In the cell, Xiao Chen put his hands behind his back and looked at Sun Qianhu quietly opposite with a smile.
Sun Qianhu took a step forward and raised his head: "That day, the commander summoned us all to the camp..."
It turned out that that day was the beginning of the month, and it was also the day when the Yanqing Guards routinely reported on the military affairs of the previous month and arranged the military affairs for the month.
After receiving the order from the messenger, the four of them rushed to the Yanqing Guard commander's camp early in the morning.
Inside the camp, Huang Anliang was dressed in casual clothes with a smile on his face: "Everyone has had a hard journey, please take a seat."
Looking at the smiling commander, the four of them were a little puzzled.
This commander is not like this normally. Is there any happy event today?
According to the usual positions for discussing military affairs, the four of them sat on their own chairs.
"Everyone, we are not going to talk about military affairs today, but just have a casual chat and serve tea to the four thousand households." With a smile on his face, Huang Anliang stated the main purpose of today and gave instructions to the orderlies behind him.
"Instead of talking about military affairs, let's talk about chatting?" The four of them wondered for a while.
The four of them are all members of the army, and they have their own defensive positions. They have traveled dozens of miles just to come back and chat?
The four thousand households would not believe this statement.
"Commander, you haven't seen us for a long time. You miss us. Hahaha..." Sun Qianhu, who has always been bold and bold, took the lead in responding.
"Well, I've been outside all this time and haven't had time to come back. In fact, we also miss the commander a little bit..."
"Yeah, long time no see, I miss you so much..."
"..."
Although they all had doubts in their hearts, no one among the four raised any questions.
This is the Yanqing Guard Commander, his immediate superior.
If you don't do it right, you will lose the black hat on your head. If you try to put a crime on your head and try to stand up, I'm afraid it will be impossible.
Not to mention the fact that Huang Anliang personally ordered his son-in-law to be beheaded. This matter was known to everyone in Yanqing Guard.
In the blink of an eye, hot tea was served.
The four of them looked at each other, picked up their tea bowls and took a sip.
"We, the Yanqing Guards, also followed the emperor and fought many big battles. We faced powerful enemies and charged bravely without flinching."
Picking up the tea beside him and taking a sip, Huang Anliang continued: "To the emperor and the court, we have always been loyal and loyal without any second thoughts. The four of you here are my right-hand men, and together we support the entire Yanqing Guard.
Serve the country and be loyal to the emperor."
"Resolutely follow the commander, be loyal to the country, relieve the court from worries, go through fire and water, no matter what."
Upon hearing Huang Anliang's demonstration of merit, the four of them hurriedly shouted the Yanqing Guard's slogan.
This slogan already existed when the four of them joined the Yanqing Guard.
In the Yanqing Guard, there is an unwritten rule that whenever the commander speaks, whether in front of the army or inside the camp, as long as he hears the words "Emperor" and "Court", he must shout this slogan.
Don't be afraid if you shout too much. If you don't shout when everyone else is shouting, what awaits you will definitely be a disguised punishment.
Huang Anliang smiled and waved his hand, signaling everyone to stop.
"Among our guards, the one who receives the most favor from the Emperor is undoubtedly the Jinyiwei. The Jinyiwei acted vigorously and resolutely, and in a short period of time, they brought down all the worms in the court. However, precisely because of the Emperor's favor,
, we encountered the extremes of some people.”
Having said this, Huang Anliang stood up with endless anger on his face.
"Among these jealous people, the ones who are most jealous of the Jin Yiwei are undoubtedly those eunuchs who accompany the emperor all day long, and have little success but more than failure. They use their own convenient conditions to fabricate some unfounded charges and put the Jin Yiwei in front of the commander.
Ji Gang, Master Ji, was falsely accused and became a criminal, and was executed late outside the Meridian Gate."
Huang Anliang raised his right hand and hit the table hard.
"What are eunuchs? They are not complete people. Their psychology has been completely distorted by the physical disability. They are cruel, perverted, and narrow-minded."
Four thousand households sat quietly below, listening to Huang Anliang's speech.
However, the imperial edict stated that Ji Gang was executed outside the Meridian Gate by the Emperor Lingchi because he used the imperial prison to create unjust cases and secretly built more than 10,000 weapons.
Seeing how excited the commander was, could it be that Ji Gang was really wronged and framed to death?
However, the Jinyi Guards and the Yanqing Guards cannot be beaten with eight poles. Why is the commander so excited?
Pretending to listen to Huang Anliang's words seriously, everyone had countless question marks in their hearts.
As he said that, Huang Anliang picked up a yellow edict from the table: "This is the emperor's recent edict to the world. It just arrived at Yanqing Guard yesterday. You can read it one by one."
With that said, he handed the edict to Sun Qianhu, who was at the top.
The four people read it one by one, and then passed the edict back to Huang Anliang.
After taking the edict and throwing it casually on the table, Huang Anliang said: "What do you think of this moment?"
As he spoke, his eyes swept across the faces of the four people one by one.
Although the four of them are not extremely smart, how can they not have the ability to observe people's emotions even if they have reached the position of thousands of households in front of the army.
What is this edict? These are the words of the emperor, and they represent the emperor.
Regardless of your rank, as long as you are a citizen of the Ming Dynasty, regardless of your position, you must treat the imperial edict with respect.
But Huang Anliang took the edict and threw it casually on the table.
This kind of behavior, for Huang Anliang, who has always been rigorous, is definitely not a casual behavior because of emotion.
He was sending a signal: he was dissatisfied with the emperor, or, it could also be understood that he was dissatisfied with the content of the edict.
But he did not say clearly that he had given the initiative to the four people.
As the eldest of the four, Sun Qianhu, how could he not understand what his old boss was thinking and waiting for.
Huang Anliang's attitude has become extremely obvious. At this time, if anyone refutes his position, what awaits him will be the same outcome as Huang Anliang's treatment of his son-in-law.
However, if he was asked to rely solely on Huang Anliang's words, he would no longer believe the court's previous characterization of Ji Gang, the former commander of the Jinyi Guards. He could not stand up and accuse the emperor by scolding the eunuch, and he did not dare to do it.
!
"What, did you not read the edict clearly, or is there something wrong? Feel free to express your opinions and say whatever you think in your heart."
Huang Anliang smiled and glanced at the four people, but there was a hint of coldness in his eyes.
