Chapter 832 Take it as a warning

It was spring when I went out of the frontier. More than two months passed and midsummer was already in full swing.

The prairie is endless and the sun is sunken without any obstacles. It is undoubtedly a torment for the marching people, but the cavalry slowly moving forward are all elites from a hundred miles away. Such veterans as them are not unbearable for marching.

After leaving in the morning for a whole day, I finally saw a forest in the evening. It was not big and the trees were not lush, but it was indeed a good place to camp, at least a little hidden. Although the war on the prairie stopped, there were also many more thieves and rioters. Although these hundreds of elite soldiers had amazing combat power, unnecessary troubles could still be avoided.

The team went straight into the forest. After the Blood Rider and Four Tigers arranged the Rangers and Scouts, they brought people to build a tent. After entering the forest, Li Xian realized that the word "times changed" really makes sense. He thought he remembered everything on the grassland, no matter how big or small.

But in his memory, he really had no impression of this forest, the grassland did not change, it was him who changed.

I thought I had remembered something, but ten years later, I had already realized that I had never forgotten the past. But when I really walked it over again, I realized that I did not remember everything. And I realized that I had not remembered everything after I walked it, and I missed a lot of scenery at the beginning. People liked memories, but rarely thought that memories had already become blurred inadvertently.

Li Xian helped Daxi Changru get off the carriage, glanced at the surrounding environment, and couldn't help but shake his head: "This forest is too small, there may not be any wild game. I will walk around for a while, if I can't hunt anything, I will have to eat dry food tonight."

Ye Huaixue chuckled softly, pointed in one direction and said, "If that small tribe had not migrated, you can see a camp in more than ten or twenty miles there. It is a rare tribe on the grassland that does not like to migrate casually, and I don't know if it was destroyed by war. If it is still there, you can buy some sheep and come back."

"I don't remember this forest, nor do I remember such a small tribe."

Li Xian frowned slightly and said.

Ye Huaixue sorted out his long hair that was blown by the wind and said softly: "Women's memories are always deeper than men, and at that time you were thinking about other things. How could you deliberately remember a place that has nothing to do with you? This place is not far from the thatched cottage I built, so I naturally remember it more clearly than you."

Li Xian was silent.

"I'll go."

Tie Yaolang said, "My lord, you can rest for a while, it won't take long to travel back and forth for twenty or thirty miles. You will definitely be able to come back before the moon rises."

Li Xian nodded and said caution, then helped Daxi Changru find a place to rest. Tie Liaolang and Chao Qiuge and others greeted more than a dozen soldiers, and brought some Shu brocade and tea that they had prepared specially to go towards the direction of the small tribe. After a year of war, the probability that the small tribe would still remain unmoved.

"There is no big deal in the court that distracts you, right?"

Daxi Changru sat down on a stone and looked at Li Xian and asked.

"No."

Li Xian smiled, pulled out the plug of the water bag and handed it to Daxi Changru: "But they are all trivial matters, nothing important."

Zhang Zhongjian sat down next to him, took a sip of wine and said, "No matter whether there is anything or not, this trip will have to be completed before you can go back, right? Just enjoy the scenery peacefully. An Zhi is no longer the reckless child back then. He can handle it, otherwise he would not accompany you to relax."

Daxi Changru laughed: "That's right. He clearly has no ability to do something, but he is always used to thinking about worrying more like this. The older he gets, the more greedy he gets...haha."

"I am the only way to sleep besides enjoying my happiness. You should learn like me!"

Zhang Zhongjian gave him a blank look and continued, "An Zhi has a great saying... There are talented people in the country and have led the way for hundreds of years. The era that belongs to you and me has been created by the past. Now is the era of An Zhi. Or what he said just now, he knows the priorities. If he is not sure, how could he come out and ignore the government?"

Daxi Changru smiled and said, "But in recent days, I found that there were more and more memorials sent by secret spies, especially last night. I was not idle all night, and there were twelve memorials sent over. If something urgent happened, how could the secret spies come so intensively?"

Zhang Zhongjian was stunned when he heard this, and couldn't help looking at Li Xian and asked, "What a big deal is there?"

Li Xian took the wine bag from Zhang Zhongjian and took a sip, wiped the corner of his mouth and said in a plain tone: "Two things, one good thing, and the other good thing... But the second good thing is not very happy."

"The first thing is that the cavalry of Tieler was blocked by Chen Querlaiyuan's navy and Qin Qiong's Qilu camp troops on the bank of the Yellow River. Many people in the grassland died of illness these days, and the morale of the army was disintegrated. After a few days, Tieler people were defeated for thousands of miles. The life and death of Jamukha was unknown, and the 200,000 cavalry of Tieler people could no longer pose a threat."

"This is indeed a good thing."

Zhang Zhongjian nodded and asked, "What is the second good thing that makes people not happy?"

Li Xian was silent for a while and replied: "Before going out of the frontier, I sent Luo Shixin and Pei Xingyan to drive 30,000 cavalry, and claimed to the army that they were going to assist Qin Qiong in siege and kill Jamuha. But not... they did not go to Dongping County, but returned to Chang'an."

...

...

When Luo Shixin and Pei Xingyan were not in Chang'an City, Du Ruhui had never worried about anything. Because there was Cheng Mingzhen in the city, plotting against rebellion without military power was just a joke. Even if there was a so-called emperor to make a gimmick, even if there were several wealthy families supporting him behind his back, this was still a joke. As long as Cheng Mingzhen was not pulled over by those who were preparing to plot against rebellion, even if there were no ups and downs in Chang'an City, he would not be worried that he would not be able to sleep.

When Luo Shixin and Pei Xingyan's 30,000 elite cavalry suddenly appeared outside Chang'an City, Du Ruhui knew that it was time to end the farce.

His Highness King Yan sent him back in advance without any order, and Luo Shixin and Pei Xingyan had never had any contact with him before. The 30,000 elite cavalry came back suddenly. Because of this abruptness, Du Ruhui knew what he should do and what His Highness King Yan meant.

So, just as the news that 30,000 elite cavalry appeared outside the city reached Du Ruhui's ears, he immediately made a decision.

He immediately left the yamen and got on the carriage and told the driver to drive as fast as possible. The carriage ran around half of the palace city and then went directly to the Daming Palace, and then went directly to the North Yai of the Military Record Office. Not long after he arrived at the North Ya, at least a dozen important officials of the court also arrived here one after another. Du Ruhui and they had no discussions. They all made the decision immediately after they knew that the Jingqi returned to the city.

The court officials who came, including Wei Zheng, the imperial envoy Wei, and the important officials of the court who returned without success, such as Fang Xuanling, Tang Jian, Pei Caozhi, and even Yu Shinan and Liu Zhenghui, who were already idle at home. Half an hour later, most of the officials of the six ministries and nine ministers arrived at the Northern Yamen, as if all the ministries and yamen in Chang'an City had moved to this large courtyard.

When Du Ruhui saw Liu Zhenghui, he couldn't help but smile: "Why are you here too, sir?"

Liu Zhenghui looked at the officials on both sides, shrewd and lowered his voice, "Although I am old, I am not confused yet... Some people forgot the day and night that the Military Archives and the Military Archives had bloody slaughtered Chang'an City a few years ago, but I haven't forgotten it yet. So when I have something, I dare not go anywhere else. Instead, I feel that I will come to the Military Archives first to be safe. Those who dare to come to this place at least have no guilt."

"Ha ha!"

Du Ruhui couldn't help laughing: "I thought I was the only one who thought about this time. It turned out that everyone was smart. Since we have arrived, let's go in and ask the people from the Military Academy for a cup of tea?"

Liu Zhenghui smiled and said, "There are few people who are willing to drink the tea from the Military Academy and few people dare to drink it. Anyone who is invited in to drink tea by the Military Academy will be afraid that he will feel upset. But today is different, this tea is safe to drink."

Everyone entered the yard and directly occupied the living room of the North Ya of the Military Academy.

At this time, Xie Yingdeng and Shengtu Xiaohua were discussing affairs in a small courtyard about 200 meters away from the living room. The courtyard was not big, and there was not much room for planting a wintersweet tree. Xie Yingdeng sat on the chair in the head, and in front of him were all the stalls of the Sixth Department of the Military Archives Department who were in charge of daily affairs. Because there were many people, several people even stood at the door.

Xie Yingdeng's eyes swept across everyone's faces, then raised his hand and pressed down: "There are not many people in the Military Academy who know that I have returned to Chang'an City a long time ago. Most of you don't know. I think you can understand the meaning of it, don't blame me."

"Please give me instructions!"

Dozens of people clasped their fists and bowed their heads.

Xie Yingdeng nodded, pondered for a while and said, "When Ye Datou was in office, the Military Bureau did a major event that shocked the world. Most of you were involved in that matter. I believe you still clearly remember what happened that day."

He paused and said, "To summon you today, there is also a big thing to do. If it is in the sense that this matter may be comparable to the one directed by Ye Dazhao."

The people below were immediately shocked and understood the meaning of Xie Yingdeng's words.

“It’s time.”

Xie Yingdeng stood up and slowly glanced over these subordinates: "Our Military Audit Office has done many things that are beneficial to the court, but in the end it is still for the lord. Ye Datou washed Chang'an City for his lord... Today I will take you with me and wash it again."

...

...

At Chengmenlou Mountain, the deputy general looked at the 30,000 elite cavalry who were waiting for the city, with a look of ugly expression. He walked to Cheng Mingzhen and couldn't help but worry, "I don't know now, what is the purpose of the people outside the city? Is it the order of the lord, or the people who colluded with those who plotted against each other?"

Cheng Mingzhen looked at the waving cavalry outside the city and said with a smile: "If it were the soldiers of the treacherous people, do you think they would be lined up outside the city?"

The deputy general was stunned and then understood: "They will rush straight to the city gate."

After thinking about it, he asked, "General, what should we do?"

Cheng Mingzhen laughed and said, "Do nothing do it. These tens of thousands of elite cavalry come back to the scene. We just need to guard the city gate and not release one person. As for other matters, if the military needs to take action, the cavalry outside will have sent people to find me. It seems that the lord wants to... let the Military Audit Office establish his authority again."

Outside the city

Pei Xingyan looked at Luo Shixin and asked seriously: "Is it really necessary for us to enter the city?"

Luo Shixin jumped off the horse's back and found a clean place to sit on the ground: "If the city gate is not closed, we don't need to enter the city. If the city gate is closed, we can't enter the city."

Pei Xingyan felt that Luo Shixin's words were not understood in the first half, and the second half was nonsense.

"Don't worry, when we appeared outside Chang'an City, we were afraid that the people from the Military Audit Office would have already started to move."

Pei Xingyan thought about it and asked again: "Will this make the Military Audit Office establish its reputation again?"

Luo Shixin smiled and said, "What the lord wants is that the Military Audit Office will do something that scares everyone again. Only in this way can people remember what the Military Audit Office does. Only in this way can they remember what the Military Audit Office does. As long as the Military Audit Office exists for one day, those who have ghosts in their hearts will be afraid of trembling. People may forget the blood sweep once, but they will wash twice... who dares to forget the existence of the Military Audit Office?"

"The lord asked the Military Audit Office to launch a massacre for the second time, not to scare people now, but to shock people later... Do you understand?"

Pei Xing seemed to understand but didn't understand, and shook his head impatiently: "Don't worry, it's better to kill them all!"

Luo Shixin sighed helplessly, and also envied Pei Xingyan's heartless nature.

He looked at the city tower and couldn't help but sigh: "After today, when people mention the Military Archives again, they will definitely think of the blood stains all over the city twice. The lord did this... It has a deep meaning. It should be taken as a warning... It is a warning."
