Wang Chong smiled on his face, not long after he arrived in Dengzhou, he was originally just a captain of the accompaniment on the ninth grade, but now he has been promoted to the captain of Renyong on the ninth grade, which can be said to be two levels in a row. And in addition to being promoted to two ranks, he was also awarded the rank of Captain of the Seventh Rank Martial Cavalry.

Although by this time in the late Tang Dynasty, the original rank and title lost their original meaning, because of the rise of the feudal town, Jiedu made the marshal's mansion have the right to open the government and place bureaucrats, so the Jiedu marshal's mansion appointed a large number of subordinates. Most of the official positions appointed by the Jiedu Marshal Mansion were temporary envoys on the surface, and they were not official positions under the imperial court system. But in fact, the original system of honors in the imperial court has long existed in name only, and even the imperial court's nine-rank and thirty-rank official system has no practical significance. But even so, for a low-level junior officer like Wang Chong, the Renyong Captain on the Ninth Rank and the Cloud Cavalry Captain Rank from the Seventh Rank are of great significance. With the titles of Captain Renyong and Captain Wu Cai, Wang Chong's next substantive promotion is a matter of course.

Wang Da strode up to Li Jing, patted Li Jing's shoulder cordially and smiled: "Congratulations to Brother Li, no, it should be called Li Yuwu now." Yuwu crossed the ninth level outside the stream, and was promoted to six levels in one fell swoop, and was promoted to the eighth rank of the imperial martial arts captain, which really made a certain admiration sigh. Congratulations, congratulations, in the future, my brother will go straight in, please remember to bring more of them. ”

Wang Chong's expression was a little complicated, not only happy for the promotion of this brother who had fought side by side, but also a little worried about Li Jing's sudden leap over him, and the rank surpassed his two grades. After all, when he first met Li Jing, he was already a captain from Jiupin, and Li Jing was just a white farmer who had just been recruited from the countryside at that time. But now that a short time has passed, Li Jing has actually become the captain of the imperial martial arts of the eighth grade, surpassing him by two grades.

Zhang Hong also immediately surrounded him, he had just been awarded the rank of lieutenant from the ninth rank, although it was only the lowest level of loose rank, but it was a real rank. Zhang Hongke failed to pass the examination for many years, and originally thought that there was no chance to be an official in this life, and he could only become a knife and pen official, but unexpectedly, he went to Qingning Township to recruit a united army, and actually let him meet bandits, and Li Jing gave him a military merit head, so that he jumped to the rank of martial arts from the ninth grade.

"Congratulations to Brother Li, who has been promoted to the rank of Captain of the Seventh Rank Cloud Cavalry." Zhang Hong's tone was full of gratitude to Li Jing, but also with a hint of envy. is the seventh grade, this is equivalent to the grade of a county magistrate's county order.

More and more people gathered around and congratulated Li Jing, and Li Jing gradually regained his calm.

While nodding his head to the people who came to congratulate him, he was recalling in his mind the long list of rewards and rewards that Song Wen had just recited.

Li Jing was first promoted to the rank of Imperial Martial Commander of the Eighth Rank of Martial Arts, and then he was transferred to the rank of Captain of the Seventh Rank Cloud Cavalry. Then, Ziqing Pinglu Jiedu Marshal's Mansion actually awarded Li Jing Dengzhou to unite the soldiers of Wendeng Camp on the left one. In addition, Li Jing was also awarded 100 acres of Xuntian equal to the rank of Zhengqipin Cloud Cavalry Captain, 300 acres of vocational land for the first real job, 4 yuan per month, 75 stone per year for Lu rice, and 10 yuan for miscellaneous labor.

As a seventh-grade cloud cavalry captain, Li Jing's family is exempt from taxes.

Of course, in addition to these, there are also four fifty taels of silver collars that Song Wei was rewarded, totaling two hundred taels.

"The marshal attaches great importance to you, and this time it is impossible for you to rise so high at once with your military merits. However, the handsome has always been talented, especially young generals such as Captain Li. These two hundred taels of silver were given to you by Song Jieshuai with his own money bag, but thank you so much. Song Wen saw that there were fewer people celebrating Li Jing, so he walked over with a smile.

"The marshal and the Song Du Yu Marquis cultivated, the post is unforgettable, and the Song Du Yu Marquis is also invited to tell the festival marshal, the post is willing to be the pawn of the festival marshal in the future, everything is to the festival marshal horse is the first to look forward, know the grace of the encounter, go to the soup to go to the blade, at the expense." Song Wei praised him like this, of course Li Jing knew how to answer, and at this time, Song Wen was most willing to listen to the words of sincerity and loyalty.

Sure enough, after Li Jing said these explicit words hugging his thighs, Song Wen's eyes narrowed with a smile. He also reached out and patted Li Jing's arm, and said with a smile: "It's good to remember it in your heart, it's good to remember." By the way, you see that just now I was talking, but I forgot the most important thing.

As he spoke, Song Wen took out a piece of five-color silk paper with golden flowers from his arms, handed it to Li Jing and said, "I almost forgot just now, this is your official position." ”

Li Jing took the five-color silk paper with golden flowers and unfolded it to watch. I saw that the above is a beautiful calligraphy font, the first sentence is: Edict: The army is the sword of the emperor, and the general is the dry city of the country. The stability of the society must be carried out by the army. If there is no good general, how can you settle the country? The captain of the imperial martial arts school, Yun Caiwei, and the Dengzhou unity battalion are Li Jing, who killed the four bandits with extraordinary courage. Loyal to the minister's festival, Zhenguan military model. Join the army and serve as a worker. Static is dedicated to its rectangular side, and it is called suspension. But there is one, and it is true to all nations. He can be appointed as the head of the left general of the Wendeng Battalion of the Dengzhou United Army, and the rank of dismissal awarded before will remain unchanged. "The back is stamped with the seal of the Shang Shu Military Department.

After reading this letter, Li Jing was a little shocked, because this was actually a letter stamped by the Chang'an Military Department, and it didn't seem to be a general, but like to make him the prime minister.

Facing Li Jing's surprised expression, Song Wen smiled: "Don't worry too much, originally my Datang appointed officials passed the examination, first agreed by the Shangshu servant, and then reported to the subordinate province, and then read the examination situation by the middle of the matter, and the Huangmen squire inspected it, and then reported to the emperor after the review by the servant, and then implemented by the competent department." All those who are awarded officials from various sources and even the ministers are given a letter, and the stamped letter is "the seal of the scribe's department", which is called the confession, and the military attache is awarded by the military department. But this was all a few years ago, and since the Anshi Rebellion, this set has existed in name only. The current situation is that there are more than 20 scribes in the imperial court who keep copying and telling their bodies day and night, all in a uniform format, but the names of the officials are blank. Then it was sent to the following Fangzhen Jiedu Marshal's Mansion, and each Jiedu envoy had almost hundreds of blank seals in his hand. In this way, when the officials below are to be promoted, there is no need to report to the imperial court to go through troublesome procedures. So don't be surprised if you read those words above. Actually, it's all a cliché, no matter how big or small an official is, in fact, the notice he got is that paragraph, but the official position and name are different. ”

Hearing such an explanation, Li Jing couldn't help but feel the urge to laugh. It is such an important thing to confer officials, but now the imperial court has completely handed over this right to the local feudal towns, and the imperial court Shangshu Province and other institutions that were originally responsible for the appointment and dismissal of officials have become a rubber stamp.

"By the way, this is the letter of appointment for the rank of general granted to you by the marshal." Song Wen was most embarrassed and then took out a piece of appointment document from his arms. Li Jing took it and opened it, but it was the Ziqing Pinglu Jiedu Marshal Mansion who awarded Li Jing the post of general.

Seeing this appointment, he smiled slightly, and he didn't know what the meaning of the Dao was.

Li Jing was promoted this time, the rank officer is the captain of the imperial martial arts, the title is the captain of the seventh rank cloud cavalry, and the actual position is the head of the left general of the Wendeng battalion of the Dengzhou United Army. However, among these official titles, since the scattered ranks and honors are almost all in name, they don't even have much practical significance. At the local level, in fact, there was already another complete set of civil and military bureaucracy systems in each feudal town.

However, because the feudal towns were still under the rule of the Tang Dynasty on the surface, most of the official positions under these feudal towns were in the name of envoys, that is, they were all temporary official positions on the surface. Such as the festival envoy, the observation envoy, the defense envoy, etc., are actually various temporary official positions appointed by the central court of the Tang Dynasty. There were hundreds of various kinds of envoys established by the central court and the shogunate of the feudal towns, but on the surface, these official positions were all rankless, and the official rank of the official position held in these official positions was based on the rank of the official.

The so-called official rank is to have other official positions in the imperial court, such as the Jiedu envoy, who will generally concurrently serve as the assassin or the official position of Tongping Zhangshi. Under the shogunate, in order to distinguish the order of upper and lower official positions, the official positions of these shogunates also had a very complete set of official positions of the nature of ranks.

The position of a loose general that Li Jing has now is actually an official position in the nature of a rank, in a sense, it is the same as the nature of his imperial military captain, he has no position and nothing to do, and it is only used to determine the rank.

The rank of the shogun is the fourth to last among the twenty-seven levels of the shogunate, and his corresponding shogunate military commander is precisely the actual position of the general at the capital level. With this shogunate-rank officer, it already means that Li Jing has officially stepped into the army under the command of the Ziqing Pinglu Jiedu Marshal Mansion.

Song Wen patted Li Jing on the shoulder, and sighed in his heart that this young man's luck was indeed very good. I have never seen such a young man, who was just a farmer one moment, but the next moment he joined the United Army, and when he encountered bandits halfway, he not only did not have anything to do, but he made a great contribution to killing the bandits. As soon as he arrived in Penglai, he was accepted as a protégé by Assassin Shi and Yu Xuan, and now he has been valued by the festival envoy, and this kid's luck is indeed too good, even to the point of being a little demonic. It's just that such a person just doesn't know if the good fortune of the Dao can withstand this continuous good luck?

"Originally, I planned to hold a banquet in the mansion tonight to celebrate your achievements, but I heard that your old handsome Yu Gong has been promoted to the defense envoy of Fengzhou, and you must have something to say when you leave. In addition, you will definitely have to celebrate with your brothers this time. Then I won't disturb your happiness for the time being, and after this while, I will set up a few more tables in the house when I have time, and you can come over for dinner. ”

As soon as these words came out, they made all the officials and soldiers on the side envious. No matter how good Song Wen was to Li Jing before, it can also be regarded as a scene of words. But now these few words, the attitude and tone are the tone of the elders and juniors, everyone is envious, this kid is too lucky, so many big people value him so much.

Li Jing also felt flattered, and hurriedly nodded: "I will come to visit after another day!" ”
