Glory to the ancestors

Li Yun looked down at the crowd from top to bottom, raised his chin slightly, his angle was very similar to Li Huan, "Mr. Rong."

"Yes," Rong Zhen came out and bowed to Li Yun.

"You have meritorious escort, are you satisfied with the reward I gave you?"

"I'm ashamed." Rong Zhen lowered his head, "I just did what I was supposed to do."

It could be seen that Li Yun was quite satisfied with his answer, and smiled, "Since you have almost recovered from your injuries, and it's time to do your part for the court, you can take the minister of the Ministry of War if you are in need."

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the court whispered.

The shortage of Ministers of the Ministry of War is not uncommon. Regardless of the military status of the four armies in the country, compared to the four first-rank generals, they have always been recommended by the Ministry of War to be promoted step by step. This is why Su Tang's voice has always been very high.

In peacetime, the importance of the Ministry of War is not seen, but in wartime, the Ministry of War is the head of the six ministries, with full authority to allocate all resources of the country.

Now that Liang Guo is invading, and the southern border is surrounded by soldiers, Li Yun appointed Rong Zhen for this position, which shows that he has the highest trust in Rong Zhen.

Could Duke Rong be lucky again?

The courtiers who had been estranged from Rong Zhen in recent days sweated silently in their hearts, and only hoped that Rong Zhen would not care about it after he took office.

Rong Zhen looked up at Li Yun, and didn't believe that he could completely ignore Xu Chu's words, but since such a big official title fell on him, wouldn't it be a refutation of the emperor's face if he didn't accept it.

He knelt down, shouted long live three times, and thanked Li Yun.

Li Yun smiled, "It's not just my intention, the queen mother also thinks that you have spent too much time in Rongguo Mansion, and wants to find some work for you."

I was just kidding myself, Rong Zhen didn't remember such a harmonious relationship between their monarchs and ministers.

Li Xiao looked at it coldly, it would be a good thing for Rong Zhen to become Minister of the Ministry of War, if Rong Zhen really stood by his side.

if not……

Just as he was thinking, Li Yun called him to the front.

"Uncle has been in Beijing for a while, so he must miss his family."

Is this going to let me go back to the south?

Li Xiao's eyes lit up, he knelt down and looked at Li Yun.

"I've specially allowed Princess Pingnan to come to Beijing to visit her uncle at any time, so as to prevent you from feeling lonely."

Li Xiao gritted his teeth and agreed, he should have thought that the little emperor didn't have such a good heart.

Rong really gloated at Li Xiao, waiting for Li Xiao to thank him.

The corners of Li Xiao's mouth curled up, but there was no joy in his eyes.

Li Yun couldn't see it, but he wasn't stupid enough to let the tiger go back to the mountain. What was rare was that the Queen Mother actually supported his decision. Li Yun looked at the Queen Mother behind the bead curtain, pursed his lips, and went on to talk about other things.

After the court, Rong Zhen and Su Tang went to the Yamen of the Ministry of War.

The Ministry of War has a strict hierarchy, except for Su Tang, Rong Zhen has no informants in it, and it is inevitable that he will be noticed along the way.

At first, I thought that the little emperor had given me a fat job, but I didn't expect it to be so simple.

Standing in front of the lobby of the Ministry of War, Rong Zhen saw that there were three rows in front of him, from the assistant minister to the secretary.

He picked up the big seal of the Ministry of War, "From today onwards, I am ordered by the emperor to take up the post of Secretary of the Ministry of War. I hope that my colleagues can help me more."

As soon as the words fell, the officials all knelt down, and Chao Rong really kowtowed.

The ceremony was simple, but getting along afterward was difficult.

Rong Zhen licked his lips, looking at the official documents piled high on his desk, feeling a little embarrassed.

He originally thought that the accounting books of the Ministry of Finance were the most boring and uninteresting in the world, but he didn't expect that there was such a military department outside the Ministry of Finance.

If the garrisons were not thousands of miles away, he really wanted to bring those supervising soldiers to him one by one, and ask them what stupid things they wrote.

Do officers and soldiers have to report such things as not being able to eat vegetables? What do the local states and counties eat?

"Grandpa, have you seen this?" Su Tang walked in and bowed to Rongzhen.

Rong Zhen raised his eyes to look at him, picked up a memorial, "Do you usually leave these things to me?"

Su Tang narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Grandpa is wise, how could such a small matter be handled by you personally, it's just that the subordinates are trying to find some work for you."

Rong Zhen snorted, "I knew it," he said again, "Corruption in the Ministry of War has long existed, but their method of covering it up is really naive."

"It's childish, but practical."

Seeing Su Tang gloating so much, Rong Zhen knew that his naughty personality must be very popular in the Ministry of War, and he was secretly a little unhappy, so he threw the memorial in front of him, "You do it, I'm going back to the mansion."

"Grandfather?"

"Why, you are the Minister of the Ministry of War, and it is only natural to help me share the burden."

"Can……"

Rong Zhen looked at Su Tang, "Don't forget, who did you entrust your current status to?"

Su Tang was helpless, "I know."

Rong Zhen stood up, walked to Su Tang from his seat, and patted Su Tang on the shoulder, "Just sit here and do it."

Su Tang was taken aback, and arched his hands, "I dare not overstep."

"It was originally your seat, I just borrowed it for a few days." Rong Zhen smiled, but what he said hit Su Tang's heart.

Seeing Rong Zhen walking away, Su Tang bit his lower lip, walked slowly to the position of Minister of the Ministry of War, and sat down.

His hands trembled slightly, and finally he held the pen firmly, opened the memorial, and corrected it word by word.

Rong Zhen sat in the sedan chair, opened the small curtain of the window, the sky was already dark, and he thought of the time he was in the household department again.

Su Tang is no better than Xiong Qun. Xiong Qun is a talent with real ambitions. He only wants his work to be recognized.

And Su Tang is a person who needs power to catalyze him. The higher the power, the more motivated he will be.

Although such a person looks sinister, he is actually more innocent.

They don't care about other people's evaluation, only the interests in their hands are the most real thing.

Rong Zhen closed his eyes slightly, and after thinking about it, he also wanted to be such a person.

The sedan chair stopped firmly, and the bearer said, "My lord, Yingxue Tower is here."

Rong Zhen was taken aback, he was used to it, every time he went directly to Chuxi from Yamen, but now...

He always thinks that everything remains the same, but many things are changing silently, whether it is the people around him or himself.

He took a long breath, "Forget it, let's go back home."

The bearer came down again, a little confused, and could only sigh inwardly that the master was not easy to serve.
