The Jagged Empire of Daqin
Page 17
As a result, the sky did not go his way. He had just been promoted to the Minister of the Ministry of War when bad news came from the palace. The first emperor died, the young emperor ascended the throne, and the empress dowager became regent. Since then, the water in the court has become more and more turbid. From then on, his heart of helping the world, serving the country, and glorifying the ancestors was gradually dimmed...
Originally, he thought that he would no longer be able to display his ambitions and would be reduced to a decoration in the court, but he never thought that the young His Majesty already had the intention of regaining the imperial power, and seemed to be already taking action. What kind of hero can do such a thing? Make bold choices, dare to play tricks under the eyes of the Queen Mother!
Yang Ze once again saw the sunny avenue full of hope. Although this avenue is covered with thorns and wild beasts, as long as he rushes over it, he will usher in vitality. As Chang Zifei said, in the future, His Majesty will regain the imperial power. Even the minister of the dragon will definitely be reused. At that time, is he afraid that he will not be able to realize the great ambition in his heart?
"Yang Shilang is like this, I am both gratified and admired!" Chang Zifei smiled gratifiedly.
Yang Ze bowed to Chang Zifei, and said, "As a minister, it is only natural for an official to serve His Majesty. If you talk about admiration, it is for Your Majesty that Your Majesty will not hesitate to ruin his name. This is really admirable!"
"It's all for Daqin!" Chang Zifei smiled lightly.
Yang Ze nodded heavily, and his words were all for Daqin, which touched Yang Ze deeply, and then he asked, "I don't know how His Majesty is going to take back the imperial power?"
"You don't need to know these things now, you just need to do your job well!" Chang Zifei said meaningfully, without revealing the truth, and kept a little cautious towards Yang Ze.
"It's the official's abruptness!" Yang Ze nodded in shame, knowing what to know and what not to know.
"Then what does His Majesty want you to do?" Yang Ze asked again.
"Your Majesty wants to know how many soldiers Daqin has in total, where they are distributed, and who is the commander in chief. If you write all this information, I will find a way to submit it to Your Majesty!" Chang Zifei said solemnly.
"These?" Yang Ze couldn't help being taken aback, he thought it was a difficult task, but he didn't expect that it would be too easy to get this information out of his identity.
Seeing this, Chang Zifei couldn't help frowning, and asked, "Is there a problem?"
"Ha!" Yang Ze sneered, "No problem, but I think it's too simple, and I think His Majesty is asking the lower officials to do some difficult things."
"Don't take this as a simple matter!" Chang Zifei said with a slightly dignified expression.
"Oh?" Yang Ze suddenly didn't understand, for him, this is really too simple.
"I know that it is very easy to get this information in your capacity, but you have to be clear that there are people from Wei Huai in the six yamen offices. What if his people find that you have taken these away and go to inform you? Wei Huai Will he suspect you? When he checks, he will be able to find me. Now, do you still think this is an easy matter?" Chang Zifei said meaningfully.
When Yang Ze heard this, a trace of cold sweat broke out on his forehead, he was a little surprised and a little thankful, but fortunately Chang Zifei said it early, otherwise he would have taken out these things openly, so this matter has to be kept secret from everyone, and it has to be done secretly take it.
"I'm really ashamed of you, Mr. Chang, thank you for reminding me!" Yang Ze saluted with a shameful expression.
Chang Zifei flicked his sleeves, sat on the chair beside him, and said with a solemn expression: "Yang Shilang, we are all on the same boat now, so we must be careful when we do things. I'm not afraid of paying [-] yuan." Just in case!"
"The lower official understands, and the lower official must be cautious!" Yang Ze said with a serious face.
"By the way, I don't know something about the lower officials. Can Mr. Chang explain it?" Yang Ze said immediately.
"What's the matter?" Chang Zifei replied indifferently.
"I don't know why Your Majesty wants this information?" Yang Ze really couldn't bear the curiosity in his heart. In his opinion, Ying often wants these things, which is not beneficial to the current situation. Since there is no benefit, why take the big risk risk to do it?
Chang Zifei frowned, and said in a hesitant tone: "Actually, I don't know what His Majesty wants these things for, but you and I, as subjects, shouldn't speculate on the holy will. His Majesty wants these things, so they are naturally useful!"
"I have been taught!" Yang Ze nodded heavily, and learned another truth, one cannot speculate on the holy will!
"Then when will Mr. Chang want these things?" Yang Ze asked again.
"The sooner the better!" Chang Zifei replied, these things are all requested by His Majesty, and the sooner you get them, the better, and you can't slack off the edict!
"Okay, I will deliver it to Mr. Chang's residence tomorrow!" Yang Ze said solemnly.
"En!" Chang Zifei nodded, then got up from the chair, raised his hand to salute Yang Zexing, and then said in a cautious tone: "You must be careful, and you must not expose it, and in order to hide people's eyes and ears, we Tomorrow, we will arrange a person to take a low-level position in your military department, to confuse the outside world, and not let others think that we are spying on important matters, understand?"
Yang Ze also got up from his chair, and replied with a solemn expression: "Your Majesty understands!"
Chang Zifei nodded in satisfaction, then bowed slightly to salute and leave, opened the door, and walked out of the lobby. Seeing this, Yang Ze quickly followed and sent Chang Zifei out of the mansion.
For Yang Ze tonight, it was destined to be a sleepless night. Yang Ze fell asleep all night, his mind was full of things about Ying Chang and Chang Zifei. The man found out that he was wrong, and deliberately told his wife that he wanted to be alone tonight, not sharing the same bed with his wife, and having a room by himself.
But what Yang Ze didn't know was that on his roof, a man in black was drenched in heavy rain, lying on the roof and watching his every move through the cracks between the bricks and tiles...
The next morning, Yang Ze woke up, washed up, put on his official uniform and went to the office of the Ministry of War. Du Changjing followed secretly, and in order to better monitor Yang Ze, he specially changed into the clothes of an officer and sneaked into the office of the Ministry of War.
But Yang Ze secretly copied a detailed information according to what Chang Zifei said, and then went to Changfu in the afternoon and handed the things to Chang Zifei. Chang Zifei felt relieved when he got the things. In his tone, he also stayed up all night last night, just because he was worried that Yang Ze would stab him backhand. Now that he got the things, Yang Ze should have no problem.
After Du Changjing watched Yang Ze for a day, he found that Yang Ze had no intention of making a report, so he did not continue to watch.
Chapter 47 The first training of the dead soldier's camp!
At three o'clock in the evening, Changfu and Neitang!
Du Changjing and Chang Zifei sat on the tea table together, drinking tea leisurely. Chang Zifei took a sip, put down the teacup, and asked with a look of worry in his eyes: "Do you monitor this Yang Ze?" , Did you find anything unusual?"
"There is no problem with this Yang Ze, it can be used!" Du Changjing said a little tiredly.
Can you not be tired?In order to monitor Yang Ze, he walked here and there and was exposed to heavy rain all night. If he hadn't had some martial arts, he would have frozen to death on Yang Ze's roof by now.
"Then I'm relieved!" Chang Zifei breathed a sigh of relief, letting go of his worries.
"The number of weapons in Hyogo, the specific number of troops, and the list of generals at all levels have all been obtained, and the next thing is about the household department and the official department!" Chang Zifei said with a smile on his face.
Du Changjing drank a cup of tea, moistened his throat, and asked, "When are you going to see Jia Luo?"
"This...tomorrow, you have to go to court, so it's not easy for you to monitor it. The day after tomorrow, I'll send someone to invite Jia Luo over!" Chang Zifei said hesitantly.
"Please?" Du Changjing couldn't help being taken aback.
Chang Zifei nodded and said, "That's right, please come here. He's just a mere doctor. If I, the Shangshu, come to visit in person, it will inevitably make people suspicious. It's best to invite him here!"
"That's fine, since I don't have anything to do here for the time being, I'll go to the suburbs tomorrow to see how the kids are doing in training. I don't know if I haven't been back for a day, and if anyone has run away!" Du Changjing said indifferently.
He is the only one in charge of the plan to train the dead. He has not gone back for a day now, and it is not ruled out that some children sneaked away.
"You must be cautious on your side so as not to be discovered. At the same time, you must be stricter. Whether the palace change can succeed or not depends on the death camp!" Chang Zifei said with a serious expression.
The whole plan, the most important point is to train the dead, which is the key of the key, and it must not be lost.
"Well, I will try my best!" Du Changjing nodded solemnly and replied.
Next, Du Changjing continued to stay in Changfu for a while, then left Changfu and ran towards the western suburbs.
On the next day!
Thirty miles west of Xianyang City, there is a courtyard. The walls of this courtyard are entangled with weeds, and the walls are covered with cracks. It seems that the walls of this courtyard will collapse when the wind blows. The houses in this courtyard are also dilapidated. Yes, but it seems that the outside is relatively clean, there are no weeds, and it has obviously been cleaned up.
There is a large open space in the yard. In this open space, there are about a hundred children. These children are big and small, with immature faces. They stand neatly in ten rows, ten people in a row. In front of them stood a tall and straight young man with a heroic look on his brows.
The eyes of these children looking at him were full of respect and gratitude, because they were bought by Du Changjing from the traffickers, and the food they ate at the traffickers was not as good as that of a dog, and it was normal for them to be hungry.
After Du Changjing brought them back, they had enough food, clothes to wear, and beds to sleep in, so these children were very grateful to him and listened to him very much. Du Changjing didn't come back all day, and there was no child run away.
Du Changjing looked solemnly, looked around at the immature children without a smile, and immediately said in a slightly cold tone: "Do you know what a dead man is?"
Du Changjing's voice is not loud, but every child can hear Du Changjing's voice.
When the children heard Du Changjing's words, they shook their heads to express their ignorance. Seeing this, Du Changjing continued to say: "The dead man, as the name suggests, fulfills the order given by the sender at all costs. Said, I will let you die now, you must complete my order without blinking your eyes, understand?"
"Understood!"
"understand!"
The voices of the children replied in a chaotic manner, not neat at all, and Du Changjing didn't care, and continued to say: "Next, I will teach you some tricks and fighting skills, and there will be very strict training, which you must complete , otherwise you are not allowed to eat, and in addition, you will call me the instructor in the future!"
"Yes!!"
As soon as they heard the word "eat", the children seemed to have been beaten with chicken blood, and it was rare to yell in a neat voice.
Next, Du Changjing gave each child a wooden dagger, which was unopened and could not kill anyone, and then taught them how to use the dagger. After the children were familiar with the dagger, he taught them some melee skills and martial arts tricks .
After a process, half a day passed. During this period, Du Changjing didn't let them eat a mouthful of food, but only let them drink water, and they couldn't drink too much.
After the martial arts tricks and melee skills were taught, they were asked to squat up and down for [-] times. Since it was the first day of training, Du Changjing did not increase the training level. After all, he couldn't eat hot tofu in a hurry!
After one hundred children gritted their teeth and finished squatting with weights, each of them lay on the ground so tired that they couldn't get up.
"Tired?" Du Changjing asked looking at the children lying on the ground panting.
"tired..."
"Coach...I'm hungry..."
The children were lying on the ground feebly, and some children even lost the strength to speak.
"The coach has something to do these two days. You guys should rest for two days. When I come back to continue training, let's eat first!" Du Changjing said solemnly.
"Great, it's time to eat!"
"Haha, don't grab it, don't grab it!"
As soon as they heard the meal, all the children got up happily and ran into the kitchen to grab something to eat. Du Changjing looked at the innocent smiles of the children in front of him, and he couldn't help showing a smile from his heart.
The day passed quickly like this. The children went to bed early and fell asleep after eating, while Du Changjing left the yard and ran towards Xianyang City. There was still some dry food in the kitchen. Because Du Changjing was away, they had nothing to eat.
On the second night at Maoshi, Xianyang City, and Changfu!
In the inner hall of the Chang Mansion, Du Changjing and Chang Zifei sat cross-legged in front of the tea table as before, but Chang Zifei at this time looked worried and lamented from time to time.
Seeing this, Du Changjing couldn't help but asked curiously: "It seems that something is wrong with you today, what's the matter, what happened to the court?"
"Alas!" Chang Zifei sighed heavily, and said with pain on his face: "Today's court meeting, the Demon Empress decreed to cede Nanyang County and Hebei County to the Jin Empire in order to settle the grievances of the Jin Empire. Send people to the Jin Empire to meet the Jin Emperor, sign the letter of credence, and the two counties are gone like this again!"
"Your Majesty's expectations are right!" Du Changjing shook his head and gave a wry smile. At the beginning, Yingchang had said that the next step for the demon queen was to cede the land, and now the demon queen really did.
Chapter 48 Jarrow! [Wordless] Ten thousand rewards plus more
Fadao reminds you: ask for collection () after reading, and it is more convenient to read again.
"Forget it, the matter has come to an end, let's not talk about it, the more I talk about it, the more painful it will be!" Chang Zifei waved his hands helplessly, not wanting to talk about this sad thing anymore.
Du Changjing nodded, and he didn't want to talk about it. Whenever he talked about cutting the land, he thought of the [-] soldiers of the Ever Victorious Army who fought bravely against the enemy.
"Did you invite Jia Luo?" Du Changjing picked up the topic and talked about the current business.
"Someone has been sent, but they may not be able to invite them for a while!" Chang Zifei said with a smile.
"What do you mean?" Du Changjing didn't understand all of a sudden.
"You will know later, let's drink tea!"
"Oh!"
...........
At the same time, Jia Fu!
Compared with Chang's Mansion, Jia's Mansion is much smaller. The whole mansion has only two courtyards, one is for the servants and the other is for the master's house.
In the ancestral hall of Jia's mansion, Jia Luo, a household doctor, sat cross-legged on the futon with his eyes closed. In front of him were the spiritual tablets of Jia's ancestors. Jia's family was also a famous family at first. Jarrow's father's generation has already withered.
Jia Luo is a very ambitious person. He has been looking forward to his own efforts to bring the Jia family back to the list of famous families in the Great Qin Dynasty. Colleagues at the top level will either be promoted to ministers or sent out to be sheriffs.
He really couldn't understand where he lost. In terms of family background, the Jia family was once a famous family. In terms of ability, he didn't lose to anyone. Jia Luo is a complicated person. Collaborate with those corrupt officials.
As the water in the court became more and more turbid, and the officialdom became more and more chaotic, Jia Luo had a lot of troubles for several days in a row. The reason for these troubles was that the household department had parachuted a servant, who was the nephew of the minister of the household department. He is proud and unrestrained, has no ability, has a lot of shit, and doesn't pay attention to any officials except those below the rank of minister. Among them, Jarrow is the official.
Jarrow was very irritable, and only the tranquility of the ancestral hall and the smell of incense could calm him down.
"master!"
At this moment, a voice suddenly came from behind. Jia Luo opened his eyes, turned his back to the visitor impatiently and said, "I told you not to disturb me, do your ears grow under your feet?"
A servant was standing at the entrance of the ancestral hall, and hearing Jia Luo's tone, the servant lowered his head in fear, then bent down and said: "Master, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, Shuchang, has sent someone to invite you to come. A visit to the Changfu, saying that there is something important to discuss!"
"Shangshu of the Ministry of Officials? Chang Zifei?" Jia Luo frowned, with a look of displeasure on his brows. Speaking of which, it was Chang Zifei who came to play Wei Huai's servant, that is to say, there was no Chang Zifei who went to play Wei Huai. , there is no airborne servant!
Thinking of this, Jarrow's heart was filled with anger, and he immediately shouted in a cold voice, "Don't go!"
"Ah? Won't you go? But master, Mr. Chang is not a petty official of the fourth or fifth rank, but a minister of the second rank. If you don't go, Mr. Chang will not like it!" said the servant with a worried look on his face.
Chang Zifei is now the prime minister's celebrity, and the minister at that time didn't give him any favors, not to mention that Jia Luo was only a doctor in the fifth-rank household department. It can be said that it is Jia Luo's honor that Chang Zifei can invite him into the Chang's residence. , and now she refuses, it's too embarrassing for people, this servant is really worried that Chang Zifei will wear small shoes for Jia Luo.
Hearing this, Jia Luo got up angrily, turned around and said angrily to the servants, "So what if Chang Zifei doesn't like it, he's just the secretary of the official department, and he can't control the head of the household department, go, let Chang Get out of the mansion, I don't want to go to some shit Changfu!"
"This..." The servant was in a dilemma for a while, and finally, under the coercion of Jia Luo, he said helplessly, "Since you won't go, then you have to find a reason?"
"What's the reason? Tell him what the reason is. If I don't want to go, I won't believe it. If I don't go to this Changfu, this official will not be able to do it anymore!" Jia Luo said angrily.
"Yes Yes!"
The servants hurriedly left, not daring to stay any longer, lest it be me who was unlucky.
After the servants left, Jia Luo's anger still persisted, and his chest heaved violently. If it wasn't for this ancestral hall, at least he would have smashed a few porcelains before he would give up!
After a while, the inner hall of Changfu.
Chang Zifei was alone in the inner hall, and a villain was reporting something to him. After listening to the servant's report, Chang Zifei said, "Continue, please tell him, if you don't come, don't think about it in the future." Have a good day!"
"Yes!" The servant nodded, quickly turned around and left the inner hall, and closed the door smoothly.
