Chapter 52: Theory of Practice
Lingnan, Xingwangfu. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
West of the city, Jinheli, Guiwangfu in the west district.
Because King Gui had reached the age of opening a mansion, in the last years of the first emperor Zhongzong Emperor Liu Shengqianhe, the crown prince Liu Jixing was proposed to be the crown prince of the Han Kingdom, the emperor changed the title of princes, and changed the title of his other four sons to the prince of one word.
And in order to show his royal style, in Jinheli, the most prosperous Xichengfang urban area of Xingwangfu, the second son Guiwang Liu Xuanxing established the prince's mansion. Whether it is to strengthen the royal male of the Liu family, or to improve the prestige of the Liu family's dynasty, to prove that he is from a prominent family in the Central Plains, the emperor has increased the title and prestige of the princes unusually.
And King Gui also left the palace to live in Jinchen after the first emperor Liu Sheng returned to heaven, whether it was out of the intention of the new emperor Liu Jixing or out of etiquette, King Gui had to leave the palace.
It may be because the Southern Han Dynasty court was located in Lingnan, and in the eyes of the Central Plains people, it was a wild land, a place used by the imperial court to exile and distribute people. Since ancient times, it has not been valued by literati and scholars, but there are some literati and people of insight, who are also the descendants of the exiles of those years. Of course, there are not some masters who have escaped the world, but there are very few who can really be used by the imperial court.
In addition, since Emperor Gaozu Liu Yan, the various emperors who ascended the throne as emperors were young, and they were not the kind of people with too much ambition, and they did not have the courage of Emperor Gaozu Liu Yan, and even Emperor Liu Sheng of Zhongzong and Emperor Xiang Liu Yin. Not only are the ministries and three provinces set up by the DPRK and the central government far from having enough standing officials at all levels, but they may also be worried that they will be too public, for fear of attracting the attention of the various separatist governments in the Central Plains, so each emperor has not even set up an empress.
After Emperor Zhongzong Liu Sheng killed his brother and ascended the throne, he also developed his own grand plan for several years, and also thought that his own majesty and grandeur would be developed. It's a pity that the good times didn't last long, because of the eyesight of the surrounding forces, coupled with the internal reasons of the Great Han Kingdom, it really died.
The surrounding areas such as the Southern Tang Dynasty were too strong at that time, and there were Dali, Annan, and Fujian on the side, and the Han Dynasty had always degraded military talents, and it was no longer able to go north and east. made Liu Sheng depressed all the time, and later heard that the Zhou State was rising and intended to go south, and the strong Shuzhong and Southern Tang were helpless, so he knew that one day the Great Han Kingdom would not be spared, and perhaps his early death had something to do with this.
In this era, although there are many separatist forces, all of them are called kings and emperors, but they generally have their own queens and queens, but in addition to Emperor Gaozu of the Southern Han Kingdom, the emperors who ascended the throne later did not have empresses.
Whether it is the emperor's personal reasons, or the fear of the tree, Zhongzong Liu Sheng only has a group of palace maids who came from the draft in the palace, and a group of various female dependents who have been annihilated by the family. Liu Sheng picked a few ladies according to the truth, and the more famous ones are Mrs. Yu Ma Min, Mrs. Ya Lu Ya, Mrs. Yuan (Concubine Li) Li Liji, and King Gui's mother, Mrs. Fang Pan Yulian.
It can be said that except for Mrs. Yuan, the rest of the ladies have a certain background. Mrs. Yu's family is now not small in Xingwangfu, and there are not a few children in the family who hold positions in the local government; Mrs. Ya's father, Lu Ying, had the prestige of the imperial court that day, and the limelight of his disciples now; And Mrs. Fang, who has come out, is admirable in every aspect.
Therefore, only Mrs. Yuan is more restrained among the ladies in the palace, and even if she became famous in the early stage of her accession to the throne, she was favored by Emperor Liu Sheng. Later, Madame Ma Min occupied a dominant position in the palace, but she had no news in the palace.
Maybe many people don't have any impression of Mrs. Yuan, even Liu Jixing will only see her on important occasions, so it is conceivable that she is low-key. But why does anyone still remember her, it shows that she not only hides her edge well, but also inadvertently appears at critical moments.
Of course, the ministers in the court and the central government are all old fritters, and they didn't see that Emperor Liu Sheng had the intention of establishing a queen, so they were naturally afraid of getting into trouble, so Mingzhe didn't squeak in the majority. Since then, Emperor Liu Sheng has never mentioned the queen, and those officials in the court, led by the emperor, do not dare to write a book, that is, every time they have diplomatic relations with foreign countries, they will say at most that the imperial concubine should deal with it.
The former prince of the prince, the current emperor Liu Jixing, his mother did not even remember himself, and he may have just been a concubine when Zhongzong was the prince. On the contrary, it was King Gui's mother, Mrs. Fang, Pan Yulian, although she had not been favored by Liu Sheng, but her position in the palace was stable. First, she gave birth to a prince and was named a prince, and second, her father was a general in the army. So when it came time for King Gui to open his mansion, all this benefited King Gui a lot, and everything fell into place.
The palace covers a huge area, and there are various subordinate officials of the palace. The palace is actually the same as the imperial city organization, separated from the inner and outer provinces, and the inner and outer palaces have royal officials. But because King Gui has not yet reached the age of crowning, there is actually not much difference between inside and outside King Gui's mansion now. However, as different from other governments and separatist forces, as the eldest prince under the crown prince of the Lingnan Han Kingdom, the Guiwang Mansion is still quite large and imposing.
King Gui's Mansion was agreed upon by Zongzheng Temple, and there was a prince under it; one in the army; two in royal literature; a sacrificial wine; the history of the royal palace; one Sima; one main bookkeeper, one historian, and one secretary of the army; Gong Cao joined the army one; One of the six divisions of the army, one from the government; Two pawns.
may be compared with the prince at the height of the former Tang Dynasty, these configurations of the prince's current subordinate officials are at least half less, of course, without the emperor's instructions, who dares to call the shots. But compared with the prince at the height of the former Tang Dynasty, the power of the prince now may not be small. In terms of the current situation of the Great Han State in Lingnan, there are still many chief officials in various ministries of the imperial court that have not been established, and the subordinate officials of the royal palace have complete functions. As a prince who has not yet been crowned, this is already a high courtesy.
The current Wang Fu of the palace is the new one after the death of Zhao Zhangzhou, the king of the palace that day, and is the first champion of the Gaozu Dynasty, Jianwen Hui, who was personally recommended by Zhao Zhangzhou. On that day, Zhao Zhangzhou, as the prince of Guiwangfu, was still the right servant of Emperor Zhongzong Liu Sheng, and it can be said that he was famous in Xingwangfu, much more famous than Li Yu, the prince of Weiwangfu.
Liu Jixing, the king of Wei, had an accident because of a fall from a horse, and he was a group of ministers led by Zhao Zhangzhou, who vigorously promoted King Gui as the crown prince. Later, contrary to his wishes, King Wei was not only restored, but also truly made the crown prince by the emperor. Since then, Zhao Zhangzhou has been treated coldly by the emperor, first on the grounds of his old age, he was relieved of his position as a right servant, and later he was exempted from the court.
Zhao Zhangzhou was ashamed and shocked, knowing that he couldn't afford to make big waves in the hands of Emperor Liu Sheng, although the crown prince crowned him as the prince of the country after he was imprisoned to show the grace of the court, but it also made him too frightened and ill since then. He was already old, and before Liu Sheng, he died before he survived the New Year. When he was dying, he did a good deed, that is, he recommended a prince to the fearful King Gui, which was approved by the emperor.
And this Wang Fu is, the literati Jianwenhui from Xianning County, Nanhai, he was promoted at the hands of Emperor Gaozu, and he continued to study and practice as a foreign officer, and finally came out in the hands of Emperor Liu Sheng, Zhongzong, and was transferred back to Xingwangfu as a Beijing official. He also did the county order of Panyu County, Xingwangfu in the capital, and in the last years of Qianhe, he actually became one of the famous literati in Xingwangfu, and is now famous for his squire Zanhuang Marquis Li Yu, and he has become the other sons of Emperor Liu Sheng, the teacher of those young princes.
After the new emperor Liu Jixing ascended the throne, Jian Wenhui still became the prince of Guiwangfu, but the level was still only a fourth grade, but Liu Jixing gave him a bachelor's title, and he could sometimes participate in court politics. And unlike the princes of the princes, this is a subordinate official title that really belongs to the prince.
Compared with the level of the prince of the Sui and Tang dynasties, the official rank of the prince of the Sui and Tang dynasties is two levels worse, and if it is divided into nine grades according to the official rank of the Sui and Tang dynasties, it is a full difference of four or five levels. Of course, now in the Liu Dynasty of the Southern Han Kingdom in Lingnan, it is extremely good to be able to achieve this level of official title, because there are no first- and second-grade officials in the court, and the highest level is a third-grade official. Moreover, as a position of master and minister, and also responsible for Prince Kuang's mistakes, Jian Wenhui's identity is more sensitive.
The name of the counselor in the army is Huang Dong, who is the son of Gaozu who shot Huang Zhao Huang to the left servant, and it can be said that he was born in a famous family. Although this Huang Dong is not a famous general and staff officer, his family background is there. In particular, he has also been good at the art of war since he was a child, and his family history is good at strategy. When he was young, Yongchuan, who was a regimental training envoy in his father Huang Yan, did a solid job of joining the army for five years.
Because of the response to the new emperor Liu Jixing's action of summoning talents from all over the country, he was promoted by the local government to return to the palace for training, and his father's more or less connections in the court that day actually sought the position of the palace. Because there is only one advisor to the army in the Lingnan Han Prince's Mansion, he has obtained an official rank from the fifth rank. From the place to the capital, Ping Bai has been promoted a few levels, which shows that his strength is also amazing.
However, the same principle as Wang Fu, as a staff officer in peacetime, the position of counselor and general affairs is also an extremely sensitive position. King Gui was able to use him because he was once a subordinate of his maternal father Pan Chongche's cronies. Although Pan Chongche never publicly supported his nephew, King Gui believed that his grandfather would not harm him.
As for the two literature, they were both after the southward migration to the Central Plains, and they were both Jinshi from the Gaozu Dynasty. As for the rest of the subordinate officials, they are all bright for a while. Anyway, these people who can enter the Guiwang Mansion are all well-known figures in the Xingwang Mansion or Lingnan.
And another special position in the palace, Changshi! It's actually from the five grades. And corresponding to Changshi is Sima in charge of the military affairs of the palace, this position is also relatively sensitive to the Lingnan Han Kingdom, which controls the military, so it is reasonable that he was only given the title of Zhengliupin.
At this time, in the palace listening to the political hall, King Gui was sitting on a chair, and on both sides sat Wang Fu Jianwenhui, Huang Dong, a counselor and a member of the army, Shi Fengqing, the governor of the palace, and Sima Tan Bo of the palace. Jian Wenhui and Feng Qing sat on the left hand, and Huang Dong and Tan Bo were naturally listed on the right.
Although he has faded away from childlike naivety, King Gui is still young, and there is a lot of distance from maturity, he is not as burly and strong as Emperor Liu Jixing, and his eyebrows are a little like his mother Pan Yulian. Although he sat there seriously, he didn't look like an adult. It is the innate arrogance between his eyebrows that makes people feel that he has been in a high position and prosperous for a long time.
Originally, based on the education of Tianfang's wife Pan Yulian, King Gui would not have this feeling of being unattended. But since the avant-garde Wang Liu Jixing had an accident, and some officials with ulterior motives instigated and planned by Wang Fu Zhao Zhangzhou, King Gui had some ideas of his own, King Gui's mind gradually changed. Although Liu Jixing successfully ascended the throne as emperor later, and even King Gui Liu Xuanxing was still worried about revenge, and he was a little afraid in his heart, but now that the situation is calm, King Gui seems to have an idea again.
Indeed, now, King Gui opened the palace as a prince alone, and these officials who followed Zhao Zhangzhou that day, although it was a fact that Liu Jixing became the emperor, but King Gui was at least the first prince in the court today, and he was another prince in the royal family who was about to become an adult. These officials are even mainly middle- and lower-level officials, so many people still gather around King Gui, which makes King Gui quite thoughtful.
"Ladies and gentlemen, it is reported that Liu Gang wants to open a new four mansions in the country, these four mansions are obviously all permanent positions, as for the specifications are still being discussed, I don't know if you have any suggestions for this king!" He didn't seem to have any respect for his imperial brother, and he called him by his name in front of his subordinates, not worried at all.
And although it seems to be asking for advice, the demeanor and feeling of Liu Xuanxing, the king of Gui, are obviously not too respectful to his subordinates. It is obvious in the words that he has no opinions, and he wants to let his subordinates give methods.
Everyone obviously understands that King Gui has always been unconvinced by his imperial brother. The sons of the first emperor Liu Sheng, King Jing Qingxing and King Mei Chongxing, were still young, and King Zhen Baoxing was one year younger than the emperor, a few months behind King Gui, and was the brother of the emperor's mother.
The abilities that these brothers are showing now are only the smartest among Emperor Liu Jixing and King Gui Liu Xuanxing. In particular, the most terrifying time in that period of the Great Han Kingdom was when Liu Jixing, the king of Tianwei, fell from his horse. How many people are ready to move, how many people are standing in the middle, and many ministers in the court openly and secretly support King Gui. Although Liu Jixing, the king of Wei, later recovered, and successfully became the crown prince, the precocious King Gui obviously did not give up.
King Gui's former prince, Zhao Zhangzhou, although he had passed away a few years ago, has only now been replaced by the Jianwen Society, and it is obvious that this Jianwen Society is far from the fame and courage of his predecessor. He was not yet able to lead the group of talents left by Zhao Zhangzhou that day. The influence of the Han court in Lingnan is not as good, and many people even believe that Jian Wenhui is the henchman of the current emperor Liu Gang (Liu Jixing), but King Gui does not seem to have pursued the details. He is usually as arrogant as ever in front of a few people, and he doesn't seem to be respectful to a few people.
I have to say that King Gui has this capital. First of all, his mother was one of the wives of the first emperor, and now the new emperor has become a concubine, and King Gui himself has to be crowned a prince. Of course, the most important thing is that his maternal ancestor is the current important boss of the Han military, Pan Chongche, the famous tyrant on the rivers and lakes.
Jian Wenhui's thin figure sat upright on the chair, looking at a few people without squeaking, although he was a little disdainful of King Gui's publicity, but he didn't make a sound to stop it. He respected Zhao Zhangzhou, and he was appreciated by Zhao Zhangzhou that day, and he intended to hand over his foundation in the imperial court to himself, but he knew better than anyone else the current situation in the Han Kingdom.
Although it was promoted by Zhao Zhangzhou, Jian Wenhui knew that he really came out because of the current emperor Liu Jixing. He will always remember that day, he was summoned into the palace by the emperor, and analyzed the current situation of the Great Han Kingdom to him, and the emperor asked him to talk about his ideals, and finally the emperor asked himself to teach and assist King Gui well, without the slightest intention of targeting King Gui.
is also about the same age, why is there such a big gap in thought, Jian Wenhui has infinite emotion in his heart, King Gui is a child in front of the emperor! Jian Wenhui also waited for a while, and saw that King Gui's face had changed a little, so he couldn't help but gently brushed the slight whiskers under his chin, and still groaned for a few seconds.
Jian Wenhui is not pretending, but feels that King Gui really can't be at the same height as the emperor. Quietly looked at King Gui, and after seeing him looking at his side, Fang said lightly: "The prince is always assertive, and he is very popular in the court, although he does not enter the court every day to listen to the government, he must know more about the movements of the court than the ministers." Over the years, the emperor has frequently moved around, and there are moves on the domestic border, which must have its deep meaning. The prince is the first prince of the Han Dynasty, and the current state affairs are beneficial to the prince, what is the opinion of the prince, you can say it with the ministers, and the ministers must share the worries for the prince! ”
He is neither humble nor arrogant, neither offending King Gui, nor damaging the face of his colleagues, and more importantly, he also has some warning implications for his publicity towards King Gui, and he doesn't care about King Gui's identity at all. Because although he gradually became famous in the hands of the first emperor Liu Sheng, after the death of the first emperor, he still studied the new emperor Liu Jixing carefully, not to mention that the grand plan of the new emperor Liu Jixing made him excited.
Knowing that an emperor like Liu Jixing, not to mention his reputation in the court, but with the support of Taoism and Taoism, it is not ordinary people who can shake his status. In addition, since Liu Jixing ruled the Han Kingdom, this series of reform and strengthening measures has greatly exceeded the expectations of officials up and down the Han court.
It's not that Jianwen will be completely dependent on Emperor Liu Jixing, but it's true that Liu Jixing's development has gone beyond the scope of ordinary people's thoughts. Jian Wenhui doesn't think that there are people in the court who can compete with the emperor now, not to mention these old politicians, not to mention King Gui, a prince who has just grown up.
Jian Wenhui had no doubt that King Gui was smart and capable, but now in front of Emperor Liu Jixing's rule, King Gui's personal ability pale and weak, and there was no comparison at all, and King Gui could not be copied at all.
It's not a blow to King Gui if you don't say it, but I just don't want King Gui to be too ignorant. As the prince of the prince's mansion, he has the responsibility to guide King Gui, so he had to remind King Gui, and he also smoothly pushed the topic to King Gui himself, and he can now achieve the position of Wang Fu, obviously not simply relying on other side doors, but will highlight his own importance on the issue.
The few people present together seemed to be expected, and there was no joy or anger on their faces, but when Jian Wenhui spoke, they all bowed their heads, obviously greatly agreeing with Jian Wenhui's response.
King Gui's eyes jumped a few times involuntarily, although he was young, he was very smart, and naturally he could hear the meaning of Jian Wenhui. Although I was a little annoyed by Jian Wenhui's thoughts, I had to admit that it was a fact. But his face didn't change color, he nodded as if nothing happened, and looked at everyone contemplatively.
"At present, the tentative plan is definitely to open the government in the east, west, south and north, the purpose is naturally to strengthen the current territorial stability of the Han Kingdom, and it should involve the expansion of the border. What this king is thinking about now is how much benefit this king can gain in this decision! On the contrary, King Gui did not look like a person of such a young age at all, and calmly said his thoughts.
"Lord Wang, how much benefit do you think the emperor will give you? Also, according to the usual practice, the prince should go to his own fiefdom to become a vassal! If the emperor takes this action and asks the prince to go to Guizhou to become a vassal domain, I don't know how the prince feels in his heart! Jian Wenhui said lightly, and he was also happy that King Gui had such an idea, but he also had to remind him of the facts.
King Gui's face changed suddenly, he had obviously thought of this a long time ago, Jian Wenhui's stab was like a knife stabbing blood. He fell silent for a moment, he was obviously worried about this in his heart, because he heard that the emperor was now preparing to use that side as a battlefield to attack Chudi, although this was a military strategy and would not be mentioned to the outside world, but in its current form.
It's not that he's afraid of death, but looking back, he doesn't have any foundation in the army, even if he has that under his grandfather Pan Chongche, but all of them were taken to the northwest, not to mention that Pan Chongche has never publicly supported him.
If he is really sent to join the domain, then he will face a large number of soldiers who he has never known. What's more, I heard that these soldiers are all protégés of the emperor's son of heaven, and they are all commanders trained by him, so he is not a bare-bones commander.
"Don't be nervous!" Sima Tan raised his voice and said: "Now this matter is still under discussion, Wei Chen believes that no matter what, the prince must first establish a business in the army and gradually establish his prestige, so that it is a long-term solution!" "What is surprising is that this Tan Bo is actually the subordinate of Liu Chonggui, the emperor of Xiangxiang Liu Yin who fought for power in Lingnan and killed him, and the descendant of Tan Hongxi, a famous general in Lingnan.
The hall suddenly became cold because of Sima Tanbo's words. Because this seems to be the truth, King Gui put on the façade, and there is really no relationship network in this regard. Tan Bo is well aware of this, and his family's survival in Lingnan is a good example. Therefore, there was no mercy in Tan Bo's words, as the lowest rank in the audience, Tan Bo did not want to be forgotten.
"What Sima said is extremely true!" Changshi Feng Qing arched his hand towards King Gui and said: "What the prince needs now is experience, so that more people in the court will pay attention to the prince!" Weichen thought that if he really ended up this time, maybe it would be a good thing for the prince! ”
King Gui thought about it with a surprised face, and it seemed that there was indeed some truth. Seeing the different expressions of everyone, he felt a little depressed in his heart, but he still said in a deep voice: "How should the king decide!" ”
"The prince doesn't have to do anything, but go into the palace to meet Concubine Fang!" Jian Wenhui arched his hand and said lightly!
King Gui finally showed a smile on his face, indeed, as a concubine in the palace who was still free, Concubine Fang's influence was inevitable.
For every class society, everyone is actually an independent individual, he has only a clear class, and of course they all live only at one class level, or only live in this class position. There are all kinds of people in any era, and naturally there are people of all levels of thought, and there is no one who does not bear these marks of every class and every particular class.
Of course, because in every society, everyone wants to work their own. Think of any way and way to squeeze your head to the next level, or try to retain as much as possible your superiority in the current class.
Therefore, in every society, because of the different circumstances and origins of each person, the hierarchical distinction of each person in this society will be more obvious and cruel, and it will also make people in each era live in their own class, and people or groups who feel comfortable will be more crazy and enterprising.
In this era, characters like Guo Rong of the Zhou Kingdom, Li Jing of the Tang Kingdom, Meng Chang of Shuzhong, and Liu Jixing of the Southern Han Dynasty are undoubtedly the highest class of people in the social class of this era. They seem to have been deeply branded with the era and class, and of course they want to keep this brand of their own.
King Gui naturally wanted to squeeze to another level, Jian Wenhui and Feng Qing also thought that even Tan Bo's family had been working hard, not to mention the Later Jin literati like Jian Wenhui.
King Gui knew this better than anyone else, and if he couldn't stand on his own, he might be eliminated, and he was more likely to be annihilated by the rapidly developing Great Han Kingdom. What you need, you need to get in touch with the grassroots, and you need to understand the operation of various departments. If you don't practice it, even if the real power of the Great Han Kingdom is in your own hands, what is the use!
It seems to wake up the dreamer with a word!
