Chapter 212 Summoned overnight (third update)

Zu Dashou naturally knew the seriousness of the matter, and it was impossible to reveal what the emperor said to outsiders.Otherwise, if the civil servants were to find out, the one who would suffer the greatest loss would be a high-ranking military officer like him, who would have no chance of being promoted.

He stood on the edge of his seat, and said to Cao Wenzhao with a smile on his face: "As ordered by His Majesty, I will summon Deputy General Cao to meet in the back hall!"

When Cao Wenzhao heard this, he immediately stood up, feeling a little excited.It is an honor to be summoned by His Majesty alone!What's more, judging from Zu Dashou's situation, it might be a good thing.

Therefore, he didn't dare to delay, and under the envious eyes of the generals, he straightened his appearance and walked quickly to the apse.

Zu Dashou watched his back disappear at the gate of the palace, and then sat back to his seat, without looking at the other generals, just looked down at the table in front of him, and began to think about the news he heard just now.

Outside the capital city, when the low-ranking officers outside Tiananmen came back in line, the soldiers of the Jingying and Yumajian had already withdrawn from the camps of the various kings.Of course, except for Ma Shilong's camp.

So, to these junior officers, it felt like nothing was happening on the camp side.After entering the big camp, they dispersed separately, only to realize that something happened.

However, what happened to Ma Shilong's barracks has nothing to do with them!They had a lot of things to say in their hearts, and they even reached the point of passing messages to their subordinates while eating.

After those soldiers heard about the Daming Zhonglietang, it was a matter of their own interests, and immediately forgot what happened in Ma Shilong's barracks, and they were all immersed in the gossip about the Daming Zhonglietang.

Ma Shilong's servants like Xu Wenbo immediately realized something was wrong after entering the camp.Before they had time to feel what was wrong, they were urged by the captain of Jin Yiwei behind them, and came to the school field along the passage separated by the soldiers of the Beijing camp.

When they got here, they realized that there was actually a senior general sitting on the platform at that point.Xu Wenbo happened to recognize it, and was very surprised, why is Marshal Man in the camp?
He naturally didn't know that Man Gui was no longer the general of Datong, but was knighted and officially became the admiral of the Beijing camp. He was puzzled and could only stand up according to the order.

Man Gui also liked these low-level officers very much.He immediately repeated what he said before, that these low-level officers should also be included in the Beijing camp.

Xu Wenbo listened silently. He found out that the army he was in was annexed, and he didn't feel any disgust at all.If you think about it carefully, you can understand the reason.

If it was changed before yesterday, even if they entered the Beijing camp from the frontier army, there would not be much salary improvement for them.

At least one thing they know is that the Beijing camp has not fought all year round, and there is basically no difference between servants and ordinary soldiers in Ma Shilong's army. Be a horse.

Under such circumstances, if the present situation occurs, they may resist. This is exactly what Ma Shilong said in the Emperor's Palace at that time.

However, at this time, Xu Wenbo and the others changed their minds after learning about the Daming Loyalty Hall in Tiananmen Square.Originally, they were worried about their status as domestic slaves, but now that they had the opportunity, they were naturally moved.

Another point is that they feel that the emperor is far better than they imagined, and the Beijing camp will inevitably be different from before. They hope to see how far their future can be in the Beijing camp.

Man Gui did not expect that the recruitment of these low-level officers in Ma Shilong's family team would go so smoothly!When you think about it carefully, you can understand what factors are at play.

Wanting to understand this point, he couldn't help turning his head to look in the direction of the Forbidden City, once again admiring the emperor in his heart, that he managed to deal with a heavy-handed general in such a way without any accidents, what a marvel!
He looked up to see that it was getting late, so he went to see the eunuch Gao Shiyue, the eunuch who was in charge of the imperial horse supervisor at the top of Deshengmen in the capital.

On the Wuyingdian side, Cao Wenzhao waited until after dark before being released back to the front hall.At this time, the gate of the city was closed, and the emperor ordered them to rest in the city for one night, and then leave the city with the emperor in the morning.

Hu Guang was really tired today, and when he drove back to the harem, he almost didn't want to talk anymore.But tomorrow is New Year's Eve, and it is another important day. For him, it is destined to be a busy day.

However, he doesn't care about these.What he cares about is that there are nearly [-] King Qin's army outside the city, but he can't provide much supplies to reward them on New Year's Eve.The only thing that can be done is to reward the pitifully few supplies, and give them a bowl of chicken soup for the soul.The quality of this bowl of chicken soup for the soul depends on Hu Guang's own ability, and the effect may be completely different.

In addition to these, I also prepared another thing.Whether this thing can be implemented successfully is really very important.

Thinking of this, Hu Guang had no choice but to set up his study room again.Sure enough, a box with a small lock was placed on the imperial case.

He took out a key from his body, opened the lock and took out the contents.The top one was a memorial, he didn't care, put it aside first, and then carefully looked at the rest.

After reading it over and over again, Hu Guang couldn't help but nodded.Hu Zhengyan's craftsmanship is really not boastful. Who can imitate something of this level?After he had a solid idea in mind, he picked up the memorial and read it.

After a while, after reading it, he frowned and thought for a while, and immediately issued an order: "The first assistant Wen Tiren, the minister of household affairs Bi Ziyan, and the minister of rites Xu Guangqi have an audience!"

Fang Zhenghua, the eunuch serving beside him, was taken aback when he heard this, and quickly reminded in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the palace gate has been locked!"

After hearing this, Hu Guang couldn't help showing a wry smile, nodded and said, "I know, but I don't have time to wait for tomorrow! One hundred thousand troops outside the city means one hundred thousand mouths. Once the food with the army is used up, the capital doesn't have much leftover food for supply." They consume!"

Hearing this, Fang Zhenghua felt helpless, Daming was so poor!He didn't dare to delay any longer, and immediately sent someone to preach the decree.

Wen Tiren, Bi Ziyan and Xu Guangqi saw that it was dark, the palace gate was locked, and the emperor sent someone to summon them, so they didn't dare to neglect, and rushed to the palace with the angel.At the same time, I was puzzled, the emperor was in such a hurry, I don't know why!
Among them, because Wen Tiren knew a lot, and even thought a little bit more, he was afraid that something would happen to Ma Shilong's servants!
But when he saw the emperor and saw the emperor's calm face, he knew that he was wrong.So, just wait for the emperor to speak.
