The sound of footsteps came from outside the door. Xu Ping raised his head and saw Liu Xiaoyi attracting Gao Daquan and Yang Wenguang. Di Qing walked in.

When we got to the front and sang the promise, Gao Daquan said, "We have some business to go to the city today, so we will come to visit the officials."

Xu Ping nodded: "Have you finished the work? When will you go back?"

"I still have some tips, I'll wait until I'll come back tomorrow."

Xu Ping said: "That's right, let's live here tonight. There is no one else at home now. We haven't seen each other for a long time. We've gone out with me later, find a restaurant to have a few drinks and talk about gossip."

The three of them agreed and thanked Xu Ping together.

He ordered Liu Xiaoyi to take a few chairs and let Gao Daquan and the other two sit down. Xu Ping asked him: "How are you doing in the imperial guards now? I heard you talk about it a few days ago and I don't know what troubles you have."

Gao Daquan thought for a while before saying, "No matter how unsatisfactory it is, it is much better than the general generals. I am promoted quickly in recent years, and it is inevitable that I will be jealous. It is all rumors, so I don't need to pay attention to them."

Normally, military officers will be moved every five years. If they do not have special circumstances, they will be a small and small envoy of all their lives, and they will only support their families. In history, Yang Wenguang was only promoted to the ninth rank of Dianzhi in his forties, and they were both middle and lower classes among the small envoys. Later generations regarded the Yang family as the generals of the Northern Song Dynasty, which was quite representative, so this generals would be too shabby. Like Li Zhang, Gao Daquan added "carrying equipment" two years ago, and he had

Military merits are promoted much faster than others. With Zhao Zhen’s appreciation, he has been promoted several times, and now he is considered a middle-level and senior management of the imperial guards in terms of qualifications. "Training imperial equipment" means the same as "Jingmen Gehou" and "Jingmen Seren", and is a recent position. For Li Zhang, who is by the emperor, it has practical significance. He wears a polite sword when he is on duty, and for Gao Daquan, it is a post position, similar to the nature of a civil servant.

Military officers are not necessarily soldiers. Most of them actually do civil servants, but they only have different promotion sequences and different statuses. Officials only send their salaries, which stipulate the income, and determine the status of the job. A real soldier must have military positions or military positions, otherwise it will only be part of civil servants in the broad sense of later generations.

Military positions refer to positions held by military generals in the imperial guards, such as Gao Daquan's military Yuhou, Yang Wenguang's deputy commander, and Di Qing's deputy head. Military positions have ranks, so they also have the nature of an official, but Di Qing is still a rankless miscellaneous rank.

The military position has no rank, and of course it does not refer to the identity of a soldier, but to the identity of a commander. For example, the main deployment and deputy deployment of a road level, the commander, the chief supervisor and the inspector of the inspector. Xu Ping's former subordinates, Sang Yi and Zhang Rong, now they have no military positions but military positions, so they are military generals in the true sense, rather than military officers in the broad sense.

Generally speaking, it is not easy to lead military positions in the imperial guards. It is said that it is moved every five years. Due to excessive cute officials and limited posts, it is common to not move for ten years. Even if there is a vacancies and the opportunity for promotion often falls on those who are really related to the generals and have backstage in the Sanya. Yang Wenguang is a famous general, and his father's status is high enough, but because Yang Yanzhao is a border general and has no connections in the Sanya, he has encountered the fact that he cannot be transferred for ten years in history. As for Di Qing's background, if he has no war and has made military achievements, someone will have to be optimistic about promotion. It would be good to be able to become an official in the whole life.

If you are leading troops outside, you will have more opportunities to make military achievements and easier promotion. Moreover, you will have more opportunities to deal with civil servants in power. If you are really capable, you will be much better than to sink into the imperial guards. Just like Sang Yi, you actually have no more years of military service than Di Qing, but if you are appreciated by Xu Ping, the status of the two people is very different when they use him to fight. However, that kind of opportunity is hard to come by, because most of the military service positions are transferred from military personnel of the imperial guards. Without the experience of an imperial guard, it is difficult to have military service positions.

Gao Daquan is telling the truth. Without Xu Ping, he had those military achievements and no current status. As a third-rank official in the court, the Privy Council still had to give this face to Xu Ping. His subordinates at that time had at least no delay in moving officials. As for being excluded in the imperial guards, it was inevitable. An outsider, among a group of generals, was promoted faster than others, and of course he could not tolerate it. Not to mention Gao Daquan, Yang Yanzhao was in power at the northern border and kept the border peace for decades, and he was unable to join the Third Yai to serve as a military commander. Others recommended him, Zhenzong said that he was a border general and entering the Third Yai was not a good thing, and others could not tolerate him.

The past two days have caused some annoyance by the military affairs. Xu Ping said: "If you don't stay in the imperial guards, I recommend you to go to the border if you have the chance. Even if you inspect a state and a county, you will always have the chance to make military achievements with one knife and one shot."

After hearing this, Di Qing crossed his hands and said, "If we receive the favor of the Lord, we will live up to our expectations and make a career!"

Xu Ping nodded: "The northwest has been in a tight situation in the past two years, and a war may begin at any time. I remember this in my heart. When will the northwest become vacant, you should go there."

Di Qing and Yang Wen thanked each other. With the current position of Xu Ping as the provincial governor of the three departments, it is indeed a small task to recommend officials of this position. The two have been in the imperial guards for some years, and they are all very energetic when compared with the people around them. As long as they have the opportunity, they will never be inferior to those who are not good at using it.

Gao Daquan didn't speak. Xu Ping arranged it in the imperial guards, so he asked him to cultivate some connections first regardless of whether it was good or bad. As for when to go out to lead troops, it naturally depends on Xu Ping's meaning, and he didn't need to worry about it. Unlike Yang Wenguang and Di Qing, he has a backer. Although this backer cannot speak in the third yamen, the Privy Council still has to sell face.

Seeing Di Qing looking eager to try, Gao Daquan said, "This matter is not in a hurry. I heard people chatting that Li Guojiu from the Group Masters Department is going to join the third yamen. If Li Guojiu comes, it is better to be promoted and go out to lead troops."

In the past two years, Li Yonghe has been running around in various herdsmen's prisons. He has rarely returned to the capital. Xu Ping has not seen him after returning to the capital, and he has not heard of this news yet. As for Li Zhang, he was surrounded by Zhao Zhen and did not let him contact these things. He didn't know that it was common. However, the three imperial guards were very sensitive to this and had spread at the level of Gaodaquan.
