Just like Shen Hao was respectful when he came to Jingxi to command the Yamen, Jiang Cheng was equally cautious every time he went to command the Yamen.
Moreover, Jiang Cheng did not have the same privileges as Shen Hao in the command yamen. He had to wait in the waiter with his number plate. It's just that they will be given priority than ordinary people.
After waiting for almost half an hour, an official from a hundred households came over and asked him to follow him, saying that Master Pang had summoned him.
It's been the second day since the imperial list was announced, and Jiang Cheng had already figured it out in his mind. The reason he came here today was to help his protégé find out about Pang Ban's tone.
After all, in Jiang Cheng's view, his disciple was just unlucky enough to be involved in the whirlpool where the emperor was beating up Xuanqing Guards. He was a fish in the troubled pool. If he was hated by Pang Ban for this reason, and then affected His career after that would be really unfair.
"What? Are you here to help your disciple find a way?"
As soon as he opened his mouth, Pang Ban revealed Jiang Cheng's purpose. In addition to the recent attack on Shen Hao in the Jingxi Town Governor's Yamen, is there anything else that requires Jiang Cheng to come to him early in the morning? For official matters, just write down a note. Face-to-face matters are usually either urgent or inconvenient to write down on a note.
Yesterday, the National War Edition reward came down, and Xuan Qingwei's Edition reward was naturally sent to Pang Ban. But this procedure made Pang Ban understand that things were not simple. When he saw Shen Hao's share of the reward in the reward, he was even more surprised. After thinking for a moment, his face seemed to be smiling but not smiling.
Like Jiang Cheng, Pang Ban quickly understood the twists and turns in this reward.
Although the emperor is young and has only been on the throne for a short time, none of the emperors of the Yang family are economical, and their hearts are not what ordinary people can predict, whether it is the city or the dangers. Moreover, the bloody killings on the way to the emperor's ascension to the throne also showed that he had a vicious vision and decisive actions.
With one glance, he found out a talent that Pang Ban had been cultivating over the past few years.
This person is Shen Hao.
One aspect that Pang Ban valued was Shen Hao's cultivation potential. He was already at the third level of the Yuan Dan realm in his early thirties. As long as nothing unexpected happened in the future, it was absolutely possible to step into the Xuanhai realm at the age of sixty. By that time, whether his worldliness, his heart for the city, or his tactics and tactics, he would have reached the pinnacle of perfection, and it would be perfect to step up and take over his position as commander of the Xuanqing Guard.
On the other hand, what Pang Ban values is Shen Hao's "brain", which is too lively! He had been at the top of the Jing Dynasty for decades. He was not used to seeing wind, frost, snow and rain, but he was at least well-informed. However, he had only seen a talent like Shen Hao who could burst out with so many fantastic ideas. To such a one.
This is undoubtedly an extremely eye-catching discovery for Pang Ban, who has always felt that Xuanqingwei is a backwater and is actively seeking change. He instinctively believes that this guy named Shen Hao can help him complete the internal structure and development of Xuanqingwei. Changes in functions. In fact, according to his observations so far, Shen Hao did not disappoint him.
Black Flag Camp, which others could not play or even played to death, was revitalized in Shen Hao's hands and grew stronger. Not only did it fully realize the original intention of Black Flag Camp when it was established, it also achieved it. There are many details that Pang Ban has ignored.
It is precisely based on the above reasons that Pang Ban has been training Shen Hao as his successor.
After the National War, Shen Hao would be promoted if he gained merit, and the situation would no longer be turbulent. Then it would be Pang Ban's turn to officially implement the nationwide integration of the Black Flag Battalion.
But this sign was not hidden well by many people, including the emperor.
According to the news sent back by the three guards who were placed next to Shen Hao. Shen Hao had had several contacts with the emperor before he ascended the throne. They even secretly helped each other during the "Royal Examination". The two of them have some connections.
Therefore, not only did he take a fancy to Shen Hao, who was entrusted with an important task by Pang Ban in the Xuanqing Guard and was trained as a successor, but he also probably had a good impression of Shen Hao and wanted to use Shen Hao as a way to control Xuanqing. An opportunity for the Qing Dynasty.
In the final analysis, this is the emperor's desire for control, and it may also be a test of Pang Ban.
In other words, the emperor sent an obvious signal of provocation to Pang Ban, even a provocation that ignored the rules and did not give face. It can be regarded as deliberately irritating Pang Ban. The emperor's subsequent actions will depend on Pang Ban's reaction.
Jiang Cheng didn't have any bad intentions. He nodded directly and said respectfully: "Your Excellency, this subordinate is here for this matter. Now Shen Hao has been forced into a rank of fourth rank by His Majesty, but this matter is serious. Hao had no prior knowledge at all. Besides, it will also be related to your plan to integrate the national black flag camp. You see..."
Before Jiang Cheng could finish his words, he was interrupted by Pang Ban waving his hand. Then Pang Ban glanced at Jiang Cheng with interest and said with a smile: "Are you worried that I will hate Shen Hao because of His Majesty's interference in Xuan Qingwei's internal affairs?"
"My subordinates dare not."
"Hmph." Pang Ban snorted coldly. The smile on his face remained unchanged, but it always gave people a cold feeling. He continued: "Your Majesty's temperament is different from that of the late emperor. Because of his early experiences, he lacked the confidence to be an emperor. But he is accustomed to fierce temptations. Only those who are determined to be harmless or can be used by him after being tested by him can continue to sit in their current positions and hold power for a long time in the future or even be promoted.
And we, the Xuanqing Guards, are His Majesty's personal soldiers, and this has been true throughout the ages. So it's just a little temptation from His Majesty. How do you think I should react? Could it be that he really just wanted to fight back like this? "
Waving his hand to stop Jiang Cheng from speaking, Pang Ban continued: "Since you are here, Shen Hao must be feeling uneasy. You can go back and tell him that it is not his turn to worry about these upper-level matters, nor is it his turn to worry about them. He needs you as a teacher to help him worry about it. Let him handle the things he is doing honestly and at the same time think clearly about what he has said to him before.
After all, one land and one city is just a small piece of sky. What he will soon have to face is the entire Jingjiu Dynasty.
Let him broaden his horizons and be more stable. "
Jiang Cheng bowed politely after hearing this, and no more words were needed. Pang Ban has made it very clear. It's really too much to think like this.
When Jiang Cheng said goodbye and left, Pang Ban put away the smile on his face. It's not about this edition reward, but about the emperor's attitude towards Shen Hao.
There seems to be a meaning of "helping Shen Hao nail it", as if he is afraid that Shen Hao will miss the promotion this time, rather than simply using Shen Hao to beat Xuan Qingwei. Only Pang Ban noticed this, but he didn't understand the emperor's intention.
"It seems that His Majesty has other plans for the boy named Shen..."
