Chapter 142

That pair of. Pet. Disgrace not surprised appearance let the people present some admire, but in the eyes of Princess De, it became a thick show off, promotion is great? No matter how high-ranking officials are not military men, their status is always under the civil servants.

"Your Majesty, I have a sentence. I don't know whether to say it or not?" Just as the emperor was about to leave, Princess de stood in front of him.

"Oh, Princess Ai has something to say, just say it!"

Princess de seemed to hesitate awkwardly for a while, and then said, "General Xu made a great contribution to platinum state once, and should be rewarded. However, the rule of platinum is that the promotion to level 3 or above must last for three years. General Xu can jump Level 3 in a contest. Maybe... "

After the words, the German imperial concubine did not say.

After listening to her, the officials who were still envious of Xu Mu immediately found a breakthrough. If they could pull General Xu down, maybe they would have a balance in their hearts.

But General Xu is now in the prime of his life. He doesn't deal with him in this way. He is so good at martial arts. If he offends him now, what should he do against him in the future?

There are two kinds of people who have different ideas. One of the last people to come forward is Yu Zhengqing, the imperial historian. He has always been a person who speaks by his mouth. He also has a very high position in the Chinese official system of the court.

"Your Majesty, I think what the empress de Fei said is reasonable. In the management of platinum country, officials must serve three years in a row. General Xu has three years to become a three-level general. It's not that I'm selfish, but that it's not in line with the tradition and it's against the rules. I hope you'll think twice and take back your life!"

The censor doctor was the first to speak, and the next people had no scruples. Anyway, it was not them who took the lead. In case General Xu would settle the accounts later, they would not be the first one. Moreover, at that time, the censor doctor, who was covered by him, would be OK.

"I will reconsider."

"What you said is reasonable. I hope your majesty will think twice."

All of a sudden, five or six people knelt down.

The emperor hesitated. When he was happy just now, he just forgot about it. The clan rules were really troublesome. He was promoted to the third level. Besides being happy, he was also a part of improving the status of the general. Think about the people in the court. There are only three civil servants of the first grade, but the highest is Xu Mu's fourth grade. In this way, no matter in rank or status, they are obviously in a weak position.

He only promoted him to the third level with the idea of training military generals, because if he wanted to balance civil and military affairs, he had to promote military generals. However, military generals did not make contributions and could not be promoted casually. Xu Mu just gave him an opportunity. The emperor wanted to come one by one and promote Xu Mu first.

But who knows, this group of pedantic literati, and take the rules to say things, what does it matter whether it is reasonable or not? The emperor wanted to blow people out willfully, but as the emperor, sometimes things can't be done according to his wishes, otherwise it will leave criticism. The pen of those historians is sometimes the biggest weapon.

He doesn't want to have a very bad reputation in history.

When the emperor was wandering among the civil servants and his own ideas, someone finally spoke again.

"Your Majesty, Sheng Ming, I think that General Xu's promotion to the third level is well deserved. If there is no general Xu here today, then you should think about what kind of joke we will encounter in platinum. Can't you look up in front of those barbarians in Xishu? This is a major event about the national dignity of our platinum country, and about the reputation of our platinum country. The impact is not small. It is because of General Xu that we have the result of defeating each other bravely. It's natural to have rules, but it also depends on the size of the matter. Can't we make an exception for such a great contribution? "

He is a civil servant of the second class. He is a maverick leader in the court. He never joins a party and belongs to a neutral person. However, because he was born into a scholarly family and has a powerful clan, he is a hundred year old family, so no one dares to provoke him.

How can people who always praise or criticize people speak for a military general instead? Don't you know that if the military general's status is improved, there will be no place for them as civil servants?

Many civil servants were puzzled.

Mr. Yu immediately refuted, "Mr. Zhou, what do you mean? Now that you want to speak for General Xu, I'm surprised. I've always heard that Mr. Zhou advocated the friendship between gentlemen as light as water. Now, are you going to be polluted by the so-called mud? Have you forgotten your status as a scholar? General Xu has made a contribution, but it's just that his martial arts skills are a little better, so he has a martial arts contest. In less than half an hour, he can easily be promoted to level 3. While others can only be promoted to level 1 after many years. Isn't that too chilling for others? There is no square without rules. This is an unchangeable truth, and it is also the instruction of our ancestors. "

"Well, since you look down on people who practice martial arts, you should say that if there was no general Xu, then you should fight in person. At that time, what was the result? I believe all of you here are very far sighted people. You can think about it carefully."When the imperial censor wanted to argue, he was interrupted by the emperor, "don't say anything. I'll never change my words. Although it's not right to be promoted to the third level in a row, as Zhou Aiqing said, there are priorities. General Xu has made great contributions. You don't have to fight any more. "

Originally, he was in a good mood, but he was broken by this group of people. What's the dispute? Isn't he an official? Where do so many opinions come from?

"Your Majesty, I still think..."

"Enough, censor. Do you think there is something wrong with my decision?" Emperor Yin measured the earth and opened his mouth.

"I dare not." The old censor fell on his knees.

There was a complete silence.

The emperor snorted and left.

As the crowd dispersed, Xu Mu came to the man who had just helped to speak, "thank you for your kind words."

"General Xu, you're welcome. Zhou is just talking about the matter. General Xu's all-round martial arts really make Zhou and other scholars feel ashamed. The platinum country just needs people like General Xu to defend the country. General Xu will lead the three armies and become the pillar of the platinum country. That's the best thanks to Zhou. "

Mr. Zhou was smiling. His eyes were easy-going and calm. He was selfless and a gentleman.

Xu Mu a shock, arched his hand to make a promise, "Mr. Zhou please rest assured that Xu Mu will do his best to protect the border of platinum."

"In this way, Zhou replaced the millions of people in platinum country to thank General Xu for his great righteousness."

The two chatted for a while until Mr. Zhou arrived at the gate of the palace.

Xu Mu just returned to the residence of the hall of love. In a short time, the official seal of general zhengsanpin was delivered to him.

He opened the red silk cloth with the seal layer by layer. Thinking of the battle he had just experienced, Xu Mu was very sorry. Almost, the official seal couldn't reach him.

can't help thinking of Her Highness just now.

where she went just now, he never even found her. He worked very hard and hard today because he knew that his royal highness was watching and watching him on the stand, so he exerted all his strength and tried to knock the man down in the quickest time.

, at the same time, it was also to vent her anger: at the dinner party, the man dared to look at her royal highness with such blasphemous eyes. In his mind, the princess was once a little star playing with him. Now he is a good and beautiful fairy princess. How can he let the people in the West see this?

At that moment, he wanted to give the man a hard beating. It's better to let his eyes never see again! It's unforgivable! If it wasn't for the sake of the emissary, he would have killed that man!

only, after he knocked down the man, he could never find the shadow of his royal highness. Xu Mu's body suddenly collapsed and sat down beside the bed.

The heavy official seal seems to have lost its value.

was happy to get this official seal because his royal highness once said, "only when you stand taller can you do what you most want to do."

Before, he didn't know what he wanted to do most, but now he had a picture in his mind, which was her smiling face.

If you can make her smile happily, Xu Mu is fascinated by the official seal. If she stands higher, she will do more for her. In this way, will she smile more?

, while Xu Mu was thinking of the smiling face of his royal highness, under the same roof, he was listening to the little maid's report leisurely and carefree.

"It seems that thanks to Mr. Zhou this time! Not enough, he is also a civil servant. How can he speak for General Xu? And the old censor, Lord Yu, how could he be so pedantic and obnoxious? "

Gu Qingxin calmly relieved some people's doubts, "the name of the princess is Yu Xin, the eldest daughter of the censor. As for Mr. Zhou, there is a reason. "

"Aunt Jing, please go out to Luofu and tell your cousin that the Li Xiangqin you got a few days ago will be sent to Lord Zhou's house."

"Yes."

Seeing aunt Jing go out, Acacia and red bean slowly understand the reason.
