During a cup of tea, in a side room in the inner courtyard of the mansion, a "dong-dong-dong" knock could be heard at the door.
Muchuan was fast asleep on the bed, but you must know that he, Ouyang Bufan, and Mo Zhu chatted very late last night and did not fall asleep until dawn.
As a result, before three hours had passed, there was a strange noise from the time gate, which even woke up Muchuan.
Muchuan shouted toward the door rather resentfully: "Who is it! The one who made the noise so early in the morning wants to die?"
"Sir...Sir! It's me, I'm Dali, I have something to ask you to see!"
"Is it Dali?
What's going on with you kid? Why did you come to disturb me so early in the morning?"
Muchuan cursed.
On weekdays, people would often come over to wake Muchuan up in the mansion, but Temujin would not do it. He was a smart and sensible person, and he knew that Muchuan would lose his temper if he didn't get enough sleep.
Now seeing that Temujin Dali came to look for something big, Muchuan could only suppress his temper and shouted outside: "Dali, come in."
"Yes, my lord!"
After Temujin came in vigorously, Muchuan asked the other party what was wrong, and the result was that he saw the other party holding an imperial edict in his hands.
When Muchuan saw this imperial edict, he stood up and bowed as a reflex reflex, then raised his head and said, "Is it the emperor's edict?
Did the emperor tell me something?"
"My lord, you have misunderstood...this imperial edict is not for you, but for me."
"What?
Isn’t it my imperial edict?”
Muchuan was obviously stunned.
Later, after Temujin Dali explained it, Muchuan finally understood the whole story. It turned out that the emperor had appointed a lower-ranking ninth-grade official position to Temujin Dali!
This matter was also something Muchuan expected. When he asked the emperor for a reward in the court, he made such a request.
In the fight against the Goguryeo soldiers and the rescue of the crown prince, in addition to Muchuan, there were many generals who made special contributions, and they all deserve a commendation for this.
Because there were so many people who made contributions, Li Shimin specifically asked Muchuan to write a list of his contributions.
In addition to listing the generals of the eastern border army, Muchuan also listed Temujin Dali together. This is why this scene happened.
Now that Muchuan told this matter, he complained: "Isn't your Majesty too stingy to reward Dali with a ninth-grade official position?"
The Tang Dynasty established a nine-rank official position system, with the first rank as the highest rank and the ninth rank as the lower rank.
The ordinary ninth-grade official position is the county magistrate of various small places. Although he is a parent official, he does not have much power.
However, for a commoner like Temujin Dali, even becoming a centurion was a great honor, let alone becoming a ninth-level official "soldier cao and joining the army".
"Lord Muchuan's kindness in guiding people to meet others, I will definitely remember it in my heart and repay my kindness!"
When Temujin spoke so vigorously, he even knelt on the ground, and it seemed that he was about to kowtow to Muchuan.
Muchuan couldn't stand others giving such a big gift, so he immediately helped Temujin up and taught him a lesson: "Why do you kneel when you are so good? The reason why you have achieved today's results is entirely because of yourself! If you didn't
If you are truly talented and knowledgeable, no matter how capable you are, no one can help you."
"grown ups……"
"Okay, okay, that's what you want to say, right?
Now that you’re done, go out quickly and don’t disturb my sleep.”
Muchuan waved his hand and was about to drive Temujin out vigorously.
Temujin exerted great strength but did not move. His feet seemed to be stuck to the ground. He said blankly: "Sir, I still have something to say...Although I have become a 'Bing Cao Shenjun', I still want to serve you.
Work as an ox or a horse for the Lord."
Becoming a "Bing Cao and joining the army" means that Temujin Dali has been given a position. He will no longer be able to cook for Muchuan as before, which makes Temujin Dali very reluctant.
For this reason, Temujin strongly insisted: "I will resign from this position of 'soldier cao and join the army'. I am willing to become a cook beside you, serving you day and night, in front of you and behind your horse!"
It sounds like Temujin's powerful words are quite touching, as if he is a loyal slave.
Muchuan, however, raised his hand and patted Temujin's powerful head, yelling that the other party was a fool! Although this "Bingcao Junjun" was a minor official, he was still an official after all! He got a salary!
"How can I allow you to throw away the official position that you finally got?"
Temujin vigorously said: "If not... I'm afraid that the villain will be transferred to the military camp in Gyeonggi Province and given the position of 'soldier cao and join the army'. Wouldn't that mean that he would not be able to do his best for the adults?"
"So you're worried about this?
Forget it, you don’t need to worry about this."
Why did Li Shimin give Temujin Dali the position of "soldier cao and join the army"? In fact, this position can be said to be both leisurely and busy.
Bing Cao joins the army in a civilian role, mainly providing feasible suggestions to military camps and companies.
It would be very busy during wartime, but in peacetime it is dispensable.
On the other hand, Muchuan also specifically asked Sun Wuji, the commander-in-chief, for instructions. If there were no special circumstances, Temujin Dali would continue to stay in the Shangshu's residence and would not report to the military camp.
In short, Muchuan opened a back door for Temujin. He joined the army and worked as a cook, and received double salary.
At this time Muchuan smiled and patted Temujin Dali's shoulder: "Dali, don't even think about it. Your cooking is so delicious, how can I be willing to let you go! I will definitely keep you by my side.
ah!"
"Sir..." Tears filled Temujin's eyes. As he spoke, his knees seemed to be about to kneel down and kowtow in thanks.
Why did this big man have to kneel down at every turn? Muchuan immediately supported him and said: "Dali, please don't kneel down at every turn. I don't like such red tape."
"I understand! If the adults don't like it, I won't kneel down!"
"Okay, there shouldn't be anything else to do next, right?
If nothing happens, please leave quickly, I have to rest and sleep."
"Yes, little man, please step back now!"
Temujin vigorously took two steps and one step at a time, bowed his hands, and then retreated.
At that time, the entire wing becomes quiet, and the sunlight shines brightly through the paper windows.
Muchuan yawned, leaned back, and fell asleep with a plop, looking peaceful and peaceful.
Time went by, the sun went up, and after falling into a deep sleep, Muchuan finally felt full!
It's so cool, this is what it feels like to have "privilege"!
