Chapter Fifty-five Eat and drink enough to go on the road
Baoding and the capital are connected by official roads. This road has a history of a thousand years. It is said that it was built by the Khitans. It was repaired later in the Jin and Yuan dynasties. During the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty, tens of thousands of civilians were recruited to improve it. Over the next two hundred years,
They have all been repaired, so the roads are in very good condition. Most of the roads are paved with bluestone bricks. Four carriages can run parallel to each other and they run very fast.【】.
After Jin Guozheng was deceived out of Baoding by Li Guangdi, he was escorted all the way and drove straight for more than sixty miles before he ordered the soldiers to rest at the post station to recuperate and continue the journey tomorrow.
Jin Guozheng was dismissed by imperial edict and was about to be escorted back to the capital. The person who came to announce the edict was Li Guangdi, a great scholar of the current dynasty. Therefore, Jin Guozheng had no doubts in his heart from the beginning to the end. Since he was the imperial envoy to escort him, he was the imperial prisoner.
Naturally, he had no right to speak and could only listen to Li Guangdi's arrangements. Fortunately, Li Guangdi also took good care of him. He did not shackle or tie him up, nor put him in a prison car. He only ordered the soldiers to strictly control him. This made Jin Guozheng
I miss Li Guangdi somewhat in my heart.
After dismounting and exchanging a few words with the postman who came out, Li Guang walked up to Jin Guozheng with a smile and said: "Master Jin, after traveling all day, you must be hungry already. I have asked the postman to prepare some food and wine.
Please use it."
"Jin is a person who has been appointed by the emperor. How can I dare to call you "sir"? I will just call you by my name."
Jin Guozheng is also the governor. He is no longer an admiral of the Zhili government. He is a person who was brought to the capital with a crime chain. This adult said that he would never dare to take it. While he was modest about himself, he was looking at the soldiers.
With help, he turned over and jumped off the horse. He cupped his fists in return and asked Li Guangdi to go first.
Li Guang nodded, stretched out his hand and said: "Please!" Then he led Jin Guozheng into the inn. The dozens of soldiers outside left half of them in charge of the horses, and the rest followed them into the inn.
After a while, several postmen prepared the meals. There was fish and meat, which was quite abundant. However, it was a post station after all. There were no decent bowls in the small place. Most of them were coarse porcelain and large pottery. The rice was also served directly in a
The big basin looks very simple. The meat is beef, but not pork. It must have been specially arranged because he knew that Jin Guozheng did not eat pork.
Everyone has their own thoughts when they are out and about. Who would care about such trivial details as simple tableware? Li Guangdi smiled and asked Jin Guozheng to sit down and poured him a glass of wine himself. Then he also poured a bowl for himself, holding it in his hand and inviting Jin Guozheng to
Have a drink with yourself.
Although Jin Guozheng is a Huizi, he only avoids the smell of pigs, but not alcohol. He has been in the army for many years, and he is also an alcoholic. His drinking capacity is also very good. After a day on the road, he has already become addicted to alcohol. However, due to his status,
, how can I still be like before, when I want to drink, I will ask someone to bring me a drink. Although I am worried about this and my future is worrying, as the saying goes, a drunk will solve a thousand worries. Instead of worrying and not knowing where to go, it is better to drink good wine.
, allowing himself to be temporarily paralyzed. Without hesitation, he picked up the wine and drank it in one gulp.
Li Guangdi didn't know whether it was because he couldn't drink enough, or he knew that he had the emperor's job, so he didn't dare to drink and make trouble. He just took a small sip on his lips, and then continued to pour wine for Jin Guozheng.
Jin Guozheng also noticed that Li Guangdi didn't drink much, but he didn't think much about it. He just thought that he was on an errand, so how could he get so drunk with someone who was trying to offend him? If it were him, he would never do it.
for drink.
Fill the pottery, fill the pottery, and after a while, a jar of wine has gone into Jin Guozheng's stomach, and half of the food on the table has been reduced.
Jin Guozheng was a good drinker, and even after a jar of wine went into his stomach, he didn't even get down on the spot. Li Guangdi didn't talk to him much, but kept urging him to drink. After drinking half a jar of wine, it was almost time, and Li Guangdi finally Putting down his chopsticks, he said leisurely: "Jin Guozheng, is this food delicious?"
Hearing Li Guangdi ask this, Jin Guozheng couldn't help but smile bitterly, shook his head and said: "Master Li, why do you ask this? Now the delicacies of mountains and seas are placed in front of Jin, I'm afraid they are just like the chaff..." He sighed and said: "Jin has been on the battlefield for many years. Days passed by one day at a time. When Wu Sangui rebelled, Jin followed General Zhao to quell the rebellion. At that time, the Wu army was in great arrogance and the officers and soldiers were invincible. Jin was just a junior at the time, so what he thought was Some eat as they please, and some drink as they please. There is a big scar on the head after falling off a bowl, which is really remarkable. It was not like this back then, but it is even more so now. Whether the food is suitable for the mouth or not, isn't it the same thing to eat? What more can I do? If I don’t think it’s delicious, why can’t you ask the imperial chef to cook a full banquet for Jin?”
"Haha, okay, okay."
After listening to Jin Guozheng's words, Li Guangdi laughed, and stood up while smiling, "Jin Guozheng, it's best for you to think so. I can't hide something from you, I have to let you know, otherwise I will end up in hell. I will also blame me for not explaining it clearly to you."
"Master Li, what do you want to tell me?"
Jin Guozheng was a little drunk, and his mind began to get confused. He only listened to the first words, but did not hear the last words clearly. He burped and looked at Li Guangdi in confusion.
Li Guangdi's eyes slowly swept across his face, and he waved his hand gently. Suddenly, six soldiers who had been waiting for him rushed in and pressed Jin Guozheng on the table. One soldier pressed Jin Guozheng's head tightly. , placed on the table, no matter how hard Jin Guozheng struggled, he would not let go.
"Master Li, what are you doing?!"
Jin Guozheng was very dissatisfied. Although he was an imperial criminal, the emperor did not finally convict him. Why did he, Li Guangdi, treat him like this?
"Jin Guozheng, you're so lucky to have listened. This meal of food and wine was specially prepared for you by the Emperor's father and the Regent, so that you can eat and drink well, so that you won't be hungry when you reach the underworld."
"Emperor Father and Regent?" Jin Guozheng recovered from his drinking. He was stunned and wanted to ask "Emperor Father and Regent?" But before he could speak, a rag was suddenly stuffed into his mouth, and then the soldiers You dragged me and pulled him out of the inn.
Outside the inn, a large stone slab was placed at some point. Beside the stone slab stood a soldier with a broadsword in his hand, looking coldly at Jin Guozheng who was being dragged out.
At this moment, Jin Guozheng knew what was going to happen, but he still didn't believe it. Although it was an imperial decree to arrest him, no matter whether he was going to be executed or not, it was not his turn to be lynched by Li Guangdi. He had to go through the Ministry of Punishment and the Metropolitan Procuratorate. After the discussion, it was left to the emperor to decide, and now he, Li Guangdi, wants to kill him halfway, what kind of thing is this!
Suffering from the stuffing in his mouth, Jin Guozheng could not speak. He could only glare at Li Guangdi and kept struggling. Because of excessive exertion, the veins on his brow popped out, which was very scary.
"Please come out, Mr. Jin!"
Li Guangdi's nose twitched and he waved his hands coldly. The soldiers immediately dragged Jin Guozheng to the stone slab, forced him to kneel down, and pressed Jin Guozheng's head against the cold stone slab by his braids.
Is it the emperor who wants Li Guangdi to kill me?!
From the corner of his eye, he caught sight of an executioner wielding a broadsword. Jin Guozheng's vision went dark. He struggled no longer, and his body went limp. Then he heard a "click" sound. Jin Guozheng, who had experienced hundreds of battles and had risen from a small soldier to an admiral,
There were two corpses.
After killing Jin Guozheng, Li Guangdi curled his lips and motioned to the soldiers to bring Jin's head back to the capital in a cloth bag, and then asked the postmen to drag Jin's body to the field and bury it. These postmen were all Guan Ning's troops.
All the people who were replaced along the way knew what to do and handled it neatly without saying anything.
After staying at the inn for a night, Li Guangdi took Jin Guozheng's head and rushed to Beijing the next day. At this moment, Zhao Qiang, who was about to lead his troops to Shanhaiguan to fight against Kangxi's army, staged a tragedy of "burning Confucian scholars" in the Imperial Academy.

Author's Note: 1. In the previous chapter of "Invulnerability", the Manchu Delhui used witchcraft to destroy firearms. In the 14th year of Shunzhi, the leader Leshan under the rule of Jilin Dutong Yamen used the skills of shamans to defeat the Rakshasa soldiers.
Adapted from the incident. It is slightly exaggerated. The novelist said that it should not be taken seriously. The shape of the serial fire gun is like a pipa, which is similar to the magic weapon held by the four heavenly kings of Nantianmen in myths and legends.
Ren and others spread the theory of "monster" out of jealousy and disgust, so this is an extension.
Second, some readers say that this book is a random fabrication, deliberately instigating and confusing Han youth, and advocating Nazi racial ideology. This issue is a matter of different opinions and wisdom, so I won’t say more.
Third, the update this month is unstable. One is because of the Chinese New Year, the other is because the wife had a miscarriage, and the third is some family matters. All of them have been dealt with now. Bones will try its best to maintain explosive updates in the next time. It is expected that there will be another update before the end of the month.
