Chapter 143: Envy and Grace 3
Lu Xiangsheng and his deputy Zhu Tinghuan stood in front of the gate of his camp, and when they saw Sun Chengzong coming, they hurriedly stepped forward and bent down to salute.
"Humble Lu Xiangsheng, see Emperor Wei Gonggong".
"Jiandou is welcome, you and I will enter the camp first."
Sun Chengzong and Wei Zhongxian were on their horses, wearing a red official uniform Sun Chengzong, wearing a cloak fluttering in the wind, although his face was old, he was also radiant, and looked at Lu Xiangsheng with a smile.
As for Wei Zhongxian, he sat on the horse and did not speak, after all, he came to instruct and read out his desire this time, and if he took the lead, it would cause Sun Chengzong's dissatisfaction, especially now Sun Chengzong's Zhengshou Emperor Long En.
"Yes, sir."
After Lu Xiangsheng opened his mouth, he and Sun Tinghuan led Sun Chengzong and Wei Zhongxian's horses to the camp respectively.
Lu Xiangsheng's move was not to pat Sun Chengzong and Wei Zhongxian's sycophants, but purely for etiquette.
The gift of holding the horse began during the two-week period and was originally used for the bride price. That is, an act of the man when the man and the woman get married, and over time it has formed the current custom. But in the past two weeks so far, such a custom does have a hint of sycophancy.
After all, Sun Chengzong came this time to do something big, and it was impossible for him to come alone, so he directly brought a full 2,000 Liaodong troops. As for why Sun Chengdu's men and horses are transferred every time they are Liaodong Army. There's no way, who made the Liaodong Army the most capable army of the daimyo now, not to mention that he has also served in Liaodong, and he has some friendship.
"I don't know what is the important matter for the emperor and Gonggong Wei to come this time."
In Lu Xiangsheng's big tent, Sun Chengzong and Wei Zhongxian sat on the main seat, while Lu Xiangsheng was tailed below.
"Jiandou, one is to say hello to you, and the other is to give you two thousand Shanxi soldiers in your camp."
The character of all soldiers is a little bold, not like the literati.
After listening to Sun Chengzong's words, Lu Xiangsheng hadn't reacted yet, and Wei Zhongxian, who was sitting on the side, tidied up his clothes and stood up.
"Lu Xiangsheng, Zhu Tinghuan took the order".
"Minister Lu Xiangsheng, Zhu Tinghuan pleads".
"Flattering the emperor, the edict said
The Daimyo Prefecture ordered Lu Xiangsheng to live and work in peace and contentment during this period, and the government affairs were clear and successful. Jin Jiannu's invasion of the capital was even more of a thousand miles away, and his loyal and patriotic heart can be seen by the sun and the moon. Tekafeng Lu Xiang was promoted to the chief soldier of the Daimyo Mansion, and Zhu Tinghuan was appointed deputy chief soldier.
Chin this".
"Subordinate to the order".
Lu Xiangsheng and Zhu Tinghuan opened their heads, and Lu Xiangsheng raised his hands high above his head. Wei Zhongxian also took two steps forward, re-rolled up the holy decree in his hand, and gently placed it on Lu Xiangsheng's hand Zheng
"Mr. Lu, congratulations."
Wei Zhongxian's voice is not as sharp as it is on TV, but it is a kind of neutral performance. If you only listen to the voice, no one will suspect that Wei Zhongxian is a eunuch at all.
"Thank you, thank you for your father-in-law, and father-in-law Wei has worked hard. The meaning is not respectful, leave it to Grandpa Wei to buy some tea to drink in the future."
Lu Xiangsheng took out some broken silver from his sleeve, and with kind words, handed the broken silver in his hand to Wei Zhongxian.
Wei Zhongxian looked at the silver in Lu Xiangsheng's hand, and made a rough estimate, and it was only three or four taels. These silvers are just a drizzle in Wei Zhongxian's eyes, and on this occasion, Wei Zhongxian will definitely not even look at it. But this time, he took the silver with a smile, not caring at all that Sun Chengzong was still sitting aside.
Of course, Sun Chengzong is not blind, even if he can't see it, but he can still hear the voice, but he really doesn't care about Wei Zhongxian's acceptance of bribes, after all, this is the usual practice.
Of course, the main thing is that such silver cannot be regarded as a bribe, but as a pleasing silver. This kind of thing is not Lu Xiangsheng, even if Sun Chengzong himself cuts the emperor's holy decree, he will have to take out some silver and hand it to the person who came to deliver the decree.
"Mr. Lu, Your Majesty has known you since yesterday, and has repeatedly said that you are a pillar of the country, which shows that Your Majesty attaches great importance to you, and I hope you will not let Your Majesty down."
As a result, Wei Zhongxian, who was in silver, looked at Lu Xiangsheng with a smile.
"The minister will be loyal to the Ming Dynasty, loyal to the emperor, and die for His Majesty."
Lu Xiangsheng is also a person who knows the times, and he turned around as he walked and saluted in the direction of Beijing City.
There was a well-defended place in Lu Xiangsheng's camp, where neither grain and grass were hoarded, nor were important governors here. There was only a group of ordinary daimyo soldiers with no fighting spirit and a decadent face.
"Emperor, Gonggong Wei is the camp of the flood of soldiers here, and I have already asked people to gather them all."
Lu Xiangsheng, as the host of the cluster, naturally led the way in front. I just came to a place that was fenced off and surrounded by a large number of soldiers.
"Wang Qianhu Li Qianhu, you send someone to take over the defense of this place and prohibit anyone from entering"
Sun Chengzong turned his head and ordered the two Qianhu who followed him to dress up humanely.
"Yes".
After walking here, I found that a group of officers and soldiers wearing Ming costumes were being forcibly lined up by the Liaodong Army.
Although they lined up in a neat line, the tattered mandarin duck clothes and decadent and messy hair on their bodies looked like beggars on the street at first glance.
When they saw Sun Chengzong and the others coming in, they raised their heads one by one and stared blankly ahead. However, when their eyes touched a familiar figure, they couldn't help but feel a little excited.
That was their general soldier, Zhang Honggong, who brought them to the capital at the beginning.
Although Zhang Honggong was not wearing a military uniform at this time, his clean clothes showed that this person was not punished, which also gave the group of soldiers in front of him a deep thought.
"Looks like you still remember me."
Zhang Honggong's words were not answered, and the audience was quiet, which made people a little depressed.
"Your Majesty knows that what you are doing is purely out of desperation. Therefore, I hereby pardon your sins so that you can accompany you to make meritorious contributions, and I hope that you will take advantage of this opportunity."
As soon as Zhang Honggong finished, more than 2,000 people were taken aback, and they all turned their heads to talk to the familiar people around them, maybe the sound of everyone talking was compared, but when more than 2,000 voices came, the voice was also very loud.
The Liaodong Army, which was responsible for maintaining order, was unpopular at this time, allowing these soldiers to talk to each other. It's just that there is a hint of vigilance in his eyes, and his left hand is holding the hilt of the knife rigidly, ready to draw the knife at any time.
After discussing for a while, Zhong Rao's voice gradually calmed down, and it was Wei Zhongxian's turn to appear.
Although everyone present didn't know what kind of official Wei Zhongxin was, seeing him wearing eunuch clothes, they knew that this person was definitely someone from the emperor's side, and they quietly stared at Wei Zhongxian one by one, wanting to hear what Wei Zhongxian could do.
"Spread the word to His Majesty: .........".
With Wei Zhongxian's words, more than 2,000 people present knelt on the ground, of course, if it was placed before, everyone would not care again, after all, it was a dead end, where did they care about the emperor's words, but now that they have a way to live, they will naturally learn to compromise, and dignity is worth a few dollars.
