"Ah, ah..."
Screams came one after another, and then countless rubbles flew into the air, completely covering the entrance of Beishan Village in a cloud of dust. Tianlai Xiao's story
It was an accident…
The Imperial Guards never thought that there would be so many traps at the entrance of Beishan Village, and the villagers of Beishan Village also did not expect that the Imperial Guards would come to Beishan Village.
The galloping war horse fell into the trap, and the guardsmen fell into the trap before they could dismount.
The sounds of horses neighing and screams mixed together, adding an extremely strange color to the early morning sunshine at the entrance of Beishan Village.
Of course, it was impossible for the imperial guard to be trapped to death in a trap. After falling down, he naturally climbed up from the trap. And then, he saw a coarse cloth gown in front of him, holding a dustpan in one hand and a dustpan in the other. Fang Zhengzheng was holding half a bun.
At this moment, his expression was obviously stunned.
"Fang... Lord Fang?!" Wei Yulinjun never thought that he would see such a scene when he saw Fang Zhengzheng.
Because, Fang Zhengzheng's story has spread throughout the entire Daxia Dynasty.
Only half a year to live...
At this time, isn't it the time when every inch of time is worth every inch of gold? Isn't it time to devote yourself to cultivation and strive to hit the holy realm
Why is Fang Zhengzheng standing at the entrance of the village, holding a dustpan in his hand
Fang Zhengzheng finally swallowed half of the bun in his mouth. Then he carefully placed the dustpan in his hand on the ground and patted himself to remove the dust.
Of course he recognized the costumes of the imperial guards in front of him, but he didn't pay too much attention to it. He just raised his head slightly and looked at the early morning sun, and murmured softly: "It's another sunny and good weather. "
…
The movement at the entrance of the village naturally attracted the villagers of Beishan Village.
When nearly a hundred imperial guards crawled out of the trap in disgrace, countless villagers from Beishan Village also surrounded the entrance of the village.
"Are these the Royal Guards?"
"I heard that the Royal Guards are the personal guards around the emperor, guarding the palace. What are they doing here?"
"The village chief said he might be here to arrest Zheng Zheng!"
"Capture Zheng Zheng? Why? Now he is a third-grade official. Why do they want to capture Zheng Zheng? Moreover, Zheng Zheng has made great achievements in the Southern Territory!"
"I heard that they mobilized troops privately because of their integrity..."
"How can this be done? Zhengzheng finally returned to Beishan Village. We can't let them take Zhengzheng away. We must keep Zhengzheng even if we risk our lives!"
Countless villagers looked at the Imperial Guards standing in front of them and talked in low voices. Everyone's face was extremely vigilant.
Zhang Yangping and several villagers at the entrance of the village also arrived at the entrance of the village. Looking at the disgraced imperial guards in front of them, they became more and more worried.
In their hearts, the Royal Forest Army came to arrest people. If they could treat them well, they would take more care of them on the road, but now...
Tricked the Royal Forest Army? !
What should I do
What if these imperial guards retaliate against Fang Zhengzheng on the road
"Master Yulinjun, we really didn't know that the adults would... come, so this trap..." Zhang Yangping looked at the ground, hesitant to speak.
"There is no need to apologize, village chief. I stepped into the trap because of my own recklessness, and it has nothing to do with Beishan Village!" The imperial guard looked somewhat uncomfortable when he heard Zhang Yangping's apology. He left immediately without waiting for Zhang Yangping to say anything more. Arriving in front of Fang Zhengzheng: "Master Fang, the emperor has a decree!"
"The Emperor has a decree?"
"Master Yulinjun, does the emperor want to blame Zheng Zheng for leading the troops privately?"
"This incident was caused by our Beishan Village itself and has nothing to do with integrity. If you want to blame, please blame our Beishan Village!"
Zhang Yangping and several village chiefs immediately changed their expressions when they heard what the imperial guards said.
Fang Zhengzheng came out at this time and helped Zhang Yangping up, who was about to kneel down again. Then, he also looked at the imperial guard: "Read it!"
"Read it?!"
Countless villagers in Beishan Village looked at me one by one, and I looked at you. In their minds, wasn’t this the moment when they knelt down to receive the order
Read it...
What's the meaning
Just when the villagers were about to blame Fang Zhengzheng for not knowing etiquette, the imperial guard directly took out a roll of golden brocade silk from his arms, and judging from his expression, he didn't seem to be surprised at all.
"Fang Zhengzheng, the minister of the Ministry of Rites, has established meritorious service in guarding the safety of Yanjing City and safeguarded the dignity of the royal family. He is specially awarded the title: Anbei Dulang General, leading ten thousand households, and the imperial title of Jianshi, and the second-grade title of Zheng!"
"General Anbei Dulang?!"
"Lead ten thousand households!"
"And add the title of Imperial Palace to the History of Construction?!"
Shocked, after Wei Linjun's words came out, countless Beishan villagers stared wide-eyed. They didn't understand what these official positions were for.
However, they heard the last sentence.
Receive the second rank title!
The second grade!
That is an existence on the same level as a sixth-grade minister!
Instead of blaming Fang Zhengzheng for deploying troops privately, he was instead given the title of Second Grade Zheng? Such a change made the villagers of Beishan Village unable to react at all.
However, after being stunned for a moment, a sound of kneeling was still heard.
"Zhang Yangping, the head of Beishan Village, would like to express his gratitude to the Holy Father on behalf of Fang Zhengzheng!"
"Thank you for the grace!"
"Thank you for the grace!"
“…”
Countless voices of kneeling and worshiping rang out at this time. Every villager in Beishan Village was filled with tears and bowed towards the east with gratitude on their faces.
"Second grade?" Fang Zhengzheng looked at the villagers who were kneeling on the ground and thought about stopping them, but he also understood that Zhang Yangping and the villagers would not listen to him.
If he really wants them to stand and receive orders like him, they probably won't be able to adapt to it. If they don't, they will be scolded by Zhang Yangping.
Somewhat helpless.
However, it is human nature.
At this moment, the sound of horse hooves was heard again in the distance, and then, nearly a hundred imperial guardsmen slowly appeared in everyone's sight.
"Why are the Imperial Guards coming?"
"Could it be that the emperor has changed his mind?"
"No way? Don't they all say that you have no jokes? How can you not keep your words!"
"Could it be that the reward should be given first and then blamed? I heard that the emperor's treatment is all about merit and mistakes. If you have done your merits upright, you will be rewarded, but leading the troops privately is also a crime, right?"
The villagers looked at the nearly a hundred Imperial Guardsmen who were getting closer and closer in the distance, and their originally joyful expressions became solemn again.
Soon, nearly a hundred imperial guardsmen came in front of Fang Zhengzheng and the villagers again.
"Master Fang, the emperor has a decree!" The imperial guard who came over again looked at the imperial guard standing in front covered in dust, with somewhat puzzled eyes.
However, he did not ask any more questions, but quickly came to Fang Zhengzheng, and at the same time, he took out a roll of golden brocade silk from his arms.
"Read it." Fang Zhengzheng spoke again.
But this time, the villagers were not too surprised. However, they were all extremely nervous when they looked at the golden brocade silk in the hands of the imperial guard.
"General Anbei is an upright and upright official who established history in the Imperial Palace. He quelled the chaos in the Northern Desert and defended thousands of lives in the Northern Desert. He has made outstanding contributions. He is specially granted the title: Admiral Anbei, leading ten thousand households. He is also granted the title of Imperial Young Protector, starting from the first rank!"
"From the first grade?!"
"And also add the title of Yuqian Shaobao?!"
"Admiral Anbei!"
If the contents of the previous imperial edict surprised and shocked the villagers of Beishan Village, then the contents of this imperial edict definitely made them a little "confused."
From Yipin!
There is nothing more terrifying than being promoted to a first-grade official position!
Throughout the ages, if one person in a family has achieved a high rank in the court, they can be prosperous for generations. But in Beishan Village, who in such a remote village has such extravagant hopes
But today...
This honor was bestowed upon Fang Zhengyi.
Fang Zhengzheng, a poor villager in Beishan Village, unexpectedly became a first-rank official in the Great Xia Dynasty. Even if he was only a first-rank official, this treatment would definitely drive them crazy.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace!"
"Integrity, integrity... Come quickly, come here and kneel down to thank the Holy Grace!"
"Yes, Zhengzheng, stop standing there, hurry up, this is a great gift, your ancestors have manifested themselves, and the emperor has named you Admiral Anbei!"
"Our Beishan Village is really blessed by God. We didn't even have an official before, but today we have a first-class official!"
The villagers were excited and crazy, with tears in their eyes and their bodies trembling involuntarily. Although this honor was given by Fang Zhengzheng, to them, it was no different from their own.
Fang Zhengzheng looked at the villagers in front of him who were almost crazy with excitement. He spread his hands helplessly and knelt down? How long do you have to kneel down
"There's more!" Fang Zheng pointed to the distance.
"Any more?" Zhang Yangping and the villagers were stunned, looking subconsciously into the distance. Then, they saw a group of Imperial Guards in golden armor appearing in their sights again.
…
"The Emperor has a decree... Because of Fang Zhengzheng's outstanding achievements, Fang Zhengzheng is specially granted the title of Great General of Anbei, with the command of 100,000 households. He is also granted the title of Imperial Advisor, Imperial Protector, and the title of Zhengzheng!"
"National Division?!"
"National Preceptor, this is the National Preceptor!"
"Professional title!"
"We have a general in Beishan Village, and he is General Anbei!"
Zhang Yangping's face turned red. He had never been as excited as he was today. He was a first-rank official, National Preceptor, and General Anbei.
This is almost the highest honor!
There is no other honor that can compare with this kind of conferment.
How old is Fang Zhengzheng
He is not yet eighteen years old, but he has already been appointed as the National Preceptor of the Great Xia Dynasty, with the title of First Grade. How can they dare to believe this
Kneel down and bow down.
Zhang Yangping led a group of villagers who were so excited that they were completely speechless. Everyone had only a smile on their face, a smile as bright as the sun.
But soon...
Their smiles stiffened.
Because, in the distance, there was a group of Imperial Guardsmen rushing over, their golden armor shining brightly in the sunlight.
"Again?!"
"I've already been granted the title of Imperial Master, what else should I be granted?!"
If it was the first, second, or third time, the villagers were nervous and scared, but this time, they were a little speechless.
Could it be that there are officials above the first rank
But…
What other officials are there above the first rank? It's impossible. The first rank in the imperial court is the highest official. Moreover, he has already been granted the title of General Anbei. What else can he be granted
No one can figure it out.
However, the Imperial Guards were already approaching. Several hundred Imperial Guards blocked the entire entrance to Beishan Village, but the Imperial Guards still arrived in front of Fang Zhengzheng.
"Lord Fang, the Emperor has a decree!"
"Read it." Fang Zhengzheng was speechless. Of course he could see that this was Lin Mubai's purpose, and he issued the imperial edict one after another.
He can also understand the intention.
Since ancient times, there have been rules for promotion in imperial court. If you don’t want to cause too many ambiguities, you must go up one level at a time.
When he was appointed Minister of Etiquette, he was only a third-rank official and a second-rank servant.
In this way, the Holy Master Lin Mubai could only start from the second grade and slowly work his way up, second grade, then first grade, and then to the first grade...
Add it step by step.
Fang Zhengzheng looked at the sun in the sky. He was thinking, if he were still a ninth-grade official today, how many orders would it take for the Holy Lord Lin Mubai to make him "satisfied"
"Because General Anbei, the national teacher Fang has outstanding achievements in uprightness, he is specially named Anbei Marquis. His mother Qin Xuelian is a first-class imperial concubine, and his father Fang Houde is Taichang Taifu!"
"Fellowship? It's actually been granted!"
"Moreover, even Miss Xuelian has been granted a first-grade imperial title, and Houde has even granted the title of Taifu Tutor. Oh my God, our Beishan Village really has a Marquis now!"
Zhang Yangping and the villagers were already thirsty, but they still couldn't stop their inner excitement. Hoarse shouts and thanksgivings came one after another at the entrance of Beishan Village.
And at this moment...
Another group of Royal Guards appeared in their sight, the dust flying behind them, and the golden armor was so dazzling.
The expressions of Zhang Yangping and the villagers froze.
At this moment, of course, they could no longer speculate that the emperor would come to punish him, because Fang Zhengzheng had already been granted the title of Marquis of Anbei.
However, if it is not punishment, what else can be sealed
"Anbei Hou Fang Zhengzheng, accept the order!" The imperial guard forcefully "killed" Fang Zhengzheng in front of Fang Zhengzheng in the crowded road, and then took out a hand from his arms, sweating profusely. Rolled golden brocade silk.
"Are there any more behind?" Fang Zhengzheng looked at the sweaty guards in front of him, and then looked behind them. Unfortunately, his line of sight was completely blocked and he couldn't see if there was anyone behind him.
"This... young general doesn't know!" Wei Linjun was stunned for a moment, and then he shook his head cautiously.
"Forget it, just read it." Fang Zhengzheng didn't say anything else, but just looked in the direction of Yanjing City in the east: "Damn it, it's been almost an hour since I received the order, and the buns are already cold!"
