Chapter 286 Xu Lang's promotion
What's wrong? The emperor asked unhappily. After arguing for so long, I finally settled down, and someone came up to find something that was fine. It was really annoying.
The emperor, Lord Shen’s younger brother married the daughter of Marquis Yongning, and the Chen Yan family was in-laws. What should I do if Lord Shen favored Marquis Yongning? The minister looked worried.
It’s a pity that Xu Lang, Cheng Jue and Shen Baiyu had low positions and were not qualified to attend the court meeting in the Golden Palace, so they did not have the opportunity to argue with the minister. The upright Duke Jing Guo was disgusted with it and cursed in a low voice, judging a gentleman’s heart as a villain.
The emperor narrowed his eyes and stared at the minister and said: I have decided, only the three of them. As for you, I will go to the Ministry of Revenue to raise grain and military funds and escort them to the border.
It is not a good job to escort food and grass to the border. The minister took the order and retreated back to his original position in a mournful manner. Other ministers dared not say much.
After three days, the emperor ordered.
Things settled, and after receiving the emperor's order, Xu Lang, Cheng Jue and Shen Bomi were both stunned. But Thunder and Rain were both emperor's kindness. The three of them went home to tell their families to pack their luggage and prepare to go out of the border.
Why would you three let me go? Chen Danxia asked while cleaning up.
It was recommended by Duke Pei of the Three of us, which should be what King Yan meant. Xu Lang took a sip of the tea.
Chen Danxia understood that King Yan was cultivating his own power to seize the throne. However, the border war was in full swing, and Xu Lang and the other two were in danger. Chen Danxia dropped his clothes and walked over and got into his arms. Will it be successful if he didn't go?
Xu Lang hugged her and called out: Jiuer
Okay, I know. Chen Danxia sniffed, and I just said that the day of his departure has been decided, and you must go. The emperor's order is hard to violate, and Xu Lang is a military position. If you want to be promoted, you must make military achievements. If there is no general around King Yan, Xu Lang might not be the turn of going to the border this time.
Jiuer, I will come back soon. Xu Lang said softly.
Well, Chen Danxia was in his arms. When marching and fighting, you should pay attention to strategy. Never make a rash move or act recklessly.
I know, don’t worry about me, we will come back safely, believe me. Xu Lang said sincerely.
Chen Danxia smiled slightly, I believe in you.
Three days later, Xu Lang, Cheng Jue and Shen Bomi came out with 600 elite soldiers; looking at the son-in-law in military uniform, Tao was in a daze. In his dream, Xu Lang was a general who had made great achievements in military achievements. After the palace transformation, she found a way to make him take Master Cai as his teacher and wanted to send him on another beautiful road. However, fate began, and Xu Lang finally walked to the battlefield.
Because of the border affairs, the Xu family, Shen family, Cheng family and Yan family had a very depressing New Year. Until the Lantern Festival, news of the great victory of the Dafeng army came from the border. The long-lost Yan family father and son and personal guards suddenly appeared behind the Three Kingdoms coalition forces and attacked Xu Lang in front and back. The Three Kingdoms coalition forces were defeated, and the main general in Southern Myanmar was captured.
The news of the victory reached Jindu not only cleared the stigma of the Yan family's father and son's surrender, but also slapped the court officials who said the Yan family's father and son's treason; Empress Zhao failed to steal chickens and lost the rice, and the reputation of the Yan family's father and son in the army increased again, and Xu Lang also became famous in one battle.
The next thing is war or harmony, it depends on the emperor's meaning.
The emperor was very angry at the actions of the villain in the South Myanmar. He wanted to do something in his heart to destroy the South Myanmar Kingdom. But Siam and Phazhu also participated in the war this time. Although Dafeng is a big country, he had to fight against the three countries with the power of one country. The emperor couldn't help but hesitate. Empress Zhao took the opportunity to persuade him: Long live, the front line is too long, and he will focus on one and the other, and this great victory is completely a lucky chance, so let's discuss peace.
Many court officials in the court also agreed to discuss peace, and the emperor decided to discuss peace. In fact, when Cheng Jue was sent with him, Gao Jue thought that the war would eventually end with peace. When the emperor's will was delivered to the pass, the hostile Three Kingdoms also sent ministers to negotiate when they were defeated.
During the armistice and peace talks, Cheng Jue can show up, and with the help of the Yan family father and son, Shen Bomi began to secretly investigate the rebels in the army.
The emperor's reward was sent to the Yongning Marquis Mansion and Xu's Mansion like water; the Yongning Marquis Mansion, which was deserted, was once again full of guests. The Yongning Marquis's wife refused all the posts she asked for. She went to the Shen family by herself and thanked the Tao family for following the promise of marriage and helping each other when the Yan family was in danger.
The peace talks at the border were not over yet, and the army was still stationed there. The Yan family and Xu Lang could not return to the court. The family in Jindu were eager to see each other. Zhuangzhuang, who wanted his father, asked again: Mom, how long will it take for Dad to come back?
It was almost gone. Chen Danxia was frowning, and she also looked forward to him coming back, but she didn't know when he would come back.
In mid-February, the peace talks ended, and Xu Lang and others could return to Jindu. After Mrs. Yongning learned the news, she sent someone to pass the news to the Xu family and the Cheng family. Chen Danxia happily said to her sons: Fat, Zhuangzhuang, your father is coming back.
Pang Pang Zhuang, who was carefully reading the fairy tale picture book drawn by Chen Danxia, raised his head and looked at her quietly, lowered his head to continue. They had heard this many times, but their father had not come back yet, so they should not believe their mother's words.
You are so unlovely. Chen Danxia pouted and went to Dongshaojian.
Brother, my mother pretended to be angry again. Fatty said.
Should we coax it? Zhuangzhuang asked.
Dad is not at home. Fatty said.
I'm almost back. Zhuangzhuang said.
The two brothers focus on the key points, so they should go and coax them. In order not to be spanked by dad.
The wet nurse who was serving next to her covered her mouth and did not dare to laugh out loud. Her shoulders were shrugging. The two young masters pretended to be mature and were so cute.
One evening half a month later, Xu Lang returned home and went to the courtyard to meet Mrs. Xu first. Mrs. Xu was happy and moved when her grandson came back safely. If Xu Kui had not been unkind to be a father, her grandson would not have to work so hard, but she could make achievements without relying on her ancestors, and she was proud of her.
After chatting for a few words between the grandparents and grandchildren, Mrs. Xu didn't stay him for long and beat him back to Lingxiyuan. Chen Danxia already knew that Xu Lang was back and was looking forward to the yard. Looking at the man who had lost weight in the black circle, he felt distressed and rushed over and hugged him. The next second, he pushed the person away. It smells so smelly. How long has it been since you hadn't taken a shower?
After riding a horse for a day, Xu Lang knew that his little wife was sensitive to the smell, but he really couldn't avoid it. The hot sun and the rising dust made him unable to keep it clean.
Go and take a shower, I'll help you get your clean clothes. Chen Dan frowned and said, "
Since there were two little guys, the Lingxi Courtyard was always hot water, and Xu Lang wanted to take a shower, and the servants immediately sent it into the bathroom. Xu Lang untied his clothes and soaked them in a wooden barrel. Chen Danxia hugged the clean clothes and put them on the wooden bench next to him, and looked up to see the wound on his back.
Chen Danxia's heart trembled, he stretched out his hand, covered the scar, and asked softly: Does it still hurt?
It didn't hurt. Xu Lang turned around and held her soft little hand. Seeing her tears in her eyes, he leaned over and kissed her in the corner of her eyes. When he went to the battlefield, he would inevitably suffer some minor injuries.
Is this a small injury? Chen Danxia glared at him, with such a scar, did he think she was a fool? Such a big knife wound is enough to let him lie on for a few days. I don’t like the injuries on you, so I will apply ointment to you later.
OK. Xu Lang smiled dotingly.
Xu Lang took a shower, and the fat Zhuangzhuang, who was standing under the eaves, looked at him. After hesitating for a long time, he said timidly: Daddy? His tone is a little uncertain. Xu Langhei has lost a lot of weight, which is a bit different from his father in his impression. The two little guys hesitated.
Xu Lang laughed loudly, picked up Pangpang and raised her high, put down Pangpang, and then went to pick Zhuangzhuang. Chen Danxia came out of the bathroom and shouted anxiously: Are you crazy? Your injury has not healed yet, put Zhuangzhuang down quickly.
It's okay, the injury has been healed, but it's just a scar left on his body. Xu Lang took Zhuang Feng over his head, making Zhuang Zhuang giggle.
If you want to break the wound, don't expect me to apply medicine to you. Shendan is cold and cool.
Madam, don’t be so cruel. Xu Lang put down Zhuangzhuang, touched the heads of his two sons, and played with them another day.
Pang Pang Zhuang didn't make a fuss. One of them held Xu Lang's hand, and the father and son entered the house, and Chen Danxia also walked in. Xu Lang leaned on the lead pillow, and Pang Pang Zhuang sat next to him. Xu Lang asked with a smile: Tell me, what have you learned in the past few months?
My mother taught us to sing a small song. Pangpang said with a cracked mouth.
My mother also taught us to recite poems. Zhuangzhuang and proud and authentic.
You sing the song first, and then recite the poem to your father. Xu Lang smiled.
The two little guys discussed it, stood by the couch and started singing a small song. Two tigers, two tigers ran fast, one without ears. The two little guys covered their ears, one without tail. The two little guys touched their butts, it was strange, it was strange.
Xu Lang scratched his head, what was the song singing? It was strange. Chen Danxia saw him look confused and burst into laughter, saying: Children's rhymes, just sing fun, just fun, don't worry about what it means. Okay, two little guys, let's sing the second one.
There is a vine tree in front of Amen Ah, and the green land of Ahnen is just sprouting. The two little guys look like they are blooming with their hands.
The snail was carrying the heavy shells and climbed up step by step. The two little guys were crawling, and two orioles were on the tree. Ah Xi was laughing at it. The grapes were ripe early, so what were you doing now? Ah Huang Ya Huang Ya Er, don’t laugh, you will mature when I climb on it.
This little song is very complete. Xu Lang praised it, just like a little story.
Dad, are we not singing well? Zhuangzhuang pouted his mouth.
It was well-sung, very well. This song should only be found in heaven and in the world. Xu Lang touched the heads of the two guys and said.
Pang Pang Zhuang looked at each other, but he didn't understand the second half of the sentence, but it didn't matter. I understood the meaning of the previous one. The two little guys happily began to recite poems, Pang Pang Pang, the green sunset in the garden. Pang Pang Pang Pang, waiting for the sun to dry in the morning.
Yangchun Budeze.
All things shine.
I am often afraid that the autumn festival will come.
The flowers and leaves are fading.
All rivers east to the sea.
When will you return to the west?
Don’t work hard when you are young.
The old man is sad.
The two brothers recited a "Long Song" and received praise from their father and kissed them from their mother. After playing for a while, Chen Danxia asked the maid to bring the supper in and the family of four had supper.
The little separation is better than the newlyweds. The next day, Chen Danxia slept until the beginning of Si. The two little guys said: Mom, you are so lazy.
Another said: Mom, you are a lazy woman.
Chen Danxia pretended to be angry and rolled up his sleeves and said: Don’t think that your father can beat people, so do I. You two, stick out your butts for me.
Hehehe. The two little guys ran away. Mom, if you catch us, we will beat you.
Although the two little guys had short legs, they ran slowly. One ran left and the other ran right. Chen Danxia didn't chase him. He sat on the railing panting and said: Come here and let me hit you three times, otherwise, when your father comes back, I will complain and let your father beat you hard.
Mom, you can't be so naughty. Fatty pouted.
The complainant was not the good boy. Zhuangzhuang pouted.
I just want to be slutty, I just want to complain. Chen Danxia likes to pretend to be childish and tease his son.
Pang Pang Zhuang looked at each other from the air, walked to Chen Danxia slowly and raised her butt; Chen Danxia patted her two sons' butts with satisfaction three times.
Just as Shen Danxia was playing with his son, Shen Bomi was facing the saint. He took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and presented it with both hands. Long live the emperor. This is the list of the traitors in the army that the minister found. Please check it out.
The eunuch stepped forward and took the paper and sent it to the emperor. The emperor looked at the list and frowned. There were two deputy generals who had served in the army for many years, but how could they be spies? The emperor asked seriously: Can you verify it? General Ji had arbitrarily judged that the Yan family father and son had treasoned for surrender without verification. If the King of Yan and others had not tried their best to stop him, he would have put all the Yan family in prison.
Long lively, they all committed suicide because they were afraid of the crime. The Marquis of Yongning said in a deep voice.
But these spies died, but their families were trapped in boundless hell. With the merciless decrees coming, a bloody catastrophe caused the seven families to be destroyed. Those who married these families were somewhat affected, some were demoted and some were dismissed.
The Marquis of Yongning, who made great achievements, did not ask the emperor for any reward, and said modestly: If Lord Xu had not found the ministers and sons in time and discussed the tactics of attacking front and back, we would not have defeated the Three Kingdoms coalition so easily and returned to the court with victory.
The Yongning Hou, who had originally planned to retire, took the opportunity to hand over the military power. Yan Jintian also divided half of the 300,000 troops in his hand to Xu Lang. The emperor was satisfied, and the Yongning Hou was very tactful. Empress Zhao was so angry that she almost vomited blood. She obviously wanted General Qiao to take power, not Xu Lang.
Xu Lang was promoted to the fourth-rank general Zhongwu and the Imperial Guard. He led troops during the war and protected the emperor without fighting. Cheng Jue and Shen Bomi, one had just entered the Honglu Temple and the other had just arrived at Dali Temple, and he was not promoted. The emperor issued an order to commend the Miao and Tao, saying that they were good at teaching their children and rewarded some gold and several farms.
Empress Zhao suppressed the discomfort and issued an order to give Chen Danxia the imperial decree to the Wang family and Yuan Qingyin. Chen Danxia was a fourth-rank Gong person, and Wang family and Yuan Qingyin were a sixth-rank An person. From this, it can be seen that military generals were promoted faster than civil servants during wartime.
