The last three kingdoms

Chapter 1154 King Yong
Since Ji Han entered Luoyang for the first time, and the world had not yet settled down, Liu Chen only had two requirements for the enthronement ceremony, and that was frugality.Whether it is conquering the world or governing the country, a lot of money is needed. At this time, if the enthronement ceremony is too luxurious, it is easy to be criticized by the world. Therefore, diligence and thrift are the result of unanimous discussions between Ji Han's monarchs and ministers, not just enthronement The grand ceremony, even Emperor Xiaohuai's funeral was kept simple.

After burying Emperor Xiaohuai in Huai Mausoleum, Liu Chen declared amnesty for the world and conferred imperial titles on all his officials.

The first person Liu Chen wanted to seal was Liu Yin.The reason why Liu Chen was able to ascend to the throne was inseparable from Liu Yin's strong support. After Liu Chen sat on the throne of the emperor, it was naturally impossible to forget the meritorious deeds of his cousin. Sima and Lu Shangshu are in charge of all military affairs in the world.

This award is indeed a big deal. Da Sima and Lu Shangshushi were Liu Yin's original official positions. This time, Liu Chen reserved all of them for him. The new crown prince Taibao is an honorary title. Although there is no actual official position, Taibao and Taifu, The grand master is also called Sangu, which is an existence beyond the Sangong.As the governor of all the military forces in the world, he gave Liu Yin all the power of soldiers and horses of Ji Han.

Prior to this, Liu Yin, who was the great Sima, and Jiang Wei, who was the great general, each held half of the military power. , and all were assigned to Liu Yin's command, and he was in charge of it.

It is undoubtedly Liu Chen's affirmation of Liu Yin's achievements that Liu Yin was named King Yong. Except for Liu Chen's three sons, the eldest son Liu Jin was named King Yu, and the second son Liu Pu was named King Lu. In addition to Liu Jun, the third son, who was named king of Yan, Liu Yin was the only one who was named king.

It is perfectly normal for the emperor's son to be named a vassal king.In the Han Dynasty, since the great ancestor Liu Bang made an oath with the white horse of the ministers, there was no king who was not Liu, and kings with different surnames basically disappeared, of course Cao Cao was an exception.

Although Liu Yin is also surnamed Liu, although he is also the grandson of Emperor Zhaolie Liu Bei like Liu Chen, and Liu Yin once inherited the throne of his father Anping Wang Liu Li, but in terms of blood relationship between him and Liu Chen, they are already three generations of blood relatives Well, the former emperor Liu Chan was his uncle, and the current emperor is his elder brother. According to the principle of the Han Dynasty, only the sons and brothers of the emperor himself are eligible to be kings. Obviously, according to the etiquette, Liu Yin is no longer in the imperial court. The list of kings.

But Liu Yin single-handedly brought down this great country, and Liu Yin single-handedly supported Liu Chen's position as emperor. No matter from which point of view, if Liu Yin is not crowned king, Liu Chen can't praise him. achievement.Fortunately, Liu Yin is also a royal family, and he will not violate the principle set by Gao Zu that he is not Liu and not king, and he is also Liu Bei's grandson. Liu Chen named him King Yong, which can be regarded as a sideline.

Although Jiang Wei planned to carry out the rebellion, Liu Chen decreed to pardon his crimes in view of his countless meritorious service to the court, and still buried him with the ceremony of a general. At Liu Yin's request, Liu Chen also pardoned him. Jiang Yuan, the eldest son of Jiang Wei, and Jiang Yu, the second son of Jiang Yu, who participated in the rebellion, were demoted to common people and never hired.

After Jiang Wei's death, there was a vacancy in Shangshutai's Lu Shang Shu Shi. According to the original configuration, there must be at least three Lu Shang Shu Shi. Liu Yin and Shang Shu ordered Huo Yi to continue to hold this position. Uncle Zhang Shaolai was in charge.However, Zhang Shao was old, weak and sick, so he resigned, so Liu Chen had no choice but to appoint Zhang Shao as his grand master.

Taishi is a false title, a position of honor but no real power, so it is good to take care of the rest of the world.

So after Liu Chen thought about it, the last place to be recorded as a minister was given to Quezheng, who was the former governor of Yongzhou.However, he has served in Yongzhou for many years, and Liu Chen stayed in Chang'an for many years when he was the supervisor of the army. It can be said that he is his confidant. After Liu Chen succeeded to the throne, he was transferred to Luoyang to serve as a servant Qi Changshi, this time into the cabinet, the status is even higher, which is eye-catching.

Zhang Zun served as the order of Zhongshu, Jiang Xian served as the left servant of the Shangshu, Li Hu shot as the right servant of the Shangshu, Guan Yi served as the lieutenant of Sili and the general of the guard, Li Qiu was transferred to be the general of the town army, and Hu Ji was the general of the auxiliary state , Yang Hu is Doctor Guanglu.

In terms of the army, Fu Qian served as the general of the hussars, Luo Xian served as the general of the chariots, Huang Chong served as the former general, Jiang Bin served as the rear general, Qian Hong served as the left general, Wang Qi served as the right general, Zhang Le served as the general of the east, Zhao Zhuo served as the general of the west, and Fu Zhu served as the general of the north. Fu Zhao served as General Zhengnan, Zhuge Shang served as General Zhendong, Gao Yuan served as General Zhenxi, Deng Pu served as General Zhennan, Luo Xi served as General Zhenbei, Wang She served as General Pingdong, Deng Zhong served as General Pingxi, Lu Xun served as General Pingnan, and Xun Kai served as General Pingbei , Ma Rong served as General Andong, Zhou Xu served as General Anxi, and Liu Yin served as General Anbei.

The titles of these generals were awarded by the imperial court to reward them for their contribution to the restoration of the Han Dynasty. As for their positions in the army, they were uniformly arranged by the great Sima Liu Yin.

The rest of the civil and military officials have all been promoted, including the surrendered ministers of the former Jin Dynasty, and many of them have been hired.

When the new emperor came to the throne, everything was complicated. When Liu Chan first entered Luoyang, he was in poor health and had never been to the court at all. All the affairs of the court were handled by the Shangshutai composed of Huo Yi, Jiang Wei and Liu Yin. Yes, now that Liu Chen, who is in his prime, has succeeded to the throne, he will naturally be in charge of the government. All memorials must be reviewed by Liu Chen in person and handed over to the Shangshutai for specific disposal.

Now before Liu Chen, there are two top priorities. The first is Liu Chan's yet-to-be-finished ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven. The new emperor succeeds to the throne, and the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven must be held even more grandly.After discussing with the ministers, it was decided to carry out on the Shangxin day next month.

The second thing is that although Ji Han took control of Luoyang, he only occupied a few tens of miles around Luoyang, and a large area of ​​territory to the east and south still controlled the state of Wu and those who surrendered to Wu as vassals. In the hands of the Three Kings of Kanto, the situation around Luoyang is actually still very grim.

The plan to march to the Kanto was confirmed as early as when entering Luoyang, but these past few months, I have been busy with other affairs, and I have not taken care of other things at all. The plan to march to the Kanto can only be shelved. But now that Jihan's political situation is stable, Liu Chen called all his ministers to discuss the appropriateness of marching eastward.

At this moment, an urgent report came from Hulao Pass. Lu Kang from Soochow, together with Chen Qian from Yuzhou, Shi Bao from Huainan, and Ma Long from Qingzhou, assembled an army of 25 to attack Hulao Pass.

All the ministers were startled, and they all cast their eyes on Liu Yin.

Liu Yin chuckled and said: "It's just in time, Lu Kang wants to take advantage of the fire, so we have to give him a big gift."
