Kingdom of Heaven and Han

Chapter 622 Whose Official?
Zhao Gou greeted him out of the hall in person, and without any explanation, he took Li Yanxian's hand and entered the hall.Said: "Since Jingkang, gold thieves have been rampant. Every time I think of the difficulties in the world, the people have been displaced, and I can't help crying. The victory in Shanzhou, with thousands of gold households and more than [-] subordinates, why should the court be afraid of gold people in the future!"

After entering the palace, all the ministers shouted long live to Zhao Goushan.

Zhao Gou ordered his servants to take Xiudun, and let Li Yanxian sit under him, at the head of all the officials.Said: "Golden captives have committed crimes in the south. In a few years, no hero in the world dare to beat him! Today in Shanzhou, he beheaded thousands of households and pulled out his speed. Who can compare with him! This time, he will have an incomparable honor. reward!"

Where did Li Yanxian dare to sit?Standing there, I just feel uncomfortable.

Qin Hui was the prime minister, relying on what he thought was a good policy of "people from the south return to the south, and people from the north return to the north".Unexpectedly, when he said it, he was ridiculed by all the officials, and people continued to impeach him.Today, coupled with the great victory in Shanzhou, the main fighters have gained power, and they feel even more uncomfortable.Looking at Li Yanxian, I felt restless for a while.

Zhao Gou said to Li Yanxian: "What happened to Shanzhou that day? Why didn't the general tell the ministers about it? These ministers have suffered a lot from avoiding the Jin army. This great victory, It can reassure everyone's hearts."

Li Yanxian cupped his hands.Said: "The last general was ordered by Marshal Jie to lead the army to fight against Balisu in Shanzhou. He rushed forward in the starry night and surrounded Shanzhou on all sides—"

After talking about the situation that day, including Zhao Gou, all the officials in the hall were amazed.It's just that no one can imagine what the artillery Li Yanxian was talking about and why it could block the gate of Shanzhou.When I heard that Zhang Chi sealed the ferry, I could roughly imagine it and admire it together.

Asked about the situation that day, Zhao Gou said: "Wang Xiaolei followed his father during the Jingkang years. After his father died, he led the army to fight in many places. It was not easy. It was not until he arrived in several counties in Xiangyang that he settled down. It took several years. , compiled an army of [-], and the Northern Expedition regained Xijing. Since Jingkang, who can regain their homeland? Only Wang Xiaolie is alone. After receiving the news, the court was particularly worried about whether Wang Xiaolie could hold Xijing. The minister is terrified. How could he have imagined that Wang Xiaolie could win consecutive battles! Not only did he defend Xijing, but he also killed Ba Lisu! This is a sincere minister of the country!"

Li Yanxian said respectfully: "Jie Shuai is born with wisdom and benevolence. Both soldiers and civilians are benefited from him!"

Zhao Gou nodded.He asked again: "I called Wang Xiaolie to go to the palace before, but because of the busy battle, it was not convenient for a while. This time, why did the general come, and why didn't Wang Xiaolie come? This great victory is unprecedented in the imperial court. It's a pity to lose him!"

Li Yanxian said: "Xijing is at the front line. Shaanxi is to the west, and Puppet Qi is to the east. I don't know when there will be a war. Traveling thousands of miles away, if there is an urgent matter, I am afraid it will be too late. The commander-in-chief puts state affairs first and dare not leave without authorization. .”

Zhao Gou said: "It's rare, it's rare. Wang Xiaolie puts his heart into state affairs, and I'm so relieved!"

After chatting a few gossips, Zhao Gou said: "The general guarded Shanzhou during the Jianyan period. He went through many battles and was praised all over the world. Today, he commanded the army to recover Shanzhou and won a great victory. Is it God's will? Tonight, there will be wine in the palace to celebrate the general. .”

Li Yanxian thanked you.

It rained heavily on the road, not only Li Yanxian, but also all the ministers were drenched, it was really uncomfortable.After chatting for a few words, Zhao Gou ordered to retreat from the hall.Order Prime Minister Lu Yihao to arrange Li Yanxian and his party well, and hold a banquet to celebrate them in the evening.

After exiting the main hall, Li Yanxian let out a sigh of relief.Zhao Gou has a modest attitude, speaks reasonably, does not make things difficult for himself, and makes everything go smoothly.As long as today is over, the days to come will be much easier.

Li Yanxian was born at the bottom of the ranks, and although he later held a high position, he had no dealings with high officials of the imperial court.Later he joined Wang Xiaolie's army, although there were people like Chen Qiudao and Wang Ruohai, everything was still too crude because of Wang Xiaolie's style.When I saw Zhao Gou today, I was not used to everything and felt bound everywhere.Ending it early also freed Li Yanxian from this discomfort.

After leaving the palace, Lu Yihao personally arranged for Li Yanxian and others to live in the post house.Diet, expenses, everything should be the best.

After arriving at the posthouse, after changing clothes, Li Yanxian called Lin Wei and Tong Yuanqing to gossip.

Lin Weidao: "In so many years, it's the first time I've seen so many senior court officials, and even the emperor! To be honest, before entering Lin'an City, my heart was in a state of turmoil! And Lu Xianggong's attitude is kind, The officials are extra courteous, so I am not so nervous!"

Tong Yuanqing said with a smile: "How can you say that? Isn't Jie Shuai a high-ranking official in the court? I saw him less often before?"

Lin Weidao: "Can it be the same? Jie Shuai is born with no airs, how can he compare with these ministers!"

Li Yanxian said: "You underestimated yourself! Among the court officials today, how many official positions are there compared to yours? Marshal Jie doesn't like these pretensions. We are used to being in the army and we are not used to this kind of thing. If Speaking of senior officials, you two are also senior officials!"

Lin Wei was taken aback, pointed to his nose and said, "I'm also a high-ranking official?"

Li Yanxian shook his head: "You are the Marquis of Yu in the first army, do you think this official is small? If it is in other armies, it is not an exaggeration to be appointed governor of Yao County."

Lin Wei said with a smile: "Everyone is joking! If I can seal the governor of Yao County, how many governors there should be in the world!"

Li Yanxian said: "Do you think there are few governors in the world?"

Lin Wei was stunned when he heard this.Thinking about it carefully, Wang Xiaolie's division has more than 2 people. As Marquis of Yu, Lin Wei is really a high-ranking official.However, Wang Xiaolie has never been a regular army of the imperial court, the generals are all appointed by himself, and he does not have an official rank in the imperial court.In addition, the class law is not implemented in Wang Xiaohun's army, and the relationship between the upper and lower levels is harmonious, so the generals can't feel it.

Tong Yuanqing said: "Dutong, after this captive offering, the imperial court will definitely reward you. People like us will also have official positions in the imperial court. Logically speaking, compared with other armies, Lin Wei and I are in the same rank as Marquis Yu. The official position will not be low. But we are different, what official position will the court confer?"

Li Yanxian said: "Which one can say clearly? If it's just about the number of soldiers you lead and your performance against the enemy, your official positions will not be low. But the commander-in-chief Xiangyang built the army and took care of everything by himself. What would the court think?" , but I can’t tell.”

Lin Weidao: "After listening to what Du Tong said just now, I was still thinking of being named the governor of Yao County and becoming a high official from then on! So it wasn't—"

Li Yanxian sighed: "Don't talk about you, it's just me. From abandoning Shanzhou to Xiangyang, the imperial court has never given any rewards. Everything about us, whether it is official positions or salaries, is given by the commander-in-chief. This time, the imperial court awarded Our officials are only in name, so will they still give us salaries?"

Tong Yuanqing nodded: "What Du Tong said is right. For our officials, it is better to look at the appointment of the Marshal Jie. The appointment of an official by the imperial court is just a joke."
