Late Tang

(Thanks to Piggy and Dog, Decadent Fog, Junzibai, and Huang Tianlong for their support, thank you, please praise!)

After an unprecedented, unique, and extremely lively announcement of the nominations and marquises, the joint meeting of the provincial cabinet and the government formally drafted the list of candidates for the title and Li Jing.

After the list was drawn up, to everyone's surprise, Li Jing immediately passed the final list of 300 knights.Contrary to everyone's expectations, this list is completely the one most respected by officials and common people during the publicity period, and Li Jing has hardly changed it at all.It was directly approved, and on the second day, these 300 people were officially conferred in the Forbidden Palace in Yanjing, awarded titles, and bestowed swords and swords.

Everyone guessed that the knighthood would be different this time, but it was unexpected that King Qin would actually delegate such an important right as knighthood.

No one expected that this knighting event would end like this in the end.

Previously, the emperor suddenly intervened in Qin Fan and rewarded Qin Fan with three thousand titles at once, which caused a lot of trouble for Li Jing.And not long after the edict of the emperor's title was issued, many people thought that the emperor and Li Jing were at odds, and that there would be a fight between the emperor and his ministers.The emperor issued three edicts in a row.

The first edict is the edict of sin, and the second edict is to bestow the titles of princess and princess on the fiancées and concubines of the Yu family of the four clans who are about to get married to Li Jing.As soon as this edict came out, those who had planned to watch the emperor and Li Jing were greatly disappointed.After all, the Son of Heaven still didn't dare to do anything to Li Jing, not only that, but even issued an imperial edict and bestowed honor on the family, obviously trying to curry favor with Li Jing.

When the third edict revoked the previous reward to Qin Fan, it really shocked countless people's eyes.

This is already a direct concession to Li Jing, and it is a retreat.

The Son of Heaven subdued Li Jing, completely subdued, and just got up to wrestle with Li Jing, but in a blink of an eye, he was subdued.Three thousand titles had just been conferred, and all of them were revoked in the blink of an eye.Such an important thing as a knighthood is completely like a child's play.The emperor played tricks on the three thousand officials and soldiers, lost all face and ruined prestige.

What made people all over the world even more amazed was that the emperor was forced to withdraw the reward given to Qin Fan, but at this time Li Jing gave rewards to Qin Fan's officers and men with the titles of Marshal of the World's Soldiers and Horses, Fake Huang Yue, and Shang Shuling.Li Jing only sealed one-tenth of the original seal of the emperor, but in this way, the emperor was even more embarrassed.

The emperor sealed and withdrew, but Li Jing sealed again!

Although Li Jing, the general of the world's soldiers and horses, can only give orders in his own territory more often.Moreover, if Li Jing wanted to confer titles on his officers and men, he would basically agree with them as long as he put on an inscription as the Son of Heaven.But this time, Li Jing didn't even act like this.He directly conferred titles on more than [-] officers, soldiers and officials by himself, without going through the emperor at all, and did not play the emperor at all.

On June [-]st of the first year of Guangming, Li Jing entrusted hundreds of officials in Yanjing.

This time, not only were [-] titles awarded, but the titles of the original recipients were also reset.

According to the new [-]th-class title system, Li Jing is the first-class title of King Qin.

Below the king, the eldest son whose name was changed to Li Dezhao was granted the title of Prince of Liaoyang County, and the twelve sons including Li Delin were granted the title of Duke.

In fact, the civil and military officials of the Qin Dynasty granted Cui Yunqing, Lin Wei, Wang Zhong, Li Zhen, Jing Xiang, and Gai Yu the title of Duke of the State; nine of them, Guo Chengan, Pei You, and Wang Pu, and 18 of them, including Cui Anqian and Zhang Zimian, were the Duke of the County. , Liu Xun, Li Cunxiao, Gao Siji and other 36 people were named as Marquis of the country, and 45 county marquises and 54 county marquises were granted below.And there are 63 Kaibo Kingdoms, 72 Kai Guozis, and 81 Kai Guonans.One hundred and eight knights, one hundred and six knights, three hundred knights, and five hundred samurai!

A total of nearly 500 people were knighted before and after.

There is another thing that attracts more attention this time, that is, most of the recipients, including Cui Yunqing and Cui Anqian, all have imperial titles themselves, and the titles are even higher than those awarded this time. many.For example, Cui Anqian was originally the Duke of the State, and Yu Cong's title is also the Duke of the State.There are more people who are only granted the title of Marquis and Earl this time, and they were originally dukes and Marquis titles.

Generally speaking, most of the civil and military officers and soldiers of the Qin Dynasty were lowered by two to three ranks in this conferment of knighthood. Originally, some were granted titles by the imperial court, while others were granted titles by the Qin Dynasty, which was quite confusing.Often the titles of subordinates are sometimes higher than those of their superiors.Some old people who have been following Li Jing are no match for the new ones.

After discussing with the provincial cabinet this time, Li Jing simply underwent a major operation to reorganize the title.Taking advantage of the implementation of the new [-]th-class title this time, the original chaotic situation of ordinary and high-level titles has been corrected.The title should not only be honorable and scarce, but also be linked to merit and seniority.

Especially the four nobles of the county king, the state prince, the county prince, and the county prince.This time, King Li Jing only conferred on his eldest son, which was considered to be his heir for the time being.The rest of the county kings were all demoted. Since Cui Yunqing, there has been no county king.

The princes of the state have also been reduced from more than [-] in size to only six princes.The same is true for the remaining county princes and county princes, nine county princes and eighteen county princes.

Kings and dukes, all together, only Li Jing, the king of Qin, and Li Dezhao, the county king, plus the princes of the six countries, the princes of the nine counties, and the princes of the eighteen counties, all together, 35 people.

The newly voted Cui Anqian and others were originally the Dukes of the State and the Dukes of the County, but this time Li Jing also designated them as Dukes of the County.

Almost everyone has been demoted, but to the surprise of many outsiders who watched the excitement, after this re-canonization, Qin Fan's whole body maintained an attitude of approval.Although the original title was high, it seemed unfair because of the confusion.Although the current title has been downgraded, everyone has reassessed it, so it seems fair.What's more, this event of connoisseurship also let everyone see King Qin's ambition.Following King Qin, they will all be the founding fathers of the country. Are they afraid that they will not be rich in the future?

Even veterans such as Li Zhen, Li Liang, Gai Yu, and Jing Xiang, as well as former court officials such as Cui Yunqing, Cui Anqian, Yu Cong, and Du Tao who came to vote halfway, unanimously agreed with this.

A tumultuous cavalier event finally came to an end. In this event, the emperor suffered the greatest loss. Among Qin Fan, he lost all prestige from then on.Li Jing gained the most. Not only did he use this incident to show his strength to the court and the emperor, forcing them to restrain themselves, but he also used this to greatly defeat the emperor's conspiracy, and once again strengthened his prestige among Qin Fan.

For the position of knighthood, Li Jing also readjusted the official positions of the civil and military generals of the Qin Dynasty, each with rewards and promotions, and some key departments were also swapped and rotated.In particular, the local officials of the local provinces, states and counties are undergoing a [***] rotation this time, and the garrison military attachés of the various provinces, states and counties are also undergoing a large rotation.

The civil and military officials of the seven provinces are swapped, starting with the provincial civil and military officials, and then gradually rotating the state and county officials.

In addition, Li Jing restarted the political affairs hall meeting on top of the original joint meeting of the provincial cabinet and government. Cui Yunqing and other 13 people joined the political affairs ranks and became the highest official and most powerful person in Qin Fan under Li Jing. The prime minister of Tongping Zhangshi of the imperial court.

The joint meeting of the provincial cabinet, the government, and the political affairs hall meeting formed the decision-making body of Qin Fan, which is equivalent to the establishment of Zhongshu Province and Menxia Province of the imperial court.

After Li Jing got married, he devoted himself to this series of internal adjustments and reforms.

The drastic reform had just begun, but Li Jing received an urgent report from Dai Bei.

When he received the rush report from the Supervision Office, his expression was solemn, and he immediately asked the Internal Affairs Bureau to immediately notify all the ministers in the Political Affairs Hall to come to the meeting.

Liu Yunniang felt her body was heavy, and she always wanted to eat sour, but she still vomited non-stop.She remembered that when she was pregnant with Huniu last time, she never felt so uncomfortable at all. At that time, she was still able to ride a horse and shoot arrows when she was five months pregnant. Non-stop, as if to spit out all the stomach. "Sour and spicy girl!" She remembered what Li Jing said with a smile when he brought her vinegar pickled melon rind from Hedong.Maybe this is really a boy, didn't she just like spicy food and fear sour last time?This time I don't want to eat spicy food at all, I always want to eat sour.

Thinking that maybe she could give birth to a son for Li Jing, she couldn't help but feel a little more joyful on her face.Men always like their sons.At the beginning, she gave birth to a daughter for Li Keyong, but she didn't have another daughter for several years. Li Keyong couldn't bear it any longer. Regardless of what he told him to marry her, she immediately went to find Mrs. Cao.Thinking about Li Jing again, if Wang Guiniang could give birth to him a son, she wouldn't be practicing at home now, and let Yu become an equal wife.Especially for a hero like Li Jing, having many heirs is also very important, especially the first son.Right now Li Jing's two main wives, Wang Guiniang, has only one daughter, and the third wife, Wang Wanjun, has three sons in a row.The main wife has no concubine, and the eldest son of the concubine's wife. If Yu Shi gives birth to a concubine in the future, he may face the problem of choosing a young concubine or an older concubine to give birth to an eldest son.

The head of internal affairs had just come to inform her that King Qin was holding an emergency political affairs hall meeting, and hoped that she could attend the meeting.Sitting in the carriage, Qing Que and Hong Ying were waiting by the side, Qing Que was holding a jar of fresh red bayberries, while Hong Ying was holding a small jar of sour cabbage.Although Mrs. Liu was sitting in the carriage, she wanted to take a good hot bath, then eat a big meal with the bayberry jar, and then go to sleep well, but she always slept too much in the end.

"Why do you need me to attend the Zhengshitang meeting?" She said a little absent-mindedly. Originally, Li Jing had promised to let her continue to lead the Women's Army, but now that she is pregnant, she can only suffer from morning sickness every day, and all kinds of troubles. Accompanied by sour snacks.

The head of the internal affairs department bowed respectfully to the end, "It seems that something happened to Daibei."

Hearing the word Daibei, Liu Yuniang was taken aback for a moment, and then let out a long sigh.After Li Keyong left with her daughter last time, news came that Li Sizhao was executed by Li Keyong.She heard that Li Keyong killed Li Sizhao and took back [-] Shatuo soldiers.At that time, she was a little worried that Li Siyuan might be Li Keyong's next target.For Li Siyuan, the adoptive son, Liu felt a little complicated.She knew that there was something else in Li Siyuan's eyes when he looked at her.However, he hid it very well and did not let these things affect their relationship.Other than that, he's a nice adopted son.

I have tried my best to protect her, more than once.Moreover, he is brave to fight and loyal to Li Keyong.

She didn't want to see him die under the suspicion and madness of her ex-husband like Si Zhao, so when Li Jing wanted her to write a letter to Li Siyuan last time, persuading him to consider what to do, she wrote that letter without any hesitation .Not long after that letter was written, something happened in Daibei now, judging from the current situation, something big must have happened.

Did Li Siyuan finally decide to abandon Li Keyong and go to Li Jing, or did Li Keyong attack Li Siyuan first?

"Do you know what it is?"

"Daibei is out of control!" The head of internal affairs did not keep secrets about this woman who was not well-known, but was very much loved by the King of Qin.Anyway, even if he doesn't say it now, she will know everything in the Zhengshitang immediately, so why should he offend this woman.

Daibei is out of control!

Liu Yunniang couldn't help being surprised.

These short four words contain too many things.But on the surface, this is not always a good thing. Dai Bei lost control, at least it means that Li Siyuan did not surrender to Qin Fan, or that he was going to surrender, but failed!why?Could it be that Li Keyong had already killed him? In her mind, that young man with deep eyes reappeared involuntarily! (To be continued.)
