Chapter 294 I Didn’t Take Advantage of You
"Why is the general so anxious?" Cui Yushan swallowed and smiled.
"How can I not be anxious?" Wei Ling raised his eyes, but the smile was gone from his eyes, and his gaze was as sharp as a knife. "I am a soldier! We soldiers all know that military orders are as heavy as a mountain. The imperial envoy came to Mangcheng from Dongdu with the decree of His Majesty, but the imperial envoy has been in Mangcheng for twenty days, and there is no movement at all. If the imperial decree is an order to mobilize troops, do you know how much military information and military affairs will be delayed?"
Cui Yushan's smile was already very faint, and now after hearing what Wei Ling said, it felt even more awkward.
He looked at Wei Ling awkwardly, "Your Majesty's imperial edict..."
"Does the angel officer mean to say that it doesn't matter when Your Majesty's imperial edict is issued? Or does Your Majesty want to delay the announcement for another year or two?" Wei Ling interrupted him and lifted him up.
"No, no, no, General Wei, you are joking. How can it be possible that it doesn't matter when His Majesty's decree is issued?" Cui Yushan quickly changed his words.
"Then the Imperial Envoy has been here for twenty days, why has the imperial edict been kept secret?" Wei Ling's tone also turned cold, "Master Cui, I don't want to hide it from you. I have already written to the court to inquire about the meaning of the imperial edict! The envoy has come, but the imperial edict has not been issued yet. I am really uneasy in Mangcheng!"
When Cui Yushan heard this, the hair on his back stood up!
Wei Ling also submitted a letter? This is to report him!
Although he was brought to Mangcheng by the Queen Mother, to put it bluntly, he was just because he was the Queen Mother's nephew. If you say he is close to Your Majesty, that's nonsense! Your Majesty also used him because he was recommended by the Queen Mother, so he is half of His Majesty's family. But how do you judge this family? If he does a good job, he is a family member, but if he doesn't do a good job, he is not!
He was here to announce the imperial decree to promote Wei Ling to a higher rank, and he was also working as a clerk in the foundry department...
Wei Ling's words made him break out in a cold sweat.
Cui Yushan's head was buzzing.
He had a vague feeling in his heart that something was wrong.
He was too arrogant! He relied on the fact that he was an imperial envoy from Dongdu and didn't take Wei Ling seriously. He also wanted to give him a warning by investigating him. Originally, he thought that if he could find Wei Ling's weakness, he would make Wei Ling obey him. Even in front of His Majesty, it would be a great achievement! Now it seems that Wei Ling is the kind of ruthless person that even His Majesty has to issue an order to personally grant him a title to appease him. He has soldiers in his hands, but what do I have in my hands? An imperial edict?
Now looking at the situation in front of him, he couldn't run away even if he wanted to. Wei Ling's rank was higher than his, and he was stronger than him. Even the fierce soldiers standing behind him could blow him off his horse with one breath! What had blinded his mind, and he wanted to go against Wei Ling without even standing firm!
Moreover, the imperial edict has already been issued. If he finds any excuse to take it back, I am afraid he will not even be able to leave the gate of the military camp today!
Cui Yushan turned over and got off the horse, his face slightly flushed. He took several deep breaths before his heartbeat became calmer.
"Wei Ling, accept the order!" Cui Yushan held the imperial edict high above his head and said to Wei Ling.
A subtle gleam of brilliance flashed across Wei Ling's eyes. He lifted his shirt and knelt on one knee on the ground, "Wei Ling is here!"
Cui Yushan followed the procedure, burned incense and offered sacrifices first, and then announced the imperial edict.
After hearing that Wei Ling was conferred the title of First-Rank Marquis of Zhenbei, all the soldiers of the Black Tiger Army present cheered, the sound resounding through the sky, and frightened Cui Yushan so much that he broke out in a cold sweat.
"Your Majesty's grace is boundless. I kneel to receive the imperial edict and thank you for your grace. Long live the emperor." Wei Ling calmly stretched out his arms, took the imperial edict that had been read out with both hands, and said slowly.
As soon as he finished speaking, all the Black Tiger soldiers behind him began to shout "Long live the tiger" three times, with a momentum that shook the earth and mountains!
Cui Yushan’s face turned pale.
He truly understood why His Majesty wanted to confer a higher title on Wei Ling and at the same time asked him to supervise Wei Ling.
Who wouldn't be worried if they were surrounded by a person with such a large force?
However, in doing so, Wei Ling was instantly promoted from a third-rank general to a first-rank military marquis, and became a person with a title and rank. From then on, the gap between him and Wei Ling widened a lot.
After he finished reading the imperial edict, his status was directly changed from imperial envoy to clerk of the Foundry Department.
"Congratulations, Lord Cui. You have been appointed as the clerk of the Mangcheng Foundry!" Wei Ling looked at the distraught Cui Yushan and then laughed, "The previous foundry was destroyed. No one has been managing it for these years, so it has been abandoned. But all the things that can be preserved are placed in the warehouse. Lord Cui, please go and take a look when you come back."
Cui Yushan's heart sank. He looked at Wei Ling in frustration, but he had to cheer himself up. "Congratulations, Lord Wei! Congratulations, Lord Wei! We will need your help in the future with matters concerning the Foundry Department."
"No problem!" Wei Ling raised his eyebrows at Cui Yushan, then patted his shoulder.
The slap was so heavy that Cui Yushan felt half of his body was numb! He almost fell to the ground, and after swaying for a while, he managed to hold on.
If he was really knocked to the ground by Wei Ling in front of everyone, it would be a huge embarrassment!
The most numerous people in Mangcheng are soldiers. They don't care whether you are a scholar or not. They only care about whether you are strong or not. If he can't withstand Wei Ling's seemingly friendly pat, he will never be able to raise his head in Mangcheng again!
So Cui Yushan gritted his teeth and endured it!
Even though half of her body was numb, she still had a forced smile on her face, "We'll keep in touch in the future!"
"Someone will contact you. I don't understand the affairs of your foundry department, and I don't want to get involved! It's up to you, sir, to make the decision!" Wei Ling said with a smile.
After saying this, he left with the imperial edict.
Xie Yingfeng followed Wei Ling into the military camp, his mouth almost crooked with laughter.
"What a relief!" When no one was around, Xie Yingfeng laughed, "That Cui Yushan probably never dreamed that he would show off with the imperial edict, but in the end the edict was gone! Haha. He really didn't want to find out who you, Wei Ling, are."
Wei Ling looked at Xie Yingfeng with a half-smile, "Then tell me who I am?"
"You, you are the one who dares to snatch things from the head of the King of Hell!" Xie Yingfeng laughed, "How can Cui Yushan weigh so much? He doesn't even consider whether he is important enough to take advantage of you! I have been with you for so many years, but I have never taken advantage of you. Bah, who does he think he is!"
