Chapter IV: The Military Rank System
Li Rong prevented Liang Fen from continuing to express his stance on Wei Zhong's matter, so Liang Fen smiled and retreated back to the column. But many other officials, many of them still stood up one after another and fought with Zu Yue, so that Sima Ye couldn't make up his mind, and finally had to say: "Let's temporarily detain, test their hearts, and be willing to surrender." β
If he is really willing to submit, as Liang Situ said, he can be used as an example to win people's hearts - of course, I will never reuse this traitor! If he is still as virtuous as he was just now, and his heart is still towards Pingyang, then he will have to be killed, and presumably the ministers will not have any more complaints.
After retreating from the dynasty, Liang Fen pretended to go to Shangshu Province, and naturally stood shoulder to shoulder with Li Rong, Li Zhongsi took the opportunity to lower his voice and said, "Why did Situ Gong refuse to kill Wei Zhong?" It must be known that killing Wei Zhong is actually the intention of Da Sima. β
Liang Fen was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and asked rhetorically: "If Pei Wenyue wants to take Wei Zhong's life, he can commit suicide, why should he be escorted to Luoyang again?" Isn't that a desire for forgiveness? β
Li Rong shook his head and said, "Definitely." The world knows that Wei Zhong once disobeyed the great Sima Xiangong, and the great Sima committed suicide, fearing that people would slander his fake official affairs and report personal grievances. However, if Da Sima Shi has no grievances against Wei Zhong, why should he write a book, Yun 'abandoned his mother state and attached himself to Hu, and followed the treacherous deeds of Tianli'? Situ Gong thought about it carefully, is this not a clichΓ© of 'abandoning the ceremony and attaching the thief'? Then the great Sima Shi hated Wei Zhong for satirizing his ancestors, which can be known. β
Liang Fen suddenly realized: "I'm old, I can't recognize this...... Thanks to Zhong Si's reminder, however, how to remedy it now? β
Li Rong replied: "Before Your Majesty, I saw Xun and Hua's two servants, and Taifu did not speak, but it was the mind of the great Sima that could be hinted at, and tomorrow the three ministers will ask to kill Wei Zhong, then Wei will not be able to live." β
Liang Fen bowed his head and said: "In this way, I will bother to think about it - and since it is the intention of the Great Sima, it must not be made to die well." β
So at the instigation of Li Rong, the matter was discussed again the next day, and the direction of the wind changed instantly, not only did the Taifu Xun group, the left servant shoot Xun Song, and the right servant shot Hua Heng all made it clear that Wei Zhong should be executed, but many officials who pleaded for Wei Zhong yesterday - such as Liang Fen - were also silent and no longer hard top. Even Shangshu Liang Yun also proposed: "The crime of conspiracy to commit rebellion should be punished by the three clans, and now Wei Zhong has no clan to be punished, and the crime of not being punished, and his whole body - please talk about the car split!" β
Someone stood up to express his objection and said, "Zigao (Kong Chuan) once admonished the king of Qi, saying that the car crack is a punishment without a way. Shang Shu invited the Son of Heaven to split Wei Zhong today, wouldn't he tempt the king to be a traitor?! β
Liang Yun's proposal was naturally instructed by Liang Fen, he had already done enough homework on it, where could it be so easy to be refuted, he immediately snorted lightly from his nostrils, and asked rhetorically: "I don't know what Zigao advised, which King of Qi is it?" Qi Wei Wang Hu, Xuan Wang Hu? Or is it the king? β
The other party couldn't answer, so Liang Yun said: "This statement comes from "Confucius Congzi", but "Hanshu Art and Literature Chronicles" does not contain his book, it must be a false pretext, and the words of false pretenses, how can it be trusted?" β
Liang Yun believes that "Confucius Congzi" is a fake book, not written by Kong Kun, the eighth grandson of Confucius-because "Hanshu Art and Literature" searched all the works of the time, and never mentioned this title at all, and no one in the entire Han Dynasty has ever mentioned or quoted it. This book has suddenly appeared in recent years, and the first to promote its content is Wang Su, the originator of "Wang Xue", and Wang Su is famous for forging and tampering with classics, and the author of "Confucius Congzi" is also this Wang Su!
Of course, although many people doubt this, no one really dares to declare it, because Wang Su is not only a scholar of the previous dynasty, but also wants to be Sima Zhao's father-in-law...... But although Liang Yun didn't dare to accuse Wang Su, he also dared to pat his chest and say: "This is a fake book, I can't believe it!" β
Then he turned to Sima Ye, holding the wat board in his hand and said: "The country's punishment is only great and hanging, but at this time, Hu Kou is raging, Chixian is overturned, the first emperor is dusty, and people's hearts are in turmoil, then non-capital punishment is not enough to show the power of heaven and deter Xiaoxiao!" Or think that the human body is torn apart, it is too painful, there is a dry heavenly harmony, and it violates the teachings of the saints, and the minister is to ask for the example of Shang Ying. β
Shang Ying was tortured by a car split, but it is clear in the history books that he was killed first (whether he was killed in battle or executed, it is not clear), and after the body was transported back to Xianyang, he was torn apart in the market.
Che Crack can be said to be the most brutal death penalty at that time, even more than the beheading (Ling Chi has not yet been "invented"), but it is not a state punishment, since Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty commuted corporal punishment, no dynasty will clearly write this kind of torture into the law, and the actual number of executions is very few. As a result, misunderstandings gradually arise, and some people feel that the so-called "car splitting" means "the car splitting its corpse", rather than taking the living to tear them alive with five cars.
Liang Yun therefore said, let's not care what the original intention of the car split, just forget about the car splitting Wei Zhong's body, so as to show the country's heavy punishment of traitors, and not to interfere with peace and bad benevolence, wouldn't it be good?
Sima Ye himself also hated Wei Zhong - who told you not to worship me yesterday and not give me face? Immediately agreed. Naturally, there will be a few ministers who stand up to admonish them, but Sima Ye looked around and found that from the Xun group and Liang Fen down, the important ministers did not speak, and Zu Yue simply jumped out to help Liang Yun quarrel with the opposition, and he showed the prestige of the Son of Heaven, and slapped the table and said: "I have made up my mind, don't repeat it!" β
Shangshu Province prepared a letter on the same day, approved the issuance, escorted Wei Zhong to the East City to be beheaded, and then used five ox carts to dismantle his body and display it in the city. Most of the people of Luoyang applauded, but of course, there were also those who felt that such a non-punishment was still too harsh, and it only belonged to a small part, so it didn't matter.
ββββββββββ
Thousands of miles away, Pei Gai didn't know that Wei Zhong had died so miserably, and after he broke Hu that day, he stayed in Pujin for two days, and then led his army back to Dali. The county lieutenant made the people sweep the streets, knelt down on the side of the road, and welcomed the big Sima into the city, but Pei should look left and right, and said in his heart, Isn't my wife in the city, why didn't she come to pick me up?
went straight to the county office, and after dealing with the corresponding affairs, Pei Gai went to the back hall to find Xun Guan Niang with full doubts. I saw Xun Guanniang kneeling in the inner room, bowing her head and asking for sin. Pei Cai hurriedly stretched out his hand to pull her up, and asked with a smile, "What is Madam's crime?" β
Xun Guanniang hung her head and said: "The husband is outside, and the concubine can't guard the house, leaving Chang'an to come to Dali without permission, and doing military and political affairs in vain, it is not what a woman should do - I implore my husband to punish ......"
Pei Cai smiled and groaned, pulled Xun Guanniang to sit side by side on the couch, stretched out his hand to lift her face, and the couple looked at each other, and then he said: "Who said that women must live in peace in the inner hall and not do it without permission?" Madame is worried about my safety, but she is anxious to come from Chang'an, and I am too late to rejoice, how can I blame you? However, what happened in the meantime? β
Of course, Zhen Sui, Wang Ze and others would not run to Pei Gai to tell Mrs. Xun about the situation, and since the joint army, they have fought fiercely with Hu Kou, and they have not had time to carefully tell Pei Gai what happened in Dali City, so Pei Gai just listened to it from various channels, saying that Mrs. once scolded Zhen Sui and others, and asked them to give first aid to the **** body. Tell me more about it, and I'll hear it.
Xun Guanniang didn't dare or conceal it, so she told Pei that everything since she left Chang'an. Pei should have listened, and he was silent. Xun Guanniang peeked at her husband, and saw that there didn't seem to be much anger on his face, and her heart was a little settled.
After a long time, she is naturally familiar with Pei Gai's temperament, and knows that her husband's personality is still gentle on the whole; Due to the limitations of his identity, he gradually shows joy and anger outside, but he is much more honest at home. Thinking about it from this point, if Pei Gai was really angry about what he had done, he should immediately reprimand, instead of pretending to think about it, and don't look for an opportunity to get angry.
Sure enough, Pei should have thought for a while, and said to Xun Guanniang seriously: "Madame, that is, I am really in a critical situation, and Qing should not go to the front line and die with me-what's the benefit of dying together?" A child still needs to be cared for by his wife, how can he waste his life? β
Xun Guanniang said in her heart that you blame me for this, and I humbly accepted it - hurriedly bowed my head. But then I listened to Pei Gai and said: "And don't scold Zhen Sui and Wang Ze, so that the coordination of the bad self is ......"
Without waiting for Xun Guanniang to refute or apologize, Pei Gai continued: "If it is not a woman or not, who Yun woman cannot participate in political affairs and military affairs?" In the past, if it weren't for my wife's participation in my father's political affairs, I might not have been able to give birth to Wancheng. But if you are not in his position, do not interfere with me, even if your father is here, and do not interfere with my military! β
His explanation was much more than Xun Guanniang expected, but with Xun Guanniang's education when she was a child, as well as the social trend at that time, she naturally found it difficult to understand Pei Gai's idea of equality between men and women, and just thought that her husband loved me very much and was willing to indulge me. hurriedly apologized: "The concubine was anxious for a while, and she said nothing, and she also reflected deeply afterwards - fortunately, General Zhen and others did not harm the state affairs because of the woman's words." Only after that, General Chen was asked to defend the city, and he was helpless, and he hoped that his husband would be forgiving. β
Pei Gai said that I just groaned, and I was thinking about this matter-"The system is disordered, and the subordinates are unknown, if it weren't for Mrs. Came forward to make Chen An guard Dali, I am afraid that I would not be able to speak - this is Mrs.'s work, how can it be too much?" β
Fortunately, Xun Guanniang was in Dali City that day, and she could suppress the county captain, otherwise, the county lieutenant and Chen An would fight, there would be no owner in the city, and it would be difficult to resist foreign enemies.
The root cause is that the system is not clear, and I have temporarily set up some new positions, including county lieutenants, but because they violate the old system, they cannot be completely integrated into the entire system.
Since the Qin Dynasty, the government bureaucracy has been gradually improving, but in the late Han Dynasty, the Wei and Jin dynasties, and until the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the bureaucratic system happened to be at an important point of change, even without Pei Gai's new policy, similar incidents could have happened. The system of the Qin and Han dynasties is basically based on the position of the product, and if you hold any position, your official position will be as high as possible, and the system is still clear; After the introduction of the "Nine Grades Zhongzheng System" in the Wei and Jin Dynasties, character gradually affected official character, making the character official system gradually formed, and the level of official position was no longer judged by position.
On the one hand, it is an adjustment of the old system, for example, the Shangshu Order has been a central and important position since the Later Han Dynasty, but under the Zhilu system, it has always been a thousand stones, which is equivalent to the order of Jingxian, and under the official system, it is the third product, which is located between the public and the secretary, and finally matches the name and reality. But on the other hand, it has also made some noble and unimportant positions gradually rise to the top of the ranks, and the actual pro-people officials are far inferior......
Pulling it back, now it is the two parallel ways of rank and official products, and there is no distinction between civil and military, and the chaos is even more obvious. That is, in terms of the events in Dali City, the county lieutenant is theoretically responsible for military affairs, but he does not belong to the three armies of Da Sima, so he can not sell Chen An's account, if it were not for Xun Guanniang's pressure on his taste, he would never back down.
Pei should be influenced by later generations, and he is more identified with official products - in the past two thousand years, the system of marking the level of official positions from the first product to the ninth grade has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, unless history lovers, who knows what the meaning of terms such as Bigong, Zhong 2,000 stones, and 800 stones each represents - so he has considered completely replacing Zhilu with official products. In addition, the ranks in the army are even more chaotic, and there is an urgent need for unification.
The military most needs a strict relationship between superiors and subordinates, and only by being clear about the superior and inferior can the organization be strengthened.
As soon as Pei Gai's brain turned around, he was no longer at ease in the room, and said a few perfunctory words to Xun Guanniang, and said that the political affairs were not finished, and he would not sleep in the room tonight. He immediately ran out and called Guo Pu and other cronies to discuss in detail the issue of rank in the army.
As a result of the discussion, a military rank system was established in accordance with the law of later generations, and corresponded to the official character. At present, this policy is only applied to the three armies of the Great Sima, and the basic order is as follows:
Yipin is a general, but Pei should be himself.
The second rank is a general, temporarily vacant; Sanpin is a general - at present, there is only one general in the army, Tao Kan, the protector.
Sipin is a lieutenant general, and the current four-pin generals in the army include Wuwei Zhen Sui, Zhongjian Guo Mo, Zhongli Liu Yetang, Xiaoqi Beigong Chun, Zhenwu Lu Yan and Fenwu Lu He. The basic function of a lieutenant general is to be the commander of a brigade, or he can be promoted to the rank of commander or assistant -- a new brigade is set up on the battalion, three battalions are one brigade, and three brigades are one army.
Wupin is a major general, serving as a brigade assistant or battalion commander. Liupin is a captain and serves as a battalion deputy or department governor. Qipin is a lieutenant and serves as a deputy or captain of the department. Bapin is a second lieutenant and serves as a deputy or platoon leader. Jiupin is a sergeant, serving as a platoon deputy or captain. Below the commander, the soldiers are divided into three levels: junior sergeant, sergeant, and second sergeant.
This is the hierarchy of regular soldiers, and auxiliary soldiers are in the same position, and the corresponding ranks are one level lower. In addition, not only the three armies of the Great Sima, but also the staff officers of the shogunate and the local governors of Guanzhong, as long as their positions are related to the military, they are all awarded military ranks - for example, although Pei Wei does not have the title of general, he is both the commander of the army and the lieutenant general of the Great Sima; Guo Pu was the secretary of the shogunate and was given the rank of lieutenant; The county lieutenant is like a six-rank captain (it just so happens that the county is a five-rank captain).
Those who have military ranks can be bound by military law, and travel must be marked with a symbol to distinguish them so that they can be recognized. Pei Cai ordered people to make armbands, the general and above are red, the lieutenant and major generals are ochre, the captain is blue, the lieutenant and second lieutenant are blue, and the non-commissioned officer is black......
