Usually the ministers say to the king that they are not really afraid, as if the ministers tell the king that they are not really going to die, but they are just forming a kind of "opening statement" because of their special status.
This time it was a little different, Liu Yan's words sounded very heavy, and he was already asking who the country was built for, which would make the hundred officials have a lot of imagination in their heads, such as the king felt that the ministers were deceiving, cunning, disobedient, and so on.
The relationship between the king and the minister is one of subordination and confrontation.
When the king's power is too great, it means that the power of the ministers is reduced to a minimum, and even the power of the kings is constantly in fear.
In the same way, when the power of the ministers is great, the power of the king will be reduced, and it will be time for the king to live in fear.
Once the relationship between monarchs and ministers in all dynasties is unbalanced, it is the beginning of the country's misfortune, even if the wise king has too much power, only one mistake in his life will plunge the country into turmoil, the most obvious example is Tang Xuanzong Li Longji.
The king should always be an arbiter and chess player, and should not personally participate in the game, Liu Yan's power is certainly unshakeable, he has always been an arbiter and chess player.
That's why he said those words that would carry weight.
The ministers who knelt on the ground, panic is really panic, they met a king who no one can shake, as a minister, there are no good cards in their hands to play with, and there is naturally nothing to do if they are not targeted by the king, once the king decides who to take care of, that person is still the best person to accept the king's ruling.
Life will definitely make mistakes in the world, and those who have power in their hands will have a greater chance of making mistakes, but those who have power are absolutely not innocent, and the difference is whether the mistakes made are big, or whether the king pursues them or not.
"The Hu people have ravaged the Central Plains for decades, and the widows have led the people to rescue the people from the cowardly weeping, and they have continued the great cause of the Han family."
Liu Yan's posture at this moment looks very lonely, he is asking himself, and he is also asking the hundred officials: "Now there are strong enemies peeping outside, and there are people living in hardship inside, and there are three or four remnants of the old land of the Han family that have not been recovered, but there are people among you who are unknown."
First the kings, followed by you, represent a change in the king's attitude.
The hundred officials in the main hall, if you count it according to the nine-rank Zhongzheng system, only a very few are nine-grade officials, and the rest are at least four-rank and above.
They can be said to be the ruling class of the Han state, and they are also the people with the greatest vested interests, and they basically know what ambitions the king has and what kind of environment the country faces.
The strength of the Han State can be seen from the fact that it is a country that fights the world, and it is not afraid of any enemy when it comes to conquering the Han State, and it has never doubted that the Han State will fully recover the old land of the Han family.
It is estimated that the conclusion that the Han Kingdom will definitely dominate the world was drawn from the easy destruction of the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and some people's thinking is really changing.
Taking Sang Yu as an example, when the Han State was only a state with Qingzhou, he never thought of using the convenience of his identity to seek benefits for his family, and even before the Han army captured Yanzhou and Yuzhou, the situation was not really clear, it can be said that he was dedicated to the public.
He began to work for the benefit of his family after the results of the Huaishui War, and this change was not too unusual, because he was not alone.
In a high position, he has always upheld the public heart, or the will of the king, is the only one who is headed by Ji Chang.
There is nothing wrong with him really being loyal to the king, and in his heart he actually longs for the king's great cause to be realized, that is, starting from the Central Plains, and then fully recovering the old land of the Han family, and finally sweeping all countries to rule the entire world island.
There are not many people who know Liu Yan's ambitions, but there are not many serious people.
In these people's cognition, the "world" has never been limited to the scope of the former Han Empire, even if they know that the world is not so small, but as if they are hypnotized, they basically ignore how much land there is.
It can be said that in the past dynasties, the "world" has always been really just that big, taking the places once occupied by the Han Empire as the basic plate, at most counting the grasslands and the western plateau, and the rest of the places will only be dismissed as "wild land" or "barren land", which can be easily occupied and will not be looked at more.
Maybe it's not just short-sightedness, it's constraints, or the cost of occupation is too great The Han Empire expanded repeatedly, and after occupying the grasslands, they were somewhat helpless and were surprised to find that the grasslands were not suitable for farming.
However, after the collapse of the Qin Empire, the Han and Miao descendants have lost this "skill" of herding, and cannot form sufficient benefits, but the payment is a drag on the national finances.
They expanded westward to the Western Regions, and found that the Western Regions was a barren land with many Gobi and deserts, and there was nothing but sand to the west of the Western Regions.
When the Tang Empire reached its peak and waged a war of aggression abroad, it encountered the dilemma of the former Han Empire, that is, even if it was to conquer a place, it would not be difficult to rule, but the cost of ruling was amazing, but there would be no benefit.
With the embarrassing situation of the Han Empire, the Tang Empire created the policy of "fettling the state", stationing only a small number of garrisons in a certain place, and selecting a local person as a puppet to rule on his behalf, so that the Tang Empire crossed the bottleneck encountered by the Han Empire, at least the Tang Empire was a little larger than the Han Empire in terms of territory.
Of course, if you look for old examples, you can only use the Han Empire as a reference, and countless people may look through the historical materials of the Han Empire and find the dilemma encountered after the Han Empire expanded to the extreme, and come to the conclusion that "the former Han family territory is already the limit of domination, and further expansion is a burden".
Fortunately, there is only the Han Empire as an example, and if there is an example of the Tang Empire, it will definitely scare them from ignorant opposition to unlimited expansion to panicked opposition to extreme expansion and restriction of local military power.
It is necessary to know one thing clearly, the expansion process of the Tang Empire does not have too much black history, and then the local feudal towns are overturned by the center, and then there are five dynasties and ten kingdoms.
At this time, there will definitely be no one to say anything, they can only continue to worship on the ground and listen to Liu Yan express his feelings there.
"Mencius said that the people are precious, the community is secondary, and the monarch is light."
Liu Yan was crossing, his voice was still not fast, and he didn't sound like he had any mood fluctuations: "Listen, the widow is the least important one."
Since all the widows are like this, thou shalt have those who consider themselves to be more respectful than the widows."
It should be said that Mencius put forward a lot of theories, but too few can be accepted, and some of the remarks under the chapter of dedication are even reprimanded as muse, which means that not only the people do not approve, but also the officials and kings have always regarded it as a joke, just because they are very good, but there is almost no possibility of implementation.
In addition, Mencius's life was as a "fighter", traveling to various countries almost caught one spray by one, and the worst spray was a monarch of the Seven Heroes of the Warring States, so that the kings of the countries knew that Mencius was coming and began to close their doors and refuse guests.
Liu Yan's words made the ministers shout in unison: "The ministers are terrified" In addition to the panic, there must be someone thinking about whether the king should start to take the "Mencius route", and then recall from the small head what Mencius once put forward the idea of governing the country.
"There are people, and there is a country.
The people are the cornerstone of the country, and the state cannot pay taxes, pay taxes, and have troops without the people.
A large number of small families come together as one country.
The people's peace of mind production can make the country rich, and the people are martial and enterprising, and the country is strong.
"Liu Yan didn't think about taking the Mencius route, and there should be a route that is also a bully and a miscellaneous way.
He finally raised his voice: "The people are the foundation of all the great deeds of the widow, and the widow loves and cherishes them."
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
Some of you have bullied and plundered the people, and separated the people from the widows, and they are digging the corners of the great cause of the widows."
The voice echoed in the hall, and the previous fake panic turned into real panic, and those who felt that they had done too much began to sway.
Liu Yan didn't pay too much attention to what the hundred officials looked like, but glanced at Xun Xian and nodded.
Xun Xian stepped out with a scroll in his hand, and Lang Sheng said: "The king is edicted, and the ministers listen to the announcement."
All the civil and military officials got up and bowed again, and shouted in unison: "Minister, listen to the edict." ” Reading the edict is generally the work done by the eunuchs, Liu Yan did not start the eunuch, and the personal secretary Lang did this work, including reading the edict above the court meeting and going to the homes of hundreds of officials to announce the edict.
Xun Xian's edict was not what the officials imagined, they thought that someone would be disposed of, but it was a long reward after listening to it.
After the edict was read, the Han State abolished the division of the left and right prime ministers, with Ji Chang as the prime minister, Sang Yu as the imperial envoy and doctor, and then a series of official arrangements.
Xu Zheng officially stepped down from the post of general of Zhengnan and became a lieutenant, which was expected, although they were apprehensive, they were happy that the three dukes were finally no longer vacant, thinking that Liu Yan's claim to be emperor had been put on the agenda.
They were somewhat surprised to hear that Yu Yi was appointed as a court lieutenant, they more or less knew why the Yu clan would switch to the Han Kingdom, suspected that the quid pro quo had changed, and thought about what impact Yu Yi would have after becoming a court lieutenant.
Naturally, Yu Yi must have a foundation for being appointed as a court lieutenant, and the foundation is the credit of the Yu clan in the battle for Jiankang, and the Huan clan and many families will also be rewarded as long as they have merit, so that people who are already wary of the southern family flooding the court have to think more.
The edict is very long, and the important appointments involve many interest groups, and if you analyze it carefully, you will find that under the change in the distribution of the three princes and nine kings in the center, a set of balances has been formed.
If you want to say who is the happiest and most excited in the hall, it is more than Ran Min, who is excited that some people who have followed him have been promoted to the rank of knight, and Happy Sang Yu was removed from the post of right prime minister.
There is only one prime minister left, which is equivalent to the concentration of the power that originally belonged to the prime minister, Ji Chang is a very pure person, and he is the prime minister to show that the king has made an important adjustment to the distribution of power.
It cannot be said that the position of the imperial envoy is not important, if it is said that the prime minister is the highest chief executive of the government of a country, and the power of the imperial envoy is mainly to manage the chronicles, manage the books, and the chapters, and supervise the civil and military officials, it should be said that the power of the imperial envoy is not small at all.
Sang Yu was transferred to the imperial envoy doctor, and the administrative level was not reduced, just because the actual status of the imperial envoy doctor was equivalent to the deputy prime minister, and Sang Yu was the position of the deputy prime minister before, and after becoming the imperial envoy doctor, in addition to no longer having the right of civil administration, on the contrary, there was an important power to supervise civil and military officials.
The edict is still being read, and some people have never heard what they are talking about and have begun to have mood swings, among which Ran Min and Huan Wen are the most anxious.
Xu Zheng was originally a general of Zhengnan, and after he was promoted to a lieutenant, it was equivalent to a vacancy in the position of general of Zhengnan, and at present, the war of the Han State south of the Yangtze River has not ended, and it stands to reason that Xu Zheng should be reappointed after he leaves office.
Huan Wen thought that he was the most suitable candidate for the general of Zhengnan, not because he was born south of the Yangtze River, but also about the further investigation of him by the Han court.
And if he becomes a general of Zhengnan, he will not favor the southern family in whatever he says, and it should be said that he will be more ruthless than the rest.
Again, he first conquered the Li clan and became a marquis, but he was not promoted in the military position, so no matter how he looked at it, he was the best candidate for the general of Zhengnan.
Xun Xian continued to read, Liu Yan was furious just now, and when he hadn't done anything about it, there was suddenly an edict, which made all kinds of panic and uneasiness in the hearts of the hundred officials be dispelled with the announcement of the edict, and the attention of the hundred officials turned to the change in the political situation.
The edict finally read the part of the military, and what Ran Min heard was that he was promoted to hussar general, although he was slightly disappointed that he was not a general, but most of his heart was still happy.
In fact, there are not many core military positions in the Han State, and the Taiwei is the first general, but the Taiwei will not lead the troops to fight at all, so the generals, hussar generals, chariot generals, and champion generals, who can lead the army to fight, are more important than the positions of the three prince-level generals, and the generals of Wei, lieutenants, and Zhongjunjun are actually the generals who are higher than the Jiuqing level, and they do not go out to fight in the central guard.
Huan Wen heard that he had become a general of Zhengnan, and he almost grinned in an instant.
Among the four generals of the Han State, the military power of the generals of the north and the south is the largest, after all, there are Shiqi Zhao and Murong Yan and Tuoba in the north, and there are many families in the south who are resisting stubbornly.
At present, the shogun Seisai is a light pole, and there is only a shogunate but no field corps directly under him.
General Zhengdong is more strange, except for a small number of direct troops, it is a servant army of many countries, and then he also supervises the fleets of the East China Sea and the Bohai Sea.
Lu Tai'an knelt on the ground in a divided manner, thinking that the reward or something probably had nothing to do with him, and when he heard that he was appointed as the general of Zhengdong, he was immediately stunned, and then he looked up at Liu Yan with gratitude.
It was not only Lu Tai who was pleasantly surprised, Xie An was aware of his own family affairs.
Xie An's performance in the war against Shi Qi Zhao can only be said to be decent with some brilliance, and it must not be said that he is excellent.
However, he knew that he had slacked off too obviously after the southern transfer to fight, and it was already great luck not to be dismissed, and then the Xie clan was a little stiffer in the confrontation between the Han State and the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, which caused him to be really stunned when he heard that he was appointed as the general of Zhengxi Zhonglang.
Zhonglang will be a necessary way to be promoted to general, Xie An was pleasantly surprised to realize that the Han Kingdom's march to the west has been put on the agenda, but he doesn't know when
