Chapter 614 Official position is more important than title
When Duan Da heard what Li Chongjiu said, his face turned blue and red for a while. He also knew that he was really useless, and he was old. Li Chongjiu didn't exile him like his eldest grandson Anshi.

Duan Da knelt down tremblingly and kowtowed: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

When Duan Da staggered out of the hall, all the officials present couldn't help showing a hint of intolerance.There are rewards and punishments, and it is also Li Chongjiu's goal to let the ministers see how he handles things.People are like this, if they blindly award rewards, then the rewarder will not feel happy.

Seeing Duan Da, the fate of the eldest grandson Anshi, Du Yan and Xue Deyin were fine just now, and at this moment they are all secretly rejoicing in their hearts.

When they got here, Li Chongjiu looked at Yu Shinan and Ouyang Xun. They both lowered their heads subconsciously when they saw Li Chongjiu's eyes sweeping towards them.They are all Yu Wenhua and surrendered ministers. Although Li Chongjiu had promised them at the beginning, there are not without incidents between the emperor's heroes and lackeys.

Although the two knew that they had just made great achievements, they both said that the emperor's heart was unpredictable. Who knew what Li Chongjiu was thinking at this time.Yu Shinan and Ouyang Xun lowered their heads, making themselves more humble.

Li Chongjiu smiled and said: "Yu Aiqing, you have made great achievements in persuading Wang Bo to surrender for me to win the land of Qi County without a fight. You used to be the servant of the Huangmen, and now I will transfer you to the Zhongshu Province to serve as the middle secretary." Book servant."

"Your Majesty." Yu Shinan was both surprised and delighted.The servant of Huangmen worked in Menxia Province. As we all know, Li Chongjiu, like Yang Guang, abolished Menxia Province in order to seize power.For example, the official position granted to Xue Deyin just now belongs to Shizhong.In theory, there is the right to review and refute imperial edict memorials, but now there is no servant in the province, and who will support them if they want to seal and refute memorials.

Therefore, as an official of the fifth rank, the staff of the Ministry of Education are far inferior to the staff of Zhongshu Sheren of the Ministry of Education.We must know that Zhao Guo's Zhongshu Province is the easiest to promote. If you move into Zhongshu Province, you will be a Zhongshu Sheren first.

In Dazhao, there are already two county guards who have held the position of Zhongshu Sheren, and Zhao Xin is one of them. Although this position is not a high official position, it is the easiest to show his face in front of the emperor.

However, some people thought that the Minister of Zhongshu was the adjutant of Zhongshu Province. Now Da Zhao already had three ministers of Zhongshu. Isn't it necessary to add a fourth one?

Yu Shinan couldn't hold back his tears, Ouyang Xun whispered beside him: "Brother Yu, why don't you kneel down and thank you?"

Yu Shinan bent his legs and knelt down, but at this time someone in the hall whispered: "This Yu Shinan is just a courtier with a very bad character. He flattered Emperor Wu in the previous dynasty, and he condescended to serve Yu Wenhuaji. How can such a villain be the servant of the middle school?"

"Brother Xu, don't be unconvinced. If you can also talk about the two counties for His Majesty, His Majesty will also give you the Minister of Zhongshu."

"What are you kidding?"

Yu Shinan felt ashamed when he heard the people behind him whispering, and said immediately: "Your Majesty, I dare not do this."

Li Chongjiu said: "I say that if you love Qing, you deserve it."

Speaking of which, Li Chongjiu helped Yu Shinan up.

"Ouyang Aiqing."

"My minister is here." Ouyang Xun quickly lowered his head.

Li Chongjiu said: "This time you have meritorious service in the Liang State, and the last time you led Liu Tiao, He Chou joined our army. I have meritorious service. I will be rewarded for my meritorious service. You will be the servant of the Ministry of Rites."

"There is also Liu Diao and Liu Aiqing, I named you Yushi Zhongcheng, the fourth rank."

Ouyang Xun and Liu Diao both bowed down to thank them.

Only then did everyone understand that Li Chongjiu's promotion to the official position this time was to compensate the person who was not conferred the title during the enthronement ceremony last time.After all, people like Wang Bo, Meng Haigong, Yang Hao, Dou Jiande, etc., although they were named county kings, they were not conferred real positions.Without real power in hand, this life will be over.

Although the king of the county is a prince, and there is still room for improvement, everyone knows that the prince will not be granted to outsiders except Li Chongjiu's son.Wang Bo, Meng Haigong is better, at least he has military power in his hands, but Yang Hao, Dou Jiande put it bluntly, means that in the next life and his descendants will have enough food and clothing, and the court will support you for a lifetime, but if you want to gain power, don't even think about it.

But this time, Li Chongjiu added the official title system to these courtiers, making up for their regret that they could not get the title. Besides, in their eyes, this is real power. As long as you do well in the future, you are not afraid that your majesty will not give you a title.When everyone thought of this, they all felt relieved.

Sure enough, this official post was just the beginning. Next, Xue Wanshu was promoted by Li Chongjiu to be the shepherd of Luoyang Mansion because of his meritorious service in persuading Meng Haigong to surrender.After Xue Wanshu came to Luoyang Mansion to Mushou, Zhongshu Shilang still kept three people.

And Shan Xiongxin was named the General of the Guard, from the third-rank military position, second only to Xu Shiji and others. General of soldiers.Shan Xiongxin was an old friend of Li Chongjiu, and he made great contributions to capturing Luoyang this time. He made great military exploits when he served under the command of Li Mi and Wang Shichong. Therefore, there was no objection from all the generals to enshrine Shan Xiong as the General of the Guard.
In addition, Wang Jun generals such as Tuo Baye, Guo Shancai, Guo Shiheng, and Wang Deren were also appointed as school lieutenants.

The Hou Wei army was mainly composed of 1000 cavalry directly under Shan Xiongxin, and then reorganized more than [-] people from Wang Shichong's old Jianghuai army. Li Chongjiu was worried that the Hou Wei army was insufficient, so he transferred [-] troops each from Xu Shiji's Tunwei Army and Wang Mahan's Yiwei Army. The troops, as well as the [-] Xi tribe cavalry begging for Ashu, were all included to enrich their army.

Begging for Ashu is logical, and Hou Weijun Hu Benlang will become the second Hu Benlang general of the Zhao army from the Fan people after Mohe general Wu Gunai.

In this way, the Hou Wei Army will have 8000 troops, all of whom have been battle-hardened. Li Chongjiu also agreed that Shan Xiongxin should recruit another 7000 troops within a year or two, bringing together a total of [-] troops, reaching the same quota as the other four major military forces. .

Now the five major government armies of Zhao State, Shan Xiongxin's Hou Weijun guards Luoyang, Yu Chigong's Xiaowei Army guards Taiyuan, Xu Shiji's Tunwei Army guards Wuyang County, Xue Wanche's Wuwei Army, and Wang Mahan's Emperor Yiwei Army are stationed in You In Beijing, Zhao Junfu has nearly [-] soldiers.

In addition, there are about 3 county soldiers, township soldiers, Meng Haigong, Wang Bo, and more than 20 horses, more than [-] Zhao Jun Navy, and Li Chongjiu has more than [-] troops.

After all, Da Zhao's capital is in Youjing, and Luoyang is not the first place to stay for a long time. Li Chongjiu appointed Xue Wanshu and Shan Xiongxin this time to guard Luoyang.In addition, Li Chongjiu also ordered Luo Shixin to lead the army to guard Hulao, Tanzong to guard Xuanyuan Pass, Su Dingfang to guard Heyang, and lock several large passages around Luoyang.

In Jiyin County to the east of Luoyang, Qi County and Wang Bo, Meng Haigong, and Li Chongjiu also ordered Xu Shiji's Tunwei Army to go south, and the three armies joined forces to put pressure on Xu Yuanlang who was in Yanzhou.
