Three days passed in the blink of an eye, and at the time of this day, Liu He was waiting in the front hall early for the courtiers who came to participate in the great court meeting.

This was the first great court meeting in the first year of Dingxin, and from this moment on, Liu He became the emperor of the Han Empire at all levels.

He worshiped the high temple, he gave Emperor Xiaowu the temple number, he won the hearts of the people, he was pro-government, he overthrew the ministers, and he had the name of the year......

In the original timeline, all of the above things that could make an emperor more justifiable, Liu He, the king of Changyi, had never done.

However, just walking here, Liu He was still very dissatisfied

It looks like it's gone far, but it's not far enough, and it's just getting started.

Soon, the chiming clock of the hour was heard in the temple......

Liu He, who was high above, saw through the gap between the nine strings of beads in front of the crown that the shadows of the ministers were distorting and walking into the hall.

Zhang Anshi, Bingji, Zhao Chongguo, Han Zeng, Wei Xiang, Huang Ba, Wang Shi, Wang Ji......

Those who should have come have come today.

"The ministers ask Tianzi'an!" The ministers bowed down.

"Zhongqing is flat." Liu He said indifferently.

"No."

Above the court, the monarchs and ministers saluted, as usual.

According to the system, the Son of Heaven will first ask the courtiers about the government, and then make a decision after the three princes and nine secretaries have expressed their opinions.

In this way, the courtiers fulfilled their obligations as courtiers, and the Son of Heaven had the generosity of the Son of Heaven, and each got what he wanted.

Huo Guang is gone, but the rules can't be messed up.

Liu He looked at Fan Ke, who was sitting in front of him, and after confirming that the other party was ready with paper and pen, he finally cleared his throat and let the courtiers look at him.

"Today is the first big court meeting in the first year of Dingxin, and I am very pleased to see that all of you Aiqing are safe and sound." Liu He said

"I am tired of Your Majesty's thoughts, and the ministers are grateful." The courtiers replied in unison, somewhat mechanically, and in order to make the sound more neat, they deliberately lengthened the voice, which seemed very weak.

"Today's court meeting, I have three things to discuss, these three things are all major events, I'm afraid it will be after noon......"

Zhang Anshi was a little surprised when he heard the words of the Son of Heaven, didn't His Majesty say that he only discussed the two things of feudal marquis and promotion of courtiers?

Why is there an extra one all of a sudden?

Although the big court meeting cannot be said to be a complete formality, the things discussed will often be ventilated in the small court discussion now, so as not to cause extraneous branches.

A few months ago, in order to deal with Huo Guang, the Son of Heaven often made sudden attacks at the Great Court Meeting, which caught Huo Guang off guard.

This is naturally a game-changing plan.

However, now that Huo Guang has fallen, shouldn't he return to his original system?

The Shangshu Administration, the Small Dynasty Council and the Great Dynasty Council each have their own roles.

The Son of Heaven and the officials of the inner court discussed the major affairs of the court in the small court meeting, and then let the foreign court officials fill in the gaps in the big court meeting.

This set of processes is a continuation of Emperor Xiaowu, from the inside to the outside, layer by layer, very suitable.

Did the Son of Heaven not know this process, or did he forget that Huo Guang had already been ambushed?

In fact, Zhang Anshi was not alone, but the courtiers who had participated in the small court meeting three days ago all looked at the Son of Heaven with doubt.

But the high Son of Heaven did not give them any response, and under the cover of the pearls, the face of the Son of Heaven was somewhat blurred.

Therefore, they could only press their patience, planning to listen to the Son of Heaven to finish today's affairs first, and then find another opportunity to admonish.

"Although the Han Dynasty was turbulent and difficult last year, all the rebels have been punished, and I have also issued an edict to reward the soldiers and military academies involved in the counterinsurgency with money and food, and knights according to the system."

"But there are still a few important ministers who have made special achievements, and their merits have been able to be crowned marquis, and today in this great court meeting, the secretaries will discuss this matter first."

After Liu He said this, Wei Xiang and Huang Ba, the courtiers who had made great contributions in the process of overthrowing Huo, immediately won the envious eyes of the courtiers around them.

"Zhang Qing, who do you think should be crowned marquis?" Liu He asked Zhang Anshidao.

"Your Majesty, the feudal marquis is a major matter of the country, and Weichen can't put his beak in it." Zhang Anshi hurriedly replied.

This is not Zhang Anshi's self-preservation, whether it is rewarding money and food or canonizing the marquis, it is the privilege of the Son of Heaven.

These are two things of a completely different nature from the normal appointment and dismissal of officials and courtiers.

Even if Zhang Anshi is the great general Sima and the secretary of the Lingshang, he can't speak at will.

What's more, Zhang Anshi is also a courtier who has made great contributions, so it is even more inconvenient to speak.

"Then what do you think of Bingqing?" Liu He asked Bingji again.

"Weichen doesn't dare to put his beak, it's all up to the Son of Heaven to decide." Bingji said again.

"Since that's the case, then I'll talk about what I think first, and if you have any opinions, I'll check and make up for it." Liu He said.

"Yui!" The courtiers in the front hall said in unison.

"The Alliance of White Horses" has a saying that if you are not Liu, you cannot be crowned king, and you cannot be crowned a marquis unless you have military merits...... However, from the point of view of the system, those who have merit can be crowned marquis, and this merit may not be a military merit. ”

"I'm not mistaken, right?" Liu He asked deliberately.

The ministers praised the Son of Heaven for his erudition and knowledge, and no one raised any objections.

"In this case, the person who is a marquis must at least make immortal merits."

"In the process of pacifying cholera, the most prosperous military achievements were the hussar general Han Zeng and the Wei general Zhao Chongguo."

"Han Zeng has been enthroned by his father Han Shuo as the Marquis of Dao, so the number of food estates has increased from 1,000 to 3,000; Zhao Chongguo was named the Marquis of Yingping, with 3,000 households. ”

Among the 20th rank of military merit, only the princes and princes have real food estates, but the number of food towns varies greatly, there are 10,000 marquis and 100 marquis.

The number of Wanhu Marquis is very small, there were so many honorable heroes when the Han Dynasty was built, and Emperor Taizu Gao only awarded Xiao He, Cao Shen and Zhang Liang three Wanhu Marquis.

And the nearest Wanhu Hou is Huo Guang, who has just been in a different place.

Therefore, the lieges of 3,000 households in this food town are already regarded as a very heavy reward.

As soon as Liu He finished talking about his decision, Han Zeng and Zhao Chongguo hurriedly got up and bowed, saying that they didn't dare to accept such a heavy reward.

"Only when rewards and punishments are clear, can we distinguish between right and wrong, loyalty and treachery, and the two Aiqing should make new contributions in the future instead of pushing back." Liu He Zhengse said.

"Thank you, Your Majesty for the reward, and the ministers will definitely live up to the grace." Han Zeng and Zhao Chongguo couldn't push back any longer, and hurriedly thanked them again with some trepidation.

"When the Huo family was in turmoil, Zhang Anshi and Bingji were in the middle of the dispatch, which was also a great achievement."

"Zhang Anshi has become the Marquis of Fuping, and the number of households has increased from 2,000 to 5,000; Bingji was named the Marquis of Boyang, and there were 5,000 households in the city. ”

This time, among the courtiers in the front hall, there was once again a sound of chattering.

O five thousand princes!

I haven't seen it for a long time, this is already a meritorious hero compared to the early days of chasing the Han Dynasty!

Zhang Anshi and Bingji didn't expect the reward to be so heavy, so they were even more panicked than Zhao Chongguo and Han Zeng just now.

They immediately came to the temple in some haste and then hurriedly bowed down, resolutely refusing to accept the reward of the Son of Heaven.

Liu He moved out for the same reason, and even put some anger on his face before forcing the two to accept the reward.

But when the two of them returned to sit down on the couch, they still kept wiping their sweat, and did not seem to have fully regained their composure.

Don't blame these two people for being cautious, after all, Mu Xiu will be destroyed by Lin Feng, and his status is too high, and he is very likely to be hated.

Liu He smiled and nodded gently on the surface, looking very satisfied and relieved, but he had a sneering face in his heart.

Now that I have obediently eaten the meat I have given you, when I will cut your heels with a knife, you will not cry out in pain again.

"Wei Xiang, Huang Ba, and Wang Ji also have immortal achievements."

"Wei Xiangfeng is the Marquis of Gaoping, Huang Ba is the Marquis of Jiancheng, Wang Ji is the Marquis of Anwu, and the food is 2,000 households."

Compared with the 5,000 households, the food of these 2,000 households looks a little more ordinary, and these three people are straightforward people, and they will soon be grateful.

"Prime Minister Cai Yi, who is not only an old minister of the former dynasty, but also the prime minister now, and the grandfather of Jieyu Cai, is named the Marquis of Yangping, and has 1,500 households."

Han Zeng, Zhang Anshi and others in front were all named Hou because of their great contributions, but Cai Yi did not contribute to the suppression of cholera.

But giving the prime minister the title of marquis is a system, and Cai Yi was frightened by the matter of "Qingjun side, punishing Cai Yi", so he deserves the title of marquis.

Many courtiers of the same age as Cai Yi saw that Cai Yi was made a marquis, and they were both relieved and sympathetic, but the Son of Heaven was still benevolent and gave Cai Yi the title of Marquis, and he could die blindly.

"Prime Minister Cai Yi is old and sick, and I can't bear to be punished anymore, so I am removed from his position as prime minister, but he still enjoys the prime minister's money and food, and he can be regarded as able to live for a long time."

At this time, the Han Dynasty did not have a clear system of telling the elderly, and a courtier either died of exhaustion in office, or was dismissed for making mistakes.

Now, although the Son of Heaven has removed Cai Yi from his official position, he has kept the money and food he deserves, which can be regarded as a benevolent act.

All of a sudden, the ministers got up and bowed again, saying that the Son of Heaven was sympathetic

Many miscellaneous doctors who are already old also seem to see some hope: there is no hope of promotion, so it is also a good result to be able to go home and tease Sun.

The courtiers were very satisfied, and Liu He was naturally even more satisfied.

He asked Cai Yi to say goodbye to the old, not just to pity Cai Yi, but to set an example for letting the courtiers say goodbye to the old in the future.

After all, the system starts with exceptions.

With Cai Yi's precedent, if he encounters a disobedient courtier in the future, Liu He can use the same reason to force him to sue his old man and his illness.

Dissuading the courtiers is much more decent than directly dismissing the official and cutting the lord.

Moreover, the removal of Cai Yi from the post of prime minister has a lot to do with the third thing to do today.

"Su Wu and Fu Jiezi intercepted the military intelligence of the Huo thief and the Xiongnu, which is also equivalent to military merits, both of them have been made princes, and the number of food has increased to 1,000 households."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Su Wu and Fu Jiezi stood up from the corner, and walked all the way to the hall to bow down to the Son of Heaven and thank him.

The former has no official position or position, and the latter is just a mere imperial horse supervisor and is not qualified to appear at the court meeting at all, so many people have forgotten their existence.

Now seeing these two people worshipping in the hall again, many courtiers naturally remembered their past exploits, and began to feel sorry for them being buried by Huo Guang.

Furthermore, these courtiers began to sigh that the Son of Heaven was more knowledgeable than Huo Guang, and he would definitely not let his talents be buried.

With this thought, many unwilling courtiers became more motivated, and the heart of fame and fortune was burning.

This is the benefit of rewarding merit according to merit, which can not only make the meritorious person grateful to Dade, but also make the unmeritorious person yearn for it.

It's a good way to manipulate people's hearts.

But today you can not only eat meat, but also "kill".
