Marshal Deng of the Conferred God

Chapter 130
In the palace, Daji saw that the two younger sisters hadn't returned all night, and she was unhappy. She decided that the two of them were gluttonous, and found a place to sleep when they were full.But after a few more days, the two of them did not return, and she felt uneasy. At night, while King Zhou was asleep, she sneaked out of the palace and went straight to the palace under construction in the west of the city.

A craftsman was arrested, and after asking, he learned that the two sisters were captured by Chen Qi and killed by Deng Jiugong. The bodies were thrown into the wilderness, and the wild dogs had already snatched them away.

Daji was so angry that one Buddha ascended to heaven and two Buddhas were born, secretly hating Deng Jiugong in his heart.Although she was furious, she did not lose her mind. Deng Jiugong can beat Jiang Ziya, a strange man who is proficient in magic arts.The only thing that can be relied on is the imperial power to avenge the two sisters.

As a thousand-year-old fox, Daji can bear it very well. When she first entered the palace, she was embarrassed by Lady Jiang. She kept swallowing her anger and found an opportunity to overthrow her in one fell swoop and become the head of the harem.A few years ago, Huang Feihu burned her children and grandchildren with a torch, but she refused to let her go. She didn't take action against Huang Feihu until the case of the Jia family was passed. If Huang Feihu didn't run away smartly, the whole family of the Huang family might have lost their children and grandchildren. up.

Now Deng Jiugong seems to be the pillar of the court, he himself funded the construction of the palace, and he is very favored in front of the emperor, if he doesn't have a clever strategy, he may not be able to touch him.

Daji racked her brains, thinking about how to get rid of Deng Jiugong.

……

Only a few days after returning to the court song, King Zhou suddenly recruited all civil and military officials into the palace, preparing to ascend to the court.

As long as the court rises, something big will happen. Deng Jiugong is well informed, and he learned that it was Dong Bohou Jiang Wenhuan who captured Youhun Pass with great momentum.This incident spread to Chaoge, and the court and the public were in turmoil. King Zhou reluctantly left Wenrou Township.

In the Nine Halls, King Zhou's complexion is much better than the previous few months, probably because he took the health pills.Deng Jiugong learned that the medicine shop he opened was very popular with the royal family, civil and military officials, and King Zhou would send his servants to buy it every three days.

"Dear dears, now Jiang Wenhuan, a traitor, has taken down Youhun Pass, and his soldiers are pointing directly at Meng Jin with arrogance. You have a good strategy."

As soon as this remark came out, most of the officials were silent, and they were asked to write an appeal against thieves. They could write it loudly and overwhelmingly, but it was too embarrassing for them to calm down the chaos.

Zhang Qian came out and said: "Your Majesty, although Jiang Wenhuan has unstoppable courage, in my eyes, he is just a man, far worse than his father. With his ability, it is absolutely impossible to conquer the Youhun Pass , I'm afraid there is something strange about this matter."

King Zhou nodded his head and said, "That's right. The Jiang thief has been rebelling for more than ten years, but he still can't conquer Xiongguan. This man's ability is nothing more than that. According to Qing's opinion, who can help him?"

Zhang Qian said: "Your Majesty, since I was promoted to prime minister, I have worked hard day and night on state affairs, and my hard work has paid off. According to the news from Donglu, the reason why Jiang Wenhuan was able to overcome the Wandering Soul Pass was because of King Pingling's help. Two People are working together as traitors, and they have accepted a lot of Beihai remnants, so they are quite powerful, no less than Xiqi, who was in chaos in the previous battle."

King Pingling lives in a barbarian land, only a few hundred miles away from the East China Sea. A few years ago, following the Beihai Rebellion, he raised his flag to rebel. Hearing that the grand master led 20 troops to put down the rebellion, it only took half a year to kill him. draw.However, it was heard that the grand master used his troops so quickly, but he only severely injured King Pingling's subordinates, but did not completely wipe him out. Now he has revived and turned against the court.

King Zhou pondered and said: "This King Pingling is really hateful. I think it's not easy for him to be a barbarian. He has been heartfelt to the big merchants for many years, and he has made offerings every year. He regards me as the father of the king. That's why he made an exception and named him King Pingling to serve the barbarians. Set an example. Who knows that this person is loyal outside and traitor inside. When he became Queen Pingling, his ambition was exposed, and he turned against the court. According to Qing, whoever you send can put down the rebellion."

Zhang Qian said: "Your Majesty, Jiang Wenhuan is coming in a menacing manner. There are more than [-] rebels. Looking at the whole court, only the Generalissimo can break it."

Deng Jiugong's reluctance to talk about state affairs made Zhang Qian quite unhappy, but after a few months, the anger in his heart had long since dissipated.The war broke out again, and the first thing he thought of was Deng Jiugong.

"The minister waits for a second opinion."

All civil and military officials unanimously agreed to send Deng Jiugong to quell the rebellion. Just kidding, when it comes to marching and fighting, the whole country can't find anyone who can compare with Deng Jiugong. This person's use of military skills is even better than Wen Taishuai.

King Zhou was overjoyed, looked at Deng Jiugong, and said, "Deng Qing, are you willing to quell the chaos for the court."

Deng Jiugong said: "As the commander-in-chief of the army and horses, I am the head of the generals. Now that the country is in trouble, it is natural to be the first to stand up. It's just that Jiang Wenhuan has a large number of soldiers, and he has the help of Beihai remnants. To defeat the enemy, you need to use strange people."

As soon as Xiqi subsided, wars broke out in the east again, and today's big merchants are indeed full of disasters.In the original book, Jiang Wenhuan relied on Jin Zha and Mu Zha to win the Lower Soul Pass. Could it be that his own arrival also had an impact on Dongzhen.

King Zhou said: "What Deng Qing said is reasonable. You are the Generalissimo of the army and horses, and you have the right to be transferred to the whole country. It must not be difficult to choose one or two talents who are proficient in magic arts. You will solve this matter yourself."

The people who put down the chaos are confirmed, and King Zhou is determined. He only wants to retire early and have fun with Daji.It is said that the two concubines have something to do when they return to the master's gate, and they don't know when they will be able to return to the palace.

Deng Jiugong said: "Your Majesty, I have not long been appointed Marshal of the Army and Horses, and my aptitude is still low, so I can't compare with Marshal Wen, so I need an artifact that represents the symbol of the Son of Heaven, otherwise I'm afraid it will be difficult to mobilize the border generals."

Whether it's the general of the Five Passes, or an outsider like Kong Xuan, it's hard to say whether he will sell his own face or not, but one thing is for sure, they will definitely listen to what the court says, and this is enough.

King Zhou was taken aback, and felt that what Deng Jiugong said was reasonable, so he said: "Decree: Order Deng Jiugong to lead an army of 20, send out Huang Yan, hold an axe, and drive on behalf of me. The border generals will be transferred by Deng Jiugong at will. disposal."

Deng Jiugong was overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "I will be a soldier who breaks the bandits, thank you for the emperor's kindness."

King Zhou laughed and said: "Deng Qing will set off at Chenshi three days later, and I will personally practice it for you!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

All the officials saw that Deng Jiugong's family was in full swing, and they were envious. There are only a handful of officials who can make the emperor personally practice the great merchants who have established the country for hundreds of years.However, Deng Jiugong's meritorious service is actually a contribution to the country, so it is normal to have such an honor.

King Zhou glanced at all the officials and was about to retreat when he saw Zhang Qian coming out again. He frowned and asked, "What else does Zhang Qing want to play?"

Zhang Qian said loudly: "Please tell your Majesty, the imperial court has been fighting every year, so that the national treasury is empty. Although I have cultivated for a few months, I collected a batch of grain to the national treasury last month, but the quantity is limited, not enough to dispatch 20 troops to fight."

King Zhou said with a bitter face: "The treasury has no money, and Zhang Qing has a solution."

As the emperor, he never worried about the country's money and food, he was only responsible for squandering.Now that Zhang Qian reached out to him for money, where would he get it?Even the money for the construction of the palace was paid by Deng Jiugong.

Zhang Qian sighed: "There are only two ways. One is to borrow food from Xiqi, and Han Rong of Sishuiguan will be responsible for transporting food for Mr. Deng's Eastern Expedition. .”

King Zhou was silent, 10,000 vs. 50 [-]+, the difference in strength was huge, he refused without thinking, "Borrow food from Xiqi, if I remember correctly, when Ji Fa sent someone to send a letter of surrender, he said I offer [-] shi to the court every year, so I will use this excuse to ask him for it."

Zhang Qian said: "I obey."

The food matter was settled, and Zhang Qian was determined.
