The big man is on the run

Chapter 71
Besides, Yang Ding handed over the seven-star sword and returned it to the tent.

Yang Ding wanted to show off, holding his wine glass reserved for a while, before he said: "The Son of Heaven intends to grant marquises to several heroes who contributed to the battle of Zheng county. Dong Cheng and Zhang Ji already have marquises of Ting, and they will further confer titles of township marquises. It's Yang Feng and I's turn."

"The white wave thief is also worthy to be tied with the general?"

"Exactly, what is Yang Feng? How can a waste like a pig and a dog stand side by side with a general?"

"If the battle of Zheng County hadn't been for the mainstay of the general, it would be impossible for the officers and soldiers to persevere."

The generals who had been impatient for a long time started booing, but Yang Ding laughed.

"I am the Marquis of Xiang, so naturally I am not on the same level as Marquis of Ting."

The well-thought-out general put forward a new suggestion: "Could it be a fraud? Let's attack Duan Yan without authorization, so we must hate the emperor and want to lure the general to chop off his head."

"What nonsense!" Yang Ding was a little displeased, "Just now the sword in the hands of the emperor didn't cut me. Bing, come back after finishing the Marquis ceremony."

Yang Ding's words directly stunned the generals, really Feng Xianghou?Isn't the court playing tricks?
This is somewhat eye-catching, this is a hereditary township.

"Be careful, general. Since leaving Chang'an, there have been rumors that the Son of Heaven is full of tricks. If he only brought a hundred soldiers, he would be taken down in an instant. It is useless at all."

"No." Yang Ding's expression was also a little weird, "The court said that they can take a thousand horses, and other generals can only bring five hundred horses. A grand ceremony will be held in the open space to mourn the fallen soldiers and reward meritorious officials. and you can go.

Their army set off and continued eastward, why do we think the court doesn't care.You can continue playing Duan Yao, or you can follow up, as long as you don't vote for Li Jue. "

"The general brings one thousand horses, Zhang Ji, Dong Cheng, Yang Feng, and the Son of Heaven each have five hundred horses, and the others also have two thousand horses, so why don't you just take all these little five thousand soldiers over there."

"Idiot, take them all over here, what should I do if Duan Wei comes out of the city as soon as the camp is pulled out here?"

The generals quarreled endlessly, but finally a sensible person gave a proper suggestion.

"General, according to the agreement, take a thousand cavalry over there. The distance should be farther away, and the sentry cavalry should spread out a little wider. With this distance, there will be no mistakes."

Yang Ding thought for a while, and finally nodded.

"But we can't rush there just yet."

"Why?" Yang Ding's words made people feel uneasy.

Yang Ding explained: "The ceremony has to be held before dawn, and the time can't be wrong. This place is nearly [-] miles away from the place where the ceremony will be held. If we set off at night, it would be even worse if someone with evil intentions was ambushed halfway. "

"What I mean is, why don't you just go there the day before and set up a camp. You have to rest in shifts at night, and your horses don't undress their saddles. If something goes wrong, it's easy to say whether you stay in the camp or rush out."

"The general is right!"

Yang Ding's words convinced the crowd, he was very thoughtful, and setting off temporarily to discredit him was indeed not as safe as setting out to investigate the terrain and build a camp the day before.

Just for one night.

As long as there are complete camps and trenches, even if there are 1000 people, it is impossible for the official army to break through at night.

Because attacking tough areas is inherently difficult, let alone night battles, there are not many soldiers capable of night battles. If the entire army is forced to fight at night, there is a high probability that it will collapse on its own due to various situations.

If there is an emergency, it is safest to stick to the camp and wait for reinforcements at an agreed time. If the situation is more urgent, you can also rush out directly with cavalry.

Anyway, the sentry cavalry spread so widely that it was impossible to be surrounded on all sides.

As for the imperial court, the imperial court is very sincere this time, and it made it clear that everyone confers titles, except Liehou and several Guanneihous, if you don’t come, you will definitely not have you.

If you come, it doesn’t matter if you camp a little farther away. Anyway, the grand ceremony will be held in an open space that does not touch the two sides, and you will not be outflanked and raided openly.

Yang Ding really had no ability to resist the title, after thinking about it again and again, he felt that it was appropriate, so he agreed.

——At worst, turn around and run if the situation is not right.

As for Liu Yi, wait for him to return to the camp on horseback under the guard of Wang Yue, Hu Che'er and others with the Seven Star Sword in hand.

Just when I was about to say "The Big Dipper is high, the Son of Heaven carries a knife at night", but I received a summons from Dong Wan.

"The nobleman is with Grandpa, waiting to see me?"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Seeing the uneasy look of the maid beside Dong Wan, Liu Yi thought for a moment and said directly, "Okay, I'll go right away."

Liu Yi looked back, and when he went out, there was no civil servant by his side, and no one wanted to talk to anyone.

This couldn't help but make him cling to the rein and stare blankly for a moment.

As a kind of experiment or an icebreaker in the reform of the official system, Liu Yi re-established the secretary supervisor, combining the functions of drafting imperial edicts and serving as staff officers.

The secretarial supervisor was established in the second year of Yanxi (159). It belonged to Taichang Temple at that time and was responsible for the royal family's records. It was later abolished.The newly reset Secretary Prison, except for the same name, is completely different from before.

Maybe it can be regarded as "Tuogu reform" in a certain sense?
It wasn't a bold attempt, and it didn't touch anyone's interests. The Eastern Han Empire has been in operation for this year, and the Shangshutai has begun to become a de facto government decision-making body. The so-called "Three Gongs and Nine Ministers System" only exists in name.

In other words, if the Taiwei Yang Biao, the head of the three princes, does not have the title of "Recording Ministers", he is just an empty Taiwei!
The reason why the steps are so small is firstly to test the reaction of the court officials, secondly because it is not sure whether Li Jue can really defeat Li Jue and return to Chang'an, and thirdly, these people in the secretary's prison, such as pure Wang Can, who was drafting the edict, Sima Zhi, who was preparing to be the censor, Fazheng, who advised on military strategy, and Yang Xiu, who communicated with government affairs, these people's qualifications are too shallow, and it is difficult for them to rise to the top position suddenly. Misfortune is not blessing.

Even the secretary Ling Zhongyou, if he continues to be in the Shangshutai to get his qualifications, it will take five or six years to get through. It's better to transfer to a new department and do some humble and powerful things.

In fact, according to the textbooks in his previous life, the official system has evolved from the "system of three officials and nine officials" to the "system of three provinces and six ministries".After Liu Yi's long-term observation, he has discovered that this is indeed inevitable in the evolution of history.

Because there is no need to invent!

Now the Shangshutai is in charge of the government, and the six Cao Shangshu under the Shangshutai have a rank of six hundred stones each.

Sangong Cao is in charge of the year-end performance appraisal of state and county officials; Libu Cao is in charge of elections and sacrifices; Min Cao is in charge of all construction and management of Yanchi gardens; Cao, in charge of judicial litigation affairs; Zhongdu official Cao, in charge of public security work such as water, fire, and thieves.

With a little modification, it is a proper six departments of officials, households, soldiers, criminals and criminals.

As for the three provinces, it is the necessary operation of the imperial power to check and balance Shangshutai's power separation. How could it be possible for you to monopolize the power with one institution?

It is necessary to separate the three steps of decision-making, deliberation, and execution. Therefore, if Li Jue is really defeated and a relatively stable political environment is established, Liu Yi will definitely do this step.The six ministries can be left alone, but the authority of the Shangshutai must be divided into three provinces, and their own people should be placed well, so as to completely control the government.

Of course, this will touch the interests of some gentry, such as the Hongnong Yang family. Yang Biao can even be the big Sima above the Sangong, but he must hand over the record of the book.

Of course the knife to kill must be held in one's own hands!
