Chapter 37 Guilty Zhao Ming, kind Feng Wu
The next day, the hour had come, and Zhao Hao had not yet seen Zhao Ming, who should have appeared in the upper study now. Zhao Hao couldn't help but have a headache and asked Huaien: "What about the little sixth son?" ”
"According to the report of the guards, the Sixth Highness left the palace early the next morning, because His Majesty had already issued an edict that the time for the Sixth Highness to leave the palace would no longer be restricted, so the guards guarding the door did not stop the Sixth Highness." Wynne replied.
"Alas! Just give him a few days off! I'm afraid that this kid won't come to the study if he's in a bad mood these days. Zhao Hao sighed.
"What Your Majesty said is extremely true, and the persecution is too tight."
They never thought that Zhao Ming had done something earth-shattering this time out of the palace!
Some time before the emperor spoke with Huai'en, Zhao Ming came to the camp of the Shenwu Army. After the transmission, I saw Feng Wu who had just finished the morning exercise. Coach Feng Po is still in the early court, and Zhao Ming doesn't plan to see him.
Feng Wu was still dressed in silver armor and white robes in the army, and she didn't feel like a daughter's home at all, and looked at Zhao Ming with a straight face.
Zhao Ming stood still in front of Feng Wu: "There are a few words I want to say to you, say them alone." ”
Without waiting for Feng Wu to answer, the female guards around him squeezed their eyebrows, walked out of the big tent with a smile, and intimately pulled down the tent door, giving Feng Wu a big red face.
It's a pity that Zhao Ming really didn't have the heart to laugh at Feng Wu, who was flushed now, and stared at Feng Wu's eyes a few steps forward and said, "I have something to ask you." ”
"What... What's the matter, you say? I don't know if it's because it's too close, Feng Wu even has red ears, and finally regained a little bit of the charm that her daughter's family should have.
"I want you..." Before the words fell, Feng Wu was frightened back a few steps by these three words, his head was lowered to his chest, and his legs were still trembling. Zhao Ming was puzzled, frowned, and said the next words in one breath: "I want you to order a thousand cavalry of the Shenwu Army to accompany you to a place!" ”
Feng Wu's face turned from red to white, and his voice was still very annoyed: "Zhao Ming! Without His Majesty's holy decree, the Shenwu Army would not have dispatched a single soldier! ”
"Divine decree? Yes! Zhao Ming took out a holy decree from his arms and looked at the woman in front of him who could be regarded as a childhood sweetheart, "But I don't want to lie to you." ”
Zhao Ming told Feng Wu about yesterday's events as they were, and finally stared at Feng Wu's eyes and sprayed out word by word: "The holy decree is true, the emperor's jade seal is true, and the cabinet is also true." Everything is in accordance with the procedure. But! The content is what I just wrote! ”
Choked, a sword rested on Zhao Ming's neck, at that time, the sword was really only 0.03 cm away from Zhao Ming's neck, Zhao Ming was not sure whether the owner of the sword would directly hack him to death after a quarter of a pillar of incense.
"Zhao Ming, you are pretending to pass on the holy decree! Why? Feng Wu's wheat-colored skin turned a little gray.
"Well, you're right, I'm falsely proclaiming the Holy Decree. If this is not done, the damned will live freely. Tens of millions of victims in Ning County will fall to the ground, and tens of thousands of women and children will be sent to the frontier to serve hard labor. In the end, there is no one in ten, and women are worse than dead. You just don't think it's my aesthetic. ”
"What the hell are you going to do?"
"I don't know what I can do, I just know I can't do nothing! Alright, Xiao Wu. My choice has been made, and the rest is your turn. You have two ways now, the first is to tie me up and escort me back to the imperial city to expose me. Don't worry, I can't die. Captivity for a lifetime at most. Second, take the cavalry and follow me, I can't get to that place alone. You can pretend not to know, after all, legally, this decree is in accordance with the procedure. You're just doing what you're told. Well, you're going to choose. ”
After saying that, Zhao Ming closed his eyes, he was also gambling, betting that this little girl would not forget to avoid small animals such as golden chickens and rabbits when she chased him, and bet that she Feng Wu is still kind to this day. All he can do is done, and God will decide the rest.
Zhao Ming didn't know how long it had been, and the neck holding the sword became sore. She only opened her eyes with a bang, and the sword was already back in her master's scabbard. Zhao Ming looked at Feng Wu's dejected expression, and felt a little ashamed in his heart. After all, he took advantage of Feng Wu's kindness.
"Your Majesty really gave the order to strangle everyone?" Feng Wu asked in a cold voice.
"It was issued yesterday, so we are going to intercept the eunuchs who sent the decree. Otherwise, the inconsistent decree will arouse suspicion among others. The initiative in this counterinsurgency must be in our hands. Zhao Ming only let out a long breath at this time, his feet were a little soft just now.
Feng Wu took the holy decree and the Tiger Talisman and left the camp directly, and paused at the door: "Zhao Ming, if you lie to me." I won't let you go! ”
Zhao Ming didn't make any guarantees, just said softly: "I'm sorry, Xiao Wu." ”
Feng Wu's body stiffened and he didn't say anything. Put down the tent door and walk towards grandpa's main tent. She knew where to put the other half of the tiger talisman.
Not long after, more than 20 horsemen, people with two horses left the Shenwu Army camp and galloped in the southwest direction. In addition, the Shenwu military camp was also very lively, and in the call of Zu Mao, another general of the Shenwu army, a thousand cavalry were ready to go.
Changing horses in turn along the way, except for the skill of going to the toilet, which the Shenwu Army has not yet mastered, eating and drinking are all solved on the horse, and even the Shenwu knight who is skilled in riding has a somewhat sluggish face, not to mention Zhao Ming, who does not often ride horses.
Zhao Ming could only grit his teeth all the way and insist, never complaining. When he couldn't hold it anymore, he tied himself to the horse with a rope and let the horse run forward. Feng Wu had no choice but to accompany Zhao Ming, afraid that the horse would run away and that Zhao Ming would fall off the horse.
It took two days to intercept the eunuch not far from the border post station in Huaihua Prefecture, and tied up the eunuch without saying a word. The eunuch thought that he had met a bandit, and he was so frightened that his pants were wet.
Zhao Ming searched for the holy decree and handed it to Feng Wu, which obviously said how the rebels were to deal with it: the rebel leader Yi San. The first 3,000 victims were decided, and those who were coerced were reduced to untouchables and sent to serve ten years of hard labor on the frontier.
Zhao Ming sneered: "This is our Emperor Mingjun." ”
"Your Majesty also has his own grievances, and this is a rebellion after all. If you are not careful, you will be used by Nantang or Xiyan. I am afraid that it is an erosive situation, and there is a possibility of shaking the national foundation. Your Majesty can only be severe! Feng Wu defended the emperor who had always loved him.
Zhao Ming pursed his thin lips and did not speak, he never believed that one person could change another adult's mind with words.
"The holy decree has been intercepted, what should I do next?" Feng Wu saw that Zhao Ming did not answer, and ended the topic.
"This holy decree was sent to the Jingzhai Army in Huaihua Prefecture, and now even if a thousand Shenwu cavalry arrives, our army's strength is insufficient. He was even darker about the situation of the rebels, and he didn't know anything about it. This battle can't be fought. Let's go to the Rock Fort of the Jingzhai Army first. Zhao Ming looked at the dim wilderness, and his mood was even more complicated when he mentioned Rock Fort. If it weren't for the impathy, Zhao Ming didn't want to get close to Rock Fort at all and go to meet that person!
