At the end of November in the fifth year of Emperor Zhangwu of the Han Dynasty.

Mi Yang, who was at the Chancellor's desk in Weiyang Palace, didn't know yet that Cao Wei and Jiangdong had formed an alliance.

He didn't even know that Sun Quan, forced by the development of the times, would choose the same old path he took in his previous life.

But even if he knew, Mi Yang wouldn't mind if he came.

The inevitable changes in the world structure cannot be stopped by human power, and Mi Yang will not bother to stop it.

Because the current Han Dynasty is no longer the small country that was contemptuously called "Shu".

Judging from the current land area occupied by the Han Dynasty, the reserve of talents, and the strength of the military, the alliance between Cao Wei and Jiangdong will make the Han Dynasty feel troublesome, but it is absolutely impossible to fear that.

As the saying goes, if you want to wear a crown, you must first bear its weight.

From Mi Yang's perspective, the cooperation between Cao Wei and Jiang Dong only made the situation more exciting.

Of course, although we still don't know about Cao Wei and Jiang Dong's alliance, it doesn't mean that Mi Yang had an easy life during this period.

On the contrary, since entering Chang'an for more than a month, Mi Yang has been tied up by a large number of official duties every day.

On the second day after regaining Chang'an, Liu Bei issued a special edict to reward Mi Yang.

In that edict, Liu Bei gave Mi Yang the honor of being praised and worshiped without a name and entering the court without any tendency.

In addition to the swords and shoes given by Liu Bei before going to the palace, it can be said that Mi Yang has now collected a three-piece set that represents the supreme honor of a minister.

In addition to the major honorary rewards, Liu Bei did not treat Mi Yang poorly in terms of power.

"Make Linzi a new food town, change it to the title of Marquis of Qi, and enjoy the food town of ten thousand households.

He was given the title to open the mansion, pay homage to the minister, lead the imperial censor Zhongcheng, and record the affairs of the minister."

When the contents of Liu Bei's reward for Mi Yang were made public, it can be said that it shocked all the Han officials inside and outside Chang'an.

Mi Yang was a county prince a long time ago. Thanks to Liu Bei's many blessings, his food estate had already exceeded 10,000 households.

Not to mention Mi Yang, even Mi Yang's wife Guan Yan also enjoyed a food estate of 3,000 households.

However, the title of Champion Marquis is different from that of Qi Marquis, even though Mi Yang's food estate did not increase due to this reward.

Usually, the title of a county lord is based on the name of the county where he enjoys food.

But it is obvious that there is currently no county named after "Qi" in the world.

So Liu Bei gave "Qi" to Mi Yang as his marquis title, and the meaning behind it is quite intriguing.

You must know that "Qi" was a well-known national title hundreds of years ago.

And who among the people in the world does not know that in the four hundred years since the Han Dynasty, the two titles of Qi and Chu have always been the two most noble among the many titles.

Fortunately, Liu Bei's edict clearly stated that he was "Marquis of Qi" instead of "King of Qi". Otherwise, there would definitely be some stubborn ministers who would start writing letters to persuade Liu Bei to withdraw his orders.

Of course, the ministers were not only shocked by Liu Bei's reward.

Compared with the "Marquis of Qi", Liu Bei's redivision of Mi Yang's power in the edict made many ministers jealous.

The power to open the government and govern affairs was the power that Mi Yang had when he officially became the general after the Battle of Nanzheng.

It's just that Mi Yang's previous power to open the government and govern affairs was held in accordance with the conventions of the Han Dynasty.

But now Liu Bei clearly wrote it in the edict. As the founder of the country, Liu Bei openly gave Mi Yang the power to open the government and govern affairs. This kind of gold content is naturally more important.

As long as Mi Yang does not make a big mistake in the future, even if Liu Chan wants to take back Mi Yang's power to open the government and govern affairs in the future, a group of veterans can use the "last emperor's will" to reject Liu Chan's edict without Mi Yang having to step forward.

Everyone knows how important it is to have the power to establish a government and govern affairs. It almost means allowing Mi Yang to form a small court that is completely loyal to him.

In addition to this point, the appointment of "paying homage to the minister and recording the affairs of the minister" actually expanded Mi Yang's power.

As we all know, before retaking Chang'an, Mi Yang, as a general, had been leading troops outside.

He rarely interfered with the government affairs of the imperial court.

Over the past few years, the power structure in which Mi Yang was in charge of the army and Zhuge Liang was in charge was gradually accepted by the Han people.

But who would have thought that just after regaining Chang'an, Liu Bei would give Mi Yang the power to record ministerial affairs.

Since the time of King Sejong, the Shangshutai has gradually become the central administrative institution of the Han Dynasty.

Liu Bei asked Mi Yang to record the affairs of the minister, which was equivalent to allowing Mi Yang to intervene in the government affairs of the minister's desk.

Of course, the current minister is Ma Liang, but what's the use?

During the reign of Emperor Zhao and Xuan, the Han Dynasty also had a ministerial order, but at that time, the government affairs of the country were decided by the general Huo Guang, who also had a ministerial order.

From this case, it can be seen that as long as Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang do not interfere, Mi Yang has one vote of decision-making power in handling the national government affairs.

Originally, as a general, Mi Yang controlled nearly 70% of the military power of the Han Dynasty.

Now that Mi Yang has the power to record Shangshu affairs, it means that Mi Yang has almost all the important military and political power of the Han Dynasty in his hands.

Based on the current political situation, I am afraid that the only people in the Han Dynasty who can exert checks and balances on Mi Yang in terms of power are Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang.

A sealing edict made Mi Yang not only the pinnacle of honor among ministers, but also the pinnacle of power among ministers.

It is not surprising that when Liu Bei's edict to reward Mi Yang was spread, it caused shock in both the government and the public.

How old is Mi Yang this year?

As the saying goes, it's always cold at high places, and with different people's hearts, many Han officials had some criticisms of Liu Bei's reward.

However, before the objections of those Han officials reached Liu Bei's ears, they were completely refuted by most of the Han officials.

Opponent: "The general is still young."

Supporter: "The general regained Chang'an for the Han Dynasty."

Opponent: "As a minister, one should not have too much power in his hands."

Supporter: "According to the ancestral system of the Han Dynasty, it is common sense for generals to record official records."

Opponent: "The general of chariots and cavalry has not yet recorded the affairs of the minister!"

Supporter: "The general regained Chang'an."

Opponent: "..."

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! No matter what objections the opponents put forward, those who support Mi Yang will not talk about anything else.

They either talk about the ancestral system or Mi Yang's achievements in regaining Chang'an.

Under the focus of supporters, some opponents were quickly defeated.

It's not that their eloquence is poor, it's just the words "recover Chang'an" that are enough to render them speechless.

But those who objected also had to thank the ministers who were willing to speak out against them.

What those opponents didn't know was that when the generals in the army knew that they had words that were detrimental to Mi Yang, their emotions immediately exploded.

Wei Yan, who was instrumental in the capture of Chang'an, once openly walked through the streets and alleys of Chang'an with a knife in his hand, looking for those "villains" with an eager look on his face.

This was a move made by the hot-tempered Wei Yan, but if the opinions of those opponents continue to ferment, it is estimated that even a general with a calm personality would not mind having a "Chang'an sword practice".

The reason why the generals in the army defended Mi Yang so much, apart from their heartfelt respect and love for Mi Yang, is that Mi Yang was able to obtain his current power mainly by commanding the Han army to win the Northern Expedition and regain Chang'an.

Credit.

And opposing Mi Yang's takeover of military and political power, isn't it indirectly ignoring Mi Yang's great achievements?

If Mi Yang's great achievements can be ignored, what about the many Han generals who followed Mi Yang through life and death in the past year?

Blocking other people's interests is like killing your parents.

The Han Dynasty currently has an interest group that cannot be ignored, and their name is very loud - Military Honors!

The Han Dynasty was not the Song Dynasty. Even the emperor would have a headache if the military nobles of the Han Dynasty became ruthless.

With the support of many ministers, Liu Bei's reward edict was finally implemented smoothly, and Mi Yang officially started his busy life.

Liu Bei has officially issued an edict to move the capital of the Han Dynasty back to Chang'an.

But Liu Bei's next edict was very easy, but Mi Yang had to work half to death.

Moving the capital has been a huge undertaking since ancient times.

It is foreseeable that a large number of sergeants, officials, and family members from Chengdu will flock to Chang'an City in the near future.

However, Chang'an City already has a large population, and there is not much limited space in the city.

Within the limited space, Mi Yang had to arrange various official offices, military camps, official residences, etc.

The most important thing is that Mi Yang can no longer make the people in Chang'an feel wronged.

This undoubtedly greatly increased the difficulty of Mi Yang's work.

While doing this, Mi Yang also had to devote a large part of his energy to coordinating the renovation of Changle and Weiyang palaces.

After all, on New Year's Day, Liu Bei will hold a grand banquet in Chang'an Palace to announce the rebirth of the Han Dynasty to the world.

There is no way that when envoys from various countries arrive, they will see a dilapidated imperial city.

But is this all Mi Yang needs to do?

Things are far from that simple.
