Chapter 1263

In Shuntian Prefecture, the capital,

Inside the imperial palace, in the Fengtian Hall,

The officials looked at Zhang Cheng in his elegant civil and military robes and could not help but exclaim in admiration.

Because this child truly met all the annotations in books for a "Confucian General"; sword-like eyebrows, star-like eyes, handsome and extraordinary...

But looking at Zhang Cheng, Wang Ziteng to the side was gloomy.

Because this Korean campaign had actually allowed this thieving kid to make contributions again, and he was even promoted to a Second Rank Earl!

One must know, he, Wang Ziteng, had fought bitterly in Liaodong for ten years without such battle achievements, but he had only fought a few battles and was almost climbing over his head; how could this be allowed?

Thinking of this, Wang Ziteng could not help but glance at the person in the distance and nodded at him.

Sitting above, Emperor Hongde's mood was very good, because he had seen his "trusted beloved general" and had enjoyed the "dignity" of being an Emperor at the Desheng Gate!

Standing among the military nobility, Zhang Cheng nodded to the people in front and behind him.

Looking at Zhang Cheng, many people also smiled and nodded.

Because not to mention that Zhang Cheng was surnamed Jia and naturally belonged to their camp, even for the "business" in Liaodong, they had to support the other party!

It was said that Liaodong was bitterly cold, but if it weren't for this group of people guarding the frontier, could the people of the world be at peace?

As for eating empty military pay, that was a last resort; after all, if you don't take it, I don't take it, how can the adults take it?

Now it was good; empty military pay could be directly canceled, because once the maritime trade business in Liaodong started, those few dozen taels of silver would not be looked upon by them at all!

As for whether the merchants of Jiangnan would come to cause trouble because of this, the military nobility could only say one thing: my sword has not yet been tested!

"Is Feng Tang here!"

Speaking loudly, Xia Shouzhong walked out holding the imperial decree.

"This subject is here!"

Stepping forward, Feng Tang bowed, his face already unable to suppress his smile.

"General who Guards the State, Feng Tang, guarding Liaodong in the north, expelling Japanese pirates, making contributions to Great Qian, is hereby enfeoffed as Second Rank Deputy Commissioner of the Capital Battalion, promoted to Third Rank Marquis, Loyalty and Righteousness, rewarded with one thousand taels of gold, five hundred bolts of silk..."

"This subject thanks His Majesty for his great grace!"

Thanking Emperor Hongde, Feng Tang returned with a smile after receiving the decree.

"Is Jia Jue here!"

Continuing to take out another imperial decree, Xia Shouzhong smiled.

Because he had already received Zhang Cheng's gift; this person was "one of our own"!

"This subject Jia Jue is here!"

Pulling open his long robe and walking out, Zhang Cheng bowed with a smile.

"Liaodong Pacification Commissioner, Recruitment Commissioner, Jia Jue, attacking the Jurchen in the north, pacifying the Japanese pirates in the south, making contributions to Great Qian, is hereby enfeoffed as Fourth Rank Capital Battalion Command Assistant, in charge of the Shenshu Camp. Promoted to Second Rank Earl, Loyalty and Bravery. Rewarded with five hundred taels of gold, two hundred bolts of silk..."

"Fourth Rank Capital Battalion Command Assistant? And in charge of the Shenshu Camp?"

Thinking of the structure of the capital battalion, Zhang Cheng could not help but frown.

Because the three major camps were the Five Armies Camp, the Divine Machine Camp, and the Shenshu Camp!

And the Five Armies Camp was not just five camps; it was a collective term, containing nearly eight camps of soldiers, 200,000 people!

The Divine Machine Camp was a special unit in charge of firearms and military affairs.

The predecessor of the Shenshu Camp was the Three Thousand Camp, which was the cavalry recruited from the Uriankhai; however, it gradually withered later, and after reorganization, it became the Shenshu Camp.

The reason the Jia family could make Wang Ziteng the Capital Battalion Commander was because the former Dukes of Rong and Ning possessed great prestige in the capital battalion!

That was why Wang Ziteng could become the Capital Battalion Commander, but the current three major camps did not really buy Wang Ziteng's account!

Otherwise, Wang Ziteng would not have been unable to control the capital battalion!

Emperor Hongde letting him take charge of the Shenshu Camp had some bad intentions!

However, Zhang Cheng did not resent the other party; after all, if the Shenshu Camp was in his hands, it would be a great thing for him!

"This subject thanks His Majesty for his great grace!"

Stepping forward to receive the decree, Zhang Cheng's eyes were full of smiles.

But just at this moment, a person to the side walked forward and shouted: "Your Majesty, this subject has a memorial to submit. The Earl of Loyalty and Martial Arts, Jia Jue, wantonly slaughtered prisoners in Korea; this is an ominous sign and inauspicious for the country!"

"Huh?" Turning his head, Zhang Cheng looked at the person who walked out, his face showing astonishment.

Because were these words something that could be said in front of everyone?

Looking at the censor with a gloomy face, Emperor Hongde was also stunned by his sudden move.

Because this was not pointing at his nose and scolding him, but slapping him in the face at zero frames!

"You thieving commoner! My two thousand men on the Korean battlefield didn't kill Japanese pirates, should we have kept them to rebel?"

Just when Emperor Hongde had not yet thought about how to reprimand him, Zhang Cheng had already started spraying.

"You? What did you just call me? You actually insulted me like this!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng angrily, the censor was also dumbfounded by being called a "thieving commoner."

"Not only am I scolding you, I am also going to beat you!"

Looking at the censor before him, Zhang Cheng rushed up and kicked him with an Ultraman flying kick.

Staring at Zhang Cheng in shock, not only was Emperor Hongde dumbfounded, but even the civil officials and military nobility to the side were stunned.

Because was this something a Fourth Rank official could do? They were in court, and he started fighting!

"Your Majesty, this subject requests to punish Jia Jue for the crime of losing decorum before the palace; he simply has no respect for the monarch and father, and kicked a censor in court..."

Watching his mouthpiece kicked out by Zhang Cheng, life or death unknown, Wang Ziteng was stunned; was there such an operation?

As the Great Qian, which inherited the Ming Dynasty, the officials were somewhat shocked, but they reacted; because they seemed to have inherited this traditional skill!

After all, in the court, besides being able to fight free-style wrestling, they could also bring people to ambush in advance after court...

"Your Majesty, this subject requests to behead Wang Ziteng!"

And just after Wang Ziteng spoke, Zhang Cheng hurriedly bowed and spoke.

Staring at Zhang Cheng in shock, the civil and military officials were dumbfounded, because Wang Ziteng only wanted to punish him, but Zhang Cheng wanted his life!

"All of you shut up!"

"Angrily" patting the dragon chair, Emperor Hongde's words directly silenced the court.

Looking at Emperor Hongde in silence, everyone's faces showed confusion.

"Jia Jue, why did you kick Censor Liu!"

Speaking to Zhang Cheng, Emperor Hongde covered his face.

Because he hadn't seen officials fighting free-style wrestling in court for a long time, but Zhang Cheng had just arrived on his first day and started moving his hands; it was truly outrageous!

"Your Majesty, he slandered me! You all saw it, he slandered me!"

Pointing at Censor Liu, who had been kicked unconscious by him, Zhang Cheng spoke with an innocent face.

And looking at Zhang Cheng, Emperor Hongde was speechless.

"Your Majesty, if we didn't kill the Japanese pirates in Korea, it would be truly difficult for us; after all, there were only 20,000 of us..."

Speaking to Emperor Hongde, Feng Tang walked out and spoke.

Hearing Feng Tang's words, Emperor Hongde said seriously: "Jia Jue lost decorum before the palace; his salary is fined for half a year."

Just as Emperor Hongde finished speaking, the civil officials were dumbfounded; was it this light?

But before Emperor Hongde finished speaking, Zhang Cheng shouted: "Your Majesty, this subject requests to behead Wang Ziteng; this person harbors evil intentions and attempts to rebel..."

"Hmm?"

Staring at Zhang Cheng in shock, the civil and military officials gasped after hearing this; you are trying to kill Wang Ziteng to death, right?

After hearing Zhang Cheng's words, Wang Ziteng broke into a cold sweat and immediately knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, this subject is wronged, this subject is wronged!"

"Enough, all of you go down!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng and Wang Ziteng with annoyance, Emperor Hongde was helpless.

Because this kid was really catching Wang Ziteng and beating him to death; did he not know whether Wang Ziteng had the ability to rebel?

Glancing at Wang Ziteng, Zhang Cheng squinted his eyes, because he somewhat regretted not killing him in Liaodong!
