Chapter 407: Merit Increase 1
Zhao Chongxiu glared at Zhao Chongzheng unhappily and asked Xiang Muheng:
"How do you know?"
He already knew that Minister Su had left.
"Your Majesty, I am originally from the Mu family, and my father was the former governor of Liangzhou."
Mu Heng's words brought back endless memories for Zhao Chongxiu.
"Former governor of Liangzhou? A member of the Mu family?" He actually appeared here? And became Jiang Yue's subordinate?
"How to prove it?"
Mu Heng lowered his eyes. He just wanted to provide a clue.
Zhao Chongzheng smiled and said:
"My dear brother, why bother with this? Go ask General Zeng about this matter. He must know the answer."
At the same time, he was shocked by Mu Heng's self-exposure of his identity.
Wen Liang was the same, and was staring at Mu Heng.
Zhao Chongxiu ignored Zhao Chongzheng's words and directly ordered the jailer:
"He will be beaten with a stick until he confesses."
As soon as he finished speaking, the man was taken to a stool by two jailers.
One stick after another hit his waist and back. The man cried out in pain after each blow.
After ten blows, the man's back was bloody and he was in so much pain that he couldn't speak.
"It's Mu Yun, it's him, he did everything."
After hearing this, Zhao Chongxiu was indeed a little confused.
Mu Yun? He had suspected this person, but it had not been confirmed.
He then looked at Jiang Yue.
"Jiang Yue, your merit today is even greater!"
"Your Highness the Crown Prince should get the most credit!" Jiang Yue clasped his fists and said. This credit was all thanks to His Highness the Crown Prince.
Zhao Chongxiu was still a little angry when he thought about the prince going out without permission, but because of Jiang Yue's words, his anger towards the prince dissipated a little.
Then, he looked at Mu Heng and the other three people behind Jiang Yue, and once again focused his attention on Mu Heng. After a closer look, he found that he was quite similar to the former Minister of the Ministry of Revenue.
"Are you really Mu Zhong's son?"
Mu Heng clasped his fists and said, "Every word is true."
Zhao Chongxiu thought about asking Princess Chen to meet him in person some other day to see if what he said was correct.
He then asked Jiang Yue: "What positions do the four of them hold in the army?"
Jiang Yue replied truthfully:
"Xue Wen is the captain of a thousand men, and Wu Fei, Lin Guo, and Mu Heng are all centurions."
"It's all thanks to everyone's efforts. The centurion's talent is being wasted." It was not the first time that Zhao Chongxiu realized the extraordinary strength of the border soldiers.
"Jiang Yue, since I have appointed you as the commander of Lindu today, the positions of your soldiers should also be promoted."
He left the matter of promotion to Jiang Yue and let her decide for herself.
Jiang Yue nodded, having thought so a long time ago.
She not only wanted to promote Wu Fei and the other three, but also all the Xuanwu soldiers.
Looking at the four people beside him, he was so excited that he couldn't express his feelings in words.
"Why don't you thank me now?"
The four of them knelt down and thanked him in unison.
"Thank you Lord for your grace."
On the way back home.
The smile on Xue Wen's face was almost reaching his ears, and the other three people also had smiles on their faces.
His Majesty said that he wanted the general to promote them.
What Jiang Yue was thinking was that after the court session tomorrow, she would summon all the defenders in the city and intensify their training.
……
Jiang Yue was busy all day and when she returned home it was already dusk.
After the meal, the Xuanwu soldiers had a rare moment of leisure, so they gathered in the training ground to fight each other.
Jiang Yue watched everyone practicing martial arts and thought it was pretty good, so she couldn't help but give some pointers.
Later, under the moonlight, he taught the fifth sister archery.
"Fifth sister, how is business?"
"Exclusive business is of course easy to do." Jiang Wuni's business has been going more and more smoothly recently.
She was just a little worried about Jiang Yue, always wondering when she could live a stable life.
She thought that when the world was at peace, Xiaoliu wouldn't have to work so hard.
"I heard that His Majesty has promoted you again?"
"Yes, I was appointed as a third-rank guard general." Jiang Yue told the truth. This time, Jiang Wuni was happy too.
"You are the pride of the Jiang family."
These days, she often thinks about Xiaoliu's future.
"Xiao Liu's merits may earn him a golden ticket of immunity from death, which means that no matter what crime Xiao Liu commits, His Majesty will not blame him."
Jiang Yue has always known that her fifth sister was worried about her being exposed.
She comforted:
"Don't worry, sister. I'll be fine. If it's really as you said, maybe it can come true."
Jiang Yue smiled and continued to teach her sister close combat.
It is better to rely on oneself than to rely on others.
The next day.
Jiang Yue entered the court early in the morning as usual.
The morning court was as majestic, urgent and cautious as ever.
Since she left the Ministry of Justice yesterday, she has been waiting for a result, the result that Minister Su brought back yesterday.
After waiting for so long, Wen Liang was the first to come out when the court started this morning:
"Your Majesty, I still have doubts about the Fourth Prince's case."
