Section 23 One step to the sky

Zhang Ruming changed shotguns overnight, from a blessing master with no power and no position, to a third-grade member of the court, this happiness came too suddenly, so he couldn't accept it.

Emperor Yuning coughed twice, which meant to remind Shangguan Heavenly Master, hurry up and receive the order to thank him, so that he can proceed to the next step. How could Zhang Ruming be immersed in happiness and couldn't extricate himself, thinking about how to go home to repair the ancestral tomb. Emperor Yuning had no choice but to hum twice in embarrassment, and simply got up and moved to the Heart Cultivation Hall to discuss the matter.

As soon as Emperor Yuning left, Yu Ban glared at Feng Zhun, which means that it is really not the right time for you to play this game. Feng Zhun had a bitter face, not knowing what he had done wrong, so he had to arch his hand at Shangguan Heavenly Master.

"Congratulations to the Celestial Master, congratulations to the Celestial Master."

"Oh~, what's that, rejoicing and rejoicing." Zhang Ruming reacted at this time.

Wei Tong smiled bitterly, "I said Heavenly Master, you are the one who received the order to thank Enna." Otherwise, the old slave will not be able to give you this will. ”

Zhang Ruming was stunned for a moment, and shouted loudly at Emperor Yuning, who walked out of the back door, pulling his neck and cocking his toes, "Minister~ Thanks, bless my emperor and the gods to live together~Coax Nini Da~!" ”

Wei Dong's expression was as if he had eaten two catties of Xiang, and he said in his heart that he had never seen anyone standing to receive the order of gratitude since ancient times. If it were someone else, it would be a great sin of disrespect. No way, who makes the family the little brother of the gods. Even His Majesty didn't pursue it, so why should he bother with it.

In the Heart Cultivation Palace, Emperor Yuning looked at Feng Zhun with a stern face, "Feng Aiqing, how is the battle at the border pass of the Northern Ming Dynasty, are there any casualties?" ”

Don't look at the main hall just now, Yu Ning didn't ask, but the war is a matter of the country, and Emperor Yu Ning doesn't dare to despise the issue of war.

Feng Zhun lowered his head, and said in his heart What should I say about this, to put it more seriously, if he sends someone to check the war situation, it will be a crime of bullying the king. If it is only said that there is friction between each other, it does not match the fold. Feng Zhun glanced at Yu Ban secretly, and when it came to this, he could only bite the bullet and say it.

"Back to Your Majesty, although there was a dispute at the border pass of the Northern Ming Dynasty, the soldiers stationed at the border pass fought bravely to kill and defeat the invading enemy. Judging from the reported battle situation, there have been no casualties among our officers and soldiers. After repelling the enemy forces, the two sides are now in a stalemate. The minister thought that 10,000 soldiers and horses should be dispatched from the northern camp to meet the situation, just in case. ”

"What's the matter, there are signs of mobilizing the army on the Beiming side?" Emperor Yuning was shocked.

"This ~ not yet." Feng Zhun said cautiously.

As soon as Emperor Yuning heard that there were no casualties, and the other party did not transfer troops, it seemed that the war was not big, and the soldiers at the border should still be able to suppress it. Emperor Yuning breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Yu Ban and asked.

"What does Yu Aiqing think?"

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister feels that since there are no major casualties at the border pass, it means that the war is not very tense. At this time, the deployment of troops and horses from the northern camp will invisibly increase a huge expense. There is even the possibility of expanding the war. The minister thought that since the war was not urgent, and there was no sign of the Beiming army, it was better to send an envoy to the border to appease the soldiers and mediate with the Beiming. ”

Yu Ban knew that there was no war, it was simply a fact he made up last night. If he really wants to send a large army and increase the burden of military spending, then the lies he weaves will be exposed. In addition, Yu Ban is planning a poisonous plan in his head, and it is not appropriate to send troops to support him at this time.

Emperor Yuning thought for a moment and felt that what Yu Ban said also made sense. However, in terms of armaments, he still hoped that Feng Zhun would come to get an idea, after all, he was a squire of the military department.

"Feng Aiqing, what do you think?"

Feng Zhun glanced at Yu Ban and arched his hand and said, "Back to Your Majesty, the minister feels that Lord Xiangguo has considered it thoroughly. Since there has not yet been a major war, let's first appease the border soldiers, and the two sides will mainly mediate. In addition, the ministers ordered the two garrisons of Mingyuguan and Lanchengguan to be on standby and respond to the border of the Northern Ming Dynasty at any time. ”

"Okay, since the two Aiqing have the same opinion, let's do it. Yu Aiqing, which Aiqing do you think can take on this important responsibility? Emperor Yuning asked.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that ~ Shangguan Heavenly Master will definitely be able to take on this heavy task."

After Yu Ban finished speaking, not only Emperor Yuning, but even Feng Zhun was stunned. Feng Zhunxin said that this matter was originally fake, and you let Shangguan Xuanwu appease him, isn't this asking for trouble. Among the people present, only Shangguan Heavenly Master stood aside and didn't know what to think in his head, with a sweet smile on his face.

Seeing Shangguan Xuanwu standing stupidly and not refusing, Emperor Yuning smiled bitterly, "Yu Aiqing, Shangguan Heavenly Master has no experience in handling government affairs, I'm afraid I can't take on this responsibility." Moreover, this time I went to the border to appease the soldiers on the one hand, and it was more important to observe the intentions of the Beiming side. I think it's better to send a member of the military department. ”

"Your Majesty, Shangguan Heavenly Master prays for the blessing of the world, and he is also the Heavenly Survey Supervisor who His Majesty has just canonized. The minister felt that it was appropriate for him to appease. It can not only represent the holy will, but also pray for my border children, and I believe that the border soldiers will be grateful to Dade. Yu Ban said.

Feng Zhun saw that Yu Ban was so resolute, although he didn't understand Yu Ban's intentions, but he, Feng Zhun, had always advanced and retreated with Yu Ban, and immediately said.

"Your Majesty, the minister seconded the proposal."

Emperor Yuning frowned, and looked at Shangguan Heavenly Master who was still in a daze, "Shangguan Aiqing, are you willing to work hard?" ”

Emperor Yuning said in his heart that you kid is saying something, and I can help you push it off. Guan Xuanwu didn't know anything about the war, and Emperor Yuning didn't dare to be sloppy.

After coming to the Heart Cultivation Palace, Zhang Ruming didn't listen to what Yu Ban and the others said at all. In his mind, he was excitedly calculating how big an official this Sky Survey Prison was, how much money he could take, and how many bribes he could take every month. Suddenly hearing Emperor Yuning call his name, Zhang Ruming thought that he didn't receive the order to thank him, so he fell to his knees with a poof.

"The ministers patrol the heavenly eunuchs, and the heavenly master is given the heavenly master Xuanwu, and the decree is grateful."

Emperor Yuning rolled his eyes angrily, the border war is not trivial, you will receive the order and thank you if you know something? Yu Ban showed a smile that the conspiracy had succeeded, and said with his hand.

"Your Majesty, since Shangguan Heavenly Master has already received the decree, he is not in a hurry for the next day or two, it is not too late to wait for His Majesty to go after the enthronement ceremony."

Emperor Yuning was a little unhappy in his heart, but it was inconvenient to show it in person. Emperor Yuning glared at Shangguan Xuanwu fiercely, and said in a deep voice, "Since this is the case, then Feng Aiqing should pay more attention." The confrontation between the two armies is no trivial matter, and any situation must be sent to me as soon as possible. ”

"Obey."

"Well, you guys go down, there are some things I want to talk to Shangguan Aiqing."

"The minister retires~!"

Yu Ban and Feng Zhun withdrew from the Heart Cultivation Palace, and before leaving, Yu Ban glanced at Shangguan Heavenly Master. For some reason, a sour breath rose in Yu Ban's heart, this kind of favor was exclusive to him before. It's good now, this kid actually occupies the favor of Emperor Yuning alone.

There were only two people left in the Heart Cultivation Palace, Emperor Yuning and Zhang Ruming, and Emperor Yuning looked at Zhang Ruming and said.

"Shangguan Aiqing, do you know why I named you an official position?"

"That must be Your Majesty's discernment, seeing that the ministers are loyal and selfless, and have a heart that is willing to suffer for the people of the world." Shangguan Tianshi's face was not red, and his heart was not beating.

"Hehe, you really dare to say it. Shangguan, my world seems to be peaceful, but in fact, there is a hidden murderous motive. I am for you to be my eyes and ears, and take a good look at those courtiers, which are loyal ministers and which ones are traitors. Emperor Yuning looked at Shangguan Heavenly Master gently.

"Your Majesty doesn't have to worry, as long as there is a minister, whoever dares to be disloyal, the minister will ~ pray to the gods of the heavens to kill him."

Emperor Yuning smiled, "This is my business, and it has nothing to do with the gods and spirits of the heavens. Didn't I give you the sword of Shang Fang, why bother the gods of the heavens again. ”

"Yes, yes, then~ clicked him with Shang Fang's sword. Of course, this can only be done with the consent of His Majesty, and the minister is to scare and scare them. ”

Emperor Yuning nodded with satisfaction, "Shangguan, I trust you and hope you don't let me down." ”

"The gods can learn from it, and the ministers will never fail Your Majesty. By the way, Your Majesty, can my five hundred black-armored guards recommend someone to lead the troops? Shangguan Xuanwu suddenly asked.

"Oh? Do you have the right person? Emperor Yuning was stunned.

"Chen thinks that my righteous brother Duan Lang is very suitable. Moreover, this person is brave and invincible, and he is also loyal to His Majesty. Shangguan Xuanwu said with an oath.

"Duan Lang? He~ Isn't he the righteous son of Xining Hou? What do you think is appropriate? Emperor Yuning asked suspiciously.

Shangguan Xuanwu smiled, "Your Majesty, in fact, that Duan Lang ~ Chen used to walk the rivers and lakes ~ Oh, I knew him when the people were aware of the suffering, he was a mountain village man." This kid accidentally saved Fang Jiye's daughter, so he entered the door of the Marquis of Xining. However, Xining Hou didn't have a good heart, just let him be a substitute for the dead. ”

Shangguan Xuanwu said, adding fuel and vinegar to Bai Ruokong's deduction of Duan Lang's basin that day. When Emperor Yuning heard this, he smiled and said.

"It seems that Zhao Li, Marquis of Xining, has long been guarding against this step. Since Shangguan Aiqing thinks he is available, let's stay by my side. I trust you and give you the right to reward those around you. However, you must report to me for approval. ”

"Minister~ Shangguan Xuanwu, thank Your Majesty Longen, may Your Majesty the Emperor live with the gods." Shangguan Xuanwu bowed happily.

"Well, you step back first. After the seventeenth year of my enthronement is over, you will set off for the northern border. ”

"The northern border? What am I doing there? ”

"You~!" Emperor Yuning was so angry that he really wanted to pick up the inkstone on the imperial case and smash it over.

Emperor Yuning rolled his eyes and said what had just happened depressedly. Knowing that he was going to appease, Shangguan Xuanwu didn't care, and nodded happily in agreement.

With the emperor as his backer, Shangguan Xuanwu's waist pole suddenly became tough, and even the posture of walking was different from usual. Zhang Ruming wanted to hurry back and tell Duan Lang about this happy event, although he hated to strangle Duan Lang to death, but after thinking about it, there was only Duan Lang who could speak his heart in the entire Kyoto.

Zhang Ruming is not stupid, there are five hundred black-armored guards in his hands, and the head of this leader will definitely be stared at by various factions in the DPRK and China. The reason why he recommended Duan Lang was because he didn't want to install people from other factions and His Majesty's eyes.

Don't look at Zhang Ruming's hatred of Duan Lang, but he admires Duan Lang's style of acting, at least the two of them can say everything. Besides, apart from Duan Lang, he really doesn't have any friends. Besides, Duan Lang desperately protected him last night, and Zhang Ruming was also really grateful.
