Liu Fan lay on the bed and closed his eyes and pondered what Liu Hong said today, although there was still one last step away from the plan in his heart.

But those who walk a hundred steps are half ninety, and Liu Fan always feels that things will not succeed so easily.

Thinking about it, Liu Fan fell asleep.

The ancients divided the whole night into five watches.

If we count the hours of the Hereafter, nineteen o'clock to twenty-one is a watchday. Twenty-one to twenty-three o'clock is the second watch. From 23 o'clock to 1 o'clock in the morning, it is the third watch. From 1 a.m. to 3 a.m. is the fourth watch. Three a.m. to five a.m. is the fifth watch.

Just after the fifth watch, the entire Luoyang City became lively. It was not the people who were lively, but the entire princes and doctors.

Because the time has come for hundreds of officials to go to court.

In ancient times, the Son of Heaven paid attention to "diligent government", the so-called "longing for prosperity and sleeping", and the directors of the court did not dare to slack off.

Of course, the officials of the previous dynasty had to get up early, because they were scattered in various neighborhoods in Luoyang, and there was still a considerable distance from the palace of the previous dynasty.

At the beginning of the fifth watch, the fire is full of doors, and it will want to move towards the court, and the Xuan cover is like a city.

This is a true portrayal of the hundred officials in the hazy dawn.

Liu Hong has been in power for more than ten years and is not diligent in government. It is not even possible to look at the sun and the new day every month.

After Qin Shi Huang ruled the world, he reviewed 120 catties of music every day, and he couldn't finish reading it without rest. No matter how big or small, all political matters are decided by the emperor alone.

Today's meeting is a great court meeting, and Liu Hong personally ordered that all officials with a rank of more than 400 stone in Beijing must participate in it if they have nothing important.

Just after the end of the hour, the gates of the imperial city were opened. Hundreds of officials marched in a group and went straight to the South Palace.

"General, it is reported that yesterday His Majesty personally received General Zhengbei, sat on the couch together, and rode on the chariot together."

Zhang Wen came to He Jin. But seeing that He Jin's face was not good, he knew that he already knew about it, but he still said it. Because he does not belong to He Jin's party.

"What do you have to do with me!" He Jin's face flickered. Flick your sleeves and speed up your pace. This Zhang Wen gave him eye medicine, he didn't know.

"Lord Yuan, what do you think?" Zhang Wen pasted it again with Yuan Peng, the ruling Jinwu.

"General Zhengbei is a relative of the emperor, and the royal brother recognized by His Majesty himself, and the brother recalls the old days, and it should be so. We are officials of the same dynasty, so we should not make reckless remarks. Yuan said solemnly.

Yuan Peng is not from the Runan Yuan clan, but from the Chen Jun Yuan clan.

The Yuan clan of Chenjun is not very famous now, but after Yuan Peng became Situ, in the next 600 years, there are many talents, and they dominate the political arena of various dynasties in China.

Although Yuan Peng is in a high position, he has always been pure and has few desires and never speaks ill of people.

There are many parties in the court, but only Yuan Peng remains neutral and is not implicated.

Not only Sikong Zhang Wen was discussing Liu Fan, but the civil and military officials didn't care about the topic when they went to Nangong, and it would be the general who would enter the north for the first time.

Liu Fan also knew that today's matter was important, so he got up early.

Guan Yu, Huang Zhong, and Xu Huang were more nervous than Liu Fan. When Liu Fan got up, they were already waiting in the hall.

Chao for Tian Shelang, twilight to the Tianzi Hall.

It is best to use this sentence to describe the three of Guan Yu.

Morning and dusk say that time is fast, and status changes quickly.

"The general of Zhengbei will not enter the court for the time being, and will enter the palace with Xuan." As soon as Liu Fan and the others came out of the Tianlu Palace, a group of eunuchs came to inform Liu Fan.

Liu Fan understood the meaning of the eunuch. He was worried about going to court and didn't know where to sit.

There is no doubt that the general and the third duke are in the forefront of the court.

Taishi, Taifu, and Taibao are important ministers who are higher than the three dukes. All of them are held by respected veterans.

Taishi and civil and military, Taifu is the main text, and Taibao is the main martial arts. In all dynasties, the official position of Taishi is supreme, and after Chen Qun's nine products are in the system, these three official positions have always belonged to the first product, and the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty is the second to the third product. But none of these three official positions hold real power.

There are also those who hold real power, such as Wen Taishi in the Romance of the Gods, and Dong Zhuo appointed himself Taishi when he entered Beijing, and had an overview of the government.

Even if Taishi, Taifu, and Taibao are just fictitious titles, in the entire Eastern Han Dynasty, there is only one Taifu, and the current Taifu is Yuan Kui, Yuan Shao's uncle.

Whether it is this era or later generations, the standing position is very particular, and some officials have the same rank, but there is a big gap in the seats. If you sit in the wrong seat, you will offend people.

At the end of the day, outside the South Palace, the morning bell rang.

The ministers tidied up their clothes and crowns, and in front of the palace, they all took off their shoes. Enter the main hall in order according to the official position.

The long guard of honor extends from inside the palace to outside the palace. Royal majesty.

At this time, Liu Hong was sitting on the ninth-order majesty in the deepest part of the palace.

"Meet Your Majesty!"

After the ministers entered the palace, they stood on the avenue of the palace, holding the wat board in both hands, and bowed to Liu Hong.

"All the ministers are flat!"

Liu Hong replied. Although the sound is not loud, it can be heard far away in this silent palace.

After the ceremony, the civil and military officials sat down.

Due to the large number of people at this court meeting, those with small official positions had no seats to sit on, so they could only stand more aside.

"The time is the seventh year of Guanghe, and now the name of Guanghe is abandoned, and the Yuan Zhongping is changed, and from October of the Jiazi year, it is the first year of Zhongping." Liu Hong looked down and said slowly.

Historically, the time of pacifying the Yellow Turban was November, and the yuan was changed to December.

During this period, China did not use the Common Era. And use the sexagenary branch chronology.

The Ganzhi chronology was established in the period of the Yellow Emperor in ancient times, and originated from the five elements. It sprouted in the Western Han Dynasty and began in Xinmang. In the second year of Emperor Zhang of the Han Dynasty, the imperial court ordered the implementation of the Ganzhi era throughout the country. The lunar calendar of later generations is the Ganzhi chronology.

A, B, C, D, E, G, G, XIN, NON, and DE are the ten stems, that is, the heavenly stems.

Zi, Chou, Yin, Mao, Chen, Si, Wu, Wei, Shen, You, Xu, and Hai are the twelve branches, that is, the earthly branches.

Coordinate the order of stem and branch. Such as Jiazi, Yichou, etc., after 60 years, they returned to Jiazi. The cycle goes on and on.

A.D. 184 is the year of Jiazi, followed by Yichou, Bingyin, Ding Mao, Wuchen, Jisi, and so on.

The change of Yuan can also be called the imperial year, and the earliest era name is Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty. The year of Liu Che's accession to the throne was the first year of the founding of the Yuan Dynasty. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was very satisfied with his invention, and he reigned for more than 50 years, and used a total of 11 era names before and after. Since the beginning of Emperor Wu, since then successive emperors have ascended the throne, and most of them generally have era names.

The ministers didn't expect that the first sentence of the Son of Heaven at today's court meeting was to change the yuan.

What does this mean? The ministers couldn't help but think deeply.

"Congratulations to Your Majesty!" The ministers leaned over and said.

"The Yellow Turban Rebellion, once threatened the Beijing Division, so that I could not sleep and eat, fortunately the soldiers fought bloodily to quell the rebellion, and now the people who have made great contributions to quelling the rebellion enter the palace for reward, and give out the money in the West Garden to reward the three armies." Liu Hong raised his voice in the hall.

"The generals of Xuanping Yellow Turban will enter the palace to meet you!" Zhang Rang stepped forward and shouted.

The eunuchs outside the hall shouted with their voices, spreading farther and farther.

After a while, led by Liu Fan and Zhu Wei, Guan Yu, Huang Zhong, Xu Huang, Liu Biao, Sun Jian, Fu Xie and others walked up to the main hall.

"Meet Your Majesty!"
