Dressed as a man with the eldest son

45

In Luan Yiwei's garrison, the other three small flags under Nan Ruo's hand were playing cards with Banner Ding.

Xiaoqi Liu Shou lost three hands in a row, and threw the cards on the table angrily: "I won't play any more, I'm too unlucky today, change to another one!"

Xiaoqi Wu Yong counted out ten pearls, and echoed, "How about mahjong?"

Zhou Qian, who won the most, looked at the nearly full box of pearls and said cheerfully: "Success, all are successful, but we are missing one of three, who can we ask for?"

The flag Ding beside Liu Shouchong raised his chin: "They will."

"That won't work." Zhou Qiandao, "The people here are all bannermen of the two of you, and they will definitely favor you. Mahjong is different from playing cards..."

Liu Shouxiao: "Who told you to send out all the bannermen? The three of us will take turns to replace them. No wonder you don't come to replace them."

Zhou Qian complained: "You don't know what I'm sending out to do? You have to listen to the order of the General Banner." Taking advantage of the situation, he praised the two of them, "I can't compare with the two elder brothers, and there is an old mother, wife and children at home. The quota of Xiaoqi almost went bankrupt."

Liu Shou and Wu Yong showed arrogance on their faces. They are worldly officials, and their ancestors were Luan Yiwei when they were Tai/zu.

Thinking of this, Liu Shou said angrily: "It's different now, look, even a merchant can come in, Luan Yiwei's face is almost lost, and he even assigned us to him..."

Wu Yong also said: "That's not true, look at how he is targeting us, the villain is so arrogant."

"Hey, two brothers, be careful that walls have ears. We can't say that." Zhou Qian reminded, "Don't forget that Zongqi is accompanied by the crown prince, and His Majesty values ​​it, and his father..."

"What kind of accompanist is he? He didn't rely on his father's favor to force him in. Do you think His Royal Highness has ever had him around?" Liu Shou sneered, and his tone suddenly became ambiguous, "Then Nangong Yunlin I have been with His Majesty for more than ten years, and I don't see His Majesty getting tired of him."

"I'm capable." Wu Yong bit the word "capable", showing a wretched smile that men can understand, "You can ask your majesty to take it with you everywhere..."

Zhou Qian hurriedly said: "You two can stop, everyone in the world knows that His Majesty has a deep love for the Queen, and His Majesty is wise, how can he be influenced by villains."

Liu Shou waved his hand indifferently: "Who would know in our own barracks, besides, what disrespectful words did we say?"

Is it disrespectful to say that Nangong Yunlin is favored by His Majesty?

Wu Yong ridiculed Zhou Qian's timidity, and said: "It's not just the two of us who think so, you go outside and ask, those sour scholars can talk better than us in private, see how scared you are, then let's go Stop talking, talk about something else..." He winked at Liu Shou, "Do you know that there was a He Yuanlang in the previous dynasty?"

Liu Shou chuckled: "How can I not know, from the father to the son, who was the favorite of Emperor Ai, the emperor Ai's dragon bed is about to be imprinted by their father and son..."

Wu Yong's tone was wretched: "I've heard of sending a daughter to a concubine, but this is the first time I've heard of sending a son. It is said that both He Yuanlang and his son are beautiful. Emperor Ai is very lucky."

Since it wasn't about being in court, Zhou Qian had no scruples, and followed up with a few words of agreement.

Liu Shou and Wu Yong were even more energetic, and the more they talked, the more dirty they became. Anyway, what they were talking about was about the past, and they were not afraid of being spread out.

The Qi Ding who helped move the mahjong table listened silently, and when the table was put away, he suddenly covered his stomach and ran out under the pretext of going to the toilet.

When he went out the door, he found a person muttering for a while, the person's eyes lit up after hearing this, and he ran away quickly, to the soil slope in front of the forest where he was stationed, and told the boy who was squatting on the soil slope.

"Brother Shao, why are you asking about this?" said the younger brother who was gnawing on a pig's trotter, "Let's not mess with Nangong, he is the general flag."

The boy was exactly the "Brother Shao" Shao Huaiting that Nan Ruo wanted to embarrass him when he first entered the station.

"Eat your meat!" Shao Huaiting gave him an angry look, "Who said I'm going to mess with him."

He kicked the stone under his feet with some resentment. If it hadn't been for the crime of Guangdehou, he would have become a small flag now. After three years, it was hard to raise the small flag, but it was all ruined. Those gangs of birds and monkeys, who enjoyed drinking and getting money, turned their faces and refused to recognize anyone.

After all, he still has no backing, look at Nangong Ruogu, who raised the general flag in just a few days, it would be great if he had a father like Nangong Yunlin.

But now he had to beg for food from Nangong Ruogu, he was really depressed, but thinking of the situation at home, he gritted his teeth: "Let's go, find Nangong Zongqi."

After meeting him and listening to his words, Nan Ruo said indifferently: "Do you think I don't know what they are doing?"

How could he really let go, he knew the virtues of those three people clearly.

"I, I..." Shao Huaiting panicked, he thought that he would be accepted by Nangong Ruogu with a different opinion when he came to vote with news, but he didn't know that he didn't need to report the news himself.

"However," Nan Ruo took out another carrot after hitting a stick, "You can tell me that you have a heart. If you are willing to come forward and report the three people, I will order you to fill in the vacancy. How about it?"

Shao Huaiting hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth: "Okay!"

Pulling up the hem of his clothes, he knelt down and bowed down: "The subordinates are all under the command of the general banner!"

Let Nan Ruogao take a look at this. He has heard about the Shao family. Once Guangde Hou fell, the Yu family who relied on him also followed the wall. Usually, he used to be arrogant, but once the Yu family fell, he was set up to owe gambling debts, and even sold his house.

If Shao Huaiting found him, he was afraid that he would have nowhere to go, he would be a man if he could put down his face and have such courage.

Three days passed in a flash.

Xiaoqi handed in the investigation report, Nan Ruo took it and looked through it one by one, and smiled at Wei Siyuan and Xu Xinquan: "That's right, it's very detailed, especially Xinquan, even the good deeds of the three generations of ancestors are recorded, hand it over to Tan Zhenfu I must be very pleased, Zhenfu has been worrying about the lack of manpower available in our guard, Siyuan and Xinquan are good, when Zhenfu returns to Beijing, I will show off to him."

Liu Shou and the others couldn't help showing remorse. Who knew that Tan Zhenfu would be the next commander, and it would be a great thing to make an impression on him. I didn't expect to miss it like this.

Liu Shou and Wu Yong complained in their hearts that they didn't say anything beforehand, but the merchant was indeed insidious and cunning.

"As for the three of you." Nan Ruo smiled, "I also have a survey here, which seems to be slightly different from what you submitted, can someone tell me why?"

He asked the first day of junior high school to send them the prepared materials.

Liu Shou and Wu Yong exchanged glances, took it over and opened it.

Zhou Qian didn't open it, and directly bowed his head: "This subordinate is negligent in his supervision and is not effective in supervision, please be punished by the general flag."

Nan Ruo raised his eyebrows and looked at Liu Shou and Wu Yong.

The two of them never carefully read the report Qi Ding presented to them, and they could not see any discrepancies. They were about to quibble, when suddenly there was a shout in front of the barracks:

"Subordinate Shao Huaiting sued Liu Wuzhou and the three small flags under the Nangong General Banner. The three laughed and laughed in the army, defied the prohibition agreement, complained a lot, and angered their commander..."

Liu Shouwuyong's face changed drastically: "Nonsense!"

Zhou Qian broke out in cold sweat instantly, what Shao Huaiting recited was the Seventeen Laws of the Imperial Guard 54 Cuts!

"Whether you're talking nonsense or not, just ask." Nan Ruo didn't give them a chance to refute, got up and went outside.

Those who heard the shouts from the surrounding barracks also came over one after another.

Liu Shouwuyong rushed to Shao Huaiting, and was held down by Wei Siyuan and Xu Xinquan leading the banner.

"I want to see who is slandering my banner!" Nan Ruo was even more angry than the two of them, and he came to Shao Huaiting with anger on his face, "It turned out to be you. Crawl!"

Shao Huaiting knelt down, bowed down and bowed: "The subordinate was really obsessed with ghosts for a while, and he already knew what was wrong, but now he didn't bite on purpose because of this, there is indeed evidence."

Liu Shouwuyong hurriedly said: "Don't listen to his nonsense, Zongqi, he just came here to accuse and frame him. He said that the three of us never did anything."

Nan Ruochao and the two smiled gently: "In that case, listen to his nonsense so that you can refute them one by one and prove that you are indeed innocent."

Liu Shouwuyong didn't feel that the smile was gentle at all, but felt a chill run up his spine.

Over there, Shao Huaiting had already loudly stated what the three of them had said.

When it came to those nasty jokes, Nan Ruo's laughter immediately turned into anger before he could put it away in the future, and he was about to draw a knife to fight, but was stopped by Liu Zongqi and other small flags who rushed over.

"Calm down, don't be impulsive..."

Nan Ruo was full of anger, holding up the knife: "These two people slandered my father, how can I turn a blind eye?!"

Liu Zongqi hurriedly said: "This matter is only Shao Huaiting's side story, I don't know whether it is true or not..."

Shao Huaiting immediately said loudly: "I have witnesses. Liu Shou's flag Ding Tanggang heard it with his own ears. He is willing to stand up and testify."

Liu Zongqi turned his head and glared at him angrily: "You know that you will be punished with thirty military sticks for jumping over the ranks!"

Shao Huaiting straightened his back, with a fearless expression on his face: "Of course I know, but if I don't report it, I won't feel at ease. Our Luanyi Guards are His Majesty's personal guards, but they slander His Majesty in the barracks. If it gets to His Majesty's ears... "

"Shut up!" Liu Zongqi shouted hastily.

"Let him speak." Nan Ruo pushed Liu Zongqi away, suppressing his anger, "Since there are witnesses, call them here to listen. Wei Siyuan and Xu Xinquan listened to the order and brought Liu Wuzhou and Zhou to confront each other!"

Liu Zongqi still wanted to persuade him, but Nan Ruo said coldly, "This is a matter under my banner and has nothing to do with Liu Zongqi."

Liu Zongqi paused.

Nan Ruo ignored him, Liu Zongqi has a temperament of everything and nothing, and he often talks about "more things are worse than less things" and "peace is the most important thing in everything". As long as this kind of person does not touch his own interests, he is not will come out.

When the three of them were escorted over, Liu Shou and Wu Yong lowered their heads and were unconvinced. Everyone said that on weekdays. Why did they have something to do with slandering His Majesty when they came here? They glanced at Shao Huaiting resentfully, and dared to sue them. Looking back, how can I call him good-looking.

When Tang Gang came to testify, Liu Shou's eyes almost burst into flames.

Tang Gang was not good at words, but he firmly proved that Liu Shou and the other three had indeed said those words, and firmly said: "This subordinate is also willing to accept the military stick!"

He looked at the bannermen who had oppressed him in the past, and seeing them avoiding him one after another, he felt courage suddenly and straightened his back.

"What do you three say?!" Nan Ruo shouted.

Liu Shou and Wu Yong immediately called out to Qu: "He made it up randomly. We never said it. How could Zongqi listen to his one-sided words. If so, I can stand up and find someone to slander me at will."

Zhou Qian's lips moved. He already realized that this matter might not be good. Unlike Liu Shou and Wu Yong, he didn't have the courage to refute. What's more... Liu Shou and Wu Yong said all the slanderous words, but he didn't say anything.

"Xu Xinquan!" Nan Ruo shouted loudly, "Seventeen Laws of the Forbidden Army 54, beheaded once!"

Xu Xinquan stepped forward: "First, if you hear the drums, you can't enter, you can't hear the gold, you can't raise the flag, you can't hold the flag down, this is called disobedience to the army, and the offender will be killed..."

"Loud!" Nan Ruo shouted.

Xu Xinquan said loudly: "Secondly, you shouldn't be called by name, it won't be time..."

After reading "too many complaints, anger the general", Shao Huaiting, who knelt down, followed up and said in harmony: "...this is called building an army, and the offenders will be beheaded!"

Wei Siyuan followed suit.

Nan Ruo turned to look at the bannermen under his command, followed immediately one by one, and the recitation sounded all over the camp for a while.

The military order is like a number and an oath, the more you read it, the more solemn you become, and the more you read it, the more ashamed you become. This is what each of them has to write and recite silently when they enter the Luan Yiwei, but how few people have obeyed it.

The bannermen who had been watching the excitement quieted down, and some couldn't help but join in, and when there was one, there was another. When it came to the last sentence, almost everyone yelled out together.

"...more speaks less, less speaks more. This is called misleading the army, and the offender will be killed!"

The ending sounded loud.

"Okay! Okay!" Nan Ruo looked around, "I still remember that Tai/ancestor wrote seventeen laws and 54 cuts. This is the honor of the Imperial Guard. Why can the other guards do it? Our Luan Yiwei No way? Aren’t we the imperial guards?”

He only mentioned this, the slack accumulated by Luan Yiwei for decades cannot be reversed with a few words of encouragement.

"Let me ask again, what Shao Huaiting said, can you recognize the three of you?"

Liu Shou and Wu Yong were so shocked by the harsh military order that their lips pursed.

Zhou Qian knelt next to Shao Huaiting: "This subordinate admits, and this subordinate is willing to be punished."

"You..." The two glared at him, then gritted their teeth and knelt down, "I admit it."

If you admit it, you can admit it, it is possible that you can really kill them.

"Okay, dare to act and dare to be a man!" Nan Ruo said loudly, "It's the first offense, Liu Shouwuyong will receive forty army sticks, and he will execute it immediately!"

Liu Shouwuyong's expression changed drastically, how could they bear the forty army sticks, this was clearly intended to maim them!

Liu Shou immediately said: "Wang Zongqi sees that the two of us committed a crime for the first time, and we will be punished lightly, and we will definitely not commit another offense in the future." He looked at the bannermen who were watching from left and right, "Besides, we are not the only ones gambling and joking in the camp. people……"

The bannermen who were swept away immediately glared at him.

"I don't care about other flagmen, I just care about my flag." Nan Ruo interrupted him in a cold voice, "From now on, all flagmen under my flag will strictly abide by the military law, and if there are any offenders, they will be punished according to the military law!"

Liu Shou and Wu Yong were anxious: "You are taking selfish revenge. I want to sue Zhang Baihu and Tan Zhenfu..."

"Wei Siyuan!" Nan Ruo turned around, "What are you waiting for, call me! I'll take care of any problems!"

Wei Siyuan and Xu Xinquan stepped forward together with their bannermen.

"You want to see Tan Zhenfu, I want to see Your Majesty, I have a grievance, I am from the Luan Yiwei of the Liu family, and I am loyal..." Liu Shou was furious, "You merchant, you..."

Xu Xinquan covered his mouth.

When Nan Ruo gave an order, the army sticks fell down with a clatter, and together with Shao Huaiting and Tang Gang, the two of them were afraid of shame, so they specifically called them and gagged them.

One stick after another went down, trembling and sweating like rain.

Luan Yiwei hadn't experienced such a thing for many years, the surrounding area was completely silent, and some people were too frightened to even look at it.

After Shao Huaiting and Tang Gang's punishment was over, Nan Ruo said: "Shao Huaiting and Tang Gang have made meritorious service. They fill in Liu Shouwu's eternal vacancy. They are promoted to a small banner, and Zhou Qian is demoted to a banner!"

The general banner has the power to appoint and dismiss its own small banners. If it is on the march or on the battlefield, no one will be held accountable even if they are executed on the spot. Only the guards of the guards have been in chaos for a long time, and the origins of each other's scruples are irrelevant.

"I will send someone to treat you, and I will pay all the expenses during the period, including Zhou Qian." He looked at his twenty or so subordinates, "I will never treat you badly for what my bannermen deserve!"

Liu Zongqi came forward with a bitter face, earnestly saying: "Liu Shou and Wu Yong were born in Luan Yiwei for generations, from thousands of households down to Xiaoqi, and they have more or less friendship with his family. If you beat them, you are afraid that you will not be happy afterwards." It's going to be easy..."

Nan Ruo thought to himself, why didn't you tell me when I gave the order to beat someone, the fight was almost over, and I came here to show off, the anger on my face was still there: "The state owns the country's laws, and the army has military regulations, the two of them made mistakes, why can't I punish them? You reminded me that the two of them made mistakes, and it was because of my laxity that I dared them to slander His Majesty, so I don’t need them to intervene with me, so I will go and apologize to Your Majesty!"

As he spoke, he unloaded the saber and handed it over to his followers, and strode out, filled with the jealousy and righteous indignation of a young man.
