Chapter 796: Inspecting Fuyuan
Wang Gui stood on the edge of the newly established boundary monument of Fuyuan County with some apprehension, and behind him, with a group of officials from Fuyuan County, he came specially to greet the emperor who came to inspect. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Thinking of the past, it was really like the next day, the Wang family is a veteran squire of Dingyuan County, when the former Yue Emperor Wu Jian issued a conscription order, the four counties in the north only his Wang controlled Dingyuan response, he led five thousand troops to the battle, but on the battlefield, first by Mo Luo to the ground, and finally surrendered to Luo Yishui, but the situation changed, not many days, he was defeated by the Taiping army, in a short period of time, suffered two defeats, and finally he surrendered to the Taiping army.
What happened next was a bit bizarre. He was received alone by Qin Feng, who was not yet the emperor at the time, and took the undercover job that was both an opportunity and an adventure for him. With his remaining thousand soldiers, he returned to Dingyuan County and took refuge in Fuyuan County to guard Jiang Haokun. At that time, Jiang Haokun was strong and ambitious, and he was preparing to make a big move, and he enthusiastically accepted Wang Gui's refuge.
Later, there was another series of defeats, but this time, Wang Gui was not at the forefront, he watched Jiang Haokun's forces being destroyed by the Ming army, and witnessed Jiang Haokun being swallowed by Murong Hong in the end. And in this process, Wang Gui, who was really on a mission, secretly took refuge in Murong Hong long before Yuan Pu. This also allowed him to share the local military strength of the four counties of the Northland with Yuan Pu after Murong Hong unified the four counties of the Northland, laying the lead for the fatal blow of the final Zhengyang County.
Looking back now, Wang Gui still has a feeling that his hairs stand on end, the current emperor of the Ming Kingdom, the leader of the Taiping Army at that time, had just defeated Luo Yishui and had not yet entered the capital of Yuejing, he had already planned so far that he had included the matter of sweeping the four counties of the northern land into the agenda.
You must know that at that time, Jiang Haokun had not raised the flag to rebel, and the barbarians had not yet descended the mountain! The emperor of the Ming Kingdom foresaw what would happen in the following years like an unpredictable prophet, laid the groundwork early, and laid the foundation for the great military victories that followed.
For the emperor, Wang Gui is very afraid.
With the emperor's great victory on the battlefield, he first destroyed Murong Hong, and then fought against Deng Pu of Qin, which also made Wang Guiqingyun go straight up, and now he is the county guard of Fuyuan County after integration, and he is in charge of the army and the people on the horse. For a country like the Ming Dynasty, which is divided into civil and military forces, there are only two people like this special thing so far, one is him, and the other is Chen Zhihua from Kaiping County.
Chen Zhihua is going to deal with the Qin people. And he, of course, is to assist Wu Ling, who entered the mountain, to deal with Murong Hong, who escaped.
Wu Ling is a ruthless person, Wang Gui is a little reluctant to think of this person, anyway, this person wants people to follow people, money to give, and food to give food. But governing the new Fuyuan County and rejuvenating Fuyuan County is something he can't shirk. The four counties of the Northland that have just finished the battlefield are now in disarray, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the people are not happy, and he has not yet figured out the clue, and the emperor is about to run over to inspect.
The emperor patrolled the high school, the entourage was huge, the military department wanted to check the soldiers, cut the inferior and keep the good, the household department wanted to check the people's registration, register the households, keep a record of the Dingkou, the officials wanted to inspect the officials, promote the reform of the officials, the Ministry of Rites came to check the situation of running schools, the criminal department wanted to come to try the prison treatment, and the criminals were arraigned. So many things, all of a sudden, so that Wang Gui's head is big, the old things have not been sorted out, these new things are all rushed together, after receiving the notice from the imperial court, he has not slept for several days, gathering officials, assigning tasks, and being busy in a hurry. That is, when he set off to meet the emperor this morning, he squinted on the carriage for a while, but where did he really fall asleep when he was so worried? After staring at it for a while, his eyes widened again, and he thought about what else he hadn't prepared for, and when he remembered one, he immediately sent the order to someone to handle it.
The emperor's first inspection must satisfy the emperor. At least, let the emperor see that he is loyal and tirelessly working hard, even if things are not done very beautifully, but without credit, there is hard work after all.
At noon, the sun was getting hotter and hotter, and everyone was sweating, but seeing Wang Gui standing at the front, he was straight and motionless, no matter how uncomfortable he was, he could only endure it. The current Wang Gui is the first person in Fuyuan County.
A large banner appeared from the horizon, followed by a group of heavily armed armor soldiers riding war horses in the eyes of everyone, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief, finally came. Otherwise, it would be a great sin to bask in the sun, and if nothing else, everyone's clothes would have basically been soaked in sweat at this time.
The team in the distance is getting closer and closer, looking at the fiery red fire sword skeleton flag, the officials in Fuyuan are all awe-inspiring, this is the emperor's personal guard! The cavalry, divided into two rows, sandwiched more than a dozen carriages in the middle, and walked slowly, except for the neighing of horses, but there was no sound left. And what made these people even more frightened was that these cavalrymen were actually wearing heavy armor one by one, and they were wearing light clothes but they couldn't stand the heat, what it was like for these soldiers to be fully armored under the poisonous sun, I am afraid that only they themselves can understand.
The cavalry approached, slowly stopped, rode over, came to everyone, turned over and dismounted, and strode towards Wang Gui, but this person Wang Gui recognized. Horse Monkey, the commander of His Majesty's Imperial Bodyguard.
"Wang Junshou, Your Majesty invites you over." The horse monkey looked at him and smiled.
"Thank you, Commander Ma!" Wang Gui didn't dare to slack off, and bowed slightly to the horse monkey, but the horse monkey grinned, and sideways avoided Wang Gui's salute.
Under the leadership of the horse monkey, Wang Gui also walked towards the widest carriage in the middle with four tall horses.
"Please come in!" The horse monkey stretched out his hand.
Wang Gui stepped on the small wooden pestle, walked to the carriage, bent down to hold the knocker, hesitated slightly, pushed open the door, stepped in with his head down, and knelt down directly: "Wang Gui of Fuyuan County has seen Your Majesty." ”
There was a cool air in the carriage, and there were thick ice cubes placed on the four corners, compared to the outside, it was really different, but at this time, Wang Gui's heart was pounding, and he didn't feel the different temperature difference between inside and outside at all, and still felt that his body was hot.
"Wang Junshou, get up quickly, Your Majesty is not here!" A voice came, Wang Guihuo raised his head, and looked at the person sitting in the emperor's car, his face was full of incredulity. "Grandpa Le!"
Grandpa Le smiled bitterly, "Your Majesty brought me here to sit here and pretend to be a ghost, and he himself has already left." Lord Wang, don't kneel, just sit and talk. ”
"Your Majesty, where has Your Majesty gone? How could it be, how could it not be here? Wang Gui's voice trembled a little.
Father-in-law Le spread his hands: "Your Majesty said that he wants to go for a walk by himself and take a look, if he puts on such a big show, I'm afraid that he won't see anything, and he also guesses that Wang Junshou must have arranged an itinerary for him and arranged all the points of inspection." Then what he saw was everything Wang Junshou wanted Your Majesty to see, so Your Majesty said that you should go for a walk by yourself. ”
Wang Gui's sweat came down and looked at Grandpa Le: "Grandpa Le, this, this, this, ......"
"Your Majesty is this character, you will know after a long time, Wang Junshou, I am afraid that your hard work for several days will be useless!" Grandpa Le smiled a little gloatingly.
"Father-in-law Le, now Fuyuan County is like this, even if I arrange it, I can't arrange any tricks, at most, I will cover up some excessive things, these things, even if Your Majesty sees it, I won't blame me if I think about it, but now the four counties in the north are in chaos, to put it mildly, bandits are rampant, the people are not happy, and no one dares to go out at night. Your Majesty's private visit, if something happens, I am afraid that it will not help to destroy my Wang Gui and the nine clans! Wang Gui wiped the sweat from his head.
"You don't have to worry about that." Gonggong Le shook his head: "Your Majesty has been promoted to the Grandmaster, and there is another Grandmaster with Your Majesty, Lord Huo Guanghuo of the Military Department, do you think that in your Fuyuan territory, who else can threaten the two Grandmasters?" ”
Wang Gui shuddered: "So, isn't it a rumor that His Majesty was promoted to the Grandmaster after killing Deng Pu on the battlefield?" ”
"How could it be a rumor, I saw it with my own eyes, and I was there at the time." Grandpa Le raised his head and squinted his eyes, "It's enough to see the two grandmasters advance in front of me in this life, Lord Wang, haven't you seen that scene, tsk!" ”
"This is the luck of Daming!" Wang Gui nodded again and again: "It's a pity that I don't have this blessing and can't see it with my own eyes." ”
"But Your Majesty doesn't think it's anything, Your Majesty said, the power of the grandmaster, but the courage of the unrivaled, if you really want to make the Ming Dynasty dominate the world, you still have to rely on some ministers like Lord Wang."
"Your Majesty really said that?" Wang Gui said in a trembling voice.
"Of course, Your Majesty has already said so, of course, Your Majesty has also said the names of many people, especially especially it, it depends on the tens of millions of people in the Ming Dynasty. His Majesty said that he was willing to be this guide, but it took tens of thousands of people to work together to make it happen. "Le Gong is fair.
"Wang Gui is willing to serve the work of dogs and horses." Wang Gui sat up straight and said solemnly. "But Grandpa Le, do you know where His Majesty's first stop is?"
"I really don't know. His Majesty only said that when he saw you, he would let you and these chariots go directly to Fuyuan County, and let the officials of the various ministries and offices do what they should help, and after His Majesty finished reading, he would naturally come back. "Fair and fair." Wang Junshou, after you get off the car, don't show any traces, although Your Majesty is not afraid of any threats, but there is some trouble, can be less or less, as you said, this Fuyuan County is now very chaotic, maybe there will be some small people who will make small calculations, although it is impossible to pose a threat to Your Majesty, but it will also make Your Majesty unhappy on this trip, don't you say? ”
"Yes, yes, yes!" Wang Gui nodded again and again.
