As soon as he stepped into the main gate of the yamen, he heard shouting and scolding from inside, faintly accompanied by Song Guanglan's begging for mercy, listening to the movement, the louder Song Guanglan begged for mercy, the louder the scolding.Dayong stopped in his tracks, listened to a few words, felt that the scolding sound seemed familiar, but couldn't remember where he heard it before.After listening to a few more words, the movement was not right, so I couldn't help frowning, and then I lifted my foot and continued walking inside.

"You live on the imperial salary, but you don't want to repay the kindness of your father. It's fine if you don't die when the city is destroyed. Why do you turn to the thieves to help the evildoers! Why do you still wear the official uniform of the imperial court and hold the imperial scorpion?" Yin! If you have self-knowledge, the three-foot white silk behind the hall will kill yourself. If you know your fate, you will not be able to blame me if you are taken to Beijing to be hacked to pieces."

"My lord, spare my life, my lord, spare my life, I was forced to do so on the day of my humble position, I was confused for a while, and I was confused for a while."

"What a last resort, confused at the moment! I ask you, why is Sun Yuanhua not confused, not forced! Do you think the court will let you and other rebellious ministers go! Do you think that begging for mercy can save your life! Hugh do this in front of me Ugly, this official has pointed out a clear path for you, which one to choose between the three-foot white silk and the ten thousand pieces, you have to decide for yourself."

"Humble job, humble job, listen to adults" [

Song Guanglan was devastated, got up from the ground with a trembling face, her legs trembled violently, and walked towards the back hall tremblingly.On the chair next to him, Xie Yiqing was hesitant to speak, Zhao Quan was indifferent, Jiang Yihe stood in the hall with a righteous look on his face, seeing Song Guanglan dawdling, he couldn't help being furious, "I'm referring to your clear path, You have to bear the responsibility when you go back to Beijing, if you don’t know what to do again, I will ask the envoy to arrest you, and take you and your family back to Beijing!"

"don't"

Hearing that Jiang Yihe wanted Jin Yiwei to escort his family back to the capital, Song Guanglan was so frightened that his hands and feet turned cold, and he gritted his teeth and walked to the back hall without daring to delay any longer.The two Jinyi guards looked at him from left to right, obviously afraid that he would take the opportunity to escape.After walking a few steps, I heard someone outside the hall calling: "Master Song, where are you going?"

Hearing this cry, Song Guanglan was like a drowning man seeing a straw, her body trembled, and she slammed the Jin Yiwei on the left, howling, "General, save me!" Before he arrived, he knelt down at Da Zai Dayong's feet with a "plop", grabbed his nose and tears, knocked his head on the ground, and shouted: "General, save me, general, save me!"

"Shi Dayong, how can a traitor be called an adult? How can you save him?"

Jiang Yihe was quite dissatisfied with Shi Dayong's address to Song Guanglan, and also disdainful of Song Guanglan's treating Shi Dayong as a savior. With a raised beard, he wanted to put on the majesty of a military officer, but when he saw Shi Dayong's ferocious and terrifying face, The words that were about to come out were held back abruptly, and only let out an angry snort.

Seeing Jiang Yihe, Dayong suddenly realized, no wonder the voice sounded familiar just now, it turned out to be the old man Jiang who went to Jinzhou last year for a reward.When I saw Jiang Langzhong that day, his head was covered with white hair. When we meet again today, his beard will be completely white.I don't know what the imperial court thinks, such an old man whose thighs have been buried in the earth has not yet returned to his hometown, and has sent him out of Beijing repeatedly.Dayong was disgusted with Jiang Yihe at first, and even felt sorry for him who was still worrying about the country with his beard, but just now he heard that Jiang Yihe wanted to force Song Guanglan to death in the name of a superior, which made him dissatisfied all of a sudden.If he came one step later and Song Guanglan really hanged himself, wouldn't his promise of Shi Dayong become bullshit, and what face would he have to say that he would never break his promise?

Seeing Dayong coming, Xie Yiqing got up and said with a smile on his face: "General Shi, don't be ill!"

"So it's Mr. Xie!" Dayong had a good impression of Xie Yiqing, and he clasped his fists to salute, but instead of saluting to Jiang Yihe, he looked at Zhao Quan, the former imperial eunuch who was sitting there, and looked at Xie Yiqing with a questioning look.

Xie Yiqing hurriedly introduced: "This is Eunuch Zhao, the imperial envoy."

In the palace?Dayong was a little surprised, the emperor sent someone?

Surprised in his heart, he behaved politely, stepped forward respectfully and saluted, and said: "The last general Shi Dayong has seen Eunuch Zhao!"

"General Shi, please rise."

Zhao Quanquan came here with the imperial order, and he was a legitimate imperial envoy. Jiang Yihe and Xie Yiqing were only sent by the Ministry of War to understand Denglai's current situation, and they did not bear the imperial order. Naturally, he, the eunuch, was the most respected among the three. It is quite normal to accept Dayong's gift.Even if he does not have the status of an imperial envoy, with his status as an imperial eunuch who often served the emperor, even an ordinary general in command would pay a big gift and fawn on him when he saw him, not to mention Dayong, the vice general of Jinzhou.

"General Shi has made great achievements in suppressing the rebellion. He returned to Dengzhou first, and then killed two rebels. He has made outstanding achievements. The emperor specially sent our family to reward the general and soldiers, ha ha." Zhao Quan smiled, and there was no visitor from the palace at all. Sheer airs are much more approachable than those who stand tall and submerged. This makes Dayong a little strange. He only thinks that the eunuch is so close to him because of his great achievements. Once I went out of Beijing, I haven't fully realized how much gold I have as a former imperial eunuch.

"Suppressing rebellion is the duty of a general as a subject. How dare the emperor send an angel to work with a little credit? The subject is terrified. The only way to serve the country with death is to die." Dayong couldn't help but feel humble, but I'm glad that Chongzhen can send his servants here, and the crime of treason is gone.Zhao Quan smiled and praised Dayong a few more words, saying how happy the emperor was when he heard Dengzhou's recovery and the second rebellion in Beijing.Xie Yiqing also echoed a few words on the sidelines, praising Dayong and the Jinzhou Army as a force of good generals.Jiang Yihe stood there with a livid face and stared at Song Guanglan so hard that the latter didn't dare to lift his head.

It’s not too late to say polite words later, it’s important to get down to business first, Zhao Quan smiled and took out the imperial decree and was about to read it out, Jiang Yihe suddenly pointed to Song Guanglan who was kneeling and asked Dayong: “General Shi, do you know that this man once possessed a thief?” Treason?"

Dayong glanced at Song Guanglan who was still shaking, nodded and said, "I know."

If Dayong said he didn't know, Jiang Yihe still had a self-consoling excuse, but Dayong replied directly, and the old master couldn't help but get angry, and his face darkened, "Since I know, why don't you put him in prison for crimes?" , but still tell him to wear the official uniform of the imperial court and hold the official seal of the imperial court, are you treating the famous state artifacts as a trifling matter?!" [

Hearing this, Zhao Quan and Xie Yiqing also felt that it was inappropriate for Dayong to allow Song Guanglan, an official who had surrendered the bandit, to still manage affairs in Dengzhou, but the two did not have the same outburst as Jiang Yihe. The former looked at Dayong with interest, while the latter was Secretly sweating for Dayong.Appointing a traitor to demote an official can be a big or small matter. If it is a big deal, it is not impossible to participate in a "desire to misbehave". If it is a small thing, it is also a muddleheaded official. Both of them have no good influence on Dayong.

"Although this man has committed the crime of surrendering thieves, Dengzhou is in a state of ruins, and the imperial court has not sent anyone to take over. The last general has no ability to govern the people, so let him help with things for the time being. The right is transition. It doesn’t mean to desecrate the famous treasures of the country.” Dayong explained, and at this point, he suddenly asked Jiang Yihe: “Did your lord bring the order of the court to deal with it? If there is, then at the end of the day, he will be put in prison for disposal. As soon as the words fell, Song Guanglan's body became unstable, and his head hit the ground with a "boom".

"I'm not an imperial envoy, so you can ask Eunuch Zhao if you have any orders." Jiang Yihe didn't have an imperial order, but there was an official document from the Ministry of War. Unfortunately, there was no provision for him to deal with demoting officials, and it was not up to the Ministry of War to take care of it.

The ball kicked him, Zhao Quan shook his head and said: "Our family is only here to reward the army, the emperor does not let our family take care of other matters."

"Since it is the decree, then the general's disposition is not at fault." Dayong secretly heaved a sigh of relief, he was really afraid that Zhao Quan would come up with the decree to deal with the demotion, and that matter is really a bit tricky.At the same time as he was secretly relaxed, his tone suddenly hardened, "Since it is the will, Master Jiang asked him to commit suicide just now, maybe it is inappropriate?"

The Wuxuan Division of the Ministry of War is at best the fifth grade, but Song Guanglan is from the fourth grade Denglaidao. The two have no jurisdictional relationship. Unless authorized by the emperor, Jiang Yihe has no right to order Song Guanglan to commit suicide. .

Jiang Yihe knew that he was in the wrong, and he wanted to show it off, to earn a reputation of making a renegade criminal commit suicide with shame. What is the criminal officer who has been demoted as a thief to pursue himself? Why not do such a good thing that he can gain fame and punish a rebellious minister for the country.It's fine for people to talk about such things, but Dayong pointed out in public that he didn't have this power. Jiang Yihe was a little embarrassed, and he snorted and didn't answer directly. Instead, he pointed at the tables and stools outside the hall that hadn't been moved yet. He questioned Dayong: "The governor's yamen in Denglai is the office of the imperial court's officials in the frontier. Why is it like a teahouse and restaurant? General Shi has taken over Dengzhou for a while, so why didn't he know how to send people to clean it up and send soldiers to guard it? , what is the system?"

"Dengzhou has just been recovered, and I will be entangled in many things at the end. I forgot to send someone to clean up for a while, please forgive me." Dayong lowered his posture, and he didn't want to argue with this old man who was about to die, so that he wouldn't know that he was here. If they found out about the banquet held by the governor's yamen, it would be a big reasoning and accusation, and it would not be good for the emperor to hear it.

Dayong lowered his posture, but Jiang Yihe got excited, thinking that the martial artist was finally afraid of him, sneered, and asked, "If you forget for a while, you will lose the dignity of the government? Can you call a criminal official to handle things if you just make a transition? How do the common people think of the court? If they feel contempt, how will the government manage them in the future?"

Got an inch?Dayong also became angry, and said tit for tat: "The general thinks that the dignity of the government lies in making the people in the territory worry about food and clothing, so that the old can be supported and the few can be educated. As for the yamen, it doesn't matter? No matter how good the yamen is, if the people are displaced, three meals a day. , what's the use of being so decent?"

"You are talking nonsense, you are really stupid and ineffective! The government is the most important thing in government affairs." Seeing that Shi Dayong dared to contradict himself, Jiang Yihe was furious, and he must teach this brash warrior a lesson.

"The two of you should stop arguing, and our family still wants to announce the decree?"

Seeing that the situation was not good, Zhao Quan knew the old man Jiang well along the way, and knew that the old man had better argue with others, and he couldn't lose. If he and Shi Dayong were allowed to quarrel, he didn't know what would happen.Hearing that he was going to proclaim the decree, Jiang Yihe was stunned for a moment, and he didn't dare to speak any more. He couldn't bear the crime of delaying the imperial envoy's delivery of the decree.The old man didn't make noise, Dayong naturally didn't bother to pay attention to him, he knelt down towards Zhao Quan and said, "Minister Shi Dayong takes the decree!" When he knelt down, the guards also knelt down hurriedly, Jiang Yihe and Xie Yiqing also knelt down, everyone People bowed their heads.

Zhao Quan unfolded the imperial decree, glanced at it, and proclaimed in a clear voice: "Shangyu: I heard that Jinzhou Deputy General Shi Dayong led his troops to conquer Dengzhou, punished and killed two rebels. I am very happy. I specially bestow ten altars of imperial wine to reward the meritorious soldiers. I respect this .”

After the announcement, Zhao Quan put away the imperial decree, waited for Shi Dayong to kowtow, and handed it to him. He didn't want to put it away, but found that there was no movement below. He couldn't help looking at Shi Dayong who was kneeling in a strange way. Looking at him, he opened his mouth slightly, and two words came out: "It's gone?"
