Imperial Power Of Han Dynasty

The second day.

A round of flaming sun slowly jumped above the horizon, emitting ten thousand golden rays, shining in Luoyang city. Luoyang, which has been silent for a night, is like a waking behemoth, gradually heating up, and the large-scale palace group is well prepared.

"The emperor goes to court, the courtiers~ see you."

Both Liu Ye and Liu Bei were dressed in black and red court clothes and walked calmly on the steps. Liu Bei had many thoughts in his heart. He couldn't help thinking of a joke that Xiao once said.

There was a lush and leafy tree in Lousang Village, Zhuo County, Youzhou. Liu Bei pointed to this tree and joked to his childhood playmates: "If I am the emperor, I should take this canopy."

Back then, he was just a child, but now he is already wearing court clothes, seeing the emperor, life's encounters are truly like a dream.

"The ministers pay homage to your majesty."

Liu Ye, Liu Bei and others bent down and bowed, and Liu Bian, who was sitting in the main seat, said, "General and all the ministers, please get up."

"Enlighten Your Majesty." Liu Ye said: "After the Yuan family in Runan, Yuan Shu in Huainan was unruly and claimed the emperor, the final general led his army out of Yuzhou, and the 60,000 people of Zhang Xun's department were wiped out. Yuan Shu fled Shouchun and died halfway through illness. ."

Liu Bian happily said: "Uncle Emperor is really the number one general in the Han Dynasty. He wiped out 60,000 thieves in the first battle. Yuan Shu, the pseudo-emperor, fled in a hurry. It is really a mega-shock to the world."

"Your Majesty has been praised, and the emperor Hongfu is outstanding." Liu Ye said modestly.

"Well, Yang Xiu."

"The minister is here."

Liu Bian gave an order: "Through my will, the 3,000 households in the feudal land will be Tang Muyi, the general of the generals, and the sum of 2,000 shi will be added to commend the general's work in countering the rebellion." Now Liu Ye has been named a general in name. It is already the highest official position of the imperial court, and it is really unqualified, so it can only be commended materially.

Someone may be wondering here, why is the highest official position a general, not a prime minister? Didn't Dong Zhuo and Cao Cao both proclaim themselves prime ministers and become representatives of powerful ministers?

In fact, the post of prime minister was gradually abolished during the Eastern Han Dynasty and replaced by the three publics. Because the prime minister’s power was really too great, the general government affairs of the country were really under one person and more than ten thousand people. Therefore, the Han Dynasty weakened the prime minister’s power. The principle of the prime minister became San Gong. In fact, Dong Zhuo claimed to be the prime minister and resurrected the prime minister system, and then Cao Cao inherited the prime minister system for his arbitrary needs.

However, Liu Ye was not like that. Firstly, he was born in the ranks. Secondly, as long as he had real power, it didn't really matter what he was called.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Liu Ye said: "In addition, Yuzhou Governor Liu Bei led the army to resist Yuan Shujun's attack, so he finally brought Liu Shishi into the palace specially to see His Majesty."

"Oh?" Liu Bian looked over curiously, and Liu Bei immediately went out.

"The subordinate Liu Bei, I have seen your Majesty."

Liu Bian curiously asked: "Liu Yuzhou is the national surname, is it also after the emperor?"

"Your Majesty, the minister is the great-great-grandson of Emperor Zhongshan Jing, and the great-grandson of Emperor Han Jing, only because of his family's failure, he ended up in a white body. Thanks to the general's support, he has achieved today's achievements." Liu Bei respectfully said.

"Oh? Yang Sheren, fetch the royal family genealogy." Hearing Liu Bei's self-reporting of his family, Liu Bian suddenly became interested and hurriedly ordered Yang Xiu from Zhongshushe to obtain the genealogy.

Yang Xiu took out a very old genealogy and looked it up carefully page by page. Suddenly, his expression revealed a joyful expression: "Liu Yuzhou is indeed after Zhongshan Jing Wang Sheng, grandfather Xiong was named Xiaolian. , The official Zhidong County Fan Ling, his father Liu Hong died early."

Liu Bian was pleasantly surprised: "So that's the case, so I am going to call Liu Yuzhou the emperor uncle?"

Liu Bei hurriedly lowered his head: "I dare not be."

"Uncle Emperor is really my uncle, why don't you dare to be?" Liu Bian smiled and said: "If this is the case, I will make the uncle the left general and have the right to crusade against the four barbarians. I hope that the two uncles will work together to do their best for the court. ."

Although Liu Bei was overjoyed, he did not show his expression on his face and respectfully said: "Bei will definitely live up to his entrustment, and will cooperate sincerely with the general and do his best to rejuvenate the man!"

Upon seeing this, Liu Ye also took a step forward: "Please rest assured, your Majesty, but the end of the teaching will be alive, and he will definitely conquer the foreign ministers and be loyal to my great man."

"Hahaha, okay, okay." Liu Bian was very happy: "After the dynasty is dismissed today, please don't leave the two uncles. I will set up a family banquet in the palace. Please be sure to be there."

"The minister follows the decree."

After Liu Ye reported on the conquest of Yuan Shu and Liu Bei, the Zhongshu ordered Xun You to go out and report on things such as farming fields and supervising the construction of Xuanwu Pool. Although Liu Bian usually listened to Xun You’s report, in fact it was basically Xun Youyi. And deal with it, and report to him is just a cutscene. And Liu Bian is not dissatisfied with this. Liu Bian has no ambitions. Now that he has ascended to the position of the emperor, besides fixing the early morning, listening to the lectures of the great scholars is to appreciate the music and dance. He is content.

"Since there is nothing to play, the ministers please leave the court."

After Liu Bian withdrew from the officials impatiently, he stepped forward and grabbed the hands of Liu Ye and Liu Bei, and said happily: "The general has been out for war all year round and rarely returns to Luoyang; Uncle Bei will return to Yuzhou sooner or later. Seeing it is really rare, please invite the two emperors to come with me and have a good dinner."

Xun You built a new city in Luoyang. He did not advocate extravagance and waste. However, under Liu Ye's order, he should meet the requirements of the palace as much as possible, but at most it would restore the normal scale. If he returns to the Huanling Second Emperor, That won't work.

As the palace music officer slowly played the sound of drum music, four rows of light gauze, graceful court ladies danced in the hall, Liu Bian looked at it with taste and admiration. However, Liu Ye looked at Liu Bei quietly, and saw Liu Bei sitting righteously, his face calm, and there was no other expression in his eyes.

Liu Ye secretly admired that Liu Bei was really happy and angry, no wonder he was able to build a Shu Han and compete with Cao Cao who occupied half of the world.

In addition to Liu Bian and Liu Ye and Liu Bei, there were also Zhongshu Ling Xunyou, Zhongshu Sheren Yang Xiu, Tai servant Ma Rixi, and Guo elder Tang Hao. Tang Hao was former prefect of Huiji, and was the father of Liu Bian's concubine Tang Ji. Liu Bian did not abdicate, so Tang Hao naturally replaced Fu Shou as the elder of the country.

After eating and drinking, Liu Ye and Liu Bei got up and resigned, and walked out of the hall, and Liu Bian looked quite happy.

"Your Majesty, there was a acquaintance with Emperor Xuande, and I want to talk about it." Tang Hao said.

"The head of the country has an old relationship with the uncle?" Liu Bian asked.
