Chapter 256: General Zheng Qiu
Zheng Qiu got out of the carriage, glanced at Sima Shengchang with an indifferent expression, and then his eyes fell on the carriage behind him, and said lightly: "Wei Zhongcheng, is it difficult for the old man to invite you?" ”
"Ahem"
There were suddenly two coughs in the carriage, Wei Qiao slowly lifted the curtain, got out of the carriage, walked slowly towards Zheng Qiu, and said with a smile: "Elder Zheng Ge forgive me, the lower officials occasionally feel the wind and cold, and they have been pretending to sleep." If you can't welcome you in person, please bear with me. ”
And Wen Pang and Sima Shengchang both stood behind Wei Qiao at this time, staring at Zheng Qiu. Wen Pang was indifferent, and Sima Shengchang was vigilant.
Zheng Qiu didn't bother to expose Wei Qiao, he glanced at it lightly, and then turned to Tuosai who was standing on the gate of Taichang Siqing, and said: "Wei Zhongcheng, do you know that my Daqi is a state of etiquette and has always paid attention to hospitality, is this how you treat guests?" Is this how I received it instead of Daqi? ”
"Ahem" Wei Qiao wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, looking sick, and said: "The lesson of the elder is that the lower officials also feel that this hospitality is really problematic. ”
Zheng Qiu glanced at Wei Qiao with some surprise, and then said, "Then you don't want to withdraw all these people." ”
"Withdraw," Wei Qiao said with a hint of surprise in his eyes, "Why did Elder Ge say this?" ”
Zheng Qiu snorted coldly and said, "The Yulin Army besieged the envoys of Fanbang, this has never happened in the history of my Great Qi, is it possible, you still want to slaughter them!?" ”
Wei Qiao coughed again, slowly wiped his mouth, and said with a respectful look: "The elder said that the lower officials only came to arrange their accommodation, and they didn't have any intention of being embarrassed. ”
"No embarrassment?" Zheng Qiu sneered and said, "Then what are so many people doing here?" Could it be that you and I are old and dizzy? ”
"Ahem" Wei Qiao wiped his mouth with a handkerchief again, and it was very difficult to stop coughing, bowed and said: "The elder of the pavilion has misunderstood the lower official, the lower official is now the reception envoy, as for the rest, it is really not very clear." ”
Sima Shengchang looked at Wei Qiao's style and admired it in his heart. Not only was he indifferent and perfunctory to Zheng Ge Lao's behavior, but he also used the occasional cold 'cough' to constantly disgust Zheng Ge Lao, which is really not something ordinary people can do.
Zheng Qiu's eyes narrowed slightly, standing in front of Wei Qiao, staring at his face tightly.
Wei Qiao's expression was calm, he bowed slightly, and did not look at him.
Zheng Qiu was annoyed in his heart, but he didn't want to lose his demeanor, pointed to the Yulin Army who was still waiting to shoot with bows and arrows behind him, and said coldly: "Then what's going on with them, you explain it to me, otherwise follow me to the palace!" ”
Wei Qiao's expression remained unchanged, and he said: "The elder of the pavilion thinks that he is asking the wrong person, the lower official said it, the lower official is now the reception envoy, and the rest has nothing to do with the lower official." ”
"You!" When Zheng Qiu heard this, he was suddenly angry, but soon, he suppressed his anger again, glanced at Wei Qiao coldly, turned to Sima Shengchang behind him and said, "You brought the person?" ”
Sima Shengchang had already prepared, and when he heard this, he hurriedly stood up, bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, Sima Shengchang, has seen Zheng Ge Lao. ”
Zheng Qiu looked indifferent and said, "I didn't ask who you are, I asked you who you brought these people?" ”
Sima Shengchang bowed, bowed his head and said, "Yes!" ”
Zheng Qiu said: "Then withdraw immediately!" ”
Sima Shengchang was stunned for a moment, and then hugged his fists and said: "Returning to the pavilion elder, the lower official is performing official duties, forgive me!" ”
"Hmph" Zheng Qiu snorted coldly and said, "My words are official business, I order you to withdraw everyone immediately now!" ”
"Hui Yu Pavilion Elder" Sima Shengchang did not move at all, and said a little tepidly: "These Huns are numerous and carry too many sharp weapons and weapons, and now Jinling is not peaceful, and the lower officials want to confiscate their weapons, and ask the cabinet elders to understand the difficulties of the lower officials." ”
Zheng Qiu's face sank, stared at Sima Shengchang and said, "What, my words don't work?" ”
Sima Shengchang quietly glanced at Wei Qiao, although he was calm on the surface, he was actually very nervous in his heart, after all, this is Zheng Ge Lao, or the queen's own family, if he offends, he will inevitably be put in small shoes in the future, and I am afraid it is more than that.
However, compared to Wei Qiao, that's another matter, after all, Wei Qiao is the son-in-law of the martial arts, which is their 'gang', and now he is his boss, so he naturally has to listen to him.
Zheng Qiu, who was waiting for Sima Shengchang to ask for guilt, heard a word that made him vomit blood, Sima Shengchang still held his fists and said, "Exactly." ”
"You ......" Zheng Qiu was suddenly furious, he was the elder of the pavilion and the queen's own family, he could bear Wei Qiao's push Tai Chi for him, but a kid who didn't know which one he ran out of dared to contradict him, it was a joke!
But without waiting for Zheng Ge Lao to finish speaking, Sima Shengchang continued: "Zheng Ge Lao, the Yulin Army is controlled by the general, and the others are irrelevant, don't talk about Ge Lao, even if it is Fu Shoufu, even if it is the collective opinion of the cabinet, our Yulin Army does not have to pay attention to it." Everything in the Yulin Army comes from the Holy Judge! ”
Zheng Qiu's face twitched, his brows were like swords, his eyes were wide open, and his heart was full of anger.
How dare this nobody contradict him! And a bunch of big truths smashed over and taught him a lesson.
However, he really couldn't refute it.
Although the Yulin Army is the official army guarding Jinling, it is essentially the private army of the royal family, and all the rights are in the palace.
Zheng Qiu's face was blue, and his eyes flashed with anger.
His face has never been so hot as it is today, and in front of a group of shrimp soldiers and crabs that he has never cared about will be taught a lesson by a small general of the Yulin Army, which is simply a great shame for him!
Wei Qiao pushed Tai Chi, Sima Shengchang didn't buy his account, at this time it stands to reason that he should throw his sleeves and turn around angrily and leave, and then find a way to retaliate and show the officials of the Jinling people that his Zheng Qiu's face is not so easy to sweep.
But he can't go, if he leaves, the old man's face will be lost!
Wei Qiao's treatment of the Xiongnu envoy in Zheng Qiu's opinion is undoubtedly digging his own grave, and he will definitely die, and now he doesn't know that many people have buried their heads at home to write impeachment memorabilia, and there will definitely be a good show to watch tomorrow morning.
But now the key is how he can maintain his current face, he must settle the matter in front of him, and he must also settle it beautifully!
Zheng Qiu looked at the two people in front of him with cold eyes, his face was pale, he suppressed the anger in his abdomen, and he kept thinking about countermeasures in his heart.
The Yulin Army is now basically under Wei Qiao's control, and he naturally knows about this. His nephew Zheng Tan has also been kicked out, although he is still hiding in the mansion, it is not the first time that the Yulin Army Yamen has gone to ask for someone. If Zheng Tan hadn't been caught, he could naturally have justifiably asked the emperor to tell Wei Qiao's black state, but now he could only pretend to be deaf and dumb. And now, Zheng Tan's original control of the people has been absorbed by several of Wei Qiao's subordinates, and he can't intervene at all. In other words, Sima Shengchang didn't buy his account, he was helpless at all, after all, the current person in charge of the Yulin Army was actually Wei Qiao, and he couldn't find anyone to help.
In other words, the current form is completely dependent on Wei Qiao's attitude.
Zheng Qiu's eyes flickered slightly, he naturally couldn't bow his head to Wei Qiao, he had to think of another way.
Zheng Qiu thought for a while, suddenly frowned, and then a self-deprecating wry smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Zheng Qiu looked at Wei Qiao and Sima Shengchang again, didn't say anything, put his hands behind his back, and closed his eyes lightly. Just standing there, not saying anything, not asking, wandering into the world.
Wei Qiao was stunned, and then looked at the one hundred and ten Huns at the gate of Taichang Temple, and sighed in his heart Sure enough, Jiang is old and spicy, this pavilion is old, there is no simple character.
Now that the arrow is on the line, do you shoot or not?
Shooting is to massacre the Hun envoys, not to mention whether the Huns will come in advance to commit a big attack, just talking about the court will not be able to pass this level. Don't, this is not a clear way to slap yourself in the face, and give it to others to beat?
Wei Qiao glanced at Zheng Qiu, who was there, smiled just after thinking about it, and said to Zheng Qiu: "I don't know what else Elder Zheng Ge commands?" The implication of this sentence is, Elder Zheng Ge, you should go.
Zheng Qiu, who was still a little secretly proud, changed his face when he heard this, and looked at Wei Qiao with slightly narrowed eyes.
Wei Qiao is a counter-general, Zheng Qiu, will he go or not?
goes, that is, he was sent away by a nobody with the respect of the elder, that is, he lost face and lost his prestige. If he doesn't leave, it's also a shame for him to stay here with a dead face, not to mention that this is still a junior who deliberately generals, but he still has to be cheeky to bear it.
He didn't admit that this junior, the junior he had never cared about, was a little smart.
Zheng Qiu glanced at Wei Qiao lightly, and said with a smile: "I'm going to talk to the Hun envoy later." ”
Zheng Qiu is also mixed up in officialdom, and this kind of small means is completely pediatric.
Wei Qiao also smiled, turned to Sima Shengchang and said, "Sima, the Huns have handed it over to you." ”
In fact, Wei Qiao said this sentence to Zheng Qiu, that is, this matter was done by Sima, and if something happens in the future, it will be Sima Kang, with the relationship between the Sima family and the martial arts, no one can do anything to him! After a few years, even in a different place, Sima Shengchang was still his soldier and his general, without a trace of influence.
That is, to tell Zheng Qiu, I, Weiqiao, can completely slaughter this group of Huns today, and when the matter is up to Sima to do Sima to resist, I can beat you Zheng Ge's face, and it is very loud.
Zheng Qiu's eyes narrowed slightly, looking at Sima Shengchang's slowly raised hand, and the coldness in his eyes flickered.
Obviously, what Wei Qiao said can be completely realized, if Sima Shengchang really slaughtered the Huns today, not only will he be beaten in the face, but he will also have more things to lose.
He came today not only to see Wei Qiao's jokes, but also to make a gesture, to make a gesture for those who have common interests.
