao, who was still angry, immediately followed, because he wanted to stomp on Xiao Yao a few times in front of Chen Xu! So, in the curious eyes of many onlookers, all the murderers who were still smashing the Four Seasons Restaurant just now have all left safely, and the entire crime scene is only left with a speechless Jing Zhaoyin, and the group of guards he brought with a confused face and don't know what to do! And the Four Seasons Restaurant, which used to be the largest restaurant in Chen Country, has now been smashed beyond recognition, and it is a mess, and Boss Zhang, who has been so angry that he vomits blood and is in a coma, is also taken away from the scene under the whispering, pointing and snickering of everyone!
。。。。。。 fast
This is the second time in Xiao Yao's life that he has entered the palace, or is it the same as the first time, Xiao Yao was quickly taken to Chen Xu's imperial study by the old eunuch, but this time in the entire imperial study, there was only one Chen Xu with an angry face!
Chen Shubao, whose eyes seemed to be angry, also followed into the imperial study, and then, in the entire spacious and famous imperial study, there were only Xiao Yao with a calm face and an expressionless old eunuch, as well as the angry Chen father and son, the four of them did not speak, and the atmosphere was so quiet that it seemed a little embarrassing!
"Xiao Yao! You are guilty! Chen Xu broke the silence, picked up a thick book, slammed the table hard, and then said loudly.
"The last will be convicted!" Xiao Yao replied loudly.
"If you are guilty of crimes, why do you dare to commit murder, in broad daylight, in full view of everyone, you mobilize the army privately, and then openly smash the Four Seasons Restaurant, each of these crimes can allow me to punish you for capital crimes!" Chen Xu was furious, pointed at Xiao Yao and scolded loudly.
"The last general did smash the Four Seasons Restaurant, and he was willing to receive the punishment, but this was also a last resort to maintain the dignity and morale of our Dachen Northern Expedition soldiers! Does Your Majesty know how this Zhang Dai scolded us? He scolded us soldiers as scoundrels and told us to get out of here and not do the business of us vulgar and lowly people! Your Majesty, when you heard this Zhang Dai's insults to us soldiers, could you still sit idly by? If we, the soldiers who shed their blood for the sake of the country on the battlefield, sacrificed their lives and forgot their deaths, and fought bravely, returned to the country they protected with their lives, but were humiliated and ruthlessly scolded by our own people in every way, it would inevitably make all the soldiers feel cold! Your Majesty, we will also attack the Qi State under your wise command, take Huaibei, and unify the Central Plains, and at this critical moment, our morale must not be hit! Therefore, even if the last general knows that he is guilty, he will vent this evil breath for the soldiers! Xiao Yao looked heroic and fearless, and said righteously!
"You're quibbling! Although Zhang Dai was careless in his words, it was also under your provocation to him that he was angry for a while! Moreover, you mobilized the army privately, and let this army of more than 1,000 people enter Jinling City without His Majesty's order, this is the important place of Gyeonggi, how can you allow you to gather troops at will! Erchen begged His Majesty to punish Xiao Yao severely, so as to set an example, so that others would never dare to commit it again! Chen Shubao said with an indignant face.
"Just now, His Majesty and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince have been saying that the last general has mobilized troops privately, and what the last general wants to say is that they are not the last general's soldiers! They were just guards sent by Wu Dudu to escort the last general back to Jinling, but they were not under the command of the last general! The forward brigade of the troops under the command of the last general has been defeated in the battle of Linying County, and the surviving soldiers are still in Jiangcheng! Xiao Yao said with an innocent face.
Sure enough, Chen Xu and Chen Shubao's father and son were stunned at the same time!
Yes, this guard is indeed the guard sent by Wu Mingche to protect Xiao Yao's return to Jinling, and Wu Mingche has also reported to Chen Xu, because it is led by Wu Mingche's nephew himself, so Chen Xu also agreed to let this guard led by Wu Dexun leave in batches, leaving some soldiers to continue to stay in Jinling to protect Xiao Yao, but nominally and in terms of establishment, this guard is not Xiao Yao's troops!
"This, even if they are not your troops, they are still under your command, and then openly gather in the Four Seasons Restaurant to make trouble!" Chen Shubao argued.
"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, please understand that they have their own commander for this guard, and they don't need to listen to the command of the last general at all! This time it was only the last general who had just recovered from a serious illness, and these soldiers had escorted the last general back to Jinling, so the last general decided to hold a feast and invite the soldiers of this guard to the Four Seasons Restaurant to drink and celebrate! Xiao Yao said with an innocent expression.
"You, you sharp-toothed Xiao Shilang, full of crooked reasoning! Your Majesty, he deliberately went to the Four Seasons Restaurant to gather people to make trouble in the name of banquets! Moreover, this guard left their posts without permission, and more than a thousand people actually entered Jinling City, if they tried to do wrong, the consequences would be unimaginable! Chen Shubao looked nervous and said alarmistly.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, they are the guards sent by the Governor of Wu to protect the last general, and they followed the last general into the city to eat and drink, which can be regarded as protecting the last general, how can it be said that they left their posts without permission? And they are all in civilian clothes, they don't wear armor, they don't have weapons in their hands, they are just a group of soldiers on vacation, to put it bluntly, they are just ordinary people of Chen Guo who live outside the city, and they just went to the city for a banquet today! Why did His Royal Highness the Crown Prince frame us like this! Usually, those important ministers of the court, and even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince themselves privately set up wine and banquets, and then invited many dignitaries and nobles, and they brought their own entourage and guards, so the total number is more than 1,000 people, so is this also considered a bad plot? Xiao Yao retorted.
"You, you're a bloody squirt! Where did this palace come from to plot wrong! Chen Shubao hurriedly denied it, after all, he was the crown prince, and during this time, he suppressed Xingwang Chen Shuling so much that he couldn't raise his head, and the momentum was booming, and he often set up wine and banquets, and invited many ministers of the DPRK and the Central People's Republic of China to take the opportunity to win over, and these behaviors are also the easiest to misunderstand Chen Xu!
"In that case, then why did His Royal Highness the Crown Prince frame the last general for plotting against him? His Royal Highness can entertain ministers and nobles, but can't the last general entertain these soldiers who escort the last general's return? Is it because they are all poor people from low backgrounds, so they are not qualified to go to the Four Seasons Restaurant to feast and drink? His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is also the same as that Zhang Dai, looking down on us humble soldiers who were born and died for the country? Xiao Yao's eyes were red, and he said with a sad and angry look.
