Zhuo Mufeng estimated that the imperial court had planned their itinerary and specially chose to announce it when they passed through Gusu City. He had no expectations for this and did not think it had anything to do with him.
Unexpectedly, the old eunuch who delivered the order personally called out his name and asked Zhuo Mufeng to come forward and obey the order.
Brush brush brush.
One after another eyes fell on Zhuo Mufeng, some were surprised, some were envious, and some were jealous. On the way back, the missionaries learned that Eastern Zhou and Northern Qi had reached an agreement. The two sides exchanged the three cities of Lanshui for the three cities of Nanwu and fought against Zhongzhou.
Caught off guard.
Such a great achievement, if it can be touched, is enough to honor the ancestors, but judging from this meaning, His Majesty seems to have singled out Zhuo Mufeng and wants to give him a big reward!
Thinking of this, almost all the young men present were so jealous that their eyes turned red. The women looked at Zhuo Mufeng, who was rich and handsome and had a bright future, and their eyes were filled with tears.
It is estimated that if Mr. Zhuo hooks his fingers now, some women will take the initiative to get close to him.
Wu Yuanyuan was both proud and arrogant. She puffed up her majestic breasts and looked around with her beautiful eyes. Under her unparalleled appearance and aura, all the girls couldn't help but lower their heads, feeling ashamed.
Wu Yuanyuan stepped forward, tidied up Zhuo Mufeng's collar, and smiled softly like a wife: "Why are you still standing there dumbly, go quickly."
Zhuo Mufengxin said, "If it weren't for my cooperation with you, I would have gone up a long time ago. Do I still need to wait until now?"
In public, this guy didn't dare to disgrace the eldest lady, so he nodded obediently, and then, under the eldest lady's satisfied gaze, he walked up to the eunuch who delivered the order, raised his hands and called "father-in-law."
The eunuch who delivered the edict was not impatient. Everyone could see that His Majesty admired this young man. He would be foolish to offend him at such a time. He smiled, spread out the imperial edict, and screamed: "Everyone accept the edict.
!”
The Eighth Prince stood in the front row, followed by several important officials of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty and Zhuo Mufeng, and behind him were the other members of the mission, arranged according to their status, and everyone saluted in unison.
The eunuch who delivered the order said: "In response to Tianshun's timing, and under the orders of the emperor, I have heard that the eight kings, Junchi, led our officials from the Eastern Zhou Dynasty to the Northern Qi Dynasty. They worked hard and worked hard to achieve great results. They argued with the officials of the foreign dynasties first, and urged the alliance agreement later. They made the greatest contribution.
, it comforts my heart very much..."
What followed was a long list of praises, which made Zhuo Mufeng extremely bored. After the eunuch who delivered the order had recited a lot of words and finally came to the issue of rewards, the guy cheered up.
Not only him, but also the Eighth Prince, who had been depressed all the way, pricked up his ears. As the leader of this mission, he should take the lead, and the reward could not be small. I just don't know how the Imperial Brother would express it.
The results came out quickly. In addition to receiving a large amount of property and silk, the most important thing was that the Eighth Prince received an additional six hundred stones of food. This meant that the fiefdom was suddenly expanded. For the Eighth Prince, it meant a great increase in power.
Finally he felt better.
After the Eighth Prince, there were rewards from several other important ministers. Their official positions did not change, but their titles were promoted. These people's faces turned red and they were very excited.
Followed closely by Zhuo Mufeng.
"I heard that Zhuo Mufeng, the captain of the Gusu City Zhechong School, urged the two sides to talk and bridge the gap between the two sides in this alliance. He has made great contributions. I specially promoted him to the position of Gusu City Marching Recorder, with the rank of fourth rank. I hope he will always remain loyal.
,make persistent efforts……"
Zhuo Mufeng didn't hear the next words clearly because his ears were already buzzing, and there seemed to be a commotion behind him. Even the Eighth Prince and several other important ministers looked over in astonishment.
It's not that this reward is too light, on the contrary, it's too heavy.
Zhuo Mufeng was originally the captain of Zhechong, a fifth-grade official. He commanded more than 60,000 soldiers in Gusu City. He was considered to have great power. But compared with the marching records, he was incomparable.
Although the official position has only been promoted by one level, the march recorder can not only command the Zhechong captain of a city, but also has the power to mobilize soldiers and horses outside the city when a war breaks out. The military power is only as important as the military governor and the states.
Under the governor.
Gusu City is one of the most important cities in Dongzhou, so the status and authority of the march records here are much higher than those of other cities.
Prior to this, those who could hold this position were generally 'old men' who had worked hard in various places for many years and were well-known in the military, or were confidants of various military governors.
So when I heard that the Emperor of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty actually handed over this position to Zhuo Mufeng, everyone present, even people like Wu Yuanyuan who were not familiar with political affairs, were stunned and did not come back to their senses for a long time.
Wu Yuanyuan clearly remembered that the last Marching Recorder was a arrogant guy who was not even looked down upon by the Lord of Gusu City.
The reason why she knew this was because she heard her father Wu Guanting tell about it. Once, during the city lord's banquet, the marching recorder was late for more than half an hour. As a result, no one, including the city lord, dared to move their chopsticks. The city lord also
You have to greet each other with a smile.
At that time, Wu Guanting and other Jianghu bigwigs had been sitting at the table next to each other, and they were not even qualified to toast the march recorder...
Looking at Zhuo Mufeng's back, Miss Wu had an extremely unreal feeling. In the blink of an eye, her fiancé was about to become that high-ranking figure that even her father could only look up to?
She thought very simply, but she didn't know that the officials present, including Le Qian, all looked strange after a brief daze.
This is all due to the system of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. A Jiedushi envoy has the right to appoint and remove all officials within his jurisdiction. Now the Emperor of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty bypasses Wei Yudao Jiedushi and directly appoints Zhuo Mufeng. Can Zhuo Mufeng secure his position?
What was the purpose of the Eastern Zhou Emperor's move? Could it be that he wanted to praise and kill this young man?
A look of deep worry flashed in Le Qian's eyes. The eighth prince raised the corners of his mouth, showing a very playful expression.
Although Zhuo Mufeng was a newcomer to the officialdom, he had learned about related matters before, so he quickly understood the interests involved. After being ecstatic, he couldn't help but curse in his heart.
Is there something wrong with that Emperor of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty? You don’t have to do this if you want to play tricks on me, right?
This guy had a gloomy face and had no intention of listening to the rest of the imperial edict. He kept thinking about the current situation. He was even considering whether to quit this bullshit marching recorder to avoid offending Wei Yudao Jiedushi.
.
With his current strength, he would only touch the opponent's bottom line if he thought he would live long enough to make a living on other people's territory.
After the imperial edict was read out, the Eighth Prince felt happy and took the lead to express his thanks loudly. Everyone agreed, except Zhuo Mufeng who lowered his head and did not move his mouth at all.
The eunuch who delivered the edict handed the imperial edict to several people one by one to verify the authenticity, and then put it away. The Eighth Prince and others chatted with him enthusiastically, but Zhuo Mufeng, who was deeply touched by the emperor's favor, stood aside.
His attitude seemed a lot colder.
The Eighth Prince turned his head and smiled deliberately: "Why is Mu Feng so quiet? Could it be that the emperor's favor is too heavy and that it makes you feel frightened?"
Several other important ministers were also laughing. They were all civil servants with imperial examination backgrounds. They were not interested in Zhuo Mufeng's recklessness and looked down upon him from the bottom of their hearts.
Zhuo Mufeng felt extremely unhappy and wished he could punch him, but he also knew that he could only think about it for now.
He hesitated again and again, but still planned to find a reason to resign from this position in a few days, but his mood became calmer, and he said with a fake smile: "What the prince said is, how can I be so virtuous as a kid? I cannot deserve your majesty's love!
"
The eunuch who delivered the order exclaimed, pretending to be angry: "How can you belittle yourself in Zhuo Lu? At the banquet of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, you defeated the best young swordsman of the Northern Qi Dynasty. Not long ago, you defeated the Holy Son of the Moko Sect at the hunting ceremony of the Northern Qi Dynasty.
.
Nowadays, everyone in the world doesn’t know that you are the number one martial arts genius in the world, and the one who is most likely to become a legendary master in the future! You are also both wise and courageous. If even you can’t deserve His Majesty’s love, who can?”
Everyone likes to hear flattery, especially from the mouth of such a flattering eunuch. Even though Zhuo Mufeng was in a bad mood, he was still flattered by the other party's words.
As for the others, they can only be described as having different looks. Not to mention those who are envious, jealous, and hateful. Even the Eighth Prince, recalling Zhuo Mufeng's previous two battles, has to admit that this annoying guy has some abilities.
The number one martial arts genius in the world, what a glorious and glorious title it is. Since the massacre of Juecheng, this title has never been given in the world, because there is no one worthy of it, and now it has fallen to Zhuo Mufeng.
Zhuo Mufeng and even the people in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty mission could not imagine that the five rivers and lakes of the five great dynasties had already been rioting and boiling because of this name. The three words Zhuo Mufeng became famous all over the world and became word of mouth.
character.
The Eighth Prince suddenly frowned, looking at the flattering eunuch who was delivering the order, and realized something was wrong. This dead eunuch was living in the palace, so he shouldn't not understand Zhuo Mufeng's situation, so why was he so polite to him?
Is there some inside story that he doesn't know about?
Just as he was thinking about this, a loud and regular sound came from the distance, accompanied by the shaking of the ground and sweeping dust, and a group of cavalry wrapped in iron armor quickly appeared.
Although there were only a few hundred riders, they all had a majestic momentum and were filled with the iron-blooded aura of the battlefield. They suddenly surged in like dark clouds, causing many people in the mission to feel fear and couldn't help but shrink back.
The Eighth Prince and others were even more shocked, as if they had guessed something, their expressions suddenly changed.
The cavalry stopped not far away. The leading man let out a sigh, turned over, and after looking around, walked up to Zhuo Mufeng and asked: "Is this Zhuo Mufeng, Young Master Zhuo?"
Zhuo Mufeng said blankly: "Do you know me?"
The man smiled: "I looked around and found that you are the most handsome and handsome here, and you are wearing white clothes. Who is the legendary Zhuo Shaoxia?"
Wow, who is this guy? Why can't he tell the truth? Don't you know that it's easy to offend people? Zhuo Mufeng touched his nose and said shyly: "Brother, don't talk nonsense, or you will offend Zhuo."
The man laughed and actually only raised his hand to the eunuch who was delivering the order and even to the Eighth Prince who was wearing a six-clawed dragon suit. Then he turned his attention back to Zhuo Mufeng, took out a tiger jade talisman from his arms and handed it to Zhuo Mufeng.
Feng said: "Young Master Zhuo, no, Zhuo Lu Shi, this is what my master entrusted to you. With this talisman, you can mobilize all the troops in Gusu City."
Zhuo Mufeng was shocked, looked at the other party, and asked dumbfounded: "Who is your master?"
The man proudly replied: "My lord's surname is Zhang, his common name is Jiaquan, and his Taoist name is Master Feihu."
There was a slight inhalation sound at the scene, and the Eighth Prince's pupils shrank sharply, finally determining why the other party dared to ignore him so much.
There should be many people named Zhang Jiaquan in Wei Yu Dao, but there is only one person who calls himself Master Feihu, and that person is Wei Yu Dao Jiedushi!
