Moreover, although the Zhao Guan family did not let the ministers in the line be too worried this time, and even felt a sense of cooperation and happiness, under the chaotic situation, even if the emperor and his ministers were united, they wanted to appease tens of thousands of soldiers, especially three thousand among them.
How easy is it to fight for Liu Guangshi's injustice at the headquarters of the Western Army?
After an hour of tossing, the reward order was spread throughout the army. After a burst of cheers, there was a huge quarrel over who would lead first and who would lead last. After Lu Haowen and Zhang Jun summoned the officers who were the most active in causing trouble.
, Zhao Guan's family seemed to have already rewarded all the Banzhi, but after giving some instructions, he personally took Yang Yizhong to the small village on the top of the mountain.
However, before he reached the big tent in the middle, Zhao Jiu could hear the noise in the tent, as if Lu and Zhang were unable to control the situation.
"Official!" Yang Yizhong saw Zhao Jiu about to step forward, but he was anxious for a moment and stepped sideways to stop him.
"It doesn't matter, they would have rebelled a long time ago. They are making a fuss now, either because they want more rewards, or because they deliberately want to run south to avoid the war. They have no intention of dealing with me!" Zhao Jiu said calmly, and then said directly
He stepped forward and walked in between the two gatekeepers who had just received the reward and were saluting in a panic.
Yang Yizhong had no choice but to follow in panic.
Besides, Zhao Jiu was wearing a red robe with a round collar, a hard-winged turban on his head, and a special gold belt around his waist. As soon as he entered, he felt a wave of heat rushing towards his face.
The group of naughty Western soldiers in the tent actually had some shape at first. But firstly, Lu Haowen had a good temper, secondly, Zhang Jun was young, thirdly, Qiao Zhongfu, and Zhang Jing was preparing rewards below but had not yet arrived, so after several trials,
Coupled with the instigation of others, the tent gradually became unbearable, and now it took on different shapes.
But no matter what, when they suddenly saw a young man dressed like that entering, especially since many people had seen this face before, the group of people instantly felt a chill coming from the tent door, and then they all
Lose your voice.
"It's a rule in the army now that you don't salute the emperor when you see him?" Zhao Jiu waved away the heat wave, sat down at the place where Lu Haowen hurriedly got up, and then calmly asked.
After all, he is the real emperor. Seeing this, all the officers of the Western Army dared to talk nonsense again. Under the leadership of several experienced officers, they arranged themselves according to their rank, bowed and saluted and said hello.
"Get up." Zhao Jiu raised his hand to signal, but he only asked these people to stand up and had no intention of letting them sit down.
Many officers looked at each other, secretly frightened, and some who didn't know how to do it turned around to sit down, but then turned back and stood up in a hurry. However, the fright quickly disappeared.
Because Zhao Guanjia was sitting there. Although his face was expressionless, he spoke seriously and straight to the point:
"Today is about to celebrate the New Year, but it has not yet been celebrated. I am only twenty-one years old, and I am just a free agent in the city of Tokyo. It is just because the country has undergone such great changes that I have to be an official, so I really don't know how to do it.
You have made many twists and turns, but today I will simply speak out... Everyone, in the face of a powerful enemy, why are you making such a fuss? If you don't make it clear, how can I know your intentions? It's because you are embarrassed by the golden man.
Chased and hurried across the river, did you lose your accumulated wealth? Are you still complaining about Liu Guangshi? Or are you used to being frightened by the Jin people and don't want to join the army anymore? "
There was silence in the tent for a moment.
"One by one, you can't escape." Zhao Jiu pointed to the person at the front. He remembered that when he just came in, this person was baring his teeth and claws at Zhang Jun. "What's your name, what's your position, and where are you from? Why are you making so much noise?
Chaos, why are you unwilling to listen even when the prime minister and the censor Zhongcheng come together to persuade you?"
"My name is Zhang Yongzhen!" This man was in his thirties and extremely tall. When he cupped his hands, the tattoos on his hands were revealed. However, he gritted his teeth and spoke with his head raised. "Now I am the imperial camp Liu... I am directly under the command of Lieutenant Liu to prepare for Long!
Right man! This time... this time there is a chaos here, I am the chief culprit, and I have been arrested again. The officials want to kill or cut into pieces, but I have nothing to say!"
"I asked you why you want to cause chaos, not who you want to kill or chop!" Zhao Jiu sat still, his expression unchanged. "Is it for money, Liu Guangshi, or is he afraid of the Jin and just wants to escape?
?”
"I...I have some reasons for everything." Zhang Yongzhen was forced to have no choice but to bite the bullet and reply. "I was originally in Yan'an Mansion, and my wife's children were all there, and I spent more than ten years in the army, and I got mixed up.
The official rank was not big or small, but it suddenly disappeared when the Jin people came years ago! I... I followed Liu Taiwei to find an official family in Hebei. From then on, I retreated all the way south, getting farther and farther away from home.
I don’t know what it’s like to the west. Did the Jin invade Yan’an Prefecture? Did the wife of Chen’s family abandon their children and remarry? Anyway, I just retreated south. The further south I retreated, the more I thought about it! I finally suppressed the bandits and saved some property.
As a result, everything was lost when they fled south this time! After crossing the river for just one night, Liu Taiwei, who had been following him for a long time, was killed by the officials again... He didn't even know where the future was, so he couldn't help but talk to the ministers and ministers.
They started making noise!"
"I understand." Zhao Jiu stared at this person and was silent for a long time before speaking, but his tone softened a lot. "Actually, why don't I miss home? I was dreaming about the past before I killed Liu Guangshi last night! But!
The situation is like this, what should I do if I really can’t go back? There is also the matter of killing Liu Guangshi. In the final analysis, is it not because I miss home too much? "
Lu, Zhang, and Yang, who were standing next to Zhao Jiu in the tent, were all smart people. They thought about it after hearing the words. Although the general Zhang named Zhang didn't know what the relationship between killing Liu Guangshi and homesickness was, he heard the official's sincere tone.
I can only bow my head.
"I understand what you mean." Zhao Jiu continued to calm down slightly. "You are homesick, you want property, you are aggrieved by Liu Guangshi, all three... right?"
"Yes!" Zhang Yongzhen came to her senses and admitted through gritted teeth.
"Since you are homesick, you don't want to give up your official position and run south, right?" Zhao Jiu suddenly asked again. "You won't be frightened by the Jin people, right?"
"Of course!" Zhang Yongzhen responded immediately. "Although I am indeed a little afraid of the Jin people, that's because I know I can't beat him, and I won't go as far as the officials want me to."
"I understand, please sit down." Zhao Jiu pointed with his finger, and Zhang Yongzhen was confused and sat down on a seat in the tent.
But Zhao Guanjia pointed at another person casually.
In this way, there were a total of seventy or eighty officers in the tent, with huge differences in official ranks. At first, some people did not dare to show off in front of Zhao Jiu, and admitted their mistakes throughout the process. But later, they saw that this official was indeed sincere, and there was nothing wrong with admitting it.
, but gradually I spoke out my true feelings, and the reasons were varied.
Almost everyone had the reason for fleeing and losing their belongings when crossing the river. More than half of them admitted that they were aggrieved by Liu Guangshi, and 20 to 30% of them mentioned that they wanted to go back to their hometown in Kansai. A dozen people also admitted that they wanted a sum of money.
With the intention of quitting the army and settling down in the south, a few people even said that they had always been singles in their wombs and had not had a wife for decades. They heard that the official family had previously granted Ban Zhigongren, so they thought it would be best to coax them out of the palace.
The official family is here to find a wife, so they are making noise.
In this regard, Zhao Jiu listened attentively throughout the whole process, but did not say anything superfluous.
This process seemed cumbersome, but the answers were simple and straightforward. After all seventy or eighty people had finished speaking and sat down, it only took a quarter of an hour.
"Let me talk about two things first." Zhao Jiu waited until everyone was seated before saying. "Everyone wants wealth. I have prepared it for you. It is richer than ordinary soldiers. You can go find it later."
Mr. Lu Xianggong leads... This is what we have agreed upon before."
Led by Zhang Yongzhen, a group of officers wanted to stand up and thank the officials and the prime minister, but Zhao Jiu raised his hand to stop him: "When I finish speaking... there are still people who want to marry me. I will tell you nothing, there is now a palace here in Bagong Mountain."
There is no one, and the laundry is done by the servants. If you don’t believe it, you can go and take a look after today. There is nothing to avoid, so I can’t deal with the matter of begging my wife.”
Hearing this, although there was no laughter in the tent, there was a sense of relief.
"There are those who are interceding for Liu Guangshi. I have something to say first... I know that Liu Guangshi is usually generous and considerate, but in this matter, I have absolutely nothing to say. Whoever was aggrieved for him just now should go to Zhang Zhongcheng to lead ten
Military stick!" Zhao Jiu suddenly sounded stern. "Otherwise, there will be no reward!"
The tent immediately became solemn. Many people looked at each other secretly, but no one dared to speak privately.
ps: Happy New Year everyone! I wish you all a fortune in the New Year!
Finished at 11:40, I hope I will have eaten by the time you read this chapter.
