The Red Chamber: The Rise of the Shuzi

Chapter 54
On the high platform, Emperor Hongde listened to the shouts of the ministers below, and sat back on the dragon chair with satisfaction.

At this time, under the high platform, many civil servants and military generals who were willing to support the peace talks were a little bit bitter.

However, since Emperor Hongde said so much just now, everyone can only agree to send troops!
After all, Emperor Hongde even used the word "please". If he jumped out and sang the opposite tune again, it would not be ignorance of flattery, but he would slap Emperor Hongde and the Supreme Emperor next to him in the face.

All the ministers think together, if you really do that, you probably don’t have to wait until you return home, there will be a censor who will jump out of the court immediately, and go through the old accounts recorded in the small book with yourself, and finally the emperor will wave his hand , "Crack", the head fell to the ground...

Thinking of this, many ministers' hearts tightened, and they only felt that the back of their necks was chilly.

……

On the dragon chair, Emperor Hongde continued: "Since we are going to send troops, let's discuss in detail, who should be in charge this time?"

As soon as the words fell, Xu Yao, the Duke of Wei, stepped out of the class, bowed and said: "Your Majesty, I beg you, old minister!"

Yang Xiuchen looked at Wei Guogong who had stepped forward and recommended himself as handsome, and moved a little, intending to push a military general who had taken refuge in his own family to take command of the battle, but in the end he still didn't dare to speak.

Yang Xiuchen also knew in his heart that those generals who took refuge here, except for one or two, most of them were worthless sacks, who got here by mixing money and seniority.

It's okay to ask them to wave the flag and shout for themselves in the hall, and beat the side drums, but what about going to the battlefield...

Yang Xiuchen was really afraid that they would give away their heads if they went up, and then he would be hurt by a big defeat.

On the high platform, Emperor Hongde turned his head to the Empress Dowager before nodding his head and said: "Since that's the case, then I will trouble the old Duke to take command and go out this time!"

"I will never say goodbye!" Wei Guogong bowed again.

After getting rid of the commander of the army, the strings in Emperor Hongde's heart were also loosened by two points.

"The marshal is already there, so who should be sent to the vanguard army? Do you have any recommendation?" Emperor Hongde asked expectantly.

After hearing this, many generals in the hall looked at each other, but in the end they all lowered their heads.

It's okay to command the troops, let's forget about the vanguard!
Since the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, not to mention the small battles, I have counted all the previous wars, and one or two vanguard generals did not die that time?I still know what kind of materials I have now.

Just stay at home honestly!

Is the day in Shinkyo bad?Or are the beauties and wine not fragrant?Do you have to go to the frontier to suffer and die?
It doesn't matter if you say you are afraid of death or war, after all, you have spent too much time in debauchery, and your fearless fighting spirit has long been corroded by the wine and beauty...

On the high platform, Emperor Taishang and Emperor Hongde looked at the silent generals below, feeling a little disappointed.

In the silence, a voice suddenly sounded.

"Your Majesty, I recommend myself!"

In the eyes of many generals looking at fools, Jia Jing stepped forward, bowed upwards, and reiterated: "Your Majesty, my minister Jia Jing recommends himself to be the vanguard of the army!"

Seeing this on the high platform, the Supreme Emperor and Emperor Hongde both felt warm in their hearts. This Marquis Zhaowu is indeed a good minister who is loyal to the emperor and the country!

At the same time, in the hearts of the two of them, the bad impression they had left on the Jia family because of the abolition of the crown prince disappeared in an instant.

After all, based on the loyalty of Marquis Zhaowu and the bad impression left by Jia's family before, it's nothing to worry about...

On the high platform, Emperor Hongde turned his head to look at the Supreme Emperor next to him. Seeing him nodding slightly, he directly issued an order: "In this case, Wei Guogong Xu Yao and Zhaowu Marquis Jia Jing, step forward to listen to the order!"

"Chen is here!"

"Today, Xu Yao, the Duke of Wei, is ordered to command the Fifth Army Battalion, Shenji Battalion, Three Thousand Battalion, and the [-]th Regiment Battalion of Gyeonggi, and to admiral all the troops along the town! He was named Wei Guogong Xu Yao as the General Conquering Captives, and received the seal of the General Conquering Captives!

He ordered Jia Jing, Marquis of Zhaowu, to lead the Zhenwei, Guoyong, and Ganyong battalions under his command as vanguards.
At the same time, all the ministries fully cooperated with the action of the general who conquered the captives, and the weapons, food and grass should be in place!But if there is an obstacle, it will not be pardoned immediately! "

Emperor Hongde got up again, "I hope that the two generals will go out this time to quell the scourge of the Tartars, keep the barbarians from abroad, and guard the people of Dazhou Sheji!"

"Minister Xu Yao/Jia Jing leads the order!" Wei Guogong Xu Yao and Jia Jing bowed to receive the order.

Ministers of civil and military affairs: "The ministers wait for the order!"

…………

Rongguo Mansion, Rongxi Hall.

After the dinner, people from Ningrong and Rongfu gathered together.

After serving the tea, the maids left alone, while everyone chatted and digested food.

"Brother Jing, you are so confused today!" Seeing that he was free, Jia Zheng on the other side persuaded with annoyance: "Then Saibei is a place of easy exchange? You should discuss it with your family first, why not?" Are you in such a hurry to recommend yourself?"

"Sai Bei? Self-recommendation?" Jia Mu frowned, "Did something happen in the court today?"

Jia Zheng took the opportunity to give a general account of today's court affairs.

Mentioning that Jia Jing shouted in the court hall, all the noble and noble families of the founding of the country agreed with themselves, and it seemed like a small hill in the court hall. Jia Mu and others also felt proud of it; Conquer the vanguard, go to Saibei? !
Everyone's expressions couldn't help but change.

Jia Amnesty and Jia Zhen's rank of general was false because they were not qualified to go to court. Now hearing Jia Zheng's words, the two of them also frowned.

Jia Amnesty asked, "The Tatar Khan went south by himself. This is no small matter. Brother Jing, are you sure?"

"If you are sure or not, don't you all go?" Jia Jing had a slight smile on his face, "When the war comes, I will command the Third Battalion of Gyeonggi, and I must go out with the army. People who are sent here and there cannot be autonomous, it is better to take the initiative and hold the autonomy in their own hands!"

"Although I have been promoted to Marquis Wu, I still need a big battle to prove myself! And our Jia family, some time ago, fortunately, Brother You Zhen went to the palace to plead guilty, and then dug up the biggest rot in the mansion. gone."

Saying that, Jia Jing glanced at Jia Zhen, "Today, if I invite myself to be a pioneer, it will be considered as erasing our Jia family's old case in the palace!"

"In the future, if the Jia family doesn't commit suicide by themselves, as long as I'm here, the palace will definitely give our Jia family a face!"

Hearing Jia Jing's words, and the many female family members who heard it in a fog, understood the twists and turns.As far as Jia Jing had said, everyone in the Jia family naturally had nothing else to say.

Mother Jia sighed softly, "Brother Jing, for the sake of the Jia family, I have suffered so much for you!"

Jia Amnesty on the side said again: "Brother Jing, you are going on an expedition, but you must be more careful. Now you are our Jia family's white jade pillars and purple gold beams. You must not be hurt!"

Jia Zheng also nodded in agreement.

Looking at the caring eyes of Jia Mu, Jia She and Jia Zheng, the former may be sincere, but the latter is completely worried about the security of their own pension or promotion.

But the smile on Jia Jing's face didn't change, she just replied: "Got it!"

"When will the army start?" Mother Jia asked.

Jia Jing replied: "It will take at least ten days and half a month for the imperial court to summon the army and prepare weapons, food and grass. These days are to tidy up and prepare for the expedition!"

Everyone was talking in the room when suddenly a young man hurried in from the door.

"Old lady, Eldest Master, Second Master, Hou Ye, Uncle Zhen..." After asking one by one, the servant finally got to the point: "At the door, there is a Mr. Xia who claims to be the eunuch of Liugongdu, who came to deliver an order. !"

"The eunuchs of the Six Palaces?"

Jia's mother, Jia She, and Jia Zheng didn't know what happened for a while, and they panicked immediately.

Hearing the young man's words, Jia Jing's face flashed with contemplation, and then she seemed to think of something, and said with a smile: "Don't be so flustered, it's a great thing, maybe it's the dignity given to our Jia family by the palace. Woolen cloth!"

After all, he ordered the young man to set up an incense table and open the middle door to welcome him without mentioning it.
