Chapter 35 Prince Consort

"My lord, please forgive me. My lord, please forgive me. This villain is wronged!"

Guo An suddenly panicked and screamed in horror.

Zhang Yue's wife, the Guo sisters, heard Guo An's shouting in the house and hurriedly came to check.

"A common woman pays homage to Ming Gong and dares to ask Ming Gong, "I wonder what kind of crime my master is punishing?"

"Are you Zhang Junhou Xijun?"

Guo was stunned: "Although the husband of a civilian woman is Zhang, he is not a military prince!"

The county magistrate laughed and said: "I want my wife to know that my husband Zhang Gong has made many military exploits since he went on the expedition. Now he has been worshiped as the Duke of Bingduo. The Prince Consort has recommended Zhang Gong to the position of Barrier Lieutenant and Leading Marquis...

…”

When Zhang Guo heard this, she felt so happy that she fainted in excitement.

"Sister, sister...don't scare me!"

Zhang Yue's sister-in-law quickly supported Zhang Guo.

"I'm fine!"

Fortunately, Ms. Zhang Guo woke up quickly.

"Ma'am, are you okay?"

The county magistrate asked with concern. He was also recommended by the Prince Consort, so he naturally felt a sense of intimacy towards Zhang Yue and his family.

Mrs. Zhang Guo calmed down and said, "Thank you very much, Duke Ming. In this case, why does Duke Ming want to arrest my master?"

The county magistrate sighed: "Guo An himself should know this best!"

Zhang Guo glanced at her father in confusion, and saw her father's face turning pale and slumped to the side in despair. Thinking about it, what the county magistrate said must be true.

Zhang Guo said helplessly: "Ming Gong, can you be accommodating?"

The county magistrate sighed: "Madam, please ask your husband to think of a solution. The Tingwei Mansion personally explained this matter, and there is nothing I can do about it!"

"Tingwei!"

The people around him couldn't help but shudder when they heard this, and the crowd moved back unconsciously.

In the empire, Tingwei can stop children from crying at night. Every time Tingwei takes action, there will be a bloody storm.

Mrs. Zhang also felt a thump in her heart and looked at her father beside her in disbelief.

When Guo An heard the word "Tingwei" on the sidelines, he was so frightened that he trembled all over and murmured: "It happened, it happened."

He muttered, suddenly jumped up, and fell at Zhang Guo's feet.

"Daughter, you must save dad. Now dad can only rely on you!"

"Sir, get up quickly!"

The Zhang Guo sisters hugged Guo An, and the father and daughter hugged each other and burst into tears.

After a while, Mrs. Zhang Guo finally came back to her senses.

"Sir, please tell me what happened. How did you get into trouble with Wei Ting for no reason?"

Guo An cried: "Father was forced to do so. Zhang Yue is not an ordinary person. He is the son of Zhang Sima, who was born as a marquis.

Dad was forced back then, and those people were going to kill him. It was the daughter that dad secretly hid, so you must save dad, Zhang Yue listens to you the most."

The county magistrate listened, his eyes brightening more and more. He suddenly learned a lot of information from Guo An.

"Have you written it all down?" he asked the clerk beside him.

"Don't worry, Ming Gong, I've remembered everything!"

Seeing that it was getting late, the county magistrate left the property given by the emperor and two slaves, and then returned to the county with Guo An.

When Guo An left, he kept shouting, asking his daughter to write a letter to Zhang Yue to save his life.

After the county magistrate left, the news of Zhang Yue's conferment spread like a gust of wind throughout the countryside.

This time the reward came slower than Zhang Yue expected. Han Feng, who originally wanted to come in person, didn't know why but never came.

“General Bai, it’s not like we’ve been given credit for our achievements!”

After waiting for more than a month, Cai Ting finally couldn't help but secretly asked Zhang Yue.

"Don't talk nonsense. Among the Han army, I have never heard of anyone taking the place of military merit!" Zhang Yue scolded.

"But General Bai must have delayed it for too long this time!" Cai Ting couldn't help but muttered a few words.

"Don't worry, maybe our gains this time are too big, so it will take a long time to verify."

Cai Ting was right when he thought about it. It took four days to count the belongings, and another seven days to transport the belongings to Longshouzhan. It was normal to think that it was slower.

Although Zhang Yue sent Cai Ting away, he was actually very uneasy in his heart. Although he said so, he actually knew very well that corruption of military merit was not just a matter of the Han army, but even the Qin army, which had the strictest laws.

exists.

In the blink of an eye, more than half a month has passed, and now a full two months have passed since the original war.

In the past two months, Zhang Yue first liberated the slaves obtained in the war.

In order to ensure the cultivation of the land he obtained, he granted each slave twenty acres of land according to the Han family system. From then on, these slaves became Han people.

Zhang Yue's actions made him directly regarded as a god by these slaves. They even erected a statue of Zhang Yue in the house where he lived and worshiped him every night.

In addition to these, a former slave named Zhao Da also brought unexpected joy to Zhang Yue.

It turns out that there is actually a paradise-like valley in Longshou Mountain to the east of this place.

Because it is blocked by the surrounding mountains, the climate here is extremely pleasant. There is no bitter cold at all.

Moreover, the area of ​​this land is not small, enough to cultivate 7,8,000 to 8,000 acres of fertile farmland.

Overjoyed, Zhang Yue immediately mobilized all available manpower to reclaim the valley. So far, more than 4,000 acres of farmland have been reclaimed.

Although the spring sowing time has been missed, summer sowing can still be carried out.

On this day, Zhang Yue was organizing everyone to carry out summer sowing, and suddenly news came that someone from Chang'an was here.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yue quickly jumped on his horse and rushed back to the village.

Guimao, summer, April, the third year of Taichu, restrictions:

Inheriting the legacy of the late Emperor, I was granted the title of Feng Zongzhou, and I fought with great vigor and never slackened off. I heard that Zhang's son, Yue, was given the title of Bingduo, a Lieutenant of Saizhan, and the title of Marquis of Bingqu Army of the Dragon Head Sima Division.

Zhang Yue felt dizzy after listening to it. He didn't remember most of what was said in the book. He only remembered that in the end he was awarded the title of Bingduo, served as a barrier officer, and also served as a military marquis.

Zhang Yue originally wanted to leave the imperial envoy to take a rest, but this person said that he still needed to go to Zhangye City, so Zhang Yue gave up.

"Congratulations to Mr. Zhang!"

After the envoy left, Han Feng was the first to congratulate Zhang Yue.

Zhang Yue understood that he could not be where he is today without Han Feng's help and recommendation.

"Thank you so much for your great virtue, Ming Gong, the less I can repay you!" Zhang Yue bowed to Han Feng.

Unexpectedly, this time Han Feng did not accept it, but stepped aside.

"Zhang Jun is so polite. This time Zhang Jun's conferment has nothing to do with a certain person. It all depends on the recommendation of the Prince Consort!"

"Captain Prince Consort!" Zhang Yue was stunned.

"That Prince Consort Captain!"

Han Fengdao: "Who else is the Prince Consort?"
