Chapter 822: Two More Cities
On the twelfth day of the first month of the first year of Chengde, the end of the hour, the beginning of the snow after the snow, the sun that has not been seen for many days suddenly appears among the clouds, although it is not very warm, but it is much stronger than the cold wind howling, but the two military and political giants in Shaanxi who are sitting in the same car are obviously not interested in enjoying the brightness of the spring, and they all sit still with their frowns, and the atmosphere in the carriage is inevitably depressed. Let the civil and military officials of Xi'an above the seventh rank go to the post station to discuss matters, and those who are absent without reason will be punished for the crime of contempt for the Qincha.
Counting up, Hongqing to Xi'an has been twelve days, since the first day of the show up, there is no sound, only said that he is sick in bed, and then let E and Fan how to explore, and they have never found out how Hongqing's condition is, only know that it is a cold, as for the situation of the raising, but I don't know anything, for this reason, E and Fan don't know how much effort they have spent in private, but whether they go to see in person, or send Lang Zhong to find out how much they have done, they can't enter the post station one step, This kind of situation is obviously a little abnormal, but under the lack of clarity about Hongqing's specific deployment, the two of them really don't dare to act rashly, and there is really not much they can do, one is to closely monitor the movement of the two thousand new troops in the post station, and the other is to keep sending documents to Nian Qianyao, asking him to send troops quickly.
The new army at the post station has always been very quiet, even if it is out of the exercise, it is only nearby, never far from the post station, as for Nian Qianyao, there has never been a response, even if Fan Shijie has passed the urgent order sent by the Beijing Division, and has not seen Nian Qianyao give a reply, and the people sent by the two sides to urge, they have disappeared like a stone sinking into the sea, as soon as this situation comes out, E and Fan are inevitably a little suspicious, and they don't know how to deal with the emergency orders sent by the fourteenth master one after another. Hongqing, who has been ill for many days, was actually called, and it was still such a stern wording, the two of them didn't dare not go, but their respective moods couldn't help but be heavy.
"The prince has an order, declare: Shaanxi Governor Ehai and Shaanxi Governor Fan Shijie will enter the interior to meet in one!"
As soon as E and Fan arrived at the post station, they immediately handed over the name thorn to ask for sight, but they did not see it immediately, but it was not until all the officials in Xi'an City had arrived that a palace guard general dressed in the clothes of a general strode out of the post station and announced Hongqing's order loudly.
"This general is invited, I don't know your honorable name? Hehe, that, oh, Li Minxing, General Li are still inside? ”
Hongqing is Xuan, E and Fan didn't dare to slack off, and followed the general into the post station, Ehai didn't feel that there was too much wrong, but Fan Shijie was careful, but he was vaguely aware that the situation was a little wrong, so he took a quick step, grabbed the position on the same level as the general who went first, and asked with a smile.
"Lord Fan is polite, the last general Ding Song, as for General Li, Lord Fan will know when he enters."
In the face of Fan Shijie's petty flattery, the young general was not arrogant, and explained politely, but he just reported to his family, and as for the substantive content, it was nothing.
"Oh......"
Fan Shijie was obviously not satisfied with such an answer, he spoke lightly, and asked again, but Ding Song didn't give him a chance to speak, and as soon as his pace accelerated, he had already thrown Fan Shijie off a big step. There is no trace of pathology at all.
"Xiaguan Ehai (Fan Shijie) knocks to see the prince!"
E and Fan originally suspected that Hongqing was pretending to be sick, even after the diagnosis of Wang Qu, a famous doctor, the two did not dare to believe that Hongqing was really sick, and they had been wary of Hongqing playing tricks, but for more than ten days, they never found that Hongqing had any abnormal moves, and the two of them were suspicious, but they couldn't help but relax their vigilance a little, but at this time, although they saw Hongqing sitting silently, their looks were obviously flying, obviously not compatible with the initial recovery of a serious illness, and the two of them couldn't help but be a little flustered. But he categorically didn't dare to lose his courtesy, so he could only suppress the surprise in his heart, and hurriedly rushed forward and paid homage in a regular manner.
"Both of you have been very busy lately."
In the face of the big salute of E and Fan, Hongqing did not call out according to the rules, but sat still for a long time, and after a long period of silence, he jokingly ridiculed the two of them.
"Wang Ye Haihan, the lower officials and others were entangled in official business, and they failed to **** to come to ask for peace, they really shouldn't be, and they also asked the prince to take responsibility."
Hearing Hongqing's strange words, E and Fan couldn't help but be surprised, and at the end, Fan Shijie reacted quickly, and hurriedly replied with a smile.
"Busy with official duties? Well, it's a good reason, but I don't know what official business you're doing with Governor Fan, maybe you came to listen to this king? ”
Fan Shijie said very smoothly, but Hongqing was obviously not moved by it, still with that playful smile, and asked nonchalantly.
"Lord Wang's Mingjian, are all local details, it is really unbearable, if the prince wants to ask, please ask for the will first, and the officials should explain in detail."
Seeing that Hongqing's expression was wrong, Fan Shijie's already empty heart suddenly became a little more empty, but his tone became tougher, and he moved out of the court law that Brother Qincha had no will to ask about local government affairs, and he unceremoniously gave Hongqing a hand.
"Well, Lord Fan is right, if there is no will, even if this king is a messenger, he must not interfere in local governance, good, very good, Lord Fan can adhere to the principle so much, it is indeed commendable, if Lord Fan can use this insistence on the right path, the court may have one more capable minister, but unfortunately, Lord Fan took the wrong path at the beginning, and he did not repent, he made mistakes again and again, and now he wants to turn back, I am afraid that there is no possibility, this is indeed a pity!"
Hongqing and Fan Shijie had dealt with each other when they were in the household department, and they still admired their honesty and talent, but it was a pity that he got on the ship of the fourth master early, and the relationship between the fourth master was too deep, and Hongqing could not use it anymore.
"Why did the prince say this, the lower officials don't know why, and they can't deserve such emotion from the prince!"
As soon as he heard Hongqing's words, Fan Shijie's heart suddenly sank to the bottom, but he was unwilling to admit defeat, but when he saw that he gritted his teeth, he suddenly knelt up straight, glared at Hongqing angrily, and retorted in a loud voice.
"Governor Fan is an understanding person, how can he not know what this king is talking about, heh, okay, this king will let you completely die and move up!"
Hongqing looked at the angry Fan Shijie with a smile, and the corners of his mouth twitched, and he already drank his throat.
"Wow!"
Hongqing gave such an order, and heard a promise sounded outside the door, and then saw a guard holding a large tray coming in from outside, and on the tray was a human head!
"Ah, this ......"
Ehai and Nian Qianyao were not familiar with each other, so they couldn't recognize who the head was, but when they saw such a hideous head, they suddenly exclaimed in fright.
"Prince Ren, what is the reason why you dare to murder a member of the court!"
Although the relationship between Fan Shijie and Nian Qianyao is far from close, and there have even been a lot of disagreements in private, but after all, they are all people of the fourth master and a family, and they have met a lot of times.
"Murder? Oh, the hat that Governor Fan buckled is not small, this king can't deserve it, but Er and Nian Qianyao conspired to rebel, and wanted to take the king's head and give it to some people as a greeting gift, it's really a good calculation, but it's a pity, Skynet is restored and negligent, you think you're acting secretly, but you don't know that this king has already noticed your dark deeds, and now, Nian Qianyao died first, and you are just one step late! ”
Hongqing is so easy to scare, no matter how righteous and awe-inspiring Fan Shijie's anger is, Hongqing just reciprocated with a mocking sneer and unceremoniously refuted it.
"A certain is a feudal official of the imperial court, if you are not a person who can move lightly, if you want to deal with this official, please bring the holy decree!"
Seeing that the shape was already not good, Fan Shijie let go, and shouted with his neck in his hand.
"Divine decree? There is a copy of this king's place, so wait and kneel down to listen to the announcement! ”
Now that the words have been broken, there is no need to talk to each other anymore, Hongqing didn't bother to talk to the two of them anymore, sneered, shook his hand, took out a rolled edict from his wide sleeves, and held it high above his head with both hands.
"Fengtian carrier, the emperor's edict said: I was shocked to hear that there was a change in the northwest, and I was very worried......"
As soon as Hongqing's posture of announcing the decree came out, E and Fan were all panicked, but they still couldn't help but kneel on the ground, and Hongqing didn't care what kind of expression the two of them had, stretched out his hand to spread out the edict, and slowly announced it.
The edict is not long, and the voice of Hongqing's edict is not too loud, but it can be heard in the ears of E and Fan, but it is really like a thunderstorm, at this time, the two really understand that the so-called illness of Hongqing is really fake, the situation in the northwest has long been controlled by Hongqing, and the panic and unwillingness of complacency are helpless, no, Hongqing's edict is not finished, and Hu and Fan are all soft to the ground, and there is no trace of strength to fight......
