Chapter 977: Striving for Merit

Lan Ziyi sneered:

"Piff? If there is no daring soldier to enter the battle first, how can the enemy camp be breached? Why should the thief head hang the door? As far as I know, when Qi Rongxun rolled into the camp, it was Gao Yanzong who led his troops to guard the fence to curb the counterattack of the demon thieves, and when Qi Rongxun finally fought a decisive battle with the demon thieves, it was Gao Yanzong's personal commander who attacked the demon thieves on the back, attracting the attention of the enemy and giving Zhang Yanwu and Li Guangzhong the opportunity to sneak attack behind the flank. He Gao Yanzong was originally the general of the Jihu Battalion, but after he entered the battalion, he was transferred by Qi Rongxun to him as the commander of the infantry, working hard and unselfish.

This kind of loyal and righteous man, Lord Shoufu, opens his mouth and is called a puppet, let me ask if it is of one percent of the use of Gao Yanzong to put Lord Shoufu in front of the battle? I don't believe that the military newspaper in Qi Rongxun's newspaper did not ask Gao Yanzong for credit! ”

Chen Zhihuan heard Lan Ziyi's disrespectful words, and he was about to open his mouth to scold him, but Zhang Mingyue raised his hand to stop him, and Zhang Mingyue personally opened his mouth and said to Lan Ziyi:

"I have a specialization in the art industry, and of course I can't compare to General Gao. But I still think that the title should not be rewarded indiscriminately, and those who can be named should be generals who lead the army to win the victory, not just a warrior. ”

Lan Ziyi said:

"The army is full of martial artists, who is willing to give Dazheng his life if he doesn't reward martial arts? The first assistant lord keeps saying that he is a general, but if he doesn't record his title with military merits, I don't know what other methods you have to select and cultivate generals. ”

Lan Ziyi and Zhang Mingyue did not give in to each other, just now when they confronted each other for the first time, it was the eunuch of the celebrant who came forward to mediate, and this time the eunuch spoke in a timely manner, and the eunuch said:

"Wei Hou, this Gao Yanzong that you argued with Zhang Shoufu is the Gao Yanzong who was ordered by Xiangcheng County to do the Dongji Tiger Camp?"

Last time, the eunuch was obviously biased in favor of Lan Ziyi, but this time the eunuch's words were a little unexpected by Lan Ziyi, why would such a eunuch know Gao Yanzong's resume? Lan Ziyi suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart, and he replied:

"Face it, does my father-in-law know about this person?"

The eunuch laughed and said:

"How do slaves and maids know about the generals outside? The slave maid just heard that there was a jinshi named Gao Yanzong who was very reckless, and he didn't know how to be polite than a martial artist, so it was better for that person to commit a crime. Although the slave maid has never been in the Imperial Horse Prison, the slave maid also knows that if you want to give orders in the army, the most important thing is that the subordinates obey the superiors. ”

Zhang Mingyue also thought that this eunuch was sent by the palace to support Lan Ziyi, and he didn't expect that this eunuch would actually dismantle Lan Ziyi's platform, but it was not surprising that the eunuch would block Gao Yanzong's way, after all, Zhang Mingyue was not the only one present when Gao Yanzong was angry. Zhang Mingyue smiled and said to the eunuch:

"Father-in-law, you also think that Gao Yanzong shouldn't be rewarded."

How could Lan Ziyi wait for the eunuch to nod, if the eunuch nodded in agreement with Zhang Mingyue's words today, then Gao Yanzong would have to return in vain. Lan Ziyi rushed to the eunuch and said:

"Father-in-law, that Gao Yanzong is just reckless, and he didn't make any mistakes, do you think, if Gao Yanzong likes to make trouble, how can he obediently listen to Qi Rongxun's arrangement in the camp this time? How could he take the initiative to give up his Dongji Tiger Battalion to the commander of the cavalry? ”

The eunuch had no interest in Gao Yanzong's performance in the army, and he asked Lan Ziyi:

"But if according to what Wei Hou said, Gao Yanzong is a sensible person, then why is his reputation so ugly?"

Lan Ziyi scolded in his heart when he heard this, Lan Ziyi thought: "Isn't it up to you and Gonggong Long to have the final say on whether the reputation is good or not?" You think he's terrible, I want to ask why, but now you come and ask me, how can I answer? But Lan Ziyi still said with a smile:

"Father-in-law, what the sage said is good, don't raise people because of a word, don't abolish people because of a word, who can be a sage if a person is not a sage, that Gao Yanzong has a straight temperament, plus he has been in the province for a long time, and he doesn't understand the doorway of the capital, so he will do rude things, I have already told him, he will never do such stupid things in the future."

Then Lan Ziyi persuaded the eunuch and said:

"Father-in-law, although you haven't been in the Imperial Horse Prison, but I came out of the army, the most important thing in the army is a clear reward and punishment, meritorious not rewarded and not punished is the most affecting morale, that Gao Yanzong was demoted after the last time and the thief has hurt the morale of the army, this time he is the first soldier, if he comes back or is not rewarded, it will be a big mess."

The eunuch laughed:

"I don't see what's going on."

Lan Ziyi said:

"Father-in-law, otherwise, my title was given by my father, and I exchanged it with Lord Gao and gave him my title."

The eunuch shook his head and said:

"Master Hou, although the slave maid doesn't study, the slave and maid also know that there is no such rule."

However, Lan Ziyi said for so long and it didn't work, and he finally relented under Lan Ziyi's soft grinding and hard bubbles, and he said to Zhang Mingyue:

"Zhang Shoufu, I've kept you waiting."

Zhang Mingyue laughed dryly and said:

"How dare you say that you have waited for a long time? I just don't dare to interrupt your words. ”

The eunuch laughed:

"Lord Shoufu didn't urge the slave maid, the slave maid was very grateful, and the slave maid also felt that Gao Yanzong was not worthy of a reward, but Wei Hou insisted so much, presumably there must be something outstanding about that Gao Yanzong. Besides, the military spirit is indeed indissolvable, and the reward for destroying the demon thief before is unfair, and this time it is afraid that it will be inappropriate to hold down the meritorious ministers. ”

Lan Ziyi heard the eunuch say "not worthy of a reward", and his heart was cold, but the eunuch immediately supported Lan Ziyi's words and pulled Lan Ziyi's heart back, and the feeling of waiting for fifteen buckets to go up and down was really exciting. Zhang Mingyue heard that the eunuch stood on Lan Ziyi's side again, and gently smashed his tongue, he said:

"Gao Yanzong's merits, I will order the military department to verify it carefully."

The eunuch laughed:

"Lord Shoufu, to tell you the truth, half of Taisho's military exploits are counted by the military department, and half are counted by the imperial horse supervisor. I see that Gao Yanzong is unhappy, and I don't want him to be sealed, but even so, Wei Hou still insists, I am only afraid that the Imperial Horse Supervisor is already connected with Wei Hou, if you verify your military merits, you have to be unified with the Imperial Horse Supervisor first, don't go to the emperor's inconsistency, and then go to the Qinzheng Palace to answer. ”

Zhang Mingyue sighed:

"What my father-in-law said is reasonable, I will verify with Father-in-law Yu."

Speaking of this, Ming Yue asked Lan Ziyi Dao:

"Then according to Wei Hou's thoughts, how should Gao Yanzong be satisfied?"

Lan Ziyi said:

"Gao Yanzong and Qi Rongxun have the same merits, and they should be sealed as pavilions!"

Chen Zhihuan said:

"Impossible! How can anyone go into the mountains and hand over a bandit and wait for the pavilion? Qi Hou has only added 500 households. He, Gao Yanzong, together with Li Guangzhong, has come to the end of the lieutenant of the light car. ”

Lan Ziyi protested:

"Gao Yanzong's merits far surpassed Li Guangzhong's, but he ended up with Li Guangzhong? How can there be such a thing in the world? ”

At this time, it was Zhao Liang who interjected to calm the dispute and said:

"I don't think everyone should fight, that Gao Yanzong is indeed meritorious, and after destroying the thief, he will be rewarded less, this time it should only be reissued to him for his previous merits, and he and Zhang Gongzi will work together to seal the customs and marquis. I wonder what Shousuke-sama thinks? ”

Zhang Mingyue looked at Zhao Liang and nodded slightly, Lan Ziyi no longer had any opinions, and everyone in the Military Aircraft Department understood that this matter was decided.
