The Prodigal Son's Happy Life - Chapter 79
[Chapter 79 Captain Sun]
Hearing this voice, everyone in the tent became excited.
Sun Teng couldn’t help but be ecstatic.
Estimating the time, His Majesty is probably scolding that boy Fang Xiu at the moment.
Now he has sent an imperial envoy to deliver the decree. Needless to say, he must be conferred the title of General Zuo Zhonglang!
Thinking of this, Sun Teng stood up excitedly. After saluting, he said loudly: “Sun Teng, the junior general of the right center of the Yulin Guards… has met the imperial envoy.”
The bachelor’s student just glanced at him and said calmly: “Accept the order. Come on.”
Sun Teng looked excited, knelt on the ground and saluted uprightly.
The bachelor’s attendant took out an imperial edict and began to read: “The emperor is destined to be blessed by heaven. The edict says: Sun Teng, the right middle man of the Yulin Guards, is lying in a plain position. He is unable to do practical things. He is in his position and not in his duties. I am very worried about it. I issue this order. I am relieved of my position as General of the Right Zhonglang and demoted to Captain of the School.”
At first, Sun Teng was overjoyed, thinking about how to celebrate being the General of the Left Zhonglang and how to take a step further.
But as I listened, I gradually came back to my senses.
This seems to be an edict to punish someone!
When he heard the last sentence of being demoted to captain, his heart suddenly became cold, and he almost woke up from drinking.
He raised his eyes with confusion in his eyes, looked at the bachelor who was attending, and asked subconsciously: “My lord, did you get this imperial edict by mistake?” When the
bachelor who was attending heard this, an angry look appeared on his face, and he looked at Sun Teng and said coldly. “Is there any reason to misunderstand the imperial edict? Are you doubting me or His Majesty?”
As soon as he said this, Sun Teng shivered in fright, kowtowed heavily in a hurry, and said in a trembling voice: “There is absolutely no such thing as this in my humble position. “I mean.”
The bachelor just snorted coldly and said: “Captain Sun, take the order.”
Sun Teng’s face turned pale, he took the imperial edict with both hands, and said, “Yes.”
At this time, The captains in the camp finally came to their senses.
This envoy was not here to read out the imperial edict of canonization.
On the contrary, the imperial edict is an edict to punish sins.
They have always been loyal to General Sun, the right middle man of the Yulin Guards.
After this imperial edict, he was just a little captain like them.
However, despite this, they still respect Sun Teng on the surface.
After all, General Sun
is now Colonel Sun, and he still has a title.
Even if he is dismissed from the post of captain in the future, it is not something they can offend easily.
After the bachelor’s degree student read out the decree, he turned around and left the camp, returning to the palace to resume his duties.
Sun Teng was left lying on the ground as if he had lost his soul, his eyes were dull, and he didn’t know what was going on in his head.
On the side, the captains also looked melancholy, not knowing whether to come forward to comfort or leave.
After an unknown amount of time, a school captain stood up, saluted him, and said, “I have to train my soldiers for my humble duty. Please retire first. General, take care.”
Someone took the lead, and the rest naturally got up and left.
After a while, only Sun Teng was left in the entire camp.
I don’t know how long it took, but a bright light flashed in Sun Teng’s dull eyes. This bright light went from dark to bright, and soon filled his body.
He stood up from the ground, looked at the imperial edict in his hand, and clenched his right fist tightly.
Sun Teng told himself silently.
These are just the hardships and obstacles that must be experienced on the road to becoming a general.
As long as he cheers up and his title is still there, one day, sooner or later, he will become the general of the Habayashi Guards!
Thinking this way, he was no longer as lost as he was when he first received the imperial edict.
Instead, he silently walked to the case, preparing to write a letter of guilt to express his repentance to His Majesty.
But…
as soon as I picked up the pen, I was stunned again.
Because, he suddenly discovered that he still didn’t know what mistake he had made, which angered His Majesty.
Perhaps
after thinking for a while, an idea suddenly popped into his mind.
As soon as this idea appeared, he immediately denied it.
Although Fang Xiu is the only legitimate son of General Dingyuan, he has no military merit and will only be an earl at most in the future. He is definitely not worthy of being punished by His Majesty because of him.
But other than that, there seems to be no other reason.
Sun Teng felt that his mind was in a mess, and he couldn’t think of a reason after thinking for a long time. In the end, he just said with emotion that
what happened today was a completely unreasonable disaster!
Yangxin Hall, outside Nuan Pavilion.
Fang Xiu stood here for half a stick of incense.
The eunuchs came in and out and cleared out a pile of teacup fragments, which shocked him.
He was thinking about what mistake he had made to make Emperor Chu so angry.
But no matter how much I think about it, I can’t figure it out.
During this time, I just lay in the tent and slept, occasionally wrote a book, and memorized the Four Books and Five Classics.
There was neither adultery nor cheating.
The only thing that might anger Emperor Chu was the anonymous letter.
Could it be that Emperor Chu recognized his handwriting?
Fang Xiu seemed to have thought of something, and his heart suddenly became cold.
That’s it, I forgot to change my handwriting.
At first, when I was reviewing, I used the running script I practiced in college.
Today, the anonymous letter is written in the same cursive script.
But if you think about it carefully, you will see that there are so many civil and military officials in Chu.
Not to mention local officials, there are hundreds of civil and military officials above the capital court.
Everyone’s handwriting is different. If Emperor Chu can recognize his own handwriting among so many handwritings, it can only be said that his luck is really unlucky.
If this is really the case, all I can say is, admit it!
As time passed by, Fang Xiu’s heart became more and more uneasy.
After another half a stick of incense, Fang Xiu finally couldn’t help it. He grabbed a young eunuch and asked in a low voice: “My father-in-law, do you know why your majesty is angry?”
After saying that, he took out a piece of silver and secretly stuffed it in. In the hands of the little eunuch.
The young eunuch glanced around and saw that there was no one around, so he stuffed the ingot of silver into his clothes without even noticing, and whispered in Fang Xiu’s ear, “I don’t even know,” he said
. , left quickly, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
When Fang Xiu heard those words, he was slightly startled. Then, he immediately realized what he was saying and cursed secretly: “You are like a dog, you dare to defraud me of my money.
If I meet you one day, I won’t treat you like a piece of shit.” If my legs are broken, my surname is no longer Fang!”
The anxiety in my heart disappeared and was replaced by anger.
Only I do this kind of thing to others, and no one has ever done it to me.
This bitch is too brave to cheat me out of my money!
The more Fang Xiu thought about it, the angrier he became. He almost couldn’t help but rush forward, catch that bitch back and beat him up.
But, after all, this is the Yangxin Palace, where the emperor handles government affairs.
No matter how courageous Fang Xiu was, he would not dare to be so arrogant.
Moreover, there were so many eunuchs in the palace, and they all looked the same. They all had white faces and no beards.
If he were not an acquaintance, it would be impossible to recognize him at a glance.
The young eunuch obviously understood this truth, so he dared to seize food from the tiger’s mouth.
