NCCnovel Chapter 304: Marquisship
Chapter 304: Marquisship
"Someone! Tell Grand Tutor Cai, Eunuch Zhang, and General Feng to come to the palace to see the emperor!"
"I... want to see them!"
"quick!"
After Emperor Dajing calmed down, he hurriedly gave orders to the young eunuch!
But just as the young eunuch was about to go out, he saw three people at the door.
"Your Excellencies..."
"No need to say, we already know!" Eunuch Zhang nodded to the young eunuch, then walked into the imperial study with the other two!
"Your humble servant greets your majesty!"
After the three of them entered the imperial study, they saluted Emperor Dajing together!
"Get down quickly!"
When Emperor Dajing saw the three people, he hurriedly asked them to stand up.
"My three dear ministers, you should have heard what happened just now!"
"This time, we, Dajing, won a great victory!"
Emperor Dajing said this with excitement.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty!"
Eunuch Zhang and the other two spoke in unison.
However, the three of them looked unhappy at this moment.
"Come, come, my three beloved ministers, take a close look at this battle report and see how I should reward these soldiers!"
"This time, we in Dajing have enough Marquises, right?!"
When Eunuch Zhang and the other two heard what Emperor Dajing said, their faces turned even uglier.
Especially General Feng!
His concerns are the same as General Luo’s!
General Luo has only four adopted sons left now, and one of them has already been made a marquis!
If the credit for this achievement was given to Luo Yun and Luo Shaohe, that would be four marquises in one family!
wrong!
Even General Luo could become a duke because of this! (This book follows the Ming Dynasty marquis system)
This... this tall tree attracts the wind!
General Luo wouldn't be unaware of this, right?
If this situation really happens, then... General Luo will have no need to live, right?
As for the state of the Dajing court...
……
But just when General Feng was worried, Eunuch Zhang and Cai Jing, who were reading the report, couldn't help but exclaimed!
"This... Jiang Chen? Zhang Feng?"
Hearing these two names, General Feng was slightly startled.
He knew both Jiang Chen and Zhang Feng that Jiang Chen was a miracle doctor.
Zhang Feng is the adopted son of Eunuch Zhang.
However, how did Jiang Chen appear on the 800-mile express?
Even if Jiang Chen cured Marquis Jian'an, it wouldn't be like this! ?
He subconsciously walked over to read the report, but when he saw the content of the report, he was shocked!
"this……!?"
Zhang Feng, and Jiang Chen each captured a city!
Luo Yun and Luo Shaohe only have the credit of capturing the prairie princess!
This this……
"Your Majesty, according to this report, the first meritorious service in this battle should go to General Luo, followed by Zhang Feng and Jiang Chen, and then Luo Yun, Luo Shaohe, and even Jiang Yun!"
"Based on this achievement, Zhang Feng and Jiang Chen can be granted the title of Marquis!"
"As for General Luo, he can even be promoted to Duke!"
"This is the first duke since His Majesty ascended the throne!"
Cai Jing spoke to Emperor Dajing with excitement.
But when General Feng heard this, his face changed drastically!
Duke?
Now in Dajing, there is no duke who holds military power!
It would be disastrous if General Luo became a duke!
"Your Majesty, General Luo said in his report that he has done his best for Dajing, and that is what he should do. As for the promotion to Duke, that is absolutely not allowed!" General Feng hurriedly advised.
But Cai Jing strongly advocated it!
This world is so strange, sometimes the person who gives you a high position and a generous salary may not necessarily be helping you!
Instead...it will harm you!
……
The two discussed for a long time in the imperial study, but in the end Emperor Dajing let the three leave.
He planned to discuss this matter during the court meeting.
However, after Eunuch Zhang and the other two left, they all had different expressions.
Eunuch Zhang still maintained his calm look.
However, Cai Jing and General Feng looked at each other, and their gazes were full of coldness!
After Eunuch Zhang returned to his house, he went to the study and began to ponder.
Jiang Chen and Zhang Feng, both are going to be granted the title of Marquis! ?
Now, his two adopted sons were going to be granted the title of marquis.
This seems to be a good thing though.
But how did Jiang Chen... become a general?
Isn't he a carpenter?
How did he become a miracle doctor, and then... a general?
Why is this village chief from a small mountain village a little confused now?
Just then, a servant knocked on the study door.
"Bang bang bang."
"Sir, the Eighth Young Master has sent back a letter."
"Zhang Feng!?"
When Eunuch Zhang heard this, he hurriedly got up to get the letter!
If other people saw Eunuch Zhang like this, they would be shocked!
After all, Eunuch Zhang has always been calm and composed.
And now...
After receiving the letter, Eunuch Zhang read it hurriedly.
But after seeing the content of the letter, Eunuch Zhang became even more confused.
Because Zhang Feng listened to Jiang Chen and spoke well of him.
But Zhang Feng's compliments seemed a bit too much!
Zhang Feng told Eunuch Zhang everything about Jiang Chen making the catapult, stirrups, and horseshoes!
……
"Jiang Chen, what kind of person are you..."
"Why, you know all these things..."
"Are you really, just a carpenter?"
Eunuch Zhang's snow-white, beardless face was full of doubts.
At this moment, a loud noise came from the door of Eunuch Zhang's room!
"Godfather! Is my brother really going to be made a marquis?"
"Father!"
A voice full of surprise came.
Eunuch Zhang turned around and saw a woman wearing black leather armor and a fiery red cloak rushing in!
This person was none other than Eunuch Zhang’s only adopted daughter, Zhang Ningshuang.
"Ningshuang, you are a girl, how can you be so impatient and shout so loudly? How can you be so indecent!"
When Eunuch Zhang saw the person coming, he started scolding with a cold face.
If anyone else saw Eunuch Zhang like this, they would be so scared that they would kneel on the ground and beg for mercy.
But this frost is not like that.
She ran to Eunuch Zhang, hugged his arm, and said coquettishly: "Foster father, please tell Ning Shuang, will my dear brother also be made a marquis?"
"Is he going to surpass the Marquis of Jian'an?"
"I also have a brother who is a marquis. From now on... I will also follow my brother to the battlefield to kill the enemy!"
"You!"
When Eunuch Zhang saw Zhang Ningshuang like this, he looked helpless.
Eunuch Zhang had no idea what to do with this adopted daughter.
"Your brother is going to be made a marquis, but... you can't do anything reckless. As a girl, you should learn needlework and study hard. In the future, your adoptive father will find you a good husband. I..."
"So it's true! That's great!"
Zhang Ningshuang left with an excited look on her face before Eunuch Zhang finished speaking.
Eunuch Zhang looked at Zhang Ningshuang's leaving back and felt helpless.
However, Zhang Ningshuang now knows about this matter.
It seems that this news should have spread throughout the capital!
It should be Cai Jing who took action! ?
Haha, in that case, then he... doesn’t mind adding fuel to the fire!
