"Okay! Well said! Since ancient times, the founding lords of the country were the only ones who defeated Jie and rebelled against Emperor Gaozu. Their original intention was selfless and they only wanted to save the people. Even King Wu attacked King Zhou was slightly inferior to Emperor Gaozu! My great Han should have enjoyed the world for a long time and traveled far away from Shang and Zhou."

As Li Su, Dong Fu and others finished their arguments, Liu Hong stood up from the imperial throne on the altar and gave a speech to commend him.

When I got up, I couldn't help but slap the armrest of the imperial throne several times to show my gratitude and appreciation.

As the emperor finally made a statement on such a big deal, the ministers completely stopped. This statement cannot be refuted. If it is refuted, it means that Emperor Gaozu is not righteous and that is seeking death.

There is no way, Liu Hong has been frustrated after listening to the great scholars' lectures for so many years.

Because Confucianism is the only one in the world, great Confucians have more or less lost the ability to start from factual arguments and debate issues, all based on the meaning of the classics and deduce theories through theory.

Li Su's words are obviously more like the pre-Qin schools. At that time, no one was the dominant one, so no "scripture" was authoritative. If you want to refute other schools, you can only start from the facts.

"Those rebels have not been able to die well and those who have died well" are all historical facts. The Confucian "Classics" compiled the theory so well that they could not tamper with facts and judged.

It’s like a stock analyst who is talking about it in a singular way, he can’t say that the historical records of the K-line chart are fake.

Li Su introduced the statistics of historical facts into the debate on governance, chaos, rise and fall. This is an epoch-making dimensional reduction attack, and it is not a force to win.

"Li Qing is a good person who knows the destiny of heaven. The three dukes did not recognize people and did not call him a doctor of Youdao, haha." Liu Hong continued to complain as if no one else was around, and then suddenly said, "If Li Qing has this knowledge, it is better to change it and become an official in the court."

Li Su and Zhao Yun stood below respectfully. When they heard this, they couldn't help but frown. They had to pluck their courage and secretly glanced up at the risk of losing their manners in front of them.

Only then did Li Su notice that the emperor's last words were not what he said to him, but turned to Zhao Zhong next to him. It was obvious that Zhao Zhong had already drafted the order for rewards, and today he was reading it in public through a formality. Liu Hong was happy to hear it and then he made a decision to change it.

Yes, as an emperor, how could you consider the opinions of your subordinates and discuss with you? Of course, you can let you do whatever you want.

Of course, Zhao Zhong would not go against the emperor's intentions, but he did not change it immediately. Instead, he agreed and delayed slightly, obviously trying to confirm whether the emperor was on a whim for three minutes.

Li Su knew that there were not many opportunities, so he quickly said: "Your Majesty, I have a message."

Liu Hong waved his hand and said, "Tell me."

Li Su: "I was afraid of being given to the saint's family. However, although Zhang Ju was executed, Zhang Chun was still there and Liaodong was not pacified. I respected Liu Youzhou's kindness to be known to him, and promoted me to the wild, but I dared not enjoy peace alone."

Liu Hong stared at Li Su curiously and smiled: "Yes, it's a righteous man. Then let you go back to Youzhou and wait until the thieves in Youzhou are completely quelled, and then we will discuss entering the court."

Li Su: "I thank you."

Liu Hong didn't even look at him, so he pulled Zhao Zhong and gave a few casual instructions. Zhao Zhong had to temporarily revise the imperial edict. After a long time, he was completely deprived of the imperial court.

The ministers in the court looked at it and sighed slightly in their hearts: Alas, rewards and punishments are from the heart, there is no fixed nature!

However, everyone is used to it. Liu Hong has done a lot of such strange things. At the court meeting where Cui Lie was named Situ, Liu Hong once announced his appointment in front of everyone and complained that Situ was selling cheaper.

Now it is not surprising that I feel comfortable and a little bit of reward because I hear Li Su brag.

And to be honest, Li Su's words were indeed helpful to the orthodoxy of the Han Dynasty. They were already contributing to it, and everyone was convinced.

After a while, Zhao Zhong took out a new imperial edict and read out the rewards for the major officials of Youzhou's rebellion:

“…I am also granted the title of Youzhou Mu Yu and Ji Hou, with a fief of 5,000 households, and a fake axe.

The chief minister of Liaodong, Gongsun Zan, was renamed the prefect of Youbeiping, and was granted the title of Marquis of Zhiting, with a fief of 500 households.

The commander of Guangyang and the magistrate of Ji County, Liu Bei, was appointed as the commander of Wuhuan, the prime minister of Liaodong, and was granted the title of Tinghou of Liangxiang, with a fief of 400 households.

The captain of the Wuhuan school was appointed as the chief secretary of the Jie, Li Su, the leader of Youzhou, was appointed as the chief secretary of Liaodong, and was granted the title of Duting Hou, with a fief of 200 households.

Guan Yu, the governor of the Guangyang commander Zuoyamen, was promoted to the Liaodong commander, the Marquis of Guannei, and the fief of 100 households..."

After listening quietly, Li Su had no title from Guan Yu and went down, and there was not even a lord in Guanneihou.

In addition, the reason why Liu Bei was named "Liaodong Prime Minister" was because at that time there were both "Liaodong County" and "Liaodong Victims". The chief of the county was the prefect, and the chief of the vassal state was the prime minister.

In the early Eastern Han Dynasty, a vassal king was enthroned in Liaodong, and the area of ​​Liaodong was very large, so several counties around Changli County were classified as Liaodong County and listed as a separate kingdom. Liaodong County still governed Xiangping.

But the vassal kings who were later granted to Liaodong no longer existed, and the Liaodong vassal state was also under the jurisdiction of the prefect of Liaodong County. So in fact, the "Liaodong Prefect" was slightly higher than the "Liaodong Prime Minister".

Yangzhong, who died in the rebellion of Zhang Ju, was originally the prefect of Liaodong, but because most areas of Liaodong County were still under the hands of traitors, he was temporarily granted the title of Liu Bei's Liaodong Prime Minister, which is also a hint that Liu Bei:

You have to fight back the territory granted to you by the court. As long as you fight back, your "principal" will naturally be upgraded to "prefect".

As the chief minister of Liaodong, Li Su also wanted to serve as Liu Bei's deputy to help completely annihilate the Liaodong rebels.

In addition, the Marquis who brought a "Cun" at the end of the Han Dynasty were already considered marquis in terms of rank, but there was still no fiefdom, only virtual fief, tax and salary similar to the Marquis of Guannei.

For example, the fief of the Guanneihou has no specific place, and you don’t know where your 100 households are.

The court only counted ten stones of food per year according to the standard of paying four stones per year for male and adult women to make two stones per year for each household.

The 100 households of Guannei Hou received a title and salary of 1,000 stones per year. The 200 households of Duting Housing will be given 2,000 stones, and the 300 households of Duxiang Housing will be given 3,000 stones...

The normal Tinghou is already higher than the Duxiang Hou, because they have a Tinghou that can be seen on the real map as the fiefdom.

All the marquises and township marquises are still named in their county, and they also write down the number of households in their fiefs. After they arrive at the local area, they will make up one or several pavilions according to the number of households.

For example, Liu Bei signed the title of Tinghou in Liangxiang this time, which is the county name. Suppose there are two pavilions in a local township, one hundred households and one three hundred households, and the total is exactly 400 households, then all of them will be given to Liu Bei’s food and rent and tax.

In the end, the money that should be given must be given. The regular price of the Wuhuan Captain and the Liaodong Prime Minister is 15 million each, and the titles are even more exaggerated. The Duting Hou starts at 10 million, Duxiang Hou 15 million, and the serious Taiting Hou 20 million.

Most of them were offset with the rewards from the Wuhuan tribe that Liu Bei paid to Liu Yu on his behalf, but they still had to pay an additional part, and tens of millions of dollars were definitely indispensable.

Otherwise, there were so many people who made meritorious service to the court, why wouldn’t we see others being promoted every time they made merit?

After more than a year, I was promoted from county magistrate to school lieutenant, and no one could do it without paying money.

...

"We finally have a title! Although it's just Duting Marquis, we are considered a marquis at least! It's not easy. It's so easy to sneak into Qiu Liju's camp and chat and laugh, and get Zhang Ju's head. It's really difficult for the Han Dynasty scholars to be named a marquis. Fortunately, the diplomatic victory of Zhang Ju can barely be played and count as military merits."

After hearing the complete reward decision, Li Su received the order with both hands and thanked him again, but his mind was still a little uneasy.

After a long time, the court finally dispersed and Li Su also retreated according to the throne.

Someone from the Tenth Equestrians called Li Su and asked him to wait. The emperor still had something to talk to him, so Li Su had to continue waiting.

But in fact, it was nothing. Liu Hong suddenly became interested today and asked Li Su to tell him some historical stories - mainly to interpret some things from the perspective of data statistics and inventory of historical events.

Because the great scholar who taught history lessons to the emperor before never talked about it from the perspective of data statistics and analysis, the emperor was curious.

Li Su was patient and explained for a long time, and chose the interesting inventory as much as possible. It almost looked like the tune of the UC shocked the UC department's "Top Ten XXX in history, the fourth place, the second place, but most people didn't know about it". Anyway, it was the title file that tricked the clicks.

Liu Hong was really happy to hear it, so he kept him quit his meal before letting him go. Before leaving, an eunuch privately told him: "Go back and let the Liaodong minister work hard and do his best to do his best. On the day when Youzhou was completely pacified, Your Majesty appointed him as the prefect of Liaodong and the general of Liao."

The Captain of the Wuhuan and the Liaodong Prime Minister were both worth two thousand stones.

The General Du Liao and the Prefect of Liaodong were only two thousand stones, and they were half a level higher. When it came to the General Du Liao, they were considered as miscellaneous generals, and they also passed the transformation from "seniors" to "generals" such as the commander and the lieutenant.

This is a big hurdle. Many military officers have never been able to overcome the gap between the captain and the general in their entire lives.

Historically, these two positions were basically the high positions that Gongsun Zan reached before the heroes attacked Dong, and now they have been taken away in half.

"How dare you not live without your life as your Majesty?"

...

After returning to Luoyang City, it was already evening that day. Li Su and Zhao Yun returned to their residence to stay for another night, preparing to return to Youzhou to report tomorrow with the imperial court's reward order.

Li Su also noticed that Zhao Yun had the merit of killing Zhang Ju himself, but in order to boast about the prestige of the court, Zhao Yun could only be the hero behind the scenes, so he was not mentioned in this imperial decree.

When everyone closed the door and spoke private words, Li Su of course had to comfort Zhao Yun: "Zilong, don't worry, Guan Sima has been promoted to Liaodong Chief Commander, and the subordinates of the Chief Commander are not Liu Fujun and Guan Duwei have the final say? By then, Yidejin will be the governor of the Left Yamen, and you will definitely be the governor of the Right Yamen, and you are above the Sima of the various ministries."

Taking action during assassination is not a hard work in Zhao Yun’s martial arts, but the target he killed is valuable, and the credit is valuable.

After working overtime for half an hour, it was already very cost-effective to be promoted from Sima, another department to the right-fang gate governor.

Zhao Yun was still as indifferent to fame and fortune: "How dare my subordinates disobey? At that time, Dian Wei and Youping could still succeed. The Changshi asked me to take action because he trusted me."

"That's good, have a good rest tonight and we're going to set off again tomorrow morning."
