「唉，有什麼好，這一時說不上來，相信有一天，你總會現他的優點！」凌香想到什麼道︰「對了，嫻兒跟隨語菲都還好吧？」
何蕊道︰「嫻兒整天都往皇宮里跑，指不定也會來這，語菲最近也不在學院，估計很快也會來浩城吧！」
「看來我們姐妹又快要在浩城聚集一堂！」
「說的是，其實我來，其中原來也是因為一個人在學院里悶得慌！」
「到這里，就便亂跑，到處都危險得很！」薛凌香交待道。
「我在這里又沒有熟悉的人，自然是跟著凌香你，你去哪，我便跟著去哪！」何蕊笑眯眯地道。
「那也好，有我照看你能少闖點禍！」凌香點點頭道。
浩城議政府，浩城的執政中心，跟將軍府不同的是，這里是負責浩城的政務，而將軍府是負責軍事。
就在這個浩城最大的行政中心里，一場盛大的典禮正在舉行，官員齊拜。
這時，何蕊的父親，吏部尚書何書環，正拿著著聖旨宣讀道︰「行政院吏督察範淵，浩城戰時管理有功，原五品升正四品，望汝不負皇恩，盡忠盡職！」
「吾皇萬歲萬歲萬萬歲！」這時地上官員跪拜，說到這戰時唯有的好處就是升職比和平時期更容易，一個院吏督察，什麼事都不用干，只要不岔子，就可以坐等升職。
接下來，是一些略戰功的將領，守住陣地有功，甚至還沒有受到攻擊，沒有出現大問題的將領也得到升職嘉獎。有一些確實是功的將領，比如成功奪回戰略要地的將領。更是連升兩級。總之，這是一場升職的盛宴。
在嘉獎完畢，何書環在議政廳里與浩城總督統王海闊小敘。
浩城總督統，便是浩城最大的行政者。換句話來說。在浩城他就是城主。
「恭喜王兄升為二品大員，皇上親筆御賜。可喜可賀啊！」何書環恭恭手道。
浩城總督統王海闊客套道︰「哪里哪里，在下何功之下，只是在浩城坐守，沒出亂子罷了！」
「沒有出現亂子。就是最大的功勞！」何書環也是知道，現在浩城危機，管理得住浩城，這就足已升職。
「此行真是辛苦何尚書了，千里迢迢而來！」
「皇恩浩大，賞罰分明，有功者。必是要得到獎賞，我為吏部尚書，必要是為皇上盡其職責，再遠也要把皇恩布達到位！」何書環是恨。那個書婿在這樣的黃金時下，為什麼就不爭一點氣，隨便怎麼整一下，有他這個吏部尚書在，升職是妥妥的事。
「這也是天賜良機，也是盡忠報國的最好機會，在時下建功立勛，皇恩浩大，仕途遠量啊！」
「是，現在是不怕沒有官職，只怕你沒功勞，只要你有功，朝中便是不會虧待！」
「薛將軍那邊受勛的將領應該更多吧，現在已經是戰事中最重要的軍隊，也是最有機會立功的地方！」
「我還沒有過去，但是不可否認，那邊的嘉獎是空前的，他們是大息王朝的頂梁柱，他們的份量關系大息王朝的存亡，朝中定是不會吝嗇！」何書環道。
王海闊撫撫長須，頓了頓道︰「听說他們抓了巴圖三虎將之一的鬼將歐陽杰，不知道這個功勞，能得到什麼獎賞？」
這也算是何書環在浩城听到最讓他震駭的消息，他驚道︰「他們抓了鬼將歐陽杰？」
「沒錯，早有消息傳來，確實是巴圖三大武將中的歐陽杰，我是很好奇，這個功勞會該怎麼獎，如今的嘉獎力度已如此般大！」
「這確實是天大的功勛啊，至今為止，所謂建功升職的那些戰功，只是鳳毛鱗角，而這才是真正的大戰功，可以得到皇上的親筆御賜的功勞，那是要像飛天一樣的平步青雲，就算立功者現在只是七品，直接上三品都無問題！」
王海闊呵呵笑道︰「其實我是在想，現在薛將軍這個巨大的功勞要怎麼處理，這也是個頭疼的問題！」
何書環奇怪道︰「薛將軍那邊怎麼了？」
「可能何尚書還不知道，薛將軍也沒有找到立功之人，以薛將軍的性格，斷是不會把功勞攬之自己門下，所以，在下才為薛將軍頭疼！」王海闊解釋道。
「還有這樣的事情，這樣巨大的戰功還沒人認領，這真是太可惜了，誰立此功，真的是仕途無量了！」何書環搖搖頭道。
