The Submissive Emperor - Chapter 56

“Asshole thing!” Emperor Chunde tightly squeezed the jade pendant in his hand. As soon as his front foot was abolished the prince, Xiao Chengduo dared to molest his ex-brother and sister-in-law.

“The emperor, if this matter is spread out, it is to shame the royal family, the third prince…” Lou Jing said half of his words, did not say anything, but leaned over again, “Just now Jiangzhou mountain bandits are rampant, and you can ask the emperor to enlighten him.” Leaving Beijing.”

Emperor Chunde was so angry that he walked around in the main hall. Hearing this, he calmed down a bit. Recently, because of eating elixir, he has a lot more energy than before, and his mind has also become more sober. This matter cannot be made public, nor can it be clearly punished by the third prince. It is a scandalous thing to be spread out, and it must be suppressed.

In this way, it would be inappropriate for Lou Jing to continue to stay in Beijing. The best way to avoid gossip is to distract people.

“Jiangzhou’s poor mountains and bad rivers, go there and do something, why don’t you set off for your father and go to Jinzhou.” Emperor Chunde felt very sorry for Lou Jing, so he wanted to release the weakening Lou’s family in advance and let him go to Jinzhou. The state takes care of his ancestral business.

“The emperor has sent the four princes to the expedition. If the ministers go again, it will definitely be eye-catching.” Lou Jing looked down, concealing the anxiety in his eyes. He didn’t want to go to Jinzhou at all at this moment. There is absolutely no reason to let a minister go out on behalf of his father.”

Emperor Chunde just remembered that Duke An Guo had already taken his service, but he never thought of assigning him an errand, he couldn’t help but sighed, “Well, you go back, and you will be waiting outside the hall tomorrow morning. I will give you the right to send troops.”

The Jiangzhou mountain bandits are rampant and they have been unable to cure them. Emperor Chunde also has a headache. This year, he specially transferred a courageous and tactical assassin to go before him. Who knows that as soon as he went to Jiangzhou, he began to fight the bandits with great fanfare and made Jiangzhou. The people are full of grievances. No matter how literary and martial arts, the governor was also a scholar, and compared with those from a family of military commanders, he was still a bit inferior, so it would be appropriate to send Lou Jing to him.

“Thank you for the emperor’s grace.” Lou Jing kowtowed his head and thanked him for his gratitude.

Emperor Chunde looked at Lou Jing’s appearance, feeling uncomfortable. He looked at the jade pendant in his hand and snorted coldly, “Call me the third prince.”

“Yes.” Huaizhong took the order and asked someone to pass on the three princes.

As soon as Xiao Chengduo woke up, he was passed to Panlong Temple. Before he could finish his greetings, he was reprimanded by Emperor Chunde.

“Asshole thing, say, what good things have you done recently?” Emperor Chunde slapped the table with a slap, and pointed to the third prince and said loudly.

The third prince was shocked, and quickly thought about what he had done this month that would make his father so angry. Someone came to discuss with him a few days ago about selling imperial examination questions. He hadn’t had time to get on the line with the examiner. Is it possible that his father knew about it?

Thinking of this, Xiao Chengduo immediately broke out in a cold sweat, leaking the test questions of the test, which is about to lose his head. Really missed the date.

After thinking about it, in February, this incident made the father so angry. Xiao Chengduo quickly kowtow and admit his mistake, “Father Mingjian, the son, the son, and the son are also confused for a while, and he didn’t really do anything. , This country’s laws are known to the children!”

When Emperor Chunde heard this, he couldn’t help being even more annoyed. If the co-authors weren’t for worrying about the law, the three princes really planned to seize the son of Anguo, so he picked up the cup on the table and threw it towards Xiao Chengduo, “You still have the face to talk about home. Country law!”

The tea mixed with porcelain fragments splashed the three princes all over, but he did not dare to hide, and tremblingly said: “My son knows that I was wrong, and I don’t dare anymore…” He thought about it and pushed those people out quickly. It is absolutely impossible to reconcile.

“Go back to your prince’s mansion. You are not allowed to leave the mansion within a month. Copy the “Book of Rites” ten times for me, and think carefully about what propriety, justice and shame are.” Emperor Chunde said, he couldn’t help kicking Xiao Chengduo again.

Xiao Chengduo was reprimanded, but he was relieved. The father seemed to have no intention of punishing him severely. It seems that the father still spoiled him, so he had to send a message to the mother and concubine so that she could say something for herself.

“The emperor calms down his anger.” Huaizhong asked people to quickly clean up the dregs on the ground, and helped Emperor Chunde to sit aside.

Emperor Chunde was still angry, and cursed a few more words.

“It’s just a pity that the son of Anguo, the servant maid remembers that the son of the son had taken the lead in the autumn hunting the previous year. Among the noble children of this generation, no one can match it.” Huai Zhong looked at Emperor Chunde’s face carefully and said.

“Isn’t it?” Emperor Chunde sighed, “I will make up for that child, so I will not let him be wronged.”

When Huai was loyal to the end, he stopped talking. He touched the banknote in his sleeve and was secretly happy to do things for the son of Anguo. It has never been too difficult, and the benefits are still great.

The next day, early morning.

“Recently the Jiangzhou mountain bandits have caused the chaos. The Jiangzhou provincial governor’s background is not enough to quell the chaos. I am going to send one person to Jiangzhou to dispatch troops and generals to solve the Jiangzhou banditry as soon as possible.” Emperor Chunde directly raised the matter.

The generals in the hall looked at each other, and no one wanted to take on this errand. Not to mention the lack of oil and water in the poor mountains and rivers of Jiangzhou, it was said that the Jiangzhou mountain bandit hadn’t seen any improvement after so many years. Can’t come back, no one wants to do such a thankless thing.

“I have decided on the candidate, the first son of Xuan’an State.” Emperor Chunde didn’t give the ministers time to discuss, he directly decided on the candidate.

Everyone was shocked, the son of Anguo naturally no one knew that everyone knew that they were the former prince, the current general of the Yulin army, the left commander, and the good commander of the imperial army. Why were they sent to Jiangzhou?

People who originally thought that Lou Jing was a holy favorite, couldn’t help but gloat at this time. It seems that Lou Jing has lost the Sacred Heart, because in the Forbidden Army, he is the emperor’s close minister, and he can be promoted steadily without going to the battlefield to fight blood and blood. But being dispatched, especially to places like Jiangzhou, is completely the opposite.

As we all know, if there are princes in a state, the military power may be transferred to the hands of the princes, but if there is no nobleman, or if this nobleman is not a favorite, the military power is in the hands of the governor. Jiangzhou has no honors. Military power has always been in the hands of the governor. If Lou Jing is thrown in this way, he will definitely be squeezed out by the governor. Not only will it not be profitable, but it may also be burdened by the civil servant who talks about military affairs on paper. .

Ignoring the expressions of surprise or sarcasm from the crowd, Lou Jing wore the armor of the Yulin Army, entered the hall with his back straight, and knelt down on one knee, “Here is the last general Lou Jing.”

Emperor Chunde looked at Lou Jing, who was like a crown of jade, and nodded in satisfaction. The descendants of the Lou family have always been brave and good at fighting. “

As soon as this remark came out, the whole country was in an uproar.

General Zhennan, that’s the second-rank official position!

Among the ranks of generals in the Yu Dynasty, the first-rank generals, the second-rank generals, the third-rank leaders, and the fourth-rank defenders; and the second-rank generals are divided into the generals of Fuyuan, the fourth campaign, the generals of the four towns, and some generals with miscellaneous titles. .

Although the generals of the four towns are the lowest rank among the second-rank regular titles, they have a much higher status than the casually-sounding second-rank generals, because the regular titles are actually a kind of knighthood, which can be considered hereditary! More importantly, Lou Jing is only 18 years old this year!

“The minister leads the decree to thank you!” Lou Jing was taken aback for a moment, and leaned over to thank him. He asked Huaizhong to give him some benefits, but he did not expect that Emperor Chunde would give him the title of General Zhennan and even the four southern counties. The troops were directly assigned to him!

Huaizhong carried the soldier talisman to Lou Jing and winked at Lou Jing with a smile.

Lou Jing took the soldier talisman with both hands, and thanked him again.

Everyone then realized that this is the loss of the Sacred Heart, this is clearly the big red man in front of the emperor! There are a total of 13 counties in Jiangzhou, and the military power of the southern four counties is 30% of Jiangzhou’s military strength. With this talisman in hand, it will not be constrained by the governor of Jiangzhou. Instead, the governor will have to say something to Lou Jing.

The right-hand Chen Shichang’s face was very ugly. He already knew during the Chinese New Year that this eldest son of the Lou family had no feelings for the dead prince, and he was completely on the side of Xiao Chengjun. The King of Min has already won the entire Minzhou, and now the three counties of Jiangzhou, which are next to Minzhou, have also fallen into their hands. The situation is in danger!

“The emperor, the minister thinks that this is something wrong.” Regardless of other things, Chen Shichang hurriedly stepped out to stop it.

Emperor Chunde angered Concubine Chen Guifei yesterday because of the three princes molesting Lou Jing. He didn’t go to Luanyi Palace in the evening. Today’s mood was just a little better, and Chen Shichang came out again to add to his troubles.

“The imperial decree is down, and the right minister is now saying this, but he is questioning the emperor’s will?” Zhao Duan, the left minister, clearly recognized the anger on Emperor Chunde’s face, and said immediately.

Emperor Chunde couldn’t help being even more annoyed when he heard the words. He finally knew where the problem was. It was the last time. He made a statement. Chen Shichang came back to sing against him. Why did he go? Purely add to him!

“My intention has been decided, no need to say more,” Emperor Chunde waved his hand and said to Lou Jing, “Go back and pack your bags, bring a few guards, and go to work immediately.”

“According to the purpose!” Lou Jing collected the soldier talisman, respectfully bowed to Emperor Chunde, got up and exited the hall.

Ignoring the sound of a pot exploding in the hall, Lou Jing stood on the jade steps, watching the rising sun slowly to the southeast, showing a chuckle, Cheng Jun, I’m here!

“Are you going to Jiangzhou?” Lou Jianyu looked at his son who was packing his luggage with a weird expression.

“Yes.” Lou Jing stopped his movements and turned to look at his father.

“Hmph, did you use any other methods?” Lou Jianyu was very dissatisfied. As Anguo, the emperor has not sent him an errand so far, but his son has been promoted all the way, three consecutive levels within a year. Now he is already a second-rank general!

“The son was just watching his father worry about the side room, and he specifically discussed this errand and went to Jiangzhou to help his father make peace.” Lou Jing saw the jealousy in his father’s eyes, too lazy to care about him, bowed his head and continued to pack things. I went to the Ministry of War and got everything done. I will leave tomorrow morning. Time is running out, but I don’t have the time to grind with my father.

Lou Jian Yu was stunned, and there was a smile on his face, “It’s rare that you are filial, you can keep an eye on it, and you must let the Yang family send the people. If you don’t, you can send some soldiers to escort.” Although you know Lou Jing Going to Jiangzhou was definitely not for filial piety, but it was always on the way, and he himself said that he was going to do it.

Early the next morning, as soon as it was light, the south gate of the capital opened and nine horses ran out of the city.

Lou Jing is going to take up his post, not on the battlefield. He only needs to bring his personal servant. Anxious to see Xiao Chengjun, he naturally wouldn’t bring any servants or maids, only the Eight Guards of Youyun, mounted on his sweaty BMW, and ran out of the city.

Set off as soon as the sky is bright, and the sun rests after the sun is completely set. No matter the big city or small town, you can rest nearby, and you can’t make it to the city. Just stay at the farm for one night. With such a starry night, you crossed Qingzhou and entered the boundary of Jiangzhou within a few days. .

When he first entered Jiangzhou, Lou Jing could see that the situation here was very different from Qingzhou.

Although there was a flood in Qingzhou, only one part of Qingyang County was desolate, and the rest was still a bustling scene. But Jiangzhou was different. The official roads were very deserted, and there were no stalls selling tea! It seems that the banditry in Jiangzhou is indeed serious.

“Master, Yun Jiu’s mark is broken here.” Yun Yi hurriedly came over and said.

Lou Jing drank the water and grabbed Yun Yi’s collar, “What did you say?”

In order to prevent any accidents, Yun Jiu, who followed Xiao Chengjun, would leave a mark that only Youyun Sixteen Guards could understand, and now he was cut off!
