Giving the deceased emperor a temple title and a posthumous title at the same time was a pioneering move for the court and made everyone very excited.
Creating a country and establishing a system will produce an indescribable sense of satisfaction, and participating in it will also give you a sense of honor.
After discussing Liu Bang's posthumous affairs, Lu Pheasant finally raised the issue he was most concerned about.
Luo Xin said solemnly: "A thousand years ago, King Su made the Zhou Rites when he saw that the other countries were rude, that they were not respectful enough when meeting the emperor, that there were no rules for using utensils, and that there were no etiquette among the countries.
When the princes saw the magnificent etiquette, they feared the emperor; when the minister saw the five-pod meal, he obeyed his lord.
From then on, the emperor, princes, ministers, officials, scholars, and common people all performed their duties.
Until the ceremony collapses and the music collapses.
Now the world belongs to the Han Dynasty, but the rights and responsibilities are so confusing.
The Queen Mother's orders went out of Chang'an City, but the local officials did not carry them out.
This is like Tai'a's inversion, the earth is higher than the sky, and the fire burns up the river, which is not tolerated.
There was a fight between the county governor and the county minister, and even a fight broke out.
How ridiculous it is for the county governor to call the prime minister a vassal officer, and for the county governor to call the county governor a subordinate.
The powers and responsibilities among officials are not clear, and a matter cannot be decided in a month. This is wrong.
The rules and regulations are imperfect and there are many lawbreakers, which should be rectified.
The etiquette system of the Han Dynasty lacks too much, and it urgently needs to be supplemented.
The Queen Mother's regency is to make the world clear and clear between superior and inferior. The emperor, princes, princes, ministers, officials and common people should all perform their duties and do their best.
You are all talented people and should speak freely. "
Although the Han Dynasty has been established for thirteen years, it is actually still in its infancy stage.
Liu Bang became emperor too quickly. The last few years of his life were mainly about cleaning up kings with different surnames. This should actually be counted in the process of founding the country.
After the last Wang Yingbu with a different surname left the country, the Han Dynasty was truly unified.
Then Liu Bang collapsed directly, and there was no time to formulate the system of the Han Dynasty.
The current Han Dynasty is a mixture of the official system of the Qin Dynasty and the Zhou Dynasty, including internal and external service and the Three Gongs and Nine Ministers.
Luo also brought the etiquette of the Zhou Dynasty.
Then the Han Dynasty combined the enfeoffment system with the prefecture and county system, and created a parallel system of prefectures and states.
The combination of so many systems, from the central government to the local governments, is in one word, chaos!
Lu Fei said loudly: "Everyone has heard clearly what Dong'ahou said. Fouhou and Liuhou, what do you think?"
After hearing this, Xiao He thought for a moment and said: "Queen Mother, I think that the first thing is to follow the rules and regulations. The current order is due to the lack of order.
Laws and decrees are all the rules in the world.
King Su made Zhou rites, which were etiquette in name but actually laws. If the princes abide by it, they would be safe. If the princes disobey it, they would be punished.
The princes treated the emperor respectfully, and the world became peaceful.
The late emperor's meritorious deeds were great. He destroyed the disobedient princes and established clans with the same surname. Now the court has strong troops and horses, which is enough to re-establish laws and regulations.
The laws of the Qin Dynasty were too strict, while those of the Han Dynasty were too lax. If they were too strict, the people would be angry, and if they were too lax, they would lose their respect.
Ask the Queen Mother to rule the country and stabilize the Han Dynasty! "
Xiao He's words are really reasonable. In fact, Xiao He had a good understanding of the laws and regulations of the Han Dynasty. He had served as a swordsman and pen official in the Qin Dynasty for many years and was very familiar with the Qin laws, so he wanted to use a loose version of the Qin Dynasty laws. Lu came to govern the Han Dynasty, but Luo Ling's practice of law completely shattered all his thoughts.
Although Luo Ling did not completely deny everything about the Qin Dynasty, Xiao He was an extremely shrewd person, and his ability to protect himself wisely was first-rate, so he simply stopped thinking about it.
In the past few years, I have gradually felt some direction from the rumors in Zhaocheng, and I know that I was too cautious before.
Lu Pheasant nodded and praised: "Laws and orders are the foundation of the country, and Xiao Xiangguo is worthy of being the talented king's assistant praised by Duke Zhao.
Dong Ahou, I just heard you say that your fifth brother knows three generations and is a great talent who can overcome laws, decrees, and rules and regulations.
Knowing that there are talented people but not recruiting them is not what a saint king should do.
Now that the world is unified and all belong to the Han Dynasty, I wonder if your son is willing to serve as an official to help me prosper in this tired world?
I have nothing, so I can only bestow it on the young master with a high official position. "
In a world of prosperity and decline, this is the great wish of Regent Lu Pheasant. She wants to prove her ability to the whole world. She wants to leave her name in the history books, just like Ji Lingjun, the ruler of the Luo Kingdom in the past.
My name is Lu Pheasant, and my courtesy name is E Huan. I am not a dispensable Lu family!
Looking at the high-spirited Lu Pheasant, all the ministers bowed their heads in admiration. This kind of temperament appeared in the Queen Mother, but the emperor sitting next to him did not have any such temperament.
Liu Bang was almost a hexagonal emperor. Whether it was war, governance, or managing people, there was nothing he was not good at.
Lu Pheasant also knew how to govern a country and govern people. As a result, the two of them gave birth to a son with such a kind personality.
He is neither like his father nor his mother, which is really strange.
Luo Xin said uprightly: "Back to the Queen Mother, my younger brother is naturally willing to serve as an official. He already has an idea in his mind. With the combined efforts of all the ministers, he will definitely be able to make laws for you that are in line with the world. It will never be as harsh as Qin's law. But It is enough to make the Han Dynasty prosper."
Hearing this, Lu Pheasant smiled and said, "Then I will make a decision after your son arrives in Chang'an and I have a conversation with him."
The selection of officials of the Qin and Han Dynasties is vividly displayed here. The prime minister personally recommended him. Today he is still wearing white clothes, but tomorrow he will be able to serve Zhu Peizi.
Originally, Lu Pheasant was planning to set down the general rules and regulations directly at this meeting, but with this matter, he could only postpone it until later.
Xiao He originally thought that he would be able to shine at the end of his life, but he did not expect that the Luo family would have such a legitimate son who was good at rules and books.
He couldn't help but shake his head helplessly. Luo Shi had too many classics and talents, so he was naturally much better than him in this aspect. Perhaps the manuscripts in his mind were full of leaks in front of the young master Luo Shi.
He continues to prepare for cooperation. He believes that his many years of experience at the grassroots level and his many years of experience in managing state affairs are still very useful.
It is enough for a person to be proud if he can achieve one great achievement in his life. Xiao He is already very satisfied with his life. After the Han Dynasty established the cauldron, when Liu Bang decided to select the heroes, Han Xin was first, Xiao He was second, and Luo Yi was third. This is Recognition of Xiao He.
He doesn't need to add any more achievements to prove himself. The only thing he wants to do now is to build a good relationship with Luo Shi so that he can speak well of himself in the history books in the future.
Xiao He has read "Luo Gong Chun Qiu", but he is very aware of the same thing. The praise and criticism in the history books are completely different. The historian can only guarantee the truth of the matter, but does not guarantee that there will be no personal emotions.
This matter was over for the time being, Luo Xin said: "Queen Mother, since ancient times, the Holy Kings have been making calendars. Since the birth of the Su Wang Calendar that the family worked hard to make, the rest of the calendars in the world have gradually been eliminated. However, after countless years of war, the world's calendars have been gradually eliminated. The calendar has long been inaccurate.
Without the guidance of the calendar, when to sow and when to harvest will be in chaos. The most urgent task now is to send envoys to all the counties in the world to adjust the calendar time. "
Lu Pheasant frowned slightly and said sadly: "Dong Ahou, of course the calendar is the top priority, but the project of adjusting the calendar is too huge.
After continuous wars, the treasury was now even empty. Recruiting a group of astronomers and numerologists cost a lot of money, and there was no output in a short period of time. The court really could not afford to maintain it. "
Astronomers are listed separately. This can be regarded as Luo's contribution to the prosperity of various schools of thought when he came to this world. There are also numerologists, who are also listed separately. They were all during the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods, and were personally certified by Luo. of.
In fact, there is also numerology in Confucianism, and it is one of the six arts of the gentleman. However, Luo has long discovered that the Confucian approach of simply treating numerology as an accessory to the gentleman will eventually destroy numeracy.
Because as the number of Confucian classics increases, those who want to become a great Confucian must learn more classics, and numerology will eventually be abandoned.
The governing theories of the four schools of Confucianism, Daoism, and Mohism are too rich in nature and are metaphysical thoughts, while numerology is a complete tool.
Those who work hard govern others, and those who work hard govern others. This is the truth.
Luo Xin immediately said: "Queen Mother, in the past when the Luo Kingdom was destroyed, the Luo family ran away and took away a lot of information.
The Suwang Calendar is really of great importance, even related to the welfare of all people, so Luo Shi has never given up on calculating and adjusting the Suwang Calendar in various places over the years.
You don't need to spend a lot of money to recalculate. There are ready-made numbers in Zhaocheng, and you only need to copy them to each county.
Within three months, whether it is Chang'an, Yan Kingdom, Liaodong, or Lingnan Kingdom, in all the Xia lands, Su Wangli will re-instruct all the people to farm.
You only need to write a letter to Zhaocheng. You have great ambitions to prosper the tired world. This is the character of the ancient sage kings. I believe that my elder brother will definitely be willing to give you those materials. "
Lu Pheasant's eyes lit up, with a look of joy, and he couldn't help but praise: "Luo family is truly worthy of being a descendant of King Su. Your family's virtue is as high as the sun in the sky, and your family's talents are so great. Just like the towering Mount Tai.
The great man cannot lack the assistance of the Luo family, and I cannot lack the assistance of the Luo family. When will we be able to recall the Yinghou from Korea?
With Sanluo assisting the government, and all the heroes in this palace, who are all momentary heroes, the Han Dynasty must be able to prosper. "
A court meeting ended in such a happy atmosphere, but everyone knew that the real storm would come after the Luo master came to Chang'an.
The fifth child of the Luo family received Luo Xin's letter, tidied up a little, and then left Luo Village and headed for Chang'an.
————
Empress Dowager Lu was a strange woman. Historians recorded her in this chronicle and praised her as having the appearance of a holy king.
In my opinion, I have praised him too much, and I have seen it as filial piety and benefit. Sanluo assists the government and follows the steps, and even a mediocre master can make achievements. ——"Miscellaneous Talks on Reading History"
The Han Dynasty system has begun. What kind of Sanyang cabinet? Look at me, the big Han Sanluo.
