Chen Yaozuo is not in the army today, but in his own Jingluo Mansion, Li Ce came to the Jingluo Mansion, entered the door and found that the door of the main hall was open, and heard Chen Yaozuo roaring from a distance, it seems that Chen Yaozuo is losing his temper, he can't help frowning, it seems that the old man is not in a good mood.

At this time, Chen Yaozuo was walking around the hall constantly, and there was another person next to him, dressed in a dark red robe and a black gauze hat, his body was a little fat, his face was very white, and he seemed to be a person from officialdom. The man stood aside and folded his hands in resignation, keeping his head down and not speaking.

Chen Yaozuo just turned around, and when he saw Li Ce, his face seemed to be better, and he reluctantly smiled and stepped forward to beckon Li Ce in.

Li Ce didn't know why Chen Yaozuo was so angry, so he asked cautiously: "I don't know why the Lord sent me today?" ”

Chen Yaozuo sighed and said, "Alas, it was originally a good thing, but you see ...... now" Speaking of this, he glanced back at the middle-aged man standing there, and his gaze didn't seem to be very friendly.

Chen Yaozuo continued: "On that day the Liao thieves invaded, you used the power of one person to stop the Liao soldiers, save the dangerous city, and made a great contribution. ”

Li Ce was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly said, "This is a good thing." ”

Chen Yaozuo saw Li Ce's happy face, sighed and said, "Alas, in fact, I am also to blame for this...... I thought that the imperial court would award you an eight-rank Xuanlang Lang, and no matter how bad it was, it would reward you with the position of a nine-grade Chenglang, but who knew that it was a commander! ”

Li Ce was puzzled: "How many rank officials is the commander?" ”

Chen Yaozuo shook his head and said: "It is a position in the army, and the official position of the loose official is the captain of Zhiguo." ”

Li Ce didn't understand these ancient official positions, and he blinked his eyes when he heard the words and asked embarrassedly, "This ...... Can you elaborate on that? ”

Chen Yaozuo sighed again and explained: "The establishment of the army is based on the commander and the army as a unit, and five hundred people are one commander, and its commander is the commander. ”

Li Ce was extremely happy when he heard this: "Isn't this higher than the official position of Lao Shizilang, why is your lord sighing and dissatisfied?" ”

Chen Yaozuo looked at Li Ce with a complicated expression, and said after a pause: "You don't know, this commander is a military attache official position, although the rank of the captain of Zhiguo is a seven-rank official, but our Great Song Dynasty, since the opening of the Taizu Dynasty, has always been heavy on literature and suppression of martial arts, and there is even a saying in this Beijing that "military attaches see civil officials are three levels shorter", which shows that martial artists are not welcomed. ”

"Oh, there's such a relationship, then...... Nominally, it's not an official position or this Zhiguo Lieutenant is high, that's it, I'm quite satisfied, from a white body, all of a sudden to a seven-grade official, haha......" This guy said happily, he didn't know much about the bureaucratic system in the Northern Song Dynasty, and he didn't see it as thoroughly as Chen Yaozuo, he only knew that he was an official, and he was still a seven-rank official, so he was still extremely happy in his heart.

Chen Yaozuo looked at Li Ce at this time as if he was looking at an idiot, and he smiled helplessly: "You are free and easy, don't you know that you have been branded as a martial artist since then?" In the future, when you enter the court, those high-ranking literati may not be willing to accept you. ”

"Oh, the court, that has to be a very far thing, I have never thought of seeing the emperor as a seven-rank official, what about his martial arts and humanities, if I want me to say that it doesn't matter if it is a white cat or a black cat, it is a good cat to catch mice." Li Ce blinked and said seriously.

Chen Yaozuo's eyes lit up, and he laughed: "It doesn't matter if it's a white cat or a black cat, if you can catch a mouse, it's a good cat, and it's not rough!" Ahem...... You're really different. ”

Li Ce's original intention in saying this was that if you are a civil and military official, you can do it if you are an official, and if you are an official, you will have benefits, which seems to be different from what Chen Yaozuo understood......

Chen Yaozuo swept away his gloomy expression, patted Li Ce, and laughed heartily.

Seeing that Chen Yaozuo's face had improved, the fat white man next to him hurriedly stepped forward and asked with a smile, "Lord Chen, is the miscellaneous family going to make a decree?" ”

As soon as this person opened his mouth, his voice was extremely soft but very sharp, like a woman, Li Ce realized that he was a eunuch, no wonder he always felt a little awkward.

It was the first time he saw a real eunuch, so he couldn't help but look at it twice, and then he looked at it carefully, and said in his heart: That's it, you can't see what is missing, and it looks the same from the outside......

This person's name is Sun Desheng, he is a eunuch in the palace, and he was ordered to come to announce the decree and reward this time, which was a beautiful matter, he thought that he could make a little benefit, but he didn't expect that somehow, Chen Yaozuo suddenly became angry, and he didn't say anything about the benefits, and was threatened to be dragged out to beat a military stick.

Sun Desheng knew that Chen Yaozuo had always said the same, and he didn't know where he offended him, he was so submissive and angry on the side just now that he didn't dare to speak, but now he gradually understood what was going on.

He saw that Chen Yaozuo didn't seem to be as hot as just now, so he had the courage to step forward to speak, after all, he came to announce the decree this time, even if he was afraid that Chen Yaozuo would beat him with a military stick, he couldn't have a decree that would not be announced, so that the Queen Mother and His Majesty would not kill him after going back, there was no way that the butt and the head were more important than the head.

Chen Yaozuo glared angrily and said, "What Xuan?" Are you in such a hurry to be reincarnated!? ”

Sun Desheng hurriedly smiled and said: "Where, where, how dare the miscellaneous family?" You say, you say it first......" After speaking, he reluctantly stepped aside, while looking at Chen Yaozuo cautiously, secretly observing his face.

Seeing this scene, Li Ce hurriedly explained: "My lord, my father-in-law also has a life, so we have to do it as a last resort, so let's not be embarrassed for him, right?" On the other hand, I thought in my heart: There are many dreams at night, don't Chen Yaozuo make a mistake and return the reward to himself, who will he cry with at that time?

Chen Yaozuo shook his head and said dejectedly: "That's it, that's it, let's announce it." ”

Sun Desheng first threw a grateful look at Li Ce, then took a roll of yellow cloth, took a step forward with his head held high, and said in a long voice: "Chen Yaozuo, Li Ce take the order." ”

I only heard this Sun Desheng read clearly: under the door (the inherent format of the edict of the Song Dynasty), the day before yesterday, the Liao soldiers attacked my Zhending Mansion, and I was very worried, fortunately Chen Jingluo made a small envoy to sit in the dangerous city, dispatch troops, turn the tide, save the people in the fire and water, I am very happy, and I gave Chen Qing one hundred taels of gold, five hundred taels of silver, and one hundred acres of northwest land in the suburbs of Beijing as a reward. In addition, I heard that Li Ce had made outstanding military achievements in this Liao invasion, and in order to regard it as a reward, Li Ce was specially promoted to commander, and he was crowned as a lieutenant of Zhiguo, and rewarded with 50 taels of gold and 100 taels of silver, hoping to continue to fight bravely against the enemy. The sergeants of Hebei West Road were rewarded with three taels of silver each, and the army was rewarded for three days......

Behind is what the emperor's grace is vast, the mandate of heaven and the like, Li Ce can't remember clearly, only remember that in addition to being an official, he also rewarded fifty taels of gold and two hundred taels of silver, although he has always been not very clear about the purchasing power of real gold and silver in the Great Song Dynasty, but in general, there are also numbers, so much gold and silver, how can it be equivalent to 1.8 million yuan.

So you said that you got out of poverty in an instant?! This emperor of the Great Song Dynasty is really generous, haha...... Suddenly, with so much money, Li Ce's first thought was that he could finally experience the feeling of a local tyrant. Oh, now I can be regarded as a person with an official position, and I have eaten the emperor's grain, and I will marry such a beautiful lady and hire a few little maids, haha, that happy little life seems to be right in front of me......
