"Two Aiqing, hurry up!"

Yongli Emperor Zhu Youlang, who had been waiting for a long time, had no emperor stand, and raised his hand with a smile to ask Guo Shao and Liang Shuanghu to get up. After the two of them got up, Zhu Youlang saw that the two of them didn't dare to look at him, knowing that the two of them were restrained, he didn't care, and said with a smile: "I am very happy to hear that Guangdong Lubu has won a lot of victories, and you two can bring specific documents and show them to me, so that I can know how the soldiers fought bravely to kill the enemy and won this great victory!" ”

"Yes, yes, the minister will take it for the emperor!"

Guo Shao hurriedly took out the report document written by Zhou Shixiang from his arms, Qi Fu stepped forward and handed it to Wang Kun, who in turn handed it to Zhu Youlang.

Liang Shuanghu firmly remembered Qi Fu's explanation, lowered his head and didn't dare to move.

Zhu Youlang couldn't help nodding while watching, and praised: "What a genius, he set up an ambush in the same place twice, annihilated thousands of Qing troops, and the magnitude of the capture was really an eye-opener for me." Closing the newspaper, and just as he was about to speak, he saw Mu Tianbo, the Duke of Qianguo, and Ding Jishan, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, entering the house under the leadership of the internal supervisor.

Mu Tianbo is a few years older than Emperor Yongli, but he looks quite rich, perhaps because he has been pampered for a long time, and his appearance is younger than Emperor Yongli. Ding Jishan is an old man in his sixties and sixties, his hair is not completely white, but his beard is white, but he is still very energetic when he walks.

After the two of them saluted, Zhu Youlang asked them with a smile: "Two Aiqing, you all know about Guangdong's success, right?" ”

Mu Tianbo nodded and said: "The minister already knows, and he also sent someone to inspect it, it is indeed a great victory, and the 214 heads are all real Manchurian Tartars." The military department has already checked it clearly, and the minister and Lord Ding are here to make a contribution to the emperor. ”

Ding Jishan followed and said: "Your Majesty, it has been confirmed that the great victory reported by Zhou, the general soldier of Guangzhou, is true. According to the system, the imperial court should hold a ceremony to present the victory. According to the ancestral system, when 36 generals of the Han Dynasty were in line, with the Ministry of Rites as the main master of ceremonies, citing the "Daming Huidian" and the Ministry of Rites, the emperor not only had to go to the temple to worship, but also to the noon gate to show the world. When he said this, he looked embarrassed. The conversation changed and said: "However, the court is in difficulty now, and it will definitely not be able to operate according to the ancestral system, so the emperor has to get a seal on how to handle it." The ministers can also start to handle it. ”

Ding Jishan's words made Zhu Youlang frown when he heard it, this Guangdong dedication ceremony must not be held according to the ancestral system, first of all, there is no temple in Kunming, let alone a noon gate. Even the royal palace has not yet been built. How to have such a venue to organize the dedication ceremony. Moreover, when the King of Jin and the King of Jin were two famous kings and Lu Bu were victorious, the imperial court did not have such a grand ceremony to present the victory, and now although the Guangdong side has won a lot, it only annihilated thousands of Qing troops, and did not recover the lost territory, and the impact is not as good as the momentum of the King of Jin back then. If the king of Jin is born, the court does not pay attention to him. Isn't that a good thing turned bad?

The dedication ceremony must be held, but it cannot be held in a big way. Mu Tianbo also has the intention to take advantage of this Guangdong victory to boost the morale of the upper and lower levels, but Ding Jishan said that he did not agree, he thought the same as Emperor Yongli, firstly, the imperial court does not have so much silver to operate, and secondly, the king of Jin is using troops, and this ceremony is too prosperous will inevitably provoke the king of Jin and his generals.

"The minister thought that it was rare for Guangdong to win a big victory, and the ceremony of dedication was to be held, so that it could boost the morale of the upper and lower levels, but now the king of Jin is leading the army outside, and the court is spending a lot, so the ceremony can be simple." Mu Tianbo said his opinion.

"Hmm"

Zhu Youlang groaned slightly, feeling that Mu Tianbo was right, the dedication ceremony can boost the morale of the army and the people in Kunming City, and sweep away the depression and panic caused by Sun Kewang's invasion of Yunnan, so it must be done, but it can't be done in a big way, and it is best to do it simply. At the moment, he said happily: "According to Mu Qing's wishes, this matter will be handed over to the Ministry of Rites, and then the two Aiqing will have to worry a lot." ”

"This is the duty of the minister, why did the emperor say this." Mu Tianbo Road.

Ding Jishan opened his mouth and didn't say anything against it, he just said that, but he didn't know the current predicament of the imperial court. It's just that he, as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, must treat this matter with the ancestral system, if he directly says that he wants to do it simply, then people who don't know will definitely think that he, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, is deliberately slighting the Guangdong side and not following the system.

After setting the matter of the ceremony, Zhu Youlang turned his gaze back to the two envoys from Guangdong, he walked up to Guo Shao, looked at him carefully, and asked him with a smile: "I don't know what Guo Qing is doing in the Taiping Army now?" ”

Guo Shao replied cautiously: "Back to the emperor, the minister is the salt patrol envoy of Xiangshan." ”

"Salt Patrol?"

Zhu Youlang was stunned, what kind of official is this, he thought that Guo Shao was sent by Zhou Shixiang to report the victory, so he must have a great identity, and he didn't want to be an official who had never heard of him.

Wang Kun also doesn't know what kind of official this salt inspector is, Daming is in charge of salt has a salt patrol imperial history, although he is a six-grade official, but he is in charge of the Lianghuai and Changlu salt fields, and he has great power, and he is also the fattest position in the thirteen imperial histories of the Metropolitan Inspectorate, but this salt inspector has never heard of it.

Mu Tianbo thought for a while and asked Guo Shaodao: "You, the salt patrol envoy, are Shang Kexi's private officials in Guangdong?" ”

Guo Shao's face flushed, he didn't dare to hide his identity, and said honestly: "Don't hide it from the emperor, the minister was indeed an official of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and this salt patrol envoy is also a private official set up by the pseudo-feudal Shang Kexi for salt profit, but since the minister returned to the Ming Dynasty, he has regarded himself as a Ming minister, and he will never dare to have a second heart, this heart can be learned!" ”

"Oh!"

Zhu Youlang didn't care, waved his hand and said with a smile: "Hey, it doesn't matter where Guo Qing was an official in the past, the important thing is that now you are my Ming official, abandon the dark and turn to the Ming like a prodigal son, and don't change it." ”

Mu Tianbo also laughed, since Jiashen, there have been countless officials of the Ming Dynasty who have voted to be officials of the Qing Dynasty, and there are countless officials of the Qing Dynasty who have voted to be officials of the Ming Dynasty, far away from Li Chengdong, Jin Shengheng and others, and close to Li Dingguo, King of Jin, Liu Wenxiu, King of Shu and other former thieves. Therefore, the Ming Dynasty descended to the Qing Dynasty, and the Qing Dynasty returned to the Ming Dynasty is a trivial matter, which is not worth mentioning.

Although Ding Jishan is an old-fashioned old man, he also knows that there are too many such things in these years, so it is not strange.

Wang Kun interjected: "Since this salt patrol envoy is an official position set up by the puppet domain, it cannot be mentioned again in the future." ”

"Indeed, the official system in Guangdong must also be sorted out." Mu Tianbo agreed with Wang Kun's meaning. How can the official position of the Ming Dynasty use the set of the puppet domain.

Zhu Youlang said with a smile: "This time in Guangdong, I want to be rewarded, and Zhou Shixiang has the merit of seizing Xinhui before." I have decreed that he will be given the post of chief soldier of Guangzhou, and now he has made great contributions, I still want to promote him to an official, and everyone below the rank of Zhou Shixiang will also be rewarded, so as to inspire the soldiers to fight bravely to kill the enemy and serve the imperial court. ”

Guo Shao was overjoyed, and he joined the Taiping Army. Zhou Shixiang did not promote him to be an official, but still guarded the salt patrol, and now the Yongli Emperor Chrysostom is open. Maybe he can get a prefect to do it, after all, he is the official envoy who has come to report the victory.

Seeing that Liang Shuanghu was still standing there with his head down, Zhu Youlang realized that he was treating him slowly, so he asked him with the same smile: "Where did Liang Qing serve in the past?" ”

Liang Shuanghu was still immersed in the excitement of meeting the Son of Heaven. I didn't hear Emperor Yongli's question. Guo Shao hurriedly pulled him down, and then he came back to his senses and looked at Emperor Yongli with a blank face: "Ah? What the? ”

Zhu Youlang and Mu Tianbo couldn't help laughing when he was like this, Ding Jishan curled his beard, and shook his head very dissatisfied, his heart said that a martial artist is a martial artist, how could Jun Qian be so distracted!

Guo Shao whispered the emperor's question to Liang Shuanghu, and Liang Shuanghu listened. Subconsciously said: "Back to the emperor, I used to be a soldier in the green camp." ”

Green Battalion Soldiers?

Zhu Youlang and Mu Tianbo were both stunned: the envoy was a private official set up by a pseudo-feudal domain. The deputy envoy is a green battalion soldier of the Qing army, can't Zhou Shixiang's subordinates send some decent talents over?

"Well, once upon a time, now is now, abandon the darkness and turn to the light, good, very good."

Zhu Youlang didn't mind Guo Shao's former identity as a puppet official just now, and now it is naturally difficult to talk about Liang Shuanghu's identity as a green camp, so he smiled a little awkwardly.

I didn't want Liang Shuanghu to listen to Emperor Yongli's words, but he said in a loud voice: "Many of the brothers under the general of my family were in the Qing army in the past, and some brothers are still bandits who rob their homes, but since they followed the general of our family, the brothers are all soldiers of our Ming Dynasty, and they all know that they must work for the emperor in the future and fight for a wife and son." ”

Hearing this, Mu Tianbo frowned, and said with some doubts: "You Taiping Army are all such people? ”

Mu Tianbo didn't care about Liang Shuanghu calling Zhou Shixiang a general, because there were many people who called generals in recent years, and Zhou Shixiang was already the general soldier in Guangzhou, although he did not have a general's seal, but since he called himself a general, the court could not issue an order to reprimand him. Guangdong is far away from Kunming, and the imperial court can't manage it if it wants to!

Liang Shuanghu shook his head, still grinning and said: "Our brothers of the Taiping Army are all this people, the brothers drink wine in a big bowl, eat meat in a big piece, and tie their heads to the waistband of their trousers together to kill the tartars, and they are happy!"

Hearing this, Guo Shao pouted to himself, Liang Shuanghu, Qiu Ba, can really say anything, and he doesn't look at what kind of place this is. Damn, it's really unreasonable to treat soldiers and bandits as a show of capital in front of the emperor.

Mu Tianbo was stunned there, he didn't know what to say, he made trouble for a long time, this Taiping army turned out to be a group of soldiers and bandits, with such a team of soldiers and horses, he could defeat the Qing army, and he also won such a big battle, that Zhou Shixiang was really powerful.

Qixiucai is really a talent!

Zhu Youlang also sighed a little, he didn't think much about it, and said with a smile: "It's okay, they are all righteous people who have my great wisdom in their hearts, no matter what your background was before, I will treat everyone equally in the future, and I will never be biased." ”

Liang Shuanghu looked excited: "Your Majesty, I really want to work hard for you and drive away the Manchurian Tartars, and I even deliberately learned from Yue Wumu to write behind my back!" ”

"Oh?"

Zhu Youlang's spirits perked, could it be that God really wants to bless Daming Zhongxing, otherwise how can a martial artist know to learn from Yue Wumu. He was a little excited and asked, "But you have to be loyal to the country?" ”

Liang Shuanghu shook his head and said: "I don't know how to read, and I don't know what that person carved for me, or the emperor will help me take a look?" ”

"Presumptuous!"

When Ding Jishan heard that Liang Shuanghu wanted the emperor to look at the inscription on his back, he couldn't help but scold, it was too unseemly, how could anyone be naked in front of the emperor.

Zhu Youlang smiled and signaled Ding Jishan not to make a fuss, and he said to Liang Shuanghu: "It's okay, you take off your shirt, and I will take a look at the words engraved on your back with Guogong for you." ”

"Hey, good! I'm going to take off my clothes! ”

Liang Shuanghu didn't seem to see Guo Shao's eyes that came over to stop him, unbuttoned his clothes, turned around violently and pulled his shirt down.

"Your Majesty, is it engraved on my back to serve the country with loyalty?" Liang Shuanghu proudly turned his back to everyone.

There was no sound behind it.

Zhu Youlang was speechless.

Mu Tianbo also had nothing to say.

Ding Jishan and Wang Kun were in a daze.

Half-ringing, Qi Fu laughed out loud. He couldn't help but laugh, because this Liang Shuanghu was indeed engraved with words on his back, but it was not engraved with loyalty to the country, but with five big black characters - "Shunzhi is a dog".

"I learn from Yue Wu Mu Jingzhong to serve the country, and these big characters are engraved on the back, which is to remind me all the time to calm the Manchurian Tartars for the emperor, and protect the emperor Zhongxing I Daming, even if I die on the battlefield, the horse leather shroud will not hesitate!"

Guo Shao took a deep breath, looked at Liang Shuanghu with a very strange look, and only repeated one thought in his mind: Was this Qiu Ba really honest or fake before it?

"Good, good, good to serve the country! What a loyal to the country! ”

Zhu Youlang couldn't help laughing, and only said to Liang Shuanghu, even if he was not engraved on his back to serve the country with loyalty, he would be loyal to the country in the future, because his emperor Chrysostom opened, "Shunzhi is a dog" is loyal to the country! (To be continued.) )
