Chapter 319 Imperial Decree
Chapter 319: Imperial Order
The people in the capital felt a little scared again, and the war was approaching them once again.
The trauma brought by the war is difficult to heal. Even though Yu Qian prepared more thoroughly last time and the unprecedented unity of the people in the capital gave Yexian a heavy blow and repelled Yexian's attack. Despite this, many people were still injured in the war and many families lost their relatives. This was undoubtedly a great trauma for the people who longed for peace. Only a few months later, the war came again. Although the enemy had not yet been found, from the ordinary mobilization of the imperial army, he knew that the court had fought again.
Because of Jiang Lang's return, the court once again put the issue of who would command the troops. Yu Qian and Emperor Jingtai meant that Jiang Lang was the commander. Originally, Yu Qian was still waiting for Jiang Lang's reply, but time had not waited for anyone, so he simply did not consider Jiang Lang's intention. After nearly an hour of argument, the matter finally settled and Jiang Lang became commander again. At this time, Jiang Lang was talking to Yingzong in the south.
Jiang Lang and Qian Zhengbang went out of the south gate. Seeing that it was getting late, they planned to go back to their home first. After lunch, they returned to the East Factory. However, they didn't expect that halfway through the way, they heard someone calling him loudly. When they turned their heads, they found that Sun Yuanbiao was approaching him quickly, so they pulled the reins and waited for Sun Yuanbiao's arrival.
After Sun Yuanbiao rode his horse close to Jianglang, he pulled the reins and said, "Sir, Eunuch Qian is waiting for the factory guards. Please go back quickly?"
Jiang Lang grabbed the reins and felt a little surprised. Although Mr. Qian was nominally the deputy factory supervisor of Dongchang, he rarely came to Dongchang, and he could not control the Dongchang now. He suddenly came to Dongchang in broad daylight. Why?
He was puzzled again, and Jiang Lang also asked, "What did he do when he came to the factory guard?"
After carefully looking around, Sun Yuanbiao replied: "Sir, Eunuch Qian is here to read the imperial edict from the court. There is no information yet for what happened."
"Is it..."
Jiang Lang suddenly guessed what the content of the imperial edict was, but he didn't expect that the imperial edict would come so quickly. You must know that he had discussed with Yu Qian yesterday that he would go back and discuss with the third prince. He didn't expect that the imperial edict would be issued so soon. Moreover, Yu Qian said yesterday that the court still had a lot of controversy over his appointment as the commander of the army. Why did the matter of the early court settle down? It can be seen that it was very likely that it was forcibly passed in the morning court today.
However, now that the imperial edict has been reached by the factory guard, I have to accept it, that is to resist the imperial edict. So Jiang Lang pulled the reins and said, "You go back first, find a way to keep the old man Qian at the factory guard, and then send someone to send my official uniform. I still have to change my clothes!"
Now Jiang Lang is wearing casual clothes. If he is discovered by Eunuch Qian and others, he will definitely go back to report to Emperor Jingtai. He will definitely be suspicious by the emperor by nature and send someone to investigate secretly. If he learns that he has secretly met Yingzong, he will definitely think that he and Yingzong are colluding with him and want to be unfavorable to him. Those who become emperor are afraid that others will take over his territory. Once suspicious, it may be unfavorable to him in the end.
Sun Yuanbiao followed Jiang Lang for a long time. Seeing Jiang Lang's outfit, he knew what Jiang Lang wanted to do it himself. Without saying much, he bowed and rode his horse straight to the East Factory.
After Sun Yuanbiao left, Jiang Lang and Qian Zhengbang rushed to the factory guards. Sun Yuanbiao sent someone to deliver clothes to the clothes and met smoothly halfway. After finding a remote place to change the clothes, Jiang Lang returned to the factory guards and walked in swaggeringly. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Eunuch Qian paced back and forth in the lobby, full of anxiety, and Sun Yuanbiao and Yu Rong were accompanying him.
After sorting out his official uniform, Jiang Lang strode towards the lobby, then bowed and laughed: "Oh, isn't this Mr. Qian? What wind has blown you, you are such a rare guest!"
As soon as he heard Jiang Lang's voice, the anxiety on Mr. Qian's face was immediately replaced by happiness. He quickly stepped forward a few steps and bowed back and said, "Where are my factory supervisors? Where did you go this morning? Let our family wait."
Jiang Lang laughed and said, "I came back yesterday and came to the factory guard today. I've been here for a month. I handed over such a big stall as Dongchang to these bastards. I don't know what it was like. I'm going to see it this time. I didn't expect that this time I went there for a whole morning. If Sun Yuanbiao hadn't told me that Eunuch Qian was here, I was still inspecting now!"
"You are such a busy person!"
Eunuch Qian smiled and said, "I'm not the time, but the emperor asked me to do things, so I have to hurry up."
Jiang Lang still had a smile on his face and said, "This is a difficult time for my father-in-law. I think it's cold and I'm sorry for you to run so far, but what are you doing, this emperor...!"
Jiang Lang didn't finish his words, and then waited for Mr. Qian to speak.
Sure enough, when the grandfather Qian heard this, he understood what Jiang Lang meant, bowed and smiled, "We have to congratulate you here first. I'm here to report the good news this time."
After saying that, he took out something from his sleeve and said loudly: "The East Factory Supervisor Wang Dacai received the order!"
Sun Yuanbiao and others immediately stood behind Jiang Lang, and then knelt down with Jiang Lang.
At this time, Eunuch Qian also launched the imperial edict in his hand, and then said loudly: "In accordance with the will of heaven, the emperor ordered that the Wasans are ambitious and want to be unfavorable to our Ming Dynasty. First, he appointed Wang Dacai, the governor of the East Factory, as the general of the expedition, and led the army of 400,000 to attack the Wasans, and then he could take office! I admire this!"
"Long live my emperor!"
Jiang Lang and others immediately said in unison, then Jiang Lang knelt straight, took the imperial edict respectfully, and then stood up.
At this time, Eunuch Qian bowed and smiled: "Sir, my family is here for congratulations. The emperor trusts you so much, don't let the emperor down!"
"That's natural!"
Jiang Lang smiled faintly and handed over the imperial edict in his hand to Sun Yuanbiao behind him, then said: "But the emperor really loves the ministers very well. I have entrust such an important task to the ministers. I am really worried that it will be insulted by the emperor!"
Eunuch Qian shook his head quickly and said, "Sir, you are so humble. Who can compare with you in the Ming Dynasty? In terms of talent and martial arts, who can compare with you? The position of commanding the army is yours. I don't understand now. Why do the adults in the court still doubt you? Let them go? They can't even take this knife. Let's talk about others. Let's talk about these people the most!"
Jiang Lang smiled and said, "The adults naturally have their concerns. After all, this is not a joke. It is related to the life and death of countless soldiers. Those adults are also worried that I am too young and that I have little experience and cannot deal with such cunning enemies like Yesian."
"That's because they don't understand!"
Eunuch Qian said in a very atmosphere, "What are they? They know what saints say. When they ask them how to fight, they can't say it. They are all talking about wars on paper, but the emperor has the vision and recognizes that you are the most suitable candidate. He is against the public and insists on you as the commander. But the next thing is that it depends on the general. There must be something ignorant about it, so you must be careful."
Eunuch Qian is also true. Although Wang Zhen is dead, there will never be only one faction in the court. Naturally, not everyone is thinking about the court. There are many people who are for their own selfish interests. Now that he has served as the commander of the army, some people will definitely not pay, and some people will definitely disobey. At this time, he has to find a way to punish him, otherwise he will be suppressed by the people below. At that time, he will not command the troops, and then he will definitely lose this battle!
So Jiang Lang nodded and said, "My dear Master Xie, I naturally have a way to deal with these ignorant things. If they are willing to be the second Wei Jinzhong, I don't mind!"
When Jiang Lang talked about Wei Jinzhong, Eunuch Qian couldn't help but feel cold. He remembered that he watched Wei Jinzhong break his neck by Jiang Lang's hand. Thinking of that scene, Eunuch Qian had not had a good sleep for a long time, and his neck couldn't help but feel cold. Now when Jiang Lang mentioned it, he felt a little timid in his heart, and his face was abnormal. He hurriedly said, "Indeed, who doesn't know the reputation of lord? I guess no one dares to make trouble!"
Jiang Lang laughed, patted Mr. Qian on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "No one is the best. If there is someone, I will not spare him. Since you are out today, don't rush back. Have a good drink with me. I'm happy today!"
"this……!"
Eunuch Qian hesitated immediately.
"how?"
Jiang Lang looked stern and said, "Don't you give me this face?"
"No, no!"
Eunuch Qian waved his hand quickly and said, "I don't mean this, I just...!"
"Don't just do anything!"
Jiang Lang waved his hand and said, "Let's go, have a few drinks with me!"
After finishing the wine with Eunuch Qian, it was already afternoon. After ordering people to send Eunuch Qian back, Jiang Lang rode back to the factory guards by himself, planning to arrange to send troops and go home. After all, the imperial edict from the court was so anxious that he probably wouldn't have to send troops to the border today, so he had to go back to inform his family in advance.
As soon as I arrived at the factory guard, I saw Jiang Ling waiting at the door. The winter in the north was very cold. The little girl's face turned red because of the cold, and she didn't live there to jump for warmth. Qian Zhengbang was waiting in front, looking helpless.
When he walked to the door, Jiang Ling also came up. Jiang Lang pointed at Qian Zhengbang with a whip and scolded him, "What are you doing? This Xiaoling is the lady's favorite girl. She doesn't stay in the house here, and she is frozen outside?"
Qian Zhengbang looked helpless and said, "Sir, it's not that I didn't call me, but Aunt Xiaoling just doesn't go in. I can't use force, right?"
When Jiang Ling saw Jiang Lang blaming Qian Zhengbang, she felt a little unbearable and said, "Master, don't blame Brother Qian, it's not that he doesn't allow me to go in, but that I don't want to go in!"
"You girl!"
Jiang Lang was a little angry. Although Jiang Ling was wearing a lot of clothes, it was very cold outside after all. After staying for a long time, she frowned slightly and said, "Everything is good in this room. Why do you have to go to the factory guard to get cold? Did you annoy your wife?"
"No!"
Jiang Ling quickly defended her, "Madam is so nice to me, how could I annoy her? It was the lady who asked me to come here and asked me to ask the adults to go back quickly. If I don't go back, the family will not be able to hold it anymore!"|
Jiang Lang suddenly felt a little confused and said wonderingly: "What can't be done!"
Jiang Ling stretched out two fingers and said, "The first is the person, the second is the gift. I don't know how it was this afternoon. The adults from the court went into the mansion one by one, and they all brought gifts in their hands. My wife and I were wondering, but they didn't know what happened, but the ones who came were all the adults from the court, and we couldn't keep them all out of the door. It was cold and the news was so cold that it made others laugh at it. But later on, something became more and more wrong. There were more and more people coming here, and they didn't leave as soon as they came. That was the situation that they wouldn't leave if you didn't see you today. The lady saw that it was not a solution, so she asked Tianxianglou to prepare wine and food, and delivered it to you in the evening, and then sent me to come over to find you and ask you to go back quickly."
After Jiang Ling said this, Jiang Lang suddenly understood what happened. It must be those adults who came to congratulate him for being promoted to commander. The reason why he hurried to his home to congratulate him. They also knew that if this battle was won, then no one in the entire court could compare with his position in the military. However, he was still a little puzzled about why Zi Ling arranged Jiang Ling to come to Jiang Lang and said strangely: "Isn't there anyone in this mansion? Why did you send you here because of the cold weather?"
When Jiang Ling heard Jiang Lang ask this, she looked helpless and said, "Master, you don't know. The mansion is now in chaos. There are not many servants in the mansion. When so many people come, there are no enough servants in the mansion. Just pouring tea and handing water, I can't be busy. Even the wife's guards have to help the servants now. Apart from me, the wife really can't find anyone to notify you!"
Because Jiang Lang had few families and only four little guys, there were not many servants in the entire mansion. If a few people came, they could still deal with it easily. However, when encountering this situation today, the manpower seemed a little short of money and was not enough. After all, the person who came was an official from the court, and he was not an ordinary person and could not be neglected.
Jiang Lang was very clear about the situation at his home, and understood that Jiang Ling was all about the truth. He didn't delay it at the moment, so he said to Qian Zhengbang: "Take a group of brothers and go back to the mansion first. Now many adults in the court are in the mansion, so there can't be any trouble. It's hard to say at that time! Also, order people to prepare a carriage!"
Now the guards in the mansion have been called by Zi Ling to play guest roles. The defense in the mansion is the most relaxed time. If there are ulterior motives at this time, they will hurt those adults and in the mansion of the dignified Dongchang Factory Supervisor. If it is spread, it will be a huge joke.
"Sir, I'll ride a horse!"
When Jiang Ling heard Jiang Lang calling Qian Zhengbang to prepare the carriage, Jiang Ling immediately knew Jiang Lang’s intention.
Jiang Lang deliberately said with a stern face, "I came back from making a carriage for me honestly. It was cold and the weather was cold. Moreover, what would a girl look like when riding a horse in the city?"
After saying that, he was also looking at Jiang Ling, and turned around and rode on his horse, saying to Sun Yuanbiao, "Go back with me!" Then he turned over and headed straight for the mansion.
Despite the biting cold wind, Jianglang hung Zi Ling in the mansion and ran wildly along the way. He didn't take much time to arrive at the door of his house. After entering the house, as Zi Ling said, the whole house was in a mess, and the living room in the house was crowded with people, with many servants interspers pouring tea and handing water, while Zi Ling was busy greeting the officials.
I don’t know who had the sharp eyes. When I saw Jiang Lang appear, I quickly shouted, “Mr. Wang is back!”
This shout was a slaughter that caused a thousand waves. The sitting adults stood up and looked at Jiang Lang together.
"Hello, sirs!"
Jiang Lang looked smiling and bowed, "There are many people now, so I can't say hello to you little by little."
"Hello, Lord Wang!"
The officials quickly said that the hall was very lively for a moment.
While greeting these officials, Jiang Lang also paid careful attention and found that the majority of officials below the third rank accounted for. It seemed that he had seen his promotion come to congratulate him, but I don’t know how much this sincere congratulations are. As the saying goes, people’s hearts are separated from the belly.
After the greeting was finished, Jiang Lang smiled and said, "To be honest, I have received this imperial edict from the court. I am here to thank you for your trust and support for me. If you hadn't done your work, this position of commander would not belong to me, Mr. Wang!"
"Sir, too humble!"
One of the officials immediately said, "The master is a dragon and a phoenix among people, and a hero among people. If you don't sit in this position of commander, no one dares to sit. In terms of kung fu and strategy, how many people in this court can match you now? If you postpone it, I think no one in this court can be competent!"
As soon as this was said, it immediately aroused the echoes of many officials, and some people said, "So this time, we absolutely believe that the lord will definitely succeed. What is the tile tile? We went deep into the old man alone, not only did we beat the tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile tile t
"Not bad, not bad!"
Some officials were afraid of falling behind and said, "Who is Wang Zhen? He is just a eunuch! How could he be compared with Lord Wang?"
The officials were full of praise, and Jiang Lang couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Thinking about the time when Wang Zhen was tyrannical, these people also praised Wang Zhen in this way. But now that Wang Zhen is dead, he has become the best person to flatter them. In their hearts, Wang Zhen is dead anyway, and Wang Zhen is extremely guilty, and no one dares to come out to say good things to him. Even if he is scolded so much that it doesn't matter.
At the same time, Jiang Lang felt a little sad for these officials. The one-level official position was one million miles apart. In fact, few of these people really came to congratulate him, and few were willing to congratulate him. However, because he was the son-in-law of the Third Prince, the current Junma, the factory supervisor of the Dongchang, and now he served as the commander of the attack on Wasai. If he deliberately made trouble for others, few people would probably get out of it. This is the reason. Whether he knew him or not, he would be familiar with him.
While listening to the endless admiration of these officials, Jiang Lang had to smile politely on the other hand. Although he was very unwilling to these things, or was very shameless, Jiang Lang also understood that this was the officialdom, whether it was false or true, he had to greet him with a smile after being an official for so many years.
This politeness was polite to the evening. Fortunately, Zi Ling had prepared a lot and asked someone to prepare the meal. However, the general's mansion was not very large, and there were many officials from the court, so she arranged to entertain these adults in Tianxianglou.
Whether it was really happy or fake, Jiang Lang had a good time that night, and was drunk unconsciously. In the end, Sun Yuanbiao and others helped him back.
Chapter completed!
