Murong Shen suddenly recommended himself. The prince was a little surprised and turned to look at Murong Shen: "Why do you suddenly want to go to Beihai County?"
Murong Yao frowned and glanced at his eldest son unhappily: "Why are you, an imperial captain, getting involved in such a big matter? Why don't you apologize to His Highness as soon as possible?"
When serving in the palace, no matter father or son, only the official position is discussed.
Murong Shen did not panic and responded with his hands raised: "General, please calm down and listen to what the last general has to say."
"It is still unknown whether the King of Beihai is really sick or not. Beihai County is the vassal territory of the King of Beihai and has been in operation for more than thirty years. Eunuch Ma went alone, but I am afraid that he may not be able to scare the King of Beihai. Therefore, the last general is willing to lead the army.
Let’s go together so that King Beihai doesn’t dare to act rashly.”
This statement also makes sense.
Ma Sansi, a chamberlain, could not show off his prestige in front of the powerful vassal king. Murong Shen was different. The fifth-grade imperial captain, the eldest son of the general of the Imperial Guard, the next head of the Murong family, and leading elite troops were enough.
Shocked the North Sea King.
The prince nodded slightly: "That's fine, you can bring a thousand guards with you."
Murong Shen raised his hands and accepted the order: "Yes."
Murong Yao couldn't stop him, so he had no choice but to suppress his anger.
At this moment, Chen Dong, Minister of the Ministry of War, came over with a solemn expression.
During the national mourning period, all officials of the fifth rank and above must go to the palace to kneel in mourning. Only low-ranking officials from the sixth rank are left behind.
Chen Shangshu is twenty-two years old this year. His face is full of wrinkles and his hair is half white, but his body is very strong. He walks with his head held high and looks like a tiger.
Chen Shangshu was a close confidant of Emperor Yongxing. The prince had not yet sat on the throne, so he was very polite to the old minister: "Chen Shangshu came suddenly. Could it be that the Ministry of War has something important to report to you?"
An angry look flashed across Chen Shang's book, and he reported in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, Beihai County garrison general Zheng De has submitted a memorial. Wang Tong, the city gate officer under his command, secretly linked up with the bandits in Qinglong Mountain. After being captured, he was sent to the hospital together with the witnesses.
Capital City. He was chased by bandits on the way, and the posthouse was burned down. The officers and soldiers suffered heavy casualties. Wang Tong was also robbed by the bandits."
What?
The prince's expression changed and he became furious: "You bastard! Lawless! When did this happen? Why didn't anyone report it to Gu in time?"
A group of bandits dared to rob and kill the imperial officers and soldiers! Is there any royal law?
What made the prince even more angry was that Emperor Yongxing's body was still cold and had not yet been buried, so something like this happened. This was a slap in the face of the prince!
Once this matter spreads throughout the world, and the bandits everywhere learn from it, won't the world be in chaos?
When the prince became angry, Chen Shangshu and General Murong immediately handed over their hands to plead guilty.
Qinglong Village Zhou Sui Dynasty?
Murong Shen quickly lowered his eyelids to cover up his flash of shock.
"I am ashamed, veteran. In fact, Zheng De has submitted a memorial before. Because the veteran is in the palace and there is no one in charge of the Ministry of War, this memorial was suppressed in the Ministry of War."
Chen Shangshu apologized with a face of shame: "It was not until this memorial was sent that I was alarmed. The old minister failed in his duty and please forgive me."
Chen Shangshu's words are half true and false.
Of course, Chen Shangshu had known about the previous memorial. He also received a strange unsigned letter, which described the arrogance and cruelty of the Qinglong Village bandits.
However, Emperor Yongxing had just died a few days ago, and when the palace was busy organizing funeral arrangements, it was not appropriate to publicize such unfavorable facts.
Now that things are getting serious, we can no longer hide them.
The prince was so angry that the fat on his face kept trembling: "Chen Shangshu, immediately send troops to suppress the bandits."
As the Minister of the Ministry of War, Chen Shangshu is theoretically in charge of all soldiers and generals. However, the three military officers of the Jin Dynasty all hold high positions. The official documents of the Ministry of War can also mobilize the troops stationed in various places. The 100,000 troops in the capital are all under his control.
In the hands of Murong Yao, Feng Chuan and Gao Peng.
"Old minister, I obey the order," Chen Shangshu respectfully accepted the order and said rather cautiously: "There are many fierce bandits in Qinglong Mountain. The Jiaodong Army closest to them has ten thousand soldiers, so I'm afraid they won't be able to take full credit. The old minister thinks that we might as well start from there again.
The capital will send some elite troops."
The real elite soldiers of the Jin Dynasty were all in the capital.
The prince was so angry that he didn't think much about it: "I grant your request!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lieutenant Murong, who was silent on the side, once again recommended himself: "Your Highness, I am going to Beihai County. I don't want to bother the two masters. I am willing to lead the troops to suppress the bandits!"
Qingzhou is a long way away, and it is inconvenient for a large army to march, and it will take a lot of time on the road. Food, grass, baggage and logistical supplies are not a trivial matter.
Since Murong Shen went to Qingzhou, it would be appropriate for him to cooperate with the Jiaodong Army in suppressing a bandit.
The prince glanced at Murong Shen's sharp and handsome face: "Okay. The Imperial Guards are elite soldiers of the Jin Dynasty. Each of them is worth ten. I only give you five people. You must wipe out that group of bandits and cut off the head of the bandit leader."
solitary."
"yes."
…
There is no need to delay the suppression of bandits.
After receiving the order, Chen Shangshu immediately sent an official document to his subordinates. One was sent to the Jiaodong Army, ordering Li Ji to lead troops to suppress the bandits. The other was sent to the Imperial Guards.
The Imperial Guard has not been deployed for several years. After receiving this official document, there are many people who are excited and eager to try it.
It was not Murong Shen's turn to take the roster and order troops.
Imperial Guard General Murong Yao took the roster with an expressionless face, named the men of the three battalions, and gave Murong Shen the tiger talisman to lead the troops.
Only with the official documents of the Ministry of War and the tiger talisman in hand can we send out troops in a legitimate manner. Using troops without reason is a taboo in the army and is regarded as treason.
Murong Shen held the tiger talisman and his eyes flashed with light.
Murong Yao was filled with anger and waved his hand to make everyone retreat: "What happened to you today? You asked me to go to Beihai County without consulting me."
"It's just a matter of passing the decree. Are the bandits in Qinglong Mountain so easy to kill? In the past few years, the DPRK and the Central Government have not sent troops. As a result, as soon as they entered Qinglong Mountain, they were trapped by the endless mountains and forests. The bandits were killed.
Quite a few, the imperial army lost more people than the bandits died."
"Others don't know about this, don't you know? Now you're going to Qinglong Mountain! Humph! I think you've lost your mind!"
Murong Shen raised his eyes and looked at his stern father: "It is precisely because it is not easy to suppress the bandits that I have to go even more."
Murong Yao said coldly: "What nonsense is this? If the boat capsizes in the gutter and something goes wrong, the reputation you have gained over the past few years will be ruined."
Murong Shen said calmly: "There will be no mistakes. I will personally behead Zhou Sui and take his head back to the capital."
Murong Yao snorted from his nose: "Don't think I don't know. Why did you insist on going to Beihai County because of that Miss Zhao Liu?"
Murong Shen: "..."
When Murong Yao saw that his son was silent, he became even more angry: "I have already chosen a good marriage for you. Although Gao Peng's daughter is more ordinary in appearance, she is a noble daughter of the Hou family. The Murong family and the Gao family are married.
I don’t need to tell you the benefits, you should also understand.”
"You are so confused, why do you insist on marrying Zhao Xiyan, whom you have never met?"
