Chapter 311: Leading the Troops
Gu Xiangning walked to the gate of Gu Mansion in a sedan chair, and Yue Shaoan's personal guards didn't need to deliberately explain, they naturally protected her around. She was a little nervous, she had been away from home for too long, and she didn't know what happened to her father.
She has been dependent on her father for many years since she was a child, and she left suddenly, saying that she didn't miss it in her heart, it was absolutely impossible, when she was in the village, he always missed her father, but now she is in front of the house, but she is a little restrained.
The maid helped her get out of the sedan chair and stood in front of the door, for a long time, Gu Xiangning took a deep breath and said softly: "Knock on the door." ”
The guards around him stepped forward and knocked lightly, it was not too late now, although the gate of the Gu Mansion was closed, there were people guarding inside, so it didn't take long for the door to open inside, and a family member poked his head out and looked around.
The pomp and circumstance of dozens of guards in front of the door made him slightly surprised, he didn't know that the noble man was coming, he took a closer look, but found a familiar voice, the family "ah......" shouted: "Small, small, small...... Miss...... I see Miss......"
The family ran towards the mansion without his life, shouting constantly, I don't know if it was because he was scared or happy, it should be more afraid, in the Gu Mansion, everyone thought that Gu Xiangning was dead, but now he suddenly appeared, and it was still at night, no matter who it was, it would inevitably be frightened.
Gu Xiangning was slightly stunned, then smiled bitterly, she also figured out what the reason was, and said softly: "Let's go in." ”
After that, the group went inside, and before they went far, they saw Gu Zhang running out in a panic, his snow-white hair was a little messy, his feet were very fast, and he stumbled on the flat road.
When the father and daughter met, Gu Xiangning stopped suddenly, before she came over, she had already heard Yue Shao'an say that her father was much older now, but she would never have thought that her father would grow old like this.
Looking at the white hair and white beard blown by the breeze, her heart suddenly hurt, tears couldn't help but fall, looking at her father's figure, biting her lip, slowly approaching his side, and calling softly: "Daddy, Ning'er is back......"
Gu Zhang stretched out his old and trembling hand and slowly touched her cheek, when the finger touched her skin, Gu Zhang couldn't help but be excited anymore, the old tears opened his mouth, slightly vague, and said: "Ning'er, it's really Ning'er......"
"Daddy......" Gu Xiangning couldn't cry anymore, looked at her father's face, couldn't say a word, for a long time, she only said one sentence: "Ning'er is not filial...... knelt down......
The guards and subordinates stepped aside, handing over the space to the father and daughter.
The reunion of the father and daughter in Gu Fuzhong was both happy and touching, and after the initial excitement, the atmosphere slowly became warm. And Yue Shao'an, who was in the imperial study of the palace, was furious.
Today, the emperor summoned not only him, but also some old ministers, although the old ministers shouted one by one, but obviously not many people were respectful from the heart, most of them were vaguely called because of their position, especially Li Shilang, his son is still in prison, he really has no good impression of Yue Shao'an, and he will attack him as soon as he catches it, and even this time he led the troops out, and he became the target of his attack.
The reason is that Yue Shao'an privately killed and injured the sergeant, and without evidence, he privately beheaded the imperial general, and his behavior was not only overstepping, but also constituted the use of private soldiers......
At the same time that Li Shilang attacked Yue Shao'an, the people who ganged up with him on weekdays also took the opportunity to add fuel and vinegar, only saying that Yue Shao'an transferred troops to kill the generals, without mentioning that Li Ran's trip was still an obvious rebellion, nor did he say that Yue Shao'an broke up Li Ran's thousands of people with a force of 200 people. It was a great achievement, and it almost made them say that it was a deliberate rebellion.
Yue Shaoan looked at them with a sneer, anger rising in his heart, but he didn't show much on his face. Because, he knew that the emperor would definitely help him speak.
Sure enough, after hearing this, the emperor just smiled softly and said: "Mr. Yue is also in charge of the defense of Hangzhou, and besides, Li Ran is his subordinate, and his subordinates rebelled and killed on the spot, this kind of thing is very good, if Mr. Yue didn't do this, I would be unhappy, now so, I am very relieved, Mr. Yue has a meritorious role in quelling the rebellion, where is the sin?" ”
The emperor's words blocked everyone's words back, leaving them speechless, these courtiers who attacked Yue Shao'an were not fools, in fact, when they attacked Yue Shao'an before, they didn't think that they could use this matter to bring Yue Shao'an down, and it was nothing more than to make the emperor calm down and not give Yue Shao'an too many rewards.
However, although their wishful thinking rang, it did not materialize, and the emperor's next words made them feel a chill in their hearts.
I saw that the emperor slowly showed a smile and said: "A few days ago, the rule of the Western Battalion was withdrawn because of the deduction of military salaries, and now the King of Liang in the south has the intention of rebelling, and the 60,000 soldiers of the Western Battalion must have a commander, how about Mr. Yue to be the commander of the Western Battalion?" ”
The emperor looked at Yue Shao'an inquiringly, but Yue Shao'an understood that this was a will, even if the emperor rarely suppressed him with royal authority, but as a courtier, how could he not understand the truth, and after listening to it, he hurriedly nodded and agreed.
The emperor smiled slightly: "The West Battalion has been beheaded by several generals because of the deduction of military salaries, and Mr. Yue can arrange the positions below the deputy commander by himself, and Mr. Yue can also appoint them above the deputy commander, and give me a document." ”
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Yue Shaoan clasped his fists and saluted.
The emperor nodded slightly, and then said, "For King Liang, do you have any opinions?" ”
"Your Majesty." Liu Zong, who had not spoken, bowed solemnly and said: "According to the minister's opinion, the king of Liang has no objection, and when he ascended the throne hall, he openly resisted the decree and did not come, which still explains all this. The minister thinks that he should send troops to quell the rebellion, and if you sit back and wait for you to become great, the people in the south will definitely suffer more from the war. ”
"Hmm!" The emperor nodded, looked at the other courtiers again, was a little worried, and asked: "It's just that a teacher needs to be famous, if there is an unknown teacher, it will not be good to end up with a tongue that will force him to rebel." ”
Scholar Wang stepped forward and saluted, "Your Majesty, the name of the teacher is not a problem. Your Majesty can make another trick to make King Xuanliang come to the court, and if he doesn't come at that time, he will be punished for the crime of bullying the king, and no one will say anything if he wants to come. He didn't come to His Majesty's enthronement last time, wasn't he sick, and this time he sent the imperial doctor over to see what else he had to say. ”
"Hmm!" After a moment of contemplation, the Emperor nodded, "Okay, let's do it." In the end, he added: "Then the judge is the candidate, I think Mr. Yue will be in charge." ”
"No." Li Shilang stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, although the emperor is a military general, he is famous for his writings, such an important matter, handed over to the emperor, the minister is afraid that it will ......."
"Hey!" The emperor raised his hand to stop him from continuing, and said softly: "Li Qing's words are wrong, although Mr. Yue is famous for his writing, but his ability to lead troops is very strong, so I think Mr. Yue is very suitable." ”
"Yes!" Li Shilang retreated. But someone stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that there is still something wrong, King Liang has lived in the south wind for a long time, and the foundation is deep, and the emperor only brought the men and horses of the West Battalion to go, I am afraid it will be dangerous." ”
"Hmmm! Reasonable. The emperor nodded and said, "Then let Li Jun from Nanying go with him!" It is more prudent to divide the troops into two ways and use both of them. ”
Yue Shaoan opened his mouth, wanting to speak, but he couldn't. He shook his head slightly, he had heard the name of Li Jun, this person was timid and fearful, and he was also extremely snobbish, and cooperating with him made Yue Shaoan very disdainful.
After the deliberations were over, the emperor left Yue Shao'an, ate a meal at random, and then asked about the recent situation, and then let him leave the palace.
Yue Shaoan rode a red horse and walked slowly on the street, but he felt a lot of emotion in his heart, to destroy King Liang is understandable for state affairs, but there is a Zhou Longxuan between him and King Liang, which makes him very embarrassed, killing King Liang, Zhou Longxuan will definitely not forgive himself, but if he doesn't kill him, it is disobedience, and he suddenly fell into a dilemma......
