The Prodigal Son's Happy Life - Chapter 76
[Chapter 76 Important Matters]
In front of outsiders, you still have to maintain some image.
Fang Xiu stood up in a hurry, sat on the chair, and then said: “Come in.”
As soon as he finished speaking, a burly man with a scar on his face walked in.
He bowed and said, “General Fang, I have something important to report to you because of my humble position. I wonder if it would be convenient
for you, General?” Although they had only known each other for half a month, Fang Xiu knew Captain Liang very well.
Having been fighting on the border for many years, this person has always been simple and disdains intrigues, let alone flattery. No matter what he does, he is extremely efficient and rarely talks nonsense.
It can be seen that the important matters he talks about are definitely difficult to deal with.
Although he thought so in his heart, he did not show any expression on his face, but said calmly: “Say.”
Liang Hu raised his eyes, looked at Fang Xiu, and said: “I inspected the weapons warehouse yesterday and found that the swords in the weapons library were not the same as those on the book. Not the same.”
Fang Xiu was slightly startled.
Yesterday, he was not the one left on duty after Xiu Mu. Why did he go to inspect the weapons warehouse?
As if he knew what Fang Xiu was thinking, Liang Hu explained: “When I led the soldiers to drill, I felt that the weapons used in the drill were different from those when I went to the frontier to kill the enemy. They were much lighter.
So he made his own decisions and found them. The record book was taken off yesterday, and he pretended to be an ordinary soldier, sneaked into the arsenal, and investigated, and sure enough, he found something fishy.
However, his humble position did violate military discipline, and he was willing to accept any punishment! “
The pro-army arsenal !
The weapons are much lighter than the weapons used to kill enemies on the frontier?
Fang Xiu was startled again, and then he immediately reacted, feeling a turmoil in his heart.
The pro-army is the last barrier in front of the Emperor of Chu. If there is a problem with the pro-army, let alone the weapons arsenal in the far southwest and northwest borders.
This matter is more than just an important matter!
Fang Xiu’s eyes were as deep as water, and he looked at Liang Hu and said, “We will discuss the punishment later. I just want to ask you now, can you confirm what happened just now?”
Liang Hu had no expression on his face, and said with a cupped hand: “I wish to be humble. Guarantee with your head!”
Fang Xiu fell into deep thought when he heard this.
Liang Hu stood upright in the tent without saying a word.
After a long time, Fang Xiu raised his eyes, looked at Liang Hu, and asked: “Is there any evidence?”
Liang Hu immediately said: “No evidence is needed, as long as the general sends someone to the armament warehouse to check it according to the book.” Fang Hu said
. Xiu thought for a while and asked, “Have you told anyone else about this?”
Liang Hu said, “No.”
Although he was a rough man who only knew how to go into battle to kill the enemy, he was also rough and subtle.
There are many truths that need no explanation and are understandable.
The Arms Library is under the control of the Habayashi Guards. If something goes wrong, the people in the Habayashi Guards will definitely be involved.
And Fang Xiu came to the Yulin Guard with him, and only stayed in the camp all day long, without any other actions, so he would definitely not collude with others.
If there is only one person in the Yulin Guards who can be trusted, it is General Zuo Zhonglang – General Fang Xiufang!
Hearing what Liang Hu said, Fang Xiu fell silent again. After a long time, he said: “This general knows about this matter. You can go down.”
Liang Hu looked at him deeply and cupped his hands: “I resigned from my humble position!”
He left. Finally, Fang Xiu lay down on the blanket again, but he could no longer close his eyes and rest comfortably like before.
In fact, what Liang Hu said was too important.
If he turned a blind eye, his conscience would be uneasy.
After all, Chu State is now facing foreign enemies.
On the northern border, there are grassland tribes who are watching eagerly, and in the northwest, there are foreign races that are ready to make a move.
Even the chieftains in the southwest of Chu State were not at all restless.
Military readiness is the most important thing for a country. If there is a problem with military readiness, no matter how brave the Chu soldiers are, no matter how brave they fight, they will only die on the battlefield.
It is no exaggeration to say that it will fail!
After turning it over and over for a long time, Fang Xiu still couldn’t keep this matter in his mind. He stood up, walked to the desk, and took out a blank piece of letterhead.
Grind it yourself, polish your pen, sit at your desk, and think quietly.
After a long time, an anonymous letter without a signature reached the hands of Liu Cheng, the eunuch in charge of the ceremony, through Zhang Sheng, the young eunuch.
Liu Cheng looked at the letter with the four words “Anguo Policy” written on it, his eyes were deep, and he didn’t know what he was thinking of writing.
Zhang Sheng fell to his knees on the ground, shivering and not daring to make a sound.
After half a stick of incense had passed, Liu Cheng raised his eyes, looked at Zhang Sheng who was still kneeling on the ground, and asked: “Where did you get this letter?”
Zhang Sheng said in a trembling voice: “Slave, slave I don’t know.”
When Liu Cheng heard this, he just remained silent and stared at him with cold eyes.
Finally, Zhang Sheng couldn’t bear the pressure, and he kowtowed heavily and said in a trembling voice: “Slave, I really don’t know. When I woke up yesterday, I found such a letter on the bedside. In addition, There is also a letter to the slave, which is
It says, let me give this letter to my godfather, and let my godfather pass it on to His Majesty. If I don’t do it, I will kill me. I have no choice.”
As he said this, tears couldn’t stop falling.
Liu Cheng didn’t take it seriously, just waved his hand and said coldly: “Get out! “
The soft word ‘go’ fell in Zhang Sheng’s ears like the sound of nature.
He kept kowtowing until his head was broken and bleeding, and then he dared to turn around and crawl away.
Eunuchs, especially those who have no power and no right, behind their backs A young eunuch who is not protected by a big shot has the least status and dignity in the palace.
He said that since Zhang Sheng was sent to the palace by his family as a child, he has been walking on thin ice all day long and has to be careful at all times
if something happens .
If anything goes wrong, a beating is inevitable, but this is just a luxury,
because living in the palace is already a blessing.
Among the twenty eunuchs who entered the palace with him, only one survives now, and he relies on it. This is a mentality of walking on thin
ice
.
I thought I could live a good life by doing my own thing peacefully and not provoking others. Who would
have
thought that I could get into trouble for no reason?
Zhang Sheng looked up and looked at the bright sunshine, feeling that his life was in darkness.
After Zhang Sheng left, Liu Cheng looked at the letter in his hand, especially the words “An Guo Policy” after
hesitating for a long time .
, give the letter to Your Majesty!
As His Majesty’s other pair of eyes and ears, he does not have the power to make decisions. All
he can do is let His Majesty see more things that are usually invisible and hear more things that are not usually heard. The voice.
Although the origin of this letter is unknown, it must have been submitted by a dignitary.
Moreover, even if the content of the letter is not based on the words “Anguo Policy”, it is definitely for sure. Otherwise
… why would the person who wrote the letter take the risk and deliver the
letter
directly to His Majesty?
