Chapter 515 I really want to eat lychees
Of course, Pang Da did not ask about the progress of the recommendation, but only asked about Lieutenant General He's health.
If it were in the past, Vice Admiral He would have felt that Pang Da cared about him.
But now, he knew very well the other party's real purpose.
"Ahem, Lieutenant Pang, I've written the letter of recommendation and sent it to General Lin."
Lieutenant General He leaned against the headboard, his face full of embarrassment. "But General Lin said that you've only been in the army for a short time and are already a lieutenant, which is considered an exception. And if you want to go from lieutenant to general of the imperial court all at once, the jump is too big, and I'm afraid it will cause dissatisfaction among the other generals in the army."
"So, you're asked to wait a while. If you behave well during this period, I'll consider promoting you to captain."
Lieutenant General He was not afraid of what he said being exposed, because only a few of them could see General Lin normally, and General Lin was impartial and would not discuss these things with other deputy generals. Even if Lieutenant General Chen went to ask, he would not be able to get any information.
When Pang Da heard this, he sneered in his heart. He couldn't even handle such a thing. He was really blind to choose the wrong person.
A hint of displeasure flashed across his face, but he quickly concealed it.
Lieutenant General He observed Pang Da's words and expressions and felt that he had no conscience at all. Although he failed this time, he had treated him very well in the past. However, Pang Da did not even consider the kindness he had shown him in the past.
However, Pang Da believed that Lieutenant General He must have submitted a letter of recommendation and must have said a lot of good things about him.
To be honest, he has little experience in the military, so what he needs to do now is to wait.
"The general was ill, and he dragged his sick body to see General Lin for me. I will remember this kindness in my heart. For me, no matter what position I hold, as long as the general cares about me, it is enough."
Pang Da is very patient. He thinks Song Lao San is a man who has experienced countless hardships and got up again. It is definitely not the result of impatience that can be achieved.
Good things come to those who wait. If you want to gain a foothold in the army in the capital and occupy an important position, you need to wait patiently.
When that day comes, all the members of the Qiao family will be trampled into pulp under his iron hoofs.
Lieutenant General He pretended to exchange a few words with Pang Da, then made an excuse to rest and sent him away.
Pangda walked out of the door, looked back with cold eyes, then he flicked his sleeves and hurried away.
After eating melons for a whole day, Qiao Jianer left the inner army headquarters.
She saw a figure sitting by the railing of a teahouse in the distance, drinking. The flowers and plants on the balcony covered most of his face.
Qiao Jianer also stepped into the teahouse: "How long have you been here?"
"I'll be here whenever you go into the inner army headquarters." Pei Shijiu waved for the waiter to come over and ordered several dim sum.
"Look, from here you can barely see the inside of the Inner Army Headquarters."
"Can you see my people?"
"I can't see you, but I know you're in there. The soldiers aren't in chaos, which means you're doing well."
Qiao Jianer sat down and explained the matter in detail.
"This Pang Da is really cunning and cunning. It's hard to guard against him." Pei Shijiu laughed, his tone full of disdain: "He's no different from a rat in the gutter."
"Lieutenant General He is already on guard against Pang Da. What follows is a situation where he can sit back and watch the tigers fight. Pang Da won't be able to get far now that his true identity has been revealed."
Qiao Lianer picked up a piece of dessert and chewed it slowly, feeling good.
"It's getting late, why don't you come to my house for dinner?" she invited.
Pei Shijiu raised his eyebrows and said, "Okay, eating at your house or at my house makes no difference."
I don’t know if it’s my illusion, but although the boy looks relaxed, Qiao Jianer feels that there’s a heavy aura around him.
It seems like there is something unpleasant in my heart.
So she asked, "Second Young Master, is there anything I can help you with?"
"You can't help with this matter." Pei Shijiu said gloomily, "It's mainly about my parents. Anyway, I can't tell you."
"Since it's a family matter, I won't ask." Qiao Jianer said very tactfully.
Pei Shijiu's brows furrowed. In fact, last night, when he returned to Prince Pei's Mansion, he asked Prince Pei and the Princess indirectly for their opinions.
"Father, Mother, my brother is calm and steady, and very resourceful. From now on, I will not compete with him for this family inheritance."
"What are you talking about? I've already said that this palace belongs to you and your brother equally." Prince Pei said sternly, "You're fifteen now, and you're ready to take on the responsibility. Father knows that although you may be a little cynical, your intelligence is no less than your brother's. With a few more years of training, you will definitely be able to support the Pei Palace together with your brother."
"I don't have any ambitions, let alone ambitions. I just want to find someone I like. Wherever she is, I'm there. For me, having someone I love by my side is the most important thing."
"Nonsense, absolutely nonsense. Such a huge family business is simply beyond the reach of your brother alone. Only when you two brothers work together can the Pei Palace continue to prosper. Jiuer, don't let your father down."
Princess Pei also came to persuade her.
"Jiu'er, other noble families often have brothers fighting against each other, leading to the decline and division of the family. You two brothers are friendly and respectful to each other, and can tolerate each other completely. That's why your father and I made this decision. Although you are the second child, we will not be biased, and we will not let you suffer any grievances. You just need to improve yourself, learn how to manage the family business, and how to make a living in the capital."
Seeing his parents' firm attitude, Pei Shijiu didn't know what to say for a moment.
He also didn't want to make his parents sad. There was still a long time to go and there would be plenty of opportunities to persuade them, so he decided to take a long-term view.
However, he planned to let his eldest brother do all the important things in the future, so as to form a habit of taking charge.
There are large areas of ripe lychees in the space. The branches are weighed down with weight. The red-scaled peels wrap around the fruits, which are round and very festive.
Qiao Jianer vaguely sensed the emperor's intention and decided to go into the palace first to present a batch to the emperor.
At this time, the emperor was reading a half-serious, half-fictional history book, which recorded that hundreds of years ago, in a certain land, the emperor of a certain country wanted his beloved concubine to eat lychees from the distant south. He broke countless horses and exhausted countless soldiers before he got a few fresh lychees from the south.
The amount of manpower, material resources and financial resources invested in this process is incalculable. The calculation of transportation capacity and the planning of routes must have exhausted countless petty officials.
And these people are nothing more than cannon fodder of history.
"These lychees are really so delicious that I'm willing to pay such a high price for them." The emperor was a little tempted.
"But if I do this, disregarding human lives just for a bite to eat, how will history books judge me in the future?"
"Forget it, forget it. I'd better be a wise ruler. Of course, if anyone can let me eat a lychee, I will give him whatever he wants." The emperor sighed again.
