Chapter 634: Point general and check the accounts

Views:

Qingqiu City, in the Imperial City, on the Jade Platform, in Qingqiu Palace.

Linghu Qingqing stood in front of the dragon case, with dark clouds on her face, as if a wild thunder might strike at any time.

He stood on the imperial platform with his hands behind his back, overlooking Wu Tie from a high position, and suddenly shouted loudly: "King An, Huo Xiong, can you clean up all the ugliness for me, and kill all those who dare to act rashly and violate my territory?" ?”

Wu Tie solemnly clasped his fists and said in a deep voice: "Here."

Linghu Qingqing raised his brows and squinted his eyes. The green light in his eyes illuminated the whole hall and turned it into a bronze color. Countless fish and dragon-like heavenly runes flashed rapidly in the green divine light, turning into large light and shadows that quickly swirled on the walls of the hall.

He said coldly: "Are you confident?"

Wu Tie smiled calmly: "It's just a matter of death."

After a pause, Wu Tie quickly inflicted a wound on the Xiang family: "Your Majesty, just don't worry. When I leave, I will try my best to win... If I lose, I will never have the shame to come back to see your Majesty... I will serve as the country's leader." Be loyal and die on that battlefield.”

The green light in Linghu Qingqing's eyes became more and more intense. In the flash of divine light, he stared at Wu Tie for a long time, and then asked: "So, I am very pleased... What are your requirements for going here?"

Wu Tie pondered for a moment, raised his head, and said in a deep voice: "When I use troops, the more the better. No matter how many troops and horses there are, the more the better. It is also said that before the soldiers and horses move the food and grass, I need to have enough baggage, food and grass. ,enough… "

Linghu Qingqing interrupted Wu Tie's words and clapped her hands vigorously.

Linghu Ah Yi quickly walked out from behind the screen behind the throne, holding a purple gold tray. Holding the tray in both hands, he quickly came to Wu Tie, bowed slightly, and presented the tray to Wu Tie.

On the purple gold tray, there is a blue jade scabbard, decorated with a nine-tailed sky fox relief. The sword is shining all over, and an extremely restrained and domineering aura is hidden deep in the scabbard. If it were not for the powerful power of Wu Tie's soul, it would be far away. It would be difficult for an extraordinary person to feel this powerful yet restrained aura.

In addition to this sword, which is quite extraordinary for its appearance, there is also a large token one foot and two inches long on the purple gold tray, as well as a small token with eighteen sides and six inches long.

The nineteen tokens are all carved from the same blue jade material as the scabbard of the sword. They are decorated with patterns of thunder, wind and clouds and reliefs of nine-tailed celestial foxes. On the front are the four ancient seal characters "I am here in person" in gilded fonts. Gold, and even more strict restrictions are densely covered on it. The four big characters are shining with golden light, setting off each other with the cyan token, and the end is extremely majestic.

Next to the nineteen tokens, there is a three-foot-six-inch long sapphire scroll. Judging from the style, it is the most authentic eight scriptures of the Qingqiu Divine Kingdom. It was written and sealed by the God Emperor himself, and it is displayed in every palace and yamen. For the record, the 'Great Emperor's Edict' has supreme authority.

"This sword can kill princes." A fierce light flashed through the depths of Linghu's Qingqing eyes: "I will give you the right to specialize. Anyone who obstructs your actions on the battlefield, even the royal family, will just be killed. , I will go and litigate with his relatives, young and old."

"That token will be with you as the leader. On the battlefield, you can exercise the power of the God-Emperor. When military deployment is required, it all depends on you."

"You can reward the eighteen small tokens to your subordinates and trusted generals. If the title is below the first-grade marquis and the military rank is below the second-grade general, if anyone dares to delay the military plane, the trusted generals you have ordered will also be killed. Of."

"I will give you another imperial edict... When you go to the battlefield of the Three Kingdoms, you will receive soldiers and horses along the way, including civilian monks, private soldiers of wealthy families, guards of chambers of commerce, and even slaves, bandits, etc. If necessary, just recruit them into an army. Dare you Those who disobey will be destroyed."

Linghu Qingqing took a deep breath, her eyes became more intense, even staring at Wu Tie with a hint of fanaticism and hysteria.

"I will give you unprecedented arbitrary power... Huo Xiong, don't let me down!"

Without allowing Wu Tie to say another word, Linghu Qingqing flicked his sleeves, and a huge force came over him, and Wu Tie exited Qingqiu Palace. Linghu Qingqing's voice was like the sound of divine thunder above the nine heavens, 'rumbling' resounding throughout the imperial city.

"An Wang Huo Xiong, act with peace of mind... don't let me down, don't let me down."

Linghu Qingqing's voice came out of the imperial city. Standing on the street outside the imperial city, Gongyang Sanlu, wearing plain clothes and picking frozen pears at a fruit stall on the roadside, smiled slightly, raised his head and looked at the dark clouds. sky, murmuring: "It's going to snow... It's getting cold... Tsk, are you starting to get anxious? Where are you from now!"

Gongyang Sanlu smiled happily. He lowered his head and looked at the frozen pears that were sealed with a thin layer of ice on the fruit stall. They were very gentle and homely, and he started bargaining with the fruit seller.

The dignified Grand Master of the Qingqiu Divine Kingdom, just like the most ordinary old lady in the market, grumbled here for a full quarter of an hour for the price of half a copper, and finally gave in to the fruit seller. Yang Sanli won the final victory, happily carrying three pears and walked away happily.

While Gongyang was thinking about bargaining, Wu Tie had already walked out of the imperial city with the imperial edict, sword and token.

Surrounded by the guards of the brigade, Wu Tie handed the imperial edict to Wu Jin and asked him to hold it in his hands. He hung the sapphire-sheathed Shang Fang sword on his waist, grabbed the largest token in his hand, and the other ten Wu Yin held eight tokens in his hand.

After pondering for a moment, Wu Tie shouted sharply: "By the emperor's order... Where is Xiang Zhan?"

Several senior military officials with stern faces, wearing dark purple robes, jade belts, and jade crowns, quickly walked out from the gate of the imperial city.

One of them said loudly: "Xiang Zhan, Xiang Tuo, and the generals of the first and second ranks of the Xiang family who participated in the war have all been put into the military prison and are being interrogated by the Criminal Law Department... The generals of the third rank and below of the Xiang family who participated in the war are under house arrest. Xiang Mansion…”

"What's there to interrogate? What are they doing when they are imprisoned?" Wu Tie waved his hand and snorted coldly: "With the brains of these Xiang family guys, they can't do anything treasonous. I'm afraid they'll be tricked... Young Master Release all the nonsense, but let the military department impose a ban on them... Let them form a death camp and serve under my command."

Wu Tie's eyes flashed coldly, and he snorted coldly: "The generals of the Xiang family can only charge into battle, so they are most suitable to be used as death squads. Let them lead the army, it would be..."

Wu Tie wanted to say, "The appointment is unknown", but when he thought about it, using the Xiang family as a general also had the meaning of Linghu Qingqing.

So he didn't say this out loud. After all, he was standing outside the imperial city gate to give Linghu Qingqing some face.

Two senior military officials in purple robes hurried away, and Wu Tie asked the remaining men: "Well, I am enjoying my time in the feudal country... Who suggested that I go to the Three Kingdoms battlefield to unify the army?" Soldier? I am in the military department, so I am not so popular, am I?"

Several senior military officials were dumbfounded.

Don't you, Prince An Huo Xiong, have any idea? Not only are you not popular with the military in the Qingqiu Divine Kingdom, you have a bad reputation... Although you have merit in killing the First Army, and you have merit in killing the generals and countless soldiers under the First Army, but you can't even see your subordinates The twelve imperial guards of the Four Gardens were also killed with the Black Sky Cauldron. This was going too far.

Not to mention, the generals in the world are one family. Even if 70% of them follow Linghu Qingqing and 30% of them follow the First Army, generals and generals are still intermarrying with each other...

Many of the generals under the First Army are the in-laws of many military leaders in the Qingqiu Divine Kingdom, and they are even related by blood such as cousins... You Wang An 'Huo Xiong' killed so many people in one battle, you Do you still expect to be popular

However, looking at the token in Wu Tie's hand and the sword at his waist, the senior military official who had just answered still spoke: "This time the Three Kingdoms were defeated on the battlefield, all the generals that the country can dispatch have been dispatched, and all the famous generals in the world have been dispatched. , you are the only one left, Prince An... It was the Grand Master who personally came forward to recommend it."

Wu Tie shouted "Wow!" "Old thief, didn't you just extort the land of his nine counties as a ransom? I have a broad mind and thought that this matter would just go away. Unexpectedly, he is here waiting for me. king."

Wu Tie snorted angrily, and cursed: "If I had known better, I would have trampled this little beast Gong Yangsi to death that day."

Gongyang Sanlu was carrying a bag of frozen pears and slowly walked to the gate of the imperial city. He wanted to watch Wu Tie's bustle... Suddenly, from a long distance away, he heard Wu Tie's curse. .

Gongyang Si is a little beast, so what is his Gongyang Sansi

Gongyang Sanlu stamped his feet, snorted coldly, turned around and left. The pears he had finally bargained for were thrown directly into the gutter by the roadside - he was a grand master of the court and ate all kinds of rare delicacies. , how could it be possible to eat such an ordinary frozen pear

Before Gongyang Sanli could even take two steps, he heard Wu Tie shouting from behind.

"Come here, I want the information of all generals and civil servants on the battlefield of the Three Kingdoms...especially those named Gongyang, as well as those generals and civil servants related to the Gongyang family. I will give you the information for an hour. , quickly prepare everything and send it to the king’s palace.”

"Come here, follow me to the warehouse of the Palace of Works... Bring more manpower and prepare more large battleships... The more troops the better for me, and the more heavy ordnance of all kinds, the better..."

"By the way, from the yamen of the Military Department, such as the Cleaning Department, the Rotation Department, and the Transfer Department, a group of accountants and bookkeepers will be drawn out. I... No, I am going to the Gongdian to check the accounts. Haha, I will give the order as soon as I have the power. Okay, don’t let me grab the little whip of the master of the Gongdian Palace, will he be killed?”

"I heard that the master of Gongdian Palace is Gongyang Sanlu's disciple? Oh, if we don't punish him to death, who should be punished to death?"

"Haha, a shabby place like the battlefield of the Three Kingdoms has been beaten to a pulp, and you want me to take the blame? Old thief, if I can't kill you, can't I kill your disciples and grandchildren?"

Outside the gate of the imperial city, a group of eunuchs and guards on duty, as well as officials from the military and other major government offices who were waiting for orders, all looked at Wu Tie in stunned silence.

These court bosses have all lived for many years and have seen countless arrogant and domineering civil servants and military generals.

You think Linghu Qingqing has been domineering enough in the past six thousand years, right

But Linghu Qingqing never threatened to kill the master of the palace at the gate of the imperial city!

This King An... As he said, once he has the power, he will carry out his orders... This villain's successful face is really speechless.

However, Linghu Qingqing has already given the 'Great Edict', the Shangfang Sword, and the King's Order Card as if I were here in person. As long as it is related to the battlefield of the Three Kingdoms, King An's power is unlimited.

He is going to the Gongdian's warehouse to pick up some ordnance, and he is going to the Gongdian to check the accounts. This is within his authority.

and…

The eyes of all the military officers gradually brightened.

They are officers of the military department, they are born as generals, and they are naturally in the opposite camp to the civil servants.

I had no chance to count these civil servants before. After all, behind all the civil servants in the dynasty, there was a big tiger named Gongyang Sanli. Because of Gongyang Sanli, the civil servants in the Manchu Dynasty were almost monolithic. If you touch one person, countless people will criticize him.

Generals are good at fighting and killing people, but asking them to reason in court, quarrel, or even use various laws and regulations to scheme against people and make things difficult for them is really not their specialty.

Therefore, in the face of a huge civil servant system, these big guys in the military have been suffering all the year round.

Alas, finally there is a tough guy who is going to take a stab at these fake gentlemen...

Moreover, it is this notorious guy, a guy who has nothing to do with today's general.

Haha, he wants to use the knife... These big men of the generals will naturally hand him the knife. Not only must they hand the knife, but also it is better to temper some poison on it, so that more civil servants can be killed. That would be the best. Yes.

The Military Yamen is located to the west of the imperial city. With an order from one side, tens of thousands of civilian officials rushed out of the Military Yamen over there.

The military system of the Qingqiu Divine Kingdom is extremely large. There are countless civil servants hidden in the bureaus such as the Qing Li Division, the Zhuan Lun Division, and the Transfer Division. They are also considered part of the military household. They are all ancestral officials who have handled various official documents for generations. Expert.

When it comes to making accounts, doing tricks, and getting benefits from the yamen, the skills of these clerks are not much worse than those of the civil servants.

After all, taking bribes and bending the law is just that, isn't it? We are all peers, who can hide from whom

"Come with me... Today, you will check the accounts carefully, carefully, seriously... I promise that after the deficiencies, loopholes, etc. found are recovered, half of them will be rewarded to you, and the other half will be given to you. I use it for military purposes."

Wu Tie rode on a tall horse and waved vigorously towards the military staff who stood densely in front of him.

These swordsmen and penmen, who were wearing green hats, black leather boots, hanging various small abacus on their waists, and holding various small notebooks in their hands, all had their eyes shining, and they all shouted, and followed Wu Tie toward the emperor in a mighty manner. He ran over to the government office area on the east side of the city.

The Gongdian Yamen is in that area.

Wu Tie continued to issue orders all the way, and one after another, there were brigade of guards, Qingqiu City's city defense troops, etc., marching to the Gongdian Hall in great numbers, and the entire Gongdian Yamen had three floors inside and three floors outside. surrounded by water.

Wu Tiecheng trotted all the way to the door of the Gongdian Hall. Seeing that the gate of the Gongdian Yamen was closed, he said nothing and casually struck out with the magic whip.

With a loud noise, the main entrance of the Gongdian Yamen was blown to pieces, and the formation restrictions that had been activated in the Gongdian were also smashed to pieces.

"Come in and grab the ledger... Whoever ordered the door to be closed and the formation restricted to be opened will be caught and chopped into pieces!"

Wu Tie's first order was so murderous.
