As soon as the edict was completed, the minister of Dali Temple immediately stood beside the prince with the document in hand.

"In October of the eighth year of Yuankang, the emperor issued an edict, saying: "I have suffered a long time ago, and I am overwhelmed with guilt. Relying on the legacy of my ancestors, and being the prime minister and auxiliary of the loyal and virtuous, I was able to rest my body on the group of queens. I didn't know the way, and I didn't understand the purpose.

Training, trembling in battle, and vigilance in the evening. When people are sad and confused, they do three things, but the most important thing is the country. They follow the rules of the wing room, and they still want to serve the system of the late emperor, so they have the title of Yuankang. However, today

The month has passed, and a new chapter has been introduced, the Kaiyuan Yiji, and the old chapter of Rites. It was changed to the eighth year of Yuankang as the first year of Yongjia."

As soon as the Minister of Dali Temple finished speaking, His Highness Taiji's ministers bowed their heads and bowed again, shouting loudly: "Long live your Majesty."

His Highness Taiji and his ministers shouted long live, and the shouts of long live in the Taiji Hall spread to outside the Taiji Hall. The imperial guards and maids guarding the palace shouted: "Long live your Majesty, may the Jin Dynasty live forever."

The shouts of long live the palace spread outside the palace. On Zhuque Street, men from all families went out one after another, knelt down on both sides of Zhuque Road, and shouted: "Long live your Majesty, may the Jin Dynasty live forever."

The sound then spread further.

The whole of Luoyang fell into a long-lasting cry of long live.

In the Taiji Hall, Sima Yu was wearing a dragon robe and an emperor's crown. At this moment, all his gaze was down, and all the courtiers were kneeling, and no one looked up.

Emperor, emperor, supreme.

Sima Yue was in a very excited mood at this time.

He is the emperor.

He has taken the throne of emperor!

This world is lonely.

No!

This world belongs to me.

call

Sima Yu took a deep breath, waved his sleeves and embraced the world, and slowly spat out some trembling words:

"I have come to the throne to bring blessings to all people. From now on, I will grant amnesty to the whole world. Those who accompany me on the throne, both internal and external, will be conferred with honors and honors for three days."

The emperor has ascended the throne, and those criminals are probably smiling crookedly now.

Wang Sheng thought to himself.

Of course, his thoughts did not last long before they were covered up by the voice of the mountain.

"Your Majesty, the world is grateful for your kindness, and the gods are in sight."

In the sound of the mountain calling, Wang Sheng was also caught up in it.

I have to say that this drama of the emperor's ascension to the throne is really ceremonial.

"From now on, we will announce to the world that the new emperor has ascended the throne!"

Because of the death of Emperor Hui of the Jin Dynasty, when Sima Yu was traveling, the elegant music suddenly stopped, and instead the drum tower in the palace rang the mourning bell.

Sima Yu walked down the stairs of Taiji Hall step by step. Every step he took, there was a shout of "Long Live" from below.

The tall and luxurious imperial chariot was parked in the middle of Tai Chi Hall.

This chariot is pulled by nine white horses. The chariot is as big as a small courtyard and is extremely luxurious.

The mourning bells stopped, the elegant music started, the singers sang the new emperor's enthronement movement, and the officials followed the imperial carriage and walked out of the palace.

Walk along Zhuque Street towards the south gate.

Along the way, the people shouted long live, and on both sides of the team, there were hundreds of internal prisoners, holding baskets in their hands, constantly scattering loose five-baht coins outside.

Suddenly, the shouts of long live became even louder.

After exiting the south gate, officials stood on both sides of the south gate.

The imperial carriage passed through the funeral palace outside the city, and the new emperor got off to pay homage to the late emperor.

After that, he turned back to the south gate, where the ministers congratulated him, the officials scattered money, and then they headed towards the palace in a bustling crowd.

When we returned to Tai Chi Hall, it was already noon.

The emperor bathed and changed his clothes.

He and his ministers walked towards the Ancestral Temple.

The process is really complicated.

After everyone returned from the Ancestral Temple, the sky was already dark.

The ministers resigned, and the succession ceremony came to an end.

To Wang Sheng's great disappointment, it seemed that the officials would no longer be able to award the reward today and would have to wait until tomorrow.

This time, Emperor Sima Yu did not keep Wang Sheng, but asked him to return to Jingu Garden.

In fact, most of the courtiers left the palace.

But the bustling Tai Chi Hall is not empty.

Five people including the Crown Prince He Shao, Pingyuan King Sima Qian, Sikong Zhang Hua, Liang King Sima Tong, and Northern Army Zhonghou Wang Yan were in the side hall of Taiji Hall at this time.

These five people can be said to be the core team of the new emperor.

Of course, it is the current core team.

After all, someone who is truly Sima Yu is not qualified to hold a high position.

They are all too young.

This is also the reason why the prince in the Western Han Dynasty had to wait for seven to eight years or even more than ten years.

The prince has been working for a long time and has his own team.

Only someone can change the basic base to one of their own in one fell swoop.

Sima Yu's crown prince has been working for a short time, but the team has not been fully established.

The reason is naturally because Jia Nanfeng.

With Jia Nanfeng infiltrating the crown prince's uterus, Sima Yu had no other choice but to become a ridiculous prince. Therefore, even though Sima Yu had been the prince for several years, the team was still not fully established.

For the current plan, of course I have to use my former ministers.

"Everyone, the rewards for the other people can be according to the old system, but there are two of them, you don't know how to reward them?"

The Crown Prince and Grand Master He Shao has reached the age where he knows his destiny. Before, between Jia Nanfeng and the Crown Prince, he chose not to support either one.

But after all, he still had some affection for the prince, and coupled with his relationship in the palace, He Shao still had some respect in the eyes of the world.

Therefore, he was also involved in the awarding of awards and was given important responsibilities by Sima Yu.

Sima Qian, the king of Pingyuan, was stunned for a moment and asked: "Which two people?"

Even Liang Wang Sima Tong was attracted by He Shao's words.

"Sheng Wang of Luoyang, there is another one, Wang Dun, the minister of Huangmen."

Hearing Wang Dun's voice, Wang Yan's eyes suddenly flashed.

"What's the problem? Just stick to the old system."

Sima Qian said nonchalantly.

"I can't see it."

Zhang Hua stood up at this time.

"The Prince of Luoyang is a popular person around His Majesty. If according to the old system, the Prince of Luoyang is not a high-ranking family, a non-clan, and an undecided title. However, if he cannot be knighted, he will be a knight. At most, he will have the lowest title.

, at most, the Marquis of Guanwai, but His Majesty certainly does not want to give the King of Luoyang the title of Marquis of Guanwai."

The implication is that if Wang Sheng were to award the title according to the old system, the title would be too low.

"I think I'll give him a marquis outside Guan, a man of humble background. If he is granted the title of high nobility, wouldn't it make the world laugh at him?"

At this time, Liang Wang Sima Tong stood up and expressed his stance.

Zhang Hua was not surprised at all by the attitude of Liang Wang Sima Tong.

Sima Wei, courtesy name Ziwei, was a minister and member of the clan of the Western Jin Dynasty.

The eighth son of Sima Yi, Emperor Xuan of Jin Dynasty, Sima Shi, Emperor Jing of Jin Dynasty, and the younger brother of Sima Zhao, Emperor Wen of Jin Dynasty. His mother is Mrs. Zhang.

Sima Wei was a quiet and self-cultivated man, respectful and cautious.

He first served in the Cao Wei Dynasty and was granted the title of Marquis Ping Le Ting.

After the establishment of the five-class system, Kaiping County was sealed.

After the establishment of the Western Jin Dynasty, he was granted the title of King of Liang, worshiped as Beizhonglang General, guarded Yecheng, moved to Pingdong General, guarded Xuchang, transferred to General Andong, guarded Qingxu, became General of Wei, recorded Shangshu affairs, and was the crown prince's Taibao.

He came out as a servant, General of the Expedition to the West, and guarded Guanzhong. He had a conflict with General Zhou Chu of Jianwei, and urged Zhou Chu to attack the Di leader Qi Wannian, and then cut off support, causing him to be defeated and killed in battle.

He became the leading general, recorded the affairs of the minister, and attached himself to his younger brother, King Sima Lun of Zhao.

In other words, Sima Tong, the king of Liang, was the lackey of the king of Zhao.

King Zhao's son died in Nanying. Even though Sima Yu deliberately kept the news secret, the news reached King Zhao's ears.

Given Wang Sheng's current status and Sima Yu's distrust of him.

No matter how angry King Zhao was, he had to swallow it.

But Sima Tong, the king of Liang, had no such scruples.

It would be the best thing if Wang Sheng could be disgusted with the matter of the title.

"It's just a humble person. Your Majesty is young, so he was fascinated by the boy's sweet words. You are all queens of high families, and you, King Pingyuan, are the representatives of your clan. Could it be that you still want to let Your Majesty do this in this wrong way?

Is the road getting farther and farther?”

"this"

King Pingyuan was stunned for a moment, and he chose to remain silent at this time.

"It's hard to say this."

He Shao also made peace with the mud.

"I wonder what the Northern Army Lieutenant thinks?"

Wang Yan, who was silent on the side, was asked by He Shao, with an innocent expression.

But everyone's eyes were fixed on him.

Although Wang Yan was only the middle prince of the Northern Army, he wanted a reputation, a status, and a close relationship with the prince. If nothing else, the future queen would be his daughter.

It can be said that he is the most powerful foreign relative in modern times.

In addition, he has the support of Langya Wang family.

"This is hard to say."

Wang Yan had just asked Wang Huifeng to please Wang Sheng before, so naturally he would not dig a hole for Wang Sheng now.

Wang Huifeng was Sima Yu's bedfellow. Wang Yanke understood Sima Yu's attitude toward Wang Sheng better than the other four people in the palace.

"Why is it so difficult to say? Could it be that the noble Langya Wang family is actually afraid of a Luoyang prince? The dignified Lieutenant Commander of the Northern Army and the leader of the Shilin family, is he afraid of a young man who comes from a humble background, has not yet reached the crown, and has not even grown his hair?"

The words of King Liang were not polite at all.

"After all, Wang Sheng of Luoyang is a popular prince, so it is better for Prince Liang to be cautious in his words."

Wang Yan reminded from the side.

"Could that kid still be able to take action against me?"

He is a prince and has a very high seniority.

Even Sima Yu would treat him with the utmost courtesy, let alone someone from a humble background.

That kid, what is he afraid of?

"It is absolutely impossible to be a Marquis outside the Pass. The last thing to do is to give it to a County Marquis."

"County Marquis?"

Sima Tong immediately laughed.

"A boy with no hair growing up has the title of county marquis, so do you think that my title of grand promotion is available to everyone?"

To be honest, the title of county marquis is not a high title, and certainly not a low title.

The titles include king, duke, marquis, uncle, son, male, founding county Duke, founding county Duke, founding county marquis, founding county marquis, founding marquis, founding uncle, founding son, founding male, founding marquis of Xiangting, and founding marquis of Guannei.

No one who is not a prince can be crowned king. The title of the clan includes duke, marquis, uncle and son. For males, there are also distinctions between county prince, county prince, county prince and county prince.

The meritorious officials include the Duke of Kaiguo County, the Duke of Kaiguo County, the Marquis of Kaiguo County, the Marquis of Kaiguo County, the Marquis of Kaiguo, the Son of Kaiguo, the Male of Kaiguo, the Marquis of Xiangting and Tinghou, the Marquis of Guannei, the Marquis of Guanwai, etc.

In the Western Jin Dynasty, the word "founding the country" was added to the fifth-class nobility. It was less common in the Western Jin Dynasty. In the Eastern Jin Dynasty, it was mostly used to reward heroes of the opposite sex. Since it was established soon, it was often mixed with the original fifth-class nobility and was still used in later generations.

In terms of official rank, the founding county prince is the first rank, the county prince is the first rank, the county marquis, uncle and son of the founding country are the second rank, the county marquis is the third rank, the township marquis is the fourth rank, the pavilion marquis is the fifth rank, the name marquis within the pass is the sixth rank, and the marquis outside the pass is the seventh rank.

The county marquis is a third-grade noble. Considering Wang Sheng's qualifications, he is certainly not qualified.

But his contribution is great!

Besides, the current emperor values ​​him.

The feudal system largely depends on the thoughts of the ruler, that is, the emperor.

What's the use if the ministers refuse what the emperor wants?

"What do the Crown Prince and Grand Master think?"

Wang Yan threw the ball to He Shao.

"this matter"

He Shao glanced at King Liang and then at Wang Yan.

"Perhaps the title of County Marquis is indeed higher, why not give it to a rural Marquis? What do you think?"

Country lord?

King Liang frowned.

In his opinion, this title is still too high.

"Why don't we just give him a middle-class background, what do you guys think?"

The King of Liang was even more outspoken and did not even want to give Wang Sheng the title.

"inappropriate."

Wang Yan's brows furrowed.

Sima Qian, King of Pingyuan, also shook his head slightly.

"Prince Liang, please don't be emotional."

"Everyone, since you are still unsure about the matter of Luoyang Wangsheng's ennoblement, why don't we talk about Wang Dun, the minister of Huangmen."

Zhang Hua is diverting attention.

"good."

Wang Yan nodded slightly.

"Based on his status as Huangmen's servant, coupled with his title, background, and merits, I think he should be the Duke of the county. What do you think?"

Now Wang Dun's title is no more than that of Xiang Hou. Xiang Hou was suddenly promoted to the title of Duke of Kaiguo County. This was a promotion to the fourth rank in a row.

Moreover, for those who were given the title of "Founding the Nation", the number of titles they received with the title of "Founding the Nation" in the history of the dynasty was only ten fingers.

"It's definitely a bit higher."

Zhang Hua also expressed his stance.

"I don't think this title is high. After all, Wang Dun, the minister of Huangmen, led the troops into the palace, and he took the first credit in redressing the rebellion."

Wang Yan spoke very calmly on the side, without even twitching his eyelids.

"This title is too high."

Even though Liang Wang Sima Tong was afraid of the power of the Langya Wang family, he still had to say that this title was too high.

After all, Wang Dun is young, and he is now the Duke of the Founding County. If he has merit in the future, wouldn't he be granted the title of Duke of the Founding County?

Could it be that he wants to be crowned king with a different surname in the future?

"What do you think of King Pingyuan?"

Wang Yan fixed his gaze on Sima Qian.

"this"

Naturally, he didn't want to offend the Langya Wang family.

Before, it was the Luoyang Jia family who achieved enlightenment, but now, apart from the royal family, the most prominent one is obviously the Langya Wang family.

"Not as good as"

Sima Qian's eyes lit up, and he thought of a way to get the best of both worlds.

"Since none of you can make a decision, it's better to leave the decision-making power to Your Majesty."

"no!"

Liang Wang Sima Tong immediately opposed it.

If the decision-making power is given to the new emperor, how low will the title of Wang Sheng of Luoyang be?

"His Royal Highness Prince Liang, this list will be handed over to His Majesty sooner or later. If His Majesty sees that Wang Sheng of Luoyang does not even have a title, do you think His Majesty will approve this reward?"

"this"

Sima Tong snorted lightly and fell silent.

He actually thought that the current emperor was still Sima Zhong.

That idiot emperor.

The previous memorials did not need to be shown to the emperor.

Now, the emperor is not stupid, of course this memorial must be shown to the emperor.

"Then I will leave the matter of Huangmen Shilang and Luoyang Wangsheng to Your Majesty."

Zhang Hua took the initiative to speak.

"This is the only way."

He Shao agreed.

"I also agree."

Sima Qian, the king of Pingyuan, expressed his attitude.

"snort!"

King Liang hummed lightly, acquiescing.

Although Wang Yan was not satisfied with the current result, four of the five people had already nodded. Even if he didn't agree, it would be of no use.

"That's it."

The previous chapter has been blocked.

hehe.
Chapter completed!
