Chapter 346: Plant Zhang!

~8 min read 1,485 words

The capital a month later, the sun was bright.

In front of the magnificent Forbidden City, Zhang Cheng was standing before the Meridian Gate.

Looking at Zhang Cheng beside him, Jia Jingzhong smiled lightly, "What, your first time here?"

"Yes, first time!"

Swallowing his saliva, Zhang Cheng felt shocked by all this.

Because the identity of a tourist and his current identity were different!

"Do you know how many years it took Zhang Haiduan to walk from here to the Hall of Supreme Harmony?"

Looking at Zhang Cheng beside him, Jia Jingzhong smiled.

"Thirty years! From a youth to knowing the mandate of heaven, he finally reached the Emperor!"

Glancing at Zhang Cheng, Jia Jingzhong said, "You are much luckier than him!"

"Because I have always been the Emperor's man!"

Speaking to Jia Jingzhong before him, Zhang Cheng smiled.

"Let's go, Battalion Commander Zhang, no, it should be Assistant Commander Zhang now!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng, Jia Jingzhong smiled.

Because since the battle at Yanmen Pass, Zhang Cheng had become famous for 'persuading' Prince Qing to surrender.

And upon learning that Zhang Cheng actually dared to lead a hundred cavalry to charge directly into Prince Qing's mansion, Jiajing was also very curious about this small Embroidered Uniform Guard.

However, upon learning that Zhang Cheng was actually a 'Black Stone' person, Jiajing became even more interested.

Because this was simply a natural 'one of our own'!

Therefore, after the battle, Zhang Cheng was promoted to Assistant Commander and was now going to have an audience with the Emperor!

Following behind Jia Jingzhong, Zhang Cheng kept a distance of half a step, listening to the rules he spoke along the way, not daring to be distracted at all.

For those who travel through time and enter and exit the palace, Zhang Cheng could only say they ate 'fine rice' very well.

Because in a real feudal dynasty, the imperial palace was equivalent to a restricted area; no matter what you did here, someone would see it.

Five steps a post, ten steps a sentry, you really think it's a joke?

Why do civil officials have the saying of 'impropriety before the Emperor'? That's because this crime belongs to a pocket, and can contain anything!

West Garden, Renshou Palace!

Waiting outside the door, Zhang Cheng actually saw his own boss, Cao Feng, the Wheel King!

However, at this moment, the Wheel King was just a little eunuch guarding the door.

Seeing him staring at himself, Zhang Cheng also hurriedly lowered his head.

Because he seemed to have seen his own boss's embarrassing state; what should he do, kill him, or kill him?

"Proclaim, Assistant Commander Zhang Cheng to have an audience!"

"Proclaim Zhang Cheng to have an audience..."

As the voices were passed on, Zhang Cheng entered Renshou Palace led by a little eunuch.

"You are that Zhang Cheng who led a hundred cavalry? Raise your head and let me see!"

Sitting on a meditation cushion, wearing a plain Taoist robe and a green crown on his head, Jiajing spoke.

"Subject, Zhang Cheng, greets the Emperor!"

Cupping his hands and bowing, Zhang Cheng slowly raised his head.

And upon seeing Zhang Cheng's appearance, Jiajing rested his chin on his hand and said, "Hmm, very young, go down!"

Waving his hand indifferently, Jiajing spoke lightly.

"Subject withdraws!"

Slowly retreating, Zhang Cheng only turned and left after crossing the threshold.

Looking at Jiajing, Jia Jingzhong said, "Your Majesty, how is this person?"

"Not bad, reward him with an immortal pill!"

Speaking with a face full of smiles, Jiajing squinted his eyes.

Because Zhang Cheng's age meant he couldn't be promoted any further; he had to leave some talent for the successor monarch.

Hearing Jiajing's words, Jia Jingzhong also hurriedly said, "This slave understands, Your Majesty!"

Coming out of the Forbidden City, Zhang Cheng looked back, feeling as if he had just had a dream.

Because at this moment, he had finally found the ambition to climb higher!

Wearing the Fourth Rank military official's Qilin robe, Zhang Cheng straightened his clothes and walked forward.

And at the same time, a man with a beard passed by Zhang Cheng.

The moment their eyes met, they both nodded, as if destined.

Turning around, Zhang Cheng smiled and said, "Zhang Juzheng?"

"Zhang Xinzhi?"

Thinking about the Fourth Rank military official he had just seen, who was also an Embroidered Uniform Guard, Zhang Juzheng also smiled. Because he hadn't expected that in the Embroidered Uniform Guard, someone could be promoted faster than himself!

Returning to the imperial-bestowed mansion,

Zhang Cheng looked at the small bridge and flowing water in the front yard, as well as the rockery, and couldn't help but click his tongue, "Truly not bad!"

"Yo, you're back? Plant Zhang? This outfit is quite handsome! Qilin, huh!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng, Ding Xiu circled around him like he was looking at a monkey.

Looking at Ding Xiu, who was covered in bandages, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but say, "That's enough, it's been a month, are you still pretending to be injured?"

"Silver!"

Stretching out his hand, Ding Xiu looked at Zhang Cheng seriously.

"What silver? Do I owe you money? Stop joking, this official is a Fourth Rank high official!"

Looking at Ding Xiu imposingly, Zhang Cheng lifted his long robe and sat on the armchair beside him.

Looking at Zhang Cheng, Ding Xiu squinted his eyes and said, "Fine Rain, Fine Rain, let me tell you, back then when I went to the brothel to listen to music with this bastard, he actually..."

"I'll give, I'll give, keep your voice down!"

Angrily covering Ding Xiu's mouth, Zhang Cheng became anxious.

And in the next second, Ding Xiu took Zhang Cheng's silver and said, "No, this is only ten taels? You..."

"Going to the brothel to listen to music tonight, you can bring your junior brother!"

Glaring at Ding Xiu, Zhang Cheng said fiercely.

"That's more like it!"

Hearing there was a benefit, and he could bring his junior brother, Ding Xiu smiled.

"Who is going to the brothel to listen to music?"

Coming out from behind, Fine Rain was now wearing a long dress, holding a saber and speaking.

"Nothing, nothing, we were talking about playing the erhu!"

Putting his arm around Ding Xiu's shoulder, Zhang Cheng said, "Am I right, Ding Xiu!"

"Yes, playing the erhu!"

Looking at Fine Rain with a face full of smiles, Ding Xiu turned his head and said, "This woman, very fierce!"

"I know, but I like it!"

Rubbing his chin, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

Looking at Zhang Cheng with suspicion, Ding Xiu said with disdain, "Let's go, let's go find my junior brother!"

"Why do you two look so sneaky?"

Coming to Zhang Cheng's side, Fine Rain helped him straighten his clothes and couldn't help but look disdainful.

"Look, this was bestowed upon me by the Emperor today!"

Taking out the 'immortal pill' given by Jia Jingzhong, Zhang Cheng smiled.

"This? You're going to eat it?"

Looking at Zhang Cheng in disbelief, Fine Rain was stunned.

Because she was a person from the martial arts world and knew the dangers of these 'immortal pills'!

"The day I find someone I'm not happy with, and I have no way to deal with him, I'll stuff this imperial-bestowed immortal pill into his mouth. If he dares to spit it out, that's disrespect, if he doesn't spit it out and eats it, let's see if he dies!"

Showing a Tom the Cat smile, Zhang Cheng raised his eyebrows, looking very proud.

Hearing Zhang Cheng's words, Fine Rain said in disbelief, "You officials, your hearts are truly dirty!"

Zhang Cheng felt that the main reason Jiajing could live a long life was mostly because he didn't eat the immortal pills he practiced;

he practiced immortality just to find something to do for himself. If he really took drugs, let alone him, even if Zhu Yuanzhang came, he wouldn't be able to handle it!

Zhu Yuanzhang: Do I look like I have no brains?

Zhang Cheng:.

In a certain brothel filled with flowers and wine,

Zhang Cheng was drinking with Ding Xiu, Shen Lian, Jin Yichuan, Lu Jianxing, the Desert Judge, and others, when he suddenly heard a roar from next door: "A geisha left over by a merchant, he treats her like a treasure and marries her back, truly losing the face of the Gao family ancestors for eighteen generations!"

"My lord, saying it like that, wouldn't it be too hurtful!"

Looking at the man throwing a tantrum before him, the servant hurriedly explained.

"Hurtful my ass, tell Gao Hanwen, if he doesn't handle this matter, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Slamming the table, Yan Shifan's eyes flashed.

Hearing the voice next door, Zhang Cheng's mouth twitched, because wasn't this the Great Ming weightlifting champion?
