Chapter 35 Extra pounds!
Liu Ao’s character is absolutely easy to deal with!
Just after Wang Yin recommended Wang Mang to concurrently lead the Tun Cavalry School Lieutenant and the Huben School Lieutenant in front of Liu Ao, Liu Ao didn't even frown or hesitate at all. He just followed Wang Mang's recommendation and passed Wang Yin's recommendation.

Moreover, Liu Ao also added weight.
Liu Ao said: "I recently heard that Wang Mang was selfless and selfless in running the army, with Zhou Yafu's style. In just one day's work, the atmosphere of the Yulin camp was shaken up! I love this talented man very much. The imperial army has to guard the capital.
I have heard that thousands of armies have been easy to obtain since ancient times, but one general is hard to find. Wang Mang has great talents and is a relative of mine, so he is a person I can rely on. Therefore, I decided to let Wang Mang take over the Yue Cavalry School Lieutenant again and make them unite.
The Fourth School Lieutenant Camp purges the Imperial Army."
When Liu Ao said this, Wang Yin was a little shocked. He never expected that Liu Ao would value Wang Mang so much. Not only did he allow Wang Mang to serve as both a Tun Cavalry Captain and a Huben Colonel, he also gave him a Yue Cavalry Captain as a gift.
.
At this time, Wang Mang immediately became a very important figure in Chang'an City. At this moment, Wang Mang didn't know it yet.
Wang Yin looked at Liu Ao who was so generous and obedient, and he couldn't help but worship him: "The Emperor is a sage!"
Liu Ao sat on the throne and smiled. In fact, he had already been thinking about how to compensate Wang Mang.
Ever since he left the palace with Wang Mang, he not only experienced different pleasures under Wang Mang's arrangement, but also enjoyed the auspiciousness, which made him show off in front of all the officials, and then offered sacrifices to Gao Mang in great splendor.
Temple and reported his achievements to his ancestors.
Liu Ao keeps these things in mind, and he is also a person who must repay kindness and a person who must do what he says!
Therefore, after Wang Yin recommended this time, Liu Ao did not hesitate without hesitation. If he hesitated even a little bit, it would be disrespectful to himself!
Throughout the ages, there are very few emperors who can keep their promises and always think about repayment, and Liu Ao is one of them.
Although Liu Ao didn't make many achievements in politics, he was definitely not picky as a person, and he absolutely followed through on his promises!
Liu Ao said: "In that case, the matter is settled."
Wang Yin paid his respects again, and then left the palace where Liu Ao was.
After leaving the palace where Liu Ao was, Wang Yin also sighed, "This is so lucky for our Wang family!"
Soon, when Wang Mang was still immersed in the fact that he was going to be the third captain, Huang Menlang, who was delivering the order from the palace, arrived at Wang Mang.
"There is a purpose."
As soon as Yang Xiong arrived at Wang Mang's place, he couldn't wait to take out the decree and announce it to Wang Mang.
After Wang Mang heard the commotion, he came out immediately. He saw Yang Xiong with several guards and holding the emperor's edict with one hand. Wang Mang was happy, but his expression and movements remained humble.
Wang Mang bowed and said: "I, Shesheng Colonel Wang Mang, are here to see Your Majesty."
In the Han Dynasty, ministers were not as humble as in later generations when receiving orders. They had to kneel on the ground. Han ministers generally bowed deeply to greet the emperor's orders.
The reason why Han ministers were able to welcome the emperor's will in this manner was not because the emperor was kind and benevolent, but because the ministers of the Han Dynasty still had the aristocratic style of the Spring and Autumn Period.
To put it bluntly, this style is the style of the old lords. There is more righteousness between monarchs and ministers, rather than the loyalty emphasized by later generations.
Although this ethos was forcibly reformed during the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Confucian techniques were used to further strengthen the loyalty of the emperor and his ministers.
However, even within Confucianism in the Han Dynasty, there are still many factions and factions, and many people have different interpretations of Confucian classics.
Therefore, under this situation, it is almost impossible to complete the imperial power's crushing of everything.
Only by gradually strengthening the centralization of power through successive generations of monarchs can we completely make the ministers kneel down. Otherwise, even in the Song and Yuan Dynasties, ministers did not have to be as formal as they had to kneel down and obey when they met the emperor like in the Ming and Qing Dynasties.
.
Yang Xiong looked at Wang Mang who respectfully accepted the order. He was envious and relieved. He had long known that Wang Mang was not a thing in the pool, but he never expected that Wang Mang's rise would be so rapid!
How long has it been since you left Tianlu Pavilion? You are already a two-thousand-stone official! Moreover, your authority is still increasing! There is already a vague intention to compare with Jiuqing!
It's hard for Yang Xiong not to envy such a speed of promotion.
Yang Xiong opened his mouth and read the imperial edict: "Zhi said: Wang Mang, the captain of the Shesheng School, is strict in running the army and has the style of a marquis. It is specially decreed that Wang Mang will also be the captain of the Tun Cavalry School, the Huben School Captain, and the Yue Cavalry School Lieutenant. I hope you will live up to my expectations.
, Rectify the Forbidden Army!"
Liu Ao's edict is very brief, but not much nonsense, it is all practical information.
After receiving such an order, Wang Mang did not hesitate to bow down again: "I accept the order!"
Yang Xiong handed the decree to Wang Mang, who stood up with the decree in his hand.
Yang Xiong smiled and said: "Congratulations, general."
When Wang Mang heard what Yang Xiong said, he immediately said: "Brother Ziyun, don't tease me like this. It's a blessing for Mang Yin's ancestors that Mang can enter this big position."
After Yang Xiong heard Wang Mang's words, he felt a lot more balanced, but he still couldn't hide the envy in his eyes.
Yang Xiong said: "Jujun's words are wrong. The name of Jujun's iron-faced general has long been known in the capital. How can he not be reused by the emperor if he is so powerful? If we really talk about the so-called shadow of the blessings of our ancestors, all the officials in the dynasty will
Is there anyone who has not been promoted to an official position because of his cuteness?"
What Yang Xiong said is right. The selection of officials during the Han Dynasty was indeed like this.
Recommended as an official.
As far as Yang Xiong is concerned, Yang Xiong's ancestors also had a prefect. Otherwise, how could a person like Yang Xiong, who was born in the land of Western Shu, come to Chang'an so easily to take up the post of Huang Menlang?<
/p>
Although Yang Xiong is talented, the premise is that he must have a certain degree of family connections to gain the recognition of the nobles of Chang'an. Otherwise, even if he can write amazing poems, no one will take a second look at him.
And this is the reality of being an official or a clerk in the Han Dynasty!
Although it sounds unfair, it was the fairest way to select officials in the Han Dynasty. The cost of studying in the Han Dynasty was extremely high, and book learning was still carried by heavy materials such as slips and slips. Generally speaking, Guizhou officials
It is impossible to have the opportunity to learn.
The people who learned the knowledge must also be the children of these official families and the children of local wealthy families. These people were the only handful of people at that time who could read and write and were familiar with the way the imperial court operated.
Therefore, even if you lift their filial piety and integrity with your eyes closed, it will not be much different.
The only thing you need to consider is whether the talents you recommend can always be on the same page with you!
Therefore, under such a background, naturally the more powerful a person is in his family, the faster he will be promoted. After all, nowadays, the foreign troubles of the Han Dynasty have been eliminated, and there is almost no military merit to be gained. Those who want to be promoted rely on military merit.
People, it is equivalent to cutting off the door.
The remaining people can only try their best to join the wealthy families, hoping to be recommended by these wealthy families and then enter the court as officials.
Yang Xiong is like this. He has a good relationship with Wang Mang. The most important thing is that he was recommended by Wang Yin. Therefore, Yang Xiong's identity cannot be erased from the words Wang Mang's literati.
Friends are also his best choice!
