On the twenty-seventh day of the winter month, Shang Cheng finally came to Shangjing.

Not long after he lived in the Great Post House in the North Outer City, two minor officials from the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Industry came to him. He is now a county marquis and a Shangzhu country, whether he is invited to Beijing to recuperate or stay in Beijing this time, he needs a quiet environment, so when the Ministry of Rites heard that he was going back to Beijing, they first arranged a mansion for him in Chongyifang in the inner city. The radius of the mansion can be 20 acres, it is the old residence that was returned when the previous Shangshu who took up his post in the local area left Beijing, and the Ministry of Industry is processing and adding points to rebuild and renovate according to the system, and it will be able to move in in a few days. However, before the county uncle's mansion was completely completed, he had to first wronged the general to live in the post house.

It's a trivial matter, and Shang Cheng doesn't care. For him, there is actually no difference between the county mansion or the post house, anyway, it is just a temporary place to stay.

The two officials of the Sixth Ministry left, and the secretary of the Ministry of War arrived. The military department Shangshu first inquired about his illness, and then told him that he would recuperate with peace of mind first, and wait until his health was well before talking.

Shang Cheng knew that the secretary of the military department himself was also the deputy prime minister, so these words were actually the meaning of Zhang Pu and the prime minister's office.

Because the military department Shangshu only came to visit his illness this time as a courtesy, he did not talk to him about official business, but only told some interesting anecdotes in Shangjing.

The military department soon realized that this kind of idle talk was actually more tiring. Shang Cheng is a military general, and he has served in the local government for a long time, and he is not familiar with the civil and military officials in Shangjing at all, and those things that seem quite funny to him are probably nothing in Shang Cheng's eyes. Many times, Shang Cheng laughed with him with a blank face, and he couldn't talk at all.

The military department had no choice but to change the subject. He asked Shang Cheng: "I remember, you and Yi Guogong used to be colleagues. ”

"Yes." Shang Cheng said. Isn't that knowingly asking? Wang Yicai left Yanshan in June, maybe the military department still doesn't know? After a pause, he smiled again and said, "During the northern expedition the year before last, I rushed out of the west bank of Alegu with Yi Guogong. ”

The military department Shangshu held the lamp and glanced at Shang Cheng quietly. Of course, he knew the past of Shang Cheng and Wang Yi, and he also knew that their personal friendship was very deep. But when he heard others talk about the past in Alegu, they all talked about Wang Yi and others following Shang Chengcai to break through, but when they came to Shang Cheng, they became "with Yi Guogong"...... He said, "Do you know about Arashijin? ”

Shang Cheng laughed and said, "I heard about it." "The people of Dongwu came to hand over the letter of state for help, but they were beaten by Wang Yi inexplicably, and they couldn't shout injustice when they were beaten, and they had to be accompanied by a smiling face, I don't know how many things the king of Dongwu smashed at home to get angry.

"Duke Yi fought skillfully in the battle of Lanzhen, and the court wanted to promote him to General Huaiyuan."

Shang Chengleng paused. As far as he knew, Wang Yi was General Mingwei of the Jin Dynasty six or seven years ago, and he had not been promoted to the rank of honor in the past few years. The reason why there is no Jin Xun is because Wang Yi's General Mingwei was originally from the fourth rank and belonged to senior generals; On the other hand, because Wang Yi has not had any meritorious achievements in the past few years, it is difficult to move upwards again, how can he suddenly be promoted? Could it be that the imperial court counted this inexplicable battle of Lanzhen as Wang Yi's military exploits? Although he felt that things were strange and strange in his heart, he was still happy for Wang Yi. Wang Yi was bent on glorifying the lintel of the old Wang family, and this promotion showed that his efforts had been recognized, and the imperial court and the military department had begun to pay attention to him. However, Wang Yi served as the assassin of Rongzhou and Lanzhen with General Mingwei, which was originally a high position and a low match, but now that he has been promoted to General Mingwei, it is even more unreasonable to be a assassin...... He pondered and inquired, "Then his position should also be transferred, right?" ”

"At the beginning of the spring, he will be transferred to Jiazhou and take up a position in the camp." The military department Shangshu said, "It may be to consult the army, or it may be the commander of the Jiange Road." ”

Shang Cheng didn't speak. Not to mention joining the army, the senior staff officer, the commander of Jiange Road is just a good sound, in fact, it is to maintain the grain of the army, no matter which position it is, it is not what Wang Yi wants. It seems that the imperial court is both optimistic about Wang Yi and not at ease, and he does not dare to let go of it, so he simply arranges a position in the Jiazhou camp, and the responsibilities are not light or heavy, as long as he does not make mistakes, he can also record a stroke in the credit book when the army conquers the Southern Zhao triumphantly. But it's just a trifle, and it takes a deputy prime minister to run to tell yourself as an anecdote? He turned around twice in his heart and didn't figure out the meaning, so he simply forgot it and continued to accompany the military department Shangshu to talk about it.

The military department did not sit for long before leaving. Before leaving, he told Shang Cheng again that because the prime minister's office was busy with affairs in recent years, he might not look for him in the last day or two; The most important thing is to rest more and take good care of your body.

Because the prime ministers were very busy, no one came to disturb them for three days after the military department was gone. This is normal. Even in the military, there are not many people who know Shang Cheng. For example, everyone in the world knows about the great victory of Heishui City, Sun Zhongshan, Shao Chuan, and even Guo Biao who fell on the grassland, but few people have heard of Shang Cheng. Only those who are very sensitive and attentive to various personnel changes in the imperial court will notice an inconspicuous news in the newspaper, "Yanshan Yi County Shang Cheng is promoted to the first rank, and he is given the title of county earl." There are still a very small number of people who vaguely remember that three months ago, this Shang Cheng briefly served as the governor of Yanshan Wei, but soon resigned due to illness.

No one bothered, and Shang Cheng was happy to be clean. He didn't go out every day, just waiting for news from the prime minister's office in the post house. He didn't have anywhere to go anyway. Except for Wang Yi and Guo Biao, he has no friends in the capital. There is a big businessman Yuan Lan who lives in the outer city, but the current status gap between the two people is too big, and if they come to the door rashly, the Yuan family is afraid that they will want to jump and jump, so they are not willing to disturb others. There is also an old comrade-in-arms Ran Linde who met on the grassland. But Ran Linde lives outside the southern city, and it takes half a day to come and go, so just forget it. Of course, Chen Pu is also an acquaintance. But Chen Pu also has the identity of a princess and is widowed, so it is difficult to run to disturb people if he has nothing to do.

He lived in the post house, and he was always thinking about how to move the prime minister's office.

Until now, he has not given up the idea of a decisive battle with the king of Donglu Valley next year. He thought clearly, Zhu Xu had already been ordered to go to Yanshan to take up his post, and it was impossible for him to persuade the imperial court to retract his order. However, the commander of the Zhuxu Governor Yanshan does not mean that there is no hope for things, and he can also elaborate on the entire strategy when he meets Zhang Pu and the prime ministers, and strive to regain their support. Even if the Prime Minister's Mansion can't agree, he can still take a step back and strive to take the position of Yanshan Wei Dasima, and then complete his idea through the prefaces. He thought, no matter whether Zhu Xuan is Xiao or not, and no matter what kind of purpose Zhu Xuan has to go to Yanshan, in the final analysis, Zhu Xuan is always a soldier, with the honor and pursuit of a soldier, and in the face of such a fighter, it will inevitably burst out with the enthusiasm for war and the courage to fight a decisive battle that a soldier should have......
