The happy life of a prodigal

Estimating the time, His Majesty is probably reprimanding Fang Xiu at this moment.

Now he sent an imperial envoy to pass the decree, needless to say, he must be named Zuo Zhonglang General!

Thinking of this, Sun Teng got up excitedly, and after saluting, he said loudly: "General Sun Teng, the low-ranking Habayashi guard Youzhong Lang... has seen the imperial envoy."

The Bachelor Attendant just glanced at him, and said calmly, "Accept the order."

Sun Teng looked excited, knelt down on the ground, and saluted upright.

The bachelor attendant took out an imperial decree and began to read: "By heaven, the emperor, the imperial edict said: Sun Teng, general of Yulinwei Youzhonglang, has a vegetarian meal in his corpse. Let go of his right Zhonglang general and demote him to be a school lieutenant, this is my honor."

At first, Sun Teng was overjoyed, thinking about how to celebrate being the general of Zuo Zhonglang, and how to go further.

But as he listened, he gradually came back to his senses.

This... seems to be an imperial edict to convict!

When he heard the last sentence of being demoted to captain, his heart suddenly turned cold, and most of his alcohol was sober.

Raising his eyes, his eyes were confused, and he looked at the bachelor attendant, and asked subconsciously: "My lord, is this imperial decree...taken by mistake?"

When the Bachelor Attendant heard this, an angry look appeared on his face, he looked at Sun Teng, and said coldly: "Is there any reason for the imperial decree to be wrong? Are you doubting the official or His Majesty?"

As soon as these words came out, Sun Teng trembled in fright, hurriedly kowtowed heavily, and said in a trembling voice: "The lowly job has absolutely no such meaning."

The bachelor attendant just snorted coldly and said, "Lieutenant Sun, accept the order."

Sun Teng's face was ashen, and he took the imperial decree with both hands, as if he had lost his soul, he replied: "Yes..."

At this time, the captains in the camp finally came to their senses.

This envoy did not come to read out the canonization decree.

Quite the opposite...the decree is the decree of sin.

General Sun to whom they have always been loyal, General You Zhonglang of Habayashi Guard.

After this imperial decree, just like them, he was just a small captain.

However, despite this, they still respect Sun Teng on the surface.

After all, this General Sun...

No, he is Captain Sun now, and he still has a title on him.

Even if they were dismissed from the post of captain in the future, they would not be easily offended.

After the bachelor attendant read out the will, he turned around and left the camp, and returned to the palace to return to his orders.

Sun Teng was left behind, paralyzed on the ground as if he had lost his mind, his eyes were dull, and he didn't know what was going on in his head.

On the side, the school captains also looked melancholy, not knowing whether to step forward to comfort them or leave.

After an unknown amount of time, a school lieutenant got up, bowed to him, and said, "I have to train soldiers for a humble position, so I will retire first, general... Take care."

Someone took the lead, and the rest naturally got up and left.

After a while, only Sun Teng was left in the entire camp.

After an unknown amount of time, a bright light flashed in Sun Teng's sluggish eyes. This bright light changed from dark to bright, filling his body in a short time.

Standing up from the ground, looking at the imperial decree in his hand, he clenched his right fist tightly.

Sun Teng told himself silently.

This... is nothing but the difficulties and obstacles that must be experienced on the road to becoming a general.

As long as he pulls himself together and still has the title on his body, in the future, sooner or later, he will become the general of Habayashi Guard!

Thinking of this, he was no longer as dazed as he was when he first received the imperial edict.

Instead, he walked to the case silently, preparing to write a letter of guilt to express his repentance to His Majesty.

Can……

As soon as he picked up the pen, he was stunned again.

Because, he suddenly discovered that he didn't know what mistake he made until now, which angered His Majesty.

Is it...

After thinking for a while, an idea suddenly popped into his mind.

As soon as this idea appeared, he immediately denied it to himself.

Although, Fang Xiu is the only son of General Dingyuan, but he has no military merits, and at most he will be an earl in the future, and it is definitely not worthy of His Majesty to condemn himself because of him.

But... other than that, there seems to be no other reason.

Sun Teng felt that his mind was in a mess. After thinking for a long time, he couldn't think of a reason. In the end, he only sighed...

Today's incident is completely unreasonable!

............

Hall of Mental Cultivation, outside Nuan Pavilion.

Fang Xiu stood here for half a stick of incense.

The little eunuchs came in and out, clearing out a pile of teacup fragments, which shocked him.

Thinking in his heart, what mistake did he make that made Emperor Chu so furious.

But no matter how I thought about it, I couldn't think of it.

During this period of time, I just slept in the tent, occasionally wrote a book, and memorized the Four Books and Five Classics.

Neither committing crimes, nor stealing and playing tricks.

The only thing that might anger the Emperor Chu was the anonymous letter.

Did Emperor Chu recognize his own handwriting?

Fang Xiu seemed to think of something, and his heart suddenly went cold.

It's over, I forgot to change the handwriting.

At the beginning, when proofreading, what I used was the running script I practiced in college.

Now, that anonymous letter is written in the same running script.

But after thinking about it carefully, there are so many civil and military officials in Chu State.

Not to mention local officials, there are hundreds of civil and military officials above the court of the capital.

Everyone's handwriting is different, if Chu Huang can recognize his own handwriting among so many handwriting, it can only be said that his luck is really unlucky.

If this is the case, all I can say is, I admit it!

As time passed by, Fang Xiu's heart became more and more disturbed.

It was half a stick of incense time, Fang Xiu finally couldn't help it, grabbed a little eunuch, and asked in a low voice: "This father-in-law, do you know why His Majesty is angry?"

As he spoke, he took out a piece of silver and secretly stuffed it into the little eunuch's hand.

The little eunuch looked around and saw that there was no one around, so he stuffed the ingot of silver into his clothes without anyone noticing, put himself in Fang Xiu's ear, and whispered: "Your servant... also have no idea."

After all, he walked away quickly, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

When Fang Xiu heard that sentence, he was slightly taken aback, and then he immediately reacted and cursed secretly: "A dog-like thing dares to lie to my money.

One day I will meet you, and if I don't break your dog's legs, my surname will not be Fang! "

The anxiety in my heart has disappeared, replaced by anger.

This kind of thing is only done to others by Lao Tzu, and no one has ever done it to Lao Tzu.

Dare to cheat Lao Tzu's money, this bastard is too brave!

The more Fang Xiu thought about it, the angrier he became, and he almost couldn't help but rushed up to catch that bastard back and beat him up.

But, after all, this is the Hall of Mental Cultivation, where the emperor handles government affairs.

No matter how courageous Fang Xiu was, he did not dare to be so arrogant.

Moreover, there are so many eunuchs in the palace, and they all look similar, they all have white faces and no beards.

If it is not an acquaintance, it is impossible to recognize it at a glance.

The little eunuch obviously understood this truth, so he dared to snatch food from his mouth.

Chapter 80 Chief Minister of the Cabinet

Fang Xiu thinks that he has never been a person who must repay his flaws, but he will never suffer from being dumb when encountering such a thing.

Looking at the direction in which the little eunuch left, he silently recorded his figure and appearance in his heart, and only waited for one day in the future to clean him up properly.

At this time, all the little eunuchs in the warm pavilion had left.

Fang Xiu probed to see what was going on inside, but footsteps came from behind him.

Looking back, I saw a few old men with gray hair and vicissitudes of life walked into the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Seeing Fang Xiu, those old men were also slightly taken aback.

One of the old men who looked very burly asked, "Who are you?"

Before he came up to say hello, he asked the person's name. Is this old man still polite?

With a disdainful expression on Fang Xiu's face, he glanced at him and asked, "Who are you?"

The old man obviously didn't expect that the boy in front of him would answer him like this, and was stunned for a while.

After a while, he came back to his senses, with an angry look on his face, and said: "This old man is Ma Wenhua, Minister of the Ministry of War. Whose son are you, and you don't recognize this old man?"

Minister of War...

Fang Xiu finally understood why these old things, who looked so weak, would give him such a sense of oppression.

It turned out to be the heavenly official among the six departments.

Fang Xiu faced them, although he was not as cautious as facing the Emperor Chu, but he did not dare to be too arrogant.

He just replied: "My name is Fang Xiu, and I am General Habayashi Wei Zuo Zhonglang."

After finishing speaking, he just looked at him without speaking or saluting.

Habayashi Guard belongs to the Qinjun Mansion, and is under the command of Wu Xun. Although the military department among the six departments can be mobilized, they are not directly under the Shangguan.

However, general pro-military generals, even generals, would still salute when they saw the Minister of War.

However, no matter what you lose, you can't lose your momentum.

Now that the words just now have been spoken, it is useless to put on a low profile, so it is better to be more generous.

Fang Xiu originally thought that his attitude would make the minister of the Ministry of War in front of him furious.

Unexpectedly, instead of getting angry, he laughed twice, took two steps closer, and patted himself on the shoulder.

Said in a mid-spirited voice: "My boy, you can still be so indifferent when you see this old man, this courage, this courage, just like your father!"

Fang Xiu was startled for a moment, and immediately realized.

My cheap father has led troops to fight everywhere since he was young, and most of the martial arts of similar age are his brothers who died together.

Although the Minister of the Ministry of War in front of him is not a martial artist, he should have fought in battle. Presumably, he had some communication with his father.

The other elders were expressionless.

One of them glanced at Fang Xiu, and said to Ma Wenhua, "Mr. Ma, state affairs are important."

Ma Wenhua originally wanted to say something to Fang Xiu, but when he heard this, he just smiled awkwardly, and replied: "What Yan Gong said is true."

The old man nodded slightly, and took the lead into the Nuan Pavilion.

The rest of the elders, including Ma Wenhua, followed him and walked into the Nuan Pavilion one after another.

Seeing this scene, Fang Xiu was a little surprised, but then, he immediately reacted.

Being able to walk in front of the Ministry of War Minister, and everyone feels that it should be taken for granted...

The old man who spoke just now must be the head of all the officials of the Chu State - the chief minister of the cabinet!

The Chief Assistant of the Cabinet, the Minister of the Ministry of War, and those old men who don't know their identities, but they can be known to have extraordinary bearing...

Today... what big event is going to happen?
