Lu Xuan worshiped the Queen of Heaven in the southern suburbs of Nanjing, which meant the true and complete end of the Han Dynasty. Even the last name was lost and disappeared in the long river of history.
The world is the world of Ming Dynasty from now on.
The world has entered the first year of Shenwu.
After Lu Xuan's sacrifice was over, he returned to the court and began to reward hundreds of officials. Taking this opportunity, Lu Xuan re-drafted the titles of the Ming Dynasty. The lowest titles still use the three basic titles of Tinghou, Xianghou and County Marquis.
In terms of county princes, Lu Xuan abolished the titles of liehou and ten thousand households and replaced them with county princes, county princes, national princes, county princes and princes.
Lu Xuan's purpose was to expand the scope of the title.
Only by expanding the title can the space for Lu Xuan's rewards be increased. This time Lu Xuan rewarded hundreds of officials, and it was not just to reward the Duke and the County King at once. There was no such thing, and the biggest reward was only the County Duke.
Even the county officials only had two people, the civil official Zhang Zhao and the military general Zhou Yu.
Cao Cao's King of Qin, that was special treatment.
Zhang Zhao was granted the title of Duke of Pengcheng County, and Zhou Yu became the Duke of Chaisang County. In addition to two people, Kuai Liang, Pang Tong, Jia Xu, Xu Shu, Kuai Yue, Tai Shi Ci, Xu Chu, Zhang Liao, Gan Ning, etc. were granted the title of county princes, such as Guan Yu, Zhao Yun, Zhang Ren, Yan Yan, Zhou Tai, Jiang Qin, Zhang Xiu and others were Xianghou, and Zhuge Jin, Zhuge Liang, Yang Xiu, Bu Zhi and others at the next level were Tinghou.
All civil and military officials under Lu Xuan's command were rewarded.
However, the reward is not much.
Such a reward was deliberately done by Lu Xuan.
If the imperial title is to be valuable, it must be suppressed. If you choose large-scale wholesale, anyone can be a duke or a prince, and the reward system will collapse, which means that the title is just a piece of cabbage and no one will care.
Lu Xuan's setting is that you can't just get the county prince, the county prince, or the country prince.
Only in this way will people flock to the titles of Duke and County Prince. Whoever makes extraordinary achievements in the future, or Lu Xuan wants to reward officials, only the space left by these can make people feel satisfied.
It would be embarrassing if there was no reward.
Why did official positions become more and more complicated after the Sui and Tang Dynasties? In addition to the actual duties, there were also titles, casual officials, and even honors such as a certain bachelor's degree. This was to reserve room for rewards and honors, so that you could have the possibility of further advancement.
This is the same as upgrading and defeating monsters, everyone hopes to get a grand slam and reach the extreme in every aspect.
The civil servants of later generations all pursue perfection and hope to receive a posthumous title of "Wen Zheng" after death, because this is the greatest compliment for civil servants. This is people's desire for reputation.
Lu Xuan established more titles, and even in the future, he also planned to establish such-and-such bachelor's degree.
This is set up to reward people.
This is exactly the case. You have to eat food one bite at a time. If you give it enough at one time, it will be difficult to give it again in the future.
Lu Xuan officially ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor. After conferring awards to hundreds of officials, he appointed Da Qiao as queen, Mi Huan, Cao Xian and Xiao Qiao as concubines, and the rest of the girls as concubines. In addition, Lu Xuan officially appointed Lu Yu as the prince.
The East Palace system has not been selected yet, after all, Lu Yu is still traveling.
Lu Xuan's early official position structure was to manage government affairs with six ministries, so after he ascended the throne, the official positions at the local and imperial court did not change much, and he did not return to the Han Dynasty's system of three ministers and nine ministers.
Sangong officially became a virtual title and an honorary position.
The end of this year has passed in a hurry with joy and busyness, and in a blink of an eye, we have entered the new year. The cold winter has passed, early spring has arrived, and the weather is gradually getting warmer. After spring began in February, after Lu Xuan personally went to the fields to demonstrate, the Ming Dynasty began to enter the season of spring plowing and sowing.
Everything in Ming Dynasty is thriving.
Even in the north, preparations are made for spring plowing early. Because there is no war, the local generals who are guarding the area continue to suppress bandits, stabilize the place, and the people are peaceful, and everything will continue to change.
In the blink of an eye, March has entered and Nanjing has begun to warm up.
On this day, when Lu Xuan was handling government affairs, an attendant came in and reported: "Your Majesty, King Cao Cao of Qin wants to see you."
"Xuan!"
Lu Xuan ordered.
After a short time, Cao Cao entered the main hall, bowed and saluted: "Your Majesty, Cao Cao, pays homage to your Majesty."
Lu Xuan ordered: "Give me a seat!"
Cao Cao sat down and took the initiative to say: "Your Majesty, after much thought, I still have something to report. There must be an arrangement for Xun Yu, Guo Jia and others."
"One of Jushu and Tian Feng is the governor of Bingzhou, and the other is the governor of Jiaozhou. The talents of Xun Yu and Guo Jia are definitely not inferior to those of the two."
"These words should not have been spoken by me."
"Because it's a taboo."
"But Your Majesty is wise, even if I risk my taboo, I still have to report it."
Cao Cao had an operation at the end of last year and has since recovered. He no longer has the same brain disease as before. His head is refreshed and his energy is very good. However, Tian Feng was assigned to serve in Jiaozhou, and Lu Xuan ascended the throne at the end of the year. Now that it is spring this year, Lu Xuan has not yet arranged for Xun Yu, Guo Jia, Xun You and others.
Cao Cao was really angry.
Xun Yu, Guo Jia and others could endure it, but he didn't want to because these people were his former confidants.
Logically speaking, he wanted to avoid suspicion, but Cao Cao didn't want to.
Lu Xuan looked at the anxious Cao Cao and smiled: "My father-in-law just said that the abilities of Ju Sue and Tian Feng are not as good as Xun Yu and Guo Jia, right?"
"Of course it can't compare."
Cao Cao answered without hesitation.
Guo Jia used to be his mastermind, and Xun Yu used to be his great steward. One had surprising plans, and the other took care of the rear. Xun Yu is even different. Not only can he take care of the rear, but he also has a strategic vision and the ability to make plans. He is a person with extremely comprehensive abilities.
Such people are never arranged.
Obviously inappropriate.
Lu Xuan looked relaxed and said with a smile: "Since my father-in-law knows that Guo Jia and Xun Yu are very capable, better than Tian Feng and Jushu. Then, how can I arrange for them to serve in the local area? Should I just throw them into the local area to play a trick? Next year, when I take people to fight abroad, will I send them away again?"
Cao Cao was stunned for a moment and snorted: "Your Majesty, you are sophistry."
Lu Xuandao: "Don't worry, father-in-law, everything that should be given to them will be given to them. If they don't have this patience, they are not Xun Yu and Guo Jia. If they can't bear this patience, they are not suitable to go abroad to fight. And be patient." Take your time and don’t be in a hurry.”
Cao Cao was full of complaints, but Lu Xuan's words completely suppressed Cao Cao's complaints.
He had something to say.
Lu Xuan is so cunning.
Lu Xuan looked at Cao Cao's expression and knew that he could not make his old father-in-law too sad, so he continued: "Father-in-law, although I cannot go abroad to fight for the time being, I am planning to form an organization. People like Xun Yu, Guo Jia, Xun You, and Cheng Yu will all be included. Come in."
Cao Cao's eyes suddenly lit up.
He suspected that Lu Xuan was waiting for him to ask before he came up with his idea. However, Cao Cao didn't care about anything else. It was a good thing to have arrangements. He asked urgently: "What organization will your Majesty set up?"
