Chapter 290 General Dragon and Tiger

After finishing speaking, Superintendent Zhao read the imperial decree, and Su Ziji listened in the crowd. The first part was full of official words, and the main topic came to the end of the reading.

"Only Mu Sang was sealed as General Longhu?" Su Ziji was surprised by this result. At first, he thought that the court would at least seal Mu Sang as a Southwest Marquis, but he didn't expect that it was just General Longhu.

There is a difference between General Dragon and Tiger and the male five nobles of the male princes, not to mention the male princes. In the past, the male princes were all national nobles. With these titles, they have a vague status of autonomy. Although this rank is high, it is the second rank , but only loose officials, no real power.

With a glance, you can see Mu Sang kneeling in front of the village owner, his face darkened, while Su Ziji secretly sneered: "It seems that the imperial court is not at ease with Mu Sang, that's good."

Then there was the village master who rewarded him for surrendering early.

Among the 57 cottages, among the first batch of surrenders, three villages were the strongest, and the owner of the village was even named a general. For many people, they are actually not very able to distinguish the difference between the two generals. They only feel that after this award, many people are almost equal to Mu Sang in terms of status.

"This is actually a split." Su Ziji thought to himself, looking at Mu Sang's flushed face at the moment, he felt refreshed.

"I tell you to continue pretending!"

"Please get up." Supervisor Zhao read out the imperial decree, immediately put it on the incense table, and then said to the kneeling crowd.

Dazheng was headed by Cui Zhaoquan and Qian Zhidong, and the Shanzhai was headed by Mu Sang and several village leaders who had been enshrined as generals. They all got up at the same time.

"Lord Cui, you should also support the next banquet, after all, you are an imperial envoy, right?" Probably because he was too lazy to deal with the people in the cottage, Supervising Supervisor Zhao had finished his own business, so he stopped taking care of it.

Cui Zhaoquan cursed secretly, but could only endure it.

Just because the eunuch can hold the imperial decree in his hand, and he doesn't even know when the imperial decree will arrive, Cui Zhaoquan dare not tear his face again.

This shows that Eunuch Zhao has the means to quickly communicate with the capital.

"Masters of the village, from today onwards, you are all citizens of Dazheng, my colleagues, and a feast has been prepared inside, please come in and celebrate together!"

Mu Sang's expression had recovered at this time, and he asked, "Can the village that surrendered really distribute food immediately without delay?"

Cui Zhaoquan glanced at him: "Musang village master can't trust others, but also can't trust this official? You go in, and this official will look after you for you. Don't worry, I, Da Zheng, have always been tolerant to those who surrender sincerely, so I won't be here. Talking about small things doesn’t count.”

"That's good." Mu Sang nodded and stepped in.

At the banquet, Qian Zhidong had already entered, he stared at the entrance, and saw Mu Sang and the village owner walking in one by one, he couldn't help being filled with emotion.

"Unfortunately, this is the result."

"Musang has descended, and the Southwest is approaching. I'm afraid I'll have to go back to Beijing too. No matter how many arrangements are made, it will be wasted!"

When I am transferred, the Southwest Army will be rectified or deployed. In a few years, I am afraid that the forces that have been operating for many years will disappear without a trace.

"Hey, the general situation is like this, what can we do? We can only look at this reward." Qian Zhidong thought about a note in the account, which was the painstaking effort of deliberating with many staff for many nights.

It is very difficult to grasp the balance between getting the most credit and not completely tearing faces with the two imperial envoys.

Just turning his eyes, he saw a figure with a gloomy expression, thinking: "Su Zi has ruined my big business, before he leaves, he must find a chance to get rid of it!"

If he was operating in the army, or endured it, he would leave the army now, why bother to endure it, just find a chance and kill him.

Due to his status, Su Ziji did not enter the banquet, but instead followed the spectators. Outside, out of the corner of his eye, he saw that Cui Zhaoquan brought several people out. Su Ziji sneered slightly, and took a few steps back. He didn't come forward to greet him.

At this moment, Cui Zhaoquan was attracted by the mountain people rushing to the camp one after another, so he didn't pay much attention to the crowd.

"My lord, the weapons of the first batch of mountain people have been confiscated. There are a total of 1000 men, [-] women and children, and more than [-] children. Do you want to distribute food immediately?" Someone stepped forward to report.

Cui Zhaoquan tightly locked the dark one, and waved: "Send!"

Some soldiers took the village as a unit and sent rice down according to the hair of each person.

"Mother, I'm hungry, I want to eat!" The originally quiet child cried out immediately when he saw the rice delivered to his mother.

Cui Zhaoquan, who had turned to leave, stopped, turned around, and looked at the scene in front of him.

"My lord?" The soldier asked puzzledly.

As soon as Cui Zhaoquan raised his hand, the soldiers immediately stopped talking, while Cui Zhaoquan walked over slowly, carefully looking at the mountain women with their children.

The dresses of these women are different from those of Dazheng women. They all wear large strings of earrings on their ears, which look sparkling.

But the coat on his body is some worthless animal skins, and the child in his arms is well taken care of. It can be seen that the clothes the child wears are the best, warmest and softest.

But many of the children who have been cared for so carefully have sallow faces and cry like cats.

Cui Zhaoquan's eyes fell on a woman who was grabbing a handful of rice from a rice bag. Under his gaze, the woman didn't avoid it, and directly stuffed the raw rice into her mouth, chewed it quickly, and in almost a moment, her mouth met. mouth, and fed the baby in her arms.

"Musang deceived me!" Seeing this scene, Cui Zhaoquan didn't know that these cottages had already reached the end of their ropes?

He felt a little regretful, even the most precious wealth of these mountain people - children, were starved to such an extent, even if adults could hold on, how many days could they last?

At that time, Mu Sang's confidence was clearly a disguise!

"At that time, I immediately reprimanded and refused. Not only will nothing happen, but it will be settled within half a month at most. Unlike now, even though the rebels were subdued, the handling was not lukewarm."

"The effect is greatly reduced. When the emperor learns about this, I'm afraid he will think that I'm not good at doing things." Cui Zhaoquan sighed, turned and left, and only took a few steps. This time, he finally saw Su Ziji in the crowd.

The moment Su Ziji met his eyes, he stopped moving and stood in the crowd without stepping forward.

Cui Zhaoquan's eyes sank. In fact, he admired Su Ziji very much, and Su Ziji also intended to get close. The two were still very close at sea.

"It's a pity, it's a pity..." Cui Zhaoquan actually thought that Su Ziji would take the initiative to come forward to say hello, so he also took the opportunity to step down and give some care. Now it seems that the relationship between the two is not only completely over, but also animosity.

"Hmph, young and vigorous."

Even if this official wants to kill you, it is for the sake of the country and the people. If you still dare to complain, you are not a son of man!

Su Ziji, who was on the opposite side, didn't know what Cui Zhaoquan was thinking, nor was he afraid of what Cui Zhaoquan would think of him, so he could acquiesce in killing him.

"You want me to smash teeth and swallow blood? You are not worthy, just wait, and I will give you retribution immediately!"
