Chapter 19: Once a Son of Heaven and a Courtier
Qingzhu County.
At noon, the sun was high.
Gu Fengqing returned alone from Tianfu.
The horseshoe stepped through the 100 households on Qingshi Street, and in the courtyard, all the brocade guards in the 100 households had been waiting for a long time.
"How's that, sir?"
Guo Xinyuan saw Gu Fengqing coming back, and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, and asked eagerly.
In fact, when he saw Gu Fengqing come back safe and sound, he already knew the result...... But after all, I still want to get confirmation from Gu Fengqing's mouth.
Gu Fengqing didn't answer, but raised his eyes to look at the courtyard.
The eyes of the brocade guards were over, with expectations, disappointments, and indifference......
All kinds of emotions are in sight.
"From today!"
Gu Fengqing faced the brocade guards present.
In the crowd, he saw Lu Wenzhong, Zhang Qing with a broken arm, and saw those he knew and those he didn't know......
"This place ......" Gu Fengqing stretched out his index finger with his right hand and pointed downward, then withdrew his index finger and pointed at himself with his thumb: "I have the final say!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone present was stunned.
Guo Xinyuan came back to his senses for the first time, and immediately showed a touch of excitement on his face, and then immediately knelt down on one knee and shouted in his mouth: "Guo Xinyuan, I have seen a hundred adults!"
Everyone else knelt down as soon as they were stunned.
They understand that after Gu Fengqing returned from the Thousand Households, he officially became one of the Hundred Households in Qingzhu County!
Gu Fengqing accepted this gift calmly.
There is no pretense, and there is no opportunity to buy people's hearts!
For him, no!
He will use strength, use means-
Conquer them all!
......
Inside the hall.
Gu Fengqing sat in the main hall, and under the hall were a number of small flags and general flags in the hundred households.
Looking at the person on it, dressed in a big red python flying fish suit, a graceful bearing was born invisibly, which made everyone present subconsciously awe in their hearts and did not dare to look directly.
"I summoned everyone here to discuss the next charter of our hundred households!"
Seeing that everyone had arrived, Gu Fengqing said slowly.
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the hall had different faces.
Those close to Gu Fengqing were secretly happy in their hearts, vaguely looking forward to it.
The person who was estranged from Gu Fengqing was worried in his heart, and he was at a loss for a while.
Although Gu Fengqing has not said it explicitly, everyone present knows that this is clearly a reward for meritorious deeds.
Once a son of heaven and a courtier, when Lin Ying was a hundred households, they were Lin Ying's henchmen, and the most unfortunate was also a close relationship.
And now that Gu Fengqing is in power, he naturally wants to promote his henchmen.
It's just that there are only a few positions in these 100 households, a radish and a pit, who is going to be promoted by the 100 households today, and who is coming down...... It's about their own future, and of course they're very nervous.
Among them, the most nervous is Zhang Qing.
At the beginning, he was Lin Ying's confidant and had a bad relationship with Gu Fengqing, but now that Gu Fengqing is in power, I am afraid that this time, his position as the general flag will not be able to be kept!
And if the position of the general flag is gone...... In the past, he relied on hundreds of henchmen and was the general banner, bullying people in the hundreds of households, and provoked countless enemies outside, but now he has lost power, and this will be the future days......
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but turn pale.
There was also a deep sense of remorse in my heart.
Knowing Today......
Ignoring Zhang Qing's thoughts, Gu Fengqing looked at everyone in the hall and said slowly: "At the beginning, he rebelled against Lin Ying's reign, bullied the weak, and cronyism, making this brocade guard a miasma!"
"Jinyiwei is the pro-army of the Son of Heaven, how can he be worthy of the trust of the present if he goes on like this? This official can't stand it, and now it is a hundred households, so he naturally has to rectify it!"
After that, Gu Fengqing focused his attention on Zhang Qing: "Where is Zhang Qing, the chief flag?"
Seeing that he was shouting at him, Zhang Qing was full of excitement, and he had to step forward hard, and only promised: "Belong, subordinates are here!"
His face turned pale, and he didn't know if it was because of fear in his heart or because of his broken arm.
"You were originally Lin Ying's confidant, and you have done a lot of evil things for Lin Ying, and now Lin Ying has been beaten as a rebel, it stands to reason that you should be sent to Jinyi Guard Prison no matter what......"
When this sentence was spoken, Zhang Qing's body suddenly trembled like chaff, and there was no more blood on his face, and he knelt down with a puff: "Adults spare their lives, adults spare their lives!"
It's no wonder that Zhang Qing is scared, Jinyi Wei is in prison, that is where his own people are subconsciously frightened when they mention it.
But whoever goes in never sees anyone come out alive!
Now that he heard Gu Fengqing's meaning, he actually wanted to send him to Jinyi Wei Prison, how could he not be afraid.
"But ......"
Gu Fengqing suddenly smiled and said: "For the sake of your service to Jinyi Wei for so many years, I will spare you this time for the time being! It's just that you can't do this position anymore!"
What the?
Hearing this, Zhang Qing was overjoyed.
Death is not terrible, what is terrible is that life is worse than death.
I thought I might be going to be killed, but I never thought I would let myself go...... At this moment, Zhang Qing had a feeling of happiness in his heart.
He hurriedly knelt on the ground, and said with tears in his eyes: "Thank you, thank you, thank you for not killing!"
As for the position of the general flag...... It was a blessing to be able to save his life, but Zongqi no longer dared to hope for it.
Looking at Zhang Qing, who was kneeling on the ground and kowtowing, Gu Fengqing's mind surged.
He has no deep grudge against this Zhang Qingben, he just listened to Lin Ying's orders, and it stands to reason that he didn't do anything wrong.
Can......
Sometimes, it's not like you won't be punished for doing something wrong!
Standing on the wrong side is enough to be fatal!
Gu Fengqing can keep him and not kill him, which can be regarded as soft-hearted.
"Your right arm is broken, it's not appropriate to make a fan...... In the future, let's be a civilian counselor in Jinyiwei! Let's go back and find you a street to retire!"
Gu Fengqing waved his hand and said.
Hearing this, Zhang Qing was grateful again, and thanked him a thousand times, and then retreated.
Looking at the small flags, looking at Zhang Qing, the general flag under one person in the hundred households in the past, has fallen to this point today, and in addition to sighing, I can't help but feel a little sad about the death of a rabbit and a fox.
"Guo Xinyuan!"
Gu Fengqing looked at the sturdy man standing at the end of the hall and shouted.
Guo Xinyuan wore an embroidered spring knife on his waist, and after hearing the words, he stepped forward steadily, and then knelt on one knee, clasped his fists and saluted: "My lord!"
"The position of the general flag Zhang Qing is vacant, and in the future, you are the general flag of these hundred households!"
Hearing this, Guo Xinyuan's lips trembled for a moment.
Although I had thought of this scene for a long time, when this moment really came, I couldn't help but feel my heart swelling, and my eyes were a little blurry.
He vaguely saw that he was bullied when he was a child and was unable to fight back, his mother starved to bed without food at home, and he worked hard but was expropriated by the strong officials, and he was unwilling to join the Jinyi Guard......
"Hoo ......"
He came back to his senses, and for many years he had been instructed like a dog...... The accumulated resentment and unwillingness seemed to begin to disintegrate at this moment.
Eventually, it turned into a light sound.
Returning to the present, Guo Xinyuan clenched his fists, saluted, and said slowly word by word: "Subordinate, thank you!"
There are not many words, but the words are full of firmness.
Swear allegiance to the death, unswerving!
After Guo Xinyuan's affair was finished, Gu Fengqing set his eyes on another person.
Standing in the corner, standing silent.
Seems to be indifferent to anything.
"Lu Wenzhong!"
Gu Fengqing's eyes showed a look of deep groaning, thought about it, and said, "Your general flag position, it's still the same!"
Hearing this, a strange color flashed in Lu Wenzhong's eyes.
After a moment of silence, he stepped forward and saluted with his fists: "Thank you, sir!"
......
Then Gu Fengqing removed the position of a few small flags and pulled a few of them up.
These Jinyi guards, who were removed from the position of Xiaoqi, did not have a grudge against him, and the reason why they did this was only because they were a hundred households at the beginning and wanted to stand up.
If you want to blame, you can only blame them for their bad luck.
After everything was over, seeing that most of the people in the hall had changed, Gu Fengqing's face was solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "Let's leave it like this for the time being! Don't be happy too early for those who are promoted, and don't be happy if you stay in office!"
"This time is different from the past, in my place, the capable go up, the incompetent go down! those who obey go up, those who don't obey go down, I hope you will cooperate more in the future!"
"If you let the official know that someone eats inside and outside, and the yang and the yin are violated...... The official recognizes you, and the knife in the officer's hand doesn't recognize you!"
Hearing this, everyone's eyelids jumped, and they couldn't help but look at each other.
"I'll wait, obey the orders of Lord Baihu!"
Gu Fengqing waved his hand, and everyone saluted again, and then retreated.
In the hall, he was the only one left for a while.
At this time, Gu Fengqing took a long breath, looked at the outside of the courtyard, and muttered: "Things have to be done one by one, and then ...... Who's it?"
......
