Chapter 93

Now... he might as well wash up and go to sleep!

Thinking of this.

Jia Xu made up his mind.

Although this fellow Gu Yi often uses him, Jia Wenhe, as a tool.

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

At the grand court meeting the next day.

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

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

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

With his status in Dong Zhuo's army, why would he care about these empty names?

However.

Old Dong is protective of his own and felt that he couldn't treat his granddaughter's husband poorly.

So, he directly promoted Gu Yi to the position of Tingwei, ranking among the Nine Ministers.

A Tingwei under twenty years old.

Looking at the entire two Han periods.

There is only Gu Yi.

No one dared to stand up and raise objections.

After all.

Who in Changancheng doesn't know that Gu Yi is both Old Dong's granddaughter's husband and the strategist of Dong Zhuo's army?

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

As for the high-level officials of Dong Zhuo's 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 be ranked among the Three Excellencies. (Dog head funny)

After conferring titles on Gu Yi.

Dong Zhuo also conferred the title of Imperial Secretary on Ma Teng.

In the two Han periods, the Imperial Secretary sat under the Grand Censor.

At this moment, the Grand Censor is still alive.

Except for the name sounding good, the Imperial Secretary is actually useless and is purely an empty title.

However, the rank is not low.

When holding meetings in the court, the position where he stands will also be relatively forward.

For someone like Ma Teng, who was recruited, being able to obtain such a position is truly not bad.

Immediately after, it was the turn of the generals of Dong Zhuo's army.

Li Jue and Guo Si, although they were defeated before.

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

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

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

Zhang Ji and Hua Xiong followed Gu Yi to pacify Liangzhou and made contributions.

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

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

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

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

But for Zhang Xiu, it was also a great improvement.

You must know that his uncle, Zhang Ji, only has a position one level higher than him now!

Zhao Zilong and Zhang He followed Xu Rong to guard Fufeng and made contributions, each promoted one level.

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

These are also a type of miscellaneous general.

However, it is worth mentioning.

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

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

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

Yan Xing and Cheng Gongying were conferred the titles of miscellaneous generals for their contributions 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 is the lowest for now, with his ability, I believe he will soon be able to make contributions and get promoted.

And after conferring titles on these meritorious officials.

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

Squad Leader, Platoon Leader, Company Commander (Tun Zhang), Battalion Commander (Thousand-man commander), Colonel, 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 Town Generals, Four Conquest Generals, Four Directions Generals, General of the Guards, General of Chariots and Cavalry, General of Agile Cavalry, Grand General.

"Promote Xu Rong to General of the West, in command of all military affairs in Liangzhou!"

"Boom!"

Accompanied by the voice of the eunuch reading the memorial.

The Xiliang lineage was collectively stunned.

The Luoyang Imperial Guard lineage almost couldn't help but celebrate in the hall!

Xu Rong himself had a trace of astonishment on his poker face.

Immediately, he looked at Gu Yi not far away.

The latter was smiling at him as a signal.

"Subject, Xu Rong, accepts the decree!"

Xu Rong hurriedly forced himself to suppress the shock in his heart.

He stepped forward and took the imperial decree conferring his title.

This so-called imperial decree, of course, is written however Old Dong wants it to be written.

Anyway, the Han court is now equivalent to a puppet in his hands.

In other words.

Appointing Xu Rong as General of the West is exactly Old Dong's own intention.

Thinking of this, several high-level generals of the Xiliang lineage widened their eyes.

Especially Li Jue and Guo Si, who almost couldn't help but rush up to beat Xu Rong!

"What the hell!"

"Why can Xu Rong become General of the West and also command all military affairs in Liangzhou?"

"Shouldn't this position be handed over to us?"

Several high-level generals of the Xiliang lineage collectively had such a thought in their hearts.

However.

Their reactions were already within Dong Zhuo's expectations.

Listening to the noisy sounds in the palace hall, Old Dong stepped forward, came to the side of the little Emperor Liu Xie's dragon chair, and said in a deep voice:

"Silence!"

"Making such a racket, what kind of behavior is this?"

"Instead of being so jealous of those who have made contributions, why don't you use your own abilities to establish merits?"

"Could it be that this is how I taught you in the first place?"
