Chapter 794: Private Answers

Niu Jinsong frowned, in his opinion, there is nothing is the best result, and if there is something and it is wrapped in Huang Ayazi, let Gao Shiming sneakily go to see Wei Guogong, then it will definitely not be a good thing. The two generals also foresaw that it must be an extremely important thing here, and they didn't dare to open it privately, but they both stared at Niu Jinsong and waited for him to decide.

After thinking about it for a long time, Niu Jinsong took the scroll wrapped in imperial silk from the general hand, and then solemnly opened it slowly. After uncovering the imperial silk, the sealing mud was clearly visible, and with a little force in the hand, it burst out and fell off. He didn't know how he would unfold it, because even if he was not low in the Three Guards, he still had a natural fear of imperial power. In fact, the three of them had already seen that this must be a secret decree from the emperor.

And the content of the secret decree surprised Niu Jinsong. Niu Jinsong learned to read and write under the urging of Li Xin, and although the writing was still difficult, he could roughly recognize the content of the text. It was the content of these seven, seven, eight or eight that made Niu Jinsong frightened.

"Go, go and invite Li Da!"

Niu Jinsong originally subconsciously wanted to discuss with Mi Yan, but after a while, he realized that Mi Yan was presiding over the parade at the dock, so he could only find Li Da, who had been showing himself in a low-key manner. After a while, Li Da was invited over in a hurry.

"General Niu is so anxious and roaring, I don't know what's going on?"

Niu Jinsong is a first-hand witness from the Battle of Jinzhou, and he knows Li Da's details well and well. But he didn't despise this person because of this, because as far as he could see, even the Marquis of Zhenlu respected this person, and he himself did the same, although he was a little dismissive from the beginning, but it was always wrong to follow the pace of the Marquis of Zhenlu. Over time, Niu Jinsong and others gradually accepted this rather low-key Li Da.

"Mr. Li, come and see, what's written on this thing?"

Niu Jinsong can't identify it all after all, he wants to invite a scholar to take a closer look, and after thinking about it, only Li Da, who is deeply aware of the identity of the secretary of the Hou Zhen, is the most suitable.

Sure enough, Li Da only glanced at the secret decree a few times and exclaimed: "Where did General Niu get this thing?" ”

Niu Jinsong's subordinate was quick to speak, "It was found from Gao Shiming's clothes changed by the old miscellaneous hair." This guy was going to secretly meet with Wei Guogong just now, but General Niu had sent someone to keep an eye on him secretly, otherwise, he wouldn't have found out that this guy had bad intentions! ”

Niu Jinsong glared at the boss and nodded to Li Da, "What he said is roughly not bad, what does Mr. Li have in mind?" ”

Li Da didn't answer immediately, but looked at the two who were standing there, waiting to hear the result. Niu Jinsong immediately understood, and drove them out with a wave of his hand, "You two go to the door and watch, no one is allowed to come in without my order!" ”

The two generals went out with great dissatisfaction, and there were obviously brothers from the pro-barracks outside, how could they let irrelevant people in. However, complaining is complaining, they dare not slack off, the military law of the Three Guards is very strict, and no one is willing to defy the law.

"General Niu, this is Emperor Chongzhen's secret decree to Xu Hongji, the Duke of Wei!"

Li Da's voice was extremely light, but it fell on Niu Jinsong's ears like a drum, and a heart had already been raised to his throat. I only heard Li Da continue: "Xu Wei Guogong has the right to arbitrarily decide on the spot, if he thinks that the marquis of Zhenju has bad intentions or does illegal things, he can detain the upper and lower parts and confiscate his military power......"

In Li Da's title to Zhu Youzhen, there has never been a word from the perspective of a courtier like the emperor or the saint, at most it is Emperor Chongzhen, which certainly expresses his disdain for the Ming Emperor, but it is more of a statement that he is not subordinate to Zhu Youzhen, and the only person he surrenders to is Li Xin.

The military tent was terrible for a moment, as if even the air was about to freeze, Niu Jinsong took the emperor's secret decree from Li Da's hand, re-wrapped it with the emperor's silk, and put it back into Gao Shiming's clothes in the wooden box, and then closed the wooden box with a bang, and picked up the pressing lock spring of the copper lock machinery that fell on the ground, and locked the copper lock.

"What is General Niu going to do?"

Li Da suddenly asked, Niu Jinsong suddenly responded, in a voice that was almost gritted and squeezed out: "I know that I am not enough, but since the Marquis of Zhenyu has entrusted him with the responsibility of a secret agent, he has to work together, and Gao Shiming's ill-intentioned intentions are already a sure thing." Just in case, I think that when Gao Shiming's old miscellaneous hair is wiped off the coercive means immediately, on the other hand, I can't let go of any of the small miscellaneous hairs he brought. ”

"General Niu must not be like this!" After hearing Niu Jinsong's plan, Li Da stopped him in surprise. "To put it mildly, for the Marquis of Zhenyu, for our three guards, Gao Shiming is the last fig leaf with the Ming Court, and it must not be easily torn apart."

Niu Jinsong smashed his fist on several cases beside him, and said hatefully: "Why is the emperor so confused, the Marquis of Zhenyu has worked hard for his Zhu family, but in exchange for this result, how can this kind of means not make people's hearts cold?" Sometimes I think about it, I don't know why I'm still working for this bullshit court, and in the end, I even let people sell their lives! ”

After venting, Niu Jinsong's mood seemed to improve a little, and then he stabilized his mind and asked, "Then what do you say?" Pretend you don't know anything? ”

Li Da shook his head, "That's not appropriate. Based on Li Da's observation of that Gao someone, this person is not a stupid person, let him know that the secret decree has been known by our Three Guards, see how he responds, the general only needs to send people to keep a close watch all the time! ”

"It's still not appropriate, that secret decree is a deadly thing, if it falls into the hands of those who want to be hostile to the Hou Hou, it will be a life-threatening sword!" Niu Jinsong suddenly changed his mind again, picked up the case on a few cases, and planned to open the copper lock and take out the secret letter.

At this time, Li Da took a step forward and gently put his hand on Niu Jinsong's right arm.

"The general is slow, why don't you see how Gao Shiming reacts, and it's not too late to do it, otherwise you will tear your face with it at this moment, and it will be difficult to recover!"

"That's not okay, that's also walking, no matter what, it's breathtaking!" Niu Jinsong was a little impetuous, obviously the secret decree touched him a lot, after all, the imperial thinking has penetrated into his bone marrow, if he saw this secret decree before the Battle of Jinzhou, he was afraid that the sky would fall. It wasn't until the army went south and gradually let go of many things that seemed to be rebellious in the past, that it gradually changed. But Rao is like this, and he is so suspicious of the emperor that Niu Jinsong really feels that it is not worth it for the marquis.

"No wonder Mr. Mi has set up another door for the town early in the morning, and now it seems that the most poisonous person is still a scholar! We martial artists are all soft-hearted, indecisive pedantic people. ”

Mi Yan has always been known for his intolerance in the Three Guards, and many people felt that he was stimulated in the north, so his temperament intensified, but now it seems that this has to be said to be a manifestation of the situation. Mi Yan had made several suggestions to Li Xin, instigating several major feudal kings to rebel against the imperial court, so that the Three Guards could reap the benefits of fishermen in Nanjing, which even Li Da strongly agreed, but Li Xin did not approve at that time.

"Why is General Niu frustrated? Isn't this just the right way to make the Marquis change his ways? He didn't have anything else to say this time, did he? Then he muttered again, "But the handling of this Gao Shiming should be slow rather than urgent, if this person can be open and honest, it would be great!" In this way, this crisis can also be eliminated. ”

"Mr. Li said it easily, those eunuchs have always been treacherous and greedy, as early as Taiyuan, they were always like blood-sucking mosquitoes and flies, annoying people, I really don't know what the use of keeping him is." However, Niu Jinsong said that the movements in his hands finally stopped, obviously agreeing with Li Da's statement.

"Good! According to Mr. Li's intentions, let's take a look at Gao Shiming's old miscellaneous hair? If he is obsessed, he will be ruthless. But there is one thing, Mr. Li must not inform the marquis of the town first, otherwise in case the marquis of the town is soft-hearted...... Alas......"

In the end, Niu Jinsong didn't seem to be able to continue, and only let out a long sigh. Li Da smiled and said nothing, in this regard, Niu Jinsong asked angrily: "What are you laughing again?" Am I wrong? ”

Li Da nodded, and shook his head again, "General Niu is right, and he is wrong!" ”

Niu Jinsong said dissatisfiedly: "You're here to entertain me again?" What is it right or wrong? Right is right, wrong is wrong! ”

In the face of Niu Jinsong's rude tone, Li Da smiled instead of anger, and patiently explained: "There is no doubt that General Niu is loyal and brave, but if you think about it, how can you gather so many heroes by his side?" ”

Niu Jinsong had never thought about Li Da's question, and even felt that it was a natural thing to follow the Marquis of Zhenyu, but today he was suddenly picked out, and he didn't know how to answer it for a while. It is true that from the very beginning, it was indeed just to eat a bite of food and survive. But as time passed, this need has long been replaced by an inexplicable reason, just let him say it concretely, but it is foggy and I don't know why.

Seeing Niu Jinsong stammering, Li Da laughed again: "The marquis of Zhenyu treats people with generosity and remembers people with old feelings, which is one of the fundamental reasons why you and I can follow him with all my heart." If the Marquis of Zhenyu is a black-hearted, mercenary, and murderous character without blinking, what is the difference between him and Huang Chao and Zhu Wen's generation? Sooner or later, Eli will be divided by profit. ”

It is true that the Marquis of Zhenju has always been generous to others, and Li Da's words seem to be reasonable, but he always feels that something is wrong, and he can't say why for a while. only instinctively retorted:

"Be generous, remember the old and not fake, indecisiveness is not what a man should have......" Speaking of this, Niu Jinsong suddenly closed his mouth, and he suddenly realized that his words were very rebellious.
