Chapter 653: The Ambition of the Old Man and the Son of Heaven
Xu Xun was not interested in watching Qian Ning's death, but when he listened to Li Yifeng's report on the execution ground in front of the emperor, he naturally had no good impression of Shang Fenfen, the former top leader, so he naturally had to add a sentence in an understatement. ◎Smart
Children remember to type updates quickly. ◎After all, he had heard that Qian Ning once confessed that this woman had been bribed by people in Prince Ning's palace when she was in Nanchang, and threatened her to obey her orders. He would not believe it if she was threatened, but Shang Fenfen
It's not surprising that such a scheming woman who lives in pleasure circles hooked up with people from Prince Ning's Palace when she was in Nanchang Palace.
In the past, because of Qian Ning's wealth and wealth, Prince Ning's palace would seduce her, and it was also because of Qian Ning's power. But now she was sentenced to exile in Liaodong, which was not a heavy sentence, but she cursed her husband in the execution ground. If such a woman
If not, who should die?
Such a small episode was forgotten in his mind for a moment. Because Zhang Zong, who finally returned from successfully suppressing the bandits, said that Xu Yanche and Qi Jiliang were what he paid more attention to, not to mention the two behind-the-scenes heroes Cao Qian and Jiang Bin. , Ma Qiao, the intelligence chief, and Liu Liu and Liu Qi, two outstanding contributors. In the later period, it was more about training troops than suppressing bandits. Although the current vanguard of the government army is somewhat damaged, it is worse than those in the past. The young army, which only had elite equipment, now even has a different spirit.
Therefore, when the ministers and ministers were discussing meritorious deeds and rewards, he, who was present under the order, just said one sentence lightly when everyone was clamoring for praise: "The vanguard of the government army was when the late emperor was still alive. According to the Xuan Temple or the emperor,
It was an old system in Taisun's time. It was a personal guard with swords prepared for the emperor who was still in the East Palace at that time. My lords, please don't treat them lightly."
Everyone has learned about the little emperor's protective nature for a long time. In addition, this time it was indeed a genuine success in suppressing the bandits, and there was no such thing as killing people to take credit. Zhang Zong said he was a noble son, and Xu Yanche was an honorable minister. After Qi Jiliang
He is the son of a princess. The three of them are all representatives of the top circles of the Ming Dynasty. As for others such as Cao Qian, Jiang Bin and Maqiao, if any one of them has less merit, it is difficult to guarantee that Xu Xun will cause trouble. So, they discussed it for more than half an hour.
Later, when the imperial edict came from the palace and Zhang Zong said that he would be given the title of Commander of the Imperial Guard, no matter how stubborn the minister was, he had to come up with a large-scale promotion plan for military positions.
Even Liu Liu and Liu Qi got benefits that made them overjoyed. Not only did their son's job in the Imperial Academy become vacant, but they themselves also got the title of fourth-rank commander. Although it was not a secular position, they were more
They valued their son's ability to read and become a real local wealthy family. In addition, their backer Xu Xun was promoted from the original earl to the Duke of the country. They were too late to be happy. How could there be any dissatisfaction?
On the day when the prisoners were presented, a large number of tied-up people were escorted barefoot in front of the Meridian Gate. During the suppression of bandits, which lasted for more than a year, the bandits in southern Ji were sometimes using tricks, sometimes using time, sometimes making noises, and sometimes attacking the west.
After repeated operations, coupled with the internal force that quickly grew stronger after being eaten by Liu Liu and Liu Qi, they were finally defeated separately. Even though some people tried their best to escape, except Yang Hu, who was seriously injured and was taken away by Bai Ying.
, the other important figures were either dead or captured. At this moment, those being escorted and kneeling under the bridge were all once figures of one party.
There are also inconsequential minions strung together by ropes further away. Among them, a person stares at the Meridian Gate with hatred, but no matter how hard he uses his eyesight, he still
He could only see the dark backs of the ministers. He couldn't see the person he wanted to see, nor could he clearly see the emperor who ruled the world. His family was ruined and he had accomplished nothing. He was taken away from Jiao Mansion and sent back to Prince Ning's Mansion. He tried every means to escape but fell into
After being called Xiaobai for many years, he almost forgot his real name.
Fan Zi Wu and his gang, who had made him suffer so much humiliation, were wiped out, and fell into the hands of Da Dao Feng and his gang. He originally just wanted to swallow his anger and escape temporarily, but who would have expected that it turned out to be Xu Xun's secret clue to insert himself into the gangster's den. He escaped.
He came out and planned to destroy Xu Xun's chess piece, but none of those damn green forest bandits believed him. Even if he cruelly cut off three fingers on his left hand to make them believe it, it was already too late, and finally let him
He became a prisoner of war. Now standing in front of the palace, he took a deep breath, and then roared out at the top of his lungs.
"Xu Xun, you bastard who pretended to be Xun's father, you will die a good death!"
Before he could roar a second time, someone from the Jinyi guards who were escorting them suddenly jumped out and gave him a heavy blow to the chest. For a moment, his knees weakened and he fell heavily to the ground. He only felt the pain in his throat.
There was a sweet feeling, and he couldn't say a word. He struggled to get up, but unexpectedly someone slashed twice on the rope in front of and behind him, dragged him out, and gave him a heavy blow on the back.
Shoot. Before his eyes went dark and he fainted, he vaguely heard someone say something cold.
"Continue to string together the two people before and after him, and take him back first! Fortunately, the noise is not loud, otherwise you will not suffer any consequences if we pursue him!"
This accident only disturbed the captives who had given up hope for a while, but did not cause any bigger disturbance. After all, Xu Liang was famous in the capital for remembering his late wife and loving his only son, even if someone heard this incident.
I don’t believe the rumors at all. After all, if Xu Liang was not his biological son, Xu Liang would have already married and kept a daughter. How could he be single now and plan to remain single for the rest of his life?
The day after everyone returned from the palace after being rewarded with promotions, Xu Xun invited the emperor to hold a banquet at the Xiyuan martial arts arena in the palace. It turned out that everyone from soldiers to officers was there. When he saw Luan Jiaxiao from a distance
When he came, he could only hear the sound of "Long Live Long Live" coming like a roaring mountain and a tsunami, which made Zhu Houzhao, who was sitting in the royal chariot, blush for a moment. Even so, when the sound stopped, he still
He whispered to Xu Xun on the side: "If one day, I can fight the enemy side by side with them, then they will be truly recognized as the emperor's personal guards! Xu Xun, I still remember facing him on the wall of Nanchang.
That moment when King Ning gathered his army...really, that moment was different from any other time."
Seeing the deep sadness in the little emperor's eyes, Xu Xun knew who and what Zhu Houzhao was most likely thinking of at this moment, and it would be better for him not to say anything at this moment, so he naturally remained silent.
When Zhu Houzhao came to stand on the high platform of the martial arts field, the strong wind rustled the mysterious cloak he was wearing. After being silent for a long time, he suddenly lifted up the cloak and said loudly: "
There is no emperor today, I only wish to congratulate you all for your meritorious service!"
Although they had already entered the palace yesterday and kowtowed to everyone when receiving the reward, from such a long distance, even if Liu Liu and Liu Qi were good archers and horses, they had to see clearly the person sitting on the throne of Fengtian Palace.
Zhu Houzhao was still unable to do anything. Today, they in the front row took a good look at the righteous emperor for the first time. At this moment, when they heard this simple sentence, they couldn't help but feel their hearts burning.
He got carried away and shouted long live together with the others.
Zhu Houzhao did what he said, and without any lengthy etiquette, he directly ordered people to serve wine and food. Soon after, he ordered a waiter to hold a wine jar behind him, and he pulled Xu Xun over to the table. At first, he drank one cup after another.
But later, after Xu Xun persuaded him, he found that the banquet was held until past the Leopard Room. If he drank like this, he would be drunk to death and would not even think of finishing it, so he just took a walk. Even so, when he walked all the way from the beginning
At the end of the day, he still walked from noon to past Shenshi. The drunkenness and excitement made him forget the fatigue on his body, and he actually dragged Xu Xun all the way to Huanxiang Bridge near Taiye Pond.
"I have thought about it. When I have established the crown prince and there is peace in the country, I must learn from Emperor Taizong and personally conquer Mongolia to make those Tatars dare not invade the border! The emperor guards the gate of the country. I have now understood this.
Keeping a character does not mean staying in the capital without moving. You have to go out when it is time to go out! If I hadn't gone to Jiangnan and Jiangxi this time, I wouldn't have known that this prosperous age had become like this... Taizong went to the north several times, and Xuan
The temple also went through the Northern Expedition and personally patrolled the border to repel the Ulyanha people. Although the Yingmiao earthen fortress was defeated, it still had the courage... We cannot stop eating because of the sudden defeat of the Yingmiao!"
When Xu Xun heard the words "cannot eat because of choking", he immediately said thoughtfully: "But before the emperor went to Jiangxi, just a few people knew about it and already jumped the gun. If he wants to go on a personal expedition in the future, the officials will definitely oppose it. Doesn't the emperor have some ideas?"
Any countermeasures?"
"Of course!" Zhu Houzhao immediately puffed up his chest and said with a smile, "If I were not an emperor, but Commander-in-Chief Zhu Shou, wouldn't this fight be justified?" Seeing Xu Xun's jaw-dropping, he immediately burst out laughing.
He couldn't help but said angrily, "Don't laugh, you won't be able to escape when the time comes. Now that everyone knows your reputation, I will change your name later and give you the title of Deputy Commander Dangdang. What do you want?"
There is no way to hide and relax in the capital!"
The monarch and his ministers looked at each other, and finally looked at the Long Live Mountain on Qionghua Island overlooking the palace city.
When Xu Xun, who was deeply drunk, left the palace from Xi'an Gate, he saw Li Yifeng coming up to him quickly. He supported the head of Jinyiwei who was about to salute with one hand, and then asked with a smile: "You
Are you waiting for someone?"
"My humble position means waiting for the Duke of the country."
"Talk in the car."
After getting in the car and sitting down, Li Yifeng's face changed slightly for a while, and then he said: "Have you heard the rumors outside, that during the sacrifice of prisoners and victory, someone was talking crazy words outside the Meridian Gate, criticizing the country?
My father-in-law pretended to be my father back then?"
As soon as these words came out, Xu Xun raised his eyebrows thoughtfully, and then said nonchalantly: "I heard that, but since it was your Jin Yiwei who took the person away, who was the mastermind?"
"I was afraid that this man was talking nonsense, so I went to interrogate him personally, and he confessed that..." After a moment of hesitation, Li Yifeng said in a very low voice, "He confessed that he is the eldest son of the Xu family in Taiping.
