Zhang Wuming softly begged: "Isn't this just to be on the safe side? General, you should work hard again tonight."
"Bullshit!"
Zhang Yongwu was furious, staring at a pair of red eyes, and yelled at Zhang Wuming: "You are not done yet, do you want to torture me to death? I listened to your words, turned back twice, and didn't sleep for two days and two nights. , I am exhausted day and night, and my body bones are about to fall apart. Now when I close my eyes, I will die."
"I'm half-dead because of my menstruation, and you want me to stay up all night? Zhang Wuming, are you deliberately trying to burn me to death?"
Zhang Wuming's expression was sarcastic: "General, I am also doing this for your own good..."
"It's okay if you don't want this kind of benefit."
Zhang Yongwu waved his hands impatiently: "Mr. Nameless, don't talk anymore. I have turned back twice in a row, and Yan Qi didn't get angry. It seems that we are worrying too much. I will definitely not come back tonight."
"I want to concentrate on military training in Junshan and wait for the emperor's military parade! Hmm, can I compete with Leng Wanshan? Let's do it here!"
"But, General..."
"Don't bother me!"
Zhang Yongwu was really fed up with Zhang Wuming's torture, so he got on his horse and rushed to Junshan immediately.
"Hey, General..."
Zhang Wuming shook his head helplessly: "General, if you don't listen to me, I'm afraid..."
…
The second day.
Baohe Hall!
The Eight Wise Kings called Yang Ke and said with some pride: "The emperor gave General Zhang a yellow mantle. It seems that he thinks highly of General Zhang."
Yang Kepi smiled but said: "I really want to congratulate General Zhang."
The Eight Wise Kings said: "The Emperor is leaving for the military parade at Junshan tomorrow. I am also going to support General Zhang. Prime Minister Yang, you should also go with me to support General Zhang."
Yang Ke thought to himself: Going to Junshan for a military parade tomorrow?
What good things are you thinking about?
Yang Ke remained silent.
The Eighth Sage King patted Yang Ke on the shoulder and said sincerely: "Prime Minister Yang, you and General Zhang are my right-hand men, so please don't get into trouble."
Yang Ke said: "My loyalty to the prince can be seen day by day, and I will remain consistent with General Zhang."
The Eighth Sage King smiled slightly: "With your words, I feel relieved. Oh, in the morning court, I will fight for the title of earl for General Zhang. You need to cooperate a lot."
Fight for General Zhang to be awarded an earl?
When Yang Ke heard this, he became even more angry.
Why should I help Zhang Yongwu become an earl?
I am not yet a count myself.
Yang Ke's mouth
Promise: "Don't worry, Eight Wise Kings, I will definitely give you a helping hand."
The Eight Sages nodded: "Prime Minister Yang, this time you stand up for General Zhang. Next time, I will suggest to the emperor that you be awarded an earl, and I will also ask General Zhang to stand up for you. Only by helping each other can you succeed. event."
Yang Ke nodded repeatedly: "What the Eight Wise Kings said is absolutely true."
But my heart was unhappy.
The Eight Wise Kings put it nicely!
Will you fight for me to be awarded an earl next time?
Why next time?
Isn't it possible this time?
Yang Ke said a few perfunctory words, then bowed out with a sullen expression.
…
Yan Qi smiled and looked at Yang Ke: "I heard that the Eight Wise Kings are trying to win the title of earl for General Zhang."
Yang Ke frowned: "You also know?"
Yan Qidao: "Yes, this matter is not a secret. It has been spread. Hey, Prime Minister, the Eight Wise Kings are so kind to General Zhang. I remember, you haven't been knighted yet, right?"
Yang Ke is so angry.
Isn't this a slap in the face?
Yan Qi continued to stimulate him: "But it doesn't matter. Everything has its own sequence. After the Eight Wise Kings knighted General Zhang, it will be the Prime Minister's turn. Prime Minister, please be patient."
How could Yang Ke remain calm?
Almost suffocated.
Yan Qi added: "If Zhang Yongwu wants to be knighted, the Eight Wise Kings will definitely need the strong support of Prime Minister Yang. This is called a red flower, but it needs green leaves to support him."
Holy shit!
Yang Ke's body trembled from the stimulation of these words.
Am I a green leaf?
Zhang Yongwu is a red flower?
There is no reason for this.
Yang Ke was furious.
Damn you, Zhang Yongwu, you still want to be knighted?
Go ahead and have your spring and autumn dreams.
Do you still want me to support you?
If I don't tear the stage to pieces for you, I'll be sorry for you.
…
Court meeting!
Eunuch Deping screamed: "If you have the foundation to start a memorial, you have no foundation to retreat from the court."
The Eight Wise Kings came out and said: "My brother has his roots!"
The old emperor was still waiting for Yan Qi to step forward and write the memorial. Unexpectedly, the Eighth Sage King stood up first and asked patiently, "What do you want to do, brother?"
The Eight Sages said: "Your Majesty, General Zhang Yongwu has made great contributions to the country. Now, he is training troops in person. His contribution and hard work are touching the world. My brother thinks that he should be greatly rewarded."
"Of course, Zhang Yongwu is already a first-class military officer, and there are no rewards. My younger brother suggested that Zhang Yongwu be made an earl to encourage him to better share the worries of the emperor and the country."
old emperor
When I heard this, I felt annoyed.
Damn it.
You ungrateful animal.
Push your nose and face.
The Eight Wise Kings were very clear about their calculations.
Now, the old emperor thinks highly of Zhang Yongwu.
It is time to work hard and take advantage of the good momentum to increase Zhang Yongwu's power.
Zhang Yongwu followed him around.
The higher his status, the more secure his power.
The Eight Wise Kings winked at the lackeys again.
"I second the proposal!"
"I second the proposal!"
"I second the proposal!"
…
A lot of civil servants and generals knelt down.
The old emperor was very angry.
However, it cannot be shown.
The Eight Wise Kings were very proud to see everyone express their attitude. If Yang Ke, a heavyweight, expressed his attitude, the final decision would definitely be made.
The Eight Sage King winked at Yang Ke.
"Prime Minister Yang, you are the head of the civil service, and you confer the title of earl to General Zhang. What do you think?"
Yang Ke was furious.
What else do you think?
I can't bear it very much.
Just now, when he was in the Palace of Preservation and Harmony, Yang Ke was so angry that he almost vomited due to Yan Qi's inflammatory words.
If you seize the opportunity at this time, how can you let Zhang Yongwu go?
Yang Ke came out: "The advice of the Eight Wise Kings is very good. General Zhang is indeed loyal to the country. He has both merit and hard work, but..."
"Um?"
The Eight Wise Kings listened very well, but they didn't expect Yang Ke to add the word 'but' after it.
This one, however, has a different meaning.
"Prime Minister Yang..."
The Eight Wise Kings looked at Yang Ke, his eyes full of vigilance.
Yang Ke didn't even look at the Eight Wise Kings. He was full of anger and said directly: "Your Majesty, General Zhang has indeed worked hard and made great achievements. It goes without saying that he will be rewarded as an earl. However, there are some difficult things at the moment. Please deal with it before doing anything. Make up your mind."
"Yanke!"
The Eight Wise Kings were anxious and didn’t understand why Yang Ke was so disobedient.
What on earth is he going to do?
The old emperor asked: "What does Prime Minister Yang have to say?"
Yang Ke looked distressed and said: "Your Majesty, I am checking the accounts, but I discovered that five amounts of military expenditures allocated by the Ministry of Household Affairs to the Military Department, totaling 300,000 taels of silver, have disappeared."
"What?"
As soon as this statement came out, the officials were shocked.
The Eight Wise Kings were completely confused: "Yang Ke, what are you doing?"
