361, Admiral

Ignoring the other party's shouting, Jiutian yawned again, and only looked to the side with the corner of his gaze: "Earth Shadow?"

Earthshadow took a step forward and bowed, "Your subordinates are here." ”

"I remember that you already had an official position before joining the Shadow Hall, so now you might as well talk to your 'colleagues' so that you can make friends?"

After saying this sentence listlessly, Jiutian had leaned back on his seat again, putting on a look that he did not want to mix in the chaos in front of him anymore. But her words made all the officials on the scene, not only ministers and generals, stop their words, but carefully ponder the meaning of their words.

Listening to what Zhu Jiutian said, in addition to the wind and cold accident in the Absolute Shadow Hall, there are other people who are also in official positions?

This doubt, although it was an accident, was only fleeting.

I heard that the people of the Absolute Shadow Hall had been invited to train the guards of the Imperial City, and I thought that the high internal eunuch who had tried his best to promote this matter had given them some captains in order to estimate these reckless faces, and at best, they were only sixth-rank false titles. The people who are present now are all officials with real power above the fourth grade, how can they take them seriously?

Thinking of this, many people sneered again in their hearts: "Recklessness is recklessness, and even the official rank and grade cannot be distinguished, how can it be of great use?"

It's just that some people who have been rolling in the officialdom for many years have heard a little bit of clues from Jiutian's mouth.

"What Fang Cai said with this thought, but does it mean that they had an official position before joining the Absolute Shadow Hall?"

It's a pity that such a hurried thought, although it ripples in the bottom of my heart, has fallen silent in less than a moment, and my heart is settled.

Fang Cai Diying clearly said that he was once a person in the military camp, so it was not surprising that there were people in the Shadow Hall who had the same experience. But looking at the appearance of several members of the Absolute Shadow Hall, the oldest is not more than thirty, even if they have gone through many battles, their military merits are limited, and they will not be a fierce general, so they should not cause any changes.

And when the hundred officials were secretly pondering, the earth shadow had already bowed to the nine heavens, and according to her request, slowly revealed his current official rank.

It's just that he didn't do what everyone thought in their hearts, and he was still respectful to the "court officials" in this hall, but still faced the nine heavens and showed a reporting posture.

"In addition to the main and deputy hall masters, there are a total of 36 people in the editor, who were born in the guard battalion of Lu Guogong in the early Tang Dynasty, and once accompanied the army to fight against Song Jingang, Dou Jiande, Wang Shichong and other thieves. In the ninth year of Wude, after the Xuanwumen Change, Lu Guogong was awarded the title of General Wuwei, and we were also promoted. At that time, there were two Zhaowu lieutenants, who were in the sixth grade, four Zhaowu lieutenants, who were in the sixth grade, and the remaining thirty people, who were appointed as the lieutenants of Zhenwei, who were under the sixth rank. ”

The earth shadow's words were slow and steady, but they made all the officials stunned. After all, according to what he said, it was all about the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, and it had been a hundred years since now, how ridiculous it was? But for some reason, at this time, the hundred officials did not dare to question it in their hearts, and let the earth shadow continue the words.

"In the first year of the Ming Dynasty, the Jueying Hall followed Lu Guogong to conquer the Western Turks, and killed a total of 215 enemies with a number of 36 people. In the second year of Lin De, Lu Guogong immortal died, and was posthumously awarded the title of hussar general by Gaozong, ranking in the first grade, and set up the Zhijie Hall near the blood sea hall, which was remembrance by the descendants of incense. The Shadow Hall was ordered by the King of Wind and Cloud to enter the palace to guard the spirit, and Gaozong complied with the edict of Emperor Taizong and crowned all our staff as the general of the army from Erpin Town, and it has been eighty-seven years. ”

Speaking of this, the attitude of the Earth Shadow is still respectful, but it is limited to showing it to the Nine Heavens, as for the rest of the people, from Yang Guozhong onwards, all of them are pale and covered with cold sweat!

Fang Cai has always been discussed by them, and it is called the reckless Absolute Shadow Hall, but it is actually the general of the town army who has been under the holy decree of Taizong and Gaozong, two former emperors, and has guarded the soul of Lu Guogong for nearly 90 years?

Listening to what Diying said, the achievements and exploits of the Absolute Shadow Hall are just a junior compared to the generals of the current dynasty, Gao Xianzhi and Guo Ziyi. In terms of seniority, what qualifications do I, the civil and military generals who came to the scene to ask for crimes, have the qualifications to shout in front of these thirty-six second-rank generals?

Seeing the shocked appearance of the hundred officials, Jiutian still maintained his previous lazy appearance: "Diying, I was born in a reckless manner, and I don't ...... you guys from the first grade to the second grade Got it. Let's put it in a simple, easy-to-understand way. ”

When the officials heard this, half of them only felt that their faces were hot, and the other half suddenly felt that this "one thought and a thousand slashes" was really hateful.

Ignoring their thoughts, the Earth Shadow still only reported to Jiutian: "Back to the deputy hall master, all the visitors here now, if you talk about official positions, more than ninety percent are inferior to subordinates and others. Among them, only Prime Minister Yang Guozhong was promoted to the second rank of Zhongshu Ling not long ago, half a grade higher than his subordinates. ”

Although the taste of this remark is still respectful, in the ears of hundreds of officials, it is tantamount to being slapped in public by the other party, especially Yang Guozhong, who is the leader, did everything possible to squeeze out the former Zhongshu Ling and Li Linfu, the Duke of Jin, from the government and the opposition and replace him after many years of calculation, but before he really began to enjoy the joy of power, dozens of second-rank generals poured out of the sea of blood. At this moment, he only felt that Zhu Jiutian and the Absolute Shadow Hall in front of him were really too deceitful.

And Jiu Tian actually pretended to say "oh" after hearing the Earth Shadow's explanation, and then asked: "It turns out that this old man's status is a little higher than yours?" It doesn't matter, anyway, you thirty-six people have the same official position, and now that you are gathered here, you shouldn't be afraid that he will have nothing to do." ”

"A bunch of nonsense, gossip to confuse the public!"

Just as Jiutian's words fell, before Yang Guozhong broke out, an angry shout broke out from the crowd. Then, I saw a slightly obese figure walking to the center of the hall: "Zhu Jiutian, you are so bold! Empty words, just a few nonsense and want to pretend to be an official of the imperial court? Do you know that this is a big crime to exterminate the nine clans?"

Everyone took a closer look, only to find that the person who still dared to speak out and ask for the crime after learning the "identity" of the Absolute Shadow Hall was Yang Guozhong's deputy, Luo Chongshan, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites.

Although she was directly questioned by the other party, Jiutian didn't care too much, as if Luo Chongshan was just a fly to her: "Earth Shadow, how would you deal with such things if you were still in the barracks back then?"

"This lord, the official position of everyone in the Absolute Shadow Hall is recorded in the history books of the Tang Dynasty, if you have any doubts, you will know when you return to the court. Diying glanced at Luo Chongshan and replied politely.

Luo Chongshan obviously didn't intend to stop there, and was still arrogant: "The classics naturally have to be checked, but before that, you wait for the truth and be a prisoner according to the law, and after we confirm it, whether you will receive your own punishment or apologize, you will have your own explanation!"
