Chapter 78 Expedition to the West (Battle of Qinghai-Tibet 1)
When he walked into the Governor's Mansion and saw Lord Obai in full military uniform, Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) knew that there must be a fight. There were soldiers walking quickly everywhere, and there were piles of materials piled up in hills. It was a mess.
It looks like a big battle.
He quickly tidied up his official uniform and walked towards the lobby with his head held high. Although he was not old, his "level" was there. The unicorn uniform he wore stood out among the brown bears and rhino uniforms.
The appeasement envoy was originally a civil servant, but what the little emperor sent was still a Qilin patched suit, which means that Baoyu is still a military attache series. There were only two military attaches wearing Qilin patched clothes at the scene. Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) looked around, and there was a kind of
A feeling of complacency.
But this rooster-like demeanor only lasted for a few minutes and then disappeared.
As soon as he arrived at the lobby, he saw Eunuch Liang flashing out from the side. Eunuch Liang's face was particularly cold. He held the imperial edict and said: "By God's blessing, the emperor has decreed... to remove Jia Baoyu from the post of comfort envoy..."
It's really great. It doesn't matter if the official position of this pacifier is not appropriate, it's not enough to worry about. I have long wanted to resign this pacifier.
They are all acquaintances. When Eunuch Liang finished announcing the imperial edict, Baoyu walked up to him and said with a smile: "The Empress Dowager has always been kind, and the Emperor has always been kind?"
"You're all blessed, but the emperor said he misses you very much... Bring it, why don't we do it ourselves?"
"What to bring?"
"Bank notes, our family came all the way from the capital, why don't you give some bank notes to our Huahua?"
Baoyu took out the banknotes from his pocket and said, "You ask for bribes so openly, aren't you afraid that I will sue you?"
"Other people's banknotes were given to our family, but we are still unwilling to accept them. As for your banknotes, we dare to accept them. The emperor has said so. Mr. Xiao Jia has almost moved all the money from the imperial court.
Go to Jiugong and ask him for some banknotes."
"It seems that Eunuch Liang is following his orders?"
"Bring it, bring it all, is there anything else?" Eunuch Liang directly put his hand into Baoyu's arms.
This makes Mr. Aobai envious to death. Who is Eunuch Liang? He is the popular eunuch of the current emperor. Being able to be like this boy means that the emperor does not treat Baoyu as an outsider.
Baoyu could only smile bitterly at Eunuch Liang's rude behavior. I have money because I earned it with my brain. If you have the ability, you can earn it yourself?
I could only give all the banknotes to Eunuch Liang. He had no official position and was light-hearted, so he left as soon as he said so.
Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) turned around and walked away only a few steps when he heard Eunuch Liang's sharp voice coming from behind.
"Master Xiao Jia is leaving now?"
"Why, you still want me to treat you to dinner? Now I am a poor man and you have spent all my money."
"Hohohoho, these hundreds of thousands of taels of silver notes are just a drop in the bucket for Mr. Jia. Don't cry poor in front of our family... Mr. Baoyu listened to the decree and followed the emperor's edict... to confer Jia Baoyu as...
The general and governor of Shaanxi and Gansu led an army of 300,000 to put down the rebellion in Qinghai."
This is "I just came out of the wolf's den and entered the tiger's mouth again. What's going on?" Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) was stunned for a moment. I have been working too hard during this period and was about to resign and go home to have a good rest.
While resting, what's more important is that two beautiful sisters are here, and he must win them all, so that he can be worthy of the status of "Baoyu" who is charming and loved by everyone. Unexpectedly, now he has another
With such an appointment, wouldn't this cost one's own life?
"Eunuch Liang, isn't this appropriate? Can you give me a break first? Besides, when appointing such a big position, should you discuss it with me first? I think Mr. Obai is very suitable..." He looked like a scoundrel.
Prime Minister, this makes Eunuch Liang very happy. This kind of thing still needs to be negotiated and discussed?
"It's up to you. Your Majesty sent a special message to Mr. Jia. If you really want to refuse, don't you still have the position of a guard with a sword? You will return to Beijing immediately and work in the palace for one year.
Say it again."
After being on duty for a year, day and night, the emperor sat, ate, drank, and had fun, while I stood aside. Let’s forget it. I’ll go to Qinghai-Tibet. Although there is altitude sickness there, I’m not afraid.
Reluctantly, with a look of disgust on his face, he stuffed the imperial edict into his arms, turned around and said angrily to Master Aobai: "I know that Master Taifu must have contributed to this... An army of 300,000, food and grass go first,
I want 300,000 dans of millet and enough beans to feed 50,000 horses. If I lose a kilo, I will deduct a kilo of silver from the Grand Tutor. It’s up to you!”
Master Aobai was not angry at all. Instead, he cupped his hands and said: "Master Xiao Jia's request has been prepared for a long time. I have also prepared a thousand jars of burning knives for you... In addition, I also gave Master Xiao Jia
Contribute a thousand soldiers, led by Dafu, and I have already reported to the Empress Dowager and the Emperor. Lord Lin will be the governor of Shaanxi and act as the logistics manager for Lord Xiao Jia..."
Hearing this, could Baoyu know what the master was thinking?
This is what he has thought carefully about, so that he, Master Aobai, will not have to worry about the suspicion of the little emperor in the arms of the Empress Dowager, and can be his governor with peace of mind. This is a strategy that kills three birds with one stone.
, on the one hand, it relieved the court's suspicion of him, on the other hand, it eased the logistical pressure of the 400,000-strong army here, and at the same time, it also showed favor to Baoyu. It was a good strategy.
"I have to admire the great master's foresight and foresight."
"Both each other, Mr. Xiao Jia is more wise and powerful."
"It's just that I don't know something. Since you are so smart now, why did you put yourself in a very embarrassing situation before?"
"Now and then, people are confused sometimes... Only those who know how to advance and retreat are masters. I still have the same requirement. People have misfortune and good fortune, and the moon waxes and wanes. If something happens to me one day, Dafu will do it.
I leave it to Master Xiao Jia."
Mr. Obai did not shy away from Eunuch Liang's presence at all. He originally hoped that Eunuch Liang would bring these words to the Empress Dowager and the young emperor.
After leaving the Governor's Mansion, Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) shook his robe, raised his head and looked up at the gray sky at a 45-degree angle. He felt that his heart began to heat up again. It seemed that he was really a laborer.
My life, as a soldier, I just hope that I can fight, keep fighting, and win the battles, but it is best not to return to the battlefield with my body buried. After the battle, there will be flowers, wine, and beauties in the court, and there will be flowers and wine in the court when I return home.
Being greeted by fellow villagers on the way, and after returning home, you can not think about anything but just plant grass and raise flowers. When you have nothing to do, you can brag to others about how brave and invincible you are, but these must be based on your own actions.
On the basis of heroes killing enemies.
But now that Baochai and Daiyu are in his house, what should he do?
(Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) wants to go on an expedition to Qinghai-Tibet. What will Bao and Dai do when they come from afar? Please see the breakdown in the next round.)
