Chapter 180: Don't Forget Your True Colors
Now the princes have come to the point of cannibalism for the throne. With his usual temperament, it is normal that he has always been difficult to accept in his heart. Yongwang is an emotional person, and if he doesn't adjust his emotions as soon as possible, he will have to do something one day.
With this guy's character, if he makes trouble, it may not be a trivial matter. That's it, anyway, it's here now, just accompany him for a while. Thinking of this, Huang Qiong looked at King Yong on the side, hesitated for a moment and finally said: "Since the seventh brother is interested, then the younger brother will accompany the seventh brother to go through." It just so happens that the younger brother also wants to understand this famous mountain in Zhongyue. β
Huang Qiong finally nodded, and King Yong didn't say anything. It's just that with the lesson of almost hitting the child last time, this time neither of them ran wildly. However, when returning to the official road, the 100 cavalry who had been chased and lost before, as well as the palace guards who were desperately looking for the two, finally found two people.
Seeing these two masters, they turned back from the other direction, and their bodies were intact. Whether it was the guards of the palace or the envoys who were ordered to lead the team to escort these two, they all breathed a sigh of relief. You must know that the envoy chased down along the way, but he never found Huang Qiong and the others, and almost crashed off the horse without being scared.
The previous assassination of the British king, the angry emperor brought the entire court to a great purge. This time, there is not only the King of England, but also a more troublesome King Yong by his side. If something happened to these two masters, who could guarantee that the angry emperor would not scrape himself alive? searched all the way, and finally found these two masters, this one almost didn't cry on the spot.
Then, the dead and alive refused to leave Huang Qiong and Yongwang half a step. It's just that the hundred cavalry followed behind, but Huang Qiong felt that it was not a thing. Although he traveled with King Yong, it was custom-made to bring a few guards. But with so many sharply armored cavalry, it was not the same thing. This is not just publicity, but unusual publicity.
After thinking about it, Huang Qiong used the excuse that he would first let him return to Beijing to Emperor Ming, and that he and King Yong were going to Songshan to relax. The cavalrymen who wanted to get there and attracted the attention of others were sent away, and only a few guards were brought with them. But the problem is that before he set off, he was repeatedly told by the Minister of Guardians.
Coupled with the experience just now, this makes life and death disagree. The meaning of this somewhat dead-brained military attache from the seventh rank is very clear, either everyone will go together, or everyone will return to Beijing together. In short, it's just a sentence, you two masters should be honest.
You want to go to Songshan to relax, is this problem or not, and I know that I can't stop you two masters, but we will go with you. If you two lords do not follow the holy decree and return to Beijing, anyway, the above will be investigated, and with you two princes on top, it is not your turn to take responsibility for a small one.
But if you two sneak out halfway, if something happens, then I'm unlucky. The emperor has lost three sons in a row, if something goes wrong with the two of you, the emperor may not know what to do with me, a little military attachΓ©. Lao Tzu's head will be crowned a wife in the future, and he can't go crazy with your two princes.
Faced with the envoy who refused to agree, Huang Qiong was also somewhat helpless. On the contrary, King Yong, who had not spoken before, opened his mouth and said to the envoy: "I know that your kid will not agree, because he is afraid that our brothers will have some accident and the emperor will want your head." There are a lot of things happening in Beijing during this time, and it's normal for you kid to have scruples. β
"Our two princes are just empty princes, and we can't give you too many guarantees. In this way, let's each take a step back. You cavalrymen can't go, it will frighten the people. Our brothers went to the mountain to worship the Buddha, not to show off their might. β
"If you kid can get civilian clothes in a short time, pick twenty people to go back with us. As for your soldiers, let the two teams under your command bring them back for you. What do you think? Twenty cavalry plus these guards around us suppose they are enough to keep us safe. β
"Don't be verbose, you kid, agree or not. As you've seen before, our horses are better than yours. If the two of us are really slipping away halfway, you kid won't be able to catch up, where will you go to find us when the time comes. If you lose two princes, the emperor doesn't want to cut off your head. β
After King Yong's words fell, the envoy looked at King Yong, and then at Huang Qiong, who had a low face and didn't speak. After a slight hesitation, he finally nodded. After carefully selecting twenty cavalrymen, he instructed the two teams around him to bring the rest of the men back, and get a few civilian clothes for these people as soon as possible.
It's not that this has really figured it out, but King Yong's previous words really gave him a wake-up call. The mounts under these two masters are not comparable to the war horses they are riding. If it really provokes these two masters, they are slipping away halfway, where can they find them when Songshan is so big.
Instead of a hard top, it's better to go with the flow. Anyway, he has an official position, and Dengfeng, like Gongyi, is located within the scope of the imperial mausoleum. There are also 1,500 people in the territory, guarding the so-called Houlong Feng Shui. If there is really any accident, it will be too late to transfer troops from the Tomb Guard. If you go with them, you can at least keep an eye on them and don't make any more moths.
Although this envoy has a rigid head, he doesn't have the ability to execute. His subordinates also had some skills, and in less than half an hour, they didn't know where to find more than 20 sets of civilian clothes. Afraid that these two masters would lose their patience and annoyance, they took off their armor and changed into civilian clothes, and they didn't care if the clothes on their bodies fit or not, so they jumped on their horses and came to Huang Qiong and King Yong.
Seeing that this envoy was temporarily looking for him, the upper half was too long, and the lower half was obviously half short, and it was obviously not a piece of clothing. Huang Qiong could still calm down, but the Yongwang beside him pointed to the other people around him, and scolded with a smile: "Are you in a hurry? What do you look like in this dress?
"And look at the clothes of your subordinates, obviously a military man with a big waist and a round waist, but he is wearing a scholar's robe. What kind of body does it become when you wear it? If this is seen by others, we are still a bunch of bandits. Go swap with your subordinates and see if you can get the right fit. β
"Grandma, you can't steal these clothes from anyone's house, right? This short fight is not a set, and the long shirt is not a good one. Don't worry, since your seventh master promised to take you with him, he will definitely not slip away halfway. Go and adjust your clothes first, don't let his grandmother wear them out and embarrass the court. β
As soon as King Yong's words fell, Huang Qiong, who had not spoken on the side, looked at this group of military men who looked slightly funny after changing their clothes. He also frowned, pointed at the group of embarrassed people with a horsewhip, and said calmly: "No matter when, even if you are wearing civilian clothes, you must remember that you are my soldiers of Daqi." β
"As a soldier of my great ranks, you must walk like the wind, stand like a pine, and sit like a clock. Even if the clothes on the body can't be neatly aligned, they must not be as messy as they are now. You have to tell the court at all times, tell me that the people under the rule of Great Qi, and all the people in this world, are a group of iron-blooded warriors who cannot be defeated or destroyed. β
"Let all the enemies who dare to invade my Great Qi be afraid when they see you. But look at what you are like now. Loose, still like a warrior there? King Yong said that you are like a group of bandits, and I think you are still light. Now you are simply a bunch of bandits who have lost the battle. β
"The performance of your previous guardian along the way, this king will not say much, and you should also have a number in your hearts. One by one, loose and frustrated, in addition to squeamishness and grandeur, there is a trace of the spirit that an iron-blooded army should have? This king wants to question you, do you not do anything but stand guard and make daily inspections? β
"But before your performance, this king doesn't want to judge. Because that's the matter of the front of the palace, and of your respective commanders. But if you want to follow this king, you will definitely not be able to behave like that before. I know that you are all the Royal Forest Army, and as the pro-army of the Son of Heaven, there is almost no chance of going to war. β
"But no matter what your position is, you must always remember that you are a soldier of my Great Qi Dynasty, a soldier who defends the dignity of the imperial court and national security. The Art of War: Victory is the main thing, and victory is the first thing. As the pro-army of the Son of Heaven, you must have the momentum to overwhelm all enemies. is not the arrogance cultivated by blindly arrogant as the Son of Heaven and the army. β
"What is the use of an army that doesn't even have a little murderous aura on its body? The state and the imperial court spend a lot of money and grain every year to feed an army that can't go to the battlefield and can only stand guard and patrol? As an army, is it still called an army if it doesn't have wolf nature? Sadly, this king does not see this in you. β
"What this king is telling you today is that even if your current duty is only to stand guard and patrol, no one can guarantee that you will not go to war in your life. And because of your present comfort, we must not forget your identity and true colors. Even if you are wearing civilian clothes, you still have to show the momentum of a soldier. β
"This king hopes that you have not forgotten the courage that you should have had in your blood at the beginning of your military career. When I give you a stick of incense, take care of my body. If you have a stick of incense, you can't take care of yourself. Don't say that this king doesn't give you face, give me all the way back. β
"As King Yong said, we don't want to go out with a bunch of bandits and be embarrassed. I don't want others to say that the court is raising a bunch of waste. As for how to deal with business after returning to Beijing, that's your own business. Remember, you only have a stick of incense, and this king and the eternal king will not wait. β
In fact, on the way to escort the coffin of the Middle Palace from the capital to the imperial tomb, Huang Qiong was very dissatisfied with the performance of these royal forest troops. One by one, they were loose and crumbling, and their spirit was almost completely gone. In addition to the arrogance on his face, he was left to barely speak when he stood and performed various great rituals after entering the imperial tomb. But there was nothing but the fancy shelves.
When he rode with King Yong, he did not take the official road to return to the capital directly, but took another fork in the road. But when these people passed by the three-way intersection, they didn't even send a person to dismount to check the traces. It wasn't until he found that he and King Yong couldn't find it that he turned around and went back to look for himself.
It is estimated that if it weren't for himself and King Yong, in order to go to Songshan and turn back to the main road, these soldiers don't know how long they would have to look. As the pro-army of the Son of Heaven, he didn't even have this vigilance. It can be seen that the comfortable life in the capital for many years has made these soldiers look like.
