(Thanks to the monthly passes of the three leisure ronin, Asunsan, and Clear Sky Tourmaline) Chapter 251
Hong Chou rushed over sweating profusely, and when he saw Song Nan, he knelt down and kowtowed, and shouted in a low voice: "Lord Song forgives the sin, Lord Song forgives the sin." ”
Song Nan frowned and said, "You said that there are no fierce beasts on this mountain, why did such a powerful black bear emerge today?" ”
Hong Chou snorted: "My lord, I didn't expect such a thing to happen, I haven't seen this blind bear for many days here. ”
Song Nan shouted: "I won't talk to you about it, you have to be responsible for this matter, and you will have your own fate later." ”
Hong Chou kowtowed again and again to beg for mercy, and Song Nan said: "Sue me, what kind of intentions are you?" ”
Hong Chou collapsed on the ground and sighed: "Let's tell the truth, I really don't know what kind of beasts are on this mountain, but the emperor finally came to visit, and the lowly position naturally wants the emperor to stay here, and the lowly position has a chance...... Serve the emperor; But I didn't expect such a thing to happen. ”
Song Nan raised his foot and was about to kick him, Hong Chou didn't dare to dodge, shrugged his shoulders and waited for Song Nan's flying feet, Song Nan sighed and said: "You are so confused, you deceived me in order to have a chance to get close to the emperor, today the emperor was almost killed by that beast, if the emperor has an accident, I and other people who accompany me, including you, a fool, will be punished by the nine clans, stupid." ”
Hong Chou's face was as pale as earth and he didn't dare to answer, Song Nan said: "Today, I will send your sins, and I will settle accounts with you when I go back, if this matter is involved, you will not be the first to escape." ”
Hong Chou kowtowed again and again to confess, and Song Nan frowned and said, "Get out." ”
Hong Chou kowtowed and crawled away.
Song Nan sighed and closed his eyes silently, Dai Su'er combed his hair in a bun, stretched out his slender fingers and gently rubbed Song Nan's forehead, Song Nan jumped up and walked towards the center of the camp; Dai Su'er hung her hands in a daze, maintaining a massage posture, watching Song Nan's figure disappear, tears rolling in her eyes, and gently turned around and lowered her head into the tent.
Zhengde came over, and at this moment, accompanied by Liu Jin and others, he was surrounded by the wooden pillar in front of the big tent to watch the shirtless guards peel the skin of the black bear; The black bear skin was peeled off in its entirety, and the area was so large that it could almost be used as a futon.
Zhengde smiled: "This bear skin is a good thing, it must be very warm." ”
Liu Jin smiled: "How about taking it back and spreading it on the recliner in the leopard room?" ”
Zhengde thought for a while and shook his head and said, "No, I want to give Song Nan a bear skin, if it weren't for him today, I wouldn't be spared." ”
Liu Jin was stunned and said: "That's not necessarily, the emperor is blessed with all the sky, how can this black bear hurt the emperor." ”
Zhengde Zhengse looked at Liu Jin and said: "Little Jinzi, there are some things I have to tell you clearly, I am not a dumb king, you just pat yourself on the back, if you think I am ignorant and easy to fool, you will be dizzy; I'm young, but I'm not confused. Today is dangerous and dangerous, if it weren't for Song Nan's rescue, I would definitely not be lucky, I don't blame you for not saving me at that time, I understand that you can't do anything, but I don't allow you to curry favor afterwards and say some bastard words. ”
Liu Jin's face turned pale with fright, and he hurriedly knelt down to confess, Zhengde waved his hand and smiled: "But what you said also has some truth, Song Nan brought that thing with him, and made contributions at a critical time, I can't help but say that it was some providence." ”
Liu Jin said with joy on his face: "Yes, yes, in fact, this is what slave and maid mean." ”
Zhengde smiled, turned his head and asked, "What about Song Nan?" The bear's paw was cut off, how could he not come and taste it? ”
Song Nan walked out from behind the crowd and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the minister has been waiting for a long time, and his mouth is drooling." ”
Zhengde laughed, stretched out his hand to hold Song Nan's arm and said, "Enter the tent and speak, Xiao Jinzi, quickly cook the bear paw bear meat, it is going to eat me, I want to eat it now." ”
Everyone burst into laughter, and was dragging Song Nan into the big tent, sat down to speak, and said: "I have decided to give you the bear skin, commend you for saving me without risk, and give you some other rewards after returning to Beijing." ”
Song Nan thanked him and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks it's better for us to return to Beijing quickly, today's matter is a bad omen, and the minister always feels that this indicates that this road will not be peaceful, what does the emperor think?" ”
Zhengde laughed and said, "Are you scared? I'm not afraid. I understand what you mean, you have only been away from Beijing for three days, and you almost had an accident on your first hunt, so you are naturally worried; But I think this is just a good omen, we still hunted this black bear in such a dangerous situation, and I am unharmed, isn't this a good omen? I believe that this journey will be smooth, and I love this kind of adventure, the more thrilling it is, the more exciting it is. ”
Song Nan was speechless, frowned, and said: "Your Majesty, the minister is not cowardly, the minister is just thinking about the emperor's safety." ”
Zhengde waved his hand and said: "Don't worry, I know in my heart, I have just been out of Beijing for a few days, and you want me to go back, won't I come out in vain; Besides, I haven't done my important business yet, I am going to inspect the military defense of the border towns on this trip, but I can't be frightened back by a fierce beast, if the ministers know, I should laugh at me behind my back. ”
Song Nan sighed secretly, it seems that the journey has to continue, Zhengde is a guy who likes excitement, and he will not change his mind if he is light; It seems that he can only continue to toss with him.
"Okay, okay, don't be sad, I promise you, tomorrow we will leave for Ulzhou, and we won't stay in the mountains of this beast, so it's okay, right?"
Song Nan got up and arched his hand: "Thank you for the emperor's understanding, Weichen sent someone to Ulzhou in the afternoon to report to Wei Jiangbin in Ulzhou, and ordered him to lead his troops to come to respond." ”
Zhengde nodded and said, "Okay, okay, listen to you; But I don't want to make a big fuss and disturb the local military and government, don't make the city full of storms, I want to march quietly. ”
Song Nan said: "The minister will explain the emperor's meaning to Jiang Bin, and tell him not to make a noise, and we will not enter Ulzhou City, just inspect the walled fort outside Ulzhou City." ”
Zhengde nodded in agreement, and Song Nan said again: "The minister still has a reluctant request." ”
Zhengde said: "What's the matter?" ”
Song Nan said: "Since the emperor insists on completing the inspection of the border town, the minister hopes to be responsible for the emperor's personal guard." It's not that the minister doesn't believe in Qiu Ju and Shi's commanding skills, but after all, the minister is from a border town, and he is more experienced than Qiu Gonggong and Shi Commander in some aspects, so for the emperor's safety, the minister volunteered to go back, hoping that the emperor would not think that the minister had any thoughts of exceeding the rules. ”
Zhengde smiled: "You seem to be very worried, you don't have to be like this, I just need you to accompany me, there is no need to be so nervous, isn't it good to let Qiu Ju and Shi Wenyi work hard about those things?" ”
Song Nan got up and said, "If the emperor doesn't agree, please go back to the capital." ”
Zhengde was stunned and said: "What is this, okay, okay, I really can't see through you, I promise you yes, but I can't let Shi Wenyi and Qiu Ju be dissatisfied, I allow you to cooperate with the two of them to be responsible for my safety, what do you think?" ”
Song Nan said: "The minister understands that the minister does not want to take away their rights, the emperor only needs to send the twenty officers with knives who are attached to me to dispatch, and Commander Shi and Lord Qiu still perform their duties." ”
Zhengde smiled: "That's right, Shi Wenyi is your official after all, although I don't have any ability to look at him...... Hey, don't mention it. ”
Song Nan doesn't want to interface, this topic is actually not good for himself, Zhengde is a smart person, a seemingly nonsensical emperor, in fact, his heart is like a mirror, the subtext of his words just now is to reveal that he does not agree with Shi Wenyi and Qiu Ju's ability, listening to Zhengde's ears, it is very likely to produce a misunderstanding that Song Nan hopes for greater rights; Maybe he deliberately said that Shi Wenyi had no ability just to find out Song Nan's opinion.
The bear meat was cooked, and the plates were served, and the big tent was lively, although the big black bear was extremely strong, but the meat on its body did not look old; After careful cooking, the taste is delicious, Song Nan is the first time to eat bear meat, and he is very amazed by the mouthful of oil he eats with this spirit. The rest of the bear meat was given to the soldiers of each battalion, and the fierce black bear fell into everyone's stomach in an instant.
In the evening, Song Nan sent Wan Zhi and a personal soldier to Ulzhou with his own handwritten letter to fight the front station, Jiang Bin was in charge of Ulzhou Wei, and Song Nan naturally couldn't help but let him know about the major events that the emperor was coming, which was also an opportunity for Jiang Bin to be familiar.
At the same time, Song Nan also made adjustments to the defense around Zhengde, and the twenty high-skilled officers with swords and the personal guard battalion brought by themselves naturally served as personal guards, while the thirty Han generals and Dongchang soldiers who were originally in charge of the emperor's personal guards were transferred to the outer defense; This move immediately aroused the dissatisfaction of Shi Wenyi and Qiu Ju, who angrily accused Song Nan of acting beyond his authority, but was said by Zhengde: "It is my arrangement." "Choke silently.
Song Nan is also out of the way, anyway, there is nothing to bridge with Liu Jinqiu, Jushi Wenyi and others, it is better to be stronger, he is not only doing this for the sake of Zhengde's safety, but also to convey a message to Liu Jin and others: Lao Tzu has a stable position in the emperor's mind, and he doesn't want to fight me.
Liu Jin secretly soothed the anger of Xia Qiu Ju and Shi Wenyi, after today's rescue, the emperor must have more trust in Song Nan, there is no need to fight Song Nan at this time; Besides, Liu Jin already has another clever plan, this plan can definitely make Song Nan finished, why do you need to be brave at this time.
