Dahan first prince

Chapter 294 The minister is willing to lead [-] troops to capture Maodun alive!
After the old lady finished her work, Liu Ying left the name of "Gong" for her eldest son, and then left Changle Palace in a low-key manner.

It's just that in this life, when Lu Zhi asked about the meaning of the name, Liu Ying said more: I hope that when this son grows up, he will be as respectful as a minister to his mother...

For Liu Ying's answer, Lu Zhi smiled happily, immediately picked up his only grandson, and happily teased Liu Gong, the eldest son of the emperor who was only three months old.

Of course, in addition to meeting her son and naming him "Gong", Liu Ying's visit to Changle has also been fruitful.

——As expected by Liu Ying: After Liu Ying's "good faith" awakening (zhuang), the Lu family finally took over the position of Lang Zhongling in tears.

It's just that Lu Ze and Lu Lu, the two guards who worked in Simamen and Zuoshimen respectively, were given a good meal by Lu Zhi, and they almost didn't get a board in Changle Palace!

In the end, it was Lu Shizhi who stood up, wiped off the saliva sprayed all over his face by his younger sister Lu Zhi, and promised that he would be strictly disciplined, and managed to fish out Lu Ze and Lu Lu brothers.

As for Chen Ping's visit this time, Liu Ying made tears flow down his face.

——Being disturbed by Liu Ying, Chen Ping not only failed to pass the post of Lang Zhongling, but was able to hide in the deep palace to avoid the malice of Wuyang Hou's wife, Lu Wei, but also because of the "request to become a Lang Zhongling", he had a good relationship with him for no reason. Mrs. Lu committed evil!

Now, the Lu family hates Chen Ping, and even hates Chen Ping. From the previous Lu Wei alone, to now, everyone except the Queen Mother Lu Zhi!

At the moment when Liu Ying inherited Han Zuo, he offended the mother family of the current emperor and the mother's family of the current empress dowager. Chen Ping had no political prospects at all in Liu Ying's reign.

The Empress Dowager Regent spoke well, Prime Minister Xiao He, and Yushi Dafu Cao Shen nodded and agreed, and the edict of the appointment of Hou Lv Shizhi as Lang Zhongling was drafted on the spot.

Waiting for Xiao He to personally communicate with the current Lang Zhong Ling Wuhu to take care of the old hero's emotions, and then the Empress Dowager Lu Zhi will give Wu Hu a low-level official position at the right time, and this matter can draw a perfect picture. full stop.

Regarding the idea of ​​disturbing Chen Ping with her own hands, which incidentally aroused the conflict between the Lu family and Chen Ping, Liu Ying couldn't help but feel a little proud.

It's just that Liu Ying still couldn't be complacent for too long, and was poured a big basin of cold water by Chao Yi a few days later...
·
"Since you have no objection, let's leave it at that."

"——Lv Shizhi, the Marquis of Jiancheng, has been with the emperor for a long time when he buried his residence; and in the last years of Huainan Wang Yingbu's rebellion, Lu Shizhi, the Marquis of Jiancheng, and his son Lu Lu, nephews Lu Tai, Lu Chan, etc. , are all quite meritorious.”

"Besides, Liang Zouhou and Wuhu are very old, and he asked himself to be old..."

In the summer and June of the 12th year of the Han Dynasty, Guiyou (the tenth day of the first day), Changle Palace and Changxin Palace.

After saying something with a normal expression, Lu Zhi turned his head and nodded slowly towards Wu Hu who walked out of the train in response.

"National supporters have never been stingy with rewards and gifts."

"Marquis Zou of Gengliang is a marquis of meritorious service conferred by Emperor Taizu Gao."

"If Marquis Zou of Liang returns to his hometown in vain, it may damage the legacy of Emperor Taizu Gao, so I don't want it."

Speaking in a calm tone, Lu Zhi finally raised his head and waited quietly for everything that had been arranged earlier.

Seeing the head of the imperial court, the aged Xiao He reacted for a while, then raised his head suddenly, but he didn't get up and go forward, but turned to the left side, knelt and bowed his hands to the officials and ministers in the hall.

"Old man...uh, a little sick..."

"It's from...you Pingyang Hou..."

Before he could finish a sentence, he saw Xiao He give up struggling readily, turned around on his own, and waved his hand at Cao Shen who was behind him.

Then, it was Cao Can who arranged his clothes very seriously, stepped forward again, and respectfully accepted the edict handed over by Xiao He, before finally stepping forward, with his back to Lu Zhi, Liu Ying's mother and son on the imperial steps, and facing the hall. Baiguan spread out the imperial edict.

"The edict said: Liang Zou Houhu, the public is loyal to the country, and he has made great contributions to the country;"

"Now the Marquis is begging for bones, and wants to retire from old age and return to his hometown. Even if I don't want to, I dare not make Hou work too hard."

"Move: Lang Zhong Ling Liang Zou Houhu is appointed as Doctor Guanglu, ranks two thousand stones, Xu Hou will return to his hometown; choose another descendant who is capable and capable, and his kindness will be Lang~"

"A hundred pieces of gold, ten bolts of cloth, two bolts of brocade and silk, and one imperial sword~~~"

After reciting the content of the imperial edict in a long tone, Cao Shen solemnly raised the imperial edict with both hands.

Almost at the same time, Wu Hu, the person involved, stepped forward with a humble face, kneeled down solemnly, and kowtowed heavily to Lu Zhi, Liu Ying's mother and son on the imperial steps.

"Old minister, thank the Queen Mother and Your Majesty for your kindness!"

"Today, I would like to issue an order. After returning to my hometown, I must clean up the family traditions, strictly teach the descendants, help the people of the country, and repay the kindness of the Queen Mother and Your Majesty..."

After saying that, Lao Wuhu kowtowed again, and then Cao Shen stepped forward and presented the edict with both hands.

Wu Hu also hurriedly reached out to take the imperial edict to show that he was 'extremely honored'.

After Wu Hu thanked him again and again, he went backwards and returned to the court. Taking advantage of the time when Cao Shen spread out another edict, Lu also smiled at the right time and said: "Mr. Liang Zou must not do this."

"If it weren't for the fear of the future, I would have intended to give palace lanterns, jade clothes and other ghost objects to reward the marquis for his contributions to the community..."

Seeing Wu Hu heard the words, there was a little relaxed smile on Ben's solemn and solemn face, and Lu Zhi nodded with a warm smile.

"Now the king of Qi is still in Chang'an. Although Liang Zouhou wants to take over the country, he is not in a hurry to leave."

"Wait a little longer in Chang'an, then Hou can go with King Qi."

"After returning to the feudal state, Liang Zouhou should also persuade King Qi from time to time, so as to correct the virtues of King Qi."

Hearing Lu Zhi's warm condolences, all the people in the hall cast their envious eyes on Wu Hu's obviously full of vitality, but at this moment, he deliberately showed a little stooped back.

After all, they were all courtiers, the top group in the power pyramid of the Han Dynasty, and everyone knew clearly about Wu Hu's "reporting himself to be old".

——What kind of begging for bones, what kind of 'old age', it's all about the scene!
But then again, Wu Hu was euphemistically dismissed from the position of Lang Zhongling, although it was not really because of old age, it was an imperative thing.

It's still the same sentence: once the emperor and the courtiers.

Now, the Emperor Liu Ying is still young, and the Empress Dowager Lu Zhi is in charge of the court. Naturally, other positions in the court have not yet shown the atmosphere of a "new king's arrival".

However, the position of Lang Zhongling will always be the first one to be replaced after the new king succeeds to the throne.

As for the reason, it is not difficult to understand.

According to the description in the later "Hanshu Baiguangongqingbiao", the responsibilities of Lang Zhongling are: in charge of the palace and the gate, and the doctor, Lang, and Yezhe belong to it; and Qimen and Yulin belong to Yan.

It seems to be a short sentence, but it fully specifies the core responsibilities of the position of Lang Zhongling and the huge power under his control!
Except for the first word "zhang" in the six characters of "zhang palace and tuck gate", the other five characters refer to the four different functions and powers of the forbidden middle and deep palace: palace, hall, tuck, and gate.

The palace refers to every palace belonging to the emperor in the world, including the emperor's palace scattered all over the world;

The hall is the main hall where any emperor lives. From the moment the emperor arrives, its security work also falls within the scope of the doctor's order;

Ye, that is, Yemen, specifically refers to the gates of various palaces in the palace, such as the Weiyang Palace Sima Gate, Zuoshi Gate and other palace gates, and the other side gates;
The portal, as the name suggests, is every hall in the palace, including the hall where the harem concubines, princes and princesses live, and the gate of the hall is guarded and defended;
These four items alone basically clarified the division of responsibilities between Lang Zhongling and Wei Wei.

——In the entire palace, except for the entrance and exit of the palace, which is guarded by your guard, I have to do everything else!

If this is the case alone, it is not important enough to the point where "the doctor's order must be changed at the same time as the emperor's change".

Therefore, the core part of Lang Zhongling's authority is still in the last two parts of that sentence, namely: Doctor, Lang, and Yezhe belong to it; Youqimen and Habayashi belong to Yan.

Same as the six characters of "holding the palace and tucking the door", it is still a short number, and it includes most of the emperor's close officials in the palace.

——Doctors are divided into Qianshi level officials such as Taizhong doctor and Zhongdafu. Except for the "honorary Taizhong doctor" like Chai Wu, the rest are all responsible for "discussing", "playing against" and "preparing for consultant response".

To put it simply, the duties of the doctor group in the Han Dynasty were basically the secretarial group, plus the nature of reserve and training cadres;

Jia Yi Jia Changsha in history was able to speak from time to time by the side of Emperor Wen Liu Heng through his position as a "doctor and doctor of the Taizhong".

As for the word 'Lang', the word inside is even bigger.

Generally speaking, there are four kinds of "Lang" in the Han Dynasty, namely Zhonglang, Yilang, Shilang, and Langzhong.

Among them, Zhonglang is basically a reserve officer, with a rank of six hundred stones. When he goes out, he will act as a chariot general, and when he enters, he will guard the palace gate;
And Zhonglang's immediate boss: General Zhonglang, can be regarded as the only communication channel between Lang Zhongling, Lieutenant, and Nei Shi.

——Zhong Lang belongs to Lang Zhong Ling, Zhong Lang General belongs to Lieutenant, and Lieutenant, in theory, belongs to the jurisdiction of internal history...

It seems that a Zhonglang group seems to have partially overlapped the positions of Lang Zhongling and Nei Shi, the two Jiuqing, and even gave rise to some suspicions that the division of powers is unclear.

But in fact, this is precisely the double insurance for the 'Zhonglang' group.

That is to say, the mobilization of "Zhong Lang", the elite guard force of the forbidden center, must be approved by both Zhong Lang Jiang (that is, the lieutenant behind it, and even the internal history behind it) and Lang Zhong Ling before it can be successful.

This kind of double insurance can also guarantee to the greatest extent: when an accident occurs, as long as one of the four of Nei Shi, Lieutenant, General Zhong Lang, and Lang Zhong Ling does not rebel, it will not cause any hidden danger to the safety of the emperor.

Among these four people, the most trustworthy and the most familiar to the emperor is undoubtedly Lang Zhongling who gets along day and night.

After Zhonglang, there is Yilang at the same level.

Yilang, as the name suggests, is the emperor's exclusive think tank, with the same six hundred stones as Zhonglang, and his main job is to discuss feasible solutions for the emperor's distress;
If Zhonglang is a reserve military officer, then Yilang is a reserve civil officer.

The assistant minister is slightly worse, with a rank of four hundred stones, that is, he does not participate in the guarding of the forbidden center, nor does he participate in the deliberations of the court, but is responsible for the daily life of the emperor and the princes and grandchildren in the palace.

It is precisely because of this that most of those who enter the palace to be lords, as long as they have ambitions, are reluctant to be a servant who is written as "Lang" and pronounced as "Slave".

Therefore, the servants are basically divided up by the "rich men" who spend money to buy officials, and the second-generation dudes who are useless in the palace under the shadow of their fathers;

As for the last doctor, it is the lowest among the four, with a rank of three hundred stones, and it is almost entirely served by the "Cai Lang" group, divided into three types: Qi Lang, Chariot Bing, and Hu Lang.

Among them, the cavalry refers to the cavalry who act as the face when the emperor travels, or when the envoys of the inner and outer vassals meet;
Che Lang was the guard chariot soldier who accompanied the envoys of the inner and outer feudal vassals in Chang'an;
Hulang can only guard the gate of the post house for these princes and foreign envoys.

Calculated in this way, the single word "Lang" makes Lang Zhongling cover most of the important positions in the ban, except for inner temples and female officials.

In addition to the doctor and Lang, the last guest is also a very important post, responsible for welcoming and sending everything in the palace.

However, Lang Zhongling's huge authority is still more than "in charge of the palace and the door, and the doctor, Lang, and Ye Zhe are all his subordinates"······

——Forbidden defense, as well as the emperor's clothing, food, housing, travel, and even military power in the hands of Lang Zhongling!

——And it's an entire independent imperial army! ! !
In the reign of Emperor Wu in history, the soldiers and horses in the hands of Lang Zhongling (Emperor Wu changed his name to Guang Luxun) were the famous elites of Habayashi and Qimen;
But in today's Han Dynasty, the forbidden army that was firmly guarded by Lang Zhongling was brought out from Fengpei by the former emperor Liu Bang, who cut down the Yuan Cong team of Liu Han Sheji with one knife and one gun: the Southern Army!

Combining this series of items listed separately, it is enough to make the entire court solemn about its authority. It is no exaggeration to say: If there is anyone who is most likely to kill the king and usurp the throne and succeed, then in today's The Han Dynasty must be Lang Zhongling!
Holding the Southern Army of the Forbidden Army in his hand, controlling the big and small gates of the Forbidden City, and most of the subordinate officials get along with the Emperor himself day and night, as long as he wants to be unfavorable to the Emperor, he will almost certainly succeed!
And this is why Liu Ying is unwilling to let Chen Ping be the doctor's order no matter what.

——Liu Ying vaguely remembered: Chen Ping in history seemed to have really rebelled!
Even leaving aside this "black history" that Liu Ying could not be sure of, Chen Ping's motivation for wanting to be Lang Zhongling was still unacceptable to Liu Ying.

Fortunately, in the end, a satisfactory result was obtained for Liu Ying.

"Hmm~"

"Uncle, it's more credible than outsiders."

"Even if one day, even uncle can't be trusted..."

"Hey Hey······"

"I really hope that day will come sooner..."

When Liu Ying was dreaming, the second edict had also been recited by Cao Shen.

"Marquis Zou of Liang is old, and there is a vacancy for the doctor's order, and the emperor is young. The doctor's order is related to the importance of the country, and it cannot be done by non-confidant ministers!"

"Therefore, with this edict, the Marquis Lv Shizhi was established with the order, and he will be appointed as the doctor's order~"

After the sound fell, the east seat of the class, that is, among the marquis Yuanxun, immediately stood up the figure of Lu Shizhi who was full of simplicity, trotting forward with a slightly nervous expression.

"Chen! Thank you Empress Dowager for your trust!"

"Assuming this important task, I will do my best, and I will never shame the clan!!!"

At this point, the matter of taking Lu Shizhi as Lang Zhongling to replace the previous Lang Zhongling Wu Hu has been completed.

As Lu Zhi nodded his head slowly, and warned Lu Shizhi with his eyes indiscriminately, the position of Lang Zhongling really fell on Lu Shizhi's head.

Regarding the inexplicable uneasiness on Lu Shizhi's face, all the officials in the palace were not aware of it, so they thought Lu Shizhi was acting on purpose.

Only Xiao He, Cao Can, Chen Ping, and Liu Ying, who were called into the palace yesterday, knew that Lu Shizhi's worried expression was not a faux pas at all...
"It's a good thing, right?"

"Use this matter to let Mrs. Lu restrain herself for a few years."

"When Mrs. Lu slacks off again, it's time for me to perform the coronation ceremony..."

Slandering maliciously, Liu Ying lowered her head pretending to be serious, put the pen in her hand on the blank bamboo slips in front of her, and assumed a posture of recording carefully, but her eyes were actually a little distracted.

——Today's court meeting is about the appointment and dismissal of Lang Zhongling.

As for the rest, there is basically no need for Liu Ying to worry about it, and it is not Liu Ying's turn to worry about it.

At most, when Enfeng was a meritorious soldier who made great achievements during the Yingbo Rebellion last year, Liu Ying needed to stand up and show her face, and put on a posture of 'well, your noble is bestowed by me'.

Thinking of this, Liu Ying's thoughts quietly flew to her previous life, that memory that had long been dusted.

"Meritorious soldiers..."

"Um······"

"In Zhao Yao's life, I'm afraid he won't be able to become the Marquis of Cheche..."

"Dongyang Marquis Zhang Xiangru..."

"Shenyang Hou Le said..."

"Kaifeng Houtaoshe..."

"There are also clan relatives, Yingling Marquis Liu Ze..."

According to the memory of the previous life, Liu Ying silently read out the list of meritorious officials covering dozens of people, but Liu Ying found that the voice of her mother Lu Zhi did not seem to come from her ears?

He raised his head with some doubts, but saw that Lu Zhijin's face was ashen, and he slapped a piece of Mudu, which was more than one foot long and one foot wide, on the imperial case in front of him...
"That is!"

Almost at the same moment when she saw Fang Mudu, Liu Ying swept away her previous indifference and straightened up quickly!

And under the imperial steps, Fan Kuai's rough and expressive voice finally resounded throughout the Changxin Hall.

"Qizou Empress Dowager!"

"I am a sinful person, forgiven by the Queen Mother, I am sincerely shameless to live!!!"

"I implore the Empress Dowager to grant her permission. Xu Chen will lead an army of one hundred thousand to step north and capture Di Chief Maodun alive. Thank you Empress Dowager in person!!!!!!"

After saying that, Fan Kui knelt aggressively, his eyes widened!

"I implore the Empress Dowager for her permission, Xu Chen will take the blame and make meritorious service!!!!!!"

Seeing Fan Kui's inexplicable anger, a dusty memory finally slowly emerged in Liu Ying's mind...

"Ah~"

"really······"

"Even if I do it all over again, I still can't escape this..."

　1. The zhen here does not mean that this edict is the emperor's edict promulgated by Liu Ying, but the empress dowager's edict promulgated by Lu Zhi.

　　An old cliché often says: The Empress Dowager of the Han Dynasty calls herself Zhen, and when she dies, she calls herself Beng, and she is the same as the emperor.

　　In the article, out of the consideration of taking care of Liu Ying's emotions, Lu Zhi calls himself "I" instead of "Zhen" most of the time, but in the promulgated edict, no matter how much Lu Hou wants to take care of Liu Ying's emotions, he has to follow the rules Mo called himself '望'.
