Rebirth God of War Lu Bu

Chapter 5044: Title System

Gu Yong cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, the Jin army is expanding too fast now. We should focus on stabilizing the rule, especially strengthening the control of the countries in the Western Regions and Wusun, Dawan and other places. Only by truly incorporating these territories into the Jin It is most appropriate to stay within the military’s control.”

Lu Bu nodded in agreement and said, "Yuan Tan's words are reasonable. As long as our army can be completely stabilized in Wusun and other places of the Four Kingdoms, the rest will be simple."

The minds of the three provinces and six ministries, seeing that Lu Bu has not been dazzled by the continuous victory of the war, are quite approving. If the monarch only knows how to lead the army's lieutenants to fight on the battlefield, but does not know what kind of actions he should take after occupying these cities, It is irresponsible behavior for the efforts of the military officers and men.

After occupying the enemy's territory, Lu Bu was able to focus on stability and ensure the stability of these territories. From a long-term perspective, it was of great help to the sustainable development of the Jin army.

As the Jin State becomes more and more powerful, it will become more and more advantageous for the Jin Army. The war can be carried out with the Jin State's background. In this case, the benefits that the Jin Army will gain after fighting on the battlefield are unimaginable. of.

The continuation of the war is a great test for national strength. If these things cannot be better viewed during this process, the impact will be even greater.

"When you go back, discuss the names of the new five states with the officials below. Then I will propose them to the court and finalize them," Lu Bu said.

Naturally, everyone has no reason to object, and such a thing can mobilize the enthusiasm of officials. After the Jin army occupies the enemy's cities, these cities will belong to the Jin army, and even the names will be named by the Jin state. Is there anything more exciting than this?

The names of the new five states will be recorded in history and are an important symbol of the further strength of the Jin State.

Seeing the excitement on the faces of the officials from the three provinces and six ministries, Lu Bu said: "There is another matter that is of great importance and requires your careful consideration."

Seeing Lu Bu's serious expression, everyone turned their attention to him.

"Although the current system of the Jin State has been clarified, the system of titles is still not enough. There are many generals with meritorious service on the battlefield. It is not enough to measure the generals in the army based on the thirty-sixth future of the Temple of War. I want to What do you think of the implementation of the kingship system in Jin?" Lu Bu asked.

Guo Jia, who was mentally prepared, was easy to say. After hearing Lu Bu's words, the other officials were all shocked. Being crowned a king is an extremely important matter for a country. There is an essential difference between making a prince and a king. There is a certain degree of control under the rule, even the imperial court only has the power of supervision.

Currently, the Jin State does not have a king. This is not because the military generals did not do enough on the battlefield, but because the Jin State currently does not have such a system.

Conferring a king is an extremely important matter for both civil servants and military generals. However, judging from the conferral of kings after the founding of the Han Dynasty, it seems that conferring a king is not good for military generals. If you are not careful, the rescue will cause the monarch The fear may even lead to death.

At present, the officers and soldiers of the Jin army have absolute respect for Lu Bu, and the situation of the Jin country is very different from that of the Han Dynasty. The Jin army can have such development, and the person who has the greatest relationship with it is the emperor of Jin, Lu Bu. This also makes Lu Bu had absolute prestige in front of the officials in the DPRK. As for the civil and military officials in the DPRK, it was simply impossible to say that they would disobey Lu Bu's orders. They had more respect for Lu Bu, not disobedience.

In this case,

Even if Lu Bu did not make his ministers king, the ministers would not have any more opinions.

"Your Majesty, the matter of conferring a kingship is of great importance, so don't be hasty." Guan Ning, the Minister of Rites, said.

Guan Ning was the Minister of Rites, which was relatively clear in the Jin Dynasty. The main reason was that the officials of the Ministry of Rites did not have much real power. However, in ordinary times, no one dared to underestimate the importance of the Ministry of Rites. Rites collapsed. Bad, indicating that a country has come to an end, which shows how important etiquette is to the country.

The other officials also agreed with Guan Ning's words. They must be more cautious when conferring the title of king.

"I understand what your dear friends mean, but what I mean by making you a king is different from what you all think of making me a king." Lu Bu said slowly: "What I mean by making you a king , what the king owns is a city, not a territory. The city where the king is located, taxes and production belong to the king. Even the king also has more fields, and even the king can have a certain number of guards, but the king It must be subject to the control of the imperial court, and officials appointed by the imperial court will govern it.”

After everyone heard this, they were relieved. If the king had greater power in this territory after being crowned king, it would have many disadvantages for the control of the court. It can be seen that Lu Bu was very concerned about the matter of crowning the king. There is advance planning.

After Lu Bu briefly explained the rules of making a king, everyone nodded, but they would still make additions to the flaws in such a system.

Finally, Lu Bu said: "Of course, it is inevitable that the fathers will be crowned kings and their descendants will enjoy blessings. However, if the king's descendants do not have outstanding achievements, their titles will be reduced by one level, and so on."

This is also to avoid the emergence of many royal families in the Jin Kingdom in the future. In this case, it will not be beneficial to the development of the Jin Kingdom.

"Your Majesty is wise." Jia Xu cupped his hands and said.

The kingship system mentioned by Lu Bu will not let the king's descendants rest on the credit book. They still need to work hard for their merits. Otherwise, their throne will gradually decrease, which is also anxious for the king's descendants. one thing.

In this way, it will be avoided that the Jin Kingdom has more kings and too many cities belong to the kings. When the court orders are issued, the impact will be small.

"Your Majesty, I suggest that the city's tax revenue still belongs to the imperial court. The king only gets the production of the city. After the number of the king's guards is determined, the king needs to rely on the city's production to support him." Gu Yong said.

Lu Bu smiled and said: "Yuan Tan wants to control the power in the king's hands, but without taxation, how will the king support his army? Just relying on production may not be enough."

"Your Majesty, if it is placed in wealthy cities such as Jinyang, Xiangyang, Yecheng and other places, the production and tax revenue alone will account for an important proportion of the state." Gu Yong said.

Lu Bu thought for a moment and saw the problem. "This is also a big problem, but in the future when the king is crowned, it will be stipulated that after the king is crowned, the city owned by the king cannot be a state or county."

"The Holy One is wise." Everyone said in unison.

Regarding the matter of enthroning the king, Lu Bu discussed it with important officials from the three provinces and six ministries until late at night. The main reason was that the implications of the enfeoffment of the king were too great and could not be determined in a short time.

The title system of the Jin State will be divided into nine levels. Of course, obtaining a title does not conflict with the official position of the person. It reflects the contribution of the person or ancestor to the Jin State.

The first class is a prince, and the second class is a county king. The prince is a one-character king, and the county king is a two-character king. Therefore, sometimes you can tell whether the king is a prince or a county king through his title.

The third grade is the Duke of the country, the fourth grade is the County Duke, the fifth grade is the County Duke, the sixth grade is the County Marquis, the seventh grade is the County Bo, the eighth grade is the County Son, and the ninth grade is the County Male.

In fact, the title system is still the same as that of duke, marquis and son-in-law, but the title of king is added to it.

If you want to become a king in the Jin State, you will definitely have strict requirements. If you don't make outstanding contributions to the Jin State, it will be impossible to become a king.

Splitting the soil and conferring kings was indeed done in the Jin State, but the cities where these kings were located determined that their income would not be too much. Even if they had taxes as support, their lives would definitely be more advantageous, which is also for them. A reflection of his past contributions to the state of Jin.

The officers and soldiers of the Jin army fought on the battlefield and made great contributions to the victory in each battle. As the monarch of the Jin State, it is also the right thing to allow the ministers to have more status and enjoy more power.

If the results achieved by the civil servants and generals in the DPRK are not very good after their hard work, who will make more efforts for the development of Jin in the future? In fact, this is also considered from the perspective of long-term development.

Let the generals in the army and officials in the court feel the benefits of working hard for the Jin State. They will be more attentive when facing difficulties and will not be less careful when managing government affairs. There's more slack to be had.

Besides, being granted the title of king is something that no civil servant or military general can find difficult to refuse. This is the highest expression of the achievement of an official or military general.

When it comes to conferring kingships, military generals are basically the ones who get the most titles. This is human nature. In any case, military officers and soldiers fighting on the battlefield have to bear the price of their lives in the war.

The military generals led the soldiers on the battlefield and achieved outstanding achievements. It is most normal for military generals to receive more rewards.

It is a great honor for a civil official to be granted the title of king.

It can be seen from the kingship system of the Jin State that the king of the Jin State is more of a kind of honor and an affirmation of the hard work of the civil and military officials in the DPRK.

If you want the throne to continue for a longer time, you still need the continuous efforts of future generations. If you can't even do this, the throne will be lost sooner or later, and even disappear from everyone after many generations. Even so, their descendants Compared with other people, people also have a very high starting point, which is a relatively important thing for officials in the DPRK.

After Jia Xu and others left the palace, they were still talking in low voices. They knew what kind of reaction it would cause when the civil servants and generals in the court knew about such things.

In terms of system, we must rely more on civilian officials and military generals to formulate systems. Such a system cannot be ignored.

However, the matter of being crowned king is too important. If it is not handled properly, the consequences will be serious.

And Lu Bu's ability to make his ministers kings shows that Lu Bu will not be stingy when his ministers get credit. As long as the ministers have enough merit, the Jin Kingdom will give enough rewards so that the ministers can be rewarded for their efforts.

It is difficult for civil servants to be crowned kings, but there are still some civil servants who can be crowned kings in the Jin State, because these civil servants are not only outstanding in governing the local area, but also leading troops in battles. If the Jin State cannot grant them rewards, It is difficult to win the respect of civil servants.

Granting rewards is sometimes a difficult matter. If the reward is unfair, it may lead to consequences that the monarch does not want to see.

Therefore, when it comes to rewards, the monarch always attaches great importance to it. It is best to make the ministers feel fair. In this case, the ministers will be convinced and even make more efforts in the future.

This situation is also what the monarch wants to see.

In fact, in Lu Bu's opinion, it is nothing to be granted the title of king. Moreover, what Lu Bu said about granting the king and the title of the king that Jin officials thought were very different. After limiting the king's power, even if the king wanted to use It is impossible to do more with the power in your hands.

The title of king represents more recognition of the achievements of civilian officials and military commanders.

Even so, the civil servants and military generals of the Jin State would flock to him. Becoming the king of the Jin State would be too important to them. In this case, they would even leave a strong mark in history.

After all, there were only a few kings with different surnames in history before. The Jin State was so powerful that they would definitely get more respect in the future. When they remember the strength of the Jin State, they will think of the civil servants and military generals of the Jin State. How much effort was made for the prosperity of Jin State.

Such things can greatly improve the fighting spirit of civil servants and generals, and after the title system is clarified, it will also be beneficial to the future development of the Jin Kingdom.

For several days in a row, the heads of the three provinces and six ministries would come to discuss with Lu Bu after the dynasty was dismissed. The discussions at this time were much simpler than before, and they were more about suggestions on details.

Once the general system is finalized, it's actually pretty much the same.

Although the matter of being crowned king did not spread among the courtiers, Lu Bu still felt how excited the top officials of the three provinces and six ministries were when doing these things, and the matter of naming the new five states was also discussed for the three provinces and six ministries. sought after by officials.

This kind of thing is a rare opportunity for them to perform. It would be even better if the name they obtained could be recognized.

There are still many talents in the Jin Dynasty court, and they racked their brains when coming up with names.
