Chapter 618: The official position is more important than the title
When Duan Da heard Li Chongjiu say this, his face suddenly turned red for a while. He also knew that he was really useless and was old. Li Chongjiu was already sympathetic if he didn't exile him like Changsun Anshi.
Duan Da knelt down and kowtowed, saying, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
When Duan Da walked out of the hall with a staggering pace, the ministers present couldn't help but feel unbearable. There was reward and punishment, and letting the ministers see their ways of dealing with things was also Li Chongjiu's purpose. This is how people are. If they just reward, then the rewards would not be happy.
Seeing Duan Da, Changsun Anshi's fate, Du Yan and Xue Deyin had nothing to do just now, and they were secretly grateful in their hearts.
When they arrived here, Li Chongjiu looked at Yu Shinan and Ouyang Xun. When they saw Li Chongjiu's eyes swept over, they all subconsciously lowered their heads. They were both Yu Wen and surrendered ministers. Although Li Chongjiu had promised them at the beginning, there was something between emperors and meritorious officials that had cunning rabbits died and lackeys were cooked.
Although the two knew that they had just made great contributions, they all said that the emperor's heart was unpredictable. Who knew what Li Chongjiu thought at this time? Yu Shinan and Ouyang Xun lowered their heads and made themselves humble.
Li Chongjiu smiled and said, "Yu Aiqing, convinced Wang Bo to surrender, and made great contributions to my victory in the Qi County without fighting. You have been the Minister of the Yellow Sect. Now I will transfer you to the Minister of the Secretariat and serve as Minister of the Secretariat."
"Your Majesty." Yu Shinan was surprised and happy. The Huangmen Shigong worked for the Ministry of Education. As we all know, in order to seize power, Li Chongjiu abolished the Ministry of Education like Yang Guang. For example, the official position that was granted to Xue Deyin was also a member of the Ministry of Education. The Ministry of Education had theoretically the power to review and refute the imperial edicts, but now there is no Ministry of Education. The Ministry of Education wanted to refute the memorials, so who would support them?
Therefore, as a fifth-rank official, the ministers of the ministry are far inferior to those of the Central Secretariat, and the Central Secretariat of the Central Secretariat. You should know that the promotion of the Central Secretariat of the State of Zhao is the easiest to be promoted. If you move to the Central Secretariat of the Central Secretariat, you should first become the Central Secretariat of the Central Secretariat. If you move to the Central Secretariat of the Central Secretariat, you will mostly be placed in the local area as the county magistrate.
There are already two county magistrates in Dazhao and have served as the post of the Secretariat of the Central Secretariat. Zhao Xin is one of them. Although this position is not high, it is most likely to show his face in front of the emperor.
However, some people also thought that the Secretariat Minister was an adjutant of the Secretariat Province. Now that the Secretariat Minister has three Secretariat Ministers, isn’t this going to add a fourth one?
Yu Shinan couldn't hold back his tears, Ouyang Xun whispered from the side: "Brother Yu, don't you kneel down and thank you?"
Yu Shinan bent his legs and knelt down, but at this time someone in the hall was already whispering: "This Yu Shinan is just a slander with a very poor character. He did not say anything about flattering Emperor Wu during the previous dynasty, but also served Yu Wenhua and Yu. How could such a villain be the Minister of the Secretariat?"
"Brother Xu, don't be dissatisfied. If you can also tell Your Majesty that two counties will come to you, Your Majesty will also give you the Secretariat."
"What are you kidding?"
Yu Shinan felt guilty when he heard the person behind him whispering, and immediately said, "Your Majesty, I don't dare to take this."
Li Chongjiu said: "I say I should take it if I say I should take it."
As he said that, Li Chongjiu helped Yu Shinan up.
"Ouyang Aiqing."
"I am here." Ouyang Xun quickly lowered his head.
Li Chongjiu said: "This time you have made contributions to the Liang State, and the last time you have attracted Liu Dian, He Chou also made contributions to our army. I will reward you for your contributions, so you will be the Minister of Rites."
"There are also Liu Dian Aiqing. I have appointed you as the Chief Censor of the Censor, the fourth rank."
Ouyang Xun and Liu Diao bowed and thanked each other.
Only then did everyone realize that Li Chongjiu's promotion to the position was to compensate those who failed to be awarded the title during the last time he ascended the throne ceremony. After all, although Wang Bo, Meng Haigong, Yang Ming, Dou Jiande and others were granted the title of the prince, they did not grant real positions. Without real power, the end of their life.
Although the prince goes further and has room for promotion, everyone knows that the prince will not be granted to outsiders except for Li Chongjiu's son. Wang Bo and Meng Haigong are a little better, at least they have military power in hand, but to put it bluntly, Yang Ming and Dou Jiande will have no worries about food and clothing in the next life. The court will support you for the rest of your life, but if you want to gain power, don't think about it.
This time, Li Chongjiu added the official system to make up for the regret that they could not get a title for these ministers. Moreover, in their eyes, this is true real power. As long as you do well in the future, you are not afraid that Your Majesty will not give you a title. Everyone feels confident when they think about this.
As expected, the addition of official positions was only the beginning. Later, because of persuading Meng Haigong to surrender, Xue Wanshu was appointed as the Muslim Guard of Luoyang Prefecture by Li Chongji. From the third-rank Zhongshu Shishu to the second-rank Luoyang Prefecture Chief. Xue Wanshu Shishu Shishu Shishu Shishu was promoted to the Muslim Guard of Luoyang Prefecture, the three people remained.
Shan Xiongxin was named General Houwei, and was second only to Xu Shiji and others in the third-rank general. Houwei was the name of the sixteen guards' military soldiers. Li Chongji obviously intends to promote Shan Xiongxin to the general of the fifth guards' military. Shan Xiongxin was a former friend of Li Chongji. This time he seized Luoyang and made great contributions. He also made great achievements when he served under Li Mi and Wang Shichong, so he signed Shan Xiong as General Houwei, and no one had any objections to the general.
In addition, the generals of the Wang army, Ru Tuo Baye, Guo Shancai, Guo Shiheng and Wang Deren were also appointed as lieutenants.
The Hou Wei Army was mainly composed of Shan Xiongxin's direct cavalry, and then reorganized more than 2,000 former troops of the Jianghuai army. Li Chongjiu was worried that the Hou Wei Army would not have enough combat power, so he transferred 1,000 troops from Xu Shiji's guards and Wang Mahan's guards, and Qi A Shu's three thousand Xi cavalry were all incorporated into the enrichment of their troops.
Qia Shu naturally became the Huben General of the Houwei Army, becoming the second Huben General from the Zhao army from Wugunai, the second Huben General from the foreigners.
In this way, the Hou Wei army had 8,000 troops, all of which were experienced in battle. Li Chongjiu also agreed that Shan Xiongxin would recruit another 7,000 troops within one or two years, collect 15,000 units, and reach the same quota as the other four major prefecture troops.
Now the five major government troops of Zhao State, Shan Xiongxin's Hou Wei army guards Luoyang, Yuchi Gong's Xiao Guards guards Taiyuan, Xu Shijitun guards Wuyang County, Xue Wanche's Wu Guards, and Wang Mahan's emperor's personal guards were stationed in Youjing, and the Zhao army's mansion had nearly 80,000 troops.
In addition, there are about 100,000 county soldiers, village soldiers, Meng Haigong, Wang Bo, and more than 30,000 troops, more than 10,000 Zhao army naval troops, and Li Chongjiu's troops exceed 200,000.
After all, the capital of Dazhao is in Youjing, and Luoyang is not the first to stay for a long time. This time, Li Chongjiu appointed Xue Wanshu and Shan Xiongxin, and asked the two to guard Luoyang. In addition, Li Chongjiu also ordered Luo Shixin to lead his army to guard Hulao, Tanzong guard Xuanyuan Pass, and Su Dingfang guards Heyang, locking several large passages around Luoyang.
