Chapter 1892 Descendants of the Wang family, Marquis Anleting
In terms of ennoblement, the Han Dynasty inherited the Qin system, but slightly developed it.
In the early years of the Western Han Dynasty, the Qin Dynasty's twenty-level nobility was used, and the additional title of king was added. Those who were awarded the title of king were all meritorious ministers who fought alongside Liu Bang. However, as the saying goes, these kings with different surnames are just like the saying goes.
In the end, most of them were exterminated. The so-called hereditary neglect is just a beautiful lie.
After that, the Han Dynasty established a rule that people with different surnames could not be crowned kings. The title of king was only available to the Liu family. Just when the king with the same surname began to feel that this situation was stable, he began to deal with the king with the same surname again...
It can be seen from this that as long as it reaches the level of breaking the earth and conferring a king, it basically becomes a thorn in the emperor's flesh, and he will always feel unhappy if he does not pull it out cleanly.
During the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, in order to raise war expenses, he ordered the sale of 20-level nobility, which caused the 20-level nobility in the pre-Qin period to be underestimated.
Emperor Guangwu revitalized the Han Dynasty and granted more than 360 princes titles. For a time, the country was full of princes. But now, these once glorious princes have basically disappeared into thin air and disappeared without a trace.
There is a saying that if a person is not in the arena, there will still be legends about that person in the arena. The same is true for high-ranking titles such as Lieutenants. Although there are basically few Lieutenants nowadays, in the eyes of noble families, Lieutenant Guanneihou is still
It is a glorious pinnacle of life.
Anletinghou.
Although it is the smallest among the princes and is a small county town in Yuyang County, for the descendants of the Wang family in Taiyuan, it is basically equivalent to a virtual grant, and there is no actual seal of the city at all. Naturally, it is
There is no such thing as belonging to a country, but the actual benefits generated are still considerable.
A superior title not only represents the ability to meet officials without worshiping, but also represents extraordinary benefits in salary and tax service. It is precisely because of this that, just like Fan Jin in later generations, the descendants of the Wang family in Taiyuan returned to the imperial examination.
The news of the title spread, and the Wang family's mansion in Taiyuan became popular again.
The people who originally abandoned Wang Yun's group and ran to join Wang Ling's group hurriedly came forward with shy faces, showing their attentiveness and strength, even the one who had walked away before.
The messenger also hurriedly sent some more people to help clean up the dilapidated debris in the Wang family's mansion, and it was considered a good sale.
Different from the lively scene near the Wang family's residence, when welcoming the so-called angel, Cui Jun, the prefect of Taiyuan, was also a little confused for a while.
The one with the name of angel is Guo Jia.
If we go by appearance alone, Guo Jia can be regarded as a talented person. As long as he is not drunk, he does look very handsome and has the spirit of being a worldly person. According to the standards of later generations, he is simply a middle-class person.
A handsome man who can be both attacked and received is definitely a rotten girl's favorite.
Guo Jia was also helpless. When Fei Qian came over with a bit of a bad smile, Guo Jia knew that the situation was not good, but after all, his arms could not twist his thighs. As soon as his eyes closed and his legs opened, he would get on the horse.
, staggered and transformed into the so-called court angel, and came to Taiyuan to read out the edict of knighthood for the descendants of the Wang family.
This edict of knighthood was written by Liu Xie.
Liu Xie had some impressions of Wang Yun, but he had no impression of Wang Yun's descendants at all, nor could he say he had any fondness for the descendants of the Wang family. The reason why he was awarded this title was because of Fei Qian
proposed.
Cao Cao thought that Wang Yun's descendant, Wang Ying, was a great talent, so Fei Qian made a solemn request. In line with the principle that making Fei Qian uncomfortable would make him comfortable. Although Cao Cao was forced by the situation and could not refuse, he still could
With one stroke, Wang Ying's fiefdom was extended to Yuyang, and he wanted to use the emperor's edict to win over people's hearts. Hum...
Cao Cao's move can be regarded as officially opening the curtain of "virtual seal".
During the Qin and Han Dynasties, the prefectures and counties under the governor's jurisdiction were all real territories, that is, real political districts. Similarly, the kingdoms divided by the princes and kings in the Han Dynasty were also real territories.
However, the current Marquis of Anleting can be regarded as the first of its kind to have a false title.
There were things that existed before the distant leader, for example, various princes gave their subordinates the title of governor, governor, governor, state animal husbandry, etc., which neither belonged to their own territory nor had the ability to conquer it, so it was just a gimmick. Is it a false title? According to historical development
, it should be later, until the Three Kingdoms are formally formed. Although the three kingdoms of Wei, Shu, and Wu can only occupy one side, each side hopes to own the entire world. When this wish has not yet or cannot become a reality, they will
Use the false seal to meet the needs of yourself and your subordinates.
Remote leadership and false titles are not only for the sake of fame and bluff, but also for political purposes.
Historically, when Wu and Shu were still in the honeymoon period of their alliance, for political needs, in addition to other agreed conditions, they divided the land of Wei State first, and each "occupied" half of it.
At that time, Wei owned nine states, so Wu and Shu each "occupied" four of them in their minds, and then each took half of the Sizhou, showing the principle of fairness.
Later, Wu and Shu went on a rampage to claim false titles, but they were also limited to the areas they "occupied". Shu had Zhang Yi, the governor of Jizhou, Deng Zhi, the governor of Yanzhou, Liao Hua, the governor of Bingzhou, Jiang Wei, the governor of Liangzhou; Wu had Zhu Huan, the governor of Qingzhou
, Yuzhou Mu Zhugejin, Xuzhou Mu Quanqiong, Youzhou Mu Sunshao, etc.
No matter whether we win or not in the end, we must first overwhelm Wei in terms of momentum!
Cao Cao's move is probably like this. No matter whether he wins or not, he is the first to be disgusted. If Wang Ying really comes to Yuyang to receive the real title, Cao Cao is not afraid, because in that case, it will be equivalent to Wang Ying falling into Cao Cao's hands.
Already...
However, what Cao Cao never expected was that Fei Qian was not interested in Wang Ying at all, and the purpose was not all for the so-called commendation of loyalty, but mainly for other purposes.
Although Guo Jia was dissatisfied with being kicked by Fei Qian and sent to Taiyuan, deviating from Chang'an and Yangyang, which he most wanted to visit first, Guo Jia originally had the intention of looking around and observing, but it was not the same when he arrived in Taiyuan.
Just take a look, so it’s nothing, and I’m not too depressed. It’s just that after meeting Cui Jun, the governor of Taiyuan, and when Cui Jun saw the edict and had an unusual look on his face, Guo Jia felt something was wrong.
"Cui Shijun, what's wrong?" Guo Jia looked at Cui Jun, and then looked at the edict in Cui Jun's hand. It shouldn't be the case. Guo Jia has also seen this edict, and there is nothing wrong with the wording and sentences.
, it’s just a very common and normal edict.
Cui Jun hummed, then smiled and said: "There's nothing wrong with this..."
Well, Choi Kyun is lying.
Guo Jia judged it immediately, but knew that Cui Jun's lies were useless. Guo Jia didn't know why Cui Jun lied...
"The angel is tired from the journey, so I have prepared some wine and washed the angel's dust... I will choose an auspicious time tomorrow to declare the emperor's kindness..." Cui Jun returned the edict to Guo Jia, and then arranged for Guo Jia to stay and rest.
Although Guo Jia has doubts in his heart, it is obvious that Cui Jun will not say anything, and Guo Jia is surrounded by guards sent by Fei Qian, so it is impossible for him to communicate with the outside world, so he can only suppress the problems in his heart, haha
He smiled and pretended to be fine.
Let's say that after Cui Jun entertained Guo Jia, he went back to his government office and pondered for a long time, but still couldn't figure it out. When he was frowning, he suddenly heard the report from his subordinates, saying "Jia Shijun is here", and he quickly stood up.
, go out to greet you.
Shangdang and Taiyuan are not far apart. Jia Qu heard the news that Guo Jia went to Taiyuan to read the edict and rushed over from Shangdang.
Cui Jun and Jia Qu have not had any conflicts in their cooperation during this period, and they are relatively harmonious, so the relationship is naturally good. After meeting and greeting for a while, Cui Jun welcomed Jia Qu into the hall and sat down separately, while he asked people to go and prepare some food and drinks.
, while saying: "Dear brother, are you here for the angel's edict?"
There is nothing taboo about this, so Jia Qu responded simply.
After all, under Fei Qian's rule, this was the first in the series of civil servants to be personally named Tinghou by the Emperor of the Han Dynasty!
Fei Qian's own route is a bit weird. Could it be that he is a military general? His three-legged cat skills could be said to be a civil servant, but he is also a hussar, so he will be excluded and will not be commented on.
Wang Yun, on the other hand, is a proper civil servant series. So although this edict was given to Wang Yun, in the eyes of Cui Jun, Jia Qu and others, this is undoubtedly a good start. How can they turn a blind eye?
"My dear brother, I don't know..." Cui Jun pondered for a moment and decided to discuss it with Jia Qu. After all, Jia Qu and Guo Jia's buttocks are different. Well, the places where their buttocks sit are different.
Cui Jun slowly stroked his beard, as if to calm down the turbulent doubts in his heart, and then said: "The emperor's edict is to grant the title to the descendant of the Wang family, Yingye..."
Jia Qu was not completely ignorant of the situation in Taiyuan. He knew a little bit about it. Hearing Cui Junzhi's words, he couldn't help being slightly startled, "This..."
The two people looked at each other and swallowed almost the same questions together, "Isn't the Qiusi making a mistake?"
Wang Ying is not a man, but a woman.
It is not that there were no female nobility titles in the Han Dynasty, but most of them belonged to royal princesses. The princess's fiefdom was generally called Shiyi or Tangmuyi. As the name suggests, Shiyi is a place for the princess to eat, and Tangmuyi is a place for the princess to bathe and dress up.
According to the system of the Han Dynasty, which county was granted to a princess, the taxes paid by the people in that county to the country on time were the salary enjoyed by the princess.
Although it is not uncommon for princesses to have honors and favors, it is not uncommon for them to even be granted the title of Marquis of Ten Thousand Households. However, the titles of most princesses cannot be inherited and cannot be passed on to future generations. Even if the princess marries a consort, she cannot leave it to her own children.
In other words, in the current Han Dynasty, women did not have the right to inherit titles, but only the right to inherit inheritance.
"How about a favor?" Jia Qu hesitated for a moment and said.
There is no need to think about disobeying an order. It is impossible to disobey an order in this life, especially when the edict was issued twice in the name of the emperor and the hussar. At this point, he jumped up and said that the edict was wrong. Could it be
Do you want to show that you feel that you are right and that both the emperor and Qiaoqi are wrong?
So what Jia Qu meant was, just like giving a title to a princess, it would be a title of "ennoblement", which is the kind of title that cannot be passed down to future generations.
Cui Jun smiled slightly, shook his head and said: "But the Wang family... is not Wang Jue..."
After hearing this, Jia Qu couldn't help but sigh and had a headache.
To be honest, if the Taiyuan Wang family were relatives of the emperor, this would be easy to handle. However, the problem is that the Taiyuan Wang family and the emperor's nobles cannot go together. Forcibly making arrangements according to the so-called "grace" is inconsistent with etiquette...
…
Cui Jun couldn't help but sigh again and said: "It would be easier if the edict did not specify that it was just to reward the descendants of the Wang family, but it specified that Wang Situ's second son, Chen, was named "Ying"..."
If the edict is not written clearly, there will naturally be room for manipulation. If one is adopted from a collateral line, it will be done. But the problem is that it is specified to whom. If any further operations are carried out, it would be disobedience to the order at best.
If it's serious, it means disobeying the holy will!
For a moment, Cui Jun thought about simply letting Wang Ying wear male clothes and treat it as a male inheritance edict. But then he thought about it, and it was not very reliable. After all, he could hide it for a while but not for a lifetime.
Jia Qu pondered for a long time and said: "In that case, I will follow the imperial edict... If there are any changes, it will not be beautiful..."
Cui Jun was also silent, and finally nodded slowly.
At this moment, Cui Jun and Jia Qu are as if their performance last year was only 10 million, but as soon as the target set this year is opened, they have become the middle management of the company of 100 million.
Since a leader is a leader, how can he be wrong?
If the leader is really wrong, please refer to the first point.
Therefore, the most important quality of subordinates is naturally the "execution ability" that many leaders have specially emphasized throughout the ages. As for whether the goal is wrong or whether there is any discrepancy in the amount, the leader does not care. The important thing is to execute it first... just wait for the execution.
After that, if something really goes wrong, then it is no longer the leader’s problem, but if there is a problem during execution, it is still not the leader’s problem...
Anyway, it was not him who read the edict this time, but Guo Jia.
The next day, Guo Jia held the edict, surrounded by attendants and guards, raised the flag high, and the soldiers cleared the way on both sides, walking along the central street to the market square of the Wang family's residence.
Taiyuan City, like most cities in the Han Dynasty, was rich in the north and poor in the south, rich in the east and poor in the west.
Originally, the Wang family's residence was located in the north of Taiyuan City, but...
Guo Jia was in the queue, turned to the right, passed through the market gate, and after walking for a while, he felt something was wrong. It seemed that the street was half cold and half sunny. After looking closely, he sighed slightly.
.
When Wang Yun was alive, the Wang family's mansion was naturally well taken care of by servants. After almost all the old and young in Wang Yun's house died, although such a piece of land was still there, no one took care of it.
Some people have tidied it up, but it was just cleaning the main entrance and courtyard. Therefore, the walls around the Wang family's residence and the corners are overgrown with weeds, and many are collapsed and in disrepair. Comparing the two sides of the street, naturally
It feels like a deserted village on one side and the human world on the other.
The arrival of Guo Jia and his entourage attracted a lot of people inside and outside the village to gather and watch, and there were even lively young people who chased and screamed strangely. The soldiers in the surrounding Qingdao were also indifferent. As long as they did not collide with the angels' procession, they were just applauding.
When the procession arrived at the archway near the main entrance of Wang's residence, there was already a group of armored soldiers separated on the left and right. Seeing the angel approaching, the leader of the group hurriedly came forward to pay homage.
Cui Jun gave a slight signal, and then the group dismounted their horses at the archway and moved forward slowly.
Although there was no time to clean up the previous section of the road, the short section from the archway to Wang's residence has been generally tidied up. Weeds, fallen leaves, moss, etc. have all been swept away, and the gates and eaves have been repainted. As for those that have already been
All the rusty and slag parts have been replaced, and the shiny new metal is eye-catching.
What does it mean to reach the sky and shine on the lintel?
Right now!
Fang took the few remaining people from the Wang family's residence, as well as those who had arrived nearby since midnight yesterday. They claimed that they were members of Wang Yun's group, so they had to welcome the angel's "loyal and never-ending" together.
Those who would not give up all bowed down behind the incense table.
Guo Jia's thoughts were actually not entirely focused on the so-called reading of edicts. After all, reading out edicts was so inconspicuous that even a Huangmen eunuch who knew a few words could do it. Guo Jia paid more attention to it.
What's more, why did Fei Qian ask him to make such a trip? What's the meaning behind it?
When he arrived in front of the Wang family's residence, Guo Jia saw the decaying walls and the obviously renovated main entrance courtyard. Comparing the two, he suddenly felt a little enlightened.
Although Wang Yun was not perfect in his governance, he still did his best for the Han Dynasty and tried to bring the Han Dynasty back to "normality", just like Cao Cao seems to be doing the same at the moment.
Liu Xie felt sad for Wang Yun's death for a while, and seemed to have deep emotions, but in fact he may not have time to care about it, or he may simply forget about Wang Yun's descendants...
Wang Situ, Cao Sikong.
Does Fei Qian want to say that Cao Sikong is just like Wang Situ? Don't look at the situation before, the situation is still changing, good and bad are uncertain? Is he saying that Cao Sikong is just like Wang Situ?
During your lifetime, you conquered thousands of hectares of fields, but after your death, everyone and the land will be lost?
Guo Jia couldn't help but look back at the desolate road before, and then looked back at Wang's widow who still looked old and frail even though she had put on new clothes. She sighed slightly and went up.
The edict was unfolded in front of him: "The Wang family of Taiyuan, the heir of Prince Wang Yun, Situ of the Han Dynasty, and the legacy of Wang Zhongming, the servant of Wang Chen, the descendants of the Wang family are outstanding, come forward to listen to the title!"
I saw a frail young man walking out from Fang's side and prostrated himself behind the incense table.
Guo Jia couldn't help but be stunned!
Although the male and female characteristics of young people around ten years old are not so obvious in appearance. After all, both men and women in the Han Dynasty had long hair, the clothes on this body are obvious.
When Guo Jia saw it, she was clearly wearing a skirt!
This, this Wang Ying, is actually a woman!
What to do?
Even though Guo Jia was smart, he never expected to encounter such a situation, and immediately glared at Cui Jun and Jia Qu.
Cui Jun closed his eyes slightly and stood aside respectfully as if he was indifferent to the world. Jia Qu raised his hand slightly and gestured towards Guo Jia, continue reading, what are you waiting for?
Guo Jia couldn't help but feel messy in the wind. How on earth is this so fat!
