Chapter 257: The Mysterious Brocade Box

Zhang Jizhi: "Could it be that the emperor still can't trust us?" ”

Li Desheng immediately shook his head in denial, exhaled, and said loudly: "You are all wrong!" The purpose of reorganizing the army is to improve combat effectiveness and strengthen command, just like this Regiment Commander Li, battlefield disobedience is commonplace, although you have won the battle, but if you lose, you may say that you have a cheap life, and you don't care about life and death, but because you alone affect the overall victory or defeat, your approach is naΓ―ve. ”

Li Huzi's face was slightly red, and he was unconvinced: "With the two blows of the Qing army, no matter how you fight, you will win!" ”

Li Desheng said: "Our opponent this time is the Russians, but it is not like the soft persimmon like the Qing army, the Fourth Army suffered a big loss, the regiment commander did not have an order, attacked without authorization, and the whole army was annihilated, the result was that the commander of a group army was dismissed, and now he was sent to Europe to study, your head Li will compare his heart to heart, you say that Chen Dashuai is not wronged, he achieved the position of the marshal at the age of eighteen, the future is bright, and it is certain to be a marquis and worship the prime minister, just because ......of this defeat."

Li Huzi lowered his head and choked up: "Dashuai, I know that I was wrong, don't say it, that regiment commander is my brother, we are sorry for Chen Dashuai!" ”

Li Desheng said: "Don't hide it from you, the emperor has issued an order to kill without mercy!" ”

"What! No mercy! Many generals jumped up and glared at Li Desheng.

Zhang Jizhi's face was discouraged, and he smiled bitterly: "This is what we asked for, it's not about the handsome!" ”

Li Desheng arched his hand and said: "Luo Dashuai expected this day at the beginning, and asked me to take good care of you, today I am here to fulfill my promise, and everyone can trust me." Come out with me, and die. I die before you! ”

Zhang was overjoyed and bowed his hand and said, "My lord is righteous." The last will admire! ”

"The handsome and righteous will be admired by the general!" Li Huzi and others complimented in unison.

In the north of Tongzhou City, a temporary camp, surrounded by elite guards, three layers inside and three layers outside, the water around the big tent is impassable, and after a while, with the shouting in the tent. The soldiers automatically gave way to a path.

Outside the big tent, Li Xiucheng, Tan Shaoguang, Li Chunfa and others sat side by side, Ye Lian, Liu Cai, Lin Fengxiang, Li Kaifang and other army commanders could only sit below, and Huang Zaixing, Cheng Xueqi and other division commanders could only stand on both sides.

"The handsome man has an order! Spread Zhang Jizhi and others! ”

As the guards shouted, Li Desheng, Zhang Jizhi and other generals above the regimental level slowly approached.

Li Xiucheng waved his hand and said softly: "Come on, take it!" ”

Dozens of guards stepped forward in an instant, one for each of them, and tied their hands behind their backs with ropes.

Li Desheng stepped forward. said to Li Xiucheng and others: "Please give me a face, temporarily surround their lives, I will go to Beijing to ask the emperor to be light!" ”

Tan Shaoguang showed embarrassment and said loudly: "Forgive me, general." The emperor has come down to kill without forgiveness order, you do this, we are really embarrassed! ”

Li Xiucheng smiled. also said: "These gangs are all from mountain bandits, why should the general destroy his future for them!" ”

Li Chunfa also advised: "The general thinks twice. You've made His Majesty angry, you're doing it. Isn't it self-defeating! ”

Hearing that several marshals had the intention of correcting them on the spot, Zhang Jizhi and the others looked terrified, and looked at Li Desheng together, and Kong Jie even begged out loud: "Li Dashuai!" You said you wanted to save us! You must save us! ”

Zhang Jizhi turned around and said angrily: "Shut up!" Do you really want the handsome to die for us! Life and death are life and wealth, when I first joined the Han army, no one knew what would happen to Lu Dao, so I should ...... Treat us as if we were already dead on the battlefield! ”

Li Desheng just looked at Li Xiucheng and the others, smiling and silent, he had nothing to worry about at this time.

Li Xiucheng, Li Chunfa and others glanced at each other, feeling troubled, Li Desheng was their old commander, and he took good care of them back then.

Li Xiucheng said: "This ...... Captain, old leader! You are our old leader, your business is our business, we can agree to anything else, but this matter can't! If we let them go, we'll hurt you! ”

Li Desheng smiled: "Needless to say, I have made up my mind!" The gentleman is quick to say, and I must do what I promised Luo Outline! ”

"Captain Luo!"

Li Xiucheng and others were shocked again, Luo Outline was also their old boss, when the uprising, Luo Outline and Li Desheng were the emperor's right and left hands, pioneers, they were under the leadership of the two regiment commanders, and they could make war exploits, which is a lifelong thing.

Li Chunfa said: Since this is the case, let's plead with the emperor together, there is a way to do not blame the public, and the emperor will definitely forgive them! β€œ

Everyone knows that Li Chunfa is a member of the imperial family, and the cousin of the emperor Li Yunzhong naturally speaks differently, and the emperor will not punish him if he punishes anyone.

This is Li Xiucheng's most senior, and he said unyieldingly: "Since everyone is so determined, I have nothing to say, I hope the emperor will not be angry." ”

Li Desheng said excitedly: "Okay, let's go to Beijing immediately to meet the emperor!" ”

In the south study, Shen Baozhen and Zhao Yali stood bent, and Li Yunzhong was still slowly reviewing and reciting.

After reviewing the last book, Li Yunzhong put down the pen and said with a smile: "The two Qing families have been waiting for a long time!" ”

Shen Baozhen immediately continued: "The emperor is worried about state affairs, it is the blessing of all the people, and it is also appropriate for Weichen to wait any longer, I don't know that the emperor is so anxious to come to us, but there is something to tell the ministers to do?" ”

Zhao Yali explained: "If the emperor is a little later, we and the Hunan army envoys will set off!" ”

Li Yunzhong smiled faintly and said, "I summoned you over, I really have something to order, it is about Zeng Guofan." ”

Zhao Yali was stunned for a moment, she couldn't think of anything noteworthy about Zeng Guofan, and suddenly thought of Zeng Jiaxin's woman, and immediately drank a vat of vinegar, frowning and said: "Could it be that the emperor asked us to see the future imperial concubine!" ”

Looking at the emperor who was smiling and smiling, Shen Baozhen was surprised in his heart, joking with the emperor like this, the emperor was not angry! There must be a cat in the middle, this Lord Zhao has red lips and white teeth, a delicate face, and the whole thing is a cream Xiaosheng, does the emperor like Longyang, no wonder there have been crazy words recently, hey! I didn't expect the wise and martial emperor to be so good.

Li Yunzhong straightened his body and said with a straight face: "The power of the Hunan army in the two lakes is deep-rooted, it can be said that the Hunan army originated in Hunan and grew in Hubei, Zeng Guofan is the soul of the Hunan army, it is not certain whether this person is loyal or traitorous, but several of his brothers can have more contact." ”

Shen Baozhen bowed: "Weichen obeys the order." ”

Li Yunzhong smiled and said to Zhao Yali: "As for Lord Zhao, you can act cheaply after you arrive in Hunan, but you must pay attention to safety, the two thousand guards are prepared for you." ”

Zhao Yali replied sweetly: "Emperor Xie cares!" ”

Li Yunzhong got up, and a little eunuch next to him handed over a palm-wide rectangular brocade box.

Li Yunzhong personally took the brocade box, came to Zhao Yali's side, and said affectionately: "This is a gift specially created by me and given to you." ”

Zhao Yali took the brocade box, felt a sinking in her hand, and said secretly: It's such a heavy box, I don't know what it contains.

Shen Baozhen looked at the brocade box enviously, and could only keep comforting himself, this was exchanged for his body.

Li Yunzhong also explained: "You must be considerate of each other on this trip, don't have any intentional disputes, everything is focused on the integration of the Hunan army, and the people in Hunan are fierce, you must bring guards when you travel......

Shen Baozhen was numb for a while, and said secretly: Why did the emperor become so verbose, it was really a hero who was sad to pass the beauty pass, this is not a beauty pass, this is not a beauty pass.

A eunuch slowly walked in and bowed: "Emperor Qi, General Li and others ask to see you!" ”

Shen Baozhen took the opportunity to say: "Weichen farewell!" ”

Shen Baozhen took Zhao Yali to the door of the south study, looked at the brocade box in Zhao Yali's hand enviously, and said with a smile: "This official has long heard that Lord Zhao is a celebrity in front of the emperor, and it is really the case when I see it today!" ”

Zhao Yali had also heard some rumors, thinking that Shen Baozhen was sarcastic, and replied lightly: "Lord Shen has won the award, as long as we are loyal to the emperor, we are all celebrities in front of the emperor." ”

The two walked a few steps, and Zhao Yali saw that Shen Baozhen was still looking at the brocade box in her hand, and said with a smile: "Does Lord Shen think this brocade box is good-looking!" (To be continued......)
