Ben Hou is ill

Chapter 143

The Jin inherited the Han system, and at the end of each year, it was a court ceremony.The end of the year before Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was set as September according to the Zhuanxu calendar.

The so-called Chaoyi is the ceremony when the emperor comes to court. The emperor faces south, the Sangong Jiuqing faces north and east, the East Palace faces east and north, courtiers face west and north, and the clan is on the right side of the road gate. From the south to the east, the ritual officer is on the left side of the road gate, facing south to the west.The position of court ceremonies has been determined, the emperor and his ministers bow to each other, and after the ceremony, they leave the court [Note 1]. "Zhou Li Xia Guan Shi Shi" contains: "The position of Zheng Chaoyi, and the distinction between high and low."

Chaoyi is for the monarch and his ministers to worship each other, and the ministers worship the emperor, and the emperor also worships the ministers, so as to correct their identities.

The process of Chaoyi is fixed, as long as it follows the rules and regulations, there will be no problems, but this year is different. This time, Chaoyi coincides with the new emperor's enthronement. In addition to the normal ceremony, there is also the first Worship the ancestors and ancestral temples of heaven and earth, and the two thousand stone officials from various counties and states entered the court to pay homage to the new king.The most troublesome thing is the one-year-old-one-count system.

The Shangji system of the Jin Dynasty also inherited that of the former Han Dynasty. At the end of each year, the counties and states in the world must send people to Chang'an, and the top accounting officials from all over the world gather in Chang'an, carrying the account books for a whole year.According to the regulations, the details of the account book include the status of tax payment, service status and expenditure of each government office. It must be specific to each person in each household, each mu of land, whether to pay taxes, how much paid, service status, Where to serve, the length of time, when to leave and when to return home, whether to bring dry food or government funds, etc. must be clearly recorded.

A prefecture-country has as many as ten or twenty counties, and as few as seven or eight counties, with a population ranging from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands. It is extremely troublesome to calculate.Take Hadong County as an example. There are 24 counties in Hadong with a population of nearly one million. The account books throughout the year are not just a few or dozens of books that can be clearly remembered, but must be pulled by carts. Starting from Hedong, it stretches all the way to Chang'an.

And this kind of scenery is not only the scenery of the Hedong family, there are countless horse-drawn carriages starting from various counties and countries at this time, all the way to Chang'an.In order to ensure that the above-mentioned officials and account books arrive in Chang'an safely, the government offices of each county will conscript hundreds of people, dispatch half or more of the county soldiers in a county, and what's more, they will directly hire people from various counties. The young and strong of the town even asked the local tyrants to pay for the hire of rangers to escort the plan.

It is unavoidable that the officials of the county should not panic, because the accounting is the biggest thing besides spring plowing, autumn harvest, worship, and military use. It is customary for the prime minister to lead six yamen to check and review the accounting books to ensure that no one appears. Trivial error.And once there is a mistake in the calculation, the prime minister will be the first to be questioned by the emperor. In this case, the best result of the prime minister is to beg for bones, and the worst case may even commit suicide to apologize.

And once the prime minister suffers, it will definitely not be easy for the bottom. Regardless of the six yamen, the officials from top to bottom of the county that let the prime minister bear such a big humiliation will be held accountable, and all two thousand to six hundred stones will be thoroughly punished. Check, it's fine if it's clean, once someone's ass is dirty, especially if they touch the ledger, there's nothing else to do but commit suicide, and suicide can at least save the family.Even if the emperor didn't intend to hold him accountable, the important ministers in the court would spontaneously hold the county accountable to prevent this situation from happening again.

No one wants to be killed for no reason, and the result of the plan is related to the evaluation of each county, whether it is upper or upper middle, or falls into middle upper middle, this evaluation determines whether the official will be promoted or stay in place , or even be relegated, be praised or criticized.Therefore, at this time, all places are extremely nervous, especially some county officials with bad reputation, they are even more like enemies, for fear that some nosy ranger will rob the ledger halfway.

The Shangji system did indeed protect the common people, and the emperors of the former Han Dynasty used this system with good intentions.

Yan Zhaoge stood in front of the gate of Weiyang Palace, in front of him, countless carriages full of ledgers passed by, the carriages were connected together, looking far away, there was no end in sight.

"Marquis Yan." The Neifu Ling stood beside her and asked quietly, "Look at that official over there wearing the three-color green ribbon, he looks like he came to Beijing from outside."

Yan Zhaoge raised his eyes and looked at the person mentioned by the inner government order.He is not very old, about four or fifty years old, with a goatee beard, seven patterns on the robe[Note 50], and a three-color green ribbon on his waist, blue, white and red, Chun Qinggui, seven feet long, one hundred and twenty [ Note 2].The official seal was carried in the pocket at the waist[Note 3], and it was impossible to see what color it was, but seeing that he looked very strange, he was probably not a Jingchen, but was summoned to Chang'an by the eldest princess' edict.

Before the court ceremony, the eldest princess issued an edict ordering the local two thousand stones with a term of more than five years to come to Beijing to report on their duties during the court ceremony.

Although it was a means of calling the former Jinan prefect and the current Guangling prefect into Chang'an, the two thousand stones of the place with a term of more than five years were not the only Guangling prefect.The second subjugation of the former Han Dynasty was because the two thousand stones in the local area lasted for more than ten years. They were deeply rooted in the local area and colluded with the local tyrants. In the end, the Chang'an decree lost its effectiveness. In addition, the emperor was young at that time, so the king did not act The king and the minister are not ministers.In order to prevent this kind of situation from happening again, it is reasonable for the eldest princess to call these two thousand stones from places where the term of office exceeds the limit into Chang'an.

No one would suspect that the eldest princess had other thoughts.

Just like the branching of the Langya Chen family, no one would have guessed that it was only because of Ji Jun's reasonable identity at first. Thinking of this, Yan Zhaoge couldn't help but glance at the people behind him.

Standing a few steps behind her, Lu Chenghou's complexion improved a lot for the first time, and he even smiled at the lieutenant who offended him last time, which made people wonder.

What good thing happened to be so happy?

"Marquis Yan?"

Yan Zhaoge came back to his senses, glanced at the inner government order, and said, "I don't know if he came to Beijing from outside, why don't you ask?"

The Neifu Ling touched a small nail, and smiled embarrassingly.But he couldn't help but slander in his heart: Why is this Marquis of Yan so difficult to get close to?

Something good happened to Lu Chenghou.

He sent people to the village built on the ruins of Juncheng to inquire if there was a boy without father and mother who lived here with a baby. A boy who looks good but is alone, finally got the news from an old man.It is said that when Jun City was just broken more than ten years ago, the city was in chaos, and a large number of people ran out of the city with their families and their families. Running around the city, he saw with his own eyes that the boy buried things in many places. In the past, there must have been countless people who were very curious about what the boy buried, but in troubled times, nothing is more important than life. So he didn't care.When the Huns retreated, he returned to live in Juncheng. When he remembered this incident, he dug out the thing from the location he still remembered, but it was a wooden sign with words engraved on it.

The wood is high-quality Populus euphratica, which is very difficult to rot. It looks like a piece was forcibly broken from something, and there are signs of fracture at both ends.There are some words engraved on it, and the old man thinks that this child may be separated from his family. It is obviously impossible to stay after the city is broken, but the world is so big, once he leaves, it may be a luxury to find his relatives , he engraved this thing and buried it in the ground, hoping that his family members would find it when they came back to look for him. Even if he died in the end, he would give his family an explanation.

The old man gave the wooden sign to the people sent by Lu Chenghou, and Lu Chenghou's people ordered people to send it back to Chang'an, and it was in Lu Chenghou's hands.

The handwriting on the wooden sign was twisted and crooked, deep and shallow, and it looked like it was carved by a non-moving carver with all his strength.The wooden sign was only the size of two palms, densely engraved with small characters, and engraved on the front: My younger sister was given to someone else to be raised.The opposite is: I'm hiding in the cellar.

When Lu Chenghou looked at this thing, tears came down. What kind of wooden sign is this? This is a wooden sword he made for his eldest son, but now it looks like this.If it wasn't for the words on it that gave him some comfort, he would have almost burst into tears.

His son, his daughter may still be alive... Lu Chenghou knelt in the newly built Chang'an Chen's Ancestral Hall, crying and laughing, happy and guilty, if he had taken people back to search carefully after the Huns retreated, instead of If he returned to Chang'an in a state of despair after picking up his dead wife's body, would he be able to find Chen Xuan who was hiding in the cellar, maybe even his daughter could be found too... But everything is just if, but at least he is still alive, he sons and daughters are still alive.Lu Chenghou talked with his deceased wife's spirit seat all night, but he was still in good spirits when he went to court the next day.

Now he is only looking forward to other things buried in the old man's mouth. Since Chen Xuan is hiding in the cellar of Juncheng, maybe before he leaves Juncheng, he will bury some wooden signs with engraved words, such as records Knowing his whereabouts and so on... Even if there is only a slight possibility, he will find his son back.

As for the family property that Langya Chen's branch clan lost that could not be recovered long ago, what is it?If he really wanted to look for it, he wouldn't have been silent all these years.Today's Chang'an Chen's family property is only a little richer than ordinary wealthy households. Anyone who looks at it is very relieved. If it is like his grandfather at that time, rich as an enemy, and the land is connected, the eldest princess will probably think about how to harvest these fields. If you go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, at worst, you will be sent to the national treasury.Those speech officials who like to chase other people's butts and spit slobber most will probably also stare at him, and the gain outweighs the loss.

He doesn't like pleasure, nor does he like beauties and concubines, so what's the use of asking for so much money?It is only reasonable to live this life in peace and stability, and it would be great if you can find your children back.As for what to do with Lu Chenghou's mansion after his death, that is Chen Hua's business. Since the Tian family personally sent someone to select the successor, then it seems that Lu Chenghou's title will not be abandoned, and Chen Du... Lu Chenghou is now Thinking of Chen Du gave me a headache, and I was too lazy to take care of this son anymore.

Anyway, he doesn't need a son anymore.Lu Chenghou straightened his clothes, with a smile on his face.

Yan Zhaoge looked at Lu Chenghou's complexion from the corner of his eye, but he still seemed to be quite happy. She was very curious in her heart, eager to know what happened.

To ask, or not to ask?

While she was struggling in her heart, Si Jianhong, who had become Deng Guogong, came over and said, "Marquis Yan, Jiushu greetings."

"I don't dare to take it." Yan Zhaoge smiled back at him, saying: "Deng Guogong's future is boundless, seeing that he is on the rise, if he attains the Dao one day, I hope to support him."

Si Jianhong laughed and said: "Marquis Yan is joking, rather than waiting for me to reach the top of the world, I should look at the two thousand stones from these counties. Whether it is Lord Pingshan or Duke Deng, they are just empty titles. It is worthy of these people with real talents and real learning.”

The speaker has no intention, the listener has the heart.

The goatee-bearded county, Two Thousand Stones, was not far away. He heard the conversation between Yan Zhaoge and Si Jianhong, his complexion changed suddenly, and he even took a step back.His big movements immediately attracted the attention of the people around him.

Si Jianhong didn't notice him at first, so he couldn't help turning his eyes away when he saw this. He was taken aback for a moment, and then revealed some doubts. He looked at the other party carefully, suddenly smiled playfully, and said, "Isn't this Jinan?" Prefect?"

His tone was very meaningful, but anyone who listened to it could understand some of the deep meaning in it. As for what to understand, it varies from person to person.

Goatee's face changed drastically, and he said, "You're mistaken, the next official is not the prefect of Jinan..."

Yan Zhaoge interjected, "You are the former Jinan prefect, now the Guangling prefect?"

Goatee - Guangling prefect's face suddenly became very pale.

Si Jianhong looked at him with a half-smile, and said: "It turned out that he was transferred to Guangling and shaved his beard. Why, now you don't take Zhuang Muhou's beautiful beard as your ambition?"

"You are joking, Deng Guogong."

"I'm not joking. You left Jinan and went to Guangling, prefect. Could it be that Guangling also has a Hong family that needs to be wiped out by you? But don't forget that the Prince Li's Mansion sealed in Guangling is not the Prince's Mansion of Jinan."

After Si Jianhong finished speaking, he left.

The prefect of Guangling stood there alone with a stiff expression.

Seeing this, Yan Zhaoge didn't know that this person was involved in the annihilation of the Hong family, and he even sent someone to do it.I thought that Si Jianhong would never be able to turn himself over for the rest of his life, but he never thought that Si Jianhong has now become Deng Guogong. There are hundreds of monarchs in the clan, but only a few kings. There are no more than ten kings or dukes Numbers, what matters most.Feng Guogong is either the heir of a certain emperor, or he is valued by the heavenly family, such as King Fu of Li, etc., or King Changle of Liaodong.

This Deng Guogong is obviously the latter, but he is definitely not something that a mere two thousand stones can afford.

The prefect of Guangling thought about it for a long time, and then suddenly realized that no matter how important the Heavenly family is, this person is also the heir of the Prince of Jinan. The Hong family's extermination had the approval of the Jinan Palace. Would he dare to violate the law and report on his grandfather and grandmother, or would he dare to report on his father?

Yan Zhaoge saw that his complexion was getting better, determined to add fuel to the fire, and said: "This Deng Guogong is the eldest son of Emperor Renzong and the heir of King Cao Kang. He has adopted the old title of King Cao Kang and named him Duke Deng."

Guangling prefect: "..."

Seeing Guangling prefect's face turn pale again, Yan Zhaoge nodded in satisfaction, feeling a lot more at ease.

After the chariots and horses entered the palace one after another, the eastern sky gradually turned white.

Peace has arrived. [Note 5]

Hundreds of civil and military officials, honored and noble clans, entered the palace according to their official titles.

Along the way, there were many armored soldiers, Weiyang Palace guards, Huben battalion officers, Jinyi guards, etc., with armor on their bodies and weapons in their hands, they were all ready to guard against accidents.

The eldest princess first dressed up in her own bedroom, and then went to Weiyang Palace, and carried the little emperor who was raised in Jiaofang Hall to Weiyang Palace's bedroom, with jade seals and yellow red ribbons on her waist, and four colors of yellow, red and cyanotic ribbons on the ribbons. It is two feet nine feet nine inches long and has five hundred poems [Note 6].Coupled with the long sword used by the emperor Shizu during the Northern Expedition, this is the real sword of the emperor of the Jin Dynasty. The one given to the courtiers is just an ordinary sword forged by the Ministry of Internal Affairs under the emperor's preference, but it is engraved with the old sword of the emperor who bestowed the sword. The name is taboo, and the sword is named after this name.

The eldest princess hugged the little emperor, stood in front of the bedroom, and asked, "Have all the ministers arrived?"

Huang Menling said: "Everyone is here."

This is an inherent process.

The eldest princess paused for a moment, then asked again: "Can the Marquis of Yan come?"

Huang Menling was stunned for a moment, although he didn't understand why the eldest princess made such an unnecessary move, he still said: "The Marquis of Yan has arrived."

The eldest princess felt a little regretful when she asked, how could it be possible for Yan Zhaoge not to attend such an important occasion?But since she didn't know why she asked, she wouldn't show it on her face, as if she just asked on a whim.

Huang Menling went on to say: "Your Majesty, please move to the Xuanshi Hall to comfort the ministers."

The eldest princess nodded and walked towards the chariot.She is very familiar with the process of Chaoyi.From the time when the first emperor was the crown prince, she accompanied the first emperor at every court ceremony, and when the first emperor ascended the throne, she also participated in the court ceremony in person as an auxiliary minister.

First assisting the prince, then assisting the emperor, and now acting as the emperor's regent, the feeling in my heart is a bit complicated and difficult to understand.

Around the chariot were hundreds of soldiers from the Huben camp, led by Captain Huben, waiting for them.

Seeing the arrival of the eldest princess, Captain Huben stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, Captain Huben, please take the chariot for the time being. Your Majesty is invited to take the chariot!"

The eldest princess boarded the chariot and walked all the way to the Xuanshi Hall. Along the way, there was a soldier at five steps and a banner at ten steps. Everywhere you saw were soldiers of the Great Jin Dynasty.Even with a peek, one can know that the Weiyang Palace has now become a huge barracks.

It would be a big joke if the duke of the Kingdom of Shu was called into trouble again under such circumstances.The eldest princess thought, but to this day, she still doesn't understand why the Duke of Shu can control Weiyang Palace so easily.

This question will probably accompany her for the rest of her life.

The chariot drove directly into the inner palace of Weiyang Palace, where the eldest princess hugged the little emperor and got out of the chariot. Here, the empress dowager Zhao and empress dowager Chen were already waiting here.

Just after Pingming, the rooster crowed.

The eldest princess hugged the little emperor and entered the Xuanshi Hall from the inner palace of the Xuanshi Hall while sitting.

Tai Chang kowtowed and said: "Your Majesty, the auspicious time has come, please come on board!"

The eldest princess said: "Yes."

Huang Menling who was waiting at the side immediately said loudly: "Your Majesty said: Yes!"

The officials immediately kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty is welcome!"

Surrounded by the elite of the Huben camp, the eldest princess walked forward step by step, stepped on the imperial street, and walked up to the emperor's throne. She only hesitated for half a breath before choosing to hold the little emperor and sit on it instead of Put the little emperor down and stand aside by himself.

The implications of these two choices are vastly different.

The eldest princess said: "Zhuqing is in peace."

Taichang concealed the shock in his eyes very well, and said loudly: "The emperor ordered all the officials to die."

The officials stood up and lined up on both sides with civil and military, and there were honorable clans in between. Everyone saw the eldest princess sitting on the emperor's throne.

If it weren't for Chaoyi who absolutely cannot riot at this time, the officials might immediately be in an uproar.But if this is the case, there are also officials who look eager to try, showing regret.

Then the Sangong Jiuqing offered congratulatory gifts to the emperor in turn.

The right minister led Jiuqing forward, the left minister led officials who were better than Jiuqing, the Taiwei led the general who had opened his teeth and built a mansion, and said together: "The ministers and others congratulate your majesty, and may my emperor live forever." !"

The prime minister (Taiwei) presented the gift, and the eldest princess stood up and replied, "I would like to thank the prime minister (Taiwei) for the gift."

Feng Wang, Jiuqing, General, and Bijiuqing offered gifts, and the eldest princess got up and replied: "I thank you all for your congratulations."

Yan Zhaoge came out respectfully and presented a piece of fine jade pendant with the same heart. The eldest princess slightly pursed her lips and said, "I thank Marquis Yan for the gift."

Yan Zhaoge knew that she was about to laugh again, so he retreated obediently to prevent the Eldest Princess from laughing.

But in the eyes of the unknowing courtiers, they couldn't help but feel suspicious.The eldest princess still smiled slightly when she looked at others, why did she even put on a serious face when she looked at Marquis Yan?Could it be that the two had a disagreement?

For congratulatory gifts below two thousand stones, the eldest princess does not need to thank her personally, but Tai Chang will accept them on her behalf.

After that, the most important thing for Chaoyi is positioning.

The position of the important ministers at the first court ceremony after the new king ascended the throne determines the position of the minister in the court for this year and even the next few years. .When the first emperor came to the throne, the assistant chief princess sat first, so the eldest princess overwhelmed the officials and rectified the government, but the prime minister and Taiwei dared not speak.

The eldest princess sat upright, pondered for a moment, and said: "The right minister has done a lot of hard work, and I give you a seat!"

Right Prime Minister was also taken aback for a moment before being led by the eunuch to sit under the imperial steps.He never expected that the eldest princess would let him sit in this position. When the late emperor was alive, he would often compete with the eldest princess for his own ideas, but now he had no choice but to avoid the eldest princess. He never expected that the eldest princess would be like this look up to him.

The eldest princess chose him for only one reason.

There is no aristocratic family behind the right minister, and his wife is Gu Shize's widow, who is also not from a noble family, so it doesn't take much effort to win or find a reason to relegate. Moreover, the right minister has no son and confiscated his disciples. The only daughter is still a stepdaughter. The marriage is not entirely up to him, which means that it is not particularly legitimate for him to support his son-in-law.In this way, after the Right Prime Minister takes office, he will definitely have a cold tea, and there will be no risk of forming a party at all.

So who is the second?Captain?Or Leftist?

Without waiting for the officials to speculate, the eldest princess said: "Lu Chenghou is the brother of the empress dowager, but he can relieve my worries, stick to my heart, be honest and love the people, I am very comforted. Give me a seat!"

Lu Chenghou was still in a daze when he sat down.

The reason for pointing at Lu Chenghou is that the Chen family has just been split into two, and the Chen family's past reputation is still on the Langya Chen family. Lu Chenghou only established the Chang'an Chen family lineage, but he has no outstanding achievements. In the past, he did not lose face in terms of offspring , Lu Chenghou is the elder brother of the Empress Dowager Chen, who represents the empress dowager's face, and the empress dowager represents the emperor's face. If people see clearly like this, then he will be a member of the Tian family.

"The Taishi is talented and knowledgeable, he is generous with both literature and martial arts, and he is loyal to the country. I am very good, and I give you a seat!"

Master?who?

Isn't there only one young master among the three masters and three masters?

The officials were still wondering who the grand master was, so they saw Shi Shiran, the commander of Jin Yiwei, Yanhou Yan Zhaoge, stepping forward, thanking him and sitting under the imperial steps.After seeing Yan Zhaoge get up, these people belatedly remembered that Yan Zhaoge was worshiped as the crown prince's grand teacher in the late emperor's edict, and the crown prince ascended the throne, so naturally he became the grand teacher.

Prime Minister Zuo, who was waiting eagerly, almost lost his breath.

fart!

What kind of "I am very good" is this, it is simply your eldest princess's very good!
