Chapter 588 Slow to move
The chief military officer, Zheng Erpin, has reached the peak of the Ming Dynasty's martial arts. You must know that throughout the Ming Dynasty, the total number of soldiers was only a little over 1,000.
Although Wu Shigong is a local general soldier, he cannot be compared with the highest military attache of a province like the Henan General Army, and the general army of the Chongzhen Dynasty is also a little overflowing, but after all, he has become the general soldier in charge of the first army.
Of course, there are also generals and knights on it, and there are miscellaneous generals and regular generals on the generals, and there are also dukes, marquis, and uncles, and there are two kinds of hereditary and non-hereditary, but they are used to improve the grade, and the honorary significance is greater than the practical significance.
So now, on some unofficial occasions, Wu Shigong can be called "handsome". It is very strange that in the common name of the people of the Ming Dynasty, the marshal was lower than the general, and the highest was of course the great general. However, the title of "Great General" has been usurped by Emperor Zhengde, who likes to give himself an official position, so no one dares to obtain this official position anymore.
So when Wu Shigong obtained the official position of the general army of Runing, the entire Runing army immediately boiled. On the one hand, this is the court's affirmation of the achievements of the Runing Army, and on the other hand, the ranks of all officers can be improved.
Although the Runing military system has its own independent officer system, with the official rank of the imperial court, it is quite cool to go outside to shake the majesty!
First of all, of course, there was a banquet, and after Wu Shigong read out the holy decree from the Qincha, he set up a banquet to entertain the civil and military officials of the Qincha and Runing Mansion. After that, he asked Zhang Xuebin to accompany him, and asked Qin Cha and his party to eat, play, sleep, and take it well in Runing!
Then the official gentry of Runing and Guide came to congratulate them. As long as the officials and gentry in these two places have heads and faces, they all went to the Wu Mansion with heavy gifts, and Wu Shigong was also hospitable and once again close to the relationship between the two sides.
Even the smaller gentry had a place to go. The officers of the Runing Army also held a feast to celebrate their promotion. Those little gentry can't see Wu Shigong's face, and they can shoot the sycophants of those officers. It's a goal achieved.
But none of them noticed that Wu Shigong's promotion was a little unusual this time.
Logically speaking, the general army is great at the local level, but it is a sesame mung bean official in the court, so the appointment of the general army can be done as long as the military department issues a document, and there is no need to send a special messenger to announce the decree.
In addition, this time, the entourage of the Qin Cha was somewhat huge, reaching more than 150 people, among which the Jinyi guards who guarded it exceeded 100 people. To know. The imperial court was guarded by local officials, and generally thirty or fifty people were enough, and there was no need for such a large guard.
However, the Runing army did not notice these anomalies at all. There is no way, Wu Shigong is still the first time to receive the holy decree here, and he has no experience at all. And in addition to being happy, he has also lost his basic vigilance.
But then again, no one would have thought of a military attache who has won many battles. When the imperial court still needed him to fight. will be arrested by the imperial court. Therefore, Wu Shigong's treatment is only comparable to Yue Fei's thirteen gold medals in history!
"My lord! It's been more than a month since we came to Runing. Wu Runing still didn't leave, and now he can't get sick. My lord! You need to get a charter! "Jinyi Wei Deputy Qianhu Hu Hu said to Qincha - Hanlin Xu Mengqi.
Jinyiwei deputy Qianhu Hu Kan is famous in the Jinyiwei system, he is a lock and an expert in raiding officials. Therefore, the locks and officials and raiders of Jinyiwei's incurable diseases basically fell on him.
Needless to say, this person has a black heart. The key thing is that he is more aware of the situation in the imperial court and the disputes between officials, that is to say, he is more politically minded. Otherwise, Hu Kan would not have survived at all.
You must know that locking up officials and raiding homes is a highly lucrative industry. But it's also a high-risk industry. Although the lock-up officials and the raiders are all out of the holy decree, who knows whether the unlucky officials will turn over?
In case the official was reinstated or even promoted, he really didn't dare to complain about the saint, but his anger always had to find a place to vent, so the brocade guard who presided over the lock and raided the house was unlucky, and life and death were all in the words of that official. The commander of the Jinyi Guard was unwilling to offend an important minister of the imperial court for the sake of a small minion.
So, which official can be ruthless? Which official needs to be decent? Which official should be offered like a grandfather? That's a jishu job. Hu Kan has been able to live until now, and he is also quite moisturized, so his eyelids must be quite lively.
Han Lin Xu Meng, who was asked, stroked his long beard, frowned and said, "The master has sent a letter, asking me to go to Beijing as soon as possible." Now, there is no need to wait, urge Wu Runing to go to Beijing as soon as possible, otherwise, I am afraid that there will be many dreams at night! ”
Xu Mengqi was Wen Tiren's Hanlin in the scientific expedition. Because most of the candidates in that year kept a distance from Wen Tiren, only Xu Mengqi was obsessed with fame and fortune and often walked around the Prime Minister's Mansion, so Wen Tiren introduced him as a confidant. So this time, Wen Tiren appointed Xu Mengqi as the messenger.
In the eyes of outsiders, this is a beautiful difference, it is to read the holy decree of promotion, there is no risk, it is also a trip to absorb money, and there are qualifications to turn into real officials as soon as possible, how is it also a good thing to break the head and fight to go.
But Xu Mengqi knew the secret mission of this announcement, and in the entire team of the announcement, only Xu Mengqi and Hu Kan knew the purpose of their trip.
However, after they arrived at Runing Mansion, although they were hospitalized, Wu Shigong refused to leave. Even now, he actually said goodbye to his illness again, and he didn't even show his face anymore, which made Xu Mengqi and Hu Kan a little restless.
In fact, it is not that Wu Shigong saw through Xu Mengqi's intentions, but that Wu Shigong has been waiting for Liu Guoneng's action. Only when Liu Guoneng integrated the peasant army in the Taihang Mountains and invaded Nanzhili, Wu Shigong was able to completely relax and accompany Xu Mengqi to Beijing to face the saint.
But Xu Mengqi and Hu Kan don't know! They're a little suspicious. Besides, now Shoufu Wen Tiren has written an urgent letter to Xu Mengqi: let him force Wu Shigong to go to Beijing by all means.
The reason why Wen Tiren was so anxious was because the battle between him and the Donglin Party had reached a white-hot level.
Although Qian Qianyi is in prison, his news is still quite well-informed. This can also be seen how great the energy of the Donglin Party is.
When Qian Yiqian found that his situation was becoming more and more dangerous, and his Donglin Party pig teammates were becoming more and more helpful, Qian Yiqian finally couldn't help but take action himself. He personally wrote several letters and asked someone to present them to Emperor Chongzhen for his own defense. (To be continued......)
