Chapter 724 Promotion (for poonlo, 26/30)
Zhuo Mufeng estimated that the court should have calculated their itinerary and specially selected it when passing Gusu City. He had no expectations for this and did not think it had something to do with him.
Who knew that the old eunuch who sent the orders called him in person and asked Zhuo Mufeng to come forward and obey the orders.
Brush brush.
One by one, the eyes fell on Zhuo Mufeng, with surprise, envy and even jealousy. On the way back, the delegation knew that the Eastern Zhou Dynasty and Northern Qi had reached an agreement. The two sides exchanged the three cities of Lanshui for the three cities of Nanwu, which caught Zhongzhou off guard.
Such a great achievement is enough to bring glory to the ancestors, but judging by this meaning, Your Majesty seems to have pointed out Zhuo Mufeng and want to give him a big reward!
Thinking of this, almost the young men present were so jealous that their eyes turned red. The women looked at Fengshen’s handsome and bright Zhuo Mufeng, with their bright future, and their eyes were rippling.
I guess if Master Zhuo hooks his fingers now, a woman will take the initiative to lean on him.
Wu Yuanyuan was both proud and proud. She raised her magnificent chest and looked at her beautiful eyes with her upward look. Under her outstanding appearance, all the girls couldn't help but bow their heads and felt ashamed.
Wu Yuanyuan walked forward, packed up her collar for Zhuo Mufeng, and smiled softly like a wife, "Why are you still standing stupid? Go quickly."
Zhuo Mufeng thought to himself, if it weren't for the purpose of cooperating with you, I would have gone up long ago, and I would have to wait until now?
In public, this guy didn't dare to give up the face of the eldest lady, and nodded obediently. Then, in the lady's satisfied sight, he walked to the eunuch who was sent to the order and bowed and called him father-in-law.
The eunuch was not impatient with the eunuch. No one could see that His Majesty admired this young man very much. He was stupid and would offend the other party at this time. He smiled and spread out the imperial edict and shouted sharply, "Everyone will accept the imperial edict!"
The Eighth Prince stood in the front row, behind him were several important officials of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty and Zhuo Mufeng, and behind him were other personnel in the mission. They were arranged according to their status and everyone saluted.
The eunuch who sent the order "Ying Tianshun, I received this clear order. I heard that the Eight Kings Yunchi led our Eastern Zhou ministers to the Northern Qi Dynasty. They worked hard and made great contributions. They talked about the ministers of the foreign court first, and tried their best to join forces to join the alliance and agree later. They made great contributions and comforted my heart..."
Next was a long passage of praise. Anyway, Zhuo Mufeng was extremely bored. After the eunuch passed the order, he finally talked about the issue of rewards, and the guy cheered up.
Not only him, but even the depressed Eighth Prince priests up his ears. As the leader of this mission, he was the leader of the mission, and the rewards were impossible, but he just didn't know how the emperor would express it.
The result was soon released. In addition to obtaining a large amount of wealth and silk, the most important thing about the Eighth Prince was to increase his fiefdom by 600 stones, which meant that the fiefdom had suddenly expanded. For the Eighth Prince, it meant a huge increase in power, which finally made him feel better.
After the Eighth Prince, he was rewarded by several other important officials, but his official position had not changed, but his title was upgraded, making these people look red and excited.
Next was Zhuo Mufeng.
"I heard that Zhuo Mufeng, the captain of the Juju City in Gusu City, has urged talks between the two sides to bridge the gap between the two sides. It is a great contribution. He was promoted to the Gusu City March Recording Officer and served as the fourth rank. I hope he will always remain loyal and continue to work hard..."
Zhuo Mufeng didn't hear the words behind him clearly because his ears were already buzzing, and there seemed to be a turbulence behind him. Even the Eighth Prince and several other important officials looked over in surprise.
It’s not that this reward is too light, but that it is too heavy.
Zhuo Mufeng was originally a lieutenant of Zhechong, and was a fifth-rank official. He commanded the city of Gusu City for about 60,000, which was extremely powerful. However, compared with the marching record, he was in heaven and earth.
Although the official position was only promoted one level, the marching record not only led the Zhechong lieutenant, but also had the power to mobilize the troops outside the city when the war occurred. The military power was only under a military governor and the governors of various states.
Gusu City is a major city in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, so the marching records here, in terms of status and authority, are far higher than those in other cities.
Before this, those who could hold this position were usually "old men" who had been in various places for many years and had prestigiousness in the army, or the confidants of various military governors.
So I heard that the Emperor of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty actually handed over this position to Zhuo Mufeng. Everyone present, including Wu Yuanyuan, was stunned and did not come back to their senses for a long time.
Wu Yuanyuan clearly remembered that the last marching record was a despicable guy, and even the lord of Gusu City was seriously ignored.
The reason why she knew was because she heard from her father Wu Guanting. Once, the city lord had a banquet, and the march was over half an hour late. As a result, everyone, including the city lord, dared not move their chopsticks. The city lord had to greet the other party with a smile.
At that time, Wu Guanting and other tycoons in the world kept sitting on the table beside themselves, and they were not even qualified to toast the marching ceremony...
Looking at Zhuo Mufeng's back, Miss Wu felt extremely unreal. In a blink of an eye, her fiancé was about to become a big shot that could only be looked up to by his father?
She thought it was very simple, but no one knew that the officials present, including Le Qian, had a brief moment of stunned silence, their expressions became strange.
It was all determined by the system of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty that a Jiedushi had the right to appoint and remove all officials within the jurisdiction. Now the Emperor of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty crossed the Weiyu Dao Jiedushi and directly appointed Zhuo Mufeng. Can Zhuo Mufeng sit in that position?
What is the purpose of the Emperor of Eastern Zhou’s move? Could it be that he wanted to praise and kill this young man?
A deep look of worry flashed in Le Qian's eyes. The corners of his mouth curled up, revealing a very playful expression.
Although Zhuo Mufeng is a newcomer to the officialdom, he has learned about related matters before, so he soon understood the interests. After being ecstatic, he couldn't help but curse in his heart.
Is that Emperor of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty a problem? I don’t need to do this if I want to play with it?
The guy had a silence, and he had no intention of listening to the contents behind the imperial edict, constantly thinking about the current situation. He was even considering whether to quit this bullshit march record to avoid offending Wei Yu Dao Jiedu.
With his current strength, he can make a living on other people's territory, and only if he has a long life, he will touch the other party's bottom line.
After reading the imperial edict, the Eighth Prince was in a good mood and took the lead in expressing his gratitude loudly. Everyone agreed, but Zhuo Mufeng lowered his head and his mouth never moved at all.
The eunuch passed the imperial edicts to several people to see them one by one to tell the truth and falsehood. Then he put them away. The Eighth Prince and others talked with him enthusiastically, but Zhuo Mufeng, who was deeply favored by the emperor, stood aside and seemed much colder in his attitude.
The Eighth Prince turned his head and deliberately smiled, "Why is Mufeng so quiet? Could it be that the emperor's grace is too heavy, which makes you feel panic?"
Several other important officials were also laughing. They were all civil officials from the imperial examinations and were not interested in the rulings like Zhuo Mufeng and looked down on them from the bottom of their hearts.
Zhuo Mufeng felt very upset and wanted to punch him, but he knew that he could only think about it for the moment.
He hesitated for a while, and planned to find a reason to quit his official position in a few days. He calmed down and said with a smirk, "What the prince said is, what can you do with a boy? You can't be so kind to your Majesty!"
The eunuch passed the imperial eunuch and pretended to be angry and said, "How can Zhuo Lushi belittle himself? At the banquet in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, you defeated the No. 1 young swordsman in Northern Qi. Not long ago, defeated the Holy Son of the Moke Sect at the hunting ceremony in Northern Qi.
Now who doesn’t know that you are the number one martial arts genius in the world and the most hopeful person to become a legendary master in the future! You are also both wise and brave. If you can’t even deserve the love of Your Majesty, who can still afford it?”
Everyone likes to listen to flattery words, especially from the eunuch who is flattering and despicable. Even though Zhuo Mufeng was in a bad mood, he was also fluttered by the other party.
As for the others, they can only describe them with different eyes. I won’t mention those who are envious, jealous and hateful. Even the Eighth Prince, when he recalls Zhuo Mufeng’s previous two battles, he has to admit that this annoying guy has some ability.
The world's number one martial arts genius is called "Scenery and Glory". Since the slaughter of Juecheng, this name has never been given in the world because there is no one to be worthy of it. Now it has fallen into Zhuo Mu's limelight.
Zhuo Mufeng and even the people of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty mission could not imagine that the five rivers and lakes of the five dynasties had already been rioted because of this name. The three words Zhuo Mufeng became completely famous all over the world and became a word-of-mouth.
The Eighth Prince suddenly frowned, looked at the eunuch who was flattered and realized something was wrong. This dead eunuch was wandering in the deep palace, so he shouldn't have understood Zhuo Mufeng's situation, so why was he so polite to him?
Could it be that there is something inside that he doesn't know?
Just as he was thinking this, a neat and regular loud noise came from afar. With the shock of the ground, dust swept through, and a team of cavalry wrapped in iron armor quickly appeared.
Although there were only a hundred cavalry, they were all powerful and surrounded by iron-blooded energy on the battlefield. They suddenly surged like dark clouds, which made many people in the mission frightened and couldn't help but retreat.
The Eighth Prince and others were even more shocked, as if they had guessed something, and their faces changed drastically.
The cavalry stopped not far away, the man in charge whistled, turned over, looked around, and then walked to Zhuo Mufeng and asked, "Your Excellency Zhuo Mufeng, is Mr. Zhuo?"
Zhuo Mufeng said in a daze, "Do you know me?"
The man smiled, "I looked around and found that this place is the most handsome and handsome, and you are wearing white clothes. Who is the legendary Young Master Zhuo?"
Wow, who is this guy? How can you tell the truth? Don’t you know how to offend someone? Zhuo Mufeng touched his nose and said shyly, “Brother, don’t talk nonsense, it’s a bad thing to kill Zhuo.”
The man laughed and only bowed to the eunuch who was sent to the orders and even the Eighth Prince in the six-clawed dragon suit. He turned his gaze back to Zhuo Mufeng, took out a tiger jade talisman from his arms, and handed it to Zhuo Mufeng, "Young Master Zhuo, no, Zhuo Lushi, this is what my master gave to you. With this talisman, you can mobilize all the troops in Gusu City."
Zhuo Mufeng was shocked, looked at the other party and asked dumbfoundedly, "Who is your master?"
The man replied proudly, "My adult's surname is Zhang, and his common people are full of famous masters, and his name is Master Feihu."
A slight breathing sound suddenly sounded at the scene, and the Eighth Prince's pupils shrank even more, and he was finally sure why the other party dared to ignore him so much.
There should be many people who call Zhang Jiaquan, but there is only one who claims to be Master Feihu, and that person is Wei Yu Dao Jiedu!
