As soon as the person entered the main gate of the Yamen, he heard the sound of reprimanding from inside, faintly accompanied by Song Guanglan's begging for mercy, listening to the movement, the louder Song Guanglan's begging for mercy, the louder the shouting and reprimanding. Dayong stopped, listened to a few words, and felt that the shouting sound seemed familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had heard it for a while. After listening to a few more words, the movement was wrong, and I couldn't help frowning, raised my feet and continued to walk inside.

"You eat the court, but you don't think about repaying the favor of your father, and you don't die on the day the city is broken, how can you turn back to the thief to help the abuse! Why are you still wearing the official uniform of this court and holding the big seal of the court! If you have self-knowledge, the three-foot white silk behind the hall will cut off yourself, if you don't have the life of self-knowledge, you can't blame the official for being sent to Beijing with a thousand knives. ”

"Adults spare their lives, adults spare their lives, and they are forced to do so on the day of their humble duties, they are confused for a while, and they are confused for a while."

"What a last resort, confused for a while! The official asked you, why Sun Yuanhua didn't get confused, and he didn't have to be forced to do so! Do you think the court will let you and other rebel ministers go! Do you think that you can live by begging for mercy? Hugh did this ugly in front of the official, and the official has already pointed out a clear way for you, which one to choose, the three-foot white silk or the tens of millions, you are so careful to weigh it yourself. ”

"Humble and lowly listen to adults"

Song Guanglan was completely discouraged, her face was colorless, she got up from the ground slowly, her legs trembled violently, and she walked to the back hall tremblingly. On the chair next to him, Xie Yiqing wanted to speak and stopped, Zhao Quan was indifferent, Jiang Yihe stood in the hall with a righteous look, and couldn't help but be angry when he saw Song Guanglan, "This official means that you have a clear road, and you will also be responsible for returning to Beijing, if you are no longer interested, this official will ask the envoy to take you, and escort you back to Beijing along with your family!"

"Don't"

As soon as she heard that Jiang Yihe was going to ask Jinyiwei to escort his family back to the capital, Song Guanglan was suddenly frightened and her hands and feet were cold, and she didn't dare to delay any longer, so she gritted her teeth and walked to the back hall. The two brocade-clothed guards looked at him from left to right, obviously afraid that he would take the opportunity to escape. After walking a few steps, I heard someone outside the hall shouting: "Lord Song, where are you going?" ”

Hearing this cry, Song Guanglan was like a drowning man seeing a straw, her body trembled, and she violently pushed away the Jinyi guard on the left, howling "General save me, General save me!" Ran to Dayong, but before he could get to the front, he knelt at Dayong's feet with a "plop", grabbed his snot and tears, his head kept hitting the ground, and his mouth shouted: "The general saves me, the general saves me"

"Shi Dayong, how can a traitor be called an adult? And how did you save him? ”

Shi Dayong's title to Song Guanglan made Jiang Yihe quite dissatisfied, and he also disdained Song Guanglan for treating Shi Dayong as a savior, and he was about to show the majesty of the military department as soon as he curled his beard, but when he caught a glimpse of Shi Dayong's hideous and terrifying face, the words that were about to be said were held back, and he only snorted angrily.

Seeing Jiang Yihe, Dayong suddenly realized, no wonder he felt familiar when he heard the voice just now, it turned out to be the old man Jiang who went to Jinzhou last year to reward him. When I saw this Jiang Langzhong, he was full of white hair, and when I saw him again today, this beard would be white to the roots. I don't know what the court thinks, such an old man with his thighs in the ground has not yet returned to his hometown, and has repeatedly sent him out of Beijing, is there really no one available in the court? Dayong had no dislike for Jiang Yihe, and even took pity on him for his beard and was still worried about the country, but just now he heard that Jiang Yihe was going to force Song Guanglan to death with the name of Shangguan, which made him dissatisfied all of a sudden. If he was one step too late, and Song Guanglan really hanged himself, wouldn't his promise to Shi Dayong become bullshit, and what face would he say that he would never lose his trust in others.

Seeing that Dayong was coming, Xie Yiqing had already gotten up and said with a smile on his face: "General Shi, don't come to harm!" ”

"It turned out to be Lord Xie!" Dayong had a good impression of Xie Yiqing, and he saluted with his fists at the moment, but he did not salute Jiang Yihe, but looked at Zhao Quan, the imperial eunuch sitting there, and looked at Xie Yiqing with an inquiring eye.

Xie Yiqing hurriedly introduced: "This is Gonggong Zhao. ”

In the palace? Dayong was a little surprised, the Son of Heaven sent someone?

Surprised in his heart, his demeanor was not rude, and he stepped forward respectfully and saluted, saying: "The last general Shi Dayong has seen Zhao Gonggong!" ”

"General Shi, please get up."

Zhao Quanquan came with the emperor's decree, he was a righteous messenger, Jiang Yihe and Xie Yiqing were only sent by the military department to understand the recent situation of Denglai, and they did not live up to the emperor's order, and among the three, he was naturally the most respected eunuch, and it was normal to receive the gift of Dayong. is that there is no identity of Qincha, with his identity as a former eunuch who often serves the Son of Heaven, even the ordinary chief soldier Zhentai also wants to make a big salute when he sees him, and he is desperate, not to mention Dayong, the deputy general of Jinzhou.

"General Shi has made meritorious contributions to quelling the rebellion, first returned to Dengzhou, and then cut the second rebellion, with outstanding merits, the emperor specially sent our family to reward the generals and soldiers, hehe." Zhao Quan smiled, there was no shelf from the palace at all, it was really much more approachable than Gao Qiqian, which made Dayong a little strange, but it was because of his great achievements that this eunuch was so close to him, but he didn't know that this Zhao Quan's grade was actually not high, and it was the first time he went out of Beijing, and he hadn't been able to fully appreciate how much gold he had as a former eunuch.

"Quelling the rebellion is the duty of the last general as a courtier, how dare you send an angel to the emperor to come with a little meager merit, the minister is terrified, and he is not terrified that he can only repay the country with death" Dayong can't help but be humble, but his heart is happy, Chongzhen can send an inner servant to come, and the crime of rebellion has disappeared. Zhao Quan smiled and praised Dayong a few more words, saying how happy the emperor was when he heard about the recovery of Dengzhou and the second rebellion in Beijing, and he was also happy to hear Dayong, and his hard work was not in vain. Xie Yiqing also echoed a few words on the side, Praise Dayong and the Jinzhou Army are really good generals in the world. Jiang Yihe stood there with a blue face and stared at Song Guanglan, seeing that the latter didn't dare to raise his head.

It's not too late to say polite words later, it's important to do business first, Zhao Quan smiled and took out the holy decree and was about to read it, Jiang Yihe suddenly pointed his hand at the kneeling Song Guanglan and asked Dayong: "General Shi, do you know that this person has committed treason with thieves?" ”

Dayong glanced at Song Guanglan, who was still trembling there, and nodded: "Zhilu Dao." ”

If Da Yong said that he didn't know the way, Jiang Yihe still had a self-comforting step, but Da Yong directly replied to the way, and he couldn't help but make the old master have a seizure, and his face darkened, "Since you know the way, why don't you put him in prison, but still ask him to wear the official uniform of the court and hold the official seal of the court, do you regard the famous weapon of the country as child's play?!" ”

Hearing this, Zhao Quan and Xie Yiqing also felt that it was inappropriate for Dayong to let Song Guanglan, an official who had reduced thieves, still manage Dengzhou, but the two did not have the same seizure as Jiang Yihe, the former looked at Dayong with interest, and the latter secretly sweated for Dayong. The appointment of renegade officials can be big or small, and it is not impossible to say that they have a "bad intention" at the big level, and it is also a foolish official to say that they are confused, and both of them have no good impact on Dayongke.

"Although this person is guilty of being a thief, but at present, Dengzhou is in ruins, and the imperial court has not sent someone to take over, and the last general has the ability to govern the people, so for the time being, he is asked to help do things, the right is a transition, not the meaning of blaspheming the country's name." Dayong explained, and when he said this, he suddenly asked Jiang Yihe: "My lord brought the will of the imperial court to dispose of it?" If so, the general will put the person in prison and be disposed of. As soon as the words fell, I saw Song Guanglan's body unstable, and her head hit the ground with a "bang".

"This official is not a Qincha, if there is any will, you can ask Gonggong Zhao." How can Jiang Yihe have a holy decree, there is an official document from the Ministry of War, but unfortunately there is no provision on it for him to deal with the demotion, and it is not the turn of the Ministry of War to manage this matter.

The ball was kicked on him, Zhao Quan shook his head and said: "Our family is just here to reward the army, and the emperor didn't let our family take care of other things." ”

"If there is no will, there shall be no fault in the disposition of the general." Da Yong secretly breathed a sigh of relief, he was really afraid that Zhao Quan would come up with the will to deal with the demote, and the matter was really a bit tricky. At the same time, his tone suddenly hardened, "Since there is no will, I'm afraid it's inappropriate for Lord Jiang to ask him to judge himself just now, right?" ”

At best, the military selection division of the military department is only the fifth grade, but Song Guanglan is from the fourth grade of Denglai Dao, and the two have no upper and lower jurisdictional relationship, unless there is authorization from the Son of Heaven, Jiang Yihe does not have the power to judge Song Guanglan anyway.

Jiang Yihe knew that he was at a loss, and he originally wanted to show that he would make a renegade commit suicide in shame with a few words, and he could also have some good things to say to his father after he became a servant, and he thought that the court would not pursue himself for a thief who betrayed the court, so why not do it if he can gain fame and punish a rebel minister for the country. It's just that no one has said anything about this kind of thing, but Dayong pointed out in public that he didn't have this power, Jiang Yihe was suddenly a little embarrassed, and snorted with a sneering face and didn't answer directly, but pointed to the tables and stools outside the court that had not been moved, and asked Dayong: "Denglai Governor Yamen is the office of the imperial court's feudal officials, why is it the same as a teahouse restaurant?" General Shi has been recovering Dengzhou for a while, how can he not know how to send people to clean up and send soldiers to guard it, what kind of system is this kind of black smoke obstacle? ”

"Dengzhou has just been recovered, and the end will be entangled in Pepsi, and I forgot to send someone to clean it up for a while, please forgive me." Dayong's posture was lowered, he had no intention of arguing with this old man who was about to enter the ground, lest he know about the fact that he was holding a banquet in this governor's yamen.

Dayong lowered his posture, but Jiang Yihe was energetic, thinking that this martial artist was finally afraid of himself, sneered, and asked, "If you forget it for a while, you can lose the dignity of the government?" Can the transition of power be called the administration of the offender? What does this make the people think of the court? If they have a heart of contempt, how will the government govern them in the future? ”

Got an inch? Dayong also got angry, and said-for-tat: "The last general thinks that the dignity of the government lies in making the people in the territory worry-free about food and clothing, the old have support, and the little education, as for the yamen is broken, what does it matter?" No matter how good the yamen is, if the people are displaced and have no food, what is the use of such dignity? ”

"You're talking nonsense, you're so stupid! Seeing that Shi Dayong dared to contradict himself, Jiang Yihe was immediately furious, he must teach this unashamed martial artist a lesson.

"The two of you still don't fight, do we still have to announce the decree?"

Zhao Quan saw that the situation was not good, and he was also familiar with this old man Jiang along the way, and knew that this old man had better argue with others, and he couldn't lose, if he and Shi Dayong quarreled, I don't know what would happen. Hearing him say that he was going to announce the decree, Jiang Yihe was stunned and didn't dare to speak again, he couldn't afford to delay the accusation of delaying the decree. The old man didn't make any noise, and Dayong naturally didn't bother to pay attention to him, knelt down towards Zhao Quan and said, "The minister Shi Dayong has the order!" When he knelt, the guards also knelt down, Jiang Yihe and Xie Yiqing also knelt down, and everyone bowed their heads and held their heads.

Zhao Quan unfolded the holy decree, glanced at it, and preached in a clear voice: "Edict: Wen Jinzhou's deputy general Shi Dayong led his troops to recover Dengzhou, and punished the two rebellions, I am very happy, and I will give ten altars of imperial wine to reward meritorious soldiers." Chin this. ”

After the announcement, Zhao Quan put away the holy decree, waited for Shi Dayong to kowtow and handed it to him, but after not wanting to put it away, he found that there was no movement below, and couldn't help but look at Shi Dayong who was kneeling strangely, and didn't want to meet Dayong's confused gaze, only to see his mouth slightly open, and two words came out: "It's gone?" ”
