The sky shone out from under the night, and then like a spark on fire, it quickly burned the night clean, and the sky and earth returned to a bright place.

The light of the day shone into the solemn main hall of the court on weekdays, and the hall had already begun to put up a table of cases.

Feng Xiuyun trained the people in the Jianning Marquis Mansion quite well, which attracted a lot of praise, but the end of her training was only to reach the level of these palace servants at this moment.

When these palace attendants go into battle in person, this posture is even more extraordinary.

Because, in a sense, these people are no longer human.

This point, whether it is Emperor Chongning, who is good at manipulating power, or the generous and benevolent Concubine De, who enters the palace, cannot be changed, unless the system that maintains this empire disappears or changes.

desks, cushions, horizontal and vertical lines on the ground;

Dinner plates and wine utensils are all laid out on several sides in the same way.

No matter from which angle you look at it, there is a kind of symmetrical and neutral beauty.

The curtains were tied, and swayed gently with the wind brought up by the occasional attendant.

The silver silk charcoal was slowly burning in the charcoal furnace, and it baked this hall warm early, just like the current situation that is getting better and thriving.

At the end of the day, courtiers arrived at the square in front of the palace one after another, chatting in twos and threes.

"On the day of the enthronement ceremony, countless people have soared, but I don't know how many people will rise to the top after tonight!"

"In comparison, it is good that these state pastors who took the initiative to come to the court can keep their positions, who can tell the difference in this situation!"

"Yes, this time the court situation has turned the sky upside down twice, how many dignitaries have been knocked into the dust, and even the appearance and talent of the girls with the Teaching Workshop Division and Liuyun Tianxiang Pavilion have improved a lot, I don't know how many positions have been vacated."

"Master Tang's description is quite interesting in life!"

"The white-clothed emperor failed to seal at the beginning, and this time there must be his great name, what reward do you think he can get?"

"No matter what, it should be on par with An Guogong and Lu Guogong."

"That's not necessarily, I'm afraid the credit of the white-clothed emperor can't catch up, right?"

"Why can't you catch up, the white-clothed emperor's division is out of the dragon's head, fighting Dingzhou City, threatening Zhongjing, and then Xiao Fengshan sent troops, so that Beijing is empty. Then the rainy night went down to Jinling, forcing the defenders of Xiangyang to completely lose confidence, which led to a good situation later. These two hands are extremely important in terms of both the size of the battle and the impact on the overall situation, why can't they catch up with An Guogong and Lu Guogong? ”

"Your analysis is correct, but aren't all these credits to Lord Xing'an Bobai?"

"Shhhh Do you really think that he is a young man with such skills? Without the white-clothed emperor's strategy, what could he achieve? ”

"You can't say that, isn't Jianning Hou also young!"

"Jianning Hou Tianzong is a genius, how can anyone compare!"

"Hey, Wanxiang is here!"

I don't know which sharp-eyed one snorted softly, everyone turned their heads, and saw Wan Xiang stepping out of the carriage with the support of his entourage, and then paced towards this end.

"Ten thousand phases!"

"I've seen all the phases!"

Everyone stepped forward to greet each other, Wan Wenbi enjoyed this situation of the stars and the moon, smiling with a polite corporal on his face.

Before he could get drunk, several carriages arrived behind him.

On the carriage, figures walked down one after another.

Su Lao Xianggong, Zhao Lao Zhuang, Bai Yunbian, Ye Hongluan, Su Yuanshang, Xia Yunfei, naturally Xia Jingyun, who is the core of this faction at the moment.

Many people saw this old man for the first time after he "came back from the dead", and after a short period of stunned, they stepped forward one after another.

"Meet the Master!"

"Meet An Guogong!"

"Old man, you are really alive, the sky has eyes, the sky has eyes!"

Different titles come from different identities and different friendships, and this glory is the prestige accumulated by the old minister Su for decades.

Seeing this, Wan Wenbi, who was suddenly inadvertently snubbed, squinted his eyes slightly, and immediately returned to normal, and took the initiative to step forward, "Bo Yuangong, it's been a long time!" ”

Xia Jingyun and Old Zhao Zhuang stood aside, smiling silently at Old Minister Su and everyone smiling and greeting.

And Bai Yunbian, well, since this guy discussed it with Xia Jingyun, he seemed to have let go of himself, with an expression of disdain, and he stood aside disdainfully.

Although the old owner of Zhao Zhuang is extremely famous, but after all, he is not a person in the officialdom, the white-clothed emperor is just an honorific title, and now he has no official body, after these officials visited the old minister Su, they had to call the old owner of Zhao, Mr. Zhao and the like, and greeted them nondescriptly.

As for Xia Jingyun, it is much easier to say, there is such an obvious happy event right now, and everyone naturally congratulates Jianning Hou on hugging him left and right, and the blessing of all people.

And when it was Baiyun's turn, he was quietly straightening his chest, and a shrill voice shouted not far away, "Open the palace door!" ”

Everyone hurriedly returned to their positions, leaving Bai Yunbian stunned in place.

"Humph!"

With an undisguised cold snort, with a bit of anger, Bai Yunbian walked into the team.

Not far away, Wan Xiang turned around when he heard the sound and glanced deeply at Baiyunbian, who was unhappy.

Then the procession rushed in, and under the guidance of the officials of the Ministry of Rites and Honglu Temple, they walked into the main hall and found their own seat and sat down.

Although today is a celebration ceremony, but the so-called celebration, there is no witness and touting, how can there be that kind of superiority that no one has me, so the clan magnates and civil and military officials above the five grades of the Manchu Dynasty are all present, looking at the group of people sitting above with envy.

Among those people, there are people who will be in the forefront no matter when and where, such as Cheng Wang, such as Wanxiang.

There are also people who have made meritorious contributions in this upheaval and are about to be rewarded by the imperial court, such as Xia Yunfei, Bai Yunbian, and the underground "emperor" of Nancheng, Lu Shouhu.

No matter what the situation is, it is above this officialdom that attracts countless envious people.

The officialdom of Daxia only said that it was divided into nine products, and each product was divided into up and down, a total of eighteen levels.

How many officials may only be able to cross one or two of them in their lifetime, and how can they not be very envious of this award.

There are many people in the world who don't understand, and they often think that even if they are promoted to a level in three or five years, or even a level in ten years, they can finally reach a mainstay of four or five grades, or the position of a member of the court of two or three grades, but in fact, not to mention that the more you go to the top, the less the competition will be, the stronger the competition, let's just say that the court also has its own set of skills to control officials without being promoted.

For example, a seven-pin county order with no background and no appreciation from nobles, if you have been asked to be a small county magistrate for decades without moving the nest, then naturally everyone has an opinion, but the court has its own countermeasures.

You are now a county magistrate, and in three or five years, you will be promoted to a mid-county magistrate; After another three or five years, another county order will be raised; After a few more years, he was transferred to a county town or a state town, and any official of the same rank was the chief secretary or the like; If it is okay, in a few years, I will go to the capital, and the official quality will remain the same, and even the official position can be transferred between the same rank but different weights in the same yamen.

After a set, twenty or thirty years have passed, and the official rank has taken a step or even stood still, but the official himself can't say a word, after all, the imperial court is either promoting or reusing.

This kind of promotion road has suppressed many talented people, as if it is in response to Emperor Chongning's comment that he was imprisoned.

It is precisely because of this that everyone is so envious and even jealous of today's people who are about to step over most of their lives and work hard.

It's a pity that opportunities don't come often, and they may not be able to seize them when they come.

In this scene, there are several officials who look the same, but they are very worried in their hearts.

They are the state pastors of the six prefectures of Baiyang, Jiuhe, Xifeng, Swift, Yanyuan, and Wuwei, and after the imperial court issued an edict to recruit the state pastors of various states into Beijing, the lords of these six states have all arrived.

There is no way, after seeing the fate of Xiao Fengshan, Lu Rusong and the prince, everyone understands two things:

It can't be beaten, and the general trend of the imperial court has been achieved;

The imperial court also dares to kill, and a state pastor will not make the imperial court have any fear.

What's more, if there is chaos today, they have to quell the rebellion anyway, and they have also lost the qualification to let the court cast a rat trap.

So, they arrived in Beijing with the guards non-stop, wanting to keep this rare wealth.

As for Sixiang and Langya, the two states of Sixiang and Langya, Wu Qili and Lan Tingwang, who arrived first, were there at this moment.

Their future has been decided, don't think about the original position of state pastor, but the imperial court also gave a new placement, one became a Zhongshu squire, the other became a Taichangqing, and they all added Doctor Jin Ziguanglu.

After all, there are so many good locations in the court hall in Beijing, and it will be gone if it is late.

The land of the two states is now under military control, with the governor of the state in charge of government affairs, and the commanders of the counterinsurgency army re-sent by the imperial court are all in charge of the military.

Presumably, the final state pastor will be determined today.

Just thinking about it, a gentle chime sounded, the court was quiet, and the dignified and elegant Queen Mother wore gorgeous clothes, led the little emperor, and walked out slowly.

Everyone stood up and saluted together, "Meet the Queen Mother, meet Your Majesty." ”

Concubine De was still gentle and elegant, and said with a smile: "Zhu Qing is flat." ”

"Empress Dowager Xie."

After everyone was seated, Concubine De shook Dongfang Bai's hand, and looked at him with encouraging eyes and bowed slightly.

Dongfang Bai took a deep breath, stretched his little face, and said: "The rebels and thieves are in trouble, the first emperor is in trouble, fortunately the people with lofty ideals have come up to help, I am loyal and filial piety, inherit the great treasure, and set things right." Now the traitor is ambushed, and the chaos has been decided, so he should reward the kings with kindness, so as to distinguish between right and wrong. Tonight, we will reward you and celebrate with all of you! ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

In the midst of the mountain call, this celebration ceremony officially kicked off.

In this kind of banquet, eating and drinking are all decorations, and the highlight is the reward.

After Dongfang Bai spoke, Jin Zhong stood up, spread out the holy decree, and read it with a sharp voice.

"Fengtian carried the emperor, and the edict said: I have heard that the world is governed by literature, and the chaos is fought by force. The Holy Emperor ruled the world, relying on virtuous ministers. Today, there are Qing and others or are loyal and pure, loyal and unyielding; or brilliant wisdom and difficulty; Or end up fighting bravely and fearlessly. The special reward is as follows."

The crowd listened quietly with bated breath.

For example, Xia Jingyun, Su Lao Xianggong and others have been sealed before, and this time it is not the focus of the reward, but just like that sentence, they are all here, and they can't let such a great hero return empty-handed, so they gave some jade, treasures, elixirs, etc., to talk about comfort, and everyone didn't think there was anything wrong.

Then there is the reward and sealing of small people such as Ye Wenhe, the leader of the Cao Gang, Zhuang Dexiang, Xiong Baoquan, etc.

The smaller one is not enough to write on the decree and read it on this table.

"Zhongjing City Lu Yi, Feng Ding Zhongbo, Jia Zhenwei Lieutenant, give two Huangzhuang."

After reciting the rewards of a few little people, this reward made many people suddenly understand how the Queen Mother and Her Majesty escaped the difficulties of the Black Ice Platform and Jingzhao Mansion joining forces with the Great Suo Jingshi.

"Liu Deyuan, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, served as the governor of Yunmengzhou, and added Guanglu doctor. Wen Jianchen, the state pastor of Baiyang Prefecture, served as the state pastor of Sixiang Prefecture, and added silver Qingguanglu doctor. Yunmeng Prefecture Governor Xiang Hanshan, served as the Governor of Baiyang Prefecture, and added the Golden Purple Guanglu Doctor. Zhou Jiwen, the governor of Xifengzhou, was appointed as the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, and the doctor of Jin Ziguanglu. Wuwei Prefecture Pastoral Section Mountain Forest, served as Guangling Prefecture Pastor, plus Jin Ziguanglu Doctor. Yunmeng Governor Shi Bai Fengyang, appointed as the governor of Longshou Prefecture, and added silver Qingguanglu doctor"

For the first time, the next reward caused a lot of uncontrollable discussion.

The imperial court's hand is also expected, for these state pastors who are not guilty at the moment but are not worried that they will continue to stay in the nest at this juncture, mutual transfer is the most suitable solution, after all, they all stay in the court, where are there so many positions.

But the arrangement of the center is indeed very artistic, and almost everyone's official position has been promoted, either from a poor state to a rich state, or a border state to a state with a better environment closer to the capital.

In this major transfer, Yunmeng Governor Shi Baifengyang is particularly eye-catching.

Not only because he is the only one who is listed among them as a long history, but also because he is the father of Xing'anbo Baiyunbian.

Unconsciously, Bai Yunbian, who was once known as the son of Governor Shi of Yunmeng, was quietly able to make his father the father of Xing'an Bo Baiyunbian.

I don't know how much emotion this father and son would have if they were in person.

Xia Jingyun didn't know what these people were thinking, if he knew, he would definitely snort coldly, what else could he think?

[Old horseman, look, is it that what can't kill me will make me stronger? 】

[Thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi, I told you not to bully young people to be poor, and they are not convinced! ] 】

He could even think of Bai Yunbian's trembling look and the corners of Bai Da's mouth and beard jumping with anger, that is, for the sake of Bai Daren's physical and mental health and safety, otherwise why didn't he invite someone over.

Thinking nonsense here, Jin Zhong continued to read.

"Former Yunmengzhou Qingshan County Taishou Su Yuanshang, Ren Jing Zhaoyin, plus Jin Ziguanglu Doctor."

With a bang, the discussion in the court rang out.

Jing Zhaoyin, who has been hanging for several days and has attracted the attention of countless people in the DPRK and the Central People's Republic of China and operates in private, actually ended up on this person's head?

A county Taishou and Jing Zhaoyin, the difference in the middle, like a moat, is a gap that countless people are difficult to cross in their lives, and they actually give it like this?

Who is this Su Yuanshang? Grace to the Su family, you can't do this!

A group of officials turned their eyes to the central people, as if asking, how many of you don't know how to stop it?

The central princes glanced at each other, bowed their heads or smiled bitterly.

On the day of the discussion, when the Queen Mother said this reward, their first reaction was indeed to stop it.

A prince of the Taishi Kingdom, plus a Jing Zhaoyin, has fame and real power, and has a concubine who married the Marquis of Jianning, who was Xuan He for a while, so the Su family's power in the court is inevitably too great.

However, when the Queen Mother told the original situation, they were speechless.

It turned out that in the most difficult days of the prince's usurpation, the entire forces under the command of the Queen Mother were coordinated and arranged by this Su Yuanshang, if there was no such person, maybe they would not be able to support Xia Jingyun's return to Beijing, just such a credit, the Queen Mother did not give a knighthood, did not add the title of meritorious hero, and was already very restrained.

There is no way, this kind of dragon skill is the most unreasonable in itself, who can say anything!

Jin Zhong didn't care about the court's discussions, but paused slightly, and he moistened his saliva and slowed down, and then continued to read.

"Xia Yunfei, the commander of the Wudang Army, Feng Ding Anbo, General Xuanwei, General Yulin Wei Zhonglang, and the special gift to Yang Wu Yiyun Meritorious Hero,"

This time, everyone didn't react much, and the ministers in the palace quietly glanced at each other left and right, exchanging an unsurprising expression.

The hearts of a small number of people have settled down a little, if Xia Yunfei is also a marquis, the Xia family has two marquises, I am afraid it will not be a good thing for the imperial court!

"Xing'an Bo Baiyunbian, Feng Huai'an Hou, 800 households in the food town, plus Guanglu doctor, appointed as the imperial historian, and specially awarded Zuoli Xuande meritorious hero."

As soon as this reward came out, everyone's brains were buzzing.

In addition to the fact that there is a little less food and no entry into the center, it is not much worse than Xia Jingyun's reward!

Is this also the grace of Lord Bai?

With a simpler brain, I feel that this Lord Bai is worthy of being the first place in the second class at the beginning, and the scientific examination is two places worse than Xia Gongzi, and his current achievements are not much worse than him!

Some scheming people are wondering, could it be that the Queen Mother and Your Majesty also have the intention of not letting the Marquis of Jianning specialize in beauty, so they want to raise love and support a person who can compete with his prestige?

But no matter how you think about it, quietly, in everyone's hearts, the weight of Baiyunbian seems to be barely comparable to Xia Jingyun.

Wan Wenbi calmly looked at the people who were talking below, and smiled faintly in his heart.

He understands this person in Baiyunbian, his sex is crazy, if his official position is far inferior to Xia Jingyun, it is indispensable to be a follower, but what if it is not much different?

Which young man is not arrogant, if everyone is about the same, why are you the leader and I am the follower?

Above the court, the wind and clouds are changing, as long as a seed is planted, there are endless things to make it sprout and grow.

At that time, your comrades will become your enemies, and what will be your reputation?

Therefore, when deciding to award the reward in Baiyunbian, he supported the reward with all his might, and intentionally or unintentionally raised the reward, as if he was doing his best for Xia Jingyun.

He still remembers Xia Jingyun's stunned and aggrieved face at that time, with a somewhat complicated expression that wanted to speak and stopped, which made him can't help but laugh secretly in his heart.

Young people, learn a little, this is called Yangmou!

After everyone stopped talking, the last reward was finally released.

"Zhao Qingsheng, the owner of the white-clothed villa, is the first-class Duke of Weiguo, plus the Taifu, and is specially given to the heroes of loyalty and conspiracy."

This is not an unexpected reward, and it has drawn an unexpected end to this unexpected ceremony.

After the symbolic feast and celebration, the crowd got up and prepared to leave with a full stomach.

In the feudal era of all evils, it is natural for the leaders to go first.

Therefore, everyone got up, but did not move forward, but let the important ministers of the court go first.

A bit of humility, such as Su Lao Xianggong, Zhao Lao Zhuang Lord, Qin Lao Lao Zhuang, Cheng Wang, these went ahead;

Wan Xiang, Yang Xiang and other central people walked behind.

Walking to the door of the palace, Wan Xiang turned his head to look at the white clouds that happened to walk behind him, and said with a smile: "Huai'an Hou, congratulations!" ”

Everyone around him also smiled and bowed his hand, Bai Yunbian didn't do anything on this occasion, after all, he was just crazy and not stupid, and he threw his hands around happily when he heard the words, "It's all the grace of Her Majesty the Queen Mother, and the love of the princess." ”

Wan Xiang smiled and said: "I have heard that Huai'an Hou is also quite poetic, such a happy event tonight, can there be poetry?" ”

Everyone was puzzled at first, if you want to talk about poetry, shouldn't you ask Jianning Hou?

But after thinking about it, Huai'an Hou is the most proud person today, and it seems that it is okay to ask him.

Bai Yunbian was slightly stunned, and then raised his head and hummed softly, "The poetry trail is easy to come by!" ”

He glanced up at the starry sky above his head, and said slowly: "If you want to go to the blue sky, climb the clouds and raise your hand to pick the stars." Singing and shouting loudly, talking, laughing, drinking and accompanying immortals. ”

There was a moment of silence all around.

Old Minister Su stopped, and Xia Jingyun frowned slightly.

Wan Wenbi took everything in his eyes, smiled and clapped his hands, "Huai'an Hou is really talented!" (End of chapter)
