"Tired of receiving orders!" A knight shouted from afar, confused and nervous at the sight before him, saying that these people were soldiers, and they did not even have a complete armor, and that their clothes were already tattered and covered with mud, more like clay figures that had just come out of the ground, but to say that these people were outcasts, there were obvious queues, divided into front and back, left and right, and many of them still had weapons in their hands.

The knight wondered if the tired marquis was really inside, and planned to shout only three times, and if there was no response, he immediately turned around and returned to the team, and just after the second shout, two people came out of the team in front of him, also covered in mud, and could no longer see what the original clothes were.

"Tired marquis here, who will make the decree?" The king of the East China Sea shouted loudly, volunteering to be the spokesperson for Han Ruzi, not because he was willing to live under him, but because he was too curious, believing that this holy decree was not only very important to Han Ruzi, but also had a great impact on himself.

The knight was stunned for a moment, and replied: "Yes, it's the Governor of the Soldiers and Horses, Lord Han, wait a minute." ”

The knight looked at it carefully for a while, and then rode back to say goodbye.

"It's not a eunuch in the palace, it's actually a Korean star." The king of the East China Sea was surprised, "There must be something big going on in the court, and my uncle may have other troubles......

Han Ruzi turned to Chao Hua and Jin Chunzhong and said, "Be ready, listen to my orders at any time." ”

The two bowed down to receive the order, and quietly ordered someone to give orders to the centurions of each team.

The king of the East China Sea said: "What do you want?" Resisting the Divine Decree? This is called rebellion, and if you knew this, you might as well start according to my plan, and then you may all be on the throne. ”

A small group of knights approached in the distance, and when they were more than a hundred paces apart, most of them stopped. Only one person moved on. Restrain the horse in front of Han Ruzi. It was the Governor of the Soldiers and Horses, Han Xing.

Han Xing smiled and said, "Come and help me get off the horse." ”

The King of the East China Sea glared, although he and Han Ruzi were juniors, they were one level higher than Han Xing in terms of title, and there was no reason to help this old guy get off the horse.

Han Ruzi stepped forward, and the King of the East China Sea whispered behind him, "Just let the guards help him." ”

Han Ruzi still walked to the horse and stretched out his hand to greet him, and Han Xing slowly dismounted. The whole body was pressed on Han Ruzi's hands, which was quite heavy, and after his feet landed, he let out a sigh, "It's not okay to be old if you don't accept the old man, and your bones will be scattered when you go out of the city." ”

Han Ruzi smiled and said nothing, he remembered that this clan elder spoke little in the Qinzheng Pavilion and barely spoke, and when the palace changed last year, it was Han Xing who finally got the Taizu Sword. claimed that the sword was sent by the Queen Mother.

Han Xing untied a bag from his neck and took out a scroll of holy decrees from it. didn't read it out immediately, and glanced up at the crowd on the official road, "This is the righteous army gathered by the Tired Marquis?" ”

"The court already knows?"

"Hehe, if you don't even know what happened in Gyeonggi, the imperial court will not be the imperial court. Well, yes, the army is neat and the fighting spirit is high. ”

"If you have something to say, say it, don't be sarcastic." The King of the East Sea walked over and stared at the Divine Decree.

"Sarcasm? Why did the king of the East China Sea say this? The invasion of the northern captives, the world is terrified, at this critical moment, the tired marquis and the people of the capital hold high the banner of righteousness, leading the world, who does not respect the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty? ”

"Hey, that's a nice thing to say, so you're here to be an official?"

Han Xing smiled and nodded, "Exactly." As he spoke, he handed the holy decree to Han Ruzi, "Let's read it out by yourself." ”

Han Ruzi didn't need to kneel down when he received the decree, but it was still a little strange for him to read the decree himself. He took the decree, opened it and read it, bewildering and bewildered.

The king of the East China Sea watched it together, "this, this ......" snatched it and looked at it again, "What the hell is going on?" ”

"Let's make a decree first." Han Xing said with a smile.

"Come on." Han Ruzi was still calm.

The king of the East China Sea suppressed the doubts in his heart, turned to face everyone, and said: "The edict said: I have heard that there is virtue, reward the material, the friendship between ancient and modern, and the tired Hou Yu is loyal and upright, and the outside is Mingde, and the book seeks war. It was crowned as the general of the north of the town, and a thousand households were sealed. ”

The volunteers gathered and broke the line, most of them did not understand the meaning of the holy decree, and their faces were full of confusion.

The king of the East China Sea said helplessly: "Tired Hou Yu...... is this one, he was named the general of Zhenbei, and you will all be the officers and soldiers of Dachu who eat the emperor's grain in the future. ”

Only then did everyone suddenly realize that they cheered in unison, and some people whispered to Chao Hua: "We were originally going to avoid conscription and conscription to gather in the village by the Yi River, how can we ...... How did you become an officer and soldier again? ”

Chao Hua waved his hand and used his prestige to persuade those around him to raise objections.

"Tired of taking orders." Han Ruzi said that he received the holy decree from the king of the East China Sea.

The smile on Han Xing's face retracted a little, "Tired Hou doesn't seem to be very happy. ”

The king of the East China Sea preemptively said: "Trapped in the wilderness for several days, someone attacked, no one came to rescue, his eyes were dark, he didn't know anything about the affairs in the court, and he was suddenly named the general of Zhenbei - are you happy?" ”

Han Xing put away his smile, "Please take a step to speak." ”

Han Ruzi snorted, turned around and gestured to Chao Hua and Jin Chunzhong, asked the two to regroup in line, and then followed Han Xing to the side of the road, the King of the East Sea followed, Han Xing stopped and shook his head at him slightly.

"I'll just ask one thing, my uncle...... How is Mrs. Choi? ”

"Mrs. Cui? Everything is fine, he has written to ask for war, and he has been named the general of the Broken Prisoner. ”

The king of the East China Sea was stunned on the spot.

Han Xing led Tihou out of dozens of steps, with no one on the left and right, and said in a low voice: "Tihou has suffered a lot these days, right?" ”

"It's okay, didn't this come out too?"

Han Xing smiled and nodded, "I won't guess dumb riddles with the tired marquis, many things have happened in the past few days in the court, and some of them are related to the tired marquis." ”

"I am in doubt, I hope the Metropolitan Governor will tell me."

"Cui Taifu and the King of the East China Sea intend to rebel, do you understand?"

Han Ruzi nodded, he didn't trust this person very much, and tried to listen as much as he could.

"Fortunately, the Queen Mother has been prepared, but fortunately, she is tired...... The precipice was reined in and a big mess was eliminated. ”

"The Queen Mother is ready?"

Han Xing didn't explain, and continued: "Tired Hou will understand later." Just yesterday, Cui Taifu took a risk and colluded with Hou, the champion of the Northern Army. intends to flank the capital. ”

It was only then that Han Ruzi was taken aback. "Champion Hou?"

The champion Hou Hanshi was raised by the Queen Mother. How could he join forces with Mrs. Cui to rebel? Han Ruzi was incomprehensible.

"Of course, these two people did not admit to rebellion, and they were very cautious, they instigated the Marquis of Hengyang to attack the rebel army, wanting to take advantage of the chaos to kill the Marquis of Ti and the king of the East China Sea, and then preach that everything was done by the imperial court, so as to disturb the people's hearts and provide an excuse for the northern and southern armies to enter the city."

Han Ruzi was stunned for a long time. asked: "The northern and southern armies are united, and the capital is invincible, do you still need an excuse?" ”

Han Xing said with a smile: "Of course you need, the tired marquis may not know much about the northern and southern armies, the two armies from the big Sima down, even if it is a Jiupin general, they must be appointed by the military department, of course, the big Sima can be nominated, but in the end, it still has to be approved by the imperial court." The end of Emperor Wu. Da Sima's power is increasing day by day, but it has not reached the point of covering the sky with one hand. The rosters of the generals of the two armies are in the Metropolitan Governor's Palace. According to my estimates, 20 percent of the generals of the Northern Army and 40 percent of the generals of the Southern Army were nominated by Da Sima, and the rest were directly assigned by the Ministry of War. ”

Han Ruzi understood that the northern and southern armies were not completely loyal to Da Sima, and most of the generals still obeyed the orders of the imperial court, so he immediately had a question, "When Cui Taifu returned to Beijing to capture the southern army privately, the imperial court seemed helpless. ”

"The situation is different. Emperor Cui Taifu Wu served as the great Sima of the Southern Army, and his power in the army has become a success, and he returned to the capital last year with the defeat of King Qi, of course, he was supported by the military officials, and at that time, ...... "Han Xing made a look of embarrassment, and some words could not be said in public or private.

"I understand." Han Ruzi said that last summer, he and the king of the East China Sea, as the only two remaining sons of Emperor Huan, were the most qualified to inherit the throne, and the southern army supported the Cui family and the king of the East China Sea, and they were also famous.

Hou Hanshi, the champion of the Northern Army, as the orphan of the first prince of Emperor Wu, is even more qualified.

"Since the palace change, the imperial court has been trying to take back all the appointment rights of the northern and southern armies, Cui Taifu was a little anxious, but he didn't expect the champion Hou to be in a hurry, so that he was persuaded by Cui Taifu. Alas, he still ......" Han Xing shook his head with a wry smile, looking a little disappointed, "Anyway, the Tired Marquis and the King of the East China Sea are fine, and Taifu Cui's plan has failed again." The champion Hou regretted it, and immediately pleaded guilty to the imperial court and told everything. Mrs. Cui also wrote this morning to plead guilty. His Majesty thought that the frontier was at the time of employing people, and it was not appropriate to kill the generals, so he forgave the two great Simas and asked them to make meritorious contributions in the northern Xinjiang. ”

The so-called "imperial court" and "majesty" both refer to the empress dowager, Han Ruzi tried to recall that he had seen many generals appointed in the Di newspaper, but it would not be written in the recital "recommended by the Great Sima" or "selected by the military department", and as for the appointment of low-level generals, it would not appear in the Di Bao at all.

The Queen Mother actually resolved the military power of the two Great Simas through a group of ministers, and the King of the East China Sea always talked about the "100,000 Southern Army", but in fact, Cui Taifu could not command 100,000 people.

Han Ruzi still had many doubts, but Han Xing would not put his heart into him, so Han Ruzi could only stay in his heart for the time being, and asked: "The northern and southern armies are going to the northern frontier, who will guard the capital?" ”

"The court has its own arrangements. Please follow me back to Beijing to thank you, tired Hou wrote to ask for war, it did make a good start, the people who asked for war before were all real generals, a large number of nobles and relatives watched, after the tired Hou set an example, please play the battle chapter all of a sudden......"

"Has the Metropolitan Governor asked for war?" Han Ruzi didn't ask who wrote it for him.

Han Xing said with a smile: "Although he is old, he always has a loyal heart, how dare he be behind?" The first petition for war was submitted by Lao Yu, but His Majesty has not yet approved it. ”

All the crises did not exist for the time being, and Han Ruzi was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief, "Okay, please ask the Metropolitan Governor to lead the way." ”

"After the tired marquis returns to Beijing, he will get more rewards, since ancient times...... Tired of please. Han Xing swallowed the word "abolished emperor" in time.

The two returned to their original place together, and Han Ruzi carried Han Xing on the horse.

"I'll send a few horses later, the rebels can be stationed outside the city, and I've already arranged the camp." Han Xing patted his horse to join Su Wei.

"What did the old guy say?" The East Sea King asked.

"It's nothing, it seems that the problem has been solved, and we can go back to Beijing."

The King of the East China Sea didn't hear Han Xing's explanations, he only heard Han Ruzi tell the result, and his brows couldn't help frowning, "The Queen Mother asked us to go back to Beijing to thank you?" ”

"Let me go back to Beijing, I didn't mention you."

"It's the same, if you go back, I have to go back too." The King of the East China Sea suddenly grabbed Han Ruzi's arm, "I can't go back to Beijing, I must not go back to Beijing, as soon as we enter the city gate, we won't be able to get out again." ”
