The short video shows the ancient times, and the emperors cried with envy!

Chapter 234 The highest privilege of a powerful minister! Yan Song was speechless: A powerful minister? ! How many heads have you grown?

Gu Sheng endured the discomfort in his heart and directly swiped the phone screen.

[The highest treatment an emperor gives to his ministers? Praise and worship are not known, entering the court is not trending, and swords and shoes are worn in the palace! # Quanchen three-piece set]

[There were many powerful officials in ancient China, such as Xiao He, Dong Zhuo, Cao Cao, Huo Guang, Gao Cheng, etc. 】

[Some of these powerful ministers replaced the emperor and founded a new dynasty, while others worked in the position of powerful ministers until they died of old age, or were killed by political opponents or the emperor. 】

[When looking through the biographies of these powerful ministers, we can often see that the emperor would actively or passively reward them with many privileges and honors. 】

[Among them, the most important and common privileges and honors are: entering the court with no status, paying homage with no name, edicts with no name, going to the palace with swords and shoes, and the relatively rare ones of going to and from the police. There are many records of this in history books, and many can be found in the biographies of powerful officials:

"The emperor ordered the public to pay homage without being named, to enter the court without rushing, and to go to the palace with swords and shoes, just like the story of Xiao He." "Three Kingdoms·Wei Zhi·Wudi Ji"

"The Emperor Gaozu was ordered to be the governor of the Chinese and foreign armies, and he went to the palace with swords and shoes. He did not rush into the court, and he was not praised and worshiped." "Book of Liang: Chronicles of Emperor Wu"

"Dong Zhuo is the prime minister of the country. He is praised and worshiped without fame. He enters the court without being followed. He wears swords and shoes in the palace. He is extremely majestic and blessed." "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms"]

[These privileges can be said to be standard equipment for powerful officials in ancient times. Without one or two such special treatments, it would be difficult to regard him as a top powerful official who wields great power and works to the extreme. He would be embarrassed to say hello when he goes out. kind of. 】

[Then what does it mean to "enter the court without following, praise and worship without fame, edicts without fame, and go to the palace with swords and shoes"? What's the explanation for being out of police and in jail? 】

[Praise is unknown:

In ancient times, when ministers paid homage to the emperor, the saluting officer did not address them directly by name, but only by their official title. This was a special courtesy given by the emperor to the ministers!

Once they have obtained the privilege of worshiping without a name, eunuchs or ceremonial officials cannot directly mention their names when referring to powerful officials, but can only mention their official positions and identities. The purpose of not mentioning the names of powerful ministers when the Xuanren came to the audience was to avoid taboos about the Venerable. 】

[There is no tendency to enter the dynasty:

In order to show the majesty of the royal family, when meeting the emperor, the civil and military ministers could only appear in a "shu" manner to show respect for the imperial power.

After receiving the treatment of "no tendency to enter the court", you can walk to the palace as freely as a normal person. Whether you are shopping outside or visiting the palace gate, you can walk with swagger and splendor. 】

[Swords and Shoes Go to the Palace:

"Sword" refers to the sword carried by the ancients. Since Jing Ke "assassinated the Queen of Qin, ministers were not allowed to wear swords when they went to the palace."

"Lu" means shoes in ancient Chinese. Going to the palace with swords and shoes means carrying a sword and wearing shoes to go to the palace to see the emperor. This is also a very high privilege. 】

[The police are out and the police are in:

When the emperor came in and out, he warned and cleared the road and prohibited pedestrians from coming and going. This is the ancient meaning of traffic control. According to the explanation in "Gujinzhu·Yufu":

"Going out of the police and entering the palace" was originally an exclusive treatment for the emperor, but it was also actively or passively given to some powerful officials, which also meant that the powerful officials actually had equal rights with the emperor. 】

"Do you always feel like something is missing?" 》

"When entering the court, there is no rush, no praise or worship. When you go to the palace with swords and shoes, add nine tins, and give you a yellow axe." Kaifu Yi and the three divisions were in charge of the military affairs at home and abroad. He paid homage to the prime minister, was in charge of Bai Kui, granted ten counties, was promoted to the title of king, and carried out the story of Huo Guang and Wei Wu. 》

"This is basically the highest treatment for powerful officials in ancient times. There is no title and no reward!" 》

"It is already the limit for a powerful minister to reach this point. If he goes further, he will only have the position of emperor!" 》

"Generally, ministers who receive such privileges have the intention of tampering. Compared with the emperor, there is only one title missing. 》

"During the heyday of the dynasty, people were given such honors as "praising and worshiping without fame, entering the dynasty without rushing, and going to the palace with swords and shoes". The family was prominent for a lifetime and its name was recorded in the history books. 》

Under the vast sky, everyone who had just recovered from the shock of the terrifying Ape erectus was now looking at the sky in front of them.

Countless feelings arose one after another.

Big man.

The powerful minister Huo Guang looked at the discussions about the powerful ministers on the sky and did not deny anything.

Can……

Conspiracy and treason?

These words are simply ridiculous. Although Huo Guang did the deposed emperor, he was also doing it for the foundation of the Han Dynasty!

Even if there is selfishness, it is not what is called treason!

The evaluations of this man in later generations really underestimated him!

Three Kingdoms. Looking at the descriptions about Cao Cao, countless pairs of eyes shook their heads at this moment.

This is the real way of coercing the emperor to order the princes!

In Luoyang City, Cao Cao looked at the scene on the sky but rarely felt a little uncomfortable.

After all, although he is a hero, he is still a minister of the Han Dynasty in name, and now he needs to borrow this skin to do things!

If the rebellion is used by someone with intentions, it will most likely bring about changes.

As for other comments, he didn't pay attention at all.

So what if the emperor knew?

For him, as long as it does not affect his ability to wipe out other princes and create a prosperous Wei Dynasty, then everything is not a problem.

Datang.

The more Taizong Li Shimin looked at the scene on the sky screen, the more profound his expression became.

"If you don't follow the rules when entering the court, you won't be praised and worshiped. If you go to the palace with swords and shoes, add nine tins, and give you a yellow ax..."

"The Kaifu Yitong three divisions are in charge of the military affairs at home and abroad..."

"I pay homage to the prime minister, be the chief minister, be granted the title of ten counties, and be promoted to a noble king..."

"The story of Huo Guang and Wei Wu!"

The more Li Shimin thought about it, the heavier he felt.

There may not be powerful ministers in the Tang Dynasty, and it is even more nonsense to say that he has superior military achievements. You must know that he is the great general of the Tang Dynasty. Who has higher military merit than him?

But besides him, the prestige of these ministers who follow the dragon and General Li Jing seems not to be weak either!

If I follow the development of history, these people seem to have no accidents.

However, if you want to protect the crown prince Li Chengqian, it is inevitable that some people will have other ideas!

Li Shimin knew very well how powerful the nobles behind these ministers were. In a sense, these nobles also contributed a lot to the Tang Dynasty's ability to dominate the world.

Although nothing happened, Li Shimin already felt the crisis.

Ming dynasty.

Emperor Jiajing looked at the discussions about powerful officials and felt that it was extremely ridiculous.

What kind of powerful minister is not a powerful minister?

Those who can be used by me are loyal ministers of the Ming Dynasty.

If they can't be used by me, then they will be treated as traitors and killed.

For example, Yan Song and his son.

In the eyes of Emperor Jiajing, although the father and son were greedy for money, they could still be used by him.

At this moment, the father and son in the Yan Mansion were speechless as they looked at the scene on the sky screen.

Powerful minister?

How many brains do you have to dare to say that you are a powerful minister?

Even though they usually hold high positions and hold power that others don’t have, they are even more frightened when walking on thin ice!

After all, the man in the imperial court is known as a god who kills people without blinking an eye.

Even if he was really given this honor, no one in the court would dare to accept it easily.

After all, life is still important!
