Turbulent Times Chapter 739: Bonus
"My lord, my lord! Someone is coming from the palace, it's an angel proclaiming the decree..." Butler Zhang ran all the way in and shouted from afar.
"Decree? Is the reward finally coming?" Wang Junlin said with a complicated expression.
Butler Zhang said with joy on his face: "It's time for the father-in-law to accept the order."
Wang Junlin rubbed his face and said: "Ask the guards and servants to line up, open the middle door, set up the incense table, and accept the order."
"Okay." Butler Zhang happily agreed, and hurried away.
Soon, an incense table was set up in the vestibule of Duke Qin'an's mansion, and Wang Junlin stood in front of the incense table in formal court attire.
The **** who announced the decree walked into the middle gate with a roll of yellow silk in his hands, unfolded the yellow silk and said: "...if you are in the middle of the sky, you will look down at the palace of Zhou. It is like climbing the censor of Taiyue, watching Lu Fengyu In the palm... Therefore, the king of Qin'an County, who is king, has good virtue and merit, and has a country's regular code. He can be promoted to the Duke of Qin'an County, continue to command internal and external officials, and give five hundred taels of gold and five hundred pieces of silk. !”
After reciting the imperial decree, Wang Junlin blinked his eyes a few times, thinking who wrote the imperial decree, the meaning is really hard to understand, but he probably understands the meaning.
The general idea of the imperial decree is to praise Wang Junlin's achievements during his trip to Bingzhou. Of course, given Yang Guang's hobby, the main article is to praise Yang Guang himself. After all, Wang Junlin was able to do so under the glorious leadership of the emperor. For those who accomplished those things, the imperial decree finally promoted Wang Junlin to a noble rank, and rewarded some gold and silk by the way.
Wang Junlin received the imperial decree respectfully with both hands. Steward Zhang had already prepared a piece of silver and handed it to the **** Xuanzhi calmly. After Wang Junlin thanked the **** Xuanzhi, the latter said a word of congratulations to Wang Junlin and returned to the palace Returning to his life, Wang Junlin stood at the threshold thoughtfully.
At a young age, he is already the Duke of the county, and he is only one step away from the Duke of the State, but his official position has not changed, and he is still the commander of the internal and external marquis officials. If he hadn't known for a long time that Yang Guang had made Yang Zhao the prince first in history, he really didn't know which son Yang Guang wanted to make the prince.
Wang Junlin stood at the door, his eyes unconsciously looking ahead, but his mind was spinning fast.
Since the founding of the Sui Dynasty, the promotion to the rank has never been as fast as Wang Junlin's. I don't know how many people are envious. Even though his current official position is only the fourth grade, and he has not yet become an important minister of the three provinces and six ministries, everyone knows that he is a celebrity in front of the eyes of today. They were all crushed.
A rope was drawn between two big trees in front of Duke Qin'an's mansion, so that people would tie their horses to the rope when they came to visit. It was full of horses, and the parked carriages lined up hundreds of meters away from the gate of the mansion...
Wang Junlin can be said to be very troublesome about these entertainments, but there is nothing he can do about them. Even if you don’t like some entertainments, you have to do them, otherwise you will offend someone if you are not careful, and you don’t know when it will hurt you. Adding trouble for no reason.
Actually, Wang Junlin is also wondering, he doesn't know what Guang is thinking, but what is certain is that his reward is directly related to who the next crown prince will be, but Wang Junlin may be the only one who knows in advance besides Yang Guang. The person who answered was that Yang Zhaohui, who was close to him, was the prince, but Yang Guang still did not give him a prominent official position. In the eyes of the world, the commander of the inner and outer marquis may be the emperor's close minister, but only Wang Junlin knew what the former inner and outer marquis was. The authority has been replaced by another force in Yang Guang's hands. You must know that judging from the abilities Wang Junlin has shown in the past three years, coupled with the illustrious military exploits he has made, the emperor should reuse him no matter what.
"Could it be that Yang Guang is jealous of his son? Isn't this suspicion too much?" With a deeper understanding of Yang Guang, Wang Junlin suddenly discovered that Yang Guang had shown signs of prosperity in history. There is indeed a reason why the empire ended in just a decade or so. To put it simply, Yang Guang is sick, or he is paranoid and arrogant. These extreme personalities are enough for ordinary people, let alone an emperor, it is a disaster for the whole world.
"It seems that I will continue to play the role of a firefighter. Presumably Yang Guang will let me go wherever there is trouble. Or he is determined to let me deal with the powerful family." Wang Junlin faintly thought Enlightenment.
Wang Junlin was just guessing, no one knew what Yang Guang was really thinking.
Together with Wang Junlin were the 'dead' Yang Su, Yu Wenhuaji who was on his way to Kyoto, Luo Yi who was in Bingzhou, and of course other generals who made great contributions to suppressing the rebellion in Bingzhou.
Yang Su didn't say anything, but Yang Guang gave Yang Su a lot of honors to the "dead". But it is worth pondering that Yang Su's Duke of Chu's title was theoretically inherited by his eldest son Yang Xuangan, but Yang Guang did not make a decree for a long time, and even no one in the Yang family from Yang Xuangan was rewarded, let alone promoted. This is a typical example of treating the dead favorably and treating the living lightly.
Yu Wenhuaji was conferred the title of Marquis of Zhongyi by Yang Guang, and granted him the title of **** Shaoqing. On the same day, Yang Guang decreed that his eldest daughter, Princess Nanyang, be betrothed to Yu Wenshu's third son, Yuwen Shiji. , Yu Wenshu's family can be said to rise with the tide, and they won the trust of Yang Guang, and they were extremely respected for a while.
Luo Yi successfully became the No. 2 figure in the Bingzhou Army, Marching Chief Shi, and officially became a senior general of the Sui Dynasty.
In addition, Yang Guang reformed the court system with a thunderbolt, and established a cabinet system. Zhang Jin, Pei Shiju, Minister of Huangmen, Yu Shiji, Minister of Internal History, and Su Wei, Taichang Qing, these seven are important cabinet ministers. People jointly decide state affairs, which is equivalent to seven people sharing the power of prime minister. Originally Changsun Sheng and Han Qinhu could also be among the seven, but Changsun Sheng has not been in good health since being injured by the Spring and Autumn Messenger a few months ago, and Han Qinhu has his own considerations and directly expresses his unwillingness Participate in cabinet.
About Yang Guang's establishment of a cabinet, it was originally done four years after Daye, that is, three years later. Apparently because of Wang Junlin's reason, Yang Su, a power minister, disappeared in advance, so Yang Guang completed this matter in advance. It can be seen that Yang Guang had already figured out the cabinet system when he was the prince. , is a person with great talent. Of course, Yang Guang’s cabinet system is quite different from the cabinet constitutional monarchy and cabinet republic of later generations. It is mainly reflected in the fact that the emperor has absolute veto power over the cabinet, or Yang Guang’s cabinet system is purely to serve him. .
