That year, that cicada, that sword

Chapter 1267

When the new emperor came to the throne, the first major event was to change the year name.

Since the beginning of the dynasty, Daqi has experienced three reign titles, namely Huanglong, Taiping, and Taiping.Great Qi Taizu Gao Emperor Xiao Yu was in power for 30 years, and the first ten years of the founding of the country was Huanglong. The government was handed over to Queen Lin Yinping and the grown-up prince Xiao Xuan. For this reason, the reign title was changed again, from Huanglong to Taiping, and the Blue-Han faction continued until the 20th year of Taiping.

After Xiao Yu abdicated, Xiao Xuan succeeded to the throne as Emperor Taizong and changed the year name from Taiping to Taiping, meaning to inherit the peace of the world. It has been 24 years so far.

Because Xiao Bai's succession time is too short, the reign name has not been changed yet, so Daqi only has three reign names, but now the fourth reign name will be ushered in soon.

As for what year name Xiao Zhinan would choose, it was supposed to be drawn up by the Ministry of Rites, but Xiao Zhinan decided to choose it himself. Throughout history, there are many precedents for emperors to change several year names according to their own preferences, so the year name was determined by the emperor. The decision is also reasonable, and Xie Suqing, who is the Minister of Rites, has no objection.

For this reason, Xiao Zhinan also searched the allusions in the study of Zhugong for a long time, and after discussing with Xu Beiyou, he finally chose "Jingyu" as the new name.Among them, the word "Jing" means pacification and pacification, which symbolizes that during Xiao Zhinan's administration, the imperial court quelled the rebellion of the San Francisco. The word "Yu" naturally means the universe. The word "yu" refers to the territory of the country, and the combination of the two characters means to put down domestic rebellions.

Xu Beiyou had no objection to this, so Xiao Zhinan set Jingyu as the new year name to succeed Taiping.

As for other things, Xiao Zhinan has already roughly arranged the arrangements, mainly the distribution of the meritorious officials. Although it has not been officially announced to the world, it has already been decided.

The first of them is Xu Beiyou. Although Xu Beiyou and Xiao Zhinan are already husband and wife, husband and wife are one body, and Xu Beiyou is a person who has proved the opportunity to ascend to the ascension. The most astonishing reward came out.

First of all, Xu Beiyou was named the King of Wei, No. 1 among the kings, ranked first among all the kings, and had four privileges, namely: not worshiping the king, not being famous in praise, not being courteous when entering the court, The sword goes to the temple.

To explain it in detail, not worshiping the king means that when facing the king, you don't have to bow down.

Zanbai Buming means that when courtiers pay homage to the emperor, the Zanbai officials are not allowed to call him by his name directly, and only call him an official position. The general asks to see you", instead of mentioning Xu Beiyou's name.

Entering the court without trending, means entering the court without rushing.The courtiers must step up to show respect when they enter the pilgrimage, and it is a special treatment for the emperor to the ministers if they do not walk into the pilgrimage.

Going up to the palace with a sword means that ministers who have obtained the emperor's dispensation can go to court with a sword, which is regarded as a great privilege.

Ordinary kings and nobles who can get any of the four honors are regarded as a great favor, but Xu Beiyou has all four honors in one body, which is not much better than the power ministers of the previous dynasties who emptied the emperor .

If these are just false names rather than real power, then the rewards that follow will be real power.First of all, Xu Beiyou's title of King of Wei is not Xiao Mahe's title of King of Yan.Secondly, the imperial court did not send officials to the Wei Kingdom. Xu Beiyou held the military and political power, and he could appoint officials on his own to command the army.

Under such circumstances, Xu Beiyou's power is even greater than that of Wei Wang Xiaojin back then.

In addition to Xu Beiyou, there are two princes and four county kings with different surnames. Two of the princes are Yan Wang Xiao Mahe and Liang Wang Xiao Quji. When Xiao Zhinan was still the regent princess, they had already been named princes , and let the world know that after ascending to the throne, it is nothing more than being crowned again in the name of the emperor, but the two cannot be compared with Xu Beiyou. Wang Baiye was a vassal king. After the San Francisco rebellion, except for the special case of Xu Beiyou, the imperial court would not repeat the same mistakes and set up a vassal king, so the two could only be princes, without fiefs, and lived in the imperial capital for a long time.

Among them, Xiao Mohe was in charge of the infantry and commanded the yamen and the clan's mansion. Xiao Quji was still recovering from his injuries. After he recovered from his injuries, he would succeed Wei Wuji and Zhao Wuji in charge of the Chinese army battalion that defended the imperial capital.

Next are four kings with different surnames, all of them are county kings, but they are not hereditary successors. They will be reduced to state dukes in the next generation, and then passed on from generation to generation as state dukes, because the titles of the four county kings are Each carried a word "Ping", and was called "Siping County King" by the ruling and opposition parties. They were Dongping County King Zha Qing, Xiping County King Zhang Wubing, and Beiping County King Zhao Wuji. After he was made King of Wei, Xiao Zhinan decided to make Wei Wuji King of Nanping County. After all, he was also one of the great heroes who pacified Jiangnan.

At this time, the war is over, Jiange, Jiangling, Shanzhong and other three major camps will be abolished one after another, and the three major seal officials will also return to the court to report on their duties one after another. Xu Beiyou's Taibao went to the northeast to serve as the left governor of the right army.Zao Wou-ki still served as the Governor of the Metropolitan, and he was awarded the title of Shao Fu. Wei Wuji was guilty of meritorious service. Shangshu, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites Xie Suqing was changed to Shangshu of the Ministry of Officials. As for the former Shangshu of the Ministry of Officials, it is Han Xuan, the chief assistant of the cabinet today.However, after Xiao Zhinan ascended the throne, the old man will resign as Minister of the Ministry of Officials and Chief Assistant of the Cabinet, and Xie Suqing will take over as Chief Assistant of the Cabinet.

What's more, Sun Shaotang, the former left governor of the army, will be granted the title of British Duke and transferred to be the left governor of the rear army.Yu Kuang, the former governor of the left army of the rear army, was granted the title of Tang Guogong and transferred to the left governor of the former army.

The last one is Zha Qing, the king of Dongping County, who will go to the northwest to take over the position of the left commander of the left army.

Going down, many generals such as Min Chun, Bai Yu, Wen Ci, Li Yanliang, etc. also have their own rewards, but Xiao Zhinan no longer has to personally intervene, and after the draft is made by the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, it can be submitted to Xiao Zhinan for review.

As for the others, there has not been much change. In addition to the first assistant Xie Suqing and the second assistant Wei Wuji, there are two cabinet members, Li Zhenji and Zhao Zongxian, two veteran ministers.On the side of the Supervisor of Rituals, Zhang Baisui is still in charge of the chief eunuch who holds the seal, and at the same time in charge of the secret guard house, Zhang Bao is the chief pen holder, and there are two eunuchs who hold the pen, Chen Zhijin and Sun Zhihong, of which Chen Zhijin is also in charge The Tiance Mansion in charge of the palace guards.

There is one governor and five left governors in the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, four cabinet members, four chief eunuchs, plus two reigning princes, as well as Xu Beiyou and Xiao Zhinan's couple. The real core of entitlement.
