A crowd of people waited, knelt down and worshiped,
King Yong smiled and said: "The emperor is destined to be blessed by heaven. The edict says: Langlang Longyan, commanding all the barbarians, looking down on the world, and all nations coming to court. The Protectorate of the Western Regions has been abandoned for many years. I always have the heart to educate the world. Night It’s hard to sleep..."
"Today, Liu Zhoumu has sent troops to the Western Region to frighten Xiao Xiao and consolidate my dragon flames..."
"The soldiers of Yinzhou are on a journey of thousands of miles and are waiting for the day to come..."
A burst of praise is a necessary opening.
then.
The meat show is really here.
King Yong glanced at Liu Dahao: "Promote Liu Dahao to the third rank of Baron and the Marquis of Guanwai!"
Everyone was in an uproar.
Many people were excited.
Marquised!
Finally made a marquis!
And he is a serious feudal prince!
Regarding the titles of the Longyan Dynasty, we actually refer to the title system of the Cao Wei period. After all, the Xie family took the country from the Cao family.
The title system of Cao Wei divided the titles into nine levels: king, duke, marquis, uncle, son, male, county marquis, township marquis, and Guannei marquis. In addition to the ninth rank, Cao Cao created the title of Marquis, Marquis of Guanzhong, Marquis of Guanwai, and the five great officials were reserved as conferred titles. According to the Wei system, the prince is granted the title of king, the concubine of the king is granted the title of rural duke, the concubine of the heir is granted the title of rural marquis, and the concubine of the duke is granted the title of Tingbo...
Anyway.
Quite complicated.
However, under the continuation of the Longyan Dynasty for more than a thousand years, the Wei system still changed.
King, Duke and Bozinan still have mainstream titles and are true aristocrats. State Marquis, County Marquis, and Township Marquis were all granted to non-royal people of the opposite sex who had outstanding meritorious service.
then……
With the expansion of Longyan's territory, the dynasty slowly decayed, and the court had no time to take care of the Central Plains. Those below the county level, township level, Tingbo, etc., all became "honorary titles" with no title and no food. County candidates are better. If there are vacancies in a county, you can take office, but you have to wait...
A barren place like Liangzhou would have to wait.
In those more prosperous places in the Central Plains, many county officials will never be able to wait for a county to take office in their lifetime.
Therefore, gradually, titles below the county level can be purchased by donating money.
instead……
These titled princes, such as Guanneihou, Guanwaihou, Guanzhonghou, etc., have become more valuable. Because these titles are given to those who have outstanding merits and generals who have unified the army to guard one side.
Needless to say, there is no need to mention the famous Guannei Hou in history.
A Liu Bang.
A Wei Qing.
Liu Bang's Guannei Marquis was granted to him by Qin II in order to allow Liu Bang to fight for him and suppress the peasant uprising.
Wei Qing is naturally like this.
Over time, the title lord became the representative of the true pinnacle of power.
So.
I guess someone is going to ask.
These suffixes all belong to Hou Houhou, so in the end, is he the Marquis of Gonghou Bozi Men's School?
of course not.
This "hou" means princes!
Regardless of whether they are dukes, uncles, princes, county princes, or rural princes, they all belong to the category of princes. This suffix has nothing to do with the title, so don't get confused.
so.
No matter Liu Dahao's previous county princes or state princes, they were all out of the ordinary. Only this Guanwaihou and the third-class baron showed that he had really become a prince!
Really become a noble!
You can really enter the house!
Liu Dahao cried with joy: "Thank you, Lord, for your kindness. Thank you, Lord, for your kindness. Liu Dahao will live up to His Majesty's expectations and guard the Western Regions for His Majesty!"
King Yong smiled and said: "Congratulations to Liu Zhoumu!"
Everyone also stood up to congratulate him.
This time, Jiang Xuan, who was standing next to him, refused to give in: "No, King Yong, that's it?"
He was so angry: "We want to rebuild the Western Region Protectorate. So many soldiers have died, and this is it? Where is my young master? Where is Brother Qin? Where is me?"
As soon as these words came out.
Others were also filled with indignation.
Although he didn't say it, the atmosphere was obviously not right. An army of 150,000 soldiers went on an expedition to the Western Regions. They died and were injured. But in the end, you only rewarded Liu Dahao? Of course, as Liu Dahao is the governor of the Western Regions, it is normal for him to be rewarded.
But what about these generals and soldiers?
Don’t they need to appreciate their merits?
"Jiang Xuan, don't be rude!"
Liu Zheng glared at him.
King Yong smiled and said nothing.
Liu Zheng was on the side, dumbfounded.
what is this?
Give a candy and then hit it with a mallet?
Is this old emperor complaining that his appetite is too big?
Liu Zheng suddenly felt that the old emperor's character was actually a bit cute. This time, the discussion and appreciation of merit is like a child having a tantrum...
You, Liu Zhizhou, are taking advantage of me?
I must also get it back!
This is Xie Tianyao's character.
Liu Zheng suddenly had a feeling that this old emperor must not die so early, otherwise there would really be one less interesting person in the world.
He smiled and said: "Be patient and be patient. I can make my father truly enter the aristocratic class. He is already a holy family member. How can we dare to think too much? Our Western Region Protectorate will also give everyone a review of their merits. Don't worry. !”
As soon as these words came out.
The hearts of the soldiers finally calmed down.
Who charges into battle, not for merit? Not to get ahead?
"Young Master is mighty!"
"Young Master is so generous!"
Everyone agreed with a roar, and the atmosphere was high.
King Yong looked on and sighed slightly in his heart. He also knows that the Holy Emperor only awards Liu Dahao to Liu Dahao, and it is for the world-famous Liu Zhizhou. However, is this approach really appropriate? This is the Western Region. Isn't he pushing his sharp military spirit to Liu Zheng's side?
King Yong personally led a team to see off the 200,000 prisoners and craftsmen, and Liu Zheng naturally had to entertain them well, playing and singing every night.
In fact, Liu Zheng also wants to know the current domestic situation.
It has been more than two months since he came out...
What will be the attitude of all the forces in the Longyan Dynasty?
After a few glasses of wine, King Yong laughed and said: "King of Shu and King of Wei, I will send you 20,000 craftsmen each. Liu Zhizhou, from now on we will be one family!"
Liu Zheng smiled and said nothing.
Aristocratic class?
It seems that this noble class is still determined to win over him.
Naturally, he cannot express his position too early.
King Yong paused and said, "It's just that, Liu Zhizhou, I'm not underestimating your ability. It's just that among these 200,000 people, there are fully 150,000, and all of them are prisoners!"
He took a deep breath: "The Yinzhou Army only has 100,000 people, and the commander is 150,000 people. This..."
He was a little worried.
Liu Zheng cannot suppress these people.
You know, everyone who comes out of Ninggu Pagoda is a ferocious, cunning and wild person. These people have just escaped from prison and come to the Western Region...
In their hearts, how could they succumb to a young boy like Liu Zheng?
Liu Zheng smiled and said: "What suggestions does King Yong have?"
King Yong took a sip of wine and laughed loudly: "Liu Zhizhou came to ask me, in this case, isn't it just the same old method? Select talents from among them and promise to be a high official and a generous salary!"
"Kill one to serve as a warning to others, and control them with iron blood!"
Everyone nodded after hearing this.
This has been the case since ancient times.
Liu Zheng smiled and shook his head: "I don't plan to do that!"
Everyone looked surprised.
