A Clash of Gods - Chapter 731

[Chapter 727]

Longtai gave an “oh” and asked, “What did the prince say?”

“The emperor ordered Qi Ning to rebuild the Black Scale Battalion, which is naturally a good thing to improve morale.” Sima Lan frowned, “But as far as the old minister knows, today’s Black Scale Battalion is far from the elite cavalry that ran across the battlefield back then. Many of the brave soldiers recruited by Qi Ning are brave and fierce warriors, which would be fine if they were on the battlefield, but if these people do not have strict military discipline and cannot abide by the military regulations, they will cause a major disaster.”

“Did the Black Scale Battalion do something?” Longtai asked in awe.

Sima Lan said: “The old minister just learned that the night before yesterday, the family of Meng Guangren, the young minister of Taichang Temple, was going to return to their hometown, but they were looted halfway, and the three families of Meng’s house would be beheaded on the spot, if it weren’t for the Kyoto house The person who happened to pass by happened to pass by, and the consequences are even more unimaginable. Afterwards, it was confirmed that the perpetrators were the three soldiers of the Black Scale Battalion.

Longtai’s brows tightened, and he said solemnly, “Is there such a thing? Why didn’t Tie Zheng from Kyoto Prefecture come to report?”

“Because this matter involves the Black Scale Camp, it’s not good for Tie Zheng to rashly report the matter before the interrogation.” Sima Lan said: “Last night, the people from the Kyoto Prefecture reported this to the old minister. The emperor has rested, so he did not enter the palace.”

Long Tai asked, “How did the three soldiers sneak out of the barracks? How did Tie Zheng deal with this?”

“No matter how you sneak out of the barracks, it’s always caused by the lack of strict control of the troops in the Black Scale Camp.” Sima Lan sighed: “If this were replaced by the Black Scale Camp of the year, such a tragedy would never have happened.” Shaking his head, he said. “Qining was young and had no military experience, so he suddenly commanded the Black Scale Battalion, unable to restrain his soldiers, which led to such a tragic incident. He couldn’t take thousands of the small Black Scale Battalion well. He went to rectify the 100,000-strong army of the Qinhuai Army, and it was absolutely impossible.”

Qi Ning sneered in his heart, thinking to himself that Sima Lan was behind the scenes in this case. His real target was not the Black Scale Battalion, but the Qinhuai Army Corps.

Sima Lan claimed that Qi Ning was young and inexperienced, and there was no need to insinuate the little emperor in his words.

“The emperor’s reconstruction of the Black Scale Camp is also to give honor to the army and improve the morale of the soldiers.” Sima Lan saw the little emperor frowning slightly and did not speak, and continued: “But the Black Scale Camp committed this case, and it began to spread in the streets and alleys. Not only does it fail to boost morale, but it hurts the hearts of the people, causing harm rather than benefit.”

Longtai finally said: “The soldiers of the Black Scale Battalion committed the crime, but Qi Ning can’t be blamed. He was sent to Xichuan on an order before, and then he went to Dong Qi as an envoy. He has been traveling all the time. Don’t ask questions, the Duke also knows this.”

“Your Majesty, the old minister means that Duan Canghai, who is currently training the Black Scale Battalion, is Qi Ning’s commander. Duan Canghai restrains his subordinates for failure. Although Qi Ning has no direct responsibility, he is still not a good person.” Sima Lan’s expression was serious. , said solemnly: “General commanders do not necessarily need to train the talents of their subordinates, but the talents of people are absolutely indispensable. The emperors and sages, the people who use them are all according to their abilities, never use the wrong person, this is exactly what The source of my great Chu’s growing strength.”

There was something in his words, Qi Ning sneered in his heart, and Long Tai was naturally unhappy in his heart, and said, “Then how should Duke Guo handle this matter?”

“After learning about this, the old minister also discussed with many people. They all felt that such a big incident happened just after the reconstruction of the Black Scale Camp. Disband the Black Scale Camp.” Sima Lan sighed and said, “But the old minister thinks that!” Before he could finish speaking, a voice came from outside: “Report to the Holy Master, the King of Huainan asks to see you!”

Sima Lan and Long Tai were both startled, Qi Ning narrowed his eyes, and Long Tai hesitated before saying, “Xuan!”

After the King of Huainan entered the house, Sima Lan had already taken the lead and said, “The old minister has seen the prince!”

The King of Huainan said with a smile: “It turns out that the old prince is also here. I don’t know if this king suddenly came here. Would you bother me?” He bowed to Longtai.

Longtai has already asked: “What is the matter with Uncle Wang entering the palace? I am discussing with the Duke of the Black Scale Camp.”

“It turns out that the emperor already knows.” The king of Huainan sighed: “I also just learned that the Black Scale Camp has just been rebuilt, after all, this happened suddenly, and rumors spread everywhere on the streets. Don’t let the street and alleys exaggerate about this matter and affect people’s hearts.”

“It just happened, and everyone knows about it?” Longtai asked.

The King of Huainan said: “Good things don’t go out, bad things spread thousands of miles, and it’s better to guard against people than against Sichuan. This case should be investigated secretly, and I don’t know who leaked the news.”

“Your Highness, how do you think this matter should be handled?” Sima Lan suddenly asked.

The King of Huainan said: “This king is not involved in military affairs, so it’s hard to say much. It’s better to have a ruling from the Holy Master. However, if the Black Scale Battalion cannot be strictly controlled, I’m afraid that there will be more troubles in the future.” After a while, he continued: “The Black Scale Battalion led by Qi Jing made great contributions in the battlefield, and it was a valiant and adept warrior. Today, there are still a small number of remnants of the cavalry in the Black Scale Battalion. People who have made great contributions will inevitably be arrogant, even if they are on the front line, if they are so arrogant in the Gyeonggi area, it is always inappropriate.”

Qi Ning knew that both Sima Lan and King Huainan regarded the Black Scale Battalion as a thorn in the eye. This time, the two of them would certainly not miss the opportunity to attack the Black Scale Battalion. The two entered the palace at the same time, and they even The same is true of the rhetoric. On weekdays, the two of them are incompatible with each other, fighting openly and secretly, but now facing the Black Scale Battalion, they are standing in the same trench.

“What the lord said is very true.” Sima Lan said without losing the opportunity: “If the Black Scale Battalion is allowed to indulge like this, it will definitely lose the hearts of the people, and even affect the hearts of my army in Great Chu.”

At this time, Longtai didn’t know the intention of these two people and asked, “How do you think the Black Scale Camp should be restrained?”

The King of Huainan and Sima Lan looked at each other and said, “Your Majesty, this minister thinks that the imperial court can send another person to supervise the Black Scale Camp. With the people from the imperial court on the side to supervise, the Black Scale Camp should be restrained.”

“Is that what the prince means too?”

“What the lord sees is the most suitable.” Sima Lan said: “Send someone to supervise the Black Scale Camp, and strictly enforce military discipline. If similar incidents happen again, they will be the only ones to ask.”

Long Tai said: “Who should the imperial court send? Do you have a choice?”

Sima Lan glanced at the King of Huainan, and his tone was respectful: “The old minister has not thought of a suitable candidate for a while, I wonder if the prince has someone he likes?”

The King of Huainan said: “If you really want to send someone to the Black Scale Camp, you must be loyal to the court. Your Majesty, this minister thinks that you can choose a general from the Royal Yulin Camp.”

“Yulin Camp?”

“Exactly.” The King of Huainan said, “Chi Fengdian, the commander of Yulin Camp, is in the position of protecting the imperial city, so it’s not easy to mobilize.” Looking at Sima Lan, he said, “Guo Gong, there is a deputy named Wu Dalin in Yulin Camp. Commander, what do you think of this person?”

“Wu Dalin?” Sima Lan was startled, obviously not expecting that King Huainan would propose this candidate.

Qi Ning was a little surprised when he heard it behind the screen.

Many people in the court knew that Wu Dalin was originally from the Qinhuai Army Corps and was a subordinate of Qi Jing. Later, he violated military regulations and was transferred to the Xichuan Army Corps, where he was stationed in the bitter cold. Wu Dalin was transferred back to the capital and worked in Xuanwu Camp, and Sima Lan helped him to be transferred to Yulin Camp.

Logically speaking, Wu Dalin is of course Sima Lan’s person.

At this time, King Huainan proposed to let Wu Dalin go to the Black Scale Camp, which seemed to help Sima Lan to infiltrate the Black Scale Camp, which naturally surprised Qi Ning.

Wu Dalin followed Qi Ning on his mission to Dongqi, and the two established a fairly good relationship in private. Wu Dalin also revealed that Qi Jing’s old feelings were unforgettable, but people were unpredictable. Qi Ning couldn’t be sure what Wu Dalin was thinking. I have the intention to draw this person over, but I know that it should not be rushed, and I need to observe more to make a decision.

“Wu Dalin is an envoy to the Eastern Qi, he is shrewd and capable, and he leads the troops well.” The King of Huainan said righteously: “He has been in the army for many years and has a lot of experience. If he can be sent to the Black Scale Battalion to assist in the training, he will not only be able to restrain the Black Scale Battalion, but also be strict. Military discipline can also make the Black Scale Battalion even more powerful, which is of great benefit to the Black Scale Battalion.”

Longtai was thinking, UU reading www.sonicmtl.com at this moment, but he heard a coughing sound coming from behind the screen. The coughing sound came out suddenly, and the little emperor frowned. King Huainan and Sima Lan looked at almost at the same time. Throwing towards the screen, the King of Huainan said sternly, “Who is there?”

But only to see that Qi Ning had come out from behind the screen with his mouth covered.

King Huainan and Sima Lan were stunned when they saw Qi Ning come out from behind the screen, and then the atmosphere became a little awkward. Long Tai glanced at Qi Ning, thinking what are you coughing at this time, but since everyone came out, think again It was too late to avoid it. Fortunately, the little emperor was quick to react and said, “Jinyi is waiting to enter the palace, and he is suddenly unwell. I asked him to rest for a while in the back.” He asked, “Jinyihou, how are you?”

Qi Ning has already cupped his hands and said: “Thank you for your favor, my minister is much better.” He coughed twice, and then stepped forward to salute: “I have seen the prince, I have seen the prince!”

These two people knew that Qi Ning would hear what they said, but they were both old foxes and their faces remained unchanged. King Huainan said with a smile: “This time on the mission, Jin Yihou has been working hard all the way, and it is inevitable that he will be tired, so he should rest more. Send some supplements, and Jin Yihou will also take care of her body.”

“Thank you, Your Highness!” Qi Ning said with a smile, “I just woke up, and I just heard that Your Highness wanted Wu Dalin, the deputy commander of Yulin Camp, to go to the Black Scale Camp!” Without waiting for the King of Huainan to say more, he turned to Longtai and said, “Your Majesty, Black Scale There are soldiers in the battalion who violated the military regulations, it is true that the military regulations of the Heishin battalion are not strict, and the minister also asks the emperor to demote, please transfer Wu Dalin to the blackscale battalion, assist the blackscale battalion to train troops, and supervise the military discipline of the blackscale battalion.”

Longtai originally thought that Qi Ning would definitely oppose other forces infiltrating the Black Scales Camp, but at this time, he heard that Qi Ning had volunteered to send someone to supervise the camp.
