【Chapter 334】 Wealth is not forgotten (continued)
The camp of military generals led by Li Jue entered the court, which made many old ministers in the previous dynasty feel powerless and their hearts are desolate.
In just a few months, Chang'an City has undergone drastic changes and wars continue to occur.
First, Dong Zhuo, a thug who was powerful in the court and the opposition, died, which made the officials applaud and smiled happily, thinking that the great man was saved. Although their own interests were exploited by Dong Zhuo, their foundation was still there. Once Dong Zhuo died, they would usher in greater fame and fortune. Unfortunately, after Wang Yun came to power, he disappointed the officials. Not only did he not receive the expected promotion, but he was strongly suppressed by Wang Yun. All major events in the court were almost decided by Wang Yun. They had no right to speak at all. The situation was the same as during Dong Zhuo's time, and Wang Yun took over the power alone.
Wang Yun's move is the best interpretation of the literati's disregard for each other.
The old ministers of the imperial party, such as Huangfu Song, Zhu Jun and others, not only failed to obtain military power, but Wang Yun deprived them of their existing troops and transformed from military generals to civil servants, left chariots and cavalry generals, Jizhou Mu Huangfu Song became the chief censor, and Zhu Jun also changed from general to chief censor. In Wang Yun's eyes, these two famous generals who wiped out the Yellow Turban were worthless. Not only did they not promote and reuse them, they instead made them civil servants.
The position of the Censor Central Chief is neither high nor low, neither high nor low, and is extremely useful. Generally, there are two to three people, but they can also be used flexibly. It is not impossible to entrust five or six people to serve as the Censor Central Chief Central Chief. During the prosperous period of the Han Dynasty, this position was definitely an extremely prominent official position, with a huge range of authority, long tentacles, and great power. However, since the fall of imperial power, this position has been a useless official position, with only a name but no real power, which is equivalent to a idle position.
During the period when Wang Yun was in power, famous generals like Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun could not get any benefits, let alone others. It is no different to dreams to seek fame and fortune from Wang Yun.
Fortunately, Wang Yun did not take power for a long time. As the Xiliang army counterattacked Chang'an, the power of the world changed hands again, and Li Jue and Guo Si occupied Chang'an City. As a result, all the officials in the court ushered in the darkest and most terrifying period. Under the rule of Li Jue and Guo Si, the Xiliang soldiers forced to conquer and plunder, and often confiscated their homes and destroyed their clans. The officials had no status at all, and were frightened all day long and were in panic.
Fortunately, Li Jue and Guo Si didn't rule Chang'an for a long time. Now it's Wuwei Li's turn to take charge of the army and regent to assist the country.
Yesterday's grand and majestic welcome to the emperor gave all officials hope. It seemed that the days when these people held real power were not far away, and they were full of longing for the coming emperor. In their opinion, although Li Li did not make proper arrangements for the emperor's emperor's lord and the empress dowager's lord, those were all minor details and not worthy of the truth. During the entire welcome to the emperor, Li Li performed remarkable, and there was no sign of being rampant when he succeeded. Although there was something unsatisfactory, he generally adhered to the way of being a minister. Therefore, they even privately discussed that Li Li was young and young after all, and did not know how to take control of the power of the world, but showed the emperor's majesty everywhere. It was simply foolish. Huangkou's concubine son was not enough to achieve great things!
Among the officials in the court, there were many people who had such thoughts. For this reason, they were so excited that they couldn't sleep all night, looking forward to how much benefits they could get and what position they could get at the next day's court meeting.
Now, the morning court is about to begin, and all civil and military officials enter the court. The palace gate is closed.
Seeing that there were fifty or sixty people in the military general camp, and most of them were innocent, many civil officials suddenly realized that something was wrong. They thought that today's morning court was probably just changing the soup and not changing the medicine. Just as before, Li Li of Wuwei was definitely not a good person, he was going to take charge of the government.
But what puzzled the officials was that the Taishi chair that had been placed on the right corner of the jade stairs platform disappeared. Was it stolen by a eunuch who was not afraid of death and sold?
———————————————
"Your Majesty went to court——all officials bowed and bowed!"
Just as the thoughts of civil and military officials in the court were flying, the sharp and harsh voice of the regular servant Dong Hong resounded throughout the hall.
Suddenly, Emperor Liu Xie, under the protection of two golden armored generals, walked steadily to the dragon throne in a crown and dragon robe. The two golden armored generals stood on the dragon throne, with sharp eyes and cold faces, and looked down at the civil and military officials in the hall with indifferent expression.
"I am here to pay homage to Your Majesty, long live my emperor!"
The officials in the hall had no time to observe who were standing behind Emperor Liu Xie, and bowed and bowed, shouting long live. However, no one in the camp of generals led by Li Jue knelt down. They just bowed and saluted, and their words were exactly the same as those of civil servants.
Sitting upright on the dragon throne, Liu Xie looked down at the officials and bowed down, his expression was quite excited, and his heart suddenly felt infinite passion. A tender heart pounded, and he regained the feeling of dominating the world. For a moment, he was emotionally excited and filled with emotion. It was not easy! In order to return to the dragon throne, he had suffered a lot and had bumps. He had been worried and afraid that he would never see the officials bowing together again.
"Cough!" Just as Liu Xie was secretly intoxicated, a light cough came into his ears, scaring him to tremble all over. Then he forced himself to calmly say: "Everyone is calm!"
"Thank you for your priest!" In the hall, all civil and military officials agreed in unison, then stood up straight, looked up at Liu Xie in the high hall and the two golden armored generals behind him.
"Uh? Li,,,,,, Li——" When many people in the civil servant camp on the right saw the appearance of the person standing behind Liu Xie, dozens of officials screamed in surprise, and some even directly said Li Li's name.
That's right, the person standing on the left side of the dragon throne was Wuwei Li Li, and the general on the right was Li Zhi, the commander of the Jinqi Guard. He just coughed lightly and reminded Liu Xie that the person was Li Li. Looking at the huge palace hall, who would dare to make a random sound in the court besides him Li Li.
After looking up at the position where Li Li was standing, many of the civil servants in the hall were suddenly filled with righteous indignation and angry. Because Li Li was standing in the wrong position and contrary to the etiquette system, it was a rebellious! How could he stand on the high platform of the dragon chaise, parallel to the dragon chaise?
After closer inspection, Li Li was really standing on the platform on the left side of the dragon chaise, while Li Zhi was standing on the second-level jade steps three feet away on the right side of the dragon chaise.
Therefore, Li Li and Li Zhi looked one tall and one short. Li Li was obviously one head taller than him, and his tall and straight body was one foot higher than the dragon chaise. In this way, Li Li stood on the left side of the dragon chaise, far more eye-catching than Liu Xie sitting on the dragon chaise, as if an adult was taking care of a half-aged child.
"I am so proud, please report, Your Majesty!" Just as the civil servants glared at Li Li, Jia Xu suddenly stepped out and deliberately dragged his voice to the point of being respectful.
Liu Xieqiang nodded slightly while calmly. Seeing this, Jia Xu unfolded the bamboo slips in his hand and said loudly: "Since General Fenwei Lu Bu assassinated Dong Xiangguo, Chang'an City has suffered many wars, and the people are suffering. General Li Li of the Cavalry was ordered to station in Wuwei County, the border of Liangzhou as a young age. He quelled the turmoil in Liangzhou three times, wiped out the eight-legged turmoil in Liangzhou, conquered Zhangye County and the four counties in the Western Regions, conquered 300,000 Xiumao tribes, and protected the country.
The people have made great contributions! During the Chang'an Rebellion, the General of the Cavalry worked tirelessly and led his army to defeat the rebels of Lu Bu, rescued His Majesty and the Empress Dowager in time, and then eliminated Zhang Ji, Fan Chou and others who planned to be ill-induced Chang'an, and welcomed His Majesty and the Empress Dowager to return to the court. In the past two years, the General of the Cavalry has achieved the record of recovering the four counties of Wuwei and eliminating the Qiang Rebellion. Later, the rebels of Chang'an and saved the charity in danger. Such outstanding people are rare in ancient and modern times!
Therefore, I would like to reward the General of the Cavalry and the soldiers of the Western Liang army. I have prepared a list and ask Your Majesty to read it!"
After Jia Xu finished speaking, the Changshi Dong Hong quickly took the bamboo slips and handed them to Liu Xie for checking.
When Liu Xie held a heavy roll of bamboo slips, a trace of violence flashed through his eyes, but his expression did not change significantly, and he still acted as if he was focusing on looking through the bamboo slips.
Although the strange color in Liu Xie's eyes was extremely hidden and difficult to detect, he could not avoid Li Li's eyes. For a moment, his expression remained unchanged, but he sneered in his heart, and a cold and invisible murderous aura emanated from his whole body.
Li Zhi on the jade steps on the right keenly sensed the strong murderous aura on Li Li's body. His eyes suddenly changed slightly, he glanced at Liu Xie coldly, and then looked down at the civil and military officials under the hall indifferently.
Soon, Liu Xie finished reading the bamboo slips seriously and handed them to Dong Hong, saying loudly: "I will follow all the requests from Jia Xu. Dong Hong will announce the order!"
"No!" Dong Hong bowed and immediately walked up to the hall, read loudly: "Fengtian Chengyun, the emperor's edict said: Li Jue was appointed as General of the Chariot and Cavalry, Marquis of Chiyang. Li Li was appointed as General of the Western Expedition, Marquis of Wuwei, Marquis of Kaifu, and was in charge of military affairs and was in charge of killing and attacking; Li Xian was appointed as General of Anbei and Marquis of Wuxiang. Li Xuan, the Chief of Wuwei County, was appointed as Minister of Shangshu and Marquis of Duxiang; Jia Xu was appointed as Minister of Huangmen, Marquis of Duting. Xu Rong was appointed as General of Pingnan and Marquis of Guannei; Bo Cai was appointed as General of Pingbei and Marquis of Guannei; Teng Xiao was appointed as General of Pingdong and Marquis of Guannei; Guo Si was appointed as General of Pingxi and Marquis of Guannei.
Dianwei was granted the title of General Hu Ben, Li Zhi was the title of General Hu Guard, Huan Fei was the title of General Hu Wei, Teng Yu was the title of General Yangwu, and Fan Yong was the title of General Yangwei.
Duan Wei, Pang De, Tietuo, Jingu, Zhang Liao, Tarusu, Yang Ding, Hu Zhen, Li Zheng, Li Meng, and Li Dian were granted the titles of Generals of the Central Army.
The 28 people including Ma Chao, Tie Xiao, Yin Zi, Tie Zi, Wang Fang, Meng Chong, Cheng Yi, Ma Wan, Cao Xing, Yang Qiu, Huan Bao, Huan Lang???????? were granted the title of twenty-eight people as the captains. Qin this——”
After reading the imperial edict in one breath, Dong Hong took a deep breath and felt dry mouth and was very uncomfortable. He felt uncomfortable, and the hundreds of civil servants on the right side of the hall were even stunned and their eyes were almost glaring out.
Good guy, he was awarded two county marquises with three Dukes at one time, two township marquises, and five Guannei marquises; Siping General, five miscellaneous generals, twelve central generals, and twenty-eight school marquises. In addition, the military generals with original official positions in the Western Liang Army, nearly 100 people on the left camp of generals, all of whom were ranks of 600 stones or more.
Such a large-scale imperial title, in addition to the two imperial titles of heroes at the beginning of the founding of the Han Dynasty and Guangwu’s revival, this is the third major imperial title.
Such an imperial title was a rare grand prize in the Eastern Han Dynasty in the past two hundred years, which is really amazing!
