Chapter 622: The Sword Goes South 2
After making a military order, mentioning Zheng Zhilong, and holding Shang Fang's sword, Zhu Qing finally left the murderous prison of the Criminal Department and quickly returned to the Bird Cat Villa. Before going south, Zhu Qing needed to make good arrangements, after all, time was pressing, and Zheng Zhilong's body was a little unbearable. What's more, Suzaku needs to have a good chat with Killing Feng and Dongfang Wenbai and others.
For Chongzhen and Zhu Qing, the top priority is to escape the control of the Criminal Department, let Zhu Qing go south this morning, and solve the crisis in Nanjing!
"The Criminal Department has always been strictly guarded, and the people inside can't escape if they want to, how can the people outside come in so easily?" Yang Li's pursuit of the shadow guard was unsuccessful, and Chongzhen asked sharply. Although he knew that this was just an intentional arrangement between the Criminal Department and the Tian Mansion, if Chongzhen didn't react at all, it would probably make Uncle Tian Guo even more suspicious.
When Yang Li heard this, he was really shocked, and he couldn't help but glance at Uncle Tian Guo, after all, the appearance of the shadow secret guard was all arranged by Uncle Tian Guo.
Seeing this, Uncle Tian Guo had no choice but to move forward to relieve Yang Li, "Emperor Qiqi, according to the investigation of the Criminal Department, these mysterious figures seem to be people from the Dongying Society, presumably it was Qinglong who attacked the Dongying Society in Sichuan earlier, so that these fish who slipped through the net have a grudge, and today they took advantage of this accident in the Tiansha Pavilion to come to disturb the trouble." Please rest assured that the emperor will take strict precautions, and if the assassins dare to venture again, they will definitely be told that they will not return. ”
Chongzhen listened to Uncle Tian's words, and knew that this was just their excuse to quedge, but he also nodded and responded, "Well, it's rare for Uncle Guo to bother so much." I am very pleased. However, since the enemy has discovered Zheng Zhilong's secret, it is not appropriate for the Heavenly Demon Pavilion to stay for a long time......"
"The minister has made other arrangements and will move Zheng Zhilong elsewhere." Yang Li replied urgently.
At this moment, Chongzhen shook his head, "No need, I have already figured it out, the reason why Zheng Chenggong besieged Nanjing but did not attack it was just to get his father Zheng Zhilong back." If I send Zheng Zhilong back to Nanjing, it may be of great help to Nanjing's danger. ”
"Your Majesty, the father and son of the Zheng family deliberately rebelled and disrupted the dynasty, only by striking with all their strength can they kill their sharp spirit and deter the government and the opposition, if Zheng Zhilong is let go, I am afraid that there will be more rights and wrongs!" At this time, Uncle Tian Guo spared no effort to move forward.
"Yes, Your Majesty, now that Zheng Zhilong has become the target of public criticism, he is still in such a huge danger in the Criminal Department, if he is released, I am afraid it will be difficult to return to his son Zheng Zhilong......" Seeing this, Yang Li hurriedly echoed Uncle Tian Guo, and pulled out this topic from the perspective of his Criminal Department Shangshu, which seemed to be more convincing. He wanted to sing and harmonize with Uncle Tian Guo to put pressure on Chongzhen, but he was caught by Chongzhen for this sentence.
Chongzhen couldn't help nodding approvingly, "Yang Aiqing is right, now that Zheng Zhilong has become the target of public criticism, I am afraid that my life will be in danger if I let him go like this, so I have repeatedly considered it and decided to let Qinglong wear the crime and make meritorious contributions, and escort Zheng Zhilong south to negotiate with Zheng Chenggong." Now that the situation is unfavorable to the imperial court, Zheng Zhilong must not lose this move......" Chongzhen saw the stitches, and turned to Zhu Qingling, "Qinglong, do you understand my will?" ”
"Back to the emperor, the last general will obey the holy will, escort Zheng Zhilong to the south, go to the soup to fight the fire, calm the chaos in the south of the Yangtze River, if you violate the holy order, you will punish yourself to apologize!" In order to cooperate with Chongzhen's double reed play, Zhu Qing also dared to boast about Haikou in public, and cut himself if he was uneven. This seems to have made Uncle Tian Guo, who has another attitude towards Chongzhen, shift his attention to Zhu Qing again.
Although Zhu Qing has the weight of Zheng Zhilong, the complexity of the situation in Jiangnan cannot be solved overnight, and if it is not done well, it will fall into a catastrophe. And what Uncle Tian Guo is thinking about at the moment is how to make Zhu Qing "not good"!
Sure enough, Uncle Tian Guo suddenly sneered and said to Zhu Qing, "The emperor is the Son of Heaven, the king has no jokes, Qinglong is a victorious general, you must know that there is no joke in the army, and now the situation in Jiangnan is critical, if the general does not give the emperor a deadline, it will make the emperor work for a long time, I am afraid it will be inappropriate." Since the general is so confident, why not make a military order in front of the emperor and complete the Jiangnan rebellion within a few days, and the emperor and the ministers have something to look forward to. Your Majesty, what do you think? At the end, Uncle Tian Guo suddenly turned to Chongzhen and complimented.
Uncle Tian Guo is really not simple, Chongzhen thought that he had taken advantage of Yang Li's loophole to ensure that Zhu Qing was released from prison, but he didn't expect Uncle Tian Guo to also see the needle and take advantage of Zhu Qing's loophole step by step.
After Chongzhen heard this, he couldn't help but glance at Zhu Qing, obviously, Uncle Tian Guo wanted Zhu Qing to make a military order in front of Chongzhen, this is not a joke, although Chongzhen believes that Zhu Qing has the ability to calm down the affairs of Nanjing, but if it is necessary to limit the time, it is difficult to say. Chongzhen couldn't grasp it, so he asked Zhu Qing, "Qinglong, what Uncle Tian Guo said is not unreasonable, how long do you think it will take to quell the rebellion?" ”
Zhu Qing said respectfully to Chongzhen, "Back to the emperor, since this is proposed by Uncle Guo, why don't you ask him when he hopes the end will be completed?" Zhu Qing threw the question back to Uncle Tian Guo, but the gesture of throwing the question was really arrogant, but this arrogant Chongzhen liked it, but Uncle Tian Guo was a little caught off guard.
When everyone looked at Uncle Tian Guo, he responded a little unnaturally, "The general is so brave and powerful, it is limited to three days, how about it?" ”
"Uncle Guo, is this a joke? According to the normal itinerary, it will take more than three days from the capital to Nanjing, and this person has not yet arrived, how to calm the chaos? After Chongzhen heard this, he was angry and angry, this Uncle Tian Guo is too unreasonable, this is Sima Zhao's heart, everyone knows it! Chongzhen really couldn't stand it. But after asking such a sentence angrily, Uncle Tian Guo did not respond, but only bowed his hand slightly to Chongzhen, as if he was making a silent challenge.
It's no wonder that Uncle Tian Guo is so wanton, who called Zhu Qing so arrogant? Seeing that Uncle Tian Guo didn't speak, Chongzhen glanced at Zhu Qing quite embarrassed, and he was also a little speechless with anger. That demeanor and eyes seemed to be reprimanding Zhu Qing: The Haikou you boasted of, I see how you deal with it this time?!
Chongzhen was so angry that he couldn't speak, but Zhu Qing seemed indifferent, and he actually smiled slightly, "It's okay." According to the time limit set by Uncle Guo, if the general fails to quell the Nanjing Rebellion after three days, he will voluntarily deal with it in accordance with military law! ”
"You ......" After Chongzhen heard this, he couldn't help but be surprised, why is this person so ignorant of life and death? If Zhu Qing fights again, Chongzhen will naturally fight for him for more time, but now in Chongzhen's opinion, Zhu Qing seems to be forced by Uncle Tian Guo and shouldered with Uncle Tian Guo.
Before even Chongzhen could speak, Uncle Tian Guo laughed loudly, "Okay! That's what you said! Someone! Pen and ink waiting, General Qinglong wants to make a military order in front of the saint! Uncle Tian Guo said, and couldn't help but snort softly at Yang Li beside him.
Yang Li immediately turned around and waved his hand, the master recruited someone to bring the four treasures of the study, and the master wrote the military order according to the intention of Uncle Tian Guo and Zhu Qing, and at the end, Uncle Tian Guo sneered at Zhu Qing and said, "General, please!" ”
Zhu Qing was not ambiguous, chuckled at Uncle Tian Guo, signed and signed forward, and stamped the big seal, and this almost impossible military order was written. The master rolled it up and handed it to Yang Li, Yang Li handed it to the eunuch Wang Chengen, Wang Chengen forwarded it to Chongzhen, Chongzhen opened it and took a look, just as the two sides discussed, there was no objection, but he was still quite unhappy about Zhu Qing's rashness, and glared at Zhu Qing, "You have no jokes, and there is no joke in the army, if you can't complete this task by then, don't blame me for not being emotional." Do you understand?! ”
"The last general understands, the last general is grateful, thank you to the emperor and all the adults for giving the last general this opportunity to make meritorious contributions." Zhu Qing lightly returned the salute with a fist to Chongzhen, so angry that Chongzhen wanted to slap Zhu Qing so that he would sober up.
"Then we will wait for the general's good news in the capital." Uncle Tian Guo smiled proudly, he seemed to be proud of the trap he had set, obviously, this was almost an impossible task, he seemed to see Zhu Qing devastated three days later.
"It's easy to say, it's easy to say." Zhu Qing took a few steps towards Uncle Tian Guo at this time, stared at his eyes and smiled slightly, "With the Shang Fang Sword given by the emperor, Qinglong is a person who blocks killing, and a ghost blocks and kills ghosts!" No ghost will stop me from going south! ”
Zhu Qing's words were indeed full of confidence, and it wasn't until he lifted the Shang Fang Sword in his hand that Chongzhen believed that what Zhu Qing said before was not a big word, a green dragon with a sword was terrifying, not to mention that he was holding a Shang Fang Sword in his hand!
Uncle Tian Guo and the others couldn't help but be shocked when they heard this, he couldn't face Zhu Qing's powerful aura, so he had to laugh and say, "Of course, of course, the general is on official business, who dares to stop him?" I wish the general all the best. ”
"Thank you......" Zhu Qing responded, "By the way, the three days mentioned in the military order are not half of today's surprise, right?" Zhu Qing shook the sword in his hand and asked.
Uncle Tian Guo didn't care about Chongzhen's face, and he didn't dare to force people too much, after all, it would not be good for them to force Zhu Qing to be anxious, just like today, if Zhu Qing was not forced to be urgent, there would be no such a scene at all, and Zheng Zhilong and Zhu Qing had no chance to escape from the prison of the Criminal Department.
"Of course not, why not give the general half a day?" Uncle Tian Guo smiled slyly, no matter whether it is today or not, in his opinion, three days on the military order is enough to kill Zhu Qing!
"Thank you!" Zhu Qing hugged his fists in response, and then said to Yang Lizheng, "Dare to ask my lord, can I mention Zheng Zhilong now?" ”
After Yang Li heard this, he couldn't help but glance at Uncle Tian Guo, who drank too much unhappily on his face, "What does Lord Yang think of me?" This is the Criminal Department, so naturally it is the adults who have the final say. Of course, the emperor is here, and you have to ask him for instructions. ”
Uncle Tian Guo is perverse, he is the master of the whole thing, but in the end, he is completely gone.
After hearing this, Yang Li had no choice but to clench his fists at Chongzhen and ask for instructions, Chongzhen glanced at Zhu Qing and nodded, "Quasi-play!" ”
"Come on, mention Zheng Zhilong to General Qinglong!" Yang Li shouted, and the little cell head went to bring Zheng Zhilong over.
"Thank you, then Qinglong will leave?" When Zhu Qing saw Zheng Zhilong, he smiled slightly at Uncle Tian Guo and the others.
Although they had already tried every means to get rid of it, when they saw that Zhu Qing was going to take Zheng Zhilong away, Uncle Tian Guo and the others were still quite unwilling, but now that it was too late, it was not easy to say anything, they just gasped, turned their heads sideways with an unhappy face, and did not answer.
