Chapter 135 Cleaning up the house for Brother Ruqi
Early the next morning, Gao pragmatically issued a license in the name of the Bingxian Yamen and summoned the commanders of the four guards of Liaonan Jinfuhai and Gaizhou to rush to the Gaizhou Bingxian Yamen for a meeting on the first day of August.
From the time when the licensing department convened to the official meeting, Gao Pragmatic was not idle. First, he put some construction projects that he had planned to carry out in southern Liaoning on the agenda, and wrote letters to various branches in Beijing to let him know.
They started taking action according to the plan.
Then he personally went to Yingkou Port to inspect the development of Yingkou. By the time he returned to Gaizhou, it was already the end of July and the scheduled meeting time was about to come.
Although the meeting time is on the first day of August, when the superior officer convenes the meeting, of course the subordinates cannot insist on "arriving on time". They must arrive in advance and pay a visit to the superior officer. This is an agreed upon custom, and in the words of later generations, it is an unspoken rule.
However, until the night before the meeting, only three people came to visit Gao Pragmatic, namely Jiang Enyuan, the commander of the Gaizhou Guard, Pu Yuanyi, the commander of the Haizhou Guard, and Cao Jian, the commander of the Jinzhou Guard.
The remaining Fuzhou Guard Commander never showed up.
Gao Puzhi waited until nearly midnight that night, then sneered and went to bed expressionlessly.
The next day, a meeting was formally held in the Military Military Yamen. In addition to the commanders of the guards, General Haigai Kong Dongru was invited to attend the meeting.
The three commanders Jiang Enyuan, Pu Yuanyi and Cao Jian all arrived at the Bingxian Yamen early, while Kong Dongru, the counselor of Haigai, did not arrive in a hurry until less than a stick of incense before the meeting.
To his surprise, when he was brought into the meeting hall by Gao Jingshi's servants, he discovered that Gao Jingshi, the principal and Shangguan, had actually arrived early.
Leaders generally do not arrive at the meeting place in advance. This is a custom throughout the ages. This situation is not entirely because the leader wants to put on airs. In fact, it is also for the consideration of the subordinates - if the leaders have arrived and you, the subordinate, have not arrived, wouldn't it be wrong?
Embarrassing? However, since the leader arrived early, as long as the subordinates are not late, they will be wronged.
But something obviously happened today. Gao Pragmatic, a Shangguan, appeared in the conference hall before Kong Dongru.
Kong Dongru was secretly shocked, and he immediately became cautious, stepped forward quickly, and paid homage: "General Kong Dongru, I have seen Bing Xian! I will be late, please punish Bing Xian!"
The normal honorific title of Bingbei Dao is "Observation", which emphasizes its civilian nature. However, when it comes to military affairs, it is often called "Bingxian", which emphasizes its power to supervise and manage the army.
.
At this time, Kong Dongru called "Military Constitution", which meant that he was a subordinate. This was also his subconscious behavior after he became cautious just now, and it probably meant that he was submissive.
Gao pragmatic didn't seem to be angry. He nodded with a smile and said: "Kong Canrong is not late, and he has arrived almost a stick of incense early. What's the crime? Please get up and sit down."
"Yes, I will finally thank Bingxian for his kindness."
Regardless of whether he is late or not, it is always right to give in first to avoid being stared at and beaten, especially if the other party is his immediate superior and a civil servant, so he cannot ignore it. This is Kong Dongru's experience gained from many years of military service.
.
As soon as Kong Dongru sat down, he noticed that something was wrong with the atmosphere in the flower hall. He looked around quietly and immediately discovered the problem - the chief officer, Gao Pragmatic, was sitting upright, but said nothing. The other three commanders were not high enough and had no basic knowledge.
Dare not take the initiative to speak.
In fact, the "level" of the commander is not low, but the actual status is low. In the current era of the Ming Dynasty, if a single commander has no other tasks, the actual status is quite worrying.
Why didn't Gao Bingxian say a word?
Kong Dongru looked at it quietly, and suddenly his hair stood on end - where is Fuzhou Guard Commander Li Rugui?
Li Rugui, commander of the Fuzhou Guard, is Li Chengliang’s nephew! [Note: The entry ‘Li Chengliang’ on Baidu Encyclopedia states that it is one of Li Chengliang’s sons, which should be an error. Li Chengliang does not have “nine sons”, but five sons and four nephews.
, the five nephews are like pine, cypress, frame, camphor, and plum; the fourth nephew is like catalpa, wu, osmanthus, nan, and he even has "nephews" like geng, etc.]
Where did this kid Li Rugui die?
Kong Dongru suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, especially when he saw Gao Pingshi not saying a word, but with a smile on his face that seemed more and more weird the more he looked at it, his whole heart was hanging.
Oops, isn't this just trying to scare the monkeys? Li Rugui, Li Rugui, you just want to seek your own death, don't bring me down!
Kong Dongru's throat moved and his lips moved, but after struggling for a long time, he still couldn't speak.
There are two key reasons. One is that he doesn’t know where Li Rugui has gone. If he helps cover it up at will, if the secret is revealed in the future, it is simply his job as Gao Pragmatic, a soldier-preparation sage practitioner, to do so!
Secondly, he had just calmed down and felt that Gao Pragmatic would not do anything to Li Rugui - this is Liaodong after all, and it is easy to offend others, but it would be no joke to offend the Li family.
Although Gao Bingxian is young, he has the honor of being the number one scholar in six poems, and he has the merit of Annan and North in military affairs. He should be a person who knows the priorities, and he will not be unclear about the situation in Liaodong - Li Zongrong is from Liaodong.
Purple gold beams frame the sea and white jade pillars hold up the sky. How can the imperial court make him feel resentful? He
The 40,000 athletes under General Li are the most powerful team in the Ming Dynasty! Who dares to anger him?
Who dares?
"The time has come." Gao Pingshi spoke calmly and asked Kong Dongru: "Kong Canrong, who is the commander of the Fuzhou Guard?"
Although Kong Dongru had already determined in his heart that Gao Pragmatic would not do anything to Li Rugui, but now he was asking questions knowingly, Kong Dongru was still worried, but he did not dare not to answer, he could only swallow secretly, and said with a trembling voice: "Yes... yes
It’s Li Rugui.”
After saying this, You felt unsafe, so he added in a strange way: "Ah, he is Uncle Ning Yuan's nephew!"
When Gao Pragmatic heard this, he seemed a little shocked and asked: "Is this what Kong Canrong is serious about? Is he really Brother Ruqi's nephew?"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Kong Dongru did not hear the trap in Gao Wuxingshi, and only acted as Gao Wuxingshi, a military and military lord who had been a civil servant for too long, and did not pay much attention to his subordinate generals.
, actually really don’t know the origin of Li Rugui.
This made him relieved, and he thought to himself: Now you know his origin, and you also call Uncle Ning Yuan "Brother Ruqi". It seems that the friendship is not bad, so there must be no problem.
Now that he was relieved, Kong Dongru's expression looked much more natural, and he could even force out an ugly smile, nodded repeatedly, and replied: "Seriously, seriously, exactly, exactly."
Gao pragmatic seemed to be stunned for a moment, then he looked sad and said with a look of regret: "Unexpectedly, brother Ruqi has been a hero all his life, and all his sons are also extraordinary in martial arts, especially the eldest son Rusong, who has killed enemy chieftains before...
Who would have expected that a nephew like Li Rugui would even dare to discuss matters in the army without even attending to them? He is truly the only scoundrel in Brother Ruqi's family!"
Kong Dongru's mind exploded with a bang - why did you say that? What do you want to do?
Gao pragmatic seemed to know what he was thinking and answered him quickly.
"If you don't respond by calling your name, if you don't arrive when the time is called, if you fail to show up after the deadline, if you change the teacher's law, this is called a slow army, and the offenders will be killed." Gao Pingshi sighed softly, under the dull expressions of Kong Dongru and the three commanders.
, with a look of emotion on his face: "For the sake of Brother Ruqi's eternal reputation, it seems that I have to help him clean up his family today."
Kong Dongru was so shocked that he couldn't react until now. He stared blankly at Gao Pragmatic, who looked like he was "helping Brother Ruqi clean up his family" and didn't even say a word to stop him.
"Come here, issue the card in the name of this military constitution, and immediately take Li Rugui to Gaizhou for questioning!"
