Chapter 103: Tiger Leaves the Mountain
Zhao Hede, who had not returned from a business trip for a long time, suddenly returned to Gushan Town at the end of November, and went to the military courtyard to meet Yu Hualong when he entered the city, and the two closed the door and talked secretly for an hour. In the evening of the same day, the generals gathered in the Hualong Immediate Hall and announced the cause of Huang Rengu's death in front of the Qing Navy and all the generals of Gushan Town. Zhao Hede went out this time to investigate Huang Rengu's affairs, and the cause of Huang Rengu's death should naturally be reported by him to the generals, but the strange thing is that Zhao Hede did not say anything, and it was Yu Hualong who told the truth about Huang Rengu's killing.
According to Yu Hualong, Huang Rengu drank a lot of alcohol before the boat that day, seasickness after getting on the boat, vomiting non-stop, Sang Rong had to turn back halfway, and placed him in the ferry Yedian to rest, Huang Rengu was thirsty in the middle of the night, got up to find water to drink, there was only an old man in the Yedian, sleeping deadly, Huang Rengu repeatedly shouted that no one answered, so he went out to find water, saw that the river was clear under the moonlight, bent down to pour, and accidentally fell into the water and drowned.
Sang Rong, who was in charge of escorting Huang Rengu, knew that he could not escape the blame, so he was afraid of the crime and absconded, and the other entourages did not dare to escape because their parents and wives were in Gushan, so they made up a lie to claim that Huang Rengu was assassinated by assassins.
Zhao Hede brought back the local Yicheng Mei Daliu and the owner of the wild shop, and several entourages who went to Xuzhou with Huang Rengu also came forward to testify, if these words came from the mouth of Zhao Hede, they would inevitably be questioned by everyone in every way, but the words came out of Yu Hualong's mouth, which means that Yu Hualong believed in these, and no one dared to question Yu Hualong's supreme and unshakable position in the Qing Navy and Gushan Town, and no one dared to question it face to face, and whether he believed it or not, he could only accept it in full.
Li Mao has seen the dark side of too many things, and he doesn't believe the truth about the so-called cause of Huang Rengu's death at all, and he is even more puzzled by Hualong's attitude. Like the generals in the hall, although he was skeptical, he didn't dare to question it face to face. After reporting the cause of Huang Rengu's death, the drum three links began to ask the military, and according to the usual rules, the envoy of the city bureau and the envoy of the military supervision institute needed to recuse themselves.
Li Mao was about to walk away after saluting, but the official on duty passed Yu Hualong's order: "The envoy of the city bureau and the small envoy can stay." Yu Hualong did not ask about the military on this day, but announced a news: at the beginning of December, the imperial court will send an envoy to Yunzhou to observe the military appearance on behalf of the Son of Heaven, and the generals of the garrison in Ziqing must be present at the fifth rank and above.
Watching the military Rong is also known as the small martial arts, the martial arts is also known as the big parade, it has been in ancient times, it is a kind of etiquette for the Son of Heaven to manipulate and review the army, the Tang Dynasty is generally arranged in winter, when the Son of Heaven comes to the scene to review.
The Son of Heaven generally does not come in person when he talks about martial arts, and the review location is mostly at the forefront of the war. After the Anshi Rebellion, the Son of Heaven reused eunuchs to contain the prime minister of Nanya and the local festival envoys, and the eunuchs began to pawn the army, and the envoys sent to the local area to watch the army gradually became cronies and eunuchs.
The towns in western Beijing generally visit the military once a year, the Central Plains and the south once every three years, and the three towns of Ziqing and Hebei have visited the military once a year since the end of the Anshi Rebellion for less than 10 times.
The last time Ziqing Dao watched the army was in the twelfth year of the Great Calendar, that year the Biansong Festival made Li Lingyao rebel, Li Shigu's grandfather Li Zhengji took the opportunity to occupy Cao, Pu, Xu, Yan, Yun five states, plus the original Zi, Qing and other ten states, a total of fifteen states. Li Zheng, who got a big bargain, has already appeared on the table to ask the Son of Heaven to send important ministers to watch the army in Yunzhou to show his heart.
After many years, Li Shigu invited the angel to come to Yunzhou to watch the army, what does it mean, and it is not difficult for people who understand the general trend of Ziqing to see that this is an authentic conspiracy! Yang is a hundred times more powerful than a conspiracy, if Yu Hualong is called to Yunzhou at this moment, he is very likely to be in prison, and if he doesn't go, he will be charged with the crime by Li Shigu.
The so-called head extension is a knife, and the head shrinkage is also a knife, and you can't dodge it left and right.
The construction general Shang Helai, the sword and brand head Chen Yangbi, the deputy general of the Ma Army Dong He, and the front hall general Zhao Jingye made a loud noise, against Hualong going to Yunzhou, the deputy envoy Yin Mu has not been silent, but his attitude is obviously also against Hualong's departure from Gushan Town, the clerk is silent, Zhao Hede's face is withered, and he can't see his tendency.
Li Mao noticed that Yu Hualong's gaze was moving towards him, so he hurriedly lowered his head, and contemplated like a clerk, at this juncture, he didn't want to show his attitude.
The noise in the hall became louder, seeing that no one stopped him, more people began to echo Shang He Lai's group, seeing that the scene was about to get out of control, Yu Hualong suddenly slammed the cup to the ground, the porcelain cup was splashed, and the hall was silent.
Yu Hualong's gaze swept over the angry faces like a knife, and everywhere he passed, all the generals lowered their eyebrows and bowed their heads.
"The angel watch the army is allowed in Yunzhou, I don't obey the edict, do you want to rebel? Will you not let me go, and will you force me to rebel? ”
The generals in the hall did not dare to take a breath, and after Yu Hualong put down these two cruel words, he breathed a sigh of relief and said: "I will leave for Yunzhou tomorrow, Deputy Envoy Yin will go with me, and the military affairs will be represented by Deputy Envoy Zhao." ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone made an uproar again, Yin Mu was the undisputed number two person in the Qing Navy, and when Yu Hualong was not in power, Yin Mu had always acted as the agent for military affairs, and he had long been used to it. When the military envoy is not in the military town, according to the custom, a deputy envoy should stay behind to act as an agent for military affairs and handle important military and political affairs, and this position is very important. In the minds of the generals, this left-behind position is without him, how can it be Zhao Hede?
Li Mao noticed that Yin Mu was extremely shocked when he heard the news, Rao is extremely self-cultivation, and he also showed that he was not calm, but he didn't shout like Shang Helai and the others.
Yu Hualong suddenly became very impatient, he didn't give any explanation at all, and threw his saber on the ground.
The knife was like a scoop of cold water into a pot that was about to boil, and the chamber suddenly became calm again.
In the Qing Navy, Yu Hualong was a god, and even Yin Mu, the number two person, was not qualified to question God's decision.
Li Mao didn't understand Hualong's arrangement at all, he really wanted to communicate with the clerk about this matter, probe the tone, get to the bottom of it, and when he left the gate of the military courtyard, he even stretched out his hand to stop the clerk, but finally held back. Yu Hualong is very scheming, he has always planned and then moved, he must have a deep meaning in this arrangement, this sensitive moment, it is better to keep a low profile.
On the second day, Yu Hualong and Yin Mu left Gushan Town, and the deputy envoy Zhao Hede officially took over military and political affairs. Li Mao and Zhao Hede have not dealt with each other for a long time, at first he didn't want to be labeled as Zhao Ji on his body, after the trip to Yunzhou, Li Mao and Zhao Jinglai got closer, Zhao Hede and Zhao Jinglai also had deep friendships, Li Mao kept a distance from him in order to avoid suspicion.
