Chapter 273 Demonstration
Zheng Shouzhong was so scared that his heart trembled. Now that the court did not trust him and annoyed Zhang Shixun, he might have given his life here. He was removed from his military position and went out to serve as the deputy chief of Gaoyangguan Road. It sounded like it was just a demotion from the official position, but no one could say what would happen after leaving the capital. The treatment of a serious offender, which was escorted by the eunuchs and the soldiers of the Imperial City Office could safely reach the demotion site, and really demanded the blessing of the gods and Buddhas in the sky.
He grabbed Sun Lian, who was still in trouble, and comforted him a few words. Zheng Shouzhong asked Zhang Shixun carefully: "En Xiang, before leaving the city, can you let Mo Jiang go home and explain it. This is not close to Hebei, so you have to bring some clothes to change."
"No need, the court will prepare you naturally. After going out from here, you are not allowed to go home, you are not allowed to go back to the military camp, and you are directly out of the city. The envoy and the people of the Imperial City Division are already waiting at the door, so you can go with them honestly!"
Zheng Shouzhong felt more and more uneasy when he heard it. He asked Zhang Shixun: "My kindness, Nianmo is always respectful. Can you tell me clearly whether you have committed a death sentence this time? Will you still be able to return to the capital alive after leaving?"
Zhang Shixun said with a stern face: "Military affairs are important, there is no need to say much. As soldiers, you can just follow the orders. If you don't say anything else, then go out of the city. You must go to Xicheng County today before you can rest, and there must be no mistakes!"
After hearing this, Zheng Shouzhong was so scared that his legs were trembling. Xicheng County belongs to Huazhou and is an enclave on Jingxi Road. It is more than a hundred miles away from Kaifeng City. This is to ask them to walk out of the Kaifeng Prefecture in one go and travel overnight. In addition to Kaifeng City, the imperial guards under the Palace Front Office have stationed in all counties in the prefecture area, which clearly prevents their subordinates from saving people and causing trouble.
The conscience of heaven and earth, Zheng Shouzhong did not have such a high prestige among the imperial guards in front of the palace. Not to mention being escorted out of the city, even if he was chopped into meat paste in the Privy Council, no subordinates would speak for him. But what was scary was that this attitude was obviously to treat him as rebel officials as a defense. It would be hard to say whether he would be rebel officials on the road.
Zheng Shouzhong was born in the Zhenzong vassal residence. After Zhenzong ascended the throne, he was promoted to the top military commander. Not only did he have no military achievements, but he could not even count other contributions. He was usually very powerful, but he showed his character at this time. As the emperor of the Hall Commander, he said "honor" to the Privy Councilor, and it was disgusting to say that he was "honored" to the Privy Councilor.
Gao Hua, who succeeded the throne, was actually basically the same as Zheng Shouzhong's experience. When he was young, he was chosen as the clan official of the Xiangwang Mansion, which was to lead the horse to Emperor Zhenzong, who had not yet been established as the crown prince. However, Gao Hua had no military achievements and still had some achievements in the local area. Military affairs were not good, but civil affairs were reasonable. This is also why Zhao Zhen thought he was better than Zheng Shouzhong. Li Zhaoliang, the new palace maid of Yu, was born in a general, and his father was a famous general Li Jilong. Li Zhaoliang could not fight, but had to learn from his own military affairs.
Seeing that neither of them said anything, Zhang Shixun ordered his subordinates to go out and take all the scepters brought by Zheng Shouzhong and Sun Lian. The eunuchs who were equal to outside immediately got up and left the city. In this time, all the relevant procedures had been completed, and the handover in the yamen depends on the two generals who were in charge of the military.
After leaving the capital, Sun Lian was still indignant and said to Zheng Shouzhong: "Master of the Capital, we are in charge of the front office of the Palace. With 200,000 troops under our command, the earth shook. Today, we were called around with a hairy awk. We are not allowed to go back to our homes until now. This is a great humiliation! The general of the military officer can go to the palace to report, so why not tell us the difference between us and the two of us?"
After hearing the battle between Gao Daquan and Xu Huaide, Zhao Zhen praised: "You are extremely brave and well-controlled, and you are very good at it. Gao Daquan, you are doing this very appropriately. At this time, the army's morale is turbulent, so it is better to be quiet than to move. I will reward you afterwards!"
Gao Daquan thanked him and said, "I was just a counselor to the husband's family. I got the husband's teachings. By chance, I made some contributions. Your Majesty's grace, and he promoted him with all his might and became a general in the army. It is a blessing to have this day. I only regret that I have no chance to serve the court, so why dare to hope for the reward again?"
Zhao Zhen nodded and suddenly asked, "Gao Daquan, are the soldiers brought out by Xu Ping in Yongzhou really like you?"
