"Panic what!"
Qin Huan glared at him angrily, and said coldly, "The old man asked you to say this, because I don't want you to be implicated by this straw bag son, in case there is no room for salvation in this matter, at least it can make the emperor feel that you are loyal to the country and will not show favoritism, your position as the general of the Yulin Army is immovable, this is the policy of abandoning the car to protect the commander, if you dare to intercede for Yang Dingguo, hum, the old man dares to guarantee that your position as the general of the Yulin Army will definitely change hands within two years." ” Yang Zhenwei was shocked when he heard this, and said in a cold sweat, "But, didn't this hurt my son?"
” "Do you think that if you let the emperor severely punish Yang Dingguo, the emperor will listen to you?"
Qin Huan sneered, "Let you do that, it's just a show, what you say, the emperor won't listen to it at all, the emperor just cares about your attitude, understand?"
” "Xiaguan understands."
Yang Zhenwei hurriedly nodded again and again, pitiful that he was in his fifties, and he was still the general of the Imperial Forest Army, but for the sake of his uncompetitive son, he nodded in front of Qin Huan, panicking like a primary school student who was lectured by a teacher.
Yang Zhenwei was silent for a moment, and suddenly said: "Old Qin, you can't let this Zhen Jian be so unscrupulous anymore, you have to find a way to get him, he dares to touch my son now, and he will dare to touch your son in the future. ” "You know what!"
Qin Huan snorted coldly, "The old man has to admit that the old man despised him too much before, but his luck is also very good, the old man sent people to assassinate him and his family, but they were unsuccessful." ” Qin Huan got up slowly, paced in the hall, and sighed leisurely: "I didn't expect it, a Li Shu boy, actually stood out in front of the emperor, and made great contributions repeatedly, now the emperor values him very much, whether it is a bright knife or a dark arrow, I can't use it on him at this time, yesterday the emperor summoned the old man to discuss the matter of rewarding Zhen Jian, the emperor's meaning, he intends to promote Zhen Jian's title and official position, and even wants him to enter the sixth department." ” "What!"
Yang Zhenwei exclaimed when he heard this, "He was not born in the imperial examination and has made military achievements, shouldn't he be awarded a military position, why did he let him serve in the Sixth Ministry?"
And as soon as you come, you will be an outsider?
” "The emperor values him, the emperor doesn't want him to hold a military position, saying that it buries his talent."
Qin Huan sighed and said, "But yesterday the old man tried his best to dissuade the emperor, saying that although Zhen Jian was talented, he was only seventeen years old after all, and his background was not good. ” Yang Zhenwei breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and hurriedly asked, "Old Qin, how do you plan to place him?"
” Qin Huan said: "The old man has already thought about it, and arranged for him to do the Honglu Temple Protocol House (Zheng Qipin), specifically responsible for receiving foreign guests, this is an idle job, our Dachu diplomacy is not bleak now, since last year, he has only received a small state to envoy, forgive him and he can't play any tricks." ” Yang Zhenwei thought for a while and said: "Old Qin, you can arrange a position for him to do something, he has just entered the officialdom, he doesn't understand anything, and when there are many things, he is easy to make mistakes, as long as he makes mistakes, can't you take his handle, and then you can take the opportunity to make suggestions to the emperor to suppress him." ” Qin Huan sneered: "The things in the officialdom, you don't understand, the protocol of Honglu Temple is an idle job, and only when you receive more foreign guests can you be promoted through meritorious service, but I have too few foreign guests to visit in Dachu, how can he be promoted, take a step back, if there are foreign guests coming, we can let the interpreters and etiquette officers of the protocol house pretend to be sick and absent, without the interpreters and etiquette officers, how can Zhen Jian receive foreign guests, he will definitely make mistakes." ” Yang Zhenwei said: "But many foreign guests know our Dachu language, and they will also bring interpreters. ” Qin Huan glanced at him and said: "The people who come to visit are all small countries in Fanbang, and only the envoys and interpreters understand the language of my Dachu, as long as the envoys and the translators of Fanbang are also sick, or use a little means from other aspects, it is difficult to ensure that Zhen Jian does not make mistakes, you must know that there are many strange customs in Fanbang, these customs, only the ceremonial officer knows, Zhen Jian did not have the ceremonial official to mention it, and it is also a big mistake to offend foreign envoys in etiquette." ” Yang Zhenwei's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he couldn't help but nod and smile: "Old Qin's move is really clever. ” Qin Huan stroked his beard and said: "Diplomacy is no trivial matter, although the protocol is idle, but every time a foreign envoy comes, the entire protocol will be scared, for fear that the hospitality will not be good, as long as Zhen Jian offends the foreign envoy, it is a big crime, and the lightest crime is also a humiliation of the country, then the emperor will be furious, the Son of Heaven is angry, it is not trivial, Zhen Jian will lose his official position at the lightest, and he will be imprisoned at the worst, as long as Zhen Jian loses his favor, it will not be easy for the old man to deal with him!"
” Yang Zhenwei hurriedly got up and patted his ass and said, "The lower officials are obedient, Qin is honest and scheming!"
” "Don't be a sycophant."
Qin Huan waved his hand and said, "You go back quickly, at this moment, the emperor must have also seen the song, and it is estimated that he will summon you soon, remember, you must follow what the old man taught you, and kill your relatives with righteousness!"
” "Yes!"
Yang Zhenwei saluted respectfully, "The lower official retired."
With that, he withdrew from the hall.
Qin Huan held his beard in his hands, his eyes burst with essence, and he said proudly: "Zhen Jian, if you want to be an official, you are asking for your own death, the court......
It's the old man's world!
” On the sixth day of the ninth month, Zhen Jian finally returned to the capital, bypassed the West Lake, and entered the city from the north gate.
Liu Qing also saluted the two of them, and then said with a smile: "Lord Zhen, General Wang, the emperor has ordered Lord Zhen to immediately follow our family into the palace to face the saint, as for Yang Dingguo, General Wang will hand it over to the Criminal Department!"
” "Obey the order!"
The two of them received the order together, and Liu Qing led them to the Imperial City.
After entering the Great Interior, Wang Guang took people to the Criminal Department, Zhen Jian went straight to the palace, and came all the way to the Linde Palace.
In the main hall of the Linde Palace, the emperor sat behind the dragon case, Zhen Jian entered the hall to salute, and the emperor said cheerfully: "Excuse yourself from courtesy, haha, give a seat quickly." ” The eunuch next to him immediately brought a round stool, and Zhen Jian said, "Your Majesty."
"Sit down.
The emperor looked at Zhen Jian with a smile, and sighed happily: "I haven't seen you for half a year, you have grown taller, Zhen Jian, go to Xiangfan, you have suffered." ” Zhen Jian arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty is serious, as a soldier, to protect the family and defend the country, how dare the minister speak hard." ” The emperor nodded happily and said: "Okay, Zhen Jian, I really didn't misunderstand you, you are indeed a genius of wisdom and bravery, I heard that the Huns dispatched 200,000 troops this time, 200,000, the battle must be very tragic, Zhen Jian, can you tell me about the scene of the war?"
” Zhen Jian was stunned when he heard this, and said with a dry smile: "Your Majesty, the war is too bloody and cruel, and it is better for the minister not to say it, so as not to make the emperor unhappy." ” "I'll let you speak."
The emperor said, "I read the battle report from Qin Yuan and Qin Xueyang, just by reading the battle report, my blood is boiling, our Great Chu has not fought such a beautiful victory for a long time, you must tell me to tell me, tell me personally, how you fought back this gang of barbarians!"
” "Since Your Majesty has an order, the minister will obey the order!"
Zhen Jian's head was raised, and he told the emperor about the battle of Fancheng, starting from the battle for the pontoon bridge, just listening to the battle for a pontoon bridge, the emperor was fascinated, and when he heard that the pontoon bridge was burned by the Hun navy, the emperor was so angry that he slammed the table, but when he heard that Zhen Jian led people to burn all the warships of the navy, the emperor applauded and praised Zhen Jian for his courage and strategy.
Zhen Jian's speech is naturally much more detailed than the battle report, and even the specific plot is clearly stated, extremely vivid, it took a little half an hour to finish, the emperor was still unsatisfied after listening to it, and praised happily: "Okay, Zhen Jian, you are really good, you actually shot the two magic arrow generals of the Huns in a row, and raised the prestige of my Great Chu, and in the future, the Huns and the Tule people dare to despise our Great Chu, I have decided, I will also give you the title of a magic arrow general, and I will spend a lot of money to find the best craftsman in the world to make the best bow for you!"
” "The emperor is very loving, and the ministers are grateful."
Zhen Jian said with a smile, "However, the minister's current strong bow is very easy to use, so there is no need to waste money and manpower to make bows and arrows, the emperor, the minister has a reluctant request." ” "You say."
The emperor spread his hands, "I will allow you." ” Zhen Jiandao: "Actually, it's not a big deal, that is, this time General Wang Guang went to pick up the ministers, but unfortunately he was delayed by the minister's illness and was trapped in Fancheng, at the critical moment of the Fancheng army, General Wang Guang took the Royal Forest Army to kill the enemy, which can be regarded as not having the emperor's order to mobilize the Royal Forest Army privately, and finally led to all the Royal Forest Army dying on the battlefield. ” "Well, it's a trifle."
The emperor smiled lightly, "The war report said, Wang Guang loyally protected the country, bravely killed the enemy, although his subordinates were all killed, but he also killed dozens of enemy troops, and also killed many centurions of the Huns, the battle achievements are not small, how can I punish the meritorious ministers, as for the private transfer of the Royal Forest Army, hehe, the Royal Forest Army is in danger, naturally to protect itself, the enemy army is attacking the city, he is leading troops to protect himself, it is not a violation of discipline, you can rest assured, I will not punish him, but also reward him, I plan to knight him." ” Zhen Jian hurriedly got up and saluted and shouted: "The emperor's rewards and punishments are clear, the emperor is sage!"
” "Hahaha......"
The emperor smiled happily, he couldn't say why, he just liked to listen to Zhen Jian's sycophancy, it sounded comfortable.
After laughing for a moment, the emperor suddenly said: "Oh, by the way, Zhen Jian, I promised you that when you came back from the army, I would reward you with an official position, this time you have made great contributions, I should have rewarded you with a good position, but the Qin privy envoy felt that you were too young, your qualifications were still shallow, and you were not from the imperial examination, if you suddenly held a high position, I was afraid that it would be difficult to convince the public, I felt that what he said was reasonable, and after discussing with him, I decided to let you go to the Honglu Temple Protocol House to serve as a seven-grade move, what do you think?"
” Zhen Jian had done some homework on the official positions in the DPRK and China before, and knew that the responsibility of the Honglu Temple Protocol House was to receive foreign guests, but the official position of the government was too low, and he really hadn't heard of it, so he asked: "Your Majesty, what does this government house do?"
” The emperor said: "The highest position of the Protocol House is the envoy of the Sixth Rank Academy, and there are also interpreters and ceremonial officials of the Seventh Rank below, but all matters related to the reception of foreign guests are done by the courtier, so the matter is the important duty of the House of Protocol."
"The emperor also avoided the important and trivialized, and when foreign envoys visited, the government office was an important job, but in normal times, it was an idle job.
