Chapter 273 On Meritorious Deeds and Rewards, Increasing Officials and Becoming Knights (I)
Life is short, be happy in time, live like a dream, and be happy...... Since returning to the Wushou Hou Mansion, Xiao Yi has completely degenerated, swords and guns are put into storage, horses are put in Nanshan, eating, drinking and having fun, drunk and gold-obsessed, don't don't drop the beauty of the small day, summed up in four sentences: 'Hold your wife and listen to the fetus jumping, take your sister to swim in the landscape, set up a banquet and drink wine during the day, and work hard to create a villain at night! ’
It's a pity that happy times are always very short-lived, half a month later, a major event came, forcing Xiao Yi to crawl out of Gentle Township, put on a vermilion robe, hold an ivory wat, and have no choice but to go to the court...... The Prime Minister's Mansion passed down the Jun order: Hundreds of civil and military officials will gather in the imperial city, reward meritorious deeds, and increase officials to knighthood!
The Han family system, the most important military merits, this Guandu War, annihilation of hundreds of thousands of Yuan army, is the rise of the Cao Ying group, the biggest victory, the soldiers fought bloodily, suffered heavy casualties, and made great achievements, it should be rewarded, the living are added to the official into the knighthood, the wife and the son, the deceased solemnly sacrifice, the family!
In the past ten days, the Prime Minister's Mansion has been busy day and night, that is, counting meritorious personnel, discussing what rewards to give, Prime Minister Cao Cheng has a heart all over the world, heroic and dry, rewarding meritorious ministers, and has always been generous, therefore, a group of civil and military officers are full of expectations, all waiting to be promoted to make a fortune, and seal their wives and sons!
Therefore, Cao Cao decided to convene a court meeting, just above the Golden Palace of the Imperial City, to reward a group of meritorious heroes, and also take advantage of this opportunity to use military victories to seek some political benefits, which is called: the way of civil and military, complement each other, and stabilize the country, all of which are indispensable!
…………………………………………………………………………………………
The wind is blowing and the clouds are flying,
Weijia Hai Nei Xi returned to his homeland,
Ande warriors are guarding the Quartet!
………………………
On the Qilin Palace of the Han Dynasty, the drums are singing in unison, melodious and tactful, hundreds of young eunuchs, lined up neatly, raised their heads, and sang the "Song of the Great Wind" repeatedly with their immature voices, singing the great cause of Emperor Han Gao, and praying for the eternal stability of the Han Dynasty...... However, it is really ironic that the dignified Han Dynasty relied on a group of eunuchs to support the scene!
At the same time, the little emperor wore a five-clawed golden dragon robe, wore a twelve-crowned crown, held the sword of the Son of Heaven, accompanied by several eunuchs, slowly walked into the Qilin Palace, sitting on the throne of the Nine Dragons, his lips were closed, and his face was gloomy, like a wood carving clay sculpture!
"The Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty, blessed by the gods, dominates the mountains and rivers, and Yongchang for generations - long live! Hooray! ”
Next, hundreds of civil and military officials, according to the size of their official positions and titles, lined up and walked into the Qilin Palace, knelt on the ground on their knees, and bowed three times and bowed nine times.
As for Cao Cao himself, wearing protective soft armor inside, covering the prime minister's costume outside, holding the sword of Yitian, standing proudly on the imperial steps, together with the emperor of the Han Dynasty, accepting the worship of the ministers, and the clear-eyed people found out that the position where Cao Cao was standing was one step closer to the throne of the Nine Dragons!
"All Aiqing will be exempt from courtesy! --The prosperity of the Han Dynasty depends on the loyal assistance of the ministers, and I am very happy in my heart! ”
Although he was a puppet emperor, Liu Xie still straightened his waist, raised his voice, and tried his best to reflect a trace of majesty, but a pair of bright eyes were full of melancholy, today is a good day for the ministers - to add officials to the knighthood, to seal his wife and son, but it is his own bad day - the Han family is in danger!
Since Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, the world is in turmoil, the princes are all around, the Han family is in decline, the imperial power is sluggish, Liu Xie is running around, almost losing his life, and then he came to Xuchang City, and he is also a puppet in the hands of the ministers, and he has no actual rights at all.
Now that the Guandu War is over, Yuan Shao's army has been defeated, his men and horses have been completely lost, and the forces that originally restrained each other have lost their balance.
Now what Liu Xie hopes for is that the Yuan father and son will grit their teeth, stick to the land of the four states of Hebei, and support them for a few years as much as possible, or will a new force rise to contain Cao Cao from the outside, so that he will not dare to act rashly, and he will slowly plot to get rid of the ministers in one fell swoop, and Zhongxing Dahan Sheji!
The problem is that there are many heroes in the world, Yuan Shao, Sun Ce, Liu Biao, Liu Zhang, Zhang Lu...... Divide the city, hold heavy troops, all are powerful princes, who can contain the traitorous male...... When it comes to martial arts and the art of controlling people, they are really too far behind!
Thinking of this, the little emperor-Liu Xie's eyes turned, and in the sequence of military generals, he found a little black face - restrained and immovable, it was the great Sima-Xiao Yi...... "Xiao Lang is resourceful and has a heavy army, if it can be used by me, the big Han still has a glimmer of life - it's a pity?" ”
"Yuan Shao's rebellious ministers and thieves, raised troops to the south, tried to conquer Xuchang, usurped the Han River, fortunately relied on the soldiers to serve their orders, fought bloodily before the battle, and finally defeated the strong enemy...... Is the court meeting held today, just to discuss how to reward the meritorious people? ”
Just like the previous court meeting, after the courtesy of the monarch and the minister, the little emperor did not say a word, obediently made a wood carving clay sculpture, the military and political affairs of the court, Cao Cao made a decision, and did not ask for any instructions at all!
"During the Guandu War, the prime minister came to the battle in person, commanded well, defeated the strong with the weak, and broke the Yuan thief, and no one can compare with him in terms of merit!"
"The Prime Minister assists in government affairs internally, and seeks rebellion externally, and the prosperity of merit is unprecedented, and he must be rewarded with a generous reward before he can be rewarded for his merits!"
………………………………………………
Regarding the matter of the reward, the Prime Minister's Mansion has already decided, and today when he came to the court, it was just a formality, and hundreds of civil and military officials said that the Prime Minister was wise and martial, guarding the country and the society unharmed, and should be the first hero of the Han Dynasty, but how to reward is a problem?
In terms of official positions, Cao Cao is the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, in charge of military and political affairs, and the power in his hands is unparalleled in the world; On the title, he was canonized as the Marquis of Wuping County, with 10,000 households, and as a courtier with a different surname, he has reached the pinnacle; In terms of treatment, the sword goes to the palace, the worship is unknown, in and out of the palace, as you like, you can be called the uncrowned king!
With such a high official position and title, it is really not easy to add a reward, so some sycophants proposed to crown Cao Cao as a duke and give Jiuxi, similar to the affairs of the Duke of Zhou, and assist the governor of all military affairs.
You must know that Han Gaozu - Liu Bang swore an oath to kill the white horse: 'If you are not surnamed Liu, you will not be crowned a king, and if you are not a meritorious hero, you will not be a marquis', so the highest reward for a courtier is a marquis, even Huo Guang, Dou Xian, Liang Ji, Dong Zhuo...... Several powerful ministers, flying and domineering, deposed the Son of Heaven, and did not dare to destroy the ancestral system!
Of course, there are exceptions to everything, in the more than 400 years of reign of the Han Dynasty, the only duke is - Wang Mang, who was once knighted: 'Duke of Anhan', in charge of all military and political powers, and the descendants of Han self-reliance, as the 'new dynasty' emperor for eight years, therefore, the Han monarchs and ministers are particularly sensitive to the duke, once Cao Cao obtains this title, will he become the next Wang Mang?
Fortunately, the fear did not become a reality, the proposal to canonize the duke was vetoed, or Cao Cao personally vetoed it, and it was strictly forbidden for anyone to discuss things, not because he was treacherous and gentle, and he was not interested in the duke's position, but because he had a last resort!
Is the current trend of the world, Cao Cao coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, and won a great victory in Guandu, which is already the strongest force, but it is already the strongest force, but it is a hundred-legged insect, dead but not stiff, Yuan Shao still has the land of Hebei, and his strength cannot be underestimated, plus Sun Ce, Liu Biao, Liu Zhang, Zhang Lu...... Dividing one side and holding heavy troops in hand should not be taken lightly either!
Once Cao Cao established himself as a duke, the princes used this as an excuse to form a multi-party alliance to jointly attack Xuchang City, as the saying goes: it is difficult for a tiger to fight a group of wolves, and Cao Jun is brave and good at fighting, but also can not stand the princes' alliance, even if it is a fluke victory, it will have to pay a heavy price, which will have a very adverse impact on the pacification of the world's Kyushu!
Moreover, the 400-year foundation of the Han family, intertwined, deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, has a lot of loyal ministers, willing to live and die with the Han Dynasty, even Xun Yu, Xun Yu and others, their hearts are also inclined to the Han family, once Cao Cao is called 'duke', the court will inevitably be torn apart, a bloody storm will fall, I don't know how many people will be killed and injured!
There are princes outside, eyeing the tiger, and there are Hanchen inside, swearing to die, it is with these two points in mind that Cao Cao vetoed the matter of the duke, if you want to dominate the world, you must have martial arts, but also have the right to strategize, there is no need to set yourself on fire for a small false name!
Cao Cao didn't want to be a duke, but under the great achievements, he couldn't do without a reward, this is really a problem, fortunately, the ministers can't do anything else, but the way of power is very proficient, after some discussion, he came up with a workaround, a total of three rewards:
First of all: Cao Cao's title of 'Regent Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty', the governor of all military and political affairs, ranked above the civil and military officials, used to coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes, after all, he can only do it but not say, now there is no problem, with the name of 'regent prime minister', he can be clear and straightforward, govern on behalf of the sky, and override the ministers, it can really be said that one person is below, ten thousand people are above!
Secondly: to Cao Cao to add three counties of food, a total of 50,000 households, this number exceeds the county marquis, can be called a prince's fiefdom, this is called 'no prince's name, but there is a prince's reality', lose some false name, in exchange for great benefits, do not suffer at all!
Finally: Confirm Cao Cao's direct ancestor, is one of the founding heroes - Cao Shen, and announced to the world, recorded in history, you know, Cao Cao is the eunuch adopted grandson, born extremely filthy, suffered from the eyes of the world, now well, whitewashed his origin, for the future political career, has a great help!
"The Prime Minister's achievements are unparalleled in China, and his benevolence and virtue are unparalleled, and it is natural and righteous to receive these three rewards...... All the people of the world, wait and see! ”
In this way, as soon as the three rewards came out, Cao Cao nodded frequently, expressing great satisfaction, the ministers slapped their horses, and the praise was endless, the little emperor rolled his eyes, unhappy in his heart, but he had no choice but to stamp the jade seal and officially promulgate the world!
Next, the great dynasty will continue, and after some discussion, the second meritorious hero - Xiao Yi was determined, how to reward this great Sima has become a big problem again, Xiao Lang has high merit, and there is no reward?
