Chapter 263: Why Kneel?
On September 11, the third year of Chongzhen, on this day, the soldiers and civilians of the Beijing division were boiling, and many people gathered in Xishi early. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Because they heard that the thief leader Prince Shun, who made waves in Taiyuan Mansion and other places, was actually exterminated by the imperial court, and the head will be hung in the West Market for three days from today to raise the prestige of our Ming Dynasty.
One by one, the heads of the thieves who were made in Ulzhou were transported to Xishi, accompanied by the soldiers of the Beijing camp, they were wearing gorgeous Beijing camp armor, although it was just a flower shelf, but from the performance point of view, these carefully selected young people in the Beijing camp can also be called heroic.
The first person, riding a high-headed horse, is Fu Yingkui, the commander of the Beijing camp, and in last year's defense of the Beijing Division, he was counted as one of the few generals who dared to fight in the Beijing Division.
If it weren't for Fu Yingkui to scatter all his wealth to defend the city, I am afraid that the urn city would be lost in a short time, and then the credit would turn into negligence, and there would be no Xiao Yi and Lu Xiangsheng now.
Fu Yingkui was not wearing the gorgeous Beijing camp armor, but the old iron armor inherited from the family, which looked a little out of place with the row of brocade clothes behind him.
Along the way, the onlookers were already standing on both sides, pointing to these carriages and talking about them.
Due to the excessive number of heads, they could not be completely suspended, so they only singled out Wang Zishun and some of his henchmen, and hung their heads in the West City, Chongzhen hoped that this could show that the Ming Dynasty would not tolerate the thieves, and deter such small children.
The heads of Wang Zishun and Dong Kui were hung in the most conspicuous place, and the rest were more than a dozen heads of those old thieves, and the expressions on the heads of Blood Linlin were full of horror, as if telling people about the thrill of that night.
Wang Zishun died, and a few months ago, he was still very powerful, and Wang Zishun, who was once known as the 'King of Heaven', was killed by the unknown Xiao Yi at the most glorious time of his life.
This also made Xiao Yi and his Yong'an Army initially enter the eyes of the military and civilians of the Beijing Division, and many people were talking about the newly appointed Ulzhou garrison, as well as the Yong'an Army under him.
They all have a lot of questions in their hearts, the most of which are: Who is this Xiao Yi?
And Xiao Yi was standing in front of the main gate of the Yamen of the Ministry of War at this time, and on his side were Liu Sheng and Shi Lu, and the three of them were frowning and looking at these people in front of the Yamen.
For example, Chongzhen set up a garrison in Ulzhou in the third year, and the garrison of Ulzhou started by himself, but Xiao is also familiar with history, normally speaking, Ulzhou does not have a town guard, which is also something that has changed by his arrival.
Now that he finally has the ability to change some things, it's not like last year, he can only sigh in vain when he sees something, but he can't change anything, he looked at a few golden characters on the plaque of the yamen, and his heart was full of pride and ambition.
Soon he was about to walk into the yamen, but unexpectedly, he was stopped by a person who looked like an official and a few strong men, Liu Sheng also grew a lot at this time, if it was last year, he would definitely have to fight with them.
But now Liu Sheng only frowned slightly, clenched the long knife at his waist, and stopped moving.
The official originally wanted to check Xiao Yi's military status, but when he looked at it, he still frowned and didn't give way, and he saw Xiao Yi with a nonchalant eye.
Xiao Yi suddenly realized, sneered in his heart, but still ordered Liu Sheng, Liu Sheng let go of the long knife in his hand, reluctantly took out a few taels of silver, and handed it to the official.
This person immediately looked happy, returned the general's nationality to Xiao Yi, and left with a spring breeze on his face, but he left, and a few men behind him still followed Xiao Yi.
Xiao also knew what they thought, but he didn't have so much leisure and money to fight with them.
Turning around, a cold gaze passed, Shi Lu and Liu Tong turned their heads to look at Sen Ran, and the leader of the few people saw that the three people in front of him suddenly seemed to have a different appearance, and there was a breath of death in his eyes.
Could it be the border army from the Liaodong front? Thinking of this, he suddenly took a few steps back.
Unexpectedly, he was already in a cold sweat, and when he saw Xiao Yi and the three of them turn around and walk in, they exhaled a few breaths hurriedly and felt a little relaxed, looking at Xiao Yiyuan's back, and went to scold and scold to find someone else.
The Yamen of the Ministry of War is mainly to manage the promotion and promotion of the grades of civil servants and generals in various parts of the Ming Dynasty, verify the awarding of medals, and have the function of personnel transfer.
There are also the Armed Forces Selection Division, the Staffing Division, the Vehicle Driving Division, and the Arsenal Division, all of which have their own functions.
After Xiao Yi and the three of them entered, they went straight to the Wu Xuan Division, and it was the Military Selection Division of the Ministry of War that had been announcing the information for Xiao Yi, and the foreign man who was on duty at this time was named Cui Jing, who was about forty years old.
Behind him stood two military officers, and at this time, Cui Jing looked at Xiao Yi and the three of them with an arrogant face, and waited for a long time with his head held high, but he didn't see Xiao Yi make any moves.
He was angry and shouted: "Who are you, why don't you kneel when you see this official?!" ”
Seeing this scene, the people around them who were in a hurry all stopped, looked at this side with a gloating face, and pointed.
If he had come here before the face saint, Xiao Yi would have to be cautious in order to take over smoothly, but at this time, the emperor's order has been issued, and he no longer has any scruples.
Xiao Yi said calmly and coldly: "This official is personally ordered by the emperor, and the commander of the right guard of Datong is the third rank, even if he has not yet taken over, he is also the commander of the right guard of the third grade Datong, and he knows the same knowledge, seeing your little five-rank soldier Wailang, why do you need to kneel?" ”
"You!"
Cui Jing was immediately furious, got up tremblingly, pointed at Xiao Yi's nose, but couldn't speak, what Xiao Yi said was also the truth.
Immediately afterwards, Xiao Yishou arched towards the direction of the Jianji Palace, and said with a serious expression: "This official kneels down to the Son of Heaven and his parents, are you more noble than today?!" ”
"This, this, this..."Cui Jing was shocked, who said that Xiao Yi was just a lowly man?
The words are so sharp, he has torn that person's heart now, and the rest of the onlookers dare not laugh anymore, if he laughs again and reaches Chongzhen's ears, it is disrespectful to the emperor, but it is a big crime to kill the head.
This Cui Jing no longer understands the importance of current affairs, although he cursed Xiao Yi thousands of times in his heart, he still had to handle the relevant matters for Xiao Yi with a black face, and then Xiao Yi got his official uniform and seal letter and other things very smoothly.
When Xiao Yi walked out of the gate of the Wuxuan Division, he also heard some of the onlookers muttering in secret.
"It's really strange that just one garrison has been ordered by the emperor three times or twice."
"What is this, I heard that this Xiao will also be summoned by the emperor on the platform with the current pavilion elder and Lu Jiutai, and then go to the imperial garden to accompany the emperor on an excursion."
Cui Jing also said in a low voice: "It's really a strange thing, is this still a small garrison?" ”
……
Out of the yamen of the military department, half a day has passed.
After coming out, Liu Sheng couldn't hold back any longer, and laughed and said: "Following Brother Xiao is to relieve his anger, Brother Shi, do you see, the old guy just now, I'm afraid his nose is crooked now, right?" ”
Shi Lu also smiled: "It's just that your nose is crooked?" In my opinion, I can't say what kind of illness will come out of Qi, and I can't say for a long time. ”
Liu Sheng smiled as he walked: "That's a good thing, I think this old guy should have done a lot of bad things, I met Brother Xiao this time, and I don't know how many good officials have been troubled by him here in the past." ”
Xiao Yi scolded with a smile: "You kid talks a lot." ”
Liu Sheng stuck out his tongue, and the three of them rushed back to the inn, preparing to visit someone again. (To be continued.) )
