Chapter 103: The Pilgrimage Begins

Today, the Han dynasty is still essentially the first military political system, and it is common for military generals to serve as county guards, support the government and the people, govern the world, and civil officials take command and go on expeditions for thousands of miles.

Therefore, so far, the civil and military boundaries of the Han family are not very strong, and the boundaries between the two are only those who obey the orders of the prime minister, or the generals, or those who are born in liehous, or those who are in the family of generals and eunuchs.

Today, when the Han family has not completely exterminated the Xiongnu, the Liehou and the military meritorious family are superior to the scholars, the reason is very simple, the foreign enemy has not been eliminated, and it is not yet the time when the swords and guns are put into the warehouse and the horses are put in Nanshan.

Since Emperor Liu Bang, to this day, the Han and the Xiongnu have been fighting for a hundred years, and millions of soldiers and civilians have been killed and injured on both sides.

If you win, the whole known world will fall into the hands of the victor.

Lost, civilization dissipated, writing, etiquette, life, all disappeared into history.

This is a reality that is unacceptable to both sides, so both the Han and the Xiongnu are fighting for the fate of civilization.

Liu Xun, supported by Huang Xie, slowly sat on the throne and glanced at the civil and military.

The prime minister's general Bowang Hou Huoguang led the Jingjiuqing to come forward and bowed: "The ministers are the Son of Heaven, the Son of Heaven is eternal, and the Han Dynasty is eternal!! ”

Liu Xun has been practicing with Han Zeng, Huang Xie, Huo Shan and others for many days in Ganquan Palace for today's court meeting, and all the processes are remembered by heart.

"The Point Guard Is Here"

Liu Xun stood up and accepted the worship of Huo Guang and others, and Huo Yu sang as a ceremonial official: "The emperor is happy for you!! ”

So, Huo Guang took the lead and led the minister of Jiuqing to present a congratulatory gift to Liu Xun - a piece of beautiful jade.

Han Zeng immediately stepped forward and first took the jade bi offered by Huo Guang.

Liu Xun had already sat down again at this time, and to be honest, he felt a little unhappy in his heart - Dong Zhongshu's bastard! Actually designed such a cumbersome link!

But in fact, such a link helps to demonstrate the Son of Heaven's ability to control the ministers.

This is also the inheritance and sublimation of the tradition of respecting the monarch and respecting the minister since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

At this time, scholars and scholars also had a similar kind of 'The emperor makes me happy, I will help him do things.' The emperor's actions do not conform to his brother's wishes, and his brother will hang up the seal and leave's mentality.

In the history books of the Han Dynasty, things similar to the Son of Heaven made the minister unhappy, and there were many examples of the minister picking on the son.

And the scholars in the opposition are even more awesome and cool, the emperor has repeatedly conquered, and he refuses to be an official, and he grabs a handful.

So what this program actually conveys is the meaning of 'loyal to the king, and the king respects the minister'.

For this, Liu Xun is still clear.

So. In accordance with the established procedure, he got up again and said to Huo Guang, "I would like to thank the Prime Minister for the gift!" ”

Next, it was Wei Xiang, Liu Xun got up like this, and said, "Thank you!" ”

Other Jiuqing, Liu Xun though

I still have to get up, but this time I only need to say a word of thanks.

The congratulatory gifts of the remaining generals, generals, princes and princes, Liu Xun only needs to thank them.

As for the two thousand stones and the representatives of the county, Liu Xun needed to say, "Yes!" ”

This means that I have given you permission to give gifts.

Only the princes and kings who came to Chang'an in person to make the pilgrimage and the noble ministers at the county level needed Liu Xun to say, 'Thank you!!' ’。

There are established procedures and rules throughout the process.

And Liu Xun needed to come forward to accept the congratulatory gift in person, and it was only a courtier with more than 2,000 stones. Gifts such as geese and pheasants offered below 2,000 stones are received by Huo Yu on behalf of him.

Despite this, it took almost half an hour for such a round of procedures to come down.

At this time, the sky is getting brighter, and the sun rises in the east, shining on the whole world.

The Great Morning Ceremony kicked off.

The first thing Liu Xun had to do was to arrange the seats for the ministers.

This is serious business!

Especially today is Liu Che's first grand ceremony after ascending the throne. Therefore, it is particularly important - it is related to the ranking and status of the DPRK and China giants in this year and even in the next few years.

The seat of the minister in the Han dynasty is basically equal to the status of this courtier in the court in the future.

The order of the courtiers is roughly equivalent to the Politburo ranking of later generations.

For example, when Emperor Taizu Gao had the first great ceremony, Xiangguo Xiao He sat first. As a result, the Han family established the political order of the prime minister first and the imperial historian second.

During the reign of Emperor Taizong Xiaowen, the general of the chariot cavalry was ranked after the prime minister and the imperial doctor, which determined the qualifications of the general of the chariot cavalry for military affairs when the general was vacant and the general.

When Emperor Xiaojing ascended the throne, he put Neishi Chao Cuo and Lang Zhong Ling Zhou Ren in the forefront, which gave Chao Cuo the momentum when he was clamoring to cut the domain, and Chao Cuo was able to pull up such a big formation.

It is no exaggeration to say that the position of the courtier's courtier, and the number of times the Son of Heaven mentions the minister, determine how much power the courtier and the forces it represents will receive in the future.

Liu Xun's eyes were scorching, he looked around at the ministers, and said, "The prime minister has worked hard and made great achievements, and he will be given a throne!" ”

Huang Xie immediately assigned the little eunuch to carry the futon and the desk, and respectfully invited Prime Minister Huo Guang to sit under the royal staircase closest to Liu Xun.

Huo Guang thanked him and went immediately.

Don't think that the prime minister of the Han family will definitely be ranked first.

In the second year of Emperor Taizong's filial piety, it was at the Great Dynasty Ceremony that Taizong took the opportunity of Chen Ping's death to launch a sudden attack, and removed the seat of Prime Minister Zhou Bo, crushing the forces of the elders and ministers in one fell swoop, and achieving a great reversal.

As soon as the prime minister sat down, everyone's eyes were projected on the body of the imperial historian Wei Xiang.

Wei Xianggui is lucky, everyone knows that he relies on it

Folk fame.

Many people are curious whether the Son of Heaven will overturn the list of Jiuqing that was formulated before.

Even Wei Xiang himself was uneasy, for fear of losing his hard-won position as the imperial historian.

Wei Xiang knew very well that today he would adjust the forces of the government and the opposition and arrange his own henchmen and cronies. Today is the best day, taking the opportunity of the great court ceremony to openly adjust the political order and forces of the DPRK and China. Even making room for one's own people, this is what it should mean.

To be honest, since he took the throne, he has not attacked the DPRK and China, which is already commendable.

However, Liu Xun knew in his heart that today's great court ceremony would be a rearrangement and layout of his future government and political pattern.

Large-scale personnel adjustments and drastic reform measures, Liu Xun will not do now, and cannot do.

Because, no one!

For at least a decade, he will need to rely on the inherent bureaucratic and scholarly class to maintain his rule.

However, the government and opposition forces and the guidance of public opinion must be adjusted.

Besides, once the son of heaven and a courtier, the new official took office with three fires, and did not make a fuss, how can it be proved that he, the emperor, has mastered the overall situation and is the head of this empire?

Liu Xun turned his gaze to Wei Xiang, who was now a little nervous, and even so nervous that even the back of his hand showed his green tendons.

In Liu Xun's view, the Imperial Historian Yamen, the supervisory court of the Western Han Dynasty, its current status is far from enough to reflect its importance.

Liu Xun paused for a moment, giving the ministers a hint of suspense, and at the same time giving Wei Xiang a little warning, Liu Xun continued, "Imperial Doctor Wei Xiang! ”

When Wei Xiang heard this, he immediately came out of the queue and bowed his head and said, "The minister is here!" ”

"As a doctor of imperial history, Qing is responsible for the supervision of hundreds of officials, and his duties are far away, so he must be careful!" Liu Xunduan sat under the throne, looked at Wei Xiang who bowed his head in front of him through the beads, and said loudly, "I think that the weight of the world is the first in the governance of the officials, the officials govern the Qing and the society is safe, the officials govern the bad and the temple has a police, and the secretary bears the heavy responsibility of the safety of the society, and he is vigilant at that time!" ”

Wei Xiang listened, but sweat rained down.

Others may not understand the meaning of the Son of Heaven, but he hears it clearly.

The Son of Heaven was just beating him and warning him.

The Son of Heaven is very dissatisfied with the work of the Imperial Doctor Yamen in the past two months!

The Imperial Historian Yamen did not report a single corrupt official or corrupt official, nor did he arrest and report any case of bullying and oppression of the people by a powerful family.

This frightened Wei Xiang.

However, the only thing that comforted Wei Xiang was that the Son of Heaven was criticizing, and it was only a subtle criticism, which showed that the Son of Heaven still recognized him as a master of imperial history, otherwise, the Son of Heaven would not have said that, but directly hinted that he would beg his bones to go home and farm.

Of course, Wei Xiang also understood that if he didn't make some statements, then the Son of Heaven would definitely let him go home and farm!
