Chapter 236 Zhao Duan’s Revenge
Although Mochou could not hide his curiosity, in the end he said nothing and returned to the palace by car to resume his life.
She knew that His Majesty must be waiting for news on Zhao Duan's first day in office.
It's not just the empress. In fact, more people are paying attention to today's news than many people think.
After all, Zhao Duan's current words and deeds represent the empress's will to a certain extent.
"Sir, what are you going to do next?" Qian Kerou asked in a low voice as she watched the carriage go away.
Hou Renmeng also looked eager to try: "Where to start the investigation?"
Zhao Duan stretched himself and walked towards the military camp with a lazy look:
"What are you investigating? I came to the Shenji Camp for a temporary job, but I have no other purpose. I want to be strict with my words. If I leave, they will hold a banquet for us, so we can't let down their good intentions."
Qian Kerou and Hou Ren looked at each other fiercely and held their hands:
"yes."
I always feel like the adults are plotting against someone again.
…
Privy Council.
The imposing "office" belongs to the Privy Councilor.
Wearing the lion robe of a second-grade general, with a fair complexion and a beard on his chin, Xue Shence, the "Great Yu Divine General", held a stick made of wood with a slender handle and a flat round end in his hand.
Use the end to push a solid black chess piece forward one space on the square "chessboard" in front of you.
This is a unique chess game from the Yu Dynasty called "Shuanglu".
Different from the literati's preference for Go, backgammon in this world was born out of military formations.
Therefore, it is favored by military commanders.
At this moment, sitting opposite Xue Shence, the person playing chess with him was a second-grade official who was in his fifties and had a slim build.
It is the "private council affairs" person who is in charge of clerical work and is only under him as Privy Councilor in the Privy Council.
"Mr.
The middle-aged governor looked leisurely, staring at the chessboard, and said.
Xue Shence straightened his back even when he was playing. He shook his head when he heard this and said: "Where is the happy event? You don't know me yet? You are worried, so you play chess to calm your mood. It's your turn."
The middle-aged governor dropped the dice, looked at the numbers, pushed a red chess piece with the wooden stick in his hand, and said: "Worried? Is it because today is the day when Zhao Duan takes office?"
Xue Shence's eyes were calm, and he seemed absent-minded while playing chess. He said mockingly: "Master Wang, why do you ask questions knowingly? I don't know how many pairs of eyes are watching our excitement in the capital today... Hehe, a fourth-grade official came to take office, but It touches so many hearts.”
Governor Wang remained silent.
Both sides knew that those in the capital were not looking at Zhao Duan, but at His Majesty's actions.
It was different from when Zhao Duan went to Zhaoyamen and no one cared.
This time, not only the upper echelons of the military commanders group were facing a formidable enemy.
Civil servant groups such as the "Li Party", the "Qingliu Party", and even the "Imperial Party" are also gloating and watching.
After His Majesty finished rectifying the civil servants, he began to turn his attention to the generals... This was something that everyone knew very well, but had a tacit agreement not to mention it.
"Didn't Mr. Xue tell you to go down a long time ago? Although Shi Meng seems vulgar, he is actually a man of talent. I think he will make arrangements well." Governor Wang comforted him.
In fact, it’s more than just the Shenji Camp?
The commanders of the "Fifth Army Camp" and the "Three Thousand Battalions" belonging to the Beijing camp were also warned one by one by the military ministers of the Privy Council headed by Xue Shence.
There is only one request:
During this sensitive period, don’t provoke the King of Hell, Zhao, and wait until his suspension is over!
Xue Shence shook his head and picked up the dice, feeling uneasy in his heart.
"Dengdengdeng..."
At this time, footsteps approached in the courtyard, and a low-level military attache rushed to the front of the hall and stopped to report:
"I am reporting to the Privy Council. I know that the commander of the Shenji Battalion has sent news."
The two players playing chess raised their heads and looked up, saying in unison:
"Say!"
"Yes!" The military attaché immediately finished describing the situation.
As a result, only halfway through, the two people playing chess in the hall felt their hearts pounding.
No matter what you are afraid of, something will happen. Despite repeated warnings, something will happen even if you don’t want to.
After half of listening, Xue Shence and Governor Wang looked at each other in silence.
Based on their rank, they didn't care about Zhao Duan's level of cultivation.
What they care about is the signal sent by Zhao Duan's behavior of "calling a deer a horse".
"The person who came here is not a good person," Governor Wang sighed softly: "I have heard that Zhao Duan is not a simple person. When I saw him today, he lived up to his reputation... This understatement not only resolved the crisis, but also declared his status...
If the 'young master' makes trouble for him, he is afraid that he will suffer a lot. Hehe, he will definitely be used as a pawn to establish his power. "
Xue Shence waved his hand and ordered the soldiers to retreat. He pinched the dice and snorted, saying displeasedly: "It's okay to teach him to suffer at the hands of Zhao. With his background as the Duke of Zhen, he can The army is accustomed to smooth sailing, and Shi Meng dares not to listen to his words. This time, with a long memory, the Duke of Zhen could not even utter a single word of complaint. "
This result was slightly better than he expected.
Although there were still mistakes, the situation was not bad.
Even if Zhao Duan wanted to make a fuss, he would always have to worry about the Duke of Xizhen.
The key is...
It's okay if the Privy Council can't be blamed.
Governor Wang also breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Guess how Zhao Duan will establish his power? These gangsters can't escape with just a few military sticks."
Xue Shence said calmly:
"It's okay to hit him with a stick. It's not easy for us to hit him in the past. Zhao is not afraid of offending others, so I can lend him his hand."
As he said that, he threw the dice casually and turned it around in a circle. It was the biggest "six o'clock".
From beginning to end, the two of them could only think of Zhao Duan's greatest "revenge" as hitting him with a military stick.
After all... that is the next generation of Duke Zhenguo.
This is not comparable to ordinary noble sons or dandy young masters.
…
…
In the royal palace, in the royal study.
Xu Zhenguan stood in front of the window with his hands behind his hands and listened to Mochou's story.
"So, he only used one arrow to gain a firm foothold?" Empress Dayu, who was dressed in white as snow and had black hair like a waterfall, asked softly, still feeling satisfied.
Mochou stood with his head bowed, huffed, and nodded helplessly:
"Although the method... was a bit special, those thousands of soldiers were indeed in awe of him. The proud and powerful soldiers of the Shenji Battalion, It’s also very docile on the surface.”
"You should learn more from him," Xu Zhenguan turned around, with a slight smile on his flawless face:
"The military is powerful and its methods are known to many people, but not many can actually do it well."
I'm not as shameless as him... Mochou murmured in his heart and presented the list full of words: "He also wrote this, saying that he wants His Majesty to fulfill his promise."
Xu Zhenguan's phoenix eyes flashed, she raised her hand, and the list fell into her green hands.
There was a moment of silence.
"That's all you said?"
"That's all I said."
"...I understand," the empress picked up a pen, wrote a simple handwritten letter, and threw it to her, "Go and do it."
Mochou was confused and didn't know what it meant. He lowered his eyes and glanced at the contents of the handwriting. He looked at the empress in surprise and opened his mouth to say something.
"Don't ask too much, just do it."
"...This slave obeys your order."
Wait for Mochou to leave.
In the imperial study room, a faint and helpless sigh came from the Empress:
"You..."
It really doesn't make me worry.
…
…
Shenji camp.
Today's military camp is destined to be restless.
After the morning drill was completed, news about the conflict between the "young master" and the new "Zhao Qianshi" spread throughout the Shenji camp.
And it quickly spread to the two camps of the "Fifth Army" and "Three Thousand", which both belonged to the Beijing camp.
Countless soldiers were keen on discussing it.
There are three hot topics.
First, how high is Zhao Duan's cultivation level?
The grace of holding the bow with one hand really left a deep impression on the soldiers.
The second is a piece of gossip about "calling a deer a horse" and the reason why the young master left angrily.
However, this article is limited to private discussion.
As for Article 3...
"Dong dong dong!"
There was a knock on the barracks door.
Tang Ping, who was studying military literature in the room, said "Come in."
The door opens.
More than a dozen low-level young military attachés swarmed over, looking angrily: "My young master, how can you still keep your composure? There are people talking outside, saying that your limelight has been overshadowed by that surnamed Zhao. Some people even said He also said..."
"Oh, what did you say?"
Tang Ping was not wearing armor at the moment, and was only wearing ordinary military clothes. His hair was simply tied up, but his eyebrows were still handsome.
A military attache said angrily:
"Say...that person surnamed Zhao asked us our names, and he must be retaliating."
The rest of the people also talked about it:
"The one named Zhao will definitely retaliate. It is the nature of a villain. Anyone who offended him in the past will be retaliated..."
"This little guy was digging a hole for you on the school grounds!"
"That's right! He did it on purpose! I'm afraid he has already wanted to deal with us and establish his authority!"
They already know the news about Zhao Duan hitting the target with one arm on the school field.
Although he was shocked, he was not ashamed, but instead became more and more angry.
He thought that Zhao Duan was clearly capable of martial arts, but deliberately pretended to be a pig to gain power. He was teasing them and trying to establish his authority over himself and others.
Tang Ping looked calm and indifferent, and looked at everyone:
"Are you afraid of him?"
The military attaches were stunned and shook their heads:
"How can we be afraid of him?"
"That's right! If he's a coward, we won't follow you and stop him."
"We just feel that he is our commander after all. If he deliberately seeks trouble... won't our brothers just suffer the consequences?"
Tang Ping put down the book of war, raised his hand and pressed it softly, snorting coldly: "We asked him to perform martial arts and follow the military tradition, and he did not go out of his way or violate the military regulations.
I look at him, what regulations will he use to punish us?
Don't worry, if he wants to touch any of you, he must take off my official robe first, otherwise, he is just wishful thinking! "
All the military attaches were determined.
With their backgrounds, they couldn't afford to offend Zhao Duan.
But as long as the young master is willing to come forward, there is nothing to worry about.
No matter how powerful his surname was, he would not be able to influence the future Duke of Zhen.
And at this moment, suddenly, there were messy footsteps approaching outside the door.
Then, the door was knocked open.
A team of twenty people suddenly appeared outside the door, each wearing armor and wearing unique official robes.
It turned out to be the Military Justice Department, which everyone in the army feared!
The leading officer had an expressionless face and glanced at the crowd with a slight grin:
"Just in time, everyone is here. Everyone in the room listen carefully, the superior orders, all of you will be arrested immediately Dismissed from office and expelled from the capital!"
