Chapter 274: An Unpleasant Meeting
Seeing the visitor, the corners of Yue Yang's mouth turned up slightly, and he strode up and said to the visitor with a smile: "Father-in-law Gao, I haven't seen you for a long time, but you make this official miss it so much!" ”
The person who came was tall, his eyebrows were sparse, his face was pale, and he always had an expression that others owed him 800 yuan and did not pay it back, and he looked very insecure.
Today's Gao Qiqian is different from that day, today's Gao Qiqian wears a dress intertwined with black, red and yellow eyes, this shoulder-length round neck, placket (right), wide sleeves (with water sleeves), the robe is long and foot, there is a "pendulum" under the sleeves, and the body is also embroidered with silver threads and colored velvet threads Jiangya sea water samples, Yue Yang looked at it for a long time before he could recognize it, and the feeling is still a python robe.
Gao Qiqian, who changed into a python robe, was very different from when he was wearing a blue eunuch costume that day, not only did he look more proud, but even he looked at people with his chin.
I saw Gao Qiqian snort softly from his nostrils, and said with a smile: "Yes, Lord Yue, no, let's meet again." Today, our family has brought an edict, so I will work hard for you, and kneel down to receive the order! ”
Looking at Gao Qiqian's appearance, Yue Yang laughed, and didn't distinguish from him, took the lead and knelt down on one knee and said, "Chen Yueyang takes the order!" ”
As Yue Yang knelt down, the old lady behind him, several daughters-in-law, and all the sergeants and servants also knelt down!
Looking at the kneeling people, Gao Qiqian was very proud in his heart for a while, and then took the vermilion lacquer gold plate dragon box from the hand of a little eunuch on the side, and took out a holy decree with a yellow silk dark dragon envelope and slowly unfolded it. Only then did he shake his head and read: "Fengtian carries the emperor, and the edict says: Slaves and thieves are in trouble with the country, the people are miserable, all my subjects are gnashing their teeth, the general of Zhenguo, the general of Shanbei Road, Yueyang Gong, is loyal to the country." He had followed the Xuanda Governor Lu Xiangsheng and had quite a lot of military exploits when he fought with the thieves and slaves, and he was very relieved, and ordered to be promoted to the rank of general of Fengguo, rewarded with two thousand taels of snowflakes and silver, and his subordinates were promoted to one level. ”
After Gao Qi finished his meditation, there was silence in the hall, and it remained the same after a while. Gao Qiqian lowered his head to look at it, and found that the people who were kneeling were exuding a mixture of puzzlement, confusion, and shame.
Gao Qiqian secretly sneered in his heart, and pretended to be indifferent: "Yue Yang." The decree has been read, so why don't you give thanks? ”
Yue Yang took a deep breath and forcibly suppressed those negative feelings in his heart, and then raised his head and said loudly: "Minister Yueyang is grateful!" ”
After speaking, Yue Yang didn't wait for Gao Qiqian to speak, he stood up by himself, and took the holy decree from his hand almost without waiting for Gao Qiqian to reflect.
"You...... You are bold! ”
Seeing Yue Yang's unreasonable appearance, Gao Qiqian was furious. What does this guy think this is? This is a holy decree, if you want to receive the holy decree, you have to kneel down respectfully, put your hands on top of your head, and wait for him, this angel will give it to him instead of the emperor. A person like him, who took the decree from the hands of the person who gave the decree in an almost rude way, had never seen it before, and I am afraid he had never even heard of it.
Seeing the high latent qi, the chest bulged and bulged. As if he hadn't seen it, Yue Yang picked up the holy decree and looked at it, and suddenly laughed: "It turns out that the holy decree is like this!" ”
After speaking, he casually handed the holy decree to Hai Lanzhu behind him: "Daughter-in-law." Put it away, this is the first holy decree our family has received, and it is still very commemorative, don't lose it. ”
Hai Lanzhu took the holy decree and looked at it. pursed his lips and smiled: "I know, I am locked in my cupboard, and I can't lose it!" ”
looked at Yue Yang and his wife as if there was no one around. Gao Qiqian was so angry that his lungs exploded, and the more than ten Ti Cavalry and Jing Ying sergeants standing behind him had always been used to being in the capital, and now seeing that a general in Yueyang did not take the emperor's will in his eyes so much, everyone couldn't help but be furious, and one of the Ti Cavalry led by him put his right hand on the handle of the embroidered spring knife at his waist.
Yue Yang suddenly said to Gao Qiqian: "Father-in-law Gao, what about the two thousand snowflakes and silver that the emperor rewarded me?" Why haven't I seen it? ”
Gao Qiqian glared at Yue Yang, his eyes almost spewing fire. Yue Yang looked like he was afraid that he would embezzle the silver that the emperor had awarded him.
Belch...... Well, although Gao Qiqian does have a covetousness for those two thousand taels of snowflake silver.
Gao Qiqian glared at Yue Yang, his nostrils shrunk and shrunk, like an angry old cow, he gritted his teeth and said, "Don't worry, our family hasn't put the two thousand taels of silver in our eyes yet!" The silver is behind us, so take it away! ”
Yue Yang looked behind Gao Qiqian and saw two large wooden boxes under the feet of more than a dozen cavalry and management sergeants, which were estimated to be boxes containing silver.
"That's good!" Yue Yang snorted, "Since Gonggong Gao doesn't have that mind, Dazhi, why don't you hurry up and bring someone to help Gonggong Gao, hurry up and bring the silver, so that Gonggong Gao is not safe with so much silver." ”
"Yes!"
Chen Dazhi replied loudly, walked over with five or six personal soldiers, and carried the two boxes of silver over without stopping for a moment, as if he was afraid that people would detain them. Seeing that the eyes of those brocade guards and management sergeants almost erupted with fire, as the pro-army of the Son of Heaven, how could they have experienced this kind of bird spirit, and the atmosphere began to solidify for a while.
Gao Qiqian was so angry that his lips trembled at first, and then he sneered: "Lord Yue is really majestic, our family has heard of it before coming to Shanxi, Lord Yue is a man of his word on the North Road of Shanxi, and he can be described as famous. ”
The faces of everyone in the hall couldn't help but change, Gao Qiqian's words can be described as heart-wrenching, the words of Jiuding are generally used to describe the emperor, and now Gao Qiqian is used to describe Yueyang, if it is passed out, I am afraid that Yueyang is yellow mud in the crotch of his pants, not is also.
But Yue Yang's reaction was even more unexpected, only to see him smile faintly: "Thank you for your praise from Gonggong Gao, it's rare for the Gonggong Guild to praise this official so much, and this official is really a little flattered." But before that, the official had something to ask Gonggong Gao, the last time the official led the troops to the expedition and captured more than 6,000 heads, I don't know when the court will reward the silver hair? ”
Hearing this, Gao Qiqian couldn't help but tone for a while, and then said with some annoyance: "You should ask the military department about the silver reward, our family is just an errand runner, where do you know these things." ”
"Oh...... I see. The small flame in Yue Yang's heart was getting bigger and bigger, and finally sneered: "In this way, if the official didn't say hello, it stands to reason that the official should come from afar to wash the dust for the father-in-law, but the official also knows that the father-in-law has a lot of nobles, so he won't leave the father-in-law here for lunch, and the father-in-law will go slowly, and he won't send it!" ”
"You...... You...... Good you Yueyang! ”
Speaking of this, Gao Qiqian couldn't hold back any longer, stretched out his orchid finger and pointed at Yue Yang, his fingers were already trembling. Generally speaking, the officials or eunuchs who leave the country to issue edicts represent the emperor, and the local officials treat them much worse than their own children. As long as these people come, don't say hello with good wine and food, you won't be embarrassed if you don't stuff someone with a thousand taels of silver.
But Yue Yang, after receiving the holy decree, he immediately turned his face, not to mention the red envelope, and he didn't even give people a sip of water.
However, Yue Yang also has his own ideas, since he made such a fuss in the capital, he knew that Chongzhen did not want to see him, so he said goodbye to Lu Xiangsheng and returned to Shanxi after driving Azig and others out of the customs.
But Yue Yang still has a trace of illusion in his heart, thinking that even if Chongzhen doesn't wait to see him again, he won't even give him a little affection, since he has made such a great contribution, he will give himself a decent reward if he says anything, and he should at least be promoted if he doesn't give out silver, but today's holy decree completely broke his illusions.
He led his troops to aid Gyeonggi, fought with the Qing soldiers for so long, annihilated thousands of enemies, and in the end, he only gave a consolation prize, and even gave only 2,000 snowflakes in silver. To be honest, this money is not enough for the food expenses of the army, not to mention the reward, he was originally the general of Zhenguo, from the second grade, and now he is promoted to the general of Fengguo or from the second grade, Chongzhen This is to burn newspapers on the grave to fool the ghost.
Yue Yang had no doubt that if something went wrong with him now, he would definitely send a large group of horsemen and cold handcuffs and leg cuffs, and his whole family would also be thrown into a prison car and escorted to Gyeonggi, waiting for his absolutely miserable end.
Since the matter has come to this point, Yue Yang is naturally not interested in sticking to his cold ass with a hot face.
Thinking of this, Yue Yang's eyes became more and more cold when he looked at Gao Qiqian: "Grandpa Gao, are you still in trouble?" If it's okay, please take care of yourself, this official still has official business, so I won't accompany you! ”
"Good...... Good! Now that he has torn his face, Gao Qiqian is no longer polite, he pointed at Yue Yang and sneered: "Lord Yue is really a great official, our family is considered to be a long-term knowledge, but don't be too proud." Lu Xiangsheng has now gone to Hubei to suppress bandits, and when the new governor of Xuanda takes office, the old man will see who else can protect you! ”
"The new Governor of Xuanda?" Yue Yang was slightly stunned, "Could it be that Governor Lu is not the governor of Xuanda?" ”
"Hahaha......" Seeing Yue Yang's slightly stunned expression, Gao Qiqian thought that Yue Yang was scared, laughed arrogantly, pointed at Yue Yang and laughed loudly: "Yue Yang, don't worry. We'll meet you again, but when we meet again, I hope you'll still be so rampant! ”
Speaking of this, Gao Qiqian laughed and walked out of the door...... (To be continued......)
