Chapter 093: Ranking
Every month, the tenth day is the day of rest, so on April 19th, the Central Army Governor's Office, which was still preparing, suddenly became lively. The reason was that hundreds of officers from the four camps of the Beijing camp outside the city, led by Wei Donglai, Ruichang and Xu Yong, returned to the Governor's Office one after another.
Zhuang Yanchao, who just joined the Jinyiwei today, also returned to the Governor's Office with more than 20 newly promoted Jinyijia.
As soon as they came back, they caused a small sensation because, from the perspective of the court system, they were not from the Governor's Office, but a bit like people who married from their parents' home, so they had a little bit of a return home.
"Zhuang Yanchao, are you back to your parents' home?" Rui Chang rushed to cheer and said loudly, "How are you treating you in the in-laws?"
"General Ruizan is wrong," Zhuang Yanchao smiled calmly, "We are all soldiers of the prince consort, and we don't distinguish each other."
Rui Chang was not convinced and wanted to say something, but Wei Donglai smiled and pulled it away.
Because we haven't gone to the yamen yet, everyone is still wearing public uniforms. Wei Donglai's sharp eyes had long seen a leopard embroidered on the patch on Zhuang Yanchao's chest, indicating that he had been promoted to the fourth-rank military position.
Wei Donglai and Rui Chang, the ones who showed off their tuts are all tigers, representing third-rank martial arts ranks, which are higher than fourth-ranks. But the problem is that Zhuang Yanchao's fourth-rank...
Xu Yong also saw it, looked at the patch on his chest enviously, and asked in surprise: "Lao Zhuang, have you been promoted to commander?"
In front of Xu Yong, Zhuang Yanchao could not hold it up. He nodded embarrassedly and said, "Shame, ashamed."
Xu Yong grabbed his hand, widened his eyes and asked, "Nan Town Fu Shi..."
"Nan Fu is naturally under the jurisdiction of the prince-consort." Zhuang Yanchao said with a smile.
Everyone understood that Zhuang Yanchao took over the position of commanding the Fushishi of the Jinyiwei Nanzhen.
The dragon gate jumped, this was no joke, everyone was a little silent for a moment.
The rank of the Jinyiwei cannot be judged by common sense. For example, if the commander of the Jinyiwei is not given a title, his job will be only a third-rank, but even other first-rank officials must retreat. As for Zhuang Yanchao's commander, he is in charge of the Nanzhen Fusi. When ordinary deputy generals and generals of the second and third-ranks of the deputy generals and generals who are not given a title, they can only bow their eyebrows when they see him.
Ruichang then understood why Wei Donglai pulled him away. He felt a little embarrassed and said embarrassedly: "Yanchao, we are our own brothers, you can't take it to your heart."
Zhuang Yanchao said cheerfully: "Lao Rui, where are you talking about? I am such a person. Besides, whoever is going to do anything and whoever takes the position is all assigned by the prince consort. This is still my Zhuang Yanchao's home."
That's true. Ruichang and Zhuang Yanchao laughed, a little embarrassment changed to nothing, and the atmosphere in the room became happy again.
Xu Yong thought to himself that on Zhuang Yanchao's side, the Jinyiwei supervised the world, and the Nanzhen Fushi Office was in charge of Ji Feng. On his own, he was appointed as the five armies' severance officer and the general of the five armies' criminal prisons. In fact, Ji Feng was in charge.
Thinking about this, I can guess a little bit about the intentions of the prince-consort.
But what about...
"Lao Zhuang, you have to invite a drink!" He pulled Zhuang Yanchao's public uniform and said enviously: "You leopards and tigers, how majestic and beautiful you look? Look at me, a bear!"
The military officer's patches are embroidered with lions, the third-grade tigers, the fourth-grade leopards, and the fifth-grade bears and crotchs, so no wonder Xu Yong envies others.
Everyone laughed, and Wei Donglai said, "Is it our turn to compete here? Look at the experience of Ruan, there is a big white bird on his chest, and he is smiling aside and hasn't even spoken yet!"
Ruan Ming was promoted to the fifth-rank civil service this time. When Wei Dong talked about him, he felt very proud and said, "Xu Yong's embroidered bear squid, not a bear. As for me, the embroidered bird is called a white squid, not a big white bird."
"It turns out that Ruan is experiencing birds," Wei Donglai smiled, "Ours are all beasts. When we add up, we are beasts in clothes."
Everyone burst into laughter, but someone behind him asked, "What's so funny?"
Everyone looked back and saw that the prince-consort walked into the hall at some point and was smiling at everyone.
"The governor is here, salute!" Wei Donglai shouted loudly, and he knelt half on the ground and saluted.
Zhou Shixian looked at the officers kneeling in the hall, and felt a moment in his heart, as if he had returned to the first time he met these brothers in the Ten Princes Mansion.
These people who follow their lives through life and death will become the backbone of their own army.
"I'm exempted, it's not in the military camp." Zhou Shixian said, "Get up."
Everyone stood up and a group of trusted generals came up to say hello to him. Some called the governor, some called the governor, and some called the prince-consor, and some called the prince-consor, which was so inconsistent.
Zhou Shixian was not very concerned about himself. He nodded and greeted each other, heading south all the way, and was together every day. This time he hadn't seen each other for a few days, and everyone seemed to feel particularly intimate when they met.
At this moment, Zhou Shixian felt the urge to stand on the stage and say something to them. But thinking that he had worked hard for several days, he specially explained to the kitchen to invite everyone to dinner and comfort him. Why should he ruin the scenery and let everyone listen to a smelly and long speech?
I won’t say it anymore, it’s all in the wine.
After having a meal with everyone, the fun was over, Zhou Shixian Yugu Shiba led the way with a lantern and returned to his own yard in Hou Mansion. When he saw that the lights had turned off in the west wing and it was dark, he knew that Hongye had already slept.
Gu Shiba fed him water and said, "You should rest early, so you bowed and left, and closed the door for him."
He didn't drink much, and lay on the bed for a while, and suddenly remembered the three stars in the flowerbed on the small treasure hunt map. Yesterday, he dug a big one with Hongye, but he was in vain. But there were two small ones. Should I try it?
After a while, I thought about what if I had to work hard in the middle of the night and dig out a bunch of treasure money, I couldn't help but feel a little discouraged. After a while, I thought, I couldn't say that the entire underground of the royal palace was full of treasure money, so I was a little eager to try it out.
Once this thought arises in my mind, it will not be so easy to get rid of it. After tossing and turning for a while, I finally gritted my teeth, turned over and got up, picked up the oil lamp from the table, touched a shovel next to the door, opened the door lightly, and headed straight to the flowerbed behind the main hall.
Yesterday it was all up to Hongye. Today he decided to support himself. If he digs out the money, he can give Hongye a surprise tomorrow. If he can't dig it, he will just pretend that nothing has happened and he will not lose face.
He opened the small map, determined the location, and excavated decisively.
After digging the third time, I suddenly felt a creepy feeling in my heart, as if there was a red shadow floating behind him, swaying by.
