Three Kingdoms: Ancestors of the Han Dynasty

Chapter 822

In 245 AD, the 23th year of Jianxing.

On the palace road, the civil and military officials of the great Han Dynasty wore sackcloth and mourned the deceased Empress Dowager Wu, but their words were not too sentimental. They discussed the current situation with each other, and the recovery of Luoyang City was the focus of their discussions.

General Wang Ping greeted Wei Yan who was attending the court meeting, "I don't know how the body of Wei Cheqi is?"

Wei Yan, who was leaning on crutches, shook his head, sighed and said, "I'm sick, my legs and feet are inconvenient, and my order is coming!"

Wei Yan, a general who galloped on the battlefield in the past, was not as strong as before after he got sick, his legs and feet were stiff, and he couldn't breathe after walking a few steps. Now he needs a car to travel and cannot ride a war horse.

Feeling, Wei Yan congratulated Wang Ping and said: "The general was ordered to suppress Wei's great strategy, which is a great contribution to the Han Dynasty. It is a pity that Yan is old and difficult to go out. Therefore, I hereby wish the general great success and fame through the ages." .”

Although Wei Yan's words were congratulations, his tone revealed envy. It can be said that the achievement of destroying a country is something that all generals want to have, and Wei Yan is no exception.

"Thank you Wei Cheqi for your good words. If you have any questions about military strategies in the future, I hope Cheqi can give you some pointers." Wang Ping said modestly.

On the way back to the country, Liu Chan asked Wang Ping to be in charge of making a plan to destroy Wei. After all, professional things should be done by professional people, and in terms of military strategy, Liu Chan is not as good as Wang Ping, Deng Ai, Jiang Wei and others. It is better to let them go Discuss, and then let yourself make the decision.

"Of course!" Wei Yan raised the corner of his mouth, and he seemed very pleased with Wang Ping's attitude.

"Boom!"

With the ringing of the bell representing the court meeting, everyone stopped discussing, straightened their clothes, took off their shoes and socks, and walked into the hall.

And in the hall, Liu Chan was also wearing a crown robe inside and a sackcloth outside, sitting on the couch, watching the people under the steps finish their court rituals, and then asked them to get up and take their seats.

After the ceremony was over, Taichang Du Qiong held a wat board and came out to report: "Your Majesty, the empress dowager is dead, and she should be buried in the tomb of the first emperor, and her posthumous title is regarded as respected. After a long discussion, I thought that the empress dowager It can be named "Mu Lie" as its posthumous title. Zhao is the main, and Mu is the second. It can be buried in the right mausoleum of the first emperor, so as to show the prosperity of the emperor and empress, and demonstrate the benevolence and filial piety of your majesty."

It is not difficult to understand what Du Qiong said about the distinction between primary and secondary.Zhaomu is on the left, and Mu is on the right; Zhao is the main one, and Mu is the second.Liu Chan's biological mother, Mrs. Gan, has the posthumous title of "Zhaolie", which is the same as Lao Liu's "Zhaolie", which means that Mrs. Gan is also the empress dowager recognized by the Han Dynasty.

The Empress Dowager Wu is not Liu Chan's biological mother, but only a aunt.Empress Dowager Wu's posthumous title is "Mu Lie", which has the meaning of "Zhao Lie" against the old Liu, but in fact it shows that she is inferior to Mrs. Gan, and the position of burial also shows all this.

Liu Chan nodded slightly, and said: "It is too common to say that Qing will preside over the Empress Dowager's funeral, and all expenses will be paid from Chengdu."

"promise!"

After a pause, Du Qiong continued: "Your Majesty, the empress dowager is dead, and the six palaces have no owner. The system of concubines in the later Han Dynasty is difficult to control the six palaces. It is a great honor for Mrs. Wang to have a prince, and she should be respected; Mrs. Xiahou is wise and courageous. Entering Luoyang is to treat you generously. My old minister implores Your Majesty to restore the system of the former Han Dynasty and set up a [-]th class system."

"I think you can follow Du Taichang's idea. Mrs. Wang's aspirations are simplicity, and she can be a queen!" Qiao Zhou responded conciliatively.

Liu Chan raised his eyebrows slightly, and said lightly: "I have already said in the past, and there is no need to say more. As for restoring the system of the former Han Dynasty, I take it for granted. Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Xiahou and I have made meritorious deeds. Mrs. Wang can It is You Zhaoyi, and Mrs. Xiahou is named Zuo Zhaoyi, and they are in charge of the six palaces together."

"promise!"

Regarding Liu Chan's unceremonious canonization method, Du Qiong and Qiao Zhou did not refute with lowered eyes, but only responded.

Most of the concubine system in the harem of the past dynasties is divided into ranks according to the queen, third wife, nine concubines, 27 royal wives, and 81 royal wives.

The third wife is second only to the queen, and above the nine concubines. There are noble concubines, wives, and nobles as the third wife. Later generations have undergone many changes, and they have become the well-known four concubines: noble, virtuous, virtuous, and virtuous.For example, Concubine Yang in the Tang Dynasty, her title was Guifei, second only to the queen, and the three concubines Shu, De, and Xian were the most senior concubines in the palace.

In the Western Han Dynasty, Zhaoyi was even more unique, ranking above the three concubines and below the empress.In order to reward Xiahou Hui, Liu Chan restored Zhaoyi and divided it into left and right Zhaoyi.After all, Xia Houhui is already the third wife, so it is unreasonable to treat her as the third wife.

The monarch and his ministers sang together, and tacitly finalized the concubine system in the harem.

At this time, Shangshu ordered Ma Liang to step out, cupped his hands and said, "I report to Your Majesty, my minister Ma Liang, please play."

"allow!"

"Since I have been in charge of Shang Shuling and Sili Captain, my body is old and my energy is exhausted. I am afraid that I will fail Your Majesty's sage. Now I sincerely ask you to step down as Sili Captain and wait for a worthy person to take over." Ma Liang said.

After Zhuge Liang's death, apart from Jiang Wan who had the greatest power, Ma Liang belonged.Especially after the capital was moved to Guanzhong, Ma Liang concurrently served as Shang Shu Ling and Sili Xiaowei, and his power expanded dramatically.Perhaps Ma Liang also resigned as the captain of Sili before realizing this, but due to the war and the relocation of the capital, Liu Chan signaled that he should be in charge for a while.

"I wonder if Qing can recommend anyone?" Liu Chan asked.

"Your Majesty, I think that Fei Yi, Inspector of Yizhou, Lu Yi, Inspector of Yizhou, and Zhuge Qiao, Inspector of Xiangzhou may be competent!"

Liu Chan pondered a little, his eyes fell on Fei Yi, and said: "Yizhou is busy with affairs, and Lu Qing cannot leave for the time being; Xiangzhou is related to Wuyue, so don't be careless. Now I intend to belong to Fei Qing. I know that you are talented, loyal and upright. Today Then the Qing will be in charge of the secretary."

Hearing this, Fei Yi knelt down and kowtowed, and replied: "I should live up to your Majesty's expectations, and rule the Sili so that people dare not break the law for selfishness."

"good!"

"Report to Your Majesty, my minister Qiao Zhou has something to report." Qiao Zhou came out and said.

"allow!"

"Report to Your Majesty, my minister observes the sky, and the sky has the appearance of the moon invading the hook, which is really like the capital of Nan'an invading the emperor....Today, I would like to revive the name of Hanyang, the old county of Nan'an County, for the sake of auspiciousness." Qiao Qiao Zhou Kan said eloquently.

Qiao Zhou said a lot of astronomical terms, just to change the name of the county. He disliked the sound of "Nan'an" and "Nan'an", so he proposed to change Nan'an County to its original old name Hanyang.

Liu Chan smiled slightly, and said: "Zhu Qiaoqing's play, the name of Hanyang County."

Previously, due to the Qiang chaos in Longxi, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty also separated out several counties in Hanyang County and newly established Nan'an County for the sake of auspiciousness. Due to the successive earthquakes in the Han Dynasty, Hanyang was restored to Hanyang for auspiciousness, which is really reincarnation.

"promise!"

At the end of the court meeting, Liu Chan said a lot of official words, conferring Xiahouba as the right general, the governor of Yanzhou, and the lord of the capital;Ma Zhong, the former right general, was named General Zhennan.

Xiahouba and Xiahouxuan were not low in official positions in the Cao Wei Dynasty. The promotion of Xiahouxuan is not the position of Jiuqing. At present, the big man has a radish and a pit. Only the Shaofu has no one, and it has not yet been established. Hyun took over.

After all, suddenly making room for Xiahouxuan and Xiahouba would also make people unhappy.That's why Liu Chan granted Xiahouba the title of governor of Yanzhou and let him lead him from afar.At the same time, let Xia Houxuan be in charge of the Shaofu, to see if he has real talents and learning, and whether he can put up the airs of the Shaofu.

The Shaofu was quite important in the politics of the Han Dynasty. It had the function of tossing private money for the emperor, and it also had the shadow of the state-owned enterprises of later generations, controlling the local economy, cracking down on the powerful, and strengthening the centralization of power.For example, Shaofu can set up handicrafts in local counties, smelt coins and other administrative means.
