"Enxiang, why don't you kill this kind of thief?" Li Rumei is a child after all, and she doesn't shy away from saying anything.
"Shut up, when will it be your turn for a kid like you to interrupt when En Xiang is talking!" Li Chengliang scolded his son.
The little guy closed his mouth angrily, but his eyes were full of fierceness, staring up and down at the prisoner.
Li Chengliang raised his hand to Wu Jieyi: "Enxiang, do you really want to let him go?"
Seeing that the situation was not good, the prisoner shouted: "Scholar Wu, Master Wu, you are a famous scholar all over the world, so you can't go back on your word."
Wu Jie smiled: "Of course what I said is true. If I say I'll let you go, I will definitely let you go. However, you are General Li's prisoner. Whether you let him go or not depends on General Li's will."
After saying that, he looked at Li Chengliang intently and said calmly: "General Li, can you let him go?"
Li Chengliang originally planned to agree to Wu Jie, but when he saw Wu Jie's calm expression, his heart trembled for no reason. Although his men had just killed two of King Jing's men in the chaos, it was obvious that these people were following Wu Jie, and there was inevitably no misunderstanding.
"I heard that King Jing and King Fuyu were fighting for the right to inherit the throne, and they were fighting to the point of becoming incompatible with each other.
On the surface, Wu Jie seems to have nothing to do with Prince Yu, but since King Jing sent so many people to track Wu Jie, is Enxiang also a member of Prince Yu's palace?
¡°In this case, it is very likely that I will be involved in a big political storm.
"And this kind of ** can easily kill tens of millions of people, and it's possible that everyone in the family will be included in it.
The meaning of Kan Enxiang is to recruit yourself intentionally.
But, can I get involved in this big thing?
Li Chengliang¡¯s face was filled with uncertainty, and his chest was so swollen that it was about to explode.
If it were me two years ago, I would probably have immediately released the captives. Pretend to know nothing. As for what will happen in the future. Who knows, just take it one step at a time.
But after these two years of experience, he suddenly matured.
Actually in real history. Li Chengliang also thoroughly understood the rules of the Ming Dynasty officialdom game during his tenure in Beijing, and only then did he transform from a warrior on the battlefield to a commander-in-chief. And military commanders are never political imbeciles.
Only for a moment. Li Chengliang immediately understood that since he was recommended by Wu Jie to become Shanxi Shuozhou's general, the word Wu Jie was engraved on his forehead, and Wu Jie was probably from Prince Yu's palace.
??In other words, he can no longer escape this battle for inheritance.
But so what if you can¡¯t escape, it may not be a great disaster.
Suddenly, Li Chengliang suddenly understood: A few days ago, I, Li Chengliang, was just a small officer who fell into the capital. It was like a piece of sand, and no one gave it a second glance. Just because of Enxiang's words, even the arrogant chief of staff was very polite to me. It's not because I, Li Chengliang, am anything special. In fact, there is the old man Eun Sang standing behind him. Your kindness to me is profound and profound. I guess he is useful to me, or he likes me. This is the support.
?????????? Actually, as the prime minister, he wants to employ people, and if he nods, there are many people lining up to come forward, what should I worry about?
Li Chengliang, Li Chengliang, you really think of yourself as a person. Enxiang handed over the prisoner to me because he wanted to see my attitude. He wanted to vote for me!
Thinking of this, Li Chengliang waved the knife in his hand and cut off the rope on the prisoner: "Let's go!"
Li Chengliang¡¯s sons shouted at the same time: ¡°Daddy!¡±
Li Chengliang waved his hand.
Wu Jie still touched the short beard on his upper lip calmly.
The prisoner was overjoyed, moved his hands and feet, shouted "Goodbye!" and rushed out the door.
At this moment, Li Chengliang stabbed forward with the knife in his hand, stabbing the man to the core.
"Ah!" The prisoner pretended not to be dead, vomiting blood from his mouth, and looked at Li Chengliang in disbelief: "Youyou don't mean what you say!"
Li Chengliang smiled ferociously: "I promised to let you go, and I have already let you go! However, if I let you go and then kill you, it seems that I haven't broken my promise, right?"
As he said that, he stirred the knife in his hand and the prisoner died immediately.
"Good!" Several of Li Chengliang's sons shouted good at the same time.
Wu Jie's heart trembled when he saw it. This Li Chengliang was indeed a man who could take things up and let them go. On the surface, he looked very ambitious and reckless, but he had a deep mind. It seemed that he had really experienced it and was not as stupid as the legend said. Gotta compare.
The key is that this method is bloody and cruel, which is completely different from Qi Jiguang's uprightness.
However, this is understandable. Otherwise, he would not be able to achieve the position of chief military officer of a town in the future; otherwise, the Li family would not be able to control the entire Liaodong military power for decades.
Extraordinary times call for extraordinary people, and having such a ferocious assistant can play a huge role in the future waves.
¡°It seems that supporting Li Chengliang is the right thing to do.
Who among the people who can leave their name in history is not a figure?
After kicking the body out, Li Chengliang bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I have obeyed my orders."
Wu Jie: "It's nothing. I have official duties today. I happened to be passing by here. Suddenly I remembered something and came to visit."
Li Chengliang saw that Wu Jie was dressed in casual clothes and thought to himself, how could Enxiang just happen to be passing by? He must have come here on purpose.
He was even more excited: "Thank you for your kindness, please give me your instructions."
Wu Jie looked at him and said, "Li Chengliang, judging from your family situation, do you plan to go to Shanxi to work?"
Li Chengliang: "In return for the favor, I plan to go to Shanxi after the Chinese New Year."
"No need to go." Wu Jie said calmly.
"Why don't you go again?" Li Rumei asked in shock: "Didn't we agree to go to Shanxi It would be good to go back to Liaodong. Did Enxiang ask me to wait to go back?"
Wu Jie waved his hand: "Li Chengliang, let me ask you, do you want to stay in the capital?"
Li Chengliang was secretly excited because he didn't want to stay in a prosperous place like the capital. But on the surface it was still calm: "I will go wherever my grace allows me to go."
"Okay." Wu Jie stroked his beard again and thought for a while: "I plan to let you stay in the capital and take up a modest position first."
When Wu Jie said this, he paused.
The hearts of the father and son of the Li family were in their throats, especially the sons of Li Chengliang, who thought that Wu Jie was going to give their father a high-ranking official. They all looked excited.
But what Wu Jie said next made Li Rusong and others feel cold.
Wu Jie: "There is still a shortage of replacement officers in Xiyuan. If you are willing, I will wait for a discussion and then issue the appointment letter. At dawn, we will select a few useful soldiers to take office."
Li Chengliang was shocked: "I sincerely obey the order of the Prime Minister, and I am willing to accept my humble position."
"Okay, it's settled. This official is indeed a bit young, and I have wronged you." After saying that, Wu Jie left happily.
Until Wu Jie disappeared, Li Chengliang maintained his respectful posture.
Li Rumei yelled: "Dad, I asked you to be a janitor to repay your kindness. Isn't this a bully? I said, let's go back to Liaodong. Anyway, dad, you have already assumed the military post. There is a governor With the help of the boss, I can find a good job after all."
"Yes, let's go back to Liaodong." Li Rubai also shouted.
Li Rusong is the eldest son. Older. He was also calmer than his brothers and didn't follow in the yelling. But there was a look of regret on his face: "Shanxi is so wonderful, why can't I go there?"
But Li Chengliang laughed loudly: "Okay, it's really great. You little kid with a yellow mouth, you know nothing, but this is a great blessing for our Li family."
This laughter seemed extremely joyful and complacent, making Li Rusong and others stunned.
Brothers, you look at me and I look at you, we all have confused faces.
After a long time, Li Rusong said: "Father, this official is only a sixth-grade officer, but you are a straight-ranked one. Besides, if you go to the local government and hold military power, wouldn't it be good to be a janitor?" With just a few attendants, how can you be as happy as serving as a general in a local place?"
Li Chengliang smiled and said: "You also have to look at who is guarding the door. Guarding the door for the emperor is something that others will never be able to do in their lifetime. You should be more mature after waiting. Think about it, what an important place the palace is. .You can freely enter and leave the palace. Although you have no power at hand, no one dares to look down on you."
As he spoke, he patiently explained it to his sons.
It turns out that the Ming Dynasty¡¯s palace security organization was large in scale and had a series of strict security rules and regulations to ensure the safety inside and outside the imperial city. The interior of the palace was heavily guarded.
In order to protect the safety of the palace in the Ming Dynasty, there were many guards inside and outside the imperial city, and the gates were strictly guarded. The imperial city was guarded by twenty guards including Banner, Kingo, and Yulin. Every day in the imperial city, the governor and one person from each of the thousands of households with swords would take turns to stay in the palace and order the sergeants of each gate. Later, the governor's mansion was designated as the governor's mansion, and the five mansions were ordered to be appointed as marquis and uncles, with one person taking turns to be on duty every night. Around the inner imperial cityThere are 100 generals sitting on watch, and 20 people take turns to watch every watch. There are eight patrol officers in the four gates, who patrol and inspect each other. Each time the seal-holding officer stamps his seal on the inspection book.
For such a large palace, there are only eight patrol officers responsible for inspections. Although the officers are small, they can come and go freely inside.
"Let alone Xiyuan, there is only one replacement officer in that place, and I am Li Chengliang." Li Chengliang said solemnly: "Can't you see that this day is about to change greatly, and Enxiang wants to make great use of my father and son? Once something happens inside, only us, father and son, can be used by Minister En."
As he spoke, his body began to tremble: "He is just a small general in Shanxi. He is really a favor. He even" He lowered his voice: "He even made great contributions to the noble man in the East Palace. , even if the host is shaken in the future, opening a mansion and building teeth will not be a dream."
¡°Open a government office, build a government office, and get a second-rank official position!¡± The sons all screamed, their eyes shining brightly.
Li Rumei: "Well done, if our Li family really has that kind of glory, even death will be worth it."
The more Li Chengliang talked, the more excited he became: "My father and I have been entrusted with such a huge fortune by our grace. If God doesn't take it, I will be blamed for it. However, this journey will be full of difficulties and dangers, and there may even be accidents." I just want to ask you, do you want to do it or not?"
"If there is a threat, my sons are not afraid." Li Rusong said: "Father, I think that the Li family has been able to fight until now only by killing each other with swords and guns on the battlefield. I don't know how much enemy's blood I have on hand. We have come to this point. If I wait until the day when my father opens a government office, I don¡¯t know how many hardships and dangers I will have to go through. If the sword has no eyes, it may not be wrapped in horse leather, but I, the man of the Li family, am not afraid of death."
"Yes, don't be afraid!" everyone said one after another.
Li Chengliang: "Okay, that's it, pack up and prepare to go to Xiyuan as a gatekeeper. When the time comes, everyone will just listen to you."
