Chapter 110: Lu Jiu's Rebellion?
After Zhu Youzhen earnestly admonished him, he told Li Xin that if there were any difficulties, just bring them up. Li Xin thought about it and only made one request.
"Hooray, grass people...... The minister only asks for long live Yunchen to take the three hundred old colleagues from Gaoyang all the way to Jingshi! ”
Seeing that Li Xin thought solemnly for a long time, Zhu Youzhen was still a great difficulty, and mobilizing hundreds of people was just a matter of a few words, so he nodded in person.
"Datong Mansion is the gateway to the three passes outside the Jingshi, and the three guards of the town are the most important of them, especially the town guards are almost destroyed, and the treasury is empty and there is no money to come up, I will allocate 100,000 taels of silver to you from the inside......"
The emperor's persuasion was as if he were pointing out his own brothers, which made Li Xin inexplicably favored. The emperor is so gracious, if he had changed the people in the world, I am afraid that he would have been moved to tears and was sincerely afraid. But after all, Li Xin is from the 21st century, and he has never been influenced by the idea of imperial power, so he is not very deeply touched by this, and he only feels that Zhu Youzhen suddenly became so distracted, and he was a little at a loss.
What surprised Li Xin even more was that Zhu Youzhen actually promised to allocate 100,000 taels of silver from his own internal money at one time. In his impression, Zhu Youzhen should be an extremely picky iron rooster. According to historical records, until the death of the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Chongzhen's internal money amounted to as much as 10 million taels of silver, when the treasury was empty, the war was short of silver, and the relief of the victims was also short of silver, as the emperor, he was still reluctant to take out these private money to emergency.
Li Xin didn't understand why Zhu Youzhen's attitude towards him had changed so much, but he could feel his undisguised trust and value. Then the little eunuch came to Li Xin with a long and narrow wooden plate in his hand. Zhu Youzhen said with a smile: "The treasure knife is given to the hero, see if this Yanling knife can be combined?" ”
Li Xin was surprised once again that the emperor actually gave him a treasure sword!
"Thank you, Lord Ron!"
……
It was already dark outside, so Zhu Youzhen stretched his waist and waved his hand.
"Go back and rest early, get ready to leave tomorrow, give you three days, and go to work immediately!"
The little eunuch came to Li Xin in small steps and led him out of the hall.
"General Li, please come with us!"
As the door of the Wenhua Hall slowly closed, through the narrower and narrower crack of the door, Zhu Youzhen was hidden in the dim candlelight, and the pitch-black hall seemed to be indescribably cold, only the vague shadows reflected on the wall suddenly swayed......
Li Xin suddenly gave birth to a trace of sympathy, even if the emperor in the world is in hand? Like Zhu Youzhen, who works day and night, in the end, he may not be able to get back the result he wants, how sad it is. On the contrary, it is not as ordinary as ordinary people, after a hard day, you can enjoy the short-term warmth of the family gathering around the dinner table in the evening.
Out of Donghua Gate, Li Xin went straight to the Yamen of the Jingying Admiral to find Fang Zhenghua, and first implemented Lu Jiu's affairs in his heart, but the news he got made his heart half cold. According to Fang Zhenghua, due to the rebellion of displaced people outside Gyeonggi, the Wucheng Soldiers and Horses Division sent hundreds of people to exterminate them, but they were beaten to the ground, and finally Shuntianfu had to borrow troops from Jingying and asked Lu Jiu and his subordinates by name. Just half an hour earlier, they had just left the city.
Li Xin asked Lu Jiu and the others when they could return to the city to die, and Fang Zhenghua pondered for a while before shaking his head and said, "At least three or five days, and at most half a month is unknown." Knowing that General Li was interested in Lu Jiu, Fang Mou pushed down the request of Shuntianfu. ”
It's too late to say anything now, although the emperor promised him that he could transfer Lu Jiu, but he can't go to him again because of this little thing, right?
Fang Zhenghua saw Li Xin's disappointed face and persuaded: "General Li, don't worry, the soldiers in the Beijing camp are up to you, it's better to go on the road first, and when your brother comes back, Fang will catch him again." ”
The emperor ordered him to prepare to set off in three days, the schedule was indeed urgent, Fang Zhenghua said this part, what more non-point request could he make, so he had to thank Fang Zhenghua and prepare to leave.
Suddenly, a little eunuch came in at a trot, and when he saw Li Xin, he was stunned at first, and then ran to Fang Zhenghua's side, muttering in his ear for a while, Li Xin saw Fang Zhenghua's complexion change several times, and said in his heart, could it be that something big happened again?
Fang Zheng got up and confessed to Li Xin.
"Fang is in military affairs, and General Li is also asked to take care of it."
Li Xin didn't understand that this was Fang Zhenghua sending off guests, but he said it very politely. Although I was curious about what was going on, I didn't want to ask rashly, so I had to leave.
It was pitch black on the long street, the curfew had begun, and he didn't have to worry about the inspection of the patrol soldiers since he had the waist card of the East Factory. However, after only walking less than a mile, he had already galloped past three horse teams, and something big must have happened.
It is better to have more than one thing, and it is better to hurry back to the Taiji factory, and after resting, I will start to prepare for leaving Beijing tomorrow. But halfway to the road, as soon as his mind turned, he rode his horse straight to the south of the inner city, went straight to Dongjiang Rice Lane, and came to the door of the street house that begged for wine and venison that day, got off the horse and grabbed the crack of the door panel and worried about it for a long time, only then did he confirm that the house was indeed empty.
originally thought that the little brother Huang was just a rich boy who met by chance, but he didn't expect that the chance encounter after the attack that night would also implicate him in the conspiracy against him. However, after thinking about it later, things may not be exactly as he thought, and there are many doubts in many places, especially his ability to destroy the scene without knowing it, which is not simple for him alone, and his identity is becoming more and more mysterious.
But at least one thing Li Xin is sure of, then Huang Xiaodi may not have malicious intentions towards himself. Li Xin was stunned for a while, and led the horse slowly into the depths of the alley, not noticing that a pair of alert eyes were staring at him around the corner.
There was nothing to say all night, and someone knocked on the door before dawn the next day, Li Xin finally didn't have to get up early, he wanted to sleep lazily but didn't expect to be stirred up again, so he was angry in his heart, and rushed to open the door angrily to vent, but he couldn't send it when he saw someone coming.
"Why did Gao Gong disturb people's dreams so early?"
The person who came was Gao Keng, and he saw that he had a worried face, and said hurriedly: "Why is General Li still sleeping on his pillow, something is wrong!" ”
"What happened?"
Gao Keng didn't wait for Li Xin to invite him, he entered the courtyard when he saw that there was no one left and right, tied the door, and pulled Li Xin into the main room, and then said softly: "Our family ran out of the air, can there be a man named Lu Jiu in the general's old department?" ”
Li Xin was stunned for a moment, and his heart was inexplicably tight, didn't Lu Jiu have an accident? Immediately nervous.
"It's Li Xin's subordinates, who were seconded by Shuntianfu to go out of the city to suppress bandits last night when they heard what Admiral Fang said."
Gao Keng's face was worried, and he patted his thigh.
"Oh, it's him, it's a big disaster! Last night, the people of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division said that Lu Jiu and his people rebelled as soon as they left the capital, and injured dozens of people from the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, and they were defeated and retreated. This time, I'm afraid that the general will also be implicated. ”
What the? Li Xin was stunned by Gao Keng's words, he didn't expect the water in Jingshi to be so deep, Lu Jiu had no reason to rebel at all, and the only reasonable explanation was that someone framed him. So, who is the person behind the framing of himself?
Li Xin went through Yang Sichang, Xue Guoguan, Gao Shiming and others in his mind, and felt that they were all suspicious and unreasonable. Gao Shiming is not on good terms with himself because he naturally stands on Cao Huachun's side, and it is a bit far-fetched to say that he can put in such a big effort against himself. As for Xue Guoguan, there is no reason to go against himself at all.
So who else did he want to miss? For a while, Li Xinxin was in a mess, and he couldn't figure it out. Gao Keng saw Li Xin's daze, thinking that he was worried about the future, so he comforted her.
"Don't worry about the general, Banzai learned about this, and only said not to implicate the general, which shows that Banzai still believes in the general's loyalty, don't act rashly. Yes, it's almost, our family has to leave, the palace is still waiting for a reply, the general has a mental preparation. ”
As soon as Gao Keng walked with his front foot, he heard a crowd slamming the door outside. Before Li Xin could open the door, the door was kicked open. More than 10 brocade guards rushed in, embroidered spring knives out of the sheath one by one, the momentum was violent, and the comers were not good.
One of the leaders-like people said in a strange manner: "General Li, please take it!" ”
At the critical moment, of course, Li Xin couldn't admit it, and leaned against the door of the main room, and behind the door was the Qinci Yanling knife he was standing there. "I don't know what happened to a few people who came suddenly?"
The brocade guard laughed.
"Don't ask knowingly, it's better to go with your brother obediently, otherwise the sons and daughters will inevitably hurt the general."
Li Xin sneered: "I am the governor of the three guards appointed by the emperor, what credentials do you have to dare to arrest me!" After that, he reached out and grabbed the handle of Yanling's knife standing at the door and pulled it out hard, but when he saw the cold light flashing in the courtyard, the people in the courtyard were afraid for no reason.
"Long live the Yanling knife here, who dares to be presumptuous!"
Jin Yiwei didn't expect Li Xin to dare to fight with a knife, and he used the Yanling knife given by the emperor, and he couldn't help but be short of breath.
At the moment of stalemate, there was another commotion outside, and the horses neighed.
"The soldiers and horses of the five cities captured the rebel generals, and no one else should hide away from Lao Tzu."
With the rustling of armor and heavy footsteps, there were several more soldiers in iron armor in the courtyard, making the already crowded courtyard almost nowhere to stay. When the leader saw the leader of the brocade guard, there was no contempt on his expression.
"Isn't this Zhang Zhen's envoy? Soldiers and horses, you better dodge a little, so as not to hurt the innocent! ”
Jinyiwei, who was called Zhang Zhen's envoy, suddenly became popular, although Jinyiwei was not treated by the emperor when he arrived in the Chongzhen Dynasty, and he was a man with his tail between his legs, but the camel that died was bigger than the horse, and the soldiers and horses who caught thieves and thieves dared to ride on their necks to, which was unbearable.
"This person, I, Zhang Liang, have been arrested today, but I want to see who dares to hurt the innocent!"
