Chapter 145 Title Reform

The first year of the Han calendar is spring.

A new year, a new calendar and a brand new palace.

Moreover, before the winter of last year, Port Royal finally completed the final construction and is now ready for use. Huang Yueying's ship drawings have also been sent to the Ministry of Industry. Huang Chengyan and a group of craftsmen from the Ministry of Industry discussed the construction plan of this ship

There is a heated discussion going on, and it seems that there will be no results in a short time.

Liu Xuan was bored by all the complicated etiquette of offering sacrifices to heaven and paying homage to ancestors during the New Year, but he didn't want to change them for the time being. At least it was considered a culture, and he should pass it on if it could be passed on.

What's more, after so many years, he has gradually gotten used to it. It's a pity that he didn't get a break after all the etiquette was over, because the suggestion made last winter: divide the troops into two groups and pacify Yizhou and Jiangdong respectively made the court very busy.

Became a ball.

There must be a lot of preparation work to be done if we want to fight, not to mention there are two armies.

More importantly, the significance of this war.

As long as this war ends successfully, the Han Dynasty will stop the chaotic situation that has lasted for more than ten years, and the warlord separatist situation caused by the Yellow Turban Rebellion will also be completely ended, and it will become a unified and powerful regime again.

It's nothing more than trying to save the building from falling.

By doing this, everyone in the court will be remembered in history. Some people even thought that even if they resigned and returned to their hometown after the war, they would be able to live in glory and become very famous people in the local area.

Of course, most people will not think about this. They think this is the best time to show their abilities, especially after the world is unified. The emperor must properly curb the power of the military attache group and start to support the civil service system.

Well, you still resign under that kind of circumstances? Isn’t that stupid?

It's a pity that these people will never know that in the development plan Liu Xuan outlined for the Han Dynasty, the war will almost never stop. He even wants to develop the Han Dynasty into a huge and powerful and aggressive terrifying behemoth.

It will tear anyone who offends its majesty into pieces, and will continue to eat everything around it that can be devoured, even leaving no bones.

"In the battle against Sun Ce, I will personally lead the army southward, and the forward general will be Lu Bu, Lu Fengxian, the general of the Western Conquest!"

He glanced around.

"Does anyone have anything to say?"

Civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, look at me and I look at you. I feel that there is nothing to propose on this matter! In this kind of war to regain the world, it is normal for the emperor to personally fight. Even if the emperor does not contribute at all in the war, the symbolic meaning is still extremely important.

What's more, the emperor wants to gain merit, who dares to say no?

On the other hand, the attack on Yizhou has not even been decided yet. Who will be sent to attack? Who will be led to attack? How to attack? From which direction? Now it is not certain, there is not even a clue.

"As for Yizhou, I want to appoint the governor of Pingchuan. Who do you think can take on this important task?"

Governor Pingchuan, as soon as he heard this name, he understood that the emperor not only wanted to destroy Tianshi Dao, but also took care of Liu Zhang.

However, this is a matter of course. However, Xichuan is not so easy to defeat due to its geographical environment. In addition, although Liu Xuan has four elite troops, in addition to the Tiger and Ben Army, there is also a trapped camp.

, several other troops and horses are not suitable for fighting in Xichuan.

Originally, Liu Xuan wanted to wait until he formed a light infantry unit, or that his infantry could already march normally regardless of the terrain, even if they were wearing dozens of kilograms of heavy armor.

Or, replace the Yulin Cavalry with a mount that can fly.

But now there is nothing, but even so Liu Xuan is confident of winning the final victory - after all, the combat power of the imperial army is much higher than that of Tianshi Dao.

Even if Tianshi Dao has some mysterious spells, it is a pity that only a small number of people in Tianshi Dao have mastered advanced magic. As long as excellent generals are sent to contain these people, Tianshi Dao has no chance of winning.

In addition to this, he also wanted his generals to get some training.

Tianshi Dao's strength is not good, but because of its terrain advantage and its high-end combat power, which is as capable as its own troops, in general both sides have a chance of winning, but the imperial army's side is higher.

Only in this kind of war can our generals be trained and let them know how to better exert the power of themselves and their soldiers.

You know, Liu Xuan will colonize the universe in the future. If the generals have no experience in hard battles, if they encounter any trouble and the whole army is wiped out, he will have no place to cry. So he might as well take advantage of this opportunity to practice

Practice.

The civil and military officials in the DPRK and China looked at each other again, and finally Cao Cao spoke: "I think Guan Yunchang can take on this responsibility!"

Guan Yu?

Liu Xuan thought about it and realized that there was really no one more suitable than Guan Yu in the court.

It's not that Guan Yu has the strongest ability. In terms of ability alone, the imperial army is full of talents, and you can easily count several generals who are as good as Guan Yu.

But the key question is that those people have only been in the imperial army for a short period of time and their status is not high. Who is likely to let a captain of the imperial army serve as the governor of Pingchuan?

In other words, among the suitable candidates, Guan Yu has the highest official rank, so Guan Yu is the most suitable! What's more, this time he marches into Xichuan, the Huben Army will definitely accompany him.

Because the trapped camp and the Tiger and Ben armored soldiers are critical combat forces, the only thing that is depressing is the Tiger and Ben warrior cavalry. However, once they pass through the Qinling Mountains and reach the Chengdu Plain, they will have a chance to show their strength.

What's more, Guan Yu also made great achievements in the last battle in Hebei, but because of his special position, he was not promoted for a while.

Letting him serve as the governor of Pingchuan this time is also a signal to him: Your Majesty still remembers you. As long as you help the court to fight in all directions, your Majesty will never treat you badly. This time, you will be commanded by the army, and you will be promoted when you come back.

Sir!

"Xiahou Miaocai can be the deputy general!"

Xia Houyuan has been guarding outside Xiegu Pass in the past few years. He dare not say in Sichuan, but he must have memorized the roads into Sichuan, especially which places are easy to be ambushed, which roads are not conducive to the march of the army, and which roads will be blocked once they are blocked.

It is easy for the entire army to suffer... With Xia Houyuan here, the risk of entering Sichuan will be reduced a lot.

"Very good!"

Liu Xuan nodded, agreeing with Cao Cao's proposal. The next thing would be much easier to handle. It was just which generals and colonels should he bring with him?

This matter not only requires everyone to discuss it, but also asks Guan Yu himself what he means in detail.

The final result of the discussion was that Zhang Fei, Zhang He, Gao Lan, Liao Hua and others would accompany the army into Sichuan. In addition, Li Dian, Le Jin and others stationed in the northwest could also go south with the army and garrison in Ziwu Valley.

Meng and Wei Xu can also move with the army.

As a result, there are many generals, and the number of 50,000 forbidden army soldiers, accompanying soldiers and civilians, and subsequent county and state soldiers is even greater. The number of people is at least 200,000. With such a large army entering Sichuan, Yizhou will inevitably regain its power.

Returned to the imperial court.

The Pingchuan army decided that Guan Yu would be busy with all the specific matters.

Cao Cao did not participate. After the dynasty dispersed, he and several important ministers gathered in the Imperial Study Room to discuss who should take over the position of Central Protector.

Discussions went on and on, but no suitable candidate could be thought of. Although the court was full of talents, it did not mean that anyone could serve in any position.

Some people already have important positions and cannot move, while others are not suitable for such positions.

Thinking of this, Liu Xuan hopes to pacify the two places as soon as possible, so that he can recruit a large number of talents, and such loopholes will never appear again.

The Zhonghu Army did not come up with a result from the discussion, but the discussion on the title had already set a framework.

Liu Xuan abolished the current system and restored the fifth-class title system for male princes, princes, and uncles.

It is said that this system was first implemented during the Yao and Shun periods, and continued during the Xia Dynasty. The Shang Dynasty abolished the son and second-class male.

The Zhou Dynasty restored the five-level title system, but later many different lower-level titles were added to the feudal states, causing the title system to become chaotic.

After the changes in the Qin Dynasty, twenty ranks of Chehou were established. The Han Dynasty continued, and at the same time, kings were added. At the beginning, anyone with great merit could be granted the title. Later, it was changed to only the royal family. Later, Chehou avoided Liu Che's taboo.

It was changed to Liehou and has been used to this day.

Liu Xuan now feels that there are too many titles and they are too confusing. The fifth rank is simple and clear. It just so happens that there are not many people with titles in the court now. After nearly twenty years of chaos, almost all those who originally had titles are dead.

If you want to reform, now is the best time.

Otherwise, when Liu Xuan's new group of subordinates have more and more meritorious services and are awarded more and more titles, it will be more troublesome to change it. It is better to solve it in one go now.

"Prince Bozinan, princes are only conferred on royals who have made significant contributions to the country!"

In other words, except for King Chenliu and King Hongnong, who were originally 'legacy', if the royal family wants to be crowned king in the future, they must have great achievements, otherwise even Liu Xuan's biological son will not be crowned king -

-In fact, it is impossible for Liu Xuan to have a son. He has already refined all his essence.

In addition, he himself is immortal and wants his son to compete with him for power? His move is actually to prevent the descendants of Liu Bei or Liu Xie from having the throne without doing anything.

In addition, Liu Xuan stipulated that under normal circumstances, the titles granted cannot be hereditary, which means that my achievements belong to me. If my son wants a title, he should work hard on his own!

What he did extremely well was that even the royal family did the same!

"this……"

Everyone, look at me, and I look at you? I didn’t expect that today’s government would be so ruthless, but this order is undoubtedly good for the country, because it will reduce a lot of burdens.

The only thing I'm worried about is the opinions of my clan members - but looking at the current situation and the power of today, those people don't seem to have the confidence to raise their opinions.
