In the imperial study room, after a moment of silence, Li Shimin finally said: "Female Luo Zhang as the deputy capital guard of the Zuowu Guards, and I will take care of him when he returns home!"
Hearing Li Shimin's words, Luo Zhang was so happy that he almost laughed out loud. The happiness came so suddenly. He really didn't expect such an unexpected gain from participating in the morning meeting today.
Zuo Wuwei, deputy capital guard, although he was only a fifth-grade official, he still had a military position. He could also wear armor and a cloak to show off.
You must know how envious he was when he saw those soldiers in armor when he first came to Chang'an City. Now, he has become one of them. If it weren't for the imperial study room, Luo Zhang would be able to Jump three feet high and shout loudly.
All the veterans glanced at Li Jing one after another. It was only then that they realized what Luo Zhang and Li Jing were high-fiving outside. They had been doing this for a long time, but they had to admire Luo Zhang. To say this, Not everyone can do it, not even Changsun Wuji has this ability.
You must know that Luo Zhang was made the deputy capital guard of Zuowu Guard, which meant that he had a military position, but he also had a civilian position. This was a civil and military colleague. Although it had happened before, it was not in the Tang Dynasty. When it was established, it is different now. His Majesty's words will inevitably be reported collectively by the civil servants.
However, those civil servants were afraid that they could not change His Majesty's decision even if they presented the memorial collectively, so they said Luo Zhang was very powerful.
Li Shimin didn't finish his words. After making Luo Zhang the deputy capital guard of Zuowuwei, he spoke again: "If a war breaks out in the north, Luo Zhang can join the army, but he cannot go out with the army. Li Jing, do you understand?"
This was said to Li Jing, and the meaning is self-evident, that is, I can leave this kid to you, but you must protect him. It is absolutely not allowed to go into battle to kill the enemy. If something goes wrong with Luo Zhang, I Just ask you.
Li Jing was stunned. He did not expect that His Majesty would say such a thing. Who can ensure that everything will be fine when he goes into battle to kill the enemy? But His Majesty said so, just to ensure the safety of his Paul Zhang. This had to surprise Li Jing. He was still the first The first time he heard His Majesty give him such a decree, he glanced at Luo Zhang and thought to himself, this is the Holy Family.
The other generals were not fools either. They figured out the strangeness in his words as soon as they thought about it. They all looked at Luo Zhang in surprise and exclaimed that Luo Zhang was really lucky to have such a favor from His Majesty. This was the reason for all of them. It’s something that everyone dreams of, but I didn’t expect it to happen to a young man.
The happiest person here is Qin Qiong. As Luo Zhang's uncle, he is happy from the bottom of his heart. With His Majesty's favor, who dares to do anything bad to Luo Zhang? Even if Changsun Wuji wants to deal with Luo Zhang, he has to think carefully. Can you bear His Majesty's wrath?
When the news came out that Luo Zhang was awarded the title of Deputy Governor of Zuowu Guard, all the courtiers were in an uproar. Civil servants wrote memorials one after another to report to His Majesty, asking him to withdraw his order. The military attachés did not respond at all, feeling that Luo Zhang It was natural for him to be granted the title, and he even felt that Luo Zhang's official position was too small and that the subtitle should be removed.
However, although the civil servants' memorials were submitted, they just fell into the sea without any response. It seemed that His Majesty turned a deaf ear to their memorials. At this time, the civil servants were shocked and ran to find Wei Zheng one after another, asking him to follow him. Your Majesty theorizes, this will not work.
But Wei Zheng surprised them even more. He blocked them back with just one sentence. Who told you that civil and military forces cannot walk together? This has happened since ancient times.
Just such a sentence was circulated among the civil servants. Unexpectedly, Wei Zheng, who had always been rigid and unreasonable, would actually say such words. The civil servants felt that the whole world had changed in one day. They felt that the whole world had changed. I feel a little at a loss and feel very hesitant. It was obvious that this kind of thing could not happen before, but now it has happened, and it happened with confidence, but no one wants to change it.
In the end, all the civil servants were silent collectively, and no one said a word about Luo Zhang, as if they acquiesced in Luo Zhang's civil and military cooperation.
As the person responsible for the incident, Luo Zhang didn't feel the slightest bit uneasy about it. He went home like a normal person, put on his general uniform, and showed off in front of Mei Niang.
However, after grandma learned about this, she frowned and sighed. She really didn't want Luo Zhang to have a military position, let alone go to the battlefield. He knew what it was like better than anyone else. He really didn't want Luo Zhang to have a destiny or wealth. In heaven, it is very difficult to survive, and it is even more difficult to gain a good future, which must be fought for with one's life.
Luo Zhang naturally knew what his grandma was thinking, so after showing it off, he kept comforting her and told her exactly what His Majesty said to Li Jing.
After hearing what Luo Zhang said, grandma felt relieved. As long as she didn't go into battle to kill the enemy, it would be much safer to go out with the army and make plans. And with Li Jing protecting her grandson, it would be much safer.
After comforting grandma, Luo Zhang was also sweating. When communicating with the elderly, you have to patiently explain to her. Otherwise, the only problem will be the crutches. When the time comes, grandma will try her best to prevent him from going to the battlefield. What will happen to his previous efforts? Not in vain.
The days passed day by day. Apart from going to court every day, Luo Zhang would spend time in the dockyard department, studying ship building with a group of old guys.
In fact, it is not difficult for Luo Zhang to build a sea-going ship. The difficulty lies in technology. This is ancient times and this is the Tang Dynasty. Many technologies are immature. It is really difficult to build according to his expectations. Fortunately, the craftsmen here have a very good research spirit. You just need to tell him how to do it, and he will figure it out on his own according to what you said, and he will always give you some unexpected surprises.
However, this made the shipbuilding process very slow and could not reach the speed he had previously envisioned. Of course, Luo Zhang also told His Majesty about this matter. Fortunately, His Majesty did not place too many restrictions on when Luo Zhang would be finished. As long as Luo Zhang is careful.
On this day, Luo Zhang was brainwashing his Yanyun Eighteen Cavalry at home when he saw Haizi, a servant outside the martial arts hall, running in in a hurry to report: "Master, Eunuch Huang is here and is waiting for you in the hall! "
Luo Zhang was stunned for a moment, and then he realized what was going on. The sled he had drawn should have been completed and verified, and now he was approached to discuss it.
Eunuch Huang must be looking for him because of His Majesty. Naturally, Luo Zhang did not dare to neglect him. After asking his uncle to continue giving them oysters to improve their strength today, Luo Zhang went to see Eunuch Huang.
"Eunuch Huang's arrival is not far away. I wonder if Eunuch Huang is here today. Does your Majesty have anything to tell me?" Luo Zhang saluted with a smile. Although he had already guessed in his heart, he couldn't let it go after all. Etiquette, you should be polite when you should be polite.
"Hurry up and change your clothes. His Majesty wants you to go to the palace." Eunuch Huang also smiled at Luo Zhang.
"Eunuch Huang, can you tell me what's going on?" Luo Zhang asked.
"All the generals are in the royal study room, what do you think is going on?" Huang Eunuch said as soon as he finished, Luo Zhang was not a fool. He thought to himself that it was exactly what he thought. He didn't dare to delay, and hurried back to the house to ask Mei Niang to help. Luo Zhang changed his official uniform, but he didn't dare to wear it. This time, Luo Zhang no longer wore the official uniform of a civilian official, but changed to that of a military attache. Luo Zhang still felt that the official uniform of a military attache was more fashionable, not as popular as the official uniform of a civilian official. It's too wide and very uncomfortable to wear.
When Luo Zhang arrived at the royal study room of the palace, he saw a group of senior generals and His Majesty watching something in the open space of the imperial garden outside the imperial study room.
Luo Zhang walked in and took a look, my dear, this is the sled he drew, but this sled is made of wrought iron, which is much more durable than hardwood.
Seeing Luo Zhang coming, everyone called him over. Luo Zhang stepped forward and stood with everyone. Only then did he realize that the sled was piled with goods. Looking at the traces on the ground after the sled passed, the goods should be very heavy. .
The front was pulled by two horses, and under the control of the guards, the speed was not slow.
Perhaps the sled met his expectations, and even Li Jing, who was serious about everything, showed a happy smile.
You must know that this sled can not only be used in the northern battlefield, but it can also be used to attack Gaoguli. It is much more convenient and faster than a horse-drawn cart, and it can pull a lot of goods and is faster. , can this not make Li Jing happy?
Not only Li Jing, but also Li Shimin also had a faint smile on his face.
Now, no one said that Luo Zhang's stuff was unreliable, and no one didn't believe Luo Zhang. The facts were right in front of them, and they couldn't help but believe it!
