Chapter 184: Goodbye Zhang Jun, Shen Tang is drunk
"I've met Zhang Xiang!"
Shen Tang bowed and saluted!
"Shen Tang, how about you join the army? As long as you agree, I can keep you in the command room of the cavalry capital and grant you the title of General Dingyuan!" Zhang Jun shouted loudly.
"With your talents, as long as you achieve some military exploits, General Xuanwei and General Zhongwu will be easy to capture! Your true identity can allow you to lead an army on your own, just like Yue Wumu twenty years ago, and become the Shen family army! Although you will be swept away by your true identity Bei, I will grant you the title of Marquis!"
As soon as he opened his mouth, Zhang Jun actually marked a golden avenue for Shen Tang!
General Dingyuan is the fifth rank, which is one level lower than ordinary frontier generals, and a step higher than a fierce general like Deng Jie. As for Xuanwei and Zhongwu, they are the titles of chief generals, such as Xin Qiji, and It's just Feng Zhuangwu. As for Feng Hou, he is a third-rank official in the court, and he is famous even above the court.
Not to mention Shen Tang, even a general or a high-ranking official in the court would be tempted by such a temptation.
Shen Tang is also a mortal, and it may be every man's dream to be granted the title of wife and son. However, he knows better that the easier it is to get something, the easier it will be to lose it. He has indeed revealed himself on the battlefield. He has some talent, but it is far from enough to allow the powerful minister in front of him to award him such a reward.
After a while, Shen Tang suppressed the restlessness in his heart, raised his hands and said to Zhang Jun: "Thank you very much, Prime Minister Zhang, for your love. However, I am young and cannot take on such an important responsibility for a while! I hope Prime Minister Zhang will respect you!"
There was no sadness or joy in Zhang Jun's face, he just nodded slightly, "Well, I am also reckless, and I shouldn't disturb your future! In that case, let's drink and eat!"
On the dining table, there were all kinds of delicacies from the sea and mountains that even Shen Tang couldn’t recognize. The wine was even tasted by the imperial concubine himself! Therefore, Shen Tang got drunk very quickly!
"Tang Shen, all the other students have left Sizhou, where are you going next?" Zhang Jun asked lazily.
"Hiccup..." After a wine burp, Shen Tang said vaguely: "My wife is in Taihu Lake, so I went to Taihu Lake..."
"If you have a lovely wife at home, it is natural that you should accompany her diligently!" Zhang Jun said with a smile: "However, it is not true to be rewarded for merit. In this case, Deng Jie will lead his troops to escort you back, and then let him escort you to Taihu Lake !Although it’s not a return home in fine clothes, it’s still true and full of sincerity!”
"Thank you, Prime Minister..." Shen Tang raised his glass and drank again, but his figure was already shaking.
"Uh... I can't bear to drink too much, so I hope the prime minister won't be surprised!" Shen Tang said, shaking his body.
Zhang Jun still nodded with a smile, "In that case, you have worked hard returning to the south, so you will go and rest! Remember to let me know when you are leaving!"
After a vague farewell, several servants came in and helped Shen Tang out attentively.
However, just when Shen Tang was about to step out of the room, Zhang Jun said to himself: "You have a great talent. In this way, I feel at ease with my back in your hands. However, the fighting in the court has subsided. , but it does not indicate severance. Now that you have stepped into it, it will be difficult to escape..."
Staggering in his steps, Shen Tang left with the help of the servant.
"Master, this Mr. Jie Yuang is too weak to drink!" The old servant on the side called a boy to clean up, and he once again put a thin shirt on Zhang Jun!
"You're not very drunk?" Zhang Jun smiled and shook his head, "He is a little slicker, and he is a little slicker with great ambitions! If Feng's wife and Yinzi are not tempted, then he must be a general or a general! Think about it! To become a general or a general, there must be one prerequisite, and that is to be named on the gold list!"
The Jinshi department in the Song Dynasty was extremely valuable. Almost all the candidates in the Song Dynasty were from Jinshi origins, and most of the first-ranked Jinshi were able to sit in the positions. At the very least, it was not difficult to reach a high position in the court.
The temptation offered by Zhang Jun was indeed great, but it also meant cutting off another golden avenue. Therefore, whether Zhang Jun intended it or not, Shen Tang would never agree.
"However, letting this little guy leave the military camp is really a loss to our Song Dynasty." Zhang Jun said regretfully.
"Don't worry, sir. Bian Xi and Xin Tanfu are in the army. If the master is in need, wouldn't Shen Tang be here right away?" the old servant said with a smile.
"Hahaha..." Zhang Jun laughed loudly, "You are the only smart one, but if not so, how could I let this little guy go so easily!"
Back in the Zaoyang Army barracks, Shen Tang had already sobered up. In other words, he was not drunk at all. However, when fighting against such a top old fox, he didn't know which words could frame him in the conversation. It's best if you get drunk.
However, before leaving, Zhang Jun's words made him shiver!
Although Bei Weijun is not the biggest secret about Shen Tang, it is still an extremely secretive matter. Apart from his two brothers, only his close confidants know about it. How did he find out about this photo?
After frowning and thinking for a long time, Shen Tang suddenly realized! That old man, who was not an inconspicuous person, now truly held the peak power in his hands. As long as he wanted to know, how could there be any secrets in this huge empire? The existence of Bei Weijun For others, it is difficult to detect, but this person can know it clearly as long as he puts a little effort into it.
Fortunately, according to his last words, it was considered as acquiescence to this matter, and he had no intention of publicizing it. Otherwise, Shen Tang would probably make waves again.
The wine was so intoxicating that although Shen Tang was not drunk, he was still tipsy! Therefore, he fell into a deep sleep not long after.
In the early morning of the next day, just after Shen Tang woke up, Deng Jie broke into the tent!
"Mr. Shen, the boy who sent you back last night said that Prime Minister Zhang will grant you the title of Marquis?" Deng Jie stared with a pair of bull's eyes, a little envious! Don't say it's him, even the commander-in-chief would be moved. .
Shen Tang smiled bitterly, this rumor spread so quickly, "The general misunderstood, Prime Minister Zhang was just joking, it cannot be taken seriously!"
"Tsk tsk..." Deng Jie shook his head regretfully, "Fenghou, even if someone makes such a joke to Lao Deng!"
"By the way, where is the young master going? I have received an order from Prime Minister Zhang to lead two thousand soldiers to temporarily protect the young master's safety!" Deng Jie asked.
When Shen Tang heard this, he shook his head helplessly again. Naturally, he didn't want to accept it. However, he had already rejected an offer. If he refused again, he would be ignorant. Do he really think that the prime minister's words were just casual?
"That's it, General Lao!" Shen Tang said, "I want to go to Taihu Lake today! However, there is no danger in the land south of the Yangtze River, so we only bring a few hundred soldiers, and the others wait in the camp first. !”
"Hey, sir, this can't be done!" Deng Jie scratched his head, "Prime Minister Zhang's order is very clear, he is to lead two thousand troops!"
