Chapter 677: Raising a Pig
Chang'an City
Tai Chi Hall East Warm Pavilion
Emperor Yang Chengqian of the Great Sui Emperor Xinghuang looked at the performance in front of him and his face was cold, the things in the capital were enough for him to be annoyed, and Yongzhou, thousands of miles away, was also unsteady. This piece of music was sent by Fang Xie to be sent by thousands of miles in an expedited manner, and the eunuch Dou Shuangfang of Bingbi was startled after reading it, and he ran all the way to Dongnuan Pavilion without daring to delay.
It was snowing, and a layer fell on Dou Shuangfang's body, and as soon as he entered the house, it turned into water, and the heat in the room was like a fierce beast, instantly killing the residual snow on his clothes.
After handing it over, Dou Shuangfang stood aside with his body bowed, peeking at the young emperor from time to time. From the little emperor's slightly trembling shoulders, he could see how much anger was suppressed in that thin body, so Dou Shuangfang tried hard to think about what words to use to persuade him.
This solution is indeed a bit excessive.
It's just a matter of supporting the army and respecting itself, and you dare to ask for merit!
I don't know how old it was, the little emperor let out a long sigh of relief, then picked up the fold and read it again, reading word by word, carefully and seriously.
"That's it......"
The little emperor handed the fold to Dou Shuangfang: "Send someone to show the general and ask what the general means." If the general has no objections, I will give Fang Xie some rewards when I go back. After all, Fang Xie led his troops to quell the rebellion in Southern Xinjiang, beat the Southern Barbarians back, and killed Luo Yao, which is also a big enough credit. ”
"Your Majesty......"
Dou Shuangfang hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help but persuade: "This matter ...... Do you want to slow down and then tell the general? ”
"Huh?"
The little emperor was slightly stunned, and after glancing at Dou Shuangfang, he didn't understand what Dou Shuangfang meant: "Slow down?" Why? ”
"Your Majesty...... This solution seems to work! ”
Dou Shuangfang lowered his voice and said: "Slave maid remembers, this General Fang is the crown prince and young master that the first emperor has found for His Majesty, if it weren't for Luo Yao's antiquity, he was sent to Yongzhou by the first emperor, he should have been an important minister in the court at this time." Since the first emperor chose him, there must be a reason...... The slave and maid looked at it, and this solution was also a person who could use it. If he had the same mind as Luo Yao, he wouldn't have to send someone to send him to perform the performance. ”
The little emperor groaned a little and said, "I remember that my father mentioned this person in front of me several times. Although I have only met him once or twice, this man acts brightly and magnificently, and although he comes from a humble background, he does not lose his demeanor and does not stick to small things...... Before he left Beijing, his father intended to make him the young master of the crown prince, which shows that his father also trusts this person. Later, Fang Xie stayed in Luo Yao's army, although he did not have the right to supervise the army, but he also did the duty of supervising the army, and then he led the troops to the northwest, not from the thief but led the army to fight against the Mengyuan Tartars, from which it can be seen that he is still loyal to the imperial court in his heart......"
Dou Shuangfang hurriedly said: "The slave maid thinks that this is also the meaning, and now there are not many courtiers in the court who can be loyal to His Majesty......"
The little emperor's face changed, and then he understood what Dou Shuangfang meant: "You mean, let me reuse this person?" ”
Dou Shuangfang said: "Now the courtiers in the court, few people dare to straighten their backs and do things for Your Majesty, because they are all afraid of death...... These people are all from wealthy families, and they carry not only their personal heads on their shoulders, but also hundreds or thousands of heads of the glory and wealth of a large family. Therefore, they are timid one by one, and none of them dare to die for His Majesty. ”
The little emperor said slightly angrily: "It is better to count on them, than to count on the dog I raised!" ”
Dou Shuangfang said: "Your Majesty is angry...... The slave and maid feel that there is no one in the court who can do things now, and the military is ...... Although Xu Xiaogong and Liu Enjing have soldiers in their hands, they can chase down Luo Yaoyu and refuse to return to the capital under the pretext of being able to pursue them, so it is expected that they also have some dirty thoughts in their hearts. Locally...... Some powerful people only seek self-preservation, and those with greater strength have ill-intentioned intentions. Civil officials can't point to it, and military generals can't point to it. And Fang Xie is different, he was born from a poor family and started from scratch, so he didn't have so many worries, but had a greater pursuit...... The courtiers do not lack glory and wealth, but the solution is lacking......"
He glanced at the little emperor's face, and saw that the little emperor seemed to be fascinated by what he heard, so he continued: "Now Your Majesty is short of such a general, who has soldiers and generals, and can still fight. Moreover, since this solution can snipe Luo Yao, it means that even if this person is not a good cultivator, he must have some highly skilled Jianghu guests under him. Isn't this exactly what His Majesty needs right now? ”
"Hmm!"
The little emperor suddenly remembered something: "I remember that this person once had a great friendship with the Taoist of Qingle Mountain, that Taoist Venerable...... Xiang Qingniu has a lot of dealings with Fang Jie. I also heard that Fang Xie was a disciple of the Seven Emperor Uncles...... and Luo Weiran, the former commander of the Ouchi Guards, also have a close relationship, and there must be no shortage of masters around this person. Since Luo Yao can ...... The injury shows that Luo Yao's cultivation is extremely strong. And Fang Xie can kill Luo Yao......"
"Your Majesty"
Dou Shuangfang smiled and said: "The slave feels that this solution is not only rewarded, but also rewarded. ”
The little emperor pondered for a while and asked, "I remember, Fang Xie is now a first-class county?" Four Pinro generals? ”
"County Marquis"
Dou Shuangfang corrected the road.
"Hmm"
The little emperor thought for a while and said, "Let's draw up a decree...... Don't invent a decree, send a competent person to send a secret decree to Yongzhou. The Jin side was interpreted as a third-class general, a second-class county duke, a mansion, and a double fortune. The Black Flag Army issued military salaries according to the war system, and the imperial court was short of money and food, so Fang Xie raised it locally, and I just went back to replenish him. ”
"Whoa"
Dou Shuangfang responded, thought for a while and asked: "The slave feels that the secret will will be issued, and the clear will will also be issued...... This matter has to go through the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Households, and the Ministry of Officials, and it cannot be concealed. ”
"That's it"
The little emperor said: "Since it is not in the dark, then simply put it on the bright side." You go back and invite the general to come to the East Warm Pavilion, I will say it myself. I said, on the contrary, he won't suspect anything, Fang Xie is a real military feat, he can't do it, right? ”
"The slave maid felt that he should still let Fang Xie avoid it temporarily, it was better to fulfill his wish, His Majesty ordered him to lead troops to conquer the Southern Barbarian people, subdue Nanyan, and after his soldiers were strong and strong, he would be transferred back to the capital...... Your Majesty doesn't have to worry about his self-respect for his troops, if Fang Xie is really the next Luo Yao, let the general lead the troops to fight. If Fang Xie is loyal and patriotic, then let him come back and fight ......"
The little emperor couldn't help laughing: "One more will, the local officials of the four southwestern provinces must do their best to assist Fang Xie in the war, and they are not allowed to slack off, Dou Shuangfang...... You're a little clever, so I'll raise a tiger, and then the two tigers will fight......"
……
……
There is suddenly a big general in the capital, and no one knows what his surname is, but everyone in Baili Chang'an City knows that this person's power can overshadow the sky. It is said that the little emperor Yang Chengqian is a puppet, and all court affairs dare not be decided without authorization, and they must consult the general. And a while ago, the ironclad army under the command of this general raided more than 20 mansions in the capital in one go, and beheaded more than 2,000 people at the entrance of the vegetable market, accused of rebellion, but such a big movement, at this moment of internal and external troubles in the Great Sui, seems to be a little unusual.
According to common sense, even if these courtiers really colluded with the traitors, now that Luo Yao has been defeated, and the Yongjun army has retreated thousands of miles in a row, and has retreated to Jiangbei Province, the emperor does not need to kill so many people in order to appease people's hearts, on the contrary, if there are too many people, it will cause the rebellion of those families.
But the person killed it like this, and it came abruptly.
In the past, it was the palace forbidden army that could walk sideways in Chang'an City, and those high-spirited guys were all well-off. But since the inexplicable appearance of the Ironclad Army, it is no longer the turn of the forbidden army in Chang'an City. Those ironclad soldiers, all of them look extremely majestic, although the armor on their bodies looks rough, but the ironclad is a finger thick, not to mention ordinary feather arrows, armor-piercing cones can't pierce through. The ordinary steel knife slashed up, leaving only a mark.
This armor is at least more than 100 pounds, and ordinary men can't even walk steadily when they wear it.
The most chilling thing is that these ironclad soldiers seem to have a strong aura on them, and they are far away, and the compelling power makes people want to retreat. An old man who has seen the world said that it was a murderous aura, so thick that it could not be dissolved, and only those who came from the sea of blood in the mountain of corpses would have such a strong murderous aura on their bodies.
The soldiers under his command are still like this, so you can imagine what the general is like.
This general is very mysterious, basically rarely moves, and everything in the army is also handed over to a young man named Fighting Tiger under his command. The tiger general looked to be fourteen or fifteen years old, and he didn't ride a horse, but always rode an old ox.
Don't say that ordinary people, even if they are dignitaries in the army, they have to bow down and salute when they see this tiger general.
It is said that a few days ago, the wife of the Sun family in Chang'an City traveled, and met a child riding a scalper, and the lady's handmaid asked him to give way to him, and the handmaid was used to whipping the old scalper, and as a result, he annoyed the half-sized son, and actually tore more than a dozen people on the street in one breath, regardless of men and women.
Including the wife of the Sun family.
At night, Lord Sun, the attendant of the Ministry of Rites, knelt outside the gate of the General's Mansion all night, kowtowing until his forehead was rotten. In the morning, an ironclad soldier came out of the general's mansion, waved his hand and said get out, the little general didn't care, and the waiter from the Ministry of Rites of Sanpin dared to get up and go back to the funeral.
Since then, there has been a sentence circulating in Chang'an City in secret, and naturally no one dares to say it on the surface.
The three-grade master raised by the emperor is not as good as the old cow of the tiger general.
The General's Mansion is the former Prince Yi's Mansion.
Since Prince Yi's rebellion, this mansion has been idle. Later, the general moved in, and the garrison was all ironclad, so that no one dared to approach the whole street. As for the rebellious Prince Yi, some people say that he has been executed by the emperor, some people say that he is still locked up in the secret prison of the Ouchi Guards, and some people say that he brought him with him when Emperor Tianyou went west, and died in the chaos, in short, there are various theories.
Originally, such a big case, if the main culprit was not punished, it would definitely provoke a lot of discussions, but the chaos in the world that followed made people ignore this merry prince who was once well-known in Chang'an City.
In fact, Yang Yin is still alive.
Now he is locked up in Prince Yi's mansion, an independent small courtyard, guarded by cold ironclad soldiers outside the door, and a few subordinates are serving in the small courtyard, eating well and dressing well, not like a death row prisoner. In terms of food, what he eats ordinary people may not be able to eat for the rest of their lives. In terms of clothes, he actually wore brocade clothes and mink wool.
These days, he has been raised for nothing.
But I don't know why, everyone who sees this big man has a delusion. This prince is raised so well, he is not noble at all, but like a pig.
The ironclad general stood at the gate of the small courtyard, looked up at Yang Yin, who was smirking at the idiot, and shook his head slightly, and then turned to the distance, and the half-grown man called Flutter Tiger followed closely behind him, and glanced back at Yang Yin, with disdain in his eyes.
"People are wasted, and they are like pigs."
Flutter Tiger said.
The ironclad general paused slightly, and then slowly shook his head: "In the bones, there is still unruliness. ”
"Raised?"
Fluttering Tiger asked.
"Raised"
The Iron General nodded, and then strode away.
There were two sets of footprints left on the snow, the big one was the ironclad general, and the small one was the tiger, so harmonious, as if he should follow wherever he went, it was natural. The ironclad general raised his hand and rubbed Flutter Tiger's messy hair, and Flutter Tiger smiled with satisfaction and happiness.
