Twenty-four years of Jian'an, spring.

In the battle of level crossing, Huo Fan made a surprise attack, attacked Jiaozhi County on the side of the floating sea, occupied the dragon weaving of the Zhisho, and captured the people of the Shi clan. Shi Xie led the army in the north, and when he saw that his abdomen and back were attacked, his foundation was lost, and he surrendered to Buqi and Lu Dai.

Huo Jun to Panyu, Jiaozhou Suiping!

At the same time, Cao Cao usurped the Han and the country name was Wei. Wu Chu rumored that Liu Xie was killed by Cao Cao, and Liu Bei was mourned in uniform and posthumously said that the emperor was filial piety.

Xu Shu, Pan Jun, Mi Fang and Yi, Liang Erzhou's subordinates played, saying that Cao Cao usurped, the Son of Heaven was killed, and there was no owner in China, so Liu Bei was asked to be the Son of Heaven.

Liu Bei refused, saying that it was appropriate to beg the thief and then discuss the restoration of the Han family.

A few days later, reports were played in various places, and Huanglong appeared in the thunder pool, soaring for nine days and flying straight; The phoenix went out of Dabie Mountain and disappeared into the Yangtze River; The turtle was born out of Chaohu Lake and was caught by fisherman Tu Chun; Qianwei is now a beautiful jade, and Li Yan is too shou to send it to Wuhan.

In the rest of the month, auspicious rui, proverbs, and nursery rhymes appeared all over the Southern Han Dynasty, which seemed to pave the way for Liu Bei to become emperor.

The following month, Liu Zhang, Zhang Lu, Sun Shao and the senior officials of the old Han Dynasty were dismissed, and Liu Bei was invited to the throne of the Son of Heaven. Liu Bei refused to accept the resignation and refused to see everyone.

At the same time, Huo Jun, who was far away in Jiaoling, also received a letter from Zhuge Liang.

Zhuge Liang mentioned only two problems in the letter, one of which was to persuade Liu Bei to be the emperor, and the third wave of the performance required Huo Jun to be named and presented to Jiaoling Xiangrui; The second is the issue of the ranking of heroes.

The first two performances are both preludes, and the core is played collectively in the third wave.

The third wave of joint names is sparse, that is, Liu Xi, the king of Langya of the old Han Dynasty, Liu Pu, the second general, Zhang Zhao, Taichang, Liu Xian, Guangluxun, Han Xuan, the former general, Huo Jun, the military general, Zhuge Liang, the left general, Guan Yu, the left general, and the right general Zhang Fei......

In conjunction with the auspicious activities of the third wave of collective performances, Guan Yu salvaged the jade seal from the Han River, and Huo Jun opened the carved pearl from the seashell.

The jade seal is the emperor, and the pearl is the crown!

Looking at the content of the arrangement on the letter, the corners of Huo Jun's mouth rose, Liu Bei called the emperor process, it can be said that it was arranged clearly by Zhuge Liang, to be auspicious, to have proverbs, to have etiquette.

"Shizai, let Lu Jun select thirty-six high-grade pearls, and let the attendants send them to Wuhan quickly." Huo Jun said.

The pearls of the Liangguang region can be traced back to the Qin and Han dynasties, and pearls have become local specialty products during the Three Kingdoms period, and are often used as tributes. During the reign of Shixie in Jiaozhou, he would pay tribute to Wuhan every year with pearls.

Now Shixie surrendered, and all the treasury of Jiaozhou was obtained by the Han army, and it was not difficult to select thirty-six pearls from them.

"No!"

After Huo Fan received the order to retreat, the Bu Qi in the hall was thoughtful and asked, "Zhong Miao, but will the king be the emperor?" ”

Huo Jun nodded and said with a smile: "Now that there are two pushes and two concessions, and the ministers are sparse and pushed, the king can be the emperor." The pearl was sought by Kong Ming to decorate the crown of the Son of Heaven. ”

Bu Qi stroked his short beard and said: "The king is the emperor, the reward for meritorious deeds, the Han family Ji Xing, when the hearts of the people are happy!" ”

As he spoke, Bu Qi smiled and said, "It is expected that with Zhong Miao's merits, he should be a general." ”

Huo Jun glanced at Zhuge Liang's letter, shook his head and said, "The general is not for my use, it should be General Guan!" ”

"Huh?"

Bu Qi showed a look of surprise on his face and said, "Zhong Miao is not a general, is it not a great Sima?" ”

"It's not Da Sima!"

Huo Jun put down Zhuge Liang's letter and said, "I want to be a hussar general." ”

Bu Qi frowned slightly, and said: "How can the hussar general and the general, the king takes General Guan as the general and Zhong Miao as the hussar general, I am afraid that he will treat Zhong Miao lightly!" ”

Huo Jun smiled lightly and said: "It's not a hussar general, it's a hussar general, and his official rank is the same as that of the general. ”

Seeing Bu Qi's doubts, Huo Jun got up and paced, and said: "Kong Ming's letter said that the king reminisced about the old feelings, and General Nianguan had followed him for more than 30 years, with outstanding meritorious achievements, high hard work, and was worried that his temperament would not be subordinate to others, and he was worried about the ranking of the generals. ”

Therefore, Kong Ming wanted to follow the example of Emperor Wu of the former Han Dynasty, and respected the hussar general as the hussar general, with the same rank as the general, above the three dukes. Today's letter was sent to Jiaoling in order to allow a certain person to be elected for an official position. ”

Worried about the monarch's worries and solving the difficulties of the monarch's worries, Zhuge Liang is relatively reasonable in dealing with Huo and Guan's official ranks.

Although he raised the hussar general to the position of the general, the general lost his uniqueness. But out of respect for Huo Jun, let Huo Jun choose one of the two and give the vacant one to Guan Yu.

Although this kind of distribution method seems to be child's play, it makes Liu Bei lose the authority of the commissioner, but this is indeed one of the solutions. not only satisfied Huo Jun's needs, but also solved Guan Yu's problem.

Of course, Huo Jun's reward is not only here, in order to highlight Huo Jun's respect, he added Shangshu affairs, participated in state affairs, and awarded Xuzhou pastor.

Whether it was for Huo Jun to choose, or out of a good impression of Huo Quai, and he took Guan Yu's thoughts into account, he chose the hussar general.

Gai is knowing the reason, Bu Qi sighed, and said: "The military advisor acts like this, not only respects Zhong Miao, but also does not treat General Guan lightly, which should be the best policy. ”

"Huh!"

Huo Jun stopped and said with a smile: "In the future, you should call the military advisor Prime Minister!" ”

Hearing this, Bu Qi's expression moved slightly, and he was surprised: "Could it be that Your Majesty wants to restore the old system of the former Han Dynasty?" ”

The prime minister is the prime minister and assists the monarch, and his position is high and powerful, and he is very capable of doing it.

In the Western Han Dynasty, the prime minister was the deputy of the prime minister early on, and then the prime minister was abolished and the prime minister was respected. After Emperor Wai of the Han Dynasty, in order to balance the central position, the prime minister was changed to Da Situ.

In the Eastern Han Dynasty, the first and last prime minister was served by the powerful minister Cao Cao.

When the Southern Han Dynasty was founded, Liu Bei successively promoted the two positions of hussar general and prime minister, and it was difficult not to think of Liu Bei wanting to learn the Western Han system.

Huo Jun sat back on the couch and said with a smile: "It is neither the old system of the former Han Dynasty nor the system of the Chinese Han Dynasty, it should be the new system of the Ji Han Dynasty!" ”

Huo Jun, who was a scholar of the Lu Shang Dynasty, participated in the construction of the center of the Southern Han Dynasty and knew that Liu Bei was inclined to the political system of the Western Han Dynasty because of the prosperous national strength of the Western Han Dynasty.

Under the innate personal preference, coupled with the understanding of the political system of the Western Han Dynasty, Liu Bei is not keen on the power system of the monarch alone, but prefers the monarch and the minister to rule the world together, which coincides with the political pursuit of Zhuge Liang and Huo Jun.

Zhuge Liang often uses celestial phenomena as a metaphor for the way of monarchs and ministers, such as the king of the North Star, the auxiliary ministers such as the three stars, the subordinate officials such as the stars, the people like the stars, the monarch is gracious, the ministers are respected by etiquette, and the ministers and guards are like the stars guarding the North Star.

Since the monarch and the minister are the stars, the celestial phenomena should have their own trajectory, and they should not deviate from the path. Under such rules, the monarch has the authority of the king, the courtiers have the terms of reference of the courtiers, and the rights of the monarch and the ministers are divided, and each performs his own duties. Therefore, Zhuge Liang has many thoughts of disapproval of the rule of a single husband.

Huo Jun had the idea of later generations, and did not advocate the centralization of absolute monarchy, but emphasized the centralization of power. Centralization does not mean absolute monarchy, absolute monarchy necessarily represents centralization, and there are both coincidences and inconsistencies between the two.

Centralization strengthens central power and weakens local power; The absolute monarchy strengthens the rights of the monarch and weakens the rights of the courtiers.

Although Liu, Ge, and Huo cannot be said to have the same concept, they are fortunate that they do not agree so much with the rule of a single husband, but prefer the political system of co-rule between monarchs and ministers.

Of course, this is obviously related to the defects of Liu Bei's personal ability, Liu Bei is good at uniting courtiers and recognizing talents; Zhuge Liang is good at governing the country and raising hundreds of officials.

Since it is the co-governance of monarchs and ministers, the prime minister system of the Western Han Dynasty is undoubtedly one of the most representative systems.

Now that the Southern Han Dynasty has opened the country, Zhuge Liang is not the prime minister, who can be the prime minister?

Therefore, the Southern Han Dynasty did not simply imitate the Han and Han systems, but created a state system that conformed to the Southern Han Dynasty itself.

"Ji Han's new system?"

Seeing Bu Qiu's puzzled expression, Huo Jun explained: "There is no impermanence in the world, and there is no eternal law. Although I, Ji Han, said that after the two Han Dynasty, how could I follow the old policy of the two Han Dynasty. Kong Ming is the prime minister, and he governs the country for the auxiliary monarch! ”

Bu Qi thought about it, and laughed at himself: "All the monarchs' official positions are subordinate, but since the level of the state, I don't know the future arrangement?" ”

Shi Xie led the army to surrender, and the battle of Jiaoling came to an end. Huo Jun, who was the governor of the war in Guangzhou, let Lu Dai be responsible for leveling the relations with Guang Sifangyi, and entrusted Buqi to arrange officials at all levels in the county.

At present, with the early peace of Jiaoguang, the two states of Guangzhou and Jiaozhou, which were previously split due to the war, will also be reunited into Jiaozhou.

Huo Jun recommended Lu Dai to serve as the candidate for the Jiaozhou Assassin History, rather than Bu Qi, the former Jiaozhou Assassin History. Although Bu Qi, who lost the history of Jiaozhou's assassination, can accept it, he also has distracting thoughts.

Gai is the speaker is unintentional, the listener is intentional, Huo Jun said with relief: "Zishan has been in Jiaozhou for a long time, and now he has the merit of leveling Jiaozhou." If you are appointed to the history of Jiaozhou again, wouldn't it mean to treat Zishan lightly? ”

"At the beginning of Dinggong, he was too guarded, and then he turned to assassinate Shi to quell the chaos. Today, there is a level of merit, the merit is the same as the king, and it is the history of the assassination of the state, not to mention the king? ”

Buqi's Jiaozhou Assassin Historical Position was occupied by Lu Dai, although there is no specific appointment today, but with Buqi's merits, there must be no problem in moving up. For example, after Liu Bei opened the country, he could choose one state from the two states of Jing and Yang to serve as the assassin.

Although Liu Bei is the king, in order to ensure his rights, he does the same thing as Cao Cao, and he still serves as the state pastor. For example, Cao Cao is the pastor of Jizhou, and Liu Bei leads the pastor of Yu, Jing and Yang. The military administration of the two states was handled by the Great Sima Mansion, and the person in charge was Zhuge Liang.

If Liu Bei is proclaimed emperor, in order to free up official positions for more people, it is difficult to say whether the two states of Jing and Yang will carve out new states, but the two states will definitely appoint assassins.

After receiving Huo Jun's enlightenment, Bu Qi was in a better mood, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty's founding of the country is imminent, but Qiu has thought too much!" ”

Seeing this, Huo Jun changed the topic and said: "Jiaozhi is remote, and it is the old seat of Shixie, and the population is solid. I want to divide the land west of Jiaozhi as a new county, I don't know what Zishan thinks? Or can there be a county warden recommendation? ”

Bu Qi pondered a little and said: "Jiaozhi is the place where the Shi family lives, and although it has moved to Wuhan now, there are many protégés and old officials. Divide and conquer new counties, and steal is feasible. ”

"As for the candidate for the new county taishou, Tao Ji, the governor of Hepu, should be competent. Jiaoyi does not know etiquette, and children only know their mothers, but not their fathers. Tao Ji can serve and give gifts. The southern expedition and the courage of the current situation made him the new county guard, which is a suitable candidate. ”

Except for a few areas, Jiaozhou is really a wild place. In addition to exploiting the barbarians, the Han Dynasty's governance of Jiaozhou actually brought civilization to the local area.

It is hard to imagine that the Jiaozhou barbarians in the late Han Dynasty were still in the era of matriarchal society, knowing their mother but not their father, and because they were located in the tropics, they lived by picking all year round, and lacked agricultural planting technology.

Huo Jun nodded and said, "Today, let Tao Ji enter Panyu, I will read it myself." If it is true as Zishan said, he can serve as the Taishou of Xinjun. ”

"Good!"
