3. The head of the Southern Province

After the arrangement was made, Emperor Li Shi decided not to leave for the time being, "I swear to guard Fengtian City to the death. The tomb of my ancestors is located here and should not be left to the traitors!"

Then, Huo Zhongtang, Tan Zhizhong and other middle-aged officials accompanied him, hummed and placed the bronze "Fengtian Four-Tours and Eight-Tour City Defense Map" in front of the emperor and civil and military generals.

The emperor pointed to the bronze picture and asked Gao Yue in turn, how much food and fodder were in the city?

Gao Yue immediately replied that he had transported 20,000 stones of corn, buckwheat, and 700 stones of salt from the Bailicheng Duzhi patrol, which was enough for His Majesty to drive, and the royal family and the army had supported it for more than three months;

Then the emperor asked again, is the city wall intact?

Gao Yue replied that the walls of Fengtian City are walls, and even if it rains, they will not be damaged. Your Majesty can rest assured;

The emperor asked again, are the stables, water sources, and rocks all reserved?

Gao Yue said that all the supplies are enough to support them.

The emperor finally asked, if there is any damage to the city defense, can it be repaired in time?

Gao Yue replied that the craftsmen sent by His Majesty from the General Prison were now all stayed in the workshops in the city, so I can rest assured (I thought about making arrangements for you).

At this moment, Tang An stared at Gao Yue who was answering the questions with a lot of answers, and Xia Feixue's cheeks. He thought in his heart that this man was too terrible. I thought in my heart that he was a treacherous, but I couldn't help but be attracted by him. What should I do?

After receiving a satisfactory reply, the emperor immediately glanced at every corner of Fengtian City Defense, and soon said, "Why is the position of this bell tower not symmetrical enough?", "Why is the horse-faced battle shed on the west wall one third less than the north wall", "Can an ambush be placed in the steep terrain between Liangshan and Mogu?", there are endless thoughts.

Everyone was so scared that their faces looked like earth, thinking that this had just gained a foothold in Fengtian City, and His Majesty was about to start the proud "micro-operation technique" again.

Duan Xiushi hurriedly held her sleeves and asked Li Shi to say, "Your Majesty, Fengtian City is small and solid, with sufficient food and fodder, and complete equipment and armor. It is the time when the soldiers attack the thieves and set up their lives. Just kill the generals and draw the flag, climb the tower and fire crossbows to them. Your Majesty can live in the bell tower or the drum tower, and always be in the Xuanxuan, so that the soldiers can see the beauty of heaven and boost their morale. This is the best."

Li Shi was still waiting to point to the picture, eager to express his thoughts - Yan Zhenqing and Xiao Xin quickly stopped him and directly asked the emperor to form the "Fengtian Xingye" to coordinate the overall situation and not to bother with these details anymore.

Now Li Shi finally gave up the idea of ​​personally commanding the city defense battle. Everyone, including Gao Yue, breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat in his heart.

So Li Shi directly issued an oral order:

King Shu personally appointed "Fengtian, Fengxiang, Jingyuan, Shannan West Road, Shuofang, Hezhong, and Jingji camps";

Duan Xiushi was appointed as the Grand Marshal, the deputy marshal of the Xingying, and the Fengxiang, and the Jingyuan Jiedushi Punishment;

Hun Yu was the commander-in-chief of the camp, the commander-in-chief of the left wing, and Zhang Guangsheng was the deputy commander-in-chief of the camp, and the commander-in-chief of the right wing;

Yan Zhenqing was the crown prince’s grand tutor, and was appointed as the chief censor and the envoy of Fengtiancheng;

Xiao Xin was appointed as the Minister of Personnel, the Chief of the Battalion, Xiao Fu was appointed as the Minister of War, and the Sima of the Army,

Liu Congyi was the left Sima of the Xingying, Fan Ze was the right Sima of the Xingying, and Linghu Yi was the head secretary;

He appointed Gao Chongwen as the military envoy of the former army, Gao Chongjie as the military envoy of the central army, Linghu Jian as the military envoy of the rear army, and Xu Baohui as the Marquis of the Central Army;

Jiang Gongfu, Lu Zhi, Wu Tongwei and Wu Tongxuan continued to be Hanlin bachelors and participated in confidential military affairs. Among them, Jiang Gongfu was the chief bachelor of the imperial examination and promoted his official title to the counselor. Lu Zhi and others were all promoted as bachelors and staff officers, and their official positions were promoted;

At the same time, the emperor indeed ordered that the Duke of Wei, who was accompanying him, be promoted to the Minister of the Yu Department of the Ministry of Works (taken over the vacant position of Gao Yue), and be admitted to the Hanlin Academy as a bachelor.

Li Jie, a Jinshi of Taofenpeng who came with Gao Yue, was directly appointed as the Censor of Supervision, and Liu Pi, who had not yet obtained the Jinshi, was appointed as the official of Jixian Hall.

Yuanzhouxing, who had been accompanied and assisted Gao Yue, was promoted to the imperial censor of the palace and was sentenced to Yuanzhouxing in various affairs.

As for Gao Yue, since his original official title was given to Duke of the Vatican, of course he was promoted again:

"Former Ministry of Works, Yue Xing, was a member of the Ministry of Works, had high hopes, was conscientious, and rarely slack. When Fengtianying City, the castle was in charge of justice, was obeyed by the orders, and was far-sighted, and the armored soldiers gathered... The head of the military department, Fengtianxing was judged in the camp, Fengxiang, deputy envoy of the Jiedushi of Jingyuan, the governor of Yuanzhou, and the silver fish in the breeze... "

Now Gao Yue is from the Ministry of War Department at the fifth rank, and the rank of the scattered officials has also been promoted to the scattered court in the sixth rank. In addition, the emperor allowed him to no longer have to "fake porn", but could formally take the silverfish in the black clothes without applying.

Gao Yue built a trip to Fengtian City, escorted the imperial concubine, the imperial seal and the princesses, and became a doctor in the southern province, and officially left the "selecting door" - since then he has been admitted to the fifth rank of ministry and no longer has to be under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Personnel. In the future, he can directly let the emperor or the priest push him up and continue to advance.

This speed of promotion can be described as "helicopter".

Because of the change in Gao Yue's official position, it was not just that "Zhenwailang" became "Doctor". At first glance, these two positions in the Tang Dynasty were both relied on. In each department of the six ministries of the Southern Province (Shangshu Province), the top leader was the doctor and the second leader was the Lord. This seemed to be the case.

But there are twenty-six departments in southern Province. The status of these twenty-six departments is different, and their status is not completely divided according to the "department", but has its own set of high and low rules:

First level, Ministry of Personnel (Ministry of Personnel);

The second level is the Ministry of War (Ministry of War), the Ministry of Examination (Ministry of Personnel), the Left Department (Shangshu Zuo Cheng, the three departments of the clerk, the three departments of the clerk, the three departments of the clerk), and the Right Department (Shangshu You Cheng, the three departments of the clerk, the three departments of the clerk);

The third level is the chief division of the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Rites (Ministry of Rites), the Ministry of Celebration (Ministry of Rites), the Ministry of Rites (Ministry of Rites), the Ministry of Rites (Ministry of War), the Ministry of Revenue (Ministry of Revenue), the Ministry of Revenue (Ministry of Revenue), the Ministry of Revenue (Ministry of Revenue), the Ministry of Revenue (Ministry of Revenue), the Ministry of Justice (Ministry of Justice), the Ministry of Works (Ministry of Works);

The fourth level: the Department of the Jia Department (Ministry of War), the Department of the Jin Department (Ministry of Revenue), the Department of the Kurata Department (Ministry of Revenue), the Department of the Bi Department (Ministry of Justice), the Department of the Ministry of Justice (Ministry of Justice), the Department of the Food Department (Ministry of Rites), the Department of the Mainland and Guest Department (Ministry of Rites), the Department of the Temperature Department (Ministry of Works), the Department of the Yu Department (Ministry of Works), and the Department of the Water Department (Ministry of Works).

Therefore, the transfers of the Southern Province Langzhong and Yuanwailang are based on these four levels. The fourth level can only be upgraded to the second and third levels, and then to the first level.

Gao Yue has now risen from the fourth-level Yu Ministry officer Wailang to the second-level War Department Department (the six ministries each have the same name as the Ministry, called the Head Department). It can be said that it is not an exaggeration to be promoted to the fifth and sixth levels in an instant. Originally, being able to join the Secretariat Province as the Minister of State and the Langzhong was already a U.S. position. When Li Linfu sought to be the last Simen Doctor (the fourth-level) of the last Simen, he was ridiculed by Shizhong Yuan Qian Yao as "Is Ge Nu a Langguan?" and rejected it. Because Li Linfu could not follow the Qing official route, he was of course rejected by the various departments of the Southern Province.
