Chapter 336: Two Paths of Life and Death

"If you want to talk about this Shandong, in addition to the miscellaneous names in Denglai, there were originally three more famous general soldiers, but now Liu Zeqing died by self-immolation, and the deputy chief soldier Qiu Lei suddenly disappeared in Licheng some time ago, and there was no reason for the small multi-party inquiry."

"As for the general army of Caozhou, it is said that every day in the house, the door is not out of the door, and even the purchase of some water and rice is done by the subordinates, and these are all the hands and feet of the king."

In a courtyard, a horseman wearing a bright red and gorgeous armor was nodding his head and reporting to the new Shandong Supervisor Lu Jiuyu.

Wang Zheng has not come back these days, Huang Yang discussed with Li Yan of Zuo Junyi on the one hand, and sent a document to Kaifeng to explain the whole matter clearly, and wait for him to come back to make a decision.

On the other hand, at present, Wang Zheng is not in Shandong, and the placement method of the Son of Heaven's close attendants can only be done by Governor Yan Jizu, after all, Huang Yang is only a deputy commander-in-chief, and Li Yan and Guan Qingtian's identities in the official family are just the same knowledge.

Lu Jiu was wearing a python robe, leaning on the old man's chair with a listening and not listening, chewing a few black grapes in his mouth, and spit out a few black seeds from time to time, looking lazy like that.

Behind him, there were several maids specially rationed by the Shandong side who were fanning their clothes.

Hearing these words, Lu Jiu's expression suddenly turned to the side, and he sat up from the chair, "What are you talking about, are these true?" ”

Natiqi naturally nodded with great conviction, and seeing this, Lu Jiu spit the grape skin on the plate and muttered:

"That means that now this Shandong is completely Wang Zheng's own decision?"

"I'm afraid that it's not only that, but the little one also heard that Shandong's current political envoy has long become a decoration, what is the real decree called... That's right, it's called the Military Council, and Li Yan of the Left Military Council is even called 'Xiao Buzheng'. ”

Seeing that Lu Jiu's face was puzzled, Ti Qi followed up and explained:

"This is a private department set up by Wang Zheng, and from a small point of view, the ambition is not small."

At this time, Lu Jiu couldn't sit still anymore, and waved the maid away repeatedly, and only after they all exited the door did he scold angrily:

"Bastard! This is simply a great rebellion, and the political secretary has become an ornament, so how can the will of the saint and the order of the court still be transmitted? ”

The more I thought about it, the more terrible I felt, Lu Jiu wandered around the room for a long time, "No, prepare the four treasures of the above room, our family has to tell the saint about these things!" ”

Soon, Xingwen was taken out of the courtyard by a horseman, but as soon as he went out, he was intercepted, and it turned out that the courtyard was already surrounded by soldiers of the Shandong army, and a sentry named Qi Tianliang was specially assigned to guard it.

"Why, this is an excerpt to be sent to the current emperor, you are not a little person, and you dare to stop our Jingshi Tiqi?"

The red-clothed rider was still full of arrogance, and when he saw that the other party stretched out his hand to block it, he was directly about to break out, but Qi Tianliang's hand was tightened and used vigorously, and this rider enjoyed happiness all day long in Beizhili, and he couldn't rush over it for a while, so he reprimanded.

Qi Tianliang only used six points, and seeing that although the other party was dressed gorgeously, he only had this ability, and immediately sneered and said:

"I'm sorry Uncle Jing, no one is allowed to go out without the order of the big handsome!"

The commander was shocked, and asked:

"Could it be that the king has come back?"

The other party didn't answer directly, but looked at him like a fool, and snorted coldly:

"This is asked, we bare-bottomed children on the streets of Licheng know that our handsome arrived in Licheng three days ago, and now we are discussing important matters with the generals and senators in the Marshal's Mansion a few streets away, and I advise you to stay honest!"

Ti Qi was frightened, and hurriedly returned to the house to tell the news, Lu Jiu fell directly on the old man's chair, and said in his heart, how could Wang Zheng, who was killed by God, come back so quickly, he has only been here for a few days, and he is afraid that he will rush back when he hears the news.

......

In the next few days, the overseer Lu Jiu still did not give up, but all the methods that could be tried were used, and the flying pigeon messenger was shot down by the soldier Zhang Bow and arrow, and sent Ti to ride hard, and finally was beaten with a blue nose and swollen face and said that he would not go out, and finally only got one news.

The soldiers of the Shandong army stationed in Licheng, on the pretext that there have been traitors in the city recently, have completely blocked several streets near where they are located, and the number of soldiers patrolling from morning to night has increased several times, and even on the roofs of nearby houses, many bird gunners and archers who can use bows and arrows have been arranged to defend day and night, and it seems that it is difficult to fly even if they have wings.

The people inside were not allowed to go out for half a step, and every morning different maids came in with food and water and put them in the courtyard, in the name of "good life" to take care of the Son of Heaven's close attendants.

Wang Zheng is doing such nonsense, he doesn't take the emperor in his eyes at all, and it stands to reason that the governor yamen should have made a move a long time ago, so Lu Jiu waited left and right, but he just couldn't wait for any news.

Yan Jizu, the governor of Shandong, seems to have conspired with Wang Zheng for a long time, and he has always turned a blind eye to this matter, and the people of the governor's yamen and the political envoy Si Yamen have not seen any shadow in this area at all.

......

A few more days passed, and the dozen or so Jingshi Tiqi who accompanied him also felt that the big thing was not good.

I thought it was a good errand to live happily, but I didn't think that I would even have to take my life here, and I became a captive livestock, which is really embarrassing.

As the days passed, Lu Jiu gradually calmed down from the initial panic, and he also figured it out, anyway, no one ran away, and what he said didn't work, judging from the performance of Governor Yan Jizu, Shandong was already in the same breath and unshakable.

If those loyal old eunuchs would bring a bag of poison with them when they were in charge of the army, in order to kill themselves by taking poison when they were called to the heavens and the earth.

can not only be loyal to the current emperor, but also use his life to remind his master that Shandong is unusual, after all, the slave of the Son of Heaven died here in vain, which will indeed attract the attention of all parties.

But Lu Jiu is not this kind of eunuch, he has been waiting for the emperor's concubines for more than ten years, in order to get ahead one day, and now he finally has a glamorous errand, and he has not enjoyed enough enjoyment, how can he be willing to die.

So what else can I do now, eat and wait for death, and live one day at a time.

However, it is also strange to say that the Shandong side sent people to surround the house in order to kill themselves like Qiu Lei, the former deputy commander-in-chief?

It was also a pleasure to be stabbed neatly, but Wang Zheng was embarrassed to consume it so much if he didn't do it for a long time, which not only made Lu Jiu's already small courage less and less, but the bottom line of this matter in his heart was getting lower and lower.

At the end of November of the thirteenth year of Chongzhen, someone from the Shandong army came.

But this person is neither Wang Zheng nor Li Yan, let alone the four generals Huang Yang and Dong Youyin, the deputy commanders, but he is a little-known person.

Lu Jiu, who received the report from his subordinates, sighed, but he was helpless, what he was looking forward to was not this day, so he quickly gave this matter, what did the other party say!

The person who came was Gu Junen, the director of the Staff Office of the Shandong Military Council, this person Lu Jiu had never heard of, but looking at this appearance, with a mustache on his mouth, he looked very sven, but he walked in a hurry, and he should be a good accommodating character.

After the other party entered the door, he didn't hold any big gifts, but just politely bowed his hands according to the rules, which is a way of courtesy.

Lu Jiu, who was accustomed to receiving civil and military gifts, was a little annoyed, and said in his heart that there was really no royal law, a person who didn't even have an official body, and who jumped out of the horns from somewhere, actually dared to meet him, the close servant of the Son of Heaven who was guarding one side.

However, it was obvious that Gu Junen, who came with the order, didn't care what the eunuch was thinking, and said directly and indifferently:

"Father-in-law Lu, the handsome man of my family said that there are two ways to give you life and death, and it depends on how you choose!"
