A short letter of debt...no, a short letter of apology...no, a short letter of imperial edict contains a lot of information.
Outside the general's residence, the generals kneeling on the ground were confused.
This IOU, which was nominally an imperial edict rather than a warning but a bit apologetic and similar in format to a letter of commitment, made everyone aware of several issues.
First, the most obvious problem is that the emperor is indeed his mother issuing an IOU, and his tone is particularly humble, and it is written in the first person.
Second, Chu Qing, the Supervisor of the Three Roads and the Commander-in-Chief of the Qianqi Camp, actually... actually plundered tens of millions of dollars from the capital and went to the border to spread the money!
Thirdly, the emperor who was decisive and quick to ascend the throne seems to owe Chu Qing something. No, it’s not that he owes Chu Qing, but it just gives everyone a very strange feeling. This feeling is like King Langya shouting "Pestle Corpse, Pestle Corpse" while talking to Chu Qing.
The way she puts on a flattering smile is very...how should I put it, very cute, and this feeling is revealed in every word.
Confused, stunned, shocked, and then accepted.
Everyone suddenly felt that Chu Qing must have some serious illness in his head.
This is no longer the emperor's favorite. It's hard to get rid of anyone who favors anyone. Chu Qing, the "holy grace", still has 10 million yuan in his pocket. Why are you coming to the border to enjoy the blessings in the capital? It's just you and the emperor.
As for friendship, it is not difficult to be a duke of the country. If you are not mentally ill, you have to go to the border to suffer this crime, and you also go to the battle in person. What else is it if you are not sick?
Hu Xiao rolled up the imperial edict, looked at the many generals, and asked cautiously: "Master Chu, what kind of injury did you suffer?"
At this moment, Hu Xiao was extremely sure that Chu Qing's "injury" would determine his longevity.
Fu San walked over and grabbed the imperial edict: "Bring it to you."
Hu Xiao's face turned cold: "This imperial edict is for Lord Chu. Who are you, a coward..."
"My name is Fu San!"
"So you are the Third Master." Hu Xiao's face changed instantly, and then he took out ten silver notes from his arms and hurriedly handed them to Fu San.
A group of generals were dumbfounded.
They have heard of others giving money to eunuchs, but they have never heard of eunuchs who declare decrees taking the initiative to give money to others.
In fact, it was because the news from the border army was lagging behind, and it was also because Beijing and China did not pay much attention to it.
In today's capital, everyone from the courtiers to the traffickers and footmen doesn't know that Chu Qing, the leader of Qianqi Camp, has a loser named Fu San next to him.
It doesn't matter what this guy's name is. What's important is that Chu Qing once called this bitch named Fu San "Third Brother" on different occasions and in public. So everyone knows that these two people are as good as brothers.
Yes, it can be said that they are inseparable.
There were even rumors from the Qianqi Camp and the Ministry of War that whoever provoked Chu Qing might not die, but whoever provoked Fu San next to Chu Qing, Chu Qing would definitely let him die!
Moreover, the servants of all the wealthy families in Beijing, whether they are servants, nurses, maids, or housekeepers, all take Fu San as their role model and idol. Being a nurse as Fu San is basically the ceiling level in this field.
.
Fu San frowned and looked at Hu Xiao with squinting eyes: "It's just Shi Guan, who are you insulting?"
As soon as he stretched out his hand, Fu San took out a pile of banknotes from his sleeve, which must have amounted to hundreds of thousands.
The expressions of Ma Rujing and others did not reveal the slightest surprise.
Now even when Fusan took out a Pikachu from his sleeve, they were no longer surprised.
Hu Xiao's face was full of embarrassment, Fu San flicked the ten-guan banknote, but finally put it in his sleeve.
"Assuming you know the truth, my young master will be fine."
"Is this true?"
"I say no hindrance means no hindrance."
Hu Xiao felt relieved: "That's good, that's good."
A group of generals stood up, as if collectively realizing something, they suddenly turned their heads and looked at Xiao Zhi, who looked pale.
Xiao Zhi swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and his back was covered with cold sweat.
Among this group of generals and lieutenants, only one of them had offended Chu Qing, Xiao Zhi, and Ma Rujing.
Everyone knows the details of Xiao Zhi causing trouble in the Marshal's Mansion.
At first, everyone thought that Chu Qing was a bit sinister, and deliberately let Xiao Zhi point his sword at King Langya, which almost became a major crime against the Nine Clan.
Looking back now, everyone realizes that Chu Qing is so damn benevolent and righteous.
If Xiao Zhi had not pointed his sword at King Langya, but Chu Qing had puffed out his chest and waved it in front of the sword, and this matter had been reported back to the capital, Xiao Zhi would have definitely not survived for two months.
Even the "victim" Xiao Zhi suddenly realized that Chu Jianzheng was so damn righteous!
With this background, with this love for the emperor... No, with the emperor's favor for him, he only spanked himself for half a month, and only spanked a small amount for two days, a small amount for five days, and a large amount for five days. It was too righteous.
Everyone thinks that Xiao Zhi's luck is not pricked by a needle.
But the next second, everyone looked at Ma Rujing again.
Comrade Lao Ma has already begun to calculate in his mind.
Is my surname now spelled positive or negative?
If the character "horse" is written upside down so many times, it should be... 50-50.
At this moment, Ma Rujing also realized that there was something wrong with his mouth.
Now that I think about it, everything I said seems to have "worked", and it's so scary!
The identity of King Langya, Chu Qing’s money, IOUs, and the affairs of the mole, one after another...
Thinking of this, Ma Rujing looked slightly confused and muttered to himself with a bit of uncertainty.
"Before the end of this year, the Liang bandits must be wiped out. Otherwise, my surname, Ma Rujing..."
Ma Rujing looked at everyone, raised his eyebrows, and said with a bit of uncertainty in his tone: "Read it backwards?"
A group of generals nodded their heads like chickens pecking at rice.
Tian Hailong's face was filled with joy.
You can say something useful.
Hu Xiao looked at Fu San cautiously: "Third Master, I...Old slave, can I have a look at Mr. Chu?"
In fact, there is another thing that Hu Xiao heard about.
The little eunuch who was waiting in the Jingyi Hall every day told him that after the new year, the emperor no longer called Chu Qing Chu Qing or that boy or a bitch, but called him Lao Shi!
"I'm asleep. I haven't gotten up yet. I'll talk about it when I get up."
"Oh, okay, okay, I'm waiting at the door."
Fu San rolled his eyes: "Come in and wait."
Just like the true master of the Marshal's Mansion, Fu San Tuan Ba Tuan Ba Tuanba stuffed the imperial edict into his arms, returned to the outside of the main hall, and continued to sit on the threshold and wait patiently.
A group of generals would not dare to do this without Hu Xiao, the third brother. You must know that although eunuchs are slaves, they are slaves of the heavenly family. It is not a big deal to disrespect the eunuch who delivers the imperial edict.
Everyone quickly led Hu Xiao into the main hall, and Tian Hailong also poured tea himself.
After everyone sat down again, they felt a little embarrassed.
It was originally a celebration banquet. This was a rule and a tradition. No matter how many people died in the battle, although everyone was sad in their hearts, they had to force themselves to smile and gather together.
But now, the atmosphere is very awkward.
Everyone shut up and kept silent.
They were afraid that if they opened their mouths or made any noise, they would disturb Chu Qing in the bedroom in the backyard.
In the capital, tens of millions of coins were taken from various aristocratic families, but they were all thrown at the border and spent on the border troops. Regarding this matter, everyone felt that no matter how much they pampered Chu Qing, they could not do it too much.
It has nothing to do with Chu Wensheng, nothing to do with his official position, and nothing to do with the emperor. This one thing is enough to explain everything.
The reason why everyone admires Feng Luo is because Feng Shuaisheng donated all the Feng family's huge fortune to the frontier army, reducing a wealthy family to nothing.
Feng Luo would only toss one family, or his own, for up to two to three hundred thousand yuan.
Chu Qing was even more ruthless. He tormented dozens of families and managed to get ten million strings to the border.
Tian Hailong poured a cup of tea for Ma Rujing, who was still in a daze, and said with a mean smile: "Commander, I will finally accept your words. You are right every time you say it. It's amazing."
Ma Rujing was quite proud and was about to nod when he suddenly realized that he was not praising himself.
But if you shake your head, Comrade Lao Ma really feels that his criticism is brilliant.
Tian Hailong looked at everyone with a look of admiration on his face: "Master Chu is also very powerful. He can manage people's livelihood with literary skills and kill enemies with military skills. He is indeed a general."
When Chu Qing was praised, everyone immediately agreed with him.
Niu Ren was the first to express his agreement: "I saw more than three thousand Liang bandits last night. I didn't care about luring the enemy in deep, so I could only take action outside the mountains and forests in advance. The time, place and people were favorable, so I didn't take advantage of them. I originally wanted to fight with them."
Erlang died on the battlefield, who would have thought that not only was Chu Jianzheng on that slope, but he also dared to lead his followers around behind Anatu and attack Huanglong. If not, hey, I would go back to camp and owe Chu Jianzheng
A huge favor.”
Zhang Chengxiao also smiled bitterly and said: "In the beginning, I also saw that Chu Jianzheng was unhappy and very domineering, but he had the capital to be domineering. This Wangyuan City changes day by day, all because of Chu Jianzheng."
"That's right, there is also a medical clinic outside our military camp. The doctors have also gone there. They can treat the soldiers tomorrow."
"Those grains and grass were sent by Mr. Chu's order..."
"It is said that there are actors in the city and they will go to the camp to sing in the next few days..."
A group of people looked at each other with compliments and praised Chu Qing as if they were omnipotent.
Comrade Lao Ma was unhappy again and said angrily: "Look at what you are saying, as if he is a god."
Tian Hailong smiled and said: "I'm not a god, but Sai Shenxian has done everything he said and didn't say."
"Ha." Ma Rujing sneered again and again: "He also said that he would find two hundred veteran wolf hunters within thirty days. Did he do it? Isn't it the same thing that he praised Haikou but disappeared?"
"Hey, Marshal, don't tell me. Mr. Chu is in charge of the Thousand Cavalry Camp and has good relations with the Ministry of War. He might actually be able to find him."
"How can he find an old soldier who has taken off his armor? How can he join the army again? If he can come back, why should he take off his armor? If he can find it, my surname, Ma Rujing..."
A soldier ran in in a hurry, with excitement on his face: "Commander, two hundred soldiers came from the south gate, and they turned out to be... the warriors of the wolf-catching army back then. They said they were looking for Lord Chu!"
Everyone was stunned again, looking at Ma Rujing blankly, with their mouths wide open.
Zhongzhou's number one divine prophet, if anyone is not an old horse, these generals will have to fight hard.
Ma Rujing was stunned for only a moment, then he lowered his head suddenly, closed his eyes tightly, clenched his fists and muttered to himself, speaking very fast.
"Before the new year comes, the cool thieves will be destroyed. Before the new year comes, the cool thieves will be destroyed. Before the new year comes, the cool thieves will be destroyed..."
Tian Hailong reminded: "Commander, you must add your last name."
"Yes, yes, yes, that's right."
Ma Rujing was very nervous and started mumbling to himself again.
"Before the end of the year, if the Liang thief will not be exterminated, my Ma Rujing's surname will be reversed. Before the end of the year, if the Liang thief will not be exterminated, my surname, Ma Rujing, will be reversed."
The other generals were dumbfounded and felt that Ma Rujing was possessed by a demon.
The two sides have been fighting for more than a hundred years, and they will be destroyed at any time. Even if you predict it, it will never come true. It is too fantastic.
After reciting it four or five times, Ma Rujing finally opened his eyes, let out a big breath, and then suddenly became happy.
"Hey, if the Liang bandits are really eradicated before the New Year, wouldn't it be all thanks to my commander, hahahahaha."
