Chapter 1090 Appointment
There is no need to say much about the rituals of the day.
As everyone speculated, the six important officials who had previously been awarded Zhang Wujian were directly treated at the ceremony of the emperor's ascension ceremony without waiting for the next day of the Weiyang Palace ceremony. The worship of these six people also clarified the military and political structure of the new dynasty and the distribution of major powers for a considerable period.
The positions of these six important officials are
Prime Minister, the Secretary of State, Zhuge Liang;
General, Guan Yu, Shouhou of Han;
General of the Cavalry, who held the throne to the military affairs of Jing, Jiao, Jiang and the three prefectures, and Xinning Hou Lei Yuan;
General Cheqi and Cavalry, governing the military affairs of Yong and Liang prefectures, Zhang Fei, the Marquis of Xixiang;
Sili's lieutenant, Wei General Fa Zheng.
Zhongdu Protector, Zhao Yun, the general of the army.
Among these six people, Zhuge Liang was originally a military advisor general and the Grand Sima Mansion was appointed by everyone. He must have been the prime minister after the re-establishment of the court. In addition to the position of prime minister, he also recorded the affairs of the Secretariat. It can be seen that his position as prime minister was not only to assist the emperor in governing the country's affairs, but also to directly control the government affairs of the world as the emperor's agent. He was in every detail and in everything. He was the leader of the legitimate officials who were above the ministers.
Guan Yu was a famous general in the world and the emperor's most capable military assistant. For decades, Guan Yu's troops or territory often occupied more than one-third of the emperor's leadership. When the Han Dynasty rebuilt in Chang'an and ruled the military affairs of the world, Guan Yu was the only one who was responsible for the rebuilding of the Han Dynasty in Chang'an.
However, because Guan Yu's health was declining after the war in Jingxiang, he often needed to recuperate; Guan Yu's general was different from the powerful ministers and nobles who had been in charge of national affairs in the Han family and had a special quest for expeditions outside. His power was limited to the planning of the central military affairs, and his rank was inferior to that of the prime minister.
In terms of qualifications and prestige, Zhang Fei has long been compared with Guan Yu, and it was only slightly inferior to him in a few years. As the general of the chariot and cavalry, Zhang Fei held the military commander of the two states of Yong and Liang, that is, he went out of the center and became the military leader of the Han government in the west and north directions.
Fa Zheng's position was quite meaningful. Previously, he was the Shangshu Ling and the General of the Guardian of the Kingdom of Hanzhong. However, after the emperor ascended the throne, Fa Zheng was converted into the Sili School Captain, which seemed to avoid Fa Zheng's direct jurisdiction under Zhuge Liang.
In modern times, the Sili School Captain was a cruciating tiger and a powerful position. In addition to supervising all the officials, Fa Zheng was also responsible for the task of directly responsible for the political affairs of Guanzhong and Chang'an and leading the reconstruction and restoration of the Han political center. The position of General Wei allowed Fa Zheng to supervise the gradually enriched Southern and Northern Army in Chang'an City.
Zhao Yun was always humble, so among the first six people who received the Ceremony, he was not given a heavy title. However, because Fa Zheng handed over the position of General of the Guardian, Zhao Yun was promoted from the original General of the Yi Army to the Central Commander and General of the Army. With this, Zhao Yun was able to legitimately command the recruitment of new recruits in the entire army, formulate combat plans, and appointment and selection of grassroots military officers, and allocation of military armor and equipment.
As for Lei Yuan, his shifts among the six people were only after Zhuge Liang and Guan Yu, and his position was as close as a minister. As the only person among the six important officials who had been out of the local area for a long time, he controlled the military of the three states, and had elite troops who could fight in the field, totaling nearly 300,000, and maintained a border of more than 2,700 miles from the South China Sea to Jingxiang.
However, after the military responsibilities were extremely strengthened, Lei Yuan's position as the prefect of Jiaozhou and Cangwu was lifted... This is also a necessary check and balance, otherwise it would not be entrusted with important tasks, but it would be like to force a rebellion.
The next day, the emperor met in the front hall of Weiyang Palace to commend and encourage the ministers and hold a banquet; at the banquet, the ministers who were present or not were transferred.
Among them, Liu Ba was appointed as the Secretary of Shangshu Ling, Dong He, Ma Liang, Xi Zhen, Liao Li, Zhao Ang, Jiang Xu, Yang Fu and others were all promoted and filled into the center of the court; and generals with outstanding achievements were also awarded the titles of generals such as four directions and even four battles and four towns.
Among the generals who were awarded the title of General, Huang Zhong, Chen Dao, Wu Yi, Zhang Ren, Gan Ning, Ling Bao, and Deng Xian were in the center; Pang De, Ma Dai, and Wei Yan were divided into Lianglong and under Zhang Fei's command; Guan Ping, Huang Quan, Li Yan, Kou Feng and Huo Jun were located in Jingzhou, Jiaozhou and Jiangzhou, and were under Lei Yuan's unified command.
As the appointments were issued one by one, the hall gradually became a little noisy.
After all, Duke Xuande did not pay much attention to the etiquette of the monarch and his subjects when he got up and worked in the army. Zhuge Liang, who usually had strict requirements on this, rarely relaxed today.
The generals were inevitably happy because of the rewards. They compared the fierce battles they had experienced, and talked about the thrilling deeds on the battlefield, which was messy. The civil officials still abide by etiquette and occasionally talked in a low voice, but their feelings about being in the palace of the imperial capital were much deeper than those of the warriors.
Although after years of operation by Zhong Yao and Fa Zheng led the emergency repair, the unrecovered collapsed palace can still be seen in this huge palace located on Longshouyuan, and the signs of destruction and destruction are hard to hide.
The Weiyang Palace was built by Emperor Gaozu Xiao He. Later, after four hundred years of ups and downs, the emperor met with his ministers here, but it was the third year of Chuping, when the chaos began to arise.
The monarch and ministers in the hall were later washed away by the chaotic times and almost no one existed. At that time, hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians gathered in Chang'an City and were carried by Dong Zhuo to the west, and later they were attacked and destroyed by Li Jue, Guo Si, Han Sui, Ma Teng and others, and at this time they became ghosts under the spring.
Even people are like this, let alone houses?
Fortunately, people still miss the Han Dynasty; fortunately, the Han Dynasty has not abandoned the people in the world; fortunately, some people can turn the tide and support the building to collapse.
At this time, in the huge hall, all civil officials were handsome in the world, and military generals were outstanding people who had been fighting for battle for a long time. Although the Han officials did not gather in total, the elite figures who rose from the dragon in the chaos and finally established the dynasty in Jianye were said to be more than half of them ranked here. Their chats and laughter seemed to be gathered with the joy and cheers of ordinary soldiers and civilians in Chang'an City outside the hall.
Lei Yuan had a very poor alcohol tolerance. At this time, he drank two bottles of light wine. Others were fine, but he was already slightly drunk. He looked up and saw that Ma Dai, who had returned to Liangzhou as early as last year and successfully took over the Ma family's tribe in Fufeng, was smiling at him, and Lei Yuan also responded to him.
Everything in front of him was real. But Lei Yuan knew that the period of history he was familiar with had no chance to appear again; the seemingly unstoppable tide of history was eventually changed.
He looked up and looked around. He saw giant pillars as if standing upright, countless lamp plates and candlesticks as bright as stars. It seemed as if he was in between illusion and reality, as if he was unreal as a meg reality.
At this time, the banquet was in full swing, and the emperor retreated into the back hall, making the ministers laugh freely in the front hall.
Among the generals, some of them started to make a fuss. It turned out that several generals were drinking too much and noisy to ask for gambling and shooting skills.
Wei Yan took the lead to the open space outside the hall and asked someone to hang a target on the corridor column. He asked for a bow from the emperor's entourage, pulled the bow and exerted force, and shot it with a whirlwind arrow, hitting the bull's eye. Seeing the generals cheered, Wei Yan was proud and asked his colleagues one by one if they had such skills.
Several people took bows and arrows to shoot, but they were not as accurate as Wei Yan, so they rushed to find Huang Zhong.
Huang Zhong was over 70 years old and had stayed away from actual military affairs since last year and was recuperating at home. Because of the emperor's ascension ceremony, he specially rushed from Chengdu to Chang'an. Although the military position was not changed, his title was from Guannei Hou to Jin as the county marquis.
Seeing his colleagues looking forward, Huang Zhong laughed loudly, took the strong bow from his entourage, and did not make much force. He raised his right hand and released the strings with his left hand. The sharp arrow broke through the wind and cut Wei Yan's arrow stabbed in the bull's eye straight into two halves.
Everyone cheered and advised Huang Zhong to drink.
When the ceremonies were dispersed, Huang Zhong was a little drunk. He stood in front of the steps of the palace and staggered to everyone. He walked two steps, probably because of the cool breeze and the smell of alcohol surged, and he vomited on the spot. Zhuge Liang quickly arranged the car and sent him back to the mansion.
The next day, Lei Yuan got up and was washing up, he heard the entourage report "The latter General Huang Zhong died of illness."
