In the second month of the first year of Qianyou's reign, the emperor visited the Chongyuan Hall of the Great Dynasty.
This was Liu Chengyou's first major court meeting since he ascended the throne. It was very grand and cautious. Liu Chengyou also paid special attention to it and made sufficient preparations in advance. He even made a cheat sheet to report the event.
At the beginning of Yin Dynasty, Liu Chengyou got up from the imperial couch, washed and ate, and used vegetarian porridge to fill his belly. The porridge was very dry. Changing the court robes, just putting on the gorgeous, complicated and heavy crown robes, took less than half an hour. At dawn, officials of the fifth rank and above in Tokyo marched in, officials and foreign envoys entered the palace in sequence. Liu Chengyou, escorted by Sergeant Konghe, took a carriage, passed the palace gate, and arrived in front of the palace. Under the eyes of all the ministers, he stood steadily Enter the palace, climb the royal steps, get on the golden throne, sit high and face south.
The pilgrimage was followed by a congratulatory speech read personally by the etiquette envoy Zhang Zhao. Then Liu Chengyou's surrender was read out: "I bow with my humble bow, and receive a great blessing. I am mindful of the importance of guarding the weapon, and I am worried about being in a poor position. The way of heaven is still difficult, the royal family has many reasons, and heaven has sent heavy cruelty. The state-owned There was a great mourning, and the bandits took advantage of the disaster and waited for an opportunity..."
This article basically describes the difficult situation and dangerous situation of the Han Dynasty after Liu Zhiyuan's death, and describes his worries and uneasiness about succeeding to the throne as a young master, walking on ice, and losing sleep. Looking back on the process of starting a business and building a country, I humbly mentioned his achievements in conquering Hebei and quelling the rebellion in Yedu. He also expressed his ambition to protect the fortune of the flood, maintain the unbreakable foundation, and make the world peaceful and safe forever. I hope that the ministers will assist the leader, the soldiers will serve their lives, and the top and bottom will work together to defend the country...
A few thousand words fully demonstrate Tao Gu's literary talent. Tao Gu wrote official documents like this with ease, smoothness, and extraordinariness.
Afterwards, the envoys came to report. Basically, only the envoys of Wu Yue and Ma Chu had not left yet, and the few barbarians who were brought here to make up the number could not be counted. At the court meeting, Liu Chengyou recognized the status of the two rulers, especially Qian Hongchu, who was elected to power due to the coup, and demoted him to the following levels: "Marshal of the Military and Horse Capital in the Southeast, Military Envoy of the Two Zhejiang Provinces, Grand Master of the Inspection School, and Zhongzhong Shu Ling, King Qian Hongchu of Wu and Yue, the marshal of all Taoist troops and horses, General Tiance, Hunan Jiedu Envoy, Grand Master of the School, Jian Zhongshu Ling, and Chu King Ma Xiguangjia guard the Zhongshu Ling."
Later, there were reports from the governors and envoys of various prefectures, reporting according to the narrative, mainly from the towns of Hedong, Chengde, Weibo, Zhenning, and Heyang, stating and reporting on the governance of local prefectures and counties, which was a happy event. Good things, no bad news at all, banditry has stopped, and the people are stable.
Many "miraculous" things happened and were reported together. There are mountains in Hengzhou with glowing lights that can be seen dozens of miles away; the Buddhist temple in Jinyang suddenly hears fairy sounds, as if the Buddha has come to the world; fishermen in Heyang catch a big fish, cut its belly open, and get the "Heavenly Book without Words"; Xijing Luo A sacred monument appeared on the water, with divine patterns engraved on it. It stood on the water for half an hour and fell; a white deer appeared on the outskirts of Beijing...
The above visions are understood by all sensible people, but if they are spread, they will be very effective for the ignorant people in the world.
After it came to an end, the drama of this great court meeting came. The new lord succeeded to the throne and made a book of rewards for the officials in Beijing, the imperial army and the Daozhou Jiedu in the world. There was a lot of content and it was very long. Two regular attendants took turns reading it aloud, and it took half an hour to finish.
The rewards of officials, as mentioned before, have not changed much. Official positions have been rotated many times, and some false titles have been added. The most important thing is to adjust the actual power positions in North Korea and China.
Yang Bin was moved to the position of Privy Council Secretary, Tongping Zhangshi, and Judge of the Ministry of Officials, and was completely "liberated" from the Privy Council; Wang Zhang remained as the Third Secretary of the Imperial Council, and was also appointed as the Inspector of Schools, and Tongping Zhangshi; Su Fengji was appointed as Left Servant She, the bachelor of Jixian Hall, Tongping Zhangshi, and the Ministry of Sentencing; Su Yugui was Youpu She, the undergraduate of Hongwen Hall, the Secretary of Tongping Zhangshi, and the Ministry of Sentencing; Dou Zhengu still served as the minister, Tongping Zhangshi, and Jia Sikong, judge of the ministry of work; Li Tao served as the minister of Zhongshu, Tongping Zhangshi, and the prefect of Jiachao; in addition, Feng Dao, the Grand Master of Qi and Duke of Qi, was appointed as Shangshu Ling and Tongping Zhangshi. Feng Dao, the old fox, was directly Liu Chengyou returned as prime minister and entered the political affairs hall to manage politics.
The appointment of the seven prime ministers has been officially decided. Except for Feng Dao's "intrusion" and the reduction of Yang Bin's authority, there have not been many changes. Of course, only Liu Chengyou knew in his heart that this was only temporary.
Guo Wei was promoted to Privy Council as Deputy Privy Envoy. This was Liu Chengyou's decision after much consideration. Wei Renpu was a bachelor of the Privy Council; Tao Gu was a member of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and a member of the Hanlin Academy; Fan Zhi was a member of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and a member of the Hanlin Academy; Fan Zhi was a member of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and a member of the Imperial Academy...
The rest will not be mentioned.
As for the guards and pro-military personnel in Tokyo, Liu Chengyou still couldn't resist taking action and made no big moves. Shi Hongzhao and Liu Xin were still the first and second leaders. The other senior generals all showed their kindness, but for Ma Quanyi, Han Tong, Xiang Xun, etc. All old departments have been promoted to actual positions.
Han Tongjia was appointed as the protector of the left wing, the Marquis of Yu, and Xiang Xun was appointed the Marquis of Yu, the capital of the East and West Bands, as well as the envoy of the imperial city. Ma Quanyi, as the earliest general who followed Liu Chengyou, if it were not for being too young, Liu Chengyou would have directly made him the commander of the Longqi Army. He was only twenty-two years old. In addition, Li Chongju, the head of Liu Chengyou's bodyguard, was appointed by him as the direct governor of the inner palace and went to command the troops. He was really not good at doing intelligence and spying. As for the intelligence team Liu Chengyou secretly formed, he has not yet considered who should be in charge, or even how to deal with it, and he is still hesitant.
Regarding the army, Liu Chengyou's biggest move was to hand over the three armies stationed in the imperial city: Konghe, Neidianzhi, and Sanyao to his uncle Li Hongjian. Although it has not been explicitly stated that it will break away from the control of the Guards Department, the boundaries have been drawn. Liu Chengyou, this is also paving the way for the establishment of the "Dianqian Division". The Tokyo Imperial Army will all be under the command of the Guard Division, which is really frightening.
Previously, although there were military positions such as front-of-house deployment and large-internal deployment, they basically had great names, weak powers under their jurisdiction, and there was no clearly independent yamen from the system and organization. Liu Chengyou, this is a small attempt.
Taking advantage of the opportunity under the favor to create the established fact, the generals of that generation, receiving Liu Chengyou's favor, even if they were unwilling to do so, they could only hold their noses and admit it for the time being.
As for all the festivals in the world, there are rewards, but under Liu Chengyou's will, there is a difference between high and low. Liu Chong from Hedong, Zhao Yanshou from Youzhou, Gao Xingzhou from Yedu, Fu Yanqing from Yanzhou, An Shenqi from Xiangzhou, Kuangyi from Jingyuan, and Li Yiyin from Xiazhou were given titles of envoys, prime ministers and meritorious officials, and were promoted to nobility. The rest were given false titles. , official positions such as Shizhong, Shilang, Sikong, Situ, etc., do not require money at all, and can be spent freely.
As for the late Wang Zhou, the military governor of Wuning, an additional duke was added, and Wu Xingde, the military governor of Heyang, moved to the town.
...
"Your Majesty, the Shi family cannot defend the country, so they established the Han Dynasty. Today, Qianyou is in power, but Yedu still belongs to Guangjin Mansion, and Jingzhao still has troops stationed in Jinchang. The so-called Guangjin and Jinchang are really out of date. Your Majesty, please change his name to promote the prosperity of the Han Dynasty!" Prime Minister Dou Zhengu asked in a loud voice.
The sun was shining brightly, illuminating the Chongyuan ceremony. The meeting had lasted for three hours, which was a big test for everyone in the palace.
The same goes for Liu Chengyou. Both mental and physical exertion are extremely high. He is sitting high on the throne and cannot move around. The crown robe on his body has become extremely heavy at this moment, and the slightly trembling twelve pearls are a bit dazzling.
After hearing the report, Liu Chengyou took a deep breath, refreshed himself, and said in a deep voice: "The imperial edict is to change Guangjin Prefecture into Daming Prefecture, and Jinchang Army into Yongxing Army!"
"yes!"
Naturally, this matter had already been settled with Liu Chengyou. Otherwise, Liu Chengyou's reaction would not have been so fast.
After Dou Zhengu finished playing, the officials played for almost an hour. The palace gradually became quiet, as if there was nothing to do anymore.
It could be seen that most of the officials present, especially the veterans, really couldn't bear it anymore and were trembling a little.
"Report!" "Just right!" At this moment, a general's loud report came from outside the hall.
"Your Majesty, King Fengxiang has summoned an envoy to report that he defeated the Shu army at Jifeng Mountain in Baoji, killing tens of thousands of enemies and capturing 3,000 people. The commander of the Shu army, Zhang Qianzhao, led his remnants to run into the mountains and forests. Our army took the opportunity to turn to attack. Dashan Pass has been captured!"
As soon as this report came out, the whole court was filled with joy. The already a little sluggish courtiers suddenly became energetic and all looked happy. Soon, a group of Confucian officials headed by Su Yugui began to praise Liu Chengyou.
In fact, a great victory is a shot in the arm for today's Han court, which has an extremely positive effect on consolidating its foundation, stabilizing people's hearts, and frightening the world.
Of course, in the same matter, Liu Chengyou also received the news one day in advance, suppressed it and kept it until today. Finally, he created such a "notification ceremony" to add another level of sanctity to Liu Chengyou.
