Chapter 214 Canonization Ceremony (1)
Literature is on the left, martial is on the right!
All officials take the seat according to the rank. The first row is the position of officials above the third rank, and the second and third rows are the position of officials below the third rank.
"Haha, Lord Wang is here!"
"It seems that all my colleagues are here by step!"
“Haha, each other.”
All officials were dressed in court uniforms and were seated in a straightforward manner. Generals at all levels were wearing military uniforms and long swords on their waists, and walked into Fengtian Hall majestic. The Qin Empire was martial and could carry weapons into any hall. Even if they were in Xianyang Palace, they could enter with swords. Of course, the prerequisite for entering Xianyang Palace must be informed in advance, and trespassing is a death penalty.
Not only military generals carry swords, but also civil officials also hang long swords at the same waist. This is not a taboo.
"Go together!"
The eunuch outside the hall shouted loudly!
Everyone looked up and saw a middle-aged man who was about forty years old and walked into Fengtian Hall with a smile. Qi was wearing a red official uniform. Seeing that his official uniform was embroidered with a white squid patch, he knew that he was a fifth-rank Qi Chen!
The official uniforms of the Jiuzhou countries are almost the same, but the colors are different and the configuration is basically the same. They all wear crowns and hats, with official ribbons hanging on both sides of the crowns and hats, and black feet.
This Qi envoy was Tang Wen, a doctor of the Ministry of Rites of the Great Qi Empire.
"Empress Qi is finally here, take your seat quickly!"
Kong Wen, the Minister of Rites in his fifties, hurried forward to greet him with a smile on his face.
"Shangshu Kong is polite!" Tang Wen smiled and wrote a greeting. Kong Wen hurriedly returned the greeting. Prime Minister Chang Zifei, who was sitting in the first row, slowly got up from his seat and walked over with a smile on his face.
Kong Wen saw Chang Zifei coming and immediately bowed to Chang Zifei. Chang Zifei waved his hand and signaled Kong Wen to retreat. He saw Chang Zifei bent down to Tang Wen with a smile on his face to celebrate the salute, and Tang Wen hurriedly returned the salute.
"After the matter of Nanguan, I originally wanted to go to the Qi Empire in person and thank Emperor Qi in person. Who would have thought that the Enguo sent someone to him personally? It was really a rude Qin. Don't mind it before Qi was sent!" Chang Zifei said with gratitude.
This gratitude is true and seven points false, even gratitude is half true and half false, let alone going to the Qi Empire in person to thank Emperor Qi.
When Tang Wen heard this, he couldn't help but smile with satisfaction, and then bent down and laughed: "The Prime Minister of Qin is serious. Qin and Qi have a good relationship. As an ally, everyone will come and go. Don't be too polite. Besides, I know that the Qin Empire has just recovered the lost territory, and everything is in trouble. A lot of things are waiting to be dealt with. Even my Majesty can understand Qin's difficulties."
"The Emperor of Qi can understand, but I am really moved by it. I will not hide it from Qi's envoy. Our dynasty has not sent anyone to Jinling to obtain a household registration!" Chang Zifei smiled bitterly.
When the Jin army withdrew from Wujin Pass, they took away household registrations from all over the country. Only a few cities in Nanyang County had no time to take away the household registrations, and the rest of the household registrations were taken back to Jinling by the Jin army.
What is household registration? Household registration is a magical tool for recording population and fields. Only with household registration, you can understand everything about the people of the four counties as quickly as possible. For example, how many people are there in this person’s family, how many people are there in this county, how many fields are there, etc., and you can also find the taxes in recent years. If there is no such thing, the court will have to send new officials to count, which is very time-consuming and labor-intensive, and it cannot be done overnight.
This household registration was originally from the Qin Empire. When Empress Dowager Min stole the country and cedeed the land [Biquga.info], the household registration was packaged and given to the Jin Empire. Otherwise, how could the Jin Empire understand and control the four counties so quickly?
"Is that true? You have to get the household registration back quickly, it's not possible!" Tang Wen said solemnly.
"The chaos of the three kingdoms of Jin, Yan and Zhao is now the time when the Jin Empire is furious. If you go at this time, you will be disappointed. So, our dynasty is going to send someone to Jinling to get a household registration after the three kingdoms of Jin, Yan and Zhao!" Chang Zifei said with a faint smile on his face.
After saying that, Chang Zifei took Tang Wen to the seat. Since the Qi Empire helped Qin twice and was the benefactor of the Qin Empire, Tang Wen's position was next to Chang Zifei to show the treatment of the Qin Empire to the Qi Empire.
Tang Wen was also very satisfied with this. After taking the seat, Tang Wen looked at Chang Zifei with a little confusion, and said in a somewhat hesitant tone: "I just heard Chang Xiang's words, and I had a doubt below. I wonder if Chang Xiang can explain it?"
"But it's okay!" Chang Zifei smiled softly.
"Chang Xiang said that the three kingdoms of Jin, Yan and Zhao were in chaos, and Jin was in anger. Qin was worried that he would be burned by the anger of the Jin Empire, so he was preparing to go to Jinling after the war. Is it wrong to repeat it?" Tang Wen said.
Chang Zifei nodded calmly.
"At this point, I am very confused. I think that the Jin Empire was attacked by Yan and Zhao. Isn't this a good time for the Qin Dynasty? At this time, I want a household registration at home. How dare he not give it to the Jin Empire? If you follow Chang Xiang's words and go after the war, I think, I am afraid that the Jin Empire will be fearless and will not give it to it!" Tang Wen said with confusion.
"Haha!" Chang Zifei couldn't help laughing.
Tang Wen frowned and said in a displeasure: "Why does Chang Xiang laugh? Could it be that I, Tang Wen, had a little talent and stupid words, which made Chang Xiang laugh?"
Chang Zifei waved his hand with a flushed face, "Qi Zhi misunderstood. When he thought of the misfortune of the Jin Empire, he couldn't help laughing. It's true that I, Daqin, can't hide it. In fact, whether I go to Hedong, Hebei, Huainan and Nanyang, whether I go to the war or after the war, I can get a household registration in Hedong, Hebei, Huainan and Nanyang!"
"When we go during the war, there is pressure from Yan and Zhao, the Jin Empire dare not refuse to give it. After the war, the Yan and Zhao have already disabled the Jin Empire. Our Qin recovered the four counties and greatly increased its strength, and its national strength far surpassed the Jin Empire. At that time, the troops will be suppressed by Huangshi and sent people to Jinling to obtain household registration. The Jin Empire will be under border pressure and dare not refuse to give it!"
"The reason I chose to go after the war was because the four counties of our Great Qin were not safe and the officials had not been deployed. The four counties seemed calm, but in fact they were undercurrents. The envoys should know the national policy of our Qin. This national policy is loved by the people, but the aristocratic families in various places do not like it or even dislike it!"
"If you don't handle the allocation of officials, what's the use of aristocratic families in various places to get a household registration? Besides, our dynasty is now recruiting troops and imperial examinations, which require manpower. It can be said that no one can go to Jinling for the Qin Dynasty, so we can only wait until these matters are handled before sending people to Jinling for household registration. By that time, the three kingdoms of Yan, Zhao, Jin and Jin will almost be fought!"
"So that's it!" Tang Wen nodded in a vague way.
After hearing what Chang Zifei said, he was not happy at all, especially when he heard that the Jin Empire was crippled by Yan and Zhao, he was even more shocked. The original plan of the Great Qi was to let Qin and Jin restrain each other, so that the northern part of the Great Qi would be free of trouble.
