I don’t know if it was because he had suppressed his resentment towards Yueying Tower for too long. Emperor Shu issued an edict against Xuan Qing the day after he received the report from the Black Flag Battalion through the commander of the Xuan Qing Guards on the results of the suppression campaign. The Black Flag Camp of Wei will award the award, and it is scheduled to come to the Black Flag Camp Commander's Yamen in Fengri City to present the reward in person three days later.
The meaning of the emperor coming to personally deliver the reward is quite different. It means that the recipient's merit is not just in the merit book, but also enters the heart of the emperor.
Jane in the emperor's heart, these four words may not sound difficult, but in fact there are countless officials in the world, and there are only a few people who can actually do it even once.
Let’s not talk about the future prospects, but let’s talk about the current situation. As long as the four words “Your Majesty awards” are on your resume, it will be difficult to be suppressed by people in the future based on qualifications or appearance. In other words, if a child from a poor family sticks to these four words, he will be placed on a high stool and will no longer be a dwarf; if a child of an honorable family sticks to these four words, his future will be opened up, and he will be at least one to two levels later. There will be no more obstacles within.
Of course, having the words "Your Majesty awards you" does not mean that you will be promoted immediately. It just means that the upward path is opened and you will not be tripped up by others, but it still depends on whether your abilities behind you are sufficient. OK.
As soon as this news came out, the temple, which had been in a state of turmoil and chaos for more than half a year, poured oil on it, and with a bang, the attention of countless people was drawn to the Black Flag Camp. The next step was to find out the reason why the emperor came to present the award in person this time.
The result... Yueying Tower! No wonder then.
There is no airtight wall in the temple. If you don't want others to know, you can hide your humiliation honestly and keep it secret. Whenever someone becomes famous, these big men in the temple will always find a way to find out the specific situation quickly.
Speaking of Yueying Tower, who in the temple knows about it? Even if you are not a monk, you have heard of this large organization that was once the most outstanding among private intelligence dealers.
Yueying Tower really became famous during the second half of the last royal examination. First, it was revealed that he belonged to the Seventh Prince, and then he turned against him and almost killed the Seventh Prince with a single blow. And it is self-evident what the Seventh Prince, the current Emperor Shu, thinks about the Moon Shadow Tower.
But everyone had to sigh in their hearts: That man named Shen was really quite capable. He had dug up all the Yueying Tower that had been missing for so long.
At the same time, I secretly became much more prepared for the Black Flag Camp. Who doesn’t have any secrets? I used to think that I hid them well and didn’t worry, no one could find out. But now it seems that the emperor has a vicious dog in his hands. If it pounces on him, no one will be able to escape.
Many people also cursed secretly.
One Pang Ban had already made everyone feel uncomfortable, and now there was Shen Hao, who was only a fourth-rank official but had immense power. No matter where in the world, they could find reasons for their intervention.
Xuanqingwei, Xuanqingwei. After all, this is a big stone that weighs on the heads of all officials.
In the past, if the emperor's private army such as Xuanqingwei performed meritorious service, the reward would be judged by the officials in the temple. If they said the reward was too much, no matter whether it would be reduced in the end, they would just have to waffle for a while, feel disgusted or maybe It's a delay. You think the Yanguan officials are looking for trouble, but the Yanguan officials themselves know that they are just using the topic to demonstrate the prestige and existence of the civil service group.
But it's different now. Sitting in the left-hand position is Cao Guobang. This person slipped over from the right prime minister, and because of Lu Liang's incident later, he seemed to have secured this position. Many people are joining in to join the team. But it’s just Cao Guobang, and now Bai Changqing appears. It is said that even the emperor was hesitant about these two people.
With such turmoil, it can be said that the civil service group is leaderless and people's hearts are uncertain. Facing the vicious dog-like Black Flag Camp, the officials also remembered the principle of "keeping a low profile and seeking stability". They pretended not to know anything and were not upset when the news spread. They just made a few mild criticisms in private.
Speaking of Cao Guobang and Bai Changqing, two of the most popular figures in recent times, this time the emperor issued an edict to visit the Black Flag Camp Commander's Office to hand out awards in person. However, although the Black Flag Camp Commander's Office is from the fourth rank, it is Not in the Imperial City, but in Fengli City, if the emperor wanted to go there, even if he was far away, a series of rules and arrangements would still take at least three days no matter how simple they were. Moreover, there should have been a large number of accompanying officials.
Even counting this, the emperor's trip to Fengli City in three days will be his first official inspection of the place since he ascended the throne, and it will also be his first time leaving the boundaries of the imperial city.
This is also an important reason why all the eyes in the temple are focused on this matter. Because according to tradition, the emperor will bring his most favored ministers with him on his first tour after ascending the throne. So everyone is curious whether the emperor will take Bai Changqing or Cao Guobang this time.
What's more, some people think that who the emperor will lead this time will directly affect the pattern and direction of the temple behind him.
But when the people below were busy with the emperor's first tour for three days, the emperor once again disappointed everyone who expected to get some of his ideas.
Emperor Shu unexpectedly took no one with him on this tour except the necessary guards and imperial guards! Even Pang Ban, the commander of the Xuanqing Guard who was supposed to accompany them, was excluded. Not to mention Bai Changqing and Cao Guobang, the emperor didn't even mention them.
What does it mean? When did such a meaningful act as the emperor's first patrol suddenly become weird and sloppy? this......
No one knew what the emperor was thinking. The first patrol was given to a place like Black Flag Camp, not to mention not even a favorite. It's simply incomprehensible.
However, Shen Hao, who was in the middle of the incident, had no intention of caring about the emperor's intentions behind this tour, because he was too busy these days. On the one hand, he needed to sort out the rhetoric he had prepared repeatedly, and on the other hand, he had to follow the leader of the imperial army who came to visit the place in advance to check all the places the emperor was going to visit dozens of times. So much so that he stayed in the Yamen for the past few days and didn't even return home.
Early in the morning when the emperor arrived, Shen Hao was waiting outside the teleportation circle in Fengri City. His subordinates, from the deputy commander to the commander-in-chief, were all here. It could be said that this was the most complete gathering of command levels since the establishment of the Black Flag Battalion. It is a rare occasion for the emperor to come here and not be allowed to meet the people below? Get some light?
As for the defense here, Shen Hao's people can only stay on the outermost perimeter. 80% of the defense is completed by the forbidden army. Others who can't intervene are not qualified.
At the right time, the teleportation circle that had been blocked for nearly two hours began to move, and Shen Hao and others tidied up their clothes for the last time. Knowing that the emperor is coming.
