Yang Ci is really generous.
As soon as he opened his mouth, he said that he was General Fenwu and Marquis of Ting.
Marquis of Ting is not bad!
After all, since the Han Dynasty, only those who have military merits can be granted the title of marquis. Considering Wang Hao's merits in this battle, it is reasonable to give him the title of Marquis of Ting. But everyone knows that Wang Hao has no foundation, even if he is given the title of Marquis of Ting, it is just an honor at best.
He will never restrict himself to death because of a Marquis of Ting, hide there obediently, enjoy his fiefdom, and give up the opportunity to develop in the court!
But General Fenwu is different!
Although it is a general of miscellaneous title, it is only set up when a war is about to break out. He also has no right to open a government office!
But it just so happens......, according to the military system of the Han Dynasty.
In wartime, generals of miscellaneous titles are above the generals of the middle rank and the lieutenants; in peacetime, generals of miscellaneous titles are equivalent to the nine ministers, or slightly lower than the nine ministers.
You must know that the salary of the nine ministers is two thousand stones!
Moreover, the nine ministers in the court are two thousand stones, with an annual salary of 2160 stones; even if it is slightly lower, it is also two thousand stones, with an annual salary of 1800 stones; the next one is also two thousand stones, with an annual salary of 1440 stones; the lowest is also two thousand stones, with an annual salary of 1200 stones; and most of the officials in the court are only one thousand stones, several hundred stones, and officials with two thousand stones are very rare.
It is really unacceptable for Wang Hao, a person with no background, to receive the treatment of two thousand stones all of a sudden.
Although!
It only has the treatment of two thousand stones, without the rights of two thousand stones.
But it is true that it will make people envious and jealous.
In an instant.
The court officials in the palace talked about it:
"What happened to the Grand Tutor? He actually proposed to promote him to General Fenwu!"
"Yes! Wang Hao was just a local militiaman. Even if he had made some military achievements, he wouldn't be given such a high salary, right?"
"If you ask me, it would be good enough to be given the rank of captain, but he was directly given the rank of general?"
"Isn't this a bit too much?"
"That's right! A common man who was born as a village militiaman is paid more than me!"
"Who the hell can you talk to?"
"......"Although
Lu Zhi expected that they would look for Yang Ci, he never expected that Yang Ci would directly give him the title of General Fenwu!
He really didn't know what this old guy was thinking.
Was he sincere?
Or was he pretending?
For a moment,
Lu Zhi couldn't figure it out.......
，.
Liu Hong was stunned, looking up at Yang Ci and crying,"I dare to ask the Grand Tutor if such an official position is too high.
After all, Wang Hao's family background is relatively low, which is not in line with the etiquette system.
""-.
""Your Majesty, please help me.
" Who would have thought that Yang Ci would bow his head without hesitation and said,"Since the court wants to reward meritorious officials, it must be promoted.
It cannot be transferred horizontally, otherwise how can it show your majesty's love for him?"
Liu Hong nodded slowly and agreed deeply.
Yang Ci continued,"Then Wang Hao is already a county magistrate with a salary of Qianshi. Since Your Majesty wants to promote him, he must be promoted to a higher position."
Liu Hong hummed and said,"That's right! That's right, but isn't the rank of General Fenwu a little too high? In this way, wouldn't Wang Hao be second only to Huangfu Song in the army? He might even be higher than the major colonels!"
"That's right!"
Yang Ci added:"Your Majesty, you should know that Wang Hao alone leads the Yong County garrison, which is not the same system as the five battalions of the Northern Army and the elite troops of Sanhe. According to common sense, the most suitable person for him should be Sima of the other department."
"But Your Majesty, don't forget that the Sima of the other departments is only a military post of 1,000 dan, and Wang Hao is originally a county magistrate of 1,000 dan. It is better not to reward him with such a reward!"
In fact!
It's not that Yang Ci gave too high.
It's that Wang Hao's starting point is too high.
Others start from the position of county magistrate, at best, 600 dan, and the smaller ones have 400 dan!
But Wang Hao is different.
He was pushed too high by Lu Zhi and Liu Zhong. He was directly a county magistrate of 1,000 dan. If he wants a reward, it must be an official post of 2,000 dan.
Even at the worst, it is a rank of 2,000 dan!
But the salary of 2,000 dan is already an annual salary for senior officials among the Nine Ministers.
Considering Wang Hao's current embarrassment Awkward position.
In the army, he can only be independent of the five battalions of the Northern Army and the elite troops of Sanhe.
Is it okay if he is not given a miscellaneous title of general?
Hiss帆
Liu Hong couldn't help but take a breath.
He really didn't consider this practical problem.
Rewards are rewards, but if they anger the officials in the court and cause public outrage, that would be terrible.
Liu Hong would not let himself get into an embarrassing situation because of this.
For a moment.
Liu Hong was also a little hesitant.
But soon, Lu Zhi stepped sideways and said,"Your Majesty, Wang Hao's position is indeed awkward! But the court rewards and punishments are based on their merits, and some systems are for reference only!"
"Now, Wang Hao has come up with numerous ingenious strategies and made repeated military achievements in order to protect Chang'an. If such a great achievement is shelved and not rewarded because of the system in the court, wouldn't it be disheartening to the soldiers on the front line?"
"Furthermore!"
Lu Zhi added:"If Your Majesty makes an exception to promote them, it will be an encouragement and spur to the soldiers on the front line. Next, General Huangfu will have to attack Liangzhou and wipe out the rebels. Your Majesty is rewarding them at this time, how can they not go all out?"
"That makes sense!"
Liu Hong nodded with interest.
In fact!
He didn't care about a General Fenwu.
Moreover, this General Fenwu could play a very huge role.
The key lies in the officials in the court and their opinions on Wang Hao.
If high-ranking officials like Yang Ci and Lu Zhi had no objections, perhaps the officials would naturally calm down!
Liu Hong looked at Si Tu Yuan Kui:"Yuan Qing, what do you think?"
Yuan Kui bowed and clasped his hands:"Your Majesty, this old minister agrees with the opinions of Taifu and Shangshu Lu. Meritorious officials should naturally be rewarded!" Liu Hong nodded!
The officials have always been headed by the Yang family and the Yuan family.
As long as these two families can agree, even if the other officials have more voices, they can't make any big waves.
If Yuan Feng were alive, he might still argue with reason.
But Yuan Kui is famous for being a figurehead, so his agreement is expected.
(PS: As mentioned in the previous article, after Yuan Feng died, the power in the court, the Yang family temporarily suppressed the Yuan family）
""Okay!"
Liu Hong raised the corners of his lips and smiled calmly:"Lu Shangshu, then let the Shangshutai draft an edict and send it to the front line as soon as possible, promote Wang Hao to the rank of General Fenwu, and grant him the title of Marquis of Lishui Pavilion, with a fief of 300 households!"
Lu Zhi bowed and saluted:"Your Majesty is wise!"
Liu Hong smiled calmly:"Remember to tell Wang Hao that I didn't misjudge him at the beginning!"
Lu Zhi:"Yes!"
Hehe!
It's just a means of winning people over.
However, Lu Zhi was happy, after all, it was the emperor's oral order!
In the eyes of the nine ministers and three officials, it may really be just a sentence, but in the eyes of the generals on the front line, the weight is really different.
Liu Hong sat down again. He was in a good spirit and actively discussed government affairs with all officials.
After discussing for an hour, he temporarily finished the government affairs and announced the adjournment of the court!
