Chapter 1889: Making imperial edicts and worshiping generals, dividing Shaanxi and governing it
Longshouyuan.
The sky is clear and blue.
On the altar of worship, the flags are fluttering.
"Zhao Yun and Zhao Zilong, come forward and listen to the seal!"
The official's loud voice was still clear and bright even amid the sound of bells and drums.
Amidst the rumbling drums, Zhao Yun stepped out of the procession, raised his head and held his chest high, and stepped up to the altar to worship the generals step by step.
This moment is his glory.
The war drums vibrate, and the sound is like the excitement of blood; the trumpets are melodious, and the sound is like yellow sand hitting the face!
Zhao Yun's face remained calm all the way up, but his heart was unavoidably surging. After all, he was the first among the generals to receive a reward. This also shows that Hussar has successfully transformed from a Black Mountain bandit to a
The first general under the tricolor flag.
Fei Qian chose Zhao Yun as the first in the ranking. In addition to Zhao Yun's outstanding military exploits, another very important reason is that Zhao Yun is calm, so calm that he does not seem to be a person of his age.
Of course, Zhao Yun is not completely without faults. According to Fei Qian's careful observation, Zhao Yun's biggest problem is that he is a firm royalist through and through. This makes Fei Qian a little strange. After all, it was the Emperor of Han who abandoned Changshan and other borders.
, it was also the fatuous court of the Han Dynasty that made these people desperate and turned into Black Mountain bandits. And under such circumstances, Zhao Yun still has a red heart, and even has a more determined intention to respect the emperor than Lu Bu. This is really interesting.
.
Historically, Zhao Yun voted for Liu Bei, which may not mean this...
In Mr. Luo's book, in order to set off Liu Bei, many people naturally became rebellious officials and traitors, but in fact some people are not as unworthy as described in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. For example, Yuan Shu and Lu Bu. Although Yuan Shu also had a bad reputation in the end, Lu Bu
Later, under Chen Gui's persuasion, he also severed the marriage alliance with the arrogant Yuan Shu. It can be seen that Lu Bu still supported the attitude towards the Han Dynasty. Moreover, Lu Bu's supportive attitude was well known at the time, so Sun Quan later
Only during the Battle of Chibi did he say: "The old traitor has wanted to destroy the Han Dynasty and establish itself on its own for a long time, but he only fears Yuan, Lu Bu, Liu Biao and Gu'er."
This sentence is very interesting.
Although the meaning of Sun Quan's words was not to praise Lu Bu, but to mark himself, it also showed that if Yuan Shu had really proclaimed himself emperor at that time, and Lu Bu had been known as a traitor before, then the face-loving Sun Quan would not
Putting both Yuan Shu and Lu Bu in front of him.
Therefore, in Sun Quan's eyes, Yuan Shu and Lu Bu were at least not recognized as rebellious ministers. At most, they were just like Liu Biao, some arrogant opportunists. And in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, were there still few arrogant people? Which prince did not arrogant? From this point on
Judging from one point of view, either Chen Shou was negligent when writing the Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms and sent it to Wu Shu, or Chen Shou deliberately left a back door...
Of course, as a royalist, seeing Liu Xie so useless, especially this time Zhao Yun saw Liu Xie's hesitation and weakness with his own eyes, must have been a small blow to Zhao Yun.
"The most important task of the country is to honor and honor the people. To divide the Shaanxi provinces and govern them, to be honest and virtuous. Zhao Yun and Zhao Zilong of Changshan are wise, brave and courageous. They personally lead the elites and drive them to the north of Yin. They kill the generals and seize the flag. They keep the Qing Dynasty and the quiet country. They are loyal, filial and sensitive. They drive the Beiting for a long time.
, His merits lie in the country, and his qualifications are solid. Today, by order of the emperor, I issue an imperial edict, pay homage to General Pingbei, be granted the title of Marquis of Quyangting, with two hundred people, and be consigned to the pass, to lead the military in Yinshan Mountain, Youbei! This edict!"
Zhao Yun came forward and prostrated, took the edict with both hands, then kowtowed, stood up, faced the altar of worship, raised the edict with both hands high, and suddenly the sound of clocks, drums, silk and bamboo was played, and a congratulatory song was played, while the surrounding areas watched the ceremony.
The soldiers and civilians shouted together, and the three times fell.
Zhao Yun turned around and paid homage to Fei Qian again. Fei Qian nodded, then took a purple and white ribbon from the gold-patterned red paint tray, hung it on Zhao Yun's waist himself, and then awarded him the gold seal.
Zhao Yun turned around again, accepted the congratulations of the soldiers and civilians, then bowed to Fei Qian three times, and then slowly descended from the east passage to the second floor of the General Worship Altar, waiting for the end of the parade on Kua Street.
The second person to stand on the altar to worship the generals was Taishi Ci who came back from Hangu.
Taishi Ci was relatively close, and those who were far away and could not make it back naturally had no way to accept Fei Qian's conferral on the spot in person. They could only wait for Fei Qian to send people to convey it separately.
"He is an official with great virtue, a reward for his merits, he is broad-minded and benevolent, and he is upright and upright. Ziyi, the Taishi Ci of Donglai, is brave and powerful. He is the first to praise the wonderful strategy. He personally leads Feizi, rushes into the distance, clears the Sophora Road, and is powerful.
Zhenxiao Xiao, loyal to the king, suppressing police patrols, and appeasing Heluo. Today, under the order of the emperor, he issued an imperial edict, paid homage to the general who guarded the town, was granted the title of Marquis of Yuting, with a city of 150, and was consigned to the pass, and led the army of Hongnongsizhou.
!This edict!』
Taishi Ci also received a purple and white ribbon and a golden turtle-button seal.
"Resisting insults and attacking, nurturing the western soil with virtue, guarding the army from cutting, guarding the Jian and leaving behind. Yanmen, Zhang Liao, Zhang Wenyuan, loyalty, filial piety and restraint, strategy and strategy, foresight in Xicheng, suppressing Tibetan and Tibet, divining and educating the army, recording outstanding achievements, and military exploits
It is obvious that it is announced internally and externally. Today, according to the order of the emperor, an imperial edict is issued to pay homage to the general who conquered the captives. He was granted the title of Marquis of Ting, the capital of the West, with a city of 150. He was consigned to the pass and led the military of Hanzhong and Longnan! This edict! 』
Zhang Liao stepped forward and received the golden seal with purple ribbon.
Lu Bu was originally called Marquis of Wen, but now he was changed to Marquis of Jiuyuan County, and was called General Anxi. He was appointed Protector of the Western Regions, and was also awarded the purple ribbon and gold seal.
Xu Huang and Wei Yan were commanding troops outside and could not be present in person, so they just read out the edict and awarded them the title of General of Zhenjun and General of Conquest of Shu, with green ribbons and gold seals, and were stationed in Guanzhong and Sichuan Shu respectively.
In addition, Huang Cheng, Ma Yan, Ma Yue, Zhang Ji, Zhang Xiu, Jiang Ji, Xu Ding, Meng Shu, Li Dian, Zhu Ling, Zhang Lie and others were awarded the title of Backbone General, Huya General, Guerrilla General, and Xiaoqi General respectively.
, as well as the positions of Tunqi Xiaowei, Yueqi Xiaowei, Infantry Xiaowei, Changshui Xiaowei, Shesheng Xiaowei, Pinglu Xiaowei and other positions. Although the above captains are called school captains, they are actually roughly equivalent to
He is a fourth-grade general, so it is not considered bad.
As for Ling Jie, Liao Hua, Xu Yu, Wang Zhong, Liu Xiong, etc., there are no new merits for the time being, so they have been slightly raised, from unknown captains to captains, to miscellaneous names, which is roughly equivalent to
They were raised half a level. Ling Jie was appointed as the Colonel of Jianzhong, and Zhang Chen was also posthumously granted the title. Gong Jun was appointed as the Colonel of Jianyi and the Colonel of Defeating Kou. As for Liao Hua, he was appointed as the Colonel of the Guards, and he was also given the title of Fei Qian.
A little preference for this famous long-distance running general from the Three Kingdoms.
Huang Xu was the captain of Dingwei, and Xu Chu was newly arrived and ranked behind Wei Du. They also added a miscellaneous name of Wuwei and Wuwei Duwei respectively. As the leader of Fei Qian's guard, they maintained the security around Fei Qian.
Since they are called worshiping generals, Pang Tong and his like are basically temporary spectators. Even if they are half-military generals like Xu Shu, since they are serving as civilian officials, they can at most be called "prime ministers".
”, and cannot be called “general”.
At the same time, the four-party garrison cannot be short of important generals for a long time, so the title of general cannot be delayed. As for the civil servants...
The arrangements and promotions of Pang Tong and others were not carried out at the general altar, but on the tenth day of the twelfth lunar month at the general's mansion.
Zhao Yun and others, under the protection of soldiers, galloped across Chang'an and circled the city to receive praises. Such a large-scale reward has far-reaching significance. In addition to the system of military merit and titles mentioned before, it also made Fei Qian's current nobles
Common people understand that under the three-color flag, there is such a powerful military commander team that can protect peace and stability. At the same time, Fei Qian also took this opportunity to build defensive theaters in the four directions of east, west, south, and north, delineating a regional defense system and breaking through
The original limitations of counties and counties in the Han Dynasty were eliminated, similar to the Jiedushi envoys in the Tang Dynasty, except that people's livelihood and government affairs were still under the management of county magistrates. This is particularly important.
According to the laws of the Han Dynasty, troops from prefectures and counties cannot be mobilized across prefectures and counties. When Sun Jian was the governor of Changsha, after defeating Ou Xing, the Zhou Dynasty, Guo Shi and others caused chaos in Lingling and Guiyang.
Sun Jian crossed the county boundary, went to conquer, and was finally pacified. Although Sun Jian may not have been entirely public-minded at the time, he crossed the county line to conquer, and even though he had merit, he was impeached.
Now that the regional defense system is established, the concept of boundaries between counties and counties will become blurred and more flexible. Fei Qian can increase or decrease the jurisdiction of military regions as needed to respond to new needs, and it can also regulate military power and civil affairs.
The complete separation further reduces the authority of the local governors. At the same time, it is also possible to easily check and balance the authority of the generals by adjusting the size of the military region, or simply rotate the duties, changing them every five years, etc., which can effectively curb military factions.
flood……
Of course, everything depends on the establishment and maintenance of the system, and the operation of the system is compliant and effective. Most of the time, it is easier to destroy than to build. Even the most perfect system will sometimes be broken.
After Fei Qian's generation, it is hard to say whether under the sabotage and manipulation of some people, Fei Qian's measures that seem good at the moment will turn into bad policies. After all, human beings have an innate self-destruction factor.
There are still a lot of them, which makes even some people want to curse and vent their anger at every turn, not to mention when interests are really involved?
The enthusiastic people cheered for the glory of Zhao Yun and others. They cheered and were extremely excited when they saw the army marching like Lin Ruyue. However, among the nobles, not all of them were willing to eat windy sand, drink rain and snow, walk in life and death, and fight.
Jiuhuang's, perhaps because they feel that their frail body is not suitable for fighting, or perhaps because they feel that they are born with intelligent talents, and wielding knives and guns is too low-level, so these people are more interested in Zhao Yun and others
Those things that people display after they are canonized...
"Tsk, tsk, divide Shaanxi and rule it..."
Some people began to wink and make various noises tacitly.
Others who had not read this allusion, or who had not yet remembered it, seemed a little embarrassed and agreed, and then encouraged those who had already understood it to explain it.
"This is an allusion to the king of Zhou..."
"King Wu of Zhou died of fatigue, and King Cheng of Zhou was young and ignorant, so he was assisted by Zhou Gongdan and Zhao Gongshi..."
The destruction of the Shang Dynasty in the Western Zhou Dynasty was not accomplished overnight. Although the two generations of King Wen and King Wu of Zhou finally completed the great cause of destroying the Shang Dynasty, King Wu Jifa of Zhou Dynasty was not able to enjoy the destiny for a long time. Soon after the establishment of the Western Zhou Dynasty, perhaps due to excessive
Due to fatigue or neglect, he died quickly, without even having time to make arrangements for his death.
Although King Cheng, the son of King Wu of Zhou, was promoted to the throne at that time, King Cheng was young and could not govern. Therefore, a vacuum of royal power was formed in the Western Zhou Dynasty at that time, and the state of the Western Zhou Dynasty was in turmoil.
At that time, Zhou Gongdan, as the younger brother of King Wu of Zhou Jifa, decided to take charge of the emperor's government in order to assist the young King Cheng of Zhou and maintain the continuation of the Zhou Dynasty. However, Zhou Gongdan's actions were opposed by many people.
Not only were there objections from distant princes, but even the clan members within the Zhou Dynasty had doubts about his ability to carry out the emperor's administration. Among them, the biggest resistance came from Zhao Gongsi, who had the same status.
Later Zhou Gongdan persuaded Zhao Gongshi, and the two divided the land of the Zhou Dynasty into two parts. They chiseled a three-and-a-half-meter-high stone pillar and planted it at the dividing point, which was called "the pillar as the boundary". According to the historical book "Zuo Zhuan·Yin"
It is recorded in the fifth year of Gong Dynasty: "Those who come from Shaanxi to the east are the princesses of Zhou; those who come from Shaanxi to the west are called the princesses." From this, the two people managed the state affairs of the Zhou Dynasty separately. After the dangerous period of King Cheng of Zhou, there was
This led to the later "Chengkang Reign".
Of course, Fei Qian is definitely not wrong when used in his comments about Zhao Yun. After all, the word "divide Shaanxi and rule" itself also means cutting off a part of the area and appointing talented people to manage it, and Zhao Yun's control of Yinshan Youbei also means
It fits this situation, but the question is, what if this is not just for Zhao Yun, but has another meaning?
Nowadays, Shandong and Shanxi, plus Fei Qian’s Xijing Shangshu Desk, is now in his hands. Isn’t this the reappearance of the time when King Zhou Cheng was too young to govern, and then he set up pillars as boundaries to divide the east and west?
Then someone suddenly realized, "In the east, Zhou Gong once suppressed the rebellion of the remnants, and in the west, after the death of Duke Zhao, he encouraged farming and mulberry trees, and that is why Gantang's words... So, Qiaoqi now wants to imitate Duke Zhao?"
A group of people looked at each other and felt that it was very possible. After all, there was still a rebellion in the east, and Cao Cao still had several opponents. However, Fei Qiang was in the west. The surrounding areas were almost leveled, so he could develop well.
Nongsang.
"That's why there is a saying that "virtue will lead to officials, merit will be rewarded"..." Suddenly someone said, "The Qiaoqi's thinking is indeed ingenious... First there is "dividing Shaanxi", and then there is "maomao".
”, Tsk tsk, it’s really wonderful, wonderful...” The so-called “virtue is rewarded by official, merit is rewarded”, which comes from “Shang Shu Zhong Hui’s Edict”. To put it simply, those with high virtues will be awarded high officials, and those with great merit will be awarded.
He gave generous rewards.
"Zhong Hui's edict, this is Zhong Hui's edict! Ah, ha, this is an ancient document..."
"Hey, it's true to say so! The knights are tired of the complexity of modern texts, and it has been difficult to distinguish the prophecy and weft for a long time. "Fan Shaanxi" refers to the official affairs of Zhou Dynasty, which is ancient. There is also "Zhe Chong", which is also a elegant poem, all based on ancient texts.
! Alas, is it possible that this article is of no use? 』
"The current article is complicated and contains many contradictions. Qinglong Temple has a theory, and it is true. Ancient articles and modern articles only seek truth and truth..."
Immediately the building began to tilt, and the discussion shifted from military commanders' edicts to modern and ancient texts, and then further and further away.
Ordinary people generally just talk about it, and even if they really say something, they may not take it seriously. However, the news spread to Cao Cao in Xu County a few days later. When these edicts were issued,
When it was placed on the table, Cao Cao couldn't help but feel emotional in his heart, which was hard to express for a while.
In particular, the four words "divide Shaanxi and rule" simply penetrated into Cao Cao's heart. He felt that the ink was as dark as blood, and even the turns of the strokes were extremely sharp, which made his brain hurt and his heart feel depressed.
Although most people believe that the separation of Zhou Gongdan and Zhao Gongshi laid the foundation for the rule of Chengkang, Cao Cao knew that in fact, the relationship between Zhou Gongdan, Zhao Gongshi, and King Cheng of Zhou was
It may not be as harmonious and beautiful as Confucianism preaches...
Among the "dividing Shaanxi and governing", it was Zhao Gongxi who gained fame, while Zhou Gongdan was somewhat like a mute eating Coptis chinensis.
The Battle of Muye only defeated the central power of the Shang Dynasty. The local nobles may not completely submit to the Zhou Dynasty. King Wu of Zhou was short of Zuo and the young master was on the throne, and the government and the opposition were unstable. As early as the period of King Wu, Zhou Gongdan participated in the war as an important member of the royal family.
All aspects of Zhou's political power construction. Zhou Gongdan had considerable political ability and accumulated considerable political experience, so it seemed logical that Zhou Gongdan would be regent. However, the problem was that King Wu of Zhou did not appoint him as regent.
This is very interesting.
King Zhou Wen had five children, including the eldest son Boyikao, the second son Wu Wangfa, the third son Guan Shuxian, the fourth son Zhou Gongdan, and the fifth son Cai Shudu. Boyikao was made into human flesh soup by King Zhou, and King Wen of Zhou ate it
He also pretended not to know and praised its deliciousness, so that King Zhou could feel relieved and said, "Who is called the sage of Xibo? You don't even know how to eat his son's soup." Finally, King Wen of Zhou was let go.
So when King Wu of Zhou died, Guan Shuxian and Cai Shudu were away fighting to subdue the princes. Therefore, among King Wu's direct brothers, Zhou Gongdan was the eldest and was in the court.
It is recorded in the historical records, "When King Cheng was young, the world was established at the beginning of the Zhou Dynasty. Duke Zhou was afraid that the princes would rebel against Zhou, so he took charge of the country as regent." This means that King Cheng was the legal and designated successor of King Wu, and Duke Zhou's regency was not due to King Wu's death.
The arrangement, at least, was not a formal appointment, nor was it based on the recommendation of everyone in the Zhou royal family, but based on Duke Zhou's own decision.
"Historical Records: Lu Family" records that Duke Zhou "practiced Zuo to become the king and regent to govern the country". The "Book of Rites" even bluntly stated that "Gong Zhou practiced the position of emperor to rule the world", which is also found in many places such as "Da Gao"
The Duke of Zhou proclaimed himself king and issued orders in the name of "King's Order". It can be seen that what the Duke of Zhou did was not only act as regent, but also probably directly kicked King Zhou Cheng aside and proclaimed himself king.
Then came the "Rebellion of the Three Supervisors". The Rebellion of the Three Supervisors was actually caused by Guan Shuxian and Cai Shudu being dissatisfied with Zhou Gongdan's rule. Therefore, the Rebellion of the Three Supervisors was in the nature of fighting for the throne, and in order to be able to spare their hands to deal with Guan Shuxian
With Cai Shudu, Zhou Gongdan had no choice but to make an agreement with Zhao Gongxi to "divide Shaanxi and rule it". It is impossible to test what the specific agreement was, but one thing is certain, Zhou Gongdan promised to return the power to King Zhou Cheng in the future.
, so Zhao Gongshi was willing to be Zhou Gongdan's back-up, managing the crops and mulberry trees to support his battles.
The age of King Zhou Cheng, probably in his teens, is similar to that of Liu Xie when Cao Cao became Sikong and started regent. Therefore, if "divide Shaanxi and rule" is applied to the present, what is the actual intention?
What, it is very clear. Cao Cao can even imagine that in Chang'an now, Fei Qian showed a calm and slightly sarcastic face through these few points of imperial edict...
Zhou Gongdan wanted to become the king, but he could not break away from the confinement of the Zhou Dynasty, and he had to conquer all directions in the name of the Zhou Dynasty. As a result, after seven years of hard planning and management, he finally had to return power to King Zhou Cheng. So what about Cao Cao?
After being silent for a long time, Cao Cao finally stood up by slamming the table and shouted for wine. Then he stood in the corridor under the hall and raised the wine cup in the wind. "Having such a rival will bring happiness to life! Let's do it and see who will do it."
Zhou Zhao?!』
After sighing for a few times, Cao Cao suddenly thought of something. He turned around and stared at the copied Feiqian Orders on the desk. Then a smile spread out, and he immediately burst into laughter, even to the point of tears.
