Chapter 102 Warm water boiled frog(1/2)

A group of old people came from the imperial guards and sent them to various camps, which soon made the heavens angry and the others resentful.

These people are like provocative machines and don’t like anything.

The key is that they don’t like it, they will take care of it, beat and scold the imperial guards, and they will cry and call their parents.

Many young generals relied on their understanding of several generals to file a complaint.

Whether it was Zhang Zhengyuan or Gao Huan, they all cursed them with a serious face. Now everyone understands that these old maomao who hates ghosts are supported by the superiors.

Then what else can I do? Grind my teeth and endure it. No matter how bad it is, it cannot be worse than when I was a family of imperial guards before.

These veterans in Xiliang did not deliberately find fault. They looked at these imperial guards by the standards of Xiliang soldiers, and felt that each of them was a waste.

Such soldiers were sent to the northwest battlefield and were killed by the Qiang people in one charge.

Not to mention encountering or ambushing in the wild. They are veterans who survived the disaster after hundreds of battles in the northwest, so they naturally dislike this kind of imperial guards.

Coupled with the condolence and protection of the top generals, they even let go of their fists and re-transformed these imperial guards.

A veteran who can survive until his retirement in Xiliang has countless lives. He is used to separation from life and death, so he has more aura than ordinary people when he stands there.

Life of the Imperial Guard is getting harder and harder...

In the palace, the palace of Chunhe.

All the apricot yellow curtains in the past were removed, and the hall was filled with smoke and cheers.

I saw that the emperor Zhao Cai, who was nervous and his eyes were shiny.

Looking along his gaze, there were two cockfighting on the ground, one of which was golden and red, and the other was black.

As soon as the chicken caught the chickens let go, the two chickens immediately straightened their bodies, raising their heads, claws, chests, necks, and heads, and then sternly raised a straight line.

The black cockfighting breasts had a bulge of muscles, a thin line was concave in the middle, and the feathers were messy. Obviously, there had been many fights before, but only the black cocktail was still intact and proudly raised high.

"The chicken sent by the Marquis of Xiangyang is really amazing. I took it to the Bianliang market and never lost it."

The eunuchs around him immediately flattered him. Zhao Cai was said to be more energetic than fighting cocks.

It sounds easy to do every day, but when you really do it, you will find that it is not something that people do at all.

Except for a few emperors, no one has been able to hold on throughout the ages because this is too exhausting.

Zhao Cai worked diligently for a few days and was a little lazy. At this time, Miao De came on stage. He led a group of eunuchs from the provincial eunuchs and coaxed him to play in different ways. Soon Zhao Cai discovered new worlds one by one.

It turns out that life has so much fun, such as fighting cocks, dogs, crickets, birds, eagles, slingshots, and young people, so they have not started playing with women.

"Horse Zhongyong is here!"

A sharp voice scared Zhao Cai, "Hurry up, hurry up, put it away."

Several little eunuchs were in a hurry, and the spring and hall were in chaos.

After Chen Shou came in, he smelled a strange smell first, then looked at a chicken feather under his feet, coughed lightly, and clasped his fists and said, "My minister Chen Shou, see Your Majesty."

"The Zhongyong Hou is not given a courtesy, so I will give you a seat." Zhao Cai was still a little afraid of Chen Shou, just because he was afraid that Chen Shou would blame him for having fun.

Chen Shou didn't know why he thought he would care about him. It was probably because the empress dowager often asked him to listen to his words.

Chen Shou laughed and said, "Your Majesty, the White Lotus Sect has been rampant in the city recently, and he threatened to avenge the rebellious prince Zhao Zhe. I am afraid that they will make a comeback, so I want to strengthen the troops around Kaifeng Prefecture."

"Where did the soldiers come from?" Zhao Cai was not ignorant of the current situation. The local tyrants and powerful people listened to the tune but did not listen to the publicity.

"Daming Mansion is closest to the capital, why not dispatch troops from Daming Mansion?"

"Will the soldiers and horses of Daming Mansion listen to me?" Zhao Cai asked disconfidantly.

Chen Shou thought to himself, you are quite self-aware. Although he thought so, Chen Shou's face was angry and painful.

"Why did Your Majesty say this? As the saying goes, all the kings under the heavens are kings, and all the kings are kings and ministers. Liang Zhongqiu is also a Qi minister. How can he resist the will of heaven? Even if your Majesty issues an order, if this beast dares to resist the order, I will lead the troops personally and capture him for your Majesty to take it."

"It's up to the will of the Zhongyong Marquis." Zhao Cai was a little reluctant. There were 150,000 people in Daming Mansion, and if they couldn't win...

Just as Chen Shou was about to leave, a chicken suddenly rushed out and almost flew to his head.

Zhao Cai was startled and turned around and saw that the little eunuch had already fainted.

Chen Shou paused, and did not look back, scolding, "How can Chunhe Palace hide chickens? Don't disturb Your Majesty, otherwise you have a few heads."

After saying that, Chen Shou walked out of the hall, and Zhao Cai stroked his chest.

"Marquis Zhongyong wants to attack Daming Mansion, but don't cause trouble."

When Chen Shou returned to the water pavilion, a group of officials had been waiting here for a long time.

Seeing him come in, everyone stood up and bowed: "Marty."

Chen Shou waved his hand, walked to the top and sat down, and glanced around.

"I have asked His Majesty for the decree that Liang Zhongqiu and the 150,000 troops from Daming Mansion must be eliminated this time."

Huang Zhen clasped his fists and said, "What the Marquis said is that Daming Mansion is too close to the capital, and there are no natural dangers to guard. With such 150,000 people here, we can't sit and stand still."

"Liang Zhongqiu is Wei Yunse's son-in-law. Although he was under pressure from the previous episode, he retreated sadly. How could he not hate him? Such a person is guarding Daming Mansion, just like a sharp blade hanging above our heads."

"I don't know what kind of tricks the loyal and brave Marquis have."

Chen Shou laughed and said, "I will transfer him to guard the capital."

The lobby suddenly became quiet, and everyone looked at each other, looking stunned.

"Isn't this a gift to thieves?"

Chen Shou shook his head and said, "Liang Zhongqiu, just a pedantic nerd. Today I ordered him to transfer two thousand people to come, and tomorrow I ordered him to transfer three thousand to Hejian. This is a plan to boil frogs in warm water."

"Boiling a frog in warm water? It's amazing!" Huang Zhen smiled and said, "Is it because he slowly heated up and cut off his flesh with one knife, but did not suddenly put pressure on him, allowing him to compromise step by step in the fight against or against, and finally he was powerless and courageous to be enemies with us?"

“That’s right!”

Chen Shou Ning said in a voice: "The first step is that we will first go to his troops and only take down five thousand of his men. Then we will cut off his food and grass, cut off the supply, and finally alienate his subordinates and arrange our own people into the Daming Mansion. Within a year, Liang Zhongqiu of Daming Mansion will be captured by me."

Liu Zhirong sighed, "I'm afraid he will jump over the wall with a hurry."

"We put a collar around his neck. When he wants to jump over the wall, he will slow him down. If he doesn't dare to jump over the wall, he will tighten him and strangle him to death sooner or later. Liang Zhongqiu is just a failed scholar. Only because he has climbed Wei Yunse, he can become a rank-in official. Why did Wei Yunse calmly hand over 150,000 people to him? It is because he is indecisive, timid, cowardly, and has no ambition, which makes Wei Yunse control it. It is like such an incompetent person who makes him brave enough to ascend to heaven. It is as difficult as climbing to heaven."

Huang Zhen also nodded and said, "Yes, if he had a little bit of energy, Wei Yunse would not have been out of nowhere. You know, he had 150,000 troops under the city of Bianliang. We were ready to compromise with him and give up a lot of benefits, but he didn't even dare to bargain!"

Chen Shou's eyes were fixed and he said in a deep voice: "Daming Mansion is located in a key junction between the north and the south. If Daming Mansion is lost, the capital of the capital is smooth. The situation is so decayed, we must take down Daming Mansion."

"Half Marquis is wise."

Daming Mansion, General Army Office.

Liang Zhongqiu's face was covered with haze. He had just dispatched 3,000 people to follow Zhao Hong to Wuqing County to suppress bandits.

The soldiers and horses of Daming Mansion have always been regarded as forbidden by him, especially after his father-in-law Wei Yunse died.

Although he had no backer, no one was in charge of him. Liang Zhongqiu was nervous and had time to be secretly happy.

However, at this time, he finally tasted the pain of not having a backstage. The small thief in the court actually came to draw his troops, which was equivalent to touching the core interests of the Daming Mansion Army.

"Master General, those three thousand people are all old, weak, sick and disabled. If the adults don't want to, they can recall all of them with just a transfer order!" Yang Zhi, the governor below, said with a fist.

Liang Zhongqiu had a fight between heaven and man in his heart, and the needles fell in the hall were heard. Finally, he sighed, "Don't lose the big picture because of the small, and gave him a handle on his words. It's just three thousand old soldiers. Just let him use it and practice it for us in vain."

In the lobby, some people breathed a sigh of relief, some people looked gloomy, and some people looked down at the boss and looked contemptuous.

If your own general is timid, how can you only have one such thing? There must be two, and there must be three. If you are timid for the first time, it will be even more difficult to stand up in the future.

Because at that time, you will think that if you give up the first time, and if you resist again this time, will you suffer a loss for nothing at the first time?

Liang Zhongqiu stood up and returned to the inner courtyard without looking at his subordinates.

The General Army’s yamen is both public and private, the outer courtyard is the yamen office, and the inner courtyard is Liang Zhongqiu’s private residence.

In this way, you can also ensure your safety to the greatest extent.

Liang Zhongqiu had the final say in the entire Daming Mansion. Under Wei Yunse's operation, he was integrated with military and political affairs here. Originally, there were many Wei Yunse's confidants in Daming Mansion. If Liang Zhongqiu dared to betray Wei Yunse, he would have pitifully few troops.

However, after Wei Yunse's death, his subordinates could only listen to Liang Zhongqiu's dispatch. This gave him a sense of pleasure of shackles passing away. However, in addition to enjoying the authority of the only one, he also needed to face greater pressure.

In the past, no matter what Wei Yunse and Chen Shoudou were like, he didn't need to make any decisions or make decisions.

He just needs to follow Wei Yunse's instructions to do it. Although he will be worried, he does not need to make a decision.

Most people in this world, after enjoying wealth and glory, actually do not have the courage to defeat the death. Liang Zhongqiu was no exception. He took a sip and frowned and said, "What's going on? Is this the new tea this year?"

"Master, this year, the tea from Jiangnan has not arrived in our Daming Mansion, so it is impossible to purchase it." The maid said with her hands down.

Liang Zhongqiu threw his cup and left with a slut...

Wuqing County, Linzhong Mountain Village.

The pine oil torch on the wall was crackling, and on the tiger's skin chair, a young woman in her thirties hugged her arms with her hands.

"Monkey Scar, you let the soldiers go last time, but this time they came to the door. What do you have to say?"
To be continued...
