Chapter 324: Conquering the Turks
He knew that Chen Dongfu was a military genius, so for some of his actions. He was willing to take it. If Chen Kefu's general rank is made clear to him, then what if he implements it in the entire Great Sui Army? Over the years, he has changed the official system several times in succession, and the changes are much bigger than this.
He was angry that Chen Kefu had been hiding this matter, did he have to make a plan? Do you want to support the army and stand on your own feet in Liaodong? Does he still want to restore the country in Liaodong and build a Dongchen or Beichen?
He couldn't help but wonder in his heart, could it be that he was too good to Chen Kefu and made him not know the value of these things that were now rewarded to him? He couldn't help but start to think, did Chen Kefu really want to betray him? Maybe he was really too kind to Chen Kefu and gave too much at once.
Thinking of this, Yang Guang walked back to the platform with some dejection, sat back on the dragon chair, and said to the inner shì in the hall with some disappointment, "Spread my will, so that Chen Kefu doesn't have to enter the palace." "The power of the soldiers and horses of the fifteen counties, hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, is it really going to be handed over to Chen Kefu? Do you feel free to leave it to him? Yang Guang hesitated, although he was also a little worried and suspicious before, it was only some preventive suspicions.
But now, he really had such a thought in his heart, he hesitated, regretted it, and felt that he should not hand over Liaodong to Chen Kefu.
After Gao Zhen left the palace, he happily ran to find Pei Yun and told him how shocked the emperor was when he learned about the military rank. He said to Pei Yun that the emperor would definitely send someone to arrest Chen Kefu. As a result, the next day was calm, and the emperor not only did not inquire about Chen Kefu's affairs, but ordered another group of Pei Valve, Yuwen Valve's children and subordinates to be arrested for questioning. killed a group and exiled a group, and people were panicked for a while.
After these frightening days, the eleventh year of the Great Cause finally arrived, and the sound of firecrackers was everywhere in the eastern capital. In front of every house, they also began to replace the old talisman with a new peach talisman. In the midst of this bustle, the original tense atmosphere in the capital suddenly dissipated in this new year.
The first day of the first month, that is, New Year's Day. On this day, the emperor and hundreds of officials in Beijing, as well as the envoys of the foreign courts, all officials from the seventh rank and above, all had to participate in the court meeting. This is the real Great Pilgrimage, also known as the Meeting. The officials in the Chengtian Palace, from the purple sè official robe minister closest to the emperor's dragon chair, to the nine-rank petty officials who have been lined up outside the Chengtian Gate, there are thousands of them, plus those inner shì and shì guards, the whole is crowded, and it is like watching the Olympics.
There are not many officials from the third rank or above, and there are not many officials from the third grade or above, and the three provinces and six ministries plus the Yushitai, the nine temples, the twelve guards and the four mansions, the number of officials from the third grade or above is scarce. But among those nobles, there are many from the third grade and above. Now the Great Sui only retains the title of marquis and above, which means that anyone who has a title is an official who may wear a purple robe. In addition, those ministry officials are less than three ranks, but there are officials from three grades or more, and most of the halls in the entire Chengtian Hall are purple-robed high-ranking officials, looking like a sea of purple. Those who do not participate in the Great Dynasty Meeting will never know that there were originally so many high-ranking officials from the third rank and above in the Great Sui Dynasty.
Those old ones are already full of silver, and they can't even stand on the three dukes, three divisions, old princes, old county kings, old country princes, old county princes, old marquis, old Kaifu Yitong three divisions, Guanglu doctors, left Guanglu doctors, right Guanglu doctors, and Jin Zi Guanglu doctors. Of the purple-robed high-ranking officials in this half of the hall, Chen Kefu really knows less than one-tenth. Most of them were even meeting for the first time, and they didn't even know their names.
However, although Chen Kefu is the youngest of the group of purple robes in the palace, his official position and power are the first person in front of the emperor today. Although his Shangshu right servant shot is only regarded as the left minister, and is one of the right ministers of the left servant shot Su Wei, but Su Wei is more like the three princes and three divisions, but he is just a sculpture, but he can't be compared with a real power faction like Chen Kefu.
Although there are many officials participating in a large court meeting like the Yuan Society, the position of each official to stand on has already been properly arranged by the palace celebrants. Chen Kefu not only has the title of participating in the government, but also serves as the right servant of Shangshu, but his position today is the leading position in the first column on the left. Standing in the designated position, everyone who knew and didn't know around him came up to greet Chen Kefu. Chen Kefu only smiled when he saw people, casually echoing a few sentences, but most of the time, he didn't even know other people's names.
The whole Yuan Hui is actually a big ceremony, and there will be no specific discussion of military affairs, the main thing is the same as a New Year's celebration. The Beijing officials are in the front, the foreign officials are in the back, the ministry officials are in the front, and the officials with titles and honors are in the back. Chen Kefu is strictly regarded as an important minister in the frontier, but he has the post of Zuo Xiang, so he is also arranged according to the position of the Beijing official. ,
On the day of the Yuan meeting, it is as important as the enthronement and sacrifice, and the emperor Yang Guang must wear the most solemn set of Yi crown among the Yazi costumes according to the Zhou ceremony. In the midst of the melodious and melodious music, Yang Guang entered the main hall under the guards of the stars and the moon. Yang Guang wears a crown of twelve pearls on his head, wears Zhu Xuan's nine-chapter robe, carries the sun and moon on his shoulders, and carries the stars on his back. Wear this gorgeous and grand dress. Yang Guang's whole person also looked extremely solemn and majestic.
The ministers all wore the crown of Jinxian, which was originally worn by Confucians, and was worn by all officials after the Northern and Southern Dynasties. The front is seven inches high, the rear is three inches, and the length is eight inches. Three sorghums from the third grade above, two sorghums from the fifth grade above, and one sorghum from the fifth grade below. Prime Minister Chen Kefu, like the Third Prince, wears a three-way Liang Jinxian crown, wears a purple sè court dress, and holds a jade wat in his hand.
Yang Guang stood in front of the dragon chair, and there were already palace supervisors singing loudly, and the ministers knelt down and shouted three times, like a chorus. Although there are thousands of steps from Chen Kefu's position in the front hall to the last Chengtianmen from the seven-rank petty officials, but in those halls, the eunuchs, celebrants,
Under the command of Nei Shaì and others, the whole mountain is surprisingly uniform, as if hearing a chorus singing.
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" Yang Guang's gaze was majestic in the hall, and finally his gaze fell on Chen Kefu's body, and there was an indescribable complex look in his eyes. There was incomparable silence in the hall, and just when Neishì beside him wanted to remind him loudly, Yang Guangyi threw off his wide-sleeved robe and sat down on the dragon chair. He handed his right hand forward, and said in a calm voice, "Zhong Aiqing is flat!" Chen Kefu stood up, he was the prime minister, and like the three princes and three divisions, he was the most powerful minister in front of the emperor. As soon as he got up, he stepped forward, brought a few cushions, and put fruit tea on the table. This is the treatment that only the prime minister and the three princes and three divisions have, and even Yu Wenshu and Pei Yun are not qualified to participate in the government. Even a prince like Yang Lai, the king of Liao, is also unqualified, and even the eight-year-old prince Yang Gao can only kneel under Yang Guang's platform, and is not qualified to have a few teas.
Even the ministers of the palace, from the third rank and above, have cushions to kneel and sit. As for those below the fifth grade, they are not even qualified to kneel and sit, so they can only stand there.
Chen Kefu kneels and sits on his left head, his back is straight, and his eyes are looking straight ahead. But there was some imagination in his heart, he had already felt Yang Guang's gaze just now, it was not a random glance, it was a gaze that contained a lot of emotions and emotions. Chen Kefu's eyes swept to Yang Guang on the platform, and he also had a complicated feeling in his heart, maybe this was the last time he knelt down for Yang Guang. Maybe they won't even have the chance to meet again in this life.
Such a grand Yuan meeting is also a manifestation of the authority of the imperial court, and the number of people in ordinary times, whether it is an inner dynasty or a small dynasty, is limited, and only Beijing officials participate. However, the annual Yuan meeting is different, on this day's New Year's Day court, all over the world border generals, local Taishou, Tongshou and other officials will attend the Yuan meeting. Moreover, at the time of the Yuan meeting, there will be envoys from various states and even kings of small countries to pay tribute.
For a dynasty, if the Yuan meeting that year, foreign officials from all over the country arrived in the capital to gather in the court, then it means that the authority of the central government can still be accessible and command the Quartet. And if there are not many people in the Yuan meeting in any year, or no one comes to the court, then there is basically a big problem with this dynasty. And if there are many fanbang vassal states coming to the dynasty above the Yuanhui, this will also show the strength of the dynasty to the world.
The year before last, the Great Sui failed to conquer Liao, and there were not many vassal states at the time of the Yuan meeting, and even many Taishou and generals in important border towns had to stay in various places and could not enter Beijing. Last year, although Liaodong had won, it had not yet been pacified, and the Yuanhui was only slightly better than the year before.
But this year, the Great Sui pacified Liaodong in one fell swoop and swept away the Murwei. All of a sudden, all the men around the Great Sui, from Dongying, Silla, Baekje, and Mòhé in the easternmost area, to Khitan, Tiele, and Xi in the north, to Ryukyu, Linyi, Dali, Fubu, Kunming, and Dangxiang in the south, and Gaochang in the Western Regions in the west, and dozens of tribal and ethnic kingdoms sent their own delegations to participate in the Yuan Hui. Even the caravans from some places such as Bōsi and Dashi that came from the west also rushed to participate in the Ranchao, and each large caravan sent their caravan leaders into the palace to participate in this Yuan meeting.
At this Yuan meeting, officials from all over the world entered Beijing to gather, and the four foreign states came to pay tribute, which made Yang Guang feel that the great ambition that had been lost for several years was full of him again. The Western Turks are now divided into three and have three khans, but the largest khan of the Western Turks is still the Chuluo Khan. However, at this time, Chu Luo Khan had already become Yang Guang's high-ranking guard, after the envoys of the kings of the four seas paid tribute to all kinds of rare treasures. Chuluo Khan and the envoys of the other two khans personally cut a roasted whole sheep for Yang Guang, and once again honored Yang Guang as "the Great Sui Sage Moyuan Khan"
The title of Sage Khan was once given to his father, Emperor Wen Yang Jian, by the Eastern Turkic Qimin Khan, but it was later given to him.
This title of khan is the same as that of the queen of the British Empire, who served as kings and emperors of dozens of countries. The Son of Heaven of the Great Sui also served as the nominal supreme monarch of the Turks. (To be continued.)
