Chapter 36: Concealing the Sky
It has to start three days ago. Wei Zheng made a promise to Li Haochen, saying that he could hide it from Chang He and transport the Five Thousand Seizing Camp into Xuanwu Gate without knowing it.
The next day, Wei Zheng came to find Li Haochen and told him that there were too many camps of five thousand traps, which were difficult to operate, and there was definitely no problem with two thousand. Li Haochen thought about comparing the strength advantages in his mind and agreed. Wei Zheng told him that after selecting, two thousand relatively elite soldiers gathered at the school ground, and told him that he would come on time in the afternoon to take away the two thousand soldiers and let the two thousand soldiers obey his command. Li Haochen nodded in agreement.
At this point, he actually didn't know what medicine was sold in Wei Zheng's gourd.
He could only choose two thousand elite soldiers as Wei Zheng said, so that they could listen to Wei Zheng's command at that time, and when they arrived at Xuanwu Gate, they would listen to Zhang Han's command. Such an important matter would definitely require a commanding general, and this person would be Zhang Han in his heart. He privately called Zhang Han into the big tent, gave him face-to-face advice, and finalized the combat plan, so that Zhang Han could keep it in mind. If a mutiny really occurred, control Xuanwu Gate as soon as possible and open the Xuanwu Gate, there would naturally be elite soldiers to help. Zhang Han remembered Li Haochen's words and nodded repeatedly.
Before the afternoon, Wei Zheng came to the military camp, communicated briefly with him, and took away the two thousand soldiers, including Zhang Han.
On the third day of the sixth day of the ninth year of Wude, just after Shen Shi passed in the afternoon, a convoy of horses slowly sent to Xuanwu Gate. The carriages were all filled with royal flags, with as many as twenty. After arriving at Xuanwu Gate, Chang He, the guardian of Xuanwu Gate, stopped the carriage. You should know that such a large group of carriages would be a big deal to enter the palace. Moreover, these twenty carriages were very large, as big as ten chariots on the battlefield, and they were all pulled by two horses. It can be seen that the things inside were not light.
Chang He knew that this was an extraordinary period, so he had to be careful and shouted: "Who is responsible for this car? What is it in it? Is there an imperial edict from His Majesty the Emperor?"
"Oh! Isn't this General Chang He?" Wei Zheng poked his head out and looked at Chang He with a smile and continued: "General Chang, I will select 200 palace maids from the people in accordance with the emperor's order. Now the people have been selected and are preparing to report to His Majesty the Emperor!"
Chang He had a puzzled expression on his face, because he had not heard of the emperor's order, and Wei Zheng was the prince's man, so he had to be careful and then smiled and said, "Mr. Wei, since you don't have the imperial edict from His Majesty the Emperor, I am ordered to guard Xuanwu Gate. I want to conduct a routine inspection. I hope Lord Wei will not be surprised!"
Wei Zheng's face suddenly looked ugly and his expression was extremely unhappy. Before he could speak, Chang He waved his hand and said, "Check!" A team of soldiers came out of Xuanwu Gate to inspect the twenty carriages.
But the inspection results were without exception. Everything in the carriage was made of delicate girls and there were no weapons.
Wei Zheng looked at the people after checking, and snorted coldly, "General Chang, can you let it go? Is it possible to delay the affairs of His Majesty the Emperor? Can you afford it?"
Although Chang He was confused, he had to let go at this moment. He immediately changed his smile and clasped his fists at Wei Zheng and said, "Whether the responsibility of the last general is, please don't be surprised by it! Let it go!" Chang He's level is higher than Wei Zheng. He claimed to be the last general, which obviously gave Wei Zheng enough face. Wei Zheng did not bother him and led the convoy into Xuanwu Gate.
Chang He originally thought that this matter would be done like this. Who knew that about half an hour later, Wei Zheng found him again with the imperial edict and said to him: "The emperor has an order, Chang He, the commander of Xuanwu Gate, will receive the order!" Chang He dared not be negligent, so he quickly knelt down on the ground and said: "The commander of Xuanwu Gate, will Chang He, will receive the order!"
Wei Zheng looked at Chang He and knelt down and read aloud:
According to the heavens, the emperor ordered the emperor to say: The palace seemed to be infected with food epidemics. He ordered the prince to wash the Ma Wei campaign and transport all the ingredients in the palace out of the palace tomorrow to avoid spreading. Why should the Xuanwu Gate guards always stop it? If you want to check without authorization, the spread of food epidemics, how should you bear the consequences!
Wei Zheng looked at Chang He with a frown and said, "General Chang, look at me as unlucky! Alas!"
After Chang He checked the handwriting of the imperial edict and the true meaning of the treasure, he thought for a while but did not check it, so he asked Wei Zheng to lead the convoy out of Xuanwu Gate.
Chang He now thinks that he cannot let a fly fly into Xuanwu Gate and ruin the Qin King's major affairs. As for what comes out, he doesn't care. Moreover, the imperial edict says it is a fertile epidemic. If he is infected, it will be a loss.
About half an hour later, Wei Zheng came back with the convoy, and Chang He still stopped him. He was terrified that Wei Zheng was doing something, so he still had to check it out.
Wei Zheng was furious when he heard this, "Your Majesty the Emperor said that before tomorrow, all the ingredients in the palace must be transported out of the palace. At the current speed, it will take about a dozen times to be fully transported. If you check this way, you have delayed your time. If you disobey the imperial edict, I will tell the Emperor truthfully, why do you always have to check the time you have been delayed? Can you take responsibility?"
Chang He listened to Wei Zheng's bad tone and snorted coldly and said without hesitation: "Chang He's responsibilities are there. If something goes wrong, I will take it all! Check!" As he said that, a team of soldiers came over and inspected twenty carriages, but without exception, all the carriages were empty, not even a single hair, so Chang He had no choice but to let go.
Wei Zheng came out in half an hour and came back in half an hour. However, this time, Wei Zheng took the initiative to stop the convoy before Chang He spoke, waiting for Chang He to inspect. In fact, Chang He had already determined that Wei Zheng had nothing in these twenty carriages and didn't want to check it anymore. Unexpectedly, Wei Zheng had to pull him to check it again, and wasted another quarter of an hour.
Chang He understood at this moment. Wei Zheng went back and forth one hour, and now it was Xu time, and there was more than an hour before tomorrow. From this point of view, don’t say that it was completed before the hour of the hour, even if it was dawn, he would not be able to complete it. Thinking that the emperor would blame him at that time, he would really not be able to afford the consequences.
Chang He thought of this and pulled Wei Zheng aside and said, "Mr. Wei, you see, we are all the princess. Please ask the convoy to transport it quickly. The last general will not check it later. I hope that the general can complete the transportation at midnight! Don't make things difficult for the general, the general will know that he is wrong!"
Wei Zheng looked at Chang He with a hint of embarrassment on his face. He looked at Chang He's pitiful expression and sighed, "Okay, I'll let them pretend and leave, don't wait for the convoy, this is possible to complete it before midnight! But General Chang, these coachmen are all hired by me by the people. They have never seen any big world and are very brave. I don't take them with me. Don't make things difficult for them. If you make things difficult for them, they will run away a few times when they are afraid. Then I will not complete the task assigned by His Majesty the Emperor, don't blame me!"
Chang He Lianlian smiled at Wei Zhengmei and said, "I dare not, I will definitely not make things difficult for them!"
In this way, Xuanwu Gate staged a scene of a carriage running back and forth. Chang He had already ordered the garrison soldiers not to stop them. The scene at Xuanwu Gate at this moment was really like a large carriage shop.
When the bell rang in the middle of the clock, Wei Zheng finally found Chang He and told him that he had completed the emperor's mission and asked him to rest assured. Chang He was overjoyed and sent Wei Zheng away with great gratitude.
Wei Zheng made full use of Chang He's psychology. Wei Zheng knew that the first time someone had a car, Chang He must check, and the second time he had empty car, and Chang He might have been lazy on the third time, but he continued to pull Chang He to continue checking. Before the fourth time, Chang He must have thought that he was deliberately punishing him in this way.
He will inevitably surrender. At this time, he told Chang He that he would transport the carriages in a dispersed manner without waiting for the convoy. In this way, Chang He would not be able to tell how many times these carriages were going back and forth. At the same time, he told Chang He that the coachman was timid, so that Chang He would never dare to stop these carriages within one hour in the future.
