Yue Fei's battle report has been sent back. At this time, the Jin army has completely ended all the wars in the states. After the war, the next step is to enter the construction and cultivation stage.
However, although the report of Yue Fei's victory has been sent back, he and his army have not withdrawn. Guangcheng Pass has been destroyed. When this pass is rebuilt, a strong army must be stationed to block it.
this gap.
After all the wars are over, the next step is to reward the generals who have made great contributions in this war, big and small.
First of all, Li Xiang himself, the three titles of King of Jin, Prime Minister, and Grand Master were added together. Li Xiang was actually granted no reward, and if he went up to the next level, he would be the emperor.
Therefore, he could only reward some food, money and the like. Moreover, Li Xiang didn't care about these. The so-called rewards were just rewards he gave to himself and his subordinates. The reason why he asked Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty to issue the decree was just for excuses.
Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty just made this reward legal.
Of course, during this period, an interesting thing also happened. In the imperial decree to reward Li Xiang, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty added two additional contents: the award of nine tins and the words "If you don't follow the rules when entering the court, go to the palace with swords and shoes".
Just kidding, Li Xiang will naturally not accept this kind of naked calculation and temptation.
"Jiuxi" means "nine gifts", which are nine kinds of ritual vessels given by the emperor to his ministers, which are the highest courtesy. According to the ancient book "Book of Rites", these nine things are: carriages and horses, clothes, hairpins,
Zhuhu, Nabi, bow and arrow, ax and axe, Huben and Lexian each have different meanings.
The objects of Jiuxi each have a symbolic meaning, and they are used by the emperor to commend ministers with high moral character, extraordinary ability, and outstanding contributions. Ministers who have received Jiuxi not only have equipment similar to that of the emperor, but also have powers and identities similar to that of the emperor.
Equivalent to "Vice Emperor".
In ancient times, the overlords of the Spring and Autumn Period, such as Duke Huan of Qi, met with the princes in Kuiqiu, and the Emperor of Zhou gave him bows and arrows and chariots and horses. Duke Wen of Jin defeated Chu, and the Emperor of Zhou gave him bows, arrows, chariots and horses, 第鬯, and Gui Zan. These things represent
Emperor Zhou's recognition of their overlord status represented the emperor's fight against dissatisfaction.
At the end of the Western Han Dynasty, Wang Mang was the first to accept Jiuxi, and Wang Mang eventually usurped the Han Dynasty and proclaimed himself emperor. Wang Mang's Jiuxi objects were slightly different from those recorded in the "Book of Rites". They were: chariots and horses
, clothes, 第鬯, Zhuhu, Nabi, bow and arrow, ax and axe, tiger ben, and Gui Zan. The difference is that "Le County" is replaced by "Gui Zan", and Gui Zan is an ancient jade-handled wine vessel.
The nine-xi items that Cao Cao accepted were the same as those recorded in the "Book of Rites", but with the addition of Gui Zan, which was strictly counted as ten items, but the Gui Zan was counted as a by-product of the 第鬯, that is to say, the wine glass and wine were counted as
One piece, so it is still nine tins.
After Wang Mang's precedent, when the imperial power declined, Jiuxi became a symbol for powerful ministers to usurp power.
However, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty gave Jiuxi, but this thing is not so easy to receive. If you have no intention of usurping the throne, or do not meet the conditions for usurping the throne, then accepting Jiuxi will only be harmful rather than beneficial.
For example, during the Shu Han Dynasty, Li Yan once urged Zhuge Liang to accept Jiuxi, but he was rejected by the sober-minded Zhuge Liang. He said righteously that it is not effective to attack the thieves now, and the confidant has not answered. It is not the right thing to sit on one's own dignity. If you destroy it,
Wei Zhanrui, the emperor returned to his former residence and was promoted together with the other disciples. Although he could receive ten lives, what happened to Jiuxie?
Now Li Xiang thinks that he is not strong enough to fight against the world on his own, and he has not yet reached the conditions to kick Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty and take charge of his own affairs. And he can eat as much food as he wants. If he is not strong enough, Li Xiang will naturally not be able to do so.
Will do things that shouldn't be done.
As for the imperial edict of Liu Xie, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, "If you don't go to court, go to the palace with swords and shoes", if Li Xiang accepts it, with the lessons learned from Fatty Dong, this will not directly give the world's princes a reason to hold a third princes alliance conference.
!
After Li Xiang, this is the reward for the generals who participated in the war.
The first was Bai Qi. In addition to the original appointment as the Governor of Yongzhou, he was also granted the title of General Zhennan and Marquis of Yangting.
The title system of the Eastern Han Dynasty has three levels: king, duke and marquis. Needless to say, there are two levels: king and duke. If the people under him dare to ask for it, Li Xiang doesn't mind giving it, but he also won't let this person look at it again.
To tomorrow's sun.
The princes are further divided into liehou and Guanneihou. The difference is that the liehous have fiefdoms and settlements, and their fiefdoms and settlements can be passed down to future generations, while the Guanneihous do not have these privileges. If further subdivided, the lieutenants can do so.
Depending on the size of the towns, they were divided into county marquises, township marquises and pavilion marquises, and meritorious ministers and honorable ministers of different ranks were awarded to them.
The highest level of reward this time is Tinghou. After all, there will be many wars in the future. Leaving the county and township levels can also avoid the situation of being unable to enfeoff subordinates in the future. In the feudal era,
Many times, if one day the opponent's generals are unable to be sealed, then it will probably be the point where the cunning rabbit will die and the lackey will be cooked.
Su Lie, in addition to the original title of Commander-in-Chief of Liangzhou, was also granted the titles of General Anxi and Marquis Ting.
Compared with the first two, Yue Fei is a little behind. Although he is also the governor of a state, he is in name only. At the same time, he is also one level behind in terms of title, and he is named Marquis of Guannei.
Guo Ziyi named him General Yingyang and Marquis Ting.
Ma Kui was posthumously named General Fubo and Marquis of Xinting, and his title was inherited by his son.
Xing Tian made him the leading general and the Marquis of Guannei.
Feng Yi, deputy governor of Yongzhou, general in charge of conquering Shu, and Marquis of Guannei.

Li Xiang also decided to reward Ma Kui after careful consideration. The word "General Fubo" has a very special meaning to the Ma family. After naming Ma Kui as General Fubo, he has the intention to further conquer the generals of the Ma family.
idea.
The promotion of Ma Kui's title to the first level of Tinghou with Bai Qi, Su Lie and others is also to tell the subordinate generals that as long as they make meritorious service, they will get no less than others, and they should have more.
There will definitely be no shortage of them.
After all, at this stage, Li Xiang has a lot of surrendered generals. A series of surrendered generals such as Ma Teng's force and Yang Jian's force are now also part of Li Xiang's important forces. Only by making these surrendered generals feel hope
, only by seeing the rising channel can they be stimulated to serve Li Xiang better.
Also, Zheng Lun and Chen Qi, who were sent over by Xue Rengui not long ago, have not agreed to join Li Xiang just because their families are still in Yuan Shao's hands.
But this is not a problem for Li Xiang. This kind of thing can be redeemed through negotiation, or he can go to the trouble of stealing the person out of the floating house.
Of course, there is one last way, which is to try to make Yuan Shao think that Zheng Lun and Chen Qi have rebelled and implicated their family members. If all their family members died in Yuan Shao's hands, even if it was just for revenge, Zheng Lun and Chen Qi would
