Chapter 109: Good intentions
Hearing Zhang Wei's words, Emperor Li Chen was very happy.
He wished that all the young people in the world could be like Zhang Wei to kill the enemy for the country at a critical time, be loyal to the king, and let his country sit a little more stable and longer.
"Wellโโ, yes, yes, if all the young people in my Datang are like you, Datang is worry-free, and the world is worry-free, I will be relieved." After saying this, Emperor Li Chen smiled happily.
In Zhang Wei's mind, the emperors are majestic, serious, and unsmiling, who knows that when he really came to the Tang Dynasty, he found that the emperor in his mind had the wrong impression, the emperor is also a human being, and he also has seven emotions and six desires, and he also laughs and scolds, to be honest, the emperor in front of him is no different from the old Uncle Li next door.
The emperor has encouraged himself, what else can Zhang Wei say, "Thank you for the encouragement of the saint, Zhang Wei will live up to the holy hope and be loyal to the king, the next time the court needs, Zhang Wei will still move forward bravely and go into battle to kill the enemy." โ
Good boy, you can really talk!
Hearing Zhang Wei's words, Emperor Li Chen seemed to be happy, "Zhang Wei is young and promising, and loyal, I am very happy." In this way, since you were originally Zuo Xiaowei's soldier, I don't think you need to go back to Youzhou and continue to stay in Zuo Xiaowei. And you still have military exploits, you deserve to be rewarded, and I will promote you to the right general. โ
The right Lang general is the left Xiaowei officer, and he is under the fifth grade.
At present, Zhang Wei is a military attache from the sixth rank, and he can be the right general of the fifth grade, of course, he is promoted.
From ancient times to the present, being an official is a step by step, don't think that ancient Chinese officials are very good, one step to the sky, overnight fame is actually rare, most officials are step by step to do it, there are few examples of super promotion. Zhang Wei is no exception, although the promotion of officials in the army is faster than that of civilian officials, there are also steps, from low to high, level by level.
In this way, the rules and regulations will not be messed up.
It was already very good for Zhang Wei to be able to get the official position of the fifth rank in just one battle, and no matter how high he was, he had no hope.
What made him happiest was that in this way, he would be able to stay in Chang'an, stay with Wen Tingyun and Yu Youwei. It was really sleepy and met the pillow, hunger met the rice, and he was worried that he would have nothing to do in Chang'an, but he solved all the difficulties and problems at once.
At present, Zhang Wei not only has a house in Chang'an, but also an official position, if he can marry a goddess like Yu Youwei again, all the good things in life will let him catch up.
pie fell from the sky and hit me; The goddess chooses the object, and the result is me again.
"Thank you, God." The emperor solved all of Zhang Wei's problems at once with one sentence, can you not be happy?
"Zhang Zhifang, I heard that you have made outstanding achievements in this battle to exterminate Shanxi, and I am deeply grateful, and I hope that you can help your father continue to take on the important responsibility of Youzhou. The other meritorious soldiers in Youzhou who have reported to you have been promoted to the next level. โ
"Thank you, Lord Long." Zhang Zhifang and Shi Xiong said.
It's time to commend it, it's time to reward it, and it's time to give it up.
"Your Majesty, after three major battles, my ** team bravely killed the enemy, and finally completely eliminated the mountain thieves in Yinshan. This time, the minister came to present the head of the mountain thief Curimo, as well as the mountain taunt table, and asked the saint to take a look. โ
Zhang Zhifang said, and his subordinates presented the head of Curimo and the demotion of the Ao Lost Division.
Emperor Li Chen nodded slightly, then handed it over to the prime minister and the princes to look at, and finally returned to the emperor.
Li Chen ordered the eunuch to accept the table, and said to Zhang Zhifang: "General Zhang's table of reduction, I have accepted it." As for the head of Curimo, I mean to feed it to the dogs, so that it will never be able to turn over. โ
"It's all up to Your Majesty." Zhang Zhifang arched his hand again and said: "Your Majesty, my lords, in addition to presenting the surrender table and the head of Curimo to the emperor and all the lords, the last general came this time to present the head of the Surrender Table and Curimo, and also captured the leader of the Ao Lost Tribe, one of the five tribes of Shanxi, and escorted him back to Chang'an, asking Your Majesty to send it down." Someone is coming, bring the leader of the Okusha tribe up. โ
Good guys, there's still a mouth!
Hearing Zhang Zhifang's words, all the ministers looked out of the hall in surprise. Soon, the leader of the Ao Lost Department walked into the Hanyuan Hall of the Tang Dynasty under the leadership of two palace guards.
"Kneel down โโโ" walked up to the emperor, and the two guards scolded and ordered the leader of the Shanxi Ao lost tribe to kneel.
"Hmphโโโ, I'm the leader of the lost tribe of Shanxiao, and no one wants me to kneel except our king." The leader of the Shan Xi Ao Lost Division raised his head and said with a disdainful expression.
Along the way, he already knew what would be the result waiting for him, kneeling or not, in the end, it was a death, why not be a hero and die heroically.
"Good guy, it's really tough!" Seeing that the leader of the Shan Xi Ao lost tribe refused to kneel to himself, the Tang Emperor Li Chen was somewhat surprised, and even said to the leader of the Shan Xi Ao lost tribe with some admiration: "I am the son of heaven of the Tang Dynasty, and I have the right to kill and take it, if you kneel to me, you can avoid death." โ
"Hahaha, hahaha, Emperor Datang, you are wrong, after this battle, most of my Shanxi people were killed, and everyone died, how could I live alone. I only hate that I can't avenge my people, and I can't kill the enemies who poison my people with my own hands. I came to Chang'an today to see the face of the enemy. Now that I've seen it, why fear death? Kill if you want, scrape if you want, I will never say anything. "It is clear that the leader of the Okushi tribe is also a tough man, and although he may survive by kneeling, he chooses to die standing up.
"Your Majesty, Shan Xi is a barbarian man, and the top of the main hall dares to despise the Holy Lord, and the minister asks the Holy Lord to order him to be beheaded as an example, and see if anyone dares to defy the Holy Lord and the court in the future." Seeing this, Ling Huxuan immediately went out and suggested to Emperor Li Chen.
"Pull it down and wait for disposal." Li Chen knew that since the enemy had already held the belief that he would die, it would be useless to say more, so he ordered the leader of the Ao Lost Department to be taken out of the main hall.
"General Zhang, tell me your opinion?" Although the ministers suggested that the head of the Ao Lost Department be put to death, Emperor Li Chen still wanted to hear the opinion of Zhang Zhifang, the deputy envoy of Youzhou Jiedu.
After all, this gift was brought by Zhang Zhifang and others from Youzhou, and if you want to kill or chop, you must at least listen to people's opinions.
Zhang Zhifang arched his hand and said: "The minister led the crowd to come to offer victory today, everything is a gift to the saint, no matter how the saint disposes of it, the minister and others have no opinion." โ
Zhang Zhifang knew that when he asked for his opinion, His Majesty the Emperor already had an idea, and asking himself was just a formality, so why should he be too serious?
Sure enough, after listening to Zhang Zhifang's words, Emperor Li Chen spoke, "Since the mountain thieves refuse to submit to my Tang Dynasty, then fulfill them." In the afternoon, the leader of the Ao Lost Department was beheaded at the mouth of the West Market. โ
If you want to kill, you can kill it, but killing people at Xishikou is a bit unexpected.
Chop at the mouth of the West Market?
Hearing such news, Zhang Wei was first shocked, what kind of place is the West Market, it is the most prosperous street market in Chang'an of the Tang Dynasty, the emperor actually wants to kill people at the entrance of the West Market, isn't he afraid of affecting the appearance of the city?
But if you think about it carefully, the emperor's old man's disposition is too exquisite.
The reason why it was placed in the West Market to kill people was also carefully considered, what is the West Market, that is the place where foreigners live the most, and killing people in this place can play a role in killing a hundred people.
You can see clearly the foreign friends who came to Chang'an to do business, the leaders of Shanxi who have always been disobedient have been killed by my Tang Dynasty at the mouth of the West Market, you foreigners from the Western Regions, can you still be dishonest?
It seems to be inadvertent, but it is too careful.
This time, Zhang Wei's admiration for the wisdom of the ancients is like a surging river.
