The crossbowmen lost their command, and after such a blow beyond comprehension, they suddenly collapsed and fled in an uproar, Li Donglai wore armor, shouted loudly, galloped out of the darkness, and asked the crossbowmen not to act rashly, kneel down and surrender to avoid death, most of the crossbowmen knelt down when they heard the words, Li Donglai made a gesture like Yang Pingfan, Yang Pingfan nodded, and no longer ravaged these crossbowmen.

Seeing that Li Donglai could communicate with the gods, the crossbowmen gathered towards him.

The other car that was thrown out by Yang Pingfan was empty, and Yang Pingfan was not proficient in grasping the strength of his own growth, so he threw it away and disappeared into the darkness, secretly saying that it was a pity in his heart, but he didn't think that the car crossed a curve, and smashed his head on the head of Sun Xiu, who was galloping wildly, and even the people and horses smashed into meat sauce, and the basin couldn't be scooped.

When Liu Kun arrived with people, there was nothing to do with him, and he was about to pursue the rout, when a deafening voice came, "Go to King Zhao's big tent." ”

Yang Pingfan said, his figure began to shrink and return to his normal size, and the soldiers next to him looked at him with awe, and their knees trembled and they were about to kneel.

The group rushed to the big tent of King Zhao's army, and it was too late.

They were greeted by a hundred men and soldiers led by Shi Le, all covered in blood, hideous and terrifying under the light of torches, and the most eye-catching thing was the head of Sima Lun, the king of Zhao, who Shi Le was holding in his hand.

Yang Pingfan looked at the head, Sima Lun was dead, his eyes were full of surprise, anger, unwillingness, hatred and despair.

"King Zhao rebelled, intending to mistreat the crown prince, and has been beheaded by our brothers. Shiler's tone was indifferent.

Seeing this, Liu Kun couldn't help but move forward, "You actually dare to kill the clan vassal king, who allowed you?"

While speaking, Liu Kun gave an order, and the people of the headquarters surrounded Shi Le's hundred people, but Shi Le's eyes were indifferent, just sneering.

"This palace allows it. ”

Everyone turned around, only to see the prince with a bandage on his head, walking slowly under the support of a woman, and the three people in the crossing group also appeared from the darkness, and the barrel of the gun was still faintly visible behind Li Donglai.

"The traitor Sima Lun intended to murder the palace, and the general Shi Le of the Qianren people learned in advance and passed the news to the palace, and the palace taught him the opportunity to behead King Zhao, and the bottom of the kettle was paid to quell the rebellion in one fell swoop. ”

As Sima Shu spoke, he handed Yang Pingfan a piece of sheepskin, Yang Pingfan glanced at it, and then handed it to Liu Kun, who read it with a strange expression.

"The prince is wise. ”

Liu Kun bowed his head and withdrew the people of the headquarters, and everyone in Shile was arrogant, and came behind the prince on horseback, like a personal guard.

"You go back, pacify and restrain the people, clean up the mess, and do it tomorrow. Sima Shu dismissed the armies with a word.

Returning to the residence through the group, Yang Pingfan looked at the sheepskin with interest, "I thought I would have to wait a few days, after all, Sima Lun is now in a position, and if he starts halfway, the news will be very bad for him." ”

Zhang Xiaoming nodded, "This is in line with the personalities of the two guys, but Shi Le's move is beyond our plan." ”

Yang Pingfan chuckled, "Do you really think that the prince has subdued the people?"

Li Donglai was very curious, "If not, what is it?"

Li Lan next to him snorted coldly, "Hmph, according to my guess, it should be Sun Xiu who went to find Shi Le, promised great benefits, and let Shi Le do it, but I didn't expect a series of accidents in the back to make Shi Le jump back." ”

Li Donglai scratched his head, "Why didn't he do it himself?"

Li Lan took out a pistol and played with it, "This is called borrowing a knife to kill people, and after the matter is completed, a few unpleasant Hu generals will be pushed out and cut down, not only in addition to us, but also to remove political enemies, killing two birds with one stone." ”

Li Donglai put his thumb up, "This Dao is quite deep, I can't guess it, Xiaolan, how can you see it?"

Li Lan pursed her lips, "I've watched a lot of palace fighting dramas. According to my guess, Shi Le did agree to Sun Xiu's request at the beginning, but he made a bet at both ends, and asked his sister who served the prince to send a letter to Sima Shu.

This Shi Le, a character, can be so forbearing, grasp the opportunity in the rapidly changing situation, and change his identity from a chess piece to a standard-bearer, which is a bit interesting. ”

Yang Pingfan nodded, and Zhang Xiaoming next to him yawned, "So what should I do next?"

"Look tomorrow, what our dear prince is going to do. ”

The next day, the Chinese army was raised, the prince was in the center, behind him stood Alan, on the left and right were Liu Kun and Shi Le, the king of Huainan and the king of Qi were relatives of the emperor, sitting on the marching bench, and under the stage stood Sima Lun's generals.

In a scuffle last night, the other generals stood still, only Liu Kun and Shi Le stood up, and the two middle-level officers were able to become close ministers of the prince's side.

The first thing Sima Shu did was not to pursue the fact that the officers had followed Sima Lun before, and all the officers still performed their duties, and after the success of the Qing monarch, they would be rewarded for their merits, which stabilized the morale of the army.

Then announced that he was the commander of the army, and selected 100 people from each of the Qian and Liu Kun troops to form their own personal guards, Yang Pingfan and Zhang Xiaoming glanced at each other, and the prince had his own direct troops.

Next is the reward for meritorious deeds, Yang Pingfan directly replaced the dead ghost Sun Xiu, became the prince to wash the horse, Zhang Xiaoming was the prince's housekeeper, Li Donglai became the captain of the crossbowman, Liu Kun and Shi Le became the leading generals, and Sima Lun's original generals were promoted to one level each.

For the old generals, there is no difference between being loyal to Sima Lun or Sima Shu, anyway, they are all members of the Sima family, and invisibly, King Zhao's army has become the prince's army.

The two princes who responded to the slogan of King Sima Lunqin were on the side, expressionless at the occurrence of such a big change, and watched coldly.

After the meeting, everyone dispersed, Yang Pingfan took the position of Prince Sun Xiu washing horses, he thought it was something similar to Bi Ma Wen, he held his breath in his heart, and couldn't help but complain after going back.

"Washing the horse is the front horse, and it is also the meaning of the pioneer, it is the prince's attendant, generally the third grade, this is not a small official, but a big official. ”

Zhang Xiaoming said enviously, "I want to try my best to please the prince, but I am just a prince and a prince, and I am only a fourth-grade, one level lower than you." ”

"Oh?"

Yang Pingfan was interested by Zhang Xiaoming, "Then what level is we?"

Zhang Xiaoming glanced at him with disdain, "I know that you didn't listen well when you were in history class." ”

Modern official positions have only 6 major grades and 12 small grades from the unit level, section level, department level, department level, ministerial level to national leaders, while the ancient grades have 9 grades and 18 levels, or 9 grades and 30 levels when the grades are established.

Because the overall level is different, when comparing the levels, I have to align them with several regional grades, such as the governor corresponding to the provincial level, the prefect corresponding to the department level, and the county corresponding to the department level.

In ancient China, there used to be two standard units that expressed the dignity and inferiority of official ranks.

The standard unit in the Qin and Han dynasties was "stone", including "two thousand stones", "one thousand stones", "four hundred stones" and other grades.

After the Sui and Tang dynasties, the official rank unit was changed to "product", with "one product", "two products" and even "nine products" several levels, with the number of few respect, from "stone" to "product" The transformation was completed in the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties period.

The earliest Yulu in our country was paid in kind according to the time, such as rice or grain, and the high-ranking people had more rice, and the lowly ones had less rice, and each gave a certain amount of rice to Lu every year. As a result, some units of measurement were borrowed as the units of the Yulu level at that time.

After the destruction of the Six Kingdoms by Qin Shi Huang, the weights and measures were unified, and the official level was also unified with "stone" as the standard, and the Han Dynasty inherited the Qin system, which also followed the Qin system. The earliest record of the "stone" of the Western Han Dynasty in Sima Qian's "Historical Records" is in the eighth year of Gao.

During the Wei and Jin dynasties, after the emergence of a new official rank unit "pin", the function of "stone" to indicate the dignity and inferiority of official ranks disappeared, and only existed as a unit of more and less money.

"Pin" indicates the dignity of the official rank, and "Shi" indicates the thickness of the Yulu, and in the 300-year history, these two units have been used at the same time.

Since the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the feudal manor and military forts were lined up, the circulation of commodities decreased, and cloth and corn replaced cash money to become the medium of exchange.

In the ancient Chinese bureaucratic system, there were two types of official positions: one with actual administrative functions, and the other represented the high quality of the bureaucracy.

Since the Qin and Han dynasties, the forms and sources of grade grades, the number and types of rank and type of rank in the past dynasties are complex and vary from time to time, and each subtle change can reflect the relevant political changes.

The titles of Qin and Han bureaucrats were quite concise, most of them were just one official, and titles such as "Great Sima General Lingshang Shushi" were very rare.

But after the Han Dynasty, it was different, and the titles of the bureaucrats were stacked, such as "Envoy Commander of the Governor of the Middle Governor of the Southern Xu Yanbei Xu Nan Yanqing and Hebei Six Prefectures, the Military Hussar General, the Kaifu Yi and the Three Divisions, the Founding Prince, the Southern Xuzhou Thorn Shi Jing□ling, the Founding Prince", "The Envoy of the Jie Special Entry Servant, the Taiwei Gongshangshu Ling, the Governor Ji Ding, the Cangying Youyin and the Ten Prefectures, the Military Hussar General, the Zuo Guanglu Doctor, the Kaifu Yi and the Three Divisions, and the Fen Daxing, the Tai Servants, the Commander of the Six Prefectures, the Nine Chieftains, the Governor of the Six Prefectures, the Commander of the Scattered Cavalry, the Lieutenant of the Imperial History, the Commander of the Left and Right Horses, the Commander of the Commander of the Southern Zhao County" Such bureaucratic titles are dazzling to see.

Even if the officials after the Wei and Jin dynasties were more capable than the Qin and Han dynasties, it was difficult to manage more than a dozen positions after all. In fact, these piles of official titles are of different natures, and not all of them necessarily correspond to an errand, and many are merely used to add glory, prestige, and treatment.

For example, "Waiting" and "Scattered Riding Attendant" are plus signs, and those who can wear Diao Chan are more spiritual.
