I'm really not King Jing of Zhongshan

Chapter 415 What's different?
After throwing away his advice, Liu She didn't pay any attention to Yuan An, but folded his hands in front of his belly, facing the direction of the palace gate and slightly closed his eyes.

——It’s not yet dawn, the sky is still dark, and there are still little bonfires lit inside the palace gate and even outside the palace wall.

Not long after, the palace gate slowly opened, Liu She walked forward first, all officials followed instinctively, and walked into Weiyang Palace.

Today's Chaoyi is not the Grand Chaoyi, or a large-scale court meeting like the Shuowang Dynasty;
But even so, today's court meeting still attracted many 'new faces'.

This is because in today's mediocre court ceremony, there will not be even a mediocre topic at all.

Every topic of today's court ceremony is a major event that can change the world, even the ancestral temple, the community, and even the fate of the country...
·
"Minister, please refer to the Empress Dowager, Empress Dowager, Your Majesty~"

Since it is such an important court ceremony, the Empress Dowager Dou and the Empress Dowager Jia will naturally not be absent when Tian Zisheng has not yet crowned himself in charge.

It's just that being on the field is going to be on the field. How much you want to interfere with this court ceremony depends entirely on Liu Sheng's ability to control the field.

——After this winter, when spring begins, Liu Sheng will perform the crowning ceremony;

No later than Xia Wuyue, Tian Zisheng will officially take power.

With more than half a year left, Empress Dowager Dou is very happy, and also hopes to give Liu Sheng a period of adaptation, and test Liu Sheng's professional skills by the way.

After all, in future generations, even if it is a car driver's license, there is still a one-year internship period, isn't it?

"The great victory in Mayi is a great victory that our Han family has never had since Emperor Taizu Gao established the state."

"This was originally a happy event."

"But in the battle of Mayi, my Han family was injured and killed a lot. Many loyal ministers and righteous men died for the country, and many farmers lost their pillars."

"This is a very sad thing..."

···
"Before, I, a blind old woman, didn't think of this sad thing, and was only trapped in the joy of Mayi's victory."

"The emperor didn't make the same mistake as me."

"The emperor, you saw something that I, and even the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, did not see, and made proper arrangements."

"This is the real happy event for my Han family after the Mayi victory..."

The opening remarks were spoken in a calm tone, and Queen Mother Dou just habitually stretched out her hand, pulled Liu Sheng beside her, and patted the back of Liu Sheng's hand lightly as if encouraging.

When Liu Sheng bowed his head with a smile and politely, all the officials and officials in the hall knew the elegant meaning by hearing Xuanyin;

After observing the Empress Dowager Dou, the emperor Sheng, his grandfather and grandson for a while, a speculator with more courage stepped forward.

"The imperial servant Yuan An, play the empress dowager."

When the figure walked out of the train, most of the people in the hall hadn't noticed it, and they only smiled and looked at the grandparent and grandson who were interacting intimately on the imperial couch.

But after hearing Yuan An's bright singing, everyone followed the sound and cast their eyes, with different thoughts flashing across their faces.

Under the attention of all the people, Yuan An didn't care about the expressions on everyone's faces, he just strode forward and bowed respectfully.

"To the Empress Dowager."

"——Emperor Xian Xiaojing left a posthumous edict when he was on his way."

"The imperial edict says: The crown prince inherits the great rule. Because he is not as old as the crown, he will not be in power for the time being. The empress dowager will take the power of the emperor on his behalf; when he is crowned, he will be in charge of the court."

"When Emperor Xian Xiaojing drafted this edict, the Empress Dowager and the ministers of the court were present. The edict was also in charge of the Empress Dowager herself, and it was issued after the first emperor's visit."

···
"I'm stupid, I don't know if I remembered it wrong?"

"—Your Majesty, it seems that he was born in the 14th year of Emperor Taizong Xiaowen BC; last year, that is, the autumn of the first year of Xinyuan, His Majesty, he was already twenty years old."

"According to the etiquette system, the men's [-]th year is the crown ceremony; according to the Han law, the civil men's [-]th year is the first ceremony."

"Since Your Majesty has reached the age of crowning, according to the edict of Emperor Xian Xiaojing, you should perform the crowning ceremony, and then come to the court to take charge..."

···
"I don't know about this matter, whether the Empress Dowager has other considerations, and I don't know if I have misremembered His Majesty's birthday;"

"It's just that the Empress Dowager is worried about state affairs and has no intention of forgetting the entrustment of Emperor Xian Xiaojing before her death, so she dares to speak out from her background."

"If the minister's action is not appropriate, I ask the empress dowager to forgive me..."

With an embarrassing expression of "I'm afraid I'm wrong, but I can't do it if I don't say it", and said this sentence that would not bring disaster to him, Yuan Ang knelt down in "sincerity and fear", and quietly waited for the final verdict of Empress Dowager Dou.

It really did not meet the expectations of Yuan An and the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty: Hearing Yuan An's words, Empress Dowager Dou did not show any displeasure at all.

Not only was he not displeased, but after recognizing Yuan An's voice, he nodded with an extremely gentle smile.

"Since the time of Emperor Taizong Xiaowen, I, a blind old woman, have never been able to escape the eyes of the servant."

"To this day, it's still the same..."

···
"—The servant is right."

"According to the entrustment of Emperor Xian Xiaojing before his death, the emperor has indeed reached the age to be crowned as a personal ruler."

"In the past few years, the emperor has also proved himself, the ability to govern by the head of the dynasty."

"A great victory in Mayi dispelled the doubts of the whole world about the emperor's succession at a young age."

"Actually, even if the eunuch doesn't mention it, I plan to discuss with you gentlemen today what to do with the emperor's coronation ceremony."

"The eunuch mentioned it for me, but it saved me a lot of talking..."

Whispering softly, she confirmed that Yuan An's proposal was right for her, and exhaled softly, Empress Dowager Dou tentatively turned her head, looking roughly at Xi Xi's train of courtiers.

"The emperor's crown ceremony is a big event."

"Especially when it comes to the emperor's personal administration, it is even more related to the ancestral temple and the community."

"The Prime Minister, Nei Shi, Shaofu, Zongzheng, and Fengchang five divisions will handle this matter together, and the Queen Mother and I will personally watch over it."

"The time is set in spring and February."

"Others, let the gentlemen discuss it..."

Finally, he said a word, giving the final instructions for Liu Sheng's coronation, and the Empress Dowager Dou slowly closed her eyes.

This attitude naturally means that in the next process of Chaoyi, Empress Dowager Dou will no longer interfere in principle, and will instead hand over the power of presiding over the government to her grandson Liu Sheng, who is about to be crowned pro-government.

And under the imperial steps, Yuan An, who had fulfilled his wish and embraced the little half of Cong Longzhi Gong into his arms, did not forget to bow his hands to Empress Dowager Dou with a smile, Fang returned to his seat and sat down contentedly.

Up to this point, the core focus of today's court ceremony was finalized through Yuan An's brave attempt and Empress Dowager Dou's understated instructions.

The next topic naturally returned to the just-concluded Mayi Battle—mainly the specific rewards for meritorious soldiers.

What can be brought to the court for discussion is naturally not the "small things" like how much food and money should be rewarded for Zhang San beheading two Huns;
And the first name that was brought up for discussion also caused everyone in the hall to quickly shift their attention from the emperor's victory and crown to the new batch of military nobles who will emerge after the Han-Hungarian Mayi Battle in a very short period of time.

"Prime Minister Taohouchen Liu She, pay homage to him."

When it comes to cracking the soil and making a marquis, especially a marquis of military merit, this issue was naturally raised by the prime minister himself.

"In the battle of Mayi, thousands of loyal and good generals died for the country. This is the great sorrow of the world."

"However, in this battle, our Han family has gained quite a lot, and it is a big blow to the Huns in the northern barbarians. This is also the great fortune of the world."

"Today, there are seven people who have made great contributions to the country. The generals in the army and the officials in the court all think that their contributions to the ancestral temple and the country can be rewarded by cracking the soil and making them princes."

"My minister has the courage to report to you in the names of the seven loyal and good people, for the empress dowager, the empress dowager, your majesty, and the ministers in the court for details..."

···
"In the battle of Mayi, the generals in the army and the ministers of the court and the government all gave the honor: General Feihu Duwei Zhang Xu took the first place."

"Your Majesty, in the autumn of the first year of the New Yuan Dynasty, Zhang Xu was ordered to lead the Feihu Captain's troops to the east of Mayi fifty miles away, and set up camp to prepare for the enemy;"

"September 29th in autumn, Zhang Xu planned to lure the Xiongnu's Zhelan, Baiyang, and Loufan to attack the Flying Fox camp at night, and then surrounded the camp outside the camp."

"——In the battle of Mayi, the Zhelan tribe of the Xiongnu had two ten thousand cavalry, and a total of twelve thousand soldiers participated in the battle;"

"On the night of September 29th in autumn, Captain Feihu under Zhang Xu's command wiped out the remnants of the Xiongnu Zhelan, killing nearly ten thousand!"

"Although the remnants of Zhelan, the Xiongnu, were completely wiped out by burning the camp, more than [-] bones were broken, so that the capital could be established outside Mayi."

"A few days ago, the Marquis of Chang'an secretly reported that: In the battle of Mayi, the two armies of the Zhelan tribe of the Xiongnu were wiped out, and none of them returned; Hakan, the king of Zhelan, was among them!"

"In addition, the Aries Department and the Lou Fan Department also lost troops and lost generals. A total of more than [-] heads were obtained by Captain Feihu."

"So in the Battle of Mayi, Zhang Xu's Flying Fox Commander was under the rank of 670; if the Zhelan tribe of the Xiongnu is included in it, it will not be less than [-]."

"That's why Zhang Xu, Captain of Feihu, Qin Mu, Captain of Caicai, Captain of Feihu, and Zhao Pengzu, Captain of Shesheng, Captain of Feihu, can be ordered to be marquises of the land."

"The ministers discussed with hundreds of officials in the court: Zhang Xu, the captain of the flying fox, according to the first meritorious service in the battle of Mayi, was floating and cut down to tens of thousands of ranks, and he could have five thousand households;"

"Feihu Du Wei Cai Guan Qin Mu, Fei Hu Du Wei She Sheng Xiao Zhao Pengzu, helped Zhang Xu to control Feihu Du Wei's troops, and promoted Mayi's victory.

As soon as Liu She's words came out, there was an extremely heavy snort immediately from the position behind Gonghou Banlie.

——As the protagonists of today's court meeting, Zhang Xu, Qin Mu, and Zhao Pengzu were naturally present.

Not only was he present, but even before Chaoyi, he had basically confirmed the good news that he was about to be named a Marquis.

But even so, when Prime Minister Liu She said, "Zhang Xu can have five thousand households, Qin Mu and Zhao Pengzu can have thousands of households", the three of them still couldn't hide their flushed faces, and even panted heavily during the court ceremony.

This is Fenghou...

To be the first of its kind, to be the first ancestor, to be hereditary, to rest with the country...

"For the second meritorious person, the ministers and officials of the court discussed together, and they all thought that the chariot and cavalry general Yanmen guarded the capital, so he could live there."

"In the battle of Mayi, although the troops of Captain Feihu won more victories, but before the arrival of Captain Feihu, the troops of the Chariots and Cavalry Guarded Mayi for more than ten days without losing it."

"In this battle, the troops of the Chariots and Cavalry Division defended the city, fighting to the death without retreating, and suffered heavy casualties."

"Although we didn't get the first rank of Qianbai, we still killed and wounded thousands of northern barbarians, so that the enemy's vigor was completely lost. Only then did Captain Feihu have a good opportunity to severely injure the Baiyang and Loufan tribes, and wipe out the Zhelan tribe."

"The old ministers discussed with hundreds of officials in the court, and they all thought: General Yanmen, the chariot and cavalry general, guards the capital, lives in Mayi for one battle, and makes two thousand households;"

"The former general didn't know his plans, and Zuozhi all defended Mayi without losing it, but he can be a thousand households;"

"Sun Shi, the school lieutenant of the Chariot and Rider Department, is in charge of guarding the north wall of Mayi. He came to the enemy's position and retreated from the enemy. He can have five hundred households."

"Wang Ponu, the crossbowman of the Cheqisuo, shot and killed the head of the Loufan tribe of the Xiongnu with a rhubarb crossbow. He also assisted one of Xiaowang and one of the Qianren generals. Zhelan, Baiyang, and Loufan had 17 soldiers, and they could be [-] households."

After making up for the achievements of the four waiting to be named Chehou under Zhidu's subordinates, and reporting the list of seven people, Liu She returned to his position.

And after Liu She returned to the throne, there was a burst of low-pitched conversations in the huge Xuanshi Hall.

However, no matter whether it was saying Zhidu's command was improper, or Cheng Bushi's voice was "poor in combat", none of them were recognized by the people around them.

——Don't care about the personalities and identities of these seven people, who they have grudges against, and whom they have grudges against;
Since the names can appear here—appear on the topic of this court ceremony, then the martial arts of these seven people are real and unquestionable.

Wu Xun cannot be questioned. If you still look for non-principle issues in other aspects to find fault, it is equivalent to saying that a hard-working civil servant is afraid of his wife, so it is as ridiculous as not to promote him.

After 'talking' for a long time, they couldn't come up with a reason to object to the seven people being named marquises, and the hall gradually quieted down.

After the conversation in the hall completely disappeared, and those people with unhappy faces lowered their heads one after another, Liu Sheng laughed and stood up.

"Since all the princes have no objection, then this matter is settled."

"The prime minister is in charge, and Zongzheng and Fengchang are in charge of investigating the public opinion. For this reason, seven people who have made great achievements choose their lands and report them to the empress dowager face to face."

So far, the awarding of meritorious soldiers in Mayi—mainly senior generals—has come to an end.

When the Han Dynasty was founded, Emperor Taizu Gao fought hundreds of battles, and a total of 140 people were awarded the founding merit;
The battle of Mayi made the Han family have seven more military nobles at one time.

You must know that during the rebellion of Wu, Chu and Seven Kingdoms during the reign of the first emperor, only five Chehous were born in the end, and one of them was Wei Qihou Dou Ying who had extra points for foreign relatives...

"In the end, what's the difference..."

With such doubts, Yuan An slowly raised his head and looked at the tall and straight figure on top of Yutao.

After a long time, Yuan Ang lowered his head thoughtfully, and whispered to himself again.

"perhaps······"

"Should I also learn from that Chao Cuo?"

"Even if you don't go to the border, at least you have to go to the army once?"
