Chapter Twenty-One: The Gawking Expedited Paperwork
"Let him in."
Since he knew in his heart that it was someone sent by His Majesty, Wu Sangui would not dare to neglect him no matter how courageous he was. Moreover, since this Jin Yiwei brought eight hundred miles of urgent documents, there must be something big going on. I don't know if it is a good thing or a bad thing.
However, the arrival of this Jin Yiwei also made him sweat for the capital. If it was really related to the safety of the capital, even if one person and two horses rushed here day and night, it would take a day and a half. Then this day and a half
Is the capital still safe under the attack of the intruders? If it is captured, but this document orders me to speed up the march, isn't it all in vain?
That’s all, let’s take a good look at what His Majesty’s urgent document says, and it’s not too late to make a decision.
The other three general soldiers also stepped aside to make way for this Jin Yiwei.
"General, I'm afraid that brother won't be able to come in." The ordering soldier felt that he had not explained clearly just now, causing the general to misunderstand him, which was a bit embarrassing.
"Why?"
Do you want me to go out to greet you in person? What a grand ceremony! A mere imperial guard is so wealthy. If I arrive in the capital, and see a high-ranking sesame official on the street, do I have to kneel down and salute?
"This brother is unconscious now. When we found him, he had already passed out on the road." As if feeling the change in the general's face, the messenger hurriedly lowered his head and said.
"What?" Wu Sangui thought it was because of the grandeur of this Jin Yiwei, but he didn't expect that he actually fainted? I'm afraid something big happened in the capital, otherwise it would never be possible for a Jin Yiwei to rush over here at all costs.
"lead the way!"
Wu Sangui was also panicked in his heart. Although he did have some connections with Jianu Dorgon in private, his heart was still more towards the Ming Dynasty. His Majesty was alive and the Ming Dynasty still existed. How could he have the idea of treason against the Ming Dynasty?
Following the messenger, he quickly arrived at a tent, opened the curtain and walked in. The guard in golden clothes was lying inside at the moment, with a doctor beside him carefully treating him.
But looking at his pale face, almost split lips, and swollen body, Wu Sangui, who has many years of marching experience, probably knew about his condition, and he admired the perseverance of this Jin Yiwei. This symptom was clearly caused by not drinking water for a long time.
After traveling all the way, I rode my horse to get here.
Sighing, he also saw the urgent document beside him and reached out to pick it up.
The three general soldiers behind him also quickly gathered around, vying to take a first look at what was written on it. Unexpectedly, Wu Sangui shouted at them, and they had to retreat to the back as if they were wilted.
When Wu Sangui opened the document, the first sentence on it made him freeze in place. He took a breath and opened his eyes quickly, but then he took a deep breath and continued reading. Every sentence in this document had no meaning.
It's nonsense, but every bit of it is important. Wu Sangui can't believe every piece of news.
Wu Sangui, who originally only had a few sentences in the document, had to look at it for a long time before he regained consciousness. He stood there, unable to calm down for a long time, his eyes moving rapidly, and careful thoughts constantly flashing through his mind.
The general's appearance naturally made the three general soldiers standing aside more curious about the contents of this document. Yuan Tong couldn't help his curiosity after all, so he had the courage to ask: "General, it's all written above.
What? makes you so excited?"
After hearing this, Wu Sangui threw the documents directly to them.
Yuan Tong hurriedly took it and opened the document immediately, and the other two people also hurriedly gathered together. However, he never thought that the first sentence would make everyone exclaim, and his appearance was even more comical than Wu Sangui's.
The three of them looked at each other. No one could believe what was written above. Their eyes were full of disbelief. No one was sure whether the content above was indeed His Majesty's intention. But no one dared not believe that the content above was not His Majesty's.
mean.
At this level, they all worked hard with their lives, and some even lost their lives on the battlefield without changing. Therefore, they naturally did not have a deep understanding of the thoughts of the court and His Majesty. Faced with this situation, they instantly became speechless.
They were speechless, waiting for Wu Sangui to answer their questions, and then turned their attention to Wu Sangui.
"General, is this true?"
Yuan Tong had never thought in his whole life, nor dared to think, that His Majesty would one day do such a shocking thing. If the person who carried this document was not the imperial guard of the capital, he would have just regarded it as a joke.
That's all. After all, this incident shocked them much more than the defeat of Dorgon.
"Isn't this too unbelievable? The elders in the imperial court must have no idea about this. Otherwise, according to this document, their group of people will not give up until the imperial court is shaken up. This matter
I'm afraid it's just His Majesty's wish. He sent someone to deliver it directly without consulting the cabinet. Whether it's a big gift or a reminder depends on how you handle it, General."
Li Yuan also put forward his own opinion. Anyone who looks at it must be surprised, but if you think about it carefully, you will find that there are many twists and turns. Your Majesty has always been suspicious by nature. Those who have the qualifications in the past have not been dismissed.
Once you enter the prison, you will be sentenced to death by His Majesty.
Governor Yuan, who had just won a victory, not only lured Jiannu to the feet of the capital, but also acted boldly and talked nonsense. He dared to claim that after five years of Ping Liao, he was finally beheaded and ended up with such a miserable end. The former Governor Yuan
He was also the one who was personally led by His Majesty to give Shang Fang the sword in the main hall. But who knew that he would lose his trust in just a few years?
Thinking again about the contents of your Majesty's letter, although the conditions are extremely tempting and the attitude is extremely sincere, it would never have happened to any monarch before the Ming Dynasty, but today it happened to the general.
"I also don't quite understand what Your Majesty means."
Wu Sangui was pacing back and forth in the camp. At this moment, his heart was as irritated as a mess, but Naihe seemed to feel a little guilty after seeing His Majesty's sincerity and trust.
You know, before setting off from Shanhaiguan not long ago, he and Nadorgon had been exchanging letters. Even if it was just some daily correspondence that did not involve the secrets of the two armies, if it was leaked out, others would know a secret report.
Sent to the imperial court, he would basically not be able to escape the charge of collaborating with the enemy and treason.
But even in such a situation where China and Japan were on tenterhooks, he received such a heavy document from His Majesty. He did not dare to think about it. He had just tried to wonder whether His Majesty only made such a promise out of urgency; or maybe someone in the imperial court deliberately
It is possible for Shangzou to put himself in such a situation.
If His Majesty really had this intention, why didn't he say it a few days ago and only rushed to Babaili at this juncture? With this thought, he concluded that the capital must be surrounded by intruders at this moment, and he was afraid that the intruders had already begun to attack the city.
Only at such a critical moment would His Majesty make such bold words and give himself such a reward.
Glancing at the unconscious Jin Yiwei who was still lying on the ground, he was a little suspicious after all, so Yuan Tong searched the man's clothes, fearing that he was not a murderer and a thief who happened to faint while wearing this piece of clothing, and was caught by his own clothes.
people discovered.
But if you look closely, you can see that this person is probably not a thief. But after all, this document is of such great importance, there is nothing wrong with being more cautious, especially when you are doing something in front of this suspicious majesty.
"General, there is no doubt that this person is the emperor's own soldier." Yuan Tong looked at the size of the clothes, then checked the calluses on his right hand, and looked at his face, and then confirmed that there was at least no problem with this person's identity.
The size of clothing can best determine whether the person is the owner of the clothing. Most of the Jinyiwei clothing is customized by people sent by the Internal Affairs Bureau and is not under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of War and the Fifth Army Governor's Office. As His Majesty's spies and personal soldiers, they are naturally indispensable in the image, and if thieves take it
As for his clothes, the Feiyu suit probably doesn't fit his body, and it can be seen naturally.
Needless to say, the calluses on my right hand are caused by holding the knife for a long time.
"I never expected that after only ten years in the army, I would become the most envied person among all the daimyo's soldiers, King Pingxi!"
[Author's digression]: Sorry, brothers, today is full of classes and exams, and there is a lot of homework near the end of the term. I finally finished writing some, but because there is a college entrance examination test center next to the community, the Internet was suddenly disconnected. All the saved manuscripts were lost.
, I had to work harder at night to write. Come on, I still have two chapters left.
