――――――――――――――――――――

When Zhang Mu heard this, he hurriedly ordered someone to burn incense and set up a case, and then hurriedly changed his clothes, and was carried outside Xuanrong Hall in a hurry.

At this moment, the officials who delivered the decree outside Xuanrong Hall did not enter, but stood in the compound and waited, and Zhang Mu saw that there were only five or six people who came to deliver the decree.

The leader was white-faced and beardless, and he looked very young, so he knew that he was a eunuch.

The ancients were influenced by Confucianism, and their parents could not easily damage their bodies, so normal people had beards, but only eunuchs did not keep them, because he couldn't grow them.

He was followed by the Jinyi Guard, although he was not wearing the official uniform of the Jinyi Guard, but looking at their figure and bearing, the average soldier did not have the same momentum as them.

Zhang Mu hurriedly asked people to help him to the back of the long case, and then knelt on the futon.

At this moment, the eunuch asked, "Are you Zhang Mu?" ”

"In the lower Jinyi Weiqi, I always meet Lord Qincha." When the eunuch went out of the palace to pass the decree, it was a messenger, and Zhang Mu naturally did not dare to slack off.

At this moment, the eunuch turned around and held the tray from the Jinyi guard on one side, unleashed the holy decree, slowly unfolded it, and shouted at the top of his voice: "Zhang Mu, the chief flag officer of the Jinyi Guard, receives the order." ”

"Carried by Mukden

The emperor said: The house of loyalty and filial piety, the court training has long been in the righteousness of the rope and the martial arts, and the edict is awe-inspiring, and there is no light in front of it. Er's father Zhang Guran, a mellow and simple man, a rich family, a good villager, a commendable righteousness, and a latent virtue. Lieutenant of the Martial Arts. His son Zhang Muzhi, brave and loyal, broke the scroll through the scriptures, both civil and military, and made efforts to repay his achievements but did not praise his life. Lieutenant of the Cavalry of Ziteryun and promoted to Captain of Chengxin. Collar brocade clothes and guard hundreds of households, make up python robes and jade belts, and show spring knives. Jiaer Guanrong, Yongxi Heavenly Favor.

Decree Ming Hongwu 23 April 29

Treasure"

When Zhang Mu heard this, he hurriedly buckled his head and said: "Minister Zhang Muzhi, forever miss the grace of heaven, long live Your Majesty, long live, long live." ”

The eunuch handed over the holy decree to Zhang Mu, and ordered someone to put the python robe and jade belt and Xiuchun knife on the long case, and then hurriedly helped Zhang Mu.

The little guys behind him hurriedly helped Zhang Mu up, and Zhang Mu hurriedly asked, "This father-in-law's surname?" ”

This eunuch is not very flamboyant, bowed his waist and smiled: "Zhang Baihu doesn't have to be polite. The surname of the miscellaneous family is Wang. ”

"Princess, go in and serve tea." Zhang Mu hurriedly greeted, and Eunuch Wang waved his hand and said, "No need, the miscellaneous family is going to Yifeng Township to announce the decree, and it is inconvenient to stay for a long time." ”

Speaking of this, the prince said quietly: "Your Majesty has another secret decree. After speaking, he handed Zhang Mu a fire paint envelope.

Zhang Mu hurriedly took out a thick stack of treasure money from his sleeve, secretly stuffed it to his father-in-law, and whispered: "Father-in-law has worked hard, from Nanjing to Jiangsu and Zhejiang, thousands of miles away, this means, you take it to drink tea." ”

When Wang Gonggong saw Zhang Mu's age, he was so reasonable, with a pink face, he smiled like a flower and said, "Lord Zhang is polite." The miscellaneous family has served His Majesty for some days, but it is rare for Lord Zhang to get meritorious service at such an age, the key is this python robe, which is still making a lot of noise, tsk, this glory is unique, and I may be able to meet in Nanjing in the future and say goodbye. ”

Zhang Mu hurriedly sent it to the outside of the gate, and when the gang walked far away and could no longer be seen, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhang Wenguang asked curiously: "Young Master, what is this Long Live Lord rewarding?" Why can't the little one understand a word? ”

"The emperor first rewarded my father with a military attache from the sixth grade, which can be regarded as a grace to my father who is loyal to the country, but because of my father's identity, I didn't say it explicitly.

As for me, the Cloud Cavalry Guard is a rank, a reward only for civil and military ministers who have made outstanding military achievements or have made meritorious contributions to governing the country. Second only to knighthood. It's my reward for sacrificing my life to save the driver.

Chengxin Lieutenant is a military general loose rank, is the sixth grade, the so-called loose rank, where you enter the officialdom, do the imperial court officials, you can get the "loose rank" according to the grade, the name of the loose rank is associated with the grade. Jinyi Wei Baihu is the sixth grade, that is, the six grades are scattered. Zhang Mu explained.

Thinking about this scattered rank and the current deputy section, it is a truth, the level of the main hall is a truth, and a hundred households are official positions, just like the director of the bureau and the county magistrate, like this. Therefore, when the ancients were officials, there was a long list of things ahead.

As for the rank and the title, it is almost the same thing, but when the Ming Dynasty was founded, those famous generals who fought countless battles killed countless enemies before they mixed up a title, and they only saved the emperor, but it was far from the point of being knighted, so they were given the rank.

When Zhang Wenguang heard this, he immediately pursed his lips and whispered: "This majesty is too picky, young master, you sacrificed your life to save his old man, so you became a six-rank general." It's a bit of a loss. ”

"Don't you say nonsense, didn't you see the python robe and Xiuchun knife specially given? That's a great honor. Zhang Mu said.

"Isn't it just a piece of clothing and a knife, how powerful is it?" Zhang Wenguang asked.

"What do you know, the python clothes have a single python, that is, embroider two rows of python patterns on the left and right of the placket. There is a sitting python, that is, in addition to the two rows of pythons on the left and right plackets, the front python pattern is added on the front chest and back, which is the same as the appearance of the dragon robe.

The difference is that the dragon robe is yellow, the python robe is crimson, and the flying python on it has one less claw than the dragon, which is a supreme grace. Wearing a python robe is to see a first-class officer, and he has to be polite. As for the Xiuchun knife, it is only the people who have made great contributions to the Jinyi Guard that they are rewarded. Zhang Mu said with a smile.

When Zhang Wenguang heard this, although he didn't understand how powerful it was, he felt very remarkable in his heart because he wore the same clothes as the emperor.

Zhang Mu hurriedly returned to the house, enshrined the holy decree, climbed on the bed, these rewards were the rest, from the general flag to a hundred households, which is equivalent to jumping a level, and there are also a hundred households in the middle from the six grades, and the award is a supreme honor, but compared to the work of saving the driver, it is a little insufficient.

Zhu Yuanzhang, as a generation of Ming Jun, naturally has his reason for rewarding, and then gives some gold and silver playthings to offset the shortfall, Zhang Mu feels that it is understandable, but this python robe and jade belt are a little too much.

Zhang Mu pondered, it should be Zhu Yuanzhang's reward should be very heavy, but in the end, he weighed it and felt that he was still young, so he was held high and low, and only gave the six-rank rank, and later gave a python robe and jade belt to offset the merit of saving the driver, which is of far-reaching significance, and Zhang Mu felt that the python robe and jade belt last time were related to secret letters.

Then Zhang Mu took out Zhu Yuanzhang's secret letter, carefully opened it, and after a while, Zhang Mu's mood was heavier than going to the grave.

Zhu Yuanzhang's secret letter explained three things, the first is to thoroughly investigate the White Lotus Bandit Sect in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and the key is to thoroughly investigate the officials who collude with the imperial court, which makes Zhang Mu a little headache, but it is understandable.

The second one is even more tricky, ordering Zhang Mu to supervise the Jiangdong Wei to fight against the Japanese, anyway, Jinyiwei is doing this, so forget it.

The key is the third thing, to ask Zhang Mu to participate in this year's township test.

The first two things are enough, Zhang Mu also understands that this is the real reason why Zhu Yuanzhang gave Zhang Mu the jade belt of the python robe, because he is afraid that he will not be able to suppress the situation, with the python robe Xiuchun knife, it is another matter, after all, this assassination of Zhu Yuanzhang involves more than just Mao Xiang's problem.

This third piece, Zhu Yuanzhang insisted on letting Zhang Mu participate in the township test, looking like taking off his pants and farting, this is an extra move, after all, Zhang Mu is already a six-rank general.

But the meaning is deep in the back, after participating in the township test, he will be promoted, Zhang Mu must go to Nanjing next year to take the exam, or even the palace exam. After that, Zhu Yuanzhang would give him a serious birth and let him stay in Nanjing openly.

In this, Zhang Mu faintly felt that Zhu Yuanzhang was going to do it again to Jinyiwei, and all the intentions were to let Zhang Mu get rid of Jinyiwei as soon as possible and give Zhang Mu a birth again, which was an extra favor, indicating that Zhu Yuanzhang had a protective heart for Zhang Mu.

At this moment, Zhang Mu smiled helplessly, he had always wanted to hide far away from Nanjing, but now it was hopeless.

Now I can only rush forward to see if it is a blessing or a curse.

"Young master, the wind is blowing." Zhang Wenguang stood outside the window and shouted with the window closed.

"Well, it's windy." Zhang Mu said coldly.
