In the evening, the Geng family's capital house was extremely lively, with an endless stream of officials coming to give gifts.

At this time and that time, the house in the capital was not luxurious. Considering Geng Ruxi's status before he was imprisoned, it was relatively low-key.

Moreover, this big house was mortgaged by Geng Zhangyan half a month ago.

That's because a large amount of money is needed to find a way, and the Geng family has no cash available and has begun to sell off their properties and fields.

The capital's house was worth more than five thousand taels of silver, and Geng Zhangyan only pawned two thousand taels.

However, the less money you have, the more unlucky you are. Too many officials are not merciless when it comes to collecting cash, and they push back and forth when getting things done, or they just plainly deceive people.

The grades of these unscrupulous officials are actually not high. Otherwise, how could Geng Zhangyan, an official, get in and speak up?

Suddenly, I heard Geng Ruqi Xianyu turning over. All these officials were so frightened that their faces turned pale!

How to remedy it?

It's very simple. How much you cheated the Geng family, spit it out twice as much!

So many adults hurriedly came to Geng's house to give gifts and spend a lot of money. In fact, most of them just gave back double the amount of money Heixia had.

Yesterday, the prisoners had no one to ask for help, but today they are full of guests and friends, talking loudly.

Geng Ruqi, who had experienced ups and downs, saw clearly. He remained calm and watched the officials' performances.

He has already thought about it, and he must be more careful from now on, and he will never eat the food of the prison again.

When the platform was played the next day, Geng Ruqi cherished his words like gold, which made Emperor Chongzhen feel good about him.

That was Chongzhen comparing Geng Ruqi with Yuan Chonghuan.

At this time, Chongzhen hated Yuan Chonghuan. He clearly remembered that during the platform performance, Yuan Chonghuan was eloquent and threatened to "pacify the Liao Dynasty in five years."

But he actually believed that guy's lies, gave him the greatest trust, and allowed that guy to gain huge power, which was equivalent to handing over half of the imperial army, and the strongest troops, to that guy.

But what's the result?

Yuan Chonghuan did not have the ability to kill the enemy, but he had the ability to kill Mao Wenlong, the Ming Dynasty's chief military officer who opened the town of Dongjiang and repeatedly attacked the rear of the slave establishment.

Ping Liao is a joke. The capital of the Ming Dynasty was almost "pacified" by Jiannu!

Once bitten by a snake, he was afraid of well ropes for ten years. Now Emperor Chongzhen gets angry when he sees ministers talking eloquently, so he sees that Geng Ruxi has been listening carefully, thinking carefully about every word he speaks, and he likes it in his heart.

The emperor likes those with great benefits!

Three days later, in the early morning court, Geng Ruqi, the former minister of Taipu Temple, censor of Youqiandu, and governor of Shanxi, was promoted.

The new appointments are the right minister of the Ministry of War, the right deputy censor of the capital, the governor of Xuanfu, Datong, and Shanxi military affairs.

The official positions in the Ming Dynasty were unique. The ministers of Taipusi Temple and Yushi of Youqiandu before Geng Ruqi were not actual positions. They were fictitious positions that only received remuneration. The governor was the actual position.

The current right minister of the Ministry of War and the right deputy censor of the capital are just empty positions with remuneration, while the governor of Xuanda is Geng Ruqi's current position.

This position is very high. Two of the nine important towns include the military affairs of Shanxi Province, and the food and salary are all under the jurisdiction of the Governor of Xuanda. Historically, Lu Xiangsheng once served as the Governor of Xuanda.

In the late Ming Dynasty, the imperial power was restricted. The appointment of feudal officials could not be done arbitrarily by the emperor, and the emperor also had to communicate with the cabinet.

The reason why the emperor and the cabinet reached an agreement was of course that the nuclear power personnel rushed back to the capital to confirm that the beheading power was real.

The number of beheadings is dozens more than that of "Ningjin Victory". Of course, this merit should be generously rewarded.

Not only did Geng Ruxi get an official promotion, Geng Zhanghua also received a great gift.

He was awarded the title of Juren by the emperor, and angels immediately rushed to Zhangjiakou to read out the imperial edict and summon him to Beijing to be a saint.

There were no telephones, and communication via WeChat in ancient times was too inconvenient. At this time, the Geng family in Zhangjiakou had not yet learned such good news.

The originally happy old lady suddenly became unhappy again. She was staring at Geng Zhanghua around the clock these days.

Why?

Then we have to start from the beginning.

Geng Zhanghua, who rushed back to Zhangjiakou in a hurry, was disobedient and actually planned to leave the customs again early the next morning with all his servants who could fight on horseback.

The purpose was to rescue Huang Yi and the more than 2,000 Han people who were rescued.

His reason is simple. The victory has been secured, and rescuing his father is a certainty.

Huang Yi, Huang Yi's troops and more than 2,000 Han people were still in danger, how could he not show loyalty and ignore them?

Therefore, he wanted to bring as many people as possible out to support him.

Geng Zhanghua grew up after experiencing the war outside the border. He knew that there were only a dozen or so servants in the Geng family who could fight on horseback, which was too few.

So he arranged for Geng Da, Yang Shihu and Liu Chuanzong to go to Zhangjiakou garrison to recruit people.

Of course, we can't blatantly poach, it's just a temporary secondment for a month. If the selected soldier is willing to follow Geng Zhanghua out of the country for a month, the Geng family will give him five taels of cash.

For meritorious service, the Geng family will also give rewards higher than the court's standards based on the size of the merit.

Because of Yang Shihu, Liu Chuanzong came back completely and made great achievements. The power of this example is no small matter.

In addition, they were so popular among the soldiers that many soldiers who were bold and wanted to make a fortune were willing to risk their lives. More than two hundred people signed up. Of course, the selected ones were able to ride and fight, and there were more than eighty of them.

This means that Geng Zhanghua, who is out of seclusion again, will lead more than a hundred knights.

Of course Geng Zhangguang did not approve of Geng Zhanghua's style. He said frankly that every time dogs are slaughtered for justice, the Geng family are scholars and scholar-bureaucrats. They have already passed that hurdle, so how can they take risks again?

Geng Zhangguang couldn't help but retort, saying that most of the betrayers are scholars, threatening him that Geng Zhanghua could not burn bridges by crossing the river, even if the outcome would be more miserable, he would have no regrets, and Geng Zhangguang was so angry that he ran away on the spot.

The old lady was still the one who made the decision in this family. This time she firmly disagreed. Even if Geng Zhanghua wanted to continue killing himself to prove his ambition, it would not work.

Because the old lady simply did not believe that a great hero who had made great achievements and was favored by many adults would be willing to commit suicide, she made harsh words and sent Geng Da and eight servants to watch over Geng Zhanghua.

If Geng Zhanghua ran away secretly, all the servants responsible for watching over him would have their legs broken and driven away!

This is not over yet!

Rumors spread quickly, and the old lady didn't know who she heard it from, but Huang Yi was actually the son-in-law of the Geng family.

Immediately call Geng Zhanghua and scold him! He said he had ruined his sister's reputation.

Geng Zhanghua had no choice but to praise Huang Yi again and ask his mother to give the seventh sister Yueling to Huang Yi.

Fortunately, the old woman was not really angry. She softened her tone and said that as long as Geng Zhanghua was willing to wait for news in Zhangjiakou, the marriage could be discussed.

But whether it can be done or not, we must wait for the master to decide!

Although Geng Yueling was a concubine and had no sense of existence, Geng Yueling's biological mother had no children and she was the only daughter.

In order to avoid causing resentment, the old lady was determined not to decide on Geng Yueling's marriage on her own initiative.

We have to wait for Geng Ruchi to decide on this matter!

The old lady also said that she would discuss the matter with the master only if she saw Huang Yi with her own eyes and found it interesting, otherwise there would be no need to discuss it.
Chapter completed!
