Chapter 1444: Four Emperors, Seven Kings and Six Kingdoms
Chapter 1444: Four Emperors, Seven Kings and Six Kingdoms
Cao Cao, Liu Che, Gongsun Xuanyuan, these three princes successively became dukes, which also made the minds of other princes lively.
After all, if there is a duke in the country, the will of the imperial court will be less restrictive on the feudal state, and the freedom and autonomy of living will also become greater.
In short, getting the canonization of the Luoyang Imperial Court is beneficial and harmless.
Following Cao Cao and other princes of the three roads, Yuan Shao, Marquis of Zhao, was the first to ask the court to be named the Duke of Zhao.
If you want to be named the prince of the country, you must have great merit, and Yuan Shao has been fighting civil wars in the past few years, and he has made no contribution to the country or the people.
In addition, Yuan Shao was still in Qingzhou not long ago, and fought with Li Jing, the assassin of Qingzhou appointed by the imperial court, and Yuan Shu's rebellion also caused a lot of negative impact on Yuan Shao.
Therefore, Yuan Shao wants the imperial court to make him the prince of the country, which is obviously not very likely.
In desperation, Yuan Shao could only reduce the garrison on the border with Beihai, and pay tribute to the imperial court of 100,000 stone and 10,000 taels of gold, and at the same time, the posture of asking for the edict was also reduced to a very low level, hoping to gain the support of the imperial court.
Even Yuan Shaolian turned out his old book, saying that he was the fourth and third prince of the Yuan family, and he had no merit and trouble, and he Yuan Benchu suppressed the Yellow Turban, expelled Xianbei, fought against the Ming Dynasty, and participated in the discussion of Dong......
In short, it is a sentence, I, Yuan Shao, have made meritorious contributions and shed blood for the Han Dynasty, and it is not too much to be crowned a prince, and the court cannot turn a blind eye to his merits because of a little mistake.
After Qin Hao saw Yuan Shao's edict, he was also speechless, Yuan Shao was just for the position of a national prince, and he really didn't even want his face.
However, considering that Yuan Shao's tribute is quite rich, and Qin Hao will also fight in Jizhou soon, the relationship with Yuan Shao is such a stiff relationship, it is not good for him to keep guarding himself.
In order to let Yuan Shao let go of his vigilance, Qin Hao still decided to give the position of Duke Zhao to Yuan Shao, after all, with Yuan Shu's rebellion, the political blessings of the Yuan family were all inherited by Yuan Shao, and with the political background of the fourth and third dukes of the Yuan family, as well as Yuan Shao's own contributions, it was barely possible to be crowned a duke in this chaotic period.
Seeing that Yuan Shao received the title of Duke of Zhao as he wished, the other princes were naturally excited.
Of course, it is only some big princes who are excited, and small princes like Song Jiang and Huang Zu naturally dare not think about the matter of sealing the prince.
Han Fu, who followed Yuan Shao, asked the imperial court to make him the Duke of Han, and then Sun Jian, also the Duke of Wu;
The Duke of the Kingdom is not a cabbage, and the court is not as weak as it was at the beginning, and he will seal out the position of a Duke of the Kingdom because of a Yuan Shu attack.
Yuan Shao is really an occasional credit, and Feng Gong can understand it, but what credit does Han Fu have?
Even if there is merit, it is only a small merit, and it is not enough to be crowned a public official.
Even if Han Fu took the initiative to pay tribute, and the amount was still more than Yuan Shao's, the imperial court still refused Han Fu's request to be crowned.
Of course, if Han Fu is willing to take the initiative to take the initiative to take the military and political power, Qin Hao can also make him a national prince, but he himself is unwilling.
In addition to rejecting Han Fu, the imperial court also rejected Sun Jian's request for feudalism, although Sun Jian supported Qin Hao with some grain and grass during the Battle of Hetao, but his unification of Jiangdong was not reasonable and legal in the eyes of the imperial court.
Wang Lang did accept Dong Zhuo's canonization, but then he took the initiative to resign and pleaded with the imperial court.
Liu Miao is a member of the Han family, even if there are some small mistakes, he will not be guilty of death.
Sun Jian attacked Wang Lang, barely a famous teacher, but then attacked Liu Xuan, which is the following crime, not to mention that he also killed Liu Xuan.
The process of Sun Jian's unification of Jiangdong does not occupy the legal principle, and to a certain extent, he is already on the verge of rebellion, if it is not for Qin Hao, who has a good relationship with the ruler of the DPRK and China, Sun Jian will definitely be directly beaten as a rebel, and it is the kind that does not discuss at all.
Although the personal relationship between Qin and Sun is good, Qin Hao will not make Sun Jian a prince because of this, and although Sun Jian's credit is not small, after all, he does not have Yuan Shao's political background, so it is naturally impossible to be a duke.
Although Qin Hao rejected Sun Jian's request to be crowned a duke, he crowned him as the general of the expedition to the south, and the commander-in-chief was Yang and handed over to the military and political affairs of the two states.
In order to prevent Sun Jian from getting upset, Qin Hao also gave Sun Jian a promise that as long as he could kill Hong Xiuquan or kill Yuan Shu, he would definitely make him a principality.
Whether it is Hong Xiuquan or Yuan Shu, it is a big rebellion for the imperial court, and if there is credit for killing them, it is naturally reasonable for Sun Jian to be crowned duke, and Qin Hao will naturally not be stingy with the title of Duke Wu at that time.
Sun Jian also knew that he couldn't stand up to Feng Gong at all, and he took the initiative to ask for Feng You just to give it a try, although he didn't get the position of Wu Gong, but he also got one of the four expeditions of the general of Zhengnan, and he also occupied the legal principle of ruling Jiangnan in the future, and Sun Jian was naturally satisfied.
Qin Hao rejected Han Fu and Sun Jian's request for the title of duke, and also let the princes of the world understand that the title of the imperial court is not a cabbage, and Zhao Kuangyin is just a special case, and if you want to get benefits, you must pay something.
Qin Hao's appointment of Cao Cao, Liu Che, Gongsun Xuanyuan, and Yuan Shao as public officials is all justified, and the rejection of Han Fu and Sun Jian is also justified, making it impossible to find fault.
After this act of sealing the duke, the authority of the Luoyang court represented by Qin Hao was even greater, but the authority of the imperial court was consolidated, but the imperial power of the Han Dynasty was further impacted.
At this point, in addition to the three major camps in the world, it has also entered a new era of four emperors, seven kings and six kingdoms.
Four emperors: Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Zhang Sheng of the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Tuolei of the Yuan Dynasty, and Emperor Nurhachi of the Qing Dynasty
Seven kings: Li Shimin, King of Tang, Yang Guang, King of Sui, Liu Ji, King of Shu, Zhu Tianpeng, King of Qi, Hong Xiuquan, King of Heaven, Liu Yu, King of Chengdu, and Chiyou, King of Nanban
The Six Kingdoms: Qin Hao, Qin Gong, Zhao Kuangyin, Song Gong, Cao Cao, Zhao Gong, Yuan Shao, Zhao Gong, Liu Che, Yan Gong, and Sun Xuanyuan, Liao Gong
In addition to the four emperors, seven kings and six kingdoms, there are six princes in the world, as well as three major counties.
Six Marquises: Liu Xiu, Marquis of Chu, Sun Jian, Marquis of Wu, Han Fu, Marquis of Liang, Song Jiang, Marquis of E, Huang Zu, and Marquis Yu
Three county marquis: Jincheng Hou Han Sui, Wuwei Hou Ma Teng, Jiaozhi Hou Shixie
From the thirty-six princes to the current era of four emperors, seven kings and six princes, in just three or four years, most of the princes in the world have been reduced.
Dong Zhuo, Li Yuan, Yang Jian, Wang Shichong, Zhang Shicheng, Chen Youliang, Temujin, Huang Chao...... And so on, countless heroes have fallen, and many new heroes have appeared.
You sang and I appeared, it's really exciting.
But this is just the beginning, a more fierce annexation war is coming, and the person who started it is Qin Hao.
