The title system of the Han Dynasty was actually quite complicated.

At first, it was the 20th rank system of the Qin Dynasty, but a prince was set up.

At the beginning, the prince could be obtained by meritorious ministers, but later Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, killed all the kings with different surnames, and since then, the prince has become only available to the royal family.

Below the king, there are twenty ranks, and these twenty titles are twenty ranks, starting from the lowest rank of dukes and ending with the highest level of marquis.

However, later, when Emperor Liu Che of the Han Dynasty was in power, in order to avoid secrecy, the Marquis of Che became a liehou.

Then, because of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, who was at war with the Xiongnu all the year round, in order to raise military expenses, he began to sell titles, and the twentieth rank lord system, except for the highest rank of the marquis and the marquis of Guannei, other titles can be sold, and you can buy them with some money or grain.

This trend became even more prevalent after it developed into the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Especially during the period of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, not only titles could be bought and sold, but even official positions could be sold.

In addition to the large-scale granting of knights, the late Han Dynasty officially implemented the system of selling knights, and you can buy knights with money, you can buy knights when you enter Su, and you can also buy knights with slaves and maids. The method of buying a knighthood has led to the proliferation of titles, and the system of military merit has lost its original role of rewarding military merits.

As a result, in the Three Kingdoms period, any person who pulled it out was what kind of marquis.

Completely lost as a status symbol.

Liu Zheng felt that such a title system was not attractive, at most it was just a name, which was not real, so he wanted to change the title system and use a model similar to modern military ranks to canonize these civil and military generals under him.

There are 12 levels in total.

Military generals were knighted by the system of 12 ranks, such as corporal, sergeant, sergeant, second lieutenant, lieutenant, captain, major, lieutenant colonel, major, lieutenant general, and admiral.

The literati engaged in government affairs use the four titles of bachelor, master, doctor, academician, divided into one, two, and three, and the same twelve levels to determine their titles.

In this way, it is simple and easy to remember, everyone has nothing to compare, and the promotion system is relatively complete.

The new title system can bring freshness, and at the same time highlight Liu Zheng's distinctiveness, and also show him the nobility of the title.

After considering the system, a month passed quickly.

A month later, the act of proclaiming the emperor finally began in Wu County.

In the established good days, this Wu County has begun to put up lights, and many people know that in two days, this place will become Liu Zhengxin's empire, and Wu County will no longer become Wu County from today onwards, but the imperial capital.

The day of the enthronement.

Outside the city of Wu County, a large altar that had been built in advance to worship the heavens had already been prepared.

Liu Zheng wore a dragon robe, and under the leadership of hundreds of civil and military officials, he began to hold a ceremony to worship the sky.

Standing on the high platform, holding the notice written by Gu Yong and Zhang Zhao.

An impassioned speech proclaimed heaven and proclaimed the emperor on behalf of the Han Dynasty.

In the words, although Liu Zheng's identity as a royal child was not said, as long as it was a surname Liu, those who went to the ancestors to find their roots and ask their ancestors were always descendants of the royal family, Liu Zheng blindly broke the descendants of a prince and king, and no one dared to say anything, but Liu Zheng was too lazy to do it, he didn't care about this, he directly declared God, called himself the emperor, and the country name was Han, and bluntly said that he would crusade against the puppet emperor Liu Wei and the traitor Yuan Shao.

Liu Wei is like Liu Xuan, the first emperor, and Yuan Shao is a self-reliant Wang Mang on behalf of the Han Dynasty, but he has not yet reached Wang Mang's step.

And Liu Zheng naturally compares himself to Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu.

Although this will anger the two generals, He Miao and Yuan Shao, and let them launch a crusade against Liu Zheng.

But Liu Zheng is not afraid at all, anyway, the relationship between them has reached the point where the fish is dead and the net is broken, even if Liu Zheng is not the emperor, they will not let Liu Zheng go, rather than so, it is better to be called the emperor, even if it is dead, it is better to be buried with the emperor's ceremony.

The pattern is different.

After the ceremony of sacrificing to the heavens, Liu Zheng began to canonize civil and military officials in public in the main hall of the palace.

Liu Zheng did not completely follow the official system of the Han Dynasty, although the system of three princes and nine secretaries was retained, but he added the cabinet system.

Xu You, Shi Xie, Gu Yong, and Zhang Zhao were four cabinet members to assist Liu Zheng in handling political affairs.

Yuan Zhou is the prime minister, the first of the hundred officials, the highest in Yulu, the son of heaven, and the assistant Wanji.

Huang Zhong is the chief lieutenant, second only to the prime minister's official position, in charge of military affairs, and his status is the same as that of the prime minister, which is the highest military attache position.

Chen Deng was the imperial envoy and doctor, exercising the functions and powers of the deputy prime minister, and was the assistant to the prime minister, supervising all the administrative activities of the hundred officials and ministers, including the prime minister.

Yuan Zhou, Huang Zhong, Chen Deng, ranked the third public.

Guo Jia is too often, in charge of temple affairs, generally does not participate in specific administrative affairs, and is the head of Jiuqing.

Dian Wei is Guangluxun, in charge of the security affairs in the palace, and he is also the deputy commander of the Jinyi Guard.

Zhou Yu was in charge of the palace guards for the post of guard lieutenant, which was a military position and the commander of the emperor's guards.

Cai Mao is a servant and is in charge of carriages and horses.

Zhang Min was the court lieutenant and was in charge of punishment.

Cao Cao is the great Honglu, the kings are in dispute, and the frontier is barbarian.

Mi Fang is the great Si Nong, in charge of the country's taxes and money, is the central ** Ministry of Finance of the Han Dynasty, all the national financial expenditures, military expenditures, such as land rent, mouth endowment, salt and iron, are transported and transported, and currency management is managed by the Dasi Nong.

Lu Jun was the Shaofu, in charge of the royal family's finances and the emperor's clothing, food, housing and transportation.

Among the nine Qings, there is also a Zongzheng.

This official position is mostly held by relatives of the emperor, but Liu Zheng has no relatives at present, so in the end, Zongzheng will not be established for the time being, and let him keep it first.

As soon as the official positions of the three princes and nine secretaries came out, these civil officials under Liu Zheng were basically included.

Next is the appointment of military generals.

As for the official positions of military generals, in fact, most of Liu Zheng still used the official titles of the Han Dynasty.

Xu Huang is the general in court!

Gan Ning was the hussar general, Zhou Cang was the chariot general, and Wen Ping was the Wei general.

Zu Lang, Jiang Qin, Zhou Tai, Tai Shici, four are the generals of the Four Expeditions.

Zang Ba, Guan Hai, Sun Ce, Su Fei, four are the generals of the four towns.

And so on, reward these generals under him.

Of course, Liu Zheng has not forgotten the famous Lu Bu, Lu Bu has never had any actual power under Liu Zheng, just a symbolic mascot, killing him Liu Zheng is reluctant, let him go, and is afraid that he will cause trouble for Liu Zheng.

I didn't dare to get too close to him, and I was afraid that I would be too distant from him.

canonization like this, naturally, Lu Bu can't be let go.

Liu Zheng could only arrange a title for Lu Bu as a general. After all, the name of this general was also set up by Empress Lu to her nephew Lu Lu back then.
