783 feudal marquis, disobedience

[Today's second chapter is presented, I almost didn't catch up, please subscribe! ] 】

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor edict said, Li Zixiao, the loyal and brave uncle, led the army to repel the Qing army, and he was loyal and brave, and he admired this!"

On the morning of the 7th, when Hong Chengchou was still in the Cold Wind Castle and did not leave, suddenly Wang Chengen, Chongzhen's closest eunuch, rushed to the Cold Wind Castle in person and read out a holy decree from Chongzhen.

"Thank you, Lord Long."

Li Zixiao didn't expect that Chongzhen would be so generous this time, and the Qing army had only been retreating for two days, and he was directly given the title of marquis.

was promoted to a first-class knighthood in vain, and Li Zixiao was of course willing to accept it.

When Luo Chao, Li Tianba and other generals of the White Dragon Army, as well as Hong Chengchou and other generals of the Ming Army, all knelt on the ground to receive the holy decree, Li Zixiao did not kneel to receive it.

"Princess, when Ben Jue fought against the Qing army with his knee again, he was hit by an arrow and could not kneel to answer the order.

Otherwise, Benjue will probably be disabled for life. ”

Li Zixiao said in embarrassment.

When they heard Li Zixiao say this, Luo Chao and the others had a sneer on their faces, and Hong Chengchou and other Ming army generals on the side showed incredible looks on their faces.

Hong Chengchou and the others knew very well that Li Zixiao's knee would never be injured.

Yesterday, Li Zixiao took them to wander around the entire Cold Wind Castle for a long time, obviously because he didn't want to kneel down to accept the order, and found a reason.

"Okay, you Li Zixiao, you dare to bully the king, prince and princess, don't listen to him, his knee is not injured at all.

Yesterday, Xia Guan also saw Li Zixiao in person, and took us all over the Cold Wind Castle, his legs were very neat, and he deliberately did not kneel down to receive the order. ”

A Ming army general stood up excitedly, scolded Li Zixiao, and then looked at Wang Chengen and made a small report.

The reason why this general of the Ming army stood up to expose Li Zixiao was nothing more than seeing that this was an opportunity to make meritorious contributions.

In fact, at this time, more than one general of the Ming army wanted to expose Li Zixiao, but everyone else was watching and thinking more.

Besides, those generals of the Ming army who had some brains, seeing that they didn't even stand up at this time and expose Li Zixiao, they wanted to be this up-and-coming bird, which was not good.

As the saying goes, the rafters that come out of the first rot first.

Therefore, most of the generals of the Ming army chose to wait and see for the time being.

Only this general of the Ming army, who is a bit of a tiger, can't wait to stand up and expose Li Zixiao.

"Idiot!"

As a result, looking at this general of the Ming army who stood up with an excited face and exposed Li Zixiao's lie to Wang Chengen, Hong Chengchou whispered.

"Oh? Do you dare to question Benjue's words?

Do you think the prince believes in you, or does he believe in Benjue? ”

As a result, Li Zixiao did not panic at all in the face of the revelation of this Ming army general, looked at him indifferently, and said unkindly.

Perhaps he was deterred by Li Zixiao's cold eyes and powerful aura, and the general of the Ming Army who rose up to expose it trembled in his heart.

But then, he plucked up his courage again, ran to Wang Chengen, and said flatteringly: "Princess, what the lower officials said is all true.

If you don't believe it, you can ask Lord Hong about it, Li Zixiao's knee was definitely not injured, he just deliberately didn't kneel down to accept the order.

This is simply a great rebellion, and it is disrespectful to the Holy. ”

The general of the Ming army said to Wang Chengen, pointing his finger at Hong Chengchou and others, wanting Hong Chengchou and others to testify against him, which caused Hong Chengchou and others to curse in their hearts.

The general of the Ming army finished speaking, but Wang Chengen did not speak for a long time, and now he was in a hurry for this Ming army general, and thought that Wang Chengen did not believe him.

But in fact, at this time, Wang Chengen was in his heart, and he had cursed this Ming army general ten million times.

It is not the first time that Li Zixiao did not kneel down to receive Chongzhen's holy decree, even Chongzhen knew this, but he did not pursue Li Zixiao.

Originally, this time Wang Chengen knew that Li Zixiao would take over Chongzhen's holy decree, but most of the time he would find an excuse not to kneel.

And Wang Chengen's side has already received Chongzhen's tacit approval and can tolerate Li Zixiao doing this.

At that time, as long as both sides find a good ladder for each other, as long as Li Zixiao does not directly refuse to kneel, Wang Chengen will turn a blind eye.

Who let Chongzhen, the emperor at this time, have already lost control of Li Zixiao, a courtier.

But as a result, what Wang Chengen didn't expect was that such a stunned young man appeared on the side of the generals of the Ming army and directly exposed Li Zixiao.

It's good now, let Wang Chengen stand there, it's a dilemma.

At this time, the relationship between Li Zixiao and Chongzhen is actually very delicate.

On Li Zixiao's face, he still respects Chongzhen as a king, but in fact, he has long been unable to do the things of a courtier.

But at least, Li Zixiao has not rebelled at this time, and the delicate relationship between the two sides can continue to be maintained, which is also what Chongzhen wants to see at this time.

If Li Zixiao is really reversed, it is estimated that the day of Li Zixiao's rebellion will not be far from the demise of the Ming Dynasty.

But now, this stunned young general directly pierced this layer of window paper, which is troublesome.

"Father-in-law, Li Zixiao is really not injured, if you don't believe it, the lower official will show you the certificate, just let Li Zixiao lift the skirt and robe, and you will know at a glance."

Seeing that Wang Chengen didn't speak for a long time, the general of the Ming army was also anxious, and rushed over directly, about to lift Li Zixiao's skirt robe and let Wang Chengen take a look.

Peng!

As a result, before the general of the Ming army touched Li Zixiao's clothes, he was directly kicked out by the quartz that burst out next to him.

"Bold, sir's skirt, can you lift it too? Someone, take it for me. ”

Luo Chao yelled even more, stood up directly, and shouted angrily, behind him, Li Tianba, Zhao Zilong and other generals of the White Dragon Army, all of them all cheered and stood up.

These generals of the White Dragon Army would like Li Zixiao to rebel at this time, if it weren't for Li Zixiao's request, they wouldn't want to kneel down to accept the order.

After Luo Chao's loud shout, a team of white dragon soldiers with guns and sharp guns rushed in directly outside the hall and arrested the Ming army general.

When Wang Chengen saw this scene, he chuckled in his heart, and thought that Li Zixiao really wanted to rebel with this.

Wang Chengen felt that he opened his mouth and said: "The miscellaneous family believes in Lord Li, in order to repel the Tartars, Lord Li has gone through several battles with the Tartars, and it is inevitable that he will be injured.

When the miscellaneous family came, the saint had already spoken, and if Lord Li was injured, he didn't have to kneel to answer it.

Moreover, the saint said that Lord Li can be exempted from kneeling in the future, and he does not need to kneel when he sees any duke, prince, or even the saint. ”

"Thank you for your compassion for the ministers, and the ministers are afraid."

After hearing Wang Chengen's words, Li Zixiao was also surprised in his heart, he didn't expect Chongzhen to give such an order.

Li Zixiao didn't believe that Wang Chengen dared to fake Chongzhen's message, I'm afraid this is really what Chongzhen meant.

"It's a good Chongzhen, but he can afford to put it down, it's a bit bold." Li Zixiao admired in his heart.

"As for you."

Immediately, Wang Chengen turned his head to look at the general of the Ming army next to him, who was escorted by the white dragon soldiers, and said in a cold voice: "Deliberately slandering Lord Li and slandering the heroes of the imperial court is a great crime.

You take him down, take him with you when the miscellaneous family leaves, and return to the capital to be dealt with by the Holy One. ”

Hearing Wang Chengen say this to the White Dragon Sergeant, Qin Zhen, who led the troops in, couldn't help but look at Li Zixiao.

Seeing Li Zixiao nodding slightly, he bowed his hand to Wang Chengen and responded: "Yes, listen to the prince." ”

"Take him down."

Immediately, Qin Zhen waved his hand and let the soldiers around him escort this unlucky guy and drag him out of the hall.

"Wang Gonggong, Xia Guan really didn't lie, Li Zixiao he really wasn't injured, Wang Gonggong, woo woo woo ......"

When the Ming army general was dragged out by the white dragon soldiers, he screamed in horror, but soon he couldn't hear the sound.

"Lord Li, please accept the order!"

Wang Chengen once again held the saint out with both hands and said to Li Zixiao.

Li Zixiao walked slowly to Wang Chengen, and the result was a holy decree.

"Congratulations to Lord Li, no, no, it's time to call Hou Ye Li in the future." Wang Chengen said to Li Zixiao with a smile.

"There is a prince of Lao."

Li Zixiao said politely, and asked Quartz to take out a stack of silver tickets, ready to hand them to Wang Chengen, but Wang Chengen confiscated them.

Later, Hong Chengchou and other generals of the Ming army were all glad in their hearts at this time, glad that they were not hot-headed, and stood up to expose Li Zixiao.

Otherwise, the unlucky guy who was dragged out by the White Dragon Sergeant at this time should be them.

"Congratulations to Hou Ye Li."

Hong Chengchou was the first to react, stood up calmly, and congratulated Li Zixiao.

"Congratulations to Hou Ye Li."

Subsequently, the other generals of the Ming army also reacted immediately, and stood up one after another to salute and congratulate Li Zixiao.

"Hehe, generals, you're welcome, tonight Benjue, no, Benhou set up a banquet in Cold Wind Castle to entertain all the generals.

Princess, don't be angry and go back to the saint to repay your life, and also stay to let Benhou do the friendship of the landlord, how about it? ”

Li Zixiao was in a very good mood at this time, although whether it was an earl or a marquis, it didn't mean much to him at this time.

But since Chongzhen has promoted him to the title, he still has to celebrate, and it just makes the soldiers of the White Dragon Army lively with him.

"Okay."

Wang Chengen agreed.

"Marquis Li, in addition to the holy decree of the Holy Lord, this time the Imperial Military Department also issued an order to the Holy Lord.

Chen Xinjia, the secretary of the military department, asked the miscellaneous family to bring it together, and asked the Hou Ye to take a look. ”

At this time, Wang Chengen suddenly took out a piece of music from his arms, handed it to Li Zixiao, and spoke.

"An order from the military department?"

Looking at the piece of music that Wang Chengen handed over this time, Li Zixiao frowned, and his intuition told him that the content of this piece was mostly the money, grain and materials he took back from the Qing army.

Li Zixiao hesitated, but still reached out to take the concerto, opened it and looked at it.

Li Zixiao opened the chapter and looked at it, and sure enough, the content of the chapter was very simple, that is, he asked Li Zixiao to hand over the batch of money, grain and materials seized from the Qing army to the imperial court.

Li Zixiao knew that this order from the Ministry of War was actually what Chongzhen meant.

It's just that what Li Zixiao didn't expect this time was that Chongzhen first used the holy decree to make him a marquis and give him a sweet date to eat.

Then, let the military department give him an order to hand over the money, grain and materials to the imperial court.

The reason why Chongzhen separated the two orders was because he was worried that Li Zixiao would refuse.

If Chongzhen puts the two orders on the holy decree, Li Zixiao will not accept this order at that time, but it will become a protest decree.

Refusing to accept the order of the Imperial Military Department, as the Marquis of Li Zixiao, he can still negotiate, so as not to tear his face immediately.

But if Li Zixiao refuses to accept Emperor Chongzhen's holy decree in public, it will be a big loss to Emperor Chongzhen's majesty.

In the final analysis, Chongzhen at this time has also learned to compromise, compromise with courtiers, and compromise with Li Zixiao.

It can also be said that it is painstaking, Chongzhen, the emperor, is quite aggrieved at this time.

This is the sorrow of a weak dynasty, a weak lord and a strong minister, and the last emperor.

"I knew that Chongzhen wouldn't be so kind, this time he was so neat, so he gave Ben Jue the title of marquis.

It turned out that he was fighting the idea of this batch of money, food and materials! ”

Li Zixiao sneered in his heart.

"Father-in-law, Chen Xinjia's order, Benhou will not accept it!"

As he spoke, Li Zixiao threw the piece to the ground and said coldly.

Seeing Li Zixiao throw the piece to the ground, Wang Chengen's originally slightly smiling face instantly collapsed.

"Marquis Li, this is an order from the Ministry of War, even if you are a Marquis, you must obey the orders of the Imperial Court War, how can you disobey orders at will."

Wang Chengen's tone intensified and said.

"Well, I see that Chen Xinjia, the secretary of the Ministry of War, has a water in his brain, and he actually gave such an order to Ben Hou.

If Ben Hou takes it, he will be sorry for the tens of thousands of soldiers who followed Ben Hou and the Tartars in a bloody battle this time.

I'm sorry for Ben Hou's subordinates, the heroic souls of tens of thousands of soldiers who died on the battlefield, Ben Hou will never accept this order. ”

Li Zixiao waved his hand, said in a resolute tone, and then strode back and sat on the first seat.

At this time, Luo Chao and the others also picked up the piece from the ground of the hall and watched it.

"What a military department secretary, he actually gave such a shameless order."

After Luo Chao finished reading the recital, he scolded angrily.

"You ......"

Wang Chengen was not lightly angry at this time, Luo Chao was scolding Chen Xinjia, the secretary of the Ministry of War, on the surface, but he was actually scolding Chongzhen.

Because, although this time it was an order issued by the Ministry of War, it was actually what Chongzhen meant.

"Princess, do you know how many men and horses Benhou sacrificed and how much food he spent in order to defeat the Qing army?

Ben Hou has never asked the court for a tael of silver, Chen Xinjia really thinks that Ben Hou will conjure up silver.

The money and grain that Ben Jue recaptured from the Qing army was to give pensions to the families of those fallen soldiers.

If anyone dares to fight the idea of this batch of money and grain, Ben Hou will turn against whom.

Chen Xinjia had better pray and never let Ben Hou see him, otherwise Ben Hou would definitely let him know why the flowers were so red. ”

Li Zixiao's face was indifferent at this time, he sat on the first seat of the hall, and said in a cold tone.

Hong Chengchou on the side, he didn't need to look at the piece at this time, he also knew what was written on it.

I saw it again, just now Li Zixiao blatantly did not kneel down to accept the holy decree, and at this time, it was not surprising to see him directly refuse to accept this order from the military department.

"Hey, it seems that this official has thought about this matter simply.

Unexpectedly, this Marquis Li has become arrogant to such an extent, and he no longer takes the court and the saint in his eyes.

Yes, whoever has such a powerful army in his hands will not be willing to be subservient. ”

Hong Chengchou thought in his heart at this time.
