In his memory, this grandson seemed to always be submissive and never dared to speak loudly.
This time he actually offered to join the military and serve under Chu Ze?
Emperor Xia pondered for a moment and said: "Then let's make it this way. Liu Qianshan and Zhao Jizhe will both be incorporated into the Forbidden Army and serve as captains."
After such an incident, Emperor Xia was obviously affected. Instead of going out hunting, he asked a medical officer to treat the women first to see if their throats were hoarse due to the poison.
He also ordered money to be allocated to compensate these women so that they could maintain their subsequent lives.
It was impossible to hide such a big case from anyone. Except for everyone present, Emperor Xia directly announced to the outside world that Cai Wenguang was a spy of the Zhou Kingdom.
Although it is not stated explicitly, all ministers know that they must also have a unified voice when dealing with the outside world!
Although Chu Ze was verbally promoted to a partial general by Emperor Xia!
But regarding promotion, it was not something that could be done immediately after Emperor Xia said it.
The first is to have documents from the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and the second is to involve overall personnel changes!
Simply put, he needs to have a place!
A partial general of the Forbidden Army is still in charge of a thousand people. Now that he has an official position, what about the people?
If he occupies a position randomly, what about the general who was originally in this position?
At the very least, it has to be a smooth transfer, right?
This requires mobilization within the Ministry of War.
Then the official department will review and check it.
Therefore, even if Emperor Xia promoted Chu Ze to the rank of deputy general, but the internal transfer was not completed in a short period of time, Chu Ze would still remain the deputy general.
You have to go back to Kyoto to complete the procedures and make adjustments to the entire military and personnel departments before you can truly take office.
And during this process, some people began to have their thoughts on Chu Ze.
Such as Xu Yue!
This guy is quite optimistic about Chu Ze!
As the personal bodyguard specially designated by Emperor Xia to be at his side, he did not move when all the officials dispersed.
Emperor Xia looked back at him and said with a smile, "Is something wrong?"
"Yes. There is something I need to ask for your Majesty's approval in the end." Xu Yue said with an apologetic smile on his face.
"Say it!"
"The general wants to transfer Chu Ze to the general's command."
He was quite optimistic about Chu Ze's fight with the generals of the camp before. When he went to arrest people just now, Xu Yue was very satisfied with Chu Ze's performance. He praised Chu Ze in front of Emperor Xia: "That boy is strong and eloquent. Just now
That Cai Wenguang deceived people. Thanks to his timely response, a conflict was avoided. He has good foundation. It would be a pity for such a seedling to be thrown into a second-class unit like Shanziying. Why should he be transferred to the fifth guard?
.”
Emperor Xia looked at Xu Yue and pondered for a moment, but in the end he did not agree, but smiled and said: "You idiot, you're welcome, but you still have to ask Wen Qi about Chu Ze, after all, now,
But he is the most popular person in Shanziying."
In fact, it is not uncommon for the Fifth Guards to recruit good soldiers from each battalion, especially when new recruits join the army. The Fifth Guards have complete rights to recruit soldiers. In other words, Xu Yue is roaming around in the military camp.
When you see a new recruit with excellent fighting ability, if you raise your finger, the people of the Eighth Battalion will obediently send him to him.
But the problem is that this is not the case after the recruiting period.
No matter if the Fifth Guards wants someone, the Eighth Battalion may not give them to them!
In particular, changes in officer personnel must be approved by the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Personnel.
Now that Xu Yue wants to transfer Chu Ze to his subordinates, he must need Emperor Xia's approval.
But Emperor Xia is not stupid either!
Simply put, he is the supreme leader of the Forbidden Army!
There are five guards and eight battalions in the Forbidden Army, but they have no direct superiors.
Without a unified commander of the imperial army, it's not that it can't be established, but that it doesn't want to be established!
Since the founding of Daxia, it has been stipulated that the imperial army will be directly led by the emperor of Daxia.
It can be said that the Forbidden Army is the most direct military power in the hands of the Daxia emperor!
If external generals can rise up, then it is not feasible within the Forbidden Army, because the five guards and eight battalions involve a total of thirteen commanders. Unless these thirteen commanders betray Emperor Xia at the same time, nothing will happen to Emperor Xia's hands.
It requires soldiers and horses.
If one of them rebels, then Emperor Xia still has at least twelve troops at his disposal!
Similarly, if the position of President of the Imperial Guard really emerges, then under long-term leadership, obedience and ideological suppression and guidance will inevitably occur.
Just like Cai Wenguang, when he commits crimes, are all his soldiers really willing to follow him?
Not necessarily, but he can use certain powers to force soldiers into the water, and coupled with long-term ideological guidance, everyone becomes his followers.
To Emperor Xia, the Five Guards were indeed more elite soldiers, but similarly, the Eighth Battalion was also his support.
For the commander of the Fifth Guards and the Eighth Battalion, it is impossible for him to only care about the Fifth Guards and ignore the feelings of the Eighth Battalion Commander!
What would Wen Qi think if he gave the order directly?
So for this matter, he chose to call Wen Qi.
Soon, Wen Qi also arrived at Emperor Xia's camp.
Emperor Xia glanced at Xu Yue and said with a smile: "If you have something to do, you can discuss it with Commander Wen. If she agrees, I will naturally agree."
Xu Yue smiled cheekily and came to Wen Qi's side: "Commander Wen, that's it. Let me take a look at this kid Chu Ze. I like him as much as I like. Do you think you can transfer him to my subordinates? Anyway, I am currently under my command.
All the positions are full, and I just have a vacancy here!"
"Bah!" Wen Qi was furious, spat at Xu Yue, and angrily said: "Xu, don't bully others too much. You five guards usually eat well and use them well, and the new recruits are all yours."
Pick, Chu Ze was trained by our Shanzi camp, you just want to leave when you open your mouth? What a dream!"
Wen Qi turned to look at Emperor Xia, cupped her hands and said: "Your Majesty, I will not agree with this matter. Chu Ze is a rising star in our Shanzi camp. As for the position of partial general, it is left to the coordination between the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Personnel. But Chu Ze
We must stay in Shanziying."
When it's time to be tough, you also need to be tough.
Wen Qi has never been a weak person.
For a woman to be able to secure the position of one of the eight commanders of the Forbidden Army, apart from Chen Jinsong's help back then, her own abilities are not bad.
Emperor Xia looked at Xu Yue and said with a smile: "Commander Wen doesn't agree!"
In fact, Emperor Xia had already guessed this result.
However, when Xu Yue came to him, he couldn't refuse directly.
That’s why I specially called Wen Qi and went through the process.
In this way, wouldn’t the conflict be between Wen Qi and Xu Yue?
"It's too late for anyone to release your Eighth Battalion!" Xu Yue was scolded by Wen Qi, and his words were not polite.
He glanced sideways at Wen Qi and said, "If you are thinking about my future in Daxia, you should give Chu Ze to me. You are always thinking about your own selfish interests and cannot achieve anything big!"
"Xu, what nonsense are you talking about? For the sake of the future of Great Xia, our Shanzi camp is not the Forbidden Army of Great Xia? Your Tiger Cavalry Guard is strong, but it is His Majesty's favor. You don't really think so.
How powerful is your surname Xu? It’s a joke!”
The two were in tit-for-tat confrontation, with neither one willing to give in.
"Cough cough cough!" Seeing that the two people's words became more and more intense, Emperor Xia coughed a few times, and they both stopped talking at the same time.
"Xu Yue, look, Wen Qi doesn't agree, so let's leave this matter as it is for the time being."
Emperor Xia made a decision on this matter!
Wen Qi raised her chin proudly, glanced at Xu Yue with contempt, saluted Emperor Xia, and left!
Xu Yue was still angry: "What's so great!"
"Xu Yue, if you really want Chu Ze to join the Tiger Cavalry Guard, I can give you an idea!" Emperor Xia saw Wen Qi going out and said with a smile to Xu Yue.
Xu Yue was stunned for a moment, then said with great joy: "Your Majesty, please give me some advice!"
"Wen Qi doesn't make sense. You can find a way to persuade Chu Ze privately! As long as he agrees, I will naturally agree. Wen Qi won't be able to stop her by force. If you just want to take someone from Wen Qi,
Let’s go, but it’s not that easy!”
After hearing Emperor Xia's words, Xu Yue immediately raised his hands and said, "Thank you for your advice, Your Majesty! The general understands!"
After saying that, he exited the camp.
After visually observing that both of them had left, Huang Qi smiled and said: "Your Majesty is very clever. As a result, Wen Qi and General Xu both thought that Your Majesty was leaning towards them."
From Wen Qi's point of view, Emperor Xia asked for her opinion and made it clear that he was for her, otherwise he would just give the order. However, Xu Yue saw that Emperor Xia had given him an idea, so he naturally felt that the emperor was for her.
of.
Among the two people's senses, apart from being unhappy with each other, Emperor Xia was actually a good man.
Confidence flashed in Emperor Xia's eyes. He chuckled and said, "The court has been ups and downs for decades. How can young people like them escape from my methods?"
Having said this, he touched his chin, recalled Chu Ze's performance today, and said: "That Chu Ze, on the other hand, was a little beyond my expectations. Although today's idea is a bit shameless, in terms of the final effect, it is
It is in the interest of the imperial court."
Looking at Huang Qi, Emperor Xia sighed: "Do you think I and the officials can't think of this method? In fact, we have all thought of similar methods, but no one is embarrassed to say it. These literati still value reputation and reputation.
Feathers, I am even more so. If a majestic emperor openly proposes fraud, it will be too ugly, which is why things are difficult to handle. This Chu Ze doesn't care about reputation, yes, yes."
Fame is actually a very illusory thing.
However, many people still value it very much!
Because everyone lives under the words of others.
Everyone hopes that others will think highly of them, and everyone hopes that they can be admired by others.
In fact, in essence, most people have very strong moral values in front of others.
Even if he does ugly and dark things in private, at least in public, he still holds high the banner of morality, stands on the commanding heights of morality, and shows that he is a person with a full moral bottom line.
The duality of human beings is actually universal.
He also subconsciously avoids his own dark attributes in front of others.
But Chu Ze is a little different. After experiencing the era of expressing his inner thoughts on the Internet, when Chu Ze has seen too many dark methods and experienced the baptism of the money-oriented concept of laughing at the poor but not at prostitution, he doesn't care what others think of him!
He clearly knows that only being strong is the only criterion for survival!
Helping Emperor Xia solve his problems is an important way to gain capital from the court!
Chu Ze had already left the camp at this time!
Chu Ze planned to hunt ferocious beasts, and the reason was very simple. The power of Qi and blood in his body was almost completely absorbed by the physical body at this time.
For Chu Ze, the power of Qi and blood generated by the white dragon after eating was simply so refreshing.
The rich power of Qi and blood filling his whole body was simply not something he could compare to if he ate a meal of ferocious beast meat!
Originally, Chu Ze actually wanted to travel alone, but he happened to meet Liu Changfeng and Liu Hui'er, and Zhao Jizhe came over. He couldn't get rid of them, so he left together!
And now, because of what happened to Cai Wenguang just now, several of them have separated!
Chu Ze chose to leave without saying goodbye!
Go hunt the beasts yourself!
Under the night, Chu Ze came out of the military camp all alone. This time, he didn't even ride a horse.
He raised his eyes to look at the stars in the sky, made a judgment and put it down, Chu Ze rushed out at an extremely fast speed!
On the other side, inside Liu Qianshan's tent, he looked at Liu Changfeng.
Although, this son is very useless in his eyes.
But he is still his son after all!
At this time, Liu Changfeng was acting rogue: "I don't want to be a captain, I want to be a hero. Go and tell His Majesty. Give me the thousand taels of gold. Whoever wants to be a captain can be the captain!"
"Give up your damn dream of being a hero. If someone like you really goes to the arena, you will be hacked to death sooner or later!" Liu Qianshan hit his son unceremoniously.
Of course, in his opinion, he was only telling the truth.
"I"
Just as Liu Changfeng was about to argue, he was interrupted by Liu Qianshan: "You don't have to be unconvinced! You are very talented and your skills are not weak, but your behavior is too unruly and unorganized! Don't think that you are free in the world.
There are people and sophisticated people everywhere there. If nothing else, let me ask you, if you go to Jianghu, how will you make a living?"
Liu Changfeng didn't even think about it: "Of course I'm robbing the rich to give to the poor, and keep some for myself!"
"Snapped!"
Liu Qianshan turned around with just one slap!
"You bastard, do rich people deserve to die? Then does your father deserve to be hacked to death by a knight-errant?"
Liu Changfeng was very unconvinced: "Of course I want to find those who are unkind and want to get rich!"
"Haha, let me ask you, if you see a wealthy businessman beating up his waiter in the street, do you think he deserves to die?"
"yes!"
"Then what if the waiter's mother was seriously ill and the wealthy businessman subsidized the money, but the waiter used it for gambling, so he was beaten violently by the wealthy businessman?"
"This" Liu Changfeng was immediately speechless.
Liu Qianshan looked at him and said coldly: "What you see may not be true, and what you hear may not be true. Even if you investigate and get what you think according to your own ideas,
Really, can you guarantee that there will be no injustice? The so-called charlatans are just roosters, robbers, and robbers. They get something for nothing, rely on their cultivation, and do whatever they want. They have done countless dirty things secretly, and faced the poor people during the day.
Scatter some money and you will gain a great reputation! How true or false is it?"
Liu Qianshan's words made Liu Changfeng fall into doubt about life.
Liu Qianshan had basically been free-range with him before and had never told him this.
For a moment, he didn't know how to answer the call.
Liu Qianshan continued: "The state has national laws, and families have family rules. Most people in the world regard national laws as if they are nothing and act arbitrarily. This is definitely not a good thing."
Finally, Liu Changfeng thought of something: "Then if there are corrupt officials who run amok, just like Cai Wenguang, if a great hero comes, wouldn't it be clear already?"
"Fart! Cai Wenguang committed a heinous crime and deserves to die, but do you dare to guarantee that everyone is Cai Wenguang? These people raise the butcher's knife at will, who knows whether it will fall on innocent people?"
"I still want to be a hero! I'm not going to be that captain! Go and give me the money and get it back! It's amazing that I go to the world to steal from rich people to make a living. If I steal less, they will treat me as charity!"
Liu Changfeng was not moved.
Instead, it shows extremely low moral quality!
"Where are the heroes who steal for a living?"
"No one will know if I don't tell you! Give me the thousand taels of gold and get it back. I don't want to be a captain of the imperial army!"
Liu Changfeng's attitude is extremely determined
Liu Qianshan looked at him and felt a headache!
Seeing that Liu Qianshan seemed unmoved, Liu Changfeng sneered: "Your son, you know all about my virtues. You don't think that the salary from the Forbidden Army is enough for me, do you? If you insist on letting me go, don't blame me for depriving you."
Military salary is used to line one's own pockets. The bigger the official, the more corruption! When things happen, you can take care of it yourself!"
Hearing this, Liu Qianshan was speechless.
Could my son do such a thing?
He really wasn't sure. And from the bottom of his heart, he was not afraid that Liu Changfeng would enrich himself, but that he was too greedy to understand.
"You don't have to do it, Captain, but the one thousand taels of gold will definitely be gone. When I return to Beijing, I will make up for you with two thousand taels of silver, and that'll be it!"
Liu Qianshan finally gave up on his method of not daring to bet on his son's character.
Liu Changfeng curled his lips and said: "It's useless for you to still be the prime minister of the imperial court. You have gone through so much trouble and lost a thousand taels of gold. You have to pay for it yourself, and I have less money. In other words, you are my father. If it were someone else, I would definitely
Refuses to rest!"
Looking at Liu Changfeng who kept complaining, Liu Qianshan couldn't help but beat his chest: "What a sin! How did you give birth to such a sin!"
While talking, he picked up the sole of his shoe and hit Liu Changfeng on the head.
At the same time, in Leizi Camp.
The sergeants were all talking about Chu Ze.
In other words, all the forbidden troops are discussing this matter.
"Have you heard? Then Cai Wenguang turned out to be a spy of the Zhou Kingdom, deliberately harming our people in Daxia!"
"It's so hateful! I pity those brothers for having such a boss!"
"But Chu Ze has made meritorious service again. I heard that he has been promoted to a general."
"Isn't this what it should be? Last time we competed for food and salary, that guy was the first. He was the only deputy general who defeated many generals of the Fifth Guards and Eight Battalions. Even our general Ye was defeated by him."
In the military, the strong are respected.
For those who have strength, everyone's recognition will be higher!
After Chu Ze won the championship last time, he is now famous among the five and eight battalions of the Forbidden Army.
This is the hidden benefit!
So when they heard that Chu Ze was promoted again for his meritorious service, everyone thought it was natural.
Because in public perception, Chu Ze's strength has exceeded his current position.
Ye Han also heard a lot of discussions about Chu Ze.
He was already itching his teeth with hatred.
Although Ye Zhihai had clearly warned him last time to adjust his mentality.
But when things really came to light, he felt really uncomfortable when he heard that Chu Ze had made a meritorious service.
"Just wait. When the noble disciples are over and the sergeants of the Fifth Guards and Eighth Battalions go on a hunting tour, I will definitely not lose to you!" Ye Han gritted his teeth secretly!
He didn't know that Chu Ze had already taken advantage of the darkness and headed straight to the east.
Chu Ze had gained some information from Cai Wenguang before.
