There is a complete set of rules for the names of Daliang martial arts titles.

The title "Gonggong" is a single character, and the selection range is based on ancient place names. This is the field that the great Confucians are best at. They quote scriptures from the vast pile of ancient papers, so I will not go into details here. The two-level titles of Hou Bo are divided into two situations. One is

They were promoted from baron to viscount. For example, Li Bingzhong's Marquis of Fengcheng was Fengchengzi at the earliest. The second one was directly made a prince or a marquis because of his great merit. Most emperors would choose a title with far-reaching meaning.

This situation is relatively common among the founding heroes.

As for the viscount and baron, both are named after the place names in today's Daliang territory.

For example, Li Jin was awarded the title of Viscount Yanshan. Yanshan is the name of a place in Yongzhou, and the Yanshan Guard he commanded was also named after it. It is natural and logical. The title of Viscount Zhongshan that Pei Yue was awarded seems to be only the same as that of Li Jin.

The difference between a word and the meaning behind it is like a difference in clouds and mud, which is why those civil servants reacted so strongly.

Zhongshan is a land attached to a large city called Chengjing, which is located in Qinzhou in the south.

Daliang has two capitals, one prefecture and thirteen prefectures, one is Xingliang Prefecture, and the two capitals are Kyoto and Chengjing.

Before the founding of the country, Emperor Gaozu went through more than a hundred battles, large and small, and had numerous famous men and powerful generals under his command. Before the decisive battle at Longpankou and the killing of the northern leader Ye Cheng, Dingguo Duke Pei Yuan was not one person under one person but over ten thousand people. There were still countless people of equal status to him.

There is one person above him.

This man's name was Lin Qingyuan, from Zhongshan, and he was the highest-ranking counselor around Emperor Gaozu.

When the former Wei Dynasty was on the verge of collapse, it was he who made a plan for Gaozu to change the situation and successfully occupy the rich areas of the dynasty with Kyoto as the core. During the subsequent period when all the heroes came together, it was he who coordinated the overall situation and stabilized the rear for Gaozu. Although he was not like Pei

Yuan Yong was extremely capable of cutting down generals, and he did not have the spy talent of Zuo Lingchen, the first Taishitai Pavilion. But at that time, everyone knew that without Lin Qingyuan's strategic planning, Gaozu would never be able to securely seize a large territory and establish the Liang Kingdom.

It is a pity that he passed away on the eve of the founding of Daliang, and left a last statement that he would not be granted any title, nor would he grant any title to his descendants. Otherwise, given Gaozu's temperament, the reward would be increased as an exception, and the only king with a different surname in Daliang would appear.

Of course, Emperor Gaozu still asked hundreds of officials to agree on the posthumous title of "Zhongwu" for him, and even allowed him to enjoy the Imperial Ancestral Temple, which can be said to enjoy all the honors.

After the situation in the south gradually became clearer, Emperor Gaozu built the capital based on Zhongshan Town in Qinzhou. The official theory is that because Daliang has a vast territory and Kyoto is located in the north, facing the eagerly looking Zhou Dynasty in the south, the southern border is in great need of a war period.

The place of decision-making. After Chengjing was built, it indeed played a great role, especially during several intense wars with the Southern Zhou Dynasty. As the residence of the commanders of the southern border camps, it played an important role in integrating the border troops and coordinating the officials and people of the four states.

Even so, both the founding heroes at that time and the learned scholars of later generations knew that Gaozu's establishment of Chengdu was closely related to Lin Qingyuan. It is said that when Lin Qingyuan passed away, Gaozu sat on the edge of his bed, held his hand and cried bitterly.

It was difficult to stop, almost fainting.

From then on, Zhongshan, a small town that was originally unknown in the pre-Wei Dynasty, became of great significance in the Daliang court because it was the birthplace of Lin Qingyuan.

After the eunuch read Pei Yue's imperial edict, he stepped aside and stood in awe with his head bowed.

In the spacious main hall of Chengtian Hall, there was no sound at this time, and you could hear a pin drop.

Emperor Kaiping on the dragon throne looked calm, and his narrow eyes looked from left to right at Mo Haoli and Wang Pingzhang, who were standing at the head of the civil and military officials.

The expressions of these two important ministers, who seemed to be about the same age, were calm, but in fact, there was a slight turbulence in their hearts. Regarding the reward matter after the bandits were eliminated, Emperor Kaiping was very determined, especially after stating that the top reward would be a viscount, Mo and Wang

He did not object strongly. Although the imperial title was valuable, two mere viscounts would not affect the overall situation.

The specific titles and fiefdoms have been pending. Emperor Kaiping waited until yesterday to decide, so the ten important ministers of the two houses only found out today. Li Jin's Yanshanzi is insignificant, but Pei Yue's Zhongshanzi is difficult for them to accept.

It's just that these people have practiced for decades to get to where they are now. Putting aside their abilities, the city is as deep as the sea, so they didn't jump out to oppose it eagerly, because there will definitely be someone who will stand up for them.

Pei Yue stood at the end of the team, joy welling up in his heart, trying his best to remain calm.

Although he felt that the word "Zhongshan" was a little bit bad because he had used the derogatory name "Zhongshan Wolf" in his previous life, he also understood that it meant that he had taken a crucial first step and would no longer have to use the name "Dingguo Shuzi" anymore.

Walking with your head among the family members, you can steadily weave your own blueprint in the future.

He looked to the side with a calm expression, and saw the seventh-grade official, who was about thirty years old, looking towards him. The man's expression was very solemn, and there was even a hint of apology in his eyes.

Pei Yue didn't know why. He and the other party were strangers. He didn't know where this apology came from.

Then he saw the other party take a step to the left and said loudly: "Weak minister, Supervising Censor Liu Zhen, I beg your Majesty to think twice."

In Taichung, the supervisory censor is the lowest-ranked official position. From the seventh rank, he is responsible for overseeing hundreds of officials, patrolling prefectures and counties, prison litigation, military affairs, sacrifices, camp operations, and the cashiers of the imperial government.

The left and right compartments and the outline of the hundred chapters.

When Liu Zhen spoke, the official next to him almost subconsciously moved his body slightly, trying to get further away from him.

Pei Yue only heard as if a big bell was ringing next to his ears. He looked at the other party in surprise, wondering how this thin civil servant could have such a loud voice. What puzzled him even more was Liu Zhen's words. If he

If I'm not mistaken, the other party should think that the emperor's edict is inappropriate?

It was not that Pei Yue was unprepared. In fact, he had long expected that today's court meeting would not go well. There might not be anyone who would block his title, but he never thought that the first person to come forward would be a seventh-grade official.

What happened next surprised him even more. He heard the voice of the inner prisoner: "Xuan Liu is really approaching."

Liu Zhen didn't squint his eyes, walked straight into the front of the palace with his head held high.

Although he is only a seventh-rank official, his temperament and demeanor are far superior to those of the fifth and sixth-rank officials before him.

Emperor Kaiping asked: "What are you thinking about?"

Liu Zhen didn't care about the looks of the important ministers beside him. He lowered his head slightly to show respect and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, martial arts titles are important weapons of the imperial court, and rewards should be given with great caution. Looking at the old rules of this dynasty, anyone who is awarded a martial arts title

He must have border military merits. Today, I will be rewarded with two titles. Li Jin, the commander of the Yanshan Guards, has fought hard in the southern border for many years and has made great contributions. It is understandable to get this title. However, Pei Yue, who was appointed as the capital of the country, was only fourteen years old. He had done nothing but helped the Beijing camp.

After wiping out hundreds of bandits, you can become a viscount in one fell swoop. I am afraid that the world will not be convinced. I hope Your Majesty will think twice."

His voice was so loud and powerful that other courtiers could hear it clearly even without the help of the special structure in the main hall.

Many people's eyes were surprised. Although there are often honest people in the Yushitai, it is rare to be as bold as Liu Zhen.

His words almost pointed at Emperor Kaiping's nose and called him a coward.

A fourteen-year-old boy can become a viscount by just suggesting a few tricks. If the rewards and punishments are such a child's play, what is it but a foolish king?

Luo Ting, who was standing second among civil servants, looked at Mo Haoli's old back and felt a little surprised.

When the matter was discussed in the duty room, Mo Haoli finally believed that the title could be given, but not easily, otherwise there would be too many military honors in the future, and the situation in the court would easily become unbalanced.

Since Mo Haoli said this, Luo Ting didn't want to cause trouble, because the old man would definitely arrange everything.

However, Liu Zhen's appearance and reply were very abrupt. How could such rough writing be the work of Mo Haoli?
