When Feng Ziying was "hijacked" by a group of warriors and approached Fengtian Hall, she immediately saw Gu Bingqian, Tang Binyin, and Miao Changqi who were at their most visible.
These three people have all served as cabinet ministers, and Gu Bingqian has even served as the chief minister. At this time, he stood there with high spirits, in sharp contrast to Cui Jingrong, Chai Ke and Xu Guangqi who were still a little embarrassed and hesitant.
Mao Chenglu, Geng Jimao and others also saw the clues at a glance.
Regarding these civil servants, all the military officials had a blank look and did not recognize any of them. Except for Sun Chengzong, the Minister of the Ministry of War, Xiong Tingbi and Yuan Keli, the left and right ministers, Mao Chenglu had seen them from a distance. How could they know the other civil servants?
However, Gu Bingqian, Tang Binyin and Miao Changqi stood at the door of the palace with their heads held high without avoiding suspicion. Mao Chenglu and others thought that these were the remaining three pavilion elders, Cui Chaixu and Cui Chaixu. Instead, Cui Chaixu and others stood there.
On the other side, Mao Chenglu and others were not noticed.
"But the three pavilion elders?" Mao Chenglu was also riding a tiger and couldn't get off at this time. He hugged Feng Ziying and went directly to the entrance of the palace. A group of sergeants guarded him and pushed aside the civil servants. Mao Chenglu then made a bow and said, "General Mao Chenglu is polite. Today
It happened suddenly. If I offend you, please forgive me. But it has to be done out of necessity. You all must know why so many of us brothers are here. We are all rough people and we don’t go around in circles, including everyone here.
, Now that we have arrived at Fengtian Hall today, if things are done well, everyone will be happy, but if things are not done well, we have lost thousands of humble lives in exchange for the precious lives of a few adults, and we think it is worth it, so let me say something here first.
Sorry, I have to feel sorry for you all today!"
This was half true and half false, half apology and half threat. It was said in a soft and yet tough tone, but it actually seemed like he was ready to play havoc with his life, which was in line with the image of a desperado in the minds of civil servants.
Everyone's eyes fell on Mao Chenglu, and Mao Chenglu couldn't help but have a layer of white hair sweat on his back.
"Mao Chenglu, you are so brave! You actually dare to kidnap the chief minister! Now you have brought all these ministers here, what do you want?" Han Xu was the first to attack, stood up and said angrily.
Mao Chenglu's eyes were like daggers, and he glanced at Han Xu with a serious look: "Old man, who are you?"
"I am Han Xu, the censor of Zuodu of the Imperial Procuratorate!" Han Xu was furious. He did not expect this rough man to be so rough and arrogant.
"Haha, the Censor Zuodu of the Metropolitan Procuratorate is such a big official. Do you think that at this point, I will care about you bunch of dog-like censors?"
Mao Chenglu had risked everything at this time, and the brothers were all looking at him. If he gave up at this time, there would be no need to continue the drama below.
"Damn it, where were you when we were drinking ice and snow on the border, eating food that even dogs wouldn't eat, and fighting for our lives against the Jurchens in Jianzhou? Holding our beautiful wives and concubines, lying on the hot bed, drinking and having fun? We and Mongolia
Where were you when people were chasing and fighting on the grassland? Are you watching a show and eating tea in a teahouse or restaurant? Who cares about our life, hunger, food, clothing, and warmth? At this time, tell me whether I am brave enough? Tell me whether I am brave enough.
?”
Mao Chenglu's eyes flashed fiercely and his face was ferocious. He tapped Han Xu lightly with his finger, and dozens of soldiers behind him aimed their guns in an uproar. "Do you believe it or not, with just one order from me, you can turn into a hornet's nest?! Maybe you can I really think you can become famous in history like this, then I will make it happen for you!"
Hearing the uniform sound of the soldiers aiming their guns, the civil servants standing around Han Xu subconsciously felt a chill, and some even simply took a few steps to the side to avoid being harmed by the fish in the pond. On the contrary, Sun Juxianghe Although the Sun Dingxiang brothers looked pale, they still persisted and did not escape.
Although Han Xu was also shocked by the other party's boldness, he was not intimidated by it: "The imperial court spent countless food and money for your border troops, but you generals who drink the blood of soldiers are here talking shamelessly about drinking ice and sleeping in the snow. ,…”
There was obviously some provocation in these words, and Mao Chenglu couldn't help laughing.
"Old dog Han, do you think you can make my brothers below me dissatisfied with me like this? Let me tell you, is the man named Mao in Dongjiang and Liaodong a person who drinks the blood of soldiers? Does he fight bloody battles with the Jurchens with his brothers? These brothers know better than anyone else, how can you provoke such a little trick? If I, Mao Chenglu, were that kind of person, how could I dare to be recommended by my brothers to come to this capital city? If you really want to seek death, then I really I’ll make it happen for you!”
Mao Chenglu suddenly raised his voice and waved his hand downwards.
The whole place suddenly recalled countless screams and cries of restraint.
"Commander Mao, don't act recklessly!"
"Chenglu, don't mess around!"
In desperation, Sun Chengzong hurriedly walked out, stood in front of Han Xu, and said sternly: "General Mao, don't make a mistake! If you really want to kill like this, you will become the number one sinner of the Zhou Dynasty!"
Mao Chenglu's eyes narrowed, "Master Sun, I respect you to show some affection for our frontier army, and I don't want to embarrass you. However, this affection has also changed with the actions of these people in front of me to lay off 400,000 from our one-million-strong frontier army." There is not a trace left to offset it! No matter who it is, if it wants to ruin the livelihood of hundreds of thousands of our border army brothers, then we will never agree, that is to make enemies of our border army, and the result will be a mantis trying to defeat the chariot, and there will only be one death!"
Han Xu was not afraid and sneered: "Haha, let me tell you this, you frontier troops are going to become the former Tang Dynasty vassal town. You are doing whatever you want, and Tai'a is against it and rebelling against the imperial court? Isn't this kind of army a thief of the country? bandit?"
"Thieves of the country? You old thief, how dare you slander our border army brothers who fought bloody battles on the border?" Mao Chenglu became more fierce and took a step forward: "It is just thieves of the country like you who run rampant in the court, block the way of speech, and harm the country and the people. Our border army brothers have been forced to have no way out. If we don’t kill this beast today, how can we be worthy of the hundreds of thousands of border army brothers? Someone, drag this old dog to the front of the palace and shoot him!"
More than a dozen wolf-like soldiers immediately swarmed in to drag Han Xu out, and several soldiers even pretended to line up and hold their guns, pretending to kill the Zuo Du of the Imperial Inspectorate in front of everyone. The censor's direct execution style frightened everyone around him into shouting: "Save someone under the knife!"
"useless!"
"General Mao, don't do this!"
"Why do you do this? You can't do it, you can't do it!"
Feng Ziying tried his best to make his facial expression serious and a little worried, but the slightly exaggerated expressions of Mao Chenglu and his soldiers really made him laugh until his stomach hurt.
I don’t know how Wang Ziteng, Niu Jizong and their father hooked up with Mao Chenglu during this period and created such a staged photo. They clearly wanted to roast Han Sun and others on the fire and use this method to destroy each other.
