Chapter 181: Capture the General
"What Wang Aiqing said is that Hua'an should indeed be a general." Sima Yan responded, bowed his head and muttered for a moment, and said, "Just seal a captive general, how about it." ā
"Your Majesty." Director Wang hurriedly responded.
Han Qian was naturally very happy when he saw that Sima Yan had given Hua'an the title of general, but even being promoted several levels was not good for Hua'an's growth, good generals were promoted step by step, and one step to the sky would inevitably be criticized.
"Your Majesty, Hua An is just a captain, and he was directly promoted to a general who was captured, but I am afraid that it will be difficult to convince the public, and I hope the emperor will think twice." Han Qian clenched his fists and persuaded.
"Yes! Your Majesty, it is enough to be crowned a lieutenant this time, and it is not too late to make meritorious contributions in the future, and then to be crowned a general. A minister followed.
When Sima Yan heard this, he was quite unhappy in his heart, and the little memory left in his childhood made him have a good impression of Hua'an, and he longed to be a general with a bigger title, but he was afraid that the ministers of the court and the central government would oppose him, so he said that he wanted to capture the relatively low title of general.
And the ministers of the DPRK and China actually had some objections, and the one who took the lead in opposing it was actually Hua'an's boss Han Qian, which made Sima Yan a little crying and laughing, other generals tried their best to let their subordinates get the highest possible reward, but Han Qian's approach was the opposite, it was difficult to pretend to resign.
"General Han, Hua'an has made outstanding achievements, and he is a subordinate of the general, how can it be difficult to convince the public, the general is too modest." Sima Yan praised Hua'an loudly.
"Your Majesty, the so-called speed is not reached, everything must be done step by step, and it may not be a blessing to ascend to the sky in one step." Han Qian told the reason.
"This ......" Sima Yan hesitated when he heard this.
Seeing this, Situ Wang Dao on the side hugged his fists and said: "Your Majesty, the old minister has a building yƬ, I don't know whether to talk about it or not." ā
"Wang Aiqing, but it doesn't hurt to say it." Sima Yan has always had great respect for Wang Dao, a veteran of the Three Dynasties.
Wang Dao took a step forward and said softly: "Your Majesty, it is better to seal Hua'an's vacant position as a general, temporarily lead the real power of the captain in the army, and then entrust the real power of the general to the prestige of the public, which can be regarded as the gradual progress in General Han's mouth." ā
After Director Wang finished speaking, he smiled at Han Qian.
Such a ingenious construction made Sima Yan's eyes light up, he looked at Director Wang, and praised softly: "What Wang Aiqing said is extremely true, such a reward for the best of both worlds, no second person in the world can come up with it!" ā
"I have made up my mind, Feng Hua'an is the general who is captured, temporarily takes the position of the camp master, and the reward is 10,000 gold, and the rice is 1,000 deniers." Sima Yan looked at Han Qian and said loudly.
"The last general, Han Qian, on behalf of Hua'an, Xie Huangshang Longen." Han Qian hurriedly knelt down and thanked him.
"General, hurry up." Sima Yan helped Han Qian up, looked at the ministers in the court, and said softly: "You Aiqing have something else to do." ā
The ministers of the court and the central government were silent.
"Retreat." Sima Yan sighed lightly and withdrew from the main hall.
"Congratulations to the emperor." The ministers clasped their fists and flicked their fists, turned around and slowly left the main hall.
As soon as he left the palace hall, Han Qian took a big step and left in a hurry.
"General Han walks slowly, wait for the old man." Director Wang panted and chased a few steps behind.
When Han Qian saw Director Wang calling for him, he immediately stopped, turned around and said, "Lord Situ, do you have any advice?" ā
"Huhuhu......"
Director Wang was too old, and he gasped after just a few steps, and his breathing slowed down a little, and then he asked, "General Han, it's good for the disciples to be in the army." ā
Seeing that Director Wang cared so much about his apprentice, Han Qian immediately hugged his fists and thanked: "Thank you Lord Situ for your care, Hua'an recently went home on leave and has never returned to the camp." ā
"Oh, in the capital, so good, so good." Director Wang looked extremely happy.
Seeing that Wang Dao was so happy, Han Qian was confused, Hua'an has been following him all these years, and he has not had much contact with Situ Mansion, why does Wang Dao care about Hua'an so abnormally, and he is still in the main hall, trying his best to win the title of general for Hua'an.
Just because of the master and servant, it seems a little unreasonable, after all, Hua'an has left Situ Mansion, and there is no master in the world who will be so good to the servant.
Of course, Han Qian is too forgetful, he actually forgot that in the first battle of Maoshan to suppress bandits, Hua An led less than 100 elite soldiers and broke 5,000 bandits, just to save a girl, and this beautiful girl is Wang Ling, Director Wang's baby daughter.
Later, by coincidence, Wang Ling still lived in Hua'an's house temporarily, this matter, Tie Niu and Wang San had told Han Qian, but Han Qian's mind was full of the Northern Expedition and the Northern Expedition, and he didn't remember the private feelings of these children at all, so he naturally didn't understand why Director Wang cared so much about Hua'an.
"Lord Situ, Lord Situ." Seeing Director Wang's happy distraction, Han Qian called out softly.
When Director Wang heard this, he came back to his senses, looked at Han Qian, and chuckled: "Hehe! General Han, the old man has taken a step in advance, farewell, farewell. With that, he took small steps and walked as fast as he could, towards the outside of the palace.
Han Qian clenched his fists slightly, and before he could speak, Director Wang had already walked away.
"This Lord Situ, what's going on today, it's been mysterious." Han Qian frowned, thought secretly in his heart for a while, shook his head, and strode towards the outside of the palace.

Wang Dao, who hurried back to the mansion, asked his subordinates to go to get the brocade box in the main hall as soon as he got off the sedan chair.
"Master, the brocade box has been fetched." The subordinate handed over the brocade box to Director Wang as quickly as possible.
Director Wang gently opened the brocade box, only glanced at it and closed it again, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously showed a faint smile.
"Li Shang." Director Wang shouted.
"Master, Li is still here." When Li Shang heard this, he hurriedly walked over to Director Wang.
This Li Shang is the Li Shang who took special care of Hua'an when he was a child, and now, he is the little housekeeper of Situ Mansion, because he is safe in his work, and he has won the trust of Director Wang.
"Take it." Director Wang gently handed the brocade box in his hand to Li Shang's hand, and said: "Li Shang, tell you one thing, in the past, Hua'an, who often accompanied you to chop wood, in our house, today, the emperor has decided to canonize him as a general to beg for capture." ā
"Great, sir, it's only been a few days, and Hua'an is going to be a general." Li Shang also seemed extremely happy.
Director Wang smiled, pointed to the brocade box in Li Shang's hand, and said softly: "The gift in the brocade box was given by the old man to the general who begged for capture, Li Shang, you personally sent it." ā
"Yes, sir." Li Shang simply agreed, and as soon as he ran two steps, he turned around and asked, "Master, is it sent to the army or to Hua'an's home?" ā
"Haha! Of course, it was sent to Hua'an, he was at home in Wuyi Lane, go quickly! I'll be back when I'm done. Director Wang said and laughed.
"Got it, sir, I'll go now." Li Shang agreed, immediately turned around, and walked towards Hua'an's home in Wuyi Lane.
