Plane of Immortal Cultivation

Chapter 235 Yongan County Duke
Morning the next day.

The emperor sat on the dragon chair, showing a rare smile.

When he came up, he asked the eunuch to read yesterday's battle report to the ministers.

Qin Guan won a great victory, went deep into Xixia 100 miles, used a plan to ambush Zhang Wenxian's army, and wiped out more than [-] Xixia cavalry.

Hearing this news, many people were shocked and lamented that Qin Guan really used his troops like a god. If Qin Guan had luck in the previous two victories, this time he took the initiative to attack and wiped out the Xixia cavalry. Guan is indeed a genius in commanding troops.

Just after the eunuch finished reading the battle report, Zeng Yu suddenly stood up and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the minister visited Qin Guan to disobey orders and start a war wantonly. At the end of the war, it is likely that our country will fall into an even more unfavorable situation."

"The minister proposes to dismiss Qin Guan from all positions and bring him back to the capital for accountability."

Zeng Yu was also shocked when he heard the news of Qin Guan's victory last night.

Qin Guan's repeated military exploits showed signs of success, which gave Zeng Yu a great sense of crisis. He felt that Qin Guan should be taken down immediately, otherwise he might not have another chance in the future.

Lu Sheng, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, and Liu Kuan, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, stood up and reconsidered Zeng Yu.

Shen Zheng and the others knew at a glance that this was negotiated by Zeng Yu's party in advance, and he immediately stood up and said, "Your Majesty, Qin Guan has done nothing wrong, and he has made great contributions to the community."

Shen Zheng turned to Zeng Yu and said, "The Ministry of War has received information before that Xixia suddenly gathered [-] cavalry, and they are eyeing the front line of Hengshan. The disappearance of the army dispelled Xixia's arrogance, and made Xixia dare not invade our country again, so it became a wanton war in Zeng's mouth."

Zeng Yu said calmly: "The soldiers on the border of Xixia did not mobilize, but Qin Guan was sent there just for defense, but Qin Guan went directly to attack. Now Xixia has more excuses to send troops. This is not provoking war."

Shen Zheng said angrily: "Every one of us is aware of Xixia's plot, otherwise why would he gather a large army at the border at such a time? We have had five wars with Xixia before. Could it be that Prime Minister Zeng still wants to make peace with the enemy? No."

Zeng Yu said: "My country and Xixia have long had a peace agreement. Brother Xiu does not invade each other. Although there are occasional frictions on the border, the general direction is still peaceful. Qin Guan brazenly provoked the war, and the crime is heinous."

Shen Zheng sneered and said: "Master Zeng presided over the ceding of six states to the Liao Kingdom, and paid tribute every year. My Dazhao and the Liao Kingdom also had an agreement before that they would not invade each other, but how is it now? The Liao Kingdom is still raising 40 yuan. The army is coming to attack, trying to destroy my Great Zhao."

Zeng Yu's face was ugly when Shen Zheng said it, and just about to speak again, a majestic voice sounded in the hall.

"All right!"

As soon as the emperor opened his mouth, everyone shut up immediately.

The emperor glanced at the ministers, and suddenly felt a sense of disenchantment.

Before governing the court, he liked to use balance to keep the ministers checking each other. Although Zeng Yu was heavily used, he would not let Zeng Yu dominate the court. There were also Shen Zheng and others to check and balance. It was very interesting to watch the courtiers arguing and arguing below.

But now that the country's affairs are getting stronger, they are still arguing here, but they can't come up with anything real to save the country, which makes the emperor a little annoyed.

"Confer the rank of General Qin Guanzhen Yuan, lead the war in the north, and confer the title of Yong'an County Duke."

The emperor's words showed his attitude.

General Zhenyuan is a military officer with a second-rank rank, and the county magistrate of Yong'an is also a second-rank official. Now Qin Guan is a proper second-rank official and can wear purple robes.

After the dynasty was dispersed, news from the Golden Palace quickly spread.

Qin Guan has been promoted again. Compared with other people, his promotion speed is like riding a rocket. He jumped up. In two months, he went from the fifth rank to the current second rank.

In the Hanlin courtyard, a group of young Hanlins were drinking tea and chatting together, among them was Lin Yuan, and the others were also his friends.

Someone asked Lin Yuan, "You have a good relationship with Qin Guan, did you know that he used troops so well before?"

Lin Yuan put down his teacup and shook his head, sighing: "The first time I met Qin Guan was in the Oiran Competition where we secretly competed in poetry and lost completely. After that, we met each other, and we had similar tastes, and finally became friends."

"At that time, I only knew that he was good at poetry and prose. Later, I realized that his talent and learning were so outstanding. I couldn't tell that he was laughing and joking. Once at a party and drinking, Qin Guan's nature was very high. , and played a set of swordsmanship, we found out that he still possesses martial arts."

"He is a person, the more you get in touch with him, you will find that there are many mysterious things about him, and his abilities emerge in endlessly."

Lin Yuan continued: "We all know why Qin Guan didn't enter the Imperial Academy. We thought he would be hit very hard, but he happily went to Xiongzhou to take up his post. I originally thought that from then on, he would be washed away by the torrent of the secular world and become a Ordinary is no longer spiritual, but I was wrong again.”

"Since the Liao Kingdom invaded our Great Zhao, except for the defeat, the only few victories were fought by Qin Guan. When I heard the news, I really couldn't believe it. But after thinking about it, Shaoyou's body It’s not surprising that anything happened.”

Another Hanlin sighed: "You and I entered the Hanlin. I thought it was the best shortcut, but looking at Qin Zhuangyuan, it turned out that he took the shortcut. It has been less than a year since he was the champion. He is already a scholar of Guanwendian, a general of Zhenyuan, a magistrate of Yong’an County, and a second-rank official in Zipao, I am really envious of others.”

Lin Yuan shook his head: "This is what Shaoyou fought with his life. I asked myself, facing so many hardships and tens of thousands of Liao army, can we do what Shaoyou did? I definitely can't, so I don't need to wait." envious."

The Ministry of Households of Dazhao State.

There was a knock on the door of Qin Zhang's room, and Liu Chong, the servant of the household department, came in. Qin Zhang quickly stood up and saluted. Liu Chong said with a smile, "I came here to congratulate you, Yun Shang."

Qin Zhang was taken aback, "Where does the joy come from?"

"I'm afraid you don't know yet. In the Golden Palace just now, the officials personally conferred the title of General Zhenyuan and Duke of Yong'an County. Your Qin family is now a duke family." Liu Chong said.

Hearing the news, Qin Zhang was overjoyed, but then realized that the emperor must have made such a great reward for his son.

This time I have a military title, I'm afraid it's because of the war again, and I'm worried about my son again.

"The servant may know the details." Qin Zhang asked.

Liu Chong was about to tell everything he knew. When Qin Zhang knew that his son led troops into Xixia Baili and wiped out Zhang Wenxian's army, and heard that Zeng Xiang and other ministers in the court demanded that Qin Guan be severely punished, Shen Zheng defended Qin Guan, and in the end, his Majesty sealed Qin Guan with all his strength, and his body was covered with sweat.
