Chapter Twenty-Five: Title Controversy!

The refuge in the Yuzi period made Shen Chai extremely happy. Not only because of the other party's outstanding resourcefulness, but also because Yu Ziqi was the first Lingqiao Realm Commander under his command!

Such an existence should naturally enjoy special courtesy, and Shen Chai immediately decided to announce to all the officers and soldiers under his command that Yu Ziqi had the right to supervise the whole army, and all military affairs, Yu Ziqi had the right to intervene!

All the soldiers under his command, seeing Yu Ziqi is like seeing Shen Chai himself!

This status originally belonged to Wang Lung, but even Wang Lung did not have the special courtesy of the Yuzi period.

Wang Lung had no opinion on this, but took the initiative to ask that he could come to Yu Ziqi as his deputy.

However, Yu Ziqi rejected these honors and explained in a low voice: "My lord, my subordinates have not made an inch, and they have such an honor when they come, and it is inevitable that they will not be able to convince the public." ”

"Besides, if an adult is investigating others, others will definitely investigate adults. Li Chengfeng is already a strong enemy, and the title of the adult has not been agreed, so he can't give birth to more rights and wrongs because of me. ”

Shen Chai nodded, he knew that Yu Ziqi's identity was special, and now that he had publicly solicited news from the other party with great fanfare, it might cause unnecessary trouble, so it was better to hide this matter and wait until the right period to announce it.

"In this way, I am afraid that I have wronged Mr. ”

Yu Ziqi chuckled and shook his head, and said, "The meridians are broken, and I have endured the pain of demotion and seizure, and the trivial matters are not worth mentioning." ”

"Now that my lord has become famous in a war and is a lieutenant of the school, I am afraid that there will be twists and turns in the matter of agreeing on the title, and we should keep a low profile at this time. ”

Shen Chai frowned and said: "Sir, why did you say this? My military merits have exceeded one million, and I have beheaded two Divine Realms, this is something that the Temple of Tianxin Temple recognizes, and becoming a captain is a matter of course, is it possible that it can still be manipulated?"

Yu Ziqi shook his head and said, "Tianxin Hall not only confirms military merits, but also has the record of killing the powerhouses of the Divine Power Realm. It is, of course, indisputable that an adult becomes a lieutenant. ”

"However, the title of captain is a military attache of the sixth grade, and it is a great honor to confer the title, and this process is roughly divided into five procedures, and there are many variables. ”

"I want to hear about it. Shen Chai arched his hand and said, Yu Ziqi had served in the Sili Palace, and in terms of these system processes, of course, the other party was more familiar with them.

Yu Ziqi explained: "Military merit, force, this is the first level of military generals, automatically confirmed by the Tianxin Palace, this is already possessed by adults, and it is also something that most people in the army know, so there is no need to mention it." ”

Second, the main general 'Wude' is inspected by the Si Li Palace, and several titles can be used to participate in the election, commend the speech, and then report, which is the second level. ”

After listening to this, Shen Chai thought about it for a while, and then understood what this investigation of martial arts meant.

The promotion of officials, the lack of military skills, these are all big things. Especially the title of school captain, it needs to be ruled by the emperor, of course, it must be rigorous.

If a person has enough force value, but he loves to kill, and often kills his own people, but he does not break the rules. This kind of person is in a high position, so it needs to be carefully considered.

Moreover, inspecting the martial arts, agreeing on the title, for the reference and selection of the superiors, and giving the reasons why the title was drawn up in this way, are all things that the Si Lidian has to do.

For example, Yun Duo is the captain of Xuanwei, and the word 'Xuanwei' means to show prestige and morality to the outside world.

His military exploits were all because he came from outside the conquest, so he was given the title of 'Xuanwei'.

In addition, Li Chengfeng is a 'prestige' title,

The word Yang takes its shape and meaning, and what stands out is its bravery.

Cheng Xin is the captain of 'Mingwei', and the word Ming means that his royal majesty is enlightened.

'Yan Wei' means that he governs the army strictly......

There are also titles such as 'Yingwu', 'Zhaoxin' and 'Suren' in the army.

Basically, it is based on the characteristics of the main general, or the famous battle, or the personality traits, or the code of conduct, etc.

"This third level is reported to the supreme commander in the army. Further narrow the scope of candidacy for the ban. ”

"The fourth level is to be reported to the military department and the central center for archiving, and it will be submitted to the emperor for ruling. The emperor usually refers to the opinions of the chief generals in the army, and chooses one of the titles within the scope of the candidacy provided by the army. ”

"The fifth level, the award ceremony. Conferring titles, issuing holy decrees, and sealing official positions. In recognition of their abilities, the award is usually given in person, which is also the final step. If it is the forbidden army in Kyoto, usually the emperor will receive it in a unified manner. ”

"However, the Wu'an Army is a border army, so this award ceremony will be held in the Tianxin Palace. Tianxin Palace, which means that the heavens listen, the monarchs and ministers are single-minded, and the emperor will descend a divine power doppelganger in the Tianxin Palace, as if he is in person. ”

After listening to Yu Ziqi, Shen Chai also had a general idea of the canonization process of this title captain in his heart.

Although it is a bit troublesome, it also represents the importance of being named a captain.

"Dare to ask sir, what is this variable?" Shen asked.

Yu Ziqi stroked the beard at the corner of his mouth and said, "The military department and the center, for the promotion of the border army, usually only present, record, and archive.

"The people who are offended by adults will not be able to do things to such a high level, so there will be nothing wrong with the section of the military department and the center. ”

"The emperor ruled that there would be basically no surprises. ”

Shen Chai nodded, indeed, if someone has this ability, how easy would it be to kill him directly?

"Then there are only two places left: Wu'an Hou and the Si Li Palace. Shen said.

"Not bad. Yu Ziqi nodded.

"As the commander of the first army, Wu Anhou has the right to send the submission back to the Sili Hall for reconsideration. However, the adult has not offended Wu Anhou, and this possibility is negligible. ”

Hearing this, Shen Chai finally understood the meaning of Yu Ziqi.

"What Sir said is that the Si Lidian may make a fuss about examining my 'martial virtue'?"

Yu Ziqi said categorically: "Not certainly, but inevitably!"

Seeing that the other party said so surely, Shen Chai couldn't help but flash a trace of worry in his eyes, Yu Ziqi himself had served in the Sili Palace, and his understanding of this matter was definitely not shallow.

"Although the Si Li Hall is in the Wu'an Army, it is mostly composed of civilian officials. ”

"Although the Si Li Hall has no right to interfere in military affairs, it has a great say in the promotion of military generals above the sixth rank. If the Si Lidian strongly opposed, even if it was the Marquis of Wu'an, he would have to consider the influence of Confucian civil officials and his reputation in the court. ”

"As far as my subordinates know, nearly forty percent of the officials in the Si Li Hall are all from King Liang. ”

"What?" A hint of surprise flashed in Shen Chai's eyes, this news really shocked him.

Don't look at less than half of the forty percent of officials, but excluding neutral officials, these forty percent is enough to become a decisive force!

"No wonder King Liang can restrain Wu Anhou, no wonder Li Chengfeng can become a titled captain unruly...... King Liang's influence in the army is probably far more than it seems. Shen Chai said secretly in his heart.

From the situation of the Sili Palace, you can get a glimpse of the horror of King Liang's power.

"What does King Liang want to do? A king with a different surname, still wants to hold military power, does he want to rebel?" Shen Chai couldn't help but be startled when this thought came to his mind.

Suppressing this astonishing thought, Shen Chai turned his attention back to the matter of the title.

"Sir, then Li Chengfeng is a talent cultivated by the Liang Palace, so if I want to be promoted to a titled captain, wouldn't there be no chance?"

The hall of ceremonies can't pass this level, let alone after. Just gave him an ordinary captain, and his status and title were very different.

It must be known that Yun Duo was in the Longmen Realm at the beginning, and it didn't take any effort to deal with Jiang Zhe, and he almost wiped out Jiang Zhe in a flash.

And the title of captain is the default condition for becoming a captain, if this road is broken, then he wants to become a captain, but he doesn't know how many detours he has to take.

"Not really. Yu Ziqi shook his head.

"Huh?" Shen Chai was completely confused.

It's not, it's not, it's not enough, he was confused by Yu Ziqi.

"Don't worry, sir. Yu Ziqi said with a smile. "Your becoming a captain is a sure thing. ”

"Between the Marquis of Wu'an and the King of Liang, they are playing with each other, but in the final analysis, they are all the armies of the imperial court, maintaining a balanced trend, and the King of Liang does not dare to go too far, because the law of heaven is here. ”

"King Liang is a king with a different surname, and the dynasty has greater constraints on him, and meddling in military affairs is a cross-border, and it is impossible to completely control the border army. ”

"The officials who support the Marquis of Wu An, and the people who secretly support the King of Liang, each account for forty percent, and the remaining two percent of the officials, no one dares to offend, so they can only remain neutral. ”

Yu Ziqi analyzed: "The adult is innocent and does not belong to King Liang, so it is naturally the Wu'an Hou lineage." If you agree to ban the title this time, at least forty percent of the officials will support you. ”

"The adults are extremely talented, and they can cut the gods through the realm with the middle level of the Lingqiao, and in the battle of the Canglan River, they have even killed thirteen enemy cities, and no one can erase this kind of credit. ”

"If the Liang Wangfu dares to let the Si Li Hall erase your title of captain and only give you the position of captain, it will chill the hearts of countless commanders and captains in the Wu'an army.

"In this way, the gains outweigh the losses. The people of Liang Wangfu are not so short-sighted, and their subordinates conclude that the adults will definitely become the captains, but they are just doing tricks in agreeing on the title and the time of canonization. ”

"Whew~" Shen Chai let out a deep breath.

He finally understood what Yu Ziqi wanted to say, and the Si Lidian would not stop him from becoming a titled captain, but he could delay time.

The other party didn't need to delay for too long, just let his title fall after Li Chengfeng, which was enough to put Shen Chai in a troublesome situation.

At that time, Li Chengfeng was a lieutenant, he was just a captain, and he had no official documents or official status.

..................

The Hall of Ceremonies, a large hall with a beautiful style, stands more than a dozen statues of gods and goddesses.

The statues of the gods are either holding a scroll or an inkstone with pen and ink, wearing Confucian robes, and their postures are different.

Under the idol, there are rows of circular seats, and at this moment, on each seat, sits an official wearing a crown robe.

There is a blue-backed carp symbolizing the seventh rank on the crown dress, and there is a crane symbolizing the sixth rank spreading its wings, and in the middle of the round seat, there are three conspicuous positions.

The officials above were all wearing blue and purple gorgeous brocade robes, embroidered with a lifelike unicorn chart.

There is an aura canopy on the top of his head, a blue and purple light flowing on the official uniform, a gold medal and a purple ribbon, and the momentum is so strong that the surrounding forty or fifty officials are completely compared.

Three four-grade civil officials!

Guanglu doctor He Guangzheng, general discussion doctor Xia Haiqing, and Zheng discussion doctor Zhao Gongming.

On the other side, there are several generals with armor, and Lu Yuanwei is among them.

"Ladies and gentlemen. An official spoke. "In this battle of the Canglan River, Jin Wu led Shen Chai to break through the thirteen cities in a row, and beheaded two demons in the Divine Power Realm, and his military merits have reached the rank of captain, and he should be given a title according to the law as a reward. ”

"Xia Guan proposed to propose the three titles of 'Yingwu', 'Mingyong' and 'Chengwei' to give Shen Chai's captain the title and report to the imperial court. ”

As soon as this remark came out, many officials immediately responded to it.

The lower official seconded. ”

The lower official seconded. ”

"Seconded. ”

“......”

The number of voices seconding the proposal soon approached half, and it gradually surpassed it.

Faced with this scene, Dr. Guanglu He Guangzheng, who was in the first place, looked indifferent, his eyes were half-open and half-closed, as if he was about to fall asleep.

Zhao Gongming, the chief doctor on the left, smiled at the corner of his mouth and nodded frequently.

Xia Haiqing, the general doctor on the right, had slightly cold eyes and a somewhat gloomy face.

He slightly fluctuated the wrench on his thumb, and this scene was quickly noticed by someone with a heart, and suddenly, someone understood and immediately shouted.

"Wait! The lower officials think it's inappropriate!"

"Jin Wu is the commander of Shen Chasing, and his martial arts are lacking, how can he easily draw up a title?"

"He came from a camp of torturers, and he had lawlessness. ”

"Go to the Blood Demon Battlefield and kill your colleagues in vain. ”

"Obviously has supernatural combat power, but sneaked into the Canglan River and provoked border provocations, resulting in 481 border cities, and the city's troops were wounded and wounded, and countless casualties were imposed. ”

He also privately slandered Shangguan, and he was disrespectful. ”

According to the opinion of the lower officials, they should keep their original positions unchanged and send them to the bitter cold forbidden land to temper them for several years before they can take on great responsibilities. ”

As soon as this remark came out, it also attracted a lot of echoes.

Xia Guan agreed. ”

"Yes, if you have a lack of martial arts, how can you become a titled captain?"

"Seconded. ”

“......”

There are also a lot of voices that echo it, and the official uniforms of the officials of the various ministries are slightly bright, and the voice of divine thoughts resounded throughout the hall, which is diametrically opposed to the previous proposal, but there is a faint tendency to fight against the court.

"This statement is extremely absurd! The hero does not ask the source, and makes up for the merits, so he will not be guilty of the past, Lord Liu's words, is it possible to set a rule on the negation of the saint?"

"The trip to the Blood Demon Battlefield is clearly that Li Zhang first and his fellow captain Jiang Zhe intended to murder, Shen Chased and didn't do it, could he sit back and wait to be killed?"

"As for the battle of the Canglan River, it is even more nonsense to provoke on the border! Shen could not chase the middle rank of Lingqiao, and he crossed the river to attack the enemy, and he did not violate any rules. On the contrary, it is a great merit to break through the thirteen cities and kill the enemy. ”

"If such talents can't get the title of captain, do you want to let those incompetent people go up?"

"With just one mouth of your Lord Liu, can you make more than a million military exploits?"

A civil official surnamed Fei, with his words arguing, immediately counterattacked, which immediately attracted a burst of applause.

"Ridiculous, this kind of thing is mostly luck, without a large army to suppress the realm, how can he Shen Chai find an opportunity to kill the enemy?"

"The military exploits of the Tianxin Hall are confirmed, this is obvious, is Lord Liu blind?"

"Bastard! Fei Qing, you dare to insult this official!"

"It's you who scolds you blind and blind!"

"You ......"

............

The scolding soon became intense, and the expressions of Lu Yuanwei and other generals in the army remained unchanged, as if they had long been accustomed to the behavior of these civilian officials.

The three doctors sat firmly on the big chairs, and none of them spoke, allowing everyone to argue.

Half an hour later, Xia Haiqing, the general discussion doctor on the left and right, and Zhao Gongming, the general discussion doctor, couldn't sit still and joined the rebuttal.

These two people, one is from Liang Wangfu, and the other is the descendant of Wu'an Hou, as soon as they spoke, the people below immediately slowly closed their mouths and waited for changes.

The personnel of both sides in the Sili Hall are fixed, and in this battle, Shen Chai was promoted too quickly, and without warning, he had the strength of a titled captain, and accumulated enough military merits.

Therefore, neither side has much preparation, and they go around privately to win supporters, and now they can only rely on one mouth to win the support of neutral officials.

"Ladies and gentlemen, can you listen to me? Just when the two sides were arguing, the chief and the highest official of the Sili Palace, Guanglu Doctor He Guangzheng spoke.

Everyone also stopped, and their eyes were focused on He Guangzheng.

"Your doubts about Shen Chai revolve around three points. ”

"First, the battle of the Canglan River is suspected of being provoked. ”

"Second, the trip to the Blood Demon Battlefield and the killing of Li Zhang is an indiscriminate killing or a counterattack. ”

"Third, he was born in a bitter camp and has an illegal past. ”

Everyone nodded, none of these things violated the rules of the Wu'an Army. But what they are talking about today is not whether they have violated the rules or not, but about arguing about 'martial virtues'.

The statue of the god of the Tianxin Temple only judges whether a person has violated the rules and violated the established law, and will not make a moral judgment.

And the hall of ceremonies talks about etiquette and morality.

Although it is not forbidden to kill each other, if the Wu'an army deliberately kills colleagues, of course, it will be criticized by civilian officials, and such people will not be allowed to occupy a high position.

Doctor Guanglu continued to speak slowly: "In this case, then come one by one, and directly choose to support or oppose with divine thoughts, and you can abstain. ”

He looked at Zhao Gongming and said, "Lord Zhao, you come first." ”

Zhao Gongming arched his hand, stood up, and said in a loud voice.

"Ladies and gentlemen, General Fengxing is the leader of the Canglan River War, what is the battle situation, whether it is a gain or a loss, it is up to him to explain, it is the most appropriate!"

As soon as this statement came out, many people immediately supported it. Including neutral officials.

Xia Haiqing's face was ugly, but he had to be silent, the reason why he invited Lu Yuanwei to the Sili Hall to listen was because Sasuke wanted to inspect Shen Chai, and no one could take away this.

Lu Yuanwei's answer was also very simple, only two short words: "Big victory!"

"Hum~" Divine thoughts were intertwined in the sky, and countless points of light suddenly floated towards a golden document in front of Guanglu Doctor He Guangzheng.

After a while, Doctor Guanglu spoke: "In the battle of the Canglan River, Shen Chai has no merit, and there is no need to discuss this matter!"

"Next, Lord Xia, please. ”

Xia Haiqing arched his hand and wanted to stand up, but at this moment, Zhao Gongming spoke again.

"Wait!"

Xia Haiqing glared at him angrily: "What, is Lord Zhao dissatisfied with Lord He's proposal? Then I'm afraid I won't be able to finish discussing this matter for three days and three nights!"
