"Shen Yan, when you formed the Great Xia Royal Army, you made a bet with me, and if you win this bet today, I will never break my promise, not only will I honor the previous bet, but at the same time, I will reward you well. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" A hearty smile appeared in Xia Qi's eyes, looking at Shen Yan kneeling in front of him, his right hand was raised falsely, and Shen Yan stood up and spoke.

"The Great Xia Royal Army deserves to be my disciples. Due to the early establishment of the Great Xia Royal Army, it could not form a military system, but today's performance of the Great Xia Royal Army made me see hope, I felt very gratified, after today's exercise, I decided to expand the Great Xia Royal Army, but the food should be eaten one bite at a time, and the pace of the expansion of the army should not be too big at once, so I allowed you to expand the army by 5,000, and you now have 3,000, so recruit another 2,000. Xia Qi's eyes showed a look of excitement, looked at Shen Yan, and said loudly with a hint of hope.

"I know that the Great Xia Royal Army has expanded, and it is not appropriate for you to command them as a thousand generals, so I have decided to make you the Lang General of the Fifth Rank and lead the Great Xia Royal Army, I hope that you will raise the strength of the Great Xia Royal Army to another level in the shortest possible time."

"In addition, I will promote you to be the Outer Lang of the Criminal Department of the Fifth Rank and the Outer Lang of the Criminal Department of the Fifth Rank, I hope that while you are in command of the Royal Army of Great Xia, you will also do a good job as the Lang of the Military Department and the Outer Lang of the Criminal Department, so as to serve me and serve Great Xia." After Xia Qi finished speaking, he glanced at Shen Yan with a look of expectation in his eyes, and saw Shen Yan meet his gaze, Xia Qi blinked slightly, as if telling Shen Yan that as long as you do things for me loyally, I will definitely not treat you badly.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Shen Yan heard that the emperor had raised his grade to the fifth grade, a touch of surprise and joy appeared in his eyes, to be honest, Shen Yan did not think that the emperor would take this opportunity to improve himself, and more importantly, he took both civil and military qualities. Which of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military forces was as civil and military as himself, no.

This honor, this holy grace, made Shen Yan feel and excited, and he was extremely moved and excited.

"Shen Yan, I believe in you, I believe that you have the ability to build a Great Xia royal army that dares to show your sword in every battle, and will win with your sword, as for Lang Zhong of the military department and Wai Lang of the criminal department, with your talent, it is not difficult to be qualified for these two official positions, as long as you do your job well." Xia Qi saw a touch of emotion and excitement in Shen Yan's eyes, and a hearty smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, it seemed that it was a very interesting thing to see Shen Yan's gratitude to him.

"Weichen must do his best to die, and he will definitely live up to the emperor's expectations." A mist flashed in Shen Yan's eyes, although he knew in his heart that the emperor's honor for himself was not necessarily a kind of care and love, however, since he came to this world, except for a few women around him who are worthy of love, except for a rare friendship with Gao Yong, others are nothing more than taking advantage of the relationship, except for using is being used. However, in the face of the emperor's honor for himself, Shen Yan was still very grateful in his heart, at least he could have more power to protect the people around him who were worthy of love.

"What?" Hearing the emperor's reward, a strong shock appeared in the eyes of Huang Weimin, the secretary of the Ministry of War.

Huang Weimin does not deny that Shen Yan does have some talents and has made some contributions, however, the emperor will not raise Shen Yan's grade to the fifth grade all of a sudden, and he also takes into account both civil and military affairs, which seems to be a bit too child's play.

In order to send Shen Yan to the Ministry of War, in order to make fun of him, he jokingly gave him a six-grade Qianzong according to his six-grade criminal department director, who knew that he not only won the recognition of those soldiers, but also obtained such a great credit, but now it is good, his original playful idea has become the cornerstone of raising Shen Yan's position.

Huang Weimin wanted to jump out and say to the emperor, Your Majesty, don't do it, but unfortunately, he doesn't have the courage to accept the reward full of irony for himself.

Thinking of this, Huang Weimin couldn't wait to slap himself a few times.

"This sucks." After Lin Xiaotang heard the emperor's reward, a look of embarrassment appeared in his eyes, and the complexity of his mood was no less than that of Huang Weimin.

Shen Yan's first official position promoted by the emperor was the head of the Criminal Department, which was equivalent to forcibly tearing a hole in his own territory, in order to give an explanation to the Seventh Prince, he designed to embarrass the other party at the beginning of Shen Yan's tenure, so that Shen Yan knew the difficulty and retreated, who knows, Shen Yan not only easily resolved the bureau he set up, but even established some influence among the low-level scribes of the Criminal Department, isn't this adding to his own blockage.

Who knows, Shen Yan didn't know that the sky was high and the earth was thick enough to suggest the six-part argument to the emperor, isn't this clearly giving himself a chance to send Shen Yan away, when he heard the news, he had a little pride in his heart, and he successfully drove Shen Yan to the military department afterwards. Huang Weimin, the secretary of the Ministry of War, should have the same idea as himself, so he drove Shen Yan to the barracks on the outskirts of Beijing to train the group of ruffians who were abandoned by the military and the Ministry of War.

However, it backfired, neither he nor Huang Weimin expected that Shen Yan would come back to life, not only successfully won the recognition of those soldiers, but also took them to make enough credit to make the military and the military department envious, thus increasing their status in the emperor's mind, so that the emperor now has an additional reward.

As a courtier, Lin Xiaotang couldn't stop the emperor from liking Shen Yan and rewarding Shen Yan, but rewarding Shen Yan as a member of the criminal department from the fifth grade was a naked slap in the face, and the emperor gave himself a warning not to vainly try to turn the criminal department into the private property of the Seven Princes.

Although Lin Xiaotang felt depressed in his heart, he was much luckier than Huang Weimin. After all, the emperor forcibly tore open a hole in the military department, and let Shen Yan serve as the Langzhong of the fifth grade from scratch.

It can be said that Lin Xiaotang and Huang Weimin's mood at the moment can be regarded as a pair of difficult brothers.

"Shen Yan is a chicken dog this time." A hint of surprise appeared in Tong Yanbian's eyes, and he glanced at the emperor and Shen Yan, and the emotions in his heart fluctuated.

Although he did not directly confront Shen Yan, people with identity and strength in Jinling knew that he had been secretly targeting Shen Yan, but what he did was not so obvious, and he also wanted to hit it with one blow, otherwise, his situation is estimated to be no different from Huang Weimin and Lin Xiaotang.

If you let yourself give up suppressing Shen Yan so easily, let alone whether you can pass this level in your heart, the eldest prince will know about it afterwards, and he will not spare himself. But continuing to suppress Shen Yan doesn't seem to work, and he will even shoot himself in the foot, after all, Shen Yan is in the limelight right now, if he directly confronts Shen Yan, it is better to confront the emperor, thinking about this result makes people feel a tremble.

It seems that it is necessary for him to be a little more restrained, continue to secretly suppress Shen Yan, and let others be the first bird. At least, it can be seen through the emperor's reward that the emperor has not warned him for the time being, which is enough.
