Chapter 146: Heading South

www

After the title is adjusted, only King Chen Liu and King Hongnong are currently called kings, and the titles of the two do not need to be changed.

In the court, the titles of Cao Cao, Lu Bu, and Ma Teng need to be changed, among which Lu Bu and Cao Cao were both renamed marquises, and Ma Teng was renamed earl.

There is no regional name on the title, which means that although the title of the court can enjoy many treatments in the future, there is no fief, not even a food estate.

Liu Xuan's financial subsidy for enjoying the imperial court according to the rank of the title was directly set up from the household department of the imperial court, which means that the title under the new system did not directly enjoy the power of local taxes.

Even if it is a prince, Liu Xuan also arranged it this way, although Liu Wei and Liu Xie's position as a prince is not shaken, they will not go to the 'fiefdom' to enjoy the local taxes, they are also the same as others, all the benefits they enjoy are obtained from the imperial court. This can be regarded as a change of direction and tightened the connection between the imperial court and these people.

In addition, there were originally some old ministers in the court who enjoyed the old titles, but these people Liu Xuan didn't care, anyway, these people are not young, it is estimated that after this battle, this group of people will leave the court one after another, and then with the passage of time, they will also turn into a handful of loess - to put it bluntly, they are people who will die sooner or later, don't pay attention.

The new title system was promulgated, and as Liu Xuan expected, there was indeed a group of people who jumped out to express their dissatisfaction, especially the royal family reacted the most violently, and even Liu Ai, who had gone home to retire, was invited out by this group of people.

In the face of this old minister who has assisted him for more than ten years, and he is also an elder, Liu Xuan maintained the respect he deserved, but he did not give any face on this issue.

"The world is in turmoil, the court needs to be changed, the system needs to be changed, I don't think there is anything wrong with this! There are so many clansmen in the world, those who have the ability can naturally get the rewards they deserve, and as for those moths, there is no need for the royal family to waste even a grain of grain for this kind of person!"

Liu Ai wanted to speak, but found that he didn't know what to say. Although he was elected to discuss this new title system with the Son of Heaven, he himself did not want to come out of this.

is older, and he has left the court, so that Liu Ai stands from a bystander perspective when he looks at many things, so that he sees many things that he ignored before.

Today's world is no longer the world it used to be.

Today's Son of Heaven is not a mediocre king like the previous emperor.

What's more, when today's son is ambitious, looking at all the things he does, reviving the Han family is obviously not his real goal, maybe recovering the world's rivers and mountains is just the beginning!

How could such an ambitious son of heaven tolerate someone dragging himself back?

Of course, if you are a benevolent king, you may have to worry a lot, but when today's son is obviously not, and even since the Han Dynasty, the kings of all dynasties have not been as decisive as this son of heaven - it is really a word of nonsense to kill.

Don't look at the fact that Liu Xuan didn't kill many people, and he couldn't even compare to Emperor Huan and Emperor Ling, but who were the people killed today?

You Heng, the famous scribe of the time!

Kong Rong, the great Confucian in the world, and that is after the Confucian sage!

These two people have to weigh it carefully for any king, and most of them may not kill in the end, but when it comes to today, it doesn't mean that they will be killed?

As for what the consequences will be? It is impossible for the Son of Heaven not to know about it now, but he just doesn't care.

As soon as these two were killed, which minister in the court today was careful and careful when he spoke, for fear that he would anger the Son of Heaven if he was not careful, otherwise the loss of office would be small, and it might even implicate the whole family - although the method of killing the nine clans had not been used a few times, it was like a long knife hanging above everyone's heads, exuding a chill that kept reminding them. ...,

Liu Xuan has not wielded a butcher knife in the past two years, which is actually related to the killing of Nakong Rong.

The ministers are cautious, and no one wants to be the unlucky ghost who died in vain.

In addition to this, it is also related to the fact that Liu Xuan's decrees implemented in the past few years have made that group of people unable to understand, everyone is busy adapting to everything new, including new technology, new ideas and new lives, and they have no heart to compete with the Son of Heaven.

Such a day is pure, but it is a little boring, but fortunately, Huang Yueying was not idle, and made some better things, which allowed Liu Xuan to pass a lot of time.

After sending Liu Ai away, Liu Xuan was busy with only one thing in the next few days: preparing for the southern expedition!

With the arrival of the new year, the battle situation in Jingzhou has also reached the most critical moment.

As expected, Liu Biao died suddenly at the most critical time of the war, and the Cai family and the Kuai family united many forces in Jingzhou to negotiate with Sun Ce to seek an armistice.

This time, Jingzhou was completely in chaos.

Although the Cai family and the Kuai family control most of the power in Jingzhou, Liu Biao has not just been good-looking there for so many years, and there are many families who are friendly with him in private, plus the eldest son Liu Qi has been running in many ways, thinking that the cause of Liu Biao's death has many strange things, and requires a detailed investigation, so the Cai family has stepped up contact with Sun Ce while letting the Kuai family suppress the opposing forces.

It can be said that this is the best time for the imperial court to send troops, not only is the division famous, but Sun Ce's foothold is not stable, and the Cai family is questioned, and the strong intervention of the imperial court army can also minimize the resistance of the locals.

"Therefore, Lu Bu is the vanguard, commanding 10,000 forbidden troops, tiger and leopard cavalry, and feather forest cavalry! I have led 40,000 Chinese troops behind!"

With 10,000 forbidden troops plus two elite legions, and Lu Bu in charge, Liu Xuan really didn't believe that anyone could resist such a combination.

At the same time, Liu Xuan took Sima Yi as the marching staff (the marching staff officers set up by Liu Xuan were all temporarily appointed during wartime, and they were of the same nature as the governor, and were not official positions) to accompany Lü Bu in the front army.

There are also Lu Xiang, Lu Kuang, Jiao Touch, Chun Yuqiong and others in front of the tent to obey orders, which is convenient for Lu Bu to transfer, plus Zhang Liao, Ma Chao, Tai Shici in Yulin Cavalry, and Cao Ren, Cao Hong and Cao Chun in Tiger and Leopard Riding, the combination of this vanguard army is simply gorgeous.

Liu Xuan himself sat in the Chinese army, and the generals around him were Zhang Xiu, Xu Rong and Xu Huang, and there were many civil servants who accompanied the army to deal with some government affairs nearby, and then after entering Jingzhou, they would meet Liu Bei, Huang Zhong, Zhao Yun, Zhu Ling and others.

As for Liu Xuan's original plan to return to the eastern area of Jiangdong by sea and then carry out a landing operation, because he was ready to let Sun Quan flee overseas, he gave up, otherwise the siege would be too strong and Sun Quan would not even run.

The army set off, Lu Bu had already taken the soldiers and horses first, but Liu Xuan's Chinese army was not so easy to set off, and he inked in Beijing for a while, and when he finally set off, Liu Xuan's core of the Chinese army was not only a few more carts, but also a little more noisy sound.

This time with the army, Liu Xuan brought all his women with him, and Cai Yan originally felt a little inappropriate, but Liu Xuan blocked Cai Yan's various arguments in one sentence: "It's time to travel to the south!"

Zhen Mi originally wanted to agree with Cai Yan, but after thinking about it, she found that she also wanted to see the difference between the scenery in the south and the north, so in the end, she firmly rebelled and fell to Liu Xuan's side.

Diao Chan is what Liu Xuan said she listened to, so she nodded and agreed at the beginning, and Er Qiao also wanted to go back to her hometown to see, and there was no reason to refuse. Not only did he not refuse, but he even looked at Cai Yan with eyes full of desire and expectation. ..., coupled with Huang Yueying, who was coquettish and coquettish with the whole person hanging on Cai Yan, Cai Yan finally had only one choice.

However, with so many women going out with the army, there are many troubles to be solved, and many people who eat, drink, and serve must bring with them.

Fortunately, Huang Yueying made a hovering car, with this kind of transportation weapon, no matter how many people she brings, it will have no effect on the army, it is nothing more than to expand the circle to be included.

Liu Xuan stood at the top of a hovercar, which was a specially made area, surrounded by iron railings in four circles, standing here without worrying about falling, and enjoying the surrounding scenery as much as he wanted.

In addition, the hovering car is already very stable, and it is relatively slow to drive at this time, and it will not feel bumpy.

Looking left and right, front and back, it was full of soldiers, plus flags waving in the wind and herald cavalry that shuttled through the military formation from time to time......

"It's spectacular!"

Huang Yueying, who was standing on the side, stared at a pair of round eyes, it was the first time she saw a real army of thousands of horses marching, and the scene of no people in front and back and left and right brought her great shock.

"It turns out that the real army is like this, it's just weak in the movie!"

Da Qiao, who stretched out his hand to prevent Huang Yueying from accidentally falling, tilted his head: "Movie?" I don't understand what it is.

Huang Yueying waved her hand: "You'll know later!" Then she raised her foot and stepped on the railing, wanting to stand higher, but was pulled back by Da Qiao: "Be careful, don't mess around!"

In other words, when Huang Yueying came out this time, she thought that her father would object, but she didn't expect her old father to say nothing, just nodded and said that she knew.

She didn't know, because she had been running in and out of the palace all day long over the years, and she was so familiar with the emperor and the queen and all the nobles and beauties, almost the entire Chang'an and Luoyang knew that Huang Yueying would definitely be the woman next to the emperor in the future.

Now even people who value Huang Chengyan's identity and fame and who really value Huang Yueying's own talent will not come to propose marriage to the Huang family, but no one dares to rob a woman with the Son of Heaven.

Over time, Huang Chengyan also saw it.

Anyway, I have to get married after all, and it's a good thing to have a good relationship with the queen and the concubines as soon as possible, so I don't care about her, but when I chat with my friends in private, I will inevitably be teased about it.

But Huang Yueying, this girl, didn't feel it at all, and wondered how her father became so talkative? But as soon as she went out and saw such a scene, all these things were thrown into the corner by her.
