Chapter 406 Volume 6 The Grand Court Meeting in the 6th Year of Jian'an
Chapter 406: The Grand Court Meeting in the Sixth Year of Jian'an
"The Book of Zhou: Spring Officials: Great Master of the Imperial Clan" states: "In spring, the meeting is called Chao; in summer, it is called Zong; in autumn, it is called Jin; in winter, it is called Yu; in season, it is called Hui; in Yin, it is called Tong."
In the fifth year of Jian'an, the emperor was away on a military campaign, so the grand court meeting was just a routine matter and no decrees were issued.
But the grand court meeting in the sixth year of Jian'an is different.
Everyone knows that the emperor is going to take action against the central government system!
In fact, the Secretariat had already begun dividing responsibilities and splitting power several days ago.
Now, the grand court meeting is to formally decide this matter!
All officials met.
In addition to the accountants from the counties, there were several unfamiliar faces at this grand court meeting:
Xiongnu, Xianbei, Wuhuan!
The envoys of the three tribes were all "bannermen" within the tribe. They were allowed to wear Han Chinese clothes, which gave them a unique look.
In addition to the three tribes of Beiting Protectorate, there were also envoys from Gongsun Du, Goguryeo, and Buyeo in the northeast.
Compared with the envoys from the Xiongnu, Xianbei and Wuhuan, although these three envoys were also dressed in Han Chinese clothes, they looked more nervous. They didn't know how to deal with such a grand occasion, nor did they know how to respond to the questions about meeting the emperor.
Finally, there were some messengers who were dressed strangely and looked very different from the people of the Central Plains.
People from the Western Regions.
To be precise, they were envoys from the three kingdoms of Shanshan (Loulan), Kucha and Khotan.
There are thirty-six kingdoms in the Western Regions. Although there are many countries, the leaders among them are nothing more than Qiuci in the north, Shanshan in the east, and Khotan and Shule in the west.
Now we only see envoys from the Three Kingdoms, but no envoys from the Shule Kingdom, which can explain a lot of problems!
Moreover, Shule State was the country that Meng Da's father, the former governor of Liangzhou, Meng Ta, sent troops to attack, but failed to capture the city after besieging it for more than 40 days.
He already has a grudge against the big man, and now instead of coming to the big man and obediently raising his butt to wait for the big man's father to ravage him, this is simply outrageous!
First, officials from the Central Plains counties came forward to report the tax output of each county and prefecture.
Thanks to the promotion of fertilizers, curved plows and the implementation of the equal-field system, grain production in all counties this year is particularly gratifying.
If the sixth year of Jian'an can maintain the level of the fifth year of Jian'an, then it is estimated that these two years can make up for the court's losses in the war in Hebei.
In other words, as early as next autumn, the imperial court will have the capital to send troops to launch a final offensive against Yuan Tan in Qingzhou and Cao Cao in Xuzhou, and even directly drink water from the Yangtze River!
Only the Central Plains and Hebei were delayed in spring ploughing due to the war, but fortunately, both places sent experienced scholars who passed the imperial examinations in the first and third years of Jian'an to govern. With the support of the government soldiers led by Guan Yu, Gao Shun, and Zhao Yun, the two places could recover as quickly as possible.
After all, after slaughtering so many aristocratic families and dividing up so much land, the people's enthusiasm for production has risen to the highest level in three hundred years! It is almost comparable to the period of the early Han Dynasty!
After listening to the reports from accountants from various places, Liu Xie nodded slightly.
"When you return, be sure to inform your superiors to enforce the order properly and not push too hard."
"Even if the land is distributed equally, there are still good and bad fields, and we must make a clear calculation."
"Here!"
All the accountants in the hall returned the greeting.
After these clerks from various counties and prefectures left, the envoys from various places came.
The envoys from the three tribes of Beiting Protectorate took the lead and walked to the front. They saluted the emperor meticulously according to the etiquette they had learned before, without any mistakes.
"Replacing the Xiongnu Chanyu Liu Bao."
"Replacement of the Xianbei Chanyu Budugen."
"Replacing Wuhuan Chanyu Louban."
"Respectfully ask the Emperor of the Han Dynasty and the Chanyu of Heaven to be well!"
"I'm in peace!"
When Liu Xie met the envoys from the three tribes, he was also friendly and asked many questions.
"When our Chanyu returned to the tribe, he has already started to establish the bannerman system and changed his surname to Han!"
Suddenly, the envoys from Wuhuan and Xianbei knelt down and saluted the emperor.
"Most of us bannermen have surnames like Dong, Lu, Zhang, Zhao, Yan, and Tian."
"I only dare not use the surname 'Liu' lightly. I hope Your Majesty will grant it to me!"
Up to now, the surname "Liu" only belongs to the Xiongnu Chanyu family on the grassland.
Liu Bao often mocked the Xianbei and Wuhuan based on his surname.
In the Beiting Protectorate, he even treated Liu Bei, the current Beiting Governor, as his brother, calling him "Royal Grand Uncle" all the time, which made Budugen and Louban very envious!
Therefore, the envoys from Xianbei and Wuhuan came here this year in the hope that the emperor would also grant their own Chanyu the surname Liu!
"No, you guys?"
Seeing the envoys from the Xianbei and Wuhuan kneeling on the ground, the Xiongnu envoy looked at them in disbelief.
You didn’t say this when we came here from the grassland together!
I didn't expect you to hide it so deeply! You actually want the emperor to grant you the surname "Liu"!
A bunch of bastard descendants of the Donghu!
The Xiongnu Chanyu glanced at the emperor in fear, hoping that he would not agree to the two people's request!
How can the Xianbei and Wuhuan compare with the Xiongnu?
Before the Xiongnu, they had fought against the Han Dynasty! And they even married a Han princess!
By this calculation, the Huns can be considered the "eldest sons" of the Han Dynasty!
What are the Xianbei and Wuhuan?
A group of descendants of Donghu!
A group of defeated generals who were almost destroyed by the Huns!
How can they be worthy of the surname Liu?
I bother!
But when the Hun envoy saw the emperor's unstoppable smile, he knew it was all over!
really!
The emperor smiled and said, "I actually forgot about this."
In fact, it’s not that they forgot, but this kind of thing cannot be proposed by the Han side, but must be proposed by the other side first, which is justified.
The proud man, even if he wanted to recognize his son, could not take the initiative to recognize him, but let the other party come and beg the father to recognize him! "In this case, how about naming Budugen Liu Ju and naming Louban Liu Du?"
Colt refers to a young horse.
Duli refers to a calf.
Put together, it is the big man's little calf...
The envoys from Xianbei and Wuhuan were immediately overjoyed and quickly kowtowed to thank the emperor!
The Hun envoy felt sad.
it's good now.
The emperor not only gave the Xianbei and Wuhuan Chanyu the surname Liu, he even gave them names himself...
Could it be that in the future, the Xianbei and Wuhuan could no longer rival the Xiongnu?
After the name was given, the envoys from the Xianbei and Wuhuan were all delighted, while the Xiongnu envoys were like a young wife cheated on by her husband, with a face full of resentment...
“In addition, our various ethnic groups have started their first trade with each other.”
The envoys of the three tribes reported again.
"Thank you, Your Majesty! This time we not only have tools like iron pots, but also clothes and cloth to keep warm!"
Liu Xie nodded and asked, "Is the price reasonable? If you think it's unfair, you can talk to me."
"Reasonable! Very reasonable!"
The three messengers were very satisfied with this.
Although Liu Bei was a prodigal son in a sense.
However, people like Tian Yu, Yan Rou, and Xian Yu Fu have been dealing with the three tribes on the grassland for a long time, so there is no need to worry that they will not be unfair.
And as the technology of iron pots and textiles continues to improve, their costs will become lower and lower.
With the advancement of technology and the improvement of productivity, such transactions will never be a loss-making business for the Han people in the mainland.
"good."
Liu Xie responded with satisfaction, while some ministers in the palace who had not experienced the Battle of Hebei could not help but burst into tears!
The Han Dynasty...really revived!
Since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, how could the Han Dynasty's grand court meetings receive such sincere flattery from the three clans?
Although there are still some annoying guys, it is undeniable that the big man is indeed recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye!
As the envoys of the three Beiting tribes retreated, those annoying guys came up.
Gongsun Du's envoy was named Liu Yi.
After meeting the emperor, he immediately led the envoys from Goguryeo and Buyeo behind him to kneel down and pay their respects, not even daring to breathe!
"Liu Yi?"
"Your Majesty, I am Liu Yi."
Liu Xie looked at him with interest: "I heard that Gongsun Du called himself Marquis of Liaodong and Governor of Pingzhou, and even prepared a carriage for the emperor?"
"You should have seen my jade carriage today. How similar do you think Gongsun Du's carriage is to mine?"
"Oh!"
Liu Yi knelt on the ground and kowtowed in great fear.
"Your Majesty! Those are all rumors! They are all rumors! Those are all rumors that someone has spread to slander Governor Gongsun. I hope Your Majesty will not believe them!"
No matter how hard he tried, Liu Yi would never admit what Gongsun Du had done!
Besides, there is an ocean between them and the imperial court has no way of sending people to verify the authenticity. They will just deny it anyway!
"Ah."
The emperor sneered.
But this sneer seemed to drain all of Liu Yi's strength, causing him to almost fall to the ground.
"Liu Yi, go back and tell Gongsun Du."
"He was slandered that year, and he has been unhappy in the court ever since, and has not been given important positions."
"It was only because he was recommended by the current pillar of the country, Xu Rong, and appointed by the Grand Tutor himself that he was able to go to Liaodong to take up his post."
"Besides, I know what he did in Liaodong."
"Whether it was conquering Goguryeo or expanding territory and educating the local people, it was something worthy of praise."
"If he can turn back, I am willing to give him a chance."
"But if he doesn't want to turn back... Well, tell him something."
"Anyone who openly offends our strong men will be killed no matter how far away!"
When Liu Yi heard the last word "诛" from the emperor's mouth, he felt an electric current running directly from his tailbone to his forehead, almost causing him to become incontinent!
The two envoys from Goguryeo and Buyeo were so frightened by the emperor's loud shout that they collapsed to the ground!
"I understand!"
After saying this and presenting gifts, Liu Yi left with the envoys from Goguryeo and Buyeo.
After the group of envoys from Liaodong left, the ones who came up were not envoys from the Western Regions.
"Why is it him?"
When some people saw the appearance of the person coming, they were all shocked.
Xu Jing!
He and his cousin Xu Shao were both famous for their ability to evaluate people. Later, he was recommended by Liu Yi as a filial and honest official and served as a secretary. He successively joined Kong Zhu, Chen Yi, Xu Gong, Wang Lang and others.
There was no news after that. Some people who knew him thought that he might have died in the south, but they didn’t expect that he would come to Chang’an today!
"Your Majesty, I, Xu Jing, am here on behalf of Shi Xie, the governor of Jiaozhi, to greet you!"
