Chapter 55 The dragon boat sails eastward, and the crane roars in Beijing【四】
The next day, Taiwei Zhong Yao, Situ Huaxin, and Sikong Wanglang were the first to arrive at the East Palace.
Pingyuan King Fu Gaotanglong also came to the Yizheng Hall early.
Then came the ministers Fu Xun and Du Xi, as well as the two chief officials of the Zhongshu Province: Liu Fang, the supervisor of the Zhongshu Province, Sun Zi, the Ling of the Zhongshu Ling, and Xin Pi, the servant of the Zhongshu Province.
After the establishment of this dynasty, the emperor immediately began to reform the official system.
The post of prime minister in the previous dynasty has been abandoned, and the powers and responsibilities of the prime minister have been divided into three, becoming the Shangshu Taiwan, Zhongshu Sheng, and Shizhong Temple.
The Shangshu is no longer an official subordinate to the prime minister, but has become an independent institution. The Shangshu Province has a third-rank chief, the Shangshu Ling, who is supported by one person each on the left and right of the Shangshu, each of whom is the third rank.
The current Shangshu Ling and Shangshu Pushe of this dynasty are Chen Qun and Sima Yi who are accompanying His Majesty the Emperor on his expedition.
The Shangshu Province no longer has the power to make decisions on state affairs, but only has the power to handle specific affairs.
There are five Cao Cao under the Chancellor: Li Cao is in charge of the transfer of officials; Zuo Min is in charge of people's household registration and taxes; Ke Cao is in charge of state affairs and diplomatic affairs with Eastern Wu, Shu and Han; Wu Bing is in charge of officer selection and military training; Du Zhi is in charge
Treasury.
These five Cao Cao govern affairs, and each Cao Cao has a chief minister, all of whom are officials of the third rank.
Under the minister, there are ministers, and the ministers are subordinates, such as the new minister Zhuge Dan, Wang Ji, Wang Boyu and others.
[Note 1: Under the five ministers in Shangshutai, there are Dianzhong, Libu, Jiabu, Jinbu, Yucao, Bibu, Nanzhuke, Ancestral Hall, Duzhi, Treasury, Agriculture, Water, and Yicao
, Sangong, Cangbu, Min Cao, two thousand stones, Du Guan, Zhong Bing, Foreign Bing, Du Bing, Peer Bing, Cavalry, Kao Gong, Ding Ke, a total of twenty-five men, assisting the Minister in organizing various affairs.]
In addition, the Zhongshu Province has two officials: Zhongshu Jian and Zhongshu Ling, both of whom are third-rank officials.
The chief officials of the Zhongshu Province in this dynasty are Liu Fang, Liu Ziqi, and Sun Zi, Sun Yanlong, who are sitting firmly in the political hall at the moment.
Zhongshu Sheng is in charge of secrets and drafting edicts. When there are confidential matters or urgent matters, Zhongshu Sheng can directly issue edicts and hand them over to relevant officials for execution. This power is not unimportant.
Outside of Taiwan Province, there is also the Shizhong Temple. As early as the sixth year of the reign of Emperor Ling of the previous dynasty Liu Hongxi, this yamen was first established, with the Shizhong and Jishi Huangmen Shilang as the chief officers, and all the officials and ministers under the head.
In this dynasty, the third-rank Shizhong was the chief official. There were always four people in the Shizhong, and the most senior one among them served as the sacrificial wine. The main duties of the Shizhong were to accompany the emperor, advise him on the pros and cons at any time, and at the same time serve as a disciple.
The chief officer controlled other emperor's attendants.
Not long after, Guang Luxun made peace, Ting Wei Gao Rou, Zhi Jin Wu Zang Ba, Yu Shi Zhongcheng Bao Xun, Da Si Nong Chang Lin, Si Jin Du Wei Han Ji and other important ministers who participated in the founding of the country and discussed politics, except for Wei Wei Li Yi, who claimed to be ill.
After Zhu Shuo, the leader of the Central Military Commission, was guarding the palace city, other ministers came to the East Palace Council Hall in twos and threes and returned to their seats under the guidance of the visitors from the East Palace.
When this dynasty was first established, there were nine ministers following the Han Dynasty system of the previous dynasty. The positions of the other eight ministers did not change much. Except for Guang Luxun, the civil servants who were originally subordinate to Guang Luxun were all reorganized into Shizhong.
Lu Xun only managed military attendants.
The Zhonglang General in the field is another anomaly. This dynasty attaches great importance to the field, so the Zhonglang general does not belong to the chief of all the Zhonglang generals, Guang Luxun.
After a while, Cao Lin, the king of Hedong who was in charge of the imperial guards of the palace, also slowly and swaggeringly brought his followers to the meeting hall. He specifically chose the seat next to the three princes and put on the white soap gauze dress that resembled the prince's clothes.
Qu Ling Yuanyou Guan straightened his clothes and then sat down firmly.
Not long after everyone arrived, Cao Rui, king of Pingyuan, came to the Yizheng Hall under the guard of Guanqiu Jian, the servant of the East Palace Literature, Cao Shuang, the guest of the East Palace, Wen Zeng and Bi Gui, the masters of the East Palace. sit.
"See His Royal Highness King Pingyuan!"
When everyone saw that the prisoner was in his correct position, they all knelt down and saluted.
"Dear ministers, there is no need to be polite."
Cao Rui smiled slightly and continued:
"Before discussing politics, there is a case that needs to be entrusted to Captain Ting immediately."
Since Gao Xun had not returned home all night, he had not yet informed Tingwei of Gao Rou's many events last night.
After listening to Cao Rui's words, Tingwei Gaorou did not dare to delay. He became energetic and immediately left the table, bowed in front of the hall and said:
"I don't know what the case is, but I'd like to ask for your Highness's instructions."
Cao Rui clapped his hands, and Cao Shuang immediately left the hall.
Not long after, Cao Shuang led the East Palace Guards, Sima Supervisor Wei Lie, and the prisoner Wei Lie had captured, Xiao Xuanxue, to the Yizheng Hall.
"Your Highness, I have led Sima Langzhong to apprehend the criminal Xiao Xuanxue and bring him to justice!"
――――
On Pingchangmen Street, Xia Houxuan, even though he had already drank the hangover soup and drank with Xun Can all night, still felt a little dizzy.
"Brother Xun, speaking of Xiao Xuanxue, although she is a Soochow artist, she is just a weak woman after all. Moreover, she is passionately devoted to you, but you treat her like this. Isn't it a bit too cruel?"
Xun Can smiled and answered Xia Houxuan:
"Brother Xiahou, this is wrong. Once Xizuo sells the information to the enemy, and war breaks out, it will be the people of Wei who suffer in the end."
Xia Houxuan smiled apologetically:
"What Brother Xun said is true."
"However, I have also asked Gao Xun, and he said that Xiao Xuanxue is not an assassin, but only a careful agent, and has not really betrayed any military intelligence. Therefore, just serving a ten-year sentence will not endanger his life."
Xun Can turned pale, looked up to the sky and sighed: "In troubled times, human life is like a piece of grass. It's good that she can save her life..."
――――
After bidding farewell to Queen Guo at the Xuchang Palace, His Majesty the Emperor's dragon boat sailed down the Yingchuan River and finally arrived at Suiyang.
Cao Pi thought of a past event and a person.
That year, when he had just ascended the throne as emperor, he appointed Lu Yu, the young son of Lu Zhi, the young son of the former great scholar Lu Zhi, as the minister of Huangmen, as the prefect of Liang County and Qiao County, in an attempt to Practice it well and it will be of great use in the future.
However, later because of an incident, the Lu Zi family lost his respect and was even demoted by him, until today.
Although Cao Pi was an emperor, he saw that his hometown Qiaojun was desolate, so he specially sent people to Qiaojun to farm and make Qiaojun rich.
But the Luzi family did not understand their painstaking efforts, so they went so far as to say that the land in Qiaojun was barren and the people were poor, and they requested that the people who had previously moved to farmland in Qiaojun be moved to the fertile land of Liang.
As soon as this memorial came up, even if I didn't want to agree, I had to agree, otherwise the people of the world would think that I didn't understand geography and wasted people's energy.
In this way, Cao Pi praised Lu Yu verbally and demoted Lu Yu to Suiyang Diannong School Captain.
Today, the dragon boat happened to arrive at Suiyang, so Cao Pi naturally thought of Lu Yu, the captain of the Diannong School who was overqualified but underutilized.
Looking at the fertile farmland on both sides of the river and the cheerful songs of working farmers in the distance, Cao Pi's face, which was originally like a frozen abyss, seemed to melt.
The corners of his mouth raised unconsciously.
"Your Majesty, why are you so cheerful?"
Bian Lan, the regular servant of Sanqi, saw His Majesty the Emperor suddenly smiling. He was curious and asked directly.
"No other, I am happy to see the people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait live and work in peace and contentment."
Cao Pi was immersed in this peace and happiness for a moment. In his image, he had been following Emperor Wu on his expeditions to the east and west, and to the north and south since he was more than ten years old. In his original image, the Central Plains was full of wars.
There is no cockcrow for a thousand miles.
But now, he sees that his world has finally become peaceful and peaceful, how can he not feel happy?
"Bian Lan, go and tell me what I want, tell Jiang Ji and Liu Ye, and ask them to prepare an imperial edict, so I said: Lu Yu, the captain of Dian Nong School in Suiyang, has a clean political performance, peaceful rule, and peaceful people. Now he is promoted to Anping.
The governor of the Second County of Guangping will take up his post immediately, and he will live up to my promise."
"only."
After receiving the oral order, Bian Lan immediately went to find Jiang Ji and Liu Ye.
Cao Pi smiled again.
"What a Zang Nukou Qingzhou."
Cao Pi smiled to himself.
The slave bandit he calls is the diminutive of Zhijinwu Zangba.
Speaking of the Qingzhou soldiers under Zang Ba, Cao Pi did not have a good impression. It can even be said that this was a thorn in Cao Pi's heart.
In the twenty-fourth year of Jian'an, Emperor Taizu Wu's mausoleum collapsed. Zang Ba's Qingzhou soldiers thought that the world was about to be in chaos, but they all went away by beating drums!
An army disbanded on its own without the monarch's order. This was simply a great insult to the new monarch.
Unfortunately, Cao Pi himself was the unfortunate new king.
If these Qingzhou soldiers were to be disbanded like this, it would be a disaster. However, the matter was far from over. These Qingzhou soldiers who had disbanded on their own once again gathered privately under the command of various Qingxu tyrants to form a private group. And these tyrants,
And they all obeyed the orders of Zang Ba, the former governor of Qingzhou!
this is too scary.
Hence, what happened two years ago.
Two years ago, when he was conducting a three-pronged attack on Wu, and Wen Lie was in charge of the Qing and Xu armies, Zang Ba actually said to Wen Lie:
"The country is not willing to listen to Ba Er! If you pretend to be Ba Er and ride on ten thousand people, you will surely be able to run rampant across the river."
This is directly persuading Wen Lie to allocate ten thousand elite troops to him so that he can conquer Jiangdong by himself.
I originally thought that Zang Ba was already old and just wanted to keep Zuo Lu for the rest of his life. But he didn't expect that he was not satisfied with his existing status and wanted to make great achievements again. He even separated himself from Jiang Biao and became the second one.
A Sun Quan!
If Wen Lie hadn't told him secretly, he would never have known that Zang Ba had this idea.
Although I have relieved Zang Ba from his military power in Qingzhou at the expense of Jiu Qingzhi Jinwu's position, the local powerful bullies in Xuzhou, Qingzhou, each support their own tribes of retainers, and they all have grievances in their hearts. They must let him
Only with proper management can this hidden danger be completely eliminated.
The two counties of Anping and Guangping were both located in Qingxu. He specially appointed Lu Yu as the prefect of these two counties, precisely to suppress the tyrants of Qingxu.
One Lu Yu is naturally not enough. Lu Yu is just the beginning. Even if Cao Pi fails to conquer Sun Quan successfully in this southern expedition, it will be enough to solve Qing Xu's problem.
Xuzhou, you must first solve this fertile land!
"Xun Wei, send the order, order the commander to move forward quickly, and must arrive in Xuzhou within five days!"
"promise!"
Chang Shixun Wei took the order and left.
――――
"Axuan, tell me, His Highness King Pingyuan has already sentenced Wu Guoxiu Xiao Xuanxue to ten years in prison. There should be no more trouble in Luoyang City, right?"
Cao Xi was leaning on the sandalwood couch that originally belonged to Xia Houxuan.
Although Cao Xi was very sleepy after a busy night, he was really worried about Cao Rui, who was supervising the country, so he hurried to the Marquis Mansion in Changling Township to discuss with Xia Houxuan.
Xia Houxuan, who was playing the harp and burning incense in front of his desk next to his bed, was picking the strings of the harp and controlling the rise and fall of the sandalwood smoke with the sound of the harp. He replied to Cao Xi:
"Luoyang is a vast place, with a mixture of Hu, Han, thieves and virtuous people. In my opinion, Xiao Xuanxue is just a chess piece abandoned by the mastermind behind the scenes. The real danger may still lie behind."
The sound of the piano was far away, and Xia Houxuan stopped talking. He just played the music of Crane Ming in the Yin, Crane Dance in the Virtual Courtyard, and Shang Yang Encourage over and over again.
Cao Xi only felt a headache, and he was so sleepy that he finally fell asleep under the gentle sound of Xia Houxuan's piano and the scent of sandalwood.
