Han Hai Tang Ergui

Chapter 495 Do You Want A Three-Piece Suit?
Zhang Zhao said that if you let everyone sit and talk about the great affairs of the country, it would be really talking.

The crowd was right next to the Temple of the 24th Emperor of the Tang Dynasty outside the Suzaku Gate, and the inner three floors and the outer three floors were full of people.

In addition to the civil and military officials from Liangguo, there are also officials at all levels in Chang'an City, as well as officials, various business associations, elders, representatives of local gentry, and scholars who have mastered the Second Classic.

In addition to them, Zhang Zhao arranged two thousand regrettable soldiers and generals from Zuo Yu Linwei to guard them.

The guards will be on the outside, and they are the residents of Chang'an who are watching the excitement. There are as many as 30,000 people, and there are still people rushing over.

Fortunately, it is as big as Chang'an City. Although many places are deserted, it is spacious enough.

The residents of Chang'an in the outskirts actually couldn't see anything, and they couldn't hear clearly.

They could only hear a sound of cheering, and after a while someone shouted 'wind', and after a while, someone shouted and danced on the mountain.

As for the representatives of Chang'an officials and civilians who were put into the inner circle, in fact, only a very small number of them could go not far from Zhang Zhao's side and really understand what they were discussing.

However, no matter they were able to see Zhang Zhao, or they could only see a lonely Chang'an person from a distance, they were all so excited that they couldn't help themselves, as if they really participated in the discussion of the national affairs.

Perhaps when these people get old, they will brag to their descendants with sparkling eyes that they discussed the country with His Majesty the Heavenly King back then, right?

The first thing to discuss was whether to maintain the blood food of the 24th Emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

Because the blood food is a symbol of the existence of the Sheji Ancestral Temple, and its significance is very important.

If Zhang Zhao agrees, it means that in the new dynasty established by Zhang Zhao, the ancestors of the Zhang family will enjoy this country together with Li Tang's 24 emperors.

For people at this time, they are very concerned about this matter, even if they have a very close relationship, they will not agree easily.

But what does Zhang Zhao say? Although he has been traveling for 14 years, he is still more influenced by later generations in this aspect and doesn't care that much.

So, Zhang Zhao only thought for a while before agreeing.

"The grace of the heavenly king is higher than the sky, and the righteousness is deeper than the sea. The whole Li family in a certain Longxi will always remember the great kindness of the heavenly king." Li Shouling pulled Li Congyi and knelt down with a plop.

Immediately afterwards, all the surrounding people with the blood of the Li family knelt respectfully and kowtowed three times to Zhang Zhao.

From now on, the 24 emperors in the Tang family temple can legally obtain blood food.

Even people with identities like Li Shouling and Li Congyi can offer sacrifices to the God of Sheji, Earth and Valley once a year.

The second thing is more important, that is, since Zhang Zhao entered the Central Plains and returned to the country before the 24th emperor of the Tang Dynasty, then this legal system comes from the Jinshan Great Liang Kingdom of the Western Han Dynasty, which was established by Zhang Zhao's father Zhang Chengfeng. It can't be used anymore.

Because Zhang Zhao's current status is a loyal minister who led Hexi, Longyou, Anxi, and Beiting back to the country, and a minister of the Tang Dynasty, how could he call himself the King of Great Liang and use the country title of Jinshan in the Western Han Dynasty?

If it were that simple, he could continue to use the title of King Liang to campaign eastward.

But how should I put it, Yelu Deguang claimed to be the emperor of the Central Plains, and Zhang Zhao went to conquer as a Liang king, which seemed to be a bit dwarfing himself.

Moreover, this is not conducive to Zhang Zhao's mobilization of the people in Guanzhong. In the end, in reality, if Zhang Zhao returns to the country with such great achievements, isn't there any reward?

When the atmosphere became a little quiet, it was Li Shouling who stood up.

Most of the civil and military people around Zhang Zhao were from the Liang Kingdom, so it seemed a little bad for them to come to mention it, but Li Shouling brought Li Congyi, Zhao Ying, and An Shoujie together, which was much more legitimate.

Li Shouling coughed lightly, glanced at the family temple where the 24 Emperors of the Tang Dynasty were enshrined in the distance, then turned his head to salute Zhang Zhao, and then bowed to the people around him.

"My lords, at this critical moment of life and death when the northern captives invaded the south and China fell, I, the Li family, should have shouldered the important task of reviving the righteous soldiers and driving out the northern captives, but my descendants did not live up to their expectations. .

Fortunately, the Heavenly King returned from the west, with [-] soldiers here. I think only the Heavenly King can do this great cause of expelling the northern captives and recreating the kingly spirit of the Central Plains. "

When Li Shouling said this, the eyes of the civil and military men of Liangguo beside Zhang Zhao were brightened.

That is, the throne of the emperor is good!Now that the king of heaven has become the emperor, he doesn't need to feud all his ministers. You must know that although Zhang Zhao established the Liang Kingdom, he was not conferred a knighthood, and everyone is thinking about it.

When Zhang Zhao saw it, he hurried out and waved his hands, preventing everyone from persuading them to come in.

This is not the right time. One second ago, he returned loyally to the country, and then he became the emperor himself. It is too eager. Do you want to lose your face?
In this way, wouldn't it be a joke to say that the one who expelled the northern captives would be the emperor.

Zhang Xichong also felt that proclaiming himself emperor was too much fun, so he thought about it and said to Zhang Zhao.

"Nowadays there is no master in the world. Since the king of heaven belongs to the great dynasty and is supported by the people of Guanzhong, Shuofang, Longyou, and Anxi, it is better to be called the king of Liang of the great dynasty. Following the story of Emperor Taizong Wen in the past, he opened the Tiance Mansion and raised righteousness to fight against thieves." .”

Now it's Zhao Ying's turn to disagree, "Heavenly King led 3 million people to return to the country, such a great achievement, naturally he will be promoted to the first rank of prince.

The name of the King of Liang is not an ancient country, so it is not enough to show the prestige of the Heavenly King. I heard that the Heavenly King is the descendant of the Zhang family in Nanyang. "

"You can't be king of Chu!" Fan Zhi shook his head like a rattle.

"Nowadays, Ma Xifan has been separated from the Wu'an army and is called the king of Chu. The family of the heavenly king has moved to Dunhuang for hundreds of years, so it is not appropriate to use Chu.

One sees that the Heavenly King intends to bring order out of chaos, and change the wishes of the warriors below to subdue the superior, cruel and bloodthirsty ethos, it is better to be promoted to the King of Zhou, to show that my king restores the rituals of the Zhou Dynasty, and uses rituals to rule the world. "

"Inappropriate! The country has been passed down for 800 years in two weeks. My king has the ambition to sweep away the Liuhe. How can I use the title of the former dynasty?"

Although Yan Jin is a warrior, he is still very sensitive to this kind of thing, so he immediately said no.

If he said this, then the title of Qin would no longer be used.

Everyone was in trouble immediately, but Guo Tiance's eyes lit up. As the roundworm in Zhang Tianwang's stomach, he instantly thought of the most suitable country name.

"The King of Heaven, Hexi has always been respected by Liangzhou. Liangzhou was called Yongliang in ancient times. Yongguo is an ancient country that existed since the Shang Dynasty. Yong Wei."

what!When everyone heard it, they all felt that the word Yong was the best, and they all agreed.

The name of the country is certain, and the next is the political system. Before that, Zhang Zhao's Liangguo as a whole was actually created by him indiscriminately according to the model of the later Ming Dynasty.

It's not that Daming's set is not good as a whole, but it's too advanced.

Because of the system of the Ming Dynasty, it was the result of a substantial development of literacy.

During the Ming Dynasty, although the proportion of scholars in the world was not high, the number was quite large, and a large number of knowledgeable officials could be pulled out at will.

But it is not possible now, movable type printing has not yet appeared, and reading is still the monopoly of a very small number of people, and there is no mature selection mechanism and so many people who are qualified for the position.

Therefore, the administrative aspect of Liangguo has almost become a contract system.

The left minister and the right minister are equivalent to each contracting part of the government affairs. Except for the Ma Zheng and the Tiangong Institute of the Ministry of Industry, which Zhang Zhao personally supervised, they are all in this subcontracting mode.

Therefore, Zhang Zhao could only follow the habit at this time and restore the system of three provinces and six ministries in the Tang Dynasty.

The former two are equivalent to the Ming Dynasty's Lijian, and the latter is the Ming Dynasty's bachelor system.

And according to the practice at this time, Zhang Zhao also established the Privy Council.

Just change Guo Tiance's Qiongming Yuan to the Privy Council. The Privy Council is in charge of military and state affairs, and it is the direct department that controls the army. This is more convenient for Zhang Zhao to control.

As a result, the political system changed from Zhang Zhao's subcontracting of the left and right ministers to the four ministers of Zhongshu Ling, Menxia Shizhong, Shang Shuling, and Privy Envoy.

wrong!There are far more than four ministers, because there can be two Zhongshu Ling, two servants, and unlimited number of deputy privy envoys, it all depends on Zhang Zhao's wishes.

The flexible number of prime ministers is more conducive to the king's control of the situation.

As for the other six ministries and five supervisory institutes, they all came according to the regulations of the Tang Dynasty, and the Taipu Temple, Taichang Temple, Dali Temple, etc. are also in business as usual.

After the overall establishment was completed, Zhang Zhao immediately appointed Fan Zhi and He Ning as Zhongshuling, his father-in-law Cao Yuanzhong as his servant, Zhang Xichong as Shangshu Zuopushe, and Zhao Ying as Minister of the Ministry of Officials.

Uncle Song Shantong stayed in Liangzhou as a colleague of Zhongshu.

Pei Yuan served as a servant of the sect and stayed behind in Lingzhou, Shuofang.

The privy envoys are concurrently served by Zhang Zhao himself, with Guo Tiance and Yan Jin as the privy envoys, temporarily setting up a team.

The generals system followed the example of Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty in opening Tiance Admiral's Mansion, and temporarily concentrated the power of the Privy Council and the Ministry of War in Tiance Mansion to meet the needs of wartime.

At the same time, Zhang Zhao enfeoffed Li Shouling as Duke of Longxi County and Li Congyi as Duke of Jinyang County in Jin Dynasty. They each gave land and house property to continue the incense of the Tang Dynasty.

As for the rest of the civil and military officials who became nobles, they had to wait until they defeated the Khitans before they could be rewarded.

After the discussion, on the third day, Zhang Zhaocai came to the Suzaku Gate again, and offered sacrifices to the 24th Emperor of the Tang Dynasty again. After a whole set of ceremony, in front of the 24th Emperor's throne, Zhang Zhao officially added his official position as:
Chief Baikui, established the Tiance Mansion to supervise Chinese and foreign military affairs, appointed the prime minister, the general of the Tiance Mansion, and the minister's decree.

Since it is not usurping the throne, there is no need for the three-piece suit of entering the court, not being famous, and not being famous for worshiping.

So far, Zhang Zhao has gained ninety-nine percent of the imperial power, and just waiting for him to drive north to Khitan, he can step on the corpse of his righteous brother Yelu Deguang and ascend to the throne of the world's supreme.
