Chapter 315 Another Imperial slug
Naturally, they did not peel and cramp the imperial messenger. On the contrary, they respectfully welcomed him into the clean Pingxing government office.
However, although Yunshang repeatedly promised to reassure Zhu Fugui, Zhu Fugui still decided to arrange 500 armored soldiers to accompany him, just in case.
Yunshang thought for a moment and nodded, "In this case, Yunshang also took the 300 guards left by General Lu. Let's show off our force!"
Zhu Fugui didn't understand who Yunshang said about showing off his force. He was just worried, urgently mobilized the soldiers, and rushed to the gate first. Yunshang, on the other hand, dragged behind on the grounds that she needed to prepare.
Zhangjiangmen is the most beautiful city gate in Pingxing Prefecture. The building is two floors high, with eaves and ridges, and magnificent. Next to the building is the world-famous Tengwang Pavilion. In the pavilion, there is also an official pavilion, which can accommodate more than 300 people. It is specially for officials to rest here, transfer to sedan chairs or horses, and enter Pingxing Prefecture.
Today, the imperial envoy from the capital waited here for the time being, waiting for the officials in Pingxing Prefecture to welcome him.
Zhu Fugui straightened his armor and slowly glanced at the submissive Pingxing magistrate who followed him and the two political envoys, political envoys, criminal inspectors and other officials who stood on the other side of the road, as well as a large number of local gentry and eunuchs in the distance, and said in a low voice, "Open the door."
In an hour of drumming and music, Zhang Jiangmen finally closed the door for a few days and welcomed the guests.
On the side of the imperial envoy, the accompanying sergeants brushed the goose wings and scattered in two columns, neatly giving up a passageway, with many knives and halberd, so solemn. And the imperial envoy also staggered out of the receiving pavilion and accepted the salute from the people in Pingxing Prefecture.
This imperial envoy turned out to be a father-in-law!
However, looking at the other party's feminine white face and listening to the male duck-like voice, Zhu Fugui did not dare to be disrespectful. He was originally a bodyguard in the palace. Naturally, he recognized this person, who is the current real power in the palace. He is known as the internal servant of the general manager of Hong, the red father-in-law, and the red prince.
As for the officials and gentry from all walks of life in Pingxing Prefecture, they dare not neglect it. If the general manager of the palace can climb high, it will be a lifelong glory. Although there are some Qingliu lineage, they think that they are the direct line of Cao Taifu and don't look up to the "eunuch", but the identity of the imperial envoy is what they have to respect, not to mention that they still have a task in their body. They should count on the imperial envoy to relay rumors for them. Why did they "urge the law" and "reorganize the traitor" that happened in the previous period of Pingxing Mansion? It's evil.
Therefore, there were a lot of exaggerated compliments, and they all wanted to make a good impression on the imperial envoy at the first time.
Even the two highest-level political envoys in Pingxing Prefecture are no exception.
But Hongqi's father-in-law became an imperial envoy, but he was arrogant and ignored the flattery of the people in Pingxing Prefecture. He said a few words to Zhu Fugui and went straight to the topic: "I heard that General Lu and Princess Wuyou are here?"
"If you go back to General Manager Sun, Major General Lu has already set off on the fifth day of the first lunar month. Princess Wuyou is here. She will be there in a minute.
As the two sides were talking, they suddenly heard the horse hissing from afar. Everyone smapped. When they looked back, they saw smoke and dust on a long street in Pingxing City. I don't know how many people were coming towards the gate.
Fortunately, at a while, people approached. Looking at the armor, it was Lu Shen's personal guard uniform, but it was different from when he came. These 300 people, Yunshang asked Zhu Fugui to equip them with horses, and the infantry changed to cavalry, but the awe-in majesty and evil spirit did not change. At this time, they were pulled out, and they were all armored with bright armor and knives. The sword is like snow, and the fighting spirit is high.
When they arrived at the city gate, the guards shouted, took the horse to the left and right, and gave up the middle... Yunshang.
Zhu Fugui hasn't seen Yunshang like this for a long time.
On that day, when the governor met at the government, he immediately fought with blood, guarded the city, tired and saved his life. After that, Yunshang was lingering in the sick bed, which made him forget the previous demeanor of the carefree princess.
However, Yunshang, which is now arched by the army, does not wear a six-grade martial arts uniform according to the system, but a cinnabar brocade robe, a silver jade belt, a sharp blade at the waist, and a foot-legging cloud boots. It was really a fresh and angry horse, and the beauty was like jade; I saw her flying to the gate, holding the horse on the street, and the horse stood up and hissing with his head high. And Yunshang sat on the horse with a smile. That kind of airy attitude is so enviable!
Grandpa Hong had already seen the figure and quickly caught up with a few steps. In the opposite direction, she arched her hand and said, "Princess Wuyou, I haven't seen you for such a long time, and it's still so glorious!" I'm here to give a gift to Princess Wuyou!"
At that time, the chins of everyone in Pingxing Prefecture were about to fall off. What's more, Pingxing is far away from the capital, and there is less nerve to gossip and rumors in Beijing. It is said that after Lou Duo, the Lou family lost power, and Yunshang was made into a rebellious prison army by your majesty. Although it is well known, Yunshang's emperor's favor has not declined, and it is just a romantic rumor and a smile after tea and dinner. Who would have thought that Yunshang's power is still here!
In the face of the flattery attitude of the red father-in-law, Yunshang gently jumped off the horse, raised the whip, and said with a slightly affectionate smile, "Is it the imperial envoy this time? Come on, let's go to the Qingfeng Tower together. General Zhu held a banquet over there to pick up your old man!"
Although this attitude is a familiar tone, it seems a little contemptful for an imperial envoy. However, most of the people in Pingxing Mansion have just put their cold buttocks on their hot faces with their father-in-law, and they are secretly happy with what Yunshang is doing now.
When Hongqi's father-in-law heard that he was going to the restaurant, he said that he didn't dare. He only said that he was holy and wanted to announce the decree before he dared to talk about anything else.
Yunshang couldn't resist, so she had to follow him.
So on the way to the governor's mansion, Hongqigong, Yunshang, and Zhu Fugui, who were pulled by Yunshang, walked side by side in front; behind were the officials of the Sanshimen of Jiangnan West Road, who were much higher than Yunshang and Zhu Fugui, and Pingxing magistrate, participating in politics, and eunuchsquires...
On both sides of the road, there is a dense line of Zhennan soldiers. Since Yunshang appeared with three hundred "begging" guards, these people have been on the verge of excitement. Although they did not know the role of Yunshang in Zhu Pingxing's guard battle, the five hundred "recruited envoys" personal guards became a myth as early as the Zhennan Army.
After defeating the barefoot army, Lu Shen took away nearly 200 guards, and the other 300 people also lived in the governor's mansion with Yunshang. Therefore, there was no way for the respect of the soldiers of the Zhennan Army for these heroes. Today, I suddenly saw the majestic "mythical figure" appear in front of me. The surging mood can be imagined.
I don't know who took the lead in shouting first, "Your Majesty's holy body is healthy!" Next, it turned into a huge wave, the soldiers of the Zhennan Army, and the people who were blocked from the outside. They found the way to vent their feelings one by one, and shouted loudly, "Your Majesty is well!" The worry-free princess is well-being!" General Lu is well-being!" There are even General Zhu and Lord Qinqin; the hearts of the people along the way are like a mirror, which can be seen from the back.
The sound was surging, and those political envoys and participating in politics were pale. The heart that I had to take the opportunity of the arrival of the imperial envoy to turn over the case for the governor has faded a lot. There is no need to ask what the imperial edict is written. Just by looking at today's situation, you will know that the Dafeng Dynasty has been using literature and martial arts for hundreds of years. I'm afraid it will turn around.
***
There are several copies of the imperial edict brought by the Red Grandpa.
The first thing I read was about the killing of Feng Ziliang, the governor of Shuzhong.
Zhu Fugui knelt among the big and small officials of Pingxing Mansion, listened to the voice of the red father-in-law, and read it word by word. His tight heart also slowly let go.
Emperor Feng Ziqi declared in his decree that Feng Ziliang, the governor of Shu, was always unscrupulous; "Today, there is Lu Shen's secret order to kill this thief, which is very comforted; I also heard that the local bandits in Shu are not frequent, and the obstruction is solved outside. Why haven't you heard of Fuzhen? The officers and soldiers swept away to get through the way. For example, the local gentleman and people advocate righteousness and urgency, loyal and indignant oath, immediately report it, so as to use it according to the record. If there is a rumor to deceive the public, abandon the city and advocate for escape, immediately arrest and investigate, pay for property without officials, and do not indulge..."
In fact, Zhu Fugui didn't hear the words in his ears; his heart has always been full of that sentence: "With the secret purpose of loneliness!" What does it mean to be a secret order? That is to say, the emperor resisted this matter completely by himself! He still remembers that Lu Shen said that His Majesty gave him the sword of the emperor and allowed him to act cheaply. However, whether it is the Tianzi sword or acting cheaply, it can't explain the extreme behavior of killing second-grade officials.
Only now is the case, that is, the emperor takes this responsibility for himself, so that he can exonerate them and not to condemn them. But in this way, I'm afraid that even the emperor himself will have to endure the nagging of the officials for a long time, and even have a violent and arbitrary reputation.
He did not expect that the emperor would bear this responsibility that did not belong to him. Originally, the best expectation was that perhaps His Majesty would take the face of Lu Shen and Yunshang, let him go and find any scapegoat to take this responsibility.
But now... Zhu Fugui has a feeling of no retribution in his heart. Then he smiled bitterly in his heart and endured the officialdom for so many years. He thought he had seen through it. Who would have expected that at such a juncture, there were still some people who died for their bosom friend!
I just don't know whose face it is for His Majesty to do so? Lu Shen? Yunshang?
Eunuch Hongqi took out the second imperial edict: "I have a deputy general of the Zhennan Army, Zhu Fugui, the captain of the fourth grade light car, has made great achievements in the rebellion, and specially added the rank of Major General Lu, and ordered him to temporarily act as the governor of the Zhennan Army." Then Grandpa Hongqi stopped and looked at Zhu Fugui and said with a smile, "General Zhu, this will is just issued after your majesty received the report from Feng Ziliang's death. At that time, the court did not know about the defeat of the barefoot army in Pingxing. I believe that in a short time, there will be another holy order. I'm afraid that the reward at that time will not be as simple as adding a temporary title!"
