Chapter 173: The Great Jin Imperial Court

Liu Chong, the governor of Qianzhou, waved his hand to dozens of civil and military officials under his command, and the sound of discussion suddenly disappeared, and Liu Chong immediately said: "No matter what, that Liu Ji of Chengyin County has successively won victories against the grassland Hu people, which is a good thing for our Great Jin.

Liu Chong is a member of the Great Jin clan, and the relationship with the current Son of Heaven of the Great Jin Dynasty is quite close, and in terms of generation, he is the same generation as the Son of Heaven of the Great Jin Dynasty.

The current Son of Heaven of the Great Jin Dynasty is called Liu Heng, who is only 15 years old this year, not yet an adult, but has been on the throne for five years, and the power of the Great Jin Dynasty is currently in the hands of several powerful ministers and the Empress Dowager of the Great Jin.

But don't look at the Great Jin Emperor Liu Heng is young, but he has great ambitions, Liu Heng hopes that he can save the Great Jin from the storm, so he actively participates in the government affairs of the imperial court, although he can't call the shots, but because he is a biological mother and son with the Empress Dowager Zhou, Liu Heng has also done a lot of things through the Empress Dowager Zhou.

Liu Chong, a talented person in the clan, can be the state pastor of Qianzhou, it is completely arranged by the emperor Liu Heng of the Great Jin Dynasty, in addition to Liu Chong, the emperor Liu Heng also arranged some other talents of the clan to serve as local officials in various parts of the Great Jin Dynasty, and the emperor Liu Heng hopes to strengthen the management of the local court by the imperial court, and don't let the will of the imperial court even go out of the capital.

And Liu Chong is also loyal to the emperor at present, Liu Ji has achieved such a big victory over the grassland Hu people, which is exciting news for the Great Jin, and Liu Chong is still willing to ask the court for Liu Ji to ask for credit.

At this time, a man dressed as a scribe said to Liu Chong: "My lord, that partial general of Chengyin County, no matter how many Hu people there are in his hands, it is true that he can use hundreds of thousands of troops, we had better win over this partial general, remove the Hu cavalry under his command, at least there are tens of thousands of Jin soldiers, just the number of Jin soldiers, it will exceed the defenders of our Luyang City!" ”

Liu Chong nodded and said: "This official also thinks so, if we can subdue Liu Ji, then our strength in Qianzhou will be doubled, and it will play a very big role in promoting this official to control the entire Qianzhou for the emperor." ”

The official dressed as a scribe continued: "My lord, then my subordinates will send someone to contact that General Liu and find out what he has to say." ”

"Good! This matter will be handed over to Li Quan, and if you can let Liu Ji take refuge under the command of this official, you should be credited with the first credit. ”

Beijia is a civil official whose status is second only to that of the state pastor, and this Beijia Li Quan of Qianzhou has been following Liu Chong for many years, and was brought from the capital when Liu Chong took office as the governor of Qianzhou.

Zhang Chutao, the Taishou of Jue'an County, and Liu Chong, the governor of Qianzhou, were then sent to the capital of the Great Jin Dynasty almost at the same time, which was also the Canglong City of the Great Jin Dynasty, which immediately caused the shock of the Great Jin court.

In the Taiyuan Hall of the Imperial Palace in Canglong City, Liu Heng, the son of the Great Jin Dynasty, sat on the emperor's throne, and just behind the emperor's throne, a curtain was drawn at this time, and Liu Heng's biological mother, the Empress Dowager Zhou, sat behind the curtain and listened to the government.

Hundreds of high-ranking officials of the Great Jin Dynasty stood under the emperor's throne, lined up on both sides of the main hall of the Taiyuan Palace.

"The Empress Dowager, the Emperor, Liu Chong, the Governor of Qianzhou, and Zhang Chutao, the Taishou of Qianzhou Ju'an County, are all on the performance of the Chengyin County Guard General of Chengyin County, Gui'an County, Qianzhou, the partial general Liu Ji asked for merit, and the partial general Liu Ji successively defeated the 30,000 army of Wuheng and the 90,000 army of Lou Fu in the Xishan Pass of the Anxing Mountains, and then the partial general Liu Ji led his troops to attack the grassland, and destroyed the Cangxiong tribe, one of the five major tribes of Lou Fu, which is the biggest victory of my Great Jin Dynasty over the grassland Hu people in decades, and the minister believes that the imperial court should reward the partial general Liu Ji, In order to encourage hundreds of thousands of border army soldiers in the north of the Great Jin Dynasty. ”

In the Great Jin Dynasty, in addition to the military department, there are also the officials of the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Punishment, the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Households, these six captains are the six ministers with the highest official positions in the current Jin Dynasty.

Originally, above the six Taiwei, there was also the official position of prime minister, the head of a hundred officials, but for some special reasons, the Great Jin Dynasty did not appoint a prime minister at this time.

Liu Heng, the son of heaven of the Great Jin Dynasty, has not been in power at this time, although Liu Heng sits on the throne of the emperor, but he does not have the right to participate in political affairs, just an ornament, the political affairs of the Great Jin Dynasty are completely decided by the six Taiwei and Zhou Taihou.

Empress Dowager Zhou said behind the curtain: "What Captain Dou said is reasonable, the partial general named Liu Ji should indeed be rewarded, how many years, the mourning family only heard that the city of the four northern states was breached, and the city was destroyed, this time to achieve such a great victory, even the Cangxiong tribe, one of the five major tribes of the Loufu tribe, was destroyed, and if it was not rewarded, it would chill the hearts of the soldiers of the northern border army." ”

"What the Queen Mother said is very true!"

"The Queen Mother is wise!"

"The Queen Mother is right!"

Dou Yan, the chief lieutenant of the Ministry of War, as well as Yang Zhong, the chief lieutenant of the Ministry of Officials, Wang Zhihuan, the chief lieutenant of the Ministry of Rites, Zhao Boran, the chief lieutenant of the Criminal Department, Sun Mingtao, the chief lieutenant of the Ministry of Industry, and Zheng Kai, the chief lieutenant of the household department, after the Empress Dowager Zhou finished speaking, they all expressed their approval of the Empress Dowager Zhou, and other officials also echoed the voice.

"As for how to reward that Liu Ji, you six captains will discuss it!" Empress Dowager Zhou continued.

"The queen mother, the minister thinks that Liu Ji can be promoted to a guerrilla general, and at the same time reward Liu Ji with one hundred taels of gold." Captain Zheng Kai said.

When the officials below heard this, they couldn't help but pout, Liu Ji made such a great contribution, only promoted to guerrilla general, and rewarded a hundred taels of gold, which inevitably showed that the court was a little childish.

"The queen mother, the partial general Liu Ji is not as old as the weak crown, although he has made great contributions, but he suddenly mentioned a high position, and it is inevitable that there will be a situation of pulling out seedlings to help him grow, so the minister suggested that he only need to reward a hundred taels of gold, and wait for Liu Ji to be older and more stable in the future, and it is not too late to promote his official position." Yang Zhong, the captain of the Ministry of Officials, said.

As soon as Yang Zhong's words came out, some officials in the hall immediately looked at each other, everyone knew at this time that Liu Ji should not have any foundation in the imperial court, otherwise the bigwigs of the imperial court would not be so stingy.

As soon as Zheng Kai, the chief lieutenant of the household department, heard the words of Yang Zhong, the chief lieutenant of the Ministry of Officials, he immediately changed his words and said: "It is still prudent for Yang Taiwei to think about it, and the minister agrees with what Yang Taiwei said." ”

The reason why the six Tai Lieutenants were able to control the government was because they were almost one nostril out of the air, Yang Zhong, the Tai Lieutenant of the Ministry of Officials, and Zheng Kai, the Tai Lieutenant of the Household Department, both said that they would reward one hundred taels of gold, and the other four Tai Lieutenants also said that they only needed to reward Liu Ji with one hundred taels of gold.

Liu Heng, the Son of Heaven, sat on the emperor's throne, and opened his mouth to say something at this time, but in the end he didn't make a sound, and he was still in front of the decorations of the Taiyuan Palace.

Liu Heng knew in his heart that this partial general named Liu Ji must have no foundation in the imperial court, and what was not as good as the weak crown was just an excuse.

Liu Ji's great merit was only rewarded with a hundred taels of gold, which really made Liu Heng want to scold, but he knew that he couldn't speak at this time, and he couldn't change the decision of the six captains if he said it, and if he didn't do it well, he would make a mistake, Liu Heng believed that his mother would not let Liu Ji's reward be too outrageous.

Empress Dowager Zhou coughed behind the curtain and said, "It seems that the mourning family should still follow the reward that Taiwei Zheng said before!" With such a great victory, it was unreasonable for the imperial court to reward too little, so Liu Ji was promoted to a guerrilla general and rewarded with a hundred taels of gold. ”
