In the spring of the twenty-fourth year of Chengping, a decree was issued from the imperial capital from the imperial capital by the instructions of Her Royal Highness Xiao Zhinan, the cabinet vote, and the approval of the celebrant and the celebrant to the world.

Promoted to the former Left Governor of the Chinese Army, Zhao Wuji, the Governor of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, is a rank, in charge of the world's soldiers and horses, promoted to Guanglu Doctor, added to the Zhuguo, hung the seal of the general Zhenshuo, and sealed Chen Guogong.

In terms of the military attache system of the Great Qi, at this time, Zhao Wouji was only one step away from being a great minister, among which the special Jin Guanglu doctor was a loose rank, the metropolitan governor was a real award, the general Zhenshuo was the general seal, the Shangzhu State was a commander, the Zhengyi rank was a grade, and Chen Guogong was a knighthood.

Among them, the rank and the loose rank are only fictitious positions, just like Lan Yu's title of Taishi, and have no real power. According to the law system of Daqi, after the official is promoted, he will be awarded the first rank of dispersion, and the first rank of Zhengyipin will be awarded as the Guanglu doctor, and the promotion will be awarded as the special Guanglu doctor, and the additional will be awarded as the Shangzhu country. Zao Wou-Ki was promoted from the Governor of the Left Capital to the Governor of the Grand Metropolitan and ranked in the center, and the order of the product changed from a product to a positive product, and the loose rank should have been a Guanglu doctor, and after the initial examination in three years, the evaluation was excellent, and he could be promoted to a special Guanglu doctor. After six years of re-examination, if the evaluation is still excellent, it will be awarded the Pillar State. This time, he was directly promoted to the special doctor Guanglu and awarded the Shangzhu country, which can be described as an extreme favor.

As for hanging the seal of the general of Zhenshuo, it is because of the law system of the Great Qi, if there is something to conquer, then the governor of the capital is ordered to wear the seal in the past, and the master is on the seal of the dynasty, and the general seal has three, namely: the general of the conquest, the general of Pingshuo, and the general of Zhenshuo.

Now Zao Wou-Ki has obtained one of the three great general seals coveted by countless martial artists, whether it is actual awards, titles, or loose ranks, and honors, they have all reached the peak of a martial artist, and what is lacking is only a Taibao who ranks among the three dukes, and there is also a king with a different surname for martial arts.

In the eyes of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military affairs, Zao Wou-Ki is undoubtedly very enviable, from one of the five major governors of the left to become the first military attache on a par with the first assistant of the cabinet, no matter how you look at it, it is a thing worth celebrating, but only Zao Wou-Ki has a bitter self-knowledge, the name of a metropolitan governor, in exchange for the entire 100,000 soldiers and horses under his command, these 100,000 soldiers and horses will be transferred to Jiangnan, eighty percent of them are handed over to Xu Beiyou's hands.

That's it, after all, he still has 100,000 troops left in his hands, just to resist Mu Tangzhi in the northeast, it is enough, but what really makes him uneasy is whether the position of the left governor of the Chinese army will change hands to others, if it is in the peaceful years, a metropolitan governor for the left governor of the Chinese army, naturally it is not wanted, but now it is a time of turmoil in the world, and the metropolitan governor who does not directly control the military power at this time is not as good as the five major left governors who directly control the military power, although he now hangs the seal of the general Zhenshuo, but in the command and dispatch is still inferior to the left governor of the Chinese army, which is called the county official is not as good as the current management, if the imperial court sends a Chinese army left governor who disagrees with him, then he is really likely to lose most of his military power, after all, this Chinese army was not established by him, and it is far from the point of a private army, if you talk about a private army, it is also the private army of the Xiao family.

It was for various reasons that Zao Wou-Ki did not leave the imperial capital for a long time after receiving the decree until the second decree was delivered.

In addition to transferring 100,000 troops of the Son of Heaven to Jiangnan to quell the rebellion, the second decree also appointed Xu Beiyou as the governor of the left capital of the Chinese army, awarded Guanglu Doctor and Zhuguo, hung the seal of the general of Pinglu, and crowned the Duke of Jin.

When the news spread throughout the imperial capital, the people who originally thought that the clouds and fog were all sudden, in the final analysis, Her Royal Highness the princess trusted her husband the most, and this will layout, or let the emperor's son-in-law take power, and it is the most important military power, I think this is also what Han Ge Lao meant, and what the emperor's son-in-law did in Jiangnan is also obvious to all, the Manchu Dynasty naturally has no objections, even if there are a few blind people who want to object, they are all small fish and shrimp, and they can't make any big waves.

In fact, to put it bluntly, only the official position of the Governor of the Left Capital of the Chinese Army is true in this will, as for any other loose ranks, honors, and titles, it is nothing, after all, Xu Beiyou is already a super emperor's son-in-law, if Her Royal Highness the princess takes the most critical step, then the husband and wife are heavenly and unspeakably expensive.

With these two wills in the front, the next third will is not so eye-catching, this will seal Zhang Wuzhi as the Duke of Chu, add the Guanglu doctor, Zhuguo, and hang the seal of the general.

In this way, the three great general's seals have been dispatched, which is exactly in line with the statement of the pillar stones of the three kingdoms.

After the third decree was issued, Zao Wou-Ki finally decided to leave Beijing tomorrow and return to Shanhai City.

There was no moon all night, and at the end of the day, the eastern sky had just revealed a line of white, and it was not yet time to open the city gate, but there were already many armor soldiers holding torches in two rows in front of the city gate, waiting to stand.

There was a rush of footsteps, and two sedan chairs came one after the other.

The sedan chair stopped, and without waiting for the attendants outside to lift the sedan curtain, Zao Wou-Ki had already reached out to lift the curtain and walked out of the sedan chair.

All the armor soldiers immediately knelt on the ground and said respectfully, "See the Grand Duke." ”

Immediately afterwards, a person also walked out of the sedan chair behind him and came to Zao Wou-ki's side.

Zao Wou-Ki looked up at the sky, and the white of the eastern sky began to widen, like a fish belly.

Then his gaze slowly fell, he looked at the tall gate in front of him, and sighed.

"What is Her Royal Highness the Princess going to do?" Wei Wuji, who was standing beside Zhao Wuji, asked softly, "It is true that Xu Beiyou is a sword immortal in the eighteenth-floor realm, but he is not familiar with military affairs, and it is probably not a wise move to put the military power in his hands." ”

"Her Royal Highness the princess wants peace of mind, the Chinese army is also called the Son of Heaven's army, the original intention is to defend the Son of Heaven, and now it is all in my hands, and I am running the Tiance Mansion all the year round. Zhao Wou-Ki said: "Besides, the battle situation in Jiangnan is not optimistic, and it is reasonable for Her Royal Highness the Princess to stabilize Jiangnan." ”

Wei Wuji said slowly: "The truth is very big, and it is also empty. ”

Zhao Wuji turned around and glanced at him, and said with a smile: "For Her Royal Highness the Princess, it is enough to make sense, this truth does not stand up to scrutiny, but it is just a minutia. As for you saying that Xu Beiyou is not familiar with military affairs, that is not a problem, there are Governors in the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion who are proficient in military affairs and Governor Tongzhi and Governor Governors, and no matter how bad it is, there is Yu Kuang from the south of the Yangtze River to help him, don't forget, Xu Beiyou has hung the seal of the general of Pingyu and has the right to control Yu Kuang. ”

Wei Wuji said in a deep voice: "If Xu Beiyou succeeds in quelling the Jiangnan Rebellion and returns to the dynasty with great achievements, then Her Royal Highness the Princess will be able to take a step further." ”

"Blocking people's money is like killing parents. Zhao Wuji suddenly lowered his voice, "If you don't give these 100,000 people, it will be difficult for Xu Beiyou to make contributions, and if Xu Beiyou can't make contributions, His Highness will not be able to take that step, this is blocking His Highness's way, that is, His Highness's enemy." ”

Wei Wuji was suddenly startled, and then a deep fear instantly appeared in his heart.

It is said that those who are good at fighting have no great achievements, and those who are good at playing have no magic skills, although he has the word "dedication" in his name, but in terms of the depth of his mind and strategy, he is far inferior to his brother Zao Wou-Ki in the past.

Zao Wou-Ki raised his eyes and looked up, past the city gate, over the city tower, at the brighter and brighter twilight outside the city wall, and said softly: "It's almost time, I should go out of the city." ”
