Chapter 210: Not Worthy of the Name

More than ten miles away, a gray-haired, sheepskin Turk sat on top of a horse and led a dozen of his men in another direction. CaIHonGeNXue

It was already dark, Zhu Di sat on the main seat in the tent, picked up his wine glass and smiled at Zhu Quan, "Today, our brothers will give General Sheng Yong a glass and talk about respect." This king did it first as a respect. With that, he raised his head and drank the wine.

Sheng Yong was summoned to a banquet by King Yan alone today, and seeing that the two princes were quite polite and virtuous corporals, although there was no lack of flattery in his heart, he also had a trace of anxiety. Being in the army, he is not a vulgar and reckless person who has been on the battlefield for a long time, and naturally he can vaguely perceive the relationship between the two noble highnesses in front of him and Lan Yu, the commander of the Northern Expeditionary Army, there always seems to be a trace of indescribable strangeness. Seeing Zhu Di toasting, he hurriedly raised his glass with both hands and drank it, and said humbly in his mouth, "The humble position is only a thousand households, how dare you call the general?" The two highnesses are so courteous, doesn't it break the villain? ”

Zhu Quan was drinking wine, and at the same time looked at Sheng Yong who was sitting opposite him with great interest, only to see that he had a thin face, a resolute expression, and a tall figure, more than half a head taller than himself, compared to Zhang Yu, Jing Jun and others who were sitting on the side, it seemed quite a bit of a sense of standing out from the crowd. In terms of Sheng Yong's position, it was indeed inconspicuous in the Northern Expedition army at this moment, and what impressed him was that when this army first arrived on the side of the fishing sea, when the army was unstable, he did not hesitate to order to shoot the Liaodong descendants of those few soldiers under Lan Yu who could not control the mount. The decisiveness of the killing is a far cry from today's humility, and it is a little difficult to imagine that it could be the same person.

Zhu Di couldn't help laughing when he heard this, waved his hand and signaled Ma Sanbao to pour wine for everyone, and looked at Sheng Yong with burning eyes and said with a smile: "On the day of the great destruction of the Yuan army, the general led the crowd to pursue the Tartars, not only captured hundreds of high-ranking officials and generals of the Yuan Dynasty, but also captured the brother-in-law of the former Tartar general Wang Baobao. Lan Dashuai promoted you to the commander of the capital, which is also a well-deserved move, why should the general be too humble? ”

Zhu Quan was also very surprised when he heard this, he followed Feng Tieling to pursue the Northern Yuan Emperor that day, and he was not clear about the capture of the generals in the army, and it was not until this moment that he knew that this Sheng Yong actually captured the high-ranking official Timur who was second only to the barbarians in the Northern Yuan Dynasty. You must know that because this person is the brother of Wang Baobao, a fierce general of the Yuan Dynasty, and he commands the elite main force of the Northern Yuan Dynasty left by his brother, even the Hongwu Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang cares about this person very much. It is not an exaggeration to say that such things that the generals of the Ming army dreamed of were great achievements. Although the official position of the commander of the capital granted by Lan Yu is still under the general officer, deputy general soldier, staff general, and guerrilla, it is already a real power figure in the local guard station.

Sheng Yong smiled when he heard this, and said, "I was lucky to get my job, a little bit of work, thanks to the fact that Lan Dashuai can afford it, and I am really ashamed to temporarily give him the position of commander and envoy." Speaking of this, after a pause, he said slowly, "This position has not been promulgated by the Ministry of War, and it is not allowed to be done." When he said this, he was not happy but worried in his heart. Secretly thinking about the so-called banquet is not a good banquet, it seems that we have to deal with it carefully today, don't leave a hidden danger for Lan Dashuai.

It turned out that in recent years, Zhu Yuanzhang, the Hongwu Emperor, in order to vest all the military power in the hands of the Ministry of War, so that it could be directly controlled by Zhu Biao, who is the heir to the throne in the future, had already made it clear that the official positions of more than 1,000 households in the army must be handed over to the Ministry of War to investigate and verify the merits of the people who have been promoted, and then make a decision and promulgate it. As the commander of the Northern Expedition, Lan Yu could temporarily command thousands of households or even tens of thousands of soldiers during the war. However, an official position like Sheng Yong, who was promoted to the commander of the capital, must be authorized by the Ministry of War to be calculated, and it is definitely not that Lan Yu can appoint and dismiss him on his own.

Zhu Quan smiled and looked at Sheng Yong, and secretly muttered in his heart that thousands of troops and horses fought to capture the barbarian chieftain, if others made such a meritorious service, it would naturally be regarded as a great honor, and he still did not get carried away after making such a great contribution, it seems that although this Sheng Yong and Lan Yu are not like a person with a temperament, he does have a talent for his own side. Thinking of this, I couldn't help but value this person a little more, and raised my glass to toast him.

Zhu Di heard Sheng Yong's words, and suddenly laughed and said, "General Sheng's words are also wrong, I want Lan Dashuai to wipe out the barbarian soldiers on the side of the sea, and the credit can be directly compared to the former Kaiping King, Wei Guogong, how can the military department of the people he recommended have a reason to refuse?" ”

Zhu Quan couldn't help but bow his head slightly when he heard this, and said in his heart that although Zhu Laosi's words were suspected of being a trap on Lan Yu, it was indeed Lan Yu who completed the fatal blow to the main army of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, and it was not an exaggeration to say that his credit to the Ming Dynasty could be traced back to Chang Yuchun and Xu Da.

Sheng Yong heard Zhu Di's praise of Lan Yu's words, but it was not easy to answer, if he agreed with King Yan's words, it was tantamount to saying that Lan Yu wanted to promote whoever the military department had to agree, these words were as King Yan, and King Ning's words were just fine. How dare a thousand households in the army openly override Lan Yu above the military department? Jinyi Wei Tongzhi Cao Wenbin led the army to the Northern Expedition, not only to spy on the Northern Yuan military situation and protect the two princes. At this moment, he is in the army, Lan Yu, as the commander of the first army, needs great prestige to command the whole army, if he speaks against King Yan's words and spreads it, he is afraid that Lan Dashuai will not like it even more, and he can only pretend to be deaf and dumb under the dilemma, pretending not to hear Zhu Di's words, and raising his glass to toast to the two princes.

Zhu Di gently put down the dry wine glass, suddenly took a long breath under the flickering of his eyes, and said slowly: "The so-called rewards and punishments are not clear, the military is not mighty, General Sheng does not need to worry, even if those nerds in the military department make a hindrance, this king and the younger brother of the right will have to face General Chen Sheng in front of his father and the emperor to capture the great merit of the barbarian chieftain." Speaking of this, he turned his head to Zhu Quan and smiled, "What does Brother Quan think of what Brother Wei said?" ”

"Haha, what the fourth brother said is exactly what I want." Zhu Quan agreed, and couldn't help but laugh in his heart, secretly thinking that only after being in the army for a long time could he understand what it meant to be divided into factions. Chang Mao, Chang Sheng's soldiers and horses are brave and peerless, and they belong to the Chang Yuchun series formed by the bloody battle with the Yuan army in the past years and the Yuan army over time. Those thousands of households, hundreds of households are like wolves and tigers, eager to cut off the heads of the Tartar soldiers and civilians to receive merit. Some looked down on other Ming soldiers and soldiers for their softness towards Tartar captives. Lan Yu is naturally effortless to command, if he is replaced by other generals in the army such as Wuding Marquis Guo Ying, I am afraid that it will not be so easy to call.

Sheng Yong was drinking when he suddenly heard Zhu Di and Zhu Quan's words, his hand couldn't help shaking, and he spilled half of the wine in the cup. He naturally understands that if King Yan and King Ning recommend him to His Majesty the Emperor, then it is likely that he will get more than just a command position, but in his life, he is afraid that he will be regarded by the world as King Yan and King Ning all the way. High-ranking officials and sinister paths coexist, how should we choose?

After thinking about it for a while, Sheng Yong had already made up his mind, and his complexion instantly returned to normal, and he said calmly, "I think Your Majesty personally led thousands of troops and horses in the past, and how many battles he went through. Sheng is worthy of his name, a mediocre person, with a little credit, how dare he work with the two highnesses to mobilize the people and get an axe in front of His Majesty? It's up to the adults of the military department to decide. At this moment, his mind is particularly sober, although the rumors of King Yan and King Ning in front of him have always been valued by His Majesty the Emperor, after all, he is only a prince, and the current prince of the East Palace is Zhu Biao. As a figure in the army, it doesn't hurt to accompany the two highnesses to drink two glasses of wine, if it is recommended by King Yan and King Ning and promoted, I am afraid that it will be easy to get on the boat, but it is not a thought in this life to get off the ship. King Yan and King Ning are far from being compared with the crown prince, and this reason is enough for him to reject Zhu Di's "kindness".

"Is it really so a toast and don't eat and drink?" As Zhu Di's henchman, Zhang Yu heard that Sheng Yong was so ignorant, and couldn't help but stand up, glared at Sheng Yong and said.

Sheng Yong was already drunk at this time, his face was flushed, and he couldn't help but panic when he heard the words, so he quickly stood up and knelt down on one knee to Zhu Di and said, "Humble duty is not enough to drink, and if you offend the two highnesses, you hope to be punished." ”

Zhu Di's cheeks were frosty, and he rebuked Zhang Yu: "Do you take your drunken words seriously? and not yet give the king a retreat. ”

After Zhang Yu bowed down to receive the order, he walked out of the tent backwards.

Zhu Di's face eased, he smiled and walked up two steps, helped Sheng Yong up, and said gently, "Zhang Yu, this person is vulgar, and the general doesn't need to be as knowledgeable as him." Today, the king invited the general to drink, but I am afraid that Lan Dashuai will not like it when he knows it, so you can go back to the army to rest. ”

When Sheng Yong heard the words, he reluctantly withdrew from the tent and left. Hurriedly walked towards the military camp where he was stationed, and secretly sighed in his heart that blessings and misfortunes lurked, and he had just made a meritorious achievement, and in the blink of an eye, it was so sinister.

After Zhu Quan said goodbye to Zhu Di, he slowly walked out of the account, and secretly laughed in his heart that this Sheng Yong was able to capture the barbarian chieftain in the midst of thousands of troops, which shows that his courage is extraordinary. On the surface, this person seems to be submissive, not as unruly as Lan Yu, but in fact he is an extremely smart person, interesting, really fucking interesting.

The cold wind blew the military flag outside the tent, Zhang Yu slowly came to Zhu Di's side, and said in a low voice, "Your Highness, from the perspective of your subordinates, Sheng Yong is quite talented but very slippery, and his skills in pretending to be confused are first-class. Since they refuse to use it for you, they are afraid that they will become a disaster one day. ”

Zhu Di looked at the back of Zhu Quan leaving, and said with a smile, "This king really doesn't have the capital to let him take refuge at the moment, so it's no wonder that he is." Speaking of this, he suddenly chuckled and continued, "This king has found that a person's name is sometimes really different. Seeing Zhang Yu beside him, Zhu Neng and the others both looked puzzled, and said with a smile, "The thousand households under Lan Yu are safe, brave, and pure outlaws." None of his enemies are safe, and he himself is bloodthirsty, so how can he be safe? Jin Yiwei commanded Jiang Xian, looking at the name, it can be seen that his father wants him to be a knowledgeable sage, but he is ruthless and does everything, but he is not virtuous at all, and his real name is not worthy of his name. And this Sheng Yong is destined to be mediocre in this life.
