Chapter 600 Lip and teeth depend on each other

Qiu Yue, who was in his early forties, was a burly and upright man in Angzang. Although he was very dusty at this time, at first glance, it still looked very consistent with the impression of military generals. Even though Xu Xun had a ball of fire in his stomach, it was obvious that Qiu Yue was very considerate and humble, and it was still difficult to spread the nameless fire to the other party. After looking at Qiu Yue up and down for a while, he suddenly raised his eyebrows thoughtfully.

"You are the Qiu Yue whom Governor Yang recommended before?"

"It's the last general!"

Qiu Yue was stationed in Yuquan Camp outside the city. At this time, he was leading troops back from the side wall. He was planning to go to the General Office to see General Officer Jiang Han report on the movements of the enemy. But who would have thought that as soon as he arrived at the door, he heard that Xu Xun, the Prince of Pingbei, was at the General Officer of Ningxia Town, and all the General Officer's Office went to the Prince Qing's Palace to celebrate his birthday. His shock was extraordinary.

He started from a small soldier, but during his service at the Ningxia General Office, he was highly praised by officers because of his skillful and steady work, especially for his relatives and no reason, and only had a friendship with the same surname. Later, Qiu Li died of illness, and because of his lack of heirs, the hereditary military position of the Ningxia Forerunner Commander Tongzhi was inherited by no one. It was also Qiu Li left a suicide note. The deputy general and several guerrilla generals at that time acted on him, and he actually succeeded in his succession.

Although those old people died and those who were resigned, he was still very popular in Ningxia Town General Office, and even General Jiang Han trusted him deeply. Seeing that Xu Xun did not take his anger on him, and he still remembered that he was recommended by Yang Yiqing. He knew that there was hope of regaining what happened today, so he spoke carefully: "Pingbei Bo is ordered by Qin. Originally, the deputy general and the general and the Du General should have gone out of the city to welcome him. I don't want to be the 33rd birthday of King Qing, so..."

"King Qing is the prince. Although it is not a birthday, the officers from all over the country went to congratulate him. It was originally a matter of right." Xu Xun interrupted Qiu Yue's words and said word by word, "But first, I found the Prince Qing Mansion on the grounds of emergency military information, but no one informed him inwardly; second, the special envoy I sent was almost detained by King Anhua, but no one took it seriously; third, I have been waiting in the Ningxia Town General Mansion for half an hour. The Prince Qing Mansion is only three streets away, but so far, only General Qiu, you are back alone. Although the troops are not at the city now, if the upper and lower bodies have always done this, it is really uneasy!"

As soon as these words were said, Qiu Yue felt a lot of pain and secretly cursed the group of superiors and colleagues how they trained their subordinates. At this time, why didn't anyone inform me of the news? If the master turned around and knew that they were watching singing and dancing in Prince Qing's Mansion, then it would be a huge trouble to pursue it. He was thinking about how to explain, but someone outside suddenly rushed in angrily, and without looking at it, he said a sentence.

"In the eunuch's mansion, Li Zeng and Deng Guang were not there. After I asked a few words, none of them could answer. It was simply outrageous!"

Qiu Yue heard the voice of a eunuch, glanced sideways, and guessed that it should be the eunuch Zhang Yong, the imperial prisoner who came out with Xu Xun. While hesitating, he saw Zhang Yong suddenly looking at him thoughtfully, and he quickly bowed and said, "Mo general Qiu Yue, the guerrilla general of Ningxia, please see Eunuch Zhang. Eunuch Li and Eunuch Deng should also go to Prince Qing's Mansion together. The Prince Qing's Mansion is noisy, and the people at the bottom of the mansion may not dare to disturb the report inside, so why would Mo go there in person?"

Zhang Yong then said with a smile: "You don't need to go. Eunuch Miao, the eunuch in charge of the Imperial Horse Supervisor, has already taken General Chen to go there personally. If those people can stop Eunuch Miao and General Chen outside, that would be a lot of fun!"

Miao Kui, the eunuch in charge of the Imperial Horse, actually went to the Prince Qing Mansion in person? Oh no, I just heard that Xu Xun sent his trusted officer to the Prince Qing Mansion, but he was almost detained by King An Hua. He ignored him and found that the previous rumors might be true...

Seeing Qiu Yue's expression was ugly for a moment, Xu Xun made a little calmer gesture to Zhang Yong, and then asked Qiu Yue: "Looking at General Qiu's appearance, there seems to be something else hidden?"

Qiu Yue thought that because of Yang Yiqing's recommendation, Xu Xun fought with Liu Yu, the Minister of War in the capital, and was promoted to Ningxia guerrilla general. After hesitating for a long time, he whispered: "King Anhua has always been arrogant in his words and deeds, but he is an uncle. He was generous in the past and had always been in good terms with King Yiwei of Qing. Perhaps he just mistakenly thought that the people sent by Pingbei Bo might not have really been for the urgent military situation. He came up for a moment and could isolate the inside and outside. If Eunuch Miao and General Chen forcibly break in, it would have damaged the face of the Kings of Qing's Palace..."

These words were said with caution, but Xu Xun and Zhang Yong had already heard the meaning. Xu Xun was quite wary of the anonymous letter that Yang Yiqing had shown him before, Zhu Wen, the King of Anhua, while Zhang Yong was purely annoyed that such a prince without real power was so negligent to the upright imperial envoy. After a while, Xu Xun said, "Since that's the case, General Qiu will go to Prince Qing's Mansion. I have not received the order and dare not meet Prince Qing easily, but since it coincides with Prince Qing's birthday..."

He paused, and then ordered Abao on the side, "Go into your bag and find the jade belt."

Seeing that Abao had gone after hearing this, he said to Qiu Yue slowly: "I'll ask General Qiu to send the jade belt to King Qing as a birthday gift!"

In the main hall of the King Qing Mansion and the hip halls on both sides, there were a lot of guests. The kings of the King Qing Mansion were royal families, and they were rich and poor on weekdays, and there were no other people. But today, King Qing specially sent a post to invite him, and more than half of them came. Among them, Zhu Ao, the king of Anhua, was tall and sat very far ahead. At this moment, watching the dancer in the gauze danced, he couldn't help but poured a glass of wine into his mouth with serene satisfaction, and suddenly he noticed someone leaning up behind him.

"What's going on?"

"Your Highness, several groups of people came to the General's Office. It was said that the imperial envoy Pingbei Bo has arrived, and they were all perfunctorily sent by the Yiwei Department. But now some people outside claim to be the chief of the Imperial Horse Supervisor, Eunuch Yin Miao, and Chen Xiong, the left-ranking general of the 12th Regiment Battalion, had a stir there for a while, and I'm afraid they would not be able to withstand..."

Zhu Wen started to tease Cao Mi, but he was used to it on the one-acre and three-point land in Ningxia. It was obvious that as soon as the popularity left, he noticed something was wrong. The kings of Qing Mansion were here, and he was generous, just a few jokes. The officers in Ningxia would not be so ignorant. Thinking that it might be someone from Beijing or Yang Yiqing's Governor's Office, he deliberately told the people of Yiweisi Mo to let outsiders come in to disappoint them. Now he learned that several groups of people had indeed come to the General Mansion, and Xu Xun, the Prince of Pingbei, had come. Yiweisi dared to block this way, and he couldn't help but sneer.

If Wang Yue and Wang Zhi had not fallen one after another, many young officers who had worked hard to get on the side of the camp were standing aside, how could there have been many people who had entered the Yiwei Department of the Wang Mansion? Although the rank is not high, they are in the face of leisure and no pressure. The big men of the court were too threatening to the always-become King Qing's group, and they could not have settled endlessly. So this matter was brought over, and the hatefulness was saved. Just now, he specially asked King Qing to give wine to everyone outside the Yiwei Department, and there were quite a lot of them. I think that with the intention of drinking, these people who have been obedient for many years and are now fifty years old would dare to be so bold.

Seeing the servant's face full of fear, he pondered and sneered: "Don't pay attention to this matter, let them make trouble!"

Sure enough, after a while, there was a sudden noise outside. The singing and dancing in Chengyun Hall was in full swing, and the handsome maid was busy urging him to drink, most people didn't hear it. Only the general Jiang Han was a little restrained and heard the movement outside. He called a maid to inquire outside. The next moment, the closed gate of Chengyun Hall was pushed open, and an official in the royal palace stumbled into the room, interrupting the singing and dancing at the most exciting time.

King Qing Zhu Taizhe was stunned for a moment, and then he shouted in anger: "What's going on!"

"Your Highness, I will die!" The inner official hurriedly crawled on the ground, and then stammered, "Outside...Outside...Outside...Outside...Outside the Majesty Supervisor is in charge of the seal eunuch..."

Before he finished speaking, Miao Kui broke in. Seeing that the singing and dancing girls in the hall hurriedly retreated to the side, many military officers in military uniforms on both sides were drunk and confused, and even many hands reached into the arms of the maids on the side, he frowned. When he heard Chen Xiong's reminder coming from behind, he took a deep breath and bowed to King Qing Zhu Taishan with a smile.

"Miao Kui, the eunuch in charge of our Royal Horse Supervisor, has met King Qing Qiansui."

Although he was still angry just now, when he heard that it was Miao Kui, the eunuch in the imperial horse supervisor in the capital, the face of King Qing Zhu Taifeng paled. The first reaction was that he had happened. As for what happened, he himself could not count how many things the Qing Mansion had on the ground in Ningxia. It would be fine if he didn't pursue it on weekdays, but as long as he was investigated, Ying Jing'er would be countless handles. So, he didn't care about his prince's honor and stood up and bowed back and forth.

"I didn't know that Eunuch Miao has arrived, and this vassal has never been to welcome her. It's really negligent. I don't know that Eunuch Miao is here..."

Seeing that King Qing Zhu Taifeng was full of fear, Miao Kui had been grinding with Yiweisi outside for a long time and finally dissolved a little. He looked around again at the military officers around him, and then said lightly: "Our family was ordered to visit the northwest borders, passing through the three towns of Datong, Yansui, Xuanfu. Unexpectedly, Ningxia Town, the person who reported the news was stopped in the palace, and even when he arrived at the General's Mansion, he had to report the news again, but there was no news again and again. There was no way out. Our family could only volunteer to Pingbei Bo and take General Chen to come here in person!"

This speech was not loud, but it was of great importance. Although General Jiang Han secretly regretted not coming this time, many other officers also looked extremely ugly. Just when Miao Kui sneered and turned around and was about to leave, another person hurried into Chengyun Hall outside, but it was the Ningxia guerrilla general Qiu Yue, which most people recognized.

As soon as Qiu Yue came in, he felt a stiff and stagnant atmosphere in the huge hall, and he also saw Miao Kui and Chen Xiong mentioned to him at the Yimen Gate. He thought about it and seemed that he did not recognize Miao Kui and Chen Xiong, and saluted King Qing first. The general Jiang Han was stunned when he saw Qiu Yue and asked immediately: "Qiu Yue, have you taken Yuquan camp to patrol the Yellow River?"

"Master General Rong!" Qiu Yue bowed to Jiang Han, and then spoke loudly, "The General of the Third has just returned from outside. When he arrived at the General's Office, he learned that Pingbei Bo has arrived. When he learned that King Qing's birthday today, all the generals have come to Prince Qing's Office for a banquet. Pingbei Bot ordered the General of the Third has sent a jade belt as a birthday gift, and asked the generals to return to the General's Office to discuss matters!"

Compared to Miao Kui's power just now, the atmosphere finally eased a lot when Qiu Yue appeared and spoke. When the worried King Qing Zhu Taihou saw Qiu Yue personally holding a box, he immediately took it in his hand with a smile on his face and said repeatedly: "How dare you be the kindness of Pingbei Bo... Oh, since there is military intelligence, national affairs are naturally the priority, so please ask all the generals to go back as soon as possible!"

"Since that's the case, King Qing Qiansui, Mo Jiang and others surrendered!"

As General Jiang Han stood up first, the rest, whether they were drunk or not, were supported or quickly followed them out in groups. Zhu Wen's face was slightly blue. Seeing Zhou Ang, He Jin and others who were friends with him looked at him, he gestured to ask a few people to follow him. In a short while, the huge hall just now became empty.

Seeing that Zhu Taifeng was rubbing the box in his hand and hesitating for a long time, he simply stood up and walked over: "I wonder what birthday gift Pingbei Bo gave?"

When Zhu Taihou saw Zhu Weng coming over, he felt that it must be just a perfunctory thing inside and wanted to make jokes, he found that several other princes surrounded him. He had to laugh dryly, "Pingbei Bo is out, not just for this vassal. How could there be any special birthday gifts? It's just a heart-to-heart, it doesn't matter what you give."

"Hey, why should King Qing say this? Who doesn't know that Taizu's nephew, prince of the clan, prince of the clan, prince of the vassal, minister of the Duke, marquis and ministers of the lords were lying to pay homage to Wuganjun. Even if the prince of Pingbei was deeply loved by the holy family, he was just a minister. Since someone gave him a birthday gift, how could he be just a matter of heart?" Zhu Wen's words aroused the curiosity of the other kings. Seeing everyone agreeing, he said with a smile, "It's better for King Qing to let everyone take a look, otherwise everyone will be back, and they will not feel at ease?"

Seeing that this was too late, Zhu Taifeng had to take a deep breath and open the lid with a forced smile. He was ready to see a bad thing, but found that this pair of standard jade belts with twenty jade belts were made of Hetian jade. The two guitar-shaped jade belts were carved with horse totems. At first glance, they were carefully carved and valuable. His mood had just arrived underground and he suddenly improved a lot, and even handed them to several princes openly to read.

This is the birthday gift given by the emperor now. Such a heavy gift is so shameful!

Zhu Wu originally thought that Xu Xun was left in Ningxia Town General's Office, and he would be furious about it. Qiu Yue either made his own decisions or Xu Xun asked him to give him some perfunctory birthday gifts to cut off Zhu Taichung's face. Unexpectedly, it was really a generous gift. At this moment, he felt extremely uncomfortable and took the box that was passed to him. He was too lazy to take a look, so he handed it to King Qing Zhu Taichung and laughed dryly.

"I didn't expect that Pingbei Bo was so polite to King Qing. It was rare for young upstarts to be so polite! He was so kind, so it was reasonable for King Qing to prepare a post to ask him to invite him."

After leaving Prince Qing's Mansion, Miao Kui always felt that Qiu Yue was coming strangely and was too lazy to talk to the generals of Ningxia Town. He called Chen Xiong and rushed back first. During the Hongzhi year, when he and Baoguo Duke Zhu Hui led their troops to fight, the generals of the three towns in Shaanxi were very distant from the Beijing army, and he had no good feelings for these people. At this time, he left in a moment. Seeing his posture, the officers of the General's Mansion were inevitably a little uneasy, and they surrounded General Jiang Han for a while, while Jiang Han stared at Qiu Yue.

"Qiu Yue, you gave it to him just now, wasn't that thing you gave it to in the name of Ping Beibo?"

"Master Rong, how could I do this so much?" Qiu Yue saw that the others were looking at him with some disbelief, so he had to cough heavily, "I really rushed back to the General's Mansion. The one was very angry, but later, Eunuch Zhang said that he could not find anyone when he was guarding the eunuch's mansion. Eunuch Miao and General Chen came to the Prince Qing Mansion. The one gradually calmed down. When I volunteered to come here again, I asked me to bring a birthday gift."

Qiu Yue did not mention what he had reminded Xu Xun. Seeing that he was a little hesitant, he said to General Jiang Han: "Master Rong, it's important to rush back now. You can't ignore Pingbei Bo, right?"

Jiang Han then took a deep breath and glanced at the nervous generals. He said in a deep voice: "Well, go back to the General's Mansion! Whether it is good or bad, I, the General, will always be the first to take responsibility. You don't have to panic too much!"

The word "The Law does not blame the masses" has been a famous saying since ancient times. Even though Miao Kui and Zhang Yong were both angry, when General Jiang Han brought a dozen senior officers to visit, they glanced at the officers who were all in the yard outside because they couldn't stand down, and thought that this matter would be the only thing to do. It was Xu Xun, who had the intention to kill one to warn a hundred people before, but at Qiu Yue's reminder, he thought about the news he had learned from the Jinyiwei Branch of Yansui Town, and he understood that the moment was far from being thunderous and decisive.

"General Jiang, I think you should know the news that Jinglu Guard was broken, right?"

This sentence directly reached the point. Even if Jiang Han was thick-skinned, he could not say he was unaware of it. He could only answer with a shy face: "Report to Pingbei Bo, the news has been spread. It is said that General Yang led thousands of troops to Guyuan. Now the attack on the enemy has been curbed. He was attempting to invade Longde, but he was also shocked and retreated."

"The Jinglu Guard is at the junction of Ningxia Town and Guyuan Town. Now he is leaving. What if he kills a man from Hetao and returns to Ningxia Town?" Xu Xun looked at Jiang Han with bright eyes. Seeing that his face was not so good, he clicked until he stopped pursuing this issue. He immediately said lightly, "Miao and Eunuch Miao, General Zhang and General Chen will stay in Ningxia Town for a few days, and plan to go to Zhenyuan Pass and Ningxia Pinglu. If General Qiu can get free, I will stay in Ningxia Town for the next few days!"

Xu Xun no longer took the incident of them going to the Prince Qing Mansion before. Jiang Hansong felt uneasy while feeling uneasy. This small request was naturally agreed. If Xu Xun had not specifically pointed out that only Qiu Yue was staying in Ningxia Town these few days, he would have wished to send this guerrilla general who had always been capable to accompany Xu Xun to inspect various garrisons, so as not to cause any unlucky mistakes. After he agreed repeatedly, another small school news came from outside.

"Eunuch Li and Deng asked for a meeting."

Just now, when Miao Kui and Chen Xiong went to Prince Qing's Mansion, they didn't pay attention to Li Deng and the others, but the two did not dare to think that this incident was really unknown. Therefore, they rushed back to the eunuch's mansion from Prince Qing's Mansion to change their clothes and rushed over. At this moment, they heard a word from inside, and saw that Jiang Han and others were all coming out in a row, with a different expression, so they couldn't help but be a little cautious.

Although they are quite good at Gansu Town, they are nothing in front of these powerful and powerful figures in the capital. The two big stars of Zhang Yong and Miao Kui are enough to deal with them carefully, not to mention Xu Xun! Those officers looked vulgar in the past, but they always kept a group of loyal confidants. Unlike them, they rely on the backers of the capital!

Therefore, as soon as the two entered the flower hall, they knelt down and kowtowed hard. When Zhang Yong smiled and ordered them to get up without a smile, Li Zeng smiled and said with apologies: "I really don't know that Eunuch Miao and Eunuch Zhang are coming so soon. I just heard that you have crossed the river to Yansui Town. The next battle will be together, and the news will be even more unpleasant..."

"Don't say these nonsense!" Zhang Yong interrupted Li Zeng's words in anger, and then asked word by word, "In theory, the vassal states cannot hand over the civil and military officials. How can it be used to put it in Ningxia Town?

Deng Guang saw Zhang Yong's look of provoking an army and asking for guilt, thinking that Xu Xun had specially sent a jade belt to King Qing. He couldn't help but glance at him. He didn't react at all. He could only explain slowly: "It's really different from other places. Ningxia has King Qing and King Dai, Datong has King Dai, but Datong Town is in Shanxi, but Shanxi is much richer than our Shaanxi. Shaanxi was originally poor, and the kings of Qingfu moved from Qingyang Prefecture to Ningxia Town. Therefore, the annual salary, farmland, rice and grain must be transported by border troops from each other, and time cannot be guaranteed. If the army's food and salary is insufficient, sometimes a batch of grain and money will be stored in Qingfu's granary and then it will be made up. Therefore, for King Qing's birthday, the best of all faces must be given."

Speaking of this, Li Zeng also hurriedly added: "The Kings of Qingfu were relatively generous and generous than those of the relatives who were enfeoffed in other places because they were located in the border area. After all, even if there is the Yellow River in the east and the Helan Mountain in the west, Ningxia Acropolis is not as strong as those of Xuanfu Datong. If the Tartars really attacked in large numbers, that would be a bad idea."

"In addition to this, King Qing also often provides gold and silver capital to senior generals in Ningxia Town to let them run certain specific businesses, right?"

Hearing Xu Xun's casual words, Li Zeng and Deng Guang were stunned at the same time.
