Chapter 955: Promotion and Resignation
"Then I took your tiger talisman!"
After fighting for more than half an hour, Zhang Huazhi and Liu Jiqing were not Su Ren's opponents at all, and just when everyone saw that Su Ren was about to win, Liu Che suddenly said a word, which made the whole atmosphere take a 180-degree turn. The Emperor's words are holy decrees, and no matter who has a mouth, they must carry it out. Therefore, as soon as Liu Che's words were finished, Liu Jiqing came to Su Ren with a smile on his face and stretched out his hand.
Su Ren sighed, didn't say anything more, silently took out the tiger talisman from his arms and put it in Liu Jiqing's hand, and then lowered his head without saying a word. Zhang Huazhi saw that Su Ren's tiger talisman was taken away, and immediately ordered to prepare for the fight. Su Ren let the executioner pull his clothes apart, revealing his smooth back. Zhang Huazhi's hand raised slightly, and he turned his head to look at Liu Che. Liu Che was also looking at Su Ren, he waited for Su Ren to say something, but unfortunately Su Ren still didn't speak.
Thirty rods are not able to survive by ordinary people, and even if they are rough and thick-skinned, they may not be able to hold on, unless the executioner deliberately releases water. Although Su Ren was robbed of the tiger talisman, but in the past two years with the soldiers, everyone still has some feelings for his general, and it is inevitable to release water. Despite this, Su Ren was already dying after beating him with thirty rods, but he still didn't say a word.
The scene was a little awkward, and no one was happy. Even Zhang Huazhi and Liu Jiqing, who were angry with Su Ren, felt very bored. Liu Che kept his face black, watching Su Ren being beaten with thirty canes, and his entire back turned from white to red and then to purple. In Liu Che's heart, Su Ren is a sneaky and slippery guy, and he can do anything in order not to get hurt. He had already thought that as long as Su Ren begged for mercy, this matter would pass, but he didn't expect that Su Ren didn't.
Seeing Su Ren being carried down, Liu Che didn't say a word and stood up and walked towards his carriage. Zhang Huazhi wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say. Accompanied the emperor to the car, watched the emperor get into the carriage, and watched the emperor's car leave the camp, Zhang Huazhi was a little in a daze. Liu Che left and took away Su Ren's tiger talisman, but he didn't explain who would replace him, so he Zhang Huazhi naturally became the commander of the border army.
The brute cow gritted his teeth, gently put Su Ren on the bed, turned around and walked out: "I'm going to kill the one surnamed Zhang!" ”
"Come back!" Han Qing said with a dark face: "Mr. must have his intention to do this, don't make a mess, go to the medical officer and see how Mr.'s injuries are." Turning his head to look at Huang Shisan: "And you, no one is allowed to go to Sima, everything will be said when Mr. wakes up, go get some water to wash Mr. and wash his face." ”
It wasn't until the evening that Su Ren woke up, his back hurt very much, he bared his teeth in pain, and took a few breaths of cool air. Seeing that there were Han Qing, Huang Shisan, Manniu and Ma Hu in the tent, he smiled at a few people.
The beard knelt on the ground with an ordinary sound: "General, the villain is incompetent, he couldn't run back earlier, and you suffered from flesh and skin, please punish the general." ”
The wild cow agreed with the horse's approach, and the brother recognized it, looked at the injury behind the horse's beard and said: "It has nothing to do with you, it's all the harm of the surname Zhang, as long as the general says a word from you, I will go and bring the head of the surname Zhang now." ”
Su Ren waved his hand: "It has nothing to do with him, don't mention this matter, since the tiger talisman has been taken away, then I am no longer a general, I will move out of the barracks tomorrow, and when my injuries are almost recuperated, we will go back to Chang'an." After thinking about it, he said to Ma Huzi: "They are my auxiliary officers, you are not, so you have to stay, work hard, and don't worry about not being able to make contributions with your ability, and when you arrive in Chang'an in the future, I will invite you to drink." ”
"General!" The beard cried a handful of snot and a handful of tears.
Su Ren motioned to the wild bull to help the horsebeard up: "It's okay, I will admit your brother, okay, let's go!" Now Lao Zhang is in charge of the camp, don't be caught by him. ”
After sending away the horse beard, Su Ren drank saliva and rested for a while, and also let Huang Shisan and Manniu go out, leaving only Han Qing. Han Qing sighed: "Why should Mr. be cheap? Can't there be any other way? Your Majesty's love ......"
Su Ren smiled slightly: "Love is love, monarchs and ministers are monarchs and ministers at all times, and it is definitely not a good thing to have high merit and shock the lord." ”
"......"
Su Ren waved his hand: "It's better to be beaten than to be exterminated, you say?" ”
"Hey!" Han Qing sighed: "The cunning rabbit is dead and the lackey cooks, it has remained unchanged since ancient times, I hope Mr. is still right this time." ”
When Liu Che returned to his camp, he went into the golden tent and didn't let anyone disturb him, leaving only Liu Jiqing to serve by his side. From day to night, seeing that it was already over, Liu Che had no intention of sleeping. Liu Jiqing reminded him a few times, but Liu Che only lightly agreed, and still sat in front of a few cases, quietly staring at the nothingness in front of him.
The night was quiet, and you could hear the insects chirping outside the tent and the sound of soldiers patrolling. It was a good day tonight, the moon was bright and the stars were shining white, and the sentries on the watchtower wrapped their clothes tightly, for the night breeze was still very cold. This time, Liu Che led the army to Sangqian, first, to see Su Ren, and second, there was an important matter, that is, to meet the envoys of Wuhuan, Xianbei, Buyeo and Goguryeo.
Tomorrow is the day of the meeting, and Liu Che originally planned to complete it in Su Ren's camp. The two armies are in one place, which can not only let those guys see the formation of the Han soldiers, but also give these soldiers who have been stationed in the border fortress all year round an encouragement. But I didn't expect things to turn out like this, and it would be a little difficult to continue to stay in Su Ren's camp.
"Why don't you say he begged for mercy? If ......" Liu Che suddenly asked Liu Jiqing.
Liu Jiqing was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly shook his head: "The old slave doesn't know." ”
"Humph! You old guy is still so cunning, he wants to go back to Chang'an, and he never wants to come out again! Liu Che seemed to be talking to himself: "Also, since he stepped into Chang'an for many years, he has spent most of his time running around, especially in the past few years, Lingnan, Western Regions, Saiwai, and Beidi have been running one after another, almost all the counties and counties of Dahan in my country, and I have a lot of negative children!" ”
"Your Majesty!"
Liu Che waved his hand: "It's really time to let him rest, Lingnan has been stable, the Western Regions is also developing for the better, the general trend of the Xiongnu has gone, and now even Wuhuan, Xianbei, Buyeo, and Goguryeo are all subservient, and the threat around my Han almost no longer exists, all of this has a great connection with Ziheng, if I let him run around again, it would be a little inappropriate, how do you say I should reward Ziheng this time?" ”
"Uh......" Liu Jiqing sighed for a long time, and smiled faintly at Liu Che.
"The more I look at you, the more unpleasant I become! When I return to Chang'an, I will kick you out! Liu Che was angry: "Ziheng is now a hussar general, and if he goes further, he will be a general, but I don't want him to continue to run, how about making him a big Sima?" ”
"Hehehe......" Liu Jiqing still smiled.
Liu Che was a little disgusted, rolled his eyes, and thought for a while: "Da Sima is too tired and inappropriate, if it weren't for Gaozu's words and not Liu Buwang, with Ziheng's merits, it would be okay to be crowned king." ”
"Your Majesty, by no means! I'm afraid I'll hurt the hussar general. Liu Jiqing finally spoke.
Liu Che smiled and shook his head: "Hey! This matter is really difficult to do, forget it, wait until you go back to Chang'an and let the prime minister worry them! Go, call Li Xi in, and I will consult with him about meeting those savages tomorrow. ”
Su Ren's back hurt very much, because there was a lot of blood stasis after the thirty spine cane, and in order to alleviate Su Ren's pain, the medical officer could only use an unconventional method, bloodletting. Although the blood stasis is cleared, the dozen or so knife cuts on the back will not be able to heal for a while. After lying on the bed for a long time, Su Ren wanted to turn over, but he couldn't stand the pain as soon as he moved.
Han Qing sat on the case in front of Su Ren, holding a pen in his hand and quietly waiting for Su Ren to speak, he discussed this matter with Su Ren for a long time, and finally Su Ren persuaded him. Seeing that the large-scale war is about to be fought, the remaining sporadic battles are led by Wei Qing, as well as Li Danghu, Gongsun Ao, Gongsun He, and Huo Quzhi, Huo Quzhi, Huo Jin, Zhao Poyu, Xie Zichang, Li Dang, these fierce generals, even if the Huns make a comeback, they may not be able to please them. So Su Ren had the idea of retiring.
"Sir, you can think about it, as long as this letter is shut, it will be difficult to regain military power!" Han Qing hesitated again and again and reminded Su Ren again.
Su Ren waved his hand: "Write, write!" I don't want to hold any more military power for a day, I just look forward to going back and taking the children to catch fish and fight crickets! ”
Han Qing smiled and shook his head: "Hey! If the ancestor had such a vision as Mr., he would not have ended up like that, so it seems that Mr. is still smart, and no one in the world can compare. ”
"Wrong! I'm called self-aware, one I don't want to rebel, two I'm actually very lazy, I don't want to take responsibility, being an official is actually not my intention, if it weren't for the teacher in Chang'an accident back then, I would never have stepped into Chang'an, as a cow and a horse for so many years, even if it is a donkey, it should rest and rest, can't help but give the horse grass, just think about the horse running, right? ”
"Hahaha......" Han Qing laughed a few times: "Although this is the case, but with my guess, Your Majesty may not agree." ”
"I'm not doing it anyway! Whether he agrees or not. ”
"I'm afraid that's not right!" Han Qing said as he wrote: "Although Your Majesty beat you today, once your performance is up, Your Majesty thinks that you are stingy, and if you don't get it right, it will become a disaster." ”
"Don't worry! Our Majesty is wise and martial, not as pretentious as you think, he will understand my heart. ”
"Hehe, I hope the gentleman is right."
Han Qing worked hard to write a book, and the resignation of the official was still difficult for Han Qing. In order to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings, Han Qingjiang's wording was very careful in the recital, trying to avoid angering the emperor again. After writing it, it was handed over to Su Ren, and Su Ren didn't even look at it and asked Huang Shisan to put it away, and when the time was right, he would submit it to Liu Che. After all this busyness, it was almost dawn, and Su Ren asked Huang Shisan to recruit all the personal soldiers, and only ordered two words, move.
