Chapter 113: To Each His Own Place
On the fourth day of the second month of the 33rd year of the Great Zhou Dynasty, everything was good, and Zhou Yu, the king of Yan, ascended the throne and called the emperor, and the world was amnesty, and the later generations respected it as Zhou Zhongzong. The year name is Zhenwu, and the history is called Zhenwu Zhongxing.
According to the discussion of the Ministry of Rites, the new emperor proposed the temple number of the first emperor as Zhou Shenzong, and posthumously enshrined his biological mother Duan Concubine Zheng as the queen mother of the Holy Mother, and enjoyed the temple forever.
The sixth prince, Zhou Jue, the king of Qi, made meritorious contributions to protecting the country, was named a prince, and added Taibao. Rong Ci, the daughter of the former general Rong Zhen, was elegant and wise, and her character was valuable, and she gave the king of Qi as a concubine and a lady of honor.
The former crown prince Zhou Xuan held the Son of Heaven hostage, caused chaos in the dynasty, committed suicide after defeat, and was hidden; Zhou Yan, the former king of Chu, was imprisoned by the former emperor, took advantage of the war and fled, the crime was unforgivable, and he was demoted to a commoner, and the whole country was arrested, and in case of resistance, he could be killed on the spot.
The rest of the disruptive parties are to be discussed by the Criminal Department, and the crimes are to be judged according to the severity of the crimes.
In addition, Guan Lei, the commander of the Zhao army, made outstanding achievements, and was given the title of Marquis of Ji Wu, and the crown prince Taibao; worship Xiaohuai Wang Jiang Yichen as the general of the town country, and guard the northwest with the king of Huai'an; The former general Rong Zhen was reinstated to his original position, and he served as the secretary of the military department; General Rong Zhe, stationed in Ning'an City, is famous, worships General Yunlu, and manages Ning'an military affairs; Zheng Yi, the champion of martial arts, was the general of Zhongwu and the squire of the military department.
-- Many local commanders are either old or talentless, and although they cannot be replaced immediately, Zhou Yu has secretly made up his mind that this work will be completed within three years.
Longtuge University Shi Ji Ying, Hanlin Academy editor Rong Shen literary quality, pure and loyal, respectively worship the left and right prime ministers; Su Dingxuan, a scholar of Fengguan Wendian University, was appointed as the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, and ordered him to eliminate redundant personnel and select talents as soon as possible.
Li Chengyu and Li Yuhan were awarded General Xuanwei and General Mingwei respectively, but both were dismissed.
At the request of An Ruichen, the son of the former Marquis of Hanzhang, the title of Marquis of Hanzhang was withdrawn, and the merits and demerits were offset, and no punishment was given. An Ruichen returned to his hometown with his family, and the three generations of his children and grandchildren were not allowed to get involved in politics.
Due to the disaster of the Chang'an War, there were a large number of vacancies in the central official positions. In order to put the work of the imperial court on the right track as soon as possible, the imperial court ordered that a new round of civil and military examinations should be prepared at all levels to select talents.
A series of military, political, and economic reforms were carried out in full swing from the central to the local authorities, and water conservancy projects, education programs, and military discipline were rectified in various localities.
On this day, after the early dynasty, Qu Shao was ordered to enter the palace.
In the early dynasty, there was no mention of any reward for Qu Shao, and he grasped the deep meaning.
At this time, Qu Shao was apprehensive, even more worried than when he dealt with Zhou Xuan. He understands that no matter how much credit he has and how simple his motives are at the beginning, he is a defector in the matter of eradicating Zhou Xuan. In this respect, he is in a very different situation from others.
In the process of contacting Zhou Yu and Zhou Jue brothers, Qu Shao completely exposed his strength. As a military general, he controls tens of thousands of forbidden troops in the imperial city, and has a wide range of important people in the court, such a person, whoever sits in the country, should be afraid of it; What's more, with such an embarrassing identity as him, even if Zhou Yu asked him to continue to hold this position, he would not be able to withstand the twists and turns of those scheming officials one after another.
The position of the commander of the forbidden army must not be kept.
In fact, Qu Shao is not a person who seeks fame and fortune, but he has the future of many brothers tied to him, and he doesn't want to leave everyone behind at this time and "retire successfully".
When Qu Shao entered the palace gate, he unexpectedly saw Zhou Yu, who had always been calm and calm, in a daze with a piece of paper, and the rice paper spread on several cases seemed to be a letter.
Qu Shao paid homage as usual.
Zhou Yu came to his senses at this time, and replied casually, letting Qu Shao calm down. He moved his stiff and numb neck slightly, folded the letter in his hand, sealed it in a book on several cases, and walked down the steps.
Seeing Zhou Yu's complicated expression that had not yet subsided, Qu Shao's heart "chuckled", he lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty summoned the ministers, I don't know what to order?" ”
Zhou Yu walked up to Qu Shao, as if inadvertently, put his hand on Qu Shao's shoulder, and asked, "Great Commander, I haven't received any will to promote today, do you have any resentment in your heart?" ”
This sentence asked directly, which made Qu Shao shudder. Why did Zhou Yu ask that? Could it be that what he did caused Zhou Yu to be unnecessarily vigilant? He couldn't guess, so he had to answer: "Your Majesty is wise and decisive, how dare Weichen complain?" ”
Zhou Yu smiled and said, "The Great Commander has been in the capital for a long time, and he is not comfortable answering, but it is a pity." ”
Qu Shao still didn't understand where the word "pity" came from, but he thought that no matter what caused the dissatisfaction of the new emperor, it would not be wrong to ask for guilt, so he quickly knelt down and said: "Weichen is stupid, he can't understand His Majesty's painstaking efforts, please ask Your Majesty to condemn it!" ”
"What are you guilty of?" Zhou Yu picked up Qu Shao and said, "I just want to give you another official position, and I want to ask your opinion." ”
Other official positions? Qu Shao thought to himself that the commander of the forbidden army would not be able to do it, and it seemed that His Majesty wanted him to take on a false position. If he can live this life in peace, maybe this is also a good ending, but it's a pity that his brothers don't know when they will be able to survive.
Now is not the time for Qu Shao to decide to stay casually, even if the new emperor uses a euphemistic word like "ask for opinions". Qu Shao said: "Weichen obeys His Majesty's orders!" ”
Zhou Yu's eyes met Qu Shao's lowered eyes and said, "I want you to be the new commander of the Yan army." ”
The new commander of the Yan Army? After Qu Shao heard Zhou Yu's word-by-word appointment, he almost jumped out of his heart excitedly.
The Yan army is an army brought out by Zhou Yu, with a transcendent status, and its combat power and armaments are second to none, I don't know how many generals are fascinated. Now, Zhou Yu personally promised to hand over such an army to his Qu Shao.
Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, was the emperor of the ancient Ming Dynasty, but even if he was enlightened, because he had served as Shangshuling, this official position was useless in the Tang Dynasty, and no one dared to hold this official position again. It's the same thing at this point.
Qu Shao knelt down again and said, "Weichen is ugly and sparse, so he doesn't dare to take over this position!" ”
Zhou Yu frowned and said, "You kneel down at every turn like this, but you are still a soldier?" Since I want to hand over this position to you, I am completely sure that you will do a good job of him. Whether it is the art of war or virtue, whether it is prestige or vision, in the entire Great Zhou, no one can be above you. I believe in you. ”
Qu Shao stood up, and his eyes were flushed with a warm red: "However, the minister is in an awkward situation. His Majesty's kindness may cause dissatisfaction among the officials. ”
"That's not something you should think about." Zhou Yu said calmly, every word was loud, "You just take your brother and guard half of my Great Zhou, and I will take care of the rest of the affairs in the court!" ”
Coming out of the palace, Qu Shao felt that the whole person was floating, and his mood was unprecedentedly relaxed. A new situation is coming, fortunately, the pride has not been exhausted, and in a few days, it can still be dry!
How to be a golden brain, go quickly and step on Qingqiu!
