In Li County and Taiming City, it was cloudy and rainy that day, but there was a lot of excitement inside and outside the city.
Because a piece of news has spread rapidly among the people in the past two days. Their general Lu has repeatedly fought for the country against Nanyi. Six months ago, he even led his army to invade the land of Nanyi and showed his country's prestige. He received many comments from the Dading Dynasty.
Official conferment issued by the royal family, and he was appointed as the general to protect the country!
The envoys who were canonized set out from Zhongjing City, went out to Sanguan in the west, passed through the entire southwestern Hanzhou, passed through various counties, and stopped along the way. At the same time, they announced the official letter. It can be said that the fanfare has reached the extreme. Although the envoys who canonized have not yet arrived in Taiming
, but this canonization is already well-known to everyone in Southwest Hanzhou.
What an honor is this?
What's more, this time's canonization is very different from the previous canonizations in the Taishou Palace. It was a supreme canonization personally approved by Emperor Dading and stamped with the emperor's seal.
The military titles of the Great General and the Great General of the Auxiliary Kingdom are collectively known as the three great generals of Dading. They are the highest titles that can be awarded to the Dading military except for the legendary General of Tiance who was only held by a member of the royal family when Dading was founded.
A top military honor!
In theory, that was a top military officer whose status was even half a step higher than the prefect of a county.
In the past three hundred years, Dading has never been granted the title of a foreign minister. It has only been granted exclusive military positions to princes and relatives.
Now, Lu Dongfeng seems to have become the first person in Dading in a certain sense in the past three hundred years.
And Lu Dongfeng is the most admired figure by all Taiming people. How can they not be happy about this?!
But only the really smart ones, or people from aristocratic families, will understand that today’s cauldron is no longer the powerful cauldron hundreds of years ago, or even the cauldron that Lu Zu can still support the majesty of the royal family.
In such troubled times where feudal lords are divided and even wars and attacks are taking place, such a high-profile conferment from the Dading royal family is by no means the highest honor for Lu Dongfeng, but may actually become a life-threatening talisman!
Both Android and Apple are available.】
Especially when the governor of Li County has just ascended the throne, but is young and powerful and has defeated all parties, this behavior of the royal family can already be regarded as a provocation and temptation that he can't bear to punish.
Has a blatant provocation and condescending attitude.
On this day, the canonization team, all of whom were more or less wearing bright gold accessories, in such an environment, walked through the entire Li County in a leisurely and swaggering manner, and passed through Li City.
Without entering, we arrived directly outside Taiming City!
They were dusty and high-spirited, especially the leading eunuch who was wearing a yellow and black noble uniform and raising his head all the way. He was even more arrogant to the point of being almost arrogant, with his eyes raised to the sky. Even a hundred generals of the Taiming City Defense Army
Everyone stopped in front of the city gate to ask questions, but they all ignored him.
The Taiming Baijiang looked quite young, so he was naturally furious when he saw this, but seeing the royal demeanor behind him, he didn't dare to act recklessly.
During the stalemate, a golden-armored cavalryman behind the leading eunuch spoke up and said, "We are here to announce the decree to the Great Cauldron Commander General Lu Dongfeng. After entering the city and announcing the decree, we will leave."
The general glanced at the eunuch with his nostrils pointing upward, and immediately replied, "At this time, Taiming is in a state of war. No one can enter the city without the general's order."
The golden-armored cavalry was speechless.
The leading eunuch narrowed his eyes and looked at the young general for the first time. He raised the golden scroll in his hand and said, "Our family went all the way south to this border town on His Majesty's orders, just to declare Lu Dongfeng's order. He wouldn't let it go."
If our family enters the city, it can be regarded as disrespectful and disrespectful, which is tantamount to rebellion. How can you bear the responsibility of blaming a mere hundred generals for such a crime?!"
The hundred generals were not afraid of the eunuch's threats, "I only obey the military orders, not to mention General Lu is not in Taiming. Since His Majesty the Emperor has issued an edict to Lijun, he should go to Licheng."
The eunuch looked at the hundred generals coldly and said slowly, "Is Lu Dongfeng leaving the city?"
The hundred generals said, "I have just explained that Taiming is in wartime. The whereabouts of General Lu is top secret. Anyone who leaks it will be killed!"
The eunuch looked at the Taiming City that was right in front of him. At this time, many people had gathered up and down the city wall and outside the city. He then looked at the hundreds of soldiers blocking him in front of him, and they just remained silent.
Sitting on a good horse, neither forcing in nor leaving, closing eyes as if falling asleep.
When everyone thought that things might be a little difficult, the eunuch suddenly opened his eyes, opened the golden scroll in his hand, and read it loudly in front of everyone in the city with their mouths open.
When he got up, his voice spread throughout half of Taiming City under the instigation of zhenqi. It was only then that people discovered that this eunuch who could see people through his nostrils was actually a master!
"...Dading's border general Lu Dongfeng has made great achievements in guarding the border, and he is specially awarded the title of Great General Protecting the Country..."
Except for those complicated words, many of the people who were listening carefully inside and outside the city only understood this sentence. As soon as these words came out, no matter what else followed, the people who thought so were already cheering.
stand up.
After reciting the long edict, the eunuch still looked arrogant, but without pausing, he rode up to the young general and handed the rolled-up golden scroll to his hand, "Remember
Give this imperial edict to you, General Lu."
After saying that, he ignored everyone's reaction, turned around and left with everyone.
When the young general saw that the troops announcing the decree were really gone, he turned around and returned to the city. He did not return to camp like the others, but ran all the way up the city wall. He only saw two people on the top of the city gate, which was heavily guarded.
Standing side by side, one of them is wearing armor. When he looks back, he is the general Wang Ming. The other person is wearing a brocade hat and a mink fur coat. He has his sleeves folded up. It is the general of Lijun, Lu Dongfeng!
The young general took a few steps forward, held the golden scroll in both hands and bent down, saying, "General, please ask me to give this to the general!"
Lu Dongfeng didn't look back, he just said, "Just take it back and give it to your mother."
The young general looked up and saw that it was Lu Dongfeng's eldest son Lu Tieshan. At this moment, he was surprised, but he did not dare to ask any more questions. He bowed and turned around to leave.
Wang Ming watched Lu Tieshan leave and said slowly, "That's it, even if you don't want to accept this imperial edict, you can still accept it." He turned to look at Lu Dongfeng's side face, "Over there from the city...
.How to say?"
Lu Dongfeng's eyes looking into the distance were unfocused, "The prefect is not in Licheng now, so no one can make the decision on this matter. It's just that I will personally write a letter and send it to Xingcheng after this incident."
"I'm afraid it's not that simple," Wang Ming said with some worry, "I've heard them talk a lot lately, and I always feel that there will be some trouble."
"What's the trouble?" Lu Dongfeng asked calmly.
Wang Ming sighed softly, "Master Taishou...after all, you are still too young..."
"Being young does not mean being stupid," Lu Dongfeng no longer looked at the procession that was gradually disappearing, but turned to look south in the distance, his face always calm and indifferent, "The real trouble...
