Chapter 985: One Zero and Three Good News
What his purpose is, everyone can guess, it's just that he's afraid of getting into trouble. Seeing that he is leaving, if he is unlucky in the end because of something mishandled, it is not worth it.
Jiao Yuanpu didn't want to do anything anymore, he couldn't wait to lie at home and sleep every day, and when Liu Ruozai came, he quickly handed over his errand and slipped away.
But there was one thing he had to do.
He had to inform Dong Ce.
On the second day, a fast horse sent by Jiao Yuanpu arrived at Panshi Fort and ordered Dong Ce to come to Datong Town.
Dong Ce vaguely felt something, but he was afraid that this was a trap set by Wang Pu, so he brought all the family members with him, so that no matter what trap he had, he could be crushed.
More than 300 cavalrymen rode their horses and rolled up the Pinggang, followed behind Dong Ce, and galloped all the way to Datong Town.
In the evening, we arrived at Datong Town.
I first stayed in an inn in a town outside the city, and then went to the town early the next morning.
At the north gate of Datong Town, the arrival of Dong Ce and his entourage alarmed the city gate officials, if it weren't for the fact that they were under the banner of the Ming army, and they were wearing cotton armor of the Ming Dynasty, they were afraid that the north gate defenders would close the city gate.
After explaining to the city gate official, the city gate official still refused to let him go, but he said that he could notify the governor yamen on his behalf.
Dong Ce had no choice but to wait outside the city.
A quarter of an hour later, the governor's yamen came and brought Dong Ce and the others into the city.
When he came to the governor's yamen, the man who brought him in led him directly into the mansion and waited in a side hall. The man said, "The Governor has an order to wait here for a while, and the Governor will be there in a moment."
This governor's subordinate officer is very enthusiastic about Dong Ce, and he doesn't have a little arrogance, he laughs and groans, whenever Dong Ce asks, he will definitely try his best to answer, which makes Dong Ce a little flattered.
Dong Ce was flattered and a little surprised, so he thought about the clichΓ©, but after three questions and two questions, he actually learned a news that shocked him extremely from the mouth of this subordinate official - Liu Ruozai is going to be promoted to the governor of Datong?
Dong Ce was shocked and surprised at first, and then after confirming the news, he fell into ecstasy.
Great, couldn't have been better!
For him, this was an out-and-out surprise, and when he was in Dacaotan, Liu Ruozai told him that he might be transferred to Beijing. Liu Ruozai is reluctant to enter the court, Dong Ce is not willing to enter the court, Liu Ruozai can be said to be his biggest backer, if Liu Ruozai leaves, it is conceivable that Dong Ce's life in Datong Town will definitely be difficult.
And now, Liu Ruozai not only does not leave Datong Town, but is going to serve as the governor of Datong!
Dong Ce almost couldn't help but laugh out loud, great, much better than the best ending he expected! Liu Ruozai served as the governor of Datong, and he was so valued by him, and he would inevitably get his full support in the future.
Dong Ce secretly thought: "When I made the development plan before, I didn't expect that there would be this variable, and now that Liu Ruozai is the governor of Datong, my support will definitely increase, and the allocated materials will be more abundant." As a result, the previous plan was a bit conservative. When you go back, you'll have to change it again. β
Dong Ce had already formulated a series of plans before, and he had already made detailed plans for the expansion of the army, the expansion of the territory, the casting of weapons, and so on. But now, he wants to set his goals a little higher.
The two were gossiping, and after a while, footsteps sounded outside the door, and Jiao Yuanpu strode in.
Dong Ce and the two hurriedly got up and saluted.
Jiao Yuanpu looked at Dong Ce, waved his hand, and said with a smile: "Sit, sit, don't be too polite." β
The subordinate official who came with Dong Ce said goodbye, and Dong Ce sat cautiously with half of his butt next to the chair.
Jiao Yuanpu didn't have a shelf at all, he also sat down, served tea, leaned on the back of the chair, and said with a smile: "You are Dong Ce, right?" β
"The last general is exactly." Dong Ce hurriedly said.
"Not bad, not bad, a talent, and a good bearing, like a big dealer." Jiao Yuanpu praised him, he was smiling, not like Shangguan, but like a friend of Dong Ce.
"I'm here this time to tell you that you've been promoted." Jiao Yuanpu got straight to the point and said: "There is a will in Beijing, and you will be promoted to the general of Beidong Road." β
When Dong Ce heard this, his heart jumped fiercely.
He breathed a long sigh of relief, and his mood was much lighter. He had already guessed before he came that coming to Datong Town this time might have something to do with his promotion. To be honest, Dong Ce just felt relieved, but not much to say excited. After all, he had already guessed that he would most likely be promoted to a general.
It's just that what he didn't expect was that it would be the general of Beidong Road.
What about Huang Wan? Huang Wan is the current general of Beidong Road!
Dong Ce kowtowed and thanked him first, and Jiao Yuanpu asked him to get up with a smile and gave him the relevant official documents. It is said that the will of the imperial court arrived in Datong Town, but in fact, it is the official document.
Then there was another small talk, and in the end, Dong Ce really didn't hold back, and seeing that Jiao Yuanpu was very kind and seemed to be very talkative, he boldly asked: "Master Jiao, the last general has the courage to ask, since the last general has been appointed as the general of Beidong Road, then the former general of Beidong Road, Lord Huang Wanhuang, is ......."
"He?"
Jiao Yuanpu snorted lightly, and there was a hint of displeasure in his expression: "He failed to exterminate the White Lotus Sect, and he was dismissed and went home!" β
When Dong Ce heard this, his heart suddenly burst out, and he didn't have the slightest joy, but instead surged into a deep worry.
He knows that Huang Wan is by no means a good type, if this time he is just exempted from the errand of the general of Beidong Road, he may not be fine, but this time it is ruthless enough, and he will be directly cut to the people, with Huang Wan's temperament, it is impossible to sit still like this! Perhaps, after Huang Wan gets the letter, he will come up with some kind of moth.
You have to be careful, and you have to be on guard.
Then Dong Ce said goodbye and left the governor's yamen.
In the afternoon of the same day, when he returned to Panshi Fort, Dong Ce immediately summoned everyone to the mansion to discuss matters.
After everyone arrived, Dong Ce faced everyone and said with a slight smile: "Everyone, from today onwards, this official will be the general of Beidong Road." β
"What?"
Everyone was stunned, but after a brief moment of surprise, there was a burst of jubilation in the lobby.
Everyone was full of joy, and then they knelt down and said loudly: "Congratulations, congratulations!" β
They were really happy and excited. You must know that the reason why these officials in Rock Fort can become officials and hold power is because they are in the power of Rock Fort because of Dong Ce. Their power and status were all given to them by Dong Ce. The honor and disgrace of one body are completely tied to Dong Ce's body. How far they can go and how high they can go depends entirely on how far Dong Ce can go.
