Chapter 330: The Silly Scapegoat

Ding Rukui, the secretary of the military department who came out of the Yan Mansion, said that he was very confused, because Yan Song really told himself not to launch a counterattack, and Yan Ge Lao's reason was very sufficient: if he launched a counteroffensive, he could be defeated, and if he was defeated at the border, he could also pretend to win a battle to repay his merits. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info But at the feet of the Son of Heaven, if it fails, the emperor will definitely know, and it will be difficult to do at that time. Anyway, at this time, the army of King Qin from all over the country has already arrived, and I don't dare to attack the city, so it is better to let me loot outside the city, and I will definitely withdraw myself soon after, and we don't have to bear any responsibility.

Good logic, really good logic, but it only suffers the people outside the city. However, at this time, Ding Rukui didn't have time to think about this, because he was more concerned about his own safety, if it wasn't for being too worried about his own safety, he wouldn't have been grinding and chirping, and then ran over to find Yan Song.

Ding Rukui's worries are very simple: you must know that the counterattack is an order from the emperor, although you are an elder of Yan Ge, but the emperor's order is very heavy!

Yan Song seemed to see Ding Rukui's doubts, so he patted his chest and assured Ding Rukui, "Don't worry, with me, I will be safe!" ”

If you want to say that Yan Ge Lao has talked about this, if Ding Rukui is entangled here endlessly, it will not be arrogant, so he smiled and thanked him, and walked out of the gate of Yan Mansion leisurely.

Looking at the back of Ding Rukui walking out of the door, Yan Song couldn't help laughing: Finally, a fool has carried the black pot for himself! It turned out that the reason why Yan Song sent the news to Ding Rukui to find him was to ask him to carry the black pot of empty wages for him.

Ding Rukui, who was guaranteed by Yan Song patting his chest, went home to sleep peacefully, but when I saw that no one was chasing him, he was so energetic that he robbed and looted outside the city.

Of course, not everyone is as confused as Ding Rukui, at least Peng Yue is not confused. He knew that Zhu Houxi had given the order to counterattack, but Ding Rukui kept his troops still, and asked people to ask him, he was also unreasonable, and Peng Yue knew that he was unwilling to send troops. Of course, Peng Yue didn't know the specific reason, and he didn't bother to care, because he had to find a way to solve the problem.

So he sent someone to find Qiu Luan for help, because Qiu Luan pretended to be sick, Xu Jie had already told himself. Although Peng Yue was temporarily appointed as a general by Zhu Houxi when he organized the defense of the capital, the general seal was still with Qiu Luan.

At this time, it will definitely be difficult to transfer troops to find people from the military department, but it will still work to act cheaply with Qiu Luan's general seal. Of course, he did this, to a certain extent, because of Qiu Qingge, so he wanted to give Qiu Luan a big credit.

But sadly, Qiu Luan was hesitant to accept this great credit that fell from the sky. Peng Yue could only reason with him, because he knew that it was useless to move with affection.

He told Qiu Luan that if something happened, then he would put the blame on himself, saying that he told Qiu Luan to send troops to pursue, and when the time came, he would take the initiative to request that the general's authority be relieved and all of them would be returned to Qiu Luan.

Qiu Luan has been annoyed by Peng Yue because the general's seal hasn't been covered with heat in the past few days, and he has been holding the general's seal for the past few days and refusing to let go.

In addition, Peng Yue told Qiu Luan that Zhu Houxi decided that as soon as the war ended, he would investigate the matter of the Beijing army's empty salary, and he was naturally afraid to know that Qiu Luan also had a share in it.

At this time, Peng Yue was angry that Ding Rukui refused to send troops, so he told Qiu Luan that he could take advantage of this to make meritorious contributions, and then put all the charges of eating empty salaries on Ding Rukui. Anyway, that Ding Rukui didn't eat less, and he sat back and watched the people outside the city suffer and refused to send troops, so he deserved to die.

So our General Qiu Da, inspired by Peng Yue, "went into battle with illness" in this way. I originally thought that the Beijing army would not attack, so I was relieved to plunder boldly. At this time, seeing so many capitals counterattacking, he naturally fled.

Qiu Luan also had a heart, he put the troops of the king of Qin from all walks of life in front of the pursuit, and he led the Datong cavalry to follow behind. There were some small confrontations in front, and King Qin's army killed a lot of people, but Qiu Luan's army was unharmed, but he killed the lone Tartar soldiers in the back, and finally took the heads of hundreds of Tartar soldiers to receive the merit.

The noisy Alta finally withdrew from the army, leaving a mess outside Beijing, and the people were crying and grabbing the ground, but the officials in the city were celebrating with their hands: I Da, this bastard, is finally gone, safe!

Of course, there is one person here who is unhappy, that is Ding Rukui, the secretary of the military department, because he did not listen to the holy order and refused to send troops to fight back, he was directly arrested in prison without even seeing the emperor's face. It's a pity that Yan Song was still thinking about him at this time, and specially sent someone to the prison to tell Ding Rukui: Hold on, I will definitely play the Ming Shengshang and keep you safe! made Ding Rukui grateful.

Of course, our Yan Ge Lao is definitely not so kind, he sent someone to tell Ding Rukui to hold on, and at the same time entered the palace to advise Zhu Houyi: Ding Rukui lived up to the holy will and really deserved to be killed, and he also put the crime of eating empty salaries on Ding Rukui alone.

This time, Zhu Houxi could be said to be angry, and without thinking about it, he directly sentenced Ding Rukui to a summary beheading. To say that Ding Rukui is also innocent, he was neither clean nor competent as an official, but later because he was afraid that something would happen to him, he listened to Yan Song's words, and sat back and watched the people outside the city being slaughtered without hesitation, he really deserved to die.

But the dramatic thing is that when someone came to the prison to arrest Ding Rukui, Ding Rukui thought that Yan Song had sent someone to save him, and thanked them loudly, saying something like hard work, but people were afraid that he would talk nonsense, so they directly beat him to a bloody mouth and couldn't speak.

It wasn't until the moment Ding Rukui was caught on the guillotine that he really woke up: he was deceived by Yan Song, an old thief! But at this time, it is useless to shout injustice, not to mention that he is not wronged.

The big knife fell, blood splattered three feet, and the head fell to the ground, but your life, how can it be worth the lives of so many poor people outside the city!

However, in stark contrast, Qiu Luan's life is extremely good. He was the first to run to King Qin, and through negotiations, he dragged me down, and later pursued hard, killing so many Tartar soldiers, what a great achievement!

Because the lesson was also profound, Zhu Houxi felt that it was time for the Beijing army to rectify it. At the suggestion of Wang Bangrui, the official of the Ministry of Temporary Regent, Zhu Houxi abolished the two official halls of the regiment and battalion, reused the old system of the three battalions, and created the Rong government, making Qiu Luan the governor and Wang Bangrui the deputy.

Of course, under Xu Jie's secret instructions, Qiu Luan did not dare to take the meritorious service alone, so he reported to Zhu Houxi, saying that it was Peng Yue who instructed him to lead the army to pursue.

Of course, Zhu Houxi remembered Peng Yue's merits, he was ordered to lead the Beijing army to protect the capital, and then acted cheaply, with the authority of a temporary general, let Qiu Luan pursue and reduce the loss, which is also a great credit.

Therefore, Zhu Houxi ignored Yan Song's obstruction and recalled Peng Yue back to the court, but at Peng Yue's insistence, he was still unwilling to take care of the affairs of the Ministry of War, because he felt that he was not the material, so Peng Yue went back to his old profession - the Ministry of Households, but he would also be in charge of some affairs of the Ministry of War, and Zhao Jin was the secretary of the Ministry of War.

Peng Yue returned to the dynasty this time, Xu Jie must be happy. Qiu Luan was also very happy, because he had another helper to deal with Yan Song. He knew that Peng Yue was a good person, when he was in prison, only he was willing to intercede for himself, this Qiu Luan still knew, and he also knew that there was some small ambiguity between Peng Yue and his daughter Qiu Qingge, which could also be used, haha...

Of course, there must be people who are unhappy, such as Yan Song, such as Yan Mengyun and Gu Wan'er, who are pouting at home... (To be continued.) )
