As Li Dingguo raised his eyebrows, the temperature in the hall seemed to suddenly drop, and there was a sign that a mountain rain was about to come, and the wind filled the building.
At the entrance of the main hall, the father-in-law had also turned around and looked at Su Lu with squinted eyes. The imperial guards at the door were poking their heads, as if they could rush in at any time.
Su Lu felt that Li Dingyuan on the imperial steps was like a lion about to become furious, and the father-in-law at the door seemed to be a gray wolf hiding in the dark, staring at him secretly, ready to pounce at any time to kill him.
Li Qing stopped between Su Lu and Li Dingyuan: "Father, that's not what Su Lu meant."
Li Dingyuan's tall body suddenly softened, as if his bones had been removed, and his whole body felt exhausted.
"Qing'er, prepare yourself to replace Pound as the Grand Governor of the Forbidden Army and take charge of the Imperial Guard in the capital."
After finishing speaking, Li Dingyuan glanced at Su Lu, and his eyes turned cold.
"A dignified man of seven feet, you are so unwilling to make progress, how do you want me to see you?"
Su Lu replied nonchalantly: "Sit and watch, stand and watch, your Majesty, you can watch whatever you feel comfortable with."
Li Qing covered his mouth.
Li Dingyuan's eyebrows also relaxed, and the anger on his face dissipated a lot.
"You are a lazy boy. You have made great achievements this time, and you should have been promoted to a rank. Now you have hated me, and you have been promoted to a rank instead of a rank."
"The decree is passed that the Dingxiang army has meritorious service in defeating the thieves. All of them will be promoted to the first level and rewarded with ten thousand coins. The commander-in-chief Su Lu has meritorious service in defeating the thieves. He will be promoted to General Mingwei in the fourth rank of the Jin Dynasty."
Su Lu was quite indifferent to this. His rank had been promoted so fast these days. Before he even got the monthly salary of General Dingyuan of the fifth rank, he was promoted to General Mingwei of the fourth rank. Su Lu couldn't feel this at all.
The benefits that the fourth and fifth grades bring to you.
The emperor was a little tired and waved his hand:
"Stay back, Su Lu. You continue to spy on the Thule people to see if there are any Tule people left in the capital. If there are any, you can uproot them."
Su Lu and Li Qing left the main hall and walked towards the palace gate. At the door, the father-in-law was still smiling.
Away from the imperial army and eunuchs, Li Qing blamed Su Lu and said:
"You don't want to be the governor, so why do you want to pass the matter to me? If my father hadn't been angry at that time, I wouldn't have been willing to take on this job for you."
Su Lu suddenly became unhappy,
"General, you are wrong. I risked my life to give you the post of Grand Governor. Besides, in the future military meetings at the Ministry of War, we will see who dares to treat you like nothing."
Li Qing's eyes suddenly lit up and little stars began to twinkle.
Su Lu continued:
"Besides, my strength is fighting. You see, I am invincible in battles. If I don't fight, I will be too lazy. If I really guard the palace for the emperor, I might lose my life because of my laziness.
."
Li Qing nodded: "Yeah, even though the Dingxiang Army is being dealt with so well by you now, it is the Thule people you want to investigate in the capital. If it weren't for the Thule people hanging on you, I think the Dingxiang Army is also strong.
Not going anywhere."
"You'd better concentrate on writing poems. As Xie Ruyu, the general, said, the poems you write may save a city with one poem. It's better to write more poems."
A forbidden soldier ran past the two of them with vigorous steps, his robes crooked and his armor scattered.
Li Qing was about to take office as the Commander-in-Chief of the Forbidden Army and was a little annoyed with the disheveled guards.
"stop"
"Why are you so panicked?"
The imperial guard recognized Li Qing, hurriedly clasped his fists in salute, and said respectfully:
"General, the Xuanfu has urgently reported that the camp was ambushed by the Thule army during the process of moving to Yumen. Most of the guards at the camp were killed. General Xiao Cong's life and death are unknown."
Li Qing's face turned pale and he waved his hand: "Go and report to His Majesty."
The two walked for a while. Li Qing was worried about Li Dingyuan's health, so he turned around and walked back to the palace.
"Su Lu, you go back first, I'll go see my father."
Su Lu walked out of the palace gate. Chang Ning saw that Su Lu was the only one coming out, and asked in confusion:
"Sir, where is my general?"
"The Xuanfu is reporting urgently. Your general is following the order to the imperial army to see the emperor."
Su Lu rubbed his forehead and said, Xuanfu was still defeated!
Su Ge immediately jumped over and asked: "Did the Beiyang camp suffer a disastrous defeat? I heard from the general that no one in the Ministry of War paid attention to your opinion, and it would definitely lead to a disastrous defeat. Isn't it a real defeat this time?"
After hearing this, several people in Changning turned pale at the same time.
They had stayed in Beiyang for a long time and were very fond of Beiyang. After hearing what Su Ge said about the disastrous failure of the Beiyang camp, they suddenly became worried about their relatives and friends in Beiyang.
Su Lu waved his hand: "What nonsense are you talking about? Nothing happens in Beiyang. You don't have to worry. Let's go."
When Su Lu returned to the Dingxiang military camp, the eunuch who announced the decree had already left, and the entire camp was in a state of feverish excitement.
"We have been promoted twice in one month. Do you think the imperial court will give me both the monthly salary from the ninth rank and the lower ninth rank to me?"
"Go ahead and think it's nice. If the imperial court can give me a monthly salary starting from the eighth grade, I'll be very happy."
"I, Lao Cheng, can also reach the eighth rank and get a monthly salary of twenty taels. The children finally don't have to go hungry anymore. It's great to follow the governor."
"Who said the Governor was a idiot last time?"
"Wu Laosan, say it again, I'll kill you. You've been promoted twice to the Governor, and you dare to call the Governor a idiot. I'll kill you."
Zhao Pu and Li Ling hooked up and said, "I thought that if I fell to the Dingxiang Army, my life would be over. But I didn't expect that I would be the fifth-grade General Ningyuan again."
With tears in his eyes, Li Lin looked up at the sky and murmured to himself:
"Dad, as you can see, I am now a sixth-grade Zhaowu captain and a captain of the Forbidden Army and Dingxiang army. I am no worse than you were back then. My current monthly salary can support my mother and sister.
."
"Following the Governor, my future will definitely get better and better. Dad, your spirit in heaven must keep the Governor safe."
Su Lu looked confused and asked your father’s spirit in heaven to protect me!
Li Dazhuang was wiping his tears when Su Lu asked Dazhuang curiously.
"Your boy must have graduated from the eighth grade now, why are you still not happy?"
When Da Zhuang saw it was Su Lu, he quickly wiped his tears and said in a hoarse voice:
"Commander, you are back. The imperial decree came just now. You have been promoted from the fourth rank to General Mingwei, but your career and title have not changed much."
When Su Lu's job and title were mentioned, Da Zhuang looked embarrassed. It seemed that it was because of himself that he had prevented Su Lu from improving his title and title.
Su Lu patted Da Zhuang's shoulder: "It's a happy thing to be promoted to a higher rank. There's nothing to cry about. It's so embarrassing for a seven-foot man to pee like a cat."
Da Zhuang laughed, and the nearby sergeants also laughed when they saw Su Lu.
"Commander, Li Dazhuang has only graduated from the eighth rank. Several brigade commanders have higher ranks than him. He is crying because of his low rank."
Some of the noisy Imperial Guards shouted.
Li Dazhuang became angry: "Li Laoshuan, just wait and see how I can surpass you."
"Report to the Governor, the magistrate of Yanjing Prefecture to ask for an audience."
Su Lu looked at the guard who reported the news strangely. He had no friendship with the government. Although the Dingxiang Army had the task of arresting thieves, there was no need for the Dingxiang Army to dispatch the east and west four city camps if there were big thieves in the important area of Gyeonggi.
The soldiers were put away.
Su Lu really couldn't understand why the governor of Yanjing asked to see him.
