I don’t know when this novel called "Ghost General" appeared on the streets of Longdu. Although the people hated the Battle of Saibei, and because the Qinglong Army defeated Saibei, many people were unwilling to discuss everything about this war. How did the people know that in the
There is still a young general in the northern part of the city who is trying to turn the tide, and there is also a son of civilian origin who single-handedly resisted hundreds of thousands of dog-barbarian coalition forces, and even killed them and returned in defeat.
It's enough to shoot back millions of dog barbarians with three arrows in Tucheng. There are also killing the three King Kongs in the north of Saibei in the prison camp, entering the death camp and escorting Miss Gu's family to cut off the sand bandits in the north of Saibei on the way, and setting off the Sixth Regiment and the people of Mucheng to burn Wuhuan.
cavalry, escort so
Su Yu and the seventh prince went north to fight with the Northern Yi civil servants, persuaded hundreds of thousands of Mohe and the Northern Yi army to move away, destroyed the Uzi army, assassinated the Tartar King Li Gaotu, and killed five generals in a row and captured one alive under the wooden city. These various stories made Longdu
The people were intoxicated.
However, since the novel "The Ghost General" involves the seventh prince, and the court unanimously determined that the person who persuaded Mohe and the Northern Yi army to retreat was the seventh prince Xuanyuan Zidong, in "The Ghost General", the seventh prince is completely transparent
People are dispensable,
Even the absence of the seventh prince did not matter at all. His existence was not as good as that of a guard named Wang Yijin under the ghost general. So many people realized that in fact, the seventh prince was not involved at all. The court deliberately gave the credit to the seventh prince.
Thinking of the various unsavory behaviors of the Seventh Prince in Longdu City, everyone agreed that it was impossible for the Seventh Prince to secretly follow the army northward.
Soon, someone else revealed that the imperial emissary Su Yu only brought thirty-six guards with him when he went north, and these guards all signed death certificates before leaving. Even the guards thought they would die. How could a prince put himself in danger?
.Then someone went to seek confirmation from the thirty-six guards.
Naturally, they did not get the emperor's warning and did not know the reason, so they vigorously testified: "The seventh prince? Doesn't exist at all? With his troublemaking temperament, how dare you let him go to Saibei? If he angers Quan Yi,
Could it be that we were cooked on the spot for the savages to eat?"
The novel "The Ghost General" was extremely exciting and quickly spread to the palace and ministers. So someone took the opportunity to impeach Zhang Xiaowu for trying to seize the power of the seventh prince. Everyone knows that the person who persuaded Quan Yi to retreat was
He was the seventh prince, and it was precisely because of this that the seventh prince was forgiven by the emperor and ordered to return to the prince's palace to reflect for three years. Now if the news about the seventh prince is false, wouldn't it mean that the court lied and the emperor lied?
How can the emperor lie?
If the emperor lied, where would the country's face be and where would the Holy Han Empire's face be?
Emperor Dade was furious and ordered all books of "Ghost General" to be sealed and destroyed. At the same time, Emperor Dade ordered Jin Yiwei to conduct a thorough investigation of the author of "Ghost General". However, "Ghost General"
The author Ximen Chuideng is just a pen name. Anyone can call himself Ximen Chuideng, so where can I start to look it up?
The commander-in-chief of the Golden Guards, Wang Jingzhi, was in trouble. In the past, all such investigation work was left to the Silver Guards. The Golden Guards were only responsible for two tasks. One was to monitor whether the ministers had any rebellious intentions, and the other was to collect intelligence from various places.
It was passed to the emperor in a timely and effective manner and asked them to handle the case and investigate the author. Although it was not overkill, it was also wrong.
Wang Jingzhi immediately thought of the former Longdu Governor, Su Yulai, who was almost killed by him. Although this kid was as timid as a mouse and greedy for money, he was quite capable. He served as the Longdu Governor for two months.
, done more than thirty
So Wang Jingzhi found Su Yu. Su Yu was so frightened that he almost peed his pants, thinking that Wang Jingzhi had discovered him. However, when he learned that Wang Jingzhi asked him to find out who Ximen Blowing the Lamp was, Su Yu actually laughed.
.
"Shuai Yu, now I am just a small manager of the Fan Liyuan, how can I dare to interfere with the Jinyiwei issue?" Su Yu said hurriedly.
Wang Jingzhi suddenly said: "You can help our Jinyiwei."
Su Yu understood in an instant that Wang Jingzhi was trying to recruit him to work in Jinyiwei. His mind was racing and he suddenly laughed and said, "Shuai Yu is joking. If I go to Jinyiwei, wouldn't I be taking away Yushuai's job?"
,Besides, I don’t have the ability to command the Jin Yiwei. You also know that I love
Wealth, I'm afraid that if I become the commander-in-chief of the Jinyiwei, the Jinyiwei will become a household specializing in collecting wealth in the future, don't you think?" It's not wrong for Su Yu to say this, because in terms of rank, Su Yu and Wang Jingzhi are
They are at the same level. If he goes to Jin Yiwei, according to his rank, he can only take Wang Jingzhi's place.
So Wang Jingzhi laughed loudly and said: "I am in need of an assistant..."
Su Yudao: "If the reward is enough, I can also help part-time."
Wang Jingzhi was speechless for a moment, then said: "How about one hundred taels of silver a month and help me with Mr. Sifang?"
"One hundred and fifty taels." Su Yu immediately counter-offered.
Wang Jingzhi: "..."
If you let the thief search for the thief, you will naturally not find the thief. Su Yu also knows why Wang Jingzhi must pull him into the Golden Guard, because Wang Jingzhi's Golden Guard has never been able to extend his tentacles into the Ghost Guard, let alone win over the Ghost Guard.
Generals, so they target themselves. But Su Yu also knows the value of his existence. The cunning rabbit will die and the lackey will be cooked. Because of the threat of the ghost guard, the golden guard must rely on him, so the ghost guard must not fall.
As for Ximen Chuideng, the author of "The Ghost Will Go", well, let him go...
"Ghost General" is very popular and loved by the people. The reason lies in three points. The first point is that the story is too exciting. The second point is that the people need a hero who can defeat the bandits. The third point is that
Zhang Xiaowu came from a grassroots civilian background, and the people also need an idol who comes from a civilian background.
The Holy Han Empire was a dualistic society. The gentry had a sparse population, but controlled almost all the resources of the empire. The common people had a large population, but they survived as dependents of the gentry. Although the Holy Han Empire established Mengyin Halls in various places to widely teach civilian children to read and read,
But the purpose of these children's education and literacy was to serve the nobles. The imperial examination held every three years was ostensibly the only opportunity for ordinary people to get rid of their current status and advance to the official ranks.
But looking at the top three rankings of every imperial examination, 80% are students from noble families, 10% are from wealthy families, and 10% are civilian students. But this 10% of civilian students are just officials. The real
I want to become a nobleman,
In other words, getting rid of civilian status is actually very difficult. The emergence of Zhang Xiaowu gave many people hope and made many people realize that there are many wastes among the nobles today. When the country is in danger, civilians like them need to come forward to help.
.
As a result, Zhang Xiaowu became a thorn in the side of many noble officials. Who could not be jealous of such a commoner-born general who had outstanding abilities, repeatedly performed extraordinary feats, and had the support of the people? Let alone ordinary officials.
Du Shanbo also wondered how Zhang Xiaowu was so loved by the people.
