Chapter 469: A Cup of Wine Relieves Military Power (Part II)
While Qi Zhun was arguing at this table, Lan Ziyi kept one eye on the table at the door. The recognitions on that table are all soldiers of the Eastern Army.
Lan Ziyi noticed that these sergeants all clenched their fists and drank alcohol in a breath from the time Father-in-law Yu said that he would stay in the capital. Now this sergeant can't hold back when he smashes the cup, and he can't bear it. It's just that he dropped the cup, although he could provoke the sergeant next to him to applaud secretly, but no one blatantly jumped out to support him, and everyone was watching.
The person who chose to wait and see was correct, because after the reckless Eastern Army general stood up, the Taicheng guards who were guarding the lobby had already pressed their waist knives to surround them, and Lan Ziyi was surprised to find that this hall had always been full of Taicheng guards, but the angles of these guards were very tricky, if they didn't look carefully or they moved themselves, it would be difficult for the people at the table to detect their existence.
The fish man pressed his thigh with his hand, the tip of his elbow stretched out, and the horizontal knife immediately sat on the stool and listened to the sergeant's words. But when the sergeant finished speaking, Father-in-law Yu did not answer him immediately, Father-in-law Yu just sat there, motionless, staring at the sergeant without blinking, staring straight at the heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys on the other side before giving up.
There were so many people in the hall, but now it was so quiet that there was no sound at all, and Lan Ziyi could now hear the heartbeat in Qi Rongxun's chest next to him. Except for a few people such as Gonggong Long, Zhang Mingyue, Zhang Wang, etc., everyone at the table lowered their heads and did not dare to move, only the sergeant who threw the cup stood on the ground abruptly.
The soldiers who can enter the palace with Qi Zhun are all middle-level officers of the Eastern Army, and these people are all killed by Qi Zhun in the past few years with Qi Zhun in the southeast coast, with a knife and a gun, and a sea of corpses and blood. But now the sergeant stood in the hall and felt that the days were like years, and the eyes of the fish father-in-law reminded him of the wolf eyes in the forest that he had seen when he was alone, which was a lonely lamp that killed him in the cold night; The silence in the hall was like a typhoon on the sea, and it was almost enough to blow him away from the clouds.
The sergeant swallowed hard, he wanted to sit down quietly, but it was a luxury, he wanted to avoid the gaze of the fish father-in-law, but he didn't have the courage at all.
Grandpa Yu just stared at the sergeant, motionless and silent, no one knew what he was thinking. It wasn't until a long time later, when Lan Ziyi, who had been in a long time, was about to be driven crazy by the depressing atmosphere, that Gonggong Yu raised his eyebrows, and said loudly:
"Say, go on. I've waited so long, why don't you shut up? “
The sergeant was now sweating and panting, and such an iron-clad man was about to collapse after half a day's effort. The sergeant did not answer, and no one knew whether he did not know how to answer or did not have the strength to answer, or whether he did not dare to answer again, but he did not speak alone.
Father-in-law Yu looked at the appearance of the sergeant, snorted coldly, and then Father-in-law Yu suddenly reached out and grabbed the bowl on the table, and smashed it in front of the sergeant, Father-in-law Yu jumped up and pointed at the sergeant across the table and scolded:
"What do you mean by rabbit dead dog cooking? What is the Bird Bow Hide? Well? The old man doesn't understand your words in Zou Zou because he doesn't read much, can you explain it to me?! “
The sergeant was stunned by the fish father-in-law, he didn't know how to hide when the bowl flew over, and the translucent embroidered embryo smashed his head mixed with blood flowers and shattered.
Father-in-law Yu didn't wait for anyone to speak, and angrily asked and replied to himself:
"Did you make meritorious service and were not rewarded or did you not enter the knighthood? Did the old man set up 500 axes to cheat you out of your life, or did he poison the wine and calculate you?
One by one, you have decided to add officials to the knighthood, take the silver to receive the reward, and your general was named by the emperor and crowned the Taishi, which is still called rabbit dead dog cooking? Did the old man cook you? How does the old man cook?
Taishi just said clearly, everyone is a soldier of the imperial court, and the emperor will fight you as he wants. Now it's just that you are transferred to garrison the capital, but you say that I am a bird with a bow to hide, so what if I transfer you to Mobei to suppress Nuonuo? Did you mutiny and rebel halfway through? “
Qi Zhun couldn't sit still anymore when he heard Father-in-law Yu say the word "rebellion", he got up from his seat, pushed away the front hem of his clothes, knelt on the ground and said:
"Father-in-law is angry, this brother has just followed me for too long, and he doesn't want to get drunk for a while, so don't go to your heart!"
Saying that, Qi Zhun turned around and gestured to the sergeant:
"What are you doing? On your knees! “
When the sergeant heard this, he reacted, and fell to his knees as soon as his legs went limp.
Qi Zhun knelt down, but Father-in-law Yu's anger had just been ignited, and he opened his voice and shouted at the sergeant:
"Drunk? What do you think of this place? You're going to get drunk? This is the palace, today I am holding a banquet on behalf of the emperor, you smash the cup in front of the emperor, do you still have the emperor in your eyes? I just want to ask you, who are you sending this drunken mania? “
Father-in-law Yu pointed at the sergeant, but the scolding was obviously Qi Zhun, Qi Zhun knelt on the ground and wanted to find an opportunity to interject, but Father-in-law Yu did not give him this opportunity, and Father-in-law Yu continued to scold:
"Only those who can be mobilized are called soldiers, and those who can't be mobilized are called bandits! The emperor let you enter Beijing, and you don't come, what's it called? This is called pulling the mountain to hold a group, this is called forming a party for personal gain, and this is called conspiracy and rebellion! “
After Father-in-law Yu shouted these words, the Dongjun at the table at the door could no longer sit still, and the people at the table slipped off the stool in unison, knelt on the ground and buckled their heads, and shouted in unison:
"The last general will not dare!"
Hearing this, Father-in-law Yu asked:
"What don't you dare? You don't even dare to obey the imperial court's order, what else don't you dare to do? “
Qi Zhun and the generals of the Eastern Army knelt on the ground and couldn't raise their heads when they were scolded by Father-in-law Yu, while Qi Rongxun was so frightened by the angry Father-in-law that he sat at the table and didn't know what to do.
Lan Ziyi glanced at Qi Rongxun, who was stunned, and sighed secretly, this Qi Rongxun is really wooden. Lan Ziyi looked at the scene in front of him, and was very sad in his heart, the imperial court actually took the opportunity to cut down the feudal domain when the Eastern Army lost most of it, which was falling into a well. If Lan Qianzhen had lost most of his life like Qi Zhun when he came back from Mobei at the beginning of the year, would the Beizhen Army be cut down first?
Looking at Qi Rongxun who was at a loss, Qi Zhun who was kneeling on the ground, Lan Ziyi felt a kind of desolation of the rabbit and the fox, he was no longer angry about the fact that the Qi family father and son seized his military power this morning, and now it seems that it was just a little bait that the Yu father-in-law threw on Qi Zhun, just to appease people's hearts.
Qi Zhun is now known as the third duke, but he is just a hunting dog in front of the real rulers of the inner court and the first assistant of the current dynasty, and it is difficult to beg for the mercy of the master when he kneels. Lan Ziyi, who couldn't bear it, secretly touched Qi Rongxun next to him with his elbow, and whispered:
"Kneel down with the master."
Qi Rongxun was awakened by Lan Ziyi's words, and hurriedly sat down and knelt next to his father. Qi Rongxun may be slow to react, or he may have little heart, but he is not stupid, and after being reminded by Lan Ziyi, he immediately opened his mouth to intercede for the sergeant. Qi Rongxun said:
"Father-in-law is angry! Most of the soldiers of the Eastern Army recruited coastal villagers, their homes were by the sea, not in the capital, and their father-in-law left them behind for a while. My father-in-law is angry! ”
When the Tang Dongjun heard what Qi Rongxun said, he hurriedly echoed him, and said:
"We are just greedy for a small family, and we have absolutely no intention of rebelling!"
Maybe it's because Father-in-law Yu is tired after scolding for a long time, and now he is taking a break, or maybe Father-in-law Yu is angry when he gets angry, anyway, he is now led by Qi Rongxun to lead his soldiers to intercede. Seeing this, Qi Zhun knew that there was salvation, and hurriedly said:
"Father-in-law, don't you want to leave the soldiers to garrison the capital? Stay, and the end will not dare to complain again. If they are judged to be a rebellion, who else will supplement the Beijing army? ”
Father-in-law Yu had already sat back on his seat at this time, and when he heard this, he waved his hand and said:
"Taishi, get up, you and the Eastern Army have no two hearts, and the emperor and the court know it."
Qi Zhun finally breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, but when he was about to get up, Father-in-law Yu's words changed and made his heart cold again. I saw Father-in-law Yu pointing to the military school that had smashed the cup just now and said:
"I understand the loyalty of the rest of you, but that Qiu Ba, he committed the following crimes, if I don't deal with this kind of thing, who will still take the court in the eyes in the future?
Come! Drag this guy out of the noon gate and behead him! “
Hearing the order, several Taicheng guards immediately stepped forward to hold down the sergeant, took off the crown belt, and took off the brocade robe and was about to drag it out.
Seeing this, Qi Zhun knelt back again, he turned around and stopped the Taicheng guards, and then asked Gonggong Yu:
"Father-in-law, these soldiers are all meritorious heroes of this crackdown on bandits, and killing them is afraid to chill the hearts of all the heroes!"
Father-in-law Yu snorted coldly and said:
"If you can be arrogant and domineering if you make meritorious contributions, then my Dazheng will be in chaos, this person is not enough to correct the country's prestige, and the Taishi does not need to say much."
In addition, the Tao brothers and the Qiu family father and son are sitting at the table where the Beijing army generals and colonels are not in the same military town as the Eastern Army, but they are both soldiers. So in the consideration of cold lips and teeth, these Beijing camp generals and Tao Zhuhu all got up and knelt down to plead:
"My father-in-law is angry, and I am willing to ask my father-in-law to keep people under the knife."
Seeing this, Lan Ziyi also got up and said:
"Father-in-law! Leaving the Eastern Army to defend the city but killing its generals, Enxin first set up an enemy, how can the imperial court believe these Eastern Army soldiers in the future? ”
So many people pleaded, but they didn't impress Father-in-law Yu, he didn't frown, just squinted and glanced at the crowd. Then Father-in-law Yu asked Zhang Mingyue and Longgong to be fair:
"Lord Shoufu, Grandpa Long, what do you two think?"
