Chapter 389: Choosing a Commander
readx;
Under the torture of Baihu, Liu Gonggong, the herald, confessed to the false transmission of the holy decree, and admitted that he had received two holy decrees before departure, one was given by Wang Chengen, the chief eunuch, and the other was given by Wen Tiren, the first assistant of the cabinet. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info Two decrees, one true and one false. And the holy decree that Gonggong Liu read out on the school field that day was given by Wen Tiren, and it was a fake holy decree! So where is the purpose of the true saints? And how to prove it?
"Speak quickly!" Seeing that Gonggong Liu was secretive, the white tiger shouted angrily again.
Gonggong Liu had no choice but to tremble and say, "Yes, the true holy decree is in our box." Father-in-law Liu pointed to a wooden box at the head of the bed.
"Go, bring the decree!" The white tiger gestured.
Gonggong Liu nodded again and again, walked over curtly, took the box, and opened it.
When the white tiger saw it, there was only one holy decree in this box, and nothing else. He sneered, "I should be your personal treasure, it turns out that such a good box is used to hold the holy decree." ā
"The holy decree is the emperor's thing, seeing the holy decree is like seeing the emperor, how dare our family defile the holy decree?" Liu Gonggong explained.
This sentence came out of Gonggong Liu's mouth, and it was a joke.
"Hmph, it's better to say than to sing, since you know that this is an imperial thing, you still dare to fake the holy decree?" The white tiger shouted.
Father-in-law Liu hurriedly begged for mercy, "Isn't our family a ghost for a while?" ā
The white tiger took out the holy decree and looked at it, but he didn't see any difference from the fake holy decree, except for the number of rewards, the other parts were exactly the same as the real ones.
"If it weren't for the wrong number, I wouldn't really be able to see it. Say, "How hast thou forged the decree?" It is also difficult for Baihu to distinguish the authenticity of the appreciation, but he doesn't feel ashamed at all when he asks about Liu Gonggong, and he will be embarrassed if he can't ask, because Zhu Qing asked him to handle this matter well, if it is not done well, it will not only affect the reputation of Baihumen, but also delay Jinyiwei's plans in the future.
But this time Gonggong Liu was very hesitant and even more worried, he didn't answer for a long time, just shook his head tremblingly.
"If you don't say it, no one can save you, tell me honestly, General Qinglong may be able to intercede for you." The white tiger seemed to see Gonggong Liu's thoughts. Gonggong Liu understands very well that the matter has come to this point, and it is a capital crime to falsely pass on the holy decree, but Wen Tiren promised him that even if he dies, he will take these secrets to the grave, and only in this way will his bereavement be sent to his township. In fact, the reason why Gonggong Liu has such words and deeds is just influenced by one of his predecessors, that is, Wei Zhongxian, who is full of evil, Wei Zhongxian is a bully of the government and the opposition, only loves neighbors, decorates the small county town in his hometown with the same style as the imperial city, and also arranges the city defense like an iron wall, if nothing else, just to have a long face in front of the villagers! Let those who once despised him see that he is better off than anyone else! This is a kind of inferiority complex in the depths of the heart, the more inferior the more you want to cover it up, which cannot but be said to be the distorted psychology of most eunuchs.
Although Gonggong Liu will not have the strength of Wei Zhongxian, his thoughts are still worthy of recognition. The reason why he promised Wen Tiren and blocked his future and fate was to be able to glorify his ancestors in front of the villagers.
Baihu's words made Gonggong Liu think again, can Wen Tiren believe it? He went through the Zhou Yanru incident, and of course he also knew the final fate of Zhou Yanru's slave Ge Dongsheng. If there is anyone in the court who can save Gonggong Liu, there should only be Jinyiwei.
"Well, I'll tell you all. In fact, apart from the numerical variation of the true and false decrees, the only place to distinguish between the true and false decrees is the Great Seal. Obviously, Gonggong Liu has completely compromised, if he doesn't say it now, even if Jinyiwei doesn't clean him up, I'm afraid Wen Tiren won't let him return to the capital alive, he can only choose to cooperate with Jinyiwei.
"The Great Seal?" The white tiger exclaimed. In his opinion, there is no difference.
Unexpectedly, Gonggong Liu spread out the true holy decree, pointed to the red seal on the holy decree and said, "You see, the ink mud of this seal is very uniform, because the old seal has been fully absorbed and evenly distributed for a long time, and the ink mark on the holy decree given to Huzi before is extremely bright red, which is the reason why the new seal has just used ink." Moreover, the material of this seal is also very different, one is a high-quality jade, and the other is an ordinary jade carved temporarily. When Gonggong Liu said this, he suddenly stopped.
Bai Hu was fascinated by what he heard just now, and when Gonggong Liu said the end, he was also shocked, "You mean, they made a fake jade seal privately?!" ā
White Tiger's question, everyone present was surprised, this is the capital crime of the Nine Clans.
Gonggong Liu didn't dare to speak, so he could only nod cautiously.
When Baihu saw it, he felt that this situation was even more serious than he imagined, he thought that Wen Tiren and his ilk were just dominating the court, but he didn't expect Wen Tiren to have the heart to steal the sky. Baihu felt that he had to tell Zhu Qing the news immediately.
"Okay, a few of you are guarding your father-in-law outside the tent, don't take it lightly." Bai Hu said to the two brocade guards beside him, and then turned to Gonggong Liu, "I believe that my father-in-law now knows what to do, what not to do, what to say and what not to say. ā
Gonggong Liu hurriedly nodded again and again, "I understand, we understand." ā
The white tiger collected the decree and took it out of the tent.
"General?" Gonggong Liu saw the white tiger take away the holy decree and said nervously.
"Don't worry, I'm just explaining the situation to General Qinglong, and when the general has instructions, I will return the holy decree to my father-in-law." So saying, he covered the decree with his cloak and went out of the tent door.
When the White Tiger took the holy decree to Zhu Qing and explained the situation to Zhu Qing, Zhu Qing didn't seem too surprised, but he attached great importance to it. He read the holy decree and made sure that it was the true holy decree, so he rolled it up again and handed it to the white tiger.
"I have to bother you to make a trip and return the holy decree to Gonggong Liu, we still need him to come forward tomorrow." Zhu Qing said to the white tiger.
"How is he going to show up?" White Tiger asked.
Zhu Qing beckoned, the white tiger came over with his ear, Zhu Qing commanded in his ear, and the white tiger nodded while listening.
"And tell him that if you want to keep his life, you must first leave a holy decree." Zhu Qing finally said to the white tiger. Baihu nodded, then took the order and rushed to Gonggong Liu's camp again.
The reason why Zhu Qing said that sentence was because he was worried that Gonggong Liu would not be able to think about it, and the dog jumped over the wall in a hurry and ruined the holy decree. Then Zhu Qing lost a hand.
It's also fake, but Sai Shiqian's technique is obviously much more attentive than Wen Tiren's craftsmen. After Sun Kan got the fake talisman stolen from Shen Hui's account by two of his subordinates, he didn't see the authenticity at all, and he was very excited, and praised his two subordinates for their ability to do things. For this reason, the soldiers also opened the altar and drank a few bowls before falling asleep with the fake soldier talisman.
At dawn, the horn of the camp was blown early, but today there was no exercise, and there was no training, but a meeting was held to serve as a commander. Even so, many people still feel that today's Ren Shuai Conference will not be calm. Although the other generals of the Great Western Army did not move, they were all waiting to see what happened, as long as Sun Kan made a big wave, these people would definitely rise up and divide the big pie of the Great Western Army.
Shen Hui already knew how powerful Sun Kan was last night, so he got up early in the morning to prepare, and kept asking Xian Xing to talk to Zhu Qing. Zhu Qing only told him one thing, if he can do it by himself, he will try his best to carry it, if he can't do it, there will naturally be Jinyiwei, after all, Jinyiwei is still an outsider, and he will not interfere in the family affairs of the army. But Zhu Qing believed that the matter of breaking into the army soon was the matter of Jinyiwei.
With Zhu Qing's words, Shen Hui felt more confident in his heart. He just hoped that today would pass early, and then he could ask for this day of fear. As long as he can complete the appointment today, even if there are two-hearted people in the camp, he will be a little afraid of the new master.
After the rain, the sky is clear, and the school field that has just rained is dull and hot under the light of the early sun, just like the whole restless camp.
The drumbeat of the "dong dong dong" school field has changed from sparse to dense, from slow to urgent. Announce that the conference is about to begin.
Jin Yiwei, Huzi, Sun Kan, Liu Gonggong and other parties arrived one after another.
On the wide school field, a big red carpet extends from the entrance of the school field to the school field point. And Dianjiangtai is today's Shuaitai, and Shen Hui has to accept military talismans, handsome seals and titles on this platform. The people who confer the title are generally famous people in the army, and now that they have been recruited, they are the people of the imperial court who confer the title, needless to say, Liu Gonggong is the person who conferred the title on behalf of the imperial court! This is acquiesced and agreed by many parties, so last night Liu Gonggong was invited by Huzi and Sun Kan, and then he was invited by Jinyiwei. When I went to school today, I looked depressed, thinking that I experienced the two heavens of ice and fire last night.
On both sides of the red carpet leading to Shuaitai, there are two groups of people, and on the left is the Jinyi guard team led by Liu Gonggong and Zhu Qing, after all, they are people from the imperial court and should be guests. On the right is the Huzi and several deputy generals of the Chuang Army, and next to the Chuang General is the general of the Great Western Army, Sun Kan is sitting next to the Huzi, presumably it was also arranged in advance, so there is a response.
A gong sounded, announcing the beginning of the Ren Shuai Conference. The million-strong army suddenly fell silent, they all wanted to see what was going to happen today and how it would end!
Before the gong sounded, a person walked out of the handsome stage, and it was Xian Xing. Xian Xing was Zhang Xianzhong's youngest personal guard, and he was also Zhang Xianzhong's herald, and everything in the Great Western Army was announced by the personal guard on weekdays, and now Zhang Xianzhong's personal guard is only Xian Xing and Shen Hui, Shen Hui is going to be the commander today, so naturally he can't preside over the meeting, so the conference will be presided over by Xian Xing.
"Your Excellency, your generals, your soldiers, since ancient times, there have been many heroes in Shaanxi, and Daxi has come to dominate! King Onishi led the Great Western Army to fight in just a few years, from the initial thousand people to today's million army, the army is majestic, powerful and powerful in the north and south. However, just when the Great Western Army was soaring into the sky and returning to its orthodox name, the King of Great West unfortunately passed away, and the general died in a hundred battles, crying out in grief? Sad! Strong? Great! The general walked tragically, and the army owes me an explanation to the Great Western Army! ......" Xian Xing's excited opening suddenly came to an abrupt end.
So there was a commotion in the Great Western Army, and I don't know who shouted first, "The army owes the Great Western Army an explanation!" Immediately the Great Western Army gradually became prestigious, although the army was million, but at this time it was the time when the Great Western Army was in full swing, hearing the hundreds of thousands of people on the opposite side of the condemnation, the army couldn't help but get nervous, Huzi couldn't stand this kind of condemnation, but today he was calm, seeing that the Great Western Army was so turbulent, Huzi looked at Sun Kan beside him, and smiled slightly, "General Sun, are you just inciting the military heart by this little hairy child?" ā
As soon as Sun Kan heard this, he stood up, pointed at Sun Kan in the Great Western Army and shouted, "What are you yelling about?" Don't let General Xian speak?! This Sun Kan is not stupid, of course he can't talk about Xian Xing directly, he can't expose his intentions prematurely, his shout makes people think that he is helping Xian Xing speak.
Sure enough, as soon as Sun Kan shouted, one-third of the soldiers of the Great Western Army gradually quieted down, although most of the soldiers were still shouting, but this was enough to see Sun Kan's absolute power in the Great Western Army.
Jin Yiwei has seen too many such babbling scenes, so naturally he won't take it to heart, Zhu Qing took a sip of tea, glanced at the handsome platform, and nodded to Xian Xing. Xian Xingcai raised his hands and shouted, "Quiet! Ladies and gentlemen, please be quiet! The soldiers of the Great Western Army gradually quieted down.
Then Xian Xing cleared his throat and continued, "Brothers. The army owes the Great Western Army an explanation, but it is a grudge between the king of Chuang and the king of the west, and I believe that after the king of Chuang comes back, he will give us all an explanation! Now is not the time for me to pursue this matter, and we can't. The Chuang Army and the Great Western Army are brothers who break bones and connect tendons, and I believe there must be some misunderstanding in this. Even when King Onishi was dying, he never mentioned the word revenge, so we waited for King Chuang to come back and give us an explanation! ā
"That's right! The dead brothers of the king of the great west are very sad, but people cannot be resurrected after death, we have to continue to look forward, the king of the great west said, we want to continue to carry the banner of the great western army, and revitalize the prestige of the great western army. At this time, Sun Kan suddenly stood up and shouted, this is a brainwashing and a hint.
"General Sun is right, the king of Onishi has died, and the millions of troops of Onishi cannot be left without a commander for a day. Today, all the brothers are gathered here to testify to the new handsome. Next, let's invite Liu Gonggong, a member of the imperial court, to come to the stage to announce the new commander and confer the title. Xian Xing sensed what Sun Kan meant, but he also followed Sun Kan's words very happily, anyway, he wanted to be the commander.
"Good!" The army shouted.
Gonggong Liu cautiously walked to the stage under the call of this million army, if it was yesterday, he could have been arrogant and free from the people below, without fear. But now, Liu Gonggong has too many concerns in his heart. He looked under the stands, and Huzi and Sun Kan were smiling at him. Looking at Jinyiwei's side again, Zhu Qing only cared about drinking tea and didn't look at him, and the white tiger and Xuanwu and others around him had no obvious expressions.
The unknown is the most terrifying, just a glance, Liu Gonggong knows what to say. He took a deep breath, suppressed the shock, and then cleared his throat before taking out a folded document and shouting loudly, "According to the will of the king of Daxi and the approval of the generals, I declare the new king of Daxi to be the ......" Gonggong Liu said this, and then stopped slightly.
There was silence in the audience, and everyone quieted down to hear this person's name. Huzi and Sun Kan looked at Gonggong Liu with expectant eyes, Sun Kan clenched his fists even more nervously, and his other hand had already touched his waist, clutching the talisman.
Shen Hui on the other side was also nervous, although Zhang Xianzhong chose him, but after this night, he couldn't figure it out himself, he just begged not to make a big mess.
Zhu Qing finally stopped drinking tea at this moment, he put the cup down, and put the lid on the cup, and the small lid on the teacup could make a harsh sound, and Gonggong Liu couldn't help but look over. Zhu Qing just stared at his eyes quietly, and he didn't have any expression.
When Gonggong Liu saw it, he couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva in fright, and then shouted, "The new King of Daxi is, Shen Hui, General Shen!" ā
Before Gonggong Liu's words fell, there was a commotion in the audience, and most of the Daxi army shouted and shouted to congratulate their new king, while Sun Kan's soldiers were a little indignant.
"Looks like things are going well." After the results were announced, one of the generals of the Great Western Army said to the other generals.
Another general of the Great Western Army stared at Sun Kan tightly, and said with a smile on the corner of his mouth, "It's still too early, I advise you to hold the sword in your hand tightly and be ready to act at any time." Sure enough, there are still people who are ready to move.
With a "bang", a cup was shattered, Sun Kan got up and pointed at Gonggong Liu angrily, "Dog official, you dare to fake the last words of King Daxi!" ā
Liu Gonggong's performance was also greatly unexpected by Huzi, he said it well last night, why did it suddenly change? With his character, he naturally couldn't sit still, so he stood up with a gun and questioned Gonggong Liu, "Father-in-law, is it a mistake?" I heard that the candidate for King Onishi is General Sun Kansun! ā
Sun Kan and Huzi stood up, and Shen Hui's worst fear happened. He could only glance at Zhu Qing, which he couldn't control, Sun Kan and Huzi had a million people combined, and there were only hundreds of thousands of people who supported him, and he had never seen such a scene of fighting for power and profit.
But Zhu Qing shook his head at him and motioned for him to make a statement first! At the critical moment, even if the skills are not as good as others, it is necessary to show the sword, otherwise Shen Hui will lose even the hundreds of thousands of Western troops.
Shen Hui knew Zhu Qing's intentions, and he was a little apprehensive in his heart, so he also stubbornly took the case and pointed at Sun Kan, "Sun Kan! You're talking nonsense! Last night, King Daxi clearly chose me as the commander, and all the generals have heard it, you dare to doubt King Daxi and Gonggong Liu, what crime should you be guilty of?! ā
Other generals never thought that Shen Hui, who had always been loyal and indisputable, would dare to confront Sun Kan on the spot, and couldn't help but admire a little, to be honest, if they didn't want to get a piece of the pie, these people would prefer to be under Shen Hui's account.
"Humph! Yellow-haired child, you are rampant, how did the king of Daxi hand over this million army to you, this kid? Sun Kan is also immortal in the heart of the Yellow River, and from the moment he dropped the cup, there was no turning back.
"Shen Hui, for your own selfishness, you actually disregard the last wish of the King of Daxi and the future of the millions of soldiers of the Daxi Army, what are your intentions?" Huzi also rushed to help Sun Kan speak!
"General Huzi! You are too lenient, you have eaten the reward of the Great Western Army, not to mention, not only did you kill the king of the Great Western Army, but now you are hindering the new commander of the Great Western Army from taking office, so what are your intentions? Seeing that Shen Hui was repeatedly attacked by Sun Kan and Huzi, Zhu Qing finally couldn't sit still, he stood up and said to Huzi unhurriedly.
Huzi didn't expect Jinyiwei to stand on the side of the Great Western Army, and he was suddenly shocked.
"You...... Qinglong, what nonsense are you talking about? When did I eat the reward of the Great Western Army?! Huzi exclaimed.
"Father-in-law Liu, please take out the true holy decree and recite it to the soldiers!" Zhu Qing said and said to Gonggong Liu on the stage.
Gonggong Liu was still hesitating.
"Father-in-law Liu?" The white tiger reminded in a deep voice.
Gonggong Liu just nodded in shock, took out the true holy decree from his sleeve, and read it aloud!
After reading it, the audience was shocked.
"Nonsense, you are a false holy decree, Lao Tzu here is a true holy decree!" Huzi panicked.
"Really? Then can you take it out and take a look, the big seal is still there? Zhu Qing sneered.
Huzi took it out and looked at it, his face was shocked, the big seal was gone, and it was a blur!
During the game, he smiled faintly beside him.
"Fake! The decree is false! Someone in the crowd suddenly shouted.
