Qu Miaode was inevitably nervous on the way to meet Lin Ye.
Before this, he actually didn't have much interaction with the general. At most, he was with him when Ning Wei finally met Lin Ye.
When he came, he was still thinking that the general seemed to be more than sixteen this year, but he was less than seventeen anyway.
Does a general at this age still have some childishness?
If so, should you try to be as plain and plain as possible when speaking?
But if a general can become a general at this age, how could he be really naive and shallow?
Therefore, why don't you try to appear as knowledgeable as possible, at least not so uneducated and tasteless?
He was struggling all the way, after all, this moment was the biggest turning point in his life.
Master Jinglue said that if the general can appreciate him, it will be his great fortune. There is no need to say more about his future future.
He himself doesn't know it, but now that the general's holy family is flourishing, he will have a bright future by following the general.
When I arrived at the gate of Wulingwei Camp, I told the soldier on duty and he waited outside the camp.
Not long after, the soldier came back and said that the general was waiting for him in the central army tent.
Qu Miaode calmed down and quickly entered the camp.
When they arrived outside the Chinese army's tent, they heard Lin Ye lecturing in the tent. He didn't listen carefully, but he could tell from his tone that the general seemed to be dissatisfied with something.
Not long after, a group of people wearing general armor filed out. He took two steps back and bowed in salute.
"Mr. Qu, General, please come in."
A soldier came over to talk to him, and Qu Miaode responded quickly. After tidying up his clothes, he walked in the door.
Lin Ye was sitting there giving instructions and looked up at Qu Miaode.
Qu Miao was about to salute, but Lin Ye had already spoken.
"Since Master Ning asked you to come, he probably has no intention of letting you go back."
Lin Ye said while giving instructions: "There are too many things going on these days, so I won't be polite to you. In a moment, you will go to the military quarters to get the official uniform of the fifth-grade chief registrar. I will have someone take you to select a few people as helpers to carry out the supply camp."
I’ll leave the matter to you.”
Qu Miao was so stunned that he walked in without saying a word, and the general gave him a fifth-rank official position?
It's the fifth grade.
If you put it in Dayu, it would be a state government, and it would be a real local chief official.
Most of those talented people who came from formal imperial examinations could not reach the fifth rank despite their lifetime efforts.
"You know the matter of raising money and food better than I do. Before your Majesty comes here, you'd better sort out the accounts carefully. Your Majesty will definitely review them. What your Majesty has reviewed can be either a good thing or a bad thing for you."
As Lin Ye spoke, he raised his head and glanced at Qu Miaode: "You should settle down tonight and then go back and tell Mr. Ning tomorrow morning that you will stay in Wulingwei to work from now on. Go back early and get familiar with military affairs as soon as possible."
"yes."
Qu Miaode was in a surging mood and immediately understood the general's style of doing things.
That is simple and direct, without so many twists and turns.
So his answer was only one word.
After saying that, he leaned down to salute and walked backward out of the tent.
When he got outside, Qu Miaode took a deep breath and looked around, seeing people coming and going in the camp, and there would be a place for him here.
God's fate is so wonderful. He worked for Ning Weimo for ten years, from being a follower to being a manager, and never left the trivial matters.
Now, just because he went out for a busy day and met some so-called big shots who had nothing to do with him before.
By night, he was an official of the fifth rank.
After Lin Ye waited for Qu Miaode to leave, he looked at the thirteenth senior brother Xu Haoran who was standing on one side. "Excuse me, senior brother, let's discuss it with the other senior brothers and ask who is willing to go to the supply camp to meet Qu Miaode.
Learn how to do things, Qu Miao has been with Ning Weimo for ten years, and he can handle every trivial matter properly, otherwise Ning Weimo would not send the person here."
Lin Ye said: "Brothers please go over and learn from him. The supply camp is the top priority of Wu Lingwei. We are in charge of our own people and feel at ease. If Qu Miao De does well, sooner or later I will transfer him to a more suitable position."
Wherever we are, the baggage camp will be left to the senior brothers to take care of."
Xu Haoran nodded and said: "I will go and talk to them now."
Today, Wulingwei recruits thousands of new soldiers every day.
When His Majesty arrives the day after tomorrow, there will be at least 80,000 Wu Lingwei, even if the number is less than 100,000.
When Emperor Jade sees this scale, he will feel more at ease.
Lin Ye had not been in a hurry to recruit soldiers for so long in Guzhu because he wanted to give Ning Weimo more time to stabilize the local situation.
Things are different now. The emperor is coming, and Lin Ye knows the emperor's intentions, so this matter must be dealt with as soon as possible.
After being busy until late at night, Lin Ye moved his body for a while after leaving the tent, remembered what happened to Qu Miaode, and then walked towards the supply camp.
When we arrived at the place, we saw a mountain of supplies. Qu Miaode was leading a group of people, holding torches and still counting them.
He didn't bother him, but he knew that since Ning Weimo recommended this person, he couldn't use it lightly.
Day by day, everything was complicated, and Lin Ye didn't even have time to practice.
Another day later, news came that Emperor Jade's car was less than a hundred miles away from Yangzicheng.
Lin Ye explained the matter, then selected a group of people and went directly out of the city to welcome them.
At the same time, the mighty Forbidden Army team also slowed down its march.
In the royal chariot, the emperor couldn't help but smile after reading the letter in his hand.
He handed the letter to the woman sitting on one side. The imperial concubine, who was deeply trusted by the emperor, took it but put it aside without reading it.
She was favored not only because she knew how to make His Majesty happy, but also because she knew what her duties were.
Your Majesty can hand her the secret message, but if she reads it as a matter of course, then she is ignorant.
She stood up, walked behind the emperor, and pressed his shoulders.
"Your Majesty is happy?"
Concubine Wan Gui asked.
The emperor smiled and said: "Ning Weimo wrote that Lin Ye had expanded Wu Lingwei to 80,000 people in just twenty days."
He looked back at Concubine Wan Gui: "This young man always surprises me."
Concubine Wan Gui said softly: "Without Lord Ning's help, the General would inevitably have some difficulty. Lord Ning's letter probably didn't mention his own hard work, only the General's."
The emperor smiled and said: "Logically speaking, you shouldn't speak for him."
Concubine Wan Gui's father, Wan Yulou, is the current prime minister. Nowadays, the courtiers are discussing that after a few years, things on Guzhu's side will be almost settled, and Ning Weimo will definitely return to the court and take over Wan Yulou's position.
Therefore, Concubine Wan Gui really shouldn't speak for Ning Weimo.
But she is Concubine Wan Gui, the Concubine Wan Gui who has been favored by the emperor for so many years even though she has not given birth to a prince.
"I am your Majesty's concubine."
Concubine Wan Gui said: "I will never forget my father's education and mother's childbirth, but I don't have to remember that I come from a Wan family all the time."
She knelt down and rested her head on the emperor's knees.
"I am thinking that although Lord Ning is already a second-rank official and a real official in the border areas, there should be some rewards compared to Lord Ning's achievements."
The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, but this rule is meaningless to Concubine Wan Gui.
Because of the emperor's special permission, the queen and the empress did not dare to say these words. If she said it, the emperor would be angry and punish her. But if Wan Guifei said it, nothing would happen.
The Emperor said: "I just rewarded him, but for Lin Ye, there has been no reward since he entered Lone Bamboo. He is the evil one, and it is even harder to do than Ning Weimo."
Concubine Wan Gui said with a smile: "Your Majesty did not reward the general because he wanted to keep it for later, but it is different with Sir Ning."
The emperor said: "Then what do you think we should give him?"
Concubine Wan Gui replied: "Master Ning has been traveling around Dayu, and Mrs. Ning has been staying in Geling. It is not easy."
The emperor smiled: "Then the second grade imperial edict?"
Concubine Wan Gui nodded: "Your Majesty is wise."
The emperor glanced at her, as if he wanted to see something in Concubine Wan Gui's eyes, but Concubine Wan Gui's eyes were extremely clear.
So the emperor sighed and asked: "Are you really not going to ask me about Wan Cangce?"
Concubine Wan Gui replied: "If you want me to know about your majesty's affairs, I will definitely know them. I will not ask about the things that your majesty has not said yet."
The emperor nodded.
After a moment, he said in a calm tone: "Wan Cangce has done some things for me over the years, but I can't let him go higher."
Concubine Wan Gui said: "I understand your Majesty's wishes."
Her father's position as prime minister will be replaced in a few years.
If Your Majesty wants to change the blood of the imperial court, it is impossible for him to let one Master Wan go down and replace him with another Master Wan.
Therefore, no matter how capable, smart, and loyal her brother is, he will never be able to reach higher or further.
"I will make arrangements."
The emperor said: "I won't let you worry."
Concubine Wan Gui hummed and rubbed her forehead against the emperor's leg, like a gentle cat curled up in its owner's arms.
The Emperor said: "In fact, I can't say that I have wronged your father or your brother in these years. I have only treated you badly."
Concubine Wan Gui shook her head: "This concubine is your majesty's only favorite. It is your majesty who has treated the other sisters in the palace badly."
Because of these words, the emperor felt better.
"I can't say it's an exclusive favor right now. In the future, I will give you that exclusive favor that no one else can have."
He took a deep breath and said to himself: "It's almost here."
There are only a few people who understand the emperor best in the world, including Wanyu Tower, Gu Xiujin, Ning Weimo, and even Lu Gang, the commander of Yu Lingwei, can only count half of them.
But together, they couldn't understand the emperor's heart as well as Wan Guifei.
The emperor placed his hand on Concubine Wan Gui's hair and gently stroked the hair.
"I am lucky."
The emperor suddenly said this.
Concubine Wan Gui replied: "Your Majesty is lucky, but your luck is worse than that of my concubine, who is even luckier."
The emperor smiled and said: "Xiao Gu knows how to coax me, and I learned it from you."
Concubine Wan Gui said with a smile: "But it is my duty to make His Majesty happy. It is the duty of everyone in the harem."
She raised her head, her eyes sparkling: "I can make His Majesty happy, so I am the luckiest."
The Emperor said: "You are lucky, and I am lucky too. If you and your wife are lucky...there will be nothing you can't do."
He glanced out the window.
"His Majesty."
Outside the royal chariot, Gu Xiujin whispered: "There is news from Yangzicheng. General Lin Ye has led Yangzi officials to greet him."
The emperor hummed: "I know, add seats in the car."
After a while, the emperor added a few more words: "Add one more."
