The selection of officials in the Han Dynasty has always been in the form of promoting filial piety and honesty, and promoting filial piety and honesty is responsible for recommending local officials, and after entering Beijing, officials are appointed and dismissed according to their talents. Of course, there are some who are not from filial piety, such as Cai Yong. He was not promoted to filial piety, but because of his great reputation, he was directly recruited by Situ Qiaoxuan, one of the three dukes, as a subordinate of the emperor.

Strictly speaking, this kind of subordinate is very similar to the current chief secretary of Li Yi, and it is all provided by the recruiters themselves. However, because of the different statuses, after becoming the subordinate of the three dukes, it is easy to be promoted. or Cai Yong, who served as a county magistrate soon after being recruited, and later entered Beijing as Langzhong and so on.

He was promoted to filial piety or conscription, and was delegated to serve as a county magistrate or county magistrate. Immediately after entering the court, he served as a subordinate officer of each high-ranking official, and then slowly rose up from their respective systems.

The head of a county guard like Li Yi, generally speaking, should also be promoted to become the head of a county or an official position of similar level. But Li Yi's credit is there, although there is no system that indicates that the marquis cannot serve as a county commander, but the dignified county candidate serves as a county magistrate, no matter how you think about it......

And there is another reason, that is, most of the official positions that can be matched with Li Yi, the new champion Hou, are already manned, even if they are temporarily vacant, they are also for some people. Although the scholar group and the eunuch group are opposites, in the scholar group, each scholar doctor also has to think about the future of his protégé.

Although Li Yi is a disciple of Huangfu Gui and Zhang Huan, and he is half of Qiao Xuan's protégé, the first two have died of illness, and the latter is only recuperating every day with an official title. It's naturally okay to sell face, but to take out the things in your hands, obviously the vast majority of people are unwilling.

When everyone was talking, Qiao Xuan, who had been silent for a long time, jumped out again, "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that since Li Zikang thinks that the county candidate, he should naturally have a matching official position." But he is still young, whether it is governing the local government or becoming an official, he is not suitable for ......"

"That's what the ministers mean......" Seeing Qiao Xuan coming up, many scholars and doctors wisely chose to throw this question to Qiao Xuan. After all, Li Yi is half of his protégé, so naturally he should be promoted. And looking at his appearance, you know that he already has an idea, so why is he having a headache over there? And even if Qiao Xuan proposes an official position that they are not satisfied with, they can oppose it.

"Then what kind of official position does Qiao Aiqing think should be given to me, a great hero?" Liu Hong asked with a smile when he heard this.

The minister thought that Li Zikang was a talented general, and this defense against the Xianbei invasion was the best proof. In this case, it is better to seal him a military position. Qiao Xuan looked at Liu Hong and said respectfully. In the past, after Huo Qubing was named the champion Hou, he was still the captain of Bi Yao under the command of the general. Captain Yao is an official position of more than 2,000 stones, and in the official position of more than 2,000 stones, the minister thinks that the Xiongnu Zhonglang will be the most in line with Li Zikang's current situation. ”

"No! Although the official rank of the Xiongnu Zhonglang General is the same level as that of Captain Yao Yao, the position of the Hun Zhonglang General is too special, and it was because of Zhang Xiu's affairs a few years ago...... Moreover, for many years in this dynasty, once there is a war in the north, it is to protect the Huns Zhonglang will supervise Wuheng, Qiang, Duliao and even You, He, and Liang Prefectures, this right is too great! As soon as the words fell, Taiwei Yang Ci raised his voice against it.

"Hmm...... What Yang Aiqing said is not wrong......" Liu Hong nodded when he heard this.

During the Western Han Dynasty, General Youdu Liao was responsible for the defense of the entire northern Han Dynasty and the relations with the northern ethnic groups. It was only in the Eastern Han Dynasty that for some reason gradually this right came into the hands of the Xiongnu generals. In addition to the Southern Xiongnu, General Du Liao was in charge of the defense and foreign affairs of the Bingzhou region and the surrounding areas.

Such an important position, not to mention Yang Ci and other scholars, even Liu Hong could not hand over such an important position to Li Yi. Even if he didn't need to command the Wuheng battalions to fight against foreign tribes for the time being, Liu Hong was not at ease just by letting him be responsible for dealing with the Southern Huns.

Qiao Xuan didn't care about Yang Ci's objection, but said unhurriedly, "In this case, the minister thinks that Li Zikang can be appointed as the general of Duliao!" General Du Liao is now in charge of the defense around Bingzhou, which can be said to be mainly to guard against the Xianbei people, so that Li Zikang's prestige in the Xianbei place can be fully utilized. Moreover, General Duliao is an independent camp, stationed in Manbo County, Wuyuan County, whether the Huns move or the Xianbei people invade the dynasty again, Li Zikang can immediately lead the army to support......"

"General Duliao......" Liu Hong muttered to himself when he heard this, and then turned his head to look at the many scholars and doctors and asked, "What do the Qing family think?" ”

"The ministers think that what Qiao Tai said is extremely true!" After a little discussion, everyone responded in unison.

Although General Du Liao is a general officer, his authority is no different from that of Captain Wuheng. Moreover, it is very suitable to build a camp alone to defend against the invasion of the Xianbei people, judging from Li Yi's age and talent.

There is another reason, that is, the position of General Du Liao has been vacant for too long, and this situation is not actually because Liu Hong does not want to send people, but because no one wants to go. After all, Xianbei goes south every year, and as a general of Duliao, he naturally has to be responsible for resisting. But are Xianbei people so easy to dismiss?

Of course, there are still many people who want to lead troops to resist Xianbei, but those who are qualified to become the general of Duliao are basically gone. And now the emergence of Li Yi is undoubtedly a good choice.

The Duliao camp is built independently and directly belongs to the emperor, so naturally it has nothing to do with anyone. He only needs to be responsible for defending against the Xianbei people in the state defense area, and with the military exploits that Li Yi has just made, it seems that he can also be competent. Well? What about foreign affairs in and around the state?

In fact, now in Bingzhou, most of the foreigners are the Huns who went south to rely on the Han Dynasty in the past, and this kind of thing is naturally under the jurisdiction of the Hun Zhonglang General. As for those few Xianbei, Wuheng and other tribes...... Basically, the previous generals of Duliao did not care.

Moreover, although General Duliao held military power, the number and use were controlled by the imperial court. Although the official rank is higher than that of the county guard, the actual power is far less than that of the local county guard. In addition, Duliaoying is located in Manbo County, Wuyuan County, even if anything bad happens, the surrounding counties will take the lead in dealing with it, and the harm will be difficult to expand.

Seeing that everyone had no objections, Liu Hong immediately ordered Li Yi to be the champion marquis, 2,500 households, a reward of 500,000 yuan, and appointed the general of Duliao, appointing and dismissing the commanders and military commanders under his command, and asked Li Yi to reorganize the Liao camp and expand it to 5,000 people.
