On October 20 of the seventh year of Qinghe, it was a rare meeting of the great cadres, and the ministers were summoned to discuss politics.

However, at this time, the hall was particularly lively.

Emperor Mo Zhenghao sat on the dragon chair, looking at the civil and military officials who were talking noisily below, and he had a headache.

Today's court meeting mainly discussed two things, the dispatch and appointment of the general of Xijin Du and the sending of an envoy from the Northern Wei Dynasty to come, which was the 'friend of literature and ceremony' that Liu Ming had heard before, and the time was almost set on the seventh day of the first month of November, that is, the time of the winter solstice.

However, looking at the current situation in the main hall, this first matter of the Nishitsu Guard has not yet been settled, and I don't know when I will have to get it.

The one who has the most say in this matter is Zhao Haiming, the old chief assistant, the two governors on the left and right, as well as the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Industry.

The old Shoufu Zhao Haiming has been sitting on the side, closing his eyes and recuperating, and has not spoken. The two governors have their own insights, but the officials and the military department are constantly arguing over who is more suitable. The hundreds of officials below are talking, after all, this is not a trivial matter, maybe someone will go up at once.

Although the regular establishment of the Xijindu garrison is only 5,000, it happens to be a soldier and horse under the jurisdiction of a captain.

However, because of the special terrain, although the guards of Xijindu only have 5,000 soldiers and horses, they have the official body of a four-rank partial general.

This may not be attractive to military generals who are also partial generals, but it is a good attraction for civilian officials below the rank of partial generals or below the fourth grade.

You must know that as long as Xiguan is still in Xijindu for a lifetime, he will not be able to fight, and it is a job that is lighter than that of a civil official. Go over there to mix up a resume, bring one for two or three years, and then ask someone in the capital to talk and dredge up the relationship, then it will be different after you come back, a bright resume.

In fact, the cultures of the four countries have always been circulating, and there is not much difference, so the entire civil official system and the military general system are basically the same, but there are only slight differences.

The entire military general system is from the lowest level, with five people as a team and a commander with no official status; two units as a sentry with 10 people and a sentry with no official body; five guards as a standard of 50 people, with a nine-rank standard; two standards as a guard with 100 people and an eight-rank guard chief (Modaowei is just the establishment of a guard); five guards as a battalion with a seven-rank battalion commander and 500 soldiers in charge; two battalions as a school with a six-rank lieutenant and 1,000 soldiers; five schools as a commander with a five-rank lieutenant and 5,000 soldiers; two captains under the command of a general and a four-rank general with 10,000 troops; five generals under the command of a general with a third-rank general and 50,000 soldiers; two generals under the command of a general and a second-rank general, 100,000 soldiers; above the generals, there are generals with the title of generals, such as the general of Zhenxi and the general of the conquest, and the number of soldiers in charge is uncertain; the number of soldiers in charge is uncertain.

The specific situation depends on the situation, like Mo Daowei is nominally a private soldier of the Wei Mansion, without an official body but still receiving the same money and thinking about related treatment, or even better; Fan Qing before Xijindu led 5,000 soldiers and horses, but he was a fourth-grade general.

Let's talk about the following official system, senior officials: Zheng Yipin Shoufu, Cong Yi Pin Shen Governor, Zheng Er Pin Six Books, from the Second Rank Six Departments of Shilang, Zheng Sanpin Supervision Temple, Honglu Temple, Zongzheng Temple Chief; Intermediate officials: from the third rank of the three temples, the state thorn history, Jing Zhaoyin, the fourth pin state of the deputy (thorn history deputy post), from the fourth rank of the state inspection, is the fifth rank of the city too shou; middle and lower officials: from the five products of the city chief Shi (too shou deputy), the rest are all a supervisor, division, Cao Yun, guards, The city guard chief has all these six, seven, and eight grades, and the county guard is the nine grades, and the main book is from the nine grades.

Among them, the three special yamen: the Yushutang leads the first-grade Yulu, the Zhanglu leads the second-grade Yulu, and the Wenyuan leads the second-grade Yulu, all of which are not within the scope of the hundred officials;

Han Donglin, the secretary of the ministry, tried his best to catch the names of several civil officials and reported them to recommend, and Li Dayou, the secretary of the military book, heard that which one was done, and immediately became anxious.

That kind of strategic place, anyone can go to it, so if there is a real war, it won't be a disaster for the country and the people, and a large-scale war will break out in these four countries at any time, how can these powerless and brainless scholars mix up their qualifications.

No, 10,000 disagree.

Although this Xijindu usually looks useless, but once Xiguan is really breached, this small Xijindu can take the life of the entire Daqian, and it is impossible not to take precautions.

Neither of the two was convinced, Han Donglin, the secretary of the ministry, spat and splashed stars, and Li Dayou, the secretary of the military department, rolled up his arms and shouted.

Guo Shu, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, was able to restrain the words and deeds of the two at first, but in the end, he couldn't stop it.

Lu Jingping, the servant of the Ministry of Officials, and Sun Baisheng, the waiter of the Ministry of War, also helped to speak on the side at first, but later found that these two adults were arguing, so they stopped talking, and looked at the eyes of the hundred officials, and they couldn't help but feel a little hot on their faces.

It is estimated that if he hadn't been wearing an official robe and standing in the main hall to discuss politics, he would have torn it up a long time ago.

The old Shoufu sat on the Taishi chair on the side, coughed lightly, and suddenly Han Donglin, the secretary of the ministry, and Li Dayou, the secretary of the military department, stopped arguing, and the two snorted angrily, and no one squeaked.

I don't know when Emperor Qiandi had an extra cup of tea in his hand, drinking it slowly, seeing that the hall suddenly became quiet, Emperor Qiandi handed the cup in his hand to Gonggong Mu, and said to the following: "Why stopped, wasn't it quite lively just now?" Lord Han, is Lord Li thirsty, why don't you go and have a cup of tea before continuing." ”

"The minister is guilty!"

"The minister is guilty!"

Han Donglin, the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, and Li Dayou, the secretary of the Ministry of War, bowed their heads and said.

Emperor Qian snorted coldly, looked at the two of them and reprimanded: "The two second-grade officials, I don't know how to check some of them, what happened to the whole court by the two of you, what is the difference between it and the vegetable market." Just this little thing is still earned, what is there to earn, civil and military officials can all see jokes. Wait for the next retreat, Siye will spread the news that two Shangshu lords are openly arguing in the court, and they almost have a big fight, is it good?"

"Back to Your Majesty, this Xijin Commander will be the post of the four-rank partial general, the matter is serious, and it has exceeded the appointment and dismissal power of the Ministry of War, and it should have been recommended by our Ministry of Officials. Han Donglin, the secretary of the ministry, said humbly.

Emperor Qian smiled, "Why, the ministry can recommend and appoint talents, so don't consider the feelings of other departments and yamen." ”

"I don't dare. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty. Fan Qing was recommended by the Ministry of Officials before, but he collaborated with the enemy and treason, and Uncle Wei almost lost his life in Xijindu. Li Dayou took advantage of the time when Emperor Qiandi reprimanded Han Donglin, the secretary of the ministry, and hurriedly saw the stitches.

This sentence gave Han Dong, the secretary of the ministry, angry, but it became his own pot.

"Li Dayou, don't climb along the pole. I haven't settled accounts with you yet, but you, a temperate general under the military department, actually let your family collaborate with the enemy and treason, and almost killed my great talent. You tell me how you did it, what do you do in the military department, if Uncle Wei Dong Wei really wants to have three strengths and two weaknesses, do you go and tell General Wei or I tell General Wei. Emperor Qian said angrily.

This is right, Li Dayou knows that he is negligent in his duties, "The crime of the minister is unforgivable, and he is willing to be punished." ”

"I'm telling you, I'm glad there was no danger this time. Otherwise, you will be punished with a light head, day by day, without a proper shape. Lord Han, I didn't say that you are? Such an important position, please trouble Lord Han, you can find out the character and qualifications of the person you recommend. If anything goes wrong, you two will go to the palace gate for me to watch the gate. "Originally, Emperor Qiandi was fine, and the other party's spies were really powerful, and I had heard about it in Wei Chang's report a long time ago, but today I saw these two people arguing in the main hall, and I was really angry.

The old shoufu Zhao Haiming saw that Emperor Qian's reprimand was almost hot, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, don't be angry with the dragon body, after all, Lord Han and Lord Li are also working hard in the affairs of the country, but they are just a little arrogant. ”

Han Donglin and Li Dayou heard Lao Shoufu help to speak, and cast grateful eyes, and Emperor Qian naturally couldn't help but give Lao Shoufu face.

Emperor Qian waved his hand and said, "Well, I don't know if there is a suitable candidate for this position?"

The old Shoufu Zhao Haiming thought about it and thought that the two governors had recommended a few good talents like himself before, but the old Shoufu knew that he couldn't talk nonsense, and replied: "There is no suitable candidate for the minister, but the ministers and the military department and other recommended ministers have all seen it, summarized it here, and asked His Majesty to personally look at the selection." ”

Emperor Qiandi nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll just take a look." ”

Gonggong Mu hurriedly walked in broken steps, took the chapter from the old Shoufu Zhao Haiming, and presented it to Emperor Qian.

Emperor Qiandi looked at it, thought thoughtfully, and after a while, closed the chapter and said, "Lord Han, where is Zheng Yun, who won the championship in the fifth year of the Qinghe Palace, where does he reside?"

Han Donglin, the secretary of the ministry, thought about it and had some impressions, after all, he was the leader of the palace test, and hurriedly replied: "Back to Your Majesty, Zheng Yun is now the official residence of the Tuntian Division of the Ministry of Works. ”

Emperor Qian's sigh, the Tuntian Division is one of the four divisions under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Industry, and is in charge of the distribution of the Tuntian and the civil and military officials in Beijing, and the public fields of the various officials and offices.

"What is this person's talent, character, and whether he has been burned out in the past two years. ”

The secretary who asked this question was a little unclear, and quickly looked back at Tang He, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, and Tang He also said embarrassedly: "Back to Your Majesty, Lord Zheng, has a strong character, is upright, and does things rigorously and orderly, but he is a little withdrawn, and he rarely interacts with his colleagues in the department, and the rest are all superior talents." ”

In fact, for Zheng Yun of the Tuntian Division, Tang He has a bit of a headache. Since Zheng Yun came to the Tuntian Division, none of the official documents have been flawed, and all of them have acted in accordance with the regulations.

The difficulty is this, it is this person who is too honest and upright, and the civil and military officials in Beijing sometimes divide the fields to find Zheng Yun to give gifts and allocate a few acres of land, and give a little gift money, but Zheng He is really not in the oil and salt.

only acted in accordance with the approved documents, did not accept money and gifts, and kept saying that they could not use the things of the court as a way to enrich their own pockets, which made many people unable to get off the stage.

Then some people who have connections and connections found Tang He, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, but some people even Tang He, the master of the second grade, want to sell face to others. After all, they are all officials in the court, who can guarantee that they will have nothing to ask for tomorrow.

Tang He himself also looked for Zheng Yun and nodded vaguely, but although he was the chief, he didn't throw it off, so he couldn't get off the stage.

Therefore, what Tang He said in the Ministry of Industry is true and true, without adulteration, and it cannot be said that Master Zheng will not be accommodating, does not know the sophistication of people, and is too rigid in doing things.

These things that are secretly allowed can never be said in the open.

"Well...... I had a deep impression of this person back then, he had both ability and political integrity, but he lived up to my expectations, he was a good official, and he was most relieved to have this person sit in Xijindu, and he was the guard of Xijindu. Emperor Qian said with a happy smile.

The old Shoufu Zhao Haiming's eyelids jumped, sure enough, none of the lists on the chapter were not, and Emperor Qiandi himself had already chosen.

After Xijindu's ambush of Wei Dong, Emperor Qian paid attention, and after reading the files of hundreds of officials, he naturally knew many of Zheng Yun's deeds in the Tuntian Division of the Ministry of Industry, and he liked this person at the moment.

Immediately, the hall exclaimed, obediently, this is really two people today and tomorrow. This Zheng Yun jumped three levels directly from the small Tuntian Division from the Langzhong of the fifth grade, and became a partial general of the fourth grade, and he is really a civil and military general, which envies many people.

Emperor Qiandi saw that the pot suddenly exploded in the hall, and there was a lot of discussion. He coughed dryly and asked symbolically, "Do you have any better opinions?"

As soon as the two governors and officials were about to speak, they were robbed by the old chief, "Your Majesty, Shengming, the ministers have no objections." ”

The old chief assistant has expressed his position, and the others will naturally not say much, "Your Majesty, the ministers have no objections." ”

"Good. Emperor Qian turned his head and said to Gonggong Mu: "Since all Aiqing have no objections, you can ask Wenyuan to draft an edict later, so that Zheng Yun can go to work on the same day to rectify the Xijindu garrison." ”

Emperor Qian suddenly remembered that all the defenders of Xijindu were killed by the name of Wei Chang's subordinates, and only then did he feel a little distressed, "Let Zheng Yun transfer 5,000 soldiers and horses from General He Yuanlianghe, the defenders of Jiangzhou, and expand the number of Xijindu garrisons to 10,000, and let Zheng Yun figure out the rest by himself. ”

"No!" Grandpa Mu noted down one by one on the side.

His Royal Highness naturally has nothing to say, Emperor Qiandi has already promoted Zheng Yun to a partial general, and he has the right to command 10,000 soldiers, this time it is just worthy of the name.

The matter of Xijin Dushou is over, and it is impossible for anyone who wants to get a piece of the pie in the hands of Emperor Qian, or to seek a career again, and it is not too much to ascend to the sky.

"Okay, presumably all the Aiqing of the 'friends of literature and ceremony' sent by the Northern Wei Dynasty to visit Beijing have already heard of it, and you have any opinions. ”

As soon as Emperor Qian finished speaking, Gonggong Mu took a post and read it to everyone: "I have heard for a long time that Daqian is located in the Central Plains, outstanding people, martial arts are the strengths of Daqian, and the cultural context is also the goodness of Daqian. Today, I am a great Wei, the year of the dancing elephant, the country's hope of ten, half of them are good at literature, half of them are good at martial arts, and communicate with the talents of your country......"

The Year of the Elephant Dance: That is, teenagers between the ages of 15 and 20.
