Chapter 147: The History of Thorns

China has had a tradition of military parades since ancient times, and the deeds of "doing the Qi Dance" were engraved on bamboo slips and bronze utensils by the ancestors. A military parade can invigorate people's hearts internally and deter them externally. Zhou Tianzi inspected the six divisions, and the monarchs of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period often gathered their countrymen after the autumn harvest, reviewed them first, and then carried out large-scale hunting.

Chen Cheng's review of the army today has the intention of "inspiring people's hearts from within, and deterring them from surrender from without." As for who wants to deter people who have the heart of disobedience, they have different views.

On the second day of the parade, Chen Cheng summoned the envoys of the princes and the princes, and Yan Zhong read out the "Ming Dingguo is Order" in public. Yan Zhong ignored the shocked, panicked, excited and other emotions of everyone in the hall, and read the edict loudly.

He used to be a celebrity in Liangzhou, and later became a staff member of Huangfu Song, and then followed Chen Cheng back to Liangzhou. Now he wore the most gorgeous and solemn costumes, and wore a long black crown on his head, and read the edict made by him in front of the princes of Liangzhou and the envoys of the princes. This feeling is even better than the wedding night.

"The counties and counties of Liangzhou, except for Shuofang County, Wuyuan County, Lianhe, Lingzhou and other counties directly under the jurisdiction of the state pastor, the rest of the counties and counties are managed by the Taishou themselves......."

Yan Zhong's voice echoed in the hall, and not only the envoys of those princes pricked up their ears, but even Cheng Yi and Yang Qiu only had solemn faces. Chen Cheng and Yan Zhong's recent reform of the official system is simply a blatant attempt to establish a separate central government, although it still bears the name of Liangzhou Mu, which is essentially no different from being called emperor.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the "three provinces and six ministries" system is to compete with the imperial court, but only those with real wisdom can see the intention behind this system, that is, to integrate all the princes of Liangzhou. Yan Zhong read the edict as he observed the people in the hall.

For example, generals such as Zhao Yun, Li Kan, and Liang Xing all had serious expressions. Yang Qiu and Cheng Yi also had serious expressions, but they were a little different from the people in front of them, both of them had flashing eyes, obviously thinking about whether this edict would benefit them. And the envoys of those princes, all of them pricked up their ears and listened, but they were all people who could not be the masters, and if they could understand the edict and then relay it back, it would be considered that the task was completed.

Yan Zhong was distracted and sighed in his heart: It's a pity that none of the people present except for the prince and the prince can talk to anyone who can talk about big things. These people in the hall are just able to do things according to the goals set by others, and they are the ones who point out the goals to these civil and military generals!

He thought of Jia Xu, who was said to have gone to Bingzhou with Dong Zhuo, and said in his heart: If Jia Wenhe is here, he can discuss it with him.

The edict was not long, and the main meaning was to divide the current counties of Liangzhou into three types. The first is directly led by the Liangzhou pastor, who pays taxes on time, and if there is a disaster, the state pastor is obliged to send people to provide disaster relief; If an enemy is attacking, the state is obliged to send troops to repel the invading enemy.

The second is that princes like Cheng Yi and Yang Qiu, who are close to Chen Cheng, pay some taxes symbolically every year, and everyone helps each other and forms a military alliance. If the enemy attacks one of them, the other two are obliged to provide military and material support.

The last one is the place occupied by Song Jian, Han Sui, and Ma Teng's generation. The edict is written very tactfully, but the essence of it is; You take care of your own business, and we won't take care of you. But you'd better be honest, and whoever dares to send troops to attack the other princes will be welcome.

After listening to the edict, although Cheng Yi and Yang Qiu already knew the content of the edict in advance, they were still relieved. Both of them heard the sound of air coming out of the side at the same time, and then followed the sound to look over. They glanced at each other, and couldn't help but think of one thing at the same time: they had to stuff a few of themselves into Zhongshu Province to do it. Otherwise, one day you will come up with this order and that order, maybe it will be bad for you!

After reading the edict, Yan Zhong rolled up the bamboo slip and handed it to Chen Cheng's hand at the top of the book, then took two steps back, turned around and sat back in his place. Chen Cheng took the bamboo slip and put it on the desk, then stood up and said to everyone in the hall: "Once the edict has been issued, you should obey the order and do it, and there must be no mistakes." ”

Cheng Yi and Yang Qiu bowed down first, saying: "Obey!" ”

The other envoys also bowed, only Han Sui's envoy had an ugly face, looking at the people in the hall who were bowing down, not knowing whether he should bow down or refuse to obey the edict?

After the others sat back in their seats, Chen Cheng asked Han Sui's envoy, "I think the envoy seems to have something to say?" ”

As soon as he said this, everyone else turned their eyes to him. Among these people, some of them were fierce warriors on the battlefield who were like murders, and when they were stared at like this, the envoy felt that he was a fish on the board, and his breathing immediately became a little unsmooth.

Han Sui's envoy shook his heart and said, "Please forgive me for not being able to give an edict!" ”

"Oh?" Chen Cheng smiled and asked, "Why?" ”

The envoy pushed the case, walked to the center of the hall, bowed to Chen Cheng, and said: "I'm just a messenger, if you dare to agree to such a thing without permission, after you go back, General Han will have to kill me!" ”

"If you don't get things done, you're going to kill the messenger?" Chen Cheng sighed: "Han Taishou is really quite ancient. ”

He said to the messenger, "If this is the case, I will not force you to take a stand, lest you lose your life." Then can you bring the edict back to Han Taishou? ”

The messenger bowed again and said gratefully, "Yes!" ”

After the main event of the day was sung, the messengers took a copy of the edict and turned to leave. Yang Qiu, as the secretary of the military department, has a lot of things in hand. Now the Xianbei people west of Helan Mountain and north of Yinshan are ready to move, as well as the statistics of the number of garrisons in various places, the distribution of military salaries and military rations, etc., all need him to go back and come up with a response plan, and he also said goodbye to Chen Cheng, and then left in a hurry.

Cheng Yi looked at Yang Qiu's distant back, shook his head, and said, "It's so hard, it's better to just be too guarded." Wouldn't it be better to have a beautiful woman with wine every day? ”

Chen Cheng said with a smile: "Cheng Taishou also said before that if Yang Shangshu doesn't want to do it, you will take over as the secretary of the military department." Could it be that what I said before has not been counted? ”

Cheng Yi laughed out loud and said, "I just said that, if Yang Qiu really doesn't want to do it, then let me come." I want to taste this taste of holding an army of more than 100,000 people! ”

Yan Zhong reminded on the side: "Junhou, Fu Gan is still waiting outside, do you want to announce him to come up now, or let him wait a little longer?" ”

Chen Cheng waved his hand at Cheng Yi and said, "I still have something to do, so I won't laugh with you yet." ”

Cheng Yi said with a smile: "Please feel free, I'll just stay here to see what is the difference between the state pastor and the Taishou." ”

He laughed casually, but it angered one of the people next to him. Wang Yue is good at swordsmanship, and although he has dabbled in bow and horse gun skills, he is not very proficient. Therefore, even when the battle with the Huns was the most intense, Wang Yue was always in the rear and did not go to the front.

But that's not to say that Wang Yue didn't play any role. As a descendant, as a person in the lower reaches of history, Chen Cheng can clearly see the situation in the upper reaches and get a lot of useful things from the history of the upstream. For example: Jinyiwei, KGB.......

After arriving in Lingzhou, Chen Cheng ordered Wang Yue to collect local information in Lingzhou, mainly the number of territories occupied by each powerful and the number of tribes. Later, he allocated some money, food and manpower to Wang Yue, and asked him to inquire about the situation in the entire northern land by the way. Yan Zhong raised grain and grass in Lingzhou, of course, mainly relying on Xu Chao's cooperation, but Wang Yue also made a lot of efforts in it.

After the introduction of the system of "three provinces and six ministries", Chen Cheng added Wang Yue as the assassin of Liangzhou and ordered him to supervise the situation in the entire Liangzhou. Before the imperial court implemented the state pastoral system, the assassin was the highest governor in a state. Although in the framework of Chen Cheng's political system, the assassin no longer commands the state Chinese martial arts, and has resumed the original function of supervision, but for Wang Yue, being able to do the history of the state assassination is already something he didn't even dare to think about before.

Therefore, today, Cheng Yi made disrespectful remarks, and Wang Yue had the indignation of "the lord is worried about the humiliation of the ministers". He straightened up in his seat, pressed the long sword at his waist, and said angrily: "Cheng Taishou is careful in front of the king!" ”

According to the views of people in this era, Taishou and the lord can be regarded as kings. Now Chen Cheng, as a pastor of Liangzhou, is naturally the monarch of his Wang Yue and the monarch of Chengyi, so Wang Yue said so.

Cheng Yi first laughed at Wang Yue when he heard this, but when he saw that Li Kan and other generals on the side were glaring at him angrily, Yan Zhong also squinted his eyes and looked at him. So I couldn't help but be a little sneering. He touched his nose, he was slightly angry in his heart, but he didn't have a good seizure, so he had to bow down to the ground and say to Chen Cheng: "Drunk gaffe, Meng Lang for a while, please forgive your sins!" ”

When Wang Yue angrily reprimanded just now, Chen Cheng lowered his eyes, as if he didn't want to pay attention to it, but when he saw Cheng Yi bowing down at this time, it was not good to pretend that he didn't see it. He hurriedly stepped forward to help Cheng Yi up, and said, "If it weren't for the help of my feet, how could I sit here and give orders?" Hurry up, please. ”

He turned his head to Wang Yue again and said, "Cheng Taishou just said something like a joke, Wang Tingshi doesn't need to make such a fuss. ”

Wang Yue saluted Chen Cheng and returned to his seat.

Yan Zhong coughed on the side and said with a smile: "If you continue to talk about it, the people outside will be anxious to wait." ”

Chen Cheng then said: "Chuan Fu Gan entered the internal Hajj. ”

The pro-soldier said loudly in the hall: "The lord has an order, pass on Fu Gan to enter the interior to see!" ”

Outside the courtyard gate, Fu Gan and Yang Hui were sitting on the futon. Fu Gan is a crown and a scholar. Yang Hui also wore a robe with wide sleeves and a solemn hair crown. The two of them had been sitting outside the door for a long time, listening to the constant conversation in the lobby inside the door, and they could vaguely hear Yan Zhong's loud voice constantly ringing.

Fu Gan is the son of Fu Xie, the "Marquis of Zhuangjie", who was named the "Marquis of Zhuangjie" when the first emperor Liu Hong was alive, although he has a high reputation in Liangzhou, but until now he is still only white. First, he needs to mourn for his father. Second, he didn't look down on the princes of Shangliangzhou, and he was unwilling to go out.

When Chen Cheng first arrived in Lingzhou, he once went to worship Fu Xie. At that time, Fu Gan saw that the situation was unclear and didn't know who belonged to the north, so he had the idea of waiting to see whether it would be successful or not, so it didn't help Chen Cheng. Thinking about it now, he couldn't help but feel ashamed and regretful.

If he had helped then, how could he be sitting outside the door today? With his Fu Gan's talents, isn't he as good as Li Kan Liangxing's generation?
