Chapter 740: A Living Legend
Zhao Man's request, Tang Ning readily agreed.
The problem of my sister and sister is not a problem at all, she came very early, but she has been cut in line, and Tang Ning is also very distressed.
"That's what you said!" Zhao Man was happy all of a sudden, it seemed that multiple people in the family were not a big deal, she only cared if she would be at the end.
After Yan Yan's crane tail, her status at home will automatically increase by one, and she can puff up her chest when she speaks in front of her.
Tang Ning stretched out his palm and said, "High-five is an oath." ”
Zhao Man slapped his palm, and immediately put his mind at ease, snuggled in his arms, and said coquettishly: "In the past few months that you have been away, I miss you so much......"
is also a princess, the gap between Wan Yan Yan and Zhao Man is too big.
As long as it is a man, who wouldn't like a bird-like like like Zhao Man, a gentle and cute type, but like Wan Yanyan, an evil girl who will use sweat medicine to ill her......
……
Tang Ning has been back in Beijing for half a month, and in this half a month, he has lived in seclusion, and not many people know that he has returned to Beijing.
It wasn't until half a month later that the 100,000 troops from the Jingshi appeared outside the city gate.
As a marshal, Tang Ning naturally couldn't be absent from the celebration ceremony, so he left the city a day early to join Xiao Jue and them.
Lu Ya seems to be the type that is easy to get pregnant, and she is three months pregnant, and you can see a little clue from the outside.
Xiao Jue looked at Tang Ning and asked, "Is my father okay?" ”
Tang Ning said: "Old Master Xiao is in good health, but Lu Shangshu is not very good. ”
Xiao Jue was shocked: "You have already told my father-in-law about this news?" ”
Tang Ning shook his head and said, "It's not me. ”
He was thinking about hiding it for Xiao Jue for a while, but Chen Huang said it before him, and it was not that he leaked the news.
"Not you?" Xiao Jue showed a hint of anger on his face and said, "Which bastard thing betrayed me?" ”
Tang Ning glanced at him and said, "It's Your Majesty." ”
Xiao Jue was stunned, with an embarrassed look on his face, and said, "When I didn't say ......"
After he finished speaking, he felt that something was wrong, and said in surprise: "No, how could Your Majesty know?" ”
"Do you need to ask?" Tang Ning glanced at him and said, "Your Majesty's secret spies are all over the army, maybe even he knows how long you have been holding out at night, let alone such a big thing......"
There must be Emperor Chen's secret spies in the army, but it is not so exaggerated, but this is not the point, the focus is on Xiao Jue's letter.
After that, he used a look that looked like a secret agent, and the several generals around him were furious in their hearts and avoided him.
The victory of this Northern Expedition was a greater event than the pacification of the Jiangnan Rebellion, and it was of greater significance to Chen Guo.
Emperor Chen gave the soldiers the highest courtesy, and personally led the civil and military officials out of the city to greet them.
So there was such a scene at the gate of the city, the army returned victorious, the Son of Heaven and even the ministers were smiling, beaming, among the crowd, only the military department Shangshu Lu Ding had a black face, staring at a figure on the horse, eager to cut him with a thousand knives.
The army has a complete set of etiquette regulations.
After the ceremony, Emperor Chen returned to the palace, the hundred officials dispersed in order, Xiao Jue was about to slip away, Lu Ding had already appeared under his horse, and said angrily: "Little beast, get out of here!" ”
Xiao Jue looked at Tang Ning for help, and Tang Ning looked away.
Seeing that he couldn't help him, Xiao Jue could only jump off the horse in frustration, bowed his head and said, "I've seen my father-in-law......"
Lu Ding's forehead was bruised, and he said angrily: "Don't call me father-in-law, I don't have a father-in-law like you!" ”
"Oh......" Xiao Jue nodded and said, "Brother Lu, what are you looking for me?" ”
Tang Ning stood on the horse, and he could also see Lu Ding's chest rising and falling, and his forehead was jumping, he once saw a joke about his son-in-law getting drunk and worshipping his father-in-law, Xiao Jue and Lu Ding didn't need to drink, really counted, the two of them are actually equals, and they were originally brothers.
In other words, Xiao Jue looks like a dog, but he is actually a beast that has enlarged his niece's belly.
"Daddy!" Lu Ya jumped off the horse and looked at Lu Ding dissatisfied.
"You're crazy!" Lu Ding's eyelids jumped, and he hurriedly hugged her, and said, "Can you jump in such a high place, in case the child has three long and two short, ...... it."
He twitched twice on his mouth and said in a deep voice, "Go back with me!" ”
After speaking, he glanced at Xiao Jue again and said, "Little beast, go back and tell your father that Lu will visit in an hour!" ”
Tang Ning didn't get involved in the family affairs of the Xiao family and the Lu family, he was more curious about how Emperor Chen would reward him this time.
Being an emperor is not really freewheeling, and Emperor Chen also needs to have a yardstick when he acts.
If there is merit, it will be rewarded, and if there is a fault, it will be punished, this is the law that the superior must strictly follow, only the reward and punishment are clear, and the people under him can be convinced.
And the problem is that Tang Ning is already the general of Zuo Xiaowei, the servant of the ministry, and the scholar Zuo Cheng, and the military post is the general of the Sixteenth Guard, which is the pinnacle that the military generals can reach, and the civil post is the Shangshu and the prime minister, which is almost the peak that the civilian officials can reach.
At his age, no matter which position he sits, he has created a precedent since Chen Guoguo.
Of course, in addition to promotions, there are also knights.
But since decades ago, Chen's title has not increased.
The powerful and powerful, as the name suggests, stand at the pinnacle of power, have a noble status, and a very small number of people enjoy the vast majority of resources.
They don't have to do anything, they are also supported by the state, and the children of the powerful are far easier to be promoted than the children of the poor who have no background.
It is precisely because of their transcendent status that these people often do some things to bully others, oppress the people, and become moths of the country, absorbing the nutrients of Chen Guo little by little.
Therefore, Chen Guo has been deliberately reducing the title since the previous generation of emperors, and when it comes to this Chen Emperor, he is even more ruthless, the original Kang Wang family, there are dozens of powerful people who have been cut to the end, cutting the knight is the general direction of political correctness, as the emperor, it is unlikely to go against the trend and deny himself.
It was precisely because of this that Tang Ning could not imagine what Emperor Chen would reward him.
Rewarding silver is too vulgar, and he can't use it to reward beautiful women, and it is not Emperor Chen's style of acting.
This matter is not only curious about Tang Ning, but also the entire Jingshi.
In the past six months, he first pacified the rebellion in the south of the Yangtze River, and then stabilized the northwest, solved the threat of the grassland, and saved the country and the people in danger several times.
But if you want to be rewarded, his status is already extremely high, and it is not impossible to go up, but he is still too young, and it takes a few years to complete the path of others for decades, and it is easy to have an unstable foundation, which is not a good thing.
They didn't have to wait long for an answer.
This great victory in the northwest is celebrated by the whole world, and His Majesty is not stingy with all the soldiers.
Among them, Chen Zhou, the former general of the left Xiaowei and the right Lang, will be appointed as the general of Zhonglang from now on, and the former Zhonglang general Xiao Jue, promoted to the general of the left Xiaowei right, and the former general of the left Xiaowei right Tang Ning, in the first battle in the northwest, regardless of his own safety, took the lead in the enemy camp, and promoted the alliance between Chen Guo and the grassland, and made outstanding achievements, and was promoted to the general of the left Xiaowei.
At the same time, he was also made the Marquis of Dingguo.
Dingguo Marquis is the first set up of Chen Guoguo, and it can be seen from the title that this title is not awarded to those who have made great contributions to the country and the country.
This title has always been posthumously, and for decades, there have only been three people who have received this title, including Tang Ning.
The first two are both highly decorated battlefield generals, and they are the legends of the Chen State, who were made princes after his death, and his descendants cannot inherit them.
Downing is the only person in history to receive this title while still alive.
First pacifying the south of the Yangtze River, and then determining the northwest, his merits can fully deserve this title.
From today on, he is the Marquis of Dingguo, and he is also the living legend of today's Chen State.
