Chapter 1888: Preliminary exploration of the title, visiting the altar for conferment
The problem of anti-corruption did not arise in a day, nor can it be solved in a day. It is like psoriasis, or like Xiaoqiang. After killing one wave, there will still be another wave. When you see one,
, often there is already a nest underneath.
This is a huge project, and Fei Qian has only just begun.
When you bring out the big stick, you also have to bring out the carrot.
Hurrying slowly, the general worship altar in Longshouyuan was finally built and the ceremony could be held as scheduled.
Is it a meritorious title? Who doesn’t like it?
Since the Qin Dynasty, China has begun to move toward centralization and unification. However, in fact, even with the supreme authority of Qin Shihuang and the majestic military power, it still cannot completely overthrow the legacy of the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods.
The system of decentralization of power among princes, even in the Han Dynasty, the powers of local governors were still like those of princes, and the central government's control system was very extensive and lagging behind.
However, one thing that is good about the Han Dynasty is that even though the area that the court can control is extremely shrinking, even if the officials in various counties and counties are hereditary, they still follow the Han Dynasty's official selection system on the surface, that is, they are elected by the previous chief or
Their subordinates would elect the next chief, or conduct some kind of election by the village elders, etc., and then report to the court - although the so-called reporting meant setting up an altar and burning the seals. As for whether the emperor could get the news from heaven.
Just get the information and forget about it. After all, it’s not called the “Emperor”. If God is not prepared to tell you, who can blame you?
Even so, from this perspective, in the Han Dynasty, only titles were hereditary, and there was no hereditary real power in counties.
Although this is often the case in name only, it can be considered an improvement.
As for the so-called Jizhou in the Tang Dynasty, in a sense, it is a setback. After all, allowing ethnic minorities in remote areas to self-govern is a temporary measure taken due to issues such as transportation time limits. There is no
What's the problem? But if the chiefs allow it to be hereditary by the tribe leader and completely let it go, what's the difference between it and separatism?
Therefore, after the Tang Dynasty, the Song Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty, the chieftain system was formed, which made many remote areas of the Chinese territory included in the Han Dynasty, and gradually moved towards splitting and separatist regimes. Of course, it was also a good thing done by Wu Zetian, an old lady.
He fought internally, but externally, he had to compromise again and again. The same was true for Cixi in later generations.
From a certain perspective, the chieftain system seemed to have achieved short-term peace, but in the long run, it actually formed a huge resistance to the unification of China and its continued territorial expansion.
Fei Qian believes that when the terrain of China is complex, the north and south are far away, and the territory is vast, only unification is the most correct choice. Otherwise, it will easily form divisions, which will get out of control and no longer be able to expand outward. Therefore, Fei Qian
This is the case with many of the things that Qian is doing now. The more remote the place, the more it is necessary to penetrate Chinese culture and promote enlightenment. Then after three generations, it will naturally basically convert.
To form a deterrent force against counties, counties and remote areas, strong central military strength is indispensable.
To maintain the honor system in the army, military generals, especially outstanding commanders, must be given hereditary but decreasing titles as rewards. Correspondingly, civil servants can be granted on-the-ground management rights.
, but cannot give them hereditary inheritance rights.
To put it simply, it’s just one thing: you can’t be ennobled without military merit.
After all, it is unavoidable for the emperor to give his children princes and princesses, but they can give treatment, not glory, nor real power. In other words, the management power of real land can be hereditary, and only the title of military merit, and
It has been decreasing from generation to generation, so that it can basically be said that there will be no life-threatening fights on the battlefield, but the benefits are not as great as those obtained by flattering the emperor, leading more and more people to choose the latter, so that the country's martial spirit is becoming more and more
Worse, less and less.
In this way, in the high-level titles, there are two lines of kings with the same surname and marquis with different surnames. The king is the king and the marquis is the marquis. Although both lines can obtain fiefs, if the king is a false title, he will receive an extra amount of money, food and salary.
The marquises were granted real seals, and as many as possible were granted seals in newly developed territories.
The so-called kings have only one level, that is, a prince named so and so, or a princess, or a county, or a county. The size of the fiefdom also represents the size of the "king". According to the practice of the Han Dynasty, the king does not hold real power.
, the actual local government affairs are controlled by the prime minister, who has the authority to open temples and offer sacrifices, but has no actual military power. If the royal family of a foreign country surrenders, it will also be integrated into this system. Such as the Xiongnu, Wuhuan, Xianbei and even Qiang
, the chiefs of various tribes, etc., either directly use the title of the king of the Han family, or still use his old title, such as Chanyu, etc., and their status is basically the same as that of the king with the same surname. The prime minister is appointed by the central court, with a term of office, and
Assessment.
The marquis system is based on the duke, marquis, uncle, son, and male of the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods, plus the lieutenants and guannei marquis, making a total of seven levels. Of course, depending on the size of the fiefdom, even marquises of the same level can be divided into seven levels.
Ranking of superiors and inferiors. A marquis is a noble and valuable person. For example, only those with military merit can be rewarded. The fiefdom is controlled and managed by the marquis. Theoretically speaking, even if you are a prime minister, if you have no military merit, you will not be able to live and be granted the title of marquis - death
There is a certain possibility of a posthumous title, but this kind of title is just a title, and it cannot obtain an actual fief like a marquis for military merit.
Therefore, overall, whether in terms of actual benefits or personal glory, the marquis is naturally the highest. In this way, on the one hand, the military merits are entrusted with the newly developed fields, which will help to use the reputation of the generals to continue to conquer the newly developed areas.
Suppression and stability, on the other hand, the diminishing effect of push and grace, also allowed these lands to be gradually integrated into the territory of the Han family, which was a matter of killing several birds with one stone.
This may be able to generally balance the relationship between civil and military affairs, because the paths separated by civil and military affairs are in different directions. Civilian officials can obtain real power of local management without having to fight to the death. However, civilian officials may be elected every three years, or they may not be able to do their jobs directly.
He was transferred or demoted.
Military generals must fight on the battlefield in order to enjoy glory, and such authority generally lasts for life, and is sealed wherever they conquer or quell rebellions. As long as they make no mistakes, they can still be passed down. However,
It is normal for them to die out after a few generations due to pushback.
Of course, Fei Qian's current vision may be a bit idealistic, but this is more or less a direction. At least it is better than the kind of general who fights life and death on the border, and then can only be granted the title of a small pass and then follow the emperor.
It is much better that a flattering civil servant who has done all bad things can be granted the title of Marquis.
So if you are not a military commander, you are an ordinary civil servant or an ordinary person, in your daily life, there is no possibility of obtaining a title, and you can only watch helplessly?
Not really.
Next, Fei Qian wants to continue to split the pre-Qin system of twenty-level lords, and it will be a very simple split, that is, take the two-thousand-stone level of the Han Dynasty and apply it directly.
Two thousand stones in the Han Dynasty had four grades: Zhong, Zhen, Yuan, and Bi. Yuan two thousand stones were the original two thousand stones, with Zhong 2000 and Zhen 2000 above them, and then under the two thousand stones, there were Bi 2000. So.
It is said that if this set of standards is directly applied to the 20th-level military merit title, it will be immediately expanded to the 80th-level system. Basically, it is almost enough.
People are most afraid of not having goals.
The Lordship system is open to all Han people, and everyone can strive for it, well, of course in name only. In fact, the level of birth also determines the starting position of Lordship.
Like those fake character levels in later games that can’t bring any benefit to real life, there are a lot of people who will spend their days and nights trying to make money, and then making money again, and then making money again, and so on.
Wait, if there is a direct level affiliation in reality, and even if the corresponding treatment standards are lowered, the actual living standards can be changed and improved, will there be a craze for liver removal like the former Qin Dynasty?
To achieve national enthusiasm, we must have a powerful data statistics system, and then conduct an assessment every year or every three years, and implement the last elimination system to carry out operations such as promotion and lowering, so that the Lord can move up and down.
Are you afraid that the whole people will die from being so heartless?
Therefore, vigorously promoting mathematics is still very important and an urgent task...
It can be said that the above three major title systems basically cover most of the needs of the dynasty, and whether they are kings, marquises, or lords, they all represent having certain "over-control" authority.
These are all basic, and they also involve all aspects of life. For example, the title of the former Qin Dynasty stipulates how many bowls and dishes to eat, etc. If it is broken down, for different levels, the corresponding portal buildings, carriages and horses
Clothing, even sacrificial specifications, and daily expenses all have different regulations. If you dare to exceed the level you are in, it is called "exceeding the regulations" and is a crime. Another special benefit of the title is that it can offset sins, unless it is a large-scale crime.
Unpardonable sins can be offset according to the law.
At the same time, the Lord system can in turn restrict the King and Marquis systems. After all, the people in the Lord system are the most numerous, and in a sense, the Lord groups are all distributed in the name of the country, so there is only this
Only when the country exists can the Lord System exist. Just like in future generations, those who least want the server to shut down are naturally ordinary users who are greedy and excited...
Not to mention Wang Jue, Wang Jue without real power basically eliminates the possibility of rebellion.
Most of the marquis who are able to rebel are those who have a solid bond between superiors and subordinates in the military. The reason why such factional relationships can be formed is probably because most generals in feudal dynasties have great power to reward and punish their subordinates.
As a result. And if it is not the general in charge of the army who is responsible for the registration and verification, and the decision and distribution of rewards, then can the general in charge still have the conditions to rebel?
Just like in the current Hussars Army, every soldier knows that the nameplate hanging around the neck is used to record merit. If the merit reaches a certain standard, he can go to the military merit officer to register it, and in exchange for land or money, he can obtain it without the approval of the commander.
The general in charge is more like the GM in the server. Although he controls the military law and is thunderous, he can also spawn monsters and equipment, which will give players certain benefits. However, if the data is traced and the data is censored, he may even encourage a group of players to change jobs.
Change server...
That would be haha.
Of course, the project volume of this title system is not much smaller than that of the anti-corruption project, but it is much better to have such a direction than to go in no direction at all.
As for the etiquette standards of these titles, daily living treatment, and even the details of atonement, Fei Qian could leave it to the Confucian scholars to perfect in the next step.
Aren't Confucians the best at "rituals"? So formulating and educating these "rituals" is the main responsibility of Confucianism. There is no need to worry about Confucian children doing nothing and thinking about prophecies? Such a huge stall needs to be detailed.
Once the culture is stabilized, and it is constantly supplemented and repaired and promoted, it will be enough for Confucianism to be busy.
Then from among the original gentry children, within the Confucian system, some people were eliminated, similar to Xu Yue, who were specifically responsible for auditing and accounting. In the civilian world, they audited people's livelihood, and in the army, they audited military merit. In fact, they are basically the same.
Yu assumed the responsibility of supervising the prosecution.
Finally, in addition to the fact that retired military personnel serve as local armed police, in accordance with the established "rituals" and based on the issues reviewed, they can exercise arrest, punishment and other powers to separate the law enforcement rights of local gentry and clans, then it is
Basically, a system of separation of powers under the feudal dynasty was established.
Although it is a bit idealistic, this is the decentralization system that is most suitable for the Chinese feudal dynasty that Fei Qian can think of. And if this system is really established, Fei Qian feels that it will be far better than killing men and stabbing women, or
On the contrary, it is somewhat taller.
For society as a whole, there are actually certain rules, which are fair from a certain perspective.
The biggest fear is that there are clearly rules, but someone breaks it and is not punished. This is the root of the chaos. It is like waiting in line for a bus. If someone can jump in line without being punished, will there be people queuing later? When doing good deeds
When the cost of doing evil is much higher than the cost of doing evil, will the entire society still do good?
The biggest problem in China's feudal dynasties has always been that "the law does not punish the public". If "the public" breaks the law, it is not a crime? Are there few people in all dynasties who have acted on their own selfish desires in the name of "the public"? Why is there this "
"The law does not blame the public"? It's not because the buttocks are sitting on the basis of the gentry family. These noble surnames that control places and gather the population naturally represent "the public" all the time. How can the "law" blame these
On human head?
The reason why Confucianism behaves more and more like bastards is that on the one hand, it formulates various etiquette laws, and then on the other hand, it wants to separate itself from these etiquette laws and avoid various punishments, so it keeps trying to set up some backdoors all day long.
Taking advantage of some loopholes and so on, and then hanging the signs of Confucius and other so-called saints outside the holes dug by these people to hide their shame. In the end, the national dam collapsed, and these guys fell down trees and scattered to find the next one.
Rules and following them are equally important.
In the third year of Taixing, on the fifth day of the seventh lunar month, everything was appropriate and there were no taboos. Fei Qian took the ministers to the Longshouyuan altar and began to formally worship the generals. This also represented Fei Qian's first step in promoting the title reform.
One step, quietly moving forward amidst the excitement of everyone.
The first thing to be held is naturally the worship of heaven and earth and the tribute to the emperor. The imperial power still needs to be maintained, at least in terms of face. This is not only for the emperor Liu Xie, but also related to the recognition of the entire country.
At least now, it is far easier for the general public to maintain the image of a man than to slander him.
After the ceremony of sacrificing the Son of Heaven and Earth, the war drums rumbled. The trumpeters in the army stood under the altar of general worship, raised their horns amidst the sound of the drums, and sounded together.
Sixty-four members of the Chang'an gentry family, as well as students from Shoushan Academy, stood in the square under the altar facing the wind and chanted loudly:
"Fight in the south of the city and die in the north of Guo. If you die in the wild, you will not be buried but can be eaten!"
Zhang Liao, who was in the queue in the audience, couldn't help but trembled when he heard the sound. He couldn't help but also raised his head and sang in a slightly hoarse voice: "You call me a black man, and you are a guest! I will not bury the wild dead, but the carrion will be safe."
I can escape..."
Zhao Yun looked at Zhang Liao, sighed softly, lowered his eyes slightly, his expression also changed slightly, he didn't know what he thought of.
The Han Dynasty Yuefu Battle in the south of the city has been learned by most of the gentry children, and even the soldiers in the army have learned it. At this moment, they all responded, "The sound of water is surging, the pampas grass is dark. The owl cavalry died in the battle,
The horse wanders and cries..."
For a time, the sound shook the surrounding areas, its sound was tragic and heroic, rolling like thunder.
Earlier, Fei Qian used the pre-Qin song "Same Clothes, Same Robes" as a piece to commemorate the fallen soldiers, but later someone suggested that it was inappropriate, so he finally changed it to Han Yuefu's "Battle City South".
On the square in front of the altar, the music of Zhancheng South gradually came to an end. With the last line of "attack in the morning and return at dusk", the sound of drums changed again, and then the bugle player retreated, chimes, chimes, silk bamboos, etc.
Joined in, and the sixty-four dancers also began to move forward and backward amid the music of bells and drums.
What she used today was the bo dance that Huang Yueying decided that day. Although it was a small dance, when sixty-four people danced together, especially sixteen of them held high the long boobs inlaid with gold and jade and hung with colorful silk.
When the wooden bow is waved, it sparkles in the sunlight, and it is quite colorful, eye-catching, and breathtaking.
The overall neatness is generally pretty good.
Fei Qian stood on the altar of worship, and he could clearly see it from his high position. After all, it was a temporary dancer formation formed by Liang Jiazi. In the case of short time and heavy tasks, it was considered good to have polished it to such an extent.
The gorgeousness and variety of the bo dance softened the original sadness of paying homage to the souls of the dead soldiers. When the bo dance ended, with the bells and drums roaring again, people up and down the altar shouted out the three lines of the founding emperor of the Han Dynasty.
The famous words and seals represent the official opening of the conferment ceremony!
"The strong wind is blowing and the clouds are flying. The powerful warriors are returning to their hometown in the sea. The warriors are here to guard the four directions!"
Although this poem only has three short sentences, under the refrain repeated three times, accompanied by the powerful bells and drums, the majestic momentum rises to the sky, shocking all directions...
