The Soldier of the Ming Dynasty

Li Yuanqing had just returned to his residence and changed his clothes. A moment later, the familiar voice of the leading eunuch sounded outside the door, "General Li, have you got up yet?"

Li Yuanqing waited for a few seconds. He pretended to get up from the bed and said, "father-in-law, wait a moment. I'll be up in no time

Pretending to be dressed on purpose, Li Yuanqing opened the door a few minutes later and said with a busy smile: "Grandpa, you have come here so early. I am really sorry."

Said, a 50 Liang silver note, and stuffed in his hand.

The leading eunuch was very happy, "General Li, what's the hard work? Let's hurry up. The morning will begin soon. "

Li Yuanqing didn't dare to neglect him. He simply washed his clothes and arranged his official robes. He followed the eunuch and rushed to the hall where the early court was held.

The rain still does not stop, pattering, people's mood is also a little irritable.

Tonight, Li Yuanqing's labor is a little too much, and his steps are a little flighty. Fortunately, he is young and strong, and he can still hold on.

More than half an hour later, Li Yuanqing came out of the hall. At this time, there were already a lot of big red officials' robes, and they began to walk towards the hall one after another.

The chief eunuch handed the umbrella to Li Yuanqing and said in a low voice, "General Li, wait here for a while. I'll get you some breakfast."

Li Yuanqing looked at him gratefully, "thank you, father-in-law."

Although Li Yuanqing is already a famous general in the world, at this time, he is only a member of the general, and the title of chief military officer has not been implemented.

According to the practice of Ming Dynasty, Wen is superior to Wu, even if he is the commander in chief, there is no rest room for him.

The rest room next to the main hall is also very difficult for ordinary civil servants to enjoy. It is a place for senior members of the cabinet.

At this time, Li Yuanqing did not have the qualification to participate in the court meeting, nor could he enter the hall directly. He had to wait in the rain outside the hall.

Fortunately, Li Yuanqing did a good job in the palace. With an umbrella in it and it was summer, there was no big problem.

As waves of officials entered the hall.

At this time, a familiar figure appeared in front of Li Yuanqing. It was Chen Zhong.

Like Li Yuanqing, he also wants to be granted a reward in today's great court.

Chen Zhong was very happy to see Li Yuanqing and said, "Yuanqing, when did you come here?"

Li Yuanqing's heart had stabilized, and he said with a smile, "brother, I've just arrived. How are you doing here? "

Chen Zhong said with a smile, "Duke Wei has already sent a message to me. Deputy General of Guanglu island is subordinate to your commander-in-chief of Changsheng island."

Li Yuanqing couldn't help but be overjoyed and said with a low smile, "big brother, this is really great."

Chen Zhong also said with a low smile, "Yuanqing, Congratulations! Ha ha ha! The south of Liaoning is finally under the control of our brothers. "

There are also officials walking in one after another. Li Yuanqing quickly motioned Chen Zhong with his eyes. Don't talk any more. Go back and talk about something.

Chen Zhong understood himself. They stood in the rain with umbrellas and watched the senior members go to court.

With the sound of the bell, the dynasty in the hall officially began.

At this time, the leading eunuch quickly ran over with two cages of steamed stuffed buns, and whispered, "General Li, the imperial dining room is very busy today, and I can't get a better one. That's all. Don't be disgusted. "

Then he conjured again and took out a bamboo water cup from his arms.

Li Yuanqing said in a hurry: "the benevolence and righteousness of my father-in-law are remembered in my heart. I haven't asked your father-in-law's name yet

The leading eunuch said with a smile, "General Li, I don't care about my humble name. Lu Nian, the eunuch in the imperial study. "

Li Yuanqing quickly arched his hand and said, "Duke Lu, remember your humble duty."

Duke Lu said with a smile, "General Li, I don't want to disturb you two. I'm going to leave first."

With that, he left quickly.

Chen Zhong couldn't help admiring him. "Yuanqing, you are really, ah, my brother is convinced."

No wonder Li Yuanqing can be promoted to general, but he can only be promoted to vice general.

Soon, the sky was bright, the rain stopped, and the sun appeared from the East.

But more than an hour later, Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong did not get news to meet.

Chen Zhong and others were impatient and said in a low voice, "Yuanqing, what's the situation? Why isn't it our turn yet? "

Li Yuanqing was also worried. He said in a low voice: "don't panic, brother. It should be soon. "

It was not easy to look forward to such a great dynasty. The eunuchs and Donglin's mouth cannons must be indispensable, and Li Yuanqing had to be patient.

Fortunately, after eating and drinking some water, they were able to hold on.

After waiting for about half an hour, it was almost 8 o'clock in the morning. Finally, a eunuch came to deliver a message, "the emperor announced that Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong would meet."

They did not dare to neglect them. They followed the eunuch quickly and ran towards the hall.With the experience of the last award, both Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong understood the rules of the audience. They first kowtowed at the door, took a few steps, and then kowtowed their heads again. Only then were they led to the center of the hall, kneeling down on the ground, waiting for the reward.

Soon, some eunuchs began to sing and read. After a lot of nonsense, the eunuch sang: "Liaodong Dongjiang general and Changsheng Island Dusi Li Yuanqing made great contributions to resist the enemy, and was promoted to be the commander in chief of Changsheng island. His son Changsheng Island inherited thousands of households and controlled the war in Southern Liaoning Province!"

Long live my emperor

Li Yuanqing quickly kowtow to thank him, but suddenly found that, beside the emperor Tianqi, empress Zhang, wearing a multicolored Golden Phoenix crown and elegant golden palace dress, was looking at herself with a smile.

Although the distance is far away, Li Yuanqing can still see that empress Zhang's face is much better today. Even though she worked hard last night, she is still very energetic.

Damn it.

Li Yuanqing spit hard in his heart, and women really need watering.

Next to him, Duke Lu was stunned. He never dreamed that the famous Li Yuanqing was in a daze on the reward granted by the imperial court. He quickly reminded him in a low voice, "General Li, thank you very much."

Li Yuanqing came back to his senses and kowtowed again.

After finishing the process, the emperor said with a smile, "General Li, I'm waiting for you to make new contributions."

The emperor's voice was not big, but the design of the hall was very good, and the sound clearly reached Li Yuanqing's ears.

Li Yuanqing quickly kowtowed: "to serve the emperor, to open up the land for the Ming Dynasty, humble duty will be completely destroyed, never die!"

The little emperor seemed to be in a good mood, and encouraged Li Yuanqing with a smile. Duke Lu quickly motioned Li Yuanqing to step aside.

Next came Chen Zhong's award, which was similar to Li Yuanqing. He was promoted to Deputy General of Guanglu Island, and his son, Guanglu Island, was hereditary Deputy Qianhu, under the administration of Changsheng island of Li Yuanqing.

After the reward was granted, there was no room for Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong to speak. They kowtowed to the emperor Tianqi again and withdrew from the hall under the guidance of Duke Lu.

"General Li, General Chen, Congratulations!" Lu Gonggong hurried to beg for the two people's cleverness.

Li Yuanqing handed him some silver tickets and said with a smile, "father-in-law, I still want to trouble you, father-in-law."

Although Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong were promoted, they still had to go through a process in the military department to make a backup. How could Li Yuanqing let go of Duke Lu?

Chen Zhong was already familiar with the process and said respectfully, "I'm going to trouble Duke Lu for everything."

Duke Lu was very satisfied with their attitude and said with a smile, "you two generals are welcome. I will take you to the military department."

……

With the guidance of Duke Lu, Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong soon completed the process in the military department and got the official seal letter. At the same time, the reward of the two men was also urgent for 800 Li, which spread all over the world!

There are still affairs in Duke Lu's palace, and he will leave soon.

Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong returned directly to the fog and rain Pavilion.

When he came to the backyard and put on a brand-new red military officer's robe, Li Yuanqing could not help but be elated. Last night's fatigue was swept away.

Chen Zhong also changed into an assistant general's robe, which was heroic.

When they met, they both laughed.

Chen Zhong excitedly said: "Yuanqing, after so much time, our brother is finally out of it!"

Li Yuanqing also laughed, "big brother, don't worry! This is just the beginning of our good day

At this time, Yang jiaoniang also got the news. She rushed to Chen Zhong with a smile and whispered a few words to Li Yuanqing in a low voice.

Li Yuanqing was stunned and couldn't help laughing: "I almost forgot this event. My big brother is here too. Let's go together

Chen Zhong was still a little unclear, so he said, "Yuanqing, what happened?"

Li Yuanqing said with a smile: "elder brother, you will know later."

Li Yuanqing has abundant resources here. Naturally, he can't treat Chen Zhong unfairly. He whispers a few words to Yang jiaoniang and asks her to select two honest and upright officials for Chen Zhong.

How can you get promoted and become rich without the help of beauties?

Soon, they changed their clothes and went directly to a hall in the front yard of the fog rain Pavilion.

By this time, the hall was already full.

Yang jiaoniang quickly explained: "Yuanqing, originally estimated to be 500 people. But today there are no less than 800 people. "

Li Yuanqing a smile, "a lot of people is a good thing."

He has noticed that there are 50 or 60 tortoise slaves guarding the gate, and on both sides, there are dozens of his own soldiers, led by Niu Gensheng. If an accident happens, he can quickly control the situation in the shortest time.

In the inner hall, Yang jiaoniang has already reserved a good position for Li Yuanqing. She is in the best elegant room on the second floor. She is facing the boudoir where Waner girl leaves the cabinet.

At this time, miss Wan'er was wearing a long green dress and a crown. She was curling behind the gauze on the opposite side. She looked like a fairy.Chen Zhong was also a little stunned, "Yuanqing, this is..."

Li Yuanqing a smile, "today is the day when miss Wan'er leaves the cabinet."

Chen Zhong has already vaguely understood that this fog rain Pavilion is likely to be the property of Li Yuanqing.

Isn't that Waner girl

Brother today, don't you dare to laugh at him

Li Yuanqing smiles, "big brother, don't worry. You rest here and I'll go next door. "

As soon as Li Yuanqing got up, two young girls came to serve Chen Zhong.

Chen Zhong also understood that he was about to open his mouth when Li Yuanqing left with a smile.

Next door is Yang jiaoniang's room. Li Yuanqing lies comfortably on the soft couch and looks at Wan'er girl opposite with a smile and says to Yang jiaoniang, "jiaoniang, let's go."

Yang jiaoniang smiles and rubs her temple for Li Yuanqing. She says to the maid, "let's inform yueniang to start."

"Yes

The maid left in a hurry.
