Chapter 187: Who's Getting Off the Horse
On November 23 of the first year of Chongzhen, Zhao Lie received a notice from the Jinghai Guard Office at the Shidao Official Office, and three days later, the commander Chang Runing arrived, and the chief officers of the Thousand Households of each Thousand Households went to the Jinghai Acropolis to greet him.

Zhao Lie was very interested in Chang Runing's moves to Shidao after taking office, and he was also full of expectations for the first officialdom infighting he experienced after coming to Daming.
Two days later, Zhao Lie, Li Mingyu, Zhao Da, Yu Dabao and more than 100 guards set off from Shidao to Jinghaiwei.
From Shidao to Jinghaiwei Acropolis, equivalent to from east to west in the territory of Jinghaiwei, Zhao Lie and others are fully clothed, riding horses, along the way they see the gray and yellow fields exposed after the ice and snow melt, and the dirty remnants of the ice and snow stars are scattered among them, showing the roughness and desolation of the northern fields.
The cavalry trotted forward, and the scattered military households encountered on the road avoided the side of the road in awe, Zhao Lie and others had a clear contrast with the ragged clothes of the military households, looking at the miserable situation of the main beggar army of the Ming Dynasty, Zhao Lie also complained, the situation of the Ming military households is not the worst, only worse.
In the middle of the Shen Shi of the same day, the cavalry arrived at the dilapidated Jinghai Acropolis, covered in armor, and the cavalry of more than 200 war horses entered the northern city under the stunned gaze of the beggar soldiers guarding the gate, and rested in the Fan Ji Inn in the north of the city.
For Fan Ji, who now relies on Shidao a lot, this is a big deal, Fan Ji personally entertained the big shopkeeper in Jinghai Acropolis, and let a group of people go to the backyard to settle down, and did not dare to slack off.
Zhao Lie and the others cleaned up, washed off the dust, and waited for tomorrow to go to the official office to order.
Li Mingyu quietly went to the mansion of Wu Hai, the commander of the same person, under the escort of more than ten people, and presented a hundred taels of silver, hoping to bring more in the future. Chengyi Zhao Lie of the annual festival. Li Mingyu has never fallen. The shot was extremely generous, spending a thousand taels of silver on Wu Hai's body every year.
Wu Hai, who is in charge of Tuntian and the official treasury, also never interferes in the affairs of Shidao and gets along happily. This time, Wu Hai accepted it as usual, and Li Mingyu agreed with him that Wu Hai would definitely inform him in advance about the matters related to Zuo Qianhu.
Li Mingyu then went to the mansion of the outgoing commander Liao Cheng and presented a hundred taels of silver, which made Liao Cheng, who had recently felt that the cars in front of him were scarce. Compared with other people who tend to be inflammatory, this young Zhao Lie is really exquisite.
So Liao Cheng said a meaningful word, the storm is coming.
Liao Cheng had a hunch that this transfer was not simple with his many years of career in the palace, and his efforts to transfer to other rich places almost failed, and suddenly the peak turned around, and I heard that someone wanted his position, so who would care so much about the dilapidated Jing Haiwei, and even help him transfer, they must be eyeing something, then there is only Shidao.
Everything about Stone Island didn't pay attention to him for the first few years. However, as the stone island spreads bigger and bigger. Of course he got the news, and he was quite red after sending someone to investigate, Zhao Lie was just a hairy boy who had not dried up and had not been put in his eyes, but Zhao Haiming behind Zhao Lie He was really jealous.
In his eyes, the generals who can go into battle to kill Jiannu are all fierce generals, Zhao Haiming did it twice, if he was not trapped in the water division, I am afraid that it is possible to be promoted to the commander of Denglai or Denglai Dusi, such a general must have raised a large number of fierce soldiers who can fight habitually, and it is very unwise to anger him.
However, this time Liao Cheng saw that some people couldn't help it, the grievances between the Yang family and the Zhao family are now well known in Denglai, but he can't afford to offend the people of Du Sizhong, so he ordered Li Mingyu, as for whether they wake up or not, it's not his business, he thinks he is also worthy of Zhao Lie.
Zhao Lie got Li Mingyu's Tongbing, of course, he understood the meaning, but now he can only respond to all changes with the same and wait for the new commander to make Chang Runing make a move.
At the beginning of noon on the second day, Liao Cheng, Wu Hai and other Acropolis generals and the five thousand households of the Qianhu Office waited for the new commander Chang Runing at the Acropolis Commander's Office.
Chang Runing, accompanied by Wang Guan, the commander of the capital, and more than 50 family guards came down to the Acropolis official office. If it weren't for Liao Cheng's face, everyone would have been out for miles.
Zhao Lie was also in the queue of more than ten generals who knelt down, and in Chang Runing's voice, Zhao Lie got up with everyone after saluting, and he took a closer look at the new boss who was over fifty years old.
I saw that he was tall and thin, his hair was gray, his appearance was dignified, and he was quite dignified, at this time, Chang Runing felt that someone was watching him, and when he looked around, he saw a tall, dark-skinned young Qianhu in official clothes looking at him with a smile.
This should be Zhao Lie, Chang Runing, who has heard a little about Zhao Lie, of course recognizes him, and there is only one military general with such a good appearance here.
Chang Runing sorted out his mood, smiled and greeted Liao Cheng who came forward, the two officialdom veterans greeted each other with a smile on their faces, and then entered the official office together, and the other generals waited outside the official hall for the two bigwigs to pass on each other.
The kung fu of the meal, the escort of the army will enter, Chang Runing sits in the main position behind the middle case, and Liao Cheng accompanies him on the side, symbolizing the completion of the intersection of rights, of course, in the next few days, there will be the handover of the treasury, account books, acres, soldiers and other matters, however, from this moment on, the master of Jinghaiwei is Chang Runing.
Commander Wu Hai, commander Liu Biao, commander Huo Gushan, commander Wang Dong, Zhenfu Tang Liang and others stepped forward to see one by one, and then the owners of each thousand households will meet one by one, and finally, well, it is Zhao Lie, who is the tallest, strongest and youngest.
"Zhao Lie, a thousand households in the left thousand households, pay a visit to the adults." Zhao Lie knelt down.
Chang Runing did not echo for a while, the hall was strangely calmed down, and everyone greeted him, Chang Runing returned the salute with a smile, showing the demeanor of the elderly, but at this time there was no speech for a while, everyone was strange, but no one peeked, they were all looking at the eyes, nose, nose, and heart, and they were all looking at each other.
"Get up, Lord Zhao," Chang Runing's voice finally came, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and the atmosphere was relaxed.
Zhao Lie got up, patted the dust on his knees, and turned to retreat.
Everyone was stunned for a while, and the officialdom knelt down and stood up, and whoever dared to slap the dust on the spot would only slap it after retreating, otherwise it would be a crime of disrespect. But this is not explicitly stated. But it is the convention of officialdom. Zhao Lie's behavior is equivalent to a slap in the face in public.
Chang Runing's face, which has always been full of spring breeze, twitched at this time, but this is a conventional thing, you can't have a seizure in public because of this, it seems that your qi is narrow, and you can only make up for it later, Chang Runing's face was full of frost for a while.
Several thousand households next to Zhao Lie hurriedly dodged to the side, lest they get too close and anger Chang Runing. Xindao, one Yanei, one Shangguan, the two of you don't hurt the pond fish.
Zhao Lie stood solemnly in place, staring straight ahead, as if he wanted to see through the opposite wall, the problem was that his gaze was fundamentally different from Chang Runing's, which made outsiders look like he was completely ignoring Shangguan and unruly.
Chang Runing felt for a moment that his head was splitting with headaches, but he didn't expect him to give Zhao Lie a dismount. The first is to cause coercion on Zhao Lie, and the second is to let the people who are closer to Zhao Lie in the guard station know how to walk away. Isolated Zhao Lie, but he didn't expect this Yanei to have a seizure on the spot, showing his stubborn nature, and slapped his face on the spot, making Chang Runing unable to get off the stage by himself, and he was extremely embarrassed for a while.
Liao Cheng also smacked his tongue secretly, fortunately he was not blinded by the money and made a move to the Zhao family, otherwise Chang Runing's embarrassment and embarrassment would have happened to him a long time ago.
"Lord Chang, all of your colleagues in Jinghaiwei have already seen it, and I will set up a reception banquet with you in the Wanghai Restaurant in the city, talk about my heart, and ask Lord Liao not to shirk." Liao Cheng spoke out to break the cold winter that can fight indoors and outdoors.
"Yes, Lord Chang, Lord Liao, today's banquet is to pick up the wind and wash the dust of Lord Chang, and the second is to see off Lord Liao, I hope the two adults will appreciate their faces." The veteran Wu Hai continued, and everyone echoed for a while.
"Well, since all my colleagues have been invited, I will be cheeky to go." Chang Runing loosened the taut flesh and squeezed out a little smile, no longer talking and laughing proudly.
"Go together, go together." Liao Cheng smiled professionally.
A group of people waited to go out under the leadership of the two adults, and walked towards Wanghai Restaurant surrounded by the guards of their respective families.
Wu Hai, as the highest-ranking among the remaining generals, led the way first, and Zhao Lie fell last under the sanitation of more than 100 guards.
At this time, everyone took a closer look at Zhao Lie's guards and smacked their tongues, Zhao Lie's guards were in iron armor, their whole bodies were draped, their movements were neat, they were full of energy, their eyes swept around, and they were very alert.
Look at everyone's family again, it can only be said that the big red fat jacket is very neat, and there are few patches, after all, they are all the cronies of the generals, but the armor is varied, most of them are leather armor, cotton armor, and only a few iron armor. Everyone's eyes were hot, but thinking about the silver coins that this Yanei sprinkled in Shidao Bay, these iron armors were not so dazzling.
Chang Runing was also taken aback when he saw Zhao Lie's guards, such a fully armed elite family member had not seen it for many years, this spirit spirit had only been seen under Qi Ye in the past, which showed the status of this Ya Nei in Zhao Haiming's heart, and arranged such an elite around the second son, it seems that he regarded him as the heir of the family.
Chang Runing heard that his eldest son was sick and couldn't be on an errand, if he moved Zhao Lie in the future, I am afraid that this commander would have to work hard, but now Chang Runing is already difficult to ride a tiger, and can only run one way to the dark.
A group of people came to Wanghailou, the restaurant has already cleared, specially received all the generals, there are many people, everyone sat in the hall of the restaurant and set up a few tables, for a while the sky flies, the ground walks, and all kinds of dishes swim in the sea are served on the table like flowing water.
Liao Cheng first delivered a speech to welcome Chang Runing, Chang Runing returned the salute and thanked him, and at the same time wished Liao Cheng a smooth journey, and then everyone began to toast the two chiefs, which is a case in officialdom, and the two of them are also slightly lip touching with each other, which means that the subordinates are pouring a glass of wine and do not dare to slack off.
When the last Zhao Lie stepped forward, Liao Cheng shied off the poor amount of alcohol and made it clear that he would not give face, Zhao Lie didn't care, put the wine glass in his hand aside, then poured another glass of wine, and arched his hand, "Lord Liao, I don't know when we will meet in Linqing, Zhao Lie hereby wishes the Lord a smooth journey and a high rise step by step." ”
There was no noise in the banquet, there was silence in the hall, I relied on it, put aside the wine that was given to Chang Runing, even if Chang didn't drink, as a subordinate, he would drink to win, this, this was a face to Chang on the spot.
Liao Cheng also smiled bitterly, but he didn't care much about Chang Runing's face immediately, so he took the wine glass and took a sip and gave Zhao Lie face.
Zhao Lie turned around and returned to his seat, the reception banquet at this time completely changed its taste, the warm atmosphere was completely gone, the atmosphere became cold, Chang Runing's face was pale, everyone was eating and drinking carefully, and the banquet ended in such a stumbling atmosphere.
