The kitchen of the new house did not open the fire, Zhang Yue brought a few military rations and dry cakes and half a pot of water for breakfast, sat in the carriage and finished eating, and then arrived in front of the right door. asked Zhang Zhixing to wait outside with the carriage, and only brought two personal soldiers into the city together, first went to the front of the palace to take a look, and saw several officials, including Li Chongjin, Zhang Yongde, He Jiyun and others, it was nothing more than some scenes.

Then there are the rewards of some meritorious officers, as well as the record of the roster, which is mainly the battalion commander level, and the promotion is only promoted to the rank of loose officer, unless the army is expanded, otherwise the main post cannot be promoted, which can be regarded as an efficient approval, and received a stack of blank papers, and a few boxes of reward money, brought back and filled in the name of the junior officer, and printed and issued it.

In less than half a year, Zhang Yue has risen all the way, ranking below the fifth grade, although he is only a loose official, but it is also eye-catching, and everyone is clamoring for him to have a treat. Zhang Yue had nothing to do with it, and dealt with it boldly, and after chatting for a while, they went to work on their own affairs.

Li Chongjin's attitude was much better this time, and when he heard that Zhang Yue wanted to enter the palace to thank him, he actually patted him on the shoulder very enthusiastically, saying that he was also going to enter the palace, but he could take him with him. All the way through the Yuehua Gate and the Xuanyou Gate, and arrived at a small side hall called the Hall of Grace, the small yellow gate that led the way went first to report, and the two were waiting outside.

Today is not the day of the court meeting, and the little yellow gate soon came out and said that the emperor passed on both of them to enter. Li Chongjin walked in front, Zhang Yue took a step behind, and entered the hall together, to the warm pavilion at the back, this room was small and exquisite, but the light was a little dim.

An old eunuch stood in the shadow of a corner, and he would not have been noticed unless he had approached. Under the high bookshelf against the wall is a long stilt case, Guo Wei is dressed in a somewhat faded purple robe, without a head, because his hair is gray, and the bun is also black and white, and he is tied with an ebony hairpin.

"The ministers have seen Your Majesty!"

Seeing the two of them come in to salute, Guo Wei put down the book in his hand and raised his head, a smile appeared on his thin and rigid face, and waved his hand to greet: "There are no outsiders here, no need to be formal, just sit down!" ”

The two still saluted respectfully, and Zhang Yue saw that Li Chongjin walked to the side and sat on the low couch, so he also went over and sat down. When Li Chongjin saw him coming, the corners of his mouth twitched, but he didn't say anything.

"Your Majesty, the number of the troops in front of the palace is a little messy, and there is a shortage of horses, and the cavalry is still too few, which is far from the military strength of the guard division. According to the precedent, the left and right compartments of the crane control are considerable, and the military capacity of the fourth squad at the bottom of the small is considerable, and these will not be adjusted for the time being, but there are still scattered heads, scattered personnel, scattered commands, etc., whether to remove the essence and merge them? Li Chongjin said tentatively.

"Some have specific responsibilities that are not easy to organize for the time being, you can see the situation and agree on the next chapter, and I will decide again after considering one or two!" Guo Wei said casually, with some indispensable meaning in his tone.

The number of the front division of the palace is indeed messy, but the purpose of chaos is also chaotic, with the establishment of "scattered", most of them are the grace of the ministers behind the door, or the new meritorious soldiers, mainly to shield them out, in order to maintain the independence of the front division of the palace, if these scattered numbers are merged, all parties will hear the wind and intervene in it, and the army of the front division of the palace will not be pure. But it's still okay to intentionally absorb some fresh blood.

"Yes! Nachen set out to deal with it! Li Chongjin got up and saluted, glanced at Zhang Yue, took a few steps back, and turned to go out.

"I only came back yesterday afternoon, so I came to see me in such a hurry, can the affairs of the family be taken care of?" Guo Wei was smiling and his tone was kind.

"It's not so fast, halfway first, I sent someone back to buy a house at Zhouqiao, and just moved in, my father and second brother at home haven't picked it up yet!" Zhang Yue replied truthfully.

"It's thoughtful, this errand is well done, I specially prepared a mansion for you, and you bought it yourself." Guo Wei said with a joke, and said with a smile: "But I still have an errand here, if you do it well, it will not be too late to reward you!" ”

"Your Majesty's great kindness, the end will not be repaid, I am willing to go to the soup and the fire, and I can't give up!" Zhang Yue stood up and solemnly bowed.

"Excuse me? You can talk. In less than half a year, you will be promoted to the fifth grade, which is a little faster, but this is all earned by yourself, I am also a new member of the army at your age, but I am a soldier, you have to be an honest person, do things honestly, don't worry about this little favor, understand? ”

A person who knows how to be grateful is usually not too bad, Guo Wei seems to be in a good mood, and he actually taught earnestly.

"The last general will remember His Majesty's words of Chrysostom!" Zhang Yue grinned, very moved in his heart.

"The original Chu army surrendered to Liu Yan and Wang Jinkui to Shun, I have issued an order to canonize, a few days ago Tanzhou Wang Jinkui went up again, the Southern Han Liu clan sent troops to occupy Guiguan, went deep into the territory of Yongzhou to loot and loot, has negotiated with Liu Yan, sent He Jingzhen, Zhu Yuanxiu, Chen Shun, etc., to lead tens of thousands of land and water troops to the south to face the battle, what do you think of their victory?"

"It's hard to say...... Liu Yan and Wang Jinkui's armies have not experienced many battles, and last year they drove away the Southern Tang Army, just bluffing, they scared away Bian Hao and Song Dequan, and they did not fight a hard battle, and after the war, they expanded nearly half of the new soldiers, if they are properly employed, they can be undefeated! Zhang Yue replied cautiously, he hadn't heard of this yet, and now he was just guessing.

"Forget it...... I won't talk about the previous things, I don't have time, this time the errand is not in a hurry, you can take it back and see it. Other than that! The Marquis of Taiyuan is about to return to Beijing, so if you have time, ask for advice, and he will instruct you how to do it! After Guo Wei finished speaking, he took out a copy of the edict that had been prepared a long time ago and put it on the table.

The Marquis of Taiyuan County is the adopted son of Guo Wei, the nephew of the Shengmu Empress Chai, Chai Rong, is now the identity of the prince, changed his father's surname to Guo Rong, and the official was appointed as the assassin of Lanzhou, and the envoy of the Zhenning Military Festival.

These Zhang Yue knew and heard a lot, and the emperor asked him to wait to see Guo Rong, obviously intending to cultivate confidants for Guo Rong to ascend to the throne, and he couldn't help but look forward to it a little in his heart.

When the old eunuch standing next to him saw it, he immediately stepped forward to pick it up and handed it over. Zhang Yue stretched out his hand to take it, and saluted respectfully, and then withdrew. The little yellow door standing outside the door took the initiative to lead the way, and he didn't say a word, and sent him outside the Xuanyou Gate.

Zhang Yue thought that it was very hard to kill the eunuch, so he stuffed a gold coin for him to cover it with his sleeve robe. Xiao Huangmen is young, and his temperament is still innocent, so he is a little embarrassed, and he actually wants to return it to him.

Zhang Yue refused, he reluctantly put it into his sleeve pocket, and said gratefully: "I am from Hedong, my name is Dong Guangmai, thank you General Zhang for your kindness, I will accept it, if I meet it next time, I will run errands for you again!" ”

"Look at your hard work, people will reward you if you are honest, no thanks!" Zhang Yue was in a good mood and said with a smile that he was amused by the name of this little yellow door.

When Dong Guang heard this, he suddenly felt extremely proud, and his demeanor was a little pinched, no wonder the officials appreciated it, this chapter of the general is good!

Out of the forbidden middle school of the imperial city, I saw that the sky was still a little gloomy, and the hour was still early, Zhang Zhixing was still sitting on the wheel and waiting, so he immediately drove the carriage over. Perhaps it was because the brick and stone paved ground of the city was too flat, and the boy's driving skills were not yet in place, so he ran a long way before he reined in his horse and stopped the car.

The carriage has no brakes and shock absorption, and it takes time to become proficient in catching up with the car, Zhang Yue didn't bother to say him, so he stepped forward and got into the car, thinking that he had promised to invite guests in the morning in front of the palace, but fortunately, he didn't say the specific time, go back and pick a time to prepare the invitation, now let's see what the will says.

This is a commendation and encouragement of the commission system, since it is a book, of course, it is the emperor's personal decree, in the Zhou Dynasty called for orders, after the unification of Qin, changed the order to the system, has been used until now.

The front is to praise him for handling the Tangzhou case, and suggest the issuance of gold coins, the attack on Yuezhou, etc., and the latter is to appoint him as the border inspection envoy of Yan and Qing Prefectures, and Zong Jingcheng as the deputy envoy, who can take up his post on his own day, and finally gave a few words of encouragement.

The inspector is also a bad official, not a regular position, so there is no formal rank. The scope of the grant is the state where it is located, and its functions are mainly responsible for assisting local law and order, inspecting trade and smuggling, and consolidating border defense.

After having Feng Qianhou as a staff member, Zhang Yue now has a basic understanding of the territory and official system of the Great Zhou, he is no stranger to border inspection, he served in the border inspection station in later generations, and now he can be regarded as returning to his old job, but I don't know if he can bring his own headquarters to take office.

He doesn't know much about Gyeongju, as for Yanzhou, for the soldiers born under the red flag, it is really not too famous, that is, Yan'an in later generations, I only heard that the situation is not very good now, there is a party item in the north Li Yiyin often enters the country to plunder, and Gao Yunquan, the envoy of Zhangwu Jiedu, was originally a local township tyrant, and he is not good at the military, and he is very incompetent. Of course, there may also be ulterior motives.
