Chen Xizhen and Fan Qiong worshiped each other: "I obey the order."

Li Yan looked at Chen Xizhen and said, "Let's talk about the father-in-law first, the Minister of Personnel, the Minister of Pyongyang, the Patriarch of Four Kingdoms, the Prefect of Yingtian, and the Governor of Zhu Luo, I wonder which father-in-law wants?"

When Chen Xizhen heard about the positions Li Yan took out, he knew that Li Yan was really using him.

First of all, the Ministry of Personnel has always been the head of the six ministries. The Minister of Personnel is the second-in-command of the Ministry of Personnel, almost equivalent to the head of the other five ministries. It is impossible to say that Chen Xizhen is the Minister of Personnel.

Secondly, the left-behind, Mushou, prefect, and governor are all local officials, and the Pyongyang and Yingtian Prefecture mentioned by Li Yan are all important towns. If they serve as the first official in such important towns, they will never have the opportunity to serve as the chief official in this border town unless they are favored by the emperor.

Again, it is the grade. The official positions that Li Yan took out are all third-rank, and the ones who are almost the third-rank are also from third-rank. This is already a high-ranking official who can shine on his family.

Chen Xizhen bowed to the ground and said, "I thank you for your kindness!"

Li Yan said: "Don't be busy thanking me for now. These positions are accompanied by huge responsibilities. I feel that the father-in-law has great talents, so I give these positions to the father-in-law. I hope the father-in-law will not let me down."

Chen Xizhen is almost sixty this year and has been pursuing fame and fortune for most of her life. But until now, she met Li Yan, a wise master who truly knows his talents. How could she not be grateful?

Chen Xizhen, who had already bent so hard that she could no longer bend, turned three points down again, and then choked and said, "I must devote my best to the official family until I die!"

Li Yan said: "I will give you three days to consider and then tell me your choice."

Chen Xizhen said: "No!"

Li Yan's tone became softer, and he said, "Let me tell Liqing to see you. You haven't seen each other for more than ten years, right?"

Chen Xizhen's face also had a hint of softness, and she said, "In a few days, it will be twelve years."

Li Yan sighed with emotion: "Time flies so fast." Then he looked at Fan Qiong and said: "You are a powerful general. Zhao Song's military orders are different, and the war is uncertain, which makes you unable to make achievements on the battlefield. It's a pity, it's a pity."

This sentence suddenly came to Fan Qiong's heart.

Fan Qiong was unable to fight. During his time guarding Bianliang City, he led troops to fight several times and killed many enemies.

However, Zhao Song's military orders were different and the policies were changed repeatedly. One battle and another, which made him unable to respond to the battle, which led to his defeat and another defeat, and was extremely humiliated.

This is also the reason why Fan Qiong drove the Zhao Song royal family out of the city without hesitation - how can such an incompetent royal family be matched with Fan Qiong to serve, it would be better if he died early.

Li Yan continued: "I give you three choices. The first one is to serve as the deputy commander of the front hall. The second one is to serve as the deputy governor of Yizhou Prefecture. The third one is to serve as the 10,000 elite soldiers, let you form a new army and serve as the commander of this army, and then go to battle to kill the enemy and make achievements on the battlefield."

The deputy commander in front of the palace is a Beijing official, and a fourth-rank official. This is one of the few high vocations that military officials can obtain. It is a good position. What’s more important is that they can live in the prosperous Kyoto.

The deputy Jiedushi was a third-rank high-ranking official, one level higher than the deputy commander in front of the palace. He can be regarded as the second-in-commander of the Yizhou Prefecture Army. This is a good place that has certain real power and can support the elderly. However, this position is in the local area, not in the prosperous capital.

Although the level of a military consisting of 10,000 elite troops is not as high as the previous two (only the fifth grade) and does not have the honor of the first two, this is a manifestation of reuse. You must know that there are only dozens of regular troops like the Liangshan Army.

In short, Li Yan's three rewards to Fan Qiong are definitely worthy of the achievements made by Fan Qiong, who was originally just a fifth-rank official in Wenzhou Observer (the fifth-rank).
