Chapter 11: Qin Qi
The news of the mutiny of the Southern Expeditionary Army soon reached the capital, and the emperor summoned his ministers to discuss what to do at this time. The ministers looked at each other, and it was suggested that the army be recalled, and the emperor said that the mutinous army would not obey orders at this time; It was suggested that troops from other places should be sent to attack the Southern Expeditionary Army, and the Emperor thought that you were forcing them to rebel; Just when no one expressed their opinions in the end, Prime Minister Mu Shuai played, "Your Majesty, there is a candidate for the old minister, who may be able to quell this mutiny." "The emperor is interested," Aiqing said, who is it? "Zhangjiakou General Soldier, Qin Qi."
Qin Qi, the emperor has heard of it. "Qin Qi has always guarded Shanhaiguan, and he can be regarded as a veteran general in the Northern Army, but..." Seeing that he hesitated slightly, Mu Shuai hurriedly knelt on the ground, "This person will definitely be able to quell this mutiny, lead the sergeant to return to the north smoothly, so as not to let him fall into the grass and become a problem for the imperial court, and for many years to guard the border pass, can fight well, loyal to the monarch and patriotism, and Annan sent a messenger to sue for peace after I issued a war letter from the dynasty, this war can definitely be avoided, and now the replacement of the dynasty program of our dynasty is the need for Your Majesty to appoint virtuous ministers and rectify the dynasty, I hope Your Majesty will think twice." "Spread my will and summon Qin Qi to Beijing."
Since Qin Qi was called, he set off on horseback, did not dare to delay for a moment, and entered the capital to face the saint. The emperor asked him: "Qin Aiqing, how do you think the rebellion of the Southern Expeditionary Army should be pacified?" "Please Your Majesty immediately issue an edict to dismiss Marshal Liu Huizu from his post and go home, he may be able to leave the camp of the Southern Expeditionary Army alive." "Do you think Liu Huizu is wrong?" The Emperor asked. "Your Majesty, General Liu Huizu may be able to deal with the regulations and regulations of the military camp, and the military strategy is not inferior to others, his crime is that he is not flexible enough in the event of an incident, resulting in the inability to complete His Majesty's entrustment, and the army is going south, and all kinds of problems must be considered."
The emperor nodded, "Aiqing, look, how is Ren Qiu doing this time?" "Qin Qi's eyes rolled, although Ren Qiu is a deputy marshal, he has rich experience and temporarily stabilized the mutinous sergeant, but he is the deputy marshal who openly contradicted the emperor's cousin, the marshal of the imperial court..." Only then was the emperor satisfied, "I have ordered you to be the generalissimo of the Southern Expedition, do you think the Southern Expedition can continue?" "The minister thinks that the officers and men of the Northern Army are not suitable for fighting in the warm south, and the morale of the army is turbulent at this time, so they should be brought back to the north, broken into pieces, and reorganized." "It's not a bad way, you go today, remember, don't hurt Liu Huizu's life." "Your Majesty, the ministers have the courage to ask for a little reward for the Southern Expeditionary Army." The emperor glared at him, "I don't ask about the crime, I am already an extrajudicial favor, and I still ask for a reward?" No! ”
Qin Qi took a thousand sergeants to gallop on the official road, his heart was anxious, and when he arrived at the camp of the Southern Expeditionary Army, there was already a lot of chickens and dogs jumping here, he ordered someone to call these sergeants to a meeting, so the hillside was densely packed with people, and everyone looked up and waited for the general they admired in their hearts to give themselves justice. Qin Qi read out the holy decree on the spot, and tied up Liu Huizu to enter Beijing to face the saint, announcing that the class master would return to the court, and the sergeants cheered. Qin Qi ordered people to find a doctor to treat the sergeant who was not accustomed to the water and soil, and found the sergeant chief who committed the crime, ten centurions with a cane, twenty centurions with a cane, and thirty with a lieutenant's staff. When Xu Yuan came back after being beaten and grinned, Shanyuan was already waiting for him in the camp.
"Look, I didn't do anything wrong, and it hurt me to death." The old monk of Shanyuan also ignored his melancholy, "Fortunately, it is Qin Qi who came, if you are still some scholar general, you will all die here." Xu Yuan's cup of tea stopped at his lips, and he raised his head, "You're right." "So what shall we do?" "How? Do you think you'll be able to run this time? ”
The class teacher returned to the dynasty, on the meritorious deeds, Qin Qifeng Luoyang Bo, Liu Huizu was demoted to a concubine, and in any autumn, he went to Yaoshan to become a county commander. The rest of the troops, each returning to its original unit. When Xu Yuan returned to Haizhou City, his sister was already able to lie on her stomach. , After teasing my sister for a while, Shanyuan entered the house, "Xu Yuan, I'll take you to Taihang Mountain." "What are you doing there?" Xu Yuan asked casually while teasing his sister. "That's the Buddha's home base, haven't you always been curious about how the Buddha came here? I'll show you there. ”
"Old man, did you marry a daughter-in-law behind your Buddha's back and give birth to a few dolls, so you hid in the mountains and didn't dare to see the Buddha." The old monk held the grass roots in his mouth, "The Buddha's six roots are pure, how can there be descendants?" You kid, don't talk nonsense and ruin my innocence" Xu Yuan looked at his strong arm curiously, "You have to practice for a long time, you take me as an apprentice, is it because you take a fancy to me as a martial arts wizard." The old monk squinted at him, "Can you not be so arrogant, your bones are just an ordinary person, at a glance, you know that you have played a small voice and hollowed out the foundation, and it is useless to practice now, I take a fancy to you, it is really not because of your bones, but because of your miserable background, I want to change your life." ”
The corner of Xu Yuan's eyes twitched, and he said to the old monk suspiciously, "Wasn't I born to my father?" The old monk shook his head, "No, your original fate was to die three days later." "And now?" Xu Yuan hurriedly asked. "Who do you ask? How does the Buddha know, isn't this taking you to see, why do you want to take this little brother? The old monk pointed to Meng Jia and asked Xu Yuan, "He is in the army for his brother, I am afraid that he will be recognized in the army, so I take him everywhere." "The Five Elements Mountain is extremely dangerous, let's let this little brother wait for us at the bottom of the mountain!" When Meng Jia heard what he said, he turned his head to look at Xu Yuan, who nodded, "Okay, but you have to promise not to throw me off the cliff." "Of course, you are my precious apprentice, how could I be willing to throw you down?" The good fate monk said with a smile. Xu Yuan shivered at his appearance.
The Taihang Mountain Range is continuous, Xu Yuan placed Meng Jia in the inn at the foot of the mountain, entered the mountain, the good fate walked in front, Xu Yuan trotted behind to follow, along the way, from there is a road to no road, from occasionally one or two farmlands to no people, the old monk took him to a forest, fiddled with a few stones, turned around and beckoned to Xu Yuan, "Boy!" Don't be stunned, keep up, don't get lost! Xu Yuan walked absentmindedly behind the old monk, and suddenly there was a wrong step, and suddenly there seemed to be an overwhelming force rushing towards him, and at this moment, an old hand grabbed him and pulled him out of the suffocating power. Can you listen to the words of the teacher, if you are really so powerful, the Buddha worships you as a teacher. ”
Xu Yuan didn't dare to speak, and obediently followed the old monk forward, only to see that at the end of the woods, there was a cold and snowy land, and there was a house in the middle of the snow with "Entering the Road" written on it
