Chapter 360: Reward (3000)
Ku Ding slaughtered the black bull that had been prepared long ago, and Gao Cheng stood on the altar and read aloud the edict of enthronement:
"Emperor Chencheng, dare to use Xuanmu to announce to the Emperor and Empress: There is one in one hundred and sixty years of the Wei family, but since the Zhengguang has fallen, the country has been in trouble, and the people are in misery.
"At the time of the tyranny of Erzhu, the minister's father offered his arms, was angry and raised the army, broke Erzhu Zhao in Hanling, and Kuang Fu Sheji; Drive Yu Wentai in Weishui, mix a territory, have the merit of rebuilding the Wei room, and the sea is graced.
"Emperor Wei came to an end, and the heavens were tired of his virtues, so he gave the ministers Cheng with an artifact, and the ministers were afraid of the mandate of heaven, but there were nine words, and Emperor Wei and the princes asked for ten times, and Xian said: 'The mandate of heaven cannot be resigned, the position of heaven cannot be false, and the ministers cannot be without an owner. ,
"Chen Cheng is on the first day, ascending the altar to receive Zen, setting up sacrifices to tell the great gods, there must be the name of the world called Qi, pray for me Qi Zuo Yongchang."
On New Year's Day in 548 A.D., Gao Cheng, the king of Qi, accepted Yuan Shanjian Chan Rang in Shouchan Tai, that is, the emperor's throne, changed the country name to Qi, and set the year name as Zhaode. (Draw the name of the year chosen by lot)
Because his own situation is similar to that of the Cao family's father and son, it is the father who lays the foundation and wins the country by the son, so he follows the story of Cao Wei and creates the foundation as the Taizu, and sets the temple name for Gao Huan as the Taizu, and the name Emperor Wu.
As for Yang Jian and Li Yuan, Yang Zhong and Li Hu were named Taizu Temple, so they naturally regarded them as the people who created the foundation.
Yang Jian and Li Yuan, who founded the country, followed Cao Pi's old practice to harvest the temple name of Gaozu, and it is conceivable that after Gao Cheng's death, he will inevitably be respected as Gaozu by his descendants.
After all, the temple number of the founding monarch needs to be the ancestor, and the temple number of Shizu and Taizong contains the meaning of inheritance of small sects, such as Liu Heng of Han Taizong, Li Shimin of Tang Taizong, and Ming Taizong and Ming Shizu Zhu Di are all inherited by small sects, and it is impossible to put it on the eldest son of Gao Cheng.
As for Gao Huan's name for Emperor Wu, Gao Cheng is like Cao Pi, who intends to leave the better Emperor Wen to himself.
If you want to come to Cao Pi to serve Cao Cao, you also have your own ambition to unify the four seas, cover your father, and then let your son Zhenwen have the ambition.
It's just that this ambition brought regret into the coffin because of its short life.
Gao Cheng and Cao Pi did the same thing, but also had the same ambition, the greatest credit for the unification of the north is ultimately attributed to Gao Huan, if you want to surpass your father, after death, you will be blameless to take the title of Emperor Wen, the only way to mix the north and the south.
On the day of the Zen throne, Yuan Shanjian moved out of the palace city, and Gao Cheng arranged a large mansion in Luoyang to settle down temporarily.
On the second day of the first month of the first year of Zhaode (548), Luoyang Miyagi ushered in his new master.
On the third day of the first lunar month, the first court meeting of the Gaoqi Dynasty was held in the Mingguang Palace, and the first edict of the Son of Heaven was issued by Gao Cheng, the first edict of the Son of Heaven was awarded, and the soldiers were rewarded with two pieces of cloth and silk, and each of the foreign soldiers was given one piece of cloth.
Gao Qizhong soldiers had 110,000 soldiers from Gyeonggi Army, 90,000 Xianbei soldiers from Liang, Shaanxi and Guangzhou Prefectures, 50,000 sailors, 20,000 Liao soldiers, 20,000 Jinyang garrisons, 10,000 Longyou garrisons, and 10,000 Guanzhong garrisons, totaling 310,000 and a total of 620,000 horses of cloth.
After many years of reduction and withdrawal of foreign soldiers, there were 300,000 state and county soldiers in the Kanto region and 100,000 state and county soldiers in the Guanlong region, totaling 400,000, and a total of 400,000 silk cloth horses.
Only this edict will allocate 1.02 million pieces of cloth and silk from the treasury, which is also the reason why Gao Cheng is not willing to usurp the throne until today. ….
As for the military generals, they are mostly rewards on the title.
Before the Gao dynasty of Wei, inheriting the practice of the late Northern Wei Dynasty, only the descendants of the founding monarch of the Northern Wei Dynasty, Daowu Emperor Tuoba, could receive the king, the so-called king with different surnames, only Gao Huan and Gao Cheng.
Now that the Gao family founded the country, it is naturally impossible to strictly restrict the lords from entering the throne, although the princes of the Northern Qi Dynasty in history are indiscriminate, but the rewards are also huge, no matter how the royal family of the Northern Qi Dynasty is barren, the lords are firmly for the Gao family business.
[In other words, it is the best way to read aloud and listen to books at present, @
Great merit, you can still be promoted from a duke to a prince, but you can only last for one lifetime.
Gao Cheng changed Gao Yang to the king of Danyang County, Jianzhou Thorn Shi Gao Jun was named the king of Yongan County, Jiaozhou Thorn Shi Gao Yan was named the king of Pingyang County, Gao Xun was the king of Pengcheng County, Gao Yan was the king of Changshan County, Gao Shu was the king of Xiangcheng County, Gao Xiang was the king of Gaoyang County, Gao Ji was the king of Boling County, and Gao Zhan was posthumously named the king of Changguang County.
He also named the eldest son Gao Xiaozhang as the king of Taiyuan County (Jinyang), the second son Gao Xiaoyu as the king of Jingzhao County (Chang'an), the third son Gao Xiaowan as the king of Guangping County (Yecheng), the fourth son Gao Xiaoqian as the king of Lanling County, and the fifth son Gao Xiaocong as the king of Hanoi.
This batch of canonizations belongs to direct seals, that is, regardless of whether there is merit or not, whether there is a title before or not, he is canonized as a king by birth.
Gao Cheng did not include the rest of the clans and relatives in the direct feudal system, and whether they conferred the title of prince was the same as the rest of the generals and ministers, it all depended on merit.
After all, Gao Cheng is different from Gao Yang, Gao Yang, who has an unstable foundation, in order to win people's hearts, but all the clans are named kings, such as Gao Xianguo's Shenwu from his ancestors. There is no talent, and the clan is cautious, in the first year of Tianbao, he was crowned King Xiangle, and such things are absolutely impossible to happen in Gao Cheng's hands
As for the ministers who were crowned kings, Gao Cheng promulgated three standards, participated in the establishment of Xindu, made outstanding meritorious contributions, and held the position of county prince before the founding of the country, all of them were crowned kings.
For example, his uncle Lou Zhao was posthumously crowned the king of Puyang County.
Awarded the Governor of the Naval Division, Di Gan Zhangwu County King, Shizhong Dou Tai Guang'a County King, Xuzhou Thorn Shi Gao Yue Qinghe County King, General Gao Ao Cao Yongchang County King, General Peng Le Chen Liujun King, Qinzhou Thorn Shi Panle Hedong County King and so on.
The only exception is Duan Shao's father Duan Rong, who did not get the title of county duke during his lifetime, but Gao Cheng still posthumously crowned him the king of Pingyuan County, and enjoyed the Gaohuan temple court with Lou Zhao, Wei Jing and others, and his son Duan Shao was demoted to the first rank according to the rules and was awarded the title of Pingyuan County Duke.
Duan Shao, Hu Luguang, Gao Jishi and others were all too low in titles before the founding of the People's Republic of China and were not among the kings.
However, Hou Yuan, Hou Jing, Ke Zhu Hunyuan, Liu Feng, Wang Sizheng and others have not participated in the establishment of Xindu, so they are not among the kings.
Gao Cheng encouraged everyone that after the founding of the country, if they make great contributions, they can also be crowned kings, and they are no longer limited by the identity of the father of the left order.
Gao Cheng's three closest generals, Duan Shao, Hu Luguang, and Gao Jishi, all strictly abide by these three standards, and they are not crowned kings, and everyone is not easy to beak. ….
The only thing that made a fuss was Wei Jing's son Wei Cang, hoping that Gao Cheng would posthumously crown the prince for his father, and Wei Jing did meet the two conditions of Xindu Jianyi and being a duke, but he was not among the meritorious ones, and was rejected by Gao Cheng.
Wei Cang cried: 'If the Son of Heaven does not crown his father as king, Wei Cang might as well die, Gao Cheng sent Duan Shao, who returned to Beijing to take up his post, to bring a piece of white silk, and when he saw his cousin coming to the truth, Wei Cang finally shut up and stopped making trouble.
The old grudge between Gao Cheng and Wei Jing is known to the world, and the nobles of the court did not care about this farce.
After all, although Wenchen was promoted quickly, the title was far less than that of military generals, and only Gao Longzhi, Sun Teng and Gao Qian, who had just stepped down from the history of Youzhou Assassin, could get the king.
There is a promotion and a descent, the Gao family is the Wei dynasty, the Yuan Wei clan is below the prince, and the knight is demoted to one rank according to the rule, and the lowest-level townsmen are demoted to commoners.
Yuan Shanjian, the last son of heaven in the Yuan Wei dynasty, was demoted to the title of Duke of Pingyang, retained the etiquette of the Son of Heaven, and allowed him to worship Wei Zhengshuo and the clothes in his fiefdom, and built the Wei Zong Temple to worship Wei.
Of course, the 50,000 pieces of cloth owed to Gao Cheng still have to be repaid slowly with food.
Gao Cheng also made meritorious efforts to persuade him, and awarded Yang Su, Chen Yuankang, Cui Jishu, Cui Xian and other henchmen as dukes.
The rest of the ministers and military generals who did not get the title of king, followed the example of the old things of the Wei Dynasty in the Western Jin Dynasty, and all retained their original titles, neither promoted nor demoted, and most of them were mainly rewarded with material rewards.
arranged the men's rewards, and the next step was naturally the harem of the Great Qi Tianzi.
Gao Chengzun's mother Lou Zhaojun is the queen mother, considering the relationship with Rouran, she set up the pregnant Worm Princess as the queen, but the Worm Princess has been in poor health, and she can't ride a horse to hunt after pregnancy, and she looks depressed all day long, Gao Cheng is busy usurping the country and has no time to be distracted by her.
Yuan Zhonghua, Erzhu Ying'e,
The Song family is the third lady, below the queen, and the most in the harem.
There are nine concubines under it: Yuan Mingyue, Xiao Erzhu, Li Changyi, Li Zu'e, Yuwen sister-in-law, Wang Sizheng's queen's family, Yuan Yuyi and Yuan Shanjian's two young daughters.
With Yao Shun's old system and Cao Pi's story in front, Gao Cheng still followed the rules, but the two former princesses of Dawei were too young, the oldest was only eight years old, and the youngest was only six years old, so he was only raised in the palace, anyway, he had never done this kind of thing, and he would salute when he became an adult.
Under the nine concubines, there are twenty-seven women such as Yuan Jingyi, Li Zuyi, Lu Daoqian's daughter Lu, and Da Youbai of the Western Regions, etc., but Gao Cheng has never included the women of Yaoguang Temple into the palace, after all, as the last loyal minister of the Great Wei, His Majesty the Great Qi Emperor has never had anything to do with Yaoguang Temple before, now, and in the future.
Of course, after living in the palace for a long time, it is understandable to go out of the palace at night to breathe, after all, Weifu has a private visit to observe the people's feelings.
Under the twenty-seventh wife, there are still eighty-one royal wives, but now they don't even occupy the position of the hereditary wife, let alone the royal wife.
Since there are so many vacancies in the harem, it is natural to find a way to make up for it, Gao Cheng ordered Wen Zisheng to send an envoy to Nanliang again, asking Xiao Yan to marry his granddaughter, the daughter of the prince Xiao Gang, and the princess Xiao Miaochun of Liyang.
It is rumored that although this Nanliang princess is only twelve, her tone rhythm, love poetry, and appearance are better than flowers, and she is deeply loved by Xiao Yan.
The main purpose of Wen Zisheng's trip on the bright side was to inform the neighbors of the changes in the northern society, and Gao Cheng also sent people to Rouran, Tuyuhun, Goguryeo, etc.
Only did not go to Bashu, after all, from Gao Cheng's point of view, Yuwentai and others had already surrendered to Nanliang and became Liang Chen, so there was no need to make another trip.
