Gaiden The Son of Heaven should be cautious when using the sword
80,000 conscripts were conscripted, and with the full mobilization of the two states and the cooperation of officials from all over the country, the soldiers were in place in two months, and the people of the two states also showed great enthusiasm in them. The results of Liu Yi's years of hard work in Erzhou were brought out in this matter, especially the reserve system in the two states, which was greatly praised by the three lieutenants, and in their eyes, those reserve soldiers were already qualified soldiers in addition to not seeing blood.
In August, Liu Yi led the army to welcome back the Son of Heaven, followed by a period of busyness, autumn harvest, conscription, and placement of subordinates, all the tension was in order, and the old ministers also saw Liu Yi mentioned in the mouth of the emperor that day. Every day is either the state capital or farmland, not the farmland is the training ground of the various armies, and it is no wonder that the officials everywhere are working from the top to the bottom, and it is not surprising that the state administration is so efficient.
At the end of October, the first heavy snow fell in Beiping, and the whole city was covered in snow, which looked extremely beautiful, and there were many children on both sides of the street who were having snowball fights and building snowmen, and there was a jubilant atmosphere. But you won't see much snow on the main thoroughfares, and horse-drawn carriages and pedestrians won't get in any way. This scene was very new to the old ministers, and they saw the army and the people who spontaneously went to the streets to clear the snow when they went up to court this morning, and they seemed to be very harmonious at that moment.
The construction of the palace did not stop because of the heavy snowfall, according to Yang Shan, the emperor can move into the palace in the next year, and the hall of the palace will be used as a meeting place for two months. But this temporary location is enough to satisfy all the ministers, the north wind is howling outside, the sky is freezing, but here is as warm as spring, with the continuous mining of Taiyuan coal mines, Jinyang's heating is not a problem. In particular, this hall is still built by skilled craftsmen, which is not only warm but also does not feel a little stuffy.
Nowadays, the casting technology of the utensils has been improved, and it is now possible to produce high-quality iron and copper pipes, which are cleverly hidden behind the walls by craftsmen. The deepest feeling for this is the son of heaven Liu Xie, the bathroom next to his bedroom, are used to drain the hot water with exquisite copper pipes, and there is underground water heating in the room, although it is not the palace, but the comfort is not under the inner palace of his Weiyang Palace.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty will be fifteen years old next year, this year name should be changed, and there must be a formal ceremony. After the ceremony, Dong Cheng, the general of the chariot and cavalry, first said that fifteen years old in the Han Dynasty is a man's adulthood, and for the Son of Heaven, it is the age when he gradually grasps the government, and when he arrives in Beiping, he can no longer use the original era name when he was in the Western Capital.
"What Dong Cheqi said is extremely true, my Han rules the country with courtesy, and it must not be chaotic." Doctor Zhongchang then said that since Liu Yi welcomed the Son of Heaven to Jinyang and issued an edict in his name, it seems that Liu Yan, Liu Yu, Liu Xuan, Liu Biao and other Han clan relatives have officially paid respect to the Son of Heaven, in addition to Jizhou Han Fu, Yanzhou Liu Dai, Xuzhou Tao Qian, Liangzhou Ma Teng, etc. are also echoed, at least on the surface, there are signs of revival in the Han Dynasty, and the Son of Heaven is no longer like Dong Zhuo when he was not recognized by the local officials.
"What the two of you say is true, this matter is not trivial and cannot be taken lightly, Your Majesty, you should first determine the year name, and then determine the queen's choice." At this time, the person who spoke was dressed in court clothes, and the white beard under his chin was very elegant and calm, but it was Liu Yu, who was newly named the third prince of the imperial history, and the hall was even more energetic.
Liu Xie didn't speak immediately when he heard this, but his eyes were looking at Liu Yi, the general of Zhengbei in the military attache column, the more he came into contact with him in the month of Beiping, the more he admired the profundity of the general Zhengbei, he knew too much, not only those Wen Tao martial arts, but also I don't know how many miscellaneous studies, his life was extremely leisurely, every day was very fulfilling, and it was not the same as in the Weiyang Palace.
Liu Yi smiled but didn't say anything, now is not the time for him to speak, the year name or something is a matter of Qin Tianjian, and he naturally likes Wang Meiren in his heart when he chooses the queen, and he has made a lot of arrangements for it, but he will not say too much about it in the court. When he first arrived, Langsheng still had to be afraid of his influence in the DPRK and China, and he could not leave people with the impression of being a hegemonic dictatorship.
At least on the surface, Liu Yi has always wanted to maintain the appearance of loyalty and humility, and he doesn't want to make any bloody edicts like Cao Cao did back then, and everyone calls him a courtier. In that way, he will have a lot of constraints in the court, and the elimination of dissidents may not necessarily be on the bright side, before his strength is strong enough, the role of the Son of Heaven must be squeezed out to the greatest extent, so it is not a problem to cultivate Taoguang and cultivate some obscurity.
"Wang Tianjian, General Caicai and Liu Gonggu have their own words, how should this era name be changed?" In the eyes of the Son of Heaven, General Zhengbei's gaze was to encourage him to speak freely, and with the support of the other party, he had more confidence in his heart, and immediately said to Wang Qing, the head of Qin Tianjian, that this matter was his duty.
"Your Majesty, ladies and gentlemen, when I went to the Western Capital, I changed the Yuan Chuping, and now I have moved the capital to Jinyang, and all parties are on the table to support the Son of Heaven, which shows that the luck of the Han Dynasty will rise again, and it will soon be prosperous, so it is better to use Xingping." This change of era name is generally when there is a major event, such as moving the capital, or a big change, some emperors only use one era name in their lives, and Kangxi and Qianlong in the Qing Dynasty can be regarded as one of the representatives.
"Xingping? Your Majesty, in the opinion of Wei Chen, this number can also be. Liu Yu was the first to speak in favor.
The new Imperial Doctor recognized that the rest of the ministers would naturally not have any more opinions on this matter, and the Son of Heaven made a decision to change the Yuan Xingping next year. After a while, with the dust settled on the matter of the year name, Liu Xie boldly threw out the queen's candidate, and sure enough, it was Wang Meiren who accompanied him in the Western Capital. The Son of Heaven did not hesitate to praise him, and his attitude was very resolute, which was not only his true intention but also the guidance of people with a heart, and of course it was inseparable from Leng Zhi's heavenly ear.
"Your Majesty, Wang Meiren has a gentle temperament, no lack of talent, and serving His Majesty in the Western Capital is also thoughtful, but when it comes to background, it is a little low after all, in the opinion of the old minister, the daughter of Fu Zhonglang is gentle and virtuous, and her bearing is graceful, and she is also a candidate for the queen, and Wang Meiren is not disadvantaged as a lady." As soon as the Son of Heaven said it, many courtiers nodded slightly, of course, including the champion Hou Xiao Zhengbei, but after a while, Dong Cheng said that as early as when he was in the Western Capital, he was trying his best to promote the daughter of Fu Wan, and he would not change it easily.
The concubine system and the official system in China generally have a long history, in addition to the queen, the title is also ever-changing, there is no concubine in the late Han Dynasty, there are three ladies and six Zhaoyi under the queen, and then there are Shuyuan and Liangyi, after arriving in Jinyang, Liu Yi has selected beauties from all over the place for the Son of Heaven in the people, to enrich the use of the harem, a single Wang beauty is not enough, and it is necessary to make many preparations.
"General Dong, the queen's position is the first to be virtuous and talented, Wang Meiren was by my side when she was in the Western Capital, and she was not afraid of a brutal person like Dong Zhuo, regardless of virtue and character, she was the best choice? And even in the harem, I often advised me to read more poetry and books and not waste them, which was enough to be the queen's choice. Liu Xie paused for a while, but after all, he still mustered up the courage to insist on his own point of view, according to the words of General Zhengbei, he is the Son of Heaven and a man, and a man should have his own persistence, and he has deep feelings for Wang Meiren Liu Xie.
"General Dong, I have also heard about Wang Meiren, it is indeed both ability and political integrity, and it is more able to be harmonious with the Son of Heaven, and the harem should be stable in the future, since Your Majesty insists, we still have to start from it, and it is not bad for Lord Fu's daughter to be a wife." When Xiao Yuan heard this, he and Liu Yi did not have any ventilation in this matter, it was completely out of his own judgment, and the faint command in Dong Cheng's tone made Liu Yu very uncomfortable, how could the Ninth Five-Year Respect of the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty be swayed by people as before?
"Liu Gong's words are yes, since Your Majesty is interested in talents, it is not bad, and you should put the will of the Son of Heaven first. The daughter of General Dong is also gentle and virtuous, and she can also be the choice of his wife. Lu Zhi also said here, his words were obviously inclined to Xiao Gong, and what Dong Cheng said was indeed a little inappropriate.
"What Yu Shi Zhonglang said is extremely true, this matter should be put by the Son of Heaven first." Liu Yu and Lu Zhi's two important ministers spoke repeatedly, but Dong Cheng still wanted to insist, and Yang Biao, the captain over there, saw that this was wrong and hurriedly said, the general of the Che Cavalry is loyal, but he is indeed very controlling, and this is no longer the Western Capital.
Liu Lu and Yang Biao, the three of them have the same view on one thing, Dong Cheng knows that this matter is already a certainty, and he can also feel his dissatisfaction with himself from Liu Gong's tone, Yang Biao's words are a kind of relaxation, it is really out of place for him to insist more.
Liu Yi watched coldly, but he also relished, from when he joined the army as a pawn to the current general of Zhengbei with more than 100,000 armor, there is no matter in the army that he is not familiar with. Over the years, he has led a group of officials to do their best for the development of the two states, and this officialdom is also full of experience. However, there is still a difference between these two places and the court, and it is a learning process at the same time as being low-key.
Historically, the coercion of the Son of Heaven to order the princes brought great benefits to Cao Cao, making him the most powerful prince in the late Han Dynasty, Liu Yi of course had to learn from the benefits, but he also had to abandon some of the mistakes. For example, it is not advisable for Cao Mengde to suppress the Son of Heaven without scruples after being complacent, and it is the most ideal way to be able to say his will through the mouth of the Son of Heaven in Lang Sheng's heart, it is not easy to do this, and it also requires a lot of skills, but Liu Yi has already determined the main direction.
Above the court, there was originally an extremely complicated place of right and wrong, and the old ministers of the Qing School had always had strong opponents, first the ministers, and then Dong Zhuo, which almost covered up the vicious contradictions between them. And now without the strong suppression of the enemy, these internal contradictions will gradually emerge because of the differences in people's concepts, and today's things around the temple are a beginning.
