Section XXVII

Is Nanning my home? Wu Ming was stunned, although this is not my home, but I have lived here for five years, plus Xiaoqing is here, it is almost the same to say that it is home. He sighed, pointed to his forehead and said to Zhu Xiaolong, "Then you can hang it up." ”

Lu Fang said to the miscellaneous servants who followed him: "What are you doing in a daze? Didn't you hear the commandment? Why don't you put it on for me. ”

Wu Ming smiled secretly. This kid became a waiter in the Ministry of Works, but his temper has risen. A group of people behind him agreed, and hurriedly moved out the staircase chisel and the like, and installed it with all hands and feet. That's what they did, and it was easy to hang a plaque, and after a while, the words "Governor's Palace" were already wrinkled and shining on the door. Zhu Xiaolong looked at it and praised it: "It's so beautiful, it's so majestic." ”

He turned his head and said to Lu Fang: "Lu Shilang, when I am in charge in the future, you can also carve a plaque for our Prime Minister's Mansion, it's good." ”

Lu Fang pursed his lips and said: "Just you stinky boy, you only know how to dance with guns and sticks, and you want to be prime minister in the future, you are beautiful." ”

Zhu Xiaolong smiled, scratched his head and said, "I am not the prime minister, I will be a generalissimo in the future, as majestic as my uncle." Well, in the future, the Zhufu Mansion will be renamed the Generalissimo's Mansion. ”

The word generalissimo is not Zhu Xiaolong's nonsense, but it is true. When the Eastern Han Dynasty was first established, Prime Minister Ouyang Fang served in this position, in charge of all kinds of soldiers and horses. Generalissimo is not often placed, that is, temporarily set up in wartime, and later the Eastern Han Dynasty added a lieutenant to be in charge of the military, and the generalissimo was completely faded in people's field of vision, but the position of marshal was widely spread in the army, and it was also the dream and goal of all soldiers' lives.

Lu Fang also laughed: "Just you, a simple-minded guy with developed limbs, you still want to be a generalissimo, haha." Seeing the two of them laughing and teasing on the side, Wu Ming's mood was much better, and he couldn't help but say: "Lu Shilang, thank you for the plaque, or you will have dinner at my house tonight, what do you think?" ”

Lu Fang said with some hesitation: "Mrs. Xianqing is sick in bed, how can she be disturbed?" "This kid now understands etiquette. Wu Ming was about to say more, but Zhu Xiaolong had already jumped and shouted: "Okay, Xiaolu, you can agree, the Governor's Mansion is not only a sister-in-law who can cook, what is polite." As he spoke, he took Lu Fang's hand and walked in, and said: "I'll tell you, uncle's mount is interesting, you have to bring him good food every time you go, otherwise it won't pay attention to you, if the food is bad, it will lose its temper, what, you don't believe it, I'll take you to see ......"

Wu Ming couldn't help but smile bitterly and couldn't help but shake his head. This kid, although he has grown up, his personality is still the same, and he doesn't know when he will grow up. He turned around and was about to follow the two into the door, when Yang Yi's voice sounded behind him: "Governor!" ”

He turned around and saw Yang Yi running from afar with two personal soldiers, and when he got closer, Wu Ming said curiously: "The day after tomorrow is the day of your wedding, you are not busy at home, feel at ease to be your groom, what are you doing here with me?" ”

Yang Yi already had a good impression of Xiaoyun, but Xiaoyun was Zhu Yuqing's dowry, so he could only suppress that feeling in his heart. As soon as Wu Ming told him about the marriage, this kid was overjoyed, and there was no reason why he shouldn't have it. The marriage between him and Xiaoyun is scheduled for the day after tomorrow, and it is said that he should be busy now, so Wu Ming asked such a question.

Yang Yi's face turned red, and he saluted: "It is precisely because of the wedding the day after tomorrow that there is a reluctant invitation from my subordinates." ”

"Reluctance?" Wu Ming was surprised: "Say, what is the matter?" ”

"On the day of the wedding, I want to ask you to be our witnesses, I don't know what the governor thinks?"

It turned out that this was the case, Wu Ming couldn't help but smile and said: "The witnesses are generally invited to be people who are trusted, respected or respected by both men and women. Between you and me, trust can be counted. But I am afraid that I will not be touched. ”

Yang Yi saluted again and said, "Your Excellency is already the governor of one party, and no one in the world knows it. If you don't deserve it, who else can deserve it. ”

Now Wu Ming's face is very thick, and he was also a little blushing from him at this time, and hurriedly interrupted him: "Okay, okay, don't say it." I agreed to this, so don't worry. ”

Marrying Xiaoyun to Yang Yi already has the element of wooing, and now Yang Yi begged him to be a witness, whether it was out of sincerity or reciprocation, Wu Ming had no reason to refuse. Seeing that Wu Ming agreed, Yang Yi also breathed a sigh of relief: "Then, the subordinates will retire first." ”

He was probably really busy, and hurriedly said goodbye after saying this. Wu Ming was about to save two sentences, when there was another commotion in the distance. Although the roads in the Doge's Palace are wide, the twilight is fading, and if you don't look closely, you really can't see anything. Several people looked up at the same time, and saw more than a dozen people riding like flying, rushing out of the darkness. They were tall horses with bright armor. The first person was shouting from afar: "Excuse me, is it Governor Wu in front of you?" ”

Wu Ming is a second-class member and an important minister of the imperial court, and he shouts from afar, which is actually extremely rude. Wu Ming was a little unhappy in his heart, and frowned and said, "I am." Dare to ask who the general is? ”

More than a dozen people jumped off their horses, still at the head of the road: "The last general's army is a hundred horses, and I have seen the governor." Although he said that he had seen Wu Ming, he only bowed. Wu Ming was even more displeased, and said in a deep voice: "Is there something wrong with General Lang?" Please speak. ”

"Governor Wu has reported for the general post approved by our military department, and the appointment has been made today, and I am here to give orders to the governor."

Although Wu Ming has the right to open the government, the general post reported to him needs to be approved by the Ministry of War, so it is official. Hearing Lang Shou say this, he was also a little stunned in his heart, probably Lang Shou thought that he was here to reward himself, so he was so arrogant. It seems that this guy is also a stunned young man, and he doesn't know how to be a person at all. At this time, when I got closer, I realized that Lang Shou's face was pale, and he looked like a talent, and it was estimated that he was the son of a family who had not experienced setbacks, so he didn't know the severity.

He suppressed his unhappiness, but still said slowly: "General Lang is hard. ”

Lang Shou said: "Here is the list of Chinese and Western generals approved by the Ministry of War. Among them, there are seven people with more than five grades, and one hundred blanks below the fifth grade, and Governor Wu can reward himself. As he spoke, he took out a thick stack of documents from the backpack behind him and handed it to Wu Ming.

"General Xie Lang."

Wu Ming stretched out his hand to take it, but after thinking about it carefully, he suddenly felt that something was wrong. couldn't help but say: "Aren't there six people who have more than five grades?" Why are there seven people, General Lang is not mistaken, right? ”

After the establishment of the Governor's Mansion of China and the West, there were a total of six generals in Wupin, including Sanmu, Diou, Deng Ge, and Zhu Lei, who were all the governors. With the addition of Jian Feiyang and Ge Yi, there are six fourth-rank generals, so Wu Ming has this question.

Lang Shou smiled and said: "Naturally, I am not mistaken, the victory of the Western Expedition this time is not unrelated to the surrender of Liao Sangongzi. Therefore, the prime minister was gracious and specially named him the deputy governor of China and the West to reassure him. ”

"What? Is this really the meaning of the prime minister? ”

Wu Ming couldn't bear it anymore, and there was anger in his heart, and he said loudly: "The victory of the Western Expedition, the third prince of Liao is naturally meritorious, but the governor will ask the court for a reward on his behalf, what does the prime minister mean?" ”

Lang Shou said slowly: "Governor Wu, I'm just giving orders, it's useless for you to get angry at me." Besides, the text of Feng Liao Sangongzi as the deputy governor of China and the West is already on the way, and it may have reached Shuanghui, which has already become a fact. Even if you get angry at me, it's useless. ”

Before Wu Ming could answer, Yang Yi said to the two pro-soldiers: "Go, arrest this guy who lacks discipline, and let him know what it means to be inferior and inferior." ”

Lang Shou was so rude, he had long been a little unaccustomed to it. Seeing Wu Ming's violent jump, he could still hold back, and was ready to arrest this guy first, and let his boss get angry first. His two personal soldiers are both martial artists, and their kung fu training is first-class, and when he heard the sound of "choking", he drew his sword out of the sheath at the same time. Lang Shou took a step back, pressed the hilt of the knife on his waist and said, "What, do you want to rebel." ”

"Don't be rude."

As Wu Ming drank for a while, the two pro-soldiers retreated at the same time and returned their swords into the sheath. They were originally internal martial artists, and they were naturally loyal to Yang Yi, the main general, but they didn't dare to disobey Wu Ming's intentions. Wu Ming raised his head, looked at Lang Shou and said, "General Lang, you go back and tell Dai Bingbu, just say that the prime minister's favor is accepted by the governor." I will reward the third son, Xie Cheng. ”

Although the sword had been returned into the sheath, the two warriors still stood with their swords, looking at Lang Shou with murderous energy. The warriors are all tall and high, but they are not a joke. Lang Shou was furious by several people, and he had already retreated. Hearing Wu Ming say this, he bowed and said, "In this case, I will leave first." Governor Wu, we'll have a meeting later. ”

As he spoke, he rolled over his horse and rode away with a dozen of his subordinates. Seeing that they were going far, Yang Yicai said softly: "Governor, the prime minister is too ruthless, isn't this giving you the right tree." ”

Liao Gang has a heavy army, and he is even more popular in China and the West. Although he did not have the intention of betraying Wu Ming, with his prestige and strength, he was already a serious threat to Wu Ming. After being crowned the governor of China and the West, Wu Ming's original intention was to ask the imperial court to make Liao Gang the governor of the southern version of the province, assisted by Shang Yukun, who was in charge of Chinese and Western political affairs. In this way, it is necessary to surrender military power. As long as Liao Gang has no military power, he will not conflict with himself, and the two sides will be safe. But the prime minister's appointment disrupted his plan, if Liao Gang really accepted the position of deputy governor of China and the West, he would be the second person in the Chinese and Western military, even if he had not argued, Wu Ming was like a bone in his throat, and he was extremely uncomfortable. Moreover, once there are two core figures in China and the West, it is very easy to cause disasters and civil strife.

Wu Ming sighed, and said to Yang Yi after a while: "It's not early, you still have to prepare for marriage, go back quickly." ”

"But." Yang Yi opened his mouth, waiting to say more. Wu Ming continued: "Don't worry, I know Liao Gang very well. The prime minister is planning this, and he must be aware of the stakes. It's not inexplicable, I have my own arrangements. ”

"Yes, the subordinate retired first."

Yang Yigong said respectfully. He had a kind of blind trust in Wu Ming, and when he saw the other party say this, he naturally stopped being wordy.
