Chapter 2443: Become an official like Zeng Guofan!
...
...
After the destruction of Rome, the Han Dynasty became invincible and its national power was unprecedentedly strong.
The benefits obtained are also extremely generous.
First of all, fragments of the wandering Basalt Aegis were collected from under the ancient Roman Colosseum, making the supreme artifact Basalt Aegis appear again.
Then there are the treasure chests that were revealed by killing the powerful men of the Roman Empire. There are dozens of glittering treasure chests!
The Roman Emperor Caesar also made a generous contribution, and two of the purple-ray pseudo-god-level treasure chests were revealed!
Liu Hao turned on the super lucky mode and was able to open treasure chests with ease.
Except for the magical weapons, the fragments of the Game of Thrones world have finally been collected and can be combined into a complete world authority.
However, Liu Hao is not in a hurry to go to the Game of Thrones world.
Because this world is not very helpful in improving the level of martial arts, and there are also weird and terrifying monsters like the White Walkers, so the benefits you can get are very limited.
"I will go there when I have time in the future and catch two dragons to use as mounts. Now I have achieved the magic of cultivating demons in the heart of the Tao. The most urgent task is to break the void and advance to the realm of immortals..."
The closer he got to the human-immortal realm, Liu Hao had a tacit understanding and felt that the barrier was loosening. After the human-immortal realm, there seemed to be a great opportunity waiting for him.
...
"Your Majesty, Lord Zeng Guofan has a memorial to submit to the Military Aircraft Department."
When Liu Hao was looking at the lake in the imperial garden to nourish his mind, the manager Cao Zhengchun rushed in from a distance and handed over a letter with both hands.
After taking the memorial and looking at it, Liu Hao had a faint smile on his lips.
It turned out to be Zeng Guofan's apology letter for rashly launching troops to attack the Western Regions of the Qing Dynasty.
"This Zeng Guofan is indeed a famous minister through the ages, and he is very good at conducting himself. No wonder later generations say that to become an official, one must learn from Zeng Guofan..."
The Han Dynasty attacked the Roman Empire, but things were not peaceful in the Qing Dynasty.
In the realm of the Qing Dynasty, there are hidden changes in the countries in the Western Regions.
Zeng Guofan, the envoy of Zhenjie, took Pang Qingyun as the vanguard general and sent his troops westward. The troops crossed the western frontier and destroyed all the countries in the Western Regions. Several countries were frightened by the attack. Even the kings of the Western Regions countries personally submitted surrender orders.
This memorial had already passed through the Chancellor's Desk and had been reviewed by Liu Zhao. This important military and state matter was finally delivered to Liu Hao's hands.
Liu Hao thought for a while and gave instructions at the end of the memorial: "The foreign monarch will not accept your order. Zeng Aiqing has made outstanding contributions and has been granted the power of life and death. Now that the Western barbarians have been defeated, he will be recalled to the court quickly and there will be a heavy reward."
With just this brief instruction, Liu Hao threw the memorial to Cao Zhengchun.
Cao Zhengchun would naturally submit the memorial to the Shangshutai, who would then issue the imperial edict and convey it to the Qing Dynasty.
...
Clear boundaries.
Duke Zeng Guofan and Zuo Zongtang of the Qing Dynasty were having a banquet in the army, and the atmosphere was very lively.
Zeng Guofan sat high on the throne, raised his hand, pressed it in vain, and smiled: "This time we conquered the countries in the Western Regions, destroyed dozens of cities and destroyed dozens of countries, it was all due to General Zuo's well-organized maneuvers and the efforts of all the officers and men to move forward. I
I have already sent a petition to the Chancellor to ask for your merits, and I expect that there will be a decree soon..."
"Where is the commander-in-chief of the army? He is not as handsome as Zeng!"
Zuo Zongtang raised his wine glass high and drank it all in one gulp. His face was black and red, and he was obviously very excited inside.
Since he surrendered to the Han Dynasty, he has not been given enough stage. This time he led his troops to attack the Western Regions and destroyed dozens of cities and countries one after another. This was a real moment of pride and pride, and he proved his worth to Liu Hao.
Pang Qingyun, Jiang Wuyang and other powerful generals in the army also cheered with excitement.
The system of the Han Dynasty is similar to the ancient system of the pre-Qin Dynasty to some extent. As long as you are willing to fight hard to kill the enemy, the military department will truthfully record your merits, and you will be rewarded based on your merits in the future, you will always have a great future.
The army was filled with laughter and laughter, but Zuo Zongtang was deeply worried.
He lowered his voice and asked sideways: "Commander Zeng, the dispatch of troops this time happened unexpectedly. Your Majesty is still on the Western Expedition. You and I sent the troops privately. If your Majesty punishes you, I will bear the responsibility myself..."
Zeng Guofan raised his hand and pressed it softly, and said righteously: "Zongtang, you don't need to say more. I am the envoy of the town, the Duke of the Qing Dynasty, and I have been ordered by the Holy Order to control the three armies. How can I let my subordinates take the blame? The apology edict has been submitted.
God Ting, the road ahead is bleak, and it will be up to you to clear the world from now on..."
The military law of the dynasty was very strict. This time Zeng Guofan commanded 100,000 new soldiers to conquer the Western Regions. Although he won a great victory, he actually violated the military law.
Zuo Zongtang was anxious and wanted to say something else, but he heard a lifelong shout from the distance:
"The imperial edict has arrived!"
This voice seemed to have magic power, and the fierce soldiers in the army immediately restrained their expressions, put down their wine bowls, and stood at attention solemnly.
"Zeng Guofan, the Duke of the Qing Dynasty, accepted the decree."
"My lord, take the order."
Zeng Guofan flicked his sleeves and bowed down.
Zuo Zongtang, Pang Qingyun, Jiang Wuyang and other powerful generals in the army also knelt down.
"By God's blessing, on the day of the Holy Emperor's edict, the Duke of the Qing Dynasty won a great victory in the Western Expedition, and the government and the public were inspired. I will give you a glass of wine to strengthen his march. Return to the court to report on his duties, and then recount his merits..."
Nian Gengyao read out the imperial edict loudly. Seeing that Zeng Guofan seemed to be in a daze, Nian Gengyao smiled slightly, poured a glass of wine into the golden bottle, and said with a smile: "Master Zeng, don't you accept the edict?"
To be honest, Nian Gengyao was really jealous.
He and Zeng Guofan came from the Qing court at the same time, and his status was not lower than Zeng Guofan's at the beginning.
However, he is still only a second-rank official in the Han Dynasty, and he was probably promoted because of the beauty of his younger sister.
But Zeng Guofan stood upright in the court with his outstanding achievements.
"When I have the opportunity, I want to ask Zeng Guofan for advice on how to be an official."
Nian Gengyao was thinking in his mind.
A stone weighing heavily on Zeng Guofan's heart finally fell. He prostrated himself, rested his forehead on the ground, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, thank you for your kindness!"
"Good wine! Enjoyable!"
He took a deep breath, stood up, bowed and took the glass and drank it all in one gulp. He felt that it was exceptionally elegant and delicate, the wine was mellow and full, with a long aftertaste, and the fragrance lingered between his lips and teeth...
Nian Gengyao said: "This glass is the princely wine poured by the Holy Emperor himself. The Duke of Qing has made great achievements this time. After drinking all the princely wine, the road to Qingyun will be in front of you."
Several people came out of the Qing Dynasty together, and they were somewhat similar. Nian Gengyao was persuaded by Zuo Zongtang to stay, and he also drank a few more drinks.
After three rounds of drinking, Nian Gengyao revealed another piece of news: "Lord Zeng, it is better to escort the heads of the kingdoms back to the imperial capital as soon as possible. Someone in Nian has received the news that the Holy Emperor is going to bring Lord Zeng to the chancellery this time.
....”
Zeng Guofan's heart beat violently and uncontrollably...
