Chapter 174(1/2)

A bad person is a bad person, and he still wants to punish people at this time. Even Wei Zhongxian was shocked by this kind of operation! Wei Guanghui, a bad guy. Not only is he a bad guy, he is also a fighter among bad guys.

After listening to Wei Guanghui's idea, Wei Zhongxian entered the palace without delaying for a second.

"Your Majesty! Something bad has happened." As soon as Wei Zhongxian entered the door, he knelt down without saying a word.

Zhu Youzheng was preparing to take a nap under Hakka's service. He made a large four-door wardrobe today and was really a little tired. Seeing Wei Zhongxian like this, he immediately opened his eyes.

"What's the matter? I didn't see that Your Majesty was about to take a nap. He is quite old and is also an important minister of the imperial court. Why do you get so panicked when something happens?" Looking at Zhu Youxiao's face, Keshi opened his mouth and scolded Wei Zhongxian who was kneeling on the ground.

.

"Your Majesty, something serious has happened. Sun Chengzong led tens of thousands of Liao troops and left the station without permission yesterday to march towards the capital. He is going to rebel. Your Majesty, it is better to order martial law in the nine gates as soon as possible. It is important to call on the local governor to send troops to serve the king!"

"Ah...!" Keshi was so frightened that the tea cup she was holding fell to the ground. The hot tea spilled on her foot, causing Keshi to scream in pain.

"Are you okay?" Zhu Youxiao stood up immediately and helped Hakka sit on the couch.

"You old guy, I still don't think it's a big deal. Sun Chengzong is my teacher, and I know his character well. He was so noisy that he scared the saint lady." This time, Zhu Youxiao personally reprimanded Wei Zhongxian.

.

"Your Majesty! According to the regulations of our dynasty, local garrison troops are not allowed to leave their garrison without permission from the imperial edict or the Ministry of War. Sun Chengzong brought tens of thousands of people to the capital. This is obviously an evil plot. Your Majesty, don't be deceived by him.

Already." Wei Zhongxian began to scold Wei Guanghui in his heart for his bad idea. It seemed that the emperor did not have ordinary trust in Teacher Sun.

"Once again, Mr. Sun will not come to harm me. Even if he does bring troops to the capital, he will never do anything evil. Go down!" The emperor waved his hand. He was really tired from working today. He was ready to take a nap.

!

It's over! Wei Zhongxian realized the seriousness of the matter. The relationship between the emperor and this teacher Sun was not only unusual, it was very extraordinary. Sun Chengzong came to Beijing to petition and complain, in case the emperor listened to him. Maybe

I really became a fan myself!

Wei Zhongxian knew that if he really didn't ask for an explanation today, he would be in big trouble!

The emperor lay on the couch again, and Hakka sat on the edge of the couch, helping the emperor massage his temples. He kept looking at Wei Zhongxian, indicating that Wei Zhongxian would hide first and wait until the emperor woke up.

How could Wei Zhongxian prevent the emperor from waking up? Every hour passed, and Sun Chengzong was one minute closer to the capital. Shanhaiguan was only so far from the capital. Maybe his son and grandson Chengzong would work overtime and arrive as soon as the emperor woke up.

"Your Majesty! I am really worried about your Majesty's safety and the country of the Ming Dynasty! Your Majesty!" Eunuch Wei was an absolute showman of acting skills, and his eyes were always on the lookout. He knelt on the ground and surrounded Zhu Youxiao's low couch.

Climbing, crying at the same time.

When Zhu Youxiao turned over, he crawled to the back of the bed. When Zhu Youxiao turned over, Wei Zhongxian climbed back again. He didn't say anything, just knelt on the ground and cried.

One person was lying on the bed, and the other was kneeling on the ground crying. This scene was so unlucky that Hakka rolled his eyes, but Wei Zhongxian still went his own way.

"You old guy!" Zhu Youxiao was so annoyed that he sat up and kicked Wei Zhongxian on the butt. He kicked Wei Zhongxian straight to the ground!

Seeing Wei Zhongxian lying on the ground, the irritable Zhu Youxiao was amused. It was not a big deal, and Zhu Youxiao respected Sun Chengzong from the bottom of his heart. He really felt that Sun Chengzong led troops to Beijing.

Be on guard against Wei Zhongxian. After all, Yang Lian, Zuo Guangdou, Wang Wenyan and others from the Donglin Party are all dead. Teacher Sun is an honest man, but he is not stupid.

"Forget it! Let Mr. Sun go back. Liaodong is also in trouble. Don't go to Beijing if you have nothing to do. It's better to watch the Tatars than anything else." After kicking Wei Zhongxian, Zhu Youxiao lay back down again.

Go to the low couch.

"Promise! I will go on errands now." Wei Zhongxian was overjoyed. He didn't expect the emperor to agree so readily and not allow Sun Chengzong to enter the capital.

Hey! If you, Sun Chengzong, dare to go to the capital again, I will arrest you when you arrive. You can be killed for just one charge of resisting the imperial decree. Even if the emperor intervenes, Sun Chengzong will not be able to become an official.

Wei Zhongxian left the palace happily, but when he returned to the mansion, something happened again.

No one wants to announce the decree!

To be precise, no one dared to declare the decree.

What Tian Ergen said was scary. Sun Chengzong came with more than 10,000 people. This was obviously a rebellion. Proclaiming decrees in normal times was considered a good job, but now doing so meant risking death. Wei Zhongxian asked around, but no one wanted to go to Sun Chengzong's army to announce the decree.

.

Wei Zhongxian was very depressed. What kind of group of people did he get? If you want money, give money, and if you want officials, give officials. In the end, you have recruited this group of people?

"Gao Di! You go!" No one answered, so Wei Zhongxian simply took charge.

"Mr. Factory, have mercy on me! Mr. Factory, have mercy on me!" Gao Di, the Minister of War, knelt on the ground and begged for his life without saying a word.

"If you don't go, Jin Yiwei will arrest you now." Wei Zhongxian was filled with hatred. If Gao Di didn't understand, he wouldn't mind having the old man operated on.

"Master Gao, in fact, this matter is not necessarily that bad. Go to Li Xiao's army and bring the bill of lading for 200,000 taels of silver from the Ministry of Revenue. Don't hit the smiling person, not to mention you are sending money.

.For the sake of money, Li Xiao won’t embarrass you, right?

Then Li Xiao secretly supported Sun Chengzong to make trouble with us. In fact, it was not for money. Now there is so much money, just put it here. Just keep it in your heart, and the factory owner will reward you after you have gone through this.

." Cui Chengxiu was beating the drum at the same time. After all, he is his subordinate. It is not difficult for him to be such a coward.

In his mind, Gao Di sent greetings to all the female relatives in Cui Chengxiu's family.

If it's a damn good job, why don't you rush to go there? Now, if you try to fill me in with words, this is a job with a narrow chance of death.

But Gao Di didn't dare to disobey, so Wei Zhongxian asked the Jin Yiwei to arrest him after he said no. Gao Di knew better than anyone whether there was feces on his butt. If he really went to prison, he would lose his money and his life.

Okay. I still obeyed and walked away this time. I narrowly escaped death and still had a glimmer of hope.

"No! Gaudi will obey the instructions of the factory owner." Gaudi almost burst into tears.

He asked someone to write an imperial edict, and asked the eunuch to stamp it with a jade seal. Gao Di, with more than a dozen of his followers, drove out of the capital in a carriage.

Wei Zhongxian's estimate was good. If the emperor really slept, his son and grandson Chengzong might really arrive in the capital. Gao Di hurriedly traveled through the night. Finally, he found Sun Chengzong and his party who had just woken up in Jizhou.

When he saw Li Xiao's soldiers carrying muskets on their shoulders and a cannon pulled behind the carriage, Gao Di swallowed his saliva. It seemed that Tian Ergeng was right. This old guy might have rebelled.

.

Gao Di rolled his eyes and did not go to Sun Chengzong to declare the decree. Instead, he rewarded the guard with two taels of silver and asked him to report to Li Xiao. Gao Di, the Minister of War, asked to see General Li.

Li Xiao got up in the morning and was preparing to eat. Hearing that the Minister of War asked for an audience, he was a little confused.

Minister of War! I still want to see you!

The Minister of War is a dignified third-rank official. The Deputy Minister of the Ministry of War can be regarded as Li Xiao’s superior. Li Xiao even suspected that this guy was a fake. He had never met such a well-behaved deputy minister in his entire life.

class.

I was skeptical, but I still had to welcome him in person. After all, where is his official position?

"When I was at the Ministry of Industry, I heard of General Li's name. When I saw him today, he was indeed a hero." When Gao Di saw Li Xiao, he immediately laughed so hard that he couldn't even see his eyes. He even took the initiative to give Li Xiao a fist.

, causing Li Xiao to return the favor in a hurry.

"See Sir Gao!" You can avoid kneeling down, but bowing is unavoidable.

"Let's talk inside, it's a cold day." Before Li Xiao could invite him inside, Gao Di walked in. Li Xiao was stunned for a moment, then followed Gao Di into the yard.

Jizhou is an important town in Hebei. Although the posthouses here are not as good as those in the capital, they are much better than those in ordinary rural areas. Li Xiao and Li Hu Ai Husheng shared a courtyard. They let Gao Di into the main house, and Li Xiao

The guests and host sat down separately with Gaudi.

Ai Husheng personally brought a cup of tea, and Li Hu stood behind Li Xiao. His belly was protruding outwards, and the short-tubed musket stuck in his waist was particularly conspicuous.

"I wonder what's going on with Mr. Gao's sudden arrival?" Li Xiaocai didn't believe that a minister from the Ministry of War would come all night to set up a friendship with him.

"To be fair, little brother, I have two things to do here this time." Gaudi said, taking out a piece of paper from his sleeve.

This little brother's cry made Li Xiao's body covered with goosebumps, and Gao Di's eyebrows turned white. Looking at his age, he must be at least fifty if not sixty. To be Li Xiao's grandfather is not an exaggeration.

After taking the piece of paper, Li Xiao's eyes suddenly widened. This was a piece of silver withdrawal from the Ministry of Finance. With this piece of paper, he could withdraw 200,000 taels of silver from the Ministry of Finance.

It’s Fat Pig Arch this early in the morning!

Li Xiao calmed his excited little heart. Anyone who got an extra two hundred thousand taels of income would be a little excited.

"Master Gao, this is...!"

"Little brother, didn't you and Cui Shangshu have an agreement? Have you forgotten? I am here this time to help Master Cui deliver the bill for withdrawing the money. Cui Shangshu is a factory owner, and he is not a person who breaks his promise. Promise

If you live up to your little brother's business, you will definitely work hard to do it." The high school student smiled harmlessly.

Li Xiao then remembered that this was the 200,000 taels of silver promised by Cui Chengxiu. He originally thought that he would go to Beijing to talk to Cui Chengxiu this time and see if he could allocate the full amount. Unexpectedly, Cui Chengxiu specially sent a minister

, Baba delivered it.

This was so unexpected that Li Xiao secretly pinched his thigh to make sure it was not a dream.

"This...!" Li Xiao looked at the bill of lading and didn't know what to say.

Money has been really tight recently, mainly because he has to buy food in Jiangnan. Soon there will be 200,000 mouths that he needs to feed. What can he do without food?

The winter in Liaodong will last until next year, which means that Li Xiao will have to support these people for at least half a year.

Money was spent like water. Although Ai Husheng worked hard to make money, he could not keep up with such a spending speed.

These two hundred thousand taels of silver can help Li Xiao solve big problems.

"Little brother, don't be embarrassed. This is what I promised you, and I will never go back on it. This time I have another errand and I need little brother's help." Gao Di looked at Li Xiao with a smile, but he was extremely nervous in his heart. Wan

What will happen if this kid is a gangster and doesn't do anything with money?

"Oh! Does Mr. Gao have anything else to do?"

"This...! Your Majesty already knows that Lord Sun is going to the capital, and specially ordered me to come to announce the decree. Although the imperial court has an agreement with the Tatars, the two sides will not invade each other. However, Shanhaiguan is still an important place to defend the capital, even though Lord Mao and Li

It is guarded by tiger generals like General Bing, but it still needs a mature and prudent elder like Mr. Sun to take charge.
