Just when he thought he would die like this, Xu Guogong saved him.
At that time, he was just an ordinary soldier, and the Duke of Guo was the commander of the camp, so there was a huge difference in status.
But after seeing him being punished, the Duke of Guo asked the soldiers why he was punished. After learning that he was punished because he disobeyed orders during yesterday's operation and delayed the progress of the mission, the Duke of Guo asked people to let him go.
The Duke of Guo not only rescued him, but also took him to the coach's camp and treated him to a drink.
The Duke of Heaven said a lot to him that day.
He said: Look at you being exposed to the scorching sun but your face remains unchanged. You are a man of steel. It would be a pity to die because of making this mistake. Your life should be kept on the battlefield to protect your family and the country. .
He said: Whether in a military camp, in a court, or in ordinary people's homes, evil will always exist. The important thing is not how to avoid evil, but how to protect the good in one's heart.
He said: You and I are actually the same. Although our identities are currently different, the things you and I are doing are no matter how big or small. We are all fighting for our only lives to protect our home and country. The reason why we can hold the sword in our hands tightly is because we all have a belief in our hearts. Behind us are our fathers and fellow villagers, the old, weak, women and children. If we fall, they will fall too.
...
That day, as a fledgling, he looked at the Duke of Guo, who was respected by thousands of people, in astonishment. He watched him drinking freely and laughing loudly, showing a side he had never seen before.
It turns out that the Duke of Guo, who is so majestic on weekdays, is such a bold and casual person in private.
It turns out that such a great hero is as approachable as an ordinary old man.
That was the only close contact he had with the Duke of Guo. It might not be a big deal to the Duke of Guo, but it had a profound impact on him.
Wei Mingting was not unmoved by what Zheng Zhongye said when he caught him, but he had already figured it out a long time ago, and it was the Duke of Guo who taught him.
Later, the Duke of Guo was defeated in the war and lost three cities in the Northeast. He was impeached and accused of collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country and deliberately leaking secrets and was defeated.
He firmly believed that this was a slander. Such a person would never do anything to collaborate with the enemy and betray the country.
However, Duke Guo failed to return to the capital alive to defend himself. He died on the way back to Beijing...
Then the Xu Guogong Palace was destroyed, and people who were close to Xu Guogong Palace died and were demoted...
Wei Mingting learned from his memories When he came back to his senses, the old wine bag in his hand was the same bag that the Duke of Guo had invited him to drink with.
Then Wei Mingting stood up and took out a jar of wine from the cabinet behind him, which was thyme.
He poured the thyme wine into the cowhide bag, then drank it.
After half a bottle of wine, he recalled in front of his eyes that windy and snowy night, when the man handed the infant child into his hands.
"You must remember, once this matter is exposed, you will have committed the serious crime of confiscating your home and exterminating your family." The man said.
He looked at the child, and after hesitation he chose to take it.
"I have to repay a favor," he said to the man.
Wei Mingting closed his eyes, that kid Jin Yi...
so many years have passed... some things have come to that point...
###
The next day, the imperial edict came, and Wei Mingting was officially promoted to the Taizhou Prefecture's anti-Japanese army garrison, and was awarded Feng Wude General, the fifth rank.
At the same time, many gold and silver utensils were also awarded.
Wei Mingting did not show much joy after receiving the order.
In this regard, the palace officials who came to convey the order also understood very well. After all, Mr. Wei had just experienced the pain of losing his son, so naturally he could not be happy at this moment.
It's just that this decree was approved ten days ago, but it was only delivered to Taizhou Prefecture today by a special person appointed by the imperial court.
After comforting Wei Mingting and expressing congratulations, the palace man left the Xiaowei Mansion and went to the inn. The good news of Wei Mingting's promotion soon spread to the backyard, and the whole house was filled with joy.
It was only a temporary appointment before. Only when this decree is issued can Wei Mingting's official position be truly determined.
It is true that Zheng Zhongye is bad, but it is his badness that gave Wei Mingting such a good opportunity.
Otherwise, I don’t know how many years it will take before Wei Mingting can be promoted like this and sit in this defensive position.
Yun immediately ran to burn incense in front of the ancestral tablet and thanked her ancestors for their blessings.
Then he told the servants: "Don't show too much happiness in front of the master. Jin Yi has just left and the master has not calmed down yet. It is not appropriate to celebrate this matter too much." Mrs. Yun knew
Wei Mingting and knew that he treated his family more than anything else. Official position is more important, so you must not be overly happy at this moment.
In Wangmei Garden, Wei Qingwan also heard the news.
Involuntarily, a look of joy appeared on his face.
From now on, Xiaowei's Mansion will no longer be Xiaowei's Mansion, but will be renamed General's Mansion.
From captain to general, this step is something that many people cannot cross in their lifetime.
At the same time, this also means that her identity as a young lady of the Wei family has also undergone tremendous changes.
The first thing Wei Qingwan thought of was that the status gap between her and Mr. Qi had become smaller, and the resistance to Mr. Qi marrying her would be greatly reduced.
"Miss, this is really great!" Cuihe was happy for Wei Qingwan and also happy for herself.
"Yes." Wei Qingwan's face was filled with expectation and longing.
"Now we just need to wait for the master to forgive the young lady and then take the young lady back to his home. Everything will develop in a good direction!" Cui He said again.
"Yes." Wei Qingwan also thought so.
As long as Wei Qingruo no longer interferes with it, the day when she returns home will not be far away, and then she can stay with Mr. Qi forever...
Thinking of Qi Zhen, a happy and shy smile appeared on Wei Qingwan's face.
As long as she can be with Mr. Qi, no matter if it is Wei Qingruo or someone else who stands in front of her, she will not shrink back.
Listen to the Pine Garden.
When Wei Ruo heard about Wei Mingting's promotion, the first thing he thought of was Xu Zhengyong's situation.
Wei Mingting's official appointment has been made, and Brother Xiao Yong should be about the same.
I just don't know if Brother Xiaoyong can secure the position of deputy guard so smoothly. Wei Mingting's promotion to guard is almost foreseeable, because there is no more suitable candidate than him.
But it is still difficult for Brother Xiaoyong to upgrade to three levels in a row.
"Meimei, let's go to Sibaozhai." Wei Ruo said to Xiumei.
"Like Miss, I can't wait to know about Brother Xiaoyong's promotion." Xiumei said.
x Wei Ruodao: "No matter how many levels Brother Xiaoyong has been promoted, it is always something to be happy about. Let's all celebrate Brother Xiaoyong." Xiumei nodded
heavily: "Yes! We are all happy!"
The master and servant had the same idea, and quickly After tidying up, I went out.
