Chapter 41: Dr. Zhang
When the Yanhuang Earth Dynasty was first established, the important ministers who ruled the Son of Heaven were divided into internal and external, among which the foreign ministers were the princes who established a country on their own, and the internal ministers were the six secretaries who governed the government for the Son of Heaven.
And under the ministers, there are also courtiers who govern the local government, and their names are doctors.
At that time, the territory of Yanhuang was undecided, and most of the princes who had divided the territory had no ready-made territory to rule, so they could only lead the generals, soldiers, craftsmen, and people they recruited to go to the wilderness with the copper tripod sealed with the roots and seedlings of the 'ancestral fire' to bury the tripod and build the city.
If you resist the invasion of fierce beasts and demons, and multiply, you will be successful in establishing a country, and if you don't succeed naturally, you will die and be wiped out.
And the emperor ruled on behalf of the Son of Heaven, staying in Kyoto and enjoying the glory and wealth, even the doctors governed the Pure Land.
Moreover, they also have their own family's hereditary fiefdom as the foundation in the country directly under the Son of Heaven, although the area must not be compared with the princes, let alone expand arbitrarily in the barbaric wilderness like the princes, but it is better to be peaceful and comfortable.
Therefore, at that time, it was far more glorious to be a secretary or even a doctor of the Son of Heaven than to be a prince, until the princes who successfully established the country in later generations overcame obstacles, expanded their territory, and became more and more powerful, and called their courtiers in the country also called secretaries and doctors, and the situation gradually reversed, and there was a saying that 'those who are in the country are expensive'.
But even so, until now, the imperial ministers are still extremely noble in the hearts of the people of the world.
Even if the Great Chu Dynasty has implemented the county system in its direct territory, the central court has set up two stations and six ministries to govern the country, and the ministers are no longer hereditary, and the head of the hundred officials who regulate yin and yang, and the prime minister who adds the title of 'Shangqing' according to the convention, according to the legal system, the status is still equal to that of the powerful feudal monarch.
Although the other five secretaries, such as Yaqing, Shangjun General, Lower Army General, Shangjun Zuo, and Xia Jun Zuo, are honorary titles, they can also compete with ordinary princes in etiquette and law.
And the edict of the two emperors of Yan and Huang mentioned by Sen Xuanji, 'regardless of whether they are born high or low, anyone who can establish a foothold in a barbaric place to support the people can be established'. The time of appearance is older than the earliest dynasty established in the land of Yanhuang.
At that time, the human race was still struggling to survive, so there was this system of 'those who can live can be kings'.
To this day, although because this edict was issued by the Holy Monarch, the ancestor of Yan and Huang, it was said that it would never be replaced when the dynasties changed, but in fact, it was hidden tens of thousands of years ago, and it had become a chaotic government and was no longer implemented.
is also thanks to Sen Xuanji's extensive knowledge, and he still knows that there is this ancient edict in his mind, and he also flexibly asks Zhang Huansheng to stand on his own as the ancient position and doctor with the lowest status and the smallest title to have his own fiefdom, rather than a more arrogant prince.
Of course, this status is the lowest, and the title is the smallest, and it is only relatively speaking, in the vassal states that implement the ancient system, a city doctor is already the master of the fate of life and death, wealth and wealth.
Zhang was also born on a wild island to be sensible and wise, and grew up in the Xuguo Tzu Chi Hall, which implemented the county system in Dongzhou, and did not know much about the respect of doctors, but he also knew that the position of 'doctor' was not a great merit of the state, or a hereditary nobleman could not be obtained, so he couldn't help but smile and said: "Uncle Sen, you don't want a serious joke."
The most honorable person I have ever seen is just the four-rank garrison general of Xuguo, where does this doctor's position come from, you can't canonize yourself yourself. ”
"Of course, it is not a chaotic government and self-reliance, the gentleman establishes the herdsmen in accordance with the edict of the two emperors of Yan and Huang, and the feudal monarch is naturally the two emperors of Yan and Huang, and he should build a 'sect' hall to sacrifice him on a different day." Sen Xuanji said solemnly.
Seeing the solemn expression on his face, his words were thoughtful, and it was not temporary, the smile on Zhang Huansheng's face gradually faded, he thought about it, and said softly: "Uncle Sen, I am a boy from the mountains, and I only know how to cultivate, so I am as knowledgeable as you and know the way to help the people..."
Hearing him say this, Sen Xuanji, who knew his elegance when he heard the qin, sighed and shook his head and smiled, and said in a low voice: "The gentleman doesn't know, in fact, before I suffered from the military disaster and the national disaster, I was the next doctor in the border land of the country.
Among the 3,000 slaves who were sold, more than 2,000 were border soldiers and their dependents from the 'Gu Yan'.
Because the border army is physically strong and proficient in the art of warfare, it can be used as a slave soldier after cultivation, and it can be sold to the Western Qin Dynasty to make the most profits, which is enough to be worth seven or eight ordinary slaves, and the nobles of the Western Qin Dynasty are used to buying even their dependents in order to appease the slave soldiers and let them work hard, so we women and children have the value of crossing the ocean.
And my Sen family is a branch of the right royal family, and it has been nearly 500 years since the land of Gu Yan has been governed, and the seventeenth family head has been replaced, and he has always been benevolent, so after the city is wiped out, those border troops and dependents are still willing to serve me as the lord and listen to my orders.
But as the old saying goes, the gentleman's Ze died for three generations.
Now we are drifting on an isolated island, far away from the homeland of Yanhuang, and away from all the patriarchal, rituals, and rules of Yanhuang.
When I was alive, I might be able to use the legacy of my family in the past to subdue everyone with my own benevolence, but I am nearly seventy years old, and how long can I live?
After his death, there was only one kid left in the Sen family who could not practice the law and practiced martial arts, and only loved to read all day long.
Therefore, I hope that the gentleman will have mercy, and the position of the doctor will be promoted to shepherd these three thousand Li people, and also save my Sen family from the disaster of destroying the sect! ”
Speaking of this, Sen Xuanji knelt down in tears, and in the distance, there were freed slaves who were cultivating and burning wasteland to see this scene, and couldn't help but stand on the spot in shock.
Zhang Huansheng and Sen Xuanji got along well in the same cabin at sea, and had some conversations with many women and children in the cabin, but they never knew that there was such an affair among the slaves.
At this moment, looking at the old man kneeling at his feet, he was shocked by his deep scheming and mastery of his means;
The second is to savor the words of his suitable talent, and his intuition contains great wisdom, and he can't help but say in amazement: "Uncle Sen, you are really careful and cautious.
But he is not greedy for power, and he is willing to give up.
If you are willing to give, you are willing to give and you can only have it, but even if you understand the truth of 'giving up', how many people in this world can resolutely abandon their ancestral inheritance in order to continue their ancestors.
Uncle, I really deserve the word 'mystery' in my name, and I really know the mystery.
But if you have strove so hard, I will answer. ”
Hearing this, Sen Xuanji stood up trembling with joy, picked up the wooden staff beside him, carefully tidied up his clothes, and walked solemnly towards the crowd in the distance, shouting loudly as he walked: "Everyone listen."
A gentleman has the virtue of a good life and the wish to soothe the people.
Today, there is a wise man Zhang who is still alive, expanding the land in the wild land overseas and saving our 3,000 Shuli. It is in line with the supreme of antiquity, the two emperors of Yan and Huang, "the descendants of later generations, regardless of the noble and lowly, who can open up the territory in the four wildernesses, and those who have taken refuge, can establish herdsmen" for all generations without the edict.
Today, according to this edict, the establishment of the Yi system, Jin, and the doctor's honor.
Thou shalt not bow down yet, but when. ”
