After chasing for a while, under the leadership of the animals, we rode over hills one after another, and finally came to a relatively flat grassland. The grassland in front of me is the kind of grassland with lush green grass. The grass is conservatively estimated to be one meter long.
The animals we were chasing ran into the grassland at this time, as if they had cast an invisibility spell, and each one disappeared into the vast green.
The regent said loudly: "On this grassland, everyone is free to hunt. The one who comes out on top today will be rewarded with ten gold coins by me. Let's start."
As the regent shouted loudly, the crowd suddenly cheered up and galloped towards the vast prairie like wild horses running wild.
I waved back, and Dalong and Dabiao rode forward.
I pointed at the hill in front and said: "Dalong, take two guards and go to the hill in front. Grab your rifle and look down from a high position. If a thief approaches, fire a warning shot immediately."
Dalong responded, led a few guards from the palace, and a few horses, and immediately galloped away.
I pointed to another hill in the distance and said to Da Biao: "Da Biao, you also take two guards to the hill in the north. Be careful to stay hidden. If anyone approaches here, fire a warning shot immediately."
Da Biao also responded, and then he took several guards from the palace, clapped their horses and galloped away.
I patted my horse and walked forward: "Your Majesty, Prince Regent, let's stay on this grassland. We have people on those two hills. Once a thief approaches, they will immediately fire a warning shot."
The regent nodded with satisfaction: "Yes, I feel much safer. Shanfeng, this place is a hundred miles away, and it is the world of my Eight Banners. Don't be so nervous. Hey, you might as well take care of these beasts all over the grassland. Hunt freely, if you come out on top, I will reward you with ten gold coins. How about it?"
I chuckled: "Prince Regent, your and the emperor's safety comes first. I don't dare to run around. Oh, it's a pity for these gold coins."
The regent chuckled: "Not necessarily. If you didn't grab the gold coins, you probably collected a lot. I heard that your tent was very lively last night."
I suddenly felt a little embarrassed: "You all know. Yes, Shanfeng got more than ten gold coins last night with the favor of the regent and the emperor. However, before the gold coins could be used to cover up the heat, the nineteen counties The king deceived a lot. If I had known that this gold coin was so precious, I would never have spent it casually like this."
The Prince Regent burst into laughter upon hearing my complaint.
Regent: "It's this old nineteen again, and he comes to beat you again. This guy is like this. I will teach him a lesson later."
Me: "I dare not trouble the regent. It is my fault that I do not know the treasures. It is the fault of the nineteen princes of the counties to make them rich. Shanfeng has nothing to say."
The regent laughed loudly: "Okay. If you get gold coins later, you can use them to trade with me. For one gold coin, I will give you a hundred taels of gold. But from now on, don't pay attention to Old Nineteen anymore, he will If I want to trouble you, I can come directly to this king."
Me: "Thank you, Prince Regent, for taking the decision."
After listening to the regent's words, I gradually understood that the reason why the gold coins were so valuable was that the regent purchased them later. This routine is a complete hype. This regent is so advanced, he is not simple.
On the prairie of Inner Mongolia, everyone worked hard for a day, and finally they killed the two tigers. One of the warriors who killed the tiger was a young man from the clan of Zhenghuang Banner, and the other was the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu.
The young man with the yellow flag just gave in. After all, he was young, strong, and skilled with bow and horse. If he can fight a tiger and come out on top, he must be really capable.
But this is not the case with the Governor of Shaanxi and Gansu, because the Governor of Shaanxi and Gansu is an old man in his seventies. This old man still struggles to ride a horse. How does he draw a bow and set an arrow? How did he defeat the tiger? There must be something wrong here.
I was muttering this in my mind, while the regent kept smiling. I saw him take twenty gold coins from the guard next to him, ten of which were rewarded to the young man of Zhenghuang Banner, and the other ten were rewarded to the Governor of Shaanxi and Gansu with a smile.
The excited Governor of Shaanxi and Gansu burst into tears. He grabbed Zaifeng and kept talking about serving the country until death. He kept flattering and showing his loyalty. I felt dizzy when I saw it. This is too ridiculous. Was it the tiger you shot?
Seemingly sensing my confusion, Wugege secretly said to me: "Master, you are not a member of the officialdom, so you don't know how precious this gold coin is. In addition to being able to exchange gold for the regent, this gold coin can also be used to exchange for official positions." ."
What? I was taken aback. Can this thing really change your official position?
Zai Na continued: "The Governor of Shaanxi and Gansu is getting older. Some time ago, Seventh Brother wanted to find someone to replace him and let him return to his hometown for retirement. But this guy is old-minded and wants to continue, and he is still working under Seventh Brother The house was so full of weeping that my seventh brother couldn't bear it anymore, so he asked him to find 30 gold coins in exchange for the position of governor of Shaanxi and Gansu. I originally thought that the old man would come down. Who knows, I don't know what trick he used today. He unexpectedly won the first prize and got ten more gold coins all at once. I think he will be the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu next year."
I suddenly realized, no wonder this old man didn’t give me gold coins. It turned out that this guy wanted to use gold coins to buy an official position.
Me: "This old man wants him to be the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu? You see, his hair is white and he has trouble getting on the horse. Is this okay?"
Zai Na said helplessly: "This guy is very difficult to deal with. If he were not from the clan, I would have killed him long ago without Seventh Brother taking action."
The next few days of hunting in the grassland were peaceful, and no assassins ever appeared. However, this is just an illusion before the storm is about to come.
I also know clearly that this year is 1911, and the Wuchang Uprising will break out in October, and now it is early October, which means that the Wuchang Uprising will break out at any time.
I wanted to remind Zaifeng, but as a soul who has traveled through the 21st century, I know clearly that I cannot say these things in advance. Otherwise, it is very likely that he will be labeled as a person who is deceiving others. When the time comes, his own safety will be small and he will cause disaster to the teacher, which will be serious.
Moreover, if I remind Zaifeng now, he probably won’t believe it either. On the contrary, it will be counterproductive. Let our newly harmonious team atmosphere become fragmented and unmanageable.
On this day, we were hunting wild animals on the grassland again, and suddenly a fast horse galloped over.
After a while, he arrived in front of the regent. The man got off his horse and took out a bamboo tube from his body and presented it to the regent.
Soldier: "Prince Regent Chitose, there is an urgent document delivered."
The regent reached out and took it, then opened it and took a look. In an instant, his face changed drastically and his whole body was trembling.
Me: "Prince Regent, what's wrong with you?"
Regent: "Stay here today and go back to the military camp first. Come on, let's go back."
So I quickly called to the others and followed the regent all the way back to the barracks.
Returning to the military camp, the regent summoned the minister of military aircraft and all the governors, as well as some high-ranking royal nobles.
Then the regent delivered the urgent official business to everyone.
I stood behind the Prince Regent and watched the ministers in front of me circulate this official document. When these ministers saw the contents of the official document, they had different reactions. Some cursed, some cried, some were furious, and one fainted.
The regent shouted gloomily: "Take the Governor of Huguang into custody!"
The Governor of Huguang was the one who had just fainted on the ground. When he heard that the regent was about to take him into custody, he immediately woke up. Kneel down and kowtow. He kept shouting words like "spare my life, spare your life".
Unfortunately, not only did the regent ignore him, but everyone present insulted him.
Governor of Zhili: "Governor of Huguang, you deserved to die! What else do you have to say! If I were you, I would immediately die in front of the regent. You derelict dog!"
Governor of the three eastern provinces: "Governor of Huguang, if I were you, you would immediately draw your sword and kill yourself. You have let everyone down."
Among them, the Governor of Shaanxi and Gansu shouted the loudest: "Governor of Huguang, you have ruined my ancestors' inheritance. I will chop you up today!"
The Governor of Huguang was persecuted by so many people. He did not dare to refute a word, but kept kowtowing and begging for mercy.
Looking at this situation, I gradually realized that the Wuchang Uprising must have broken out. Wuchang was under the jurisdiction of the Governor of Huguang. When an uprising broke out in Wuchang, the Governor of Huguang was the first to bear the responsibility. It seems that things can't go any better today.
Suddenly, the Nineteenth County Prince pulled out a sword with a loud sound: "I will kill you!"
Several royal family members in the crowd immediately stopped him, and each grabbed the clothes, arms, etc. of the nineteen county princes.
Everyone: "Young boy nineteen is so impudent! You dare to wield a knife or a gun in front of the Regent! Put it away quickly!"
The Governor of Huguang was also horrified and fainted for the second time.
The regent shook his head in disappointment: "Someone, drag me out!"
Everyone shouted: "Drag him out! Drag him out!"
In a moment, the Governor of Huguang was dragged away, and the tent immediately became strangely calm. I knew that this was just the way it was before the storm came.
The prince of the Nineteenth County suddenly asked for orders: "Prince Regent, the Nineteenth Brother is willing to serve as the governor of Huguang. I will go and destroy those rebels!"
When everyone heard this, they immediately responded.
"I am not talented, but I am also willing to serve as the governor of Huguang to destroy the traitors! Give me a bright future for the Qing Dynasty!"
"The regent is a thousand years old, I am willing to go." "The regent is a thousand years old, and I am willing to go."
The regent watched a group of people competing for the prize in front of him. He just watched silently without saying a word.
At this time, a big man in the crowd said: "The regent is a thousand years old. The crisis in Huguang requires thunderous means. He is a great man but has no talent. I am willing to work hard for the regent to clear out the traitors and clean up the world."
