"Canonize the eldest son Li Hao as the crown prince!"
When these words in the imperial edict were shouted out by the eunuch who announced the edict, it was obvious that among the many people present, some showed a hint of excitement, while some just had a hint of sadness on their faces.
However, as the next sentence of the decree came out, the expressions of everyone present changed again.
"Prince Li Yu is the King of Qin, Prince Li Xuan is the King of Xiangyang, Prince Li An is the King of Jin, Prince Li Wen is the King of Jiangxia, Prince Li Wu is the King of Changsha, Prince Li Zhao is the King of Beidi, and Prince Li Sheng is the King of Yecheng
, Prince Li Zhi is the King of Yuyang, and Prince Li Kai is the King of Jinyang."
After the King of Qin and the King of Jin were sealed away, especially the title of King Jin, it really shocked all the ministers.
You must know that, except for the eldest son Li Hao, who has been canonized as the crown prince, all the other princes are two-character county princes, and only these two have been named one-character king.
You need to know who the last owner of the title King Jin was! The significance of this title is really great!
All of this, the ministers cannot help but think about it!
For a time, the ministers who originally thought that the crown prince's position was determined were all on tenterhooks again! It was still uncertain whether the crown prince would inherit the throne in the future!
The prince's performance is indeed good, but Li Yu and Li An are not bad either. Of course, if the prince's performance is still good, even with his status as the eldest son, those two will not really threaten him. Li Xiang
He won't let them threaten him!
After all, born from sorrow and dying from happiness, it is not easier to defend the world than to conquer the world. Li Xiang has taken care of the matter of conquering the world for them, but how to defend the world depends on their own abilities!
This kid must always have a sense of urgency and not live too peacefully! Someone is threatening his status, which is also a spur to him!
Furthermore, if the future prince is really unable to bear the heavy responsibility and his skills are not as good as others, it is not impossible for Li Xiang to replace him with someone else.
In an imperial family, family ties are always at the back of the list.
The eighth prince, Li Sheng, was born to Yin Lihua, the ninth prince, Li Zhi, was born to the eldest grandson Wugao, and the tenth prince, Li Kai, was also the youngest prince and was born to Wu Meiniang.
"The eldest daughter Li Li is canonized as Princess Changle, Li Su is Princess Ning, Li Qing is Princess Huo, Li Qi is Princess Xincheng, Li Ying is Princess Pingyuan, Li Xuan is Princess Pingyang, Li Xi is Princess Chen, and Li Yan
She is Princess Qi, Li Ying is Princess Taiping, Li E is Princess Wencheng, Li Yi is Princess Yaocha, Li Jing is Princess Anle, and Li Jun is Princess Ningding."
Among them, Princess Taiping was born to Si Lili, Princess Wencheng was born to Lu Le, Princess Yaocha was born to Shang Xiufang, Princess Anle was born to Mu Nihuang, and Princess Ningding was born to Xiao Qiao. These princesses
They are still young now, no more than 3 years old.
After the royal family is enthroned, the next step is the heroes.
This is when the ministers are most concerned about it. Although the position of the prince is also of concern to them, Li Xiang is still in his prime. If they think about it so much now, it will really hurt their heads.
Don't want it anymore.
"Confess Li Jing the title of Marquis of Wen, the Third Generation, Minister of the Ministry of War, Grand Bachelor of the Cabinet, and Chief Taibao."
In terms of the title system, Li Xiang did not make any major changes. He still decided to follow the Qin and Han system and adopt twenty-level military merit titles, with the highest being twenty and the lowest being one. From top to bottom, they are:
Hou, Guanneihou, the chief of the concubine, the chief of the concubine of the Si chariot, the great superior, the young superior, right watch, middle watch, left watch, right concubine chief, left concubine chief, fifth official, public chariot, public official, official official
, doctor, no change, hairpin curled up, made from the top, official.
Among them, Liehou is divided into County Hou, Xianghou, Neixiang Hou, Tinghou, and Neitinghou. Generally speaking, the fiefdom of a County Marquis is a county, the fiefdom of a Xianghou is a township, and the fiefdom of a Tinghou is a township.
Village; as for Neixianghou and Neitinghou, it means the princes in the city. They have no fiefdom, only food households, and can collect rent and food rent tax.
The next-highest military title, Marquis of Guannei, has no fiefdom, has a tenant, and can pay food and rent taxes.
Only those with the highest military rank, the princes, could have fiefs.
Different from the military knighthoods in the past, civil servants can also be knighted if they have performed good enough political achievements. In troubled times, soldiers need stimulation, and civil servants also need to be stimulated. However, the standard interpretation of political achievements and knighthoods rests with the emperor.
all.
Li Jing's Marquis of Wen is followed by the third generation, which means that within three generations, the title will not be downgraded. After the third generation, the title will automatically be lowered by one level each time it is passed down.
After being passed down to Tinghou, he can only be promoted back unless he has made great achievements.
Of course, apart from the thrones that were passed down only to the royal family and the abolished public titles, the title of Marquis Wen is already the highest-ranking county marquis. When it is reduced to the lowest rank, it will take many generations.
Got it!
However, if we continue to cooperate in issuing push orders in the future, we won’t be able to spread the word much.
In terms of the official system, Li Xiang decided to abandon the system of three ministers and nine ministers and implement the system of six ministers. Before ascending the throne and proclaiming himself emperor, Li Xiang discussed with ministers such as Guan Zhong and Wang Meng and further improved the six ministers system.
There are six ministries in the center, which is equivalent to dividing the power of the prime minister equally into the hands of six people. In a sense, the six people are all prime ministers. Above them, there are three ministers (grand master, Taifu, Taibao), three orphans (young masters)
(Shi, Shaofu, Shaobao) is the emperor's assistant officer. He has a lofty position, but there is no fixed number of staff and no specific responsibilities. In fact, it is a false title. He is treated as a minister and given an official position or a gifted official. He is awarded the title when he is born and when he dies.
Gift.
The six-ministry system is implemented at the central level and a cabinet is established, while the local level remains unchanged for the time being. If everything is changed at once, it will easily cause too much fluctuation. Once the central government has done it, the local level can take its time.
Li Jing used the merits of this battle to build his foundation. Not only did he get the position of one of the six ministers, he was also granted the title of a Taibao, one of the three orphans. This configuration was almost the best in the thatched cottage.
However, the ministers can also roughly see that Li Jing, who has returned to the central government, will most likely not go to the battlefield again for a long time, unless someone appears in the army who can compete with him in all aspects.
After all, through the Battle of Yizhou and the battle of sending Li Cunxu's light cavalry back to aid Sizhou, Li Jing had already pulled the other governors behind. If he continues to be sent to fight in the north and south, it will inevitably be suspected that his achievements will shake the emperor in the future.
.
But even so, Li Jing is now one of the tallest people in the court.
"Confess Wang Meng the title of Marquis of Dongxiang, the third generation, Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, Grand Scholar of the Cabinet, and Grand Master."
Wang Meng's configuration, except that he is one level behind Li Jing in terms of title, has a county marquis and a rural marquis, and the other configurations are very different!
Obviously, in the future, these two people will be the leaders of civil and military affairs in the court.
