Chapter 206: Promotion and Reuse
Qiao Se naturally didn't know what the emperor was thinking at the moment, and he didn't even reward himself for calling himself. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Previously, Su Ya also said that according to the merits of the war, what kind of benefits should he get, it seems that this old boy is stingy!
Jose couldn't help but sneer a few words, and after coming out of the palace, he walked along the corridor to the place where he had just entered, only to find that in addition to the palace attendant who was waiting for him, there was also a tall young man waiting outside.
"Cold-faced man, why are you this guy?" José looked at the guy in front of him with some surprise, it was Perry, the cold-faced man who hadn't shown up in the past two days.
However, this guy is rarely wearing an armor uniform at the moment, but wearing a set of high-quality silk robes, plus he is tall and straight, and the robes are cut to fit, which looks like some aristocratic children from a distance.
Perry was a little surprised when he saw José come out.
He was also summoned by the Emperor today, but when he arrived, the court attendants outside told him that His Majesty the Emperor was summoning others. Perry has a cold temperament, so naturally he will not deliberately ask the palace attendants who was summoned by His Majesty.
However, seeing Joseph walk out of the palace made Perry a little surprised: "The person summoned by His Majesty the Emperor is you?"
José nodded and glanced at Perry: "That's right, the emperor just let me in and asked a few words, and then let me go back...... Look at your outfit and still appear here, are you waiting for me?"
"I was also summoned by His Majesty to wait here, but ...... But I didn't expect His Majesty the Emperor to summon you, I thought it was Su Ya!"
Perry glanced at Joseph, but found that the fellow had heard this, and instead leaned in, pulled himself aside, and then whispered:
"Cold-faced man, you emperor is a little stingy, according to what Su Ya said, I should be rewarded when summoned today, but he just asked me something, and then asked me to pat my ass and leave...... I said, he doesn't want to give me a reward, does he?"
Perry frowned, thought for a moment, and then asked, "You guy, are you talking nonsense again, which makes Your Majesty unhappy?" or is it ...... What did you say about Suya?"
When Jose heard him say this, he suddenly understood something: Perry obviously thought that he had admitted that he had a close relationship with Suya, which made the emperor a little unhappy, so he did not mention the matter of commending him.
Jose touched his nose and snorted a little unpleasantly: "Cold-faced man, I naturally know what you mean, but I'm not a fool, how can I honestly dig out my bottom to that emperor?"
This kind of thing, I naturally have to make a clear relationship with Su Ya in front of the emperor, otherwise he will definitely think that I am Su Ya's deliberately promoted confidant, not only suspicious of me, but also unfavorable to Su Ya!"
Perry glanced at Jose in some surprise, nodded and said, "You guy is smart, but in this way, even if His Majesty doubts you, he won't ...... you without rewarding you."
He said this, but in his heart he knew that this northwest war was indeed a little strange. Perry is already a high-ranking official at the level of commander in the army at a young age, and his martial arts skills are even more extraordinary, so he naturally will not be a stupid person.
Over the past year or so, he has seen the attitude of the Central Military Department and the situation in Moxi. To put it bluntly, even if the war in the northwest is calm now, His Majesty the Emperor may not be grateful to Su Ya who led the troops!
His father is the vice minister of military affairs, and he can naturally detect any disturbances in the military department, plus Su Ya has always been frank with him, and he can also feel the strange atmosphere after the war in the northwest. His Majesty the Emperor didn't even care about the situation in the northwest at all, what he was more concerned about seemed to be only how to take back the power of Moxi.
As for this post-war commendation, it is just a formality, after all, the war in Moxi lasted for more than a year, and now it has been pacified, even if His Majesty the Emperor is not much satisfied at all. But I'm afraid that the things on the scene still have to be sufficient, if nothing else, at least to buy people's hearts and minds, so that a cadre of soldiers and generals in the empire can see their statements.
When Perry thought of this, he suddenly seemed to think of something important, looked at Jose and asked, "When His Majesty the Emperor asked you again, did he show any emotional changes?"
Jose pondered for a moment, shook his head, and said, "He asked me about defending the city in Moxi and killing Falusi, and there are still a lot of messy questions. However, I looked at his demeanor, it didn't seem like he was deliberately trying to test me, and he seemed quite satisfied, and finally he even asked me if I would like to serve in the army!"
"Ask, ask if you would like to serve in the army?!" Perry heard this, and his face showed a rare surprise, and then he hurriedly asked, "Your Majesty really asked you that?"
"How can you answer? The emperor asked if you were willing, and I could still say if I didn't! Of course, I followed his words and said yes, but after I finished speaking, he thought for a while, but he directly asked me to go back...... I said cold-faced man, did I say something wrong?"
At this time, the surprise on Perry's face slowly subsided, revealing a somewhat solemn look, and he glanced at Jose with a complicated expression:
"According to what you said, I guess His Majesty the Emperor should not be dissatisfied with you, but very satisfied!"
"Satisfied?" José was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but ask, "But he only asked me a few words, and even ...... commendation"
"Aren't you a smart guy on weekdays, why are you asking such a stupid question at this time?"
Perry snorted coldly and said lightly: "According to my understanding of Your Majesty, he did this exactly to show that you are valued! Originally, he may have just tried to test you, but your performance should make Your Majesty very satisfied, so he dismissed the original praise for you, but decided to reconsider, and did not reward you on the spot, which is exactly the reason!"
"Really?" José touched his nose and looked at Perry with some suspicion, the cold-faced man shook his head, and there was a few hints of affirmation in his tone:
"I don't know if it's true or not, but I speculate that there are seven or eight points of possibility, because when Your Majesty first saw me, it was very similar to the scene you said!
First asked some questions, and then I was obviously very satisfied but let me withdraw, in fact, this is also one of the tests, that is, to test whether your temperament is impatient or calm......"
Seeing Joseph's somewhat surprised appearance, Perry smiled slightly and said lightly: "I remember, at that time, I had been serving in the Central Army for three years, and my assessment results ranked first, and everyone thought that I could get at least one battalion-level commander, but after His Majesty summoned me, he directly appointed me as the deputy commander!"
Perry said this, but his voice was almost inaudible:
"You know, this is almost not in line with the military practice at that time, because according to normal standards, I have to stay in the Central Army for at least ten years before I can be promoted to the rank of commander!
Later, I learned from a court attendant who served His Majesty that His Majesty the Emperor was originally going to elevate me as a battalion officer of the Central Army's Southern Army, but after summoning me, he threw the letter of appointment directly into the wastebasket, and then made me the deputy commander......"
