Chapter 608: Everyone has a share in the fruits of victory
Wo Gao hurriedly stepped forward, sorted out Yang Ze's words, decorated them with literary words, and said them to the ministers!
When the ministers in the palace heard this, their eyes all lit up, and their eyes sparkled, and this kind of good thing, all the staff were upgraded, and it is estimated that there will only be this kind of benefit when Caicai ascends the throne, and if any other person ascends the throne, it will not appear again, this kind of good thing is after this village, there is no such shop, and it must be grasped.
The ministers agreed together, if it is just to worship the ancestors of the Dugu clan, it is indeed not necessary to go to the suburbs, there is the ancestral tablet of the Dugu royal family in the palace, as for the ceremony of suing the sky, it is even more no problem, where to sue the sky is not to sue it, everyone has a piece of heaven above their heads!
Even among the ministers, there are ministers who are very dissatisfied with Caicai's accession to the throne like child's play, but after hearing that they can be added to the official rank, they don't squeak, why are you working so hard, why are you standing on the bloody hall, risking your life to run into the palace to "escort"? Isn't it just for the sake of being able to get the benefits down, so even if you have some other ideas, it's not too late to mention it after the benefits fall into your pocket.
As for this benefit, will the eldest prince Li Yan take it back? Hey, he won the throne of Princess Chengqian, is he embarrassed to overthrow the reward given to everyone by the Empress Caicai, there are too many people who have offended, and no matter how abnormal the brain is, people will not do such a thing.
The ministers not only did not object, but also made suggestions for such an event. It can be simplified like this, and there are even ministers who run to move ...... I should say please. Go and ask for the ancestral tablet of the Dugu Empress!
Everyone gathered firewood and the flame was high, and everyone worked together to do things quickly, but in just two quarters of an hour, all the preparations required for the ceremony of sacrificing to the heavens were done, whether it was the simplified process or the efficiency of the work, I dare not say that there is no one who will come later. But it must be unprecedented, if the ancients who formulated the process of the emperor's enthronement ceremony come to life. You have to be angry with the scene in front of you, it's a good thing to be an emperor, but you don't need to be in a hurry to be like this!
Under the auspices of Wo Gao, the attendant of the Ministry of Rites, the ceremony of sacrificing the ancestors of the Dugu family was held in the Taiji Hall. And the larger ceremony of sacrificing to the sky was held in the courtyard, although it is a simplified procedure, but since it is a sue tian, there can be no roof on the top of the head, regardless of whether this ceremony will be blamed, but this is how Wo Gao explained, saying that it is completely in line with the rules of ancient times. What kind of rules were in ancient times, few people in the hall knew, so he said it casually. That's not the point anyway.
The point is that after the sacrifice to the sky, it is necessary to start rewarding the "meritorious ministers", all the ministers present are all meritorious ministers, all of them are very important, Wu Youren is a secretary of the ministry, although he adds officials to officials above the fifth grade. It's beyond his purview, but it's urgent. He took advantage of the time when everyone was worshipping the heavens in the courtyard, and he wrote down all the officials present on paper how to be promoted and how to be promoted, and presented them to Yang Ze for viewing.
Yang Ze looked at the piece of paper, nodded, looked at Wu Youren again, and thought: "This Brother Wu is really competent as the secretary of the ministry, and he can be called a model for all the officials of the ministry!" ”
Wu Youren saw that Yang Ze agreed, and hurriedly presented the paper to Caicai, Caicai didn't have any opinions, so he put a pen on the paper and approved a quasi-word, and the jade seal was covered with a seal, and this list was legal.
Wu Youren held the piece of paper and began to read it, and the ministers all listened attentively, although they all sighed in their hearts, this enthronement ceremony was really like child's play, too sloppy, too sloppy and too simplified, but they had to admit that in this child's play, they, the actors, would get a good salary, and that was enough!
In the entire enthronement ceremony, although the various environments are strictly simplified, but only in the link of rewarding meritorious officials, it takes a long time, accounting for almost two-thirds of the time of the entire enthronement ceremony, and the ministers are no longer so quiet, especially when they find that they are rewarded, promoted to the official position or title, and they expect a distance, the ministers began to express their dissatisfaction, at first it was still a whispered discussion, and then the louder and louder it became, and even gradually evolved into "arguing with reason", above the court, Just like in the vegetable market, there are always ministers bargaining.
Logically speaking, the official title or title given to the ministers is the grace of the court and the grace of the new emperor, the ministers only have to accept, how can they bargain, even if they feel that the title given is low, they can only be aggrieved in their hearts, who dares to say it in public, thunder, rain and dew are all the grace of the king, who dares to think that the title is low, then believe it or not, the new emperor can make whoever is taller, cut off his head, and see who can still stand tall!
But this time it was different, Caicai didn't pay attention to this kind of thing at all, she just wanted to go to guard the spirit of Empress Dugu after the enthronement ceremony, and on that list, Yang Ze was not rewarded, because of Yang Ze's reward, Wu Youren had the courage to point fingers, and it was up to Caicai to decide, so Caicai still had to think about what official position to give Yang Ze, how could she have the heart to manage the bargaining of a group of ministers.
And look at Yang Ze again, but he doesn't take the initiative to squeak, only when those ministers who are suspicious of small officials come to ask him, he will nod, saying that it is a little small, but the official position is a radish and a pit, and if there is no pit, it will naturally not be promoted, but the title is negotiable, and then it will be promoted to one level, anyway, everyone has worked hard, and he will not give this face to his children and grandchildren.
As soon as I saw that the title could still be discussed, could I still expect the ministers to stop, of course, I had to ask Yang Ze all, and Yang Ze actually agreed to all of them, which was very shocking, I really didn't take the title of the imperial court seriously, but it was right to think about it, and it wasn't his own thing, why should he feel distressed!
There was a lot of confusion in the court for a long time, and Wu Youren changed and changed the list of meritorious ministers, and finally it was done, almost everyone was on the original list, and they were promoted by one level, and even more advanced by two levels, counting the first level on the original list. It is equivalent to a three-level title in a row, and some ministers already have a title, of course, there are no people with too high titles in the court now. However, after being promoted to three levels in a row, there are still people who have been promoted to a first-class marquis, and then one level away is a duke, of course, if you want to become a duke by bluffing in the court, this is too exaggerated, but such a large area of Jin Jue. It's the first time in 5,000 years.
It was a child's play, but none of the participants would consider it child's play. If this is child's play, then what is the title they get? Is it child's play? No, absolutely not! So, it's a completely ceremonial one. A completely official enthronement ceremony, if anyone dares to say that this enthronement ceremony is not legal, then who is everyone's enemy, and they must be discussed together!
Yang Ze looked at Cai Cai on the throne, Cai Cai also happened to look at him at this time, Yang Ze nodded slightly at Cai Cai, and Cai Cai remembered what Yang Ze said to her, if you want others to support you, you have to make others have the same interests as you. Only in this way, when your interests are harmed, others will fight hard to protect your interests. Isn't that the case now!
Wu Youren finally got the rewards of the ministers, and reported to Caicai in a proper manner, at this time, he was going to start rewarding Yang Ze, and he also wanted to reward those ministers who were not in the court, such as those generals of the Praetorian Guard, especially the generals with heavy troops.
Dish dishes for other great generals. I didn't have any ideas, just one command. Wu Youren announced that those great generals were also promoted to a knighthood, and if they were already first-class princes, then they would give their second son a title, and if there was no second son, then one of the grandsons could also get a title.
After saying it again, Caicai was very impatient, and finally waited for Wu Youren to finish speaking, Caicai said: "Yang Ze, the general of the Right Shenwu Army, stepped forward to listen to the seal!" ”
Wu Youren and Wo Gao grinned at the same time, in fact, this should have been said by the little eunuch, Caicai only needs a look, and the little eunuch will shout this sentence, where do you need Caicai to say anything in person, it seems that this little girl really doesn't understand the government, don't make any jokes when rewarding Yang Ze.
Yang Ze straightened his clothes, knelt down in the ranks, and waited for Caicai to add him to the knighthood, he could guess what official Caicai would give him, it must be Tai Lieutenant, in the Dafang Empire, the official position of Tai Lieutenant is not a false position, but the highest official position in charge of the armed forces and has military power, which is equivalent to the generalissimo of soldiers and horses, all the generals must listen to the orders of the Tai Lieutenant, as for the title, it should be the Duke of the Kingdom, the highest duke, and people who are not in the royal family are not allowed to be crowned kings, this rule should be known, so the title must be the Duke of the Kingdom.
Cai Cai said: "Add Yang Ze as a captain, and the governor of the world will ...... soldiers and horses."
Yang Ze thought to himself: "Sure enough, it's really a captain, although this official didn't have time to discuss it in advance, but Caicai and I definitely have a good understanding without ordering, and we both know that we can do without any other power, but the military power must not be let go." ”
Wu Youren and Wo Gao glanced at each other, they also expected this official position, but Shen Deyin and Wang Peilun looked at each other and smiled, as long as the military power is in hand, are you afraid that others will be disobedient, don't look at the emperor's young age, and I'm afraid that I won't even be able to sit on the throne for a day, but I also know this, and I don't need to remind him at all.
Caicai then said: "Feng Yang Ze is the prince, I have thought of the name...... Well, I've thought about it, so I'll call it King Qin! ”
Yang Ze was stunned for a moment, he turned out to be the king, or the king of one word, this is the highest-level prince, and the Qin character of the king of Qin, it is not good to seal the surname of the foreigner, he is not a royal family, at most he can be a concubine in the future, but the concubine cannot be crowned king in any case, and the word Qin cannot be used!
The ministers were dumbfounded, and they all felt bad in their hearts, if Caicai really sealed Yang Ze as the king of Qin, after Chan gave up the throne, if the eldest prince Li Yan didn't recognize it, wouldn't it be bad, if he didn't recognize Yang Ze's title, would it not even affect their title?
Yang Ze thought to himself: "This is really for my sake, but I am in a bit of a hurry, how can I be crowned king all of a sudden, and it is also the name of King Qin, this will make me the target of everyone!" ”
Cai Cai said: "Looking at your appearance, it seems that you are not optimistic about the name King of Qin, so what kind of king should you say?" ”
Yang Ze was happy in his heart, smart, this trick was used well! (To be continued) R580
