"Ladies and gentlemen, I have made such a great contribution to breaking the military camp, how do I think I should reward them? Especially Chen Pojun, this is the first merit of this expedition to Liao, and I must reward him well. After Yang Guang returned to the throne, he stroked his long beard with his hand, looked at the ministers below and asked. At this time, he was no longer bored for half a minute, and his heart was full of confidence in the victory of the Eastern Expedition to Goguryeo.

Pei Shiju and Pei Yun are both the leaders of the Pei family's gate valve, and the two quietly looked at each other, and they both had ideas in their hearts. Pei Shiju came out and said, "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that General Chen not only bravely runs through the three armies, but also understands the art of war. Lao Chen felt that General Chen not only broke the enemy's 10,000 troops this time, but also captured nearly 20,000 enemies, and even captured a fortified city. Not to mention the fact that he also pressed more than 200,000 precious grains and grass, as well as a lot of ordnance and utensils for our army, and also captured a prince of Goguryeo. Lao Chen believes that such a kind of work deserves the position of a doctor of Jin Ziguanglu. ”

As soon as Pei Shiju's words fell, several ministers in the account shook their heads, especially Su Wei, who was in his eighties and was a political tumbler, sighed in his heart. It seems that today's Chen Pojun, who has made great contributions, is jealous. This Golden Purple Guanglu Doctor is a third-grade position, and in terms of grade, it is the same level as the major generals of the Twelve Guards and Four Mansions. But in fact, everyone who knows knows that it is not the same thing at all, and there is a big cat in it.

Most of the official system of the Great Sui Dynasty followed the Northern Zhou system, and officials with specific ministries were called ministry officials, and those without specific ministries were called scattered officials. It is specially used to confer on those civil and military officials with high moral character and reputation, but these official positions are all indifferent, that is, idle positions.

In the third year of the Great Cause, the emperor changed many official systems, merging the original 16-rank officials and 11-rank officers, and the dismissed posts after the merger were also divided into nine ranks, the highest being the Guanglu doctor from the first rank, and the lowest being the Lixin Captain from the ninth rank. And now the doctor Jin Ziguanglu mentioned by Pei Shiju is the fourth-ranked official name of Zhengsanpinsan, with a good name, but he does not have half of the real job. In later generations, it is like when a secretary of the municipal party committee did a good job, he was suddenly promoted to a level and transferred to the province as the deputy director of the provincial people's congress. One is a position of real power, and one is a big member. One is just an idle job for the elderly in a nursing home, and since then it means that he has taken a back seat.

Now Pei Shiju's idea is this, and before he knows whether Chen Kefu can use it for himself, he will temporarily refrigerate him. From a general with real power to a general with real power, he has become an idle adviser who can only follow the emperor every day. When they tame Chen Kefu and can have it for themselves, then let him go out and lead the troops.

Yu Wenshu has always remembered this nominal subordinate, and he has always been thinking of ways to win over Chen Kefu. And he has always come with Pei Valve, and when he saw that Pei Shiju wanted to stumble, he immediately stood up.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that although Chen Kefu has made great contributions this time, it is just a victory. Think of me Da Sui, His Majesty the Emperor's martial arts are outstanding, the southern and northern wars, the destruction of countless clans and broken the country, now Chen Kefu is just a small city, if Your Majesty rewards him with a three-grade high-ranking official, if you win any more battles in the future, how will Your Majesty reward it? Moreover, this Chen Kefu is only twenty-three years old this year, too young, Your Majesty might as well let him sharpen it again, and he will definitely be able to make new contributions to my Great Sui in the future. ”

Yu Wenshu is also very smart, and he didn't directly say that Dr. Jin Ziguanglu is an idle job. Instead, it is the other way around, saying that the official is too high, and the person is too young to be suitable. Let's go up slower, and the official will be smaller.

But as soon as his words came out, all the ministers understood what he meant. Yang Guang stroked his long beard and said with a smile, "The position of Doctor Jin Ziguanglu is indeed not very suitable, does General Yuwen have any good proposals?" ”

Yuwenshu arched his hand and said, "Your Majesty, now that our army is marching east to Goguryeo, we are in need of a fierce general like Chen Kefu, a wise general. It just so happens that the two generals of Zuo Yiwei and Zuo Yiwei have been vacant, and now Chen Kefu happens to be a member of Zuo Yiwei, why doesn't Your Majesty mention him as General Zuo Yiwei. In this way, it shows the emperor's grace, and it will not bury his skills. If Chen Kefu is my general Zuo Yiwei, my Zuo Yiwei will definitely be able to make new contributions to His Majesty. ”

When all the ministers heard Yuwen's words, they were all surprised, and they all exchanged their heads. Although Pei Shiju mentioned a third-grade official just now, no one took it seriously, because even if the emperor really rewarded Chen Kefu with that official position, it would be just a scattered official, and there was no meaning except for being able to receive more money. But this position of General Zuo Yiwei is not an idle position.

The 12 Wei 4 Mansions of the Sui Dynasty, collectively referred to as the 16 Wei Mansions, each Wei has a general, two generals, four Wu Benlang generals, and six Wu Yalang generals. This general is equivalent to the commander of the military region, and he is second only to the prime minister as a general of the third grade, and the two generals are equivalent to the chief of staff and political commissar of the military region. Wu Benlang, who is equivalent to the commander of the group army, will be the fourth rank, and the six Wu Yalang who are equivalent to the deputy military rank will be from the fourth rank.

Originally, Chen Kefu was an eagle general, and he was a five-grade general, which was estimated to be equivalent to a division commander's level. That is still far under the general Wu Yalang from the fourth grade, and now it is okay, Yuwenshu directly proposed to Chen Kefu to be appointed as the chief of staff of the military region, which is a three-level promotion. And such a position is generally equivalent to the reserve of the general, and the next step is to transfer to the position of the general.

A third-grade Jin Ziguanglu doctor belongs to the kind of person who drinks tea at home and waits for death, while a general Zuo Yiwei who is from the third grade is the second-in-command of Zuo Yiwei, one of the sixteen guards in the country, and his soldiers account for almost one-twelfth of the country. It's not up to him to have the final say, but it's almost there.

If it is just a small official who is promoted to three levels in a row, then everyone will not say anything, after all, the emperor looks at him pleasing to the eye. However, a Zheng Wupin, who is equivalent to Zhongjun Taishou, was suddenly promoted to three levels, and became an official at the same level as the secretary and secretary of one of the three central provinces, which made many officials in the big account who had been in the big account for almost a lifetime and had never mixed up with the third grade.

However, Yang Guang didn't seem to feel that there was anything wrong here, and nodded and said, "What Yuwen Aiqing said is very reasonable!" ”

Since the establishment of the Sui Dynasty, since the first emperor, the emperor has continued to suppress the family gate valve, not only abolishing the Jiupin Zhongzheng system, but also creating a imperial examination that can allow all the poor families in the world to have the opportunity to be officials. Not only that, but Yang Guang often overstepped the level to promote some poor disciples. For example, yesterday's Xiaoguo Shen Guang was unusually promoted by His Majesty to be a martial arts general from the fifth grade. Now it seems that His Majesty the Emperor wanted to promote this young man who had no half-foundation this time, and he just said it through the mouth of Lord Yuwen. For a while, everyone had nothing to say except for expressing envy and jealousy for Chen Kefu, who had been lucky twice in a row.

Pei Yun and Pei Shiju were a little unwilling to look at each other, if this time the matter was really decided like this, then Chen Kefu would definitely have a grudge against them in the future, and maybe he would fall to the opponent Yuwen family, which they could not tolerate.

Pei Yun walked out and said, "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that although he has made a great contribution to the destruction of the military camp this time, his own casualties have also been reduced by more than one-third. They shouldn't have been left out to guard the new city. The minister thought that in order to break the barracks of the meritorious soldiers, why didn't His Majesty let Dr. Guanglu and General Pei Renji, the general of Zuo Wuwei, lead the troops to replace them, and let General Chen Kefu lead the troops to escort the captured grain and grass equipment back to the camp. And although General Chen Kefu is brave, he is too young after all. The minister thought that it was a little inappropriate to let him be in the position of general of Zuo Yiwei, and he thought that it was better to promote him to the general of the Zhengsi Zuo Beishen Mansion and let him lead the Xiaoguo, and protect His Majesty's side left and right, and he could also learn some military art from His Majesty by the way, and sharpen it for a few more years. If you feel that the reward is too light, Your Majesty can reward him with the silver and green light Lu doctor from the third grade, and give more gold field slaves, which can also show the emperor's grace even more. ”

Pei Yun's mind is very simple, even if he can't stop the emperor from rewarding Chen Kefu, it can't let him throw himself into the opponent's door. Directly promoted him to the general of the Zuo Bei Shen Mansion, the Zuo Bei Shen Mansion is the emperor's side of the guard, and does not command the government soldiers. This can be regarded as preventing him from getting together with Yuwenshu.

Yang Guang sat on the throne and glanced at the generals in the tent, and was very satisfied with this proposal in his heart. In this way, Chen Kefu is completely by his side, and he can completely cultivate this fierce general who has no foundation to be his henchman. Although Yuwenshu can be regarded as his confidant, the power of the Yuwen family is now a little too big, and he has to guard against it. If Chen Kefu was not born in poverty, if he was born in a noble, Yang Guangdu would consider marrying his second daughter, who was just thirteen years old, to Chen Kefu. But thinking about Chen Kefu's background, Yang Guang still gave up that plan. When the emperor's daughter marries, she considers more of a union of political interests than so casually.

"Okay, the Ying Yanglang of the broken military camp will run Chen Pojun bravely through the three armies, and it is even more rare to be resourceful. With 3,000 enemies, he defeated 10,000 people, and even captured a big city, 10,000 cattle and horses, more than 200,000 stones of grain, countless equipment, and a population of tens of thousands. I am very happy, and now I am specially allocated to the doctor from the third grade of silver Qingguanglu, the fourth grade of the left body of the mansion is the fourth grade of the Lang general, the first seat of the Eastern Capital Mansion, the reward of 1,000 taels of gold, 10,000 pieces of money, 10 tilts of the field, and 100 slaves. On the same day, the broken military camp will escort all the prisoners in the new city, the population of Goguryeo, as well as military equipment, grain and grass back to the camp, and all the soldiers in the broken military camp will be promoted to one level, and the team will be rewarded with 500 copper coins and 100 acres of land. The following guards of the team were rewarded with 100 yuan, 20 acres of land, and meritorious guards were appointed as team leaders and team deputies. All the 3,000 soldiers in Zuo Yiwei's military camp were transferred to Zuo Beishenfu, and they were still under the command of Chen Kefu. ”

All the ministers who listened to this reward were all hot-eyed, not only this Chen Kefu was rewarded, but the entire broken military camp was rewarded. When the Pei family heard that the three thousand soldiers and horses were still under the command of Chen Pojun, although they were still a little unhappy in their hearts, but these three thousand soldiers were originally Zuo Yiwei's, and this time it was equivalent to taking away the three thousand elite soldiers from Yuwenshu at once, and their hearts were balanced a lot for a while. They didn't take advantage, at least Yu Wenshu was more unlucky than them, and directly accompanied his wife and folded another 3,000 soldiers.
