Chapter 405: On Meritorious Deeds

"Li Yu, the son of the Marquis of Wu'an, made a meritorious contribution to the rescue, gave him the captain of the horse, and married Princess Zhuang Ning...... Chin this! ”

……

After confirming the news brought by Zhong Feng, Li Yu rushed to Daming Palace non-stop and met him in Hanyuan Palace.

As a result, he saw that Emperor Delong was promoted to the court for the first time in more than 20 years, and he was convening hundreds of civil and military officials, and the palace announced the marriage agreed before.

He was using this as a reward for himself, and at the same time, he was also officially announcing to the Manchu Dynasty that the Wu'an Hou lineage had become a member of the royal faction!

In the eyes of insiders, this is something that has been determined before, and there is nothing surprising, but more people are not so well-informed, and they can't help but sigh with emotion.

Sure enough, after Li Yu received the decree and thanked him, he immediately received a second holy decree.

"Wu'an Hou Li Xin was promoted to the commander of the Demon Suppression Division, and concurrently led the Law Enforcement Hall and the Wind Catching Hall. The horse Li Yu was promoted to the position of commander and led the head of the Shadow Hall......"

Previously, Li Yu had already been the chief officer of the Ministry of Health from the fourth grade, and the envoy of Wei Zhen, but now the official has been promoted to one level and has reached the command of the officer, which looks like an ordinary and unremarkable upgrade.

But in fact, this is a key step from the "middle to high-level" to the "high-level", and ordinary people cannot cross it without their background.

Because what he is facing is not a question of one level or another, but a whole class of steps.

That's the ceiling of life!

However, Li Yu sat in the high-level position of the Demon Suppression Division before he was crowned and even the conditions for formal admission in the procedure had not yet been met.

This is a gap that is simply not comparable.

At this time, he was only the leader of one of the six halls, but in terms of power and position, he was far from being comparable to ordinary hall masters.

Even if Du Zhi and Xiong Li were resurrected before, in the face of such young colleagues, they had to avoid their edge.

At this moment, everyone understood that this Demon Suppression Division was really going to be handed over to Wu'anhou and his son to take charge.

To be precise, it was Emperor Delong who had completed his layout in the division and successfully turned the people in power, Wu Anhou and his son, into his own people, so it was necessary to expand the authority in their hands and effectively control this department.

In addition, Emperor Delong had a third decree proclaimed.

As expected, this time, it was a collective promotion and salary increase.

The legal income of the Marquis of Wu'an Mansion on the surface is the food Lu thousand stones brought by the title, and in the forty-second year of Delong, he was specially given a thousand stones of Jialu, and now he has added Lu again, which is an annual salary of three thousand stones.

Li Yu also had 1,200 stone annuals at once because of his identity as a lieutenant and his rescue skills, plus the first merit in solving the disaster of giants.

This is not counting the salary of the official position.

Of course, whether it is Li Yu's father and son or other people who are in the line of duty, most of them do not rely on these fortunes to live, and what everyone really values is the distribution and authority of some foreign treasures other than the public decree.

But those are not so easy to put on the table, and there may be some treacherous secrets that have been sealed for a long time.

Therefore, everyone quickly shifted their attention to another matter, that is, the promotion of the former second assistant, Lord Yan, to the first assistant.

In addition, it is the decision to fully liberalize the control of treacherous information and expand the recruitment of demon suppressors.

"Now that the tide of treacherous recovery has arrived, the imperial court should respond to the changes of the times and recruit talents, so I ordered Wu'anhou and his son to be responsible for recruiting stranger masters and reorganizing the Demon Division!"

After announcing this matter, Emperor Delong directly announced his retirement from the dynasty, leaving everyone to discuss on their own.

"Wu Anhou, Li Yuma, congratulations!"

"I didn't expect Your Majesty to thank Her Royal Highness for saving the driver, and even married Her Royal Highness the Princess, which is a rare honor."

"When the time comes, don't forget that I'm waiting......"

A group of middle-level courtiers who did not know the truth congratulated Li Yu and his son, completely reversing the cause and effect of this matter.

Li Xin and Li Yu dealt with everyone, mainly because Li Xin took Li Yu to get acquainted with the ministers, and officially introduced him to the senior officials of the Daqian court.

After a while, everyone separated, but it was the prince of the East Palace who came over with Zhang Jingheng and others.

"Wu Anhou, Li Yuma."

The prince had a little inexplicable melancholy on his face, but he still greeted them very solemnly.

"On the day of the wedding, Lone will come to congratulate in person."

Li Yu hurriedly said that he was flattered, but he sighed secretly in his heart.

The world is so inclined to be inflammatory, and sure enough, even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is inevitably vulgar.

But to be honest, they still have to be cautious and cautious when they make friends with the prince now.

From a long-term point of view, there are no disadvantages to joining the prince's party, and it can be regarded as buying insurance for the future.

But the Demon Emperor Delong Emperor cultivated a treacherous way, and he sought the evil immortals of the Demon Dao.

It seems that it has already achieved quite a lot, and secretly has achieved good results.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been in office for almost forty years, and he doesn't know if he can survive His Majesty and his old man.

Every time the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty thought of this kind of thing, they also secretly felt a headache and were in a dilemma.

They are not like Uncle Guo's family, they have long been tied to the crown prince and have to buy and leave.

So...... Official, everything is according to the identity on the table, and the etiquette can make people not find mistakes.

After that, Guo Tunan, the prince of Zhenguo, also came over to congratulate him as usual, but after the congratulations, he left in a hurry with a group of nobles, and did not stay to discuss the matter of the Demon Suppression Division with Li Xin.

It stands to reason that he is in charge of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, the superior department of the Demon Suppression Division, and in terms of title, he can be called the Governor.

The personnel changes and rank adjustments of the Demon Suppression Division should be in his hands.

But this time......

Li Xin looked at his departing back, his face was slightly condensed, but he didn't say anything.

Li Yu vaguely sensed the disharmony here, and also didn't say anything.

The next era is the age of the Inhuman.

The traditional forces, taking sides, are far less important than the power in their hands.

The appearance of the demon groom and the giant made everyone, including Li Yu, realize the truth of the description of "comparable to gods and demons" in the classics, and the pursuit of great power will become a new desire.

The next father and son and those nobles, heroes from all walks of life, and high-ranking officials, may become rivals in competition.

These also only need to maintain the etiquette on the surface, and fight without breaking.

There is no need to be polite, and even attach a tail.

When they left the court, the eunuchs in the palace deliberately left Li Yu's father and son, saying that His Majesty had an edict.

Sure enough, in their temporary residence near the Dragon's Head Pond, Emperor Delong summoned them.

"The two Aiqing don't have to be polite, the previous reward, taking into account the etiquette of the court and the past practices, is not enough to express my heart, and now I give you a real reward in private, a golden pill per person, this is the reason why the gods are Da Xiangye, hence the name, Da Xiangdan!"

In Li Yu's inexplicably vigilant gaze, the great eunuch Huang Jin personally held a tray with two jade plates, each with a golden one, and the round big Dan was placed on it and presented it.

『Strange Treasure (Demon Nedan)』

"The Wai Dan is derived from the refinement of the flesh and blood essence of many great demons, and it is supported by the qi of the golden essence, and it is immortal."
