Chapter 329 Ranking First
Chai Shao didn't notice it. The officials on the city wall looked at him with sharp eyes, and his head was full of anger.
"Don't think that you can pass the test smoothly if you get the first place. With me, you can't succeed."
Li De seemed to be very confident in his tone. He should have some support. It seems that the subsequent assessment will not be easy. If he is scared by harsh words, he will not be able to do so.
When Chai Shao saw the officials of the Ministry of War come over, he was still unsatisfied and immediately asked: "Do you want to start the next assessment? This general is ready."
The official from the Ministry of War expressed helpless expression and replied: "The Minister of War has submitted the assessment results to His Majesty. It should have arrived now. Thank you for your hard work today, General Chai can go back."
Then he said respectfully to Li De: "Congratulations to Mr. Li, you have won the top scorer in the assessment and ranked first. You will conduct personal guard drills in ten days. Please go back and prepare."
"Thank you, goodbye!"
Li De smiled, turned around and left.
I heard Chai Shao scolding the officials of the Ministry of War in the distance, as if he was asking why this happened and why the next assessment was not conducted.
The officials of the Ministry of War were distressed, perhaps because they were angry, or they could explain.
He was not walking fast and heard that the fact was that he had completed ten laps by himself, and the rest fell to the ground in the school field and could not afford to participate in the next competition. He could not let a contestant take the test by himself, and he did not need any results.
Chai Shao was considered to be in a cocoon and not only had to bear the main responsibility for the exam, but also had to face the bad eyes and ridicule of the military officers.
In the palace, after the Minister of War left, Emperor Yang of Sui threw the memorial directly out. He was very angry. It was not the Minister of War, but Chai Shao.
At that time, Chai Shao said that he wanted to make Li De feel uncomfortable, which was very consistent with his wishes, so he agreed.
As a result, the overall situation was ignored and the Ministry of War was undermined. Now the generals jointly talked about this matter, not only did they need to replace the examiner Chai Shao, but also cancel the competition results.
It really became a farce.
What's even more annoying is that Li De actually succeeded in completing the impossible task first.
As an emperor, there is nothing to say. If he wants to let him reject Li De's first place, what is the emperor's majesty and credibility? If he agrees, the Ministry of War will become a decoration, how can he perform his duties in the future?
If you don’t agree, you need to appease the generals’ mood, which is really a headache.
"General Chai is outside the hall, so I want to see Your Majesty."
Emperor Yang of Sui happened to have no place to get angry, so the troublemaker came to the door and asked his father-in-law to announce his arrival.
Chai Shao seemed to have a huge injustice and took advantage of the great truth. He came in and said, "Your Majesty, the officials of the Ministry of War are committing favoritism and fraud. I must have an explanation."
Emperor Yang of Sui was as calm as usual. Even though he was thinking about getting angry, he still held back and narrowed his eyes.
"Who is so bold? Let's talk about it."
Emperor Yang of Sui was looking for opportunities, but Chai Shao seemed to have no idea at all and said what happened in the schoolyard.
"Is it wrong to be responsible for my duties? Is it wrong to hope that the court can get a strong team? Is it wrong to be more strict in my performance?"
It makes sense to say it.
As an emperor, you cannot be responsible for him alone. Which of the civil and military officials in the court is a good deal?
"You are right, is it that I am wrong?"
Emperor Yang of Sui was not loud, but it made Chai Shao’s whole body feel bad. His back was wet with sweat and it was chilly. Only then did he realize that he had just run to the emperor for a moment of heat and came to ask for an explanation. He was really confused.
"Your Majesty is right, it's my fault."
Chai Shao knelt on the ground.
After a long time, when he saw that it was almost done, Emperor Yang of Sui called him up.
"Do you know that you have already made public anger? If Gu Nian hadn't been your contribution in the past, could you still stand here? Li De's affairs must be cut off, and you will explain the assessment."
"Li De must be the first."
Chai Shao was unwilling to accept that he would let Li De be the first. Wouldn’t it be a slap in the face?
"Your Majesty, if Li De gets the lead, he may have ulterior motives." Chai Shao said.
Emperor Yang of Sui became interested when he heard this and said, "Let me tell me."
When Chai Shao saw that there was a chance, he must have a good talk.
"I think that Li De had rejected His Majesty's kindness and resigned from his official position. Now he has taken the initiative to participate in the bandit suppression. I'm afraid it's because of the military power, so I have to guard against it."
Emperor Yang of Sui thought there was something new, but he didn't expect it to be this reason, so he was a little disappointed with Chai Shao.
"Look at those generals, who are not for military power, they know that vanguards cannot become a big climate, but they can earn fame, train talents, and accumulate merits. You, step down."
Chai Shao left with doubts, but after all, he was blinded by hatred. It was normal that he couldn't figure it out for a while.
Then Chai Shao came forward to explain the effectiveness of the exam. Li De ranked first and could not be changed, but the assessment of the children of the generals was passed collectively, and there was no distinction between rankings.
It immediately made everyone feel much happier.
The personal soldiers competition seven days later will be subject to the Ministry of War and conduct a battle drill.
Li De was a little tired. As soon as he returned to the mansion, he saw a baton guy coming to celebrate for him.
"A good person, I am worthy of being my son. This time I have brought honor to the Li family." Ang Lee smiled.
"I heard that Chai Shao is making things difficult for you?" Zheng's mother asked.
"No, mother doesn't have to worry." Li Dedao.
"It's really not. Didn't you say it all? It's hard for everyone. Now the Chai family is probably in a state of turmoil." Ang Lee explained.
"I'm worried that Chai Shao will interfere in the future." Zheng's mother said worriedly.
Everyone in the family knew about their mother's concerns. As long as Chai Shao was responsible for this matter, it would be impossible to avoid it. Let's take a step forward for the current plan.
"I'm here today, hurry up and rest."
Ang Lee suddenly spoke, and Zheng’s mother was naturally not saying anything. She was not concerned about her daughter-in-law, so she wanted to leave some space for them.
Seven days later, the schoolyard in the north of the city gathered again. This time there were more people than last time, there were more guards around than before, and the layout of the viewing platform on the city wall was more particular.
"Have you heard that the Emperor is here, and it's time to show his abilities."
"What are you excited about? What else do you want as a personal soldier? The emperor's reward will only help the head of the family, do you understand it?"
"So what, what if you are appreciated by His Majesty."
"Oh, I really don't know if your master has a personal soldier like you."
Li De listened to their chatting and said a lot, and found that there were many personal soldiers and talents in the family of the generals. Such intelligence investigation must be detailed.
The principle of profit is useful everywhere.
The drums were beating, the colorful flags were flying, and the imperial carriage was coming. The pedals were extremely wide, as big as dozens of carriages, and there were horses in front, back, left and right, and more were people.
