In the eighteenth year of Jian'an (213 AD), on the second day of the second month of February, Xiangyang City. Everywhere is full of lights, and the people who are connected are all elated, because Xiangyang, which has been a very ordinary county for 20 years, has now become the capital of the Han Dynasty after more than 20 years of governance by Liu Biaohe and Liu Cong! They naturally have reason to rejoice. And those who are officials are even more colorful, the emperor is coming to Xiangyang, and they will be promoted several levels for no reason!

Cao Cao may not have imagined that in several counties of Nanyang County, when Cao Cao and Liu Cong's army of more than 200,000 people launched a desperate hunt. Xiangyang ushered in Liu Xie, the son of the Han Dynasty. Liu Cong specially rushed back to Xiangyang from Xinye to preside over a grand ceremony for Emperor Liu Xie. Judging from the ceremony, this world seems to give people the illusion of singing and dancing!

I have to say that Zhang Song and Zhang Ziqiao's class teacher ability is still very good. It took only two months from Liu Cong's order to build the palace to Emperor Liu Xie's entry into the palace. Although most of the buildings have only been slightly altered. But the palace as a whole seems to be complete, at least in terms of the number of buildings. And all kinds of items for the Son of Heaven to enter the palace are readily available. People who don't know still think that Zhang Song used to be the person next to the Son of Heaven.

At the suggestion of Liu Cong and Xun Yu, Liu Xie, the son of the Han Dynasty, changed the name of the era to Changping, praying for the prosperity of the country and the meaning of peace in the world. This year (212) is the first year of Changping. At Liu Cong's insistence, the imperial court inherited the establishment of Xuchang. In this way, except for Xun Yu, most of the official positions in the imperial court were vacant, and they were filled by Liu Cong's subordinates in Jingzhou and Yizhou.

Liu Cong succeeded Cao Cao as prime minister. Prime Minister Han Cheng is the first of the hundred officials, the highest in Yulu, in charge of the Son of Heaven, and the assistant Wanji. In the early days of the Western Han Dynasty, the prime minister had the right to select officials, the power to impeach hundreds of officials and carry out punishments, the right to be in charge of the county and the country, the right to discuss and perform affairs of the general consul of hundreds of officials, and the right to refute the emperor's edicts and admonishments. Then the emperor and the prime minister jointly make decisions.

Due to the power of the prime minister, the Han Dynasty once abandoned the prime minister for a period of time and replaced it with Situ, or Da Situ. After Cao Cao established the Son of Heaven, he reinstated the position of prime minister in the thirteenth year of Jian'an, and appointed himself prime minister, beginning the road of centralization and dictatorship. Liu Xie, the son of the Han Dynasty, has really become an ornament since then, and Xun Yu, who hindered Cao Cao's further progress, naturally went from 'my son's room' to the reward empty box.

On the question of retaining the prime minister or restoring Da Situ, Liu Xie hesitated. But in the final analysis, now in Jingzhou's territory, he, the emperor, has limited right to speak. Xun Yu also advised Liu Xie to tolerate it for the time being. And even if Liu Cong proves his determination to support the Han family and serve the public wholeheartedly, it is impossible for him to fall aside. Otherwise, what is the significance of this sneak attack on Xuchang? If you let other ambitious people become prime ministers, haven't you worked in vain all these years?

Moreover, Liu Cong was a general of Zhengnan before, and he was also crowned a general, ranking above the three dukes. This time, he sent someone from Xuchang to bring the son of Han Tianzi to Xiangyang, and no one can do such a meritorious service!

After the prime minister, Xu Jing served as the chief lieutenant, the chief lieutenant is the second official position in the court after the prime minister, in charge of military affairs, the same status as the prime minister, the highest military attache position, the rank of ten thousand stones, gold seal purple ribbon. Officials mainly have a long history and a master book. Originally, Liu Cong wanted Xun Yu to be promoted to Tai Lieutenant, but since Liu Cong was the actual ruler of Jingzhou and Yizhou, Xu Jing, the Tai Lieutenant, basically became an ornament. Xun Yu is such a smart person, don't want such a false title.

And Xu Jing gladly accepted that although he and his younger brother Xu Shao were famous all over the world, due to the war, Xu Jing had been far away from the imperial court, so that the highest official he had ever been at the age of sixty-four turned out to be only a county guard. Now he has been promoted to the third prince all of a sudden. He doesn't care if he has real power or not! After all, being able to rank as the third prince in the twilight years is also the glory of the Xu family!

In order to balance Liu Cong, Liu Xie insisted that Xun Yu be the imperial doctor. The Imperial Historian mainly exercises the functions and powers of the deputy prime minister, is the assistant to the prime minister, and supervises all the administrative activities of the ministers including the prime minister.

Although the status of the imperial doctor is lower than that of the prime minister and the imperial lieutenant, because he can exercise the power of supervision, Liu Cong naturally cannot be underestimated. Of course, in order to stabilize the soldiers and persuade Xun Yu to submit to himself, Liu Cong did not object to Xun Yu's appointment. After all, Xun Yu is already in the middle of the service, and this time he has a meritorious escort, and there are really not many people in Xiangyang who can overpower Xun Yu.

Although Liu Cong's previous general rank in Zhengnan did not have to be low. But according to the ancient system, the general flew to a permanent position. Liu Cong has the fact of being a prime minister, so he can use the banner of the imperial court to collect talents from all over the world for rewards. The general has a general's office, and the prime minister has a permanent prime minister's office.

The Prime Minister's subordinate officials include: The prime minister is straight, assists the prime minister, reports illegality, and ranks thousands of stones. This position was filled by Duliang Taishou Liu Ba. The prime minister has a long history, assists the prime minister, supervises the officials, handles various government affairs, and ranks more than a thousand stones. This position is actually still the role of the big housekeeper, and Liu Cong kept it for Zhuge Liang, and he could take over after Zhuge Liang returned to Xiangyang from Chengdu in the future. In the future, if Liu Cong can go further, then Zhuge Liang will be the successor of the prime minister.

Other subordinate officials also have the prime minister's levy, and the rank is more than 600 stones. The history of the prime minister, the rank is 400 stones. The prime minister has a young history, and his rank is 300 stones. Dong Cao Peng, the leader of the county affairs, the appointment of the chief of history, went out to supervise the state of the county, and the rank was more than 400 stones. Xi Cao Peng, leading hundreds of officials, the advance and retreat of the officials in the main mansion, the rank is more than 400 stones. Discuss Cao, the mastermind of the discussion. Resigned, the chief commentator on the lawsuit. Playing Cao, the main chapter is playing. Thief Cao, the main thief. Decide Cao, the main crime of the law. Set Cao, the main book, the rank is more than three hundred stones. Hucao, the main household sacrifices to agriculture and mulberry. Fa Cao, the main post section of the Cheng Shi. Wei Cao, the main pawn is transferred. Cangcao, the main canggu. Bing Cao, the main soldier. Jin Cao, the main coin salt and iron matter. Counting, the main county and the country are planning. The main book, the province records all things. Squire Cao, the Lord informs the matter.

Under the three dukes is Jiuqing, Jiuqing refers to Taichang, Guangluxun, Weiwei, Taifu, Tingwei, Dahonglu, Zongzheng, Dasinong, and Shaofu nine institutions. At the same time, he held Jinwu and Da Changqiu, and the status and rank of the master craftsman were the same as those of Jiuqing, so they and Jiuqing were collectively referred to as Zhuqing. Jingbei Yin, Right Fufeng, and Left Feng Yi are the local administrators of the Jingshi region who are eligible to participate in the court council and have the special status of high and ordinary county governors, so they can also be listed among the secretaries.

But because Xiangyang is a temporary capital, officials such as Jing Zhaoyin are also vacant. Outside the imperial court, Cao Cao was released, and the rest of the princes were rewarded. Among them, Sun Quan was the general of Zhendong, Ma Chao was the general of Pingxi, Han Sui was the assassin of Liangzhou, and Zhang Lu was the general of the auxiliary Han. Needless to say, this is also Liu Cong's little trick, and this is also one of Liu Cong's purposes to support the emperor. For such a reward, the commanders of the princes in various places gladly accepted it, because the rank of the official was actually directly proportional to the strength and territory in their hands.

Liu Cong was more generous than Cao Cao and supported the emperor, so at least on the surface, these princes were closer to Liu Cong. It has a great effect on isolating Cao Cao.

And the civil and military officials who were originally under Liu Cong were basically promoted. Military generals are crowned with various miscellaneous generals.

After the merit reward, the beauty pageant enriches the harem and recruits a large number of palace maids and eunuchs. Looking at the palace that was gradually taking shape, Liu Cong knew that because of his appearance, the trajectory of history had taken a major turn, and if he could defeat Cao Cao in Nanyang, the two sides would be in a confrontation for a long time. In addition, Sun Quan occupied Jiangdong and Jiaozhou, although there was a big gap in strength compared with Cao Cao and Liu Cong. But relying on geographical advantages, it can also compete with Cao Cao and Liu Cong. A new Three Kingdoms model is coming!

The Three Kingdoms are still the Three Kingdoms, but the trajectory has completely changed, the emperor has arrived in Xiangyang, this Cao Cao is only afraid that he will soon be king, and Liu Cong's next target is not Cao Cao. Although the Han world is a pit with one emperor and one king! After everything was arranged, Liu Cong announced to the world in the name of the Son of Heaven, I believe that soon the whole of China will learn about Liu Cong's support for the Son of Heaven, and Liu Cong's prestige among the people will soar!

The originally very prosperous city of Xiangyang is destined to become more prosperous because of the emperor's arrival. However, under the cover of this prosperity, there are also many undercurrents. In particular, Liu Cong's secret battle with the emperor has officially begun!

On this day, Liu Cong hurriedly entered the palace to face the saint, and it happened that Xun Yu, the imperial historian, was also there. After saluting, Liu Cong was still angry!

"Your Majesty, Weichen has something to do!"

"Oh, it's Buchang, why are you so angry?"

"Weichen heard that His Majesty wants to summon Jiang Li to attack?"

"Jiang Li? Wen Ruo, is there such a person? Emperor Liu Xie pretended to be stupid and asked Xun Yu.

"Your Majesty, which Jiang beauty was Jiang Li yesterday!" Xun Yu reminded in a low voice.

"Oh, I remember, roommate such a woman? What's wrong? Liu Xie turned to ask Liu Cong.

"Your Majesty must not summon this woman into the palace!"

Liu Xie smiled: "What do I think the prime minister is doing?" I have sent someone to verify that this woman is currently single, and the purple color is good. My harem is also empty, and the prime minister will not ......."

"Your Majesty doesn't know, this woman is from a Qinglou, I'm afraid it will damage Your Majesty's prestige!" Liu Cong still didn't give up.

"The prime minister's words are wrong, Your Majesty saw this woman yesterday, this woman is in good shape, it must be difficult for others to know her past identity, not to mention that His Majesty is alone in this harem. As long as Your Majesty doesn't dislike it, it doesn't hurt! ”
