When planning to change the dynasty, Chu Tian met with Sun Jian in the Xia Palace, and discussed the titles and official positions of everyone.

Chutian did not plan to set up a prime minister, but to set up a cabinet and six ministries.

As for military generals, official positions such as generals and hussar generals are still established, but the power of generals is weakened, and generals are more of an honorary official position.

The title is set up as a king, a duke, and a marquis, and the marquis is divided into county marquis, township marquis, and pavilion marquis.

For example, Huo An was attached to the capital of the Western Regions, and helped Chutian unify the Han Empire, which is no longer comparable to the duke, so he can be crowned king.

Sun Jian's credit is still a little worse, and he is crowned Duke Wu.

Tongque returned to the Jiangdong Army, and was also crowned as the Duke of the Plains.

Xu Fengnian pacified Liangzhou, but because of his own lack of power, he was only the Duke of Feng and the Duke of Longxi.

Mu Ke's credit was given to Huo An, so he sealed the Marquis of Dianchi.

Prince Yan was named the Marquis of Yuyang.

Liu Bei surrendered after his complete defeat, and he was not crowned as a duke, but only as a marquis of Zhuo County. Zhuo County is Liu Bei's hometown, and for Liu Bei, it can be regarded as an honor to return to his hometown and glorify his ancestors.

Liu Bei's sixteen years of war were not completely unsuccessful.

The county marquis is second only to the prince, and is already above 10,000 people.

The lords who surrendered to Chutian earlier, Gongzi Wen, Zhao Gongzi and others were also made marquis.

Sun Ce, because of the marriage, is the Marquis of Wucheng.

Cao Cao, Zhou Yafu, Li Guang, Wei Qing, Xue Rengui and a number of other military generals who followed Chutian earlier, also had marquis.

Princes and princes are only honorary titles, without fiefs and euphemies, but instead they are provided with annual salaries and enjoy corresponding privileges to prevent the descendants of these princes and princes from rebelling in the future.

The large-scale feudal marquis was in order to win the hearts of the people and clear the way to become the emperor.

Fang Xuanling was appointed as the first assistant to the cabinet.

It is not that Fang Xuanling is the most capable minister, but that he is old, has high hard work, and has political capital.

Chutian is called the emperor, then Xia Liang is the queen, and Fang Xuanling supported Xia Liang to take the throne at the beginning, but at this time he was rewarded and sat firmly in the position of first assistant.

Fang Xuanling is not only a strategist, but also a senior politician who knows the exchange of interests.

Wang Meng, Sang Hongyang, Li Kui, Zhang Zhao, Li Si and others entered the cabinet.

Chutian implemented the separation of military and political affairs, and began to prohibit the entry of generals and ministers.

The Imperial Soldiers and Horses are all responsible to Chutian, the Praetorian Guard is the descendant of the soldiers and horses, the commanders of the Praetorian Guard are directly responsible to the emperor, and the military masters are responsible to the emperor, and they need to report to the emperor every six months.

The generals, commanders, and commanders of the Praetorian Guard were all appointed directly by the emperor.

Chutian set up the Military Strategy Department, the Ordnance Department, the Logistics Department, and the Supervision Department to exercise military power.

As for the military department among the six departments, it has no real power and is overtaken by Chutian.

The Military Strategy Division, with Sun Bin, Jia Xu, Zhang Bin, and Guo Jia as the core, formulated the battle plan, dispatched the supervising army during the war, and supervised each legion.

The Ordnance Division is responsible for the production of various weapons, as well as the management of arsenals.

The Logistics Department is responsible for transporting grain and grass, building fortresses and city defenses.

The Department of Supervision is responsible for supervising the armed forces in peacetime.

The four divisions were also accountable to the emperor and strengthened the centralization of power.

The candidate for the general was not appointed by Chu Tian.

Except for Chu Tian's first military exploits, no military general has the combat merits that surpass other military generals.

Chutian has many generals in his forces, and his military exploits are also very scattered, so it is difficult to decide on the candidate for the general, so Chutian simply vacated the position of the general.

As for the level of the empire, it is still the four levels of the imperial court, the state/metropolitan protectorate, the county state, and the county.

Sun Jian took Sun Ce, Sun Quan, and his daughter Sun Shangxiang to visit the Xia Palace, intending to let Sun Shangxiang meet Chu Wu.

Sun Shangxiang was only about eight years old at this time, followed Sun Jian's side, looked around the Xia Wang's Mansion curiously, and said to Sun Jian: "Dad, this place is bigger than our mansion. ”

"Of course, after all, it will soon be upgraded to a royal palace. In a few more years, you will also live here. ”

Sun Jian took his daughter with him, and with his daughter, he ascended to the throne, which was very common for the family.

"Huh?"

Sun Shangxiang still can't understand.

Chu Tian set up a banquet to entertain Sun Jian and his party, and Chu Wu, Chu Xuan, and Chu Qi's sons and daughters also participated in the family banquet.

"The Jiangdong Army is in charge of Wentai, and it is set to be a hundred Yue inside, and it is peaceful all over the world, and it has to work hard for Wentai."

Chu Tian toasted Sun Jian.

Sun Jian is considered to be an in-law, so Chu Tian is quite polite to him.

"The minister must be effective."

Sun Jiancheng was terrified, because Chutian would soon be the emperor, representing the herdsmen of the heavens, and above tens of thousands of people.

Chu Wu was about ten years old, sitting beside his father Chu Tian, looking at everyone in the Sun family. These people can be valued by their fathers, and most of them are very prominent.

Chu Wu saw Sun Shangxiang, who was about the same age as himself, and couldn't help but stay for a while.

Although he is young, Chu Wu can also distinguish between beauty and ugliness, and Sun Shangxiang already has the potential to be a beauty embryo.

Sun Shangxiang seemed to notice that Chu Wu was peeking at him, so his eyes widened and he looked at Chu Wu, who quickly turned his head.

It's just that Sun Shangxiang is just curious.

Sun Ce knew about the marriage, so he was looking at his brother-in-law.

Sun Quan didn't know, but he was also curious about the future crown prince.

The importance of heirs, for an empire, is self-evident.

The emperor will throw resources on the crown prince, train him to become a qualified emperor, and arrange teachers to assist him.

If the crown prince is a good person, then it is easy to fall into the chaos of seizing the heir, and the successor of the heir may not have the ability to govern the country because he has not received qualified training and teaching since he was a child.

One of the most obvious examples is the historical Sun Quan.

After Sun Quan became emperor, he appointed his eldest son Sun Deng as the crown prince. Sun Deng handled government affairs cautiously and decently, but he died at the age of thirty-three, and Sun Quan wept whenever he talked about Sun Deng after that.

After Sun Deng's death, there was a struggle between Wu for the position of the crown prince, and Sun Quan was old and not sober when he was young, and the officialdom of Wu was in chaos.

Sun Deng, as the eldest son, Sun Quan cultivated him with all his might, ordered Sun Deng to marry Zhou Yu's daughter as the crown princess, and appointed Zhuge Ke, the son of Zhuge Jin, Zhang Xiu, the son of Zhang Zhao, Gu Tan, the grandson of Gu Yong, and Chen Biao, the son of Chen Wu, into the palace, and told poetry and books for Sun Deng, and his entourage rode horses and hunted. Celebrities Cheng Bing and Zhang Wen successively served as princes and princesses. Lu Xun gave a lecture to Sun Deng.

Sun Quan went to fight Hefei, and Sun Deng guarded the rear.

Therefore, Sun Deng's untimely death was definitely a heavy blow to Sun Quan, and the fate of Wu Guo also changed.

Chu Tian's cultivation of Chu Wu is somewhat similar to Sun Quan's cultivation of Sun Deng.

Chu Tian also used a lot of resources to cultivate Chu Wu, and Chu Wu had six characteristics at the age of ten. Wu Qi, Le Yi, Sun Bin, Jia Xu, Xun Yu and others gave lectures for the prince, and Zhuge Liang was Chu Wu's senior brother.

Chu Tian also retained the two tokens of Iron Eagle Ruishi and Cowardly Xue Jun, which could be used as Chu Wu's exclusive troops.

In addition, Chutian married the Sun family in Jiangdong and the Ma family in Xiliang, and used the daughters of the Sun family and the Ma family as the concubines of the East Palace in the future, strengthening Chu Wu's team.

The crown prince does not have enough power to control the ministers in the future.

None of the ministers of the Chutian forces are good at stubble, all of them are big figures from various dynasties, and ordinary people are really unable to control them.

"Wu'er, wait a minute, you accompany the daughter of the Sun family and see your mother in the backyard."

"Yes."

Chu Wu didn't understand why Chu Tian asked him to take Sun Shangxiang to the backyard to see the summer cold, but he didn't dare to disobey Chu Tian's wishes.

Chutian and Sun Jian were still discussing the distribution of benefits, as well as the future conquest of Annan and other places.

Chu Wu took his sister Chu Xuan, Chu Qi and others back to the backyard, as well as the young Sun Shangxiang.

Sun Shangxiang didn't have any restraints, and he wasn't afraid: "I heard my father say that this is King Xia's Mansion, so you are all sons or daughters of King Xia?" ”

Chu Xuan nodded and said to Sun Shangxiang, who was almost the same age: "Well, my name is Chu Xuan, what about you?" ”

"Sun Shangxiang. What's your name? ”

Sun Shangxiang pulled the corner of Chu Wu's clothes.

"Chu Wu, there is no word yet."

"I've often heard my dad mention you, and I don't understand why, you're just a little kid."

Sun Shangxiang crossed her hands and pretended to think, but in fact, at her age, thinking was just in vain.

In the summer, Liang was in the backyard, holding a tea party with Mulan, Xiao Xuan and others, and it was rare for the world to be peaceful.

Emperor Roufu is taking care of his youngest son, who has just been born, and is also Chutian's third son.

Xiao Xuan was a little envious of Emperor Roufu Zhao Mingyu, because she also wanted to have a son.

Xiao Sui touched his flat lower abdomen and sighed helplessly.

"Mother."

Chu Wu returned to the backyard with his two younger sisters and Sun Shangxiang, Chu Xuan sat next to Mulan, and Chu Qi threw himself into Joan of Arc's arms.

Xia Liang put down the teacup and saw a little girl with a pink carving following Chu Wu, most likely Sun Shangxiang, the daughter of the Sun family.

Summer Liang said calmly: "Sit." ”

Chu Wu was sitting in danger, and Sun Shangxiang saw that everyone was sitting down, so he had to learn to sit in danger of Chu Wu.

Summer Liang looked at the two little guys, but he was a little right.

However, she must train Sun Shangxiang well, and Sun Shangxiang can become a qualified princess in the future.

Sun Shangxiang didn't seem to be used to sitting upright, so he soon couldn't hold it back, pulled the corners of Chu Wu's clothes, and said in a low voice: "How long are we going to sit like this?" ”

Chu Wu replied in a low voice, "Wait for my mother to speak." ”

"Oh."

Sun Shangxiang lowered his head, and under the cold and invisible momentum of summer, it was not easy to move.

Xiao Sui knew that Xia Liang was beginning to establish authority in front of Sun Shangxiang, so he watched the play on the side.

Joan of Arc was teaching her daughter to read.

It seemed to be a difficult thing to let Sun Shangxiang sit down quietly, Sun Shangxiang said to Xia Liang: "This sister, do we have to sit like this all the time?" ”

Xia Liang smiled slightly, asked the maid to prepare a pen and paper, and then wrote down an agreement, and said to Sun Shangxiang: "Sister doesn't know your name yet, can you write your name in the blank space and let my sister see it?" ”

"Uh-huh."

Sun Shangxiang saw that the summer cool finally broke the peace, so he lifted the brush and put it into words.

"It turned out to be Sun Shangxiang."

Xia Liang looked at the black and white words with satisfaction, and it was too easy to fool Sun Shangxiang, who was only eight years old.

Xia Liang said to Chu Wu: "Wu'er, you have to take care of this sister in the future." ”

Chu Wu was puzzled: "Why?" ”

Xia Liang knocked on his unsuccessful son: "You will understand later." ”
