Chapter Seventy-Four: The gambling silver in the Shenji camp is rotten, and the prince in the Chinese military tent is here
The four families of Jinling are all prosperous and lossy, and now there is a frontier minister, which is essentially a common major event of the four families.
In mid-April, it had been some time since the two masters of the Wang family went north, and the four Jinling families, whose hearts were fluctuating, gradually stabilized......
On the morning of this day, Jia Lian left Rongguo Mansion after having dinner, and was sent to the Shenji Camp outside the city by Zhao Tianliang and Zhao Tiandong brothers as usual.
Because it was the fifteenth day, Jia Lian was going to greet Jia's mother in the morning, so the time to arrive at the Shenji camp was usually a little late.
The Shenji Battalion is divided into five battalions, except for the middle battalion, which has four divisions, and the rest of each battalion has three divisions, and Jia Lian is one of the three divisions in the left sentry battalion of the Shenji Battalion.
The carriage went all the way to the left sentry barracks, and the gatekeepers all recognized Jia Lian's carriage these days, and also knew that he was riding in a carriage with a solid wooden railing, and the sound outside was difficult to hear in the carriage.
So, a person standing at the gate of the left sentry camp greeted with a smile and shouted:
"Zhao Da Zhao Er, you two lost this yesterday, and you don't have a family background today!"
The guards at the bottom did not check, and the military gate was wide open, and the Zhao brothers drove in.
Zhao Tianliang Zhao Tiandong slowed down, parked the carriage in the military gate, and shouted while looking up at the man who was talking: "You wait at noon, I'm afraid you don't have any money!" β
The Zhao brothers were promoted by Jia Lian and officially became the pro-army around Jia Lian, and their status has risen, and they are considered to be officers who are not in the stream, so they are now very good at eating in the left sentry camp.
Opening the car door, Jia Lian picked up his official robe and jumped down.
The soldiers guarding the door happened to be under the jurisdiction of Jia Lian, and when they saw Jia Lian coming out of the carriage, they all shouted sparsely:
"I've seen Toji-sama..."
Jia Lian nodded as usual, first looked around, and finally looked up at a senior standing on the camp gate.
It was this person who greeted Zhao Tianliang and Zhao Tiandong just now.
In the past, Jia Lian sat in the car and naturally didn't know what he said outside the car, but unfortunately today he happened to open the window in front of the military gate to breathe, and vaguely heard some words.
Those words were not gambling money or anything.
Military discipline in the Shenji Battalion is lax, and although Jia Lian is an officer, he has always cared little about it. However, today someone was gambling in the army, and he openly bumped into Jia Lian's head, but he was not asking Jia Lian to take care of him?
Na Shichang, who was stared at by Jia Lian, wiped the cold sweat on his head, didn't dare to make a sound, and only scolded himself secretly......
Because he still had to go to the office to show up, Jia Lian did not have a seizure, but only snorted coldly and left for the time being.
Zhao Tianliang and Zhao Tiandong went over to set up the carriage, but they didn't see the next scene at the camp gate just now. When they came back, they saw that Jia Lian was gone, so they hurriedly followed and opened the way for Jia Lian in the camp.
Jia Lian saw the two of them following on the way, so he called them to come and shouted:
"What good things you've done in the barracks these days!"
Zhao Tianliang and Zhao Tiandong knew that the gambling money had happened as soon as they heard it.
Poof! The eldest brother Zhao Tiandong was honest, and immediately lay down and admitted his mistake.
The gambling money in the army is not big, but it is not small, and I heard that the Beijing camp caught the least of them is also 50 military sticks, and they will be abolished.
Brother Zhao Tianliang wanted to be more active, he accompanied the smiling face to admit his mistake to Jia Lian first, and then said:
"Second master, your body is expensive, so I don't know... This is true in the barracks. The second grandmother in the house also instructed our brothers a while ago to have more contacts with colleagues in the army, so that we can help the second master, and this is ......."
Saying that, Zhao Tianliang was still depressed and aggrieved for a while, and he didn't say a word about his happiness when gambling money.
Hearing Zhao Tianliang move out of Wang Xifeng, Jia Lian thought about it, and finally kicked it over, scolding: "Dare to flamboyate me, but you shouldn't be beaten!" β
Zhao Tianliang was kicked to the ground and screamed in pain.
There were soldiers in the left sentry camp who came and went when they saw Jia Dusi kicking people and leaving, but they were not surprised, and they only acted as if they did not see it.
Only on the side, Zhao Tiandong hurriedly got up to see the situation of Zhao Tianliang who was kicked. Zhao Tianliang watched Jia Lian leave, but he staggered up, and he didn't cry out in pain, and said with a smile: "The second master values our brother in the end, so he stayed first." β
His screams of pain were naturally pretended, and Zhao Tiandong scolded him when he saw this, so he hurriedly dragged him to chase Jia Lian again.
Jia Lian's side has already arrived in his own office, and the offices of the three divisions of the left sentry camp are all next to each other, which is just the same as the guard office in the imperial city, and this part of the left sentry camp can be called the capital office.
Zhao Tianliang then leaned on the door of the office and entered the house, ready to continue to beg for mercy, but was stopped by Jia Lian halfway, and just asked the two brothers how much they lost in gambling.
Speaking of losing money, the brothers of the Zhao family were angry in their hearts, their brothers had always been serving Jia Lian as a long-term follower, and when they arrived in the Shenji Battalion, they could be regarded as the leaders of the pro-army. As the saying goes, there are seven officials in front of the prime minister, and they should be considered characters in this left outpost camp because of Jia Lian's relationship, right? But the soldiers below don't know a thing or two about filial piety! Gambling money, I can't wait to win away all the other dirty pants!
It is not good for them to gamble in the Rongguo Mansion, not only the old lady in the mansion is in charge, but the second master Lian also doesn't like it, so they indulged in the Shenji camp for a while, where are they the opponents of the skilled gambling soldiers.
Because of this, the Zhao family brothers have lost for many days, and the more they lose, the more they want to win.
The two of them only cared about pouring bitter water, but Jia Lian was a little impatient when he heard it, thinking about how to deal with the Zhao family brothers and Nashi Chang to gather to gamble for money.
At this time, a herald of the Shenji Battalion hurriedly entered the house and shouted:
"Jia Dusi, the governor has called the commander of the fifth battalion and the sixteenth division to go to the middle camp, and there is a shortage of you in the left sentry camp!"
When Jia Lian heard this, he was so angry that he shot the case, and scolded for a while. "I said that this is a bit strange in the capital, where have all the people gone. It turned out that the two birds left without saying hello! Instead, let me sit here. β
Jia Lian came late today, how could the other two Dusi stay and wait for him.
Feng Tang, the governor of the Shenji Battalion, recruited him, and it was not easy to slack off, Jia Lian finished scolding, hurriedly went out of the office, asked someone to lead the horse, and went straight to the middle camp.
The five battalions of the Shenji Battalion are not far apart and are connected to each other. Jia Lian already knew the road, and he arrived at the middle camp without riding a horse, and found Feng Tang's tent.
Fortunately, Governor Feng Tang did not arrive at this time, and only the officers of the fifth battalion and the sixteenth division of the Shenji Battalion sat in the camp tent.
After Jia Lian came in, he found the location of the left sentry camp, first saluted the commander of the camp, and then sat down. Jia Lian was the last one to arrive, but because Feng Tang had not arrived, he did not attract much attention.
More than a dozen commanders in the camp were talking to each other, guessing the Governor's intentions in calling them. The commanders of the battalions heard some rumors, and at this time they just closed their eyes and rested.
About half an hour later, when even the commander of the fifth battalion was waiting a little restless, there was finally movement outside the camp tent.
"I've seen His Royal Highness the Prince!
β¦β¦
The prince is here!
In an uproar, the officers of the 5th Battalion and 16th Division of the Shenji Battalion hurriedly left their seats and stood by the passage of the camp tent.
The leading eunuchs walked in first, and told the officers to retreat, so as not to surprise the nobles. Then Fang was a tall and thin man who came in, with a sallow face, wearing a python suit, a white jade crown on his head, and a canary on his feet. This man is none other than the crown prince of this dynasty.
After the crown prince, Feng Tang, the governor of the Shenji Battalion, walked in half a position behind, and Feng Tang was followed by many people, all of whom wore civilian and military attachΓ©s.
The officers of the Shenji Battalion, who were originally in the camp tent, already knelt down to greet them, and said in unison:
"I've seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
The crown prince, the prince of the country, deserves this gift.
The prince walked through the passage in the camp tent, sat down on Feng Tang's main seat, and then raised his hand and said, "Everyone get up." β
Hearing this, the officers of the 5th Battalion and 16th Division got up and stood with apprehension.
ββ¦ Why did His Royal Highness the Crown Prince suddenly come to the Shenji Camp? β
Governor Feng Tang spoke next to the crown prince, just to solve the confusion of the officers under his command, and said:
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is going to go outside Beijing to worship the emperor, and my Shenji Battalion needs to be assigned a battalion to accompany him..."
The first emperor is the grandfather of Emperor Yonglong and the father of Emperor Taishang. Seeing that the emperor's sacrifice was approaching, Emperor Yonglong issued an edict to make the crown prince and Zhan Shifu fully responsible.
Therefore, the prince found the Shenji Camp and wanted to personally pick a battalion of people to travel.
