The Golden Age Chapter 830: Pseudo-propagation imperial decree
On July 23rd, Qin Xiao set off from Hangzhou and went north to Kyoto.
Yuwen Chengchao had already divided the Loyalty Army into two before that, one was led by Zhao Shengtai to Suzhou for garrison, and the remaining 3,000 troops were responsible for escorting the convoy into Beijing.
Qin Xiao was not half-distracted about the team's affairs. Lin Hong made arrangements from beginning to end, and he also followed this trip to Beijing.
More than two hundred carriages, not only drew most of the horses of the Hangzhou family, but also drew a part from the government. The outside only said that they were transporting silk tea to Kyoto. After all, they transported a large number of gold and silver treasures into Beijing and spread it out. Naturally, it will attract a lot of criticism.
All the boxes are covered with a layer of linen, plus the food and water needed on the way, the convoy winds like a long dragon.
This time, I searched three million taels of silver from the south of the Yangtze River and sent it to Kyoto to give it to the palace. Qin Xiao naturally felt disdainful in his heart. The emperor was so nostalgic for property, but he also knew in his heart that this amount of silver really couldn't be used for anything. error.
For the Jiangnan family, this is money for their lives. For the palace, this money is indispensable to maintain a luxurious life.
For Qin Xiao himself, of course, this money is also a bargaining chip to gain the appreciation of the saint. As long as the money is sent to Kyoto and handed over to the palace, the life of the Jiangnan family will be preserved, and the saint will benefit, and he will also benefit. , Everyone is happy.
Qin Xiao is not in a hurry, and there are official roads along the way from Jiangnan to Kyoto, so Qin Xiao tries to avoid rushing in broad daylight, unless it is some special terrain to avoid encountering bandits, other times On the road at night.
In this way, it won't be too ostentatious.
Although the team is guarded by three thousand soldiers and horses, and there will not be a large number of bandits on the road to Kyoto, but it is still cautious on the way.
It has been more than two months since I came to Jiangnan, but I hope to see Qiuniang who is alone in the empty room as soon as possible, but she often thinks of Musk Moon in her mind.
Before She Yue returned to Beijing, the two showed their true feelings and enjoyed themselves overnight. They were separated in a blink of an eye. However, when he entered Beijing this time, he might not even see Mus Yue. He wondered if he had anything. Way to meet each other, but as Musk reminded, at this time, to gain the trust of the saint, the farther away from Musk Moon, the better. If you show too much care and even closeness to Musk Moon, you will inevitably arouse the suspicion of the saint, and even Bring great trouble.
The motorcade is in charge of Lin Hong, and the escorted soldiers are commanded by Yuwen Chengchao, and Qin Xiao can be regarded as free on this road.
At the time of departure, Chen Xi’s injuries were still not healed, but Xiao Jianzhi was still in Hangzhou, and Qin Xiaodao didn’t have to worry about Chen Xi, but Qin Xiao was a little confused. The murderer of Xiahouning had been determined to be Jiangu. Xiao Jianzhi should return to Beijing to tell the saint himself, but he still stays in Hangzhou without knowing what he intends to do.
He didn't know if his cheap master had left Jiangnan, but even if Xiao Jianzhi found Yaoshi Shen's traces in Hangzhou, with Yaoshi Shen's current strength in the Great Heaven Realm, Xiao Jianzhi could not help him.
It suddenly occurred to him that Xiao Jianzhi's trip was probably not just for Xiahouning's case.
In the past few years, Jiangnan has always been in the sphere of influence of Musk Moon. Because of his scruples, the Ziyi Supervisor did not deploy a large number of people in Jiangnan. It is also because of the weak supervision of the Ziyi Supervisor on Jiangnan that the Queen Mother Association is lurking in Jiangnan. It was not known to the court for many years.
The imperial court will naturally increase its efforts to monitor Jiangnan.
Since then, Musk Moon’s influence in Jiangnan will inevitably disappear quickly. The saint obviously does not want the state to control Jiangnan, and he sent Xiao Jianzhi over, obviously to rebuild a force in Jiangnan.
There is no doubt that Xiao Jianzhi's most important task in Jiangnan is to redeploy his forces naturally.
Qin Xiao frowned. Since Ziyi Jian took advantage of the situation to come to Jiangnan, if he did anything in Jiangnan in the future, Ziyi Jian would obviously be a restraining force.
Along the way, stop and go. Before arriving at the Yangtze River, Lin Hong sent someone to hire a ferry. When the team arrived at the riverside, there were many ships waiting, and people and the convoy passed quickly.
Qin Xiao observes carefully along the way, and has to admit that Lin Hong is indeed a shrewd and capable person. Everything is planned long ago, and he will not wait for the matter to be solved before it is about to be solved. Moreover, the cost of food and drink on the way. Lin Hong is also very organized.
Qin Xiao suddenly understood why the Lin family let Lin Hong be in charge of Bao Fenglong. I am afraid that only these people can handle such a huge transaction. Before Musk Moon left Jiangnan, he specially left this person to himself. If Lin Hong is really right I am loyal and loyal, but it is also a great help.
However, he also knew in his heart that Lin Hong is working so hard now, in the final analysis, to keep the Lin family line, it is not easy to really make these characters willing to be sent by themselves.
On the road less than two days away from Kyoto, the road became wider. At dusk on this day, the sound of horseshoes was heard from the front. Not long after, a team came oncoming from the front, and the darkness was overwhelming. Qin Xiao immediately ordered the team to stop, and when the team approached, Qin Xiao realized that they were all in the attire of the Shence Army.
His relationship with the Shence Army is at odds, and his face looks a little ugly when he sees the Shence Army appear.
"Master Qin, don't come here unharmed?" Yiqi first shouted: "The saint has a purpose. Jiangnan escorted the soldiers and horses of the convoy to the camp in Liuhe County. There will be board and lodging, so you can't move forward. "The reminder came a few steps immediately, but didn't dismount, and handed over the imperial decree in his hand.
The general at once, not someone else, is the former leader of the army who escorted Xiahouning's coffin back to Beijing, Qiao Ruixin.
Qin Xiao frowned, took the decree, opened it, closed the decree, and smiled: "Since the saint has a decree, naturally follow the decree." He asked, "General Qiao, you are bringing someone to **** the convoy. ?"
"Yes!" Qiao Ruixin said: "The purpose is clearly written, and the general will lead the troops to **** the convoy into Beijing." Shen said: "Li Long!"
A military officer came up from behind, Qiao Ruixin said: "You take a team of people and lead these people to station in Liuhe County. Without the will of the saints, no one can take a step out of Liuhe County. Those who violate the order, Kill without mercy!"
Qin Xiao frowned even more.
He knew in his heart that he took thousands of people and horses to **** the convoy into Beijing, passing through counties and counties on the way. Such a group of people and horses in the direction of Kyoto would naturally have had an investigation report to Kyoto, and of course the saint knew this. What exactly does this team do.
However, the land of Gyeonggi is extraordinary. There are Wuwei battalions in the capital and Shence troops outside the capital. Except for the soldiers and horses defending Kyoto, of course, other soldiers and horses are not allowed to approach Kyoto, and Shence troops are sent to replace the escorts. It is also a matter of course.
However, what Qiao Ruixin said was very harsh, and some people behind Qin Xiao heard it, and their expressions were a little ugly.
This team worked tirelessly all the way to **** the team to Gyeonggi. Naturally, it was a lot of credit. But Qiao Ruixin's words are not only full of disdain for the loyal army, it even means to
The Zhongyong Army is under house arrest in Liuhe County.
If other teams are down, most of this loyal army has the heart to redeem their sins, hoping to receive pardon and praise from the court, but they have been very upset deep in their hearts. I heard these words from the loyal army. The generals are indeed very sensitive.
"General Qiao, there is no imperial decree in this sentence." Qin Xiao said coldly: "Those who step out of Liuhe County will kill without mercy. Is this the sage's dictum?"
"Naturally not." Qiao Ruixin said: "This is the command of the general. The Shence Army is responsible for guarding Gyeonggi. Any soldiers and horses entering the territory of Gyeonggi must be controlled by the Shence Army. Let these people be stationed in Liuzhou. He County is the military order of General Zuo. In order to ensure the safety of Gyeonggi, these people certainly cannot step out of Liuhe County."
"That's easy to say." Qin Xiao sneered: "You should know that these brothers are here to **** the convoy, and everything in the car is sent to the palace. In other words, these brothers are all It’s doing errands for the palace. It’s a good thing that you let everyone go to Liuhe County to rest, but since your later remarks are not the saint’s will, please take them back. My brothers know the rules, and when we arrive in Liuhe County, naturally Someone is restrained, but you don’t want to kill you, everyone doesn’t like to listen." Raised his hand, pointed at the people behind him, and said loudly: "General Qiao, you said to everyone that you said something wrong. Say something to everyone. I apologize, forget it."
Qiao Ruixin opened his eyes wide and asked: "You make me apologize?"
"Yes." Qin Xiao smiled and said: "Apologize now."
Qiao Ruixin seemed to hear the funniest joke in the world and turned around and said, "Brothers, he asked Ben to apologize to them?" As soon as he said this, everyone in the Shence Army burst into laughter.
Qin Xiao stared at Qiao Ruixin without saying a word. Qiao Ruixin was stared at by him, uncomfortable, and finally laughed twice before finally saying: "What if he didn't apologize?"
Qin Xiao said coldly: "Do you really apologize?"
"Don't think about it!" Qiao Ruixin clenched a fist and said: "Qin Xiao, this is Gyeonggi, but not Hangzhou, so don't show prestige in front of me!"
Qin Xiao smiled slightly, his face suddenly sinking, and turned around and said: "The rear team has changed to the former team, back to Hangzhou!"
With this order, the loyal and brave soldiers turned their heads without saying anything. Many people shouted: "The rear team has changed to the former team. Let's go back to Hangzhou 1."
"Back to Hangzhou, back to Hangzhou!"
Qiao Ruixin's eyes widened. He never expected Qin Xiao to come out like this, and said angrily: "Qin Xiao, what the **** are you doing? Isn't these things going to be shipped to Kyoto? I will take over now. , You are not qualified to take the team back."
"The decree is here, but the three words "Kill Without Forgiveness" are not, so you are falsely preaching the decree." Qin Xiao said: "And the team has not been handed over, so you are not qualified to give orders to the team. In addition, even if it is handed over, Your task is to escort, and the team is out of your control. Since you are falsely preaching the imperial decree, then the officer has reason to believe that your team may not come by order. In order to ensure the safety of the team, the officer can only take the team back to Hangzhou Of course, the saint will be held accountable afterwards, and the officer will report the facts. You, General Joe, will take over the convoy. Without a word of kindness, you will kill without mercy. If the officer and the brothers are not comfortable, they will not enter Beijing."
"You are so bold." Qiao Ruixin was furious: "Is this why you come as you say you are, and leave as you say?"
Qin Xiao laughed and said: "So what? The officer has the guts to return to Hangzhou, can your General Qiao have the guts to watch us turn around?" His expression sank, and he said sharply, "Qiao Ruixin, how many heads do you have? Dare to delay things in the palace?"
