Da Wei Chun

Chapter 381
Self-inflicted?

Does it mean that even if Yuan Yi died, it would be for nothing?

These four words pierced Yuan Ji's chest like four knives.A surge of rage surged into my mind, and my eyes were stabbed red.

"Your Majesty, no matter how unbearable Yuan Yi is, he is also a descendant of the Yuan family..."

Gritting his teeth and complaining, Yuan Ji straightened his waist, as if he wanted to stand up and argue with the emperor.

Yu Zhong's heart sank.

Even with his eyes closed, he could guess what Yuan Ji wanted to say: No matter how miserable Yuan Yi is, he is also a descendant of the Yuan family.No matter how talented Li Chengzhi is, he is also a Han slave...

Is Yuan Ji crazy?

What His Majesty is most afraid of is that someone will deny the merits of the late emperor's Sinicization, which will cause the dispute between the Yuan and Han Dynasties.Besides, denying the first emperor is equivalent to denying His Majesty's orthodox position...

Have you forgotten how Yuan Xi, Yuan Xiang, and Yuan Xie all faced catastrophe?

Dare to say the second half of the sentence, more than one Yuan Yi died today...

In a hurry, Yu Zhong raised his leg and stepped heavily on Yuan Ji's leg, making him kneel down again.

Then Yu Zhong took another step forward, stopped in front of Yuan Ji, and gave a deep bow: "King Jiangyang couldn't bear the pain of losing his son, and he couldn't speak freely for a while, please forgive me..."

The emperor stared at Yuan Ji coldly.

Is it just nonsense?
It should be something that I think about every day and think about at night before I blurt it out...

Yuan Ji, Yuan Ji, no matter when you met me, but when you mentioned the late emperor, how often did you not keep claiming that the sinicization of the late emperor was an unworldly achievement?

It turned out to be duplicity?
In vain, I thought you were greedy but loyal, able to take care of the overall situation, and quite good at military affairs.I also want to worship you as the governor, and assist Gao Zhaonan in the expedition, that is, to assist and balance.

Now it seems that if he really wants to go, he will try his best to restrain Gao Zhao, right?
Fortunately, it is not too late to remedy the situation...

The emperor turned his head to look down the city, his tone was very light: "The pain of losing a son? It won't be too late to say that after finding Yuan Yi's body... Yu Zhong, sent the guards to collect the rout soldiers, chariots, and horses, and counted the dead and injured in detail. Report as soon as possible."

Yu Zhonggong responded, secretly cursing Yuan Ji.

King Jiangyang, oh King Jiangyang, if His Majesty hadn't been extremely disappointed in you, why would you say such heartless words?

Just to appease Hanchen, you will be punished today...

as predicted!

"Zhao Taiwei Yuanjia, Situ Yuanyi, Sikong Gaozhao, leader Yu Zhong, Sizhou Mu Yuanyong, Zuo Shizhong Liu Fang, right servant Zhong Cui Guang, internal servant Zhong Liu Teng, Yushi lieutenant Wang Xian, Ting Wei Qing Youzhao, Xuanbu Shangshu Cui Liang, etc. discussed matters in the palace. The rest of the officials dispersed...returned to the palace..."

The hearts of all the ministers trembled.

If only the three divisions and the leader, Sizhou Mu, Minister of the Ministry of War, etc. are called, the discussion will be about military affairs in nine out of ten cases.If you add the servants, Lieutenant Yushi, Ting Weiqing, etc., it is likely to discuss the fault of a certain military official.

How about adding another Xuanbu Shangshu?
The emperor's mind was about to come out: Ninety-nine out of [-] people would move his position.

It can't be Li Chengzhi...he's still a million miles away.Cui Liang, the minister of selection, can arrange him clearly...

All the ministers bowed their hands to see the emperor off, and from the corner of their eyes they all stared at Yuan Ji, who was pale and dripping with cold sweat...

……

A good man does not live long, but a scourge lasts for a thousand years!
Yuan Yi is not dead?

It was also due to fate: Yuan Yi hurt his leg, so he couldn't ride a horse, and he took a cart from the beginning to the end.Fortunately, his car never turned over.

Unfortunately, Li Chengzhi broke his tibia with an arrow, and even if he recovered, he would have to walk with a limp for the rest of his life.

Not to mention being an official with such appearance, I am afraid that even the prince of Jiangyang will be deprived of it.

Not surprisingly, [-]% of Yuan Yi's life will be useless.It can be regarded as eliminating Li Chengzhi's serious worry.

On the contrary, Russell was [-]% dead: he was crushed in two by an armored car.If it weren't for the full armor, it is estimated that even the whole body would not be left.

It was also heard that the emperor ordered Jiangyang Wang Yuanji to be self-willed and relentless, causing more than a hundred guards to die in vain.He was dismissed from the position of General of the Left Guard and moved to General of Pingdong to assist the servants, the General of Chariots, the governor of Jiangxi's military forces, and Li Chong, the governor of Yangzhou, to prevent the Southern Dynasty.

They seem to be of the same rank, but the former is the commander-in-chief of the Imperial Army, and the latter is the assistant official of Yangzhou Governor Li Chongzhi.

It was like suddenly losing three deadly enemies, and Li Chengzhi was in a bad mood.Knowing that the emperor would definitely call him a reprimand, and there is a high possibility that he will be punished, Li Chengzhi is still very happy.

He also blamed himself: Seeing Yuan Yi's head suddenly, he felt a god-given opportunity, and shot without even thinking about it.But he forgot that in the entire Wei Dynasty, those who could shoot iron feather arrows were less than two slaps.

He can't afford it even if he wants to!
The good thing is that both Zhong Zhong and Yuan Ji have said beforehand: all means can be used, and the fire did not break out at that time, and the victory or defeat was not yet decided, so the emperor would not question him...

With messy thoughts in his mind, Li Chengzhi waited in the corridor, waiting for the emperor to summon him.

The matter of Yuan Ji has been discussed, all the officials have dispersed, and only Cui Liang is left in the hall. At this time, he is reporting Li Chengzhi's family background, family status, achievements and mistakes in detail.

"Li Guiyi, the great-grandfather of Li Chengzhi, joined the military from an official to a general of the second rank. There are two levels, and each level is divided into upper, middle, and lower levels, in order to determine the family background of officials, and to investigate the selection of grades)...

His ancestor, Li Qi, went to the Zhenjun Xingtai as an official, and the step is the upper fourth rank from the right (the upper rank of the fourth rank)..."

His father, Li Shixian, joined the army from the official to the second-rank general, and the rank is from the right to the sixth rank (from the sixth rank to the upper rank)...

It is determined according to the equality of the three generations. In terms of surnames, Li Chengzhi is the Ding surname (at the end of the gentry ranks, the four surnames are Gaoliang, Huayu, Jia, B, C, and Ding from high to low. Below the Ding surname is Han. family)...

In terms of family status, the ancestral Li family is the fifth rank (Gaoliang is the first and second rank. Huayu is the third rank, A is the third rank, B is the fourth rank, and C is the fifth rank. Ding is the fifth rank, and the lower rank is Han family)...

If you talk about the prestige of the township and county, it is the second rank (the first rank is the noble family, the second rank is the ordinary noble family, and the lower rank is the Han family)..."

The emperor suddenly realized: No wonder Gao Zhao has been hesitant to marry Li Chengzhi.It turns out that the two families are three grades apart in terms of family status and surname alone?

If it is only based on family status, the two families are not allowed to intermarry, unless the concubine daughter of the Gao family marries the legitimate son of the Li family.Or Li Chengzhi's official rank will rise above the sixth rank.

And Gao Zhao is so active now, presumably because he saw that Li Chengzhi has great potential, and also guessed that I will use him again?

"According to the new order of Taihe: Officials are promoted according to the fourth rank of the family, so if Li Chengzhi is recommended by the Zhongzheng to become an official, the official should be from the right to the ninth rank (down from the ninth rank, the end of the official rank)... ..."

"Later, due to the civil strife in Jingzhou, Jingzhou Zhongzheng (an official who specially recommends talents) was involved in dismissal and failed to recommend him. Then the governor Xi Kangsheng inspected and judged that Li Chengzhi was the best, and his virtue was the middle and the best (nine rank Zhongzheng) According to the system, it should be promoted to three ranks and nine ranks, so Li Chengzhi, the governor of Xi, moved to Cangcao to participate in the military, and the rank is the eighth rank on the right..."

The emperor was a little speechless: No matter how poor this family status was, Li Chengzhi would not even be an official, he could only be an official.Fortunately, there is Li Chengzhi, otherwise, in the next generation, the ancestral Li family will be reduced to a commoner family, deprived of the title of "ancestral home".

Xi Kangsheng's observation is also considered pertinent: in terms of talent, Li Chengzhi should be called the "top" talent.But with his temperament of vengeance, it is not bad to be rated as a top-notch.

Yuan Ke nodded, signaling Cui Liang to continue.

"Because the exams for hundreds of officials were not given until after autumn, Li Chengzhi was temporarily accepted as the seventh rank of the right after entering Beijing. After many promotions and dismissals, he is now the eighth rank of the right. Ruo Quanxuan If you are an official, you need to re-record your achievements and faults..."

As he spoke, Cui Liang moved away a book, and said loudly:

"In the first month, Liu Huiwang, a Shamen in Jingzhou, gathered a crowd to rebel, and Li Chengzhi raised troops to fight against him. At the beginning of March, Liu Huiwang and Liu Huizhen, the leaders of the thieves, were captured, and they should be promoted to the first rank according to their merits...

More than [-] thieves were killed before and after, and Jingzhou was established, and promoted to another level according to merit...

In the middle of March, the Tuyuhun vassal king was killed in Wuwei, and he was promoted to the first rank based on his merit...

At the end of April, offering [-] stones of millet should be promoted to two ranks, and at the beginning of June, to create a new method of calculation and calculation, should be promoted to one rank, and combined into one rank...

In mid-June, capture and ambush assassins, rescue Her Royal Highness twice, and should be promoted to two ranks...

In mid-June, the treatment of Hu Chonghua's...well, his serious illness should be promoted to the first grade...

In addition, the method of creating long spear formations, hollow formations, and sending messages and warnings, etc., should be promoted to the first level...but there are various faults..."

"All right!"

Yuan Ke waved his hand impatiently.

He knew that Li Chengzhi had made many contributions, but after careful calculation, there were so many?

A full eighth level, if you want to choose an official, you must be promoted to another fourth rank at least.And counting from Xi Kangsheng's starting official of the eighth rank, wouldn't it be necessary for Li Chengzhi to be promoted to the fourth rank?
How many ranks are the governors of a state?
It's incredible to hear it.But if you think about it carefully, I think it should be so.For example, pacifying Jingzhou, beheading Murong, rescuing Queen Jia, Hu Chonghua, etc. are all great achievements. It is possible for each of them to be captured and directly promoted to the first rank, but it is not too much to be promoted to the fourth rank.

Of course, this is just a description, not a choice.Such as Li Chengzhi's exams involve as high as the second and third ranks, but there are many people who are selected for the fourth and fifth ranks, and there are still six or seven ranks.Otherwise, how come Cui Liang's later creation of "determination of character (promotion should be based on seniority and years, and then on merit)", and the unique system of "county promoted to county" and "county promoted to state" in Wei Dynasty, and the system of discounting goods to punish crimes?

It is because the official position is not enough...

What's more, Li Chengzhi makes mistakes at every turn, and he will be downgraded to a level every so often. After adding, subtracting, and subtracting, it is estimated that half of the remaining is not bad.

Yuan Ke pondered for a while, and said again: "I know... Liu Teng, call Li Chengzhi into the palace..."

Cui Liang winked, and bowed in a solemn voice: "Then the minister will retire first?"

"Well, let's go!"

Yuan Ke waved his hand absently.

Not long after, Li Chengzhi entered the main hall. Before he stepped over the threshold, his two eyes glanced inward a few times, as if he was secretly watching whether the emperor's face was cloudy or sunny.

Seeing him like a thief, Yuan Ke was angry and laughed.

Li Chengzhi, Li Chengzhi, what kind of official should I choose for you?
