Chapter 195: Ask the voice to know the world's son
A loud crash broke the silence in the room.
Huang Cheng looked at the teacup that was smashed on the ground, and the congratulations from the court during the day still lingered in his ears.
"What's going on?" He raised his head and looked at the men standing in front of him, "Why is it related to Duke Cheng Guo? Why don't we have any news at all?"
A man stood up with his head lowered.
"Because aid is not allowed and Kaide Mansion is isolated, the news there is relatively limited." He said in a low voice.
"Then you're saying that it's my own fault?" Huang Cheng pointed at himself and said.
The man was so frightened that he knelt down.
"Sir, the little ones don't dare. The little ones don't dare." He kowtowed repeatedly and said.
Others were even more breathless and silent.
Huang Cheng took a few deep breaths.
"Say." He said in a deep voice.
The man knelt on the ground and answered yes.
"Just like what was said, Ding Dashan and several people joined forces to do it. They insisted that they received instructions from Duke Cheng Guo." He said.
Huang Cheng sneered.
"Gong Cheng is busy with military affairs, so he knows who they are," he said.
These military leaders are at most the general banners, and there are as many general banners in the whole North as stars. How could Duke Cheng know so clearly, and also know that there is a secret secret in Kaide Mansion.
These people and the Duke of Shicheng will definitely inquire about it. As long as he inquires, it is impossible that there will be no clues, and it is impossible that he will not know any news.
What went wrong?
Huang Cheng stopped.
Zhu Zan.
"Is there any news about Prince Chengguo?" he asked in a deep voice.
The man shook his head.
"Not yet." He said.
Huang Cheng sneered.
"Good father, good son, grasshopper on a rope." He said, "Of course we work together."
Raise your hand and flick your sleeve.
"Zhu Zan must be in Kaide Mansion. Dig three feet of ground for me."
All the men in the room responded in unison.
…………………………………………
The howling wind in the wilderness in the middle of winter can make people feel chilly in a moment. However, the densely packed people standing in front of the gate of Kaidefu City are not timid at all. Instead, all of them have red faces and excited expressions.
"Have everything been cleaned up inside and outside the city?" Ding Dashan thought of something and turned around and asked.
Wang Jun, who was wearing a new, ill-fitting military uniform that he didn't know where he came from, glared at him.
"I've cleaned it up eight hundred times, and the ground is clean enough for someone to slip on." He said, "Ding Dashan, can you stop being so timid? This person hasn't even come here yet, and you're so scared. When you see the imperial envoy,
You and the guerrilla generals, please don’t wet your pants.”
These words made everyone around him burst into laughter.
Ding Dashan spat with a red face, because the crowd surged with laughter, and some people squeezed forward to stand.
Although this movement was very subtle, it was immediately noticed by Ding Dashan.
"Mao, you click back and steal the limelight again." He glared at a middle-aged military attache with a burly figure and a cold expression and yelled.
Mao Juntou snorted.
"We are also killing the enemy to serve the country, how can we claim to be stealing the limelight?" he said.
Ding Dashan angrily tried to refute, but Wang Juntou and others stabbed him from behind.
"Coming!" they shouted in a different tone.
Ding Dashan suddenly tensed up. He no longer cared about Mao Jun's efforts to steal the limelight. He looked up and saw a dense guard of flags and honors appearing in front of him, with a great momentum.
This was the first time they had seen this scene in their entire lives, and they were immediately afraid to speak and looked nervous.
The men and horses came very quickly. As they got closer, they could see the flags with various words written on them. Ding Dashan couldn't recognize them all and didn't care to look at them. He only watched the dazzling honor guard get out of the way in front of the city gate and walked out of the Anli Army.
There are a series of high-ranking officials and generals in it, including moral, defensive and guerrilla generals.
These are the people that he, a young military leader, could only see from a distance in the past, but today he came here specifically for them.
Not only these generals, but also a civil servant and a chamberlain holding a bright yellow imperial edict.
After receiving the imperial edict, his name went down in history, green smoke rose from the graves of the Ding family's ancestors, and Ding Dashan trembled with excitement.
"Mao Tietou, sir."
Someone rushed past him, kowtowed to the adults in front of him, and said loudly.
This grandson! If it weren’t for the fact that he also fought bravely to kill the enemy, he would have been hacked to death.
Ding Dashan cursed in his heart and rushed to greet him.
Then everything was carried out according to the pre-arranged arrangement. The emperor's imperial edict was read out in public, and eight people including Ding Dashan were awarded, promoted, and given titles. Their parents and children also received rewards.
Seeing the giggling military leaders standing in front of others, the generals of the Anli Army felt very jealous.
Speaking of which, these people acted privately and had no information at all. As a result, they now get no credit at all.
If they had left it at other times, they would have taken the credit, but unfortunately this time it was of great significance. Kaide Mansion was very important to the emperor. They did not dare to use tricks at this time, let alone threaten these few people.
The military leader who can't even remember his name.
Next, the imperial envoys visited the soldiers who killed the enemy, each with a reward, and generously compensated the dead soldiers. After entering the city, they comforted the people who had escaped death, and paid homage to the prefect and other officials and citizens who died defending the city.
It was noisy and weeping and laughing until noon before we went into the government office to rest.
Ding Dashan and the other seven people put on new official robes and waited excitedly in front of the imperial envoy and other officials. They still talked about how they hated the Jin soldiers, how they planned to kill the enemy, and how they did all this.
"Then this is an order from Duke Cheng Guo. Can there be correspondence?" a general asked suddenly.
Ding Dashan shook his head.
"There is no correspondence. Duke Cheng Guo sent a messenger." Mao Tietou answered quickly.
"The messenger will go back after delivering the message." Ding Dashan said hurriedly, unwilling to lag behind.
The general didn't pay attention to the fight between the two men and nodded thoughtfully.
That is to say, there is no physical evidence, just words.
If you say that as long as you have the right caliber, you can say whatever you want.
The imperial envoy and the others were tired from the long journey and chatted for a while before changing clothes and resting. Ding Dashan and the others had no time to rest. They were asked here and there by their colleagues who were not familiar with them and congratulated them with jealousy or admiration.
Ding Dashan and others began to talk about the recapture of Kaide Mansion again, but an inconspicuous man suddenly interrupted.
"Have you seen the Crown Prince Cheng Guo here?" He asked in a conspiratorial manner, "Could that messenger be the Crown Prince Cheng Guo?"
These sudden words made the noisy hall suddenly quiet.
The man's gaze swept across the expressions of Ding Dashan and the others. Their expressions were blank and without any pretense.
"No," they said in confusion, "Absolutely not."
"We have received a wanted order for Prince Cheng Guo, and it has been posted." Wang Juntou said, "It is absolutely impossible not to recognize him, and it is even more impossible to conceal it. Your Excellency will investigate clearly."
Just because I asked after checking, the man smiled faintly.
"The gold thieves have been expelled, and you adults should take this matter to heart," he said, "in order to avoid disturbing the military and national laws and shaking people's hearts."
Ding Dashan and others hurriedly stood up and answered yes.
………………………………
As night fell, the imperial envoy and others left the city. Kaide Mansion did not entertain or celebrate the feast. The defenders remained the same, and the sentries also performed their duties.
Ding Dashan and others walked into a barracks and looked at Lao Jiu and others in the room.
"You are leaving tomorrow?" Ding Dashan asked.
"What? You want us to help you defend the city?" Lao Jiu asked.
This man is good at everything, but he always chokes when he talks... But at this moment, Ding Dashan and others will not be dissatisfied with his attitude.
"We just felt it was too hasty." Ding Dashan said, rubbing his hands and his face turned red, "What's more, you didn't get anything..."
"What we deserve will naturally go somewhere." Lao Jiu interrupted him.
This man spoke so crisply and neatly that Ding Dashan had no choice but to put away his politeness.
"Oh, by the way." He suddenly thought of something and looked at Lao Jiu, "Do you know the Crown Prince Cheng Guo?"
"Of course I do." Lao Jiu immediately replied, "Who is a young man like Duke Chengguo who has the wisdom to rule the country and secure the country at a young age, a young man with both talent and beauty, a benevolent, righteous and chivalrous spirit, and a wise and mighty warrior?
