4-41 Recruiting disciples and dividing them into officials
Gu Dahai shook the Five Tiger Door-Breaking Knife in his hand and challenged Liu Ziguang aggressively. The long series of iron rings on the thick-backed sword made a clattering sound, and the atmosphere in the yard became tense again.
"Left and right, give it to me!" Mr. Qi finally broke out. These subordinates really didn't want to give him any face. Anyway, the big thing has been decided and they need to be sorted out.
"My lord, you are hiding behind the scenes! Brothers, come on!" A guy behind Gu Dahai wearing a tattered scribe's robe angrily called to his men to wave their weapons to protect Gu Dahai.
"Don't do anything!" Liu Ziguang shouted loudly, and his thunderous voice calmed everyone in the courtyard. He walked up to the man who looked like a scribe, looked up and down and asked: "The bird is hiding behind the bow, yes, you can still do it."
Say a few idioms, are you the master?" Without waiting for his answer, he walked up to Gu Dahai again, took a look at the heavy machete and said: "Such a heroic spirit, must we be brothers on the road? I don't know how to call a hero?"
Gu Dahai snorted coldly and said: "I am the master of Crouching Tiger Village on Tianmu Mountain and the descendant of the Five Tigers Broken Gate Sword. I am the leader of Gu Xia Dahai, and now I am the vanguard of the fifth line of the thirty-sixth line of anti-eunuch army.
Officer, what's the matter? Do you want to make some gestures?"
"It turns out it's Mr. Gu, I've never heard of it." Liu Ziguang sneered, "You're still gesticulating, just based on your crappy skills? Come on, I'll give you ten moves."
Gu Dahai was furious. No one in Jiangnan Jianghu dared to talk to him like this, and even called his family sword a piece of rotten iron. He was so angry that his lungs were about to explode.
"Chop this kid! How dare you underestimate our Crouching Tiger Village."
"The boss, give him some color and see."
"What a bullshit minister, kill him and take the money and women back to Crouching Tiger Village. Who can do anything to us?"
The minions in Crouching Tiger Village were making a lot of noise. Gu Dahai raised his hand to stop their nonsense and said: "That man, I don't want you to give in, as long as you can take ten swords from me, these silver
We don’t want it with you ladies, if you can’t take it anymore…”
"If I can't beat you, you can take whatever is in this yard. Mr. Qi, please don't interfere in this matter. I will make Master Gu convinced of his defeat." Liu Ziguang said confidently.
"Okay, it's settled, then I won't be polite." Gu Dahai raised his sword and was about to slash at him, but found that Liu Ziguang was bare-handed and looked unconcerned.
"Show your sword, I will not bully the unarmed."
"We don't need weapons to deal with you."
These words angered Gu Dahai even more. He originally wanted to only hurt Qi Zhenming's arm for the sake of Qi Zhenming's sake, but now Gu Dahai has changed his mind and plans to kill Liu Ziguang directly. At worst, he will go back to being a bandit. Gu Dahai is in the Jiangnan underworld.
That's the famous stupid young man. It doesn't matter whether he's wearing a python robe or a dragon robe, as long as he doesn't have a bad temper.
, always speak with a machete.
There was a crunching sound, and the Wuhu Door-breaking Sword struck at Liu Ziguang with the force of a mountain. The long series of iron rings on the back of the knife made a soul-stirring sound. This broad-backed broadsword itself is extremely heavy, and coupled with Gu
The natural power of the sea is really unstoppable. Logically speaking, Liu Ziguang should rely on his agility to avoid it in this situation, but instead he faced the top of his head and stretched out a pair of fleshy palms to grab at the blade.
Gu Dahai's sword was powerful enough to strike a thousand kilograms. Even if he tried to parry with an ordinary weapon, he would be cut in half. But Liu Ziguang unexpectedly came to greet him empty-handed. Does this guy really want to die? Gu Dahai thought to himself, of course Gu Dahai thought to himself.
The boss was by no means a good man and a believer in women, so he chopped him off without mercy with his broadsword.
The broadsword slashed down hard with the sound of wind, but the expected sound of flesh and bone being separated was not heard, and the blade did not feel the comfortable feeling of cutting into the human body. Gu Dahai took a closer look, and the five tigers broke the door with the blade.
The sharp blade was actually held by this arrogant young man.
Gu Dahai quickly pulled the knife back, but it was as if the sword was clamped by iron pliers. Even though he exerted all his strength in the bridal chamber, it still didn't move. Looking at Gu Dahai who was blushing from holding back, Liu Ziguang shouted, "Let's go".
With a strong tug on his hand, the Five Tiger Door-Breaking Knife came out of Gu Dahai's hand, and the tyrannical force even cracked his tiger's mouth.
"If you lose, take your men and get out." Liu Ziguang threw the knife to Gu Dahai and said.
Gu Dahai felt a fever on his face. He had never lost such an adult in all his years in the Jiangnan underworld. It would have been fine if the opponent was Taishan Beidou in the martial arts world. But it turned out to be an unknown young man, which really made it impossible for him to step down.
"Good boy, I accept my defeat. If you are wise, I will leave Wan'er. I will come to ask for advice from now on." Gu Dahai is also a bachelor. If he loses, he loses. He doesn't intend to take the money and the women, but those on the road
We still have to talk about the scene.
"What? You still want to seek revenge from me? Listen up. My name is Liu Ziguang. I live in the south of the city. I'm waiting for you to come to your door at any time."
"Liu Ziguang? But Liu Ziguang, who defeated the Tatar soldiers in Shandong and captured Dorgon alive? But the three-headed, six-armed, indestructible Liu Ziguang mentioned in the commentary?" Gu Dahai's eyes were as wide as eggs, and his mouth was wide in disbelief.
It cracked into an O shape.
"I was the one who captured Dorgon alive, but with three heads and six arms, there is no way that King Kong is indestructible." He didn't expect his name to be so famous. Liu Ziguang was a little surprised. The last time Liu Ziguang's name was announced in Gone with the Wind, it didn't cause any concern.
What a sensation. Of course he didn't know the difference between literati and martial artists. Not to mention the comments made in low-level teahouses. Scholars didn't listen. Even if they listened, they might not be interested in the story of a martial artist. On the contrary, a reckless hero like Gu Dahai was interested in the story.
Liu Ziguang's name was so familiar that he listened to the comments again and again, and even knew them by heart.
"Brother! Hero! Master!" Gu Dahai bowed his head and bowed, and a group of minions behind him also knelt down and kowtowed.
"What does this mean? Get up and talk." A group of people who had been stern and tense just now suddenly filled the courtyard with their knees, and Liu Ziguang was confused.
"Master, if you don't accept your disciple, he will not get up." Gu Dahai lay on the ground and kowtowed as if he was pounding garlic, and the white marble ground made a thumping sound.
"I have nothing to teach you? Why do you want me to be your master?" Liu Ziguang's words are true. In addition to his strength and speed far exceeding ordinary people, his real martial arts skills are only slightly higher than those of ordinary soldiers.
"My disciple is stupid. I know that my master's profound martial arts cannot be learned by ordinary people. I don't ask for martial arts. I just ask my master to give me a status and let my disciple serve me in front of me and behind me." Gu Dahai almost screamed like he was dry.
The words came out in a tone that was followed by a frenzy of kowtows.
Liu Ziguang had never seen such a scene. Although Gu Dahai was rude and savage, he was still a straightforward man. Such a person was more compatible with the people in the red shirt regiment. Anyway, there was no harm in taking on the younger brother, so he simply agreed to him.
"Okay, I will accept you as my apprentice, and you can follow me from now on." Liu Ziguang said boldly.
"Thank you, Master!" Gu Dahai was ecstatic and knocked violently again. The minions behind him also shouted happily: "Thank you, Master!"
"Congratulations to Mr. Liu on your new disciple." Qi Zhenming's current mood is to knock out his teeth and swallow it in his stomach. He cannot express the pain. This situation is far beyond his expectation. His Donglin Army was actually incorporated like this, and
I still can't say anything. I'm a disciple, but I'm not openly surrendering to him... although it's no different from openly surrendering.
The crisis was resolved, and the search of the house continued. Since there were too many belongings and family members to be transported, they were simply sealed on the spot and left with a team of troops to guard them until they could be searched slowly in the future.
Early the next morning, the first morning court hosted by the emperor personally in this dynasty was solemnly held. Since Fengtian Palace was burned down, the morning court was temporarily held in Wuying Hall. Basically, all the ministers who were qualified to attend the court came. These people used to belong to their respective families.
Those in the Eunuch or Houdang camps couldn't help but feel uneasy when they saw that the palace no longer had the usual curtain and the throne next to it, but what happened next made them feel relieved.
In line with the overriding starting point of stability, all officials involved with the eunuch party will not be held accountable, and existing official positions will not be adjusted to ensure that the entire court can continue to operate normally. The ministers are all grateful and grateful as if they were granted an amnesty.
Long live.
Then Qian Qianyi went out to report to the emperor the results of yesterday's counterinsurgency. Huang Huangrong, the leader of the eunuch party, colluded with Yang Bo, the admiral of the East Factory, and Li Lianying, the leader of the internal affairs, in an attempt to rebel against Jun Shi. Fortunately, Qian Qianyi, Xu Zengshou, Yuan Chonghuan, Liu Ziguang,
The loyal ministers and righteous men led by Qi Zhenming and Wei Zhongxian turned the tide and saved the emperor from danger. They also launched a counterattack and annihilated the rebels in Dongchang and Neicao. They killed Yang Bo on the spot and captured Huang Jinrong and Li Lianying alive. But unfortunately, the Empress Dowager was here.
He was frightened by the turmoil and had to recuperate in the palace. He could no longer listen to politics behind the curtain. Many important officials also died in the fire in Fengtian Palace, causing immeasurable losses to the court.
After hearing this, everyone quickly praised the emperor for his wisdom and prowess, as well as his ancestors' blessings. It would be difficult for a young person to succeed. Some people gnashed their teeth and cursed Huang Jinrong on the spot. He was a great thief of the country and should be cut into pieces by a thousand swords and executed at an early age. And these people were exactly the same.
It was his 9,000-year-old godson. Zhu Youxiao just laughed at such a performance. He immediately issued an edict and asked the Ministry of Punishment, Dali Temple, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate to review the case of Huang Jinrong's rebellion. Then he said that he was still young.
, although she is already married, she lacks experience in handling government affairs, so it would be better to wait until the Queen Mother recovers and then listen to politics from behind the curtain.
The ministers immediately expressed their objections with righteous faces, saying that since the emperor has reached the age of sixteen, the queen mother should return to the emperor. Moreover, the emperor's calm and calm command of the counter-insurgency work yesterday was enough to prove that he has the ability to manage the country.
ability.
Zhu Youxiao once again said hypocritically that he was not qualified and would wait until his mother recovered. The ministers suddenly became anxious and knelt on the ground one by one, banging their heads.
"A country cannot live without a king for a day!" an old minister shouted with tears streaming down his face. Others also followed suit. The little emperor still pretended not to agree, and it was not until the ministers tried hard to persuade him for the third time that he reluctantly agreed to take charge.
After performing this scene, Zhu Youxiao officially began to rule personally. The first imperial edict was to add two more words "Ci" and "Duan" to the title of the Queen Mother to show his filial piety. This move immediately won the favor of the courtiers.
A burst of praise, the emperor's benevolence and filial piety are really a blessing to the people of the world.
Then two more imperial edicts were issued: the Ministry of Works rebuilt the Fengtian Temple; and Liu Ziguang was appointed as the imperial minister of the Forbidden City. The first edict was easy to say, but the second edict was a bit confusing, and the high-ranking courtiers did not recognize it.
Liu Ziguang, but this decree clearly tells everyone that this man named Liu Ziguang is definitely the emperor's most trusted person, and he must have contributed greatly to yesterday's bloody battle. It seems that we need to get closer to him in the future. The court meeting has not yet
After leaving, many people are already planning to give gifts to the ministers in charge of the bodyguards.
Zhu Youxiao's first early morning dynasty came to a successful end. After he retired, he left Qian Qianyi, Yuan Chonghuan, Xu Zengshou and others to discuss the issue of rewards for meritorious personnel. When the Fengtian Palace was burned down, at least five ministers were vacated.
There are many vacancies in the Beijing Army, Dongchang, Jinyiwei, and Wucheng Bingma Division.
Of course, Liu Ziguang and Wei Zhongxian also attended the meeting, as well as Hu Yimin, the nominal cousin of the little emperor and the right protector of the Donglin Party. After a friendly and frank talk, an agreement was finally reached: the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of Household Affairs returned to the Donglin Party.
, the position of Minister of the Ministry of War went to Yuan Chonghuan, Xu Zengshou was promoted to the left governor of the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion, and was in charge of the guards of the Beijing army. Qi Zhenming, in addition to continuing to be in charge of the Jinyi Guards, also served as the Minister of the Ministry of Punishments; the Minister of the Ministry of Industry was promised to Liu Ziguang by Zhu Youxiao a long time ago.
Jun did not joke, but Liu Ziguang refused, claiming that there was a more suitable candidate than himself. The candidate he recommended was Song Yingxing. After learning that Song Yingxing was the author of "Tiangong Kaiwu" and presided over the development of airships and other objects
, Zhu Youxiao happily agreed.
As an institution established by Emperor Chengzu, Dongchang cannot be abolished at will. Moreover, over the years, Dongchang's prestige has penetrated deeply into the minds of ordinary people and officials. This brand effect should be utilized, so the notorious
The East Factory was preserved, and was concurrently held by Wei Zhongxian, a confidant of the young emperor and the current eunuch in charge of rituals. His main responsibility was to investigate plots against demons and evildoers, and he shared power with the Jinyiwei.
Although Liu Ziguang's South Factory was established by the Empress Dowager, the personnel inside and outside were very pure, so it continued to remain, with Liu Ziguang still serving as the admiral. His main responsibility was to spy on the enemy's situation and prevent the enemy from conducting infiltration investigations into the Ming Dynasty.
The responsibilities of the East Factory and the South Factory are clearly divided. One is responsible for internal affairs and the other is responsible for external affairs. It feels like the FBI in the United States to Liu Ziguang.
Same as cia.
There was a slight dispute over the selection of the Wucheng Soldiers and Horses Division. Jin Yiwei and Dongchang were very jealous of this lucrative position, but in the end it was taken over by Liu Ziguang because his men had de facto controlled Wucheng.
The position of commander of the Military and Horse Division was given to Li Yan based on Liu Ziguang's suggestion. Li Yan had already accomplished the feat of killing Yang Bo, so everyone had nothing to say.
After solving these major problems, the remaining problems will be easy to deal with. Issues such as ennobling titles, granting money, and other personnel arrangements can be left to the old masters of the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Personnel to study.
Everyone was quite satisfied with this distribution. After everyone kowtowed happily and thanked everyone, they were about to return home. Zhu Youxiao suddenly thought of something and asked: "Liu Aiqing, you don't have a mansion in the capital yet."
