Chapter 372: The True Meaning of Marriage
Shanxi completely calmed down, but Lu Xiangsheng, who was the commander-in-chief, did not have a happy expression, and his gloomy face was silent. More than a dozen subordinates below were facing each other, and they didn't dare to gasp for breath.
Li Zicheng was finally escaped, and after two days of investigation, Li Zicheng was not found at all, especially none of his cronies.
Everyone knows that Lu Xiangsheng must be in big trouble this time, Chongzhen has already stated that he will cut off Li Zicheng's head, but unfortunately Lu Xiangsheng can't offer it, which will be nerve-wracking.
The silence in the council hall continued until the eunuch of the prison army hurriedly arrived, and the atmosphere was restored to a little lively.
"How? The emperor ......" Lu Xiangsheng didn't even say hello, and when he saw the eunuch of the prison army coming back, he immediately went out to inquire.
"The emperor ordered you to return to Beijing immediately and ask you face-to-face." The eunuch of the prison army came directly to say this.
Lu Xiangsheng fell into silence again, and only after a long time did he see him sigh lightly: "Anyway, life or death, leave it to fate!" ”
After speaking, Lu Xiangsheng left the council hall directly, set up a room of people who didn't know what to do, and finally dispersed first under the orders of the eunuchs of the prison army.
Lu Xiangsheng didn't want to inquire about the emperor again, he directly rode a fast horse, took a dozen personal guards and went straight to Jingshi. Two days later, he entered the imperial city and saw Chongzhen with a cold face.
"Li Zicheng ran away,......" Chongzhen's cold voice stabbed Lu Xiangsheng's heart like a needle prick.
"The minister deserves death, fails to complete the task, and is willing to accept any punishment." Lu Xiangsheng was also dry, he didn't give any explanation, and directly knelt down and confessed.
Chongzhen was unmoved, he snorted coldly: "Do you think that I won't punish you like this?" ”
Lu Xiangsheng's forehead touched the ground lightly, and he replied without humility or arrogance: "The minister doesn't dare." ”
A murderous intent flashed in Chongzhen's eyes, but it was quickly hidden. At this moment, he did have the urge to kill, Li Zicheng made trouble in Shanxi this time, almost endangering the Jingshi, Chongzhen was angry.
Obviously, Li Zicheng had been surrounded in Huaiqing Mansion, but in the end, he was allowed to escape safely, which made Chongzhen feel as uncomfortable as eating a fly.
Although he really wanted to cut off Lu Xiangsheng's head directly, there was only one general left for him at present, kill him, and if the Houjin army came to commit another crime in the future, he would have no one to use.
After some deep thought, Chongzhen had to secretly suppress the anger in his heart, and he said coldly to Lu Xiangsheng: "Let's go around you this time, and read on your hard work these days, even if you have no merit." But you remember to me that if there is a next time, you don't need to come to see me, you can finish it yourself, understand? ”
After Lu Xiangsheng heard this, his heart suddenly relaxed, and he thanked him loudly: "The ministers will keep it in mind, and thank the emperor for not killing him." ”
Chongzhen seemed to be very impatient with Lu Xiangsheng at the moment, and after warning him, he directly ordered him to retreat.
As soon as Lu Xiangsheng left, Wu Chengen came in later, and he chuckled and said, "Your Majesty, you have already found out clearly, that Mao Wenlong got married in Xi'an Mansion today." ”
Recently, there have been frequent troop movements in Henan and Shaanxi, and it seems that something big has happened. When Chongzhen learned about it, he thought that Mao Wenlong was going to send troops to fight again, so he left and sent someone to investigate.
He was very surprised to hear Wu Chengen's report: "Mao Wenlong got married today? ”
Wu Chengen said with certainty again: "Exactly." The frequent dispatch of soldiers and horses is just that the generals of the Dongjiang Army have set off to Xi'an to congratulate them, and they are not aimed at us. ”
At this point, Chongzhen was finally relieved, and Daming could finally rest for a while.
Today's Xi'an Mansion City is more lively than ever, and the whole city is immersed in a festive atmosphere.
Mao Wenlong was overjoyed today, all the generals from all over the country who could come in person had already arrived, and those who could not come in person had also sent their cronies to congratulate him.
The 30,000 old Dongjiang troops were also named by Mao Wenlong to gather here, Chen Jisheng, Xu Fuzuo, Liu Guangzuo, Cheng Zuo, Shang Kexi, Kong Youde, it turned out that these generals who had followed Mao Wenlong from Dongjiang Town also arrived one by one.
These people gathered together, and the atmosphere was quite active, especially Chen Jisheng, who was really congratulated by his previous boss, and he was also a little fluttering for a while.
The last trip to Tatar really made him famous in the army, and he was also recognized by those who came before him. Without it, everyone in the army recognizes the strength of many people, as long as you have military merits and lead good soldiers, people will recognize it.
Chen Jisheng is now getting his wish and getting everything he has always wanted, which belongs to the time of the scenery.
"Thank you for the love of the two generals, you need to mention more in the future." Chen Jisheng was rarely modest.
Shang Kexi was calm on the surface, but in fact, he still regretted it in his heart, if he hadn't escaped at that time, he wouldn't have ended up like this now.
Fortunately, Mao Wenlong ignored the past and let the two of them return again. But when I saw my former subordinates in front of me, but now they are so beautiful, and if I want to say that there is no pimple at all, it is completely self-deception.
Shang Kexi stepped forward and patted Chen Jisheng on the shoulder and said: "You kid has always been ruthless, and the facts have proved that you are a good general, and being able to be recognized by your subordinates shows that you have stood on the broad road of success, and the future is limitless!" ”
Kong Youde was not far behind, and he also praised Chen Jisheng when he came up, but there was no way. Who told them that they now need to obey Chen Jisheng's orders in turn and deal with the tricks of their bosses, these two in front of them can be said to be familiar with it.
Here is the original Dongjiang army gathered together, and Hong Chengchou's side is the people who have defected to the imperial court, Chen Qiyu and his subordinates, as well as Hong Chengchou's original subordinates, these people also gathered together and talked happily.
Today's marriage can be described as a great joy, Hong Chengchou's daughter Hong Ziyan and Mao Wenlong got married, which means that the people who defected to the court will have a much better sense of belonging in the future.
And this is also an important reason why Hong Chengchou suddenly wanted to marry Hong Ziyan in a hurry.
Chen Qiyu and Hong Chengchou sat quietly in the room, both of them with smiles on their faces. Chen Qiyu suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Now that the marriage has been completed, after this marriage, we will no longer be regarded as outsiders in the Dongjiang Army." Lord Hong has made great contributions! ”
Hong Chengchou accepted Chen Qiyu's gift with a smile, and he said with a chuckle: "General Chen can also rest assured, the marriage of the little girl is done, which also means that the general soldier intends to rectify the things in the army again, look at it, after the marriage, there will definitely be changes in the army." ”
