Chapter 1100 1101 [Power is overwhelming]

Today's Shuowang Dynasty will not involve specific government affairs, and all civil and military officials are well aware of this.

The main contents include three things. The first is the first meeting between the new emperor and all the courtiers. The second is to decide on the temple name and posthumous title of the former emperor. The third is to make the final decision on rewards and punishments for the previous rebellion.

Liu Xian did not follow common sense and preemptively decided on Pei Yue's reward. Then, before the courtiers had calmed down completely, he announced the reward that was drawn up by the two ministers and a group of civil servants and confirmed after repeated discussions between him and the Empress Dowager Wu. posthumous title.

Just listen to Hou Yu read loudly: "The greatness of heaven and earth, the wonderfulness of transformation and education, cannot be named in detail. However, the saint is called Qianyuan, a person who praises him for his greatness, so it is clear that his moral function is so great that it cannot be added." also……"

"...The spirit of the emperor is in the sky, the merits are high, and the sun and the moon are as long as the sun. The ministers strictly abide by the classical posthumous law. The emperor of Daxing respects the posthumous title. He enlightens the sky and promotes the Tao, Gaoming, Zhaoyun, holy martial arts and divine power. The pure benevolence is the emperor of Xiaojing. The temple name is Gaozong. ."

The posthumous text was very long and obscure. Many people on Wu Xun's side were confused by it, and Pei Yue was actually not much better.

He has indeed read a lot of books over the years, but he never weighs every word carefully, he just hopes to understand the history of the world.

Fortunately, he could understand the last sentence, and he couldn't help but sigh.

The posthumous title of Emperor Kaiping was excellent, only inferior to that of Emperor Gaozu who founded Daliang, almost as different from Emperor Taizong, and far better than that of his father, Emperor Zhongzong, and his brother, Emperor Renzong.

The temple title Gaozong also belongs to the first level of honorific titles. After all, there are no figures like Song Gaozong and Zhao Gou in this world.

In fact, Pei Yue knew that Liu Xian was not satisfied with this. The temple name he initially proposed was Shizu. From the records in history books, we can know that although Emperor Shizu was not the founder of the dynasty, he usually started a new period of the dynasty. It can be said that it is the temple name second only to Taizu and Gaozu.

However, the important ministers of the two governments, especially the left-wing leader Mo Haoli, did not agree, because the world was still divided into three parts, and forcibly adding the temple title of Shizu to Emperor Kaiping would make future generations question this.

In the end, it was Empress Dowager Wu who spoke, and Liu Xian was willing to give in and then drafted the name of Gaozong's temple.

Emperor Gaozongjing of Daliang, this was the coffin conclusion of Emperor Kaiping by later generations.

…

When talking about the posthumous title of Emperor Kaiping, the ministers could not help but feel sad. After all, in the past seventeen years, Emperor Kaiping, with the support of civil and military officials, worked diligently on state affairs and made Daliang the leader of the Three Kingdoms.

Therefore, when they next discussed how to deal with the rebellious ministers, the princes in the court showed a rare atmosphere of common hatred.

The Duke of Wei seized his title, and Wang Pingzhang's family was confiscated and his family exterminated.

The Marquis of Changxing was seized of title, and Qujiang was confiscated and his family exterminated.

The marquis of Dingjun seized the title, Luo Huanzhang was hanged, and his son Luo Kedi was demoted to a commoner since his birth.

The Xiongwu Marquis' Mansion, the Runan Marquis' Mansion, the Xuandebo Mansion, etc. all had their titles seized. Lan Yu, Liu Dingyuan, Guo Linxi and others were beheaded.

Most of the generals in the Western Camp of the Beijing Army and some of the generals in the Southern Camp were confiscated from their homes and beheaded. Those who committed minor crimes were not exterminated, but were only sentenced to exile to remote places in the three prefectures of northern Xinjiang.

Everyone in the Ministry of Internal Affairs knew that Hou Yu's mouth was dry and his tongue was dry. There was silence in the palace, and no one interceded for the rebellious ministers.

Pei Yue sighed softly when he heard Luo Huanzhang's name. He had already learned his father's thoughts from Luo Kedi.

Luo Huanzhang, like Shen Moyun, had a death wish early on, so no matter what Pei Yue decided, the other party would not act according to his ideas.

Where there is punishment there is reward, and this is the rule of the court.

As Hou Yu began to read out the imperial court's awards to the officials who had contributed to the rebellion, some courtiers could not help but feel secretly happy in their eyes.

According to Liu Xian's previous reward specifications for Pei Yue, this reward based on merit will definitely not be frivolous.

The first is the auxiliary ministers appointed by Emperor Kaiping after his assassination. Except for Pei Yue, Mo Haoli, Luo Ting and Han Gongduan all received rewards. Among them, Mo Haoli received a jade Ruyi from the Empress Dowager Wu. , and a Book of Songs copied by Liu Xian himself.

Because this veteran of the Four Dynasties already had three sons, we couldn't give him a posthumous title of Wenzheng in advance or let him enjoy the Ancestral Temple.

When Luo Ting and Han Gong were in their forties, they received gifts from one of the three princes, which naturally attracted the envy of countless civil servants.

Li Zi, the commander-in-chief of the Forbidden Army, was awarded the first-class title of Hejian Marquis. Xiao Jin, the Marquis of Xiangcheng, and Guliang, the Marquis of Guangping, who were already first-class Marquis of Guangping, also received the reward of "Shishi Feng" this time.

The former commander-in-chief of the Longgong Camp of the Western Army, Nan'an Hou Suwu, and the commander-in-chief of the Southern Army's Changping Camp, Puding Marquis Chen Huanqin, made great contributions to the rescue. Although his title was not promoted, the former was appointed by Liu Xian as the commander-in-chief of the Western Camp of the Beijing Army, and the latter He took over as the head coach of the South Camp of the Beijing Army.

Pei Yue watched calmly, watching the two middle-aged warriors thanking the saint with tears of gratitude, and couldn't help but think of Emperor Kaiping's painstaking planning before his death.

He knew that these two people were similar to Cai Qian who was stationed in Jiangling City. They were both people encircled by the emperor, and he never thought that he could take away the prestigious military position of the two battalion commanders from Liu Xian. At this moment, he was thinking about his own rise. The speed was too fast, and even if such an opportunity appeared in front of him, he would not have a suitable candidate to promote it.

The generals of the Beiying camp have no shortage of merit, but their qualifications are too young. There is no problem in being the commander of the first guard. It is naturally fanciful to want to get the position of commander of the main camp at the age of more than 20 years old.

At this moment, Hou Yu's slightly sharp voice came into his ears.

"... Qin Xian, the commander of the Wuding Guards in the North Camp of the Beijing Army, served the Wei State for his meritorious service in the rebellion, and was granted the title of Third-Class Pingyang Bo."

Pei Yue's eyes narrowed slightly and he looked at Liu Xian, who was sitting on the dragon chair with a calm expression.

Qin Xian was born in Pingyang Marquis Mansion and was a descendant of the founding prince. His father Qin Huai was a third-class Pingyang Bo when he ascended the throne. Later, when he was stationed in the western border, he abandoned Nanshan Stronghold and the Western Wu cavalry drove straight into Lingzhou. , so he was deprived of his title.

Liu Xian said gently and sincerely: "Duke Wei, I know the origin of Qin Xian's family and he has repeatedly made outstanding achievements under your command. He deserves a reward and cannot refuse it."

Pei Yue came to Lingtai Qingming and said calmly: "Your Majesty, although Qin Xian is under my command, he is your Majesty's minister, and more importantly, Daliang's minister. Therefore, whether it is reward or punishment, it will be decided by your Majesty."

Liu Xian smiled slightly and skipped this section, then looked at Hou Yu who was standing next to him, who continued to preach: "The second-class Dingyuan Bo Pei City defended the city with merit, resisted the rebels, and was seriously injured but still refused to retreat. I hereby confer upon you the rank of First-class Dingyuan Bo and the post of deputy commander of the Kyoto garrison division."

The burly Pei Cheng was also in the Chengtian Hall today. After hearing the words, he came out to thank the order without being arrogant or impetuous. His calm demeanor was quite similar to that of his grandfather Pei Zhen.

Liu Xian glanced at Pei Cheng, then turned to the calm Pei Yue, and couldn't help but sigh secretly.

If he hadn't known about the grievances between Pei Yue and Dingguo Mansion, he would not have wanted to listen to Xiao Jin's advice. Peicheng's title could be increased, but the military position should not be promoted in such a hurry.

But that's fine. Uncle Dingyuan is only one step away from the Marquis. In the future, after Pei Cheng crosses this hurdle, he will be able to guard one side by himself. I don't think Pei Yue will object to this apparent check and balance.

Seeing that Pei Yue never spoke, Liu Xian couldn't help but feel relieved, and then said more calmly: "Duke Wei is good at military affairs. He has not only made many military exploits, but also has works such as Seven Strategies of Cao Dian. Therefore, I think he should be detained."

Being in Beiying would be overkill and underutilized. Dear gentlemen, I would like for Duke Wei to be admitted to the Military Academy as the magistrate, to assist two military counselors in military affairs. What do you think?"

At this point in the court meeting, there are not many ministers who can still stay completely awake, because the announcement of each reward, punishment, and appointment will have a profound impact on the situation of the court in the next few years.

Distance and proximity, gain and loss of interests, these are issues that everyone will inevitably consider.

However, Liu Xian seemed not to be confused enough, so he suddenly threw out this proposal, which immediately stunned many courtiers.

It's not enough to be the Duke of the country, the coach of the Beiying camp, and Fuze's family members, but he also wants Pei Yue to be the counselor of the military aircraft?

Your Majesty, are you too partial to Pei Yue?

It has only been a month since the death of the late emperor, and you are going to forcefully introduce a young prince with all the power in the government?

Liu Xian seemed unaware of the commotion in the court. He just looked at Pei Yue tenderly, his eyes full of expectation and trust.
