Chapter 703: Huang Mengjia refuses to be an official
Cao Huachun heard Chongzhen mention this, and then remembered that his crotch and had not been wiped clean, and he couldn't care about Huang Mengjia's affairs, so he hurriedly brushed himself off: "Long live Lord Shengming, the slave maid just saw Chang Kun's well-behaved guy at the beginning, so he recommended him, and he didn't have too much to do with it, but I didn't expect him to behave in Nanjing, and betrayed the trust of the Long Live Lord, the slave and maid will send someone to arrest him back to the capital and beat him to death with a stick!" ”
Chongzhen saw that he didn't elaborate on Cao Huachun and knew the details, knowing that it must be Wang Chengen who reported the news, glared at Wang Chengen, and said to Cao Huachun: "There is no need for Dongchang to arrest people and return to Beijing, I will send Jinyi Wei to go." Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 Although he didn't intend to punish this companion for Chang Kun's affairs, the necessary beating was still required, and it was one of the means of beating to arrest people instead of using Dongchang and using Jinyiwei instead.
Cao Huachun was terrified and did not dare to speak again.
Chongzhen sent Cao Huachun away with a few words and asked Wang Chengen: "Where is Huang Mengjia now?" ”
"Back to Long Live Lord, I was restrained by the guards, and I waited outside the Imperial Garden."
"Bring it in, and I'll take care of it myself."
Huang Mengjia was held by the knife to his neck, and he came to the outside of the pavilion surrounded by a large group of guards, his face full of disbelief.
Chongzhen waved his hand: "Let him go." ”
The guards looked at each other, how dangerous this reckless man is, they have personally learned it, if they let him go and hurt the emperor, who can afford this responsibility?
Cao Huachun hurriedly dissuaded: "Long live Lord, I can't help it, this guy is extremely dangerous, be careful that he is mad......"
Chongzhen frowned and said, "If he wants to hurt me, I did it when I summoned him just now, and I will wait until now." ”
The guards slowly let go of the knife, Huang Mengjia rubbed his bloodied neck, and said loudly: "You are a good emperor, but the people around you are not very good, especially this old eunuch!" As he spoke, he pointed to Cao Huachun. Cao Huachun was furious when he heard this, but he didn't dare to be presumptuous in front of Chongzhen, and almost choked back his internal injuries.
When Chongzhen heard his evaluation, he was not angry, but felt very real, and said with a smile: "Since you think I am good, would you like to stay in the capital?" ”
Huang Mengjia thought for a while, shook his head and said: "If there was such an opportunity four years ago, I could serve the Han Emperor, which is something I never dreamed of, and I will definitely agree." But we Li people are loyal and righteous, and I have already decided that the general is the master, and I will not betray him unless he drives me away. But then again, if the general hadn't brought me to me, I wouldn't have had the opportunity to enter the palace, and everything I have today was given to me by the general. ”
Chongzhen was a little disappointed, but it can also be seen that Huang Mengjia is a loyal and trustworthy person.
Cao Huachun said in a strange way: "What your general can give you, Long Live Lord can give you ten or a hundred times, but he doesn't know how to lift, and he is really a vulgar and ignorant village reckless man." ”
Huang Mengjia glanced at him disdainfully, and asked Chongzhen directly: "Emperor, if I stay, what will you arrange for me to do?" ”
Chongzhen was overjoyed in his heart, thinking that he was shaken, and blurted out: "I will let you be the commander of the guards, in charge of the generals of the Han Dynasty and the scattered horsemen, the avant-garde of the government army with swords, and the commander of the Jinyi guard!" ”
The composition of the Ming Emperor's guards was relatively complex, including the Jinyi Wei Han General, the Fu Army Guard, the Red Helmet General of the 3,000 Battalions, the Fork and Knife Executioner of the Five Military Battalions, and the Xunwei Scattered Cavalry Guards, adding up to more than 8,000 people. These people were commanded by six guards, the most important of which were the guards in charge of 1,500 Han generals, 40 guards with swords, and a number of guards and horsemen, and the emperor's safety depended on him.
Wang Chengen and Cao Huachun listened to Chongzhen's promise, and their eyes widened in disbelief. This means that as long as Huang Mengjia nods, he can jump from an insignificant battalion to the first person in the world to be the first person in the world, and the unprecedented commander of the Jinyi Guard, he can instantly rank among the ranks of the powerful in the capital, even Cao Huachun, who is the prince of Dongchang, does not dare to provoke easily, after all, this position is closer to the emperor than himself.
This promotion speed can be described as skyrocketing, which is staggering. However, after seeing the bravery of Huang Mengjia's battle against the guards just now, even Cao Huachun had to admit that he deserved this position.
The guards surrounding Huang Mengjia heard the emperor's words, glanced at each other, and quietly put away their knives, so as not to irritate Huang Mengjia. Just kidding, if you can't figure out that this big guy is your top boss, and you still hold a knife at him, do you want to have a good life in the future?
Just when everyone thought that Huang Mengjia would agree, Huang Mengjia shook his head again: "Even if it weren't for our general, I wouldn't be this guard officer." I grew up in the mountains, and since I was a child, I would rather be a wolf in the mountains and forests than a bird in a cage - there are too many rules in the palace, and they are not free, and they are not suitable for me. ”
Cao Huachun almost blurted out, "You're a big fool!" "Luckily, I held back in time. Refuse the emperor's personal title, and it is a very powerful official position, what kind of stupid person would have to refuse? However, he soon came to his senses, for himself, it was better for this reckless man to refuse, not only lost the glory and wealth at his fingertips, but also offended the emperor, otherwise this guy would be disgusting after becoming the commander of the guard and the commander of the brocade guard.
Wang Chengen couldn't help but say: "Mr. Huang Qian, there are no eyes on the battlefield, where is it better to serve by the side of the Long Live Lord, and you can also seal your wife and son." ”
Huang Mengjia grinned: "This father-in-law, we Li people are used to being wild, and we can't live a well-behaved life, I prefer to kill all sides on the battlefield and be invincible." ”
In fact, he is not stupid, but thick and fine. It is said that "the king of Hades is easy to see, but the little ghost is difficult", the emperor is good or not, but he offended the big eunuch beside him just now, and his life will not be easy, instead of trembling and staying by the emperor's side to be a guard who runs errands before and after the saddle, it is better to return to the Qiong Navy and continue to be his own special operations captain - the Qiong Navy has a good salary and a high status as a soldier, and if he stays in the capital, he may not be as good as Lin Gao.
Chongzhen sighed, and didn't care about Huang Mengjia's ignorance. Although as long as he speaks, Huang Mengjia has to stay, and if he doesn't stay, he has to stay, but this is meaningless-what's the use of a guard commander whose heart is not here to force him to stay?
He thought about it for a while, and decided to show the bearing of the king of a country: "Since you don't want to stay, I won't be reluctant. In the future, if you kill a few more thieves on the battlefield, you will also serve me. You have captured Gao Yingxiang for meritorious service, and I have rewarded you with a hundred taels of gold, and you are still serving in the Qiong Navy. ”
