It has been two years since Emperor Yongming ascended the throne.
At first, it was very timid, and the court was held every month. As time went by, Emperor Yongming's dissolute nature gradually emerged, and the large court meeting on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month was indispensable. The small court meeting was changed from once a month to March.
Once.
There is no small court meeting in the bright moon, so Emperor Yongming can sleep until the moon is on the third pole before getting up. It turns out that Eunuch Ma came in early in the morning to report that the prince and the prince of Beihai had come together.
Emperor Yongming was woken up early and felt quite unhappy. Xu Jing could do nothing, the prince had to be seen. Emperor Yongming had a serious face and was helped by outside servants to change his clothes and comb his hair.
"hiss!"
The waiter who was combing his hair was startled and immediately knelt down to apologize.
Emperor Yongming was so furious that he had the waiter pulled out and killed with a cane. The waiter who took over the errand of combing his hair was so frightened that his face turned red.
Emperor Yongming went to the main hall with a gloomy face and summoned the prince and the prince of Beihai.
After a while, the prince and Xu Jing entered the hall together.
"You came to see me in a hurry early in the morning. Would it be a disaster if you came to see me?" Emperor Yongming opened his mouth a little impatiently.
The prince stopped Xu Jing from opening his mouth with his eyes, then took a step forward, crossed his legs and said, "I have a request to report to my father." In a few words, he told the story of the banditry in Beihai County.
Emperor Yongming was very angry and slapped the armrest of the dragon chair hard: "Those bandits, don't you want to rebel? It was only after the merger of Jizhou and Jizhou that they stopped, and now there is another bandit trouble in Beihai County."
The prince also had an angry look on his face: "Uncle King Beihai made a decisive decision and sealed the city gate. Two thousand garrison soldiers rushed to the port to save themselves, and then they barely managed to hold on to Beihai County. I think the urgent report to the court will arrive soon."
"I very much ask my father to send troops to suppress the bandits immediately!"
Sending out troops to suppress bandits is, to put it lightly, a huge sum of money as soon as the army is dispatched. The national treasury is almost empty, so how can we afford the war?
Besides, it is nothing for a mere Beihai County to be harmed by bandits. The King of Beihai died in the legs of bandits, which saved the court from having to worry about it anymore.
Emperor Yongming glanced at the prince, and most of the anger in his voice disappeared: "Sending troops to suppress the bandits is not a trivial matter. Let's wait for the urgent report from Beihai County to arrive before I can discuss it."
The prince frowned and was about to continue speaking. Xu Jing beside him suddenly shouted: "I have something to ask the emperor to do. I want to lead my troops back to Beihai County immediately, behead the bandit leader, and then return to Beijing."
Dedicate it to the Emperor. Please accept it!"
The prince secretly thought something was wrong.
Sure enough, Emperor Yongming's face darkened: "The prince mistakenly trusted me in every possible way and gave me the important task of training new soldiers. How many months has it been? I have the safety of my father, princess, concubine and Beihai County in my heart, can I put it at risk?
The prince and I trust Yu Buqin with their high hopes?"
"Stop kneeling, get up and go back to the new army camp now. Give me a year, and I want to see a well-trained army."
"As for the bandits in Beihai County, the imperial court will send troops to encircle and suppress them."
Make it clear that Xu Jing is not allowed to leave Beijing without permission.
Xu Jing had to thank him, get up and leave first.
As soon as Xu Jing left, Emperor Yongming became angry and pointed at the prince: "Have I lost my head? If I came to Fuyou Palace in a hurry early in the morning, why would I care about such a trivial matter as causing banditry in Beihai County?"
"I have long wanted to cut down the vassal. My uncle, the King of Beihai, is very cunning. My imperial grandfather passed away, and he pretended to be ill. Now that he has suffered from banditry, he will not get retribution."
Fortunately, Xu Jing didn't hear those words. But when the prince listened, he felt chilled in his heart.
The prince raised his eyes and met Emperor Yongming's misunderstanding: "My father wanted to cut down the vassal, but my sons and ministers did not agree. However, the vassal king of the Jin Dynasty must not die in the legs of bandits. Once there is a mistake in Beihai County, the court will definitely be in turmoil."
There is no peace, the people's morale is unstable, and the royal family has lost its dignity and respect."
"The bandits of Mingyue can rush into Beihai County, but he Yue dares to rush into the capital and the palace."
Emperor Yongming looked ugly and snorted: "Scaremongering! If Yingchuan County was besieged instead, would I be so urging to send troops?"
The prince looked calm: "If something happens to Yingchuan County, Prince Yingchuan and his wife will definitely come to ask my father to send troops. How can my father not respond?"
Emperor Yongming: "..."
In front of Empress Su, Emperor Yongming could shamelessly declare that the Chen family had a dragon seed, but in front of his son, he really couldn't say that.
The father and son had a misunderstanding for a moment.
Emperor Yongming coughed and softened his tone: "I know this matter well. I will wait until the battle report from Beihai County is sent to the court."
The prince had to bow his head and retire.
…
At noon that day, Beihai County sent an urgent battle report from 800 miles away.
Emperor Yongming immediately summoned all ministers to the palace to discuss matters. The prince was also summoned.
Xu Jing was in the military camp and could not leave without permission. His handsome face was as dark as frost.
Several princes and princes who were also in the military camp came to hear the news and opened their mouths to comfort each other.
The princes and princes of the vassal were at odds with each other, but they naturally stood on the same side in the face of such important events.
Xu Jing calmed down and said, "Don't worry, cousins, he can hold on."
The Prince of Xihe sighed and patted Xu Jing's shoulder: "He knows that I am very anxious. Bu Nao, the emperor will never let me go to Beihai County, and will definitely send additional troops. I don't want to worry about this anymore."
Xu Jing nodded slightly.
After waiting patiently for two days, I finally received the news from the palace.
The imperial court sent a battalion of 10,000 brave cavalry to suppress the bandits. In addition, the Ministry of War issued a document ordering the Qingzhou Jiaodong Army to also reinforce and suppress the bandits.
Xu Jing secretly breathed a sigh of relief. All the cavalry battalions were cavalry, and they were able to send out troops quickly. Marquis Zhongyong was rough on the outside but fine on the outside, and was quite brave. With Marquis Zhongyong leading the troops to suppress the bandits, and the Jiaodong Army of Brother Li Ji, he asked Beihai County
But by holding on until the imperial army and the Jiaodong Army arrive, the danger can be turned into safety.
Xu Jing called Xu San and gave some instructions in a low voice.
Xu San's expression remained unchanged, and he bowed his legs and accepted the order.
Two months later, Xu Jing took Xu San to the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion.
Zhongyong Hou Gaopeng led his five sons to welcome him at the main entrance: "The prince is here, and the Gao family in the east is overjoyed."
Xu Jing smiled and said, "I haven't seen you for a while. Why is the Marquis so silent and so polite? It sounds strange to him that he is not used to it."
Marquis Zhongyong laughed: "The prince said that, he is not polite. Please come inside."
Having been on the battlefield together with Pao Ze, there is always a sense of friendship that is different from others.
There are five Gao brothers, one is taller and stronger than the other. Compared with Xu Sanyi, they all look more delicate.
Zhongyong Hou Dong glanced at Xu San consciously, then smiled and said to Xu Jing: "The soldiers around the prince are more heroic than the others."
The tall, dark-skinned young soldier looked much more pleasing to the eye than Xu Shiyi.
Xu Jing didn't beat around the bush, he just said: "If he comes in the bright moon, please ask for a favor."
"In a few months, the Marquis will ask for troops to go to Beihai County to suppress the bandits. He has five hundred soldiers under his command. Xu San will take 300 people and go out with the Marquis."
Xu San took two steps forward, crossed his legs and saluted: "From now on, I will listen to the orders sent by the Marquis, and no one dares to disobey them, no matter how high the swords are or the seas of fire."
It’s the end of the month, please give me a monthly ticket (#^.^#)
