In the hall of Qingzhou Commander's Yamen, Qingzhou Commander Song Xinghe led his numerous Qianhu, Baihu and other officers to kneel down in front of an incense table with incense candles placed on it. Behind the incense table stood a man in red clothes.
The eunuch, who was in his thirties and wearing Liuguang clothing and a Zhuguang hat (also known as a three-mountain hat), with a white face and no beard, was reading out the imperial edict in his unique sharp voice. Behind him, four people wearing flying fish stood with their heads held high.
Wearing clothes, the Jin Yiwei with an embroidered spring knife on his waist was looking at everyone eagerly.
"By God's blessing, the emperor summoned Song Xinghe, the commander of Qingzhou. He is an honest official and has outstanding political achievements. He will be given a special reward of two thousand taels of silver. This year, he will be evaluated as excellent in the evaluation to show the emperor's favor. I appreciate this!"
"Thank you so much, long live my emperor!"
Song Xinghe, who was kneeling on the ground, had a flash of joy on his face, and he received the edict to thank everyone. After everyone thanked them, the eunuch picked up another edict and asked in a sharp voice: "Lingshan Guards Station Wanghai Fort Baidu
Has Hu Pang just arrived?"
Pang Gang, who was kneeling at the back, knew what was coming as soon as he heard it. He suppressed the joy in his heart and clasped his fists and said, "Let me tell you, sir, this official is Pang Gang, a householder in Wanghai Fort. Please tell me!"
"Are you Pang Gang?" The eunuch took a deep look at Pang Gang, and then slowly said as if a smile flashed in his eyes: "Please come forward and listen to the announcement of the Za family's decree."
After listening to the eunuch's words, everyone who was still kneeling on the ground showed a look of surprise in their eyes, except Song Xinghe. How virtuous and capable this Pang Gang was, that he could actually make the emperor remember him, and even issue an edict specially for him.
This is also the case, regardless of what is being sung on the folk stage, the emperor has made such-and-such a thing with just one imperial edict, and promoted so-and-so magistrate to prefect with just one edict. The emperor's edict is like cabbage on the street.
So widespread, in fact, it is purely a rumor of ignorant people. Ancient imperial edicts were not issued casually. Even if a certain prefect or a certain military officer was promoted, it was only issued by the Ministry of Personnel or the Ministry of War. It is just like promotion in later generations.
A certain county magistrate or mayor only needs to issue an official document from the organizational department of the city or province. I have never heard of the president of the country issuing a presidential order to promote someone to the county magistrate.
Documents are not in line with organizational procedures and are not scientific. Although there were no such strict procedures in ancient times, imperial edicts were not so easy to see.
The emperor just issued an imperial edict to Song Xinghe because his rank was high enough. He was in charge of all the garrison troops in Qingzhou. He was considered a high-ranking official. It was understandable that he would be remembered by the emperor. You, Pang Gang, have a small household.
It would be too outrageous to ask the emperor to remember it, right?
However, no matter what those people thought, the eunuch still unfolded the imperial edict and read loudly in his high-pitched and thin voice: "By God's destiny, the emperor summoned Pang Gang, a hundred households in Lingshan Guards Station in Qingzhou, who is loyal, brave and courageous, outside Yangzhou City
I am very pleased to have defeated the Japanese pirates, beheaded hundreds and captured countless others. I specially promoted him to Lingshan Guard Qianhu, and rewarded him with a thousand taels of silver and twenty pieces of silk and satin to show the emperor's favor. I appreciate this!"
"I accept the decree and express my gratitude. Long live my emperor!"
Pang Gang took over the imperial edict from the eunuch with joy. With the imperial edict issued by the emperor, I will definitely have a secure position in the Thousand Households, and no one can take it away.
Seeing the eunuch in front of him solemnly handing the imperial edict to Pang Gang, everyone around him was filled with envy. This guy was so lucky. In one year, he climbed to a position that others might not be able to reach in a lifetime.
This makes the veterans who have worked hard for decades feel very embarrassed.
For example, Qingzhou Qianhu Hao Dayong, who once worked with Pang Gang to suppress bandits, Ye Bu Sheng Baihu Heitie, who had a conflict with Pang Gang, and the original Lingshan Guard Baihus, etc...
But no matter what, now that the imperial edict has been issued, Pang Gang has become a legitimate member of the Qianhu of Lingshan Guards. Even the commander Song Xinghe can't change this. Everyone came over one by one with smiles on their faces.
When he greets himself, regardless of whether the smile on his face is sincere or false, Pang Gang has to return the greeting one by one.
However, Pang Gang did not lose his head. He always remembered that there was also his immediate superior present. He got rid of the surroundings of his colleagues, came to Song Xinghe, who had an obviously excited look on his face, and said respectfully: "
I sincerely wish you a bright future and good promotions!"
"Haha... Chaodong, you're here!" Song Xinghe's attitude became more friendly than before. Now Pang Gang's identity is no longer the small Baihu before. The official Qianhu is no longer
After all, it is a dispensable role, especially in a large place like Lingshan Guards Station, which governs more than a thousand military households and has a population of five to six thousand, it is an object that cannot be ignored.
Song Xinghe called Pang Gang over, patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Chaodong, let me introduce you to Eunuch Qian from the palace. Eunuch Qian is a nobleman from the palace. Tonight
You should toast Eunuch Qian with a few glasses of wine!"
Having said this, Song Xinghe put his hand on Pang Gang's shoulder and squeezed hard, and Pang Gang immediately gave Song Xinghe a look of understanding.
Pang Gang immediately stepped forward to talk to this Eunuch Qian, and soon a silver note worth one thousand taels was quietly thrust into the hands of the other party during the handshake between Pang Gang and Eunuch Qian.
Although he didn't say anything, the smile on his face became even brighter.
He followed Pang Gang with a smile and said: "Pang Qianhu's reputation has been admired by the Zajia family for a long time, and even the emperor has mentioned it."
"Is it true?" Pang Gang asked calmly, but he didn't care in his heart, "You, a damn eunuch, really dare to fool me. You don't even believe that the emperor would pay attention to a small Qianhu like me.
"
"Of course it's true. Why did the Zajia lie to you?"
Who is a eunuch? People in the palace rely on reading people's hearts to make a living. How could Pang Gang hide his little thoughts from him?
Eunuch Qian knew from Pang Gang's face that he didn't believe it. He chuckled and said, "Don't believe it. The Za family has been serving the emperor all day long, and the emperor mentioned your name a few days ago."
"Oh, my brother's little thoughts have been spotted by him."
Pang Gang was slightly startled, and finally let go of his contempt for this shrill eunuch. It seemed that no one who could get along in the palace was simple. It seemed that the money given by his brother just now was a little short.
When Pang Gang put aside his contempt and started chatting with Eunuch Qian, he realized that Eunuch Qian was not as ecstatic as he used to do when he read YY articles on the Internet with his nostrils turned upward and his chin talking to people when he left the palace.
People like them. Talking to them will also make people feel like a spring breeze, and people will have a good impression of them without knowing it.
"Damn it, any idiot would describe the eunuchs as stupid as if their heads were pinched by the door panels. You see, this guy in front of me is very good at being a person. His words are very organized and measured, and he doesn't seem to be arrogant at all.
Tuoba people."
In fact, this is because Pang Gang was misled by some online novels of later generations. They did not want to think about which eunuch around the emperor was not a well-rounded person. If they were all arrogant or arrogant people, they would be punished by the emperor.
Reuse and trust?
Pang Gang, who had put down his burden, quickly became familiar with Eunuch Qian. After a while, Song Xinghe came over and said that wine and food had been prepared upstairs in Zuixiang, and he invited the imperial envoy and all the gentlemen to come to the banquet.
That night, Pang Gang, who became one of the protagonists, was drunk and was finally carried back to the inn by four soldiers. Even though he was drunk, he kept mumbling, "I
I have been promoted, and now I have a thousand households..."
