Killing System, the Ultimate Killer
Chapter 61: General of the Cavalry (1/2)
The news that the empress ascended the throne quickly spread throughout the Wei Dynasty.
Everyone knew that this would open a new chapter.
The storm in Luojing, Wei Dynasty, did not have much impact on the northwest frontier. It was just a change of emperor.
For the people in the frontier, it didn't matter who was the emperor. It had little impact on their lives.
Sheng Huaian trained soldiers in Hexi County for a month.
The court did not send a new lieutenant to guard Hexi County, and there was no military order from Anning Pass to let him go back.
In the northwest frontier, frost can be seen every morning in winter, and it snows from time to time, for several days at a time.
"General Sheng, my master invites you to cook wine." The servant next to County Magistrate Chen came to the barracks to convey County Magistrate Chen's invitation.
"Is your master so idle?" Sheng Huaian sighed. This county magistrate is really leisurely.
Unlike him, he either practices or trains soldiers every day.
The servant smiled. General Sheng complained about his master, but he didn't dare to answer.
Arriving at the county magistrate's mansion, by the pond pavilion in the back garden.
The snow covered the stone rockery, and County Magistrate Chen was wearing a black coat, cooking wine and enjoying the snow.
"Brother Chen is quite elegant, cooking wine and enjoying the snow all day long." Sheng Huaian said from a distance.
"General Sheng, are you mocking Chen? I'm just taking a break from my busy schedule." County Magistrate Chen said with a smile.
Sheng Huaian walked into the pavilion and sat down opposite County Magistrate Chen.
"Tell me, you asked me to come here. Don't you want to go to Yanliu Tower again tonight?" Sheng Huaian picked up the warmed wine and tasted it.
These days, he was begged by County Magistrate Chen to go to Yanliu Tower several times, just to see Fairy Qin Yao.
Sheng Huaian was speechless because this guy couldn't get food every time he went there, and he always wanted to see Fairy Qin Yao.
It was like he was bewitched.
"What does General Sheng think Chen is?" County Magistrate Chen said righteously.
"Doglicker!" Sheng Huaian said lightly.
Fairy Qin Yao was also very capable, and she fascinated people like County Magistrate Chen, but he kept his distance from that woman.
"General Sheng always talks about doglickers, what is this doglicker?" County Magistrate Chen asked curiously.
"It is a beautiful thing, praising your noble character." Sheng Huaian's eyes were clear and he said it formally.
"Well, doglicker is not bad!" County Magistrate Chen smiled happily and nodded.
Sheng Huaian: ...
"Tell me, what's the matter with calling me here today."
The two of them got familiar with each other, so they became casual.
"Does General Sheng know about the affairs of Luojing, the Great Wei?" County Magistrate Chen put down his wine glass and looked at Sheng Huaian.
"How would I know? I've been training soldiers in the barracks all day, and I don't have any familiar friends in Luojing." Sheng Huaian held the wine glass in his hand. Luojing, the Great Wei, was a very distant thing for him.
"Emperor Ming died, the prince seized the throne, and the new emperor was established!" County Magistrate Chen said with a serious look.
"Oh?"
Sheng Huaian narrowed his eyes. Did the old emperor die?
"Who is the new emperor?" Sheng Huaian put down his wine glass and asked.
After all, he is now working for the Wei Dynasty. He still has to get to know his boss.
"Guess!" County Magistrate Chen said mysteriously.
"Guess, I guess, you guess, I guess or not!"
Sheng Huaian rolled his eyes at County Magistrate Chen. He was so old, but he was still playing such a lousy joke.
Chen County Magistrate almost choked to death with his saliva. He wanted Sheng Huaian to guess who would ascend the throne, but Sheng Huaian played a tongue twister with him.
"Are you really not curious about which prince will ascend the throne?" County Magistrate Chen looked at Sheng Huaian speechlessly, and saw that Sheng Huaian didn't seem to be very interested in who would be the emperor.
"Whoever becomes the emperor doesn't need us to wear clothes and eat. The emperor is far away, and the emperor doesn't bother to care about border affairs." Sheng Huaian doesn't care which prince becomes the emperor.
It's not him who will be the emperor anyway, so why should he care?
He just wanted to kill enemies and become stronger. When he became a martial saint, what would the emperor do? When the time comes, the emperor will have to pay respect to him.
County Magistrate Chen had no idea that Sheng Huaian didn't have much respect for the emperor.
"I really admire you." County Magistrate Chen's little thoughts were not satisfied.
"It's not the prince who ascended the throne, but the seventh princess Han Jiangxue." Seeing that Sheng Huaian didn't guess, County Magistrate Chen had to say it.
"What?"
"Seventh Princess Han Jiangxue?" Sheng Huaian was very surprised.
A female emperor?
This is a world where the strong are respected and men are respected. Can those court officials agree to a woman becoming an emperor?
Seeing Sheng Huaian's surprised expression, County Magistrate Chen felt relieved.
"How is it, are you surprised?"
"When I received the news, I also felt incredible." County Magistrate Chen racked his brains, but he couldn't think that the one who ascended the throne was the unknown seventh princess.
"It's really surprising." Sheng Huaian nodded.
"The first female emperor in history appeared in the Dali Dynasty five hundred years ago." County Magistrate Chen said with emotion.
Now, the Great Wei has also produced a female emperor.
County Magistrate Chen told Sheng Huaian what happened in Luojing, the Great Wei, in the past month. Sheng Huaian also felt that this royal seizure of the throne could be made into a tortuous large-scale TV series.
"This time, more than a dozen master generals were imprisoned and beheaded, and Li Hou was also implicated. It is estimated that he will be exiled to the southwest border to resist the demon tribe." County Magistrate Chen sighed.
The royal seizure of the throne has always been cruel. If you are involved in it, you will be crushed to pieces if you are not careful.
"If so many masters were sent to the border to defend against the enemy, the three states of Yan and Qi would not fall." Sheng Huaian said.
County Magistrate Chen agreed with Sheng Huaian's words. Hexi County was originally the northwest border, but there was no master guarding it. The Rongdi tribe came and went as they pleased. Hexi County was often invaded by the Rongdi tribe, and the people lived in insecurity.
The two chatted about what happened in Luojing, and Sheng Huaian also got to know Luojing a little.
......
In the Zhenghe Hall of the Imperial Palace in Luojing, Wei Dynasty, the empress Han Jiangxue was handling government affairs. These days, there were endless government affairs to handle every day.
Emperor Ming was old, and many government affairs were piled up. The second prince Han Feiyu was the regent, and he was only concerned with fighting with other princes. Government affairs also piled up. When they fell into Han Jiangxue's hands, they piled up like a mountain.
Han Jiangxue reviewed the memorial in his hand and moved his wrist.
The maid next to him handed over a cup of spiritual tea.
"Your Majesty, take a break and drink some tea to relieve your fatigue." Maid Han Yanran said.
Han Jiangxue took the teacup, took a sip, and then put it down and rubbed her temples.
"How dare I take a break? There are so many things waiting for me to deal with. Some ministers in the court want to impeach me and give up my throne." Han Jiangxue said.
Many court officials were not satisfied with her ascending to the throne. It was not in their interests for Han Jiangxue to be the emperor. They were all waiting for her to make a big mistake.
"If they dare, who dares? I will kill their heads." Maid Han Yanran said murderously.
"It would be great if killing alone could solve the problem." Han Jiangxue shook her head.
Managing the country's court officials, killing alone cannot solve the problem.
Han Jiangxue picked up another memorial, which was a memorial from the northwest frontier.
She opened it and read it carefully.
"Sheng Huaian, 1,500 cavalry killed 5,000 enemy cavalry, 17 years old." Empress Han Jiangxue became interested in the content of the memorial.
This is a memorial submitted by the magistrate of Hexi County, requesting to appoint Sheng Huaian as a sixth-rank general to guard Hexi County and defend against Rongdi.
"Sheng Huaian? This name is so familiar." Han Yanran, a maid beside her, said.
"Have you heard of it?"
Han Jiangxue glanced at Han Yanran, the maid who had been with her since she was a child.
"Your Majesty, a poem written by this person is widely circulated in the capital." Han Yanran replied.
"Tell me about it."
Han Jiangxue became interested.
"It is said that Sheng Huaian wrote a poem for a woman named Qin Yao in the brothel, and it is now sung by many literati and brothel ladies.
The clouds think of clothes and the flowers think of beauty, the spring breeze blows the threshold and the dew is thick.
If we hadn't met on the top of the jade mountain, we would have met under the moon on the Yaotai."
Han Jiangxue listened and said; "What kind of woman deserves this poem, the goddess of the Yaotai under the moon, huh!"
The poem is a good poem, but the person...
Han Yanran heard a hint of unusual meaning and dared not speak again.
In this world, except for this peerless empress, who else can match this poem?
A mere brothel girl, what a waste.
"I want the information about Sheng Huaian." Han Jiangxue said lightly.
"Yes!"
Han Yanran turned and walked out of the Zhenghe Hall, went to the Xuanyi Guard, and got the news about Sheng Huaian.
The Xuanyi Guard of the Wei Dynasty supervised all officials, the common people, and the people in the middle. They were the swords and eyes and ears of the emperor.
Holding the news from the Xuanyi Guard.
Sheng Huaian, seventeen years old, was born in Anning Pass, a scholar. After joining the army, he was brave in killing the enemy, had excellent cultivation talent, and improved his realm quickly. He entered the grassland twice and killed the Xiongnu enemy. He once killed eight thousand cavalry with one thousand cavalry, and later rescued Hexi County and killed five thousand Rongdi, two innate.
Poems written on the battlefield "I am so ambitious that I eat the meat of the barbarians when I am hungry, and I drink the blood of the Xiongnu when I am thirsty."
"The bright moon in the Qin Dynasty and the pass in the Han Dynasty, the people have not returned from the long march of thousands of miles, but as long as the flying general of Longcheng is here, the slaves and horses will not be asked to cross the Anshan Mountain."
"I vowed to sweep away the Xiongnu without caring about my own life, and five thousand minks and brocades were lost in the dust of the Hu people. It's a pity that the bones by the Wuding River are still the people in the spring boudoir's dreams."
The above are all Sheng Huaian's information, which is almost the same.
If Sheng Huaian knew, he would definitely think that this Xuanyi Guard is really omnipresent.
"Not bad, he is brave and resourceful, a fierce general, and he is also a good poet. He is both civil and military." Han Jiangxue couldn't help but praise him after reading it.
Then he found the memorial of Yang Ye, the general of Anning Pass, to Sheng Huaian for merit.
"In this case, confer him the title of General of the Cavalry, guard Hexi County, and resist the Rongdi." Han Jiangxue directly gave an imperial edict to confer the title.
Then she stopped paying attention to it. A border general was not worth her spending too much energy to pay attention to.
Half a month later!
An imperial edict from the capital arrived in Hexi County.
"The imperial edict has arrived!"
A eunuch, walking at a pace of 2.58 million, accompanied by County Magistrate Chen, walked into the military camp.
Sheng Huaian was still training the army at this time.
Seeing the group of people coming in a mighty manner, Sheng Huaian and his subordinates looked curiously.
"What did the eunuch shout just now?" Wang Wu asked.
"It seems that some imperial edict has arrived." With Sheng Huaian's hearing, he naturally heard it clearly.
"Imperial edict?"
Wang Wu, Guo Xiaoping, Hu Bing and others around Sheng Huaian were shocked. That was an imperial edict. Why did the captain seem so calm and didn't hurry to receive the edict?
"General Sheng, hurry up and receive the edict." County Magistrate Chen saw Sheng Huaian standing there motionless and shouted.
"What? I receive the edict?" Sheng Huaian finally reacted.
"General Sheng Huaian, receive the edict." The eunuch walked over with a duck step.
"I receive the edict!"
Sheng Huaian then realized that he should bow and receive the imperial edict. He didn't need to kneel down. This was not Daqing.
The generals behind him also bowed and saluted to show their respect for the emperor.
"By the will of heaven, the emperor decrees that there is now a general named Sheng Huaian who is brave in battle and has repeatedly made extraordinary achievements..."
"Blatter, batter, batter..."
The eunuch read a lot, but Sheng Huaian didn't listen carefully. Why would the emperor give him an edict? Sheng Huaian was puzzled.
"Now Sheng Huaian is appointed as the General of Cavalry to guard Hexi County, resist Rongdi, and protect the peace of the border. This is the order of the emperor!"
After reading the imperial edict, the eunuch looked at Sheng Huaian and said, "General Sheng, accept the edict!"
"Oh oh!"
Sheng Huaian took the imperial edict, and the generals behind him were ecstatic, even happier than Sheng Huaian.
"Thank you for your hard work, eunuch!" After receiving the imperial edict, Sheng Huaian took out a silver ingot of fifty taels and stuffed it into the eunuch's pocket.
Xiao Chunzi was delighted when he saw the silver in his hand. This general was really good at handling things. This long journey was worth it. He had no complaints along the way.
"Please take a rest, eunuch. I will treat you to a banquet tonight." Sheng Huaian said.
It is difficult to guard against villains. Although he is just a little eunuch, it is better to make friends with him. This is the experience he learned in his previous life.
"No, General Sheng, I have to go back to report the imperial eunuch. Thank you for your hospitality." Xiao Chunzi declined politely and left.
"Congratulations, General Sheng, you are promoted to the position of General of Cavalry in good faith." County Magistrate Chen congratulated happily.
General of Cavalry, a sixth-rank general, a general of miscellaneous brands, is one level higher than him, a seventh-rank county magistrate.
Sheng Huaian held the imperial edict in his hand. He was a little confused. How could he suddenly be canonized as General of Cavalry by the empress and guard Hexi County?
He seems to have no one in the court, right?
How could the high and mighty empress pay attention to a small lieutenant like him?
Sheng Huaian had no idea that the messenger who made the burials was the county magistrate Chen who smiled and congratulated him beside him.
"Congratulations, congratulations, from now on, we will all call you General Sheng."
Guo Xiaoping, Hu Bing, Tang Yunshan and other subordinates congratulated happily one by one.
Guarding Hexi County, from then on, they formed their own army and separated from the Anning Army.
