Chapter 49 Promotion
Wang Chong smiled. He had just arrived in Dengzhou. He had just arrived in Dengzhou. He had only been promoted from the ninth rank to the ninth rank Renyong lieutenant, who was promoted to the ninth rank Renyong lieutenant. He was promoted two levels in a row. In addition to being promoted to the two-level scattered rank, he was also transferred by Ce Xun and awarded the title of the seventh rank Wuqiwei.
Although in the late Tang Dynasty, the initial ranks and titles of ranks lost their original meaning. Because the rise of vassal states and the Jiedushi General's Office had the right to establish officials, the Jiedushi General's Office appointed a large number of officials. On the surface, most of the official positions appointed by the Jiedushi General's Office were temporary positions, and they were not formal official positions under the court system. But in fact, the original system of the imperial court's official official had long been in name only, and even the imperial court's rank of ninth rank of thirty ranks had no practical significance. But even so, for a lower-level small officer like Wang Chong, the title of Renyong's rank of the ninth rank of Yunqi lieutenant who was from the seventh rank of rank of rank of rank of rank of rank of rank of rank of rank of rank of rank of rank of rank of rank of rank of rank of rank of rank of rank of rank of rank of rank of rank of rank of rank of rank of rank of rank of rank of rank of rank of rank of rank of rank of rank of rank of rank of rank of rank of rank of rank of rank of rank of rank of rank of rank of rank of rank of rank of rank of rank of rank of rank of rank of rank of rank of rank of rank of rank of rank of rank of rank of rank of rank of rank of rank of rank of rank of rank of rank of rank of rank of rank of rank of rank of rank of rank of rank of rank of rank of rank of rank of rank of rank of rank of rank of rank of rank of rank of rank of rank of rank of rank of rank of rank of rank of rank of rank of rank of rank of rank of rank of rank of rank of rank
Wang Chong walked to Li Jing and patted Li Jing's shoulder kindly and smiled: "Congratulations to Brother Li, no, now he should be called Li Yuwu. Yuwu crossed the ninth level outside the river, and was promoted to level 6 in one fell swoop, and was promoted to the eighth-rank Yuwu Captain. It really made me admire and sigh. Congratulations, my brother is coming straight in the future. Please remember to support me."
Wang Chong's expression was a little complicated. He was happy for the reward of this brother who had fought side by side, and he was also a little worried about Li Jing's sudden jumping over him, and his grade surpassed him. After all, when he first met Li Jing, he was already a rank of the ninth rank of Rong's lieutenant, and Li Jing was just a Bai Ding farmer who had just been recruited from the countryside. But now just after a short time, Li Jing actually became the eighth rank of Yuwu's lieutenant, surpassing him.
Zhang Hong also surrounded him immediately. He had just been awarded the title of Deputy Guard of the Ninth-rank, but although he was only the lowest level of the scattered rank, he had a real rank. Zhang Hong failed the imperial examination for many years. He originally thought that he would no longer have the opportunity to be an official in this life and could only become a minor official in his pen, but unexpectedly, he went to Qingning Township to recruit a united army, which actually made him meet bandits, and Li Jing gave him a military merit-level, which made him jump to the Wusan rank of the Ninth-rank.
"Congratulations to Brother Li, for being promoted to the title of Yunqiwei in the seventh rank." Zhang Hong's tone was full of gratitude for Li Jing, and a hint of envy. The seventh rank is equivalent to the rank of a county magistrate.
More and more people gathered around to celebrate Li Jing, and Li Jing gradually returned to peace.
While nodding to everyone who came to congratulate him, he recalled in his mind the long list of rewards and rewards from Song Wen just recited.
Li Jing was first promoted to the rank of the 8th-rank Wusan-rank Yuwu Clerk, and then was promoted to the rank of the 7th-rank Yunqiwei. Then, the General Office of the Pinglu Jiedu of Ziqing was actually appointed as the head of the left-hand general of the Wendeng Camp of Dengzhou. In addition, Li Jing was also awarded 100 mu of honor land equal to the rank of the 7th-rank Yunqiwei, with a real position of 300 mu of land, a monthly salary of 4 guan per month, a monthly salary of 75 guan per year, and a subsidy of 10 guan of labor and other subsidies.
As the seventh-rank Yunqi Weixun official, Li Jing's family was exempted from tax payments.
Of course, in addition to these, there were four silver tins of fifty taels rewarded by the governor Song Wei, totaling 200 taels.
"Jingshuai attaches great importance to you. This time, you could not have been able to rise so high with your military merits. However, Jishuai has always been the only one who can use talents, especially like young generals like Li Xiaowei. The 200 taels of silver was given to you by Song Jieshuai, but I have to thank Jishuai." After seeing that there were fewer people celebrating Li Jing, Song Wen walked over with a smile.
"The Master Jie and the Master of Song Du Yu were cultivated. I would never forget my position. I also asked the Master of Song Du Yu to tell him that he would be the master of the horse in the future. He would follow the leader of the horse in the future. He would follow the favor of the master of the horse. He would not hesitate to know the kindness of the meeting. He would go through fire and blades." Song Wei praised this, and Li Jing knew how to answer. At this time, he would be too sincere and loyal to him. This was what Song Wen was most willing to listen to.
Sure enough, after Li Jing finished speaking with these explicit thighs, Song Wen narrowed his eyes. He also reached out to pat Li Jing's arm and smiled, "Just remember it in my heart, just remember it. By the way, you see, just talk just now, but you still forgot the most important thing.
As he said that, Song Wen took out a piece of golden flower five-color silk paper from his arms and handed it to Li Jing and said, "I almost forgot just now. This is your official position."
Li Jing took this piece of golden flowers and five-color silk paper and opened it to watch it. I saw a beautiful running script font on it. The first sentence was: Imperial: The army is the sword of the emperor, and the generals are the city of the country. The country is stable, and the army must be the first. If there are good generals, how can we safe the country? The Yuwu School Commander Yunqiwei Dengzhou Tuanjie, the chief of the Tuanjie, killed the four bandits with extraordinary courage. He was loyal and moved by the ministers and the Zhenguan Army. He devoted himself to the army and obeyed the country. He was calm and dedicated to the direct direction, and was called suspended explanation. However, once he had it, he could be appointed as the head of the left-hand general of the Wendeng Camp of Dengzhou Tuanjie, and according to the previous awards, the original unchanged." The seal of the Shangshu War Department was sealed.
After reading this letter of confession, Li Jing felt a little shocked because it was actually a confession stamped by the Minister of War of Chang'an, and it was not like he was given the title of general, but like he wanted to be the prime minister.
Facing Li Jing's surprised expression, Song Wen smiled: "Don't care too much. Originally, after the Tang Dynasty's appointment of officials was qualified, the Shangshu Pushe first agreed, and then reported to the Ministry of War, and then the staff read the examination situation. The Huangmen Shishu's assistant minister inspected it, and the Shishu reported it to the emperor, and then the competent department carried out the execution. Anyone who was appointed from officials from various ways to officials and even the ministers gave a letter to the "Seal of the Ministry of Personnel's Announcement" was called a letter to the military officer, and the military officer was granted by the Ministry of War. However, this was a matter of a long time ago. Since the Anshi Rebellion, this set has been considered a name-and-dead. The current situation
Yes, the court specially raised more than 20 clerks to copy and prosecutors day and night, all in a unified format, but the name of the official was blank. Then it was sent to the Fangzhen Jiedu Mansion below. Each Jiedushi almost had hundreds of blanks of prosecutors with long-form seals. In this way, when the officials were promoted to the lower level, there was no need to report to the court to go through troublesome procedures. So don't be surprised after reading the above words. In fact, they are all clichés. No matter whether it is a big or small official, the prosecutors they received were actually that paragraph, but the official position and name were different from the name."
Hearing this explanation, Li Jing couldn't help but feel the urge to laugh. How important it is to be appointed to an official, but now the court has completely handed over this right to local vassal states, while the imperial court's Secretariat and other institutions, which were originally responsible for the appointment and removal of officials, have become a rubber stamp.
"By the way, this is the appointment letter of the san general who was granted to you by the general of Jie." Song Wen finally took out a document of appointment from his arms. Li Jing took it and opened it, but Li Jing was appointed as the san general by the General Office of the General of Jiedu in Pinglu of Ziqing.
Seeing this appointment, he smiled slightly, and didn't know what the meaning of it was.
This time, Li Jing was promoted to the award. The rank of the eighth-rank imperial military lieutenant, the rank of the seventh-rank Yunqiwei, and the actual position was the first general of the left of the Wendeng Camp of the Dengzhou Tuanmen Army. However, among these official titles, the rank of the rank and the honorary officials were almost all in name only, and there was not even much practical significance. In the local area, there had been a complete set of civil and military ranks in various vassal states.
However, since the various vassal states still under the rule of the Tang Dynasty, the official positions under these vassal states were mostly under the title of vocation, that is, they were all temporary officials on the surface. Such as the governor, the observer, the defense envoy, etc., were actually various temporary officials appointed by the central court of the Tang Dynasty. There were hundreds of various vocations established by the central court and the shogunate of the vassal states, but on the surface, these official positions were all rankless and rankless, and the ranks of the official positions held by these official positions must be based on the rank of the official.
The so-called rank of this official means that there must be other formal official positions in the court, such as the governor, or the same-sing-shoulder official positions. Under the shogunate, these shogunate official positions also have a very complete set of official positions in order to distinguish the order of superior and subordinate official positions.
The scattered general position that Li Jing obtained now is actually an official position of rank and official nature. In the sense, it is the same as his Imperial Martial College Captain. It has no position and is only used to determine the rank.
The rank of the scattered general is the fourth last among the 27th grade of the shogunate military ranks. The actual position of the scattered general is the first-level general. With this scattered general, it means that Li Jing has officially entered the military sequence officer under the command of the Jiedu General's Office of Pinglu, Ziqing.
Song Wen patted Li Jing on the shoulder and sighed in his heart that this young man had good luck. He had never seen such a young man. He was just a farmer the moment he had just joined the army, but the next moment he joined the army and met the bandits halfway. He not only had nothing to do, but he made great contributions to killing the bandits. As soon as he arrived in Penglai, he was taken as a disciple by the governor and Yu Guan. Now he was valued by the governor. This kid's luck was indeed a little better, even to the point of being a bit evil. But such a person doesn't know whether the blessings can withstand this continuous good luck?
"I originally planned to hold a banquet for you all the soldiers who were promoted to the palace to celebrate the commendation, but I heard that your old commander, Yu Gong, has been promoted to Fengzhou Metropolitan Defense Envoy, and you must have something to say before leaving. In addition, you must also celebrate with your brothers for this promotion. Then I will not disturb you for the time being. After this time, I will set up a few tables in the palace when you have time, and come and have a meal."
As soon as these words were said, the officials and soldiers around were envious. No matter how good Song Wen was to Li Jing, it could be regarded as a scene. But now these few words are the tone of elders and younger generations. Everyone was envious. This kid was so lucky that so many big people valued him so much.
Li Jing was also flattered and nodded quickly and said, "I will visit you when I change my daily position!"
PS: Military positions in the late Tang vassal states (with rank and official nature): left squad capital head → right squad capital head → left squad capital head → right squad head , left squad yamen → right squad yamen → left squad yamen → right squad yamen → right squad yamen → right squad yamen → right squad yamen → right squad yamen → left squad yamen → right squad yamen → right squad yamen → left squad yamen → right squad yamen → left squad yamen → right squad yamen → ten generals → ten generals → dispersed generals → same squad yamen → same squad yamen → deputy generals → dispersed deputy generals.
