Early the next morning, Gao Shishi issued a card in the name of the Bingxian Yamen, and summoned the commanders of the four guards of Jinfuhai in southern Liaoning to rush to the Gaizhou Bingxian Yamen on the first day of August to hold a meeting.

During the period from the time when the licensing and convening department was about to the official meeting, Gao Pragmatic was not idle, first put some of the construction projects he had planned to carry out in southern Liaoning on the agenda, and wrote letters to the various branches of Jinghua, asking them to start acting according to the plan.

Then he personally went to Yingkou Port to inspect the development of Yingkou, and when he returned to Gaizhou, it was already the end of July, and it was about to reach the specified meeting time.

Although the meeting time was the first day of August, the Shangguan convened, and the subordinates of course could not get stuck on the point of "arriving on time", and must arrive in advance and visit the Shangguan.

However, until the night before the meeting, there were only three people who came to visit Gao Shishi, namely Jiang Enyuan, the commander of Gaizhouwei, Pu Yuanyi, the commander of Haizhouwei, and Cao Jian, the commander of Jinzhouwei.

The rest of the Fuzhou Wei commanders have never appeared.

Gao pragmatic waited until nearly midnight on this night, then sneered and went to bed expressionlessly.

The next day, the meeting was officially convened in the military and constitutional yamen, and in addition to the commanders and envoys of the guards, Kong Dongru, the general of the Haigai Staff, was invited to attend the meeting.

Jiang Enyuan, Pu Yuanyi, and Cao Jian, the three commanders, all came to the military and constitutional yamen early, while Kong Dongru, the general of the Haigai, did not come in a hurry until less than a stick of incense before the meeting.

To his surprise, when he was brought into the flower hall by Gao Shipra's family, he found that Gao Shishi, as the main lord and Shangguan, had actually arrived in advance.

Leaders generally do not arrive at the meeting place in advance, this is a habit throughout the ages, this situation is not entirely the leader to put on a show, in fact, this is also for the subordinates to consider - if the leaders have arrived, your subordinates have not arrived, isn't it embarrassing? However, since the leader arrived early, as long as the subordinates were not late, they were very wronged.

But there was obviously an accident today, Gao Shishi, the Shangguan who appeared in the conference hall one step ahead of Kong Dongru.

Kong Dongru was secretly shocked in his heart, immediately became cautious, stepped forward quickly, and saluted: "The last general, Kong Dongru, has seen the military constitution!" The end will be too late, please surrender to the soldiers! ”

In peacetime, the honorific title of the military preparation road is mostly "observation", which emphasizes its civilian attributes, and when it comes to military affairs, it is often called "military constitution", which emphasizes that it has the right to supervise and manage the army.

At this time, Kong Dongru called "Bingxian" in his mouth, which meant admitting his subordinates, which was also his subconscious behavior after he became cautious just now, and he probably expressed his softness.

Gao Pragmatic didn't seem to mean to be angry, smiled slightly, and said: "Kong Shenrong is not late, and he is almost a stick of incense early, what is the crime?" Please get up and sit down. ”

"Yes, the last general Xie Bingxian is not guilty."

No matter if he is late, it is not wrong to admit it first, so as not to be stared at, especially if the other party is his immediate boss and is also a civilian official, then it cannot be ignored, this is Kong Dongru's experience gained from many years in the army.

As soon as Kong Dongru sat down, he found that there was something wrong with the atmosphere in the flower hall, he quietly looked at it, and immediately found the problem - Gao Shishi, the chief official, was sitting in danger, but he didn't say a word, and the other three commanders were not at enough level, and they didn't dare to take the initiative to speak.

In fact, the "level" of the commander is not low, and the actual status is low.

Why didn't Gao Bingxian say a word?

Kong Dongru looked at it quietly, and suddenly felt terrified - what about Li Rugui, the commander of the Fuzhou Guard?

Fuzhou Wei commander Li Rugui, this person is Li Chengliang's nephew! [Note: Baidu Encyclopedia 'Li Chengliang' entry is written as one of Li Chengliang's sons, which should be incorrect.] Li Chengliang did not "have nine sons", but five sons and four nephews, and the five sons were such as pine, such as cypress, such as zhen, such as camphor, and such as plum; The four nephews are Ruzi, Ruwu, Rugui, Runan, and even he has "nephews" such as stalks. ]

Where did Li Rugui die?

Kong Dongru suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, especially when he saw Gao Shishi not saying a word, but with a smile on his face that became more and more weird the more he looked at it, his whole heart hung up.

Oops, this can't be an example to the monkeys, right? Li Rugui, Li Rugui, you just fucking seek death by yourself, but don't bother Lao Tzu!

Kong Dongru's throat moved, and his lips moved, but after struggling for a long time, he still couldn't speak.

There are two key reasons, one is that he doesn't know where Li Rugui has gone, if he helps to cover it up at will, in case he is exposed in the future, Gao Pragmatic will be a soldier who will be ready to join him, it will be his job!

Second, he settled down just now, and he felt that Gao Pragmatic should not have done anything to Li Rugui - after all, this is Liaodong, and it is easy to move others, and it is not a joke to move the people of the Li family.

Although Gao Bingxian is young, he has the honor of six champions, and he has the merit of stabilizing the south and the north, no matter how you look at it, he should be a person who knows the priorities, and he will not be unaware of the situation in Liaodong - Li Zongrong is the purple gold beam of Liaodong and the white jade pillar of the sky, how can the court make him resentful? he

The 40,000 athletes under Li Zongrong's hands are the strong team of the Ming Dynasty! Who would dare to provoke him?

Who would dare?

"The hour has come." Gao pragmatic opened his mouth lightly, and asked Kong Dongru: "Kong Shenrong, who is the commander of the Fuzhou Guard?" ”

Although Kong Dongru had already decided in his heart that Gao Pragmatic would not do anything to Li Rugui, but now that he asked so knowingly, Kong Dongru's heart was still worried, but he didn't dare not answer, so he could only swallow a mouthful of foam secretly, and his voice trembled: "Nai...... It's Li Rugui. ”

After saying this, you felt that it was not safe, and the ghost made a god to add: "Ah, he is Ning Yuan's nephew!" ”

When Gao Pragmatic heard this, he seemed to be a little stunned, and asked rhetorically: "Is Kong Shenrong's words true?" Is he really the nephew of Brother Ruqi? ”

Kong Dongru didn't hear the trap in Gao Pragmatic's words, he only thought that Gao Pragmatic, the old man of the military constitution, had been a civil official for too long, and he didn't pay too much attention to the military generals under him, so he really didn't know Li Rugui's origin.

This made him breathe a sigh of relief, and said in his heart: Now you know his origin, and you call Ning Yuanbo "Brother Ruqi", it seems that the friendship is not bad, so there must be no problem.

Now that he is relieved, Kong Dongru's expression looks much more natural, and he can even barely squeeze out an ugly smile, nod again and again, and replied: "Seriously, seriously, exactly, exactly." ”

Gao Pragmatic seemed to be stunned for a moment, and then his face was sad, and he said with a regretful face: "Unexpectedly, Brother Ruqi has been a hero all his life, and the sons under his knees are also extraordinary, especially the eldest son Rusong, who has even beheaded the enemy chieftain before...... Unexpectedly, there is such a nephew as Li Rugui, who even dares to discuss matters in the army, and he is the only scum in Brother Ruqi's family! ”

Kong Dongru's brain exploded with a "boom" - why do you say that? What do you want?

Gao Pragmatic seemed to know what was going on in his head, and quickly answered him.

"You shouldn't call your name, you can't call it at the right time, you won't be able to violate the deadline, change the law of the division, this is called a slow army, and the offender will be beheaded." Gao Pragmatic sighed lightly, and under the sluggish expressions of Kong Dongru and the three commanders, he said with emotion: "For the sake of Brother Ruqi's first generation, it seems that I have to help him clean up the portal today." ”

Kong Dongru was really stunned, and he couldn't react until now, and looked at Gao Shipra with a blank face of "helping Brother Ruqi clean up the portal", and didn't say anything to stop it.

"Come on, issue a card in the name of this soldier's constitution, and immediately lock up Li Rugui to Gaizhou to ask for a break!"
