Chapter 37: Promotions
Zhao Zi'an was stunned.
General Zhu actually took this matter to open the knife? Although he counted the credit for the big break of the serial village on his head, he also praised Wei Changfeng vigorously, and even said "Clever plans are stacked and more miraculous feats are made", this kind of evaluation, it is not too much to suggest promotion, right?
"The last general thinks that Wei Shi has made great contributions and deserves to be rewarded." He replied, this time, he raised Wei Changfeng's credit to another level.
Zhu Ling threw the official document on the table: "General Zhao, the commander commands an army of 100,000, there are many things, you know that you can decide the promotion under the generals, why do you want to write it in the official document and report it?" Is it difficult for you to do your duties for the commander? ”
Zhao Zi'an could only smile bitterly.
This General Zhu is really busy enough. How could he not know this? But in that official document, did General Zhu decide to promote Changfeng to the post of guard? He wrote this content in the official document, which was completely polite, and he couldn't write "The last general has decided to promote Wei Changfeng and hereby notifies him", right?
"General Zhu," Zhao Zi'an replied with a sigh of relief, "The last general's official document wants to ask General Zhu to commend Wei Shi Chang in the name of the general at the same time, and as for the promotion, the last general can naturally handle it." ”
Zhu Ling smiled.
Zhao Zi'an, you have been tricked! He said secretly in his heart.
Before coming into contact with Zhu Ling, ten out of ten people would think that Zhu Ling was a bold and rough person, but after contacting Zhu Ling, ten out of ten people would admit that appearance would deceive people. Now, this Zhao Zi'an is about to come to the same conclusion.
"General Zhao," Zhu Ling said slowly, "Since this Wei Changfeng is so great, why are you only promoting him by one level?" Since his merit can only be promoted to one level, why do you need to be commended by Ben Shuai? Zhu Ling finally threw out the key question, and sneered in his heart as he spoke.
He didn't care what level Wei Changfeng was promoted to, but he cared about how Zhao Zi'an was so embarrassed in front of him!
Zhao Zi'an was speechless for a while.
Yesterday, it took him a long time to write this document, at least three times longer than it took him to write other documents, because he wrote this document three times.
He first wrote the words "petition to promote him to the capital of the capital" at the end of Wei Changfeng's promotion, that is, he was promoted three levels in a row, which was already the largest range of promotions. However, after he finished writing, he hesitated for a moment, then pulled the paper again, rewrote the official document, Wei Changfeng's promotion sentence wrote "Petition to promote him to a small capital", and when he put the official document in a bag and was about to ask someone to send it out, he took out the official document again and destroyed it, and wrote the words "Petition to promote him to a centurion" in the official document written for the third time.
Under his pen, in just a moment, Wei Changfeng's level was lowered by two levels, from the possible "Dadutong" to the centurion. However, he didn't expect that this General Zhu would actually find a problem with his military position in his petition, this General Zhu is really careful, and his appearance is completely different.
"What the hell is going on?" Zhu Ling asked again, this time his tone was not so polite, "General Zhao, is this Wei Changfeng not as much credit as you say, or do you intend to suppress his position?" ”
Zhao Zi'an's head buzzed.
These two charges are not small. Either he falsely reported his military exploits and supported his henchmen, or he treated the meritorious soldiers badly, no matter which one of them was enough to demote him.
"Neither!" Zhao Zi'an hurriedly denied it.
Zhu Ling didn't ask any more questions, just a meaningful "Hmm~~~", his eyes looked at Zhao Zi'an fixedly, at this time, silence is better than sound, this invisible pressure made Zhao Zi'an's forehead sweat.
There was a moment of silence in the tent.
Zhu Ling pushed the official document and said coldly: "General Zhao, this official document can't be approved by Ben Shuai, you take it back and think about it!" ”
Zhao Zi'an felt his heart beat faster. He couldn't take this official document. This is an official document that was returned! Of course, it is a mistake for the official document to be returned, but it is not a crime, the problem is that what is implied here are the two possibilities that Zhu Lingfang just said: either it is to falsely report its military exploits and support its henchmen, or it is to treat meritorious soldiers badly. If he takes it, won't he be convicted of this crime?
He hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth, and finally said, "Wei Shichang has made a great contribution, and this is absolutely not false. If according to the practice of our dynasty, even if you are promoted to three levels, it is also possible, but Wei Shichang can only be promoted by one level! ”
Zhu Ling was stunned. He didn't expect Zhao Zi'an to answer like this, he couldn't help but be angry in his heart, and asked sharply: "What are you doing?" Do you want to change the example of my dynasty? ”
Zhao Zi'an heard that Zhu Ling had actually raised the matter to the level of rebellion, and knew that he couldn't pass the test if he was not telling the truth, he looked back and saw that there was no third person in the tent except him and Zhu Ling, so he stepped forward and said in a low voice: "Wei Shichang is the descendant of Wei Qing, a famous general of the former Han Dynasty!" ”
Zhu Ling's expression suddenly froze. He looked at Zhao Zi'an and seemed to ask, "Is this true?" ”
Zhao Zi'an just nodded solemnly and did not speak.
Zhu Ling slowly sat up straight, stretched out his hand to pick up the official document, read it again from beginning to end, and spoke again: "Well, Wei Shichang has made a lot of contributions to this battle, and General Zhao has submitted a petition for promotion, which is a matter of course. Ben Shuai has always made a clear distinction between meritorious deeds, meritorious deeds must be rewarded, and crimes must be punished. Since this Wei Shi Chang has this merit, he will do it as General Zhao invited, and in addition, the commander will reward him with a thousand taels of silver in recognition of his merit. Well, this reward is also for General Zhao to pay for it. ”
Zhao Zi'an Daqi. The so-called merit is not lost, General Zhu gave a reward of silver, of course, to get a good reputation, what is it for him Zhao Zi'an to issue it on his behalf? It stands to reason that General Zhu should personally send it, right? He hurriedly said: "For the matter of rewarding silver, please ask General Zhu to do it himself, and the last general will not dare to plunder the beauty." ”
Zhu Ling suddenly raised his head from the official document and stared at Zhao Zi'an viciously!
