17 The decree arrives
The angels could not wait for a long time, and soon, all the generals arrived. When they saw Yang Tinglin in a mess, they couldn't help but be a little surprised. Unexpectedly, the civil servant came again. It was probably the time when Mr. Lu was in a very critical position, and he came to the director to ask for a meeting with a stern face. It seemed that the director had not seen him again, and he was futile!
The recent war has not gone well. The Qing army has captured cities and plundered the land. The angels have arrived again. I am afraid that the emperor will be furious and have to deal with people again. If nothing unexpected happens, Lu Xiangsheng will definitely be dealt with. The last time he was demoted to the Minister of War. I wonder if it was demoted or punished this time?
This Yang Tinglin acted like this and stubbornly wore a pair of pants with Lu Xiangsheng. Maybe he would be involved!
Thinking of this, none of the generals who came to greet Yang Tinglin were going to greet Yang Tinglin, and they were far away from Yang Tinglin at the same time, keeping a distance, for fear of being hated by Director Gao.
At this moment, a sudden surprise voice sounded: "Master Yang, how is my master?"
When Yang Tinglin heard the sound, he saw that he was a guerrilla Lu Da.
Lu Xiangsheng formed an army near Daming Prefecture. The soldiers were mainly relatives, friends, neighbors and neighbors, and knew each other, so they could fight together. In the late Ming Dynasty, there was also a name called "Tianxiong Army". This army was not large in number, only about 5,000, and was the leader of the servant, Commander Lu, and his position was just a mere guerrilla.
Based on this army, Lu Xiangsheng mobilized cavalry from various armies to fight south and north, and gained a reputation. But behind this reputation, Lu Da was only about 3,000 people left. In this way, Gao Qiqian was transferred from Lu Xiangsheng. Therefore, Lu Da appeared here instead of Lu Xiangsheng.
Yang Tinglin naturally recognized Lu Da, and was overjoyed when he saw it. Then he hurriedly stepped forward and held his hand, and said hurriedly: "Mr. Lu and the Qing army encountered each other at Haoshui Bridge. They won the first battle, but the Qing army was too many, and they are now surrounded. I came to ask for reinforcements, but the director avoided it..."
Lu Dayi was shocked when he heard this and hurriedly said, "The Director will receive the order later and will definitely see you. Please ask the Director to send troops to rescue quickly!"
He has been excluded and he doesn't even know that Yang Tinglin has been here during the day.
When the generals around him heard this, they were all amused. If the director wanted to save Mr. Lu, he would send troops during the day and would not cut off the food and supplies of Mr. Lu's troops. What's more, if the envoy has arrived today, he might even be punished. In short, Mr. Lu is probably dead this time!
Before Yang Tinglin answered, he suddenly saw Gao Qiqian coming out at once, and hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, regardless of whether he was an angel or an angel, and said loudly: "Director Gao, Minister Lu, the Minister of the Qing army, held the Qing army at Haoshui Bridge, and won the first battle. I also asked Director Gao to send troops quickly and fight the Qing army with the Qing army!"
"The last general is willing to lead our troops to rescue the vanguard overnight!" Lu Da also hurriedly stepped forward and clasped his fists and said loudly.
Gao Qiqian heard this and sneered, and said in a dark voice: "Didn't you curse yourself very well? Why, now you are here to beg for our family? Humph! If you have arrived today, you will have your heart to die!"
After a heavy hum, he bypassed Yang Tinglin and immediately ordered: "Please angels to announce the order!"
Yang Tinglin was furious when he heard this. He stepped forward and wanted to raise Qian's sleeves to argue, but at this time the Jinyi Guard stepped out with the angel.
Seeing this, everyone immediately stepped forward to listen to the order. Yang Tinglin had no choice but to listen to the order first. At the same time, he made up his mind that no matter what the imperial edict was, when he saw Gao Qiqian this time, even if he sacrificed his life, he would have to force him to agree to send troops.
The Angel is an official of the Tongzheng Department, and it is obvious that this decree is a serious imperial edict.
Gao Qiqian understood in his heart that with Yang Sichang in the court, this decree would not have any good things for Lu Xiangsheng!
"The Emperor Fengtian Chengyun... was promoted to the Minister of War, commanding the troops of the world, and the Director Gao Qiqian cooperated with him. The Secretary Lu's power to command warfare shall not be subject to any constraints..."
Hearing the ups and downs, almost everyone in the lobby was stunned. Including Gao Qiqian, no one expected that this imperial edict would re-election Lu Xiang to the Minister of War, and it was also clear that Gao Qiqian could not interfere with Lu Xiangsheng's command and combat power.
What's going on? The emperor obviously wanted to negotiate peace! And he had already dealt with Lu Xiangsheng for this, so why did he suddenly reuse Lu Xiangsheng? Gao Qiqian was confused and looked shocked on his face, and he couldn't figure it out no matter how he thought about it. So much so that the angel had to say twice in a row, "Director Gao, please accept the order."
Gao Qiqian was a little confused when he received the imperial edict. How could this happen? It shouldn't be! The emperor promoted Lu Xiang before, but in fact he should have given up Lu Xiangsheng! But why, why did he promote him again?
I really couldn't understand it, and the emperor's decree made Gao Qiqian feel worried. He suddenly thought of something, and he seemed to have grabbed a life-saving straw. He quickly took a few steps forward, approached the angel to send the order and asked in a low voice: "Does Yanggemen know this decree?"
Although his voice was very low, the lobby was silent at this time, and everyone was pricking his ears. Therefore, many people heard it. They immediately understood that Gao Qiqian had the intention of asking this, and he was afraid that someone in the court had bypassed the old master Yang Sichang, who was in charge of military affairs, and told the emperor that he had such an abnormal order.
Yang Tinglin was originally overjoyed, but the emperor was wise, and finally knew that the most correct thing in front of him was to value Mr. Lu, no, it was Mr. Lu.
But he had time to make a statement and quickly sent troops to rescue Shangshu Lu, when he heard Gao Qiqian's question. He was stunned and then scared for no reason. It seemed that this was true. Yang Sichang knew whether he knew this will would have a great impact on the implementation of this will.
In his opinion, if Yang Sichang knew, he would not have let the emperor issue such an order. Because he should not be too clear about what Yang Sichang planned. Before, he was impeached Yang Sichang for peace talks that he was sent to Lu Xiangsheng's army.
Thinking of this, he was afraid that after Gao Qiqian figured out this point, he would be slandered. As long as he delayed the time, Shangshu Lu would probably die in battle!
So, just as he was about to speak, he saw the angel nodding and said, "This decree was written by Yang Gemen!"
As soon as he said this, everyone in the lobby was stunned again.
Everyone knows that Yang Sichang has the heart to be at peace, and has long been torn apart with Lu Xiangsheng, who is determined to fight. How could Yang Sichang draw up the order?
Gao Qiqian was stunned again and frowned, unable to figure out what was going on. It was obvious that when he had secretly discussed with Yang Sichang several times, Yang Sichang was determined to follow the path of peace talks. How could he have drawn up such a decree!
As the confidant of today's son, Gao Qiqian also knew that the emperor had been thieves at home, the Qing Dynasty and Mongolian Tartars outside the pass, so he had no temper at all. Therefore, Yang Sichang, who proposed a peace proposal, was promoted to the auxiliary minister of the cabinet in a short time.
In this case, why, why did you have such a decree to yourself?
Although Gao Qiqian couldn't figure it out, he knew one thing, and the angel who sent the order would not lie.
He was still thinking about this, but Yang Tinglin could no longer help it and shouted loudly: "Director Gao, the emperor has already made an order, so please send troops to rescue Shangshu Lu!"
When he heard this and heard the words "Send troops to rescue quickly", Gao Qiqian suddenly realized it. He felt that he had figured out the key to this will.
Yang Sichang must have known that Lu Xiangsheng is in danger, so he made a favor and did not criticize him for this, so he pretended to be a good person and drafted such an imperial edict. As long as he rescued him a little late, with the 5,000 troops in Lu Xiangsheng's hands, he would not be a match for the 100,000 Qing army, and would definitely be killed.
After thinking of this, Gao Qiqian suddenly thought deeply again. Maybe it was the emperor's intention! The emperor also wanted to be shameless. He did not want to bear the infamous reputation of later generations, so he instructed Yang Sichang to issue such an order. As long as he made excuses to delay a little time, Lu Xiangsheng would undoubtedly die! In this way, the emperor and Yang Gemen all had their face and could also get rid of the stumbling block of Lu Xiangsheng.
