Chapter 41 Self-recommendation
Murong Shen suddenly introduced himself, the prince was a little surprised, and turned his head to look at Murong Shen: "Why do you suddenly want to go to Beihai County?" ”
Murong Yao frowned, and glanced at his eldest son unhappily: "Such a big thing, what are you involved with a former captain." Why don't you ask Your Highness for your sin! ”
When he was on an errand in the palace, regardless of father and son, he only talked about official positions.
Murong Shen was not in a hurry, and replied: "General, please calm your anger, please listen to the words of the last general." ”
"Whether the King of the North Sea is really sick or not, it is still unknown. Beihai County is the domain of the King of Beihai and has been in business for more than 30 years. Ma Gonggong went alone, but he was afraid that he might not be able to deter the King of Beihai. Therefore, the last general was willing to lead his troops to go with him, so that the king of Beihai would not dare to act rashly. ”
There is some truth to this.
Ma Sansi is an inner servant, where can he be majestic in front of the dignified vassal king. Murong Shen is different. The former captain of Wupin, the eldest son of the general of the Praetorian Guard, the next head of the Murong family, and then bringing elite soldiers to the palace is enough to deter the king of Beihai.
The prince nodded slightly: "Okay, you will bring a thousand guards with you." ”
Murong Shen gave his hand and took the order: "Yes." ”
Murong Yao couldn't stop it, so he had to suppress the anger in his heart.
At this moment, Chen Dong, the secretary of the military department, came over with a solemn face.
During the state funeral, all officials above the fifth rank must enter the palace to kneel. Only the junior officials of the six ministries were left behind.
Chen Shangshu is fifty-two this year, his face is wrinkled, his hair is half white, but his body is very tough. When walking, you stride with your head held high, and you are full of tigers.
Chen Shangshu was a confidant of Emperor Yongxing. The prince hadn't sat on the dragon chair yet, and he had to be polite to the old minister: "Chen Shangshu suddenly came, could it be that the military department has something important to do?" ”
Chen Shangshu's eyes flashed with anger, and he reported in a deep voice: "Your Highness, Zheng De, the general of the Beihai County garrison, has made a twist, and Wang Tong, the city gate official under his command, secretly colluded with the bandits in Qinglong Mountain, and was taken down and sent to the capital together with the witnesses. On the way, they were pursued by bandits, the post house was burned down, and the officers and soldiers suffered heavy casualties. Wang Tong was also robbed by bandits. ”
What?
The prince's color changed, and he was furious: "Bastard! Wild! When did this happen, and why didn't anyone report it to Lonely in time? ”
A gang of bandits dared to rob and kill the officers and soldiers of the imperial court! And there is no royal law anymore!
What made the prince even more angry was that Emperor Yongxing's bones were not cold, and he had not been buried, so he made such a fuss. This is a slap in the face of him, the prince!
Once this matter spreads all over the world, and bandits everywhere learn from it, won't the world be in chaos?
The crown prince was furious, and Chen Shangshu and General Murong immediately surrendered their hands to plead guilty.
Qinglongzhai Zhou Sui?
Murong Shen quickly lowered his eyelids to hide the flash of astonishment.
The old minister is ashamed, in fact, Zheng De has been on the stage before. Because the old minister was in the palace and there was no one in charge of the military department, this letter was pressed in the military department. ”
Chen Shangshu pleaded guilty with a look of shame: "It wasn't until this letter was sent again that it alarmed the old minister." The old minister was derelict and asked His Highness to surrender his guilt. ”
Chen Shangshu's words are true and half-mixed.
The previous letter, of course, Chen Shangshu already knew. He also received a strange unsigned letter describing the arrogance and cruelty of the bandits in Qinglongzhai.
It's just that just a few days after Emperor Yongxing died, the palace was engaged in a big funeral. Such unfortunate facts should not be publicized.
Now that things are getting bigger, we can't hide it anymore.
The prince was furious, and the fat on his face kept shaking: "Chen Shangshu, immediately send troops to suppress the bandits." ”
Chen Shangshu, as the secretary of the military department, is theoretically in charge of all the generals. However, the three members of the Dajin military are all highly powerful. The official documents of the Ministry of War can also mobilize the garrisons in various places. The 100,000 troops in the capital were all in the hands of Murong Yao, Feng Chuan, and Gao Peng.
"The old minister obeys the order," Chen Shangshu respectfully received the order, and said quite cautiously: "There are many bandits in Qinglong Mountain, and the nearest Jiaodong Army has 10,000 soldiers, but I am afraid that I will not be able to compete for all the merits." The old minister thought that he might as well send some elite soldiers from the capital. ”
The real elite soldiers of the Great Jin Dynasty are all in the capital.
The prince was furious, and didn't think much about it: "Allow you to invite!" ”
As soon as the words fell, Captain Murong, who was silent on the side, recommended himself again: "Your Highness, the last general is going to Beihai County, and he won't bother the two masters." The last general is willing to lead his troops to suppress the bandits! ”
Qingzhou is a long way, and it is inconvenient for the army to march, and it will take a lot of time on the road. Grain, grass, baggage, and logistical supply are not trivial matters.
Since Murong Shen went to Qingzhou, it was also appropriate to cooperate with the Jiaodong Army to suppress a bandit by the way.
The prince's gaze swept over Murong Shen's sharp and handsome face: "Okay." The Praetorian Guards are the elite soldiers of the Great Jin Dynasty, and each one is ten. Lone gives you five people, be sure to exterminate that gang of bandits, and cut off the head of the bandit leader to see Lone. ”
"Yes."
……
The matter of suppressing bandits cannot be delayed.
After Chen Shangshu received the order, he immediately returned to the official document of his subordinates. One letter was sent to the Jiaodong Army, ordering Li Ji to lead the troops to suppress the bandits. The other was sent to the Praetorian Guard.
The Praetorian Guard has not been dispatched for several years, and there are not a few people who are enthusiastic and eager to try this official document.
With such things as taking the roster and ordering soldiers, it is not Murong Shen's turn.
Murong Yao, the general of the Praetorian Guard, took the roster with an expressionless face, ordered the three battalions of people, and gave Murong Shen the tiger talisman to lead the troops.
With the official documents of the Ministry of War and the tiger talisman in his hand, he can justifiably send troops. Mobilizing troops for no reason is a taboo in the army and is regarded as a rebellion.
Murong Shen held the tiger talisman, and a light flashed in his eyes.
Murong Yao felt angry in his heart, and with a wave of his hand, everyone retreated: "What's going on with you today?" Without consulting me, he asked Ying to go to Beihai County without authorization. ”
"It's okay to pass the decree, are the bandits in Qinglong Mountain so easy to kill? A few years ago, it was not that the DPRK and China had not sent troops, but as soon as they entered Qinglong Mountain, they were trapped by the endless mountains and forests. The bandits killed a lot, and the number of people lost by the imperial army was more than the number of dead bandits. ”
"Others don't know about this, don't you know? Now open your mouth and go to Qinglong Mountain! Hum! I think you're dazed! ”
Murong Shen raised his eyes and looked at his father, who was fierce: "It is precisely because it is not easy to suppress bandits that I want to go even more." ”
Murong Yao said coldly: "What kind of bullshit is this. In case the boat capsizes in the gutter and something goes wrong, the reputation you have fought for in the past few years will be over. ”
Murong Shen said lightly: "There will be no mistakes." I will personally behead Zhou Sui and take his head back to the capital. ”
Murong Yao snorted from his nose: "Don't think Lao Tzu doesn't know. You insisted on going to Beihai County, didn't it do it for that Zhao Liu girl? ”
Murong Shen: "......"
Murong Yao saw that his son was silent, and his heart became more and more annoyed: "I have already picked a good family for you. Although Gao Peng's daughter is ordinary, she is a noble daughter of the Hou Mansion. The Murong family and the Gao family got married, and the benefits don't need to be said, you should also understand. ”
"You are a lard and you can't do it, why do you insist on marrying that Zhao Xiyan who has never met?"
