The eunuch Zhu Gui arrived in Yangzhou City last night. After resting for a night, he came to the Tuanjian Mansion in the morning and prepared to read out the imperial edicts drawn by His Majesty the Emperor. However, General Li, the Tuanjian Mansion, had not come out for some reason.
Seeing him, Zhu Gui was very dissatisfied.
It would be fine if he didn't give him face, after all, he was just a eunuch. But he came to announce the imperial edict on this trip, which means that he was considered the first half of the imperial envoy. Isn't General Li disrespectful to His Majesty if he did this?
Zhu Gui became more and more annoyed the more he thought about it. He picked out the tea leaves stuffed between his teeth, snorted coldly, and said sarcastically: "Your General Li is really a noble status, and it is so difficult to come to meet the family. The family has served His Majesty for so many years.
, I have seen countless famous generals, but I have never seen a prominent figure like General Li."
Dou Qing, who was waiting on the side, quickly smiled and said, "Oh, Eunuch Zhu, look at what you said. Isn't my general busy with military affairs? He has been tired all night and has not washed up. It's probably not long before he will come over to see you!"
Dou Qing was very thoughtful after all. Seeing Zhu Gui picking up his figure and tone, he quickly handed over a basket of soft words, which temporarily suppressed Zhu Gui's anger. These eunuchs are the most unaffected! Don't look at their grades.
He has a low status, but he is the person around His Majesty. If he offended them, he will not say anything to him. He will say a few bad words to you every now and then, it will be enough for you to bear!
These eunuchs have incomplete physical limbs, so they have extremely erratic temperaments and often get angry because of unreasonable things. Don’t be serious about getting along with them, just take your time!
"It's not that the miscellaneous family is pretending to be a pretentious person, but General Li does this as a disobedience!" Seeing Dou Qing speak so well, Zhu Gui's anger faded a little and continued, "If you don't say anything, your general can do it.
Isn’t it still appreciated by the emperor today? As a human being, you can’t remember the benefactor when you get to the edge of the cliff!”
Zhu Guiqing pinched the tea cover and scraped the foam and said, "The family is a begging for food in the palace. What kind of people can be a big official? What kind of people are not popular? It's accurate to see it.
.Don’t believe it, sometimes it’s just an unintentional action that can change people’s voice.”
Although he was extremely impatient, Dou Qing still smiled and bowed, "Who said it was not? You still have to be more humble in life. To be honest, my general is the most kind, whether it is his soldiers or the circle.
None of the friends in the room admired it very much.”
"Hey, look, look, the miscellaneous people say you are wrong, it's not. The most important thing for an official is to judge the situation and seize the opportunity, and not ask you to pretend to be good people everywhere."
Zhu Gui posed and said, "Forget it, you won't understand even if you say so much to you. When your general comes, the Zajia will tell him personally. Tsk, what a good general seedling, the Zajia doesn't want to see him die so prematurely.
It's right."
Dou Qing was already very angry, hoping that this talkative eunuch would finish his order and get out soon.
At this moment, there were sounds of footsteps outside the flower hall. I think it must be Li Kuo.
"I'm going to die, I'm going to die!" Zhu Gui pinched the orchid finger and complained to Li Kuo repeatedly: "It's almost the twelfth lunar month, and the weather is getting colder and colder. The family has traveled thousands of miles from Chang'an City and has lasted for more than ten days.
When I arrived in Yangzhou City, the people were almost frozen into ice. General Li, you are so happy, just leave me alone."
As soon as Li Kuo walked outside the flower hall, he heard the conversation between Zhu Gui and Dou Qing. He smiled helplessly and said, "Eunuch Zhu is right. He was still resting just now, so he neglected his father-in-law. I hope he doesn't mind."
Zhu Gui didn't intend to make things difficult for Li Kuo. Seeing that Li Kuo had a good attitude and his tone slowed down. But he was exhausted all the way. If Li Kuo didn't let some blood be, I would be sorry for his almost shattered muscles and bones.
.
"I'll just say that General Li is a sensible person!" Zhu Gui pinched out a plain white towel from somewhere and shook it halfway in the air: "General Li, yes, the family has some hands recently."
Before he finished speaking, Li Kuo snatched a laugh and said, "My father-in-law came to Yangzhou to announce the imperial edict. Li was very grateful and had already prepared a small gift. I hope my father-in-law must accept it."
After saying that, he took a brocade box from Dou Qing and handed it to Zhu Gui.
When Zhu Gui saw Li Kuo go on the road like this, he was overjoyed and his eyes almost narrowed into a slit.
"Oh, oh, General Li, why bother, you? A middle-aged man from the family, can you use these things?" Although Zhu Gui said this, he had already snatched the brocade box and opened it.
"Hiss!" As soon as Zhu Guifang opened the brocade box, he was dazzled by a green light. It turned out that the brocade box was filled with a short-sized and excellent material. Zhu Gui served the emperor in the palace all day long. What's the matter?
I have never seen such rare objects before, but like today's Yu Ruyi, it is quite strange.
What's more, this piece of jade Ruyi was given to him, and it was given to him by Zhu Gui.
"General Li is so polite!" Zhu Gui was completely worried for a moment, and his eyes formed a crescent moon: "If you need help in the future, General Li said, you friend, you have made a fortune!"
"A mere little gift, it's good if Eunuch Zhu likes it." Li Kuo said slightly, "I heard that Eunuch Zhu came to Yangzhou to announce the imperial edict?"
"Hey, who said no? If it weren't for this, the miscellaneous family would be fine." Zhu Gui sighed and looked around. Seeing that the incense tables needed to be prepared for the order were all ready, he coughed a few times.
: "Or, the Zajia will read out Your Majesty's will first? In this way, you have a clue in your mind, and the Zajia will be considered to have completed the task."
"Please give me a favor!" Li Kuo bowed to Zhu Guiyan's arm and said with a smile.
"Cough cough!" Zhu Gui cleared his throat and suddenly said with a stern expression: "Jianghuai regiment commander, Shule Governor Li Kuo received the order!"
Li Kuo lifted up his robe and knelt on his knees when he heard this, saying, "My minister Li Kuo received the order!"
"The Hu thief Lushan rebelled, and the counties in Hebei surrendered. After a few days of out, the bandit army had already attacked the Eastern Capital. Now 200,000 bandit army besieged the Eastern Capital. I was very worried, so I sent Bi Sichen to the Eastern Capital Luoyang to recruit soldiers.
Defensively, in order to cooperate with Gao, the two generals were clever and good at making tricks. In order to ensure that the capital Chang'an was foolproof, he specially appointed the governor of Shule, and the Jianghuai delegation was appointed as the General Pinghu, and the Duke of Guarding the Kingdom, and ordered him to follow the order.
We will lead the soldiers of the Jianghuai Mansion to the capital to serve the king at night, and there must be no mistakes. I will respect this!"
The emperor's imperial edict contains the supreme majesty of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and there is no slightest doubt.
