Everyone came to the post station while talking. The inside and outside of the post station had been prepared for a long time. Several imperial envoys were also curiously waiting for the general who had been ordered and rewarded by the emperor. According to the rules of the imperial court, if the imperial emissary had not announced the decree and delivered it to the other party in person,
He was not allowed to return to the court, so the six imperial envoys had been waiting here for Zhang Xiaowu.
At this time, six imperial envoys were lined up in the inn, which was really unheard of and unseen. Everyone looked at this scene curiously. Even the imperial envoys looked at each other and suppressed their laughter. They finally breathed a sigh of relief.
They can return to the court.
"By God's blessing, on the seventeenth day of the first lunar month of the first year of Dade, I heard that the envoy from Mucheng left the city and chose..." The envoys probably made an agreement long ago. They announced the edict in the order of arrival. This first imperial edict was
It was announced five days after Zhang Xiaowu escorted Su Yu. Calculating the time, we can see that Zhang Xiaowu's memorial was rushed to the palace by the post station, and the emperor reviewed it immediately, which shows that Emperor Dade attached great importance to Saibei.
Unlike outsiders who often say that Emperor Dade gave up on Saibei, he was a tolerant but ambitious person. The appearance of Zhang Xiaowu rekindled Emperor Dade's confidence in Saibei. At the same time, the appearance of Emperor Dade also made Emperor Dade think that he was the god of heaven.
The gift given to him may be the secret weapon against Du Shanbo.
Zhang Xiaowu was confused when he heard the imperial edict, and he cursed in his heart. Isn't the imperial edict written in vernacular when watching TV? Why is it so convoluted? The imperial edicts of the Ming and Qing Dynasties are more straightforward and easier to understand.
Ruan Qingwen saw his confused face and hurriedly explained: "The meaning of this first imperial edict is that the general made the mistake of protecting Yu Envoy Su from carrying peace talks without notification. He should be punished. However, Your Majesty wants the general to serve the country wholeheartedly."
Regardless of safety, the merits and demerits are balanced and no punishment will be given. The meaning of this second imperial edict is that the general has a thorough analysis of the situation in northern Saibei and delivers the information to the Holy See in a timely manner, which is very popular with His Majesty. The meaning of this third imperial edict is that for
The general treated the mad prince and was very relieved that his majesty could enjoy brotherly love. He also told him to treat him well and escort the prince back to the capital for treatment after Longdu was rebuilt. The fourth imperial edict was to punish the general for killing Wuhuan general Yegu Zhashishi.
In order to reward a hundred taels of gold. The fifth decree was to order the Mucheng defenders to hold on to the city and open up territory for the empire. The fifth imperial edict was sent by Jin the day before yesterday. After hearing the news, the general persuaded Beiyi and Mohe to withdraw their troops, and rescued 20,000 soldiers and civilians of Mucheng.
His Majesty has specially appointed you as a third-grade general, the garrison of Saibei, to garrison Mucheng and take charge of the war in Saibei."
"Am I in charge of the war in northern Saibei?" Zhang Xiaowu smiled so hard that his teeth were exposed, "The emperor is indeed a wise king, a very wise king."
Everyone couldn't help but laugh, but their mood got better. Ruan Qingwen said: "The imperial court hopes that the general can rescue one hundred thousand soldiers and civilians of Jincheng. The general rescued 20,000 people, which is barely half done. The emperor also hopes that the general can rescue the remaining 30,000 elite soldiers. If the general
If we fail to do so, the defender of Saibei will be punished."
Zhang Xiaowu pinched his waist and laughed loudly: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. I am a commoner, so why should I fear rewards and punishments? Justice is in the heart of the people. Today, the Japanese general is happy, happy. Let's go and take a bath with me."
Everyone was stunned, but when they were in the epidemic village, a group of big men often took a bath together. The northerners were rough, so it was awkward to soak naked together. However, the six imperial envoys looked at each other, and several men actually took a bath together... Everyone was full of body
Shivering, what is going on?
Zhang Xiaowu never thought that southerners and northerners had different views on men bathing together. He led his men to spend four difficult months in the ice and snow. He didn't take a bath for four months, and his body was so smelly that he couldn't even smell it.
Being able to take a hot bath now is like a miracle.
Ruan Qingwen said hurriedly: "Well... I'd better get used to a hot bath."
Xiao Kai said: "Sir, hot water has been heated in the house."
Zhang Xiaowu said regretfully: "Actually, this bathing is for everyone to take a bath together. Do you want to be honest with each other? You are right?"
Ruan Qingwen said in her heart: "Being honest with each other is not being naked."
With the six imperial edicts in hand, Zhang Xiaowu returned to the house and saw Mang Zhongwai looking at him with big eyes filled with tears. He was so happy that the corners of his mouth almost burst to the base of his ears. The servants' faces were full of joy. Zhang Xiaowu walked over and caressed him.
With his little head, Manzhong said with a smile: "Little guy, you have grown up. You are no longer a small potato - you have grown into a big potato."
Manzhong asked in confusion: "What is a potato?"
Only then did Zhang Xiaowu realize that there were no such creatures as potatoes in this place. He laughed and changed the subject and asked: "Have the hot water, soap, and bath master prepared for me?"
"Ready." Eg Zhong said, chewing a pair of small tiger teeth.
"Open up!"
He soaked in the hot water for a full hour, and then asked the strong soldiers in the military camp to help him rub the mud. Two kilograms of sweat mud came out.
The bodybuilder who was taking the bath praised: "I had a great time scrubbing today. I haven't produced so much dirt for a long time. This is something I can brag about in my life."
Zhang Xiaowu was so embarrassed that he said: "You don't have to be sad. I brought back more than 700 scouts and cavalry. You rub them in one by one. I guarantee that you will get enough of the mud."
Jianzu grinned and said, "That's good, but I can't get through it, so I have to take a few of my apprentices with me."
Zhang Xiaowu burst out laughing. He didn't expect that the clay grinder would also have an apprentice.
He slept until noon the next day before waking up. After waking up, Xiao Kai reported to him the situation of Mucheng and the official documents of the imperial court. From the beginning of the year to now, the imperial court had not supported Mucheng with a single soldier or a grain of grain, nor had a single person immigrated to the border.
After Emperor Da De came to the throne, all the people in the Holy Han Empire, except those who had committed serious crimes and rebels, were pardoned and returned home, and there were even no prisoners left in exile.
"At the beginning of June, eight thousand prisoners of the princeling conspiracy will be sent to Mucheng." Xiao Kai asked again, "How to deal with these people?"
Zhang Xiaowu took over the Ministry of War files and felt that there was something strange in it. The prince rebelled against the party and would not be sent to Mucheng. After all, the prince was here, and the Qinglong Army was the direct descendant of the prince. He felt that there must be a conspiracy in it, so he immediately summoned Ruan Qingwen and Ruan Qingwen.
Qingwen was also shocked when he learned about it and shouted: "They are either testing you or watching you. Once you treat the remnant party well, someone will definitely accuse you of colluding with the prince's rebellion."
Zhang Xiaowu was furious. Sure enough, before the dog barbarians retreated, someone dug a hole for him and waited to deal with him later. The internal fighting among the Holy Han's factions was so cruel that they ignored the interests of the country. He couldn't help but clenched his fists and gritted his teeth.
Said: "Let Hu Sanwan find out who has framed me."
Ruan Qingwen said: "General, don't worry, the war in the north of Saibei will not stop, they will never take action against you. After rescuing the Qinglong Army, your Excellency, you should make a great contribution. Even if someone wants to impeach you, you should also consider the face of the court. In
In my opinion, the emperor will definitely use you to check Du Shanbo, so they don’t dare to do anything, it’s just a villain’s trick.”
