Dahan first prince

Chapter 437 I want to divide the fiefdom, who agrees and who opposes?

An unprecedented 'celebration', coupled with the establishment of the Han Heroes Cemetery, the joyful atmosphere brought by the Mayi World War I could not help being covered with a heavy tulle;

But this heaviness did not dispel the joy of Mayi's victory, on the contrary, it made this victory even more precious.

In fact, before this ingenious 'celebration' and the establishment of the Great Han Heroes Cemetery, the Han Dynasty's compensation for lieutenants and soldiers, especially those who died in battle, was never small.

According to the rules set by Taizu Gao Emperor Liu Bang himself, when a soldier died for the country, that is, when a soldier died for the country, according to the regulations, a direct line officer two levels higher than the fallen soldier was required to be responsible for his funeral.

For example, when an ordinary soldier is killed in battle, the person in charge is Shichang, which is the 'ten leader' in the popular sense;
Wuchang, that is, Wubai, that is, the "five-man leader" in the popular sense died in the battle, and the person in charge was the village chief, that is, the "50-man leader".

If Shi Chang died in battle, it is even more necessary for Qu Hou, who is also a 'Centurion' in the popular sense, to be personally responsible for the funeral of this person.

Further up, that is, at the level of the head of the village and above, at least the level of the school lieutenant needs to come forward in person.

The "responsibility for funeral affairs" here includes, but is not limited to: buying coffins and coffins for the dead at their own expense, collecting the remains of the dead, and sending the remains back to their homes in person.

After the remains are sent back, they will also help the martyrs' families organize the funeral and bear all the necessary expenses within their ability.

In addition, the pension of the court is calculated separately.

For the army in the feudal era, this kind of pension treatment is actually quite good.

——At least it is much better than the later generations, those who have been killed in battle for many years, but still 'survive' in the army list, and are much stronger than being drunk by officers.

But compared with this impressive pension treatment for the fallen soldiers, the series of pension standards introduced by Liu Ying after the First World War in Mayi shocked the entire government and the opposition... ··

Let's not mention what's "the dead have three heads of military merit by default" and "the main card is dedicated to the cemetery of heroes";

Just the plaque of "Heroes and Heroes" alone is enough to make countless people dumbfounded, and they don't know how to refute it.

Coupled with other things, a discordant voice immediately appeared inside and outside the court and the public.

It's just that, compared to this unharmonious voice that appeared above the government and the public, Liu Ying still cares more about the common people's views on her actions.

After all, Liu Ying, the emperor, is not the emperor of the public officials;

Liu Han Sheji is not "the emperor and the scholar-bureaucrats rule the world together"······

"The Art of War says: Rewards are not overdue, punishments are not an afterthought;"

"Rewards for meritorious officers and soldiers should be done quickly!"

Weiyang Palace, Xuanshi Palace.

After giving such an order with a serious face, Liu Ying nodded in satisfaction after the Prime Minister Wang Ling, the imperial historian Chen Ping, the internal historian Zhang Cang, and Shaofu Yangcheng Yanqi all bowed to accept the order.

Then, the topic naturally entered the core topic of today's small meeting.

——A reward.

Speaking of this, the serious look on Liu Ying's face was gradually replaced by a touch of relaxation and joy.

After all, no matter how you say it, this is also the first time since Liu Ying inherited the throne, he has been conferred on a large scale.

Although there are still many founding fathers in the court today, who are shining for the young emperor who is just in his early twenties, but no matter what, these founding fathers are not "Liu Ying's ministers" after all.

That said, it might be a bit puzzling;

——The founding father was a courtier of the Han Dynasty, and Liu Ying was the emperor of the Han Dynasty;
How could the courtiers of the Han Dynasty not be "the courtiers of the Son of Heaven"?

In fact, situations like this are still common in this day and age.

The reason is simple: it is still the early days of the establishment of the Han Dynasty;
Not too many years have passed since Qin, and the Warring States period earlier than Qin.

Today's Han Dynasty still retains a very strong legacy of the Warring States Period in many aspects.

And this situation about "the founding father is not Liu Ying's courtier" is a very representative reasoning in the legacy of the Warring States Period.

Because in the Spring and Autumn Period, many famous ministers and wise men who have gone down in history were born in this country, but due to one reason or another, they finally devoted their allegiance to other countries.

At some point, there were even extreme cases where 'a famous official from country A, after helping country B become stronger, turned his head to attack country A'.

For such a situation, at the very beginning, he must have been scolded by everyone in the world.

As for the content of Thomas, it is nothing more than traitors, traitors and the like.

However, as such situations became more and more frequent, and the protagonist became more and more famous, at the turn of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, people's views on similar matters changed accordingly. .

The former 'traitors' and 'traitors', also in a loose public opinion environment, rely on the phrase 'each is his own master', barely gaining the moral high ground, and no longer need to be reviled by people all over the world because they did not serve their mother country .

But for such a group, that is, talented people who were born in other countries and came to serve in this country from other countries, the countries at that time did not always fully trust them;

This group is also called more: Keqing, rather than courtiers.

As a result, new problems arise.

——The former king recruited a guest official who had been in power for many years. What should he do when the former king dies and the new king inherits the throne?
Continue to appoint?

I'm afraid it will be difficult for the new king to trust this 'Keqing';
But direct expulsion, or even killing, will be shamed by the people of the world.

As guests, these capable people who have left other countries to advise other countries actually have the same concerns.

——I did my best for your father, but you let me die?
It was under such a tacit understanding, common goals, and the need for a single system that an unwritten hidden rule gradually spread among the countries at that time.

——Keqing, you are not the minister of a country, but the minister of one person.

To be more specific, this group of guests is not the "friends" of the entire country, but the "friends" of the king alone.

The king is here, so this "friend" is around the king to give advice, and no one can pick out any faults.

When the king dies, Ke Qing, who lost his "friend", is disheartened and leaves for another country, or returns home to take care of his old age, and no one will accuse the new king of being ungrateful, mean and ungrateful.

Xinjun also has something to say;
——I also want to keep him, but he is my father's friend!

——My father is gone, and he only wants to be friends with my father, but not with me, what can I do? ? ?
With such a tacit understanding, the group of Keqing and the new monarch after the regime change finally resolved the core contradiction.

And this kind of tacit understanding is also from top to bottom. Under the promotion of "heroes" like Mr. Mengchang, it is gradually accepted by the people of the world.

In today's Han Dynasty, although all the officials and ministers in the court keep saying 'I am a Han official' and 'I am the founding father of the Han Dynasty', in fact, what most people think in their hearts is probably 'I am a subject of the late emperor Liu Bang'. I am a disciple of the first emperor Liu Bang'.

As for the allegiance to Liu Ying, it was only out of respect and gratitude for the former lord Liu Bang.

To put it more harshly: Rather than saying that these founding fathers are "loyalty to Liu Bang's heir Liu Ying", it is better to say that these people are "taking care" of Liu Bang's stupid son Liu Ying as old friends.

Although above the court and in the process of governing the country, such thinking would not cause any trouble, but as the emperor, Liu Ying obviously felt a little uncomfortable.

——Which emperor doesn't want to have loyal officials who are loyal to him, especially loyal ministers who are only loyal to him?
And which family's ruler doesn't want to have a few confidantes and siblings around him?
For the ancestor Gao Emperor Liu Bang, all the founding fathers who survived safely until Liu Bang's death were basically Liu Bang's "private ministers";
As far as Liu Ying is concerned, the next group of emerging military aristocrats are Liu Ying's "private ministers" in the true sense, and "confidantes" in the absolute sense.

In this way, it is obvious that Liu Ying is so concerned about the appointment of a meritorious general.

Regarding the thoughts in Liu Ying's mind, several ministers and ministers obviously knew what they were thinking.

Although they would subconsciously feel uncomfortable in their hearts, but thinking that those brats were far from enough to pose a threat to themselves, they could only force themselves to face it with a more indifferent attitude.

After the mentality has been adjusted, it is natural to discuss the specific candidates and reward specifications.

Regarding this point, several people did not overstep the bounds on their behalf, but handed over the right to speak to Liu Ying.

——Look at what the emperor said, we are looking at the situation, we should persuade, we should agree.

Seeing everyone's attitude, Liu Ying was not polite, and she opened her mouth to set the general regulations for this large-scale award.

"Jin She, Marquis of Xinwu, the official rank of Taiwei, took full control of this battle in Mayi, defeated Hu Man, beheaded and captured nearly [-] Hu Man!"

"Such a great achievement, but the Xinwuhou Kingdom only has more than [-] households. I am afraid that everyone in the world will think: I am mean and ungrateful?"

A cryptic expression, seeing that everyone didn't understand what she meant, Liu Ying simply stopped beating around the bush and directly stated her attitude.

"——Since the beginning of the Han Dynasty, our Han family has fought against the barbarians. Mo Yan's 'big victory' is a victory, and it is very rare;"

"Jin She, Marquis of Xinwu, is the first person of our Han family to win this great victory against the northern barbarian Huns!"

"Just thinking about this, and thinking about fighting again in the future, don't make the soldiers feel cold. Believe in Wuhou Jinshe, and it will be spread to thousands of households!!"

Liu Ying's words were so straightforward, they obviously couldn't pretend to be stupid anymore, they could only raise their heads worriedly;
They looked at each other for a while, and they were from the prime minister's mausoleum, and they 'reminded' in a roundabout way: "Your Majesty;"

"Thousands of years ago, my subjects, especially the military generals, have never disappeared from the annals of history..."

"After this battle, Marquis Xinwu is in the ranks of our Han family, and his prestige has flourished!"

"By the way, in remote places, there are people who know Taiwei Jin She, but don't know His Majesty, and you don't know?"

"——If His Majesty sends another letter to Marquis Wu to thousands of households, I'm afraid..."

A reminder full of apprehension only caused Liu Ying to smile lightly and shake her head: "Prime Minister, don't worry."

"After this battle, Marquis Xinwu will take off his armor and wait to teach the prince."

"If there is another war, there is no way to believe that Marquis Wu will send troops again."

The unabashed answer only caused Wang Ling to be at a loss for words for a while, he hesitated to speak several times, and finally had to surrender.

What Liu Ying said was very clear.

——After this battle is over, Jin She will never command a soldier again;
As for the "Princess to be taught", it sounds very sensitive, but Liu Ying is only in her early twenties, and it will take at least three to five years, or even ten or eight years, to register as a crown prince.

Now that Jin She has decided to fade out of the army and will no longer be in charge of the military, it is not so unbelievable that he will be rewarded for his meritorious service with the "Marquis of Ten Thousand Households".

After all, in this battle, the victory of the Han family is indeed unprecedented, and it is very likely that there will be 'no one to come'.

just like this...

"Coach Jin She, overflowing to ten thousand households..."

"So, just for this one battle, His Majesty wants to seal up to ten people?"

Realizing Liu Ying's intention, several of them raised their heads involuntarily and looked at each other slightly.

Seeing the same helplessness as themselves from each other's eyes, everyone could only smile wryly and shook their heads.

——Emperor Liu Ying obviously wanted to train his team to prepare for his future placement in the court and the army.

As ministers, even though they are high on the list of ministers, they definitely have no objection...
After figuring it out, the few people simply stopped entangled, communicated with Liu Ying for a while, and quickly settled on a rough charter.

——The coach Jin She was granted to ten thousand households, and the deputy commander, Li Ji, naturally also had to be sealed;
However, Li Ji, as the son of Qu Zhouhou, was a little difficult to deal with when his father Li Shang was still alive.

In the end, under Liu Ying's strong advocacy, several people finally agreed to Liu Ying's plan: to cover three thousand households in Qu Zhouhou State, and the total number reached [-] households;

Coupled with the premise of Jin She's "will fade out of the military", in the future, as long as Li Ji goes out as the commander-in-chief and wins, it is only a matter of time before the Qu Zhouhou family evolves towards the "Warlord of Ten Thousand Households".

As for "the son has made meritorious service, and the father has been overthrown", it may sound wrong at first glance, but if you think about it carefully, there is nothing wrong with it.

——Anyway, no matter how much Qu Zhou Hou Guo overflowed, it would still be passed on to Li Ji in the end.

Except for the coach Jin She and the deputy commander Li Ji, the rest of the senior generals would naturally also be appointed.

Quan Xu, Lieutenant of Yulin School, and Li Gandang, Lieutenant of Huben School, were both named Chehou, with [-] white households in Shiyi;

There is also the Guanzhong Army led by Jin She, and there are also three young generals at the rank of school lieutenant, who are each named Chehou, and there are five hundred households in the city.

What's more, it is an ultimate inspirational theme that can be used by novelists in Chang'an City for 50 to [-] years.

——He Weiyang, a swordsman of Captain Huben, completed the big jump from the first-level title: Gongshi, to the twentieth-level title: Chihou in one fell swoop!

In one fell swoop, he rose from the lowest title to the highest title that can be achieved by a different surname in the Han family!
As for the Chehou Shiyi of this emerging nobleman, it has reached an astonishing number of [-] households for ordinary people and ordinary soldiers...
