Inner court guards are personally selected and appointed by the emperor. If foreign guards want to be selected as inner court guards, they generally have to go through strict inspections and gain the emperor's trust.
The inner court guards are divided into imperial guards, Qianqingmen guards, imperial guards and Qianqingmen guards.
Jia Yun became the first-class guard of the foreign court just a month ago by virtue of his high school martial arts champion. Only a month later, he didn't even go through a strict inspection. He just captured Eunuch Pang and was suddenly selected as a first-class imperial guard by Emperor Tianzhi. Waiting for the guards is really a big reward!
The first-class imperial guards are the highest-status guards in the palace, and their income is much higher than that of the first-class guards at other dynasties.
More importantly, the first-class imperial guards are the personal bodyguards of the emperor. They have little power but a high position and a bright future. Since the founding of the Qing Dynasty, a large proportion of the first-class imperial guards have been promoted to first- and second-grade senior officials.
In Jia Yun's opinion, Emperor Tianzhi did this maybe because Emperor Tianzhi thought highly of him, or maybe because the Supreme Emperor intervened again this time, and it was the Supreme Emperor who arranged for Emperor Tianzhi to award him such a reward.
However, Jia Yun feels that the possibility of the Emperor's arrangement this time is very small.
Last time the Supreme Emperor arranged for Emperor Tianzhi to make him a third-class general, it had already consumed the favor between the Supreme Emperor and Rong Guofu. The Supreme Emperor should not waste this kind of favor on him again.
So Jia Yun felt that it was probably because Emperor Tianzhi thought highly of him.
The reward for Jia Yun is not over yet!
Emperor Tianzhi looked at Jia Yun and continued: "In addition, this time the Supreme Emperor will reward you with a hundred taels of gold."
Emperor Tianzhi looked at Cao Wu, Tang Daqian, Meng Jing, Mu Fu, Zhao Xiuyuan and Yu Keping again. This time the Supreme Emperor also rewarded six of them.
Among them, the three second-class guards, Meng Jing, Mu Fu, and Zhao Xiuyuan, were each rewarded with forty taels of gold, and the three third-class guards, Cao Wu, Tang Daqian, and Yu Keping, were each rewarded with twenty taels of gold.
Jia Yun and the others hurriedly thanked him.
After learning that the Supreme Emperor rewarded her with one hundred taels of gold, Jia Yun felt that it was not the Supreme Emperor who arranged for him to be the first-class imperial guard this time, otherwise the Supreme Emperor would not reward him with so much gold again.
Emperor Tianzhi felt a little distressed at the moment. In his opinion, the reward given by the Supreme Emperor to Jia Yun and the others was too much this time.
The total reward for the seven people was 280 taels of gold, which is also 2800 taels of silver.
You must know that even Cao Wei, a minister of the bodyguard department from the first rank, his annual income of Lianlianyin, salary and other income combined is less than 2,000 taels of silver.
Emperor Tianzhi was indeed a frugal emperor, not only because he was used to being frugal, but also because now the treasury was short of money, and even his Ministry of Internal Affairs was poor.
But there was no other way. If the Supreme Emperor wanted to reward him like this, Emperor Tianzhi would not be able to dissuade him.
Emperor Tianzhi immediately announced the punishment of eleven palace guards including Wu Pan.
Among them, Wu Pan's merit was reduced once, and the other ten palace guards who followed Wu Pan were not punished.
Emperor Tianzhi did not want to punish severely this time. In his opinion, the ten palace guards who followed Wu Pan did not make a mistake. They were all following Wu Pan's orders. However, although Wu Pan was stupid and selfish this time, Tianzhi
The emperor does not want to punish severely.
In fact, it is already a big punishment for Wu Pan to lose one credit.
It is indeed not easy for the palace guards to record merits. Merits will only be recorded once if they have made a big contribution.
You can be promoted to an official by two ranks after recording meritorious service three times. How can it be easy to record meritorious service?
This time Wu Pan lost one merit count, which was equivalent to being demoted by more than half a rank.
Wu Pan felt depressed, but he also breathed a sigh of relief. He expected the punishment to be more severe than this.
After the rewards and punishments were announced, Emperor Tianzhi waved his hand and told Jia Yun and other eighteen palace guards to leave. The fourth prince Xia Yi and the imperial minister He Cheng also left.
Emperor Tianzhi stepped down from the throne, walked into the Nuan Pavilion, and sat at a large and luxurious desk.
He picked up two piles of information from the desk and looked at them.
One pile of information is about the Jing camp, and the other pile of information is about the Chang'an camp.
On the surface, it looks like a promotion, but in Emperor Tianzhi's heart, this is an overt promotion and a hidden fall!
Jingying evolved from an army commanded by Ningguo Gong Jia Yan before the founding of the People's Republic of China. Initially, Jia Yan served as the military governor of Jingying, and was later succeeded by Jia Daihua, and later by Wang Ziteng.
Now that Wang Ziteng had been the governor of the Beijing camp for many years, Emperor Tianzhi was worried that Wang Ziteng would be like Jia Yan back then and control the Beijing camp like his own army, and Wang Ziteng was a close aide of the Supreme Emperor.
This time, in the name of promoting Wang Ziteng to be the governor of nine provinces, Emperor Tianzhi transferred Wang Ziteng out of the capital camp and went out of the capital to investigate the border areas.
However, Emperor Tianzhi failed to arrange for one of his cronies to take over as the Jingying Jiedushi, and the new Jingying Jiedushi was still a close aide of the Supreme Emperor.
This made Emperor Tianzhi realize that if the Supreme Emperor was not dead, he would not be able to control the capital!
So Emperor Tianzhi decided to go to Chang'an camp again.
Chang'an Camp is not very far from Shenjing City. Moreover, Chang'an Camp has been fighting as a support force, and its combat effectiveness is stronger than that of Jingying Camp.
The Yun family in charge of Chang'an Camp was also a close confidant of the Supreme Emperor, and the Yun family had close contacts with the Mu family of Dongping Prince's Palace among the "Four Kings".
And Emperor Tianzhi had already planned in his heart to punish the "four kings" in the future, that is, the prince of Beijing, the prince of Nan'an, the prince of Dongping, and the prince of Xining!
Therefore, Emperor Tianzhi must take action against the Yun family, and the sooner he takes action, the better!
The problem is that while the Supreme Emperor is still alive, Emperor Tianzhi cannot deal with the Yun family openly, so he needs to use special means!
So Emperor Tianzhi wanted to use a special chess piece, and this chess piece was Jia Yun!
The main reason why Emperor Tianzhi promoted Jia Yun to the rank of first-class imperial guard this time was that he wanted to use Jia Yun as a chess piece to go to Chang'an camp to deal with the Yun family!
In the view of Emperor Tianzhi, although Jia Yun was of Rongguo Mansion's bloodline, he was only a side branch child, and he was a side branch child who had been despised by Rongguo Mansion in the past, and he was still a young man.
Emperor Tianzhi plans to win over Jia Yun and train Jia Yun as his confidant. After Jia Yun has served as a first-class imperial guard by his side for one or two years and becomes his confidant, his next step will be to promote Jia Yun to the rank of
Chang'an camp to become a second-grade general!
Chang'an Camp evolved from an army that was in charge of the Rongguo Gong Jia Yuan before the founding of the People's Republic of China. Initially, Jia Yuan served as the military governor of Chang'an, and was later inherited by Jia Daishan, and later by the Yun family.
Chang'an camp used to be like the pro-army of Rongguo Mansion.
Even now, there is still a lot of lingering shadow of Rongguo Mansion in Chang'an Camp.
In the view of Emperor Tianzhi, Jia Yun was not only the best in the world in terms of military force, but also had strong strategies. He was both civil and military, and he also had the blood of the Rongguo Mansion. When Jia Yun went to Chang'an Camp to serve as a second-grade general, it would not be difficult to use Rong Guo.
The remaining shadow of the government can also deal with the Yun family!
Even if Jia Yun cannot control Chang'an Camp, he can still cause a lot of trouble to the Yun family!
Emperor Tianzhi also believed that based on the relationship between the Supreme Emperor and the Rongguo Mansion, when he promoted Jia Yun to Chang'an Camp as a second-rank military general, the Supreme Emperor would not object.
This is a chess game for Emperor Tianzhi!
In the eyes of Emperor Tianzhi, Jia Yun was already a chess piece that could be put to good use!
