Weiyang Palace, above the court, the atmosphere became extremely silent in an instant, everyone, including Yang Biao, Sima Fang, Zhong Xuan, these old ministers who have always made their positions clear in support of Liu Xie, can't help but focus on Liu Xie at this moment, although Liu Xie's words have a bit of a discussion posture, but in fact, as long as Liu Xie speaks at this moment, the matter is basically decided, this is related to the Sheji country, the future and fate of the entire Han Dynasty, it only depends on how Liu Xie disposes of it.
If it can be disposed of well, not to mention the great Han country, but at least, Guanzhong will usher in a long-lost calm and can slowly recover its vitality, but if it is not handled well, it will definitely be worse for the Han family.
"Li Dao and Guo Yan are the first evils, and now they have been ambushed, but their affiliation with the party, whether they are sincere or not, or they are forced, in this small half a year, they are really threatening the foundation of my Han Dynasty, therefore, I decided that the generals of Xiliang will be demoted to one level and fined for one year, and the military power will be retained to see the after-effects."
As soon as Liu Xie's voice fell, he saw that above the court, many courtiers were slightly relieved, to say that this punishment is not light, but for these Xiliang generals and Wenchen who are attached to the Xiliang army, they were demoted and punished at this moment, but they felt a lot more relaxed.
As Liu Xie said, the law of the Han Dynasty pays attention to the punishment of one crime, which is not compiled by Liu Xie, but since the founding of the Han Dynasty, there have indeed been similar provisions.
If Liu Xie reveals this matter in a sentence and puts it in the hearts of the generals, it will be a lump after all, for fear that Liu Xie will settle accounts in the future, now that Liu Xie has made a punishment, and after today, he will no longer ask about the past, which is equivalent to exposing this matter, although the official demotion is a little distressing, but the world is in chaos at the moment, and there are many opportunities for meritorious service in the future.
Yang Biao took a deep breath, suppressed the agitation in his heart, and said loudly: "Your Majesty's magnanimity is really the luck of all officials and all the people. ” The ministers only woke up at this moment, and they were singing praises of virtue.
"Okay, this matter is so decided, and the edict will be drawn up later, and distributed to all places, so that the armies in all places will be rebuilt as soon as possible, so as not to cause turmoil."
Liu Xie waved his hand, signaling that everyone didn't need to say any more.
"The ministers obey."
This time, Liu Xie obviously felt that everyone's attitude was much more sincere than just now.
"Merit will be rewarded, and there will be punishment, I have been punished before, but now it is time to reward merit, Xu Huang."
Liu Xie looked at Xu Huang, who was standing solemnly in the hall, and smiled.
"The last general" Xu Huang took a step forward and bowed down.
"This time I was able to get rid of Li Dao and Guo Yan two thieves, the general is indispensable, I think at the beginning, I was in prison, no one around me is credible, only the general, when I was in danger, I did not hesitate to disgrace my reputation, put into Guo Yan's account, accumulate strength, I am afraid it will be difficult to get rid of the two thieves, now it is very difficult to get rid of it, and Xu Huang is specially named the general of Zhendong, the Marquis of Duting, and there are 200 households in the city."
"Your Majesty Xie" Rao is Xu Huang's calmness, at this moment, his heart also beat twice, General Zhendong is already a high-level general in the official system of the Han Dynasty, and the Marquis of Duting, in the Han Dynasty, although he is the lowest marquis outside the Marquis of Guannei, but it is equivalent to having a fief, and the status is completely different.
"I hope that the general will make persistent efforts, and my country still needs to be maintained by the general in the future," Liu Xie said with a smile.
"The minister will never give up" In the envious eyes of the generals, Xu Huang agreed sonorously and silently retreated into his queue, if the dream inheritance made Xu Huang have a certain recognition of Liu Xie, at this moment, he was named a marquis and worshiped the general, but it made Xu Huang completely dead to Liu Xie.
Different from the family, Xu Huang was born in a poor family, and if he wants to have a stable position, he can only follow Liu Xie closely, which is also one of the reasons why Liu Xie values Xu Huang, the concept of the family and the country is difficult to reverse in a short period of time, and it is also because of this that Liu Xie is always a little uneasy about the family.
Available, but not credible, this is Liu Xie's attitude towards the family, including loyal ministers such as Yang Biao.
"Fan Chou" After sealing Xu Huang, Liu Xie looked at Fan Chou again.
"The last general" Fan Chou took a step forward and bowed.
"Although General Fan was in the same league with Li Dao and Guo Yan's generation, but in the end he helped me to quell Li Guo's rebellion, meritorious rewards, and excessive punishments, but I can't admit the position of the right general, from today onwards, keep the title, and the official will be demoted to General Zhenxi, you can be convinced" Liu Xie said in a deep voice.
Fan Chou has merit, but the merit is definitely not as good as Xu Huang, if it weren't for Li Dao and Guo Yan who had bad intentions towards him, with Fan Chou's character, it would never be possible to break away from this group, in terms of merit, it is not even as good as Xu Huang, but as the person with the highest prestige in the Xiliang Army today, Fan Chou is indispensable, and Fan Chou's character is also very easy to control, but the official is a little too high, the position of the right general is already considered a top-level general, if there is merit in the future, how can Liu Xie seal him and in terms of sin, it is not too much to get rid of it.
"Your Majesty, submit your heart," Fan Chou bowed.
"Yesterday, the thief was removed, the general did have merit, I gave the general a mansion in Chang'an City, ten maidservants, and a reward of thousands of gold as a reward."
Liu Xie nodded, Fan Chou's merits are not enough to be promoted to the official position, but he can't be rewarded, and Liu Xie is willing to give up some property.
"Fang Sheng."
Liu Xie smiled and looked at Fang Shengdao, who was standing at the end of the generals.
"The last general" Fang Sheng took a deep breath, came to the center of the main hall, and bowed and saluted.
"Although I sealed the throne yesterday, but I did not correct your name, Fang Sheng has both wisdom and bravery, and has the merit of eliminating thieves, so he is specially named the general of Dangkou, commanding 3,000 troops to maintain law and order in Chang'an."
"Your Majesty" Fang Sheng hurriedly bowed down and thanked him, he was Xu Huang's general, and now he is considered to be a self-reliant door, and he has become an official in the same hall as Xu Huang, the gap between this is not small, as for the title, Liu Xie is not ready to seal it casually.
"In addition, Zhang Ji's nephew Zhang Xiu, when I was in prison in the past, helped me a lot, promoted him to a partial general, and the rest should be removed from the thieves and soldiers, each with a reward, and later Xu Huang and Fang Sheng went to the treasury to receive the distribution, as well as the families of the fallen soldiers, all of them were connected to Chang'an, I promised that the orphans of these fallen soldiers would be supported by me, and officials at all levels, no one should be persecuted for no reason, and once found out, they would be severely punished."
"Your Majesty," Xu Huang and Fang Sheng hurriedly thanked them again.
"Okay, the matter of rewards and punishments, this is the end, now that the autumn harvest is coming, the tax set by Li Guo and the two thieves is too high, spread my will, reduce the tax by half, and post a list in each county, saying that if any officials dare to increase taxes, from the scholars to the people, they can come to Chang'an to complain, I will set up a department to specialize in this matter, once it is found that there is indeed a matter, it will not be spared" t1706231537:
