Chapter 183

Now... he should just wash up and go to sleep!

Thinking of this.

Jia Xu made up his mind.

Although this wretch Gu Yi often used him, Jia Wenhe, as a tool.

But he, Jia Wenhe, must maintain his friendship with Gu Yi well.

At the Great Morning Assembly the next day.

Old Dong, in front of Emperor Liu Xie and a group of Han court officials, commended the meritorious officials who had pacified Liangzhou this time.

First, the greatest credit must certainly go to Gu Yi.

But Gu Yi no longer cared about these official positions in the court.

With his status in the Dong Zhuo Army, why would he care about these empty titles?

However.

Old Dong was protective of his own and felt he couldn't treat his grandson-in-law poorly.

Thus, he directly promoted Gu Yi to the position of Minister of Justice, ranking among the Nine Ministers.

A Minister of Justice under twenty years old.

Looking across the entire Western and Eastern Han periods.

There was only Gu Yi.

No one dared to stand up and raise objections.

After all.

Who in Chang'an didn't know that Gu Yi was both Old Dong's grandson-in-law and the strategist of the Dong Zhuo Army?

If the Han court officials dared to stand up and raise objections, they would likely be seeking their own deaths.

As for the high-level officials of the Dong Zhuo Army, it was even more impossible for them to object.

In fact, they even felt that this position was given too low.

With Gu Yi's contributions, he should rank among the Three Excellencies. (Dog-head funny)

After appointing Gu Yi.

Dong Zhuo also appointed Ma Teng as the Palace Secretary.

In the Western and Eastern Han periods, the Palace Secretary sat under the Imperial Censor.

At this moment, the Imperial Censor was still alive.

Besides the name sounding good, the Palace Secretary was actually useless and purely an empty title.

However, the rank was not low.

When holding meetings in the court, the position he stood in would also be relatively forward.

For someone like Ma Teng who had been recruited, being able to obtain such a position was truly considered quite good.

Immediately after, it came to the generals of the Dong Zhuo Army.

Li Jue and Guo Si, although they had been defeated before.

But in view of the fact that they followed Gu Yi to win a battle afterward, their performance was considered good.

The two were promoted to General of the Army-Breaking and General of the Army-Suppressing.

Although they were not major generals, they were better than the original miscellaneous generals.

Zhang Ji and Hua Xiong followed Gu Yi to pacify Liangzhou and had merit.

Zhang Ji was promoted to General of the Army-Pacifying, with the same rank as Li Jue and Guo Si.

Because Hua Xiong was already the General of the Eastern Pacification, he did not receive further promotion this time, but was compensated with fiefdoms.

Zhang Xiu had the merit of "beheading" Han Sui; he was promoted two levels from his original position as a thousand-man commander and was directly promoted to General of Pacifying the Di!

Of course, don't look at the fact that this name sounds quite good; in reality, it belongs to a type of miscellaneous general.

But for Zhang Xiu, it was already a tremendous improvement.

One must know, his uncle Zhang Ji's position was now only one level higher than his!

Zhao Zilong and Zhang He followed Xu Rong to guard Fufeng and had merit; each was promoted one level.

They respectively became General of Tiger Might and General of Sweeping the Bandits.

These two were also a type of miscellaneous general.

However, it is worth mentioning that.

The position of General of Tiger Might did not exist originally; it was specially set up by Old Dong for Zhao Zilong under Gu Yi's suggestion.

Huang Zhong, Han Hao, and Gao Shun also received promotions and officially became captains.

The rest, such as Pang De, Yan Xing, Cheng Gongying, and others, also received the official establishment of the Dong Zhuo Army.

Yan Xing and Cheng Gongying were respectively appointed to miscellaneous general positions for their merit in persuading the remnants of Han Sui to surrender.

Pang De was included under Gu Yi's command as a thousand-man commander.

Although his official position was the lowest for the time being, with his ability, presumably he would soon be able to make contributions and get promoted.

And after appointing these meritorious officials.

A piece of heavy news also smashed toward the "Xiliang lineage"!

PS: The official positions in the late Han era were vastly different from those in the Three Kingdoms period. For the convenience of the handsome readers, the author has set them from bottom to top as:

Squad Leader, Platoon Leader, Hundred-man Commander (Camp Commander), Thousand-man Commander (Battalion Commander), Captain, Miscellaneous General (including all fancy prefix nouns, such as General of Tiger Might, General of Sweeping the Bandits), General of the Middle Army (like miscellaneous generals, including various prefix nouns.)

Major generals include: Four Generals of the Towns, Four Generals of the Conquests, Four Generals of the Directions, General of the Guards, General of Chariots and Cavalry, General of the Flying Cavalry, Grand General. ===== CHAPTER 184 =====
