Chapter six hundred and forty second court battle
The day after ascending the throne, Liu He and his family moved to the palace. Although Zhang Tong and his wife were named Marquis of Mingliu Township, they were unwilling to go to their fiefdoms to live, so they took a false title and stayed in Luoyang.
For this reason, Liu He chose a quiet palace next to the Empress Dowager's bedroom of Xu's family, and took the two elders into the palace and gave them the convenience of free entry and exiting the palace. The two elders were very happy.
When he first ascended the Great Bao, everything was complicated. Liu He was so busy that he worked with Xun Yu and others every day, dealing with government affairs until midnight, and sometimes even going to bed until the early morning.
After finally settled down a little, the first grand dynasty meeting after the new king ascended the throne was started.
Liu He knew very well that the three dukes submitted a letter at the same time and asked for the grand dynasty meeting. There was no other purpose, just to finalize the recommendation list prepared early so that the 100 or dozens of children from various families could take office immediately.
After the reunification of the king, although Liu He was dissatisfied with this, he really needed a large number of officials to stabilize the place for himself. Otherwise, if he continued to "govern inaction" like this, many counties would probably have to be substantially out of the control of the court.
Secondly, these ministers and families have supported themselves a lot from the first day they entered Luoyang, and they should also give them a reward.
What's more, those people have the same character, and they can't examine them one by one. They can only wait for them to take office to see their achievements and reputation and make plans. Moreover, Liu He did not want to give benefits to the ministers in vain, and he began to stir up his own little selves in his heart.
Under this kind of thought, Liu He officially sat on the imperial throne in the palace hall for the first time.
"The court meeting began, and the ministers took off their boots and entered the temple!"
After Gong Saner's sharp shout, the ministers walked in one by one, standing on both sides according to the differences between civil and military affairs.
"I'm going to see Your Majesty!"
"All my beloveds are calm."
As soon as Liu He finished speaking, Yang Biao took the lead in standing up.
"Report to Your Majesty, a few months ago, when Your Majesty was the general, he ordered me and others to recommend talents in the Jinyang Palace to serve as the shortage of duty in various places in the court. Now Your Majesty ascended the throne, it is a festive time. I hereby hand over the list and ask Your Majesty to read it."
Liu He waved his hand, Gong Saner trotted over, took the list, and handed it to Liu He.
It has been several months since this list was drafted, and Liu He had read it more than once. Except for Wang Tong, most of the rest he did not know. If you want to talk about the problem, of course he would not be able to pick it out.
"The loyalty of all the ministers is a great achievement. Since the support of my family to enter Luoyang, I have made many achievements, so how can I repay you. Now, from small officials to two thousand stone prefects, there are many vacancies. I see that the recommended people on this list are mostly county magistrates, county magistrates, county chiefs and historians, and most of them are minor positions. I think that all my dear friends are wise men, clan nephews, or students of the clan, and naturally there are many talented men. Now when the court employs people, we should ignore the rules and regulations. If there are talented people, we can promote them in an extraordinary way. Even if we are directly appointed as prefect, what's the harm? After you reconsider, you don't have to wait for the court meeting and send them directly to the palace, and I will check it immediately."
The ministers all showed joy.
"I thank Your Majesty for your kindness and wish to use the power of the whole clan to repay Your Majesty to die!"
The prefect of a county was a high-ranking official of two thousand stones, and was a real local official of power. Many princes also raised their troops from the prefect in their early years, such as Yuan Shao, the prefect of Bohai, Yuan Shu, the prefect of Nanyang, Sun Jian, the prefect of Changsha, Gongsun Zan, etc. They recommended talents to serve as officials. They originally had to start with minor officials such as county magistrates. Even if they had great talents and were famous, they could only become county magistrates, or a county magistrate like a county magistrate, and they would directly serve as prefects as soon as they took office. Such a beautiful thing is not something that can be encountered often.
Although the ministers had expected this, they still felt relieved when they heard Liu He say it in person.
Liu He took all their expressions and sighed slightly in his heart: "It is not easy to be an emperor. However, you have to eat this benefit. Humph, it's time for me to collect something. You can't refuse it, right?"
"I have a few people, but I have followed me in the early years. Now I have mostly served in Bingzhou. I have always made great achievements and performed well. Now I am about to discuss with the ministers to promote them."
The ministers had just gained the benefits of Liu He, so they naturally knew the principle of "reciting etiquette and exchange".
"Your Majesty is surrounded by talent and I am always admired by you. Your Majesty's praise must be true and both virtue and talent."
Liu He was also very satisfied with their attitude and said, "I am interested in conferring the general of Xiaoqin Guan Yu as General Zhenbei. General Fenwei Cheng Liang as General Zhennan. General Zhechong Zhang Yong as General Zhendong. General Huben Zhu Ye as General Zhenxi. General Tanggu Gao Shun as General Zhengnan. General Yangwei Ye Xiang as General Yingxi. General Zhang Liao, Zhao Yun, Xu Huang and other generals also have their own titles."
Although these people had already been granted a title once after defeating Yuan Shao, their new king ascended the throne and always rewarded the soldiers who were conquering the world together. Otherwise, the soldiers felt that they had become emperors and all the benefits were given to the ministers in the court, but they were neglected to them. Wouldn't it be a heartbreaking heart?
The ministers also understood this section, not to mention that these people made great contributions and could not find any reason to object, so they all agreed.
However, when Gong Saner took out a roll of cloth and recited a series of names, the faces of many ministers gradually became serious.
"Xun Yu is appointed as the Secretary of the Shangshu, Xun You is the Chief Censor, Cui Jun is the Chief Censor of the Sili School, Meng Jian is the Yin of Henan, Shi Tao is the Right Fufeng, and Qian Li is the Left Fengyi."
"The former General's Office was a Zhonglang, that is, Cui Jun and Cui Fuping, the brother of Cuizhou Ping, was appointed as the prefect of Wei County, Jizhou, and Xun Chen, the prefect of Yunhai County. His position remained unchanged and he was also the governor of Bingzhou."
"Zhang Long and Su Mao were the sons of the two families who were in Langdiao County and contributed greatly to me. They have worked diligently and managed the local area for more than ten years and have achieved great success. Now they are moved to Julu Prefect and Changshan Prefect. Huo Zixi, Huo Qing, when I first arrived in Yanmen, I was recommended by Yanmen Prefect and served as the prefect of Yanmen Prefect. I served as the prefect of Bingzhou County. I worked hard and made great contributions and moved to Taiyuan Prefect."
"Zhan Lian was promoted to the Grand Secretary of the Ministry of Agriculture, in charge of farming and farming, and was fully responsible for the military farming of the imperial army."
"The former prefect of Hanoi and the eldest son of the Zhao clan of Shangdang, Zhao Jin, also followed the imperial guards for nearly ten years. The entire clan was killed by Lu Bu and Zhang Yang, and only a few people were left. I want to add the title of Marquis of Gongchangting and give his father Zhao Yu the Marquis of Jijinting."
In addition, including Zhao Chang, who tames the beast, Moda, who grazes Zhao Kui, Wu Qin, the county magistrate who resisted Gaolan in Yanmen Lucheng, Du Xian, the commander of Taiyuan County who resisted Zhang Yan's sneak attack outside Jinyang City, and more than a dozen people who had been through life and death with Liu He for several years, were all promoted and commended.
The most important thing is that the positions or places occupied by these people, without exception, are all important places in the central and central places of the imperial court or places of prosperity.
For example, although the Shangshu Ling was not of high rank, he was nominally a subordinate of the young ministers, but since the time of the previous dynasty, he had already been in power with the prime minister. Now, this official position has been almost never been established in the court for decades, and there are many three dukes who have recorded the Shangshu together.
Not to mention the Chief Censor, the Censor General, who supervises the governors from all over the country, investigates the imperial censors in the court, collects memorials from hundreds of officials, and supervises the court officials. He has a high position and a powerful position. He has not set up the court for decades. Even if it is occasionally set up, he is mostly a friend that the officials know themselves. Now that a confidant minister of the emperor has come, it is really a bit bad.
As for the Sili School Captain, the former two are called "three sittings" in the court. When the court meeting, the three people had separate seats and did not sit with all officials. Although the rank was only 2,000 stones, which was one rank lower than the rank of the nine ministers, the Sili School Captain held some military power, was in charge of the public security of various places in Sili, and also had the power to supervise the local officials of Sili.
Like the three dukes, all these three important ministers had the power to go straight to the palace to report to Your Majesty. In addition to the right Fufeng, the left Fengyi, the Henan Yin, and the prefect of the Hanoi, except that the Jingzhao Yin was the current minister, all the political, military power and the central key points of the court in the Sili area were controlled by Liu He.
The Bingzhou capital Taiyuan County and the Jizhou capital Wei County were also Liu He's confidants.
The ministers seemed to realize that they were not the only ones who had prepared for this court meeting today.
"Your Majesty, I have something to report."
A minister stood up, Liu He looked at it, it was Jingzhao Yin Du Ji, and he smiled in his heart: "I knew you would have something to say."
He said seriously: "Your dear is a matter, but it's okay."
