Chapter 666: Ascending the throne as emperor

"That's right, that's what I think, hehe, now that you are about to ascend the throne as emperor, how can I, as a father-in-law, not give you some gifts? You're not happy with my gift, aren't you? ”

Lu Bu looked at Liu He with a smile and said with a little smugness.

Liu He naturally nodded in this regard, and said that he was very satisfied, and would definitely give the other party the corresponding remuneration, in addition, Liu He also left Lu Bu to live in the palace and reunite with his wife and daughter.

In the blink of an eye, it was the sixth day of the seventh month, and this day was the day when Liu He ascended the throne.

Early in the morning of this day, Liu He ordered people to hold the jade seal and the edict of the throne, worship heaven and earth, and read the sacrificial text written by Wang Cang, the head of the seven sons of Jian'an, to announce the ancestors of heaven and earth and ascend the throne as the emperor.

For a while, the auspicious clouds between heaven and earth were mist, the rui qi was shining, and there was a peaceful atmosphere between heaven and earth, and the civil and military officials, gentry and celebrities from all over the country, representatives of the common people, as well as the Xiongnu, Xianbei, Qian, Di, and Qiang peoples, as well as the representatives sent by the Western Regions, the Anxi Empire, and the Great Qin (Roman) Empire cheered and celebrated.

Subsequently, Liu He issued the first edict since the succession to the throne, and the edict was changed to Kaiyuan, with the next year as the first year of Kaiyuan, and this year still follows the name of the seventeenth year of Jian'an, and amnesty is granted to the world, except for those who are guilty of deception and rebellion, the rest of the people will be exempted from punishment, and announced the reduction of taxes and the levy of closing the market, and exempting the tax of thirty percent for foreign merchants who come to the Han Dynasty to do business, and announcing the establishment of post stations along the way from Chang'an to the countries of the Western Regions, providing food and water at low prices for merchants who come and go.

As soon as Liu He's edict was announced, it immediately caused a great sensation, and the surrounding Hu merchant representatives all rejoiced and knelt down to thank the Han Emperor for his grace.

In addition, Liu He also announced the establishment of mutual markets in the border areas with foreign races, allowing the Han to trade openly and freely with other races, and the Han could provide high-end luxury goods such as silk, tea, jewelry, and fine wine in exchange for cattle, sheep, and horses of other races to improve the living standards of the people.

This news also made the aliens excited, for them, cattle, sheep and horses are a costless business, anyway, they also live by grazing, and they can exchange these costless cattle and sheep for the materials of the Han Dynasty, which is really worth looking forward to for them, but the emperor of the Han Dynasty did not add food and iron tools to the tradable materials, which made them feel a little disappointed.

Later, Liu He issued an edict to posthumously praise the deceased son of heaven Liu Xie as the emperor of filial piety, and Liu He's father Liu Yu as the king of Yan, and his mother Wang as the imperial concubine, in addition to the male ancestors of the last four generations posthumously crowned as kings, and female ancestors posthumously crowned as princesses.

This is also a tradition and practice, in order to posthumously seal the five temples, in fact, as the Son of Heaven can posthumously seal the seven temples, but after all, Liu He inherited the throne of Emperor Han Xian, and he wanted to sacrifice the ancestors of Emperor Han Xian, so he adopted the system of princes and posthumously sealed the five temples to the ancestors.

The so-called five temples refer to the father, ancestor, great-ancestor, ancestor and ancestor, and for Liu He, as long as the four generations are posthumously sealed, because his ancestors are Emperor Guangwu of Han and Gaozu, the two were originally emperors, and there is no need to posthumously seal them again.

Later, the former Qin princess Huang was canonized as the queen, Huang's mother Cai was posthumously named the lady of Jingguo, his father Huang Chengyan was named the Marquis of Xiangyang (county marquis), and Liu Yu, the son of the former Qin prince, was crowned the crown prince.

In fact, for the canonization of Liu Yu as the crown prince, Liu He's heart is still full of apologies, the object of his apology is of course not Liu Yu, but Liu Chan, this person was originally his eldest son, but the bias is not glorious, in this regard, Huang Yueying, who knows the inside story, is also apologetic, has repeatedly asked Liu He to recognize Liu Chan, and renamed Liu Chan as the crown prince, Liu He resolutely opposed, because he knows that once he does this, it will definitely cause a big chaos.

And Liu Chan has no grievances about this, his origin and fate have already decided, he will never be the son of a great man, and if he can think about it, he will naturally have no troubles.

Later, Liu He announced that the country's officials and titles were reformed, whether it was the official system or the title, they were divided into nine grades, and each grade was divided into two levels, which was equivalent to positive and vice, and from the fourth grade downward, each grade was divided into upper and lower grades, and its salary ranged from 10,000 stones to 300 stones.

In addition, Liu He also announced the reform of the central bureaucratic system, the establishment of three provinces and six ministries, the three provinces for the Shangshu Order, Zhongshu, and the door are in charge of the Shangshu Order, the Zhongshu Order and the Shizhong, respectively, in charge of the implementation of the decree, the drafting of the issuance and the right to refute the power, of which the Shangshu Order is the grade of the two products, and the left and right servants are shot, each of which is the third grade, the Zhongshu Order and the Shizhong are from the second product, and the Zhongshu Shilang, the Huangmen Shilang, the three products of the Zhizheng, the six departments are the officials and the soldiers, and the ministers are the Shangshu, the three products of the Zhizheng, and the Yushi Tai is set up separately, and the chief is the Yushi Dafu, The position is from the second grade, under the imperial history of the Cheng, the post is three products, and then there are nine temples, the position is similar to Jiuqing, and the official position of the chief is the fourth grade......

After that, Liu He issued an edict, worshiped Xun Yu as the Shangshu Order, Chen Qun as the left servant of the Shangshu, Jia Xu as the right servant of the Shangshu, Xun You as the Zhongshu Order, Guo Jia as the servant, Zhuge Liang as the Zhongshu Shilang, Pang Tong as the Huangmen Shilang, the trial match as the Ministry of Officials, Ma Jun as the Ministry of Works, Pei Qian as the Ministry of War, Wang Cang as the Ministry of Rites, Lu Fan as the Criminal Department, as the Ministry of Works, Liu Ye as the Imperial Doctor, Xu Shu as the Imperial History......

Later, it was announced that the military system would be reformed, and the Metropolitan Governor's Office, the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion and the Metropolitan Protectorate were set up in the border areas, among which the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion had the highest status, which was from the second grade, and the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion and the Metropolitan Protectorate were equivalent to the positions of the three products.

From then on, the governors of the states and the county guards generally ceased to be in charge of the military, and their military positions were naturally abolished and replaced by local military officials.

So Liu He appointed Zhao Yun as the general, and concurrently served as the governor of the Anton Metropolitan Governor's Office, and ruled in Liaodong County; Zhou Yu was a hussar general, and concurrently served as the governor of Yangzhou Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, and his seat of governance was in Jianye; Ma Chao was the general of Wei and concurrently served as the governor of the Anxi Metropolitan Governor's Office, and his governance was located in Dunhuang County; Lu Bu was a general of the chariot cavalry, and concurrently served as the governor of the Yongzhou Metropolitan Governor's Office, and his governance was in Chencang; Wei Yan is the governor of the Anbei Governor's Mansion and is governed in Yunzhong County, and Lu Xun is the Governor of the Annan Governor's Mansion and is governed in Jiaozhi County; Guan Yu is the governor of Yizhou, and his seat is in Chengdu; Huang Zhong is the governor of Xuzhou, and his seat of governance is in Xiapi; Lu Yi is the governor of Jizhou, and his governance is in Wei County; Zhang Fei is the lieutenant of the department, and his position is the same as that of the governors; Xu Huang was also the governor of Jingzhou.

After that, Liu He announced that his previous personal army Bai Yu Army was named "Wan Cai", with Chen Zhi as the commander, the post is the third product, in charge of the Beiya palace guard, and Xu Chu is the general of the left Wuwei, Dian Wei is the general of the right Wuwei, responsible for the palace guard of the Nanya, Pan Feng, Pei Yuanshao, Deng Zhan, and Hu Cheer are the generals of the left and right guards, and the generals of the left and right guards are respectively from the three products.
