Chapter 491: The Three Righteous Brothers Became the King
At present, there are no eunuchs in the palace, only close attendants, who are also served by Jinyi Guard, and it is said that the province needs to add some Lang officials, just like the kind that was subordinate to Guangluxun before.
The reason for not having eunuchs is also very simple, at present, Liu Tao only lives in the house, and some maidservants are fine, and if there is any rough work, he will temporarily transfer the Jinyi Guard to help.
This side of the palace is mainly an office space, Liu Tao works here, and may have breakfast and lunch here, but he will not stay overnight, and generally not.
There is a room reserved for rest and accommodation, but it is not far from the house, so if you can, you can go back and rest.
As the hundred officials saluted Liu Tao, Liu Tao also saluted the hundred officials briefly. In this era, the emperor was not able to feel at ease and accept the bowing of hundreds of officials. Others should also return the salute appropriately, which is a matter of etiquette.
Of course, he is now the emperor, and it is up to him to modify it. It's just that he likes it and hasn't changed it.
Everyone still has a place to sit, and they have not learned from the Song Dynasty to modify the official hat. The officials of the Imperial Historical Observatory have been observing, talking to each other in the court, whispering, spitting or something, and after the court is dispersed, they will naturally go to them for trouble.
"I didn't expect us to finally come to this point......" Liu Tao looked at the ministers, with three points of pride, three points of emotion, three points of joy and one point of exhaustion, "Thank you for your support to me!" ”
"This is the duty of the minister!" The ministers didn't expect that Liu Tao would give priority to thanking them, and they were a little flattered for a while.
"You Aiqing should know that although I am a member of the Han family, I was just a child of a squire before I started. coincided with the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and the first emperor issued an edict to allow all states to form a volunteer army to crusade against the thieves, so that we had the opportunity to raise troops and make contributions. Liu Tao sighed.
The key for a squire's son to become the emperor of the Han Dynasty is that there are only six years before and after, which is indeed emotional.
When Liu Tao raised the army, who would have thought that this kid from the militia group would be able to reach this height?
"I know you can wait, and I won't talk nonsense." Liu Tao looked at everyone, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, "I won't forget those who fought the world with me when I was humble." I will not be stingy with those who have followed me in my hardest times......"
After a pause, he continued: "In the past, when the army was raised, there were mainly three righteous brothers to help me. There is also a master bookkeeper, Jian Yong, who manages logistics and works hard. There are also Liu Ge and Shangguan Yu, who lead the soldiers and horses for me. ”
At the beginning, they were canonized, and they were indeed the first to take refuge...... The ministers muttered silently in their hearts. This result is not surprising. In other words, if they were not the first to receive the reward, it would be difficult for them to accept the reward.
"Lu Yan, it's a pity that he's not here. Although the appointment has been issued, I will announce it again, and seal Lu Yan as the assassin of Liangzhou, the king of the five plains! Gohara County, as its fiefdom! Liu Tao solemnly announced.
Sure enough, the king was crowned, and everyone's hearts sank, these three people are Liu Tao's righteous brothers, whether the righteous brother is a brother or not, whether he is crowned a king or not, this is the result that the ministers are looking forward to.
Sealing the king means that there is a king with a different surname, which was there in the early days of the establishment of the Western Han Dynasty, but in the end he also found an opportunity to take back the feudal country. It didn't show up after that. But it is not sealed, the oath of 'sharing blessings' in the past is a joke.
"Your Majesty!" Lu Zhi was listed, "There is no king with a different surname in the Han Dynasty, there was no one before, and there should not be one in the future." ”
Lu Yan couldn't come forward, Lu Zhi came forward, and the Lu family couldn't afford the name of this king with a different surname.
The temptation is too great, and it also completely binds the Lu family and Liu Tao, after thinking about it carefully, the benefits outweigh the disadvantages, and it is simply a big harm!
"Haha......" Liu Tao laughed, "Teacher, don't worry, since I dare to seal it, then naturally I have a reason!" The Han Dynasty was knighted for military merits, and if it is not a military merit, it cannot be a marquis, so I will go further, as long as your military exploits are enough, there is no problem with being crowned king! ”
Seeing that everyone was shocked, he immediately added: "However, all princes only have the right to govern the country, and the pro-army must not exceed three hundred!" The feudal country can only be in the border county, and if no one is sent to govern it for three years, the feudal country will be recovered! ”
In the final analysis, it is to let the king be crowned and govern the border counties for him. If you don't have the courage to govern, then you will be taken back and feuded. If you instigate yourself, then the feudal country will be taken back, and no one can be blamed!
Without military power, it means that the country has to garrison troops there, and with the Jinyi guard watching, most of the problems are avoided.
It is not without benefits to be crowned king, first of all, open a government and set up a government, and at the same time, in his own feudal country, he is naturally also highly free. As long as there is no rebellion, then there will definitely be a lot of words in it.
"It's just that this king doesn't ...... the domain" Lu Zhi understood that he understood, but he felt more strange.
"It's okay!" Liu Tao replied, "If you want to become a vassal and resign from the official position of Liangzhou Assassin." ”
This also means that if the vassal kings want to become a vassal domain, it is estimated that they will not be able to do so until they retire at the age of 60. If you take good care of it and live for another ten or twenty years, you can just govern the country, and you won't be bored in your old age!
Now that there is such a shortage of manpower, even if he is crowned a king, he has to come out to work obediently!
Of course, you can also arrange for the prince to go back to help manage the kingdom, but such rules will delay the prince's career.
If you have several sons in the family, you can consider it. However, it is a pity that Lu Yan has only one daughter, Guan Ping of Guan Yu's family is still young, and Zhang Fei does not even have an heir.
"I see, I understand." Lu Zhi is not entangled, it's a big deal to go back and split up, Lu Yan will be his king of the five plains, and Lu Yu will inherit the Lu family of Zhuo County in his hometown in Zhuo County.
Liu Tao changed like this, and many people couldn't adapt to it, but a border king is at least better than not being able to be crowned king for a lifetime.
Before the change, it was almost impossible to be crowned a king, let alone a king, and a prince could not be a prince.
In history, Cao Cao first became the Duke of Wei, which was a temptation, and Xun Yu did not stop it. It was precisely because of this stop that when Cao Cao was the king of Wei, he completely lost patience with him and sent an empty food box.
"Third brother Guan Yu, General Feng Annan, King Dingxiang!" Liu Tao immediately announced.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Guan Yu slowly got up and saluted Liu Tao. The expression is very flat, and there is no sadness or joy to be seen.
Isn't it the king of the clouds? Many officials were a little surprised, shouldn't it be in the clouds after the five originals? Why did you jump directly to Dingxiang County, which is next door to Yunzhong County?!
Nonsense, now Yunzhong County has more tax revenue than Wuyuan County, Yanmen County and Dingxiang County combined. Such a border county, Liu Tao will give it to others, that is really a lack of heart!
On the contrary, the border counties of Dingxiang County, Yanmen County and Wuyuan County do not have much tax revenue, and they have to constantly transport materials to the past. Give it out, even if it is to be governed well, it is estimated that it will not be prosperous for hundreds of years.
"Fourth brother Zhang Fei, general of Anbei, stationed in Yunzhong County, crowned the king of Yanmen!" Liu Tao announced again.
"Yes!" Zhang Fei immediately got up and bowed solemnly.
In fact, I was a little moved, and I thought Liu Tao was a little interesting at first, so I began to contact him. Unexpectedly, seven years later, the two sides are not only brothers, but the other party has also become an emperor, and he has also been crowned a king.
It is rare that Wuyuan, Yunzhong, Dingxiang and Yanmen, the four counties are next to each other, just like the four brothers are united. I don't know if it was Liu Tao's deliberate or unintentional result, anyway, he was really excited at the moment.
