Leng's father also lost his chin. He only knew that his son was in the palace to protect the prince just now. He didn't know what to do. Because it involves military secrets, Leng Jun never spoke and didn't ask.
Even his father didn't know what the son did. He was a man who didn't keep his mouth shut. He knew that he had to boast all over the sky, but he didn't know at all. He couldn't boast if he wanted to.
Now I know that his son's official is very big. He knows that the colonel in the Chinese army is actually very big. You say a colonel, commanding a regiment and a senior official with thousands of people.
But his son never brought back bodyguards and entourages, nor did he have a plaque of honor or a gong to open the way, nor did he say how many soldiers he was in charge of, nor did he greedy for a lot of money and earn a lot of silver like others. He was very powerful in front of people and behind people.
Father pan thought that his son was just an errand. He looked at the door and ran errands. As for the rank of Colonel, it should be an empty title and get a salary.
If you know the seven grade officials of the prime minister's domestic slaves and the emperor's domestic slaves, you have to have four grade officials, right? The fourth grade corresponds to the colonel.
So he didn't think much. Until now, the emperor ordered him to be the governor of the nine gates. Only then did he realize that it was a big deal. It was not a small official.
Lengjun, after all, is a person who has seen a big scene. After listening to and reading the edict, he immediately shouted, "Lengjun, take the edict! Long live the emperor."
When the eunuch saw that he had received the order, he said happily, "lengtidu! Congratulations."
Lengjun said, "no! Thank you, father-in-law."
Father Leng is a smart and flexible man. When the eunuch came to announce the decree, he talked to Lengjun and looked around with his eyes. He remembered the things in the play. He immediately ran to Lengjun's room, took out all the silver under his bed and stuffed some into the eunuch's hands.
In the whole world, eunuchs from ancient to modern times do not love money, and everyone knows that it is actually a good or bad job to preach among these nobles.
The eunuch said polite words. In fact, he was waiting for the silver reward. Like a small cold wood, he didn't mean anything. Instead, his father was flexible. He took the silver out and stuffed it into their hands, which made them smile. He repeatedly said, "thank you, thank you."
Father Leng said, "my father-in-law, it's hard for you to come to preach. I've put down wine and food here. Let's have a few drinks together?"
The eunuch said, "we have to go back to the palace to give orders, so we won't drink the wine. There's plenty of time to drink another day, and we hope to get a lot of care from the cold governor." then he walked away with a smile.
After these eunuchs left, Leng Jun pulled a face and said, "Dad, can you be kind? Don't you know that this is silver. Did I work hard to save it to marry my daughter-in-law? I gave it to others. Why do I marry my daughter-in-law?"
Father Leng was annoyed. He said, "I've just been promoted and began to teach me a lesson. Do you understand human sophistication? Do you know that people come all the way to read out the Edict and always give me a pair of shoes? If you don't give this little thing, others will say you're stingy and others will say you're arrogant."
Lengjun was used to being scolded by his father. Once he opened his mouth, he habitually suppressed his arrogance, but he still felt the boss's heartache. His father gave him such a reward and took out at least hundreds of liang of silver, which was his military salary saved for more than a year. In this way, he spilled it. If he wanted to spend money and marry his daughter-in-law, where would he get money?
Although Lengjun was in an important position, he had no other income. He only had a salary, which was also used for the expenses of his family. He was not very well-off. Instead, many people stuffed silver and gifts into him, but he didn't accept anything and didn't dare to take anything.
In the past, someone forced him to give gifts and silver. Leng Jun didn't say a word. He directly sent these gifts and silver to the bodyguard's office to register and give them to the prince. However, after it was spread, no one dared to give gifts to him again. He lived a poor life, but he was very happy. You know, today's life is more than ten times better than before, He is also very satisfied and dare not stretch out his hand.
Father Leng was still disapproving when he saw Lengjun. He said, "this is the first time for a big girl to go to the sedan chair. It's a rare honor. Do you expect such a scene often? This should be a hammer deal. There will be no such thing in the future. We must take out our face and don't let others laugh at our poverty."
Coldly and painfully said, "more than one hundred liang of silver, salary for more than a year. From tomorrow, the expenditure at home will be cut by half. You can only eat three dishes at most, and you can't eat more."
Don't mention it. Lengjun got his father's support and said, "you're a sensible boy. You know how to run a family and save money."
Father Leng took down the edict, looked over and over, and said: "This is the emperor's edict. We have to pack it in a box and worship it at home day and night without any damage. Otherwise, it will be disrespectful to the emperor, and then it will be used as the heirloom of the old Leng family. Future generations know that you have also received the emperor's edict. What a great honor? It's really a honor to honor your family! Dog son, what are you doing this time A beautiful thing happened. The ancestral tombs of our old cold family are smoking. "
Coldly and bitterly smiled and said, "our old Leng family's ancestral grave is smoking. Please engrave the tomb of lenggouzi, the nine door governor, on my tombstone in the future. Who lost it?"
Lengjun now said that, Leng's father paid more attention. You know, his son is a person around the emperor. The emperor knows that if he barks at the dog, it seems a little disgraceful and sounds disgraceful. He said, "then you say, what should I call you in the future? Can you let me call you general Leng and lieutenant Leng and kneel down to salute you?"
Lengjun said, "I'm sure I can't kneel down and salute. I'll be struck by thunder, but you can call me a son or a boy or a big man. If the dog barks, if it is passed to his men, others won't laugh to death“
Lengjun talked about his subordinates. He was really worried that his name would be passed on to his subordinates. It was really dignified and swept away. In fact, the old man suddenly remembered one thing. He said, "when you become this lieutenant general, there are nine sect supervisors. How many people do your subordinates manage?"
In fact, Lengjun doesn't know how many people there are in the nine gate governor's house. He only knows that there are as many as four divisions.
In the army of the Ming Dynasty, it is very normal to eat empty pay. It is very good to have more than two or three hundred troops in a thousand households, and five or six hundred old and weak.
The Chinese army is different. As many people as there are in a division, they will never eat empty pay. If they are short, they will be compensated immediately. If they can't be compensated, they will suspend the troops from performing official duties. All the troops are full, and there is no empty sound. They are only divided into class A and class B. in this way, there are at least tens of thousands of people in his nine prefectures.
But he was not sure himself. He could only estimate from the most conservative. He said, "since he guarded the nine gates, it would cost tens of thousands at least?"
This startled old man Leng. Then he remembered. He asked, "what's the difference between the twelve regiment camp and the twelve guards in Daming?"
Lengjun thought for a moment, and he said, "it doesn't seem to make any difference. It's all the work of defending the capital, under the leadership and command of the emperor."
Father Leng was surprised. He said, "you official, don't talk about the three grades?"
Dad didn't know about the rank of the Chinese army. He didn't know what rank it was, how much power it was, and how many people it was. But if it was from the Ming Dynasty, he knew something. After all, this set has been handed down for hundreds of years and has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Many people know a little about it.
Lengjun used to be only responsible for the defense of his east palace and defending the crown prince. He really didn't know much about other things. Besides, the nine door prefect yamen is new. It's hard for him to say, but he knows it should be the governor level. He said: "it should be from the second grade or the second grade. In fact, it doesn't matter what you do and how many soldiers you bring."
His explanation made dad happy and dancing. He said, "this time, the ancestral grave of Lao Leng's house is smoking. Tomorrow I have to kill chickens and worship God. Thank the gods for their blessing. Later, bless me, big brother. You will rise step by step."
Lengjun breathed a sigh of relief. The biggest advantage of this thing is that his father finally stopped barking. His father stopped barking, and others wouldn't dare to bark. If someone called, he must be slapped in the face.
Seeing his father dancing with the imperial edict, he quickly said, "be careful of the imperial edict, be careful of the imperial edict. If it is damaged, it will be a great crime to copy the family and destroy the family."
Dad, he was surprised, stopped his crazy action, took the imperial edict carefully, then came out with a box and packed it carefully. You know, don't say it's them, that is, after the Imperial Palace ministers received the imperial edict, they should take care to keep it properly, so as to prevent any omission. If there is any damage, they will be punished by the imperial censor 。
Just as their father and son had just put the edict, a large number of soldiers and horses came outside the door. The number of the other party was up to hundreds. Everyone rode and dressed in armor. They were all powerful knights. The other party said loudly: "the imperial first-class bodyguard and governor of the nine generals, are you at home?"
This is Lengjun's current title.
Lengjun heard that the other party reported his name and thought it was some official business. He quickly picked up his knife and went out, saying loudly, "I am Lengjun. The general came. I don't know what's the matter?"
