Chapter 181: Emperor Taiqian dies
50,000 taels of silver is enough to support the current military salary in Mucheng, but there is no reasonable money in the army, so Zhang Xiaowu invited Ruan Qingwen to temporarily act as the right Sima of Mucheng to assist in the calculation of military salaries. He planned to pay a salary before Xiao Kai's wedding, and also let his brothers be arrogant. Ruan Qingwen is a master of accounting and calculated it in less than half a day, Zhang Xiaowu took Wang Yijin and Bai Hao, and carried the silver to the military camps to release military salaries.
Everyone's eyes fell out, and even after taking the silver, they couldn't believe it, and they all cheered, which made the old soldiers who had already taken the return order regret it a lot.
A few days later, Xiao Kai finally married the "Iron Hammer Sister" he had been interested in for a long time, and everyone couldn't figure out why Xiao Kai didn't marry Xingzhi, except for a smile with two dimples and a weight that was about to catch up with Bai Hao's fat man - what other advantages does this Xingzhi girl have? The only explanation may be that the lover's eyes are shih h.
On the day of Xiao Kai's wedding, Zhang Xiaowu took all the officials to congratulate, but he didn't expect Xingzhi to insist on putting her mother's house in Lichun Building.
Everyone rode horses and carried the lady to Lichun Building, picked up the bride, and then swaggered back to Xiao Kai's home. The surrounding neighbors talked a lot, and they all suspected which family had married a woman from a prostitution house, and when they saw the protection of the soldiers around, they realized that it was an officer.
"These soldiers are also poor and crazy, and even marry prostitutes."
"What kind of prostitutes are not prostitutes, it is very good for them to have a woman in their lifetime, what kind of wives do you expect these stinky soldiers to marry?"
"It's also said that a good man should not be a soldier, and a good iron should not be a nail."
Zhang Xiaowu sat on a horse in civilian clothes, listening to the gossip of his neighbors, and sighed very emotionally, not to mention that people in this era discriminate against soldiers, even in the modern world in which he lives, it is very difficult for soldiers to marry. The soldiers defended their families and the country in their best years, and they did not have time to accompany the girl to be romantic and sweet, so that many people lost their girlfriends and marriages, so there was a law to protect military marriage.
Zhang Xiaowu gave Xiao Kai the tiger head jade pendant he got by killing Yegu Chashi as a congratulatory gift, Xiao Kai was overjoyed, he coveted this tiger head jade pendant for a long time, laughed and said: "My lord, your marriage is wrapped up in me!" ”
"Fuck off, I have a wife." Zhang Xiaowu scolded with a smile and shouted: "The generals will listen to the order, tonight, let Master Xiao not climb the bride's bed!" Sure enough, that night, everyone drunk Xiao Kai like mud, vomited three times in succession, and lay on the bed for two days before relieving.
Xiao Kai's wedding had just ended, but Wolf Ear suddenly sent a letter to Hu Sanwan and Chen Guanxi, the two were shocked after reading the letter, and immediately reported to Zhang Xiaowu, Wolf Ear's letter was very short, to only a few words: "The emperor died, and the dragon capital was in chaos." ”
Although he guessed that the emperor died, this news still made Zhang Xiaowu a little flustered, and the change in the country was not a trivial matter, Zhang Xiaowu immediately summoned all his henchmen to the secret meeting of the garrison to discuss countermeasures. Everyone was shocked when they heard the news, but Guan Xiang knelt on the ground and bowed to the south, crying and saying: "It's a pity, it's sad, it's a pity, long live my emperor......"
Everyone was surprised in their eyes, this scholar is too emotional, right?
After Guan Xiang cried a few times, he saw that there was no sound left and right, looked up at everyone, and saw that everyone's faces were different, and said in surprise: "How are you ...... Isn't it sad? ”
Zhang Xiaowu really doesn't know why he wants to be sad, this emperor is dead, do you have to cry?
Hu Li was dissatisfied: "What are you sad about? What is there to be sad about. The emperor is gone, isn't there a new emperor? He's not my grandfather, what did he give us besides sending us to fight in this bitter cold land in the north? The grain was planted by the people, the clothes were woven by the people, and the houses were built by the people. ”
Everyone couldn't cry or laugh, thinking about what Hu Li said was very reasonable, what did the emperor do besides sending them to death, obviously living well in the Central Plains, but he was sent to this ghost place to die.
Guan Xiang retorted: "Your Majesty, when you have an official to do. ”
Hu Li smiled strangely: "It's our city lord who does what I do, but it's not the emperor, and the emperor doesn't know me, how can he be my official?" ”
Guan Xiang couldn't refute for a while, but choked up: "Your Majesty is the foundation of the country......
Hu Lidao: "If you say so, then the new emperor will not be able to?" Isn't there a new emperor after the death of the first emperor, as long as there is an emperor, no matter who it is, our Holy Han Empire can't shake the fundamentals. ”
Guan Xiang was so angry that he didn't know what to say, after all, although Hu Li liked to raise the bar, he didn't say the wrong thing in the end.
Zhang Xiaowu said: "One catty, invite Lord Ruan." Seeing that everyone was puzzled, this Ruan Qingwen was really a princeling, and he was also Gu Yong's confidant, so I don't know why he was invited to discuss. Zhang Xiaowu said with a smile: "There is no doubt about Lord Ruan's ability, there is a lack of such a military master in our army, and the princelings are about to be liquidated. He suddenly laughed again and said, "There is also a lack of such a military master in the army, otherwise how will your military salary be calculated, relying on Lao Hu's mouth?" Relying on the ancestor's knife? Or rely on Lao Shen's iron rod? ”
Hu Li stabbed Hu Sanwan and reminded: "What about you?" ”
Hu Sanwan scolded: "You want to make a face." ”
While speaking, Wang Yijin brought Ruan Qingwen here, except for a short time to act as the right Sima, Ruan Qingwen's current identity is only a guest qing, and he doesn't know too many people except Zhang Xiaowu, so he sat aside. When he heard the news of the emperor's death, Ruan Qingwen was so shocked that he covered his mouth and reacted for a long time.
Hu Li smiled: "Why didn't Lord Ruan cry? ”
"Crying?"
"Guan Sima cried when he heard that the emperor had died just now."
Ruan Qingwen said lightly: "The first emperor died, I should indeed cry, woo-" Everyone was curious about how he cried, but saw him wipe the corners of his eyes, and said with a straight face: "It's okay, cry." Everyone couldn't help laughing, but they felt that it was inappropriate for the emperor to laugh as soon as he died, and it was easy not to laugh at this moment, unless he couldn't help it.
Everyone reminisced about the life of the first emperor, Emperor Taiqian's greatest contribution was nothing more than the defeat of the three expeditions to the north, and the failure after twenty years of passing through the north, the only success was only to eradicate the rebellion of King Ning, but the rebellion of King Ning was only in Beijing. To sum up, Emperor Taiqian was warlike but not good at fighting, and all his abilities were in infighting, and his characteristics were perfectly inherited by the prince, so the prince was also defeated, and it was a fiasco.
Zhang Xiaowu asked Ruan Qingwen: "Lord Ruan, how should we deal with the rebellion in Longdu?" ”
Ruan Qingwen stroked his beard, thought carefully and said: "The first emperor died and the dragon capital was in chaos, and it must be a struggle for the throne within the Jingshi." I have been in the Han Dynasty for three hundred years, and the Xuanyuan clan is irreplaceable, so no matter what, the Xuanyuan clan is still firmly seated in the end. Therefore, we can only be calm and do not take drastic measures, so as not to be regarded as the target of public criticism. ”
