Great Military Division

Chapter 260 Find a mascot for the new dynasty and truly compete with Chang'an Hanting!

"what?"

The two chatted for a while, Liu Bian frowned, and asked tentatively: "Feng Xiao, you came to find an orphan, what are you talking about?"

Guo Jia suddenly remembered: "Thanks to His Highness reminding, otherwise Jia almost delayed the business."

Liu Bian sat upright, waved his hand and said, "If you have any questions, just speak up."

Guo Jia paused for a moment: "His Royal Highness, according to Jia's understanding, the new emperor's ascension to the throne needs to be performed by the three masters to kick off the enthronement ceremony. After receiving the answer 'yes', the enthronement ceremony will officially begin."

"But."

Guo Jia frowned slightly, and said softly, "Your Highness doesn't seem to be planning to set up a third position."

Liu Bian frowned: "This"

At the same time, he secretly asked in his heart: "Teacher, must there be a Sangong?"

The Alliance of Military Advisors explained: "According to the normal enthronement process, it is natural to use Sangong's performance of "Shangshu Gu Ming" to kick off the new emperor's enthronement, but now the situation is special, so it is naturally handled according to special circumstances."

"Besides."

The Alliance of Military Advisors emphasized: "Shi Zixuan, who is in charge of etiquette, didn't even mention this point, and made it clear that it doesn't matter. In a sense, Master Bian is not the new emperor ascending the throne, but returning to the palace in his rightful place."

hiss-!
Liu Bian gasped: "Then what does Guo Jia mean?"

The Alliance of Military Advisors replied: "Since Guo Jia mentioned this matter, there must be his intentions, Lord Bian can test it out."

Liu Bian nodded in agreement.

Immediately.

His eyes fell on Guo Jia, and he asked curiously: "Gu really didn't plan to set up a third prince. As for the enthronement ceremony, Shi Zixuan is in charge of Gu's power. When Feng Xiao mentioned this, did he mean something?"

"Your Highness."

Guo Jia looked indifferent, and saluted: "Sangong is not only an official position, but also a symbol. If our Nanyang Hanting does not have Sangong, it will definitely fall behind the Chang'an Hanting, and Dong Zhuo may laugh at it."

Liu Bian naturally understood the symbolic meaning of the Sangong: "Fengxiao's words are reasonable, but now that he is enthroned, where can I find a worthy Sangong?"

Speaking of this, Guo Jia showed a knowing smile: "Your Highness, it is really a coincidence that just today, Yang Biao of the Hongnong Yang family appeared in our Nanyang."

At the beginning, when Dong Zhuo decided to move the capital, Yang Biao and Huang Wan tried their best to dissuade Dong Zhuo, which angered Dong Zhuo, so he was dismissed from his official position, and he never heard from him again. Unexpectedly, he suddenly appeared in Nanyang.

Liu Bian's eyes brightened: "Hongnong Yang, Yang Biao?"

Guo Jia nodded affirmatively: "Yes, it is this person."

It is worth mentioning that.

At the end of the Han Dynasty, there was not only one Yuan family with four generations and three princes, but also another four generations and three princes, which was the Hongnong Yang family known as Confucius in Kansai.

The inheritance of the Hongnong Yang family should start from its ancestor Chiquan Hou Yangxi.

Back then, Liu Bang once offered a reward to anyone who could win the head of Xiang Yu, he would be rewarded with a thousand pieces of gold, and he would be named as the Marquis of ten thousand households.

Therefore, the moment Xiang Yu fell, his head became a piece of cake.

The soldiers of the Han army rushed like wolves.

And finally.
The doctor rode Wang Yi (yì) and got Xiang Yu's head.

His body was divided into four pieces, which were snatched by Yang Xi, Lu Matong, Lu Sheng, and Yang Wu respectively.

Liu Bang kept his promise and enfeoffed all five of them as marquises, and divided them into five fiefdoms.

Yang Xi, as Marquis of Chiquan, became the ancestor of the Hongnong Yang family.

Of course, although Yang Xi was the founder of the Yang family, it was his great-grandson, Yang Chang, the prime minister of Emperor Zhaodi, who really made the Yang family famous all over the world.

And Yang Chang has another prominent identity, he is the son-in-law of Sima Qian, a great historian.

Sima Qian's family was a Taishi, a family of poems and books, and being able to marry the Sima family is enough to prove that the Hongnong Yang family has realized the transformation from a warrior to a hairpin family.

And his family passed down to the Eastern Han Dynasty.

The Hongnong Yang family was revived in the hands of Yang Zhen.

Young and eager to learn, Yang Zhen was well-read and well-known as a great scholar.

At that time, Confucian scholars regarded him as an idol and gave him a resounding title:

Kansai Confucius!

of course!

What Yang Zhen is most famous for is definitely not his Confucianism, but the good talk about "Four Knowledges".

Back then, on his way to become the prefect, he passed through Changyi County, and the county magistrate Wang Mi was his talented inspector in Jingzhou governor.

Wang Mi wanted to repay his kindness, so he visited late at night and presented Yang Zhen with ten catties of gold.

However, Yang Zhen was furious and resolutely refused to accept it: "The old man knows the king, but the king does not know the old man, why?"

But Wang Mi still insisted: "Mu Ye, the ignorant."

Yang Zhen said seriously: "God knows, God knows, I know, son knows, what is ignorance?"

Wang Mi left in shame.

"Book of the Later Han Dynasty Yang Zhen Biography" records: It is not too generous to make future generations known as the descendants of innocent officials!

The journey of Hongnong Yang's "Four Generations and Three Dukes" began since then.

After his son Yang Bing followed his father's "four knowledges", he left another famous saying:

"I am not confused by three things: wine, sex, and wealth."

Yang Bing's son, Yang Ci, took turns sitting in the positions of Sikong, Situ, and Taiwei during the period of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty.

And his son, Yang Biao, was Situ before he was deposed, and he was also a Sangong.

but
Although he belongs to the fourth generation and three princes, unlike the Yuan family's conspiracy and ambitions, the Hongnong Yang family created a noble and upright family tradition.

Throughout the history of the Han family, no matter how stupid and corrupt it is, no matter how ruthless it is to the Yang family, the Hongnong Yang family has never given up on the Han family. The Yang family has always been loyal to the Han court.

"what do you mean"

Previously, through the explanations of historians, Liu Bian had a superficial understanding of the aristocratic families in the late Han Dynasty.

Especially for the Hongnong Yang family mentioned by Guo Jia, he was extremely impressed.

"Your Highness."

Guo Jiayi bowed, and said solemnly: "Now our Nanyang Hanting can worship Yang Biao as the third prince, so at least in terms of momentum, it is not inferior to the Chang'an Hanting at all."

"More importantly, Yang Biao has a strong appeal in the hearts of scholars all over the world. If we have him as the Sangong in Nanyang Hanting, it will be more attractive to scholars."

Liu Bian frowned slightly.

On the surface, he was deep in thought, but in fact, he was communicating with the Military Division Alliance: "Teacher, what Guo Jia said is quite reasonable, should we consider pulling Yang Biao into the court?"

"But if he is pulled into the imperial court, will such a large family eventually become a pest like the Yuan family in Runan? After all, Sangong has the right to expropriate."

"Of course!"

Liu Bian had his own worries: "The most important thing is that once the Hongnong Yang family appears in Nanyang Hanting, he will definitely become the head of all officials. If he forms a party for personal gain, it will not be easy to handle."

Although it has been less than a year since Liu Bian traveled to this point, the things he has experienced are very bumpy, and he understands the horror of the aristocratic family even more, and he is quite afraid of it.

No matter how good Hongnong Yang's reputation is, with his power and reputation, it is hard not to guarantee that he will develop into a conspirator like Yuan Wei.

of course!

All of this is just Liu Bian's own speculation.

But for the Military Division Alliance, this is not a problem at all: "Master Bian can think so, and the experts are quite gratified. After all, the level of thinking about problems is different. This is a great improvement."

"but."

A mysterious turn of the military division alliance said: "Throughout the Hongnong Yang family in the Han Dynasty, there has never been a situation like Lord Bian, so there is no need to worry about this for the time being."

"As for whether the Hongnong Yang family will become a conspirator like the Yuan family in the future, experts in the alliance said that he has no chance at all. After Master Bian ascends the throne, he can abolish the right to eradicate Sangong, or add some restrictions."

"If the Sangong does not have the right to eliminate, his influence among the scholars will inevitably be greatly reduced. For Lord Bian's Nanyang Hanting, in a sense, Yang Biao has become a mascot and spokesperson."

hiss-!
Liu Bian suddenly realized, and took a sharp breath: "According to the experts, can Yang Biao be recruited as the mascot of Nanyang Hanting?"

The Military Division Alliance said with absolute certainty: "It won't work for someone else, but Yang Biao's words are completely fine. After all, Hongnong Yang's family style is absolutely loyal to the imperial power."

"Your Highness!"

"Your Highness?"

At this moment, seeing Liu Bian's long silence, Guo Jia couldn't help being impatient, and tried to shout.

Hearing the voice, Liu Bian came back to his senses: "Feng Xiao, have you discussed this matter with Shi Zixuan?"

Guo Jia bowed his head: "How dare you make decisions without authorization? If His Highness agrees, it won't be too late to discuss with Shi Zixuan."

Liu Bian was very satisfied with Guo Jia's answer, he nodded slowly, and immediately greeted, "Come here."

Squeak-!
From Zhu Tong pushing the door and entering, he bowed his body and cupped his hands: "Your Highness."

Liu Bian said bluntly: "Quickly call Shi Zixuan over, I have something important to discuss."

Zhu Tong cupped his hands: "Here."

Immediately.

Bow and exit the hall.

Not long after, Shi Zixuan came to the main hall and stepped forward: "My minister Shi Zixuan, see Your Highness."

Liu Bian waved his hand: "Get up."

Shi Zixuan nodded: "Thank you, Your Highness."

Liu Bian waved his hand to signal him to sit aside, and immediately cut to the chase: "Shi Taichang, Gu called you here today because we have something to discuss."

Shi Zixuan bowed his body and cupped his hands: "Your Highness, it doesn't matter what you say."

"Is such that."

Immediately, Liu Bian told the whole story about Yang Biao, and asked, "I don't know what Shi Taichang thinks? Has the process been decided now, and is it possible to increase it?"

There are only two days left before he ascends the throne and proclaims himself emperor.

At this time, Shi Zixuan's specific enthronement process must have been prepared. It would be more difficult to modify the process at will without seeking opinions.

but
However, Shi Zixuan's eyes brightened, and he was ecstatic: "Your Highness, it would be great if there are three princes to grant the seal."

Liu Bian frowned slightly: "Oh? Doesn't it affect our process?"

Shi Zixuan shook his head: "Actually, this process is necessary. I just want Tang Mao to do it for me. If there is a real Sangong, it will naturally be more in line with etiquette."

The two important processes of the enthronement ceremony are the reading of the policy text and the granting of the seal.

In particular, the conferring ceremony of the seal is a symbol of imperial orthodoxy.

How can Nanyang Hanting compete with Chang'an Hanting?

The most important thing, isn't there the Jade Seal that symbolizes orthodoxy?

So!
Shi Zixuan could omit other procedures, but he would never omit the ceremony of awarding the seal.

"Continued Hanshu · Etiquette Records" records: "After reading the policy, kneel on the east side of the Jade Seal of the Chuan Kingdom to accept the crown prince, that is, the emperor's throne."

Liu Bian secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "As long as it doesn't affect the process."

"Follow filial piety."

"exist."

Immediately, Liu Bian turned to Guo Jia: "I will leave the rest to you."

Guo Jiayi bowed: "Don't worry, Your Highness, I will leave it to you."

When the two of them left the main hall, the netizens in the live broadcast immediately boiled over:
"Fuck! This is the rhythm of enthronement and proclaiming the emperor live, not on TV."

"Honestly, my blood is boiling."

"Yang Biao confers the Jade Seal of the Kingdom to Lord Bian, awesome plus!"

"That's right! The most important thing about Master Bian's Nanyang Hanting is the Chuanguo Yuxi, so it must be more formal."

"Everything else can be omitted, but this awarding ceremony must be solemn."

"It is indeed necessary to have a Sangong who can stand up to the scene."

"If Dong Zhuo knew that Yang Biao had gone to Hanting in Nanyang, he would probably die of anger, right?"

"I don't know if I'm angry or not, but I'm sure it won't be easy."

"Hahaha!"

"."

At this moment, even the experts in the military counselor alliance couldn't help being excited: "Master Bian, our preliminary preparations have almost been completed. Starting tomorrow, we will prepare for the enthronement process."

"kindness."

Liu Bian nodded and let out a sigh of relief: "To be honest, I only took pictures in the emperor's clothes in the tourist area, but I haven't really worn the emperor's crown clothes yet."

The military division alliance said softly: "You will know when you try it tomorrow. The emperor's crown uniform is the most complicated, and every place is very particular. Ordinary people can't figure it out at all."

"From the color of the mianfu, how to wear it, the crown, clothes, shoes, and ribbons, etc., each has its own particularity. It is by no means comparable to what you wear when taking pictures in tourist attractions in modern society."

"According to the interpretation of historical experts, the emperor's crown"

"."

*****
Wancheng.

On the busy street.

A young man in a plain shirt and a light blue round-neck robe came out from the nearby restaurant, and shook his head towards the serious middle-aged man standing with his hands behind his back:

"Father, there are still no vacant rooms, they are all full."

The young man's face was a little melancholy, this was already the eighth wine shop they had passed by: "Perhaps, there is no place to live in Wancheng, why don't we go outside the city to look for it?"

"There is a post house at Baihe Pavilion in the west of the city."

The young boy remembered it very clearly, and said softly: "We can go there to try our luck."

The middle-aged man was helpless, and heaved a long sigh: "I'm afraid this is the only way to go, let's go, Xiu'er."

The young man nodded: "Well, get out of here quickly while it's still early, otherwise it's unknown if you can leave the city gate once the curfew is imposed."

but
Before they had walked a few steps, they were surrounded by a group of soldiers and horses.

When the two were surprised, the team stepped aside, and a handsome young man walked out from inside.

"Yingchuan Guo Jia, I have met Yang Gong."

Guo Jia gave a bow with a very respectful attitude.

That's right.

The middle-aged man in front of him is none other than the former Situ Yang Biao.

And the young man next to him is Yang Xiu, the son of Yang Biao.

Yang Biao frowned: "You are Yingchuan Guo Jia?"

Guo Jia nodded: "That's right, I'm here."

"Currently a counselor under King Hongnong's tent?"

"Master Yang Mingjian."

Guo Jia didn't talk nonsense, and said bluntly: "His Royal Highness knows that you have arrived in Wancheng, Duke Yang, and specifically ordered you to invite you to the prefect's mansion."

How can there be such a coincidence in the world.

King Hongnong wanted to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor, so Yang Biao just came to his door?

Ha ha!

This clearly shows the rhythm of taking refuge in the new dynasty.

Naturally, Guo Jia didn't bother to talk nonsense, so it would be best to invite him directly.

Before Yang Biao could speak, Yang Xiu said angrily, "Your speed is too slow, isn't it? My father and I have been here for nearly half an hour, and you just showed up."

"If it's just a little longer at night"

Yang Xiu was domineering, glanced at Guo Jia and said, "Maybe we have left Wancheng and left here."

Guo Jia remained calm, and said lightly, and directly slammed back: "Leave now, and you will lose."

"Xiu'er, don't be rude."

Only then did Yang Biao stare at his son, then turned to Guo Jia and said, "Your Highness, how are you?"

Guo Jia nodded and nodded: "Thank you, Mr. Yang, for your concern. Your Highness is well."

Yang Biao exhaled: "In this way, the old minister can rest assured."

"Mr. Yang."

Guo Jia didn't bother to talk nonsense: "His Highness is still waiting in the prefect's mansion, let's hurry up and go."

Yang Biao nodded affirmatively: "Okay, please trouble Feng Xiao, and lead the way."

Guo Jia nodded: "I'm determined to do what I want, I dare not ask you."

Immediately.

The brigade led the way, while Guo Jia and Yang Biao followed slowly.

People along the way stopped and looked sideways, discussing:

"I didn't expect that even the Hongnong Yang family came."

"The weight of our Nanyang Hanting is really great."

"Ex-Situ Yang Biao? Interesting."

"Even Situ Yang is here?"

"Dong Zhuo is going to be mad this time."

"."

in the voice of the crowd.

Yang Biao and others rushed back to the prefect's mansion all the way.

now.

Liu Bian was waiting in the hall.

"Report—!"

Suddenly, a long announcement sounded outside the hall.

Liu Bian looked up.

However, the guard Zhu Tong pushed the door open and entered, bowed his body and cupped his hands: "Your Highness, former Situ Yang Biao has arrived."

Liu Bian waved his hand and said, "Let him in."

Zhu Tong cupped his hands: "Here."

Soon.

Yang Biao came to the hall, stepped forward, bowed his body and cupped his hands: "My humble minister Yang Biao, pay homage to His Royal Highness King Hongnong."

Liu Bian waved his hands and said loudly: "Get up."

Only then did Yang Biao straighten up: "Thank you, Your Highness."

When he looked up at King Hongnong sitting upright, his majestic posture was completely different from the frivolous appearance he remembered.

Especially those slightly deep eyes seemed to have the aura of a king. Even Yang Biao, who had been in the officialdom for decades, couldn't help but feel palpitations.

Just one look!
This made Yang Biao feel an inexplicable sense of awe.

This feeling, even when facing the first emperor in the Luoyang Palace, was in awe that he had never felt before.

Although Liu Bian's figure is not tall enough, his body exudes an aura of a king who dominates the world, and this is the core potential of an emperor.

"Mr. Yang, sit down."

Liu Bian waved his hand to signal him to sit aside.

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Yang Biao thanks again.

Immediately.

Turning to one side, each of them sat down.

Liu Bian took a deep breath, he didn't bother to talk nonsense with Yang Biao, and said loudly, "Mr. Yang, you disappeared after being deposed by Dong Zhuo, and now you suddenly appeared in Nanyang, shouldn't it be a coincidence?"

Yang Biao dared not hide it, and immediately nodded his head: "I heard that His Highness found the Jade Seal of the Chuan Kingdom in Luoyang. The old minister came to Nanyang on purpose to find His Highness."

"Oh?"

Liu Bian marveled at Yang Biao's sincerity: "Since that's the case, are you willing to stay by Gu's side?"

Yang Biao bowed his hands solemnly: "The old minister is willing to help His Highness."

Liu Bian asked tentatively: "Mr. Yang, let me ask you alone, is it because you were deposed by Dong Zhuo that you had no choice but to choose Nanyang Hanting, or do you really think that being alone is more important?"

Have to admit.

Liu Bian's question was a bit sharp.

If it was because he was deposed by Dong Zhuo that he had no choice but to choose Hanting in Nanyang, it would definitely make King Hongnong angry, and Yang Biao would never answer that way.

But
Even if it is answered that King Hongnong can achieve great things, it may be difficult to please him.

After all, before Yang Biao came, he had done his homework.

He had somewhat heard about Shao Yin's mansion being deported back to Nanyang.

When King Hongnong asked him this way, it was hard to guarantee that he didn't mean to dig a hole.

"This"

Yang Biao pondered for a while, and said softly: "I don't know if Your Highness wants to hear the truth or lies?"

Liu Bian naturally did not pretend to think: "Of course it is the truth."

Yang Biao made a bow and said sincerely: "I Hongnong Yang's family lived on Hanlu, and swore to be loyal to the emperor and serve the country, but the Chang'an Hanting has been stolen by the traitor Dong Zhuo, who dominates the court and brings disaster to the world."

"Weichen."

Yang Biao paused for a moment, then said in a soft voice: "A humble minister in Chang'an Hanting, there is indeed no way to serve the country! But since I heard that His Highness wiped out Dong Zhuo's remnants in Luoyang, God helped him. In the middle, get the Jade Seal of Chuanguo."

"I know that His Highness is the real Chosen Son, so I pack up and salute, take my wife and children, leave Hongnong, and go straight to Nanyang to find His Highness."

"Actually, just before entering the Taishou's mansion, I was doubting whether my decision was correct, but the moment I stepped into the main hall, I felt that this trip was guided by the heavens, and I came here just now."

Speaking of this, Yang Biao clasped his hands together and said, "Your Highness, I sincerely believe that only you, Your Highness, can really rejuvenate the Han Dynasty. Although the Han Court in Chang'an is powerful, it is old and difficult to regenerate."

Liu Bian smiled lightly.

Regardless of whether what Yang Biao said was true or not, these words were indeed comforting to listen to.

of course.

He didn't care whether Yang Biao really took refuge in him or not.

After all, in the new dynasty in the future, the power of the three princes will be restricted. At best, Yang Biao can only be the mascot of Nanyang Hanting, as long as he can play his role. As for whether he is sincere or not, Liu Bian doesn't care at all.

"It's rare that you have such a sincere heart."

Liu Bian heaved a sigh of relief, and nodded with great interest: "Gu will worship you as Taiwei, in charge of the military affairs of the new dynasty, and continue to contribute your strength to the great man."

In fact, Liu Bian wanted to worship Yang Biao as the Grand Tutor. After all, this position was at best a vain position of honor, and the actual authority was very small, so it was difficult to interfere with the government.

but
In the enthronement ceremony, after the Sangong Zou kicked off, there was a very important process.

Liu Bian wants to bestow the Snake-Slaying Sword, a treasure of the Han Dynasty, which has sacred significance, to the Taiwei who represents all the officials, and tells the officials to exhort them.

Based on this, Liu Bian just promoted Yang Biao to the rank of Taiwei. This can make the enthronement ceremony more formal, and can also maximize the deterrent effect on the Han court in Chang'an.

Yang Biao bowed his body and cupped his hands: "This minister will serve His Majesty with death."

Liu Bian waved his hand: "Get up, don't be too polite."

Yang Biao: "Thank you, Your Highness!"

　Liu Bian ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, begging for a wave of support!There is still 160+ monthly tickets left, update the episode!
