Chapter 206: The Big Lie for Military Exploits
A few days ago, the personnel of Jinyiwei were slaughtered outside the city, but the murderer was never caught, the emperor was very angry, Jinyiwei was the emperor's personal guard, and the person who killed Jinyiwei was equivalent to slapping the emperor in the face, and the place where the crime occurred was not far from the capital, which was tantamount to challenging the emperor's authority.
If it is another official army, the location is somewhere at the border, even if thousands of people are wiped out, it will not make the emperor so angry, although all the troops are the emperor's, and the military power belongs to the emperor alone, but the status of the imperial forest army, Jinyiwei and other officials and soldiers in the emperor's heart is different.
This time, he took off the heads of the three murderers, but it greatly gave the emperor a long face, especially because the emperor has been promoted and reused these days, and he has been sneered at by the officials, and many people are waiting to see the jokes, hoping that the emperor will not come to the stage because of his ugliness.
Moreover, after dealing with these distinguished guests for a while, he left with his guards under the pretext that he was busy with military affairs.
After coming to the big school, Qi Jiguang looked at him with strange eyes, wondering why he suddenly went out and completed a great achievement in one day, and the credit was too easy to get it.
"Congratulations, brother, I'm going to be promoted this time." Qi Jiguang said with a smile.
"What kind of official is being promoted, I am already a commander, what other official can I be promoted? It's the end of it. Besides, he quipped.
"That's not the case, there are still three dukes and three orphans above, and there are dukes and marquises waiting for your brother, but you have too many grades now, this has to be mentioned first, and you have to get a product to talk about." Qi Jiguang said with a smile.
He has been in the army for many years, and he feels that there must be something wrong with this, but of course he won't say it, and if there is anything boring, he will not only not ask, but will also hide away, this kid is deep.
Besides, he smiled bitterly: "Big brother, you really look up to me, I really want to go to Fujian this time, and it is a fluke that I can come back alive." ”
"Don't be so pessimistic, there is nothing difficult in the world, as long as the emperor always supports you, there is hope for success."
Optimistic as Qi Jiguang, he doesn't dare to say that he is sure, he can only say that he is hopeful, which shows how optimistic he is about the trip to Fujian.
Besides, he asked many guards to go back to recuperate from his injuries, and Ji Chang was also sent back by him, just followed by a few guards, but there were two masters not far away who were always vigilant about the movements around them, and they were two of the three masters who were originally outside the mansion.
With these two people, it is stronger than five hundred guards.
After watching the drill for a while, besides, he went back by himself, under the pretext of visiting and comforting the injured guards.
He took Zhao Yang away, and he was not needed here.
Zhao Yang seemed to have changed as a person, no matter how windy or rainy, the errand of the big school field would not be absent for a day, so that he felt the great temptation of the marquisate title, knowing that there was little hope of getting it, but he still pursued it as always.
"I said brother, you're not authentic, why don't you take me with such a big credit?" Zhao Yang complained on the road.
"Second brother, can I leave you with such a good thing, no." Besides, he laughed.
"But I didn't participate in the arrest, what credit can I have?"
"You are not an official guard now, of course you can't participate in the arrest, otherwise you will be gossiped, but it doesn't mean that you have no merit." Besides, he laughed.
Zhao Yang was confused by him, can he take credit for not doing anything? Where's the credit?
Besides, he said to him with a smile that he had given the emperor another secret fold, which was handed over to Zhang Whale today, which wrote how Zhou Dingcheng and Zhao Yang led people to carefully reconnoiter and deploy carefully, which led to the successful arrest this time, and the preliminary work was indispensable.
"No, that's fine?" Zhao Yang touched his head and said, "Brother, you have played this set with others, and the emperor can see it at a glance." Zhao Yang smiled bitterly again.
"Of course I can see it, but as long as the emperor knows that I want to give you and Lao Zhou some credit, the emperor will not be stingy with this, but we have to give the emperor a reward." Besides.
"Oh, yes, thank you very much." Zhao Yang became happy at this time.
In fact, a lot has been written about Zhou Dingcheng and Zhao Yang, except for the preliminary work of this arrest is virtual, the others are real, Zhao Yang helped to train the troops, Zhou Dingcheng helped to preside over the affairs of the yamen, contact with the palace, and handle various other affairs, which is also a credit, and it is a fact for all to see.
That's why he asked for credit for the two of them, and at the same time asked for Zhao Yang to be officially appointed as an official Jinyi guard.
"Second brother, you will directly serve as an official of the guard in the future, and when I really want to go to the coast, you will sit in the guard as a left-behind official, there will not be many affairs, and any military exploits in front will have your share." Besides.
"Is that good? I'm not a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death. Zhao Yang was a little embarrassed by what he said.
"Two different things, there must be left-behind people in Beijing, and you and Lao Zhou must stay." Besides.
"He's going to stay too? Shouldn't he be by your side at all times? ”
Besides, shake your head.
Zhao Yang understood in his heart, the last time the two had a fight, it seems that the rift is still there, on the surface it is the same as the original, but there are subtle changes on the inside.
Of course, it is good to stay in Beijing, you can continue to spend all your time drinking, you don't have to take any risks, and you can still sit back and enjoy the military exploits ahead, which is of course a beautiful thing that you can't even think of in your dreams. Zhao Yang knew that this was for the sake of his sister's special care for him.
Back at home, Zhao Yang went to Zhou Dingcheng to chat and drink, and went to see those guards, they were all very excited, for the first time, they made military achievements, and saw many big people in the dynasty, all they heard were praises and praises, and even the emperor sent someone to pass on the decree of encouragement, and the official will of reward will soon come down.
They are excited and a little scared at the same time, they are weak in their hearts, they admire the audacity and lawlessness of the situation, but they all like it. With such an adult, they are willing to go to hell to fight.
In his bones, he is the biggest beneficiary, just this trick, the people's desire, and money can't buy it.
"How's it going, you're almost covered from your injuries, aren't you?" Besides, he laughed.
"It's all right, my lord."
"That's it, a little flesh wound, it will be fine that night, and there is no need for dressing at all."
"Well, I have to take care of it for a few days, this time I was not lightly injured, and I have to show outsiders the huge price we paid to arrest criminals." Besides, he commanded.
These people all understood that the bandage could not be removed yet, and it had to be bandaged continuously, and there had to be some blood stains on it, so that it could have a visual impact. As for whether the wound inside has healed or not, it does not matter, no one dares to open their bandages to examine the wound.
He came inside to find Zuo Ling, who did not go to the street and was recuperating at home, and was really injured.
Xiao Nier was in the left antelope room, and when she saw him come in, she glanced at him and went out angrily.
"Why did you come back so early?" Zuo Ling looks very good, but sometimes frowns and endures pain when he walks around.
She didn't blame it, because she was in charge of all this, and she couldn't blame anyone else.
"Zhang Whale in the palace specially told me that he couldn't buy our medicine, and asked for priority supply." Besides, he sat down and said.
"There's no way, there's just so much production, if it's all given to them, it won't be able to put it on the market, and besides, you have to have some inventory to prevent it from suddenly running out of stock. There are already a lot of them sold, why do you need so much in the palace? Could it be that all the people in the palace are making noise, or are the nerves not very often? "Zuo Ling doesn't have a good airway.
"Then I have to sell them a batch, if not, I will sell them the inventory first, since Zhang Whale has opened his mouth, this face must be given. In addition, don't we have enough medicinal materials, you can tell the people who buy medicines in the palace, let them exchange some medicinal materials for our medicines, there are many good medicinal materials in the palace that are not available on the market. Besides.
"yes, why didn't I remember that?" Zuo Ling suddenly realized.
Every year, the tribute to the emperor from all over the country is not only tea, wine, delicacies and seafood, almost everything, as long as it is produced in various places, once it is used in the palace and feels good, it is listed as a tribute, and it must be paid every year, not to mention medicinal materials. More than 10,000 people in the palace are naturally sick and have to take medicine, and the Imperial Doctor's Hall also needs medicinal materials to prescribe medicine.
There are a lot of medicinal materials that are paid to the palace every year, most of them are wasted, and some are stolen and sold by eunuchs of all sizes, and very few are really used.
Besides, when I talked to Zhang Jing, I had this idea, many medicinal materials were not available on the market, it didn't mean that there were no ones in the palace, since they wanted to give priority to buying enough medicines, they would exchange them for medicinal materials that they didn't need, which could be said to be very happy.
"It's normal that you can't think of it, because I'm the one in charge." Besides, it's a stinking fart.
"Bullshit." Zuo Ling grabbed him by the neck and threw him out.
It just so happened that a group of female guards outside couldn't help but laugh out loud when they looked at it.
"This ...... Don't give it to me, it's free. Besides, he cleared his throat, shouted to himself, and then straightened the collar of his clothes, and walked past the maid guards with a very solemn look.
"Well deserved." Jiu Niang covered her mouth and smiled not far away.
Yahuan and the female guards burst into laughter in the back, and they were also red-faced and red-eared when they heard it, and they didn't dare to turn their heads back, no matter how thick their skin was, there was a limit.
He knew that he shouldn't come to see Zuo Ling today, and he should hide for a few days before coming back, but Zhang Whale's explanation was not empty, and he had to do it immediately, so he had to be brave enough to go deep into the tiger's den.
"I said Ninth Sister, the mask has been taken off, this is the real face, it's so beautiful. In a few days, my brother will find you a good mother-in-law. He began to flirt with Jiuniang again.
Jiu Niang turned around and left, ignoring him as a big liar at all.
The three masters outside also looked at it and snickered, it seems that everything is not going well today for Childe, so let's be honest.
"Childe's status in the family doesn't seem optimistic." One laughed.
"That is, Mrs. Zuo is powerful, a flower in Fengyang, or a thorny rose."
"Well, I heard that Childe's wife is even more powerful."
"That son will be guilty in the future."
"What's that, who doesn't want to suffer this sin in the world, Childe is blessed. The three beauties in the south of the Yangtze River, the son has taken care of it. ”
