A Clash of Gods - Chapter 1062

[Chapter 1052 Pinglin]

Qi Ning raised his hand to invite Fan Dehai to drink tea. Fan Dehai held up the tea cup with both hands, and then Qi Ning smiled and said, “My father-in-law looks bad, is the journey too hard?”

“Master Hou, the miscellaneous family is just tired.” Fan Dehai sighed: “Master Hou has been away from the capital these days. I don’t know what happened in the palace. I wonder if you still remember that Liu Yun?”

“Liu Yun?” Qi Ning nodded and said, “Of course I remember.” With a slight smile, he asked softly, “Could it be that Liu Yun embarrassed your father-in-law?”

Fan Dehai sighed: “Master Hou, the miscellaneous family is only a servant to serve the emperor, and it is not a big deal to make trouble for the miscellaneous family. To be honest with the master, this time I came to the East China Sea to pass the decree, I originally sent someone else, but Liu Yun was in front of the emperor. Jin Yan said that the Marquis has outstanding merits and deeds. If you send someone at will to pass the decree, I am afraid that it will be despising the Marquis, so he advised the emperor that the miscellaneous family should come to pass the decree!” After a pause, he said with a smile: “Actually, the Marquis Ye made a great contribution, and the miscellaneous family was able to come to pass the decree, but I was very happy, but that Liu Yun was not at ease. It was a long way to come from the capital, and the miscellaneous family had to arrive within four days after receiving the decree. East China Sea, it can only be done day and night, that is to make the miscellaneous family suffer some hardships.”

Qi Ning frowned and said, “Is Liu Yun going too far?”

Fan Dehai raised his brows and immediately said: “What Hou Ye said is that if it’s just embarrassing the miscellaneous family, the miscellaneous family won’t take it to heart, but now Liu Yun is wandering around the emperor all day long, bewitching the emperor to have fun, this is really true Make the miscellaneous family angry.”

“Oh?” Qi Ning sneered: “He is bewitching the emperor?”

“The emperor is very fond of the empress, the queen likes dance music, Liu Yun just talks about these things every day.” Fan Dehai leaned forward slightly and whispered: “Master Hou remembers the previous time in the palace, I met those few people. Musician?”

Qi Ning nodded slightly, and Fan Dehai sneered: “After those musicians entered the palace, they were personally trained by the queen, and they are in Fengyi Palace almost every day!”

“Don’t the pilgrims ask?”

“As far as the miscellaneous families know, Zhenguo just discussed the matters of the Northern Expedition with important officials in the DPRK, all the yamen have also started preparations, and the Duke of Zhenguo will enter the palace every day to report to the emperor.” Fan Dehai frowned: “But the emperor only said that everything is It will be handled by Duke Zhen Guo, and some trivial matters do not need to be reported to the palace.”

Qi Ning frowned slightly, Fan Dehai sighed softly, “But Duke Zhen goes to the palace every day, and every time he brings several important officials to report together, every time Duke Zhen enters the palace, the emperor will only go to the palace. I can go see you.” Suddenly he thought of something and said, “Yes, there is one more thing to tell the Hou Ye. When he came, the emperor mentioned Qiu Hunting and asked the miscellaneous family to tell the Hou Ye that he must catch up with the autumn on the sixth day of September. hunting.”

“Autumn Hunt?” Qi Ning was startled: “September 6th?”

Fan Dehai said: “Since the founding of the Great Chu Kingdom, whenever the emperor wants to send troops, the emperor has to go hunting to boost morale. This time, it was the Duke of Zhenguo who made a statement to the emperor, begging the emperor to go out to the palace for autumn hunting, and Qin Tiansi has also chosen. The date is set for the sixth day of September.” He raised his hand to calculate, and said, “There are still eight days, and the Marquis should be able to catch up.”

“Emperor Zhenguo said that the emperor will hunt in autumn?” Qi Ning asked, “Has the emperor agreed?”

Fan Dehai nodded and said: “This is a royal rule that has existed since the founding of the country. When hunting in autumn, the emperor must bend his bow to shoot the hunt himself. The more prey he catches, the more morale he will be.”

“Where to hunt?”

“There is a town of Pinglin less than 50 miles southwest of the capital, and there is Pinglin on the edge of the town. There is a garrison in Pinglin town dedicated to guarding Pinglin. I heard that there are about 200 people.” Fan Dehai said: “Pinglin is the royal hunting ground. , No one should approach the past on weekdays, there are birds and beasts raised in the woods, when the late emperor was there, he had to take time to hunt in spring and autumn, and this time the emperor went to Pinglin for his autumn hunting.”

“Pinglin Qiu Hunting?” Qi Ning thought thoughtfully: “Who are you accompanying?”

“This is the preparations for the Ministry of War. Right now, who are the people accompanying him, the miscellaneous family really doesn’t know.” Fan Dehai shook his head and said, “When the late emperor was there, he visited more than 2,000 people at a time.

Many important officials in the court all went with them, but the late emperor sometimes did not call all the ministers to go there. The miscellaneous family still remembers that one autumn, the late emperor only brought his lord to hunt.

After thinking about it for a while, he said: “This autumn hunt is to show my great Chu soldiers the power of the Holy Trinity, and there must be a lot of officials serving with them.

”

Qi Ning said with an “oh”, smiling: “Since the emperor has a purpose, we must speed up the speed here. Father-in-law rests here for a day and nourishes his spirit. If everything goes well, we will leave for Beijing the day after tomorrow.”

Chen Ting and Xin Ci received the decree, and before they could celebrate, they began to act according to the decree.

Chen Ting has collected a lot of carriages and horses, and most of the goods have been shipped, but due to the lack of carriages and horses, some of them have not yet been fully shipped.

This is not because the officials of the East China Sea are neglectful, but the imperial court has always had strict restrictions on the horses in the local area, and does not allow the local horses to be kept in captivity. Horse farm.

The purpose of keeping horses in the official racecourse is to select strong war horses.

In the battle between Chu and Han, the biggest disadvantage of the Chu army was that it suffered all the losses on the war horses. The Northern Han Dynasty had a good variety of war horses, not only in good varieties but also in large numbers. Legion.

The Chu army is located in the south, and the variety of war horses is naturally incomparable to that of the Han army. Therefore, the state of Chu secretly purchased horses from the north and sent them to the official horse farm for breeding. Some of them are still not qualified for war horses, so the unqualified horses from the official horse farms also flow into the people.

The climate and conditions of the East China Sea are not suitable for rearing horses. Almost all the horses here flow in from other places, and every horse entering the East China Sea must be registered, which directly leads to the scarcity of horses in the East China Sea.

The materials seized this time were accumulated by the Donghai Jiang family for several generations. The quantity is too large, and the journey to Beijing is far away. Naturally, Chen Ting did not dare to use inferior horses to carry them. The responsibility was to requisition horses from all over the place and to select suitable horses for transportation. Almost all the horses around Gulin City had been requisitioned, and there were still some shortages. Chen Ting finally requisitioned horses directly from the officials of the East China Sea.

Most of the horses of the officials and gentry are used for traveling. Naturally, they are all of good breeds, and all of them are fat and long-legged. At the beginning, I heard that the government uses horses to transport supplies. These officials are naturally reluctant to let their horses do this. After the tiring work, it was just that the imperial court had just pulled down several major families in the East China Sea, and Jinyihou was still sitting in the East China Sea. Chen Ting commanded the horses under the banner of Jinyihou, so the officials and gentlemen naturally did not dare to say much.

Reluctantly gathered enough carriages and horses, and the next evening, the goods were finally shipped. After Chen Ting and Xin Ci asked Qi Ning for instructions, they each mobilized 500 elite soldiers, adding up to 1,000 people as escorts, plus the convoy. The team of nearly 2,000 people can be considered a mighty team.

Although Qi Ning walked on horseback, Chen Ting also knew that the relationship between Mrs. Tian and the little Hou Ye who was beside Qi Ning was not trivial. Naturally, he did not dare to neglect and carefully prepared the carriage.

In the early morning of the next day, Chen Ting, Xin Ci and others were already waiting outside Gulin City, and the convoy transporting goods was already waiting outside the city. The long convoy was like a long dragon, with no end in sight.

The crowd didn’t wait too long. Qi Ning had already led the officers of the Ministry of Punishment out of the city gate on horseback. Wu Dalin and other guards were divided into two teams. Tian Xuerong’s carriage was in the middle, followed by several horse-riding guards. .

Seeing Qi Ning coming out, Xin Ci, Chen Ting and other officials, big and small, went up to meet them. Qi Ning had already turned over and got off his horse, and said with a smile, “It’s been a long time for you to wait, but you don’t have to be so polite.”

“Master Hou, this journey is a lot of hard work, Master Hou must take care.” Chen Ting cupped his hands.

Qi Ning nodded slightly, saw Qin Yuege beside him, and smiled at Qin Yuege: “Qin Facao, there is still a shortage of manpower at the Ministry of Punishment, if you are willing, I will discuss with Mr. Chen, and you can go to the Ministry of Punishment as an official after a while. Yes.”

Everyone on the side knew that Qi Ning wanted to promote Qin Yuege.

Although Qin Yuege was in charge of the name of punishment in the East China Sea, but after all, it was only a local yamen. Once he entered the capital and entered the yamen of the Punishment Department, he would naturally not be comparable to a local law officer. Moreover, Qi Ning was not only a hereditary marquis, but also a minister of the Punishment Department. Speaking in person, if Qin Yuege really went to Beijing for a job, even if it was not considered a fish leap, it would still have a bright future.

Qin Yuege cupped his hands and smiled and said, “Thank you Lord Hou for your appreciation. It’s just that the seniority in the low-ranking position is not enough, and I would like to practice here for two more years. If the Lord Hou feels that the low-ranking position can still do something, it will not be too late to go to the capital to serve.”

Qi Ning just smiled and said nothing.

An official on the side thought to himself, such a great opportunity, UU reading www.sonicmtl.

com Qin Yuege refused in public, I’m afraid he had other thoughts. After all, the Sima family in the DPRK is now very powerful. Many people know that the contradiction between the Jinyi Qi family and the Sima family is getting deeper and deeper, and the King of Huainan has been overthrown by the Sima family. , who can guarantee that the Jinyi Qi family will not be the next Huainan king, if Qin Yuege follows Qi Ning into Beijing, he will naturally have nothing to do with Qi Ning, and once the Sima family wants to rectify the Jinyi Qi family, Qin Yuege will inevitably be It will become the target of the Sima family’s attack.

Although staying in the East China Sea and missing a great opportunity, at least staying away from the capital, on the contrary, can protect oneself wisely.

But some people think that the East China Sea family has just been wiped out, but this may not be the end. Several major families in the East China Sea have been entrenched in the East China Sea for hundreds of years, and they are deeply rooted. In Taiping, Qin Yuege stayed in the East China Sea, perhaps to purge the rest of the aristocratic family.

The morning sun fell on the earth, and the faint rays of light between the heavens and the earth looked warm and pleasant. Qi Ning turned around and said to Xin Ci: “Great Governor, it’s a matter of recruiting peace!”

“Don’t worry, Lord Hou, the humble general will know how to arrange it.” Xin Ci immediately cupped his hands and said: “They are sincerely accepted by the court, and the humble general will naturally arrange it properly, and I hope that the Lord will come to the news soon.”

The news that Xin Ci mentioned naturally refers to the Haibo Division. Qi Ning wanted to turn Mo Yanbai and his crew into trade sailors. This matter was also discussed with Xin Ci. Although there are some risks, if it can be done. It is undoubtedly the best result to let these people really work for Haibo Division.

Qi Ning bowed his hands in a circle, and everyone bowed their hands in return. Qi Ning didn’t talk nonsense. He turned over and got on his horse. He winked at Wu Dalin who was beside him. Wu Dalin raised his arm and said loudly: “Let’s go!” (https:)
