With few against many, I only injured a few people, but killed all the assassins several times my own. The performance of the Imperial Guard Battalion this time was really remarkable.
Zhou Ping, who is the Minister of the Ministry of War, looked at the several guards with admiration in his eyes. He, the Minister of the Ministry of War, did not see many such soldiers.
Li Ling came over to ask for instructions and said: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please drive back to the palace. This matter has a lot of implications. I will be worried that someone will take risks."
Li Qing glanced at the mess around him and said in a gloomy tone:
"Hey, even if I leave the palace, I can ruin this family's good business. I am really unworthy of my own people."
Qian Qianyi said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, don't blame yourself. Although the boss's stall was destroyed because of us, the boss will also benefit from another aspect. Your Majesty has sat on these tables and chairs. From now on, this stall will
The reputation will get bigger and bigger, and it will be hard for me to come back."
After this stall became famous, some people who asked Qian Qianyi to do something, but couldn't see anyone in Qian's Mansion, would come here to wait and see, hoping to ask Qian Qianyi for help.
Su Lu's tone was helpless: "Your Majesty, you only paid attention to this stall, and we will just compensate him. Li Ling just said that it involves a lot of things. Your Majesty, there is going to be a rebellion everywhere in this capital."
Li Qing came to his senses and said, "No, no one would dare to rebel as long as you suppress them."
Su Lu raised his chin to Li Ling next to him and said, "Tell me, who Dingxiang Guard has already discovered participated in this treasonous assassination."
Ping Qi from the side stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, let me tell you, this assassination was planned by the Minister of Justice, Lu, and the officials involved were Li Conzheng, the chief of the Fourth Department of the Ministry of Husbandry, Li Weizheng, Li He, Li Shangyin, Ning
Ji Lan, the general manager of the palace, and Li Xun, the young prince of Weibeihou Mansion, are involved in no less than twenty clans. "
"This is the roster that I have written temporarily. Please take a look at it, Your Majesty."
Qi Qi presented a brochure.
Li Qing's body trembled, his face turned pale, and he looked at Su Lu:
"These are all my relatives. I met them in Zongzheng Mansion a few days ago. I encouraged them to do their jobs well, and I also gave young people who met me official positions. How come they suddenly want to rebel?
."
Su Lu patted Li Qing's arm and said in a gentle tone:
"The hearts of the people are weak and snakes swallow the elephants. They benefited from being deceived by the treacherous villains around them and gave up their own principles. This shows that they themselves are not good people. They just took this opportunity to catch these worms in one fell swoop."
"I also blame you for this matter. As the emperor of a country, you just go to Zongzheng Mansion and let them come to see you in the palace. When you go to Zongzheng Mansion, even though you seem to be a polite and virtuous corporal, you take care of the clan."
"But it also makes them feel that your temperament is weak and can be bullied. The original majesty is gone, and naturally there is no awe in their hearts. Sooner or later, the rebellious spirit will inevitably breed. Now that there are outsiders adding fuel to the flames, they naturally hit it off."
Li Qing's face turned pale and he hugged Su Lu's arm: "Then I will listen to you this time. I won't pay attention to anyone who comes to the door asking for help."
Su Lu patted Li Qing's arm and told Gao Zhan: "Call the driver and drive back to the palace."
Before getting into the car, Su Lu told Gao Zhan: "Don't forget to pay the boss. We are in a small business and life is not easy."
The boss and his wife knelt on the ground and watched the car drive away. The wife asked the boss:
"That Mr. Qian just said that we are going to be famous. Master, how can we become famous?"
A young man in Tsing Yi scholar's uniform entered the shed and said to the landlady with a smile:
"It's natural to be famous. Madam boss, I want to negotiate a deal with you. I'll buy a set of these tables and benches for twice the price."
The boss jumped up, ran over and put away the stools where Li Qing and Su Lu had been sitting, and said cautiously:
"Don't even think about buying my chair. Your Majesty and the prince have sat on it. I won't sell it for any price."
The smile on Shizi's face froze. His intention was to buy this set of tables and chairs. Unexpectedly, the boss's reaction was not quick and he was immediately blocked.
"Boss, I'll pay four times the price."
Another scholar came over, stretched out four fingers and said to the boss.
"I will pay ten taels of silver."
This is a businessman hiding in a shed eating vermicelli soup, witnessing the whole process, holding a large piece of silver in his hand.
In an instant, the stall was surrounded by people, and all kinds of money were stretched towards the faces of the boss and his wife.
"I'll pay twenty taels"
"I don't have enough money. If you wait a little longer, I will give you forty taels."
"I don't need to wait. Sixty taels is a lot of official silver."
…
Su Lu returned to the palace, comforted Li Qingyi, and persuaded her to rest first.
"Your Majesty, General Mingwei Li Lu has asked to see you. He said that he has something he needs to ask for your permission."
Gao Zhan appeared in the palace at some unknown time, stood behind Su Lu, and spoke in a low voice.
Su Lu nodded, followed Gao Zhan out of the palace, and gave instructions:
"Any request from the clan for an audience will be blocked by you. Don't bother Your Majesty anymore."
"It's the same with Da Zongzheng coming. Li Weiyuan is getting more and more confused. What can he do if he is patriotic? He only causes me trouble and doesn't know how to repent."
While the two were talking, Li Lu entered the hall under the guidance of a guard and saluted Su Lu.
"The general has finally met the prince, prince Jin An."
Su Lu waved his hand and asked Li Lu, "How come you have time to come to the capital when you are not guarding the Qin region? If something happens in the West region, be careful that I take you into military law."
Li Lu looked embarrassed: "Your Majesty, what I want to ask for when I come to see you is not a big thing, but it's not a small thing either."
Su Lu laughed: "You know how to beat around the bush, tell me, what are the big and small things?"
Li Lu stood up and spoke: "When I was serving in the Puppet Dynasty, I had an acquaintance who was a veteran of the Black Flag Army. Because he injured his leg, he retired from the army and did some small business to make a living. Later, the Puppet Dynasty
The two sons of this old army were destroyed. One was killed by the barbarians in western Liaoning, and the other followed General Xiang Chong to Liangzhou."
"Old Jun begged me to save his son's life. I owe Lao Jun a lot and really don't know what to do, so I took this opportunity to convey military information to beg the prince."
Su Lu thought of Uncle Fu. If Li Lu was right, the old army he mentioned should be Uncle Fu.
"Uncle Fu's current military position has been transferred to the local guard's office. The honor and money alone will be enough for the old man to have a worry-free life for the rest of his life."
"If you want your son back, you may not be able to be filial to him until he grows old. So why bother?"
Li Lu lowered his head and said nothing.
Su Lu sighed: "I wrote a letter to Xiang Chong, hoping that he can give me, the old governor, some face, but I can't guarantee whether it will happen or not."
Li Lu became excited: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, General Xiang Chong has a rough temperament and is very nostalgic. Although Your Majesty is not his commander-in-chief, you took great care of General Xiang Chong back then, and General Xiang Chong will definitely be willing to take care of him."
Su Lu ordered someone to come in with pen and paper, started writing a letter, and asked Li Lu casually.
"What news are you delivering this time? Cao Hua actually agreed to your personal trip. This news is not simple, isn't it?"
Li Lu's expression changed: "To be honest with the prince, this news is indeed a bit big. A delegation from the Taixi people has come, and they have also brought a new type of crossbow that they have recently built. A crossbow that can destroy a city in one blow."
