217 The heart is gone

"What does it look like? Are you going to rebel openly? Standing next to the car, the cavalry officer of the brocade guard who escorted the envoy to read the holy decree to Wang Jue shouted this sentence to the black pressure in front of him, and the soldiers from the Liaobei Army who stood in front of him answered the other party's question with silence and indifference.

There was a beautiful semicircle, and the muzzles of machine guns and rifles formed a beautiful pattern, blocking the path of these officials from the capital who read the holy decree. The officer on duty at the head of the team is about 1.80 meters tall, obviously half a head taller than the officer opposite, he looked down and stared at each other's eyes, and finally said in a rebellious tone: "We have notified the superiors, what is the noise, wait!" If the commander is willing to see you, he will naturally pass the word. ”

Unfortunately, as soon as his words fell, there was a rare roar of car engines in Baicheng. Soldiers who have heard this voice know that the familiar voice must have come from the commander's off-road vehicle, which can seat up to five people. The soldier standing in the back row subconsciously looked back and saw the dirty car covered with a layer of sand, just swaying over.

Wang Jue didn't have any shelves, and was the first to jump out of the car and see an old acquaintance of himself in the Forbidden City. It turned out that Zhu Mu was afraid that Wang Jue would misunderstand him, and he was also afraid that this best friend would have any grievances in his heart, so he arranged for a chamberlain who Wang Jue was more familiar with in the palace, that is, the chief attendant of His Royal Highness the Prince's East Palace, to personally go to Baicheng to read out Emperor Zhu Mu's will.

It is not uncommon for the emperor to deliberately send an acquaintance of the other party to read the will in order not to let the minister misunderstand his thoughts, but every time it is enough to show the favor of His Majesty the emperor to his courtiers. Wang Jue immediately laughed when he saw this acquaintance, and those soldiers of the Liaobei Army heard Wang Jue laugh, and they also temporarily shifted the muzzle of the gun in their hands.

The atmosphere eased suddenly, and behind Wang Jue, in the car full of dust, the big man of Jinyiwei also got out of the car, saw a group of colleagues in Jinyiwei, and did not say hello, but just walked behind Wang Jue, standing there motionless with his hands behind his back. At the level of the Great Han, except for His Majesty the Emperor in the Forbidden City, there are too few people who can make him grovel, and even his top boss, Li Keshou, does not have this qualification.

Wang Jue knew what it meant for the big man to stand behind him, and he had only been together for less than a month, and this big man recognized himself. He is just standing there as a kind of protection for Wang Jue, as long as he stands there, then Wang Jue will not be like Wang Futong, who was suddenly killed by someone for no apparent reason.

Seeing the situation in front of him, the chief attendant also knew that Wang Jue personally came out to meet him and solve his problem and gave him enough face, so he hurriedly piled up the smiling faces of the two people who served the prince and the waiter, and stepped forward and said with a pleasant face: "His Majesty the Emperor asked me to bring a message to General Wang, saying that it is all kinds of grievances, and you have your own majesty when you return to Beijing...... Your Majesty has another sentence ......"

"He must have asked me if I believed him or not. If I say I believe him, then you will read the holy decree full of bullshit telling me to step down and return to the capital to return to the capital...... If I don't believe in Your Majesty, you'll stay and wait for the second decree, right? Wang Jue smiled and said Zhu Mu's method, looked at the face of the chief waiter who couldn't cry and laughed, and nodded very comfortably: "Read out the holy decree!" ”

Hearing that Wang Jue didn't embarrass him, and to say it a little deeper, that is, he himself could finally be sure of his own little life, and when he didn't have to stay in a desolate white city in northern Liaobei because of Wang Jue's anger, the face of the chief of the chamberlain glowed with unprecedented brilliance, and he smiled and bent over Wang Jue and said: "It's still the king's attendant who reads that you understand the righteousness, and the lower officials said that His Majesty the emperor didn't miss people, and that's the case...... And so it was! ”

Then the chamberlain took out a letter written on special paper in bright yellow from a suitcase in the back of the car—the decree has also progressed with the times, and the characteristic ancient objects with scrolls rolled at both ends have long been obsolete because of the inconvenience of writing and the difficulty of preserving them. The current decree is written on imperial paper, and is stamped with the seal of the cabinet and the seal of the emperor's secretariat.

However, when the decree is read, there are rules that should be in place. The laws of the Ming Empire clearly stipulate that when officials greet the holy decree, they must bow and wait for the holy decree to be read (except for secret decrees). The exemption from kneeling is to take care of the dignity of generals and ministers - to avoid generals with troops from kneeling in front of their own men, reflecting the progress of the Ming Empire's emphasis on etiquette and attention.

took out the bright yellow holy decree from the suitcase, and showed the seal on the seal to the Jinyi Wei Han behind Wang Jue and the chief of staff of the Liaobei Army who was relatively close, but then did not tear it open and read it, but said loudly: "Commander of the Liaodong New Army, General Wang Jue receives the order!" ”

Wang Jue was not hypocritical, took a step back and gave up the respectful distance to the holy decree, and then stood upright, pressed his right hand into a fist on his chest, saluted a standard Ming Empire military salute, and the shout in his mouth was also very loud, at least let everyone around him hear the slogan he shouted: "Long live His Majesty the Emperor!" The commander of the 1st Group Army of the Liaodong New Army, General Wang Jue commanded the order! ”

After receiving the holy decree from the hand of the chief waiter, Wang Jue tore open the seal traces on it, opened it and looked at the contents carefully. This kind of bright yellow paper is a special reference, and I heard that the process is more than three more than the anti-counterfeiting of the gold coins of the Ming Empire. And this is just a piece of paper with a pattern inside, the lower part is a tear trace, in order to prevent forgery and alteration, there is an exact copy of the same in the archives in the Forbidden City, which can be taken out and checked at any time - since the Emperor of the Apocalypse, all the official decrees, and even most of the secret decrees, are still properly preserved.

The decree was obviously written in official language, and it was very unpleasant, so the chief of the chamberlain did not read it out in public, for fear of stirring up a commotion and unnecessary rebellion. After all, the current high-level of the Ming Empire still refuses to admit that the border general Wang Fu is complicit in the rebellion, and the matter of Wang Jue's unauthorized killing of the border general is not suitable for publicity.

"I have never heard of a twenty-year-old who was appointed a general of the Empire, nor have I ever heard of a person who was mad and mad, regardless of the Empire's exceptional rewards and the entrustment of his subjects, who acted recklessly! However, Erfang was a general of the empire at the age of twenty, and Er's magnates were rare in ancient and modern times, but Er, regardless of the emperor's grace and loyalty, traveled thousands of miles to kill Wang Futong, the commander of the Liaobei Army, the minister of the humerus of the imperial court! How thick I am to treat you, and how cold I am to be! ”

Wang Jue looked at the beginning of such a long and verbose paragraph, sneered, and then stuffed this holy decree into his left pocket, looked at the chief waiter and asked, "Has Your Majesty been free recently, often hunting, and even preparing to choose a concubine?" Well? ”

Are you kidding? Zhu Mu had decisively rejected the persuasion of the minister and the queen mother of the harem, and made it clear that the war in Liaodong was in full swing, and it was not suitable for the Son of Heaven to marry. Zhu Mu was so busy every day that he even read the minister's news about the flooding in the south during his meal time, so how could he have time to hunt and play? The chief of the chamberlain hurriedly bowed his head and defended his master: "The general is laughing, Your Majesty has every opportunity......

"Hah! You also know that Your Majesty has a lot of opportunities, where did you get the time to write so much nonsense to me? Wang Jue put it in the ear of the chief waiter, and asked quietly: "This bullshit holy decree looks like it was drawn up by the cabinet, and there is no really useful sentence, you were arranged by Your Majesty to come from so far to read the holy decree, is it because you offended Your Majesty and came to suffer deliberately?" In this public, I can't stuff gold coins for you, so if you have anything to say, I'll go back." ”

The chief chamberlain had been with Zhu Mu and Wang Jue for several years, and naturally knew that the twenty-year-old young man in front of him was just like the one sitting on the dragon chair in the Emperor's Palace in the Forbidden City, he was a powerful person who was extremely smart and couldn't be deceived at all, so he quickly lowered his head and replied softly: "Your Majesty only said one word...... Go back, there is me in Liaodong. ”

Wang Jue was stunned when he heard this, he was here to talk to the chief of the inner chamberlain, and he spent so much time in front of hundreds of people, on the one hand, because he really needed such a ceremony and process of receiving the holy decree to preserve the dignity of the imperial empire; On the other hand, it is because Wang Jue is really reluctant, he is really reluctant to the unfinished chaos in Liaodong, and he is reluctant to give up this group of available men in northern Liaoning.

And the emperor Zhu Mu, who was far away in the Forbidden City and had not even been out of the palace in the past two months, actually guessed what Wang Jue was thinking about, and brought such a sentence to the chief of the chamberlain many days in advance that made Wang Jue a little surprised. It can be seen how wise and intelligent His Majesty the new Emperor was sitting on the dragon chair.

After Wang Jue's short pause, he laughed out loud, his smile made everyone inexplicable, but the strong man in brocade clothes standing behind him knew that this laughter was clearly a concern for him in Liaodong, and he could already put it down. The corners of Dahan's mouth raised, happy for Wang Jue, and excited for his motherland to finally turn evil into good fortune.

"This is the Your Majesty I know." After Wang Jue laughed, after whispering to himself, he looked in the direction of the distant Jingshi - although the Forbidden City was strong and deep, it really couldn't lock the true dragon from traveling for nine days!
