Zhang Xi finally signed Zhuge Liang's joint memorial.
After that, Zhang Xi returned to Jiangling and continued to be busy rebuilding Jiangling and teaching Xiao Yanghu.
And in Chengdu
At the Zhengdan court meeting in the ninth year of Jianxing's reign, Zhuge Liang formally petitioned the emperor to move the capital to Chang'an.
If nothing else, just take a look at the names that were jointly presented in the memorial. Each of them is a famous general. So many people jointly petitioned the emperor to move the capital. Those who are a little less courageous will not even dare to raise an objection. Issued to.
Not to mention, one step earlier than Zhuge Liang's memorial, one of Zhang Fei's last words was also the last words of the cavalry general who cried "third uncle" during the funeral of the Han emperor who asked the emperor to move the capital to Chang'an. Dare you not take it seriously? !
Anyway, Liu Chan almost nodded and agreed.
But since some people are in favor, there will naturally be people who are against Qin Mi, the Minister of Rites, who went to court despite being ill and personally took action to oppose Zhuge Liang's proposal to move the capital.
The reason is: it is not in line with etiquette.
The capital of a country is the foundation of the country. Once it is established, it cannot be easily determined.
Qiao Zhou, the minister of the Ministry of Rites, also stood up and talked about the matter with the fatalism of celestial phenomena.
It is said that the Han Dynasty is now growing in prestige and ZTE is expected to be revived. It can be seen that Chengdu is the capital of destiny.
The former Han Dynasty established its capital in Chang'an, but later Wang Mang usurped power. This was not because the Han Dynasty had insufficient luck, but because Chang'an's luck had ended and it was not enough to become the imperial capital, so it was in turmoil.
The capital of the Later Han Dynasty was Luoyang, which was inherited for more than two hundred years. Cao Pi usurped power again, which showed that Luoyang was no longer lucky enough to become the imperial capital.
Fortunately, Emperor Zhaolie inherited the Han Dynasty and established its capital in Chengdu. The Han Dynasty is now prosperous, and there is hope for the revival of the Northern Expedition. It can be seen that the Emperor of Chengdu has strong luck, and it is the best imperial capital. If he moves back to Chang'an and Luoyang, and has another setback, wouldn't all the previous efforts be wasted? !
This set of fallacies and heresies are not based on practical matters at all. It talks about some mysterious and mysterious metaphysics that may seem reasonable, but in front of people like Zhuge Liang, it is completely worthless.
Isn't it just sitting down and discussing mysteries? Do you think Zhuge Liang can't do it? !
Zhuge Liang doesn't talk about metaphysics, but it doesn't mean that he doesn't know how to do it. Just because Qiao Zhou's level of metaphysics is not good enough, his teacher Yin Molai is about the same.
Therefore, Zhuge Liang made Qiao Zhou speechless on the spot in the court hall.
Then, this matter of moving the capital is almost here, and it can be considered passed.
Of course, when it comes to the Zhengdan Dynasty meeting, the matter of moving the capital is just a formality. Who supports and who opposes is all acting. The real exchange of interests has been discussed long before this. .
After that, there is the issue of realizing some benefit exchanges.
Li Yan got his wish and took over the Shangshutai and served as Shangshuling, but he had an additional deputy named Dong Yun.
As for the Zhongshu Province, Zhuge Liang also officially resigned from the part-time Zhongshu Ling, and was replaced by Yang Bing.
But everyone understands that Yang Bing lacks ability and prestige, and is just a mascot. It is just Zhuge Liang fulfilling his promise to the Hongnong Yang family. The person who is really responsible for the administration of Zhongshu Province is the new Zhongshu Minister Jiang Wan.
Qiao Zhou, who was criticized by Zhuge Liang for being speechless at the Zhengdan court meeting, was not abandoned by Zhuge Liang in the end. Instead, he continued to serve as the governor of Yizhou after the new division, while Ma Zhong was promoted from the position of governor of Gaojiang. He was directly promoted to the newly established governor of Yunzhou.
After this exchange of interests ended, the people of Yizhou and Dongzhou, although still somewhat dissatisfied, finally no longer opposed the move of the capital.
It's just a matter of moving the capital. It involves too many aspects, so that's not to say that it's just a matter of accommodation.
To this end, Zhuge Liang's idea was to use a year to make various preparations, straighten out various relationships, and move some minor administrative departments to Chang'an first, while the main administrative departments remained in Chengdu.
Finally, next year, choose a good and auspicious day to change the Yuan Dynasty and move the capital in one go.
For this reason, Zhuge Liang had to stay in Chengdu, while Wei Yan was responsible for the defense in Luoyang.
In order to enable Wei Yan to better perform his duties and avoid being unfairly named, Zhuge Liang went to the court to request that Wei Yan be granted the title of Sili Xiaowei.
This position originally belonged to Zhang Fei. Now that Zhang Fei has died, the Sili school captain is vacant and it is given to Wei Yan, who is allowed to guard Sili Heluo. It is justifiable.
By the way, as for the meritorious personnel in the Jiangling Defense Battle and Luoyang Defense Battle, those who deserve awards must also be punished.
For example, because of his outstanding performance in the Battle of Jiangling, Shi Bao was directly promoted from General Dang Kou to General Right. At the same time, Zhang Xi personally petitioned him to become a marquis. After some thought and consultation with Zhuge Liang, Liu Chan decided Still, Shi Bao was granted the title of Marquis of Lexiang.
There is one thing to say, just because of Shi Bao's reputation, Liu Chan even expressed his disdain for Shi Bao after a while of envy and hatred.
Just a womanizer.
In fact, Liu Chan did not want to agree to this title, but Shi Bao's contribution this time was indeed great. It can be said that Shi Bao had at least half of the credit for Jiangling being able to defend it.
Another thing is that Zhang Xi, the Mu of Jingzhou, personally submitted the memorial to the feudal lord. In this case, Liu Chan had to think about it carefully.
As for asking Zhuge Liang for advice, Zhuge Liang told Liu Chan that although Shi Bao had a bad reputation, his lust was just a matter of personal style, not a moral problem. You could dislike him, but you couldn't ignore his merits.
As the emperor, Liu Chan must not only learn to use people of high moral character, but also learn to tolerate those who have some minor problems but have indeed made merit, so as not to disappoint the talents of the world.
Didn't Emperor Xiaowu of the former Han Dynasty also have Dongfang Shuo? If he used it well, it would also be of great use.
For this reason, Liu Chan decided to grant Shi Bao the title of Marquis of the Countryside. He also explained in the edict that Shi Bao was granted the title of Marquis because of his great contributions. At the same time, he also advised Shi Bao to cultivate his character and pay attention to his own moral character. Recuperate, correct your shortcomings, and learn from the sages in the world.
It was somewhat unpleasant for Shi Bao to receive this edict, but in any case, being granted the title of Marquis was Shi Bao's biggest wish.
After all, in this era, the title of a marquis was already the highest in the era. From the Han Dynasty to the Three Kingdoms period, except for a few people such as Wang Mang and Cao Cao, the marquis was the pinnacle of the nobility.
Especially according to Ji Han's current feudal feudal system, Shi Bao was granted the title of rural marquis, the second highest among marquises, second only to county marquis, which was already a quite high title.
There are rewards, but of course there are also punishments. The unlucky Wu Yi was directly demoted from a general to a rebel general. He also worked part-time as the Hanzhong prefect, but this Hanzhong prefect also changed from his official position to acting, and became the acting Hanzhong prefect. Prefect.
There was no way, Wu Yi's battle in Yingchuan was indeed too terrible to watch. He was completely led by Sima Yi, and finally made Sima Yi famous.
Not only did his own Hanzhong County soldiers suffer heavy losses, but also the losses of the Wudang Fei Army and the Da Hannan Army, two elite units closely related to the royal family, someone must be responsible for the losses, right? !
Therefore, even though Wu Yi's sister is the concubine of the current dynasty and will be punished if she violates the rules, this is still a consensus in the Han Dynasty today.
As for the supreme commander of the two wars, Zhuge Liang was already the prime minister. He was the first person under the emperor and could not be promoted again.
Therefore, Liu Chan deliberately wanted to give Zhuge Liang a knighthood.
As for Zhuge Liang, in fact, in the first year of Jianxing, when Liu Chan ascended the throne, he was already named Marquis of Wuxiang by Liu Chan.
However, according to the Eastern Han Dynasty's hierarchy of marquises, Zhuge Liang's Wuxiang Marquis was the second-level rural marquis, not the highest-level county marquis, which was somewhat embarrassing.
After all, this is the prime minister who takes charge of the affairs of the emperor under the emperor. It is unreasonable to say that his title is only a rural prince.
Zhang Xi's former general, Jingzhou Mu, had his Bolu Marquis personally created by Liu Bei, but he became the highest county marquis from the moment he came up.
Zhuge Liang's title is lower than Zhang Xi's, so it doesn't make sense.
Therefore, Liu Chan thought of taking this opportunity to give his father-in-law a title.
But Zhuge Liang refused.
First, he taught Liu Chan that titles should not be granted lightly, and then he expressed his position that after the Han Dynasty was restored, he hoped that Liu Chan would ennoble him as Marquis of Langya, which was Zhuge Liang's ancestral home.
In this way, Zhuge Liang declined Liu Chan's reward.
However, turning around, Zhuge Liang suggested to Liu Chan whether Zhang Xi's official position should be mentioned.
It doesn’t make sense that the dignified Minister Tuogu, the Marquis of Bolu, and the Mu of Jingzhou are still the former generals of the Quartet.
Today's Sifang generals are incomparable to those before.
In the past, the Quartet General was the highest general after the four permanent generals.
However, as military positions have been influenced by Cao Wei in recent years, temporary military positions such as the Four Expeditions and Four Towns have slowly begun to become permanent military positions, and their status has become higher and higher, vaguely surpassing the generals of the four directions. It is somewhat inappropriate for Zhang Xi to continue to be a general of the four directions.
For example, Chen Dao is the general who conquers the east, Wei Yan is the general who conquers the west, and Deng Ai is the general who conquers the north. If you look back at the four generals, even Shi Bao is a rear general, and Zhang Xi is only half a level higher than Shi Bao. , somewhat inappropriate, right? !
So the person who really deserves to be promoted to a higher level should be Zhang Xi.
Liu Chan suddenly understood, and after thinking carefully, he waved his hand and appointed Zhang Xi as the Hussars General.
Well, among the four permanent generals, Liu Chan does not plan to appoint the generals and cavalry generals for the time being. After all, they belong to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei when they are not necessary. Liu Chan does not want to appoint anyone else to this position for the time being.
As for the hussar general Ma Chao? ! Who? ! Are you familiar? !
Well, that’s it! ! !
