    Liu Zhang did not speak, and the Empress Dowager Fu Shou issued the decree first.

    Liu Zhang, the king of Shu, led the Sichuan army to support the Han Dynasty and revitalize the country. In ten years, he cleansed the world and re-stabilized the Han Dynasty that had been crumbling since the Yellow Turban Rebellion. He pacified the Southern Barbarians, Western Qiang, northern grasslands, Goguryeo, and Southern Barbarians, and defeated the nobles.  Frost Emperor ** team.

    There are a lot of signs of a prosperous age in Beiping, all due to the merits of Liu Zhang, the king of Shu. Now the Han Dynasty has not had an emperor in the court for several years. The king of Shu will conduct the world with virtue and should succeed the emperor and establish a prosperous age of the Han Dynasty.

    Fu Shou issued an edict to establish Liu Zhang as emperor. Although the Sichuan army and civil and military officials knew about it, the people in the world were all celebrating. The Han Dynasty had been fighting for so many years and had no emperor for so many years. Now, he can finally live a stable life.

    The Empress Dowager issued the edict, and Liu Zhang naturally gave three words. After completing this unspoken rule, Liu Zhang announced that he would ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor on December 12th.

    Huang Yueying, Fazheng, Zhang Ren, Fan Lixiang, Jiang Wan, Wang Lei and other civil and military officials all remonstrated with Liu Zhang and requested that Peiping be the capital.

    Liu Zhang did not make a statement and sought opinions from civil and military officials.

    Of course the civil and military officials have their opinions, but first of all, there is auspiciousness ahead, secondly, I am now in Peiping, and thirdly, Huang Yueying, Fa Zheng, Zhang Ren, etc. have all requested, is it useful to object on my own?

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????¡­

    By this time, the civil and military officials and many knowledgeable people still didn't understand that Liu Zhang had planned to make Peiping the capital.

    ???????????????????? Why else did Jiang Wan, a Sili lieutenant, be demoted to the position of governor of Peiping? Otherwise, why did he build roads from major cities to Peiping, open a canal from Peiping to the Yellow River, and let Cao Chong do the general promotion?

    This has obviously been prepared for a long time. Although no one said anything, it was only at this point that they could not say anything.  Civil and military officials were still dissatisfied.

    "My lord, now we have to discuss the matters after taking the throne, otherwise it will be too late."

    After announcing the date of his accession to the throne, someone went to prepare the complicated etiquette. Huang Yueying immediately found Liu Zhang. Under Liu Zhang's coercion and inducement, Huang Yueying had to agree with Zhang Ren and others to move the capital to Peking. Now she felt a little resentful, but it was not like  Other civil and military forces are so strong.

    Huang Yueying has always deliberately suppressed her family.  They have an informant in the family, and if anyone uses their power to cause trouble, they will be dealt with immediately. Therefore, even with their huge financial background, the Huang family in Jingzhou cannot compete with the wealthy families in Yizhou.

    From this.  Huang Yueying didn't care about Dingdu at all. Other officials were worried that Peiping, the remote capital of Dingdu, would be divorced from their roots and would affect their authority. At the same time, it was too far away from their hometown and they were not satisfied. Huang Yueying did not think so.

    Huang Yueying just feels that it is not necessary to make Peiping the capital. Regarding this point.  Until now, Huang Yueying cannot agree with Liu Zhang.

    But we also know that there are many benefits to making Peiping the capital, one of which is to remove the original civil and military officials of the Sichuan Army from their roots, which is conducive to balanced rule.  There will be no obvious territorial power hierarchy.

    It is for these reasons that Huang Yueying feels that he can compromise, otherwise Huang Yueying will try his best to prevent the capital from being moved to Beijing.

    Now the matter of setting the capital in Beijing has been decided.  Even if many civil servants and businessmen were dissatisfied, they did not dare to break out.  Then it¡¯s time to discuss the imminent claim to be emperor.

    Seeing Liu Zhang nodding, Huang Yueying said: "After ascending the throne, the lord must determine the official system, military system, and people's livelihood policies, but these are not the most important. The most important thing is to reward the meritorious officials.

    The other lower-level civil and military officials have their own rewards from the upper-level civil and military officials. What we have to worry about is the upper-level civil and military officials, their titles and official positions, as well as their jurisdiction, food and towns, etc.

    The official positions are easy to say. In Yueying's opinion, they are to promote the previous officials of the Chang'an court to one level. In the army, Zhang Renke can be promoted to a general, and the others can be awarded according to their merits. It's just a matter of title. What do you think, lord?  "

    "The five tiger generals, the six good generals, Zhe Lanying, Fazheng and others, as well as the late Leng Bao and other generals were all crowned kings, and the earliest generals who followed them, such as Wang Yue, Ake, Gao Pei, Yang Huai, etc., were all crowned kings.  Fenghou, Li Yan, Jiang Wan and other civil servants were all promoted to marquis, and other generals and civil servants"

    "Wait, my lord, wait."

    Huang Yueying listened to Liu Zhang's words. The more she listened, the more frightened she became. She was stunned for a while, suddenly realized, interrupted quickly, stared at Liu Zhang and said: "Master, are you kidding Yueying?

    Are you giving away your title?  This is absolutely not allowed. There are more than ten kings alone, so we might as well have made them kings in the first place to motivate them.

    We wait until today, don¡¯t we just want to compress it?  If it weren't for the fear of dissatisfaction among the soldiers, Yueying felt that not a single throne should be sealed off, including Yueying's own throne of Yan.

    "But if you don't make the king, there will definitely be dissatisfaction among the generals. I think Zhang Ren, Fa Zheng,Three people from Lan Ying can be granted the title of king, and the other two can be granted at most two places. The lord can decide by himself, but the number cannot exceed five, and they cannot be granted the title of states, but can only be granted the title of commanderies and counties.  "

    If Huang Yueying hadn't known Liu Zhang, she would have thought that Liu Zhang was an idiot. This was simply a big giveaway of titles, and no king would do this.

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????OUT out of the gate, Liu Bang created so many kings in order to win over people's hearts.

    "No." Liu Zhang waved his hand and directly rejected Huang Yueying's proposal, saying solemnly: "Ten thrones are not many, and there can be more marquises. After all, they are all honorable ministers and generals, and it is their dream to be granted the title of marquis.

    "However, all these titles are all reduced titles. From now on, all the titles in the Han Dynasty are only reduced titles and there are no completely hereditary titles.  "

    "Decreasing title?" Huang Yueying reacted for a moment, but she didn't fully react yet.

    "Not only are the titles reduced, but all the princes do not open houses or govern the country. They only receive the food and salary of the title, and enjoy generous benefits and the same status and treatment as the imperial officials."

    "If you don't open a government, you won't be able to govern the country?"

    Huang Yueying was startled. She finally realized what Liu Zhang had planned.

    Decreasing titles are the titles originally assigned to retired soldiers. Unless their descendants have made meritorious service in the process of inheritance, the titles will decrease in sequence. Marquis will be reduced to earl, earl will be reduced to viscount, and viscount will be reduced to baron. There is also the title of "scholar".  treatment as a baron, but a baron cannot be hereditary.

    This is considered a good policy. It can not only comfort those soldiers for their contribution to the Han Dynasty, but also prevent the proliferation of titles, but that is only for retired soldiers.

    Because they would not have been knighted in the first place, and now the title of marquis and king has fallen on them, it is an unexpected surprise. The benefits brought by those titles do not include the previous retirement benefits of Sichuan Army soldiers.

    This kind of extra surprise brings status, wealth, and life insurance. Who among those soldiers is not happy?

    But this does not apply to these meritorious civil and military figures at all. These people originally wanted to be knighted, and the title is a permanent hereditary title.

    At this point, these cultural and military have a position, wealth and wealth, what can we use to use the status of "leveling with the court members", and "generous welfare remuneration" to appease them?

    As for life accidents and government support, do these civil and military officials need this insurance?

    Including Huang Yueying, no one has ever thought that the decreasing title invented by Liu Zhang would be used for the title of enthronement, because it is only suitable for lower-level soldiers. For the upper-level, this will definitely not satisfy those civil and military officials.

    Moreover, there is still a house that does not open and does not rule the country.

    What is this concept?  If Zhang is granted the title of King of Shu, it will have nothing to do with Yizhou.

    The meaning of this title only means that Zhang Ren can enjoy a lot of food, that is, a lot of food and money. In addition, based on this title alone, he is probably on the same level as the Prime Minister. When meeting the Prime Minister, even if he does not have an official position, the Prime Minister will  Salute him.

    ¡°The other thing is that if Zhang Ren has an accident, the government will use a very high insurance fund to support him.

    Zhang Ren cannot manage one county or one county in Yizhou. He has no private soldiers or his own royal officials, such as the prime minister of the kingdom, the captain, etc.

    What is the use of this throne?  The so-called title is nothing more than a status symbol and a symbol of many bestowed wealth.

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????Would those meritorious civil and military officers be satisfied with such treatment?

    No wonder Liu Zhang was so generous in conferring the title of king. These princely titles are completely meaningless.

    What¡¯s more, it¡¯s still decreasing.

    "My lord, this is absolutely not allowed. This will cause strong dissatisfaction among the civil and military officials. Reducing titles is only suitable for the lower class. If you do not open a house, govern a country, or enter a fiefdom, it is unprecedented. The civil and military officials will be heartbroken."

    "There are so many things that have never been done since ancient times. Someone has to come out to do it. Civil and military affairs are cold now. It is better than me sealing the king and sending troops to conquer in the future."

    Every time a dynasty changes in history, the new dynasty likes to confer a king and then slowly conquer. Only Zhao Kuangyin is kinder. Liu Zhang really doesn't want to play this game of conferring a king and then conquering.

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? If the king goes on an expedition, there will still be war, and at the same time, Liu Zhang doesn¡¯t want to kill those heroes to help him achieve his great cause. They are all people with feelings, and he really doesn¡¯t want to fight with swords.

    The most frightening thing is that if the kings who were sealed off did not take action while they were still alive, or their descendants were ambitious, just like in the early Western Han Dynasty, it was not until the reign of Emperor Wen, Jing, and Wu that the power broke out and controlled the central power. That would be unbearable.  tidy.

    The Jin Dynasty was destroyed??The Rebellion of the Eight Kings.

    What Liu Zhang was most worried about was that when he was in power, no one dared to say anything. When he died, the kings in various places would not be able to lose their tails, which would be terrible.

    Seeing that Huang Yueying still wanted to say something, Liu Zhang said: "I will not only impose the regulations of decreasing titles and not opening a house on the civil and military affairs, but also on the clan.

    ????????????????????????????????????????The royal family's titles are also reduced, and they can't open a government or govern the country. Unless they hold official positions in specific places or are generals in a specific army, they can't hold any power.  "

    At that time, Liu Bang stipulated that people with different surnames could not be crowned kings, but he crowned many kings with the surname Liu in order to make the Liu family more stable.
