Chapter 341: Bribing a Lieutenant (2)
Hearing the generals' arguments, Gao Qiqian smiled lightly and pulled a stool to sit down, smiling like an old fox.
"Hehe, it's good if there is nothing else, General Zuo, I heard that you have gained a lot from suppressing bandits in Hedong."
Zuo Liangyu immediately followed with a smile, and knowingly took out a few silver tickets from his sleeve and handed them over.
"It's not thanks to the care of Father-in-law Gao, the last general can always remember his father-in-law."
Gao Qi didn't change his face and stuffed the silver ticket handed over by Zuo Liangyu into his sleeve, and then looked at the others.
He Renlong, Cao Bianjiao and others also understood, and hurriedly took out the silver ticket and handed it to Gao Qiqian.
Gao Qiqian also did not refuse, and smiled and put the silver tickets into his right sleeve one by one.
Liu Ximing was dumbfounded by this scene, this is too fucking arrogant, and it is so reasonable to collect money.
It's no wonder that Wu Du hated these dead eunuchs.
Gao Qiqian looked around and realized that he had almost received it, so he got up and looked at Liu Ximing, who was dressed as a literati.
"Who is this man?" , he looked at He Renlong and the others.
Cao Bianjiao hurriedly stepped forward to introduce.
Hearing that he was not a person in the army, Gao Qiqian suddenly lacked interest.
"It turned out to be that scholar, our family has heard of you, you know that you are loyal to the country and serve the country at a young age, our family is very happy, and I will be very happy to come to the emperor, do it well, our family is optimistic about you."
Liu Ximing smiled and said, "Thank you, father-in-law." ”
Comrade Xiao Zhu really became a eunuch, Liu Ximing sighed in his heart.
However, this should also be a helpless move for him, Wenchen is not credible, and the generals are not talented, so naturally only his own house slaves are the most reliable.
But Liu Ximing always remembers his identity as a scholar, now is not the day when Wei Zhongxian is in charge, and it is not good for him to show too much attention to Gao Qiqian in front of so many people.
Gao Qiqian waited for a while, and saw that Liu Ximing didn't say anything, so he got up with some disappointment and said: "Okay, our family is here to care about you and others for the emperor, and now that we have seen it, then our family will not delay you from drinking." ”
"Father-in-law walks slowly", and everyone in the tent followed him to the door.
It wasn't until Gao Qiqian left that the tent resumed its lively atmosphere.
"The dead eunuch who killed a thousand knives", whether it was He Renlong, Cao Bianjiao and others, they all scolded in a low voice.
"Has the palace eunuch always been so arrogant? Dare to ask for bribes during the day. ”
Liu Ximing sat down next to Cao Bianjiao and asked.
Cao Bianjiao snorted coldly, "It has always been like this, these eggless people are slaves of the Son of Heaven, and they have always acted unscrupulously. ”
Just finished scolding, Cao Bianjiao became a little helpless.
"However, the generals are not necessarily reluctant to pay bribes, the imperial court reprimands us and other warriors three times a month, and it is even more common to depose and dismiss officials, and it is beneficial for us to follow the path of these lieutenants."
He Renlong's drunken ass fell to the seat next to him, and his words were full of wine.
"Dog's melon, what Lao Cao said is, the imperial court, hmph, when did the imperial court treat us martial artists as people, today I want you to fight this, tomorrow I want you to do this, has anyone the hell asked us what we think?"
"It's all his mother's literati instructions, I Lao He understands, we are the rake of dung in their hands, call you a general when you need it, and you feel stinky even when it's useless."
As he spoke, He Renlong actually laughed, but Liu Ximing felt that this laughter was a little desolate.
"In this way, we are really the same people as these eunuchs, they are just stool in the eyes of civil officials, where do you say we will go if we don't follow their path?"
Liu Ximing was silent.
At this time, the soldiers outside the tent entered the tent and poured wine, and He Renlong's head was stunned by a cold wind.
He reacted to what he had just said, and hurriedly smiled at Liu Ximing with his tongue wide.
"Liu, Liu Gongzi, I'm a rough person, I can't talk with my brain, don't take it to heart because of you."
Liu Ximing looked at He Renlong's flushed face and felt a little sad, even if he knew that this guy had a bad reputation and even liked to plunder, he still hugged He Renlong's shoulder.
"Where is there any bullshit Liu Gongzi, you can afford to call me brother, come, do it."
"Hahaha, Brother Liu is refreshing, it's done."
Not only He Renlong, Zuo Liangyu and others also laughed and cheered.
Seeing that everyone in the tent was already drunk to eight points, Liu Ximing said to Cao Bianjiao beside him, flashed out of the big tent, and pulled Shao Derong out when he walked to the door.
Li Biao and Wei Jingguo were standing outside the tent, and when they saw Liu Ximing coming out, they hurriedly surrounded them.
"Second brother, are you going to be a compliment?"
Liu Ximing took a few steps forward to look at the bonfires lit everywhere in the camp, and the light released by the torches illuminated the entire camp, but the camp was full of tents, completely blocking the view.
He looked carefully and didn't find what he was looking for, so he pulled Li Biao and the others out a few steps to avoid the many soldiers in front of the tent.
"Have you ever seen Zhongguan Gao Qiqian and the others go, which direction?"
Li Biao immediately pointed in the direction of the city gate, "The other way you go." ”
Liu Ximing didn't say much more, and waved his hand at Li Biao and the others to follow.
It is inconvenient to take a sedan chair in the camp, and Gao Qiqian obviously has to walk for a while, and Liu Ximing and the others did not go far before they saw them.
Two people who looked like little eunuchs walked in front with lanterns, and more than a dozen sergeants escorted the left and right, raising their hands and slowly moving forward.
"Who?"
The guards guarding Gao Qiqian's side heard the footsteps behind him, pulled out his waist knife with a bang, and looked at Liu Ximing and the others vigilantly.
The temples were a little gray, and he turned to look at it, and when he realized that it was the young man he had seen in the big tent just now, he waved his hand to the guards to relax.
"Liu Xi ordered to meet Grandpa Gao." , Liu Ximing also stopped and bowed.
A smile appeared on the well-maintained face of Gao Qidive.
"Is there something wrong with Xiucai looking for our family?"
"Don't dare to be called that", Liu Ximing glanced at the people around Gao Qiqian, "Can you ask your father-in-law to speak like this?" ”
Gao Qiqian looked around at the few people around him amusedly, nodded and followed Liu Ximing to the edge of the tent next to him.
Liu Ximing couldn't hold back the discomfort of the aroma on Gao Qiqian's body, and said with a smile: "I don't want the name of a student to enter the ears of Gao Gonggong, I don't know what it means that Your Majesty will be happy when Gao Gonggong said?" ”
As he spoke, Liu Ximing arched his hand towards the north.
Gao Qiqian's gaze at Liu Ximing was full of playfulness.
"Governor Hong's letter of retribution, our family has read it, didn't it mention your matter, just a few talents know how to serve the country loyally, no wonder Governor Hong wants to make a special trip to report, this kind of thing can the emperor not be happy."
Seeing a smile on Liu Ximing's face, he said something meaningfully.
"But this kind of thing can be big or small, and the court also needs to verify whether it is true, so don't think too much about it."
Liu Ximing heard the meaning of Gao Qi's subtext, but he didn't come out specifically for this matter.
These group of lieutenants have reached the heavens, and if Liu Ximing wants to come out as soon as possible, it is the fastest way to get in touch with them.
Of course, it is still necessary to try to avoid being known by others, so Liu Ximing drove out in secret.
"That's natural, this kind of thing has to be cautious, but with Father-in-law Gao, I think Your Majesty will also inquire."
After Liu Ximing finished speaking, he smiled and took out a stack of silver tickets from his sleeve and quietly handed them over to Gao Qiqian.
This kid is on the road!
In the faint light, Gao Qiqian saw Liu Ximing's movements clearly, and his delicate and white right hand instantly took the silver ticket.
Touching the thickness of the silver ticket, Gao Qi was quite shocked by Liu Ximing's generosity.
He narrowed his eyes at Liu Ximing.
"Xiao Xiucai, you know that our family can help you say a few words at most, and the rest of our family can't help much."
Liu Ximing hurriedly smiled: "The student naturally knows that Gonggong Gao serves His Majesty on behalf of the people of the world, so we should naturally express it, of course, if Gonggong Gao can say a few good words for the student and the student's little brother Shao Rong, then I am grateful." ”
Gao Qiqian glanced at Shao Derong, who was dressed as a general, and didn't take him to heart, he was just a young general.
On the contrary, it was Liu Ximing's words.
Gao Qi squinted his eyes, "Xiao Xiucai, you are a scholar, if anyone does not regard us as eunuchs, you are not afraid that you will get close to our family and miss your future?" ”
Liu Ximing looked upright, "What Gonggong Gao said, who is loyal and who is treacherous should be judged by what he does, how can he be judged by whether he is a lieutenant or not." ”
"Today, there are many greedy, cruel and unkind people among the gentry, and there are also people like my father-in-law who are loyal to the state like my father-in-law.
