A short letter of debt... no, a short letter of apology... no, a short letter of imperial edict, which contains a lot of information.
Outside the Marshal's house, the generals kneeling on the ground were confused.
This IOU, which was nominally an imperial edict, not a warning, but a bit apologetic, and similar in format to a letter of commitment, made everyone aware of several issues.
First, the most obvious problem is that the emperor is indeed his mother issuing an IOU, and his tone is particularly humble, and it is written in the first person.
Second, Chu Qing, the supervisor of the third level and the commander of the Thousand Cavalry Camp, actually... actually plundered tens of millions of dollars from the capital and went to the border to spread the money!
Thirdly, the emperor who was decisive and quick to ascend the throne seemed to owe Chu Qing something. No, it wasn’t that he owed Chu Qing, it just gave everyone a very strange feeling. This feeling was like King Langya shouting “Pestle Corpse, Pestle Corpse” while talking to Chu Qing. The way she puts on a flattering smile is very...how should I put it, very cute, and this feeling is revealed in every line of her words.
Confused, stunned, shocked, and then accepted.
Everyone suddenly felt that Chu Qing must have some serious illness in his head.
This is no longer the emperor's favorite minister. It's hard to say who favors whom. Chu Qing, the "holy grace", still has ten million yuan in his pocket. Why is he coming to the border to enjoy the blessings in the capital? It's just you and the emperor. Friendship, it's not difficult to be a duke of the country, isn't it? If you don't have a disease in your brain, you come to the border to suffer this crime, and you go to the battle in person, what else is it if you don't have a disease?
Hu Xiao rolled up the imperial edict, looked at the many generals, and asked cautiously: "Master Chu, what kind of injury did you suffer?"
At this moment, Hu Xiao was extremely sure that Chu Qing's "injury" would determine his longevity.
Fu San walked over and grabbed the imperial edict: "Bring it to you."
Hu Xiao's face turned cold: "This imperial edict is for Lord Chu. Who are you, a coward..."
"My name is Fu San!"
"So you are the Third Master." Hu Xiao's face changed instantly, and then he took out ten silver notes from his arms and hurriedly handed them to Fu San.
A group of generals were dumbfounded.
They have heard of others giving money to eunuchs, but they have never heard of eunuchs who declare decrees taking the initiative to give money to others.
In fact, it was because the news from the border army was lagging behind, and it was also due to the lack of attention paid to Beijing.
In today's capital, everyone from the courtiers to the traffickers and lackeys knows that Chu Qing, the leader of Qianqi Camp, has a loser named Fu San next to him.
It doesn't matter what this guy's name is. What's important is that Chu Qing once called this bitch named Fu San "Third Brother" on different occasions and in public. So everyone knows that these two people are as good as brothers. Yes, it can be said that they are inseparable.
There were even rumors from the Qianqi Camp and the Ministry of War that whoever provoked Chu Qing might not die, but whoever provoked Fu San next to Chu Qing, Chu Qing would definitely let him die!
Moreover, servants of all the wealthy families in Beijing, whether they are servants, nurses, maids, or housekeepers, all take Fu San as their role model and idol. Being a nurse and Fu San is basically the ceiling level in this field. .
Fu San frowned and looked at Hu Xiao with squinting eyes: "It's just Shi Guan, who are you trying to humiliate?"
As soon as he stretched out his hand, Fu San took out a pile of banknotes from his sleeve, which must be more than 100,000 yuan.
The expressions of Ma Rujing and others did not reveal the slightest surprise.
Now even if Fusan pulled out a Pikachu from his sleeve, they were no longer surprised.
Hu Xiao's face was full of embarrassment. Fu San flicked the ten-guan banknote, but finally put it in his sleeve.
"Assuming you know the truth, my young master will be fine."
"Is this true?"
"I say no hindrance means no hindrance."
Hu Xiao felt relieved: "That's good, that's good."
A group of generals stood up, as if collectively realizing something, they suddenly turned their heads and looked at Xiao Zhi, who looked pale.
Xiao Zhi swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and his back was covered with cold sweat.
Among this group of generals and lieutenants, only one person had offended Chu Qing, Xiao Zhi, and Ma Rujing.
Everyone knows the details of Xiao Zhi causing trouble in the Marshal's Mansion.
Originally, everyone thought that Chu Qing was a bit sinister and deliberately let Xiao Zhi point his sword at King Langya, which almost became a major crime against the Nine Clan.
Looking back now, everyone realizes that Chu Qing is so damn benevolent and righteous.
If Xiao Zhi had not pointed his sword at King Langya, but Chu Qing had puffed out his chest and waved it in front of the sword, and this matter had been reported back to the capital, Xiao Zhi would never have survived more than two months.
Even the "victim" Xiao Zhi suddenly realized that Chu Jianzheng was so damn righteous!
With this background, this love for the emperor... No, with this favor from the emperor, he only spanked himself for half a month, a small amount for two days, a large amount for five days, it was so righteous.
Everyone thinks that Xiao Zhi's luck is not pricked by a needle.
But the next second, everyone looked at Ma Rujing again.
Comrade Lao Ma has already begun to calculate in his mind.
Is my surname now spelled positive or negative?
If the character "horse" is written upside down so many times, it should be... 50-50.
At this moment, Ma Rujing also realized that there was something wrong with his mouth.
Now that I think about it, everything I said seems to have "worked", and it's scary how accurate it is!
The identity of King Langya, Chu Qing's money, IOUs, and the affairs of the mole, one by one...
Thinking of this, Ma Rujing looked slightly confused and muttered to himself with a bit of uncertainty.
"Before the end of this year, the Liang bandits must be wiped out. Otherwise, my surname, Ma Rujing..."
Ma Rujing looked at everyone, raised his eyebrows, and said with a bit of uncertainty in his tone: "Read it backwards?"
A group of generals nodded their heads like chickens pecking at rice.
Tian Hailong's face was filled with relief.
You can say something useful.
Hu Xiao looked at Fu San cautiously: "Third Master, I...Old slave, can I have a look at Mr. Chu?"
In fact, there is another thing that Hu Xiao heard about.
The little eunuch waiting in the Jingyi Hall every day told him that after the new year, the emperor would no longer call Chu Qing Chu Qing or that boy or a bitch, but instead call him Lao Shi!
"I'm asleep. I haven't gotten up yet. Let's talk about it when we get up."
"Oh, okay, okay, I'm waiting at the door."
Fu San rolled his eyes: "Come in and wait."
Just like the real master of the Marshal's Mansion, Fu San Tuan Ba Tuan Ba Tuanba stuffed the imperial edict into his arms, returned to the outside of the main hall, and continued to sit on the threshold and wait patiently.
Third brother, Hu Xiao, a group of generals would not dare to do this. You must know that although eunuchs are slaves, they are slaves of the heavenly family. It is not a big deal to disrespect the eunuch who delivers the imperial edict.
Everyone quickly led Hu Xiao into the main hall, and Tian Hailong also poured tea himself.
After everyone sat down again, they felt a little embarrassed.
It was originally a celebration banquet. This was a rule and a tradition. No matter how many people died in the battle, although everyone was sad in their hearts, they had to force themselves to smile and gather together.
But now, the atmosphere is very awkward.
Everyone shut up and said nothing.
They were afraid that if they spoke or made any noise, they would disturb Chu Qing in the bedroom in the backyard.
In the capital, tens of millions of dollars were taken from various aristocratic families, but they were all thrown at the border and spent on the border troops. Regarding this matter, everyone felt that no matter how much they pampered Chu Qing, they could not do it too much.
It has nothing to do with Chu Wensheng, nothing to do with his official position, and nothing to do with the emperor. This one thing is enough to explain everything.
The reason why everyone admires Feng Luo is because Feng Shuaisheng donated all the Feng family's huge fortune to the frontier army, reducing a wealthy family to nothing.
Feng Luo only toiled a family, or his own family, to spend up to two or three hundred thousand yuan.
Chu Qing was even more ruthless, tossing dozens of families and getting tens of millions of dollars to the border.
Tian Hailong poured a cup of tea for Ma Rujing, who was still in a daze, and said with a mean smile: "Commander, I will finally accept your words. You are right every time, I am amazing."
Ma Rujing was quite proud. Just as he was about to nod, he suddenly realized that he was not praising himself.
But if you shake your head, Comrade Lao Ma really feels that his criticism is brilliant.
Tian Hailong looked at everyone with a look of admiration on his face: "Master Chu is also very powerful. He can manage people's livelihood with literary skills and kill enemies with military skills. He is indeed a general."
When Chu Qing was praised, everyone immediately agreed with him.
Niu Ren was the first to express his agreement: "I saw more than three thousand Liang bandits last night. I didn't care about luring the enemy deeper, so I could only take action outside the mountains and forests in advance. The time, place and people were favorable, so I didn't take advantage of them. I wanted to fight with them." Erlang's thoughts of dying on the battlefield, who would have thought that not only was Chu Jianzheng on that slope, but he also dared to lead his followers around behind Anatu and attack Huanglong. If not, hey, I would go back to camp and owe Chu Jianzheng A huge favor.”
Zhang Chengxiao also smiled bitterly and said: "In the beginning, I also saw that Chu Jianzheng was unhappy and very domineering, but he had the capital to be domineering. This Wangyuan City is changing day by day, all because of Chu Jianzheng."
"Yes, there is also a medical clinic outside our military camp. The doctors have also gone there. They can treat the soldiers tomorrow."
"Those grains and grass were sent by Mr. Chu's order..."
"It is said that there are actors in the city, and they will go to the camp to sing in the next few days..."
A group of people looked at each other with a flattering look, praising Chu Qing as if they were omnipotent.
Comrade Lao Ma was unhappy again and said angrily: "Look at what you are saying, as if he is a god."
Tian Hailong smiled and said: "I'm not a god, Sai Shenxian has done everything he said and didn't say."
"Ha." Ma Rujing sneered again and again: "He also said that he would find two hundred veteran wolf hunters within thirty days. Did he do it? Isn't it also a matter of boasting about Haikou but disappearing?"
"Hey, Marshal, don't tell me. Mr. Chu is in charge of the Thousand Cavalry Camp and has good relations with the Ministry of War. He might actually be able to find him."
"How can he find an old soldier who has taken off his armor? Why would he join the army again? If he could come back, why would he take off his armor? If he could find him, my surname, Ma Rujing..."
A soldier ran in in a hurry, with excitement on his face: "Commander, two hundred soldiers came from the south gate, and they turned out to be... the warriors of the wolf-catching army back then. They said they were looking for Lord Chu!"
Everyone was stunned again, looking at Ma Rujing blankly, with their mouths wide open.
Zhongzhou's number one divine prophet, if anyone says it's not Lao Ma, these generals will have to fight hard.
Ma Rujing was stunned for only a moment, and then he lowered his head suddenly, closed his eyes tightly, clenched his fists and muttered to himself, speaking very fast.
"Before the New Year's Eve, the cool thieves will be destroyed. Before the New Year's close, the cool thieves will be destroyed. Before the New Year's close, the cool thieves will be destroyed..."
Tian Hailong reminded: "Commander, you must add your last name."
"Yes, yes, yes, that's right."
Ma Rujing was very nervous and started mumbling to himself again.
"Before the New Year, the Liang thief will not be exterminated, and my Ma Rujing's surname will be reversed. Before the New Year, the Liang thief will not be exterminated, and my Ma Rujing's surname will be reversed."
The other generals didn't know whether to laugh or cry, thinking that Ma Rujing was possessed by a demon.
The two sides have been fighting for more than a hundred years, and they will be destroyed at any time. Even if you predict it, it will never come true. It is too fantastic.
After reciting it four or five times, Ma Rujing opened his eyes, let out a big breath, and then suddenly became happy.
"Hey, if before the end of the new year, the cold thieves are really eradicated, wouldn't it be the credit of this commander? Hahahahahaha."
Everyone: "..."
