Chapter 118: Settle Luoyang

After looking at the scenery outside the main hall, Zhou Bian soon came back to his senses, shouted flat, and asked the ministers to raise their bodies, and the Taishi shouted again, "Please take a seat for my king." Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info" The ministers also shouted.

Zhou Bian sat in a high position in the eyes of the ministers, to be honest, although the son of heaven is very dangerous and tired, the feeling of being high is still very attractive, at least at this moment Zhou Bian is intoxicated.

After the Son of Heaven took the throne, the ministers turned around and went to find their place. According to the way that had been set a long time ago, the royal courtiers led by Taishi sat on the right hand side of the king, and the Luoyang courtiers led by Tian Yi sat on the left hand side of the king, each sitting in the original order, and the scene was not panicked.

Zhou Bian looked down, and saw that there were far fewer people on the right hand side than on the left hand side, it seems that the royal family is really withered, but there are still more courtiers in the royal family from today onwards. And the closer ones on the right hand side can only recognize Tian Yi, and after the few old men behind them is General Long, and then Zhou Bian can't see clearly, and I don't know where Tu Ping and Xin Zhongli, who have already taken refuge in Wang Shi, are sitting, as for Ning Yue, who has long been familiar with him, he can't see the shadow, it seems that although he is close to Zhou Gong, his status is still quite low, and he is also a new doctor, which is still far worse than the family of Lei Shiqing.

After the ministers sat down, as the spokesman of the royal family, the Taishi stood up to speak, and the Taishi usually appeared on large occasions. The Taishi held a roll of bamboo and began to read it, which was written by the royal family overnight, first of all, the zirconium text that announced the world, which meant to praise the king and show that the royal family had returned to Luoyang. At the same time, Luoyang is named Wangcheng, Ming Palace is named Wanggong, Cheng Zhou is reduced to accompany the capital, and Cheng Zhou Palace is reduced to accompany the palace.

Everyone knows this content if they don't read it, so just like the court meeting when Zhou Bian ascended the throne, many ministers listened to it drowsily, and they needed to know that they were most likely to get sleepy after lunch.

And after reading this paragraph, it is the point, and many ministers are in good spirits again, because the next thing is a series of disposals for the royal family to return to Luoyang.

So first of all, it must be about Zhou Gong, Zhou Gong was unfortunately assassinated, and the royal family naturally wanted to condemn it, in fact, if it wasn't for Ning Yue's testimony, I am afraid that many people would think that the royal family did it. And the body of the Duke of Zhou was still in Gongyi, so he ordered Tianyi to take it back for the Gongzhi and bury it according to the rites of the princes. Taishi continued to read, to everyone's surprise, the royal family announced the abolition of the hereditary title of Duke Zhou, recaptured the fiefdom of Luoyang, and the son of Duke Zhou was named Gongzi, that is, a scattered name, but the total was still calm, after listening to the Taishi reading, knelt down and kowtowed a few heads and quietly left the Ming Hall alone.

Looking at the back of Gongzhi's departure, although many old ministers in Luoyang were unbearable, but no one opened their mouths to send them off, which made Zhou Bian sigh too, Zhou Gong was not very popular in Luoyang.

Immediately after the Taishi changed a roll of bamboo slips, this time it was read out as a reward for the meritorious ministers, first of all, the first merit was Bai Gui, but because of the relationship between the queen mother, only from the doctor to the doctor, this point was changed on the road, and the original name was the ancient official Xiangguo. Looking at Bai Gui's figure standing up and bowing, Zhou Bian couldn't help but feel a little guilty in his heart, but he couldn't say it clearly at this time, so he could only wait for Bai Gui's forgiveness in the future. Bai Gui is naturally a person who knows the severity, and after the salute, he returned to his place, but there is nothing abnormal.

In line with the principle of reward, Tu Ping and Xin Zhongli were named doctors.

He also rewarded a lot of gold, anyway, this was left by Zhou Gong before, and now is the time to buy people's hearts, Zhou Bian is very generous. Then there were Zichang and Pang Xing, who followed Zhou Bian to Gongyi, and they were all promoted to commanders, and Li Ding and Wang Yufei, who surrendered in Gongyi, were also announced as commanders, while Wang Sunjian, Liu Yun, Zhou Zhan, Zhang Hu and others who raised affairs in Luoyang were promoted to centurions, and their soldiers had to wait for the future to make up. As for the rest of Sima Tu and the others who have contributed, they only have rewards and no officials. The whole army of the royal family was rewarded, and the Taishi only mentioned it, and the army had its own detailed list of military merits, which was left to be issued in the future.

Finally, there is the disposition of the old ministers of Luoyang, which has also been discussed a long time ago, focusing on the stability proposed by Zhou Bian, and the excessive power of a city has to be so. Luoyang's former ministers and nobles are all according to their previous positions, everyone used to do whatever they did, how much money was made public in the past, and a small number of people were not to blame for the disrespect of the royal family in the past, and there was also a slight reward for Tian Yi and others who took refuge in the royal family first, and this moment to win people's hearts is still the first.

As soon as this resolution came out, the audience was coaxed and discussed, and it seems that the focus of Luoyang people's concern is here. Looking at the left-hand side below, and even some people jumping up and down, walking back and forth between several seats, Zhou Bian couldn't help frowning, this is really a mass meeting, it seems that the habit of holding a meeting above and holding a small meeting below is not unique to the royal ministers, and Luoyang is also undisciplined.

But now he has no prestige in front of the Luoyang nobles, so Zhou Bian frowned and let go again, he endured many things, do you still care about this? After a while, the conversation was much quieter, and then suddenly a loud voice sounded, "Taishi, Ning Yue was so disrespectful to the royal family before, did he really let him go like this?" ”

I didn't think that this Luoyang people still cared about Ning Yue so much, Zhou Bian couldn't help but look into the depths of the stage, but he couldn't see where Ning Yue was sitting at all, but Zhou Bian could think of Ning Yue's mood at this time, it was really depressing, he had done so many things for Zhou Gong before, but now he has been repeatedly taken out by everyone to say, it is really thankless.

Seeing someone ask, the Taishi was also stunned, but then looked at the king, only to see the king nodding slightly, the Taishi turned around and said majestically, "Didn't Fang Cai say it very clearly, don't blame the past, and everyone will be in their place." ”

"Oh."

"Hmm."

Immediately afterwards, there was a meal below, but fortunately, the soldiers standing guard at the entrance of the palace from the royal family to the king and the main hall had already adapted to it. After a while, it seemed that the nobles in front of them had discussed, and they elected Tian Yi to come out as a representative, only to hear Tian Yi stand up, first arched his hand to the Taishi, and then bowed to the king, and said, "King Qiyu, a certain local nobles in Luoyang, who have not been ruled by the royal family for nearly a hundred years, and today they are back under the rule of my king. ”

"Please!" Zhou Bian still had some respect for this Tianyi, and hurriedly raised his hands.

"The king, the first thing that a certain person is most concerned about is the issue of changing the law, Cheng Zhou Wangji's three chapters of the change, a certain person has heard about it for a long time, but he doesn't know that the king will be the same in Luoyang?"

Since Tian Yi spoke, the entire Ming Hall was quiet, especially after the question, everyone's eyes in the entire hall were focused on the king, and no one paid attention to the king's age at this time, because everyone knew that the king's words and deeds would determine their own fate.

Being watched by so many people, Zhou Bian was also a little flustered, and blindly looked at the audience, but just saw Bai Gui, only to see Bai Gui shaking his head slightly at himself, Zhou Bian, who had forcibly calmed down, immediately understood what Bai Gui meant, so he nodded back and said loudly.

"Ladies and gentlemen, although many of you are the first time you have seen this king, and many of you don't know this king yet, but from today on, we are all a family, all members of the Zhou royal family. Therefore, whether the revival of the royal family or the continued decline is related to you, the royal family is prosperous, and you will also be developed, and the royal family will be lost, and you will not be much better. The changes implemented by this king in Chengzhou are an effort to revive the royal family, just because now the princes and countries are changing the law, and the royal family remains unchanged, so they can only be backward and beaten. If it is beneficial to change the law, the royal family will benefit, and naturally everyone will be indispensable, if the change is unfavorable, then it will be canceled immediately, and all in all, everything that is beneficial to the royal family and beneficial to you will be implemented. At present, for the Luoyang area, this king has just arrived, and he is not familiar with it, so this king can only say that he will not change the law in the near future, and everything will be carried out as it is. The king hereby solemnly promises to you that within this year, Luoyang will maintain the status quo. ”

Maintain the existing system in Luoyang, although Zhou Bian is unwilling, but can only do so, everything is based on stability first, of course, this status quo will not be too long, Zhou Bian also wants to learn from a great man like a big hand, fifty years unchanged, but Zhou Bian can't afford to wait.

But there were obviously people in Luoyang who were not satisfied with this promise, and as soon as Zhou Bian's voice fell, someone said loudly, "What about next year, will it change?" Your courtiers in Chengzhou have a fortune, but what about my Luoyang, does everyone also have a fortune? ”

Everyone wants to have the good thing of taking money for nothing, and I heard that Cheng Zhou's courtiers took more money than they collected from the fields, so there are many people who are concerned about this issue.

"Within this year, the status quo in Luoyang will remain unchanged, and as for next year, it depends on the situation." Zhou Bian replied simply, if he agreed in a hurry, he was really afraid that he would not be able to achieve it.

The bottom began to discuss again, and after a while, I only heard Tian Yi cough a few times, and said loudly, "The old man has no objection to the king's decision. The second question is that many of my big families in Luoyang make a living from businessmen, and many children of big families do not want to engage in politics, but only want to engage in business. In addition, there are also some heads of the family who ask the old man for instructions from the king, and I heard that the royal family also has some unique industries, can you share some profits with everyone? ”

Thinking about it, the latter question is the point, it seems that many people are envious of the soju business, Zhou Bian smiled lightly, there are still many things you don't know. However, he said, "My royal family is already poor, but it is all supported by the royal industry, so my royal family is supportive of business, and the relevant encouragement or regulation regulations may be promulgated in the future, but please rest assured, it will never have a negative impact on everyone's business." As for the unique property of the royal family, it is not that it cannot be shared with everyone, but my royal family has always attached great importance to merit, and those who have contributed to the royal family, the royal family will consider cooperating with it and sharing the benefits, so as to replace the fiefdom, and you will also see that the interests of the merchants are far greater than the production of the fields. ”

"The old man has no opinion on this, it's just that many nobles don't want to join the army or politics, so I don't know if there is any possibility of cooperation?" Tian Yi asked.

"This is not impossible, in order to pursue greater interests, the royal family will also consider cooperating with those who are good at business." Zhou Bian nodded, after all, the royal family will not interfere too deeply, only after the commercial tax matures in the future, the royal family will gradually sell the industry, after all, as a ruler, participating in the market that formulates its own rules is not conducive to the normal development of the market economy.

Tian Yi nodded after hearing this, it seemed that this answer still satisfied him, but he asked again, "There is another matter, but it was asked by the old man's friend Long." The king is in charge of Luoyang, I don't know how to adjust the military of Luoyang, is everything unchanged as the king said? ”

Of course, this has to change, not being able to control a city militarily is equivalent to not controlling the city, but this issue is not what most Luoyang nobles are concerned about, so only a few generals in the audience are listening, and many of the rest of the people are taking care of themselves and starting to talk to each other and digest the answer of the king. "This king has decided that General Long is still in charge of the Luoyang division that was previously under his control, and is stationed in the military camp in the west of the city, responsible for the defense of the south and west, and the city gate on the east side is under the control of Tu Ping Tu Dafu. The royal palace is guarded by the royal forest army brought by the king from Chengzhou, and no one is allowed to enter without being summoned by the king or approved by the prince, supervisor and others. This is the case for now, and there will be a major adjustment before the year, which will be notified at that time. Stability should be the first priority in the army, General Long, do you have any opinions? ”

When General Long heard the king ask about him, he hurriedly stood up and saluted, "The old man has no objections. ”

Tian Yi didn't have anything to ask at this time, and sat down after saluting. Zhou Bian couldn't help but sigh out, it was really hard to deal with this group of people, but it seemed that it was finally dealt with, if these people didn't make trouble, Luoyang should be considered to be settled.
