Chapter 65: Promotion to become rich and marrying a daughter-in-law (for brother Meng
As for Zhang Cheng's reward, since Emperor Chrysostom approved it, the cabinet would have no further objections and decided on it.
Niu Sheng, who was in Beijing, had already received Zhang Cheng's letter and had been paying attention to the matter. After learning the news, he sent people to Dushikou to report to Zhang Cheng.
However, official documents from the Ministry of War must first be sent to the Governor's Mansion of Xuanda, then to the Governor's Office of Xuanfu Town and the Wandu Department, and then to the Chicheng Military Preparation Mansion, and finally to the Kaiping Guards in Dushikou Castle.
The commander placed it in the hands of Zhang Cheng.
The official document from the Ministry of War was passed down all the way. Chen Xinjia, the governor of Xuanda University, was naturally pleased, especially when he saw the private letter Yang Sichang sent him. Thinking about how much weight he had gained in the emperor's heart, his face was full of pride.
And as the official documents of the Ministry of War were passed on, all the officers and generals in Xuanzhen also knew that a new star was truly born. The twenty-three-year-old general and the twenty-three-year-old were all commanding the generals. That was a third-rank official.
, how many people work hard all their lives, but may not be able to get it.
What's more, Zhang Cheng is still the emperor's favorite. I don't know how many people are envious and jealous, lamenting what kind of bad luck this kid Zhang Cheng has got.
Since the beginning of King Qin's affairs, in a short period of time, he has been promoted from a thousand households in the fifth rank to a third rank, commanding all the affairs, and he is also a general guarding all the way.
…………
On May 21, the official document from the Ministry of War was finally delivered to Dushikou Castle.
Before that, Zhang Cheng had received news from Niu Sheng. Soon, a personal letter from Chen Xinjia, the governor of Xuanda University, was secretly sent to Zhang Cheng. Of course, he would not let others know about these things.
Amidst the congratulations from all the officials, Xue Liangqing, the commander of the Kaiping Guards, had a green face.
Why? Why exactly?
He roared in his heart, his eyes full of resentment, his hands holding the official documents from the Ministry of War couldn't help trembling, resentment gathered in his chest, and gradually filled his chest and abdomen.
The official document clearly stated:
Zhang Cheng, the guerrilla general and commander of the Xuanfu avant-garde, was promoted to the rank of Commander-in-Chief of Wanquan and the Commander-in-Chief of Sidu, and was appointed as the general of the North Road Branch Guard in Xuanfu Town. He was promoted to General Dingyuan.
Jin Xinpeng, the commander of the Kaiping Guard, was promoted to the commander of the Kaiping Guard and became the chief seal officer of the Kaiping Guard.
Yan Qingrong, the commander of the Kaiping Guards, was promoted to the commander of the Kaiping Guards and appointed as the clerk of the Kaiping Guards.
...the Guard Commander served Zhang Guodong and was promoted to Kaiping Guard Commander and Associate Professor.
...Wu Zhizhong, a member of the Qianhu family, was promoted to the commanding officer of the Kaiping Guard and was actually appointed as the secretary of the Kaiping Guard.
...Qianhu Wei Zhice was promoted to Kaipingwei to command Qianshi.
... Chen Zheng from Qianhu was promoted to command the Kaiping Guards.
...Zhang Guangda, a member of Qianhu, was promoted to command the Kaiping Guards.
...Qianhu He Biao served as the governor of Kaiping Wei Town and Fusi Town.
...Hundred households Zhou Ping, promoted to Kaiping Wei Deputy Qianhu...
etc.
…………
The official document from the Ministry of War slipped from Xue Liangqing's trembling hands, but he was unaware of it. Everyone around him received a reward, but he got nothing.
He felt that he had been deceived and tricked by Jin Xinpeng and Yan Qingrong. These two guys, who sold their friends for glory, turned to the murderous devil without any courtesy or integrity.
There was nowhere to vent the resentment in his heart. He only felt extremely uncomfortable in his chest, as if everyone around him was laughing at him. He actually walked out of the official hall slowly as if he was lost.
The governor, Liu Zhi, had been watching with cold eyes. He gently stepped forward, picked up the official documents from the Ministry of War that fell on the ground, and flicked the dust off with a few flicks of his fingers.
Cao Jinwang, the manager of the Kaiping Wei Experience Department, came up, touched Liu Zhi with his elbow, raised the corner of his mouth, and said softly: "This north road is going to change!"
The expression on Liu Zhi's face did not change, and he replied coldly: "The smoky atmosphere should have changed a long time ago."
…………
For three consecutive days, there was an endless stream of people coming to congratulate him.
Not to mention the various officers and generals of the Wei Department at Dushikou, there are also the three garrisons of Chicheng, Yunzhou and Maying, as well as the forts of Zhen'an, Qingquan, Songshu, Banbidian, Maoeryu, Junzi, Cangshang and Zhenning.
Hundreds of households and generals also came to congratulate Zhang Cheng and others in person.
Of course, these people first wanted to show their goodwill to Zhang Cheng, and secondly, they wanted to congratulate Jin Xinpeng. Compared to Zhang Cheng, they had more affection for Jin Xinpeng.
But what is surprising is that Jin Xinpeng was not at home for three days in a row. He spent most of his time in the General's Office or the Kaiping Health Office, and even slept in the Health Office at night.
Everyone was confused. Only Zhang Cheng knew that Jin Xinpeng was avoiding suspicion and showing his loyalty to himself. He deliberately lingered in the general's office and helped Zhang Cheng entertain the guests instead of congratulating him alone.
When people meet each other, they show that they are under Zhang Cheng.
In response to this, Zhang Cheng just smiled. If he could do this, it would not be in vain for him to give him a hand.
On the second day, He Chongwu, the company's commander, and Qin Shizheng, the commander-in-chief and general judge, all sent their close associates to visit Zhang Cheng to congratulate him.
On the third day, the commander-in-chief Yang Guozhu, deputy commander-in-chief Lin Dengyou, general Liu Guangwu, guerrillas Guo Yingxian, Li Jianming, etc. who were far away in the town all sent people to congratulate him.
In addition, Zhang Guowei, the deputy commander of the Yongning garrison, and Li Yiming, the commander of the security guard city, also sent congratulatory messages.
Everyone under Zhang Cheng was naturally very happy. The general they followed was promoted, and they were also promoted. Some of them were promoted along with them. How could they not be happy!
…………
There have been so many guests in the past few days, and Zhang Cheng is also a little tired and is resting in the backyard.
There is a pond in the backyard of the general's office. There are many red and white koi carps in it. Liu Ying and Liu Yan are feeding these small fish. Seeing her two happy faces, Zhang Cheng feels a little uncomfortable.
disturb.
He stopped in front of a weeping willow ten steps away and looked at the Liu sisters quietly. He didn't want to disturb them, but the little maid who was waiting on the side didn't understand what Zhang Cheng meant.
Seeing Zhang Cheng standing here, she softly called Liu Ying and said, "Miss, the general is here."
Liu Ying stopped feeding the koi after hearing this. He straightened up and turned around. He saw Zhang Cheng at a glance and walked over with a smile. Zhang Cheng also stepped forward when he saw this.
"The general is not in the front hall to receive guests, so how can he come to the back yard with his spare time?" Liu Ying walked up to Zhang Cheng and asked.
Zhang Cheng took a step forward, reached out and grabbed Liu Ying's soft little hand, and held it in his palm as smooth as jade. Zhang Cheng couldn't help but feel distracted, and leaned forward to kiss Liu Ying's forehead.
Liu Ying quickly dodged away and said shyly: "The girls are watching!"
However, Zhang Cheng's palm was still holding Liu Ying's small, catkin-like hand tightly, making it impossible for her to escape. At this time, Liu Yan also saw Zhang Cheng. She trotted over happily and said: "General, my family congratulates General."
Get promoted, get rich, and marry a wife."
Zhang Cheng looked at her, stretched out his other hand, held one of her catkins, and said softly: "Haha, general, even if I marry a new wife, I will not treat you two little beauties badly!"
