It is not easy to be an emperor, this is Liu Bei's first intuitive feeling now. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Liu Bei knows people, recognizes people, and is very good at employing people, and his political talent is indeed very high. And he has an almost innate personality charm that can make people feel relaxed and convincingly rallied around him. But why did these people come at him, naturally, for practical interests. Now that Liu Bei is the emperor, he naturally wants to reward them well.

But when it comes to how to reward and how to balance all factions, it is difficult to do everything. Especially now, although the Xuzhou faction is its own patriarchal faction, the Jingzhou faction is also very important, plus the Guanlong faction that has just occupied Guanlong, as well as the Central Plains scholars in Yuzhou and Yanzhou, there are too many factors to consider. Even a person like Liu Bei, who is used to being a leader, is now a little difficult to decide.

In fact, civil officials are relatively easy to arrange, specifically for the post of prime minister. Judging from his own civil officials, whether it is qualifications or ability, those who can be qualified to hold this position are Lu Su and Chen Qun. The rest, such as the candidates of the Three Princes and the Nine Secretaries, are relatively easy to arrange. Zhuge Liang, Zhang Zhao, Xu Shu, Sun Qian and others all have their own strengths, and it is not difficult to hire them one by one. What really made Liu Bei feel embarrassed was the arrangement of the generals and the throne.

Among the generals, the position of general is the most respected. For now, this position is basically scheduled by Guan Yu, but Liu Bei is a little undecided about the candidates for the next hussar general and chariot general. Of these two positions, one of them must be given to Zhang Fei, and the other one, who it is given to, is not easy to decide. From Liu Bei's psychological point of view, he wanted to give it to Zhao Feng; But at present, he has set his capital in Chang'an, located in Guanzhong, and Ma Chao is extremely famous in the Guanlong area, if it is given to Ma Chao, it will naturally be able to convince people more effectively.

In addition, one is the throne, and the ancestor of the Han Dynasty has already made a conclusion, that is, those who are not surnamed Liu cannot be called kings. Liu Bei himself lived in the Han family all day long, so naturally he didn't break the rules of this ancestor. But Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are both his brothers, and it stands to reason that when the eldest brother becomes the emperor, the brother should be the royal brother. What exactly should be done in order to be comprehensive, Liu Bei couldn't make up his mind for a while. The official positions on the list have been drawn and drawn, and it still feels that it is not perfect enough.

Taking a sip of the ginseng tea handed by Mrs. Mi, Liu Bei was ready to continue to think about it. At this moment, I suddenly heard Mrs. Mi whisper softly: "Your Majesty, who is this Ma Chao, the concubine has never heard of this person before, and now His Majesty is going to crown him as a hussar general?" ”

"Ma Mengqi is Zilong's brother-in-law, famous in Xiliang, and he is a fierce general in the world. It's normal that you've been in the Central Plains for a long time, and you don't know! Liu Bei said with a smile, and at this time, Mrs. Bu also reminded: "Sister, haven't you forgotten that in Shouchun that year, it was this Ma Chao who was too arrogant, and His Majesty specially asked Liu Qi's eldest son and Wen to come to Shouchun in order to suppress him." "Finally, at this step, Mrs. remembers her surname very well, and she still remembers the events of that year.

"But there is such a thing, and my eldest brother also told me later, but I didn't think about it for a while!" Mrs. Mi nodded, then frowned and asked, "Your Majesty, since this person is so arrogant, why does Your Majesty still make him a hussar general?" ”

"Alas, madam, you don't know, although this Ma Chao's surname is a little crazy, he is also a hero of the Xiliang generation, and he is extremely famous in the Guanlong generation. Now that I have the capital of Chang'an, I naturally have to have a good relationship with Guan Long Haojie! Liu Bei sighed lightly. Hearing this, Mrs. Mi and Mrs. Bu both nodded in understanding, but in the end, Mrs. Mi still spoke: "I think this Ma Chao is powerful, but I'm afraid it's still inferior to General Zhao." ”

"Bo Tao is both civil and military, so he is naturally more powerful than Ma Chao!" Liu Bei was not surprised that Mrs. Mi helped Zhao Feng speak, his son Liu Feng, and Mrs. Mi's maiden nephew Mi Wei were all taught by Zhao Feng, and Mrs. Mi's emotions were naturally more inclined to him, not to mention that Ma Chao was too arrogant.

Liu Bei worked all night, and finally guaranteed that for the first time in the next day, this long list of rewards was released as scheduled. The eunuch's characteristic shrill voice sounded for half an hour, and finally the list was read out. The release of the list also triggered a series of heated discussions.

Bai Lusu is the prime minister, the chief of the hundred officials; Chen Qun is Sikong, Zhuge Liang is Situ, Zhang Zhao is Sima, and he is the third duke; The next candidates for Jiuqing, Mi Zhu is the great Si Nong, Sun Qian is the great Honglu, Han Song is the Wei Wei, Gu Yong is the court captain, Liu Qi is Guangluxun, Fa Zheng is the Shaofu, Jian Yong is Taichang, Liu Xun (Liu Zhang's son) is Zongzheng, and Bu Fei is the servant, which is for Jiuqing.

Among the generals, Guan Yu was appointed as a general, concurrently serving as the pastor of Jingzhou, stationed in Jingzhou to lead the affairs of the military state; Zhao Feng was appointed as the hussar general (the result of the pillow wind), Ma Chao was appointed as the general of the chariot cavalry, Zhang Fei was appointed as the lieutenant, and Zhao Yun was appointed as the general of Wei; Wei Yan is the general of the expedition to the east, Zhang Ren is the general of the expedition to the west, Zhang Liao is the general of the expedition to the south, and the general of the expedition to the north (commanding the military of Hebei, You, and the three states) is temporarily absent; Gan Ning is the general of Zhendong, Pang De is the general of Zhenxi, Wen Ping is the general of Zhennan, and Gao Ran is the general of Zhenbei; The rest should be military generals, and each has a reward.

As for the throne, among Liu Bei's group, since Liu Biao died of illness a few years ago, in addition to Liu Bei's father and son, there are only Liu Zhang, who is still enjoying himself in the public security, and Liu Qi is a genuine Han family relative. As for the question of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, Liu Bei put forward an extremely novel concept: the king of the county.

"Prince, county king?" These two concepts proposed by Liu Bei made everyone a little confused, and then Liu Bei explained in detail: "The so-called prince is the clan of the Han family, the king surnamed Liu; The king of the county is a throne granted by people with foreign surnames. The reason why it is called the king of the county is because the land of food must not be greater than one county. And it is stipulated that the prefix of the throne must be two words. (Note: In history, the implementation of the prince and the prince began in the Western Jin Dynasty, and the difference between the prince and the prince is also this.) Now it's advanced to the Three Kingdoms period, and it's only been a few decades, so it's not too much in advance, hehe) "I see! Everyone actually knows that Liu Bei did this, that is, he tried to explain his two brothers in order to give him two worships, and this compromise method can still be accepted by everyone, and not too many people objected for a while. Then, Liu Bei gave a detailed introduction to the qualifications and conditions for being named the king of the county.

"Those who open up territory for the Han Dynasty and expand their territory for more than 100 miles can be the king of the county; Those who add more than 100,000 to the Han Dynasty can be the king of the county......" Liu Bei described in detail the conditions for wanting to be the king of the county. According to his conditions, there were four people in the first batch of county kings in the Zhangwu court: in addition to Liu Bei's two brothers, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, and Zhao Feng, the remaining one candidate, but unexpectedly Huo Jun.

"Zhong Miao pacified Yizhou, opened up territory for the Han Dynasty, and can be the king of the county! Bo Tao pacified Nanban and Jiaozhou, although it was not to expand the territory, but it also added hundreds of thousands of people to the Han Dynasty, and he could also be the king of the county. Liu Bei is a matter of course. To say that among the four, the first three are just fine, but the last Huo Jun is too unexpected, so that the Zhendong general Gan Ning often sighs afterwards that if he personally led people to kill Yizhou to quell the rebellion of the Baiyue people, instead of lending a boat to Huo Jun, then how could he get a county king to have a good time, it was really cheap Huo Jun. At the moment, Guan Yu was named the king of Xiangyang, Zhang Fei was named the king of Fufeng, Zhao Feng was named the king of Guanghan, and Huo Jun was named the king of Gaoliang. The freshness of these four princes was suddenly amazing. In addition to envy, the generals are also secretly preparing to expand their territory.

Liu Bei's art of employing people has finally been vividly reflected in this long list. Like Sun Qian, Jian Yong, these old ministers who have followed him for many years, have relatively average talents, so let them serve as some false titles among the nine secretaries. At the same time, the proposal of the county king also ensured that on the premise of not completely destroying the ancestral system, the generals were appeased, and at the same time, it also greatly stimulated the active surnames of the generals. Even Qian Zhou's god stick was arranged to be a Taishi Ling, and he was absolutely a person to the best of his ability.

A few days later, the long edict of reward reached Chengdu, and Xichuan was also jubilant. "Lao Liu, Lao Liu, you are all emperors, pacifying the world is just around the corner, brother, I should almost retire!" Looking at the edict in front of him, Zhao Feng also muttered in his heart. I knew that Lao Liu was interesting enough, but I didn't expect it to be so interesting, this is a hussar general and a prince's, which is really dizzying. The hussar general was still in his own expectation. The problem is that Zhao Feng never thought that he would become a prince one day.

A few days later, a good day auspicious said, outside the city of Chengdu, Zhao Feng ascended the altar and was enshrined, officially becoming the king of Guanghan. And Guan Yu of Xiangyang also became the king of Xiangyang at almost the same time. Huo Jun of Yizhou is too far away, and he has not yet ascended the altar to be sealed. In addition to these four princes, Lu Su was named the Duke of Liang, Zhang Zhao was named the Duke of Wu, Zhang Liao was named the Duke of Runan, Wei Yan was the Duke of Donglai, Ma Chao was the Duke of Jincheng, and some other important ministers were also named the Duke of Guo. Of course, now these princes, or princes and county kings, are only a county at most. Like Zhang Liao, the Duke of Runan, there are only a few counties in the fiefdom, which means a little, there is a fiefdom but there is not much real power, and even the personal private army is not allowed to exceed three thousand according to the custom. Liu Bei is not so stupid, and he has broken up the territory that he has managed to knock down. At this point in history, the era of princes standing side by side has almost come to an end, and it has begun to enter a period of centralization. Whether it is Dahan or Cao Wei, it is the same, don't you see all the brothers of Cao Pi, Fengyi is also a big palm. As for the troops, they are basically concentrated on the borders. In the internal prefectures and counties, such as Yangzhou, Yuzhou, Jiaozhou, and other places, the permanent troops are relatively limited, in order to prevent local officials from supporting their own troops.

In stark contrast to the Central Plains and Hebei, Sima Yi's words were not so good in the land of Hanzhong at this time. In Nanzheng City, Sima Yi, Guo Huai, Wang Shuang and others were all present. After being silent for a long time, Guo Huai finally said with some astringency: "Lord, now that Liu Bei has been stationed in Guanzhong, what will I do next, let's ask the lord to make a decision as soon as possible!" ”
