Chapter 19: Canonization of the Marquis of the Imperial Palace

"Good! You can say that again! Since ancient times, the founder of the country, only Shang Tang and Gaozu opposed Qin, the original intention was selfless, only to save the people. Even King Wu is slightly inferior to Gao Zu! I have enjoyed the world for a long time, and I have been far away from the business week. ”

As Li Su, Dong Fu and others finished arguing, Liu Hong personally stood up from the throne on the altar and praised him.

When he got up, he couldn't help but pat the armrest of the throne a few times to show his appreciation.

As the emperor finally expressed his stance on this major issue of right and wrong, the ministers completely died down. This cannot be refuted, and if you refute it, you think that Gaozu is not right, and that is looking for death.

There is no way, Liu Hong has listened to the Confucian lectures for so many years, and he has long been aggrieved.

Because Confucianism is unique in the world, the great Confucians have more or less lost the ability to start from facts and arguments and debate issues, and they all start from the scriptures and deduce theories with theories.

Li Su's style of words is obviously more like the hundred schools of pre-Qin princes, at that time, there was no one dominance, so any "scripture" has no authority, if you want to refute other families, you can only start from the facts.

And "which rebels throughout the ages have not died well, and which have died well" are all historical facts, and the Confucian "classics" have compiled theories in a rounded way, and there is no way to tamper with the judgment of facts.

Just like a stock commentator who says it wildly, he can't say that the history of the candlestick chart is fake.

Li Su introduced the statistics of historical facts into the debate on the rise and fall of chaos, which was an epoch-making dimensionality reduction attack, and it was not a victory.

"Li Qing can be said to be a person who knows the destiny of heaven, and the third prince doesn't know people, and he doesn't think of a doctor of Taoism, heh." Liu Hong continued to complain as if no one was around, and then said coldly, "Li Qing has this knowledge, so it's better to change it and become an official in the court." ”

Li Su and Zhao Yun stood respectfully below, and when they heard this, they couldn't help frowning, so they had to be bold and risk losing their manners in front of the king, and secretly glanced up at them.

Only then did Li Su notice that the emperor's last sentence was not said to him at all, but turned to Zhao Zhong next to him as he spoke. Obviously, Zhao Zhong had already drawn up the edict for the reward, and today he was supposed to read it out in public through the motions, and Liu Hong was happy to hear it, so he temporarily decided to change it.

Also, as the emperor, how can he consider the opinions of his subordinates and consult with you? Of course, I let you do whatever you want.

Of course, Zhao Zhong would not disobey the emperor's will, but he did not change it immediately, but delayed a little while agreeing, obviously wanting to confirm whether the emperor was hot for three minutes on a whim.

Li Su knew that there were not many opportunities, so he hurriedly dared to speak up: "Your Majesty, the minister has a word to play." ”

Liu Hong waved his hand: "Say it." ”

Li Su: "Favored by the saints, the ministers are terrified, but although Zhang Ju is punished, Zhang Chun is still there, and Liaodong is not peaceful." Reading Liu Youzhou's kindness, he promoted his ministers to the grass, and the ministers did not dare to enjoy the peace alone. ”

Liu Hong stared at Li Su curiously, and smiled: "Yes, but you are a righteous man, then let you go back to Youzhou, and wait for the thieves in Youzhou to completely subside, and then discuss entering the court." ”

Li Su: "Thank you." ”

Liu Hong didn't look at him, so he pulled Zhao Zhong and gave a few casual orders, and Zhao Zhong also had to temporarily revise the edict, tossing for a while, and there was no court prestige at all.

The ministers of the Manchu Dynasty looked at it, and sighed slightly in their hearts: Alas, the rewards and punishments are from the heart, and there is no certainty!

But everyone is also used to it, this kind of strange thing Liu Hong has done a lot, the court meeting that canonized Cui Lie as Situ, Liu Hong was in front of everyone, just after announcing the appointment, he complained that this Situ was cheap.

Now because of listening to Li Su's bragging, he is in a good mood and is rewarded a little, which is not strange at all.

And in good conscience, Li Su's words are indeed helpful to the legitimacy of the Han Dynasty, and they have merit, and everyone is convinced.

Half an hour later, Zhao Zhong took out a new edict and read out the rewards for the main officials of Youzhou's counterinsurgency:

“…… Hereby add the seal of Youzhou Muyu, the Marquis of Ji, 5,000 households in the food town, and the false festival.

Liaodong Changshi Gongsun Zhan, changed the right Beiping Taishou, sealed the order of the Pavilion Marquis, and ate 500 households.

Guangyang Governor, Jixian Commander Liu Bei, changed to protect Wuhuan Captain, Liaodong Xiang, Fengliang Township Pavilion Marquis, and 400 households.

Hu Wuhuan school captain Yongjie Changshi, Youzhou don't drive Li Su, add Liaodong Changshi, Fengdu Tinghou, 200 households.

Guangyang Governor Zuoyamen Governor Guan Yu, changed to Liaodong Governor, Guannei Hou, 100 households in the food ......"

Li Su listened quietly, and from Guan Yu down, there was no title, not even the Marquis of Guannei.

In addition, the reason why Liu Bei was named "Liaodong Minister" was because there were both "Liaodong County" and "Liaodong Subject" at that time, and the governor of the county was Taishou, and the governor of the subject country was Xiang.

In the early Eastern Han Dynasty, there were vassal kings sealed in Liaodong, and Liaodong was very large, so several counties around Changli County were separated from Liaodong County and listed as a separate kingdom, and Liaodong County still governed Xiangping.

However, the vassal king who was later enshrined in Liaodong did not exist, and the subject state of Liaodong was governed by the Taishou of Liaodong County. So in fact, the "Liaodong Taishou" is slightly higher than the "Liaodong Xiang" by half a level.

The Yang people who were martyred in the Zhang Ju Rebellion were originally Liaodong Taishou, but because most of Liaodong County was still in the hands of anti-thieves, they only named Liu Bei Liaodong for the time being, which also implied Liu Bei:

You have to fight back from the rebels on the territory that the imperial court has given you, and as long as you fight back, your "phase" can naturally be upgraded to "Taishou".

Li Su, as the long history of Liaodong, also wants to serve as Liu Bei's deputy, and help completely annihilate the Liaodong rebels.

In addition, the marquis with a "capital" at the end of the Han Dynasty was already considered a marquis in terms of rank, but there was still no fief, only a virtual food and tax similar to the marquis of Guannei.

For example, there are 100 households in Guanneihou, there is no specific place, and you don't know where your 100 households are.

The imperial court only calculated ten stone of grain per household per year according to the standard of four stone per year for a Zhengding and two stone for men and adult women.

The 100 households of the Marquis of Guannei are the title of 1,000 stone every year. 200 households in Duting Hou are folded for 2,000 stones, and 300 households in Duxiang Hou are folded for 3,000 stones......

And the normal pavilion marquis is already higher than the capital township marquis, because people have a pavilion that can be seen on a real map as a fief.

All the pavilions and townsmen are still named after the county where they are located, and at the same time write down how many households in the food town, and then make up one or several pavilions according to the number of households after arriving at the place.

For example, Liu Bei sealed the Liangxiang Pavilion this time, Liangxiang is the name of the county, assuming that there are two pavilions in a local township, one hundred households and one three hundred households, adding up to just four hundred households, then give Liu Bei both pavilions food and rent tax.

In the end, the money that should be given still has to be given. The regular price of the captain of Wuhuan and the minister of Liaodong is 15 million each, and those titles are even more exaggerated, starting from 10 million pavilion marquis, 15 million duxiang marquis, and 20 million serious pavilion marquis.

Most of them were offset by the Wuhuan tribe bounty that Liu Bei paid to Liu Yu before, but there was still an extra part, and tens of millions of dollars must be indispensable.

Otherwise, there are so many people who have made meritorious contributions to the imperial court, why don't you see others being promoted every time they have meritorious service?

In more than a year, he was promoted from county magistrate to lieutenant, and no one could do it without giving money for it.

……

"We finally have a knighthood! Although it's just the Marquis of Duting, it's still a Marquis! It's not easy, sneaking into the Qiu Liju camp to talk and laugh, and get Zhang Ju's head in exchange. It was really difficult for the literati of the Han Dynasty to be crowned a liehou, but fortunately, the diplomatic victory of Zhang Ju could barely be regarded as a military merit. ”

After listening to the decision of all the rewards, Li Su received the edict with both hands, and then thanked him, but his mind was still a little uncalm.

After a long time, the court meeting finally dispersed, and Li Su also retreated.

Someone among the ten permanent servants called Li Su and asked him to wait, the emperor still had something to talk to him, so Li Su had to continue to wait.

But in fact, it's nothing, it's just that Liu Hong suddenly became interested today and asked Li Su to tell him some historical stories - mainly from the perspective of data statistics and inventory of historical events.

Because the great Confucian who gave the emperor a history lesson before had never talked about it from the perspective of data statistical analysis, the emperor was curious.

Li Su was patient, and explained for a long time, picking as interesting an inventory as possible, almost like the UC Shock Department's "Top Ten XXX in History, How about the fourth place, how about the second place, but most people don't know about the first place", anyway, how the title file cheats how to click.

Liu Hong really listened to it very well, and left him to quit a meal before letting him go. Before leaving, a eunuch confessed to him in private: "Go back and let Liaodong Xiangsheng work hard and do his best as soon as possible." On the day when Youzhou was completely pacified, His Majesty reappointed him as the Taishou of Liaodong and the General of Duliao. ”

Captain Wuhuan and Liaodong Xiang are both more than 2,000 stones.

And General Duliao and Liaodong Taishou are two thousand stones, and they are half a level higher. When he arrived at General Duliao, he was regarded as a miscellaneous general, and he had also gone through the transformation from "captains" to "generals" from captains/captains.

This is a big hurdle, and many military attaches have never been able to cross the gap between lieutenants and generals in their lives.

Historically, these two positions were basically the high positions reached by Gongsun Chan before the group of heroes fought against Dong, and now half of them have been taken away.

"Your Majesty's trust, how dare you not use your life."

……

After returning to Luoyang City, it was already evening that day, Li Su and Zhao Yun went back to their accommodation to stay for another night, preparing to return to Youzhou tomorrow with the imperial court's reward.

Li Su also noticed that Zhao Yun had personally killed Zhang Ju, but in order to brag about the prestige of the imperial court, Zhao Yun could only be a behind-the-scenes hero, so he was not mentioned in this fate.

When everyone talked privately behind closed doors, Li Su of course wanted to comfort Zhao Yun: "Zilong, don't worry, Guan Sima has been promoted to the commander of Liaodong, and the subordinate positions of the commander are not Liu Fujun and Guan Duwei have the final say?" When the time comes, Yi Dejin will be the Left Tooth Door Governor, and you will definitely be the Right Tooth Gate Governor, above the Sima of the Ministries. ”

When assassinating, it is not too hard to use his hands in terms of Zhao Yun's martial arts, but the target he kills is valuable, and the credit is worth it.

Working overtime to kill people for half an hour, he was promoted from an ordinary Sima to the right tooth door governor, which is already very cost-effective.

Zhao Yun is still so indifferent to fame and fortune: "How dare my subordinates disagree, let Dian Wei and Youping make a move at that time, and they can also succeed." Changshi asked me to do it, because he trusted me. ”

"That's good, have a good rest tonight, and I'm going to leave tomorrow morning again."

Li Su rested for one night, and returned to his hometown with the honor of being a marquis.
