No matter what happened that night, Zhang Tao also visited Du Yun. Although he still didn't know why she left, everything was fine at last. Zhang Tao, who was relieved, returned to the palace, but Du Yun's eyes were blurred. "Hey, Poison."
Sir, why don’t you just say it?”
"It would be better if you stay less involved in my affairs." The next moment, his blurred eyes turned cold.
Mo Ying smiled bitterly and said nothing. The next day! The civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty were reorganized. The ancient king's affairs were quite turbulent. Gu Longtian's first priority was to stabilize people's hearts. Of course, he also had to secretly remove everything the ancient king had in the court.
!
"Xuan Zhangtao!" "Xuan Changtao!" "Xuan Changtao!" Three consecutive sounds seemed to reach the ends of the earth, and Zhang Tao walked over with tiger steps in a military uniform.
Everyone around him, including Chang Ying, palace maids, imperial guards, and civil and military officials, all looked at Zhang Tao with a complex look that was slightly flattering but also seemed to be worshiping. But he himself was indeed not squinting as he strode towards the palace!
Walking into the main hall, facing the civil and military officials, the majestic emperor, and the three princes, Zhang Tao had an indifferent expression, unfazed by honor or disgrace, and bowed his head slightly, "Your Majesty, Holy An!" Just that, it was enough, because Zhang Tao gave permission.
No right to kneel.
"No gift, please sit down!" The two Chang Yings immediately brought over a beautifully carved, gorgeous and precious chair. Zhang Tao nodded slightly, thanked him, and sat down very solemnly.
In this court, even if you are sitting, you must follow the rules of sitting. Although it is tiring to think about it, sometimes it is inevitable to put on makeup.
"I love you Zhang Tao." Gu Longtian said with a smile.
Zhang Tao stood up again at this time. Gu Longtian waved his hand before Zhang Tao sat down. "This time, the ancient king rebelled. I saw your loyalty at the critical moment. You saved me from danger and turned the tide to defeat the ancient king."
Since you have made a huge contribution, I have decided to give you three rewards for you to choose."
Wen and Wu below didn't say anything, they all listened carefully. They all wanted to know what kind of reward Zhang Tao could get?
"First! There is a city in the north-southwest that is rich in aquatic products. If you are willing, you can be transferred to become the city lord and enjoy the prosperity without having to see it every day." Gu Longtian said with a smile.
When this reward appeared, everyone present was stunned, and those who heard its meaning even looked weird, but no one said anything. Now everyone knows the problems of the imperial city clearly, and there is no need to explain.
"As expected, the emperor actually wants to transfer me from afar...do you think the birds are gone and the bows are hidden?" Zhang Tao sighed in his heart, but on the surface he was still smiling, waiting for Gu Longtian to speak.
Gu Weiran's face was a little unnatural, but he soon recovered. Gu Longtian seemed not to notice that everyone continued talking, "This is second grade! I plan to give you an official position in the Ministry of Industry, as a second grade
Senior officer, you are in charge of the mobilization of the palace's carriages and horses, including my imperial chariot." Gu Longtian said with a smile.
But the expressions of all the officials in the audience were even more exciting. What is this? An official position in the Ministry of Industry without real power? Everyone can see that he was promoted and demoted. Zhang Tao was still indifferent. In fact, he had already guessed this situation before he came.
One or two.
However, even if Zhang Tao was treated like this, no one dared to look at him with the slightest contempt or disdain. At most, some narrow-minded people would just take pleasure in his misfortune.
"Third, I can see that you are a talented person. The people in the northwest grasslands of the border area are strong and strong. They are good at some strange tricks. They have always been a formidable enemy to our Honghao country. So,
If your talents can help me guard the border, I will definitely be able to sit back and relax." Gu Longtian said.
The three rewards are either to deprive Zhang Tao of his real power, or to transfer Zhang Tao away. No matter what the reward is, its nature is extremely obvious.
Seeing Zhang Tao's calm expression, Gu Longtian immediately added, "Of course, this is my gratitude to you, and it is also a reward. You can choose freely and choose a day to deploy."
Grateful? It is natural for a minister to be loyal. How could he, Gu Longtian, say these words? Everyone knows it very well. Because Gu Longtian is more afraid of Zhang Tao, he does not dare to say it too explicitly or impose his will. If there is a princess under his knees,
, it would be a good thing, and Zhang Tao could become one of his own, but it is a pity that all Gu Long Tian Chenghuan's children are sons.
After hearing Gu Longtian's last words, Zhang Tao stood up and said, "I am not sure about the position of city lord. Let alone benefiting the local people, whether I can handle government affairs well is also a problem. As for border defense, we need experienced generals.
Although I am a warrior, I am not a soldier. I am really powerless. Only by joining the Ministry of Works and continuing to be loyal to the emperor can I use my skills."
Zhang Tao's words are very clear. I will not leave the imperial city. Zhang Tao's meaning is also very clear. I am helping Gu Weiran. Now that the ancient king has collapsed, the imperial city is really in dire need. When the heroes are divided, I may leave Gu Weiran.
? Even if you don’t have real power, as long as you are in the imperial city, you can naturally do your best.
After hearing Zhang Tao's words, Gu Longtian smiled gently, "You are indeed a loyal minister, okay! I understand your intention, you can take up the post of Ministry of Works."
"Your Majesty! I have something to say." At this time, an old minister came out and said.
"Oh? It turns out to be Mr. Zhong. He has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it." Gu Longtian said.
Zhang Tao noticed slightly, Mr. Zhong? Isn't he Zhong Kai's father? But Zhang Tao didn't say anything, "The vacancy in the East Palace must be filled." This sentence is also very clear. Gu Longtian is not young, and it is imperative to establish a prince. East Palace
How can one be without a master for a day?
Gu Longtian pondered for a moment and said, "Chen Mi is a talented person, why not let him become the commander."
Zhang Tao was stunned. Chen Mi was his confidant. Gu Longtian suppressed him, but promoted his confidant. What did this mean? Was he trying to please himself to prove that he was not completely cut off from him? Or was it something else?
"Yes!" The candidates for the East Palace were confirmed, and everything would be fine. Gu Weiran's face returned to calm at this time, and Zhang Tao did not have any dissatisfaction. Everything seemed to be very peaceful.
After retiring from the court, many ministers came to congratulate Zhang Tao and invited Zhang Tao to a dinner party. Zhang Tao declined them one by one, but the third prince was called in alone by the emperor.
"Congratulations to Sir Zhang for becoming a second-grade officer. It is absolutely unique for such a young person to be awarded a second-grade officer. There will definitely be a place for you in the history of the future. I also hope that you can do your business well and don't ignore the emperor's good intentions." Yan Sha
Said meaningfully.
Zhang Tao clasped his fists respectfully, but he did not dare to be presumptuous with this old general. "Brother Zhang, the emperor seems to be..." Lu Kong came over and whispered after seeing that the crowd was sparse.
Zhang Tao smiled and said, "Brother Lu, be careful with your words. You will definitely have more opportunities to show yourself in the future. It is not suitable for you to participate now. Zhang's incident may seem ordinary, but in fact it contains profound meaning. You just need to go
Just follow your own path." Zhang Tao could see that Lu Kong only wanted to get an official position, but he had no greater ideals in his life, only glory and wealth, so now Lu Kong could only stay out of it in order to live in peace.
.
"Thank you, Brother Zhang, for the suggestion." Lu Kong bowed deeply.
Returning to the East Palace, Chen Mi was already looking forward to it. Apparently the emperor's decree had already been read out by Chang Ying. "Sir, you are back!" Not only Chen Mi, but also many guards came here, and they actually left without permission.
position.
But their worries are real. How many honors and benefits will Zhang Tao bring to them? Although they used to think it was good to be lazy, but after receiving the honor, they remembered what they wanted to do when they came to the Forbidden Palace in the first place.
, they woke up, who brought this to them, it was Zhang Tao!
Now Zhang Tao, a dignified military attaché, has actually been transferred to a civilian position? It is simply ridiculous. "What are you doing? I just resigned, and you left your post without permission? You have ignored my words in the past, and you still have the truth in your eyes.
Do you want a seat?" Zhang Tao said coldly.
"Sir, don't leave! Who else here is qualified for the position of commander of the East Palace except you?" At this time, a guard said loudly, and judging from his appearance, he seemed to be sincere.
Chen Mi said, "Sir, you gave Chen Mi a chance, but now what? Are you going to leave us without waiting for Chen Mi to repay you? We must jointly report to the emperor to ask him to take back his life, or let us continue.
I will follow you and I believe the emperor will agree."
"Yes, sir, you are our leader."
Seeing the efforts of countless people below to stay, Zhang Tao was also quite excited. Qin Huanran and Wang looked at them from a distance, and they also sighed. People should treat each other with courtesy. It used to be difficult for Zhang Tao to come here, but now? But now?
It's a completely opposite attitude. It only changes in half a year, but life is so unpredictable.
"Assholes! You are so confused! Do you think you are loyal to me? Who do you think I am loyal to? In the whole world, it is not the kingdom, the object of allegiance to us is the emperor, what do you think? Are you taking over the host? Chen Mi, you
You need to find out who you were loyal to when you entered the Forbidden Palace in the first place? You idiots should think about it." Zhang Tao's angry shouting made everyone below dare to speak.
But their faces were full of shame! "I can't bear to leave you all. Everyone has feelings, but no matter where we are, we will be under the same sky, we will see the same sun, and we will all be loyal to one person. You just
You need to remember this, then we will meet again at any time!" Zhang Tao said loudly.
"Yes! Commander!" This was the last time that this group of passionate men called Commander Zhang Tao. Although this period of time was not long, Zhang Tao was deeply moved when he looked at the group of true-hearted men below. After a long, long time,
Zhang Tao will still remember these brothers who followed him. Maybe Zhang Tao can't remember everyone clearly, but Zhang Tao will never forget that he once met a group of brothers here who moved him!
