Chapter 238: The Eight Pillars of the Western Wei Dynasty
In the seventh year of Taichang (538), June 17, Luoyang Mingguang Palace.
Yuan Shan saw that he was bored and sat on the throne of the Son of Heaven, today's court discussion is Gao Longzhi's one-man show, and even the seal of the new law can only watch his performance.
While Gao Longzhi praised the new law, he also kept Gao Cheng in three sentences, and tirelessly emphasized to everyone that the general Gao Cheng played a guiding role in the process of revising the law.
"Your Majesty, since the new law was written in the Taichang period, please follow the old practice and take the name of "Taichang Law"."
Just when everyone thought that this court discussion would end uneventfully, Gao Long's words were like thunder on the ground, and the courtiers in the palace exchanged heads and ears, and there were many discussions, and even Yuan Shanjian looked surprised.
It's no wonder that everyone was surprised, there was a precedent for the general's five-baht coin, and everyone tacitly agreed that the new law would be called "The General's Law".
After all, Gao Cheng's eating appearance when he won the gong was indeed ugly.
Of course, no matter what the name is, it will not change the results of the implementation of the new law throughout the country.
In the third year of Taichang (534), Gao Cheng was relieved of the post of sealing the imperial history and ordered him to study the law.
In the sixth year of Taichang (537), on March 16, after three years of hard study, after Gao Cheng's examination, he was appointed to preside over the compilation of new laws.
In the seventh year of Taichang (538), in June, 12 articles of the new law were sealed, with a total of 949 articles.
This "Taichang Law", Gao Cheng brewed for four years, but Yuwen Taibai praised this law after reading it, and it only took a few days for the grammar officials to modify it slightly according to his wishes, and it became the law of the Western Wei Dynasty.
The Western Wei Dynasty Tianzi Yuanbao torch year name is unified, so it is called "Datong Law".
When the news came back to Kanto, Gao Cheng was angry and helpless.
Science and technology can be kept secret, but if you hide the law, won't it become a punishment for not teaching, since it is to be widely known, how can you cover Yuwentai's ears and eyes.
An opponent who is talented and knowledgeable, but can put down his body and learn from the strengths of others, is really difficult.
If it weren't for the big gap in strength between the two parties, I was afraid that Gao Cheng would really love and kill Yuwentai for the rest of his life, and finally rely on his youth to survive the other party.
However, Yuwentai is not only the ability to plagiarize, last year Shayuan won a big victory, in order to reward the merits, the Western Wei Dynasty Tianzi Yuan Bao Torch awarded Yuwentai the post of governor of the Chinese and foreign military.
Under the tremendous pressure brought by the Eastern Wei Dynasty, Yuwentai immediately reformed the military command system.
He expanded the number of full-time soldiers by 8,000 people, and divided the Western Wei soldiers with a total of 48,000 people into six armies, each with 8,000 people, under the command of Zhao Gui, Li Hu, Li Bi, Yu Jin, Dugu Xin, Hou Mo and Chen Chong.
At the same time, Yuwentai adopted the eight-part system of Xianbei in the form, established the eight-pillar country, in addition to himself and the commander of the six armies, plus another Guangling Wang Yuanxin, who had no real power and was only in name.
Under the commander of the six armies, there are two generals each, each leading 4,000 troops, and there are two Kaifu under the command of the general, leading 2,000 soldiers respectively, and Kaifu has two Yitong, each leading 1,000 soldiers.
The Six Pillars, the Twelve Generals, the Twenty-four Kaifu, and the Forty-Eight Yitongs have a clear context and have certain advantages over the Eastern Wei and Southern Liang at the same time.
Gao Cheng, who was in Luoyang, turned a blind eye to this, and when he came, the main force of the Eastern Wei soldiers was far away in Jinyang and was not under his jurisdiction.
Second, the military system that was suitable for the Western Wei was not necessarily suitable for the Eastern Wei.
It is impossible for Gao Huan and Gao Cheng to follow the example of the Western Wei Dynasty, maintain the clan relationship of Xianbei in the relationship between soldiers and officers, and distribute 200,000 Bingzhou Hu to the generals.
In the final analysis, the main force of 48,000 people in the Western Wei Dynasty was not owned by Yu Wentai alone, and his superior position was only the accidental death of He Bayue, who was elected by everyone, which was equivalent to the leader elected by an entrepreneurial group.
Otherwise, it would not have been until Shayuan won a great victory, and Yuwentai would have gained the military of the Chinese and foreign countries as the governor and became the supreme military commander of the Western Wei Dynasty.
Gao Cheng was not concerned about the Western Wei system, but about Yuwentai's move to expand the army by 8,000 people.
Kansai is still struggling today, not only because Dou Tai and Wei Digan trampled on Weibei during spring ploughing, but also because the lack of population has not been replenished after the great drought.
In such a situation, Yuwentai still gritted his teeth to expand the full-time soldiers, which shows that even if he copied Gao Cheng's various decrees and promoted reforms in Kansai, he only did it when the soldiers were resting.
His focus is still on the military level, rather than recuperating and seeking development.
Between Jiang Wei and Fei Yi, he chose to be Jiang Wei, so the tax burden of the people of the Western Wei Dynasty was much higher than that of the Eastern Wei Dynasty, after all, with such a small population, not only had to maintain 48,000 full-time soldiers, as well as soldiers from various prefectures and counties, but also affected by Gao Cheng's vicious competition, and needed to pay the soldiers.
The financial pressure was no lighter than that of the Eastern Wei Dynasty during the defeat of the Western Expedition.
However, at the level of people's livelihood, Yuwentai is not without achievements, and the law of accounting and household registration is proposed to be calculated and registered, that is, the approximate number of conscription in the following year, so that the levy and distribution of conscription are more reasonable.
If Yuwentai received the treasure, he ordered it to be promoted in the land of Kansai, and once again emphasized that anyone who did not understand the "Six Edicts" and the method of accounting could not be an official.
According to the actual situation of the Eastern Wei Dynasty, Gao Cheng made adjustments to the accounting and household registration methods of the Western Wei Dynasty, and handed it over to the Zuohu Cao of the Household Department to be specifically responsible for the management, and the staff member Lu Xunzu served as the Zuohu Cao Langzhong.
This is also his reward for Fan Yang Lu's active cooperation with Gao Qian's governance in Youzhou.
Gao Gan led thousands of servants to take up the post of Youzhou Assassin, and he learned the lessons of his second brother Gao Shen when he was in Gwangju, and strictly restrained the slave family members and forbade them to harass the place.
And Gao Cheng's new father-in-law, Lu Daoqian, was also courteous to Gao Huan in Bingzhou.
The predecessor of Gwangju Assassin Shi Gaoshen was also able to work hard in Qizhou, and when everything was thriving, bad news came from Gwangju.
Gwangju assassination history, Bohai native Gao Zhan died of old illness in office at the age of sixty-three.
Gao Cheng posthumously presented the envoys, auxiliary generals, governors, and military personnel of Qing Erzhou.
For the mourning after death, King Xiao Gao has always been generous.
As for who should fill the vacancy in the history of Gwangju, Gao Cheng made a difficulty.
After thinking about it for a long time, Gao Cheng decided to transfer Du Bi, the lieutenant of the imperial history, to serve as the assassin of Gwangju and govern the Jiaodong Peninsula.
Since Song Youdao, the vicious dog, became Shangshu Zuocheng, the imperial platform led by Du Bi has gradually become idle.
Gao Cheng prefers Du Bi to be honest and brave in his work.
It must also be admitted that in terms of combating corruption, Song Youdao is far more suitable than this upright gentleman.
Because of the merit of cultivating the law, he entered the Gaocheng shogunate and served as the former imperial history seal of the Fa Cao to join the army, and was able to enter the imperial history platform and succeed as the lieutenant of the imperial history.
It's the end of July, and it's the busy time for farming.
Due to the desertion of Weibei and the fact that they did not dare to go deep into Weinan alone, Dou Tai and Wei Digan were not ordered to attack and disturb Guanzhong as they did during the spring ploughing, and it seemed that the long-lost peace between the two Wei Dynasty was about to be ushered in.
A little Kavin, think about it tonight, 1W2 tomorrow.
Last time I said 7. 8, 9 days a day 1W2, if you can't do it, you will send 200 red envelopes for every day you miss, a total of 400 red envelopes owed to everyone, old buddies can add a group 854398275, and it will be sent at 12 o'clock at noon tomorrow.
If you don't do 1W2 tomorrow, I'll send you a red envelope the day after tomorrow.
