Chapter 52: The decree arrives

Prince Luo Keduo, Duluoping, has been very annoyed recently.

After the Battle of Mopanshan, the Qing army suffered too much losses. Luo Keduo, a leader of the Eight Banners, was severely scolded and even fined 4,000 taels of silver.

This is the second highest fine of silver penalties since the Qing Dynasty entered the pass.

The first one is Duni, the Duelak Prince of Doroxin, who led the army with him back then...

During the Battle of Kuidong, Luo Keduo was well-organized, so he regained his favor and was appointed as the leader of the Qing army in Huguang and became the garrison general of the Qing army in Sichuan.

The garrison was placed in Jingzhou.

Of course, anyone with a discerning eye knows that Luo Keduo's temporary garrison general was guarding against the resurrection of the remnants of the Dashun Army in Kuidong.

Although Li Laiheng was dead, the last established army of the Daxi Army disappeared into the fires in Maolu Mountain. However, the Daxi Army was a powerful army after all, and although the remaining troops were scattered among the people, they naturally would not give up.

The court all understood that if the remaining people of the Daxi Army did not rebel in Kuidong, they would inevitably flee into Sichuan and deceive the local chieftains into rebelling.

There are three roads to enter Sichuan in the world, the most convenient way to enter Sichuan in Hanzhong, and the longest to enter Sichuan in Guizhou. The most dangerous one is to pass through Kuidong and Zigui.

Therefore, Luo Keduo became the general of Huguang's defense, and even managed the Qing army in Sichuan.

Recently, his subordinates have found that remnants of the Daxi Army have entered Sichuan, and it seems that they are in contact with Dajinchuan.

Luo Keduo originally wanted to wait for them to gather together and then capture them in one go. Who would have thought that something happened in the north at this critical moment!

"Zhubutai grew up eating shit!"

Luo Keduo was furious and couldn't help but swear.

"Master, please calm down. Zhu Sanwei is too insidious. Master, have you forgotten that Zhu San was in the capital two years ago..."

The Baoyi Juncai and Shunlai lowered his voice.

Luo Keduo was stunned and then smiled bitterly.

Standing in his position, we can naturally see who is the one who benefited the most from Zhuobutai's defeat.

Their royal family was so anxious that Oboi was forced to do so!

Didn’t his brother give him a handle on dealing with Oboi this time?

At this moment, a disciple suddenly came hurriedly: "Master, the imperial court sent an envoy, saying that he had an order to issue it to theMaster."

"Burn incense! Let the servants prepare to take a shower!"

Luo Keduo did not dare to neglect, so he hurriedly ordered, and then whispered: "Where did it come from?"

The menzi replied: "Master, it was sent by the Empress Dowager. The eunuch in charge said that this was the will of the central palace."

Luo Keduo smiled at the corner of his mouth.

It didn't pass by Oboi!

This shows that the Empress Dowager won a game back in Zhuobutai’s defeat!

In this way, Zhuobutai has done a good thing.

"Where are people?" Luo Keduo asked

The gate hurriedly said, "Master, I have arranged for tea in the vestibule."

The servants were busy burning incense and preparing hot water, but Luo Keduo bounced the dust that did not exist on his body and walked to the vestibule with He Shun.

It is necessary to burn incense, as for bathing...

Just behave like this. Can you really let the Zhongjun wait for half an hour and wait for him to clean himself?

Isn’t this waiting to be cleaned and slaughtered?

In the vestyard, several eunuchs were waiting in the vestyard under the escort of Lang Wei.

The eunuch who was leading the way was the old man next to the Empress Dowager, whose surname was Liu.

"Oh, it turns out it's Eunuch Liu, Xiao Wang is polite here." Luo Keduo nodded with a smile.

Although he is a prince, he is one of the highest-ranking people besides the prince.

However, in front of the envoy of the Central Palace, he really did not dare to offend him rashly.

Even though he held the eight thousand army in his hand and was in charge of the huge Sichuan Tianfu, under the Qing Dynasty, these princes were just higher-level slaves.

(After Yongzheng set up the Military Affairs Office, even the prince would kneel down to record when the emperor was speaking.)

Taking advantage of the verge of handover, Luo Keduo handed over a stack of paper.

Eunuch Liu curled his lips and stuffed the object into his cuffs without moving.

Eunuch Liu reached out to take out the bright yellow imperial edict from his cuff, but glanced at the paper that Luo Keduo stuffed to him.

It turned out to be a stack of silver notes, but it seemed to be a large deposit of 500 taels per piece.

He pinched his cuffs slightly and found that there were about a dozen of these silver notes.

It turns out that he is a fat man! Eunuch Liu sighed and opened his eyes, and he narrowed his smile.

"Lo Keduo, the prince of Duoloping, received the order!"

He put the silver notes into his sleeve bag and spoke.

"Slave Luo Keduo is here!"

Luo Keduo hurriedly patted the horse's sleeves, and after speaking, he blinked at Eunuch Liu.

Eunuch Liu smiled and said nothing, but his feet stomped on the ground slightly.

Luo Keduo, who was kneeling on the ground, as if he was about to give the eunuch a verbal job, suddenly became happy.

It turns out that I want to be promoted!

Although the eunuchs could not reveal the content of the imperial edict in advance when promulgating the imperial edict, they also had other solutions.

The eunuchs who went out to announce the edict were accompanied by more than a dozen people. Among these people, no one could tell whether there would be someone who monitored him. Therefore, even when proclaiming the eunuchs to "his own people", the eunuchs would not disclose the content of the eunuchs in advance.

However, rules are dead, but people live.

As long as the money is in place, the eunuch will immediately treat you as his "personal person" and then use some small actions to remind you.

"In accordance with the heavens, the emperor ordered: Luo Keduo, the prince of Duluoping, was loyal and patriotic. He first suppressed the rebellion in the southwest, and then suppressed bandits in Kuidong. He even kept his heart in the confidant for Sheng Qing'an. He worked hard for more than ten years... Now Luo Keduo, the prince of Duluoping in Jin, is the prince of Duluoping, so don't expect the prince to be loyal and loyal to the country..."

Luo Keduo was overjoyed!

It turned out to be the edict of the promotion of the prince!

OMG!

He, a distant sect, could he be promoted to prince?

Oh my God, is this a pie falling from the sky?

He actually became a prince?

"Prince Duoloping, haven't you accepted the order?" Eunuch Liu smiled so hard that he could not see his eyes.

Promoted!

After this promotion, how can you stop giving away a "hard work fee"?

If there is no such thing, he will ask for another silver wherever he goes!

"Slave Luo Keduo received the order, long live my emperor!"

After Luo Keduo knelt three times and kowtowed nine times, he stood up and answered the order.

He quietly sent a stack of silver notes again, and then whispered: "Eunuch Liu, I don't know why the court was promoted to me?"

"Oh my prince, you are far away, the news is spreading slowly!"

Eunuch Liu pinched the "lucky hardship" that was twice as thick as before, and explained with a smile: "The Empress Dowager has issued an imperial edict, and most of the princes in the court have been promoted to princes!"

"That's not all. The Beizi men in the court all had all been granted the title of Beile, and the Beile men had all been granted the title of Prince. As for the remaining states, the generals of the auxiliary state, the eight-pointers had two levels of Jin, which was not as good as the eight-pointers had one level of Jin..."

Luo Keduo's face was still very excited just now, and he suddenly felt like he had eaten a fly.

He understood the Queen Mother's operation.

In the month before yesterday, didn’t Oboi force Xiaozhuang to be named the prince of the county!

Well, Xiaozhuang has directly raised everyone by one level, and even those with eight points are raised by two levels.

In this way, hundreds of additional princes, princes, and Oboi's title will naturally be worthless!
