When Liu Xie arrived in Bingbei, he first arrived in Pingyang. There was one more thing, which was certainly a major event, which was to enshrine Yinshan Mountain in Zen. The so-called ennoblement in Zen means offering sacrifices to heaven and earth.
Or to show that when the country is in peace and prosperity, a large-scale ceremony will be held to worship the heaven and earth.
Because people in ancient times lacked knowledge, the theory of round heaven and earth was relatively popular. In addition, at that time, there were Confucian students who specialized in etiquette. Most of them were in Qi and Lu. Therefore, many Confucian students at that time were recognized as Mount Tai.
It is the highest mountain among the Five Mountains, so Mount Tai was highly praised. As a result, from the first emperor of Qin to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, all of them worshiped in Mount Tai.
During the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors period in ancient times, it is said that there was a Zen ceremony, but no one knows whether it happened or not, and there are no specific written records. There are only some hearsay things, such as the birth of a golden harvest, the arrival of a phoenix, and all kinds of auspiciousness during the ceremony.
It would be embarrassing to not have some auspiciousness when the emperor is summoned, and the emperor will be granted the title of Zen...
Maybe the emperors in ancient times were more reserved, or maybe it was because of these so-called auspiciousness, well, for reasons that everyone knows, it is inconvenient to describe in detail, so there were no specific norms and procedures passed down to later generations, which caused Qin Shihuang to
After unifying China, when he wanted to go to Fengchan Taishan, he prepared a huge staff team of seventy people, but there was no way to negotiate a coordinated result, and the rules were extremely cumbersome. Qin Shihuang was so angry that he simply put all these together.
The entire advisory and discussion team dismissed him, and then he used the etiquette of worshiping the Emperor of Heaven by himself during the Warring States Period.
It was the same thing when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty came. At that time, Confucian scholars and alchemists held different opinions and argued endlessly. In the end, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty simply used the so-called etiquette of worshiping the Taitian God to consecrate Zen...
Now that Liu Xie is here, although the status of Yinshan Mountain is obviously not as important as Mount Tai, it cannot be dealt with casually, and the matter of Yinshan's enshrinement of Zen is actually of no importance to Fei Qian.
It is different from adding another layer of glory. In the eyes of some people, this naturally cannot be done so easily.
There are probably four types of people in Pingyang right now.
One is naturally the Bingbei faction headed by Fei Qian, the second is the people surrounding Yang Biao with Yang Xiu as their spokesperson, and the third is Zhong Shao, who has been greatly reduced in strength and almost marginalized after the Battle of Guanzhong.
On one side, the Guanzhong disciples headed by Zhongjie, and on the last side, naturally, the royalists on Liu Xie's side were on the rise after the Qiuxian Order.
I guess so.
Anyway, Fei Qian looked at the names under the pomegranate skirt that Liu Xie had worshiped in the past few days, um, some of the lists under the robe, and didn't find any names that could move the wind and rain, not even one that had a slight impression...
Maybe the time is still short and the people who want to come are still on their way?
However, this does not affect Liu Xie's efforts in the past two days to ennoble some of the young talents who came to seek refuge as Langguan, various ministers, and so on. Of course, this is also because Liu Xie himself, as the Emperor of the Han Dynasty,
There is nothing wrong with his right, but because the court was controlled by other people some time ago, Liu Xie was unable to use his right smoothly.
Various types of Lang officials are divided into four grades: Yi Lang, Zhong Lang, Shi Lang, and Lang Zhong. They are all the so-called ministers of the monarch. At the beginning, their main duties were to guard the gates, serve as chariots and rides, and also be ready for the emperor at all times.
The consultant dispatch has now gradually evolved into a reserve force for various officials, ready to fill the waiting list at any time.
When there are more people like this, although they do not occupy any important positions for a while, it still makes the current officials a little uncomfortable. There is a carrot in the pit, and then there is a little carrot staring at the pit.
Naturally, the big carrot felt uncomfortable.
Therefore, in such a chaotic situation, the incident of Fengchan Yinshan became a small battlefield for various parties in the court.
This matter also involves General Zhengxi Fei Qian. Who dares to touch the tiger's butt rashly? However, if General Zhengxi's power can be used to give the other party some eye drops or something, all parties involved in the wrestling will be happy to see it.
matter.
Feng Chan can be regarded as an exciting and important political event since the death of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty. Therefore, anyone who has some ideas will almost have to sharpen his head and dig into it. It is good to leave a name in the history books.
…
So, early today, a group of people gathered outside the hall of Liu Xie's palace, waiting for Liu Xie's arrival to discuss the matter together.
The first person on the left was given to Fu Wan. After all, Fu Wan was newly promoted to King Jingo and was a relative of the emperor. Naturally, he had a noble status. There was no problem in sitting in the first place. Fei Qian sat on the right.
The first place is the leader, and then Yang Xiuzhong, Shao and other talents sit on the mat according to their respective official positions.
In the Han Dynasty, unless it was a grand occasion like a meeting of hundreds of officials, the current model was still more common. The distance and gap between the emperor and his ministers were not very far. Each sat in his own seat, which only reflected the role of the monarch.
It's different, there's just an extra desk in front of me.
Naturally, Fei Qian took the lead in the matter of Fengchan Yinshan. After all, it was his own home field, so naturally he was the first to speak out:
"Your Majesty, all the emperors in ancient times were granted the title of Zen. Shun received the jade scale and unified the seven political affairs, and then offered sacrifices to God, and was favored by the six sects. He saw good fortune from the gods of the mountains and rivers, and also brought favor to the herdsmen of the five mountains. In this way.
Yu also followed it, and later Tang, Xia and Zhou followed it. At first, they were austere and found peace, but later they were negligent and caused chaos..."
"... When the Han Dynasty was prosperous, there was also auspiciousness. Taizu, a humble man, tried to kill a big snake. Someone once said: 'The snake is the son of the White Emperor, and the one who killed it was the son of the Red Emperor.' So he went to Bashang and fought with the princes in Xianyang.
, established him as the King of Han, and finally established the Han Dynasty..."
"...Emperor Wen worshiped in the suburbs, and the fire power was lifted up in the shrine, which was as glorious as the heavens. He also saw the five emperors at Changmen in the north of the road. This is a sign of good fortune for the world, and the rule of Wen and Jing in the rear..."
"...The merits of Emperor Wu are astonishing in the past and today. He drove the Xiongnu from the north, the barbarians from the south, expanded the territory to the west, and conquered Hu Huan in the east. The land of Yinshan Mountain also belonged to the Han Dynasty. The Yinshan Mountain was enshrined in Zen, which shocked the desert. For more than a hundred years, Hu Huan
No one dares to look directly..."
"...Then, Xianbei rose up in Mobei, invaded and harassed the south, and the Yinshan Mountains also fell into ashes. Fortunately, your majesty received great blessings and received orders from soldiers. With the help of false ministers, a corner of the Yinshan Mountains was recovered and returned to the Han Dynasty. This is your Majesty's heaven.
The omen of the family members is also the beginning of peace in all directions, so we should carry out the ceremony of sealing Zen to clearly show that the whole world is celebrating!"
Of course, whether this recovery of Yinshan is a so-called auspicious sign, everyone present basically knows it well. Even Liu Xie actually understands it to a certain extent, but none of you present are stupid enough to jump out and say it.
This matter was not as trivial as Liu Xie's, so when Fei Qian finished speaking, he congratulated Liu Xie almost in unison.
At the same time, everyone present looked at Fei Qian with extremely complicated eyes. But now, since Fei Qian has brought out such a large plate of food, it is now a question of how much he can put it on his own plate.
The enshrinement of Yinshan Mountain does not mean that Emperor Liu Xie climbed up Yinshan Mountain alone and muttered a few words. It also required a lot of preparation work and various ceremonial utensils, so as to reflect the royal style and show the international style of the Han Dynasty.
Wait, so there are a lot of things to do...
Liu Xie looked around and saw that everyone was in favor of Yinshan's enshrinement. He couldn't help but show a relaxed smile, nodded and said: "What Fei Aiqing said is very popular with me. Yinshan is a vassal of the Han Dynasty.
, we should celebrate our return to the Han Dynasty. Now that the world is uneasy, it is even more necessary to shock Xiaoxiao and calm the hearts of the people."
Everyone also said that what Liu Xie said was very reasonable, far-sighted, strategically placed, and superior to others...
In fact, most of the people, including those on the Zhongjie side who are somewhat in alliance with Fei Qian, believe that even if Yinshan is recovered, there may not be any special benefits. The Bingbei area has been disturbed by the barbarians before.
The country was in a state of ruins, with a sparse population and few products. They faced ferocious barbarians every day. As early as the period of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, most of the officials in the Bingbei area had held official positions as commanders, and even as long as they were
If someone is willing to go, they will be hired out of the norm, just like when Fei Qian said he wanted to go to the north. As long as he is willing to go, he will be sent wherever he wants to go. If the official quality is not enough, even if he is pretending to be in power like Fei Qian at the time,
become.
Even so, few people are willing to serve as officials in Bingbei. This mode of thinking has been around for decades. How can it be immediately relieved just because Pingyang has changed?
Furthermore, Fei's latent presence in Pingyang can be more or less controlled, but if something happens and he leaves Pingyang, it will not affect the Qiang, Huns, and Xianbei in the north. It is still unknown whether he can continue to maintain his composure.
Therefore, most people think that it is the right thing to fulfill Liu Xie's wish as soon as possible, and then settle the matter early and return to Kyoto...
Liu Xie sat at the top, still immersed in the auspicious heavenly blessings described by Fei Qian, with a smile that could not be concealed at the corner of his mouth, but he wanted to seriously express that he actually didn't care about this, and cared more about
It was the people of the Han Dynasty who were suffering, so he continued: "In the Bingbei area, the people are mostly poor, and life is not easy, so there is no need to greet them along the way..."
"Your Majesty is Holy Ming."
"Your Majesty is concerned about the people, and this is the reason of the Holy Lord."
"..."
That said, but in fact, there is no place to do anything like burning incense, spreading soil, and setting up tables and kneeling to welcome people along the way. From Pingyang to Yinshan, except for a few pitiful county towns, there is no place to do it.
Most of them are desolate and uninhabited countryside, with people along the way coming from nowhere.
"...Ahem..." Yang Xiu sat aside, raised his sleeves, and coughed slightly, seemingly intentionally or unintentionally.
Fu De glanced at Yang Xiu slightly, pondered for a moment, raised his hands and said: "Your Majesty's enthronement is also a blessing for the world, how can it reduce the embarrassment? Although Your Majesty is considerate of his subjects, but the subjects also have the heart to repay His Majesty's kindness, how can Your Majesty tolerate it?
Reject?"
"This..." Liu Xie couldn't help but hesitate after hearing this.
How can young people not like blooming flowers, and who doesn't like the bustle and bustle. They say they want to be simple and frugal, but who really likes to go to Yinshan Mountain all the way to Yinshan Mountain while eating large, solid pancakes made of coarse flour and mixed grains with cold water?
But the problem is how much wealth the court has now. As Liu Xie, how can he not know it? What's more, he ran out of Guanzhong this time. Although some court officials are coming one after another, these officials also did not bring them with them.
Any money brought in, the expenses for this period of time were provided by Fei Qian, the General of the Conquest of the West. Now, if we want to make it more prosperous and complicated, doesn't it mean that we have to spend more money?
However, in Fu De's mind, what he was thinking about was that Fei Qian was the most favored at the moment. Fei Qian had taken most of Fengchan Yinshan's glory, so it was natural to spend some blood to dress up. After all, it was reasonable.
Even if I am wronged, I cannot wrong Your Majesty, right?
"Um...how much money is left in the treasury and the Young Mansion now?" Liu Xie thought for a while, then asked knowingly.
Everyone lowered their heads to Liu Xie's question, and no one answered for a while. The scene was inevitably a bit awkward.
It is pitiful to say that, as the emperor, Liu Xie was not under the control of Liu Xie at all, not to mention the treasury, even the Shaofu, which should have been under the management of the royal family. Therefore, it is probably not wrong to say that Liu Xie is a poor man.
.
However, since Liu Xie had asked the question, he had to give an explanation. Therefore, as a relative of the state, Fu Wan naturally had to stand up for Liu Xie, so he half-turned around, looked at Zhongjie, and said: "Doctor Zhong, the treasury of the feudal lord in Kyoto, Guanzhong
, are all under the control of your father, why don’t you report the truth to Your Majesty?”
Zhongjie cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, please return to Duke Fu. Originally, the Guanzhong Treasury Mansion was indeed managed by my father, but..."
Zhong Jieheng glanced at Yang Xiu, and then said: "But... the Marquis of Linjin organized a rebellion and surrounded the two palaces, and the Treasury has lost its control. I'm afraid..."
Hearing this, Yang Xiu could no longer pretend to be deaf and mute, and immediately raised his hands and said, "Your Majesty, what Dr. Zhong said is wrong! In the past, Minister Zhong used the emperor's orders to bully the ministers and poison the people. The pass was like a fire and water.
Normally, my father couldn't bear it anymore. In order to save your majesty from the fire and water, and save the generals of China from falling, he went out to remonstrate with troops, but Bu Zhongshangshu actually held your majesty hostage..."
Liu Xie frowned upon hearing this.
Anyway, these two people have never dealt with each other all the way, and they have pointed at each other not once or twice. But with such a bunch of words, other aspects aside, there is one thing that the two sides agree on very clearly, that is, there is no such thing.
As for money, Yang Xiu also has no money. As for whether the original treasury master's house has money or not, no one can figure out this bad debt now.
At present, the finances of the Han Dynasty are almost exhausted.
The rich Jizhou and Yuzhou were all occupied by the Yuan family. Hongnong Guanzhong had just experienced a catastrophe. It is hard to say how much output there was. As for the rest of the places, although they have not yet expressed their intention to break away from the rule of the Han Dynasty, in fact they were originally
The finances that should be escorted to the imperial court were all intercepted locally...
It can be said that today's Han Dynasty treasury is just like Liu Xie's chin, smooth and tender, without even a hair...
