211 Overnight Summons (3rd Shift)
Zu Dashou naturally knew the seriousness of the matter, and it was impossible to reveal what the emperor said to outsiders. Otherwise, if the civilian officials know, the ultimate loss of interests will be a military attache like him who is in a high position and has nothing to promote.
He stood still on the edge of his seat, and said to Cao Wenzhao with a smile on his face: "By Your Majesty's command, summon Vice General Cao to meet in the apse!" ”
When Cao Wenzhao heard this, he immediately stood up, feeling a little excited. Being summoned by His Majesty alone is also a special honor! What's more, judging from Zu Dashou's situation, it is likely to be a good thing.
Therefore, he did not dare to delay, and in the envious eyes of the generals, he sorted out his appearance and walked quickly to the apse.
Zu Dashou watched his back disappear at the door of the hall, and then sat back in his seat, and his eyes didn't look at the other generals, but just looked down at the desk in front of him, and began to think about the news he had just heard.
Outside the Jingshi City, when the low-ranking officers outside Tian'an Gate lined up to return, the soldiers of the Jingying and the Imperial Horse Supervisor had already withdrawn from the camps of the Qinwang army. Except, of course, from the camp at Maslona.
Therefore, for these junior officers, it felt like nothing was going on on in the camp at all. After entering the camp, they dispersed only to know that something had happened.
However, what does the matter of Ma Shilong's military camp have to do with them! They had a lot of words to convey in their hearts, even to the point of passing on words to their subordinates while eating.
After those soldiers heard about the Daming Martyrs' Hall, it was a matter of their own interests, and they immediately put what happened in Ma Shilong's military camp behind them, and they were all immersed in the gossip about the Daming Martyrs' Hall.
And Ma Shilong's subordinates like Xu Wenbo immediately found out that something was wrong after entering the camp. They didn't have time to feel that something was wrong, so they were urged by the captain of the Jinyi Guard behind them, and they came to the school field along the passage isolated by the soldiers of the Beijing camp.
When they arrived here, they found that there was a high-ranking general sitting on the platform. Xu Wenbo happened to recognize it, and was very surprised, why was Manshuai in the camp?
Naturally, he didn't know that Man Gui was no longer the chief soldier of Datong, but was knighted and officially became the governor of Beijing, so he could only stand up with the order.
These low-level officers, for Man Gui, are also very fond of them. He immediately repeated what he had said before, and wanted to incorporate these low-ranking officers into the Beijing camp.
Xu Wenbo listened silently, and when he found that his army was annexed, he didn't have any disgust. If you think about it, you can see why.
If it had been before yesterday, even if they entered the Beijing camp from the border army, for these people, there would not be much higher salary.
At least one thing they know, there is no war in the Beijing camp all the year round, and there is basically no difference between the family members and ordinary soldiers in Ma Shilong's army, and some are only treated differently from the distance to the generals, and then they are cattle and horses for those generals.
In this case, if there is such a situation in front of them, they may resist, which is also the basis for Ma Shilong to say those words in the Imperial Palace at that time.
However, at this time, Xu Wenbo and the others, since they learned the news of the Daming Martyrs' Hall in Tiananmen Square, their minds have changed. Originally, they were worried about their status as domestic slaves, but now that they have an opportunity, they are naturally moved.
In addition, they feel that the emperor is far better than they imagined, and Jingying will inevitably be different from before, and they hope to see how far their future can be in Jingying.
Man Gui didn't expect that the incorporation of these low-level officers in Ma Shilong's team would be so smooth! If you think about it, you can see what is at play.
Thinking about this, he couldn't help but turn his head to look in the direction of the Forbidden City, and once again admired the emperor in his heart, he actually solved a general army with heavy troops in his hands, without any accidents, which is really amazing!
He looked up and saw that it was not early, so he went to see Gao Shiyue, the eunuch of the Imperial Horse Supervisor Palm Seal at the head of the Desheng Gate in Beijing, and the two of them ordered the troops to be collected together, and they completed today's task without any danger.
On the side of Wuying Palace, Cao Wenzhao waited until it was dark before being put back into the front hall. At this time, the city gate was closed, and the emperor had an order, so he let them rest in the city for one night, and then go out of the city with the emperor tomorrow morning.
Hu Guang was really tired today, and when he drove back to the harem, he almost didn't want to speak. But tomorrow is the Chinese New Year's Eve, another important day, for him, it is destined to be a busy day.
However, he didn't care about any of that. What he cared about was that there were nearly 100,000 Qin Wang troops outside the city, but he couldn't get much supplies, and he would treat them in the Chinese New Year's Eve. The only thing that can be done is to reward the pitiful little material and send a bowl of chicken soup for the soul. And the quality of this bowl of chicken soup for the soul depends on Hu Guang's own ability, and the effect may be completely different.
In addition to these, I also prepared another thing for myself. Whether this thing can be implemented successfully or not is really very important.
Thinking of this, Hu Guang had to set up the imperial study again. Sure enough, a box with a small lock was placed on the royal case.
He took a key from his body, unlocked it, and took out the contents. At the top was a piece of music, which he ignored and put it aside, then carefully looked at the rest.
After looking at it over and over again, Hu Guang couldn't help but nod. Hu Zhengyan's craftsmanship is really not blown, who can imitate something of this level? After he knew the bottom of his mind, he picked up the book and read it.
After a while, after reading it, he frowned and thought for a while, and immediately ordered: "Pass on the head and assist Wen Tiren, the head of the household department is full of self-strictness, and the Ministry of Rites is the secretary Xu Guangqi to meet you!" ”
Fang Zhenghua, the eunuch who was waiting beside him, was taken aback when he heard this, and hurriedly reminded in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the palace door has been locked!" ”
When Hu Guang heard this, he couldn't help but show a wry smile, nodded and said, "I know, but I don't have time to wait for tomorrow!" The 100,000 troops outside the city are 100,000 mouths, and once the army runs out of food, the Jingshi will not have much remaining food for them to consume! ”
As soon as he heard this, Fang Zhenghua was also helpless in his heart, Da Ming was poor like this! He did not dare to delay any longer, and immediately sent someone to deliver the decree.
Wen Tiren, Bi Ziyan and Xu Guangqi saw that it was dark, the palace door was locked, and the emperor sent someone to summon them, so they didn't dare to slack off and hurried to the palace with the angel. At the same time, I wondered in my heart, the emperor was in such a hurry, I don't know what it was for!
Among them, Wen Tiren knew a lot, and even thought a little more, he was afraid that something would happen to Ma Shilong's family!
But when he saw the emperor, he saw that the emperor had a calm face, and he knew that he was wrong. So, just wait for the emperor to speak.
