Chapter 162: Ministers
Sedum sent people to send the beheaded eight snake heads to the Xiujing camp, and after the Qingwei real people screened them, they sent one of the snake heads to Pingjing, and once again put pressure on the royal family in Pingjing to force it to surrender.
Daomen was able to kill the Yaqi Snake without dispatching immortals, which meant that it was not difficult for Daomen to capture Pingjing, but Daomen didn't want to cause more casualties, so he gave Pingjing a chance to end decently.
Of course, Heikyo understands this truth, and the reason why Xizi Kimiya desperately escaped is because only if she is alive, the royal family is qualified to negotiate peace.
Of course, if you can't win the frontal battle, you can't get it at the negotiating table, and such peace talks are just a unilateral surrender of the royal family.
Soon, a reply came from the royal family, accepting the conditions of the Daomen.
According to the terms of the first peace talks, the imperial family agreed to punish the criminals who provoked the war, including many important ministers of the imperial court, including the minister Zuo. Dismiss all the ronins and abolish the status of the state religion of the Heavenly Gate. All the armies were reorganized according to the standards of the Daomen, the aristocratic system was reformed, the land system was reformed, and the royal family was demoted to the royal family, and the court of Daxuan was declared a vassal. The royal family existed only as a symbol, and no longer held real power, and the Toyotomi Prime Minister's Office took over all the rights of the Heikyo Imperial Court and its subordinate yamen at all levels.
In addition, Daomen also put forward additional conditions, the three major artifacts should not be left in the hands of the royal family after the demotion, and should be kept by the Fenglinzhou Daofu. In fact, at this point, the royal family does not have much right to speak, and the key depends on the Scarlet Palace Xizi. Perhaps it was the national teacher who first broke the incarnation of the three main gods, and then slashed the dragon with a sword, which had already scared the courage of Xizi of the Scarlet Palace, and the last King of Zhai did not insist too much and agreed to this condition.
The reason why the royal family agreed so happily is also because the reputation of Daomen has been excellent over the years, and they have not done anything to go back on their word, so they don't have to worry about settling accounts after the autumn.
In this way, the balance that the Daomen hoped for was achieved.
The Toyotomi Prime Minister's Mansion holds real power, and the royal family is only used as a symbol, but there are large tengu and Shimiya Xizi in the royal family, which can play a role in balancing the Toyotomi Prime Minister's Mansion. Fenglinzhou Daofu is balanced in the middle, not specifically which side it is on. However, checking and balancing each other does not mean setting off a cruel party dispute, so Qingwei Zhenren asked Toyotomi Hidemao to marry Jixianggong Tamako to ease the relationship between the two parties by marriage.
After the royal family agreed to the terms of surrender, Pingjing opened the city bloodlessly, and the Daomen army officially entered Pingjing, and the lord of Fenglinzhou led the royal family members to greet him, which meant the submission of the royal family.
After the army entered the city, the royal family of Fenglinzhou submitted a letter of state to the Daxuan court, expressing the title of minister, requesting canonization, and the proposed two country name schemes "Fenglin" and "Weiyuan" were played by the Daxuan Emperor. Emperor Daxuan finally chose the new country name as "Fenglin", and canonized the lord of Fenglin Continent as King Fenglin in the name of the emperor of the suzerain, which is equivalent to the title of prince of the Daxuan court, and gave the golden seal, the edict, the crown dress, the nine chapters, the Guiyu, the Peiyu, the concubine Zhucui Qizhai crown, the Xia curtain, the gold pendant, the scriptures and the color coin table and so on.
Since then, the successive lords of Fenglin Continent have been named the king of Fenglin according to the routine, and can only call themselves lonely or widowed, not me, and the minister can only be called the king or His Royal Highness, not the emperor or His Majesty, otherwise it is arrogance.
At the same time, the Daxuan Imperial Court also made a provision that King Fenglin's official uniform was a python robe with a red background and a gold pattern, and Queen Fenglin was decorated with a phoenix. Princesses, princesses and concubines are adorned with floral motifs. The red cha is a licensed prince-level garment. Azure Zhai Yi is the rank of Queen Daxuan, and Queen Fenglin and Princess Fenglin cannot trespass.
In the past 100 years, the Daomen has changed greatly for Fenglinzhou, most of the middle level have followed the example of the Central Plains, from clothing to manners, as well as various customs, and even the tone of speech has to be learned, the closer to the Dijing accent, the more authentic, many Japanese people are proud of their fluent Central Plains official dialect, and even many people like to mix some obscure Central Plains words in their daily Japanese dialect exchanges, and the two languages are mixed, so as to show their own superiority.
Only the upper class still retains the traditional costumes, and after the royal family is called a minister, the Daxuan court directly made regulations on the clothing of the royal family, that is, to implement "easy clothing" from top to bottom, which is the so-called upward and downward effect, since the upper and middle layers are proud to follow the Central Plains, then the civilians at the bottom will naturally follow suit.
Another point, since the implementation of easy clothes, you have to tie your hair and wear a crown, and you can't tie your hair and wear a crown when you shave your head in the moon, so you naturally have to grow your hair. This is the ability to grow hair and wear it.
The next step is the reform of the title system, because the royal family has been reduced to the royal family, so the prince and the inner prince are abolished, and the prince is divided into six princes, the prince and the prince, the prince is demoted, and the original prince is reduced to the county king, and the inner prince is reduced to the county lord,???????????????? The head of the Toyotomi family is also the king of the county, and he is the only king with a different surname, and then it is divided down in order.
At this point, it is nominally a top-down reform of the royal family, but in fact it is operated by the Daomen behind the scenes. In other words, what kind of title the feudal lords in various places can give depends not only on their own strength, but also on the attitude of the Daomen.
For example, Toyotomi Chiyo, she is the sister of Toyotomi Hideji, with the death of Toyotomi Hideji, she is destined to become a marginal figure in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and it would be good to be crowned a county lord, but because she is a benchmark figure pushed out by the Daomen, the degree of Taoism is very deep, so she was directly canonized as the county lord, which is equivalent to the princes and princesses, and even on an equal footing with Toyotomi Hidemao.
There is also Asai Yoshishin, although his ancestor was a feudal lord, but it has long declined, in terms of strength, at most he is a viscount, but because he has made great contributions, he was canonized as a marquis. Also canonized as a marquis was Masao Maeda, who chose to surrender to the Domen.
Yagyu Zongzheng, who has always firmly supported and supported the Daomen, was canonized as a duke, and Yagyu Zongzheng was unwilling to accept it, giving the title to his son, and the Daomen specially gave him the second-grade Taoist background, and the same treatment as the Suzuka Imperial Front, this time Yanagi Zongzheng was happy to accept.
Of course, Zhang Qihan, the Qingwei Zhenren and the Dazhen Zhenren, will not do it himself, at most, the people below will draw up the list and hand it over to them for review and approval, which is mainly decided by the Fenglinzhou Provincial Government, the Ancestral Hall, and the Ziwei Hall.
Qi Xuansu, as the deputy hall master of Ziwei Hall, is also among them. He didn't have any interest in these princes, he just proposed to canonize a woman named Phantom Ji as a viscount, and the reason was also very good, the proportion of women among the nobles of Fenglin Continent was too small, and most of them were county lords and county lords from the royal family, which could not reflect the concept of equality of the Daomen, and needed to be focused.
This reason, of course, is high-sounding, and it involves moral correctness within the Daomen, and no one can oppose it, at least not openly against it. Coupled with the fact that most of the interests in this are concentrated at the public level, a small viscount is really insignificant. Moreover, Qi Xuansu did not mix with the ratings of these princes, which was equivalent to giving up his share, and many people were happy to repay the favor, so they directly set Phantom Ji from a viscount to an earl.
So there was one more countess in Fenglinzhou.
For the people in the Daomen, he is not the earl of the Daxuan Imperial Court, but it is just a matter of writing, which is nothing.
When Phantom Ji learned that he was going to be canonized as an earl, in addition to joy, he was even a little afraid, deeply feeling the power of this Qi Gaogong and the depth of his background.
In the official face, he can make himself, a small banner with at most a baron, directly jump two levels in a row to become an earl, and in terms of commerce and trade, he can also introduce himself to the leading businessmen on the Central Plains, what kind of energy is this?
But this Qi Gaogong has been very busy, either participating in the war, or on the way out, which seems very mysterious.
Therefore, Phantom Ji became more and more curious about Qi Gaogong, she was originally a long-sleeved person who was good at dancing, and had already established some contacts with a local deacon and Taoist priest stationed in the local area.
Taiping money and wine can always quickly bring people closer to each other, and this is not a confidential topic, the deacon Taoist priest directly said everything he knew: "Qi Gaogong? You mean Deputy Hall Master Qi, that's really amazing, young talent, many people say that he is the fourth show of the Daomen, do you know who can be called 'show'? The first is to be young, not more than thirty years old, and the second is to be good enough to be expected to compete for the throne of the Great Palm Sect. ”
Big Palm!
Phantom Ji's pupils contracted slightly, both shocked and feeling some kind of indescribable pressure.
That's not what King Tianmen Zhai or Emperor Fenglinzhou can compare, Fenglinzhou Daofu is in charge of the real people, the real people in charge of the army, and even the national teachers are all subordinates of the Great Palm Sect.
That was the leader of the Daomen, and even the leader of the entire Eastern world.
The deacon Taoist priest drank a little too much, and he didn't care what Phantom Ji's reaction was, and said to himself: "Speaking of the Great Palm Sect's honorable position, of course, it is a little far away, the seven generations of the Great Palm Sect have not been elected, where will it be the turn of the Eighth Generation Great Palm Sect, what will happen is a matter of decades." Let's talk about the moment, Jin Que clearly ordered to reward the deputy hall master Qi, Zhang Dazhen personally read out the commendation order, and passed the preaching door up and down, what kind of treatment is this? I heard that the deputy hall master of Qi will soon be promoted to the second seat, which is the top three positions in the Daoist government, and if he is the second seat, the Taoist priest level will also be moved, that is, he will be promoted to a real person. Do you know what it means to be a real person under the age of thirty? ”
Not all deacons and Taoists are as free as Qi Xuansu at the beginning, and they have been in this environment for many years, so they naturally know a lot about the nine grades and twelve levels of the Daomen, what age restrictions, qualification requirements, and even factional battles in the upper echelons can be said to be the Tao.
In addition to being shocked or shocked, the big palm is too far away, no one can say for sure what will happen in a few decades, she can still be relatively calm, just a good prospect. But what is about to happen is different, she thought that Qi Gaogong was already very great, but she didn't expect that in the near future, she would change her words to Qi Zhenren.
The titles of high-level master, mage and Taoist chief are only the names of outsiders to Taoist priests, and the Taoist sect itself does not use them, but the "real person" is common inside and outside the Taoist gate, which shows that the status of the real person is transcendent. Only by becoming a real person can you enter the high-level of the Daomen, so the real person is also called the high-grade Taoist priest.
The deacon Taoist priest was about to drink beautifully, but also drunk, and said in a half-dream: "A real person who is less than thirty years old, a forty-year-old Shenzhi real person, as long as he doesn't die halfway, even if he can't be a big master, it's not a problem to be a deputy head teacher." ”
