Zhu Youzhen really didn't misunderstand Guan Ning. In order to get the big fat shortage of the Nanjing garrison eunuch, this guy can be said to have made a bloody investment, and gave Wei Zhongxian all the more than 200,000 taels of silver he earned when he was the commander of the soldiers and horses of the king of duty. The so-called "wool comes out of the dog", of course, he has to rely on the power in his hands to get the silver back in a different way.

Therefore, when Yang Sichang secretly went to visit him and promised a lot of money, Guan Ning immediately changed his previous arrogant attitude and couldn't wait to treat Yang Sichang as a big customer. Sure enough, the lion opened his mouth wide, and when he opened his mouth, he asked for 100,000 taels of silver.

Fortunately, Yang Sichang was prepared, and after some bargaining, the two finally "sold" for 60,000 taels of silver. Guan Ning promised to say more good things about Yang He in front of the nine thousand years old, at least to ensure that Yang He would not die.

Of course, with Wei Zhongxian's appetite, thirty or forty thousand taels of silver would be enough. After all, when Liaodong Jingluo Xiong Tingbi lost his teacher and abandoned the land, he committed such a big thing, and Wei Zhongxian almost bailed him out for 40,000 taels of silver. If it weren't for Xiong Tingbi's brain getting into the water, and he couldn't take out the good amount at all, he fooled the nine thousand years old who took money to do things and didn't take money, maybe it wasn't him who lost his head, but Wang Huazhen.

And Guan Ning asked Yang Sichang for 60,000 taels of silver, and he could at least lose half of it. I thought that I didn't need to do more of this kind of work, I only needed to do four or five votes a year, and my cost would come back. Therefore, he was so happy that he smiled, and later he took Yang Sichang's hand very affectionately and asked for warmth, so good that he was like an old friend for many years.

Of course, Yang Sichang didn't have any money at all, so he had to ask Zhu Youzhen to borrow it, and Zhu Youzhen immediately agreed. It happened that Sun Chuanting was also going back to Jingyang to hand over to Yang Sichang, and everyone returned to Qinwangzhuang together.

On the way, Zhu Youzhen didn't say a word, and thought carefully, feeling that although the holy decree of the Apocalypse was a blow to him, the situation was not so bad that it was irreparable. Although Yang He is gone, his successor Hong Chengchou has long been resolutely advocating the extermination of the thieves. With him in Xi'an, even if he is not protected by Qin soldiers, there is no need to worry about safety.

The same is true for Jingyang County. Although Sun Chuanting was transferred, the successor Yang Sichang is now grateful to himself, and he has the talent to help the world, so he should not obstruct his various measures.

Therefore, as long as you are careful in the future and don't show your head as often as you did in the past, the Emperor of the Apocalypse may not be able to do anything to him. This is much better than being in full swing and the imperial court suddenly raises troops to "quell the rebellion"; If that's the case, you won't have a chance to turn over at all.

But no matter what, Zhu Youzhen still felt very depressed. Unconsciously returned to the palace, the generals of the Qin soldiers also got the news at this time, and they all came to the council hall to inquire about the situation.

It turned out that in addition to Guan Ning's decree to Zhu Youzhen this time, the writings of the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of War also arrived at the same time. Previously, Sun Chuanting's request for the title of the Qin generals had been approved, and Qi Meifeng was really reinstated, and he was still a third-rank general; Li Dingguo, Li Laiheng, Xie Yong, and Hao Yongzhong were all awarded the title of Six Grades and Thousand Households. Therefore, all the generals have also become official military attaches of the imperial court, and in the future, they can receive money from the imperial court, and of course they must also obey the jurisdiction of the imperial court.

But as soon as he heard that the imperial court was going to transfer him, several generals blew up the camp at that time, and they shouted loudly: "The Qin soldiers were formed by His Royal Highness, and the food and salary were also provided by His Highness, and the battle was commanded by His Highness!" Why did the court transfer us? In case the first-class thieves come to attack Jingyang again, who will protect His Highness? We are not uncommon to the official positions of the imperial court, this time we just don't leave, see what the imperial court can do to us! ”

Especially Hao Yongzhong, who jumped three feet high, blushed and said with a thick neck: "Your Highness, the last general was completely influenced by you to break away from the thieves and join the Qin soldiers." As for other corrupt officials and corrupt officials, if you want Lao Tzu to grovel and work for them, there is no way! If the court doesn't retract this bullshit order, Lao Tzu will rebel sooner or later! ”

The more Zhu Youzhen listened, the more irritated he became, and finally couldn't help but shout: "Shut up for me!" ”

Seeing that King Qin was angry, several generals didn't dare to squeak. Zhu Youzhen gasped for a few breaths, and finally said with difficulty: "This king is reluctant to let you go!" But since the Holy One has already willed, we must not disobey it, and then it is really the opposite? How is this different from a thief? Remember, you are not my personal army, Zhu Youzhen, but the defenders of the entire Chinese nation! Could it be that if I die, you will not serve your country and fight against foreign aggression? ”

He said this righteously and strictly, and Hao Yongzhong and the others bowed their heads in shame.

Only then did Zhu Youzhen slow down and said: "And you are still serving under Lord Sun, and Lord Sun is the same as this king." I hope that in the future, you will follow Lord Sun's dispatch and make more contributions to the country, and you will be worthy of this king! ”

Sun Chuanting was also busy: "Your Highness, rest assured, although the lowly post is transferred to the governor of Yansui, how to deploy the troops, the imperial court can't manage it so carefully, and the lowly post can be decided at its discretion." Now that the trend of thieves has been achieved, only His Highness can win the battle and solve the crisis. ”

Zhu Youzhen shook his head weakly and said, "I really can't directly command the Qin soldiers in the future, so you can do it yourself." If you lack food, you can also come to the king, but try not to contact you usually, so as not to be suspicious of the court. Alas! Go, this king wants to be alone! ”

If it were in normal times, such an old-fashioned line, Zhu Youzhen would definitely not say it. But at this time, he was so confused that he couldn't find other more suitable words.

When the generals saw that Zhu Youzhen was excited, how dare they disturb, so they had to stand up and send him off the council hall and back to the back house.

Zhu Youzhen was stunned, and only then did he realize that Qi Meifeng was not present. Now that she has been reinstated, if she is also transferred by order, how can the two get married? What a nerve-wracking thing!

He paced into the back house in distress, but found that Qi Meifeng was sitting next to Princess Rui'er and talking about something, and she couldn't stop crying while talking, and her beautiful eyes were red and swollen from crying. And Bao Yulian, Zhu Cunqi, Chen Yuanyuan and others were also present, all frowning and silent, and something happened at a glance.

Zhu Youzhen was shocked in his heart, thinking that Qi Meifeng, as a general, is usually very strong, how could he have shed tears easily? Hurriedly asked, "Meifeng, you're here!" What's wrong with you guys? ”

When Qi Meifeng saw that it was him, she suddenly choked up and couldn't help herself, turned around and wanted to escape. Rui'er hurriedly grabbed her, and smiled reluctantly at Zhu Youzhen: "Lord Wang, there is a letter here, you better read it yourself!" ”

Zhu Youzhen took the letter and unfolded it to look at it suspiciously, and was immediately shocked!
