Hee Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 339 Brother-in-law Zhang He, five steps to founding a country (first update)
Not long after, Yuan Xi came to the place where he was in charge of politics. In the Huagai Hall, he saw Zhang He was also here, with his head slightly lowered, as if he felt a little ashamed.

"Junyi, whether it was blocking Cao's army from going north, beheading Cao Ren, or the second battle of Guandu, you have made great contributions. Gu also said that he will reward you heavily. This time, he will form six armies. The military adviser, Yuan Zhi, wanted you and Jing Zhi to command together, but you rejected them one after another. It is said that even Uncle Tian persuaded you, and you really strongly recommended Wen Yuan. Can you tell Gu why? "Yuan Xi asked softly. This time, among the chief and deputy commanders of the six armies, there was no Zhang He's name. This surprised many people and made some generals dissatisfied. After all, just beheading Cao Ren is enough for Zhang He to be ranked among the six major armies." In the Legion series, of course Zhang Liao was fully qualified to kill Xiahou Dun and capture Hulao Pass, but still the same sentence, no matter when, there will be first come first, first come first, Zhang He is a veteran of the north after all.

A trace of bitterness flashed across Zhang He's face, and he clasped his fists guiltily and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, and all your lords for your attention and love. However, as the general of the late king, I really can't attack when the late king needs it most. Although it is a last resort, I do. You can't accept canonization after such a grandiose victory, it's enough for me to lead troops to fight."

Yuan Xi was taken aback, then smiled and said, "Is Junyi blaming Gu?"

Zhang He was startled, and quickly knelt down on the ground, and said loudly: "No, I never have such an idea. If the king hadn't sent troops to turn the tide, the whole northern cause would be over. This is my own problem and has nothing to do with the king. Moreover, although General Zhang Liao entered the north of our country not long ago, he has made great military achievements and is Lu Guipin's uncle, so he is fully qualified to be the deputy commander of the Fifth Army Corps."

"Haha, Jun Yi! Jun Yi, you are really a bit of a deadhead sometimes," Yuan Xi scolded with a smile.

"I am ashamed." Zhang He lowered his head again.

"However, I appreciate your idea, which shows your loyalty. Since you don't want to be the commander-in-chief at the moment, I will not force you. There will be more battles for you to fight in the future, and there will be more opportunities to seal you. However, this If you don't reward one-time credit, someone will say that Gu is unfair, Gu heard that your wife left early and you have two young children, right?" Yuan Xi asked.

Zhang He was taken aback, and said: "Really"

"That's great. Gu's two younger sisters have already decided to remarry, and Gu intends to betroth his third sister Yuan Wan to you. What do you think?" Yuan Xi laughed.

Zhang He looked shocked, and said: "Your Majesty, I am no more than a rough man, how can I accompany the princess?"

"Why can't you accompany me? You are not only a lonely general, but also a loyal, gentle, magnanimous, and resolute man. You are really a rare good man, and your house also needs a woman to preside over it. This matter is settled like this "Yuan Xi knocked lightly on the desk, and his face became dignified, which meant that the king's order could not be changed.

Zhang Yun smiled wryly, and after a little hesitation, he clasped his fists and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, I will treat the princess well."

"Okay, although you are older than Gu, but in terms of seniority, you will be Gu's brother-in-law in the future, and you will also be a member of the Yuan family. Don't worry so much. Next time you push Gu, Gu will Order someone to whip you," Yuan Xi said solemnly.

"No!" Zhang Yun shrank his head, knowing that Yuan Xi was still a little displeased with his thoughts.

"Zheng Chun, after taking Junyi to see his mother, let me say something else, the third sister's marriage this time, Gu means that the scale must be large, the field must be sufficient, and everything needed will be managed by the Ministry of Internal Affairs," Yuan Xi instructed.

"No!" Zheng Chun on the side immediately responded.

. . . . . .

After Zhang Yun left, Tian Feng, Han Yan, and Xun Kan came to Huagai Hall.

"My lord, the ministers of all parties have resisted Yecheng one after another, and all the preparations for the founding ceremony have been completed," Tian Fenghui reported.

Yuan Xi nodded, and said gently: "Mr. Xun, you are in charge of all the procedures of this founding ceremony, please tell Gu about the specific situation."

"Nuo" Xun Kan responded, clasped his fists with a serious expression, and said, "To Your Majesty, the founding ceremony is divided into five steps."

"The first step: between the lord and the ancestral temple, worship the ancestors and spirits, and read the sacrificial text"

"Okay, Uncle Tian will hold the sacrificial offering and follow him into the ancestral temple." Yuan Xi looked at Tian Feng and said softly.

"Thank you, my lord," Tian Feng responded with a salute.

"The second step, the lord and the palace square, read the three armies, tell the emperor and the queen, and the swallow will get the destiny, and establish the country system"

"How many soldiers have been prepared?" Yuan Xi continued.

"My lord, the square outside the palace is huge and can accommodate 500 soldiers. The Privy Council has transferred [-] elites from the major legions, which meets the ninety-five number," Han Yan replied.

"In order to pass orders, you must strictly observe military discipline, and the founding ceremony must not eliminate problems," Yuan Xi instructed.

"promise!"

"The third step is for the king to formally confer the titles of the empress dowager, the queen, the daughters of the harem, and all the civil and military officials in the Chaotian Palace."

Yuan Xi nodded, this is the most important step.

"The fourth step is to spread the word to the world and announce the founding of Great Yan"

Hearing this, Yuan Xi laughed and said: "Speaking of which, Gu really admires Chen Lin's pen like rafters. In his essay on the founding of the country, Gu is no longer a mortal, but the reincarnation of stars. all blush"

"My lord, the lord of the people, is naturally the star in the sky. I think Mr. Chen's writing is excellent," Tian Feng said with a smile.

"Haha, Doctor Xun, the last step must be the dinner!" Yuan Xi said.

"Exactly," Xun Kan nodded.

"Gu looked at the list, and it seems that something is missing." Yuan Xi suddenly became serious.

Xun Kan, Tian Feng, and Han Yan were taken aback. They had carefully checked this list repeatedly, and they would never neglect meritorious ministers.

"My lord, which ones have not been added?" Tian Feng asked curiously.

Yuan Xi frowned, and said: "All of you above are ministers of civil and military affairs. In this respect, it can be said that you have taken care of every aspect, but you seem to have completely forgotten the lonely and honorable soldiers above the audit department. They fought for the lonely , fought bloody battles, and many of them lost arms or legs. Without their efforts, how could we be where we are today? No matter how high his title is, how big his official position is, Gu will never tolerate him."

Hearing this, Tian Feng and the others were startled, and Han Yan said in shame: "Your Majesty, it's the minister's fault, Prime Minister Zuo, the doctor and the others don't know about the honored military system in Youzhou, so they don't understand the situation."

"As a minister on the left, I can't understand the rule of the king, and I can't blame him for the crime." Tian Feng also said, but there was a sense of relief in his eyes. The king is so sympathetic to the veterans.

"Forget it this time, Gu has been arranged by the right minister, but we must pay attention to it in the future, especially the Shangshutai. We must turn this into a system that does not change with the changes of the characters. In the future, all national ceremonies need to be invited The honored soldiers from all over the world came to participate, and they wanted to tell the world, tell all the soldiers that I have not forgotten their contributions, and neither have my descendants." Yuan Xi waved his hands firmly.

"No!" The three Central Ministers immediately responded in admiration.
