Chapter Thirty-Six: The Warning of the Eastern Capital
He knew that at present, this group of soldiers was just stimulated by their own actions, and after calming down, they would still have resentment towards themselves, after all, he caused them to lose three months of food and salary, and let them starve for so long.
Although Li Hong didn't think that they would get their own food if they continued to stay in the original camp, but now they must take on this responsibility, and only real silver and food can truly stabilize people's hearts!
"As long as a soldier has not received food, he will not leave, and as long as the food has not been delivered for a moment, he will accompany you to starve!"
Li Hong's voice was already hoarse, but he still endured the burning pain in his throat and said loudly.
In the army, either you have to be strong enough to convince everyone, or you have to be able to share their ups and downs so that they can be loyal to you!
Li Hong naturally understood this truth, and sure enough, as soon as his words came out, those soldiers all cast grateful glances at him, this time no one guided, and everyone shouted loudly as if they had a tacit understanding.
"Swear allegiance to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
Although the two shouts were the same, Li Hong knew in his heart that I was afraid that this time would really make them willing to be loyal to him.
At that moment, let everyone get up, just stand in place and wait for Cheng Wu to come back, some of those soldiers were already physically exhausted, Li Hong wanted to send them back to the camp, but they insisted on standing with Li Hong, and they didn't even want to sit down.
"Your Highness, all the grain and silver have arrived."
It wasn't until the sky was slightly dark that Cheng Wu returned to the camp with a group of personal guards, and brought all the grain and grass, the reason why he came back late was because Pei heard about the camp, and he couldn't bear it, so he ordered someone to add some live pigs, sheep and fresh vegetables, and ordered to bring some wine, but a lot of effort was wasted.
And those soldiers saw that not only grain and silver were transported, but also a few live pigs and sheep were transported, and even seasonal vegetables that were only enjoyed by nobles, their eyes were suddenly stunned, and they almost drooled, especially when they saw that the last cart was carrying a cart of wine jars, their eyes were hooked, and they were almost about to pounce, and they looked at Li Hong with a little more gratitude.
It made Li Hong's heart move, but he forgot that these army men like wine and meat the most, and at this moment, they will be deeply remembered when they are full of grace, and Pei's is thoughtful.
"Since the crown princess has good intentions, the soldiers will not return home tonight if they are not drunk! The silver taels were immediately issued to the soldiers, and they will rest for two days from tomorrow, and return to the camp on time after two days! ”
Li Hong simply gave them two days off and let them take care of themselves, anyway, they are so hungry now, I am afraid that they will not be able to start training, so it is better to let them go home and have a good rest.
There was a burst of cheers below, and it was only now that these men really felt that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince really cherished his subordinates, and they couldn't help but feel ashamed of their original attitude.
Li Hong wanted to personally supervise the distribution of the food, but he unexpectedly saw Cheng Wu followed by a person, which made him have to change his mind.
The Great Tent of the Chinese Army.
Although it was not on the battlefield, before the real training of the six rates of the East Palace was completed, they all had to use tents in this wilderness, which was not necessary in the first place, but the time was tight and the task was heavy, so Li Hong had to pull them out alone to train here.
Li Hong smiled and greeted the visitor.
This person who followed Cheng Wu was none other than Li Hong's old friend, Wu Liangfu!
Since he came, it means that the will of the Eastern Capital has come, so Li Hongcai has to go to the big tent of the Chinese army to set up an incense case and prepare to receive the order.
Wu Liangfu didn't talk nonsense, took out a roll of yellow silk from his sleeve, and read it.
"Hong'er, since I established Er as the crown prince, Er has always been gentle and benevolent, but the eastern capital was assassinated, I can't bear it, Er's proposals are all accurate, I don't want you to be tyrannical to this, beating the emperor's brother, slapping the prince, relying on power, breaking into private houses, pile pile by pile, I heard it late at night, it is really extremely chilling, I don't know what makes Er so disregard for the law, such a tyrannical person, how to bear the responsibility of the prince?"
Wu Liangfu's voice was neither sad nor joyful, but it made Li Hong break out in a cold sweat, and Li Zhi even said such words.
From these words, Li Hong can clearly feel that Li Zhi has a strong anger and disappointment between the lines, could it be that the twist and turn on himself did not work?
But the next moment, Li Hong seemed to catch a smile in Wu Liangfu's eyes, but it was fleeting, and Wu Liangfu continued.
"Ran Nian was assassinated in Erqiu, his mind was unstable, and there was a reason for the incident, I will no longer pursue it, I hope that Er'er will do it himself, when I turn back to Chang'an, if the six rates of the East Palace do nothing, I will be asked for the guilt!"
That's it?
I scared myself enough in front of me, but I didn't get any punishment at all?
Wu Liangfu smiled and said to Li Hong.
"Your Highness rest assured, Your Majesty was indeed extremely angry when he got the news late at night, but after His Highness's recital was folded, His Majesty's heart was half calmed, and the person who was angry was just His Highness's recklessness! What's more, His Majesty actually doesn't believe that His Royal Highness King Yong will be beaten by His Royal Highness, but the old slave wants to say more......"
"Wu Daban, please speak."
Li Hong took the holy decree, only to find out that this holy decree was not the official decree of the province under the door, but simply stamped with a private seal of Li Zhi, not the seal of the Son of Heaven.
In this way, this is just a private letter, no wonder Li Zhi's tone is so heavy, as if he wants to abolish the prince, since it is a private reprimand, it will naturally be heavier.
"Your Royal Highness, although Zhou Guogong and His Royal Highness have a grudge, after all, they are the nephews of the queen's mother, if they are ...... Your Majesty is not easy to do, please think about it. ”
Helan Minzhi? Li Hong's eyes were cold, but he immediately returned to his gentleness.
"Thank you Wu Daban, you have your own measure."
Wu Liangfu has been serving by Li Zhi's side for so many years, and his skills in observing words and emotions are naturally first-class, and seeing Li Hong's performance like this, he naturally knows that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is afraid that he has not listened to this.
It's also true that Zhou Guogong did so much back then, and everyone would hate him to the core, not to mention that his status was as noble as His Royal Highness the Prince.
But he had already brought it, so he didn't stay much, and even if he took his leave.
Li Hong sent Wu Liangfu away, and when he returned to the camp, he showed a sneer.
Wu Liangfu is a person who has served by Li Zhi's side for many years, so he naturally knows what to say and what not to say, and he won't say a word that he shouldn't say, and he was still wondering why Li Zhi didn't mention this matter in this will.
Now it seems that this is clearly a dilemma for both sides of Li Zhi, so he had to use Wu Liangfu's mouth to euphemistically warn himself that Helan Minzhi should not be moved lightly.
It's a pity, even if he wants to let go of Helan Minzhi now, I'm afraid that kid won't let him go, he beat him hard that day, he must have a grudge now, not to mention that the case of Pingkangfang has not been investigated clearly, he will never easily let go of those behind the murder of girls.
However, he only thought that Empress Wu was protecting him, but he didn't expect Li Zhi to be in favor of dealing with him, which made Li Hong a little helpless.
Presumably his amorous father remembered Helan Minzhi's mother, Mrs. Han, but after so many years, Li Zhi's affection is afraid that it will also fade, otherwise he would not have reminded himself in this way, and maybe there is still the meaning of the martial arts queen in it.
The most important thing is the side of the Empress Wu......
Li Hong slowly knocked on the table, thinking.
Now that the East Palace Sixth Rate has been settled, Li Hong will not stay longer, after all, what he has done for the time being is enough to win the hearts of the soldiers, and the rest will have to wait for the rest to come slowly.
Besides, he actually has such a foundation, and he doesn't have time to soak here every day, and he really trains the six rates of the East Palace, and he has to rely on Wang Fangyi and Heiya Changzhi, and he can take the general direction at most.
However, Helan Minzhi's good days should also come to an end.
Because Li Hong has just received the news, tomorrow Dali Temple will start the trial of the assassination of the imperial city.
It's time to act!
