Chapter 544
In the following days, although Zhuge Liang had a holiday, he was obviously a person who couldn't rest. He still ran to Li Su almost every day to learn about his internal affairs and personnel struggle experience, and how to differentiate and disintegrate bad policies and conservative forces' interest groups.
It seems that for Zhuge Liang, this kind of learning progress is a holiday, which makes him more relaxed and happy than sleeping and traveling. In just over a dozen days, he gained a lot of experience in actual politics.
Because the details are too trivial, there is no need to enumerate them all. As long as you know, for the new law that will be implemented after Liu Bei ascended the throne, and every possible resistance and objection, Li Su has made plans and thought of countermeasures in the past few months, and is enough to wait for the opposition to jump into the trap.
The answer will be revealed when specific tricks are used.
Of course, Zhuge Liang did not have any leave or was busy with private affairs. Didn’t he say that before, when he followed Li Su to fight for the war in Nanyang a few months ago, he had already made a marriage with Huang Chengyan’s family and decided to marry Huang Yueying.
Now, according to the engagement period of "March of Doctors", the time is almost up. Zhuge Liang took advantage of Liu Bei's official ascendance to the throne and became a officials to hold his own marriage in advance.
After delaying for another three months, Huang Yueying finally turned fourteen years old, which was a normal marriage age for the ancients. Zhuge Liang did this with good intentions, leaving some face for his wife and family, and not accuses Huang Yueying's family of "Afu to the powerful".
After all, Zhuge Liang is still just a former general Sima. After reading the article Liu Bei was promoted to the award of all officials, Zhuge Liang also served as the prefect of Hedong, the chief secretary of the lieutenant, and Huang Yueying remarried. The suspicion of "just looking at the success of the other party's youth, high position and power, and flattery" is even greater. The secular vision will not judge whether they are truly in love and appreciate each other.
As for Xiaoqiao, who had been punished as slaves as a criminal female family member, although he had been living in Zhuge Liang's house for two or three months, Zhuge Liang had not moved for the time being. He did not want to have too many troubles to cause trouble for his wives, concubines, and the family would be incompatible in the future.
However, this operation was obviously in vain later, because Zhuge Liang and Huang Yueying had no descendants in history. Zhuge Liang's concubine became pregnant and had a child after he was forty-five years old. It should be Huang Yueying's physical problem, and this has not been changed in this life.
Later, Xiaoqiao gave birth to a son for Zhuge Liang within two or three years (200 years) after his marriage. Although he was also named Zhuge Zhan, he looked much more handsome than Zhuge Zhan in history, obviously because his matriarchal genes were more beautiful.
These are all irrelevant.
...
In addition to the chores planned by Li Su, Zhuge Liang and Fa Zheng.
Before Liu Bei ascended the throne, the last major event worth briefly in Chang'an City was the final entry of Liu Biao, the governor of Jingzhou, to enter Beijing.
With Yiji's mediation, Liu Biao accepted the condition of "recognizing that Liu Bei was killed and then promoted to emperor", and since March, he has remained in Jingzhou and Xiangyang. Although Liu Bei granted Liu Biao a high-ranking official and a generous salary, and gave him his descendants a position, Liu Biao was still hesitant about coming to Chang'an in person.
However, Yi Ji was also good for Liu Biao, who was the fellow Shanyang villager to travel around and travel between Xiangyang and Chang'an to strive for better conditions.
In order to show his orthodoxy and his new situation, Liu Bei is far beyond Liu He's attitude, and he is also working hard to improve the promised treatment again and again.
From Liu Bei's standpoint, one of the important reasons why Liu He on the other side had orthodox flaws was that "the people who supported Liu He were not really loyal to the Han Dynasty, and Liu He was just a puppet held hostage by the princes." An important argument for this argument is that "Liu He actually could not command any of the princes who recognized Liu He."
For example, Cao Cao, Sun Ce, and Liu He could not summon them to Yecheng for a pilgrimage. Cao Cao and Sun Ce would definitely be worried about being detained by Yuan Shao, either pretending to be sick or looking for other excuses. If the princes do not come to pay tribute, what are you, Liu He, who has the face to brag about yourself?
In contrast, if Liu Bei wants to show that he is a monarch who is not controlled by powerful ministers and princes, he must set up several typical signs on the front.
Since Liu Bei's territory was almost all captured by himself and achieved direct jurisdiction, there was no indirect ruling territory won over by other "diplomacy victories". After counting, he had to use Liu Biao as the target of this "golden gold city bone".
Let the people of the world see clearly: as long as you surrender to Liu Bei, even if you were once a prince, you can still be prosperous and wealthy and have a good end. There is no need to worry about the risk of high merits and no rewards or high reputation as a master. This sign must not be defeated, and it cannot be given the princes of the world to attack Liu Bei's "meaning and ruthlessness".
In this way, under the struggle of Liu Bei's generosity and Yi Ji, Liu Bei expressed that while appointing Liu Biao as the Grand Principal, he would also adjust the responsibilities of the Nine Ministers, expand the authority of the Grand Principal, and be ranked as the leader of the Nine Ministers.
This matter was not something that Liu Bei said casually, but also because Li Su was discussing with him the reform of the official system, and the powers of the nine ministers were re-divided, and they should be demolished and merged, so it was just right to merge those judges.
The big clan was originally just in charge of the affairs of the clan, and when the number of clan members was small, it was relatively leisurely. Since Liu Bei had started a new career, many of the close clan members of the Eastern Han Dynasty would be considered far-reaching clan members in the future.
Although the "Follow King Jing of Zhongshan" like Liu Bei will become a close branch, Liu Bei will definitely do very strict in "certification". If the evidence is insufficient, it will definitely not be recognized by Zongzheng's mansion and record the score. Therefore, Zongzheng's workload in the early years of the new emperor must be very relaxed.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, due to the reform of the official system, Li Su originally suggested that Liu Bei dismantle the responsibilities of "Taichangqing" (equivalent to the Ministry of Rites) into three parts. Taichangqing's sacrificial and music work was one part, the imperial examination education work was one part (equivalent to the Ministry of Education), and diplomatic work was merged with the Dahonglu.
Now, the Taichang's responsibility for rituals, music and sacrifices was incorporated into Zongzheng, and the Dazong Zheng orthodox government was in charge of the Dazong Zheng, and the Dazong Zheng was mentioned to the head of the Nine Ministers. In this way, although Liu Biao had also been Zongzheng when Emperor Ling of Han was dying, when he came back, his status was much higher than before, which could be regarded as a compensation for his years of qualifications and the reward for giving up the governor of Jingzhou.
In addition, Liu Bei also granted 50,000 households in five counties in Nanjun to Liu Biao, which regarded half of Nanjun as the private fiefdom of Liu Biao's family. However, it was agreed that one county would be reduced to one county in the world, which means that it would be passed on to the generation of his son Liu Qi, which was only four counties. By analogy, he could be granted the highest grandson of Liu Biao and the last county fief.
Under these generous conditions, Liu Biao finally came to Chang'an on June 25th, with the last five days before Liu Bei ascended the throne. Liu Bei personally went to Lantian to greet him, and privately called him brothers and was very courteous. Liu Biao was finally completely relieved.
Liu Qi also officially continued to be the prefect of Nanjun, and Yiji changed the title of the third leader of the diplomatic system to carry out the order.
The other civil officials under Liu Biao, Kuai Liang, Kuai Yue, Han Song, Fu Xun, Liu Xian, etc. were also appointed separately. Kuai Liang remained as the prefect of Xiangyang, and Kuai Yue was transferred to Chang'an, and the rest were in charge of local counties and counties in turn.
Among the military generals under Liu Biao, Wenpin was the prefect of Yidu and replaced the defense area that Zhou Tai was responsible for before; Wang Wei stayed in Nanjun and still obeyed Liu Qi's command and was responsible for Nanjun's defense. Huang Zhong was transferred to Chang'an and joined other troops, but Huang Zhong had no contribution and was not even a lieutenant for the time being.
...
After fully accepting Liu Biao's territory and civil and military subordinates, Liu Bei was finally able to embellish the peace and officially ascend the throne.
One day at the end of June, Jia Xu was brought up from the prison of Tingwei. At the intersection of the square where the Liucao Office was gathered, he abandoned the market in public and dismembered the people.
The civilians in Chang'an City rarely celebrated another day, second only to when Dong Zhuo and Li Jue were killed. Even the vegetable dealers in Chang'an City found that the business of eating and drinking that day was three or five times better than usual.
The next morning, before the joyful atmosphere had dissipated, Liu Bei held a ceremony to worship the heaven and earth in the southern suburbs of Chang'an and ascend the throne. All officials were in court, and even Cai Yong, who had retired for half a year, participated slightly.
There is no way, Li Su actually doesn't want to work for his father-in-law, but there is Yang Biao in Yuan Shao, and most of the elderly ministers in the court are in Yuan Shao's place, as well as "moral models" such as Hua Xin and Kong Rong.
Therefore, letting Cai Yong show his seniority, it seems that Liu Bei has a veteran of the three dynasties, which is very important. Cai Yong is nine years older than Yang Biao. Since Zhu Yan's death, no one has been older than Cai Yong's first-class official in the court, and he is just the mascot.
Cai Yong was about to be sixty-six years old. In contrast, among the top officials of Liu Bei, the second-old Xu Jing was only in his early fifties (Liu Biao was fifty-six, but Liu Biao did not count). Zhong Yao was forty-eight and Xun You forty-two. Even if there were older ones, his official position was not high enough.
Cai Yong's physical condition was actually good, but Li Su took care of him not to look too healthy, so he deliberately shivered a little while walking, and Liu Bei also allowed him to bring his servants to help him.
All of this was obviously to conceal the beginning of the year when Cai Yong "returned his hometown" from Liu Xie and returned from Luoyang to Chang'an. If Cai Yong's physical condition seemed too healthy after half a year of recuperation, the world would easily say that he was disloyal to the late emperor.
So, Cai Yong presided over the ceremony naturally and recited some words such as "The emperor was about to announce to the emperor and the empress, and the Han Dynasty had no boundaries in the world..."
From the beginning of Dong Zhuo, Li Jue, Guo Si, and Yuan Shao, they either condemn the court, or steal the artifacts, or puppet puppet emperors. Finally, they announced that Liu Bei would succeed the Han heir.
These rhetorics are slightly different from Liu Bei's later proclaimed emperor in history and Emperor Guangwu's proclaimed emperor in the past. The main ones are those words such as "If you have no talent and virtue, please choose those with virtue to live in it" to save the routine.
Mainly, Yuan Shao has also puppetized a person surnamed Liu. No matter how hypocritical Liu Bei is, it is easy to damage morale. In addition, Liu Bei no longer believes in the "resonance of heaven and man", so he has changed his belief that there is blessing in the palace, so there is no five virtues at the beginning and end. The conditions for the monarch to judge virtue have also been modified.
The speech that Cai Yong read was also a re-modified wording based on his own understanding of the theory of blessings in the palace.
After all, when Li Sugang proposed this theory, he also took advantage of Cai Yong's academic reputation and participated. In recent years, Cai Yong has worked hard to figure out theories and perfected the literary details.
With Cai Yong's literary status, no one will question the professionalism of what he wrote.
After reading all the readings, Liu Bei took the stage to get the jade seal and officially became emperor. He was thirty-seven years old. He changed the lunar name to "Zhangwu", which was the meaning of "showing martial arts".
Queen Wu Xian was named queen, eldest son Liu Yong was named prince (four years old), and two youngest daughters were named princess.
Cai Yong was appointed as the Grand Tutor, Chen Liuhou, and had a fief of ten thousand households.
Guan Yu was the Grand Marshal, Li Su was the Sikong, and General Wei. Both had fiefs of ten thousand households. Zhong Yao was the Situ, and Xun You was the Shangshu Ling. These two lacked military merits and could only be granted the title of Duxiang Hou. There was no clear fief, and had three hundred households.
Zhang Fei was the general of the chariot and cavalry, with a fief of 8,000 households.
Wu Kuang was the former general and Zhao Yun was the latter general, with each fief of 5,000 households.
Ma Chao was the general of the Western Expedition, the county marquis, with a fief of 4,000 households, Dianwei was the Central Guard Army, the Township Marquis, with a fief of 2,000 households, and Gao Shun was the General of Annan, the Township Marquis, with a fief of 1,500 households.
The other miscellaneous generals include Gan Ning as General Henghai, Zhou Tai as General Lou Chuan, Xu Huang as General Yingyang, and Taishi Ci as General Fubo, and they cannot win one by one. The titles range from Qianhuxiang Hou to Four Hundred Huting Hou.
The generals of the heavy number do not need to be fully sealed, leaving enough absent, because the world has not yet been peaceful, leaving room for everyone to fight for. As for the generals of the miscellaneous number, they are even more dissatisfied.
Huang Zhong, Li Yan, Zhang Ren, Yan Yan and Yan Yan were all lieutenants, and the highest titles were only Duting Hou, with a fief of 200 households, or Guannei Hou; Guan Ping, Wei Yan, and Chen Da were lieutenants, without a title.
As for civil servants, the nine ministers were not fully qualified, because many of Liu Bei's direct civil servants were less than the seniority, and some yamen only had a Shaoqing to preside over the work and would be promoted after the reform was completed.
The main top leaders of the nine departments, including Liu Biao, Guan Ning, Xu Jing, Liu Ba, Guoyuan, Jian Yong, Fa Zheng, Sun Qian, Dong He. Among them, Liu Biao, Liu Ba, Guoyuan and Jian Yong had fiefs, and the other three were Guanneihou.
Lu Su, Zhuge Jin and others, who were not under these people, were responsible for the work of governors in Jingzhou and Yizhou, the two major southern states in the south, so they did not come to the central government to be the Nine Ministers. Huang Quan was transferred to Jiaozhou as the governor and replaced Lu Su, who was transferred to Jingzhou.
However, Lu Su also obtained the Qianhu Township Marquis, Zhuge Jin's Five Hundred Housing Marquis, and his fief was even higher than the three dukes who had pure civil officials such as Zhong Yao and Xun You.
It was mainly because Lu Su had military achievements in the local area, and the Zhuge family had huge donations. In the Qin and Han rank system, there were first huge donations to support the army's titles, because the first twenty-level titles in Qin were originally "rewards for farming and war", among which the titles of "farming" were donated military rations to the country.
However, after the White Horse Alliance, the Marquis of the Assistant Army was gradually abolished. After Liu Bei became emperor, he opened the gap again, but the attack on the sale of officials was also a three-point fire for the new official to take office.
There are also some deputy positions in various departments who assisted them, including Qin Mi, Fei Shi, Xi Lu, Cheng Bing, Zhang Song, Yang Hong, Yi Ji, Zhang Ji, Xiang Lang, Du Ji... The remaining officials cannot be won.
These departments will soon be reorganized according to officials, households, etiquette, soldiers, punishments, and engineering.
At the same time, the etiquette was dismantled and the "literature" was "made" the second ministries to manage education and diplomacy, and the remaining "ritual" was returned to the ancestors.
