Back to Datang with weapons

Chapter 513 Was it shot on the horse's leg? (Please subscribe!)
Unexpected, but within reason.

When the crown prince said this, not to mention the civil officials who surrounded the prince every day, even the Tang emperor himself was a little confused.

That's great, right?
Emperor Tang thought that the prince would not object at most, but he did not expect that he would agree so much. Could it be that he has already written off the original grievances with Zhang Twelve?
If this is the case, Emperor Tang can finally breathe a sigh of relief!
Nodding his head, expressing his satisfaction with the prince's remarks, the prince withdrew.

The prince lowered his head, with a calm expression on his face, and he couldn't tell what he was thinking at all.

The prince doesn't care what kind of general Zhang Twelve is to protect the country, because to him, it doesn't matter how high an official you are, but when I become emperor, it doesn't matter what I say.
He also doesn't care about the exodus in the south and the drop in food prices. He is just a little worried that all the things in the south are caused by him, and he won't be investigated in the end, right?

What was more serious than this was the matter of tax collection. This matter was his hidden danger, and he blamed himself for being too young. If this was found out and stabbed to Emperor Tang, it would be the end of his game!

Fortunately, after reading Zhang Twelve's letter just now, he didn't mention any tax issues, so he finally relaxed.

…………

Having said that, there were no objections in the court, and Emperor Tang was very satisfied.

"I still remember that when I succeeded to the throne, the General Protecting the Country was Zhang Guogong. After so many years, I am old, and Zhang Guogong is also old. I will grow old one day, and the General Protecting the Country became Zhang Guogong's. Descendants, isn’t this inheritance?”

Emperor Tang said quietly, after he died, his descendants became emperors, and the Great General Protecting the Country was a descendant of Zhang Guogong. Would he assist his descendants like Zhang Guogong assisted himself?

"Your Majesty lives as long as the sky!"

All civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty knelt down on the ground, all because Emperor Tang expressed his idea that he would ride a crane one day.

Emperor Tang himself didn't care. Seeing that among the officials there were still a few senior scholars who hesitated to speak, Tang Emperor couldn't help frowning: Even those censors have nothing to say now. Do you still want to oppose yourself?

So he asked, "Jia Zhengjing, do you still object?"

"Ah--this... this... I think it's better not to say it..."

Jia Zhengjing said in a bit of embarrassment.

If you don't let him speak, doesn't it mean that you are not democratic enough?
Emperor Tang's eyes froze: "Say something quickly!"

Even the censor was speechless, he wanted to see what kind of flowers could come out of just a few university scholars!

"Your Majesty, I feel that County Uncle Zhang should not be named the Great General to Protect the Nation!"

"........."

The whole audience was silent, they all looked at Jia Zhengjing in disbelief, thinking that although this guy is a bachelor, he usually flatters people, has good eyesight, and can be praised by Emperor Tang every time. What's the matter, knowing what Emperor Tang was thinking but still doing the opposite, your brain is broken?
"Why not?"

Emperor Tang's face was gloomy and extremely cold.

As if Jia Zhengjing didn't see it, he said to himself: "Presumably, many adults, like the officials, have heard that Zhang Xianbo wrote poems and lyrics in the imperial garden, and defeated the third prince of Wu. Is there something about "I'm not as good as him"?"

When Jia Zhengjing mentioned it, all the officials would naturally remember it, especially the bachelor who witnessed everything with his own eyes at the time. The original scene is still vivid in his memory, it can only be said to be amazing!

Seeing everyone's reaction, Jia Zhengjing laughed again: "And it's not just this time! Zhang Xianbo's "You are beautiful, like Qingyang" for the beautiful woman in the East Palace is also admirable, let alone the Yue Kingdom in the palace before. Which one of the "Jiang Xue" written by the three princesses is not a masterpiece? Besides Zhang Xianbo, who else can write such lines?"

"........."

Wait, is this - flattery?
But the point is, the protagonist Zhang Twelve is not here, so you can't take pictures!
Even Emperor Tang was confused, his originally cold face turned into a puzzled face, and he couldn't figure out what this Jia Zhengjing was doing, wasn't he saying that Zhang Twelve couldn't be the great general protecting the country?Why are you talking about these poems?

So he asked curiously: "Scholar Jia, aren't you talking about the Great General Protecting the Nation? What do you mean by that?"

Jia Zhengjing said with a smile: "Your Majesty, I just want to tell my colleagues that Zhang Xianbo's martial arts is high or low. The lower officials don't know, but the lower officials think that Zhang Xianbo's martial arts will never be so high as to surpass the Great Tang Dynasty. to the point where, let alone surpassing all other countries!"

Everyone agrees. After all, there are many masters in the Tang Dynasty. Tang Sanjue is famous in the rivers and lakes, and there are even more masters living in seclusion in the palace. Zhang 12 is young, how can he beat those old monsters?

Seeing everyone agreeing with him, Jia Zhengjing nodded in satisfaction and said, "But, Mr. Zhang Xian is so young, he can make the two of you say "I am not as good as him", and everyone has read the poems, saying that Mr. Zhang is so young. Bo Wencai is the best in the Tang Dynasty, and the best in all countries, I don't think you will object, right?"

This time, without waiting for the officials to respond, Jia Zhengjing brought up the next topic: "That's why the officials think that County Uncle Zhang should not be the Great General to Protect the Country, and that His Majesty should give County Uncle Zhang a corresponding civil position!"

Jia Zhengjing's arguments echoed his argument at a distance, saying that Zhang Twelve's outstanding literary talent is completely civil official material!Such a talent, you don't give him a civil official position, but let him be a general, isn't this nonsense?
After Tang Emperor heard this, his complexion finally returned to normal, and he even brought a little joy!
This Jia Zhengjing turned out to be flattering!

It's just that this flattery is so comfortable to shoot!
And the officials below finally understood that Jia Zhengjing was not stupid, seeing that Emperor Tang valued Zhang Twelve so much, how could he disobey Emperor Tang's ideas?

But he did the opposite, and finally slapped back the flattery, which aroused the favor of Emperor Tang. It can only be said that this guy is really shameless!

In order to flatter me, I will do anything!Bitch!
…………

Jia Zhengjing knew that he had made the right shot again this time, and his face beamed with joy.

Which one is better at flattering kung fu, Jia Zhengjing, a scholar of the Tang Dynasty!

What Emperor Tang said to Jia Zhengjing was also very useful, but he would not let Zhang Twelve become a civil servant, so based on Zhang Twelve's character and his reputation in the civil servant camp - if he was allowed to be a civil servant, then the civil servant Wasn't the faction messed up by him?

Think about it or forget it, he still wants Datang to be stable for a few years...

After thinking about it for a while, Emperor Tang said, "Scholar Jia, then what do you think, if I confer Zhang Xianbo a civil official position, what should I confer on him?"

Emperor Tang looked at Jia Zhengjing with great interest and said.

"........."

This... I'm just flattering, trying to be flattering, cheap, and cute, why does Your Majesty take it seriously?

Jia Zhengjing was silent for a moment, thinking that Emperor Tang would just laugh it off, but Emperor Tang looked at him and smiled, as if he couldn't make it through the day if he didn't answer, he was a little helpless, and said bravely: "Well... the next official is natural I don’t know! Of course His Majesty has the final say on matters like canonization!”

Jia Zhengjing said with a smile on his face.

But Emperor Tang didn't intend to let him go, food can be eaten indiscriminately, but words can't be said indiscriminately!As a bachelor, he does flattering things every day. I didn't bother to talk about him, but I didn't expect him to get worse. I must teach him a lesson today!
His face turned cold and he said, "I'm asking you something, why don't you say it quickly?"

"Ah... Your Majesty... this... this..."

"Let me remind you, the General Protector I gave Zhang Twelve was a first-rank military post. If I gave him a civilian post, he would naturally be on the same level! Alright, let's talk!"

"Your Majesty... this, this, this..."

Jia Zhengjing was about to cry, and really wanted to say "I can't do it"!

Seeing his performance, Emperor Tang was quite dissatisfied: "Isn't the hint I gave obvious?"

"thump!"

Jia Zhengjing immediately knelt down.

It was because Emperor Tang's hint was too obvious that Jia Zhengjing didn't dare to say it.

The National Protector General is a first-rank military position, and the corresponding first-rank civil official positions are prime ministers, grand masters, and grand masters.

Since ancient times in the Tang Dynasty, there has always been only one person for these three official positions. Unless someone dies or is demoted, a new person can replace him. Now, Yang Feng is the prime minister, Bai Jianfu is the grand master, and Grand Master Mu came out just now. I've said before that the three of them are all in their prime, could it be possible to let Zhang Twelve replace one of them?
Zhang Twelve is willing, but neither are the three of them!
Jia Zhengjing only wanted to flatter, but he didn't think about it before. If he thought about it, he wouldn't dare to shoot him to death!
Flattery is good, but you can't offend people!

What's more, he offended three first-rank civil servants at the same time, and he happened to be a civil servant himself, so he didn't dare to continue talking if he was killed...

Seeing Jia Zhengjing kneeling down, Emperor Tang didn't continue to press the question, but said with a smile: "I thought you were going to let one of Prime Minister Yang, Bai Taifu and Mu Taishi abdicate to the virtuous, ha ha..."

"The lower officials dare not, the lower officials dare not!"

Hearing that Emperor Tang broke the matter, Jia Zhengjing was frightened to death, kowtowed to admit his mistake, Emperor Tang waved his hand, motioning him to back down, Jia Zhengjing staggered to his feet, exuding defeat all over his body. Gas, very poor.

The person who despised him just now is even more disdainful of him now, sneering in his heart, is it right to shoot a horse's leg?
Live it!

…………

The occurrence of this episode can be regarded as confirming Zhang Twelve's role as a general protecting the country.

Emperor Tang called out Du Mingyang again, officially announcing Zhang Twelve's appointment as the Great General to Protect the Nation. After thinking for a while, he added: "Also, give Zhang Twelve the Duke of County! Isn't he still in Jinling now? ? In addition, inform Wang Chengen, the prefect of Jinling, to select ten acres of fertile land and give it to Zhang Twelve!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Du Mingyang bowed and agreed.

Emperor Tang thought for a while, and felt that something was wrong, turned his head and said to Wu De beside him: "Look at the meaning of the letter, Zhang Twelve still plans to stay in Jinling for a while, saying that he has important things to do, and he will send it to you at that time." A big gift from me! But I won’t tell him until he comes back, otherwise this kid will be able to treat him badly for me again!”

Speaking of this, he thought of Zhang Twelve's aggrieved face asking for rewards a few times ago, and he couldn't help laughing and said: "So Wu De, you should go to Jinling yourself and tell him the good news!"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Wu De agreed softly, but a light flashed in his eyes.

Emperor Tang gave Zhang Twelve the title of County Duke again, and this time none of the officials raised any objections.

The reason is that apart from the fact that Emperor Tang got angry just now, no one dared to face difficulties at this time. The most important thing is that the county magistrate is only a second-rank title, and Zhang Twelve even has a first-rank official position. A title from the second rank is nothing...

It's just that some people were overwhelmed. Zhang Twelve didn't know what method he used to make his holy family thick. According to what Emperor Tang said just now, Emperor Tang was too partial to him, and even a fool could see it. Unexpectedly, he should become the only man in Datang who combines the highest official position and title, and he is also the youngest man...

There are already many people who are thinking about it in their hearts. Will they go to the Duke of Wei's mansion for a stroll in the future, trying to get acquainted with each other?
…………

At the end of the early dynasty, all civil and military officials returned to their respective homes.

Since the murder of King Xiang, the prince no longer has the same style as before, and the ministers no longer run to the East Palace whenever they have something to do.

The prince returned to the East Palace, went to the only study room in the backyard of the East Palace, and drove away all the servants in the backyard.

After entering the study room, he walked slowly to the chair in front of the desk, and sat on it safely. He didn't flip anything or look at anything, but closed his eyes, as if closing his eyes to rest his mind.

He seemed to be waiting, waiting for someone.

After an unknown amount of time, suddenly a gust of wind blew from the outside and the door opened. Before the wind could fill the whole room, the wind stopped and the door was closed.

It's just that under the originally bright sunlight, there is a dark shadow.

"What do you think I should do next?"

The prince didn't even open his eyes, and asked.

"The plan should have been advanced."

The man said expressionlessly.

"in advance?"

The corner of the prince's mouth twitched, and he asked again: "Is this really going to happen? Is it because we are too concerned that the matter is not as serious as we thought?"

"Ha ha."

The man sneered: "You fought against Zhang Twelve, don't you know what kind of character he is? Even if the price of food falls, he can do it, but he can't find out about those messy things inside? You didn't listen What did he say, he said that there are important things to do, and then give him a surprise! What else do you think is important?"

After hearing this, the prince frowned, which was exactly what he was worried about.

When he heard this in the court hall, his whole body tensed up, this feeling was too bad.

Seeing that the prince was still hesitant, the man said coldly: "I have told you many times that those who do great things must not be benevolent to women! If he has already found out that matter, he will write a letter to bring it up later. , do you think you can go to jail in your position?"

Having said that, he raised his voice a little, and said word by word: "King of cruelty, do you want to do it or not?"

"Do!"

The prince opened his eyes, his eyes were ferocious...
