Chapter 527: Posthumous Name
Yang Xinnian, who was about to go south to Jiangnan Province to rectify the family business, died in an unknown restaurant in this unknown town, it seemed that everything seemed to be a coincidence, if she didn't come by herself, but sent some of her subordinates to see it, she would naturally not die, and Bai Nian might not die, but she came by herself.
The owner of the restaurant was so frightened that his legs were almost weak, and he sent someone to report the case in the town office, there were no three or five errand boys in this town, only one was a serious arrester, and the others were all apprentices and helpers, and there had been a murder in the town, so he panicked all of a sudden.
But fortunately, they still knew what to do, blocked the scene, and then sent people to ride horses to the county government to report, and organized young men in the town to inspect to see if there were any suspicious people.
Although some of the business is not proficient, it can be seen that these two people are dying together, so he blushes a little, because he and his helper apprentice have said more than once, where in this world can there be such a coincidence of contract ending, most of them are made up, under normal circumstances, only one person can kill the other.
The people of the Yang family found out that something was wrong and wanted to snatch the body out, but so many people were watching in broad daylight, and if they took action, they would inevitably be exposed more, so they could only watch, and they were anxious like ants on a hot pot.
Just when they were thinking of a way, the people from the Tingwei Mansion who followed Bai Nian rushed over, they had the waist card of the Tingwei Mansion on their bodies, and the local people saw that they were from the Tingwei Mansion, and they immediately relaxed.
The sky is falling, and there is the Tingwei Mansion to carry it.
The news was quickly sent back to Chang'an City, and the people of Tingwei's Mansion did not sleep, and they rushed back in two days after traveling hundreds of miles.
Leaving two people to cooperate with the local county government to find a way to transport the body back to Chang'an City.
But when things come to this point, the people of the Yang family can't bear it, once the body is transported back by the people of the Tingwei Mansion, Yang Xinnian's identity will naturally be exposed, and the Yang family will not be held accountable for this matter?
How?
If you don't pursue it, it will say that the people of the Yang family have a problem, and if you do so, of course, the problem will be even greater.
So after a discussion, Yang Xinnian's subordinates took advantage of the fact that there were few people to take care of the corpse, and when no one was paying attention, they poured fire oil on it, and burned the carriage carrying the corpse with a fire, and the two people from the Tingwei Mansion hurriedly rushed up and snatched Bai Nian's body out after discovering it, while Yang Xinnian's body was engulfed in fire.
Changan.
After Gu Le got the news, he frowned and pondered for a while, what should he do if this matter is Lord Han here?
His Majesty obviously didn't intend to pursue anything about the Yang family's destruction of the Bai family, Lord Han said at the time that it was not yet time, and the Yang family's dead soldiers who were disguised as horse thieves were still in the dungeon of the Tingwei Mansion now, so it became difficult to deal with Yang Xinnian and Bai Nian's death together, and it seemed that the best way was to do nothing happened.
He thought about it, but he didn't dare to decide privately, and he couldn't disturb Han Zhaozhi, who was recuperating from his injuries, who knew where he had gone, and now he was in charge of the Tingwei Mansion, and he suddenly lost his backbone, so he had to go to Shen Leng and ask.
General's Palace.
Shen Leng fell silent after listening to Gu Le, he was not familiar with Bai Nian, and Bai Nian was also quite hostile to him, but at this moment, Shen Leng was full of respect for this man.
Dying for revenge is, after all, respectable.
"When he was in the water division, he never fell behind in the battle with Qiu Liren, and the people who wore general armor in the Daning soldiers, charged ahead, and also loved the soldiers, when I went to Qiu Li to see General Zhuang, he also said that Bai Nian led the troops to have some doorways, and he would win in every battle, and he would be able to take on a great task in the future."
Shen Leng slowly exhaled: "I don't know what he has done before, he joined the army as a young man, and I know what happened in the army, he is a qualified Daning general, so I can't act as if nothing happened." ”
Gu Le said: "But he should be considered a deserter." ”
"So I've got to figure it out."
Shen Leng asked Gu Le to go back and wait for news, and he went to Yanta Academy again.
The old dean also had a headache after hearing this, he knew about Bai Nian, Han Zhaozhi had talked to him not long ago, and it was because he knew that he felt a little difficult, Shen Leng was right, a general who had fought dozens of battles for Daning could not die quietly like this.
"If the Tingwei Mansion suppresses this matter, the Yang family will naturally not make a noise."
Shen Leng lowered his head and looked at the hot air coming out of the teacup: "But in this way, it is missing." ”
The old dean nodded: "Yes, missing, no good reputation, no good ending, nothing, but Shen Leng, you know that disappearance is already the best arrangement, even if it is missing, General Zhuang Yong of the Navy Division will not report the deserter, but the disappearance, after all, it is also a bad reputation." ”
"People are dead, and going missing will be said to be absconding for fear of war, and there is no pension."
Shen Leng looked at the old dean: "Can I go and talk to Your Majesty directly." ”
"Don't go."
The old dean shook his head: "Your Majesty doesn't like this...... After all, it still has to fall on the side of the Tingwei Mansion, if the people in the Tingwei Mansion are willing to give a reason to come out, who doesn't believe it? ”
Shen Leng sighed: "Now it's the Tingwei Mansion that doesn't know what to say, and I haven't thought of a suitable reason yet." ”
The old dean looked at Shen Leng: "You go to see Lai Cheng." ”
"Lai Cheng?"
The old dean nodded: "Yes, Du Yu Shi Laicheng, he will have a way." ”
Shen Leng thought about how this matter came to Du Yu Shi Laicheng, but what the old dean said must be reasonable, so he couldn't help but look at the old dean's table, and the old dean immediately stood up and blocked it: "You buy things by yourself halfway, don't worry about me." ”
Shen Leng smiled wryly, and said that he was really too exposed, and with a glance, the old dean guessed what he wanted to do, this New Year's Eve to ask for someone, if you don't bring something, it's a little unreasonable, and the etiquette is not thoughtful.
Shen Leng got up: "If you don't take you, you won't take you, it's very stingy." ”
The old dean's beard was almost cocked: "You don't look at your current reputation, Ye Liuyun Han Zhaozhi, which doesn't say fire prevention, theft prevention, and Shen Cold." ”
Shen Leng smiled and said goodbye and went out, picked out some good tea and snacks on the street outside, and carried things to find the house of Du Yushi Lai Cheng, Lai Cheng is very lazy, this is famous, who in the entire court does not know, except for scolding His Majesty when he is energetic, who is he interested in?
No matter who participates in the performance on the side of the Imperial Historical Observatory, it is all written by the subordinates of the Imperial History, and most of the time Lai Cheng is too lazy to read it, and it is no secret that Lai Cheng runs home and squints after the court meeting every day.
His Majesty doesn't bother to pay attention to him, who cares?
Besides, he is the imperial history of the capital, who still participates in the imperial history platform.
Seeing Shen Leng come to the door, Lai Cheng was obviously surprised, Shen Leng didn't hide it, and directly explained his intentions, Lai Cheng looked at the things that Shen Leng brought and shook his head: "Bai Nian asked for leave to go home to worship his ancestors, this is not a private absconding, but after the family accident, he didn't go back to the water division but sneaked into Chang'an, this is his mistake, and the Tingwei Mansion left him behind...... That's the fault of the Tingwei Mansion. ”
Shen Leng was going to do something bad when he heard it.
"Lord Lai, you can't participate in this matter to Your Majesty, let alone say it in the court, if you participate in Han Zhaozhi's book in the court, how can you do it."
Lai Cheng looked at the things Shen Leng brought again: "The amount is not enough." ”
Shen Leng: "......"
He took the things and put them aside: "The tea in Yutaizhuang is not bad, and the dim sum in Shunhexing is also good, but it only adds up to three or five taels of silver, you take these things, and you want me to help Bai Nian ask for a good reputation after death, it is really not enough." ”
Shen Leng stood there, a little at a loss for a moment.
Lai Cheng nodded, and said to himself: "But his own weight is enough, a general who has fought bravely for Daning in dozens of battles, killed countless enemies, and made outstanding achievements, if he doesn't have a posthumous name, I don't think it's right." ”
He looked at Shen Leng: "I'll take care of this matter." ”
Shen Leng clenched his fists: "Thank you, Lord Lai!" ”
Shen Leng asked, "Then what are you going to do?" Do you mean to go to the Imperial Palace? ”
Lai Cheng said seriously: "Lord Han has not recovered from his serious injury, and he is newly married, of course you can't scold him...... We scolded Your Majesty. ”
Shen Leng took a step back: "I don't want the right of authorship for this performance." ”
The next morning, after His Majesty dealt with some political affairs, he asked the courtiers who had anything else to say, Lai Cheng tidied up his clothes, walked out, first bowed, and then raised his head: "Minister, there is a play." ”
"What's going on?"
"Your Majesty, there is no distinction between public and private, and the lives of the courtiers are disregarded in vain, which makes the ministers feel cold."
The emperor was stunned, and said in his heart, Lai Cheng, what nonsense are you going to talk about.
Everyone looked at Lai Cheng, and even some people vaguely had the intention of watching a good show, who didn't know that Lai Cheng scolded the emperor was the best drama in the court, especially good-looking, if Lai Cheng didn't come up to say a few words in any month, the courtiers would feel stunned......
"Where did the words come from?"
The emperor asked.
Lai Cheng cleared his throat and roared: "There is a water master from the four-grade Yingyang general Bai Nian, some time ago asked for leave to go home to worship the ancestors, but the Bai family suffered a great disaster, although the Xiangning Bai family was because of the collusion with the mountain bandits to divide the spoils unevenly, which led to the tragedy, but Bai Nian did not know, this person left home as a young man, studied in the martial arts for several years, and then assigned to the water division to lead the troops, since the date of going south, dozens of battles of all sizes, every battle must be in the first place, killing no less than hundreds, for Daning to open up the territory and make great contributions, in the place of seeking to stand, He once led the army to rush into a hundred miles to pursue and destroy the defeated soldiers, and also ambushed for two days and two nights to find a fighter plane to kill the enemy by surprise, such a person, after returning home, but found that the door of the house had changed dramatically, and he was unaccompanied for a while, what could he do? ”
Lai Cheng looked at the courtiers around him, and then said loudly: "He can only come and ask His Majesty to be the master, did he do something wrong?" However, His Majesty did not appease the Bai family because of the clear circumstances of the collusion with the mountain bandits, but only asked him to go to the Tingwei Mansion to cooperate in the investigation of the case. ”
As soon as he finished saying this, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were shocked.
"Together?"
"This General Bai Nian is really a strong man."
There was a whisper for a moment.
The emperor sat there, glaring at Lai Cheng.
Lai Cheng was still saying loudly: "The minister thinks that Your Majesty's move has hurt the hearts of thousands of Daning soldiers. ”
The emperor sighed and glanced at Lai Cheng again.
Lai Cheng felt that the heat was almost over, and after coughing a few times, he said: "Please also ask Your Majesty to strictly investigate this case, and return General Bai Nian to a clean slate." ”
The Emperor exhaled slowly: "This matter is indeed my lack of consideration, it is my negligence, I ...... It was decided to posthumously crown Bai Nian as the general of the fourth grade of Weiyang, and the proposed military department would be buried in accordance with the regulations. ”
Lai Cheng: "Minister, Your Majesty! ”
Bow to the ground.
The emperor got up: "If nothing else, today's court meeting will end here." ”
Dai Fangzhou shouted: "Retreat." ”
The courtiers were talking about leaving, still praising Bai Nian's loyalty.
The emperor walked a few steps and turned around to give an order for Lai Cheng to follow, but when he turned around, he saw Lai Cheng following behind, and he snorted: "You are conscious!" ”
Lai Cheng said with a hippie smile: "Didn't the minister keep up, Your Majesty wants to scold for a while, the minister listens, listens, and never refutes." ”
