1.70 Appointment of a prince to the prime minister
After sailing for a day and night, Liu Bei had returned to Nangang safely. He transferred to the royal city and took a shower and changed his clothes, just in time for the court meeting.
Five days and ten days of dynasty have become a routine.
It happened that the dynasty was full of officials of more than 600 stones. When the rooster crowed, the Zuo Kingdom ordered Shiyi and a group of female officials and palace maids got up and worked busy. They cleaned the hall and laid out the seats. They also added refreshing spices to the incense burner. Open the warm cabinet in winter, and prepare ice cream in summer.
There are two important things in the court today. One is national defense. The second is to reward the prime ministers of the two countries.
When the king and his ministers meet, they will sit down.
Through the nine strings of dew hanging in front of him (the jade string hanging on the crown), Liu Bei looked around the ministers in the hall, and then smiled and said, "The two ministers of the country are invited to leave."
"I am here." The two prime ministers came out of the line and knelt in front of the hall.
"Let's orders be issued by the Zuo Kingdom." Liu Bei said again.
"My me, obey the order." The commander of the Zuo Kingdom took the edict in his hand and slowly unfolded:
"Geng Yong, the right prime minister, was full of romantic affairs. Cui Jun, the left prime minister, was elegant and noble. They were all close friends of the orphans when they were young. Since following the orphans, they have been respectful to the wise and inferiors, and have been diligent in their country. They have been an official for ten years. They are loyal and can be seen. Now the Ji Kingdom is united and they have shared the same hatred for the enemy. The Han and Hu are mixed, and the people are transformed. The road is not picked up, and the house is not closed at night. There are more and more filial piety and brotherhood. The two prime ministers can be said to have worked hard and made great contributions. (Shun) Emperor said: "I am my heart and ears. I want to keep the people in my hands, but I am worried about you. " "You are the cloak of the car, which is very tall. The chief clerk of the chief clerk, and the tiyou pavilion was before Shi. He also gave the title of Guannei Marquis, with a hundred kilograms of gold and two thousand stones in the rank. He gave his virtue."
"I... thank your Majesty, thank you, the King."
The first is 2,000 stones, and the position is comparable to the nine ministers. The monthly grain is 180 hu, and the annual salary is 2,160 stones. The discount is 648,000.
Since the Han Dynasty, although the Guannei Marquis had no fief, they had a salary. At the beginning of the founding of the country, all the people were in trouble. Guangwu was frugal, and all the concubines in the harem were cut off several times. Therefore, "In the sixth year of Jianwu, the salary of the Guannei Marquis who had fiefs was ordered to be 25 hu per month." It was less than 200 shi of the young official. In the twenty-sixth year of Jianwu, the people's livelihood improved and the salary was increased to hundreds of officials: "The more than 1,000 shi were reduced to the old system of Xijing, and the less than 600 shi were increased to the old rank." However, the Guannei Marquis was not seen.
The throne of the Marquis of Guannei can be inherited, but it must be inherited by a reduction. "The two sons of Guannei will not be updated, but their sons will be hairpins." It is also necessary, which is higher than six feet and two inches (one meter and sixty-five), and there is no disability.
Now I understand what it means to be "high is precious". I am short and don't even have the right to inherit!
Nowadays, the Guanneihou Hou was similar to "added officials". For example, Liu Bei appointed the left and right prime ministers as Guanneihou, and his salary was increased to 2,000 shi from the original 2,000 shi.
Liu Bei was a prince. Even if he was granted titles to his descendants, he must submit a letter to the court. Your Majesty can only issue a formal edict.
In other words, Liu Bei "gives the chariot cover, which is one meter tall, and the chief clerk of the chief clerk of the chief eagle, and the tiyouping mud in front of Shi. He also gave the title of Guannei Marquis, 100 kilograms of gold and 2,000 stones in the rank", which are all rewards from His Majesty.
Therefore, in Liu Bei's edict, there are two words "expression" and "expression" and "expression" in Liu Bei's edict.
Therefore, when the two ministers thanked him, they would first thank His Majesty and then thank King Ji.
What Shi Yi read out was the edict of King Ji. There was also an edict of His Majesty from Shangshutai in his sleeve. Although he had not read it in front of the palace, he had to hand over the edict to the two of them afterwards.
Your Majesty clearly states the price.
The Guannei Hou paid five million yuan. As for "the 10-meter-high car cover, the carriage is yellow, and the carriage of senior officials of the Prime Minister's Office can use red tart cloth to screen mud in front of the carriage" and so on. These additional rewards were made with a big stroke of his pen, and the price of a family relationship was paid in half. The price was another five million yuan, which was enough to make up 10 million yuan. In other words, Liu Bei spent a total of 20 million yuan for the rewards of the two prime ministers.
This shows that Liu Bei took great pains to do so.
This move made Liu Bei win the hearts of the people, so it was so cheap.
The reason why he kept secret and kept it still to this point is because he went through a lot of trouble. When Liu Bei returned from Yongnu, His Majesty's edict was still on the way. He had just arrived.
The so-called title of marquis and ministers. All officials in Ji State breathed a sigh of relief. Since they received a double salary, their salary was above the two prime ministers, they were often uneasy. They didn’t know how to deal with the two prime ministers. They also didn’t know how to deal with the two prime ministers. When they met with the two prime ministers, they should deal with the same kind of self. Now that the two prime ministers were granted marquis, their salary was returned to the top of the people, they were finally at ease.
Even Wang Fu Huang Zhong nodded and praised him.
After the female official moved the seats of the two, he moved upwards, and was one row higher than the right-ranked king Fu Huang Zhong. Then the two of them praised her for taking a seat. In this way, the civil servants had two thousand stones, and only the left-ranking chief of the shogunate Xun You were left. The female official reset the seat at the head of the team. When Xun You got up and saluted, he moved to the chief, and the female official removed his previous seat.
As mentioned earlier, the seating is really important.
After the two prime ministers and civil and military officials gathered their feelings, they began to discuss politics.
"Third brother."
"My brother is here."
"I ordered you to lead your troops to the north and station in Yangxiangcheng to prevent the enemy in the north."
"Here!" Zhang Fei was overjoyed and accepted the order.
Fangcheng County is 85 miles east of Xinchang City, the capital of the former Xinchang Houguo. It is fifty-five miles north of the Houguo Town of the Yuanyang Township. It is 70 miles southeast of Hancheng. It is vast and requires heavy troops to garrison. Since the second brother Guan Yu has guarded Santai City, the third brother Zhang Fei will be unwilling to be in the descendants.
"Tell the head of the township Yang that all the residents scattered outside the city will be moved into the city. No mistakes shall be made."
"Receive the order!"
As mentioned earlier, Fangcheng belongs to Dukang, and belongs to Shanggu County during the Qin Dynasty. Fangcheng County was established in the former Han Dynasty, which belonged to Guangyang State. Today, the Han Dynasty is still Fangcheng County, and its area has expanded. Yangxiang Hou Kingdom, Xinchang Hou Kingdom, and Linxiang Hou Kingdom were all merged into Fangcheng County, which was originally Zhuo County.
Now they are all classified as Liu Bei's fiefdom.
To facilitate management, the two prime ministers once made suggestions to separate the Yangxiang Houguo and Xinchang Houguo again and establish Yangxiangcheng and Xinchangcheng. Just as Yichang, Rongcheng, from Anci and Fanyang.
Unlike other places, Ji Kingdom is mostly a "city system". The large city is a hundred miles away and the small city is fifty miles away. This is how it is easier to circle the city. There are no villages outside the city, and there are only pavilions, post offices, beacons, and other things on the road.
At the county level, for Ji State, its system is more like the Marquis State.
After Liu Bei returned to China, he followed his words and separated the two places from Fangcheng County. The two cities were newly established as Changzhi.
Cui Lin, whose courtesy name is Deru, was from Dongwucheng, Qinghe County. He was a relative of Cui Yan, the commander of Nan Guangyang. This year, it was fifteenth. It was the time to hire people. It was recommended to Liu Bei by his mentor Liu Chong. After the two prime ministers, they believed that he was knowledgeable, upright, and had a broad mind, had a general idea, and took the overall situation into consideration.
This was awarded the position of Yangxiangcheng Chief by exception.
When Liu Bei first met him, he was half the big boy behind his brother Cui Yan. When he saw him again, he had already achieved success in his studies. When he was young, how could he not make Liu Bei feel relieved?
Cui Lin's family was poor and had no carriages. His companion Cui Yan wanted to borrow carriages and horses to him, but his mentor also wanted to rent a carriage for him, but Cui Lin refused. He said that he had only been in office for more than a hundred miles, and he could settle down along the pavilions along the way, so why do you need carriages and horses? Then he packed his bags, bid farewell to his mentors and classmates, and took the post on foot.
Cui Lin's family was poor, and his relatives looked down upon him, but his cousin Cui Yan was very appreciative. Now it is true. He became an official at the age of fifteen. Although Lin Township is full of talents, there are only a few people.
More than fifty miles, just one day.
