Rebirth of the God of War Lu Bu

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, Wusun, Dayuan and other places. Only by truly incorporating these territories into the Jin

It is most appropriate if it is within the military's control."

Lu Bu nodded with deep approval 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 of the matter will be simple."

The minds of the three provinces and six ministries were quite satisfied when they saw that Lu Bu was not dazzled by the continuous victory of the war. If the monarch only knew how to lead the army's lieutenants to fight on the battlefield, but did not know what kind of actions he should take after occupying these cities,

It is an irresponsible behavior for the efforts of the military lieutenants.

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 Jin State's foundation can afford the war. 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.

"After you go back and discuss the names of the new five states with the officials below, 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 the annals of 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 services on the battlefield. It is not enough to just 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 the Jin Kingdom?" 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, and even the imperial court only has the power of supervision.

Currently, the Jin State does not have a king, not because the military generals did not do enough in 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 a good thing for military generals. If you are not careful, the rescue will cause trouble for 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 has absolute prestige in front of the officials in the court. As for the civil and military officials in the court doing things that violate Lu Bu's orders, it is simply impossible. They have more respect for Lu Bu, not disobedience.

Under such circumstances, even if Lu Bu did not grant the title of king to his ministers, the ministers would not have any more opinions.

"Your Majesty, the matter of conferring a king 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." Lu Bu said slowly: "What I mean by making you a king is different.

, 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 has more fields, and even the king can have a certain number of guards, but the king

It must accept the control of the imperial court, and the imperial court will appoint officials to manage 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 the 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, which 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's orders are issued, the impact will not be big.

"Your Majesty, I suggest that the city's tax revenue still belongs to the imperial court. The king only gets the city's production. After the king's bodyguards have a specified number, the king needs to rely on the city's production to support them." Gu Yong said.

Lu Bu said with a smile: "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 governed by a state or a county."

"Your Majesty is wise." Everyone said in unison.

Regarding the matter of conferring 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 conferring 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 that of Duke, Marquis and Bozinan, but the title of King is added to it.

If you want to become a king in the Jin Kingdom, you must have strict requirements. If you don't make outstanding contributions to the Jin Kingdom, it is simply impossible to become a king.

Splitting the earth 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 in the war to win 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 is more slack.

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 go to war and bear the price of their lives in the war.

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

If a civil official can be granted the title of king, it is a great honor for a civil official.

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 servants and military officers 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 a thing.

In terms of systems, 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 of great concern. If it is not handled properly, the consequences will be serious.

The fact that Lu Bu can make his ministers king 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 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 generals.

Even so, the civil servants and generals of the Jin State would flock to become the king of the Jin State. It was of too important significance 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 gain more respect in the future. When they remember the strength of the Jin State, they would think of the civil servants and 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 determined, 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 they were doing these things, and the matter of naming the new five states also caused a stir 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 were still many talented people in the Jin Dynasty's court, and they racked their brains when coming up with names.
