Chapter 41: Recruitment

After the court meeting, Zhao Jinyu rushed back to Wenxiang Pavilion as soon as possible and announced the good news to Su Heng. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

It's just that after Zhao Jinyu told the cause and effect, he didn't see any smile on the face of this young gentleman who was the same age as him, but had an experienced heart.

"With such a beautiful difference, why didn't anyone stand up for the princes?" Su Heng muttered to himself, as if he was asking Zhao Jinyu.

Zhao Jinyu also restrained the smile on his face: "Sir, I know that something is wrong, but this is also an opportunity for us, I hope Mr. will not blame me for being too impulsive." After Zhao Jinyu finished speaking, he secretly glanced at Su Heng's face, worried that he would blame himself for taking this errand on his own initiative.

Su Heng is good at observing words and feelings, and naturally noticed Zhao Jinyu's small movements, a little funny: "Your Highness is the lord, I am a minister, Your Highness can have your own opinions, it is naturally too late to be happy, how dare you blame Your Highness for being impulsive, the only pity is that we don't have our own intelligence sources, and any news will be known later than other princes." ”

Zhao Jinyu, who knew that he was not enough, also nodded, but smiled casually: "I believe that with the assistance of Mr., everything will be fine." ”

Seeing Zhao Jinyu's blind confidence in himself, Su Heng didn't answer, but said after thinking for a long time: "Your Highness, you have just been adopted as an adopted son by the queen, and you are not suitable to travel at this time, you should stay in the palace and abide by filial piety, and as a prince, it is not a good thing to stay away from the capital for too long, after a long time, it will make Your Majesty and the ministers of the court and the central government forget, so I will replace Your Highness in this crackdown on bandits." ”

Zhao Jinyu also felt that it made sense after hearing this, he was developing his own power in the capital recently, if he left rashly at this time, after a long time, he was afraid that what he had done before would fall short, but he thought of the fact that he had promised to go to suppress the bandits in the court, and he couldn't help but pull down his face: "Having said that, but sir, I have promised my father and the emperor to go to suppress the bandits, and so many ministers in the court are watching, I am afraid that it will cause people to laugh at this time." ”

Compared with Zhao Jinyu's embarrassment, Su Heng was much calmer: "Your Highness, who is not a black-bellied and shameless person, if you can't give up this bit of face, how can you become a hegemon?" His Royal Highness only needs to announce to the public tomorrow that he is infected with the wind and cold and cannot travel, and it is enough to let him work on his behalf. ”

Su Heng paused and continued: "After leaving Beijing, in a few days, His Royal Highness will go to the palace to see the queen every day 'with illness', and he will say that etiquette cannot be abolished, filial piety must not be abandoned, and he will definitely be praised by the ministers of the court." ”

Zhao Jinyu was silent for a moment and then nodded vigorously: "Okay, then it will be troublesome for Mr." ”

……

The next day, Su Heng came to the South Gate, and yesterday he had people paste a recruitment notice in the area of the South Gate.

The martial arts style prevailed at the South Gate, and as soon as the notice was posted, countless people immediately came to sign up, and the 20,000 places were very few in the South Gate, which has a population of 5 million.

The most critical point is that the posting of the notice was carried out in the name of the Situ family, the Situ family was deeply rooted in the south gate, and everyone was in awe, even Zao Wou-ki, for the stability of the south gate, had to woo and appease it, relying on snorts.

Of course, although the Situ family recruited troops in the name of the Situ family, there were still many troublemakers, and several princes in the court didn't want to see Zhao Jinyu recruit troops so easily, and on the way to recruit troops, there were no less than 100 people who deliberately made trouble.

For this troublemaker, Su Heng's method was very simple, he directly borrowed private soldiers from the Situ family, and then Qin Yongzhi led the way, killing them all, and he didn't even hand them over to Dali Temple to deal with.

Thinking of the scene when Su Heng's face remained unchanged yesterday and ordered the heads of hundreds of people to be cut off, Qin Yongzhi still has lingering palpitations, after all, this is not on the battlefield, those hundreds of people are all the people of Dachu, although they are all some ruffians, but they can be killed like this, without going through the filing of the Criminal Department and Dali Temple, they will make claims, is it impulsive?

Qin Yongzhi glanced at Su Heng, who was sitting on the side, a little worried.

At the same time, trouble came.

Several Dali Temple officials walked through the crowd with a serious face, and the leader was a young official, who looked very immature, but looking at several Dali Temple officials and several officials who surrounded him in the middle, he knew that this person was not small.

"You are Su Heng?"

The leading official walked in front of Su Heng with a look of arrogance.

Su Heng raised his head, glanced at the officials of Dali Temple who were not good, and then lowered his head again, his face was calm and relaxed, and he didn't seem to take a few people in his eyes.

"Bold, this is Lord Liu Cheng, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, why don't you get up and salute when you see Lord Liu!"

In Dachu, except for the concubines of the current saint or harem, there are also some princes, and there is no need to bow to other officials.

It was only after a long time that some low-ranking officials saluted when they saw high-ranking officials in order to tie up with their superiors, or they only saluted when they saw some respected old-timers who were in courtesy.

Now that the official of Dali Temple is young, and his grade is not high, but he looks arrogant, Su Heng naturally ignored it, and just responded lightly: "This lord, please tell me, which rule in Dachu that you must salute when you see an official?" ”

When Su Heng asked like this, the official was immediately speechless, but after a long time, everyone saw that high-grade officials would salute, and he habitually felt that he had to salute, but now that he thinks about it carefully, it seems that there is really no such regulation.

Thinking about it, the official's eyes rolled, and he still threatened: "Liu Cheng and Lord Liu's father are Liu Yong, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry. ”

A simple sentence that ordinary people would definitely be terrified when they heard it, and then hurriedly got up and saluted, but Su Heng thought of more, Liu Yong, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, his own sister is Liu Guifei of the harem, Zhao Yue's biological mother, and now she is also deeply favored.

It turned out to be Zhao Yue's person again......

Seeing Liu Yong's name, Su Heng was still bowing his head and pondering, with no intention of getting up, Liu Cheng, who was not yet calm and sophisticated, directly changed his face, and personally opened his mouth and scolded: "Su Heng, this official asks you, why did you kill those unarmed poor people at will in public, instead of going to Dali Temple for the record?" ”

What Liu Cheng said was reasonable and well-founded, and in order to play a deterrent role, Su Heng specially cut off hundreds of heads in public, which was obvious to everyone, and he couldn't rely on it if he wanted to.

Su Heng naturally didn't have the right to kill people casually, but he wasn't afraid, but asked rhetorically: "Lord Liu doesn't seem to have figured out the origin of these people, they are just some ruffians, killing them is also a good thing, and they deliberately obstruct the recruitment of soldiers, which is a big crime of killing." ”

Liu Cheng's face changed again, and it was precisely with this in mind, otherwise he would have ordered the arrest of Su Heng a long time ago, every time it comes to recruitment, those rules and regulations of the criminal law will look pale and weak, since ancient times, there are not a few people who kill people because of recruitment, and the superiors also have a tacit attitude towards this, but they don't admit it directly.

"Then these people should also be handed over to Dali Temple or the Criminal Department to deal with, you are not qualified to use the punishment for yourself, you are committing a big crime." Liu Cheng was ordered by Zhao Yue, so naturally he would not let Su Heng go so easily, and he still bit the criminal law.

Su Heng raised his head and squinted at the immature face of the official, who entered the Dali Temple by nepotism, and mocked: "If this lord has any dissatisfaction with me, you can directly report it to Your Majesty, this recruitment is on the orders of Your Majesty, and you must recruit 20,000 people within three days, so please go back if Your Excellency is fine." ”

“……”

Liu Cheng was speechless for a while, and he didn't know how to deal with it next, so he gritted his teeth, looked at Su Heng viciously, and turned to leave.

Looking at the back of the people leaving in Dali Temple, Su Heng sighed a little tiredly, and then Qin Yongzhi, who was beside him without saying a word, heard the young gentleman sigh there: "Danyang County is seriously troubled, countless poor people die under the robbers' knives every day, and the situation is serious, but these princes obstruct the recruitment of soldiers everywhere in order to compete for power and profit, and treat human life like a dog.

Those in power, intrigues, and shameless means are indispensable, but in the face of justice, all these should be abandoned.
