I, the military god of the Tang Dynasty, have risen since I destroyed the Turks

Chapter 41 The Qin brothers plotted against Li Zheng
  "You said he served as General Dingyuan?"

heard.

Qin Jiansheng's expression changed completely.

He comes from a noble family. Although he has never been on the battlefield, he still knows the official positions in the officialdom.

General Dingyuan, for a first-class protector of the country, is still far behind in rank, but he can still be regarded as a mid- to high-level general in the army.

Unexpectedly, that kid Li Zheng, who had only been in the army for four months, would actually become a fifth-rank general.

This was something he never expected.

Li Zheng's promotion is indeed not good news for their brothers.

If only four months ago, when they picked up their sister Wan'er in Changzhi, Jinyang, they had not severely humiliated Li Zheng in person.

There may not be any shock when you hear the news.

But now that something like this happened, Li Zheng completely changed his identity and became a fifth-rank Dingyuan General at a young age.

His name was even listed separately in the Northern Expedition victory report for commendation.

This is unique among good news.

Now the emperor has no choice whether to pay attention or not.

As soon as the war was over, Li Zheng came to Chang'an with his military exploits and came to mention the taunting incident.

Not only would the Protector's Palace be embarrassed, but the current emperor would not stop Li Zheng from dating his sister for the sake of his military achievements.

If this matter spreads, it will not only cause a sensation in Chang'an City.

The entire people of Chang'an would laugh at their brothers for looking down on others and losing their father's reputation.

"That's right!"

Qin Haisheng nodded nervously and then asked:
  "Brother, what should we do?"

"Looking at the description in the battle report, the situation on the front line is excellent. The main Turkic forces have been wiped out, and only some remaining forces are left. It shouldn't take long for the war to end."

"When this kid comes to Chang'an and tells us what we did to ridicule and attack him in Changzhi four months ago, my Qin family will probably end up looking at people through a crack in the door and be laughed at by everyone in the world."

"Brother, let's see if we can make peace with that kid."

"Originally, there was no big hatred between us. It's just that he was a merchant at the time. How could he be worthy of my little sister, the daughter of the Duke of the country?"

"Now, he has been promoted to General Dingyuan at a young age. He is the only fifth-grade general in our Tang Dynasty who is fifteen years old. Pei Wan'er can still make do with it."

"Or just let them go!"

Hearing what Qin Haisheng said, the eldest brother Qin Jiansheng shook his head:

"I thought that I, a high-ranking first-grade Protector of the Country, would take the initiative to seek peace from a merchant and a fifth-grade Dingyuan General. If this spreads, it will be even more embarrassing."

"Who do you think our father is? The founder of the Tang Dynasty had a close relationship with the current emperor. Even though he has passed away, we cannot lose his reputation."

"what is it now?"

"This boy is now General Dingyuan, and he is highly regarded by Duke Wei and General Manager Li. I heard that he will be put in charge of the vanguard army. Once the war stops, this boy will definitely follow him to Chang'an to meet the emperor."

"If he comes to our government, our brothers can stop him."

His proposal was rejected by his elder brother, Qin Haisheng frowned and said.

Li Zheng's great achievements in the army were completely beyond the expectations of the Qin brothers.

They never imagined that a new recruit who had only been in the army for four months would become a fifth-rank Dingyuan general in a short period of time.

prior to.

In their imagination, a recruit like Li Zheng would most likely not be able to come back from the tragic battlefield with the Turks.

Unexpectedly, not only was this boy alive, but he was promoted to General Dingyuan at a young age.

The fifteen-year-old general of the fifth rank was the only one in the Tang Empire.

Moreover, his name was listed separately in the success report.

The emperor cannot remain indifferent.

I'm afraid I'll have to get promoted when I return to Chang'an.

This news is simply a disaster for the Qin brothers.

The Qin brothers were born into noble families, and they have a kind of arrogance engraved in their bones. Four months ago in Changzhi, when they faced the merchant Li Zheng, they showed arrogance and were definitely not pretending.

Now the situation is reversed.

Li Zheng, the lowly businessman at the time, had already taken up a fifth-rank official position based on his military merit, and could be promoted at any time.

Under normal circumstances, it would be normal for him to have a conflict with Li Zheng and now contact him to make peace.

Not some deep hatred.

But for noble sons like the Qin brothers, it was simply a humiliation for them to put down their dignity and take the initiative to make peace with Li Zheng. “Second brother!”

"Is there anyone in the Northern Expedition who left my Qin family?"

Qin Jiansheng's face looked gloomy as he held the tea cup.

"Brother, do you think so?"

Hearing this, Qin Haisheng's expression tightened.

"Although our father has passed away, the reputation of Lord Protector cannot be diminished!"

"Second brother, do you understand what I mean?"

Qin Jiansheng's tone was cold.

"But, brother!"

"Now this boy is not a new recruit, but a dignified fifth-grade general Dingyuan..."

Qin Haisheng naturally understood what his elder brother meant, and he hesitated. The Qin family had no deep grudge against this boy, so there was no need to be so cruel.

What's more, the opponent is already a senior general in the army, so it will not be easy to take action.

however.

Qin Jiansheng seemed to have made up his mind.

He didn't want to be laughed at in Chang'an City as a dignified protector of the country.

perhaps.

Most of the descendants of noble families must have such a arrogant character. They would rather get things done than put down their dignity and give in to make peace.

"Second brother."

"Don't have any worries."

"This is on the battlefield. The sword has no eyes. Let alone a fifth-grade Dingyuan general, what can a third-grade or fourth-grade general do?"

"Anything can happen on the battlefield."

"Now that this kid is dead, our Qin family can be considered clean."

"My sister will also give up, and the marriage between our Qin family and the eldest grandson's family will no longer bind us."

"Go and arrange it!"

Qin Jiansheng's eyes were ruthless.

at this time.

The housekeeper of the Duke's Mansion quickly came to their room.

"The Duke and the Second Master."

"Master Changsun is waiting for you to come over in the living room."

The butler complained loudly.

"Uh... Master Changsun is here."

Qin Jiansheng immediately stood up, turned around and whispered to Qin Haisheng:
  "When you see Mr. Changsun later, don't talk nonsense."

"Ok!"

Qin Haisheng nodded in agreement.

The two brothers walked toward the living room together.

"Young master grandson."

Entering the living room, the two of them bowed their hands to Changsun Tai, who was standing there waiting.

"Brother Qin!"

Changsun Tai also responded politely.

"Please sit down."

"Someone is here to serve tea to Mr. Changsun."

Qin Jiansheng said enthusiastically that although he is now a first-class Protector of the Country, he is still a hereditary duke after all.

Unlike Changsun Tai, her father, Changsun Wuji, was an official of Taiwei, Shangshu Youpu She, and Minister of Rites. He was the emperor's elder brother-in-law, and Empress Changsun was Changsun Tai's aunt.

Changsun Tai himself also served as the fifth-grade Qianniu Guard General in the palace.

With the blessing of these identities, Qin Jiansheng did not dare to neglect him at all.

He is now focused on the marriage between the Qin family and the eldest grandson family.
