On the day of the Great Pilgrimage, it is the Great Heat.

Under the scorching sun above their heads, the civil and military officials waited quietly in front of the vermilion palace gate. Before the hour came, the sun was already blazing.

Whether it is a civil official with a crane embroidered on his chest, or a military general with a unicorn embroidered on his chest, the thick official uniform on his body has been soaked by fine sweat.

Wei Ye was still holding a book, sitting under a big willow tree, raising his head, looking at the blazing sun, and muttering softly: "This ghost weather." ”

Beiyang attaches great importance to military merits, no matter how high your official position is and how brilliant your title is, it is not worth mentioning in front of the merits of Beiyang soldiers.

In this court meeting, not only civil officials, but even military generals have changed into official robes that have always been despised by them. Today's court meeting is a reward for meritorious generals, and in order to show respect, civil and military officials must wear court uniforms.

Despite the scorching sun on his head and sweating profusely, there was not a single official who complained.

About half a pillar of incense passed, and the vermilion door slowly opened. Many officials rushed in, and the wind was blowing under their feet.

On the top of the splendid hall, the north hall faces the south and the north, and looks at the civil and military officials.

Beitang Ciju and Beitang Jun stood at the front of the team, and Ye Junlin, Wang Bodang, and Wang Dashi stood behind Wei Ye.

Ye Junlin's mood was quite calm, after all, it was not the first time to go to court, and the tension in his heart was much more relieved. Compared with Ye Junlin, Wang Bodang was very uncalm, he lowered his head and didn't dare to look around. Wang Dashi was even more exaggerated, seeing that his legs were constantly trembling, and his body was constantly trembling, as if he was swinging.

Seeing this, Wei Ye smiled slightly.

After the hundred officials stood still, Beitangxiong cleared his throat and said loudly: "This time I went to the Southern Barbarians and returned with a great victory. Beiyang has always had clear rewards and punishments, and it attaches great importance to military merits, so it is specially selected today to reward meritorious deeds. ”

"The king is wise. ”

Hundreds of officials echoed, and the shouts shook the sky.

Bei Tangxiong paused and continued: "In this campaign, Wei Tingwei dragged Wang Yan and the 6,000 'Restoration Army' with his own strength, and killed one enemy general and 3,000 enemies. Hereby, Wei Ye was named 'Marquis of Haiqu', changed 'Tingwei' to 'Imperial Historian', in charge of the supervision of the world, and promoted to 'General of the Zhu State', in charge of the entire imperial city. ”

Beitangxiong's voice fell, and the entire court began to discuss.

The civil officials take the 'Three Princes (Prime Minister, Taiwei, and Imperial Historian) as the ultimate, and the military generals take the 'Pillar Kingdom' as the ultimate. Whether it is the 'Three Princes' or the 'Pillar Country', it is a point that many people dream of, and how many years they have been working hard, they may not be able to reach it.

And Wei Ye, a hairy boy who was not in time, held these two official positions of Xuanhe in his hands at the same time.

In the eyes of envy, jealousy and hatred of everyone, Wei Ye slowly walked out of the queue, knelt down on one knee and thanked him and said, "Minister Wei Ye, thank Wang Shanglongen." ”

Bei Tangxiong glanced at the eunuch on the side, and then the silver-haired Ren Ren Cat, carrying a tray, walked in front of Wei Ye.

"Congratulations to Wei Dazhuguo. Ren Ren Mao handed over the tray to Wei Ye's hand and congratulated from the bottom of his heart.

Wei Ye smiled lightly and bowed back: "Ren Mink Temple is polite." ”

In the tray, three items are neatly placed: the military talisman of the Great Pillar Kingdom, the jade seal and the ribbon of the Imperial Doctor.

Wei Ye got up to thank him, and then slowly walked into the queue.

Beitang Xiong bowed slightly, and then continued: "Before the entrance of the palace, kill the 'puppet king' Wang Liang with your own hands, and Ye Junlin should remember a great achievement. ”

Ye Junlin walked out slowly when he heard this, followed Wei Ye's example, and knelt on one knee.

"Canonized Ye Junlin as 'General Wei' and replaced Wei Ye to lead the Imperial Forest Army. In addition, the second-class title is hereby given as 'Marquis of Liuxian'. ”

When Ye Junlin heard this, he said loudly: "Thank you for your grace." ”

Then, slowly walk into the queue.

After that, Wang Bodang, Wang Dashi, Huangfu Tenghui and Huang Yuyang and others won different rewards.

The most surprising thing is that Beitang Xiong divided a small piece of land in the distant Sword County and named it 'Yan County', and Beitang Jun was named this 'Yan County Marquis'.

Everyone was shocked, and the people who were active had already guessed what was going on.

The reason is very simple: because of the second foal of Kitado, he did not receive any rewards.

There was a lot of discussion, and hundreds of officials scattered

In the evening, the whole 'Beiyang Restaurant' was brightly lit, and the cooks and servants were frantically busy, but there was no guest in the restaurant.

At the end of today's reward, the entire restaurant was booked by the son of the richest man in the dynasty - Ti million.

There is such an unwritten rule in the officialdom of Beiyang: whether officials are promoted or marquis, they must feast in the most expensive restaurant in Beiyang, so as to soothe the wounded hearts of those officials who have not been rewarded.

This regulation has a very long history, and even Wei Ye, who has always been outstanding, is not exempt from vulgarity.

Seeing his brothers, he paid homage to the generals, and he suddenly felt that he had a lot of face, and he was naturally not stingy with the big owner of the restaurant behind him.

So he waved his hand and helped his brother to set a banquet.

At the beginning of the lanterns, almost all the officials with heads and faces in the imperial city were present.

They raised their wine glasses one after another, patting the sycophants of Wei Ye, a 'young man' who was on the rise, and on the other hand, taking the opportunity of toasting, they were close to the 'upstart of officialdom' like Ye Junlin and Wang Bodang.

Wang Dashi, as a poor boy who came out of the side, was toasted by so many 'big officials' for the first time, and he was a little fluttery for a while. Constantly persuaded to drink, keep drinking, and after a while, Wang Dashi got drunk, hugged a wine jar, fell asleep in the corner of the wall, and the continuous snoring sound was like thunder.

Baiguan laughed loudly, and at the same time, in a more flattering manner, he was close to the second colt of the North Hall.

As long as you are not a fool, anyone can see that if nothing else, the next king of Beiyang will definitely be the second foal of Beitang.

Ti Million borrowed the strength of the wine, put aside the crowd and walked alone in front of Beitang Ciju, and said with a smile: "Brother, you said that you became the king of Beiyang, should you give my buddy and me a big official." ”

Beitang Jiju smiled lightly, then stroked Ti Wan's shoulder and smiled: "No problem, I will definitely make you a big official when the time comes." ”

"Okay, that's a deal. "The drunken one million is raised, and then two whites are floated

The restaurant is very lively, but the dormitory of Beitangjun is full of doors.

Beitang Jun sat on the throne, his face was extremely ugly, in front of him, there were four empty wine jars, he smiled drunkenly, and patted the back of the chair fiercely: "I'm unwilling, unwilling!"

Behind the throne, a dark shadow flashed, and he looked at Beitang Jun and smiled softly
