Chapter 528 The rain keeps falling, the atmosphere is not harmonious

Chapter 528: The rain has been falling, and the atmosphere is not harmonious

The generals stopped him repeatedly, but Qin Lei said hard: "If the people of the world know that the emperor is in danger and does not go to save him, who would have been following me?" He got stuck back.

Two quarters of an hour later, the cavalry units of the Black-Clothed Guard, the Black-Armored Cavalry and the Third Division of the Jingshan Army were ready to go.

Qin Lei also rode a pure black high-headed war horse, running from the end of the team to the head of the team in the rain. Every time a team of knights passed, it would attract the soldiers to shout with all their might. The sound became louder and louder, deafening, sweeping away the decadence brought by the rain.

Stalking the reins of the horse, Qin Lei's majestic gaze swept over the loyal officers and soldiers, and shouted: "Today's mission is quite special, I have to pick people!" As he said that, he shook the horse whip and said: "The only son in the family is one step forward!" Then eighty or ninety soldiers stood up.

"Brothers are all in the army, fathers and sons are all in the army, one of them stands out for each family!" This time it took a long time, and it took a while for the commotion to stop, and more than a hundred stands out.

"All those who stand out leave the team and go to the left." Qin Lei continued to order.

Although I didn't know what the prince was going to do, the soldiers of Jingshan Army who had enforced the order immediately did as they did.

After those people left, Qin Lei said in a deep voice: "Why is the mission special? It is because from a tactical point of view, this is a stupid action, but the Lone King cannot do it." As he said, the horse whip pointed to the north and said: "There is the Lone King and the Father and the Father and the Father and Son. Whether it is the way of the king and the ministers, or the father and son, Lone must go! Even if the moths flew into the fire, they must do it!"

"But you can choose to stay." patted his helmet, Qin Lei said in a deep voice: "You can reject this stupid order!"

The rain kept falling, the atmosphere was silent and solemn, and the soldiers remained motionless, and none of them left.

"I am sincere," Qin Lei said word by word: "You can withdraw, it complies with the Jingshan military rules."

"But we have already sworn to follow the prince forever!" A crowd shouted: "Die for you, die for the sake of death!" A stone caused a thousand waves, and this immediately attracted the soldiers to respond in unison: "It's so good!"

"Brothers love so much," Qin Lei laughed excitedly and said, "I'm so pretentious! Then come with me!" After that, he whipped hard, whipping the war horse whistling, and rushed out.

The soldiers followed closely, and countless horse hooves rose and fell in the rain, splashing countless water splashes.

Rejecting the time a day ago, when His Majesty the Emperor thought it was too long to delay on the road. When he heard that Qin Lei had not crossed the river, he ordered the army not to be stingy with horsepower and quickly arrive at Makino City before resting.

Several generals quickly explained: "Enemy country is a battlefield. No matter whether you can see the enemy's traces, you must maintain enough physical strength to cope with sudden changes in the situation."

But Emperor Zhaowu disagreed with this reason. He scolded the generals and said, "It is said that war horses can travel a hundred miles a day. Now I only let you walk half of the journey. Do you still have to refuse?"

The Taiwei Li, who had originally made up his mind to be a clay sculpture, did not dare to let the emperor do it, so he had to come out and explain: "Your Majesty calmed down his anger. The war horse can produce wind with four hooves, and traveled a hundred miles a day, which was beyond the reach of the world, but its recovery ability was not as good as that of ordinary soldiers. After running for one day, it would take three to five days of recovery period. If you force it to urge during this period, not only will it not be able to run away in diversity, but it will also die in a large number of people... It is not worth the loss, Your Majesty!"

His Majesty Emperor Shizong Lie gave in, but in order not to lose face, he ordered the army to speed up and arrive at Makino City within at least two days.

The generals had to try their best to urge the soldiers to leave quickly. When they were camping at night, they had indeed walked ten miles more than normal, but they were also tired. The Qin soldiers were tired. It was because of the snoring sounds in the night camp, and many people didn't even feel it rained.

Emperor Zhaowu was quite energetic. He rode the carriage offered by Zhou Lianben, the chief assistant of the dynasty. In addition to the common points of expensive materials and exquisite workmanship, the biggest one was that it was the largest sedan in the world. The practical area alone must be seventy or eighty square meters, which is equivalent to a two-bedroom apartment a thousand years later.

Such a large space naturally needs to be used separately. The front part is His Majesty's imperial study room, which can be used by Emperor Shizonglie to review memorials and receive ministers; the latter part is in the bedroom, with a large bed, but His Majesty the Emperor is over the age of interested in that matter, so most of the space is wasted. There is also a luxurious bathroom in a corner of the bedroom, which contains golden painted toilets, dried dates, petals, white silk, clear water, and fragrant pancreas. It is His Majesty's favorite.

What’s even more nonsense is that this sedan chair actually has a carved attic made of jade. When the beloved Emperor is tired of work, he can climb up the study and go to the second floor to look out at the railing, drinking and writing poems. Isn’t it fun?

It is said that "a good horse is equipped with a good saddle, and a good car is equipped with a general manager." When the hardware is raised, the software service will naturally follow. The entire palace seems to be in the palace, with eight palace maids and eunuchs, taking turns to take turns to eat, drink, defecate, and sleeping. The service is thoughtful and decent, giving the emperor a feeling of being in the palace.

Of course, there are advantages and disadvantages. This small building, oh no, the sedan chair is too big and too bulky... In fact, it is most suitable to install a wheel and use a nine-headed cow to pull it. But besides the local bun, Qin Lei, who has the Luanyu King's car that has wheels?

The road conditions were not good in this era, and the wheels were also made of wood and iron. It was better to have a flat bluestone Avenue in Beijing, but once you left the capital, it was so shattering. It would be impossible to shake the delicate bodies of the nobles of the heavenly beings.

So everyone uses people to carry it. Although the speed is limited, the victory is to be steady! Now we have to catch up with the marching speed, so we can only use more people to carry it... The sixty-four sedan chair bearers are not discounted.

By the way, it would take a little effort to transport such a big thing across the Yellow River...

After taking a hot bath, Emperor Emperor changed into a comfortable nightgown and sat down in the warm study room as warm as spring. First, drink a cup of thick ginseng soup, and then rinse his mouth with tea. Emperor Zhaowu then said slowly: "Have you reported from Beijing?"

The old eunuch Zhuo Yan had been waiting for a long time, and he heard this and said in a soft voice: "It's here." He bent down and placed the stack of memorials and documents in his hand respectfully in front of the emperor.

After picking up a book, Emperor Zhaowu quickly browsed it. He lit up twenty-eight palace lanterns in the "study room". Even the old and dizzy Emperor Lie could see the memorial clearly.

"Oh, Zhou Lianben personally went to impeach Tian Minnong, and even the third brother got involved?" Emperor Zhaowu's narrow eyes flashed. Compared to watching the flowers in the military fog, he was as insightful as seeing these intriguing court battles, and he could see them at a glance: "It would be fine if Tian Minnong could be taken down, but don't be slapped by Jingshan..."

In front of his number one confidant, he no longer concealed his concerns about the Qinlei group... In Emperor Zhaowu's heart, his number one enemy was no longer the yellow-looking Taiwei Li, but replaced by Qin Yutian, who was ambitious. He believed that there were at least three Grand Secretarys in the court, and five Shangshu were Qinlei's lackeys or allies.

It is not unreasonable for the emperor to think this way, because since last year, he had tried to move a senior official like Shangshu and Grand Secretary several times. However, he was shocked to find that these people were advancing and retreating together. In addition, his disciples of the same year, these people hugged each other in a large group to fight against the seemingly inviolable imperial power... Although Emperor Zhaowu really wanted to destroy all these people into the eighteen levels of hell, the Qin Dynasty still needed these people to manage, especially at the critical moment of the Qin and Qi war. If these people were discouraged, they would have to be in chaos.

Therefore, His Majesty the Emperor firmly believes that these people are a party, and the one who supports them behind them is Qin Yutian, who seems to be loyal but actually heartless. A new generation of powerful ministers who have military power, supported by all officials, and occupy the image of Jingshan City, immediately stood high in front of His Majesty the Emperor... Although in the eyes of the common people and gentry, they are father and son, and Qin Lei is also half a king. But in the eyes of Emperor Zhaowu, there is only one authority in this world, that is himself, and all similar authority will be eradicated, even if this person is his own son.

Therefore, His Majesty the Emperor planned to send Qin Lei to Nan Chu, hoping that the monarch and ministers of the Southern Chu could keep this disaster. But he took it for granted. In the eyes of the monarch and ministers of the Chu State, the great disaster of Qin was a good helper of the State of Chu, so Qin Lei was back...

In fact, the emperor didn't know that even Qin Lei could not control this terrible civil servant group, but Qin Lei would never tell him that he was like... As His Majesty's "thorn in his eyes and thorn in his flesh", Qin Lei must use all means to make His Majesty be afraid of him. Once the emperor recognizes his fragile nature, he is likely to be pulled out by him with brute force.

Later, for the upcoming war, the two sides temporarily stopped the fight. However, the idea of ​​eliminating the Jingshan Sect Group will not disappear, and will emerge again as long as there is a suitable opportunity.

To everyone's expectations, this Eastern Expedition achieved a great success that had not been seen in a century, and His Majesty's personal prestige reached the highest point in history. His heart, which was "life never ends, struggle never ends", began to move again... He wanted to take advantage of this great rise in reputation, take advantage of the situation to take advantage of the situation to remove several cabinet ministers and ministers, and severely attack the strength of the Jingshan Sect.

Before the emperor could instruct, Zhou Lianbin and Qin Lin had already understood and began a reckless counterattack... From July to August, nearly a hundred officials had already finished class and rested, including three great figures, Gongshu Company, Minister of Works, Minister of Rites, Li Guangyuan, and Grand Secretary Wang Anting. Their arrogance was fully demonstrated.

When the "Civil Official Group" was temporarily tolerant to taking care of the overall situation, the Zhou and Qin people became even more arrogant. This time they pointed the finger at Tian Minnong, the leader of the officials in the court... Tian Minnong was a Beijing official for decades, and even became the Minister of the Shang Dynasty during the reign of the late emperor. His qualifications were definitely not comparable to those of others.

"As long as you can press this old thing down, then kill Qu Yanwu," Emperor Zhaowu said with longing: "The Jingshan Sect in the court will scatter with trees." As he said that, he couldn't help but giggle.

With the emperor laughing for a while, Eunuch Zhuo said worryingly: "Your Majesty relies on Zhou Zhongtang to destroy the Jingshan Sect. Are you not afraid that he will take advantage of the situation and become the next 'title'?" He said in a low voice and said, "Spy here to report that this person is arrogant and has formed a clique for personal gain, and is not someone worth entrusting..."

Emperor Zhaowu put the memorial down, picked up the ginseng soup and took a sip, and smiled and said, "How could I not know what Zhou Lianben is?" As he said that, he took out a stack of memorials from the drawer, and said, "This is a memorial to impeach him for corruption and abuse of power in his tenure as governor, and torture people's lives and engage in corruption. It is reasonable and evidence-confirmed and cannot be refuted!"

"Why is Your Majesty?" Zhuo Yan immediately understood the emperor's intention, but in order to take care of his interests, he had to act like a foolish look.

With a proud smile, Emperor Zhaowu said leisurely: "If I want to use him, I will naturally have to hold these memorials and save him; but I will not use him in the future. This is the killing knife..." After saying that, he burst into laughter, obviously very satisfied with his plan.

Zhuo Yan naturally flattered and said something like a tide. The emperor smiled for a while before he continued to read. What followed was nothing more than some conventional memorials. Although it was a national event, he was too lazy to investigate in the marching and war. He read it aside and then put it aside.

I soon saw the last thing, which was a letter. The signature was the Empress Dowager. His heart was slapped for no reason. When he saw the content on the letter clearly, his hands trembled in disobedience...
