Chapter 360 The Grand Marshal of the Zhongzhou Army
"Old minister is here!" Li Guangshan went out and knelt on the ground.
"The case of Wu Xukuan's rebellion and chaos... My dear returned at an old age when the country was in danger, and gave the rebels a head-on blow to wipe out the Baijiang army first..." The empress was talking a lot again.
The hall was extremely quiet. Except for the empress who was talking, no one was whispering to each other. Everyone listened very seriously.
It was even more serious than the empress when she rewarded Zhou An.
Because the empress rewarded Zhou An, what would she rewarded was almost a certain amount and there would not be much change. Zhou An made great contributions to the killing of traitors, but due to his identity as an eunuch in the inner court, the reward level of his reward could not reach the reward level of civil officials and military generals.
Even Kang Longji was granted the title of Duke after his death because he was an eunuch.
But speaking of this, does this affect anything.
Eunuchs do not need such a high title, just as the head of civil servants is the chief minister of the cabinet. Regardless of whether the chief minister of the cabinet has a title, in the court, even the prince, he must be under the chief minister of the cabinet.
For eunuchs, the most important and most important thing is the position of eunuchs in charge of the seal, not the title.
Because of the tradition of proposing votes and awarding prizes, the eunuch in charge of the seal, or the chief supervisor of the main office of the Sili Superintendent, can almost be said to be another "cabinet chief assistant". This position is already a must-have Zhou An, and there is no suspense, and no one will go back to fight!
It is different to reward Li Guangshan!
What kind of reward the empress gave Li Guangshan would indirectly determine the position changes of a large number of people and affect the ranking of the entire civil servant group. Now Li Guangshan is calling for the prime minister of the cabinet, but there are still some not-so-big variables.
Even if these variables are not mentioned, Li Guangshan is the chief minister of the cabinet. Whether he serves as the Secretary of the Six Ministry of War is also a question... He is now the Minister of War. If he does not serve as the Minister of War, then this position will be vacant. Who will the new Minister of War?
All the civil and military officials in the court listened carefully.
The empress probably said Li Guangshan's achievements, but then changed her voice and mentioned it ten years ago.
"Eleventh year ago, Wu Xukuan stepped down as the Grand Marshal of Zhongzhou Army, and the Grand Marshal was temporarily suspended. Nine years ago, after the Baiyu case, the Grand Marshal was permanently removed by the late emperor. In those years, the court was still stable and the world was still peaceful..." The empress mentioned the Baiyu case that Wu Xukuan stepped down and the sensation of the world!
Although Zhou An has never experienced the Baiyu case, he has heard of it and understood it.
Simply put, this is a bloody incident caused by a piece of jade. White jade refers to a piece of flawless jade that the small southwestern country, "Dianshui Kingdom", paid tribute to the Dongqian Dynasty. This jade is the national treasure of the Dianshui Kingdom. Whether in terms of quality or size, it is almost the best in the world and its value is immeasurable.
This flawless jade was tributed to the then Goddess Empress.
However, it was not in the hands of the Emperor of God.
He was greedy and replaced by another piece of slightly worse jade, which means that the tribute received by the Emperor of God is fake.
After several changes, the flawless jade fell into the hands of "Duke Yongguo". Duke Yongguo Luo Sihu was older than Wu Xuli at that time. He served as the Grand Marshal of the Southern Army and the Deputy Commander of the Zhongzhou Army.
At that time, the position of the Grand Marshal of the Zhongzhou Army was suspended for more than a year. The Emperor of Goddess did not know what he thought, and after Wu Xukuan stepped down, he did not make any appointments again.
Many people are active.
Those old generals were all in contact and looking for a way out, and Duke of Yongguo Luo Sihu was one of them.
So he gave the national treasure of Dian River to the then crown prince, the eldest son of the Emperor Shendu and Emperor Xuanzong, Wuyunzhuang!
But the news was leaked and reported!
The empress ordered a thorough investigation!
This investigation was a big and earth-shaking case. Even the treasures given to the emperor were greedy. They were so brave that they involved a series of serious corruption cases. Nearly 10,000 people were killed. If they were demoted and exiled, they were involved. Thirty thousand people were implicated. Even the then crown prince Wu Yunzhuang was deposed, demoted him from Zhongzhou and appointed him as a vassal king.
It was also because of this that the Emperor of Goddess felt cold. In order to completely cut off some people's thoughts, she removed the position of Grand Marshal of the Zhongzhou Army.
What does the empress mean when she mentioned these past events again?
All the civil and military officials in the court listened, but they didn't understand very much. There were only a few, and their faces changed and they thought of some possibilities.
"...Today, there is turmoil and uneasy... I am my Donggan military god..."
"Now, I will re-establish the position of Grand Marshal of Zhongzhou Army, and will be appointed as Grand Marshal of Zhongzhou Army. I will take charge of the military power of Zhongzhou, control the troops and horses of the world, and will also be promoted to Grand Duke Zhenguo..."
The reward has finally been issued!
All the civil and military officials in the court changed their faces and colors, which was beyond everyone's expectations, and gave people a feeling of surprise. Li Guangshan was appointed as the Grand Marshal of the Zhongzhou Army and left the civil servant group directly. This is...
Although it is the supreme honor to be promoted to Duke Zhenguo, Duke Zhenguo is a titled Duke, and the word "Shenguo" means extraordinary significance, and this is the leader of Duke!
But Li Guangshan is not a question of title now, and the prince is not polite in front of him.
He was transferred to the position of the Grand Marshal of the Zhongzhou Army... When he retreated more than 20 years ago, he was the Grand Marshal of the Zhongzhou Army! No matter how much this reward feels, it is a bit insufficient, but it makes people unable to say anything.
After all, from a suitable perspective, Li Guangshan is indeed suitable for military positions.
"Thank you, my emperor, long live my emperor..." Li Guangshan received the order to thank him.
He was mentally prepared.
But no one else.
They all looked at Li Guangshan, went to quietly look at the empress, and finally... went to see Zhou An again!
Some old foxes immediately realized that this matter was unrelated to Zhou An because they all knew that the empress had been extremely inclined to appoint Li Guangshan as the chief minister of the cabinet. She was telling several old ministers two days ago that this matter suddenly changed?
The one who can make the empress change her mind was Kang Longji in the past, but now it is Zhou An!
It is difficult for others to convince the empress. Even if it is convinced, it should be news. There is no news before this! A group of old ministers also communicated with each other, but they didn't know.
They could also see that Li Guangshan knew it beforehand.
It can be seen from his expression and attitude.
Accepted, very calm.
So, Li Guangshan not only gave up the position of Minister of War, but also gave up the position of the chief minister of the cabinet. Who would be appointed as the chief minister of the cabinet?
Although a group of old guys were silent at this moment, they were actually nervous!
There are more than one old minister who is qualified to be the chief minister of the cabinet!
Li Guangshan stood up and returned to the team of civil and military officials for the time being. He stood like this today. When tomorrow, he had to change his position! Although he was also the first, he was on the other side. His current position was to be given to the new cabinet chief.
Chapter completed!
