Text Chapter 474 The two fathers-in-law are difficult
Since Liu Renyu heard that Chen Dajin and Yan Siyin, the two great eunuchs, were supervising the army in Taiyuan City, he knew that these two masters must have nothing to do, and their bodies are absolutely healthy, but they are unwilling to surrender their identities and follow Xu Dingchen out to greet him and others.
Xu Dingchen and the black gauze hats of the officials in Shanxi are closely related to the killing of the thieves, so whether they are out of public or selfishness, they have to come out to greet Liu Renyu, at least they still have to do it.
Chen Dajin and Yan Siyin's two fathers-in-law were the supervisors sent by the emperor, they were directly responsible to the emperor, and they would not be punished for the war in Shanxi, so they naturally had no need to come to greet Liu Renyu.
According to his previous experience, Liu Renyu identified that in addition to a very small number of top-quality eunuchs, ordinary eunuchs are things that are not successful and have more than enough failures, and basically the current eunuchs are paper tigers in front of sugar-coated cannonballs, he doesn't want these dead eunuchs to restrain himself, so he asked Liu Renjie to prepare gifts, a total of six, two heavy gifts, four thin gifts, two heavy gifts for Chen Dajin and Yan Siyin, and four thin gifts for the attendants brought by these two fathers-in-law.
Liu Renyu had long expected that his enemies were not only thieves, but also all kinds of strange things in the officialdom, so he had to bring sugar-coated cannonballs in order to defeat all kinds of pig teammates in the officialdom at any time, so that if they couldn't help, at least don't add to the chaos.
Liu Renjie got Liu Renyu's order and immediately went to arrange these things.
Liu Renyu considered that Liu Renjie didn't know the location of the Shanxi Governor's Yamen, so he deliberately slowed down his pace, and in order to make his slowing down behavior more natural, he smiled at Xu Dingchen and said: "Xu Junmen, dare to ask where you are for the banquet?" ”
"Governor's Yamen Rijian Hall." Xu Dingchen replied.
"Dare to ask Xu Junmen, where are the two fathers-in-law, Chen Gonggong and Yan Gonggong, resting?" Liu Renyu asked again.
"The two fathers-in-law are temporarily living in the backyard of the governor's yamen, and Liu Dashuai can go to see the two fathers-in-law later." Xu Dingchen said this, but he didn't say that he wanted to go with Liu Renyu to see the two fathers-in-law, which made Liu Renyu a little strange.
"Junmen, aren't you going to see the two fathers-in-law with the last general?" Liu Renyu said curiously.
"This hospital and the two fathers-in-law get along day and night, I have already seen enough, Liu Dashuai should go and see them by himself, this hospital has prepared wine and dinner in the day meeting hall, and when Liu Dashuai finishes meeting the two fathers-in-law, I will invite the two fathers-in-law to eat together." When Xu Dingchen said this, he seemed to be trying his best to hide the unsafe color in his heart.
When Liu Renyu saw Xu Dingchen's complexion, he naturally knew that the two fathers-in-law must have had a lot of unpleasantness with Xu Dingchen, so he didn't ask any more, he didn't talk to Xu Dingchen anymore, and followed the other party straight to the governor's yamen.
When the two of them went together, Liu Renjie rode his horse and nodded, nodding at a few large cloth bags on his saddle, Liu Renyu saw it and nodded understandingly.
In this way, the generals of the Jingbian Fort Army were welcomed by the people of Taiyuan, and then walked to the gate of the governor's yamen, and when they arrived here, everyone turned over and dismounted, handed over the horses to the subordinates at the door and tied them, and then they went all the way along the Yongdao.
When everyone walked to the Rijian Hall, Xu Dingchen and a number of civil and military officials in Shanxi stopped their steps and stopped going inside, but only supported a subordinate to lead the way for Liu Renyu and others, and took them to the backyard to meet the two fathers-in-law.
Liu Renyu saw that all the Shanxi officials seemed to be afraid of the two fathers-in-law like tigers, and he couldn't help but feel more and more strange in his heart, and he didn't know what kind of quality these two fathers-in-law were, so many officials could not want to meet them.
With such a thought in his heart, Liu Renyu took the time to ask Liu Renjie: "Renjie, can the gift you prepared be in place?" ”
"Back to the big handsome, several fathers-in-law are big people from Beijing, and now they are in Taiyuan, and it is inconvenient to send out our carriage and other big things, so the last general prepared a silver ticket of eight thousand taels of silver for the two fathers-in-law in charge, and some treasures to play with, and a few other fathers-in-law, the last general prepared a silver ticket of five thousand taels of silver, and some treasures to play." Liu Renjie replied.
"Well, this gift is neither light nor heavy, the two fathers-in-law should still like it." Liu Renyu listened to Liu Renjie's answer, first smiled slightly, and then said solemnly to several of his subordinates: "It seems that these two fathers-in-law seem to be very difficult to deal with, wait for a while to see the two fathers-in-law, give me more care, be careful, and be more thoughtful, lest they give us small shoes to wear, can you hear clearly?" ”
"Yes, Dashuai, I'll write it down." Li Jiye and the others replied in a voice.
"Liu Dashuai, a few fathers-in-law are in the courtyard on the left, and the little ones are still busy, so let's go." When the man who led the way came to the courtyard where some fathers-in-law lived, he refused to move his steps again, but raised his feet and walked back.
"You wait a while, you've worked hard all the way, come, little meaning, take it!" As soon as Liu Renyu finished speaking, he took out a silver ingot and stuffed it into the man's hand.
The man only felt a sinking in his hand, so he looked closely, and he found that he actually had a silver ingot weighing ten taels in his hand, and he couldn't believe his eyes, wouldn't this lead the way? As for it?
"Yo, the little one thanked the military master for his generous reward." When the man received such a generous reward, he naturally knelt on the ground and thanked him.
"You don't have to thank me, let me ask you, are these fathers-in-law difficult to serve?" Liu Renyu asked.
"Yo, who's to say it isn't." When the subordinate heard this question, he first stood up straight, and then continued with a bitter face: "It's all because we are not effective in suppressing thieves in Shanxi, and the thieves invaded the Gyeonggi Heavy Land, which shocked the holy driver, and the emperor was furious, so he sent these fathers-in-law to us to supervise the war."
The fathers-in-law in the capital arrived, and we were naturally waiting carefully, but who knew that these fathers-in-law were like eating gunpowder, looking at us horizontally, looking at us vertically, how to look at how it was not pleasing to the eye, picking bones in eggs all day long, sneering at our military gate at every turn, and the old men in various yamen, insulting the generals, beating and scolding us as subordinates.
Sometimes, we won the battle, and the faces of these fathers-in-law are a little better-looking, but as long as we lose the battle, these fathers-in-law are the appearance of the king of Yama in the world, you say that who of us can stand it, it happens that Huaiqing has fallen into the hands of the enemy in the past two days, who knows what moths these fathers-in-law will have, hey, military master, you have to deal with them carefully. ”
The next person looked at Yin Liang's face, and explained the causes and consequences of these fathers-in-law's difficult service in one breath, and Liu Renyu and the others suddenly realized when they heard it.
It turned out that in order to urge the officials and the army to go all out to suppress the thieves, these fathers-in-law came as black-faced Guan Gong, and they were all loyal and brave to share the emperor's worries.
Thinking about the key to this, Liu Renyu sorted out the armor and equipment, and led his subordinates to stride towards the courtyard on the left.
When the generals of the Jingbian Fort Army entered the courtyard, they saw four white-faced and beardless men standing outside the door, wearing the blue clothes of the ministers, Liu Renyu looked at their appearance, and guessed that most of them were the eunuchs under the two eunuchs, Chen Dajin and Yan Siyin.
But when Liu Renyu was looking at these eunuchs, those eunuchs also happened to see Liu Renyu and the others.
"Hey, what are you doing, what are you doing here?" One of the little eunuchs asked aloud in a sharp voice.
"A few fathers-in-law, we are the border army Jingbianbao Army of Yansui Military Town, Shaanxi, and after receiving the order from the Ministry of War, they came to Shanxi to aid the suppression. Now that our army has driven to the city of Taiyuan, we have come to meet Chen Gonggong and Yan Gonggong, and I would like to ask a few fathers-in-law to introduce them on their behalf. Liu Renyu said cautiously and politely to the four eunuchs outside the door.
"Yo, it turns out that you are Mr. Liu, oops, you don't have to be so polite, you don't have to be so outside, we are all the godsons of our ancestors, and our ancestors have told a few of us, saying that you are the pistachio of Long Live Lord, as long as you see Long Live Lord, you will be able to make Long Live Lord happy.
Besides, you and Liu Gonggong have a good relationship, we have all heard about it, it is not easy for you to meet Chen Gonggong and Yan Gonggong, let's inform you. One of the sharp-faced eunuchs heard that Liu Renyu's name turned out to be an old acquaintance, so he took the matter down.
This Liu Renyu listened to the cloud and mountain fog cover for a while, so he cautiously interjected and said: "Dare to ask a few fathers-in-law, the ancestors you are talking about, is it Wang Chengen's father-in-law, and that Liu father-in-law, is it Liu Chaoqing Liu father-in-law?" ”
"Isn't that right, now in our palace, the number of princes and fathers is the most favored by the long-lived lord, we are all the godsons of the princes, and the godson of the princes, you are so close to our ancestors and godfather Grandpa Liu, aren't you your own people, everything is easy to do." The pointy-faced eunuch replied directly.
"Oh, so that's the case, a few fathers-in-law, since they are their own people, then the last general's personality must be clear to a few fathers-in-law, the last general met with a few fathers-in-law for the first time, and specially prepared some Jingbian Fort...."
Liu Renyu was about to get the routine up, but unexpectedly, one of the round-faced fathers-in-law covered his mouth with his hands, scratched his head, and said with a smile: "Liu Zongzhen is afraid that he doesn't want to talk about your local specialties there, I know, I know, we all know, you, but you are generous, everyone in the palace knows." ”
This eunuch's behavior really made Liu Renyu feel a chill, he forcibly held back his disgusting emotions, and said with a smile: "Since several fathers-in-law understand, the last general will not say much, come, give a few fathers-in-law the local products of our Jingbian Fort." ”
"Yes, Dashuai," Liu Renjie got the order, so he stepped forward, took out four exquisite wooden boxes, and sent them to the four eunuchs.
These eunuchs didn't think about it, so they took it in their hands and said in a loud voice: "Thank you Mr. Liu for the reward." ”
"A few fathers-in-law do not dislike the local products of our Jingbian Fort, and they will be very honored in the end." Liu Renyu smiled.
"That's it, Mr. Liu, wait a while, I'll go in and report it." The sharp-faced eunuch handed over his box to the other eunuchs to hold, and he pushed open the door by himself, and went inside to pass it on, and then the round-faced eunuch and another eunuch with a national character face put away the four boxes, and walked to the side room in the courtyard, presumably to put things away, and check what Liu Renyu gave them.
Only one long-faced eunuch remained in place, guarding the door.
