Chapter 599: Wenda and Li Cheng
There is the Song Dynasty that developed to the era of Zhao Ji, although when it comes to wealth, it can be said that it is the crown of the entire Song Dynasty, but when it comes to redundant officials, it is also one of the best in the entire history.
Originally, according to the operation process of this imperial court and the degree of the officials' honest arguments, if they wanted to concentrate all the elite soldiers and strong generals of all hundreds of state capitals and counties in Bianliang, it was impossible to do it without a year or two of effort, and there would even be many state capitals that could not receive the order at all.
But this time, because of Zhao Ji's fear and hatred of the Tang army, coupled with his ambition to surpass the kings of the Zhao and Song dynasties, he exerted great pressure on his courtiers, and even publicly declared in the court that if the military horses of any state capital and county did not arrive within the time limit, from the governor and the state capital to the ordinary soldiers, one was counted as one, and all of them were punished with capital punishment.
At this time, most of the officials were backed by those traitorous ministers, and those eunuchs and officials who announced the decree did not receive less benefits, for their own "money", where could those officials and eunuchs take care of anything else, and at the moment of receiving the will, they rushed out of Beijing and galloped wildly to various places.
As one of the four capitals of the Great Song Dynasty, the Daimyo Mansion is undoubtedly very close, and those eunuchs and officials who issue edicts will come from time to time, so that those soldiers guarding the city often laugh and say that as long as they see the old man with a shelf and a high head from a distance, he must have come to issue an edict.
However, today they were stunned, and from a distance, they could see two galloping horses like arrows from the string, carrying two yellow angry dragons, and like wild horses unleashed, galloping towards the gate of the Daimyo's mansion, and in the surprised eyes of the soldiers, they swept into the city gate like a mad race.
"Which young master was that just now, why did he die like this?" A soldier touched the sweat on his forehead and asked with some fear.
"What kind of young master is it, Lao Tzu can see it clearly, it is clearly the Zhou eunuch who often comes to our Daimyo Mansion to fight the autumn wind, but this eggless thing, how can he run so fast today?" The older soldier looked at the city and scratched his head for some reason.
These soldiers chatted without a word at the city gate, and the moment Liang Shijie received the holy decree, he couldn't help but scold the person who came up with this idea with a dog's blood, but he still had a very comfortable smile on his face, and while asking someone to take two thousand taels of silver tickets, he also asked in a low voice: "Gonggong Zhou, what is the big thing that happened in this court, and he actually asked the government to select elite soldiers and strong generals to go to Beijing immediately?" ”
Eunuch Zhou looked around, and quietly whispered a few words in Liang Shijie's ear, until Liang Shijie's face changed greatly, and he sat down quite weakly.
When Eunuch Zhou saw him like this, he took the silver ticket from his hand, "Our family has to go to the next family to pass the decree, so we will leave!" It's just that he hasn't taken two steps yet, so he turned his head to look at Liang Shijie with some hesitation, and suddenly remembered Liang Shijie's care for him over the years, so he walked back to his side and whispered, "Lord Zhongshu, this recruitment is not trivial, when you quickly pick up the elite to go, don't delay the time, if you cause the anger of the saint, I am afraid that it will be difficult for the Taishi to protect the adult at that time, and please make a quick decision!" With that, he saluted Liang Shijie slightly, turned his head and left.
After Eunuch Zhou left, Liang Shijie sat for a long time, then let out a long sigh and shouted rather lonely: "Come on, come on!" Quickly call Wenda and Li Cheng to see me! ”
Not long after, Wen Da and Li Cheng were called, and unlike in the past, their faces did not have the smile of the past, but they had more slaughter, and they were both holding a long strip of cloth in their hands.
When the two saw Liang Shijie, they didn't say a word, they just knelt on the ground, Liang Shijie saw this, his heart sank suddenly, he walked quickly to the two, and said with a slight trembling voice: "The two eunuchs, what do you mean?" It's not that you've ......"
The two glanced at each other, kowtowed three times to Liang Shijie, and then untied the strip of cloth in their hands, revealing the cold and shining knives and guns in them. ”
"Exactly!" Wen Da shouted in a deep voice, looking at the eyes of the Shensha knife, full of memories and gentleness, he stretched out his hand and gently stroked the knife surface, as if he had touched the face of his own family, "This knife has accompanied me to walk the world, and I have killed many famous heroes, and I don't know how many Xiaoxiao has become the soul of the knife, I thought that after becoming the capital eunuch, there would be no blood and passion in the past, and there would be no chance to fight side by side again in this life, but I didn't expect it...... I Wenda still has the passion of the year......" Two fine lights shot out of his eyes, and he looked at Liang Shijie with a fighting spirit.
Liang Shijie didn't speak, just silently turned his head to look at Li Cheng, Li Cheng felt his gaze, forcefully pestle his Heavenly King Heart Guard, bowed to Liang Shijie, and roared in a low voice: "Please also ask Lord Enguan to complete!" ”
"Please also ask the Enguan to fulfill it!"
"You ......" Liang Shijie stretched out his trembling finger to point at them, and when he wanted to say something, he suddenly found that he didn't know what to say, and couldn't help waving his hand like a deflated ball, "That's it, that's it, you guys go!" ”
"Thank you, Lord Enguan, for making it perfect!" The two of them showed a hint of joy on their faces, bowed heavily to Liang Shijie, and when they got up and wanted to leave, Liang Shijie's rather low voice came from behind, "The suburban school field ten miles away from the city, there is the most elite soldiers and horses of my Daimyo Mansion, you two go there to select five thousand soldiers and horses, this is the only thing I Liang Shijie can do for the two of you, he is on the battlefield every day, don't fall the name of my Daimyo Mansion!" ”
"Don't worry, my lord, this expedition, the last general will definitely fight bravely to kill the thief and raise the prestige of my daimyo's mansion!" The two didn't look back, but the categorical voice still came into Liang Shijie's ears.
Uncle Zhang, the governor of Yanzhou, sat motionless in his study at night, for nearly two hours or so, and there was a yellow scroll on the desk next to him, which was the holy decree given by Zhao Ji, the son of heaven in the current Zhao Song Dynasty.
"Dad, I heard that there is an emperor's decree?" Zhang Zhongxiong was still as frizzy as ever, completely ignoring any etiquette, pushed open the door and broke in, "Is this the emperor's holy decree?" Let me see......" Seeing the yellow scroll on the table, Zhang Zhongxiong didn't care about the three-seven-twenty-one, and reached out to grab the scroll.
"Presumptuous! Daddy's study, how can you be so presumptuous! Zhang Bofen took a step slowly, seeing that Zhang Zhongxiong didn't know the severity of the matter, he immediately shouted loudly, stretched out his hand to pull him back, and at the same time, he also bowed to Uncle Zhang, "Father, the second brother is too young to do anything, please don't blame your father!" ”
"Blame?" Uncle Zhang's hoarse voice sounded, and he smiled bitterly twice on his face, picked up the holy decree and handed it to Zhang Bofen, "Boss, open it and take a look yourself!" ”
Zhang Bofen took the holy decree a little puzzled, and after unfolding it, the two pupils immediately shrank, and his face showed surprise, "This is ......"
