Chapter 203: Death So Sudden!
Of course, in fact, the soft sword was not so unbearable, it was just an illusion that Yang Chen had a preconceived idea and forcibly imposed it.
What is a soft sword?
The King of a Hundred Swords, there is no weapon that is more difficult to learn than a soft sword, you can learn ordinary swordsmanship, and it can be completed in one year or three years. And the soft sword technique is probably difficult to learn in a lifetime. Therefore, the soft sword is called the king of a hundred swords.
If you finish learning, then the soft sword is called a powerful one, the moves are weird, the number of ways is difficult to guess, and it can be said that it is impossible to prevent when fighting with people!
It's just that Yang Chen doesn't think so.
However, what if you don't feel so.
Yang Chen still obediently accepted the Ziwei soft sword, and said respectfully: "Thank you for the emperor's reward." ”
It was the moment when his voice fell, and suddenly, a rough voice sounded outside the door: "Get up, Lao Tzu wants to see the emperor, and you dare to stop it?" ”
"Marshal Cao, this, the emperor is reading in the Taiji Palace, and he said that no one can be disturbed inside, ......"
A few eunuchs outside the door wanted to stop them, but how could they stop them? After a while, a burly middle-aged man in his fifties wore armor and walked into the Taiji Palace majestically. There was more than one middle-aged man, and he was followed by more than a dozen soldiers.
"Your Majesty, Marshal Cao, this ......" Several eunuchs saw that they didn't stop Marshal Cao, and they were aggrieved.
"All right, you go down." Hongwu waved his hand and said.
After a few eunuchs went down, Marshal Cao slowly knelt on the ground and said with a solemn attitude: "Minister." Knock on the emperor! ”
He knelt down, and the soldiers behind him knelt down.
This made Yang Chen look at it in his eyes.
Fools can also see that this Hongwu Emperor has no prestige in front of Marshal Cao at all. Do you see the soldiers under the hands of men? Meet the Emperor. This Marshal Cao knelt, and they knelt.
If Marshal Cao doesn't kneel, they don't mean to kneel.
Marshal Cao's attitude was so vague, he could see it, how could Emperor Hongwu not see it? It's just that Emperor Hongwu doesn't seem to be angry at all, as if he didn't notice these at all.
"Uncle Cao. Zhong Aiqing, get up. Hongwu said in a respectful tone.
This Marshal Cao patted the dust and gradually got up. Then he said: "Emperor Xie! ”
Emperor Hongwu carried his hands on his back, even though he knew that this Marshal Cao did not respect him, he was still calm: "Uncle Cao is here today, what is the matter!" ”
Marshal Cao arched his hand and said, "Your Majesty." Today, the old minister is here. It is to tell you that the day of this training is set for 10 days later. I hope that the emperor will be able to take time to see the majesty of our iron-blooded soldiers who defend the country, and if the emperor can be present at that time, I believe that all the troops will be very happy. ”
When Emperor Hongwu heard this, his expression suddenly became serious.
And Yang Chen. I don't know if it's an illusion or whatever, I always feel that this Marshal Cao is wearing armor next to him. The man with a mustache and a small height seemed to be looking at him with a pair of cold eyes.
This made Yang Chen feel that the monk of Zhang's second brother was confused, but he didn't think about it either.
Emperor Hongwu's face did not change at this time, he put his hands on his back, and his bearing was still the same: "This military training is a national event, and I will naturally arrive on time tomorrow." ”
"In this way, the old minister will retire first." Marshal Cao's tone was hard, and he turned around and left.
In a blink of an eye, dozens of people left the Taiji Palace.
Let's just go, and don't take Emperor Hongwu in my eyes at all.
Seeing this Marshal Cao leaving, Yang Chen glanced at Gonggong Han next to him, and couldn't help but say: "Gonggong Han, what is the name of the middle-aged man with a mustache and a small height next to Marshal Cao?" ”
What he felt just now was true, this man had been looking at him deadly, and his eyes were overflowing with hatred, as if he was afraid that others would not know that they had a deep hatred.
Father-in-law Han listened to Yang Chen's question, his head was full of doubts, but he still answered truthfully: "Lord Yang, what are you asking him for?" He is the adjutant general next to Marshal Cao, and he is deeply favored by Marshal Cao, I remember that people call him the deputy general of the horse, what is the name of the horse......"
"Ma Changhe?" Yang Chen's expression was cold, and he said abruptly.
"That's right, it's Ma Changhe!" Han Gonggong thought back.
This made Yang Chen's expression tense, he put his hands behind his back, and smiled dumbly, it was really a narrow road. That's right, if it's really as Wan Renjie said, this Ma Deputy General follows Marshal Cao's subordinates, and covers the sky with such a hand, then there is no reason why he won't see this Ma Changhe.
After all, he killed someone else's own son.
Who is Ma Changhe?
Ma Hongrui's father! He had beheaded the brute's father on the walls of the city.
He should have thought of it a long time ago, Marshal Cao...... There is only one marshal of soldiers and horses in the entire Wei Dynasty, and the deputy generals under him hate him, who else can there be besides Ma Changhe?
"It seems that I am afraid that it will be uneasy in the future." Yang Chen rubbed his eyebrows, somewhat headache.
He killed Ma Hongrui, that was to kill Ma Changhe's biological son, it is strange if people don't hate themselves. It's just that Yang Chen didn't have the slightest remorse, and if he was given a chance, he would still kill Ma Hongrui.
As soon as he thought of this, when Yang Chen came back to his senses, he only felt that Han Gonggong pushed him, and he realized that this Hongwu Emperor was sitting on the chair worriedly, and his expression changed from the usual when he talked to Marshal Cao just now to a sad face.
After a while, Emperor Hongwu got up and said, "Little Hanzi, you go and inform my Longmen Army about the military training." ”
"Yes, Your Majesty." Father-in-law Han hurriedly went down.
Emperor Hongwu sighed heavily when he saw Gonggong Han leaving.
Yang Chen couldn't help but say, "Your Majesty, are you worried about what happened just now?" ”
Emperor Hongwu glanced at Yang Chen, stood with his hands in his hands, and sighed bitterly: "What you said is right, Yang Chen, do you know what this generalissimo of soldiers and horses is in charge of?" ”
"In charge of all the soldiers in the world, theoretically speaking, the soldiers of the entire Wei Dynasty are all under his orders." Yang Chen said.
When Emperor Hongwu heard this, he said self-deprecatingly: "Don't you think it's ironic? The soldiers of the Wei Dynasty all listen to him, isn't I, the emperor, a vain, as long as he Marshal Cao thinks, wouldn't my Hongwu Emperor say that he was destroyed by him? ”
Yang Chen blinked, feeling that Emperor Hongwu was right. If this is the position of generalissimo of soldiers and horses in charge of all the soldiers and horses in the world, then Emperor Hongwu will still be a fart emperor?
"Your Majesty, who sealed the position of Marshal Cao?" Yang Chen said curiously.
"It's my father, the Emperor." Emperor Hongwu said.
Yang Chen couldn't help but say: "Then the emperor, when the emperor and his old man appointed Marshal Cao as the generalissimo of soldiers and horses, he should have determined that this Marshal Cao would definitely be loyal to him." ”
"That's true, but it's true that Marshal Cao is loyal to my father, but that doesn't mean he is loyal to me." Emperor Hongwu laughed miserably.
That's the difference.
His father was very happy at the time, and the one who played with his subordinates was hot, and all the rights were released. What Prime Minister Mo and Marshal Cao were all raised by his father at that time. These people were indeed loyal to his father, but the sky was unpredictable.
His father was thinking that when he abdicated, he would slowly take back his rights.
However, I'm afraid that the other party himself couldn't have imagined that as a generation of emperors, he would die so inexplicably and suddenly! (To be continued.) )
