The first thousand one hundred and seventy-ninth chapters
"I respectfully welcome Your Majesty..."
Amidst the respectful greetings, Liu Che, surrounded by his attendants and warriors, climbed up the stairs and sat on the throne of the Emperor.
"Your Majesty may live forever!"
Prime Minister Zhou Yafu headed the ceremony and led hundreds of civil and military officials to pay homage.
Liu Che sat on the throne, opened his hands, rolled up his long sleeves, and said: "Your Majesty, please excuse me and stay on your feet!" Then he told the ministers in the palace: "I will give you a seat for your Majesty!"
As a result, all the civil and military officials, as well as various senior senators, took their seats one after another.
For a moment, the entire Xuanshi Hall was filled with feather crowns and fluorene boards in their hands standing at attention.
The Shuowang Dynasty was no different than the Chang Dynasty. It was the most important court meeting of the Han Dynasty after the annual imperial meeting.
It is held on the lunar day (the first day of the lunar month) and the fifteenth day of the lunar month, so it is also called the lunar day.
After Liu Che came to the throne, he reformed this system.
The original meeting, which was just pure talk and discussion, was changed into a meeting that adjusted important policies and basic national policies.
At the same time, certain court meetings were announced to change the laws and enact certain new laws.
So far, there have been three influential laws passed by the Shuo Wang Dynasty.
"Ping Lv", "Gong Lv" and the Western Han Dynasty version of the Homestead Act "Reclamation Order".
Each one has a far-reaching impact, even enough to change the world.
At the same time, the Shuowang Dynasty also witnessed the destruction of the four kings of Qi and Lu, and the collapse and decline of the Lu and Ru lineages.
Nowadays, no one regards the Shuowang Dynasty as a gathering of games and entertainment.
This was the real meeting place of the Han Dynasty, where the direction of the world and changes in national policy were decided.
As usual, after all the officials were seated, Shangshu ordered Ji An to stand in front of the imperial steps, holding an edict and announcing to the officials: "The Jizhu family abused the old beast's heart, violated the bandits, and used cunning and cuteness.
Drama (Note 1)! I ordered the king to attack it, first defeat Mayi, and then defeat Gaoque! The commander of thousands, the commander of ten thousand, the thirty-two commanders are all gone, the princes of Gudu, the great households, and the twenty-five slave chiefs
Bind your hands! The Jizhu family is discouraged, and the king's army goes northward. The battle is invincible, and they have captured Gaoque. Then they will take Yinshan, Guangshan's river, and the source of the river, all of which are Han territory! Wang Fei of Zhongshan, my humerus, brother and sister!
The book says: If two people are of the same mind, their sharpness will cut through metal; if they are of the same mind, they will stink like orchids! Ouch! King of Zhongshan, the heir of the late emperor, my humerus, limbs! Today, I follow the order of heaven and only follow the ancients, and appoint you to be the king of Mongolia! The king is high.
North of Que, between the Yin Mountains!"
"If you have any objections, you can go to court and speak out!"
After reading the edict, Ji An paused for about three breaths, and then asked: "If you have any objections, you can go to court to speak!"
After doing this three times and confirming that there were no objections, Ji An pushed him to the side of the steps and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, the three ministers, nine ministers, scholars, officials, princes, and nobles all have no objections!"
Liu Che, who was sitting on the throne, looked down at the ministers through the beads, and then said in a clear voice: "If you have an order, it will be an auspicious day. Report it to the Gaomiao!"
"Nuo!" Taichang Dou Pengzu and Dahonglu Gongsun Kunxie immediately came out and bowed with fluorene in their hands: "I respectfully obey the imperial edict!"
The transfer of a title is not like the appointment of a king. You don't need to go to a high temple to ask the gods of your ancestors to witness it. You only need to choose a good day, prepare three animals, and tell the ancestors: Oh, so-and-so has moved to a certain place to serve as a king.
Your Majesty, that’s it.
It was only at this time that Liu Fei, the king of Zhongshan, walked excitedly to the palace, knelt down and worshiped: "I am so blessed by heaven, how dare you not die for your majesty?"
Being moved to the throne between Gaoque and Yinshan Mountain may be torture to others, but to Liu Fei, this is the sound of nature!
I am already satisfied and have nothing else to ask for!
Liu Che then stood up and began to carry out the Liu family's tradition of the emperor conferring the title of king or transferring the title of princes and queens - admonishment!
Later generations did not know much about the internal admonitions of the Liu family, and the only remaining historical materials were the records of Emperor Wu's conferment of the Three Kings.
But we can be sure that at least in Wenjing's time, this system had already been established.
The title of king must be followed by instructions. This is Liu's measure to maintain the unity of the clan and at the same time tell the people of the world the mission he has given to this prince.
Just like the countless laws and policies of the Liu regime.
Before you can say ugly things, the system and the cage must be erected first.
Generally speaking, no prince or king dared to violate the emperor's instructions when he was canonized.
Because that is no different from seeking death.
The emperor has given orders repeatedly, and Xiaoyu understands that if you still do it, you are disrespectful and disrespectful, and you should die!
Liu Che held the Emperor's Sword, walked up to Liu Fei, and said seriously to his younger brother who was lying on the ground: "The people of Qin said: Between the rivers and the Yinshan Mountains, there are thousands of miles of fertile soil and tens of thousands of acres of land! Yuxi! Xi'erxin , prepare things for farming, use diligence for administration, and work diligently and cautiously to benefit and respect you. Do not abandon your people, do not lose your land, do not stay late at night, uphold the law and uphold the rules! The book says: The minister does not exert authority, does not do blessings, and he will have future generations. Shame on you for playing! Protect the country and the people, and the king will give you warning!"
Liu Fei hurriedly bowed down and said: "How dare you not obey the sacred command sincerely? You will not change it until your death!"
"Good!" Liu Che nodded and walked back to the throne.
The ugly things have already been said before.
If Liu Fei dared to be like Liu Zhong, he would run away with his tail between his legs when he saw the Huns invading, regardless of his country and people.
Then don’t blame Liu Che for not recognizing brotherhood and brotherhood!
"I will always be the assistant of the Han Dynasty!" When Liu Che returned to the throne and sat down, the King of Zhongshan, oh, no, the King of Meng, Liu Feicai, bowed again. Then, he respectfully retreated to his seat.
From today on, the Zhongshan Kingdom, at least Liu Fei's Zhongshan Kingdom, ceases to exist.
Its people may migrate to distant new countries with Liu Fei, or they may continue to stay in their place of origin.
How many people can be taken away?
It all depends on how Liu Fei has done in the Zhongshan Kingdom over the years.
However, one thing is certain, Liu Fei's palace officials, eunuchs, maids, palace guards, ministers and their attached tenants and workers will all move with him.
There is no other reason, just because Liu Fei is their master!
Liu Che half-closed his eyes and sat on the throne. After thinking for a moment, he suddenly said: "Censor Zhongcheng!"
His eyes looked at the censor Zhongcheng.
In fact, Liu Che was unwilling to appoint Zhang Ji as Yushi Zhongcheng at first. He and Niu Da, who was born in Qilu and had served as the domestic history of Qi, were the same.
Because Niu Dui is obedient and capable.
But Chao Cuo insisted on choosing Zhang Ji.
In the end, Liu Che had no choice but to agree.
Now it seems that Chao Cuo really posed a problem for Liu Che!
Some people may think that Liu Che and Zhang Ji are playing a double act.
But in fact, those who think this way must not understand the operation of the Han Dynasty.
In the entire Han dynasty system, the emperor was supreme.
But there were three places where the emperor's orders didn't work.
The first is the Prime Minister's Mansion. If the Prime Minister feels that the Emperor's order is wrong, then he doesn't have to do it.
If he has the ability, the emperor can change his appearance.
But before changing the phase, you’d better discuss it with the Prime Minister!
At that time, the Marquis Wen of Beiping, the Marquis An Wen, and even the Marquis Pingyang all relied on the privileges of the prime minister to put aside the monarchy.
The emperor had no choice but to change his appearance.
This is the characteristic of the Chinese feudal dynasty.
The power of kings seems to be supreme, but in fact, there are constraints and balancers.
And the second place is the East Palace.
In the East Palace, the emperor's orders basically had no effect.
The Queen Mother is the Lord of the East Palace!
And the third one is in front of the Yushi Zhongcheng, the deputy of the Yushi doctor.
Although Yushi Zhongcheng only had a thousand stones, he was specially designed to play against the emperor and pour cold water on the emperor.
Since the rise of the Han Dynasty, the imperial censors Zhongcheng of all dynasties have used the emperor's face as a washbasin.
The significance of the existence of the censor Zhongcheng is also to find trouble for the emperor.
Historically, it has not been used by non-direct ministers.
Of course, the emperor would also try his best to insert one of his ministers into the palace.
However, through the ages, successive imperial officials have fought tooth and nail to maintain their authority and traditions.
Even when a softie like Zhang Ou became the imperial censor, he chose a famous direct minister to serve as the censor Zhongcheng.
Originally, Liu Che thought that since this post was from a prince, he must be a man who knew the current affairs. Little did he know that this was also a smelly and hard stone!
If you don't convince him, today's matter will probably never end!
What's even more frightening is that the prime minister and emperor can be changed.
But it is difficult to replace the censor Zhongcheng and the emperor.
Because, Yushi Zhongcheng was nominated by the Yushi doctor.
The emperor could only remove him, but he could not decide on his successor.
And Liu Che was convinced that if he dismissed Zhang Ji, Chao Cuo would definitely choose his successor from among the censors holding books.
Liu Che took a few glances behind Chao Cuo and felt dizzy when he saw the book-holding censors who were looking forward to death and ready to take over at any time.
In order to avoid the embarrassing situation of being left behind by Zhao Dun, Liu Che decided to have a good talk with Zhang Ji.
"I issued an edict the day before yesterday, but Zhang Qing rejected it..." Liu Che asked calmly: "I wonder if Zhang Qing has an explanation?"
Censor Zhongcheng Zhang Ji raised his head and looked at Liu Che, his face full of calmness and solemnity, like a martyr.
When Liu Che saw it, he knew something was wrong.
Because, Liu Che suddenly remembered that the ancestor of Fanhou was Zhang Zhan.
Zhang Zhan's posthumous title is Zhuang Hou.
Zhuang is a synonym for Yan. In the explanation of the posthumous title, Zhang Zhan was given the posthumous title Zhuanghou because he was so strong!
His life was even a life of perseverance.
Back then, Zhang Zhan even dared to challenge Fan Kuai, the Marquis of Wuyang, and compete with Cao Shen, the Marquis of Pingyang.
Before he died, he even got into a verbal spat with Liu Zhong, the Marquis of Heyang. The two accused each other of being rude.
And who is Liu Zhong?
Cousin of Emperor Gao and father of King Wu Liu Bi.
If he hadn't abandoned the Dai Kingdom, he might have been the ancestor of a line of princes and kings!
After Zhang Zhan's death, his son Kanghou Zhang Du also had a bad temper. He was jealous of Lihou Lutai, the grandson of Zhou Luhou, and was cut off with a knife and one of his arms was cut off.
From then on, Zhang Du embarked on the road of not dealing with Lu.
At the beginning, the princes and ministers conspired with the Lu family, and Zhang Du supported it by selling his liver and kidneys.
He even provided the main liaison funds in the early stage...
The ancestors were so powerful, so Zhang Ji's temper might not be much better.
