Chapter nine hundred and twenty-six. One after another (two).
…
…
The distance between Tianshui City and Huamachi Camp is relatively close. It only takes less than two days to travel quickly, so Li Ru'an arrived at Huamachi Camp only more than one day later than Zhao Junchen.
At this time, in the side hall of the Trilateral Governor's Mansion, Li Ru'an was sitting on a chair drinking tea quietly, while Liu Ye stood behind Li Ru'an with a reserved attitude. The two were waiting for Zhao Junchen's summons.
Seeing that Zhao Junchen had not summoned them for a long time, Li Ruan couldn't help but told Liu Ye again: "When you see the Imperial Envoy later, you must be as serious and respectful as possible when pleading guilty. You should answer whatever the Imperial Envoy asks.
, Never take the initiative to speak. This imperial envoy hates idiots who can’t recognize their own position...
There must be no deception or evasion. This imperial envoy is extremely shrewd, and ordinary clever tricks cannot be hidden from his eyes. It will only make you lose the opportunity completely...
Also, the Imperial Envoy may seem kind on weekdays, but he has an extremely strong character and has his own opinions. Therefore, you must not take the initiative to defend yourself in an attempt to influence his judgment. This will only arouse the Imperial Envoy's displeasure...
…
All in all, how the imperial court wants to deal with you is all left to the decision of the Imperial Envoy. When the time comes, our family will naturally intercede for you. As for the fact that you were just forced to become the leader of the rebels, and the fact that you have helped our family to pacify the situation during this period of time,
We will also tell the Imperial Envoy all the achievements of the civil unrest in detail, but you must not overdo it..."
This is the sixth time Li Ru'an has warned Liu Ye like this since the two left Tianshui City.
Liu Ye is the person to be punished by the leader of the rebels, and Li Ruan is the eunuch who oversees the army in Shaanxi and Gansu. The status of the two is very different, but if it were not for Liu Ye's assistance, Li Ruan would have wanted to pacify the Tianshui people this time.
The chaos would never be so swift, and the methods and intelligence displayed by Liu Ye were also extremely clever. Therefore, Li Ru'an had already considered Liu Ye as a confidant, and now he was considering Liu Ye wholeheartedly.
After Liu Ye heard Li Ru'an's instructions, he still nodded with gratitude and said: "Thank you, Master Supervisor, for your advice. I will try my best to be low-key and honest. Master Supervisor, are you willing to protect me like this?"
, the villain is naturally relieved to hand over all his wealth and life to the supervisor. As long as the villain can save his life this time, from now on, he will be tied to a grass ring and work as a cow or horse for the rest of his life to repay the kindness of the supervisor!
"
Li Ru'an nodded with satisfaction and said: "You can rest assured. Our family has a close relationship with the Imperial Envoy. If our family tries our best to protect your life, the Imperial Envoy will definitely give our family face. As long as it is the Imperial Envoy, he will
If I let you go, it will be easier for the court, and your life and fortune will naturally be safe. Maybe you can even get an official position by virtue of your contribution to helping our family quell the civil unrest."
Liu Ye said with a smile: "With the words of Lord Supervisor, I feel at ease. As long as I have the protection of Lord Supervisor, I don't have to worry about anything!"
Even so, Liu Ye's heart was still filled with tension and uneasiness.
Li Ru'an's various warnings not only failed to calm Liu Ye's nervousness, but made him even more uneasy.
The civil riots in Tianshui City are by no means a trivial matter. As one of the leaders of the rioters, Liu Ye is naturally responsible for serious crimes. Even killing the nine tribes is not an exaggeration. Although he quickly accepted the imperial order and assisted Li Ru
Liu Ye's meritorious performance in calming down the situation in Tianshui City was uncertain whether it could offset his own guilt.
Liu Ye originally thought that Li Ruan, as the eunuch sent by the imperial court to oversee the army in Shaanxi and Gansu, was one of the highest-ranking people in Shaanxi and Gansu. He must be able to pardon his crimes, so he would spare no effort to please him.
Li Ruan, help Li Ruan with all his heart.
However, through Li Ruan's repeated warnings during this period, Liu Yecai discovered that he had made a mistake in his judgment. It turned out that the situation in Shaanxi and Gansu had already been formed in which the imperial envoy Zhao Junchen said the same thing and acted arbitrarily. Even Li Ruan, as a military eunuch, was completely unable to compete.
.
In other words, Li Ruan cannot decide whether Liu Ye can pardon his crimes in the end. Everything depends on the attitude of the imperial envoy Zhao Junchen.
His own life and death can only be decided by others. How can Liu Ye feel at ease in this situation?
Especially according to Li Ruan's description, the imperial envoy Zhao Junchen is not only brilliant and intelligent, but also deep-tempered and has a strong personality. Not only is he one of the most powerful ministers in the imperial court, he now has the ability to annihilate 100,000 Mongolian coalition forces.
With his illustrious military exploits, he can be said to be one of the most important figures in the world today!
In the eyes of such a big shot, Liu Ye's existence is just like an ant, and he can be shot to death as long as he doesn't like it.
This may not be impossible. You must know that the civil unrest in Tianshui City almost affected the battle situation on the front line and almost ruined Zhao Junchen's plan to annihilate the Mongolian coalition forces. This will obviously arouse Zhao Junchen's hostility.
Although Li Ru'an has now vowed to Liu Ye that he will definitely save his life, if Zhao Junchen really wants to execute Liu Ye then, Li Ru'an will not even dare to fart.
This can be seen just by looking at Li Ruan's cautious and fearful attitude when talking about Zhao Junchen.
Li Ruan's attitude also made Liu Ye feel a little strange. Logically speaking, as a eunuch overseeing the army, no one should have the right to control Li Ruan in Shaanxi and Gansu. He should never be so respectful to Zhao Junchen.
Obviously, the clever methods of the imperial envoy Zhao Junchen were far beyond Liu Ye's imagination. When Li Ruan was in Tianshui City, he was very decisive in killing. Those corrupt officials and evil gentry who caused civil unrest were killed at will, but when faced with the situation, they were killed.
When dealing with Zhao Junchen, he was like a servant meeting his master, without any courage to resist at all.
Just when Li Ru'an and Liu Ye were each thinking, Zhao Junchen's confidant Niu Fude walked into the side hall quickly and said that Zhao Junchen was free now and was waiting for their visit in the main hall of the Governor's Mansion.
*
After Zhao Junchen repeatedly promised to Zhang Decheng that he would "never do it again", he finally got Zhang Decheng's concession and got the opportunity to summon Li Ru'an and Liu Ye to talk.
Soon, under the leadership of Niu Fude, Li Ruan and Liu Ye arrived at the main hall of the Governor's Mansion.
"Your Majesty the Imperial Envoy, our family has finally fulfilled its mission and has put down the civil unrest in Tianshui City. Now that the order in Tianshui City has been restored to its original state, our family has rushed back to resume life! After our family heard the good news about the Weishui River in Tianshui City,
It’s also a surprise. Congratulations to the imperial envoy for annihilating one hundred thousand Mongolian Tatars in one fell swoop. His military exploits are outstanding and his name will go down in history!”
After seeing Zhao Junchen, Li Ruan immediately bowed his hands and said what he had been preparing for a long time.
On the other side, Liu Ye immediately lowered his head and knelt in front of Zhao Junchen, saying in a trembling voice: "Sinner Liu Ye, please bow down to your Majesty the Imperial Envoy!"
When facing Zhang Decheng, Zhao Junchen always behaved kindly and never cared about Zhang Decheng's attitude. This was because Zhao Junchen admired Zhang Decheng's medical skills and ethics.
But when facing Li Ruan and Liu Ye, Zhao Junchen naturally changed his face.
Zhao Junchen completely ignored Liu Ye who was kneeling in front of him, and just nodded to Li Ruan with an indifferent expression, and said: "Thank you to Supervisor Li during this period. After learning the news that the situation in Tianshui City is stable, this imperial envoy also felt in his heart
I breathed a sigh of relief... We have not seen such large-scale civil unrest in the Ming Dynasty for many years. If Supervisor Li hadn't controlled the situation in time, we don't know how this matter would have ended."
Li Ruan quickly said: "Our family dare not take credit. Civil unrest will occur in Tianshui City, and it is also because of our poor supervision. It also almost ruined the imperial envoy's plan to destroy the enemy. Our family is just making up for the blame. This time our family
The rapid quelling of the civil unrest in Tianshui is all because of your full support, the Imperial Envoy!"
Zhao Junchen shook his head slightly and said: "The civil unrest in Tianshui City has indeed had a great impact. On the surface, I am a full-time imperial envoy responsible for disaster relief, but Tianshui City was destroyed because the victims failed to receive relief food and grass in time.
A riot broke out, and this is my fault for not doing things well! Although I have completely wiped out the Mongolian coalition forces now, and it seems that I have unlimited glory, but when I return to the capital, the political enemies in North Korea and China will definitely use this matter to criticize me.
It will be a hassle to deal with it then... Sigh, just thinking about it gives me a headache!"
Hearing what Zhao Junchen said, Liu Ye, who was kneeling on the ground, suddenly trembled and became more and more flustered. He felt that he was indeed being hostile to the imperial envoy Zhao Junchen.
Li Ruan hurriedly said: "Compared to your illustrious military exploits in annihilating the Mongolian coalition, Lord Imperial Envoy, the civil unrest in Tianshui City lasted for a short time and had little impact. After all, it was just a small matter, and the central government of the imperial court understood the truth.
There are a lot of people, so the flaws will definitely be revealed, so you don’t have to worry at all, Imperial Envoy!"
Zhao Junchen shook his head gently and no longer dwelled on the matter. He just said: "Li Jianjun, you have told me in detail how you have put down the civil unrest in Tianshui during this period. It also gave me a sense of confidence.
Although I received your letter today, the message is too simple after all."
After hearing Zhao Junchen's inquiry, Li Ru'an perked up and immediately told Zhao Junchen in detail how he calmed down the civil unrest in Tianshui City.
During the appeal, Li Ru'an focused on describing his decisiveness and determination, and also detailed Liu Ye's various meritorious services.
By doing this, Li Ru'an took the opportunity to show his ability to Zhao Junchen, and also took the opportunity to intercede with Zhao Junchen for Liu Ye.
After listening to Li Ru'an's story, Zhao Junchen still ignored Liu Ye, but after pondering for a moment, he asked Li Ru'an again: "You are the eunuch sent by the imperial court to oversee the army in Shaanxi and Gansu. Have you submitted secret documents to His Majesty on your own?"
We have the power to report to the court in a timely manner all the developments in Shaanxi and Gansu... Regarding the civil unrest in Tianshui City, have you sent a confidential report to His Majesty?"
Li Ruan nodded quickly and said: "This civil unrest in Tianshui City cannot be hidden from the imperial court no matter what. Naturally, our family wrote a secret letter to report the news to His Majesty! But please rest assured, Your Majesty the Imperial Envoy, our family will wait until it is settled."
After receiving the news of the great victory on the Weishui River, we sent this secret message to the capital. Moreover, in this secret message, our family took all the troubles of Zhao'an chaos on ourselves and would never affect the imperial envoy.
."
This time, Zhao Junchen showed his appreciation and said: "It is your Majesty's power to order people to be in peace. If you order people to be in peace without His Majesty's permission, it would be a crime of overstepping the bounds. If I am responsible for this matter, I will only
I'm afraid it will cause countless troubles, and His Majesty will be unhappy, but you are His Majesty's palace servant and represent His Majesty's dignity. It is naturally best for you to bear this matter alone. On the contrary, it reflects your consideration of the overall situation.
With Juejue, you might even get your Majesty’s appreciation!”
After a pause, Zhao Junchen suddenly asked: "I heard that the Royal Horse Eunuch plans to arrange you to the Royal Study Room and make you the chief eunuch of the Royal Study Room?"
Hearing Zhao Junchen's inquiry, Li Ru'an's heart suddenly skipped a beat.
Only Xu Sheng, the eunuch in charge of the royal horse supervisor, had mentioned this matter to him once. Unexpectedly, Zhao Junchen also received the news.
Li Ru'an didn't dare to hide anything and said quickly: "That's exactly what happened. Xu Sheng, the eunuch in charge of the imperial horse eunuch, mentioned it to our family once."
Zhao Junchen nodded and said: "This is a good thing. The eunuch of the imperial study can stay with your majesty for a long time. Once you gain his majesty's love, you will have a bright future in the future... You also showed your ability during the quelling of the civil unrest in Tianshui.
, I am now preparing a memorial for the Shaanxi-Gansu War, and I will also take the opportunity to say a few nice words for you. By then, no one will be able to compete with you for the position of the imperial study room. You must seize this opportunity!"
Li Ru'an was overjoyed when he heard Zhao Junchen's promise.
Didn't he rush from Tianshui City to Huamachi Camp this time just to get a good position in the memorial? He never thought that before he could take the initiative, Zhao Junchen had already made arrangements for him in advance.
Some.
So, Li Ruan quickly raised his hands and thanked him: "Thank you so much, Your Majesty the Imperial Envoy!"
At this time, Zhao Junchen finally turned his attention to Liu Ye, who was still kneeling in front of him. When Liu Ye knelt down, he not only buried his head on the ground, but also raised his buttocks, which was quite funny.
Zhao Junchen asked slowly: "Are you Liu Ye, the rebel leader who took the initiative to accept the imperial edict?"
Seeing that Zhao Junchen finally noticed him, Liu Ye quickly said: "The crime is exactly Liu Ye! The guilty people also know that this civil unrest in Tianshui almost ruined the imperial envoy's important event, so please punish the imperial envoy!"
Zhao Junchen waved his hand and said: "Li Jianjun has already issued an imperial edict on behalf of the imperial court to settle you down. You have also performed meritorious service. What's more, I can also see that Li Jianjun values you very much. Naturally, I will also pay tribute to Li Jianjun."
To save the army's face... So I won't pursue your involvement in the civil unrest this time. All we have to do is wait for the court's final decision. But with Li Jianjun's guarantee, it shouldn't be a big problem to save your life.
."
Hearing what Zhao Junchen said, Liu Ye was immediately overjoyed and said quickly: "Thank you, Your Majesty the Imperial Envoy! Thank you so much, Your Majesty the Imperial Envoy!"
Zhao Junchen shook his head slightly, turned to look at Li Ru'an again, and said: "Li Jianjun, I have been feeling unwell during this period and urgently need to rest. Now that the matter in Tianshui City has been resolved, I will not keep you here."
When Li Ruan heard Zhao Junchen's expression, he naturally did not dare to stay any longer and quickly led Liu Ye away.
Looking at the departing figures of Li Ruan and Liu Ye, Zhao Junchen looked thoughtful.
After a while, Zhao Junchen ordered Niu Fude who was standing aside: "Send someone to Tianshui City to find out everything about Liu Ye, and then try to control all his relatives... After these things are done, you personally
Talk to this Liu Ye and let him become Li Ru'an's confidant on the surface, but secretly work for me, and tell him that I will not treat him badly in the future."
After hearing Zhao Junchen's instructions, Niu Fude's eyes flashed slightly and he immediately accepted the order.
Since Li Ru'an entered the palace, his personality has become more and more extreme, and he also has the idea of getting out of Zhao Junchen's control. Zhao Junchen can naturally see this and will naturally take precautions.
Now, Li Ru'an wants to recruit Liu Ye as his confidant, which is Zhao Junchen's good opportunity!
Zhao Junchen could see that Liu Ye was a rational and indifferent person. It was not difficult to control such a person. As long as the interests were clearly laid out for him, he would automatically make a choice.
Today, Zhao Junchen deliberately talked with Li Ruan about some confidential matters in front of Liu Ye, just to let Liu Ye understand the subordinate relationship between Zhao Junchen and Li Ruan.
*
Zhao Junchen has always cherished his life and was afraid of death, so he naturally had to follow Zhang Decheng's medical instructions seriously.
Therefore, after Li Ruan and Liu Ye left, Zhao Junchen gave Niu Fude a few instructions and planned to go back to rest.
But at this moment, Su Xiqing hurriedly appeared again and reported: "Your Majesty the Imperial Envoy, we have just received news that Liang Fuchen, Mr. Liang Ge, and Xu Qingyan appeared at the West Road Station of Chang'an Prefecture. According to their
Judging from the itinerary, we will arrive at Huamachi Camp the day after tomorrow at the latest... In addition, Commander Guan Wu Yuanguan has led the Forbidden Army reinforcements to the Weishui River and will also arrive at Huamachi Camp in the next few days."
After hearing the report, Zhao Junchen shook his head helplessly and sighed: "Li Ru'an, Liang Fuchen, Guan Wuyuan, and then there will be governors and general soldiers from all over Shaanxi and Gansu. One after another, they came to Huamachi Camp, and they
It's really lively... It seems that in the next few days, there will be an influx of people from all walks of life, and I will spend a lot of time to deal with everyone, and there will be no chance to rest? I'm afraid I will make Dr. Zhang Shen angry..."
