The audience ceremony was held very smoothly. When Liu Xiehe voted for the so-called loyal ministers of the Han Dynasty when he saw Li Qingyuan was willing to kneel down and bow down, he immediately felt that this person should not be the kind of domineering person.

It was the rule of the Qing Dynasty to kowtow when you see a high-ranking official, in order to tame people's slavery.

But the ritual of kneeling and worship existed even during the Shang and Zhou dynasties!

Whenever a large-scale ceremony is held, everyone will perform a kneeling ceremony.

When I first met the emperor, I was naturally here.

When Dong Zhuo led the Western Liang army to Beijing, he found the carriage of the Han Shao Emperor Liu Bian on the road. Even with Dong Zhuo's arrogance, he had to kneel down on the roadside under the scolding of King Liu Xie of Chenliu.

You should know that at that time, Liu Xie was just ten years old, and Dong Zhuo was also the best-selling demon king in the world. As a result, he had to surrender and salute, let alone others?

Of course, unlike the slave courts like the Qing Dynasty, except for this first meeting and the annual ceremony of worship for heaven, civil and military officials did not have to kneel down when they saw the emperor, they just had to bend down.

Because Li Qingyuan gave face, the small court was quite powerful. He directly appointed him as Duke of Tang, General, and recorded the affairs of the Secretariat. At the same time, he gave him three privileges: praise and worship, not being named, not going to the court, and going to the palace with swords and shoes.

The General was the largest military title in the Eastern Han Dynasty. Li Qingyuan, who owned this name, could now directly conquer all parties in his own name.

Although Yuan Shao was also known as the general, that general was self-proclaimed. However, Yuan Shao was once known as the No. 1 prince in the world, and their Yuan family was strong, so no one dared to find fault in this regard.

But in the future!

Haha, let’s talk about what’s going on in the future!

Recording the Secretary of the Shangshu is a false position, which represents that Li Qingyuan can make suggestions on the appointment and removal of civil and military officials in the future, and is regarded as the nominal Secretary of the Ministry of Personnel.

However, this kind of rights is restricted, because the Situ Shi Sun Duan, among the Three Dukes, is the one who is truly responsible for personnel affairs.

The three items of praise and worship are not named, entering the court without going to the court, and entering the palace are considered standard for powerful ministers or auxiliary ministers, just like the honor of riding a horse or sitting in a sedan chair in the Forbidden City in the future. It means that no matter when Li Qingyuan will not have to salute anyone when he sees anyone. At the same time, even in the palace, he can come and go freely.

Of course, these are all agreed first. If you have a formal appointment, you will have to wait until the dynasty meeting will come in five days.

After all, this is a big deal, so you won’t act hastily in the middle of the night, right? At least you must first pacify the inside and outside of Chang'an City, and at the same time announce the world before the ceremony can be held.

So Li Qingyuan had a while of greeting with the little emperor and the three dukes and nine courtesys before leaving. Although he wanted to throw a few missiles directly to blow all of these guys to death, considering the people's desires of this era, he had to resist this idea.

Even though he had decided to kill the little emperor and overthrow the old Liu family from the beginning, human beings must be a social creature, and no one could truly do whatever they wanted.

Not to mention these stubborn loyal ministers of the Han Dynasty, even under his command, there are many people who can't make a fool of themselves.

There is no need to say much about the pure ministers of the Han Dynasty like Xun Yu. If he really killed the little emperor and directly proclaimed himself emperor, even ministers like Zhao Yun and Taishi Ci would have objected.

"Wenhe!"

Walking on the way out of the palace, Li Qingyuan said to Jia Xu, who was sharing the same car with him.

"I'm here!"

Jia Xu has no ideological and moral concepts. Although the young emperor Liu Xie is nominally the common ruler of the world, who actually takes him seriously in fact the major princes who really hold military power?

In fact, Liu Xie's ability is already considered good among the emperors of all dynasties. If he was born in the Taiping period, he might be able to become a wise king.

But in this world of great struggle?

Liu Xie's ability is really not enough to see.

"Your current position is Doctor Ling, right?"

As the biggest contributor to contact Li Qingyuan to get rid of the two thieves, Jia Xu naturally received a reward from the court, and was promoted from the original Guanglu Dafu to the position of the rank of the ruling of the nine ministers.

The main responsibility of the Doctor's Order is to be responsible for the imperial city and the gates of the capital. Some are similar to the Nine Gate Admirals of the Qing Dynasty in later generations. They can be said to be definitely an important hub for controlling the inside and outside the capital.

The two doctors, Ling and Wei Wei, can be said to have completely controlled the defense inside and outside the capital, so as long as these two positions are controlled in their hands, it is equivalent to strangling the lifeline of the small court.

In the past, these two positions were occupied by Li Jue and Guo Si's direct relatives. This time, Jia Xu used a trick to get rid of the two, so these two positions were naturally empty.

"I am a doctor's order, just a transition, and I'll probably be promoted to a regular in a few days!"

Although the nine ministers have the same rank, they are divided into the highest levels. The bureaucrat who is responsible for sacrifices and etiquette is the leader of the nine ministers.

Before the Yuan and Ming dynasties, the etiquette was the greatest. When the Tang Dynasty opened the three provinces and six ministries, the Minister of Rites was the leader of the six ministries.

By the time the Minister of History became the leader of the six ministries, it was already the Ming Dynasty!

"Is there anyone in the court who chose the new doctor Ling and Wei Wei?"

"The father-in-law Fu Wan may replace Wenhe as the position of doctor Ling. Dong Meiren's father Dong Cheng should be the Weiwei!"

Liu Xie just held a wedding ceremony a few years ago. As the emperor, it is impossible to marry only one wedding, but he also took a queen and two beauties at the same time.

Fu Wan is the father of Queen Fu Shou, while Dong Cheng is Dong Meiren's father.

As for another beauty?

It is said that it was Guo Si's daughter, who had died in the conflict a few days ago!

I have to say that those who do big things these days are ruthless people. Even a puppet emperor like Liu Xie, who looks harmless, is definitely not as cowardly as he expresses it.

"The dictatorship of relatives in foreign countries is the usual bad style of our Han Dynasty. How can these two people take on this responsibility as relatives in foreign countries?"

Li Qingyuan scolded disdainfully.

"These two were introduced by the court to cover up their goals. General Huangfu has sent people to rush to find the two elders, Zhao Wen and Zhu Jun. In the dynasty meeting in five days, they will definitely recommend Fu Wan and Dong Cheng first. When you oppose the general, you will carry the two elders out."

Huangfu Song, Zhu Jun and Lu Zhi were called the three heroes of the late Han Dynasty. If it weren't for the fact that these three guys had never changed their minds from conservative bureaucrats in the court to separatist warlords, with their strength and prestige, there would be nothing like Dong Zhuo and Cao Cao!

With Zhu Ye's prestige and qualifications, not to mention a mere nine ministers, even three ministers can do it.

The same is true for Zhao Wen. That guy served as Situ when he was the Emperor of Ling. Later, when he was the deposed young emperor, he had a conflict with Dong Zhuo and chased Dong Zhuo in the Golden Palace for several times before being taken out by Lu Bu.

But even Dong Zhuo, who was killing people indiscriminately, dared not attack Zhao Wen, so he could only send someone to drive him out of Luoyang.

So if these two old guys receive orders to return to Chang'an, then no one is qualified to compete with them in the positions of Wei Wei and Langzhong Ling.
