After Wei Chen, Zhao Ceying, Gu Tingye, Ying Gong, Shen Congxing, Song Dynasty, Geng Han, Duan Chengran, Yuan Wenshao and other heroes who helped quell the rebellion were all rewarded.
Among them, Zhao Ceying, as the eldest son of the crown prince, was granted the title of King of Gaoyang County and was appointed as the military governor of the Zhongwu Army.
The British Duke was promoted from the second rank of Prince Shaobao to the first rank of Prince Taibao, ranking in the third division of the Crown Prince.
The commander of the Divine Guard Army entrusted the Song Dynasty with the promotion of General Zhongwu to the fourth rank.
Shen Congxing was granted the rank of General Dingyuan, Geng Han was granted the rank of Ranger General, and Duan Chengran was granted the rank of Guidelang, the rank of General.
Before Shen Congxing entered the palace, he was appointed as the Marquis of the Capital, while Geng Han and Duan Chengran were appointed as the deputy commanders of the Xiaomeng Army and Xiaoxiong Army respectively.
Yuan Wenshao was awarded the sixth rank of Zhaowu Colonel, promoted to deputy commander of the Five Cities Military and Horse Division, and took charge of all affairs of the Five Cities Military and Horse Division in the South Gate.
As for Gu Tingye, he was promoted from the original Jinshi of the Ministry of War to the fifth rank of Yuanwailang of the Ministry of War.
This level of promotion is obviously a bit shabby compared to Gu Tingye's contribution to killing the leader of the thieves, King Yan, with one arrow.
But there is no way. Gu Tingye is now taking the civilian route like Wei Chen. Naturally, it is impossible for him to rise to the top like a military attaché.
If Gu Tingye was not a Jinshi, Zhao Zhen originally intended to let Gu Tingye serve as the deputy commander of the Palace Front Division and in charge of the palace guards. This is a fourth-grade military attache position.
But then again, although civilian officials are promoted slower than military attachés, their status is unmatched by military attachés.
For example, the commander of the Divine Guard Army, Song Dynasty, is now a fourth-rank Zhongwu general. When he sees Gu Tingye, who is from the fifth rank, he still bows respectfully.
That's the difference.
As a military attache, even a military veteran like the British Duke cannot act arbitrarily when he is on an expedition, but needs to obey the orders of civilian officials.
In the final analysis, no matter how high a military attaché is, he is only a "general", and a true "handsome" is generally a civilian official.
Gu Tingye's goal in the future is to be a commander-in-chief who guards one side, rather than a general under the control of others, so he chose to take the imperial examination, become a Jinshi, and join the Ministry of War.
At this point, Gu Tingye rarely received the support of his father Gu Yankai. After Gu Tingye became a Jinshi, it was Gu Yankai who worked secretly to send Gu Tingye to the Ministry of War.
As a civil servant, Gu Tingye just started his official career last year, and this year he was promoted to the fifth rank. This is already a rocket-like promotion speed.
Anyway, Gu Tingye himself is already satisfied with this. Chen Shao, the top scholar in the ninth grade of Tianyou, is still just compiling from the sixth grade Hanlin, let alone others in the same year.
After today, he, Gu Tingye, will be the first person among Tianyou’s ninth-year academic qualifications.
Gu Tingye came out of work to express his gratitude, took the unicorn uniform given by the emperor, and looked at the auspicious animal pattern embroidered on it, and he was a little lost for a moment.
This unicorn uniform was originally the official uniform of the prince's consort. Later, it was used as a gift uniform and was given to ministers of the fourth and fifth grades. His father, Gu Yankai, has one. It is like a treasure on weekdays.
Gu Tingye was naughty when he was a child. He somehow dug out the unicorn suit from under the box and put it on himself to play with. Gu Yankai saw this and Gu Yankai was furious. He hung Gu Tingye up and gave him a good beating.
Gu Tingye still remembers that sour feeling.
Gu Tingye held the unicorn suit in his hand and was still in a state of excitement when he returned to the court train.
Today is different from the past. Now he, Gu Tingye, is also a man wearing a unicorn suit!
It's a pity that his father, Gu Yankai, was feeling unwell today and did not come to participate in the pilgrimage. He could not see the moment when he would shine on the lintel of the Gu family.
But it doesn’t matter, since I will return to Ningyuan Houfu soon.
When he thought of the surprised and envious expressions his father Gu Yankai and his elders and brothers would show when he returned to the Marquis Mansion wearing this imperial-given unicorn uniform, Gu Tingye couldn't help but laugh heartily in his heart.
It was not until after the morning court that all the officials retired, and Gu Tingye was still a little drunk when he followed the people in front of him and walked out of the palace gate.
At this time, a voice suddenly sounded from behind: "The emperor gave me the unicorn suit. What a great grace it is. Gu Yuanwailang is really carrying the sacred scroll, and he will definitely come to the pavilion to pay homage to me in the future!"
Gu Tingye was given a unicorn suit, and when he was in high spirits, he was slapped with flattery. He felt as if he had eaten a ginseng fruit, and not a single pore was feeling smooth.
Gu Tingye burst out laughing immediately, thinking that there was such a wonderful person among the courtiers, and I must make good friends with him.
"Haha, thank you very much for your kind words, brother. Gu also wishes that brother will receive the emperor's favor as soon as possible and receive blessings and honors!"
With that said, Gu Tingye turned his head and wanted to talk to the person behind him, but Gu Tingye didn't expect that when he looked back, he saw an extremely familiar face.
Gu Tingye was suddenly embarrassed. He no longer had the lively look he had before, and his face gradually swelled into the color of pig liver.
For a moment, the air seemed to be stagnant, and there was an awkward atmosphere everywhere.
After a while, Gu Tingye coughed dryly, stared at the man, and complained bleakly: "Xingyun! Why do you bother to entertain me like this? You have made great achievements this time, and the emperor gave you a bullfighting uniform.
My Kirin suit is so powerful!"
The person standing behind Gu Tingye was none other than Wei Chen, who had just come out of the Zichen Palace. Just now, Wei Chen saw Gu Tingye not far in front holding the unicorn suit and looking dizzy with joy, so he made a teasing comment.<
/p>
At this time, being stared at by Gu Tingye's resentful eyes, Wei Chen quickly laughed and changed the subject: "If I remember correctly, this is your first time to go to court, Zhong Huai. After this morning, there was a banquet and food.
It’s all hosted by Guanglu Temple. I’ll take you to try it out later.”
However, Gu Tingye was unmoved. He rolled his eyes at Wei Chen and said angrily: "Don't fool me. I entered the palace when I was eight years old. Do you think I don't know the ways of the palace? p>
The skilled cooks in the palace are all in the imperial dining room. As for the pickled goods in Guanglu Temple, they can only cook diced pork in white water and they are still edible. What is there to taste?"
When Gu Tingye revealed the truth, Wei Chen was not embarrassed. He just smiled and said, "Just be satisfied with this meal. What's wrong with boiled diced pork in white water? In the previous dynasty, I wanted to boil diced pork in white water and didn't have it yet. Baiguan
After going to court, I have to go back to the Yamen hungry!"
When Gu Tingye went out in the morning, he just ate a few mouthfuls of food. After Wei Chen said this, he felt a little hungry. He finally stopped talking and followed Wei Chen to the corridor where the banquet was given.<
/p>
When the two of them arrived at the corridor, they happened to meet Sheng Changbai and Qi Heng. They sat at a table together. They were all close friends. They talked and laughed during the dinner, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
Not long after the few people chatted, a servant from Guanglu Temple came up with food.
On the table were Baozhuang tea snacks, two plates of Yunzi Sesame Leaves, four nectar cakes, eight large silver ingots, two plates of small silver ingots, rice with lotus root slices, lotus seeds, sea cucumber and snowflake soup, etc.
Wei Chen took a quick look and saw that the food was quite good, with steam coming out of it. It was not as bland and tasteless as the diced pork boiled in plain water in the past.
Seeing that the food on the banquet tables on the left and right were the same, Wei Chen and the others looked at each other, secretly wondering.
Sheng Changbai stopped the Guanglu Temple officer who brought the meal and asked about the reason for the change in the meal.
The servant replied: "These are all orders from His Highness the Crown Prince. His Highness said that the adults worked hard from dawn to dusk and deserved better food, so he allocated money and asked the temple to hire another Yamen cook, and also sent palace officials to supervise the procurement.
”
"It turned out to be His Royal Highness's idea."
Everyone suddenly realized.
Gu Tingye picked up the spoon, scooped up a mouthful of sea cucumber snowflake soup and put it into his mouth. He felt that it was steaming, salty and delicious, which just dispelled the chill and fatigue. He couldn't help but praise it.
Sheng Changbai and Qi Heng twitched their index fingers as they smelled the alluring fragrance, and were full of praise for His Highness the Crown Prince's benevolent government.
Only Wei Chen never touched Kuai Zi, just silently looking at the sumptuous meal on the table, thoughtfully.
