Chapter 159: News about the general returns to Sha Village! Zhao Feng’s wedding!
Zhao Mansion at this moment!
After watching the wedding banquets of the two families in succession, Zhao Feng also made a summary for himself!
Therefore, Zhao Feng personally took charge of the layout of the mansion.
"My Lord."
"The second-grade wine and the highest-grade wine have been transferred from the Jiuxianlou."
"There's enough for the guests to enjoy."
"And the invitations have already been sent."
"Most of the ministers in the court have been delivered."
"According to the master's instructions, the Meng family, the Bai family, and Chunyu Yue have not sent invitations." Zhang Ming came to Zhao Feng and reported.
"well done."
Zhao Feng smiled.
As for those who are openly standing on the opposite side, no matter who they are, Zhao Feng will not pay any attention to them.
So these people are not invited at all.
certainly.
For those who had not fallen out with him, such as old foxes like Wang Wan, Zhao Feng still sent an invitation.
"Has the betrothal gift been delivered to the palace?" Zhao Feng asked Zhang Ming.
“It has been sent.”
"As the Lord commands."
"Ten thousand gold coins, one hundred thousand coins, one hundred pieces of jade, one thousand pieces of brocade, and one hundred bottles of the best brew from Jiuxianlou."
"There are many more. This is definitely the highest standard of betrothal gifts."
Zhang Ming said immediately.
"good."
"The day after tomorrow is my wedding."
"Let the guards control it and make sure nothing goes wrong."
"I will have to go to the palace later to personally deliver the invitation to the king." Zhao Feng said.
"Please rest assured, my lord. There won't be any mistakes." Zhang Ming assured immediately.
"Let someone prepare the carriage." Zhao Feng nodded.
"Yes, my Lord."
"Han Xi just sent someone to deliver a letter saying that several alchemy furnaces have been found."
"We'll send someone to secretly deliver it to the mansion at night." Zhang Ming said.
"Just put it in the side hall where I live when the time comes." Zhao Feng said.
"Yes." Zhang Ming nodded.
immediately.
Zhao Feng went out.
Riding in a carriage towards the palace.
As a general.
There are also standards for traveling, with a six-horse carriage.
Along the way.
Unobstructed.
When we arrived at the palace gate.
"Meet the General."
The guards on duty immediately bowed and saluted.
"I want to go to the palace to see the king."
"Please pass the message on." Zhao Feng said as he lifted the curtain.
"The king has instructed that if the general comes, he can enter the palace directly without being summoned." The captain of the imperial guard on duty replied with a smile.
"The King of Qin knows that I am coming." Zhao Feng smiled in his heart.
Then he came to his senses and said, "Thank you for your help."
Then.
The royal guards drove the carriage towards the palace.
soon.
Stopped outside the palace square.
Zhao Feng also got off the carriage.
In the court.
The Nine Ministers could ride in carriages into the palace, but those below them did not have this authority.
As the supreme general, Zhao Feng's rank was equivalent to that of the nine ministers, so he naturally possessed this authority.
soon!
Under the guidance of a monk.
Zhao Feng came to Zhangtai Palace.
"Please wait for a moment, General. I will report to the king." Zhao Gao said respectfully, and then walked into the Zhangtai Palace: "Your Majesty, General Zhao Feng wants to see you."
Hearing this.
Ying Zheng, who was handling the memorial, also showed a smile on his face: "Announce!"
"Ask General Zhao Feng to come to the audience." Zhao Gao shouted loudly.
Zhao Feng walked quickly into the palace, looked at Ying Zheng on the throne, and bowed: "I pay my respects to the king."
"how?"
"You haven't been here for almost half a month. Why do you want to see me today?" Ying Zheng waved his hand and asked with a hint of joking.
Obviously.
There was a hint of complaint in his tone.
This is not simply an attitude towards ministers, but also an attitude towards younger generations.
Zhao Gao, who was standing by, was naturally shocked when he heard this: "I still underestimated how much the king valued Zhao Feng. He is so close to him, I am afraid that even Wei Liao cannot compare to him."
"It seems that we must increase the stakes to win them over."
"But Zhao Feng is a powerful man. How can we win him over?"
At this moment, Zhao Gao was in trouble again.
If he were a lower-ranking official, he could be easily won over, but Zhao Feng was young and in a high position of power.
"I have been busy on the battlefield all the time. I finally have a chance to take some time off. Why not enjoy it?"
"This is the rest granted by the king to me."
"I can't waste it."
"Besides, Your Majesty is busy with government affairs, and I cannot disturb you." Zhao Feng replied with a smile.
"You are a man with a lot of crooked ideas," Ying Zheng scolded unhappily.
"Haha." Zhao Feng laughed twice.
"It's almost noon, go prepare some food." Ying Zheng turned and said to Zhao Gao.
"I obey your orders."
Zhao Gao bowed and retreated very respectfully.
Seeing Zhao Gao leave, Zhao Feng didn't bother to be too polite and just found a seat nearby and sat down.
"I'll have to find a chance to make a chair. Kneeling is too uncomfortable these days."
"This can also be considered a business opportunity." Zhao Feng thought to himself.
Looking at Zhao Feng's casual look.
Ying Zheng just smiled and said nothing.
"What are you doing here today?" Ying Zheng asked with a smile.
"My wedding date has been set. It will be in two days."
"I came here today to deliver an invitation to the king."
Zhao Feng said with a smile, took out an invitation that he had prepared long ago from his arms, and then placed it in front of Ying Zheng with a serious face.
Ying Zheng smiled, opened it and took a look.
"You have a good idea to let me host your wedding banquet." Ying Zheng said with a smile.
"This is not for the king. I would have returned to my hometown to hold a wedding banquet long ago."
"Since the king is here, I must preside over it." Zhao Feng replied with a smile.
"good."
"I will host it for you." Ying Zheng smiled and agreed directly.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
"To thank you for hosting the event, I have prepared a gift for you."
Zhao Feng smiled.
He took out a small box from his arms and placed it on Ying Zheng's desk.
Ying Zheng opened it and took a look.
"Spiritual stone?" Ying Zheng was stunned and looked at Zhao Feng in surprise: "Such a precious spiritual stone, you actually gave it to me?"
"I was lucky enough to get a few pieces."
"It's better to give it away than to keep it." Zhao Feng replied with a smile.
"Okay, you're thoughtful."
"I accept it. It's my reward for hosting your wedding banquet." Ying Zheng naturally would not refuse and accepted it directly.
But the tone changed.
"Will you return home after the wedding banquet?" Ying Zheng asked.
"Yes." Zhao Feng nodded: "I haven't been home for four years. I don't know how my mother and sister are doing. I naturally have to go back to see them and spend some time with them."
…
Dune County, Sand Village!
Bang bang bang.
Boom boom boom.
Hundreds of people were walking in the village beating drums and gongs, rushing towards the Zhao Mansion in the center of the village.
This also attracted villagers from the entire village to stop and watch.
"What happened?"
"Why such a big commotion?"
“I don’t know.”
"Look, the leader is the county governor. It looks like he is going to the Zhao Mansion."
"How do you know the county magistrate? He is the highest-ranking official in our Shaqiu County."
"Hey, you don't know."
"Don't just say I know him. Most people in our village know him. The county governor comes to visit the Zhao Mansion almost every month and takes care of the Zhao family."
"After all, Zhao Feng of the Zhao family is already the chief general of our Great Qin, and he is also the youngest chief general in the world, with a high position and great power."
"I know General Zhao Feng. Everyone in the world knows his name."
"My daughter married into Sha Village because of General Zhao Feng. As a fellow villager of Sha Village, she has also received a lot of favors from General Zhao Feng."
“Hahaha, that’s right.”
"General Zhao Feng's mother was very kind to us villagers. The land that General Zhao was awarded was rented out to people in our village at a low rent. The whole village is indebted to the Zhao family."
"The county governor is here again today, and he is so serious. I guess there must be something good going on."
"I heard that the State of Zhao has been annexed by our Great Qin. Lian Po, who was once known as an undefeated general, died at the hands of General Zhao Feng."
"I heard that not only Lian Po, but also Pang Nuan, both of whom were top-notch generals, died at the hands of General Zhao Feng."
"I never thought that a person like General Zhao would appear in such a small village like Sand Village."
"Such a grand event must be a reward from the imperial court to General Zhao. Let's go and see the excitement. This kind of excitement is not always available."
"That's right, go quickly, there will be no good seats later..."
Many villagers gathered towards the Zhao Mansion.
And at this moment.
Inside the Zhao Mansion in Sha Village! "lady."
"Miss."
"The county magistrate is here."
The housekeeper of the Zhao residence reported respectfully.
When the county governor came with strict troops, everyone in the Zhao family was somewhat shocked.
After all, it was the county governor who came to the house, but after a year or two, Yan Bing came to the house almost every month, so everyone got used to it over time.
Every time Yan Bing came, he would bring a lot of things.
servant.
Gold and silver.
There are also medicinal herbs.
Give away whatever you have.
It can be said that he was willing to do anything to be on good terms with the Zhao family.
Zhao was naturally aware of this kindness. She refused at first, but later she could no longer refuse. In the end, she accepted Yan Bing's kindness on behalf of her son.
"It looks like your brother has some news back."
"Last time I specifically told County Magistrate Yan that if there was any news about your brother, he should send someone to tell me immediately." A look of joy appeared on Zhao's face.
"The State of Zhao has been destroyed, and it's time for me to come back." Zhao Ying said happily.
"Let's go out and welcome County Magistrate Yan." Zhao said immediately.
Then the mother and daughter walked out of the house.
Just arrived at the mansion gate.
Yan Bing had the boxes carried to the center one by one in a familiar manner.
The guards in front of the mansion did not stop him because Yan Bing was too familiar with him.
"County Magistrate Yan, is there any news about Feng'er?"
Seeing Yan Bing, Zhao immediately asked.
"Ha ha."
"lady."
"Congratulations."
"Good news from Xianyang."
"General Zhao Feng has been appointed as the Commander of the Guard by the King." Yan Bing said excitedly.
"What? Guard Commander?"
Hearing this.
Zhao's face was filled with shock.
"What is the Guard Commander?" Zhao Ying asked curiously.
"Ms. Zhao."
"The commander of the imperial guards is what the outside world calls the general." Yan Bing said with a smile.
As soon as these words fell.
Zhao Ying's expression also became shocked.
"General?"
"How is this possible?"
"My brother became a general?"
"He's only twenty years old?"
"This is fake, right?" Zhao Ying's voice began to tremble.
When the news spread, not only did other people not believe it, even Zhao Feng's own sister found it hard to believe it.
"General?"
"Zhao Feng was appointed as the general by the king?"
"OMG."
"How do I put this?"
"Zhao Feng is only 20 years old this year, and he has been appointed as a general?"
"The Zhao family has really produced a dragon, the youngest general in the Qin Dynasty, the youngest general in the world."
“This is too unbelievable.”
"I am the fourth general of the Great Qin, a general at the age of twenty..."
All the villagers who were watching in front of Zhao's house had expressions of shock on their faces.
They were all shocked by the news brought by Yan Bing.
Although seeing Yan Bing coming and the big fuss about beating drums and gongs suggested there might be some big news, no one could have imagined that it was this kind of news.
A twenty-year-old general! This can only be said to be smoke coming out of the ancestral grave.
No.
Even the smoke rising from our ancestral graves cannot describe this situation.
"When will Feng'er come back?" Zhao asked with concern.
I haven't seen my son for four years. It would be a lie to say that I don't miss him.
"It is said that the general will first hold a wedding banquet in Xianyang to entertain all the officials in the court, and then return to his hometown to hold another one to entertain the villagers." Yan Bing said with a smile.
"That's best."
"And don't offend his colleagues in the court."
Zhao heaved a sigh of relief when she heard this.
In just four years, his son has now reached the position of general, which is unprecedented.
If it were held directly in Sha Village, something big would happen if the King of Qin suddenly came.
Therefore, holding one in Xianyang and one in Shacun is the best choice.
"I also think this is the best way to hold a wedding banquet."
"Since then."
"Firstly, the general can make friends with the ministers in the court, and secondly, he can get the king to attend the wedding banquet. After all, the general's military position is so high, the king will definitely attend." Yan Bing said very respectfully.
Zhao nodded and said, "Thank you, County Magistrate, for bringing the news."
"You're welcome, ma'am."
"It is my honor to bring news to Madam." Yan Bing replied immediately.
At this moment, his tone towards Zhao had become much more respectful.
After all, Zhao Feng's position has already moved to a higher level.
"mother."
"Is that still my brother?"
"Has he been replaced by someone?"
"I was a little bit unconvinced when he became a general before, but now he has become a general."
Zhao Ying still looked at her mother with some disbelief.
"Don't say you don't believe it. Mom doesn't believe it either."
"However, your brother must have suffered a lot over the years." Zhao said with some concern.
…
Xianyang City, Zhao Mansion!
Today is particularly joyous.
The whole house was filled with distinguished guests.
Almost all the guests who came to the palace that day are here today.
One is to give face to Zhao Feng, and the other is to give face to Wang Jian.
certainly.
The most important thing is Ying Zheng's face.
Today's wedding banquet was hosted by Ying Zheng himself.
Looking throughout the world, Zhao Feng is the only one who can have the current king personally preside over his wedding banquet.
The entire square in front of the palace.
Just like a royal palace, it was packed with distinguished guests.
now.
Zhao Feng held Wang Yan's hand and wore a black wedding dress. Wang Yan wore a black long skirt and held a woman's fan in her hand. She covered her face and walked towards the elders' seat.
And Ying Zheng.
Ze also served as the host of the wedding banquet and sat side by side with Wang Jian.
Beside Ying Zheng, Zhao Gao acted as the person who made the announcement.
"now."
"Zhao Feng and Wang Yan from the Wang family are happily married."
"Congratulations on your wedding."
"The marriage is granted by the king, and all the people of Great Qin will bear witness to it."
"now."
"Above the Zhao Mansion."
"The elders of Zhao Feng have not arrived, so the king will preside over the meeting on behalf of the elders of Zhao Feng."
Zhao Gao shouted hoarsely.
The words fell.
This also made all the guests below look at each other in bewilderment.
Even Zhao Feng was slightly surprised at this moment, because when Ying Zheng was invited to preside over the event, he was not asked to replace the elder. After all, this was a bit beyond the limit.
But today Zhao Gao read it out.
Ying Zheng actually appeared as an elder.
This also made Zhao Feng very moved.
"The King of Qin has been so kind to me!" Zhao Feng said to himself.
And in the square.
Fusu.
And the expressions of Wang Wan and the others...
