The first year of the reform, the amnesty of the world, and the reward of all the people in the world are over, and then it is time to reward the ministers and officials.

It's just that this time, Liu Ying didn't stand up immediately, but stepped forward and sat down next to the Queen Mother Lu Pheasant.

Lu Pheasant Wen smiled and nodded, although his face was facing the emperor's son Liu Ying, but the words in his mouth were clearly said to the hundreds of officials and courtiers in the palace.

"Last year, the emperor personally conquered the eastern part of the country to quell the rebellion of King Yingbu of Huainan; At the time of quelling the turmoil, many of the generals and soldiers in the army, the ministers and meritorious marquis of the DPRK and the Central Committee were awarded martial arts medals, but they were not rewarded. ”

"In the previous year, the generation of the prime minister Chen Feng anti-generation, Zhao, Emperor Taizu Gao drove the royal expedition, until the beginning of last year, Chen Feng was awarded the head; Later, Emperor Taizu Gao was ill, and the reward of meritorious soldiers was also shelved by Emperor Gao. ”

"Today's year's first Yuanshuo, the court ceremony;"

"In addition to the succession to the throne because of filial piety, my son should also be honored as a meritorious minister in the past few years in the country, in order to show the martial arts of the Han family······"

Hearing Lu Pheasant's words, Liu Ying couldn't help but be a little surprised, but she also smiled quietly and nodded, got up and bowed to Lu Pheasant.

"What the Queen Mother Said Was ······"

Rewarding meritorious soldiers was originally the central court in the feudal era, and it was a reserved program after every war.

What's more, today's Han family's 'more inheritance of the Qin system', although they are not interested in the Qin 20-level military merit lord Mingtian house system, but in the point of 'martial arts', Liu Han is better than Yingqin, which can be said to be surpassed, but not as good as it.

In the past few years, the rebellion of the acting minister Chen Xuan, the rebellion of King Yingbu of Huainan, and even the rebellion of Lu Xuan, the king of Yan, who plotted to rebel and finally defected to the Xiongnu and other wars, among which the rewards of meritorious soldiers were suppressed by the former emperor Liu Bang intentionally or unintentionally.

As for the reason, even if Liu Ying didn't ask, it is not difficult to guess.

——Liu Bang, the former emperor who knew that the destiny of heaven was coming, wanted to use this opportunity to win people's hearts Liu Ying, so that Liu Ying could take the opportunity of Enfeng to weave wings for himself.

And now, it is the time for Liu Ying to follow Liu Bang's expectations and seal the meritorious soldiers.

But before sealing the meritorious soldiers, there is one more thing that Liu Ying must do as soon as possible······

"Please also ask the prime minister to step forward."

With a gentle word, all the officials and courtiers in the hall were stunned, and after a while, they all turned into excited and unbearable expressions!

Seeing that Xiao He took two steps forward, before he had time to kneel down, several Lang officials on the side hurriedly stepped forward and cooperated to help Xiao He up from the left and right sides.

And on the royal steps, the young son of heaven looked at Xiao He's gaze, and he immediately brought endless reverence!

"Since Emperor Taizu Gao, he has been abundant and resisting the tyranny of Qin, and the prime minister has been with Emperor Taizu Gao for a long time, thinking that he is a counselor;"

"Later Emperor Taizu Gao entered Xianyang first, and the prime minister entered the Shiqu Pavilion of Xianyang Palace first, so that most of the allusions of the sages and the historical classics of the Warring States Heroes were protected;"

"Since the Han Dynasty, Emperor Taizu Gao has often been on expeditions, and the prime minister has stayed in Chang'an to lose the army's soldiers, horses, and food;"

"When the Han Zuo is established, Emperor Taizu Gao once clearly said that the hundred officials said: Xiao He, the marquis, should be the first marquis of the Han Dynasty!"

As soon as these words came out, Xiao He raised his head with tears in his eyes, withdrew his hand from the support of Lang Guan beside him, and slowly bowed towards Liu Ying.

After that, it was a handsome Lang official, under the gaze of everyone in the hall, he came to Xiao He step by step, facing the courtiers in the hall, and solemnly spread out the silk cloth in his hand.

"The edict said: Emperor Shun was ordered by the heavens, and finally got the talent of 夔 (kuí) and the contract; King Wen of Zhou flew into a dream, and he was too public; Qi Huan Gong was recommended by Uncle Bao, and he had to manage Zhong Xiangzuo. ”

"Since the establishment of the Han Dynasty, Taizu has been defeated by the mandate of heaven, and the king of the world has been ruled by the mandate of heaven.

"I am the son of heaven of the Han Dynasty, and I dare not call Taizu very martial, very literate, very clear, and very benevolent; However, I should also follow the will of Taizu and treat the pillar stone of the society with kindness, so as to settle the world Yuanyuan. ”

"Hou Hou Chen, since Taizu drafted recklessly and left and right, he insisted on printing and supporting Taizu An Sheji, and should be called: the minister of the immortal!"

"Therefore, please pay homage to the Prime Minister, the Marquis He, and the Taishi!"

"Privilege the marquis of He Jin Xi 綟 (lì) 綬, with the princes; It is forbidden to ride horses and gallop cars; Xu Chao Tianzi does not worship, and he does not kneel in the Taimiao Temple and the High Temple! ”

"Zi Er Xiao He, Sheji Pillar Stone;"

"Ten thousand stones, the son of heaven;"

"Zuo Li Hanzuo, meritorious work for eternity."

"Worthy of the Taimiao!"

"For Han, retainers ······"

With the reading of the edict in a suppressed manner, Xiao He was already sobbing, and his arm was held up by the Lang officials beside him, and he couldn't kneel and kowtow, but only trembled his lips.

"Old Minister······

"Old Minister·········

Looking at Xiao He's gently trembling back, the courtiers and officials in the palace were all red-eyed without exception.

If there is anyone in the Han family today who can receive a rich reward without causing anyone's jealousy and dissatisfaction, then except for Prime Minister Xiao He, I am afraid there will be no second person······

From the very beginning, Yu Fengpei befriended Taizu, then raised troops to resist Qin, and promoted Pei Gong as the commander of the righteous army, and then followed Liu Bang, step by step from Chu to Guanzhong;

After entering Xianyang first, Liu Bang took Zhang Liang and Fan Hao to the banquet in Hongmen, but left Xiao He to stabilize the army's heart;

After being crowned the king of Han and returning to the Three Qins, Liu Bang took all the Wenchen generals to the Guandong expedition, and still let Xiao He stay in the rear;

When the overlord conferred the head, Han Zuo was established, Liu Bang was running around the Kanto for many years, and when he was embarrassed by the chaos of the princes with different surnames one after another, he was responsible for transporting materials in the rear, recruiting soldiers and horses, and continuously sending out Hangu Pass, which was still Xiao He.

Today, sixteen years have passed since the death of the first emperor, and the young Liu Han Dynasty has also ushered in its thirteenth year.

But as the first prime minister of the Han family, Xiao He still dragged his old body and played his role as a 'Dinghai God Needle' in the position of prime minister.

For later generations, whenever they talk about the late Qin and early Han dynasties, people always think of the overlord Xiang Yu, the soldier Han Xin, or Liu Bang's arms: Wen Zhangliang and Wu Fan;

But only in this magnificent era and people who have seen the world in person can understand that Zhang Liang and Fan Hao are just Liu Bang's 'arms', and Xiao He is Liu Bang's humerus, and Liu Bang is an indispensable figure in determining the world and establishing the Han Dynasty.

Now, this figure who will go down in history has received the honor he deserves;

In this regard, there are hundreds of people in the hall, old and young, men and women, but none of them dare to have 'inappropriate' thoughts in their hearts.

Whether it is the master of the Han Dynasty or the golden seal;

Whether it is Xu Chi ban, or the courtesy of the princes;

Whether it is worthy of enjoying the Taimiao, or the sentence that makes everyone in the hall excited, 'for the Han family';

Xiao He's life is worthy of all this.

If Xiao He is not worthy, then there is probably no one in the whole world who is worthy of such glory.

"Your Majesty······"

"Your Majesty·········"

Everyone felt sorry for themselves, but Lao Xiao He still couldn't recover from his excited emotions, so he only let himself be supported by his arm, looked at Liu Ying with his head high, and couldn't help but want to say something.

Seeing this, Liu Ying smiled gently, looked at her mother Lu Pheasant beside her for a while, and then walked down the imperial steps and came to Xiao He.

After seriously tidying up his clothes, when Liu Ying raised his head again, the attendants on the side moved a solid wood lacquered chair to the hall according to the previous arrangement, and placed it in the middle of the imperial staircase.

Then, it was Liu Ying who stepped forward, took over the position of a Lang official, lightly helped Xiao He up the stairs, and sat down on the wooden chair.

At this time, the courtiers and officials in the palace found that the wooden chair was not like the two court seats in the east and west of the palace, or sitting east and facing west, or sitting west and facing east, but like the imperial couch on the imperial steps, it was sitting north and facing south!

But seeing that Liu Ying's face did not change, he helped Xiao He onto the wooden chair, and then walked down the imperial steps, turned his back to the courtiers in the hall, and bowed to Xiao He who was sitting on the wooden chair.

"Student, I've seen ······ teacher"

At this moment, the hundreds of officials and courtiers in the palace finally believed: Xiao He, the 'concurrently Taishi', is not a false title of honor, but a real Heavenly Son of Heaven!

After saluting, and pressing Xiao He, who wanted to get up in a hurry, back to his seat, Liu Yingcai turned around and looked at the hundreds of officials and courtiers in the hall with a smile.

"I heard that there were three princes in ancient times, saying: Taishi, Taifu, and Taibao."

"The three ancient princes are all masters of the Son of Heaven."

As he spoke, Liu Ying did not forget to turn around and bow his hand to Xiao He, and then to Cao Shen and Wang Ling in the hall.

"Emperor Taizu Gao once had an edict: Prime Minister, Imperial Historian Pingyang Marquis Ginseng, Neishi Anguo Marquis Mausoleum, each with a Taifu;"

"Now, the prime minister is also the master."

"In the future, the Taishi will sit on this chair, the Marquis of Pingyang and the Marquis of Anguo will set up the Taishi left and right, and Zuo Zhen will govern the government."

"When I am crowned, I will follow the edict of Emperor Taizu Gao, and dismiss the Marquis of Yu, the Marquis of Pingyang, and the Marquis of Anguo."

Hearing Liu Ying's words, everyone in the hall only subconsciously raised their heads.

When he saw the couch above, Lu Pheasant only smiled lightly and nodded to Liu Ying, and everyone collected their thoughts and bowed their hands together.

"Ministers, obey Your Majesty's edict······"

After saluting, Cao Shen and Wang Ling also walked up the royal steps, respectively bowed to Lu Pheasant on the imperial couch, and Liu Ying next to the Taishi chair, and then according to Liu Ying's instructions, stood next to the Taishi chair on the left and right.

Seeing this, all the people in the temple bowed again.

"I've seen Taishi, I've seen Taifu Cao, Taifu Wang, ······"

At this point, Liu Ying's 'invention and creation' alleviation has finally been completed, and the rest is an ordinary charter.

Liu Ying asked: In the past few years, which courtiers, soldiers, and martial artists have reached the level of rewards?

Cao Shen turned around and replied: In the rebellion of the acting prime minister Chen Xuan, Wuxun reached the standard of the feudal marquis, and there was a certain and such who met the requirements of the feudal monarch; In the rebellion of Huainan Wang Yingbu, there is a certain and such should be rewarded.

Then, Cao Shen submitted the list that had been prepared a long time ago, but Liu Ying didn't even look at it, and handed it directly to his mother Lu Pheasant.

After Lu Pheasant carefully read the list and nodded at Liu Ying with a smile, Liu Ying asked the hundred officials in the palace again: These people should be rewarded, can the princes have any objections?

After confirming that the list of rewards was approved by the court, Liu Ying told Cao Shen that he would start selecting a suitable fief and seal it at the beginning of spring in the next year.

After that, it was the democratic resolution of the hundred officials of the court to determine the vacant candidates for official positions in the Kwantung clan princely states.

It is basically the same as Liu Ying's prediction: the five kingdoms of Dai, Qi, Yan, Liang, and Huaiyang basically followed the principle of 'taking the maternal relatives of the princes and kings as the main candidates';

At the same time, Liu Fei, the king of Qi, who lost Fu Kuan and Cao Shen, also got a new king: brother-in-law Sijun.

The Taifu, Xiangguo, Neishi, and Lieutenant of Zhao were all divided among the Lu party elements who were not surnamed Lu, and the Empress Dowager Lu Pheasant was able to take advantage of this to firmly control the military power in the north in her own hands.

At this point, the drama of this great court ceremony has basically ended, and the courtiers and hundreds of officials have two more sentences, 'Your Majesty should study and think hard, and live up to the expectations of the high emperor', etc., and this great court ceremony can be over.

But for some reason, after Liu Ying, Lu Pheasant's mother and son were silent, the hundred officials and courtiers in the palace did not open the predetermined charter, but each lowered their heads and put on a look of 'The Queen Mother, Your Majesty has forgotten something'.

Seeing this, the Queen Mother Lu Pheasant, who had always sat on the imperial couch and was willing to be Liu Ying's background board, finally slowly straightened up from the imperial couch.

"In the past, there was a rumor among the people of Chang'an, saying that Emperor Taizu Gao's edict wanted the emperor to be crowned in the seventeenth year of his life."

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the hall hurriedly cheered up, although they still looked like they were closing their eyes and recuperating, but they all pricked up their ears one after another, for fear of missing even a word!

I saw Lu Pheasant scanning around the hall with a little deep meaning, and then looked at the middle of the imperial steps, where the figure of one sitting, two standing and three with his back to him.

In the end, Lu Pheasant's gentle gaze finally stayed on Liu Ying's heroic face.

"When Emperor Taizu Gao died, the Marquis of Yu, the Marquis of Pingyang, the Marquis of Anguo, etc., were all in front of the bed."

Nodding to Liu Ying with his eyes full of expectations, Lu Pheasant turned around and looked at the faces of the hundred officials in the hall, showing grace and kindness.

"Emperor Taizu Gao confirmed: Let the crown prince succeed to the emperor's throne, perform a crown ceremony in the seventeenth year, get married, and then pro-government."

"The current emperor is established, and there is no reason to ignore the edict of the previous emperor; The body of my empress dowager does not dare to damage the legacy of Emperor Taizu Gao. ”

"The emperor is sixteen years old today, and when he is one year old, he should obey the edict of the emperor and perform the crown salute."

As he spoke, Lu Pheasant turned sideways again and looked at his precious son Liu Ying beside him.

"At the age of one year, the emperor should come to Changxin, listen to government affairs, and learn the way of governing the country; I followed the emperor to solve the emperor's confusion. ”

"When the next year is old, the emperor should come to the court alone, and I should also retreat to Weiyang and enjoy the joy of my children and grandchildren around my knees······"

Hearing this, Liu Ying only hurriedly bowed: "The queen mother is serious. ”

"When a child hears the way of governing the country, there is no end to practice, and he is young, so I am afraid that there will be inappropriate actions that will damage the virtue of Emperor Taizu."

"After looking at the mother's weakness, she often comes to the court to discuss the insensitivity of the child······"

But seeing Lu Pheasant smile faintly, he turned around noncommittally and looked at the officials and courtiers again.

"That is, the emperor is strong, and the princes of all dynasties should look for good daughters with good virtues and good morals, and they should be in the harem."

"When the next year is celebrated, it is time to raise the emperor's crown ceremony; There is no owner in the pepper house, and the sage should be established in the harem, so that the gift of bowing silkworms can be carried out. ”

Hearing this, all the officials in the hall bowed together, but they didn't dare to take Lu Pheasant's words seriously.

The gift of bowing silkworms is worthy of the queen's bowing silkworm ceremony, that is, at the beginning of spring every year, the queen will summon the wives of the ministers' families to enter the palace, peel off the cocoons and draw silk, and rub the threads and weave cloth.

Correspondingly, at the same time, the Son of Heaven led the courtiers and hundreds of officials to lay outside the temple in the 'bow and ploughing ceremony', that is, the ceremony of leading the hundred officials to open their fields to persuade the people of the world to farm.

The ritual of ploughing is naturally not a problem - the Son of Heaven and the hundred officials are present, and then it is completed immediately under the guidance of the regular officials;

However, if the silkworm ceremony is to be carried out, the queen needs to personally set up the silkworm room and summon the wives of hundreds of officials and ministers into the palace.

To put it simply, without the queen, it is impossible to perform the silkworm bowing ceremony.

And Lu Pheasant said this time, although he said, 'The emperor is almost an adult, and he will be the queen after adding the crown, and the big guy will help to find out and find out who has a good girl who has not yet married', but in fact, this is just a polite sentence.

It's like every emperor in history, no matter how resolutely he decides something, he has to ask 'what do you think'.

Because according to the etiquette system, the canonization of the queen and the crown prince is almost decided by the queen mother, and people other than the queen mother, including the emperor, have no right to intervene at all!

Even if it is an emperor, he can't determine who will be his queen and which son will be his heir, let alone the courtiers and officials who are 'outsiders' to dictate the housework of the heavenly family.

Therefore, almost at the moment when Lu Pheasant's words came out, all the officials and courtiers in the palace understood what Lu Pheasant meantant.

- The candidate for the queen, the mourning family has already been found, but it is not good to take the initiative to speak; If you know each other, quickly guess the candidate chosen by the mourning family and keep it in mind!

Next year, after the edict of the mourning family is issued, if anyone dares to say crookedly, or say something like 'who is this woman', don't blame the mourning family for not showing mercy to you!!

Looking back on this subtext, everyone naturally didn't dare to put a fart, and even enough people turned their brains and began to speculate on the queen's candidate.

"Lu Girl?"

"Probably not."

"Lady of the Father?"

"It's unlikely ······ either"

For a while, the thoughts of the hundreds of officials in the palace were occupied by a game called 'Guess who the queen is'.

And above the imperial steps, above Liu Yingping's indifferent face, a faint trace of helplessness flashed away.

I don't know if he captured Liu Ying's expression change at this moment, or if he saw through the doubts in Liu Ying's heart, Lu Pheasant only smiled and sat back on the imperial couch, and nodded slightly at Liu Ying.

After Liu Ying leaned his upper body over to write, Lu Pheasant smiled slightly and attached himself to Liu Ying's ear.

"Yan'er, not born to Lu Yuan······"

"If it weren't for that, I shouldn't have thought of it······"

Hearing this, Liu Yingzong deliberately restrained, but she couldn't suppress a touch of shock, and it flashed on her face!

looked at Lu Pheasant in disbelief, and saw that Lu Pheasant only had a calm expression, Liu Ying finally breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately bowed her hand to her mother from the bottom of her heart.

"The order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker."

"Son, I respectfully ······ edict"
