The palace was opened in nine days, and all the nations were crowned with crowns. Wang Wei of the Tang Dynasty used his poems, like a paintbrush, to depict the center of power in the empire, the solemn scene of the court meeting. The guards wore red scarves and roosters sang a report that it was dawn, and the official in charge of the imperial uniform had just brought Cuiyunqiu into the palace. The doors of the forbidden gardens have been opened, and the civil and military officials and guest ministers have paid homage to the emperor and listened to the decree. The sun-obscuring fan moved forward in the morning light, and the light smoke of the incense burner rose against the emperor's dragon robe.

Although Chang'an is down, it has lost its graceful and luxurious bearing, but the scale of the ancient Xiongdu is still there, and the Taiji Hall of Weiyang Palace is not comparable to ordinary palace groups. At this time, in the main hall of 25 zhang long and 13 zhang wide, it was in the early dynasty, and the civil and military officials were arranged in two rows, all of them bowed and stood solemnly, but their eyes were focused on a person kneeling in the main hall.

"The emperor said: I have heard that the world is governed by literature, and the use of force is used in chaos. And the military commander will be the pillar of the imperial court and the dry city of the country. It is able to be both civil and military, and contribute to the service, how can it be that it is not praised for its achievements and favored it. ”

Under the throne, there are eunuchs holding holy decrees in their hands, reciting word by word, and the unique shrill voice echoes in the vast hall, which is particularly clear.

"Erlongxi is too guarded by Gaoyue, loyal and brave, and his heart is more than gold and stone. The thieves disturbed our Beijing division, and Er Fengzhao came to the east, destroyed the enemy in the wilderness and beheaded the rebel generals, and the country was honored. It is specially awarded Gao Yue as a free cavalry attendant, a doctor of Jin Ziguanglu, and a general of the west, supervising the military of Qinzhou, and entering the Marquis of Wu'an. Tin is armed with the country, and the power is Zhenyidi. Smoke with the pike of Zhaolu cloth, deeply love the Jun Lie of Yuanrong, Jiaer Guanrong, and Yongxi Tianpet. Erke is loyal to the country and trustworthy to the whole body, in order to negotiate with me. Chin this. ”

Gao Yue crouched down the steps, and sighed in his heart. Once again in the highest body of the state, but unlike in his previous life, this time, he is the unique and absolute protagonist, and everyone's eyes are attracted to him, including the emperor. At this moment, hearing the eunuch reciting the edict, Gao Yue listened attentively and captured the meaning of it.

Loose cavalry and Jin Ziguanglu doctors, since the Han Dynasty, have no real power, but are distinguished officials, often as the general minister's official and praise. But it is an indispensable rank of prestige for becoming a member of the court and an important minister in the world, which is the emperor's reward for him in his official position. General Zhengxi is second only to the third duke, and his military power is extremely heavy, so he can take charge of himself, which is an affirmation of him in his military position. And the Marquis of Wu'an, who has been directly promoted from the low-end title of the Marquis of Guanwai to the dignified Marquis of the Eight Classics, although they all have the word Marquis, it is simply incomparable, and it belongs to the promotion of leapfrogging.

In the early Jin system, the division of titles was stricter. In addition to the clan can be crowned as the prince of the county, many important ministers and elders of many countries, etc., at most they will be crowned dukes, such as Da Sima Shibao, the chariot general Chen Qian, Shangshu Ling Pei Xiu, Shizhong Xun Xun, Taifu Zheng Chong, Taibao Wang Xiang, Taiwei He Zeng, hussar general Wang Shen, Sikong Xun Mian, and Zhenbei general Wei Qian are all named dukes, and there are only a few dukes.

As for the general, but the marquis. Even famous generals like Yanghu Du Pre and Hu Fen Ma Long are just a marquis when they die. That is, at the end of the Jin Dynasty, the situation was turbulent, and the title of name * instrument was no longer as valuable as before, and most of those who made meritorious contributions were knighted by exception, but it has not yet reached the point of abuse. At present, the most powerful person in the court, Lu Yunsuo, who was leaned on by the emperor as a barrier, was only promoted to the title of county prince in the past two years, which is also the only two people in the current court.

However, compared with all the officials above, Gao Yue felt that the most important thing was the position of the military governor of Qinzhou. In the second year of Emperor Jian'an of the Han Dynasty, Yuan Shao was the general, and he gave the bow and arrow to supervise Ji, Qing, You, and the four states, which was the earliest to be seen in the historical books. Later, Cao Cao, Emperor Wu of Wei, took Cheng Yu as the lieutenant general, led Jiyin Taishou, and supervised Yanzhou affairs. In this way, the governor became the military governor who ruled the region, and was solely responsible for the military affairs of a certain area.

Sima Yan, Emperor Wu of the Jin Dynasty, once stipulated that "all governors know the military, assassinate history and govern the people, and each employs people". The division of military and political rule is clearly stipulated, which has a bit of the flavor of the dual position of a modern army commander and a political commissar. However, after Emperor Hui, the governor and the assassin history of the state where he was stationed, the governor and the assassin history, that is, the military and the people, there were no longer two supreme governors in a state.

Sima Bao, the king of Nanyang, originally served part-time as the assassin of Qinzhou, and also supervised the military affairs of Shaanxi, and was the highest military and political governor in the west of the imperial court. However, the Xiongnu army invaded Chang'an several times, and Sima Bao was passive, either sending a partial division to make a show and returning halfway, or simply not having a soldier and a soldier to Qin Wang, so the emperor Sima Ye had scolded him thousands of times in his heart, and more than once wanted to surrender the edict to seize the official to show punishment and revenge, but after all, there were some rat traps, and he had to swallow his anger.

This time the situation was even more critical, and Chang'an almost broke the city. Fortunately, Gao Yue relied on his sharp spirit and repelled the enemy army with one drum, so that the Beijing division broke the siege and turned the danger into safety. While being extremely grateful to Gao Yue, Sima Ye became more and more resentful that Sima Bao was a great clan domain, but he was not as reliable as a foreign minister, what do you really want you to do. But because of some scruples, it was not easy to turn his face immediately, so he left Sima Bao and the rest of the officials untouched, and only listed the position of the governor of Qinzhou separately and transferred it to Gao Yue.

Gao Yue keenly captured the subtlety. This is the emperor's support for him in terms of status, and it is the emperor's tacit approval or even secret approval, so that he may be qualified to fight against Sima Bao in the future, and even replace him.

Gao Yue bowed to the steps alone, and responded loudly: "Minister Gao Yue takes the order." Long live the Emperor! ”

A round of red sun rises, reflected in the Taiji Palace, and it looks even brighter. Sima Ye sat on the high throne, looked down at Gao Yue and received the holy decree, got up calmly, and suddenly felt a great increase in confidence, and even full of pride, as if he suddenly had the confidence to drive all the Huns away, and then be able to control the whole world in his hands.

After the luncheon, in the imperial study, the emperor took his seat, the two of them sat on the left, and Gao Yue sat on the right. The four of them were talking to each other.

Sima Ye was in a very good mood today. It's been a long time since he's been so relaxed. At this moment, after he sat on the bookcase, he took a sip of weak tea, cleared his throat, and said with a smile: "I just heard what Gao Qing said, and I was also very emotional in my heart. Qing was born in the mountains and wilderness, but he can always cherish his family and country, and he is very loyal to him. By the way, what is the army under the command of the Qing family called? ”

"Returning to Your Majesty, it's called the Death Army."

As soon as these words came out, the emperor and Koji Suo were both surprised and surprised. Suo Qi sighed: "Everyone is afraid of death. But the governor did the opposite, seeking death alone. But the more afraid of death, the more you can't hide, the more afraid you are of death, but you can forge ahead and survive in death. This means that it is worth the world's vigilance and deep thought. ”

Gao Yue said: "Yes." Under the command of the following officials, Zhou Panlong, brave is brave, the key is that he is a person who is not afraid of death. The sword and axe are added to the neck and ignore it, gritting his teeth and desperately trying to knock the enemy down before stopping. It was this spirit that Xia Guan praised and carried forward, so he directly promoted Zhou Panlong from Bai Ding to the commander of the death-seeking army, so that he could set an example for the army, and further drive and infect the soldiers below, so that he could fight against Hu Lu with indomitable indomitability. ”

"But is that the white-headed general I saw before? Sure enough, it's a heroic man! Sima Ye was already quite impressed by Zhou Panlong's strange appearance, and when he heard the words, he came to the spirit, and asked Zhou Panlong's situation again, and finally said: "I want to give Hu Ben Zhonglang the position of general, in order to reward him for his loyalty and bravery, what does Gao Qing want?" ”

"The minister thanked the emperor for Zhou Panlong!"

The emperor opened his mouth, where can he refuse. Gao Yue said in his heart, Zhou Panlong was lucky because of that white hair, and was remembered by the emperor in his heart. This time I went back, the relevant personnel appointments in Longxi were about to start to be replaced and transferred, at least Han Yong's position should be reconsidered, but it didn't matter, the key was to have a balance and stability.

"Your Majesty, in addition to Zhou Panlong, there is another general who came with him this time, named Lei Qizhi, who is also exceptionally loyal and brave. The two generals under the command of the minister are called brave, and the minister asks His Majesty to see that Lei Qizhi has also made some small contributions to the brave killing of the enemy, and commends them slightly, so as to boost morale and morale. ”

As the master, at the critical moment, he must also be able to think of his subordinates and strive for greater interests for them, so that he can combine grace and power and win people's hearts. It cannot be said that when you endure hardships and suffering, you will call people to rush up; When it comes to reaping dividends, pretend to be deaf and dumb, if it goes on like this for a long time, then no matter how capable people are, they don't want to follow you behind.

"Ahh It's easy to do. When Sima Ye heard this, it was just a small normal request, and he was just using his mouth to confer some official titles, and there was no problem at all. Besides, use the name to reward these people who have really made a lot of efforts, so that they can contribute more sincerely to the court next time, why not.

"That's it. Lei Qizhi was also awarded the title of Zhonglang General, well, it can be awarded to Huwei Zhonglang General. In addition, the subordinates of the Qing family, whether they are with the army or in Longxi, can be added to the rank and rank on the basis of merit, and the Qing family will first make a list, and wait for the second secretary of the Qing family to read it correctly, and then submit it to me for approval. ”

This is another good favor. Gao Yue hurriedly thanked him, and when he went back this time, he could justifiably promote his subordinates.
