Chapter 777: Lord Wang, Masters of the Ages
"Do you guess if the prince will let them return the money, and then,"
The pillar in charge of security work in the corner of the venue quietly dragged Deputy Director Ding, who had retreated, and made a motion to wipe his neck.
If the prince really wants to do this, then Baozhu and the others will be busy.
Outside the venue, there were not only 500 axe men in ambush, but also 500 gunmen, and none of them could escape.
As for the guards brought by the generals, they are all called properly arranged.
"No, it won't,"
Deputy Director Ding shook his head: "The prince can get to where he is today by being honest and trustworthy, I don't think the prince will smash his own signboard, most likely to scare and scare them." ”
"That's right."
Baozhu is silent, His Excellency the President wants to say that he is second in the world in the area of trustworthiness, and no one dares to be the first in the world.
The president's famous quote is "I would rather the people of the world bear me, not the people of the world." ”
What is this realm?
Non-saints can't be compared.
But after thinking about it, he reminded Deputy Director Ding: "Director Ding, you are very knowledgeable, do you know how to write the four words "Picking up gold?" ”
"Huh?"
Deputy Director Ding glanced at Captain Bao with a little deep meaning, and his cheeks twitched involuntarily, "Xiao Bao, you are very knowledgeable now." ”
"I have been by the prince's side for a long time, if there is no progress at all, it will not be a drag on the prince... Thank you, Director! ”
Bao Zhu took the two silver ingots from Deputy Director Ding with a smile on his face and put them in his pocket.
According to the bank's exchange ratio, almost one gold ingot is exchanged for four silver ingots, and Deputy Director Ding is still fair.
However, Deputy Director Ding didn't dare to guarantee whether the prince would take one or two generals as a model, after all, some people did something excessive.
Therefore, let the captain of the Bao Brigade prepare, if the prince wants to take people, he must catch people as soon as possible to avoid accidents.
"Don't worry, these people's swords and guns have all been handed in, and the prince is also wearing bulletproof vests, everything is ready, just wait for the prince to drop the bowl."
Having said that, Baozhu still stretched his vigilance to the fullest, his eyes were like sharp arrows on the faces of the generals, and finally stared at the Chenghua big bowl in front of the prince.
There is a gap in this bowl, and it has a history.
This bowl is the family heirloom of the prince, when the prince tiger fell into Jinchuan, the prince was left behind, and later the governor of Sichuan, Boqing, spent a lot of money to redeem it from Xiaojinchuan, and sent people to send eight hundred miles of fast horses to the prince.
After that, whether the prince was eating or drinking tea, he would use this bowl.
"Daqing Daily" also had a special report, the article is called "Jia Jia's Bowl".
The author has found another way to anthropomorphize the bowl, and through the perspective of this bowl, he depicts in detail the scene of Lord Jia Jia sharing weal and woe with the soldiers in Jinchuan, reflecting the spirit of Lord Jia Jia's hardship and simplicity and love for soldiers like sons.
In the market, the market price of the Chenghua rooster bowl is about 600 taels, which is about the salary of an ordinary green battalion soldier for nearly 40 years.
Although this big rooster bowl has become a defective product, because it is the ancestral treasure of Prince Rui, the cultural relics are of great value, so the market of this bowl has been as high as tens of thousands of taels.
The official secretary Asiha was even more willing to pay 20,000 taels to buy this bowl, but was decisively rejected by Prince Rui, saying that it was to be left for the prince and grandson, so that his spirit could be passed on from generation to generation.
Therefore, this bowl belongs to the money that cannot be bought.
The best of the best.
However, even if this broken bowl is worth a thousand gold, at a critical time, the prince said that it was a fall.
Baozhu is very clear about this.
Deputy Director Ding also stayed focused, glanced at the group of generals, and the more he looked at it, the more he didn't want to see him, and he couldn't help but snort slightly: "These guys are honest on the surface, but in fact, they have a bad stomach and are not trustworthy." ”
Bao Zhu nodded and said: "I think so too, it's best to kill them all, otherwise it will be difficult to keep out of chaos in the future." ”
Deputy Director Ding shook his head slightly: "It's unrealistic, how can you say that it was also recruited by the prince, you should understand the real money you spend, you should understand the truth that you want to do these guys, who will dare to vote for the prince in the future?" If you really want to gnaw down city by wall, how many people will have to be sacrificed? ”
"That's the truth, but Director Ding, do you dare to guarantee that these guys won't rebel against the prince in the future?"
Baozhu has reservations about this.
"As long as the prince treats them sincerely, these people shouldn't rebel against the prince, after all, they are all serious officials now... In these years, what have you done to be nourished by being an official? ”
While speaking, Deputy Director Ding tucked the briefcase in his hand under his armpit, and casually took off the cigarette roll resting on his ear and clamped it in his hand.
This cigarette was rewarded to him by the prince just now, and he didn't have time to smoke it.
I am also reluctant to smoke, and I want to keep it and taste it slowly.
Bao Zhu hesitated and said in a low voice: "Director Ding, I know that you are knowledgeable and your speech is reasonable, but the emperor seems to treat the prince well, and the prince still wants to kill the emperor..."
"Huh?"
Deputy Director Ding was so excited that he almost didn't cut off the cigarette roll, he looked around with a fixed mind, made a silent movement, and complained: "Xiaobao, you can tell me this kind of unfavorable words, but don't tell others, let the prince know that it's not good... And don't say that in front of me in the future, you know, I'm a member of the House Committee now, and I can't know about it. ”
"Hmm."
Bao Zhu nodded hurriedly, and saw that there were no outsiders, and Deputy Director Ding had a good relationship with him, so he still had the courage to say his thoughts.
It is this group of generals who have tasted the sweetness of Zhao'an, and the soldiers under them are also the only ones who obey their orders, and now even though they have returned to the imperial court, they are still firmly in charge of the military power, and the soldiers under their hands only know them and do not know the prince.
If it goes on like this, even if the prince can pacify Huguang, once the prince returns to the court, will this gang of subjugated generals make trouble again?
"If you can think of this question, it means that you have really improved, but don't worry, I believe that the wisdom of the prince is far above you and me."
Deputy Director Ding, who was holding a briefcase, pointed at the head of the country, "I estimate that the next step for the prince will definitely be to solve the concerns you raised, and the way is nothing more than to control the money and grain, collect his elite soldiers, and collect the financial, military and political powers." ”

"Will these guys say yes?"
Baozhu is not too optimistic about this.
"It depends on the prince's means."
Deputy Director Ding took out a lighter and lit a cigarette, and took a deep breath, "The prince is a masterpiece once in a thousand years, and it is a blessing for you and me to be able to live in the same era as such a masterpiece." I believe that with the wisdom of the prince, no matter how great the difficulty is, it will not be difficult for him, and we people just need to conscientiously carry out the instructions of the prince. ”
"Yes, yes, no matter how much we think about it, we can't think more than the prince's thoughts."
Bao Zhu thought so, and his eyes returned to the rostrum again.
......
On the central rostrum, Prince Rui was very unhappy.
Sometimes he slapped the table and scolded angrily, sometimes crossed his waist and pointed, and sometimes threw the king's hat around on the table, extremely indignant.
Why upset?
There must be a reason.
The specific reason was that Zheng Dajin, the governor of Hubei, got up to give a briefing to all the participating generals.
The briefings can be described as shocking and appalling, and one crime after another is heinous.
The relevant staff of the governor's yamen also distributed the printed internal documents one by one, which recorded in detail the recent illegal and criminal acts of the generals in various places who harassed the people and harmed the people, and who were tyrannical and unscrupulous.
However, after the internal documents were sent, there were not many generals who read them carefully, because most of them were illiterate.
The meeting had come to this point, and everyone knew why Prince Rui had called them.
Some of the generals couldn't sit still, because they did some of the briefings.
This made these generals not only worried, but their cold hairs stood on end, and then looked at the guards around the venue with knives and guns, and their expressions changed drastically, regretting that they should not hold this meeting for the sake of the establishment.
A few people have calf cramps.
Why?
I was afraid that I would be dragged out and cut by Prince Rui.
One by one, they all regretted that they shouldn't have handed over their weapons when they entered the door, but now it's okay, what's really wrong, they don't even have a chance to resist.
However, Prince Rui on the stage did not lift the table to call for people, but instead took the tea bowl and moistened his throat, looked around at the generals, and said: "What Lord Zheng said, did he wronged you a little?" ”
No one dared to speak.
Who would dare to answer at this time?
Isn't this self-defeating?
"If you don't speak, it means that Lord Zheng has not wronged you!"
Jia Liu's expression was cold, his right index finger tapped lightly on the table, and his face was also pale, "This time this king led his army to the south, and he didn't want the lives to be ruined, and he didn't want the people to suffer from this military disaster, so he resisted the pressure of the court to recruit Er and others, and gave preferential treatment to Er and others, and kept his promise to Er and other high-ranking officials, so that you and others would glorify their ancestors, and this is how you repay this king?" ”
There was still silence in the audience.
"The court has issued documents one after another asking the king to give an explanation, how to give this explanation! You are all the people who have been appeased by this king, and in the eyes of some people you are the people of this king, and now you are not a weapon, and you have not only harmed the people, but also affected this king, do you also have to give this king an explanation! ”
"If you don't give an explanation to this king, do you want this king to plead guilty to the emperor, saying that this king is blind to recruit you people! Do you want this king to tell the court that it is wrong for this king to treat you preferentially, and he should not give you a chance, but to cut you down the grass and eradicate the roots! ”
Jia Liuyi asked two questions in a row, and the audience was still silent.
It certainly can't be cold.
So, Jia Liu's eyes fell on Wang Daji, who was the first to surrender: "General Wang, you are the first to submit to this king, why don't you tell me how this king will explain to the court what you people have done." ”
Wang Daji didn't want Prince Rui to call himself by name, he stood up in a daze and didn't know what to say, and finally gritted his teeth: "The last general doesn't understand anything, listen to the prince's disposal!" ”
"It's all up to the king?"
Jia Liu snorted coldly, "Then the king asked you, what does that Song Xing have to do with you?" ”
"Song Xing?"
Wang Daji was stunned, and he didn't know if he truthfully answered that Song Xing was his righteous brother.
Just as he was hesitating, Prince Rui spoke.
"Don't you say that this king also knows, that Song Xing used to work with you in the same mine, you burned incense and formed an association, what is it called the Thirteenth Taibao, isn't it? Your Wang Daji is the Great Taibao, that Song Xing is the Seventh Taibao, six of your thirteen Taibao have surrendered to the king, and there are seven Taibao who are working for the thief army, yes or no! ”
Jia Liu's face was expressionless.
In fact, in addition to the Thirteen Taibao, these thieves also have the Four King Kongs, the Five Tiger Generals, the Six Little Ghosts, the Big Dipper, the Eight Tiger Riders, and the Dragon Nine Sons... and other miscellaneous nicknames, and there are four heavenly kings, eight biao horses, sixteen heavenly generals and other messy nicknames, one race at a time, like the major leaders of the peasant rebel army at the end of the Ming Dynasty, there are really many kings like dogs, dragons and tigers are all over the ground.
It seems that if these awesome-sounding nicknames are not made, these thieves and soldiers will not dare to rebel against the Qing Dynasty.
Rebelling with a nickname is similar to rebelling without a real name, this Jia Liu can understand.
But such an uneducated nickname is very ridiculous.
How can it be as good as Prince Tarui's nickname "Devil Six".
Seeing that Prince Rui even knew the thirteen Taibao of their righteous brother, Wang Daji dared to hide it, and honestly admitted that Song Xing was his sworn brother, but explained: "Lord Wang, it was all arranged by outsiders randomly, and the general never took these thirteen Taibao seriously from beginning to end, it was all arbitrarily arranged by idlers..."
As he was talking, he was interrupted by Prince Rui.
"The king doesn't care about the past, and he doesn't want to know... Since Song Xing is your righteous brother, this person has violated the king's law, fished the people, and killed the people's lives, and he didn't dare to come to see this king this time, obviously he didn't want to be sincere and obedient, so this king can't let such scum ruin the reputation of my Qing Dynasty officials and army, and ruin the discipline of the imperial court! ”
Speaking of this, Jia Liu waved his hand directly and said to Wang Daji: "Song Xing, you go and get it done, this king is responsible for the court and the people, and you are also responsible for this king!" ... If you can't get Song Xing, don't do it, Wang Daji, the registered general soldier, this king will give you the money to go home and farm. ”
"Lord Wang,"
Wang Daji was horrified in his heart, but his face was hesitant, because when they first burned incense, they swore that they could not live together but would die together.
If he led the troops to solve Song Xing, what would the other brothers think.
In the eyes of outsiders, it is also unrighteous.
Kill his brother for the sake of wealth and tell him how to mix in the road after Wang Daji.
When he was hesitating, Prince Rui was a little impatient and said: "If you can't do it, this king will send someone else to do it, you pack up and go back to your hometown, read your first righteous work, this king can give you 100 acres of fertile land, and you will be a rich man in the future." ”
The tone is beyond question.
Hearing this, Wang Daji couldn't help but be stunned, turned his heart sideways, gritted his teeth and said: "Don't worry, the prince will immediately take someone to Fang County to take off Song Xing's head!" ”
"Bring it and talk to the king again."
Jia Liu's eyes fell on the faces of the other generals, and he slowly got up: "You can come to the meeting, this king is very happy, it shows that you are really willing to submit to this king, but this king also wants to talk to you today, you don't wear the official uniform of the Qing Dynasty, this king doesn't say anything, but since you wear the official uniform of the Qing Dynasty, you have to know the law and discipline of the imperial court!" ”
After a pause,
"In the past, this king can be forgiven if he has not changed his original nature, but in the future, whoever dares to plunder and extort the people, this king will not only take him off his top, but also destroy him!"
