Chapter 155: Prime Minister Wang Suppresses Bandits in Mount Langdang
Before he died, Taoist Guo kept reciting silently: "I have been a plotter all my life, and I was plotted once when I got here."
It is wrong to say that destiny is determined by nature. It is better to say that everything depends on human beings. If Taoist Guo were to fall into the hands of a young eunuch, let him admit his mistake and ridicule him a few words, maybe he would let him go. Just like before
Zhu Linzong said, the worst case is just a one-shot deal, and he will die happily. But old Guo Tou is unlucky, how come he got into Hu San's hands? Hu Sanyi has a lot of good intentions, and there are not many bad intentions.
Shao. He neither killed nor beat. He was hungry for several days. He finally escaped from the prison. He just had a glimmer of hope to survive. In the end, he fed him a lot of wine and meat, which made Guo Banxian such a famous figure.
, and ended up supporting himself to death. This Hu San, do you think he is a good person or a bad person?
In the previous chapter of the book, Hu San is not a god, and Guo Banxian sneaked into his hut. It was a pure coincidence, not that he could do calculations. If he had that ability, he would be called Hu Banxian instead of Hu San.
To be on the safe side, he had soldiers ambushing him on all sides. It was agreed in advance that as long as Guo Banxian left the city, anyone he caught would be killed, and don't ask about Zhang San and Li Si. And it was best to crush him to death, cover him to death, or beat him to death.
Okay, the principle is not to let him bleed. In this way, Guo Banxian got the best ending, and ended up with a happy ending.
Since Wang Shugui sent away Guo Banxian and the others that day, he has been very confident and confident, thinking that his merits have been fulfilled. The little eunuch has passed away, so what else does he have to fear? He thinks that he is about to achieve great success, but the little emperor is just a deaf ear, Tong Yatou
It was also vulnerable. Who would have thought that a few days later, things would change suddenly and the little eunuch would actually be alive again? This is really a cooked duck letting it fly again, and the fried wheat grains can actually sprout and grow leaves? What a surprise
His family, a rare strange thing in the world, just happened to him! What Wang Shugui was thinking about at this time was not how to investigate the little eunuch's physical condition. He suddenly thought of his one hundred thousand taels of silver. He must not beat the odds.
Can't we take advantage of that stinky old man? What kind of bullshit half-immortal, he is at best a 250-year-old, a half-hearted person, a three-legged cat, and a charlatan. Prime Minister Wang scolded and complained, but the key was how to get the money back as soon as possible. Wang Shugui did not dare to neglect it.
, quickly organized troops, and hurriedly sent people to pursue them. They must claim back the one hundred thousand taels of silver, not a single penny less. Although the contract was not signed at that time, there was an oral agreement: if things are done, payment will be made, and if things are not done, nothing will be taken.
, Now that things have reached this stage, he has the nerve to embezzle this huge sum of money?
Coincidentally, before the people sent out set out, the three government soldiers who were acting as bodyguards and protecting the money came back.
Prime Minister Wang was furious when he asked about the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The man named Zhu Linzong turned out to be a group of bandits! This time he has caught the clue. He will face you tomorrow morning. What else can the little eunuch say?
In the morning of the second day, Prime Minister Wang came out and said:
"Long live my emperor. I heard that about three hundred miles west of the capital, there is Langdang Mountain. Bandits are raging on the mountain and dominate the area. The merchants in the past said that the mountain has changed and they dare not do anything without permission. People near and far suffer from it.
The people are complaining endlessly. I hope our emperor will send out the heavenly troops to wipe out the mountain bandits as soon as possible to show the emperor's great kindness. The people of Li will raise their hands and foreheads and pop their crowns to celebrate."
When the little emperor heard that there was banditry, he naturally turned his attention to the little eunuch, because he was in charge of the military affairs. Of course the little eunuch understood what the emperor meant, but he was inconvenient to speak, so he had to lower his head and remain silent. Before the little emperor could speak,
, Prime Minister Wang was afraid that the young eunuch would talk too much, so he hurriedly said:
"I have received a secret report that General Zhu Linzong of the Xiaoqiu School has an affair with bandits. He helped bandits rob passing merchants in front of the mountain a few days ago. Please deal with it together with the emperor."
"No way..." The little emperor shook his head like a drum and said, "General Zhu is an important minister in the court. How can he associate with bandits if he only lacks a few small coins? You must have some information.
Wrong, you may not know if you are wrong. How about this, in order to find out clearly, investigate General Zhu and Zhu Linzong at Dali Temple, and then you can consider the matter of sending troops!"
The little emperor's mind was clear for a while, and unclear for a while. This time he probably understood a little bit. When the queen pulled the rope, there was no movement from the queen. He had something to do and was anxious to leave the court quickly, so he simply went on by himself to declare the decree.
road:
"Zhu Linzong will be suspended from duty from now on for self-examination and will be handed over to Dali Temple for investigation. The matter of exterminating the bandits will be decided by the prime minister himself."
As soon as the holy order came out, Prime Minister Wang had great power and urgently summoned Wen Shichang to the mansion for discussion. Wen Shichang said:
"Your Majesty, it is not difficult to exterminate the bandits. If I recommend someone for this lowly position, I will definitely succeed immediately."
"Who are you talking about?" Prime Minister Wang didn't know who Wen Shichang was thinking of.
"Zhao Xiaogao." Wen Shichang said affirmatively.
Wang Shugui nodded and said: "For the current plan, there is no other general except Xiao Gao who can go out into the battle. It's just that this person currently has no official position and no position. If you let others send troops to fight, you have to give them a reason?"
Wen Shichang said: "This matter is simple. As long as you, Enxiang, say in front of the emperor tomorrow morning that you want to appoint Zhao Xiaogao as the general. Since the emperor has ordered Enxiang to take full charge of the plan to suppress the bandits, the matter will definitely be agreed."
The emperor passed a decree and ordered Wen Shichang to be the commander of the capital for the suppression of bandits, with a fourth-grade official title, and Zhao Xiaogao to be the deputy commander of the capital, with a fifth-grade official title, and to allocate 30,000 elite soldiers to dispatch troops on an auspicious day to annihilate the bandits in Langdang Mountain.
As soon as the news came out, two people were troubled, one was the young eunuch and the other was Cao Huazhi. The young eunuch thought, how could Lin Rugui and Qi Guangyuan be Zhao Xiaogao's opponents? Cao Huazhi was thinking about Lin and Qi Guangyuan, and they had feelings for her.
The grace of saving her life, and the two of them were as close as brother and sister to her. Once the stronghold was breached, they would all be destroyed. If a soldier was captured and came down from the mountain and told the truth, she would not be able to escape the relationship. Cao Huazhi made an appointment with the young eunuch and asked him what he had done to defeat the soldier.
The little eunuch had already made up his mind and said:
"A good wife does not need to panic. She will take the opportunity this time to take the life of that fake eunuch, otherwise there will be trouble in the future."
Cao Huazhi said: "Have you thought about it? My two brothers are average in martial arts. How can a hundred or ten people on the mountain stand up to thirty thousand soldiers?"
The little eunuch consoled him: "Don't worry, the army will retreat within ten days."
Cao Huazhi was dissatisfied and said: "Pan Lang, if you just say nice things, the heads of the two brothers will be gone in ten days. Where can I find you?"
The little eunuch smiled and said: "My two brothers are very kind to me. If you want to let me go, I won't let you go! I will send people on fast horses to inform them that they will defend the stronghold and refuse to send troops. Even if there are 30,000 horses, such a slender horse
Even a small trail cannot be easily conquered."
Cao Huazhi lowered his head and thought for a while, then said: "What you said is not unreasonable. I wonder which magic weapon you want to invite to help you fight this time. Could it be one of your husband's wives?"
The little eunuch laughed and said: "The one who knows me is my wife. I'm thinking about which one I should use this time. But if you want to invite me, I'll invite you two. A good wife won't dare to be jealous!"
Cao Huazhi also covered her mouth and smiled and said: "No matter how many wives you have, just don't divorce me then."
"I swear!" cried the little eunuch, "every wife is my life."
Cao Huazhi said angrily: "Okay, my great lord, stop swearing and implement your plan as soon as possible!"
