Da Wei Chun

Chapter 437 Holding the Emperor's Day
The cold wind is howling, and the dead leaves are flying.

The mist is like a curtain, and the distant mountains and high forests are like a sea of ​​smoke, ethereal and vast.

The sun jumped out of the ground, and in an instant, the sky and the earth seemed to be sprinkled with a layer of golden threads, criss-crossing, and the golden light was dazzling.

There was no crow or sparrow in Qingquan Hall, only the slight snoring of the emperor.Outside the curtain, several close officials sat around, staring at the scepters on the tables with different expressions.

A wooden staff about the thickness of a child's arm, six feet long, wrapped in gold leaves from top to bottom.Divided into eight sections, it looks like a golden bamboo.

The top is inlaid with a copper faucet about the size of a palm, with three lower sections, the first section is decorated with a leopard tail, and the remaining two sections are yak tails, as if three feather dusters are connected together.

If the leopard tail and oxtail are removed, it will look like the leading crutch of She Taijun in the Northern Song Dynasty in the film and television drama.

This is the emperor's decree, which has the right to kill and dispatch troops.If the dragon and tiger banners bestowed by the emperor are added, it will become the festivals bestowed on governors and governors of various states, that is, envoys' festivals and festivals.

Although the two are similar, they cannot be compared.After all, Luoyang is the capital city, at the foot of the emperor, the first place to be good, so the power to deploy troops is so great.No earth-shattering change, the emperor would never grant it lightly.

Yuan Ke ordered Liu Teng to transfer the order of the emperor to Li Chengzhi, and the intention was self-evident: for example, Yuan Yuan and Yuan Yan, who were kneeling at the desk, and tigers outside Qingquan Palace and in the imperial city, were all subject to Li Chengzhi's control.

And like Liu Teng, Yuan Hui and their secret guards, if Li Chengzhi wants to dispatch them when necessary, these two people can only listen to the order first, and then play it later.

It can be seen that Yuan Ke has a lot of trust in Li Chengzhi?
Everyone has different thoughts: Yuan Yan is both envious and excited.Even Yuan Yuan, who has always been calm and composed, had flushes on his face.

There is no other: As long as Li Chengzhi's holy family does not decline for a day, it doesn't matter whether they are two or tigers, they can always follow the tide...

Not only was Liu Teng not unhappy after being deprived of his order, but he felt relaxed.

It is extremely honorable to be awarded this festival by His Majesty, but one must not forget that the emperor's original intention was to specialize in rewards and killings, which was obviously for Liu Teng to kill.

The problem is that although people are easy to kill, they are nothing more than beheading with a knife.But you can't just cut it off if there is some connection, right?

One must know that all the monks and Taoists in the temple were involved in four or five famous temples in the capital, and there were more than tens of thousands of believers. Could it be that they were all killed...

Only Yuan Hui, with flickering eyes, stared at Ling Jie in a daze.

Li Chengzhi was more like a sculpture, motionless.

His face seemed calm, but his chest seemed to be on fire, wishing to ignite the hall and burn everything he saw.

Only one year left?
No need to think about obscene development, building high walls, and accumulating food.Whether Li Chengzhi will become cannon fodder or a victim depends on his luck.

To get out of Luoyang City before the emperor died, he had to rack his brains and do his best...

rebel?

Hehe... let's run for our lives first!
He worked hard, humbled himself, and almost lost his life. How could Li Chengzhi be reconciled to such a result?

He wished he could poke a hole out of Tiandu, but he didn't know who to turn to to vent...

"Don't be dumbfounded?"

Liu Teng glanced at the emperor, and urged in a low voice, "Your Majesty ordered me to hand over the order and hand over the errand to you, then you should bring out the regulations immediately..."

charter?

OK, then I'll take one with you...

Li Chengzhi's voice was as cold as ice: "Trouble general, order Yuan Qiao to regroup and put on armor!"

Putting on armor... Isn't it wearing it to kill people?
Just about to persuade, Yuan Yuan scolded coldly: "Not going yet?"

Yuan Yan has been guarding the palace gate these days, so he doesn't know what's going on in the palace.What's more, the emperor held his breath long ago and waited for Li Chengzhi to wake up.Otherwise, why did the emperor not order Li Chengzhi to diagnose and treat his injuries as soon as he woke up, but instead asked Li Chengzhi to "revenge blood and hatred" first?
It's because Liu Teng is only good at palace and internal affairs.He is a layman when it comes to apprehension and criminal cases.Although a lot of people were arrested and killed, but after seven or eight days, they didn't even figure out a clue?

It doesn't rule out that this eunuch found out or suspected something. He was afraid of being blamed. He deliberately avoided the important and ignored the minor, and deliberately forced the emperor to replace him...

Let Li Chengzhi do it, at least he won't go to prison and implicate innocent people.But if eunuchs like Liu Teng were pushed into a hurry, wouldn't they have to kill all the innocent people?

Yuan Yan left angrily, and Li Chengzhi said again: "Please trouble the minister, and hand over the list of arrests, the confessions of the suspects, etc. to the lower officials..."

Liu Teng was overjoyed, his eyes were narrowed into a slit: "This is natural!"

Once these things are handed over, no matter whether they are finally found out or not, whether they were killed wrongly or rightly, it has nothing to do with his old eunuch...

Not long after, more than a dozen eunuchs brought in seven or eight boxes, full of books and the like.

"The monks, Taoists, officials and people involved amounted to more than [-] mouths, and their records and confessions are all here..."

As Liu Teng said, he touched his bosom and put a copper order on the case: "This is the order from the secret guard. If you want to call it, you can discuss it with Yuan Shizhong (Yuan Hui, the servant is just an official). From today onwards, I will only concentrate on serving His Majesty before his bed, and leave the rest of the affairs alone..."

Did you push it clean?

Knowing Liu Teng's temperament, Li Chengzhi snorted secretly, and accepted them all without being polite at all.

Order Huangmen to collect all these documents and carry them out of the hall.Li Chengzhi clasped his fists again: "Then the next official will go out of the palace first. If your majesty asks, please explain a little bit!"

Liu Teng and Yuan Hui just nodded lightly, only Yuan Yuan looked worried, and reminded in a solemn voice: "Be careful!"

Li Chengzhi let out a breath: "Don't worry Zhonglang!"

it is more than words.

Yuan Yuan suspects that Liu Tengshu is partly involved in the criminal case, and the bigger reason may be that this old thief deliberately made a fool of himself to force His Majesty to replace him.

Even an eunuch like him, who has almost broken his roots and has almost no worries, feels that he is a mouse, so how difficult is it to investigate?

There are many things, and it is not that with the support of the emperor and the decree of the emperor, everything will be unfavorable...

Just these two sentences, without further words, the two imperial guards took Li Chengzhi, helped him out of the palace, and led him to the carriage.

He had been in a coma for eight days, so it was impossible for him to be completely unresponsive.But fortunately, as Xu Jian and Wang Xian said, there should be no sequelae.At least diet, excretion are all unhindered.

I just feel that my legs are weak and I can't exert my strength, just like having a stroke.It will take some time to recover...

From Yuan Qiao down, he had put on his armor long ago and waited outside the gate of Qingquan Palace.

The five hundred tigers stared at Li Chengzhi with admiration.

To protect His Majesty with one's life... As the Son of Heaven's personal army, isn't this the ultimate mission, the highest honor?
It would be fine if he died, but Li Chengzhi survived?

It's not an exaggeration at all, for these tigers, Li Chengzhi has become their idol, a living god's residence...

When they saw the two yellow gatekeepers Ling Jiezhi and the roof of the car, the five hundred soldiers showed fanaticism in their eyes and wanted to roar three times.

Li Chengzhi sat down in the car, lifted the front curtain again, looked at Yuan Qiao and the others calmly, and asked solemnly, "Do you dare to follow me to kill the thief?"

"Wow...boom!"

There were only these two sounds, and then he roared like thunder: "The emperor's festival is here, dare you not die?"

It felt as if an iron wall had suddenly collapsed, and the five hundred tigers lifted their skirts fiercely, and then knelt down heavily on one knee, making the scalp numb in such a neat way.

Yuan Yuan and the others stood on the steps of the temple, watching this scene from a distance, they felt their minds were shaken and excited.

A full dozen or so steps away, it seemed that a murderous aura rushed out of thin air, and Liu Teng was so overwhelmed that he couldn't breathe.

There was a glimmer of light in Yuan Hui's eyes, and he said in a solemn voice: "It is often heard that Li Chengzhi is good at training soldiers, strong in formation, and a master drummer. Now it seems that his reputation is indeed well-deserved!"

Yuan Yan curled his lips when he heard it: the first two are nothing more than that, he will drum up a feathered taxi?

It's been a long time, and he hasn't seen Li Chengzhi have a good face in front of his subordinates even once.It's not coercion, it's coercion.

It's also strange: two or three months ago, these dandies still wanted Li Chengzhi to die, so why did they suddenly fall in love with Li Chengzhi?

Yuan Yan couldn't figure it out 1 times, and asked suspiciously: "Compared to a few months ago, Yuan Qiao, Yuan Yan and others are simply different people?"

Yuan Yuan opened his mouth, but finally just sighed.

Without it, it is only because rewards and punishments are clearly defined, leading by example!
Li Chengzhi is indeed like a mountain of military law, he never talks about the slightest bit of affection, he whips when he needs a whip, and sticks when he needs a stick.

But when it comes to rewards, there is absolutely no ambiguity: as long as he leads the value of lodging, the emperor will reward him, silk, silk, goods, and even cattle and horses, never in vain.

To be honest, all this is due to the emperor's favor to Li Chengzhi, and has nothing to do with others.But Li Chengzhi never enjoys it to himself, he owns at most [-]%, and the remaining [-]% is shared among his subordinates.

And never greedy for merit and fame, only called it a gift from His Majesty, and rewarded it to everyone.

As for taking the lead, not to mention, Li Chengzhi has achieved the ultimate.

Don't talk about stirring the same pot with the soldiers, he must be there in the drills, and he will only practice more than the soldiers.He must also be on duty inside and outside the palace, and he will only stand longer than the tiger warrior.

Even if it is a stone, it can be warmed to three points after a long time, not to mention that the emperor and his warriors are living people...

Therefore, no matter how much the emperor loves and trusts Li Chengzhi, Yuan Yuan will never be jealous, only admire him.

Because he can't.

People have preferences and biases.Yuan Yuan asked himself that he would never be able to treat the Zong family's children as equally as Li Chengzhi's sons.

It is also impossible to make money in such a way as Li Chengzhi, who treats money as nothing.It is even more impossible for Li Chengzhi to lead by example.

He would never be able to bear the pain of training alone...

Therefore, don't think that the eight words "clear rewards and punishments, lead by example" are so simple, but it is difficult and difficult to do.

Yuan Yan likes to exploit the most, loves to take shortcuts, I don't know how many times more treacherous than him, telling him such a truth is undoubtedly playing the piano with a cow, so Yuan Yuan opened his mouth lazily.

The palace gate was closed, and Li Chengzhi and his subordinate Huben could no longer be seen.Yuan Yuan sighed secretly, then waved his sleeves again: "Keep your palace gate safe!"

The second monk Yuan Yanzhang couldn't figure it out, looking at Yuan Yuan's back entering the hall, he muttered: You said it well, why did you suddenly change your face?
He was used to being scolded a long time ago, so he didn't care at all, and quickly climbed up the palace wall.

When I looked again, Li Chengzhi had already left Taiji City and arrived at Duanmen.

You idiot, don't kick a stone by patronizing your loyalty to the emperor...

……

Just after leaving Miyagi, Li Chengzhi's advance soldiers summoned Li Liang.

Although the palace was in chaos, because the emperor had issued a seal order, no one in the public knew that there was a shocking change in the palace.Although Li Chengzhi did not return home for seven or eight days, he often stayed away for three to five days or six or seven days when he was on duty in Huben or serving in the palace.

Seeing that Li Chengzhi's face was sallow, he was a little sluggish, and he was riding a car instead of a horse.Li Liang was suspicious for a moment, but then he was distracted by the order of the car.

When he recognized what it was, Li Liang almost bit his tongue.

Jingjie?

This thing can mobilize the army, and it must be given by the governor and governor of a state, but now it is inserted in the official car of the gentleman?
No wonder all five hundred tigers were dispatched?
Just imagine that if only thirty or fifty people are used as guards of honor, the officials and censors are not allowed to participate in the death of Li Chengzhi?

It's just that I don't know why all the members are wearing armor, let alone why the emperor suddenly granted the Lang Jun Jing Festival.

In an instant, Li Liangfei had countless thoughts, but he suppressed them one by one.

He tentatively called out: "Lang Jun?"

"No big deal!"

Although he said so, Li Chengzhi's face was cold and stern, and his voice was cold: "After returning to the mansion, the tofu and refined salt workshops will be shut down, one month's salary will be paid in advance, and all the laborers and craftsmen will be dismissed. Buy more rice every day, and then close the house behind closed doors...

In addition, I have already edited two books, you bring them to your father, and ask him to take the second letter to visit Sikong, and borrow the two hundred soldiers I trained with Sikong before, and place them in the mansion..."

Li Liang's heart tightened, but he didn't dare to ask when the words came to his lips.

This is clearly a major event, and Mr. Lang asked the family to treat it as a war.And it would definitely not be a trivial matter, otherwise nearly sixty well-trained retainers would not be enough, and Gao Zhao was asked to borrow troops?

"Don't panic, just be prepared!"

Li Chengzhi said in relief, "I will greet my parents when I go back to the descendants, so that they don't have to worry, let alone guess..."

After confessing, Li Chengzhi reached into his arms and handed the two envelopes to Li Liang.

Up to now, everything has been told to others. These two letters were written under the noses of Liu Teng, Yuan Hui and others.Indeed, as Li Chengzhi said, the letter was to greet his parents and tell him to close the door of the house and take strict precautions.The other letter is to borrow soldiers from Gao Zhao.

We all know that Li Chengzhi is taking precautions that if something is found out, the thieves may be forced to jump over the wall, so just in case.Liu Teng also persuaded him to move the whole family into the inner city.But Li Chengzhi only said that there are too many servants and there is no suitable place to place them...

In fact, he was afraid that if something happened, he would be wiped out by others.

Stay outside the city, at least there is a way to escape...

Li Liang took the envelope, his hands trembling slightly: "Your Majesty, why don't you let me lead Li Rui and others to accompany you?"

"Can you enter the palace?"

Li Chengzhi smiled softly: "There are five hundred tiger warriors here, why should you worry? Go back!"

Li Liang gritted his teeth, jumped on his horse, and ran out of the city...
