The portable magic tower of the Three Kingdoms

By the way, did you come here to tell me that, or did you come here to tease your grandson (daughter)?Liu Tao became a little confused.

In the early morning of the next day, around four o'clock, Liu Tao had already woken up, took a bath under the service of the maid, and then changed into a dragon robe.After confirming that there is no problem with the appearance, he came to the gate, where the carriage and Jin Yiwei were already waiting here.

The house is not too far from the palace, only about 200 meters, but this 200 meters is an excellent opportunity for assassins to kill.Not to mention the guards along the way, this way passed, as early as a quarter of an hour ago, people had been sent to patrol, and then guarded along the way.

"It seems that the house is outside the palace, so it's still a bit troublesome..." Liu Tao looked at Dian Wei.

Yang She has officially become the commander of the Jinyiwei, sitting in the Jinyiwei yamen, and no longer personally responsible for Liu Tao's guard work.Dian Wei naturally replaced Yang She and was responsible for the daily guard work.

"Where, the law and order in Jinyang is very good, and the people respect His Majesty very much. Even if Xiaoxiao sneaks in, the people will report it spontaneously. This road is very safe, and the minister is just conducting routine investigations." Hearing this, Dian Wei quickly replied.

"Well, thank you for your hard work anyway." Liu Tao nodded, then leaned against the carriage.This rickety one is just like a cradle, it's still a little sleepy, and it's actually a little sleepy.

When he came back to his senses, the car had already stopped.He got out of the carriage and went to the main hall under the escort of Jin Yiwei.

At this moment, hundreds of officials have arrived, and all officials from the three provinces and six ministries have arrived.Not only them, but Cao Cao, governor of Sizhou, Ma Teng, governor of Liangzhou, and Zhang Yan, the general of peace, were already waiting in the main hall.

It's a pity that Guan Yu was going to guard Sizhou, and Lu Yan also went to Liangzhou a few years ago. The rewards for the two had to be read out first, and sent to send the imperial edict to the two.

The three provinces and six ministries are arranged in order according to the official position.It's still a bit rough, and this needs to be adjusted slowly.Fortunately, Lu Zhi and others have served as officials in the court, so they can give a lot of advice in this regard.

When Liu Tao entered the hall, he still remembered the first time he went to court. Time passed and he became the emperor...

When I came to the dragon chair, because I was not used to sitting upright, I specially built a new dragon chair.

As he sat down slowly, all the officials had a panoramic view, only to see Liu Tao wave his hand, and the attendant immediately announced: "Go to court!"

Chapter 491

At present, there are no eunuchs in the palace, only close servants, who are also served by Jin Yiwei. It is said that the province needs to add some Lang officials, just like the ones that belonged to Guang Luxun before.

The reason why there is no eunuch is also very simple. Currently Liu Tao only lives in the house, some maidservants are fine, and if there is any rough work, he will temporarily call Jin Yiwei to help.

This side of the palace is mainly an office space. Liu Tao works here, and he may also have breakfast and lunch here, but he will not stay here, usually not.

There is a room reserved for rest and accommodation here, but it is not far from the house, so if possible, go back and rest.

As the officials saluted Liu Tao, Liu Tao also briefly saluted the officials.This is the way it is in this era, the emperor has no way to feel at ease and accept the kneeling worship of all officials.When others salute, one should return the salute appropriately, which is a matter of etiquette.

Of course, he is now the emperor, so he can modify it as he pleases.It's just that he likes it like this, so he hasn't changed it.

Everyone still had a place to sit, and did not modify official hats like the Song Dynasty.The officials of Yushitai have been observing, whispering, whispering, spitting and so on in the court hall. After the court is over, they will naturally go up to trouble them.

"I didn't expect us to come this far..." Liu Tao looked at the officials with a tone of three parts proud, three parts emotion, three parts joy and one part exhaustion, "Thank you all for your support!"

"This is the duty of the ministers!" The ministers did not expect that Liu Tao would thank them first, and was flattered for a while.

"My dear friends, you should be clear that although I am a member of the Han family, I was only a son of a squire before I started my family. Just when the Yellow Turbans were in trouble, the first emperor issued an edict to allow all states to form volunteer troops to fight against the culprits. Only then did I have the opportunity to raise troops and make contributions." Liu Tao said with emotion. .

The key point is that it took only six years for a son of a squire to become the emperor of the Han Dynasty, which is indeed a lot of emotion.

When Liu Tao raised his troops back then, who would have thought that this boy from the militia could reach the height he is now?

"I know you can wait, so I don't talk nonsense." Liu Tao looked at everyone, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, "I will never forget those who followed me to fight the world when I was humble. Those who were in my most difficult time I will not be stingy with rewarding those who follow me..."

After a pause, he continued: "In the old days when I raised the army, there were mainly three righteous brothers who assisted me. There was also Jian Yong, the chief secretary, who managed the logistics without complaint. There were also Liu Ge and Shangguan Yu, who led the army for me."

The ones who were canonized at the beginning were indeed the first group to take refuge in... the officials murmured silently in their hearts.For this result, it is not surprising.In other words, if they were not the first to confer the reward, it would be difficult for people like myself to accept the reward.

"Lu Yan, it's a pity that he is not here. Although the appointment has already been issued, I will announce once again that Lu Yan will be appointed Governor of Liangzhou, King of Wuyuan! Wuyuan County, as his state!" Liu Tao solemnly announced.

Sure enough, they were crowned kings, and everyone was stunned. These three were Liu Tao's brothers-in-law. Whether the brothers were brothers or not, whether they were crowned kings or not was the result that all the officials were looking forward to.

Conferring a king means that there are kings with different surnames. In the early days of the Western Han Dynasty, there were, but in the end they found an opportunity to take back the feudal state.Then it didn't show up.However, the oath of "blessings and sharing" in the past is just a joke.

"Your Majesty!" Lu Zhi came out, "There is no king with a different surname in the big man. There was no king in the past, and there should be no king in the future."

Lu Yan had no way to come forward, but Lu Zhi came forward. The Lu family couldn't afford to bear the name of Wang with a different surname.

The temptation is too great, and it also completely binds the Lu family and Liu Tao. After thinking about it carefully, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages, and it is really harmful!

"Haha..." Liu Tao laughed loudly, "Teacher, don't worry, since I dare to confer titles, then there is a reason for me! Great men are conferred titles based on military merits, and you can't confer titles unless you have military merits. King is fine!"

Seeing that everyone was shocked, he added: "However, all princes only have the right to govern the country, and their own troops cannot exceed three hundred! The feudal state can only be in the border county, and if no one is sent to govern it for three years, the feudal state will be withdrawn." country!"

In the final analysis, it is to let Feng Wang govern the border county for him.Those who don't have the guts to govern will be taken back to the country.If you love yourself, then you can't blame anyone for the closure of the country!

Without military power, it means that the country has to garrison troops there, and with Jin Yiwei watching, most of the problems are avoided.

It is not without benefits to be a king. First of all, open a government and set up a government, and at the same time, in one's own country, there is naturally a high degree of freedom.As long as you don't rebel, you will definitely keep your promises inside.

"It's just that this king is not a feudal clan..." Lu Zhi understood it, but felt even more strange.

"It doesn't matter!" Liu Tao replied, "If you want to join the feudal clan, you can just resign from the post of governor of Liangzhou."

This also means that if the vassal kings want to become a vassal, it is estimated that they will have to wait until they retire at the age of 60 before they can become a vassal.Well-maintained, if you live another ten or twenty years, you can just govern the country, and your old age will not be boring!

Now that there is such a shortage of manpower, even if you are a king, you have to come out to work obediently!

Of course, it is also possible to arrange for the son to go back to help manage the kingdom, but such rules will delay the son's official career.

If there are several sons in the family, you can consider it.But unfortunately, Lu Yan only has one daughter, Guan Ping of Guan Yu's family is still young, and Zhang Fei doesn't even have any heirs.

"So that's it, I understand." Lu Zhi didn't worry about it any more. At worst, he would go back and divide the family. Lu Yan would be his Wuyuan king, and Lu Yu would inherit the Lu family in Zhuo County in his hometown in Zhuo County.

Many people can't adapt to Liu Tao's random changes, but a border king is at least better than not being king for a lifetime.

Before the change, it was almost impossible to become a king, let alone a king, even a prince could not be a prince.

In history, Cao Cao became the Duke of Wei first, which was a temptation, and Xun Yu did not stop it.It was precisely because of this obstruction that when Cao Cao became the king of Wei, he completely lost patience with him and sent him an empty food box.

"Third brother Guan Yu, named General Annan, King Dingxiang!" Liu Tao announced immediately.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Guan Yu stood up slowly and saluted Liu Tao.The expression is very flat, no sadness or joy can be seen.

Not the King of Clouds?Many officials were a little surprised, shouldn't it be Yunzhong after Wuyuan?Why did you jump directly to Dingxiang County next to Yunzhong County? !

Nonsense, now the tax revenue of Yunzhong County is more than that of Wuyuan County, Yanmen County and Dingxiang County combined.Such a border county, Liu Tao will give it to others, that is really lack of heart!

On the contrary, border counties like Dingxiang County, Yanmen County, and Wuyuan County don’t have much tax revenue, and they have to keep transporting materials there.If it is given out, it will be given away. Even if it is to be managed well, it will not be prosperous in a hundred years.

"The fourth brother, Zhang Fei, is General Anbei, stationed in Yunzhong County, and named King of Yanmen!" Liu Tao announced again.

"Observe the order!" Zhang Fei got up immediately and saluted solemnly.

In fact, I was a little moved. At first I thought Liu Tao was interesting, so I started to get in touch with him.Unexpectedly, now, seven years later, the two parties are not only brothers, but the other party has also become emperor, and he himself has been named king.

It is rare that Wuyuan, Yunzhong, Dingxiang and Yanmen, the four counties are adjacent to each other, just like their four brothers united.I don't know whether it was Liu Tao's intention or an unintentional result. Anyway, he is indeed very excited at the moment.
