046 Spring Festival
As the saying goes, move your mouth at the top, and break your leg when you run below.
Whether it is to reward meritorious soldiers with land, or to use horses to recruit new government soldiers. Liu Bei just put forward an idea for these things, and it is up to the people below to implement these ideas into real administrative measures. It is also called in the name of grasping the big and letting go of the small. Of course, if you just let Liu Bei do the specific execution, he won't either.
Therefore, the officials below are really busy like dogs these days. Fortunately, in this Han Dynasty, although the administrative capacity of the Eastern Han Dynasty has decreased a lot compared with the Western Han Dynasty, it is still far more than any dynasty in later history. This is the only way to implement Liu Bei's ideas, which belong to the brain.
However, Chinese, no matter how busy a year is, they can't miss the Spring Festival. If you don't believe it, you can go to the train station and look at the annual Spring Festival army. No matter how poor you are, you have to eat dumplings for the New Year, right?
Therefore, Liu Bei also took his subordinates to celebrate the Spring Festival, and the Spring Festival at this time is also called Zhengdan. In other words, Zhengdan is the most official name of the Spring Festival in this era.
Zhengdan, why do I always have a feeling of singing. Liu Bei said secretly.
At this time, it was already the sixth year of Zhongping, the first day of the year of 188 A.D. and the first year of the year. An era of suffering, the day when the curtain officially began.
In Pingyuan County, it was about four or five o'clock in the afternoon, Liu Bei was in the mansion and feasted officials at all levels in Pingyuan.
Looking at the few Wenchen generals led below, Liu Bei suddenly felt that a huge sense of satisfaction filled his heart.
This is actually the traces left by the time travel before playing the Three Kingdoms game.
Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Dian Wei, Tai Shici, Hua Xin, etc., these famous ministers and generals in history, it can be said that they greatly satisfied Liu Bei's inner collecting habit as a traverser.
The famous generals, the traversers, are not all desperately collecting.
Although it is said that people who have not left a name in history do not necessarily have no talent, such as Cui Meng, Liu Bei has never heard of it.
But the people who left their names are definitely more reliable, after all, these people are people who have proven themselves in history.
If you don't talk about that, it's even comfortable to look at.
It's like if you play the game of the Three Kingdoms, are you willing to have under your hands, one Lu, two Zhao, three Dian Wei, four passes, five horses, six Zhang Fei, and Zhou Yu and Zhuge as military advisors, or a group of miscellaneous soldiers who have never heard the name of A, B, C, and Ding.
At this time, these people stood up and greeted Liu Bei, saying: "Chen Moumou, the birthday of the Lord." β
Then, they each presented congratulatory gifts, Liu Bei was overjoyed, and he felt a little complacent.
In the Han Dynasty, there are still some remnants of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.
In the Eastern Han Dynasty, this situation was particularly obvious.
Because the Eastern Han Dynasty established by Emperor Guangwu relied heavily on the local heroes of Hebei and Nanyang, it made a lot of concessions to the local government. In the early years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the "failure of Dutian" was the most obvious manifestation of political concessions. This kind of concession made the local area further bigger, and it became a family of gate valves.
The gate valve family, in fact, is another form of feudal monarch, many gate valve families, relying on the conquest system, for their own family to attract a large number of protΓ©gΓ©s, Yuan Shao is relying on his own four generations and three dukes, quickly became the first prince in the late Han Dynasty.
In the Western Zhou Dynasty and the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, in the words that modern people are more familiar with, it is "a vassal of my vassal, not a vassal of mine." β
For example, Cui Zhu killed his monarch, which was to order his retainers to kill the Duke of Qi Zhuang. Duke Qi Zhuang couldn't order Cui Zhu's retainers at all, and Duke Qi Zhuang climbed the high platform to ask for exemption from death, but everyone did not agree; asked to enter into a contract with Cui Zhu, but did not agree; He didn't even agree to a request to commit suicide in the Taimiao.
And in the Han Dynasty, it was more like "my vassal's vassal, and my vassal." "So it is a legacy of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.
In many cases, the Han people regard the county as a state, and the county guard is the monarch's father, calling himself a minister, and seeing the Taishou and the court, the relationship between the monarch and the minister is clear at a glance. The county government not only has a daily court, but also a big day, and even a three-day court to show respect for funerals, and its system is the same as that of a state. It is precisely because there is no division between the county and the state that the county taishou is regarded as the prince of the princes, and it is logical that his subordinates treat themselves as ministers.
As mentioned earlier, Liaoxi County guarded Liu Qi too much, broke the law with things, and was degraded to the south for the crime, and Gongsun Zhan, as an official, drove for Taishou. When Gongsun Chan left, he paid tribute to his ancestors and said: "In the past, he was the son of man, but now he is a minister. β
If you don't understand this Warring States legacy of the Han Dynasty, you can't understand why Gongsun Chan called himself a minister to Taishou.
Different from when he was the county commander, Liu Bei became the minister of the plains, and he was qualified to open a government to recruit scholars, for these scholars who were recruited by Liu Bei, although Liu Bei was not called a lonely widow, but the officials who mainly served as subordinate officials in the plains would still regard Liu Bei as a monarch, and would still call Liu Bei the main prince. Only Hua Xin is an exception, he is not a direct subordinate of Liu Bei, but after all, he was recruited by Liu Bei, just like Liu Bei's civil and military, he called Liu Bei the main prince.
Under normal circumstances, these people will not easily turn their backs on Liu Bei in the future.
Although it is said that "under the whole world, it is not the king's land; The shore of the land is not the king's minister". However, this kind of relationship between monarchs and ministers still needs a certain ceremony to confirm. This ritual is called "Counseling and Entrustment".
Han Song once said to Liu Biao: "The king is the king, the name of the monarch and the minister is determined, and I will defend it to the death, now I am your courtier, only the general's order is obeyed, and I can go to the soup and fire for you, and I will not give up." If I go to the capital, if the Son of Heaven makes me an official, then I will be a minister of the Son of Heaven, but only a general. I can't die for you. You have to think clearly, don't let me down Han Song. β
After Han Song was made an official by Cao Cao, Liu Biao was furious, thinking that Han Song had betrayed him, but fortunately, Liu Biao listened to his wife and did not kill Han Song.
It can be said that this relationship is very clear. Before the Son of Heaven appointed Han Song as a servant, there was no strict relationship between them as a monarch and a minister.
In many cases, the dual identities of the relationship between the monarch and the minister are intertwined. When there is a conflict between the relationship between the monarch and the minister, no matter which side you choose, you can gain the understanding of the people at that time. Choosing a king is loyal to the king and patriotic. Choosing Taishou is allegiance to the old master.
In the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the state pastoral system was implemented again, and it can be said that the entire Han Empire, although it cannot be said that the government decree did not leave Luoyang. However, the local area is already semi-divided. Now that Emperor Han Ling is here, he can barely suppress the situation, and when Dong Zhuo enters Beijing, the world will be in chaos.
At that time, Liu Bei will really be a hegemon.
When the toasts of many officials were finished, Liu Bei got up and saluted everyone. Everyone thanked them one by one.
I remember that Cao Cao attacked Zhang Xiu, and Zhang Xiu surrendered. Cao Cao invited guests and toasted people, so he asked Dian Wei to follow behind with a big axe, and he didn't know if someone didn't drink it, whether Dian Wei would be hacked to death with an axe. However, Cao Cao meant to demonstrate, so Liu Bei naturally couldn't do this.
Fortunately, Liu Bei is not the kind of person who will slam other people to drink.
After a round of toasting, Liu Bei returned to the main seat and said, "Gentlemen, please feel free." β
I thought in my heart that after thousands of years of co-authoring China, the wine table culture has not changed. First, the subordinates first toast the superior, and then the superior salutes back. It's just that in ancient times, it was a separate meal system, and in modern times, everyone gathered around a table.
After sitting down, Liu Bei glanced at the civil and military forces under his command again. With a move in his heart, the generals are all from the middle and lower levels, Cui Meng is a side branch of the Cui clan in Qinghe, and Hua Xin is a famous person in the world, and suddenly there is a feeling that the family has begun to seize power.
In the history of the Wei, Shu and Wu Kingdoms, although Cao Cao, Sun Quan, and Liu Bei were all born in the middle and lower classes, the generals of the Three Kingdoms were still considered to be middle and lower-class heroes, and Wenchen was all top door valves, which was about Liu Bei's Shu State was a little better, but it was not much better, mainly because Shu was remote, and the powerful families of Shu were not recognized by the Central Plains.
Cao Wei's military generals are a family group with Zhuxia Hou Cao as the core, known as the Qian Pei military general group, which can be regarded as the middle and lower class heroes or Shu landlords. As for the Wenchen, it is the Dashi group represented by Xun Yu, Xun You, Chen Qun, Guo Jia, Zhong Xuan, and Sima Yi. β
Sun Wu's military generals, at the beginning, were still foreign low-level scholars and local Haoqiang and Sun Jian's old ministry as the support of the armed forces, and the Wenchen side was controlled by the four surnames of Wu County, the Dashi clan in Jiangdong, and later even the military generals were controlled by the family clan, Sun Hao asked Prime Minister Lu Kai and said: "How many people are there in the court?" Answer: "The second minister, the five marquis, and more than ten generals." Hao said: "Sheng! β
It can be seen that the generals need to pin their heads to the waistband of their trousers and work hard, and there is still room for the middle and lower classes to rise, while Wenchen has been completely monopolized by the family gatekeeper.
Shaking his head, Liu Beixin said, this is all a shadowless thing, you can't mess around, you can only slowly think of a way in the future.
Everyone was full of food and drink, and they all said goodbye and left, Liu Bei returned to the house, this night's task was not over, so he changed his clothes and went to see Cai Yong with Cai Wenji. If you have to have a family banquet, otherwise you will be called unfilial.
This is called public before private, and many people who were younger brothers in ancient times had no human feelings. If Liu Bei dared to meet his father-in-law Cai Yong first, and then have a party with them, he didn't know what it would look like.
Cai Yong is still busy compiling dictionaries these days, and compiling dictionaries is a big project, especially when there are not enough helpers. Liu Bei took his wife, and had a family banquet with his father-in-law and brother-in-law, and this day was over.
After a busy day, until the middle of the night, it was finally over. Liu Bei was tired and half dead, and scolded secretly, at this time, it shouldn't be while watching the Spring Festival Gala absentmindedly, playing with his mobile phone, and complaining, this year's Spring Festival Gala is really ugly.
This is the tradition of the Chinese Spring Festival.
I don't know how relatives in another time and space are doing.
