Chapter 416: Promoted to Second Class Guard
Facing the emperor, Li Cheng was very nervous, but he still answered the emperor's questions one by one according to what the empress wrote in the letter.

After listening to Li Cheng's answer, Feng Chenghan was silent for a moment, then tapped the imperial desk with his semi-smooth index finger and middle finger. "Potatoes are a high-yielding food. Although it was Concubine Leng who discovered its high yield and dedicated it to me, you, the one who sent potatoes to the cold palace, are also meritorious. What reward do you want?"

Li Cheng knelt on the ground, his heart beating wildly, "That potato was brought into the palace by chance by Wei Chen. Wei Chen did not dare to claim credit, let alone ask for rewards from the emperor."

He was not in a hurry to claim credit or reward, which suited Feng Chenghan's wishes.Unlike Zhang Su, he has the talent to control floods. He only got the potatoes by chance, and he is not proficient in planting. Otherwise, he would have been sent to Danong Temple.

"Can I make you a second-class bodyguard?" Feng Chenghan lowered his delicate eyes and asked Li Cheng.

He knew that Li Cheng was a member of Concubine Leng and often visited Lengxiang Palace. In the past, he would never have placed such a person who was involved with the concubines in the harem closer to him, but now he doesn't mind putting someone close to him. Put Concubine Leng's people beside her.

The second-class bodyguard is a fourth-grade military officer. He is in charge of the palace guards and the emperor's retinue. He is relatively close to the emperor.

"I would like to thank you for your kindness. Long live my emperor. Long live my emperor." Li Chengsan shouted long live and kowtowed to express his gratitude.

When he left the palace, Li Cheng's whole body was floating. His feet seemed to be stepping on cotton, without a down-to-earth feeling.

After walking out of the palace, he looked back at the majestic palace, slapped his forehead, and suddenly remembered that he had forgotten to thank Concubine Leng.

However, it was a bit late to go now. He thought it would be the same if he went there tomorrow, so he went back to the shop directly.

Zhang Su, Wang Ping, and Sun Ming were all waiting for him in the shop. When they reached the backyard, the three of them immediately walked out of the small hall and asked him, "How is it?"

"The emperor appointed me as a second-class bodyguard," he said.

Zhang Su smiled and patted his shoulder and said, "Okay, the second-class bodyguard is a fourth-grade military officer. Brother Cheng, your current official position is higher than mine."

"In other words, you are temporarily taking the position of Minister of the Ministry of Works. If you can make achievements during this period, the position of Minister of the Ministry of Works is not yours. A fourth-grade minister is better than a fourth-grade military officer." Although both are fourth-grade ministers. There is a big gap between the fourth rank of civil servants and the fourth rank of military officials.

Because the Minister of the Ministry of Industry chose to support the rebels when they rebelled against Feng Chengye, and was dismissed from his post and his house was confiscated. The position of Minister of the Ministry of Industry was vacant, so the emperor thought of Zhang Su.However, there would naturally be objections from the courtiers if he was directly appointed as the Minister of Works, so he temporarily replaced him. If he could make some achievements, he could be directly appointed as the Minister of Works.

Wang Ping and Sun Ming looked at Li Cheng and Zhang Su, unable to hide the envy on their faces.

"Let's find a place to have a drink," Zhang Su said.He and Li Cheng had both been promoted. They must be envious, and they might even feel a little bit dissatisfied. He still had to have a heart-to-heart talk with them about some things.

"it is good."

The group of people found a private room in a restaurant and ordered a table of good wine and food.

First, he toasted to congratulate Li Cheng. After drinking for three rounds, Zhang Su started chatting with them heart-to-heart.

After talking about the reason why the empress would give this credit to Li Cheng, she also said that if the empress thinks of Li Cheng, no matter what good things happen to her in the future, she will definitely think of them. She asked them to be patient and not to be anxious. No matter what official position they hold, The four of them are still closer than real brothers, and they will all need to support each other in the future.

He also said that the people are now saying that the emperor should make the young prince the prince. Concubine Li and Bai Jieyu are vying for the position of queen again. What they have to do now is to exert force on the emperor to make the young prince the prince.

If the young prince becomes the prince, the empress will have a better chance of becoming the queen. If the empress becomes the queen, all of them can rise to the top and change their families.Wang Ping and Sun Ming nodded and said: "We all understand this. Now that we rely on the empress, we have nothing to worry about. Even if we are to be cold palace guards in the future, the two of us have nothing to do with each other."

"That's right." Sun Ming also agreed.The empress has already been very kind to them, so they will not be dissatisfied because the empress gave Zhang Su and Li Cheng the opportunity and credit.What a human being!What's yours will always come to you, and what's not yours, don't feel unhappy just because others have it. You must know how to be content with what you have, and don't be that greedy person.

Zhang Su said with a smile: "It's good for the two brothers to think so." He lowered his voice and said, "In the past two days, ministers in the court have come to see me, and their words have the intention of supporting the empress and the young prince. Now the emperor has sealed If Brother Cheng becomes the second-class bodyguard, there may be more people who want to support the empress and the young prince, because in the eyes of outsiders, all of us guards who guard the cold palace belong to the empress." The emperor promoted the empress's people to the second-class bodyguards, and outsiders Judging from the Sacred Heart, you will naturally feel that the emperor is supporting the empress.

The bustle in the world is all for the sake of coming, and the hustle and bustle of the world is all for the sake of going away.Some people who have no foundation at all will not care that my mother's previous father was a treacherous person.

"When the time comes, I would like to unite with those who support the empress and the young prince, and ask for the edict to make the young prince the prince and the empress the queen." And this time is when the emperor will tell the world about the high-yield potatoes offered by the empress.

"But before that, we have to build momentum among the people for the empress and the little prince." Zhang Su whispered to Wang Ping and the others one by one on how to build momentum for the empress and the little prince.

Concubine Leng and the young prince are close to the people and win the hearts of the people. What they have to do is to spread the word that the young prince is the reincarnation of a real dragon and can command all beasts. He once made the wolves retreat and saved the old ministers, concubines and female relatives in the harem. Concubine Leng, a beautiful woman with a kind heart, can do good deeds to benefit all people and do good deeds.

As the saying goes, he who wins the hearts of the people wins the world. What they have to do is to make the empress and the little prince more popular with the people.

Wang Ping and others listened carefully and took it to heart.

Sun Ming was supposed to be on duty at night, but he found someone to take over the shift, so he drank with Zhang Su and the others until dark.

Wang Ping returned home in vain. Wang Ping's wife opened the door, smelled the smell of alcohol on his body, and while complaining, she helped him into the room.

"Why did you drink so much?" Wang Ping's wife first helped him to lie down on the Arhat bed. He was already drunk. If he was helped to the bed and vomited on the bed, the bedding would be difficult to wash.

"I'm happy, happy, my brother Li Cheng has been promoted."

Wang Ping's wife, who was turning to pour water, heard this and immediately turned back.

"Promoted? Why did Li Cheng get promoted?" He quickly sat on the Arhat bed and asked. "how about you?"

"I haha...burp" he burped, "No."

"Why? You are all guards guarding the cold palace, why did Li Cheng get promoted?" Wang Ping's wife pushed him away anxiously.

Today they were all waiting for Li Cheng in the backyard of the shop, which she found a little strange, but the shop was busy at that time, and when Li Cheng came back, she didn't go to the backyard to take a look. She didn't expect that it was Li Cheng who had been promoted.

She always felt that her man was no worse than any of the three of them, and even better than Zhang Su.Zhang Su didn't say anything anymore. Why did Li Chengdu get promoted this time, but her man didn't?
"Of course the empress gave him the credit, and the emperor made him a second-class bodyguard." Li Cheng said in a daze with his eyes closed.

"Still a bodyguard." It turned out that he was still a bodyguard. She thought he was like Zhang Su, a doctor at the Ministry of Industry!
In the eyes of Wang Ping's wife, there is no difference between the cold palace guards and the second-class guards. They are both guards.

"You ladies, don't you know? A second-class guard is a serious fourth-grade military position."

"What?" Wang Ping's wife exclaimed, she turned out to be a fourth-grade military officer. Isn't that one level higher than Zhang Su's official position?
