"I understand." Yun Conggang nodded and went out to explain the matter to Long Xiaotian. A black shadow slipped away in the air.
The power of Empress Shui Gong is really incredible, and she managed all these things in just one day. Kang Yizhong was taken down, and more than a dozen of Fang Jin’s family members died, but about twenty were still rescued. In the end,
The important thing is that Fang Jin's wife and children are still alive, although one of his sons was beaten and disabled.
This attack was out of control, and Fang Jin testified in court. In addition, after Kang Yizhong was controlled, it was proved that the materials provided by Tang Chun were true. General Tian Dong was also arrested for giving false testimony.
However, the real person behind the scenes has not been found. It is estimated that Yun Conggang has stopped and does not want to investigate further. If we really want to pull out the carrot and bring out the mud, the Yun family must also consider the strength of the opponents.
In the end, Kang Yizhong took the blame for the Ziyiwei side. Tian Dong took the blame for the Admiral Yamen, and the case was closed. The mastermind behind the scenes was still at large, and Tang Chun was helpless. He could only accept this ending.
Two days later, the emperor's order of commendation arrived. In the court hall of Dali Temple, a eunuch from the palace came to announce the matter.
"Since Tang Chun, the sixth-grade general, killed Red Guard... Emperor Yu specially ordered to promote Tang Chun to the sixth-grade general to protect the country. He was rewarded with 10 middle-grade yuan stones, a hundred taels of gold, and ten pieces of cloth..." Chen, the eunuch of the palace,
As soon as the father-in-law finished reciting at the top of his voice, warm applause suddenly broke out in the courtroom. Qi Yuntao and Qiu Zhaotong could only congratulate each other with false words.
"We have decided to hold a banquet at Luoji Restaurant in the evening to celebrate General Tang's promotion to the rank of Sixth-grade National Protector General. At that time, we will also invite Mr. Qi, Mr. Qiu and other adults to come and have a seat." In order to win over Tang Chun and tell the truth, Mr. Yun did not hesitate to tell the truth.
Tang Chun held a celebration banquet.
"My lord... you are finally out." Mei Tieyan, an old family member who had been waiting at the gate of the government office, was so happy that she burst into tears when she saw Tang Chun come out.
"Uncle Yan." There was also a trace of mist in Tang Chun's eyes, and the two hugged each other tightly, "It's okay, Uncle Yan, this matter is over. I have been promoted to the sixth rank of General Protecting the Country. Mr. Yun will be in Luo in the evening.
There is a banquet in the restaurant. You can go together and we can sit at the same table."
"What's wrong with this?" Mei Tieyan shook his head.
"I said yes. We must sit together. Otherwise, you might as well go back to your hometown." Tang Chun's attitude was firm.
"Zhongzhong, I will stand next to the young master." Mei Tieyan hesitated, and Tang Chun had no choice but to nod. In this strict hierarchical country, even if Mei Tieyan is killed, he will not be able to serve. Because of his identity
Just a domestic servant.
The banquet starts promptly at five o'clock in the evening.
In order to support Tang Chun, Lord Yun also specially invited a few old friends to join in the fun. Of course, Lord Yun's old friends are all in the officialdom, and all of them have high official ranks, ranging from second to third grade.
Qi Yuntao and Qiu Zhaotong also came with their sons. This was not to give Tang Chun face, but to give face to the Yun family.
Yun Conggang specially asked his eldest son, Yunxu, to meet the guests at the door with Tang Chun. Yunxu was only in his twenties, and he was also a sixth-grade general, serving in the Xiaoqi Camp in the capital.
This man was not exempt from vulgarity. He was as arrogant as any other young master from a big family. He looked down on Tang Chun at all. Although his father had arrangements, he just stood coldly at the gate of Luo Ji Restaurant.
Moreover, he completely regarded Tang Chun as his follower, and he didn't even bother to shout around. Because the people who came were all invited by the Yun family, it seemed that Tang Chun had nothing to do with entertaining guests.
An important guest came to the Yun family, and Yunxu didn't even give him a chance to introduce him to Tang Chun. He just welcomed the guest with a smile on his face. Tang Chun stood by like a bodyguard.
Tang Chun originally wanted to take the opportunity to get to know a few senior officials, but when he saw Yun Xu's attitude, he stopped asking for trouble and simply stood aside as a telegraph pole. Moreover, the guests from the Yun family naturally ignored Tang Chun.
He didn't even look at him.
"Yunxu, all the guests are here, and you two are back to prepare for the banquet." Master Yun's laughter came from the hall.
Yunxu turned around and walked in and sat down on a big round table under his father. Because Lord Yun's table was all full, naturally it was the senior friends invited by Lord Yun and Lord Qi and Lord Qiu.
. The servant Mei Tieyan stood beside Tang Chun with a smile on his face, which was certainly not a good feeling in his heart.
"Hahaha, Brother Tang, I, Li Bei, must come over to congratulate me on your promotion, right? A small gift is not respectful." Just as Tang Chun was about to turn around and return to the hall, a hearty voice came over with a smile.
"Brother Li Bei, thank you for your help." Tang Chun smiled and cupped his hands. Mei Tieyan quickly took the calligraphy and painting sent by Li Bei with both hands and put it away. Yun Xu just looked at the door and showed no intention of standing up.
Li Bei was still under his words.
"Hahaha, Brother Tang, is it okay if I, Cai Qiang, am promoted to such a high position? Brother Tang, a small gift would not be a sign of respect." At this time, Cai Qiang, the son of Cai Fang, who was waiting for Cai Fangfang, got off the carriage with a smile. His family members carried several congratulatory gifts.
Tang Chun quickly accepted it with a smile, and Mei Tieyan's tense face relaxed.
When Yunxu saw it, he had no choice but to step out. He had no choice but to stand up and join Tang Chun to greet Young Master Cai Qiang and Cai Qiang.
"Master Tang, Mr. Liu Ze, the third steward of Sihai Village in the capital, came here to congratulate Mr. Tang on his promotion. Entrusted by the eldest lady, a century-old ginseng is a token of gratitude. It is not respectful." Manager Liu is here.
Suddenly, even Yun Conggang looked sideways. Qi Yuntao and Qiu Zhaotong flashed a look of surprise on their faces. This is because Liu Ze is the third in charge of Sihaizhuang's business in the capital. He has innate Dzogchen skills and is also somewhat famous in the capital.
Famous.
As for Yun Xu, he couldn't hide the shock on his face.
"Lord Tang, I am Ximen Liu, the Third Steward of the Haidong Prince's Palace. I was entrusted by Miss Ximen Honglou to send you five 'high-grade Yuan Stones', one point..." Ximen Liu said.
This group of people came one after another, attracting the attention of all the guests in the hall. Even the senior officials at Master Yun's table all stopped talking and stared at the door. Moreover, these people were the first to come.
The title is 'Lord Tang' instead of 'Yun Xiaoqi'. It is obvious that he is here for Tang Chun, the rightful master.
"Master Tang, congratulations!" At this time, Wang Qian, the imperial envoy, came slowly from the carriage, "I have nothing to give you, so I will give you a piece of writing." Master Wang arrived, and now Master Yun Conggang was here.
Unable to sit still, I stood up and went to the door to greet him.
"Hahaha, Mr. Tang has been promoted. Luo Dongting was entrusted by my father to come here to celebrate." Luo Dongting, the governor of Yudu, got off the carriage.
Suddenly, the second- and third-grade officials who were still sitting at Yun Conggang's table could no longer sit still. They quickly got up from the table and hurried to the gate to greet him.
Luo Dongting was fine, but what he said was scary. What does it mean to be entrusted by my father, whose father is the patron king Luo Feiyun? Who dares to sit at the table in such a grand manner, so everyone stood up and went to the door to greet the distinguished guests.
Everyone was chatting at the door, and it was quite lively. After seeing no more guests for a long time, they returned to the hall and sat down to have a dinner.
It was difficult to make arrangements now. Yun Conggang's table was already full. I had no choice but to push all the gentlemen at Yun Xu's table to the back and replace them with Luo Dongting and Mr. Wang.
The group is now together, with Tang Chun and Yun Xu accompanying them.
After just serving a few dishes and drinking a few glasses of wine, Mr. Yun stood up and was about to deliver some speeches to celebrate.
At this moment, the servant standing outside shouted loudly: "Eunuch Song from the palace has arrived."
As soon as he heard this, he moved his chair and stood up, followed by the sound of footsteps rushing towards the door. Under the leadership of Mr. Yun, all the officials crowded to the door to greet Song with flattering smiles on their faces.
My father-in-law is here.
After entering the hall, Eunuch Song did not sit down, but flicked his fly whisk. He took out Yi Zhi and chanted loudly: "By the decree of Empress Song of the Fire Palace, Tang Chun, the sixth-grade general who protects the country, is granted the title."
When Eunuch Song was talking about this, he paused for a moment, coughed and cleared his throat, then walked around the hall with a serious look on the officials, and then continued to talk: "The empress feels that Tang Chun has made great contributions to killing the powerful enemy.
The Dayu Dynasty made great contributions.
Tang Chun was granted the title of first-class baron, and his fiefdom included the entire Daozi County under Nanman Province. Recently, I heard that a group of bandits in Daozi County had made a rebellion and occupied the Daozi Mansion Office.
The calamity has affected all the people in Daozi County. Tang Chun is ordered to temporarily take over the post of magistrate of Daozi County. Within three days, he will go to the Admiral's Mansion in Southwest Yu to lead thirty elite troops and rush to Daozi County to recover the lost county government. Empress Song sympathizes with the people of Daozi County.
The people were suffering, so Tang Chun was specially given five hundred taels of silver to order Tang Chun to go to Nanman Province to buy some grain and distribute it to the people of Daozi County. Again..."
For a moment, the whole hall was silent.
"Haha, General Tang, you have been promoted, received a title, and received a fiefdom. This is the special care given to you by Empress Song.
I hope you will not let down Empress Song's gift and take control of various affairs in Daozi County as soon as possible so that the people of the county can live a happy and healthy life.
Spread the blessings of my Dayu Dynasty to the entire Daozi County." Song Eunuch handed the imperial edict to Tang Chun with a smile on his face. He also reached out and patted Tang Chun on the shoulder, seemingly affectionately. Tang Chun handed over two taels of gold.
Return the gift in the past.
"Please rest assured, Madam, Tang Chun will take back Daozi County, so that the county people can live a happy life and enjoy the favor of our Dayu Dynasty." Tang Chun said with a serious face. Eunuch Song left with a smile.
However, it seemed that some officials who had been enthusiastic about Tang Chun became cold-faced after Tang Chun got the title and fiefdom. The banquet also ended hastily and they left.
"What's going on? I was fine just now, but after being ennobled, I became the God of Plague. Everyone is trying to avoid me. Is there something wrong with the fiefdom given by Lady Song? Isn't it just a group of bandits?" Tang Chun was a little confused.
Puzzled, the three of them, Li Beimei and Tieyan, took a carriage back to the inn.
"Well, Brother Tang, I couldn't remind you in public at that time. However, the truth is indeed very bad. I happened to pass by Daozi County in Nanman Province three years ago. However, that place is no longer the territory of our Great Yuan Kingdom.
"Li Bei sighed.
"If it's not the territory of the Great Yuan Kingdom, then why would Lady Song give it to me?" Tang Chun was a little surprised. He had long felt that something was inappropriate, but now he finally understood.
