"Wait, after arriving in Cannes, you should have been able to use official channels to send the Red Flame Dragon Cavalry back, right? Why didn't you do that?" said the censor.
"Because I'm afraid it will be delivered to someone like you." Shen Lang glanced at him.
"What do you mean?" The censor frowned slightly: "You'd better have a basis for what you say."
"Oh my, now you know how to give evidence?" Shen Lang sneered, turned around and looked directly at the censor: "I've been at the front line, fighting for my life, and you're talking nonsense behind my back."
"I don't know if you have ears or brains. I've said it before, the Second Young Master asked me to hand this over to His Majesty in person!"
“I didn’t understand it at first, but now I do.”
"It is because of people like you that the Master asked me to escort him personally."
"What would happen if I sent it back directly through the channel and through someone else's hands?"
"Just now, the Lord asked me why I was sent to Chang'an only today."
"Then if I go through official channels and this battle formation happens to pass through your hands, will you wonder why you didn't send it in previous years but only today?"
"After much questioning, the adults decided that there was something wrong with this thing and threw it into the wastebasket."
"The Second Young Master's passion and his patriotic heart will be destroyed by a villain like you!"
"You are slandering me!" The censor pointed at Shen Lang and shouted, "What makes you think I would act this way?"
"Your Excellency was the first one to jump out and question why I didn't send it to Chang'an as soon as possible. Your Excellency reasonably inferred that I took it out at this time for wealth and fame, so I can also reasonably infer that Your Excellency felt that it was something unreasonable, so he would not send it up, but deal with it himself. When the truth is revealed, I can still use the excuse that I dare not submit things of unknown origin to get away with it." Shen Lang looked calm, giving people a sense of confidence.
On the other hand, the censor was choked by Shen Lang.
"You are sophistry, I..."
"Oh, my inference is sophistry, but your inference is reasonable. It seems that only you are allowed to make inferences in this world, and no one else is allowed to make inferences? May I ask, in your mind, who owns this world?" Shen Lang suddenly stepped forward and stared at the censor.
The censor was confused.
"Your Majesty, I, I didn't mean that..." He quickly turned towards the emperor, lowered his body, and broke out in a cold sweat.
He had previously somewhat admired the senior official, but now he mentally crossed out this censor.
You're looking for trouble, no problem.
It’s okay to cause trouble in front of Bai Zizai.
But, at least you have to be able to win the argument, right?
It's really embarrassing for a censor to be controlled by a military officer.
"Step back!" The emperor looked at the censor with disdain.
These censors do not need to make any special efforts. Like the chief secretaries and deputy chief officers, they are all advisers with no real power. They usually only give advice and make plans during court sessions.
Those who cannot practice cultivation but have passed the imperial examinations and have achieved good academic results can either serve as retainers and assistants to high-ranking practitioners or as censors.
Letting these ordinary people in can also shut up many people, so that those scholars won't say that there are only monks in the court and they won't consider ordinary people and so on.
"Sir Shen." Another censor stepped out and said slowly, "Since you went to Kangcheng, you should have met the Sixth Prince. May I ask Sir Shen, why didn't you present this to the Sixth Prince?"
"When I reported this matter to His Highness the Sixth Prince, we were discussing strategies to repel the enemy. I am a military general and was only responsible for speaking without asking any further questions. As for whether His Highness will report it to the court, this is not my concern. I believe His Highness knows what is going on." Shen Lang did not even call himself a humble official.
"Old Six did say so in the letter, and he also said that in order to preserve your loyalty, you will personally escort him to Chang'an in the future." The emperor smiled slightly, "I summoned you here for this very reason."
Unexpectedly, before the guanzi was sold, the little guy presented the product first, which led to such a farce.
Chapter 244 Promotion and Fortune
For a moment, the faces of the two censors who had just come out suddenly turned ugly.
Have you said that a long time ago?
From this perspective, the two people's behavior just now seemed like that of clowns.
No, the second one is better. The first one really turned into a clown.
Many of the civil and military officials in the court were secretly looking at the first person who stepped out of the line, thinking: Hey, His Majesty is probably just watching the fun to see what kind of people these people are.
Few people in the court knew about the recent disappearance of the Sixth Prince in Xuanmo Pass.
But after the Sixth Prince went out to deal with the grassland people, many people in the court often made sarcastic remarks, which made the emperor somewhat unhappy.
"I would like to thank Your Highness for defending Xuanmo Pass. If it weren't for Your Highness, I don't know when Shen Lang would be able to attack and meet the Emperor..." Shen Lang was moved.
Did you know this a long time ago?
Grass!
When I told Ji Wendi about the training method of the Red Flame Dragon Riders, he didn't seem to take it seriously.
As a result, you, the emperor, also know that you are not in a hurry to ask me for it...
Zhao Huaibei is really pitiful. The battle formation that he values so much is so worthless in your eyes.
"What about the third sin?" The emperor was a little curious. He wanted to know what else this man could say.
As for the Red Flame Dragon Riders formation...
At that time, Ji Wendi only mentioned it briefly in the letter, and the emperor's blood pressure was high.
He was wondering at that time, does this Old Six have the vision of an emperor?
The Scarlet Flame Dragon Cavalry battle formation is the result of the hard work of successive Northern Zhen Kings!
If we bring this battle formation to Chang'an and learn from it, can we make the Shenwu Army 10% stronger?
Before the emperor could send another letter to inquire further, the Sixth Prince disappeared at Xuanmo Pass.
To put it bluntly, after Ji Wendi encountered sandstorms when he left the pass, he only communicated with the emperor once, and that was when the sandstorms had just stopped and Ji Wendi was moving camp.
Now that Ji Wendi's life or death is uncertain, the emperor can't blame him. He just hopes he can return safely.
After all, in the emperor's eyes, this world does not belong to him at all.
Everything he did was motivated by a sense of responsibility.
The forces behind the ministers below are all extremely powerful.
Although the royal family is the most powerful, the royal family's say will always be in the hands of successive generals of the cavalry and the Wang family.
Simply put, whichever lineage reaches the realm of heaven and man will be able to stand up.
This emperor is more like a spokesperson pushed to the front.
Compared with the normal imperial power in ancient China, it is far worse.
Ok……
In fact, it doesn't make much difference? Most emperors still have to pay attention to the advice of those noble families. Even Li Erfeng can't do whatever he wants.
"The third crime is that Shen Lang went to Muyun City without knowing his own limitations to stir up conflicts among the grassland people, and was injured by a powerful being in the Divine Mysterious Realm. In the end, if it weren't for His Highness asking Shen Lang to go to Wanhua Valley for treatment, Shen Lang would have died." Shen Lang let out a long sigh: "Your Highness has been kind to me and saved my life."
"For each of these three crimes, I almost died. I failed the Second Young Master's trust and almost caused the Red Flame Dragon Cavalry Formation Diagram to be lost."
"Hmm..." Although the emperor coveted the Red Flame Dragon Cavalry formation, now that the thing was in his hands, he was not so anxious anymore.
As an emperor, even if he was just pushed to the front as a speaker, he still had his own composure.
"Third crime, I am not only sorry to the Second Young Master, but also to the court..." Shen Lang bowed and said, "Your Majesty, please punish me!"
"I have said that you violated the military regulations of the King of Zhenbei. Taizu has taught that the northern border is self-governing. I will not punish you." The emperor looked at Shen Lang silently: "However, Shen Qing's three so-called most unforgivable crimes, the first crime is that his heart is in the Great Zhou, and he could not stand the enemy's rampage and captured him alive."
"The second crime is that as a captain of the Great Zhou, I could not bear to see the people suffer, so I helped Kangcheng and repelled the enemy."
"The third crime is that as a captain of the Great Zhou, loyal and brave in serving the country, he destroyed the enemy's base behind enemy lines."
"These three crimes are all committed by a minister who sincerely wants to serve his country. It is a blessing for the Great Zhou to have a minister like you."
"Shen Lang stepped forward and listened to the seal!"
"Shen Lang is here!" Shen Lang stepped forward.
"Now, Shen Lang is appointed as the Guoyi Commander of Beiping Prefecture and the Zhaowu Commander."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!"
Shen Lang didn't expect that he would be promoted before he even did anything.
The Zhongfu Guoyi Duwei was a rank of sixth grade, one grade higher than his previous position.
Moreover, not only the actual power, but also the rank of military officials was raised to a higher level.
Although his civil servant rank is still the seventh rank, Shen Lang has not made much political achievements, which is normal...
"Shen Lang brought out 10,000 aborigines from the Mysterious Land of Ten Thousand Flowers. When he was in the northern border, he went deep behind enemy lines and destroyed the unity of the grassland people. Shen Lang was named the Chief of Youzhou."
Shen Lang widened his eyes.
and many more.
Chief Secretary of Youzhou?
This guy has gone straight to the fifth rank!
No, what did I do? Why was I given such a high-ranking civil servant title? Although positions like Changshi Beijia do not require cultivation to determine, this promotion is too fast!
Just by coming to Beijing and bragging, I am promoted to the fifth rank?
No wonder it is said that it is easy for secretaries of big shots to get promoted...
"Shen Lang, why don't you thank me?" an official reminded.
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty..."
"Your Majesty!" A censor stood up and was about to speak when he heard the emperor speak.
"I have made up my mind. No need to discuss. Withdraw!"
"Yes……"
Upon hearing this, the censor had no choice but to leave.
"Shen Lang, you should step down first."
"Yes!"
…………
When Shen Lang came out of the palace, he still felt a sense of unreality.
How can one be promoted so quickly? This is not scientific or spiritual at all!
In terms of merit, he did have some, but according to the current promotion system, it has only been a short time. In reality, he has been in the officialdom for less than three months and he has been promoted from a commoner to the fifth rank.
"Why are you so dispirited?" Wu Feng couldn't help but ask when he saw this.
Shen Lang told what happened in the court.
"Promotion? This is not a good thing." Wu Feng said with a smile.
"No, there is no love or hate without reason in the world. I was promoted too quickly and I feel unsure." Shen Lang muttered.
"Emperors of all dynasties were very cunning people." Wu Feng whispered, "He must have his own reasons for doing this."
"Mu'er went to the northern border before and was detained there. I also did some research there."
"In my opinion, so-called politics is the same as the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance."
"To put it bluntly, isn't this just a big faction trying to win over a small faction?"
"Your Majesty has given you such an official position. I'm afraid you will be sent as an envoy to the northern border in the future."
"Embassy?" Shen Lang looked strange: "Uncle Wu means that Your Majesty wants to negotiate peace with the grassland?"
“No…” Wu Feng shook his head: “It is to join forces with the remaining people in Zhenbei Palace. Don’t forget, they still have 50,000 troops and five Shenxuan realms.”
"You can deliver the Red Flame Dragon Cavalry formation to the Second Young Master, so you must be someone that the Second Young Master trusts very much."
"Treating you favorably is sending a friendly signal to the current Zhenbei Palace."
Shen Lang now understood.
