Chapter 251: Becoming an Official
Outside the palace gate, Pei Ju caught up with Su Wei and said with a smile: "Thank you Su Xiangguo today." ”
Su Wei knew that Zhang Xuan was Pei Ju's person, and he smiled and said: "It's all old friendships, and you don't have to be polite about a little thing, but the saint wants to promote Zhang Xuan, and Shangshu doesn't seem to agree, what is the reason for this?" ”
"I'm afraid that he will be ambitious and too arrogant, and it's a good thing to give him some setbacks."
"He's alright! Sun Sulie of our clan knew him and respected him very much, saying that he was calm and atmospheric, humble and open-minded, and a person who did great things. ”
"It's just an ordinary general, just a little outstanding, why does Su Xiangguo take him too seriously?" Pei Ju said insincerely.
"Really? has been promoted to Tiger Ben Lang General, but he has not yet married, such a young talent is rare! If Pei Shangshu doesn't value it, I would like to recruit him as my grandson-in-law, haha! ”
Su Wei looked up to the sky and laughed, turned around and walked towards the official room.
Pei Ju also laughed dryly, but he was a little vigilant in his heart, Su Wei reminded himself that it was right, if he didn't tie Zhang Xuan in a special way, then Zhang Xuan would still be poached by others, this was the pillar of the Pei family that he had painstakingly cultivated, and he Pei Ju didn't want to make a wedding dress for others.
After pondering for a while, Pei Ju walked quickly towards the Yushitai, he needed to discuss it with his brother Pei Yun
Zhang Xuan got up before dawn, practiced the halberd in the yard, stabbed and chopped, and the shadow of the halberd in the sky, this is the habit he developed, and he got up every morning to practice the halberd method, although he was already familiar with the Ziyang halberd method, but he firmly believed in the old and learned the new truth, and constantly excavated the subtleties in the halberd method, in the continuous hard practice, he also improved step by step, and realized a deeper realm of martial arts, that is, the control of the force field, two days ago and Wu Yunzhao's competition, he will control the force field to the fullest.
"General!"
One of Zhang Xutuo's personal soldiers rushed quickly. shouted behind his back, causing Jang Hyun to wander slightly, 'Click! With a bang, he cut the branches of a large tree in two. As soon as he put away the halberd, he sighed slightly, but it was a pity.
"What's the matter?" Jang Hyun turned around and asked.
This personal soldier also knew that he had broken Zhang Xuan's martial arts training, and he reported tremblingly: "General Qiyu, just now the marshal sent someone to inform. Let the general, General Luo, and General Qin be sure to rush to the military headquarters before the time. ”
"Got it, let's go!"
The soldiers bowed and retreated, Zhang Xuan looked at the sky, it was already dawn, it was estimated that everyone had already gotten up, he turned around and returned to the store with a halberd.
By the well in the middle courtyard, Luo Shixin was busy washing up with Qin Yong and Pei Xingyan, Zhang Xuan picked up a few horsehair hairs on Qin Yong's body, and said with a smile: "Do you really sleep with the horses?" ”
Qin Yong nodded embarrassedly, and Luo Shixin next to him laughed strangely. "It's a pity it's a stallion!"
Pei Xingyan'poof! With a laugh, the well water in his mouth spewed out, Qin Yong's face was flushed, and he swung his fist at Luo Shixin, Luo Shixin ran away with a smile, Zhang Xuan also laughed, and said to Luo Shixin: "Shixin, come over later, I have something to look for you." ”
"What's the matter? Today I made an appointment with Su Gongzi to go for a drink! ”
Jang Hyun didn't bother to pay attention to him, turned around and walked towards the room. I saw Qin Qiong sitting in front of the window reading a book, and Yu Chigong and You Junda went and didn't know where to go.
"Uncle Bao, what about them?" Zhang Xuan asked with a smile.
"Junda wanted to go shopping for the weapons shop, and Wei Chi also accompanied him."
Qin Qiong put down the book and said with a smile: "I also want to insist on practicing martial arts like you." It's a pity that I couldn't do it, I was a little better when I was younger, but I gave up completely after I got married. ”
"Actually, I can't practice hard every day, I guess I'm the same as Brother Shubao, and I won't be able to stick to it when I get married in the future."
Speaking of starting a family, Qin Qiong smiled curiously and asked, "Yuan Ding." Seriously, have you considered starting a family, even Shixin is busy on a blind date, but you haven't moved at all, we have discussed in private, are you intentionally in your hometown? ”
"My hometown has long been razed to the ground, so what's the point? It's just that I don't want to be bound by marriage so early for the time being, or rather, I haven't met a suitable girl. ”
At this time, Luo Shixin, who was hiding behind the door, jumped out, "When have you met?" I haven't seen you talk to a woman. ”
Zhang Xuan pinched his neck with his backhand and dragged him over, "Stinky boy, is your skin itchy?" ”
Luo Shixin broke free of Zhang Xuan's hand, rubbed his pinched and aching neck, muttered two words in his mouth, and saw Zhang Xuan glaring at him again, so frightened that he hurriedly ran away.
Qin Qiong smiled: "Yuan Ding, what's the matter with you!" ”
"I almost forgot if you didn't remind me."
Zhang Xuan said with a smile: "Just now, the marshal sent someone to inform us that the three of us must rush to the military headquarters before the hour." ”
"Did the marshal say something?"
"The person with the letter didn't say it, but I guess it was the result of the battles of Qinghe and Jibei."
Zhang Xuan knew in his heart that the reason why Zhang Xutuo only notified the three of them was because the three of them were the main generals, while Wei Chigong, Pei Xingyan and Qin Yong were only partial generals, and they were commended by the commander.
Although You Junda is also the main general, he did not have too outstanding achievements in this battle, and he was not named in Zhang Xutuo's battle report, so there will be no special awards.
In Zhang Xutuo's battle report, he Zhang Xuan is the first merit, Qin Qiong's defeat of the Wagang Army is the second merit, Luo Shixin dragging the reinforcements, and defending Wucheng County are the three merits, and the military department only summons the three of them, which is also reasonable.
Qin Qiong got up and said with a smile: "Since that's the case, let's clean up a little!" Go over early and meet with Dashuai. ”
Zhang Xuan and the three met Zhang Xutuo in the courtyard of the military department, and a military department led them to a room to rest, Zhang Xutuo smiled: "I have been waiting for more than a month, and today I finally have a saying, and my heart hanging in the air has also fallen." ”
Luo Shixin smiled and said, "Master, what official have I sealed?" ”
Zhang Xutuo slapped him on the back of the head and scolded with a smile: "You stinky kid thinks about being an official all day long, don't dream, I won't give you much of an official position." ”
Luo Shixin scratched his head and smiled: "It's okay not to give an official position, but you always have to give some other benefits!" ”
At this time, Zhang Xuan asked in a low voice: "Dashuai, do you have anything to say about Wei Chi and Yuan Qing?" ”
Zhang Xutuo nodded, "I just talked to Wei Shangshu, this time it is generally an official promotion, Wei Chi Gong and Pei Xingyan should be promoted to martial arts and brave generals, and the imperial court allows the Flying Eagle Army to gradually expand to 50,000 within three years, but I'm afraid it won't be me to command." ”
Zhang Xutuo was transferred away as expected by Zhang Xuan, and Pei Ju also hinted at him, so Zhang Xuan was not surprised, but Qin Qiong and Luo Shixin were surprised, Qin Qiong hurriedly said: "What do you mean by this handsome?" ”
Zhang Xutuo sighed, "I stayed in the capital, served as the general of the right military guard, the saint treated me well, although he didn't let me lead troops in the place, but he promoted me two levels in a row, gave me a good field and a beautiful house, and also named me the prince of Licheng County, and I was born with this high-ranking official and lord, which is enough!" ”
Zhang Xutuo turned his head, there was a crystal in his eyes, of course he didn't want to leave Qi County, but the holy decree had been issued, how could he disobey, he could only accept it helplessly.
The three of them were silent, and after a while, Qin Qiong asked, "Then who will take over the position of the marshal?" ”
"It should be Deputy Marshal Pei, he treats people generously and has a lot of connections in the imperial court, you will have a better future if you follow him."
Zhang Xutuo quietly wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and smiled at the three of them: "The Holy Lord gave me a house in Daohuafang, you all move over in the afternoon!" After all, it is inconvenient to live in a store. ”
At this time, a soldier hurriedly ran over and said, "The holy decree has arrived, please ask the three generals to go and receive the decree quickly." ”
The three of them hurriedly tidied up their clothes and followed Lang Zhong to the lobby of the military headquarters.
The incense case was placed in the lobby of the Ministry of War, and an official who announced the decree stood solemnly on one side with the holy decree in his arms, and on the other side stood on the side of the Ministry of War, Shangshu Wei Xuan and other high-ranking officials. ”
The three of them hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down, and the proclamator unfolded the holy decree and said loudly: "The generals of Qingzhou have a social foundation in their hearts, bravely serve the country, and have meritorious service to the thieves, and they should be rewarded heavily, Zhang Xuan broke the rebel Zhang Jin, recovered Qinghe County, beheaded 80,000 bandits, and specially named Zhang Xuan as the general of the Tiger Benlang, and added the title of Qinghe County, gave 100 hectares of good land, and Qin Qiong fought against the Wagang bandits in Jibei County."
Zhang Xuan's mind was blank, he didn't listen anymore, Hu Benlang will be the highest rank of Lang General, and the next step is to be promoted to general, Pei Ju is right, the promotion is gratifying, but it also means that he will face the challenge of officialdom risk like Zhang Xutuo.
