Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty

Before dawn, Guo Shao turned over and got up. +◆, Li Shanggong struggled to get up, Guo Shao held her down: "You have nothing important to do anyway, you can sleep here." Li Shanggong said: "The concubine has to serve His Majesty to dress." She got up and walked unsteadily, with disheveled hair and a tired face, but her movements were slow and careful.

Guo Shao had already put on two robes, saw a mirror comb in front of the table, and went to comb his hair neatly by himself.

A few days later, the official enthronement ceremony will be held. Although Guo Shao doesn't care about the cutscenes of the ceremony itself, there are still many things to consider. He turned his head to Li Shanggong and said, "Then I'll go first." We parted at dawn, as if he had the illusion of having a one-night stand.

"Your Majesty, is Your Majesty satisfied with the concubine's service? Will you still want me..." Li Shanggong asked hastily.

When Guo Shao looked at her, he saw sadness, anticipation and even pleading on her face. This was a completely unequal relative, not just an inequality of status. Guo Shao felt compassion in an instant... He is really not a hard-hearted person. But I don’t have so many emotions. If I pay attention to everyone and no one can cope with too many distractions, then it will be a burden and trouble.

"Very satisfied." Guo Shao said gently, "But the old people in my family are going to enter the palace today, long time no see, I have to accompany them.

Wash and eat breakfast. The chief official on duty today is the eunuch Yang Shiliang, and the chariot is ready, so Guo Shao said to go straight to the Imperial Study Room of Jinxiang Palace. At this time, it was just dawn, and the light in the wide square in the morning was dim and soft, and the air was humid and cool, which really made people feel refreshed.

As far as a hall, there are some tables, desks and stools in front of it, and there are many piles of documents. There is a thin wall in the middle, and the wooden skeleton is framed with silk fabrics. There is also a curtain hanging on the door.

Yang Shiliang said: "In the past, my mother was here to review the memorials. Because some foreign ministers also work here, for etiquette, she hung a curtain to cover it. The servant's family asked someone to take it down."

Guo Shao has been here before, when he was summoned by the "Queen Dowager". It is true that there will be many officials outside here to help with various official duties. It is still early at this moment, and it is estimated that they will come later.

He went in and sat down at a table covered with a yellow tablecloth. It immediately occurred to her that Fu Jinzhan had been sitting here for so many days, but now she wasn't here.

Guo Shao looked around, as if he saw a slim and beautiful figure wandering in this temporarily dimly lit room. He felt a little sour... They were in the same palace, but they couldn't get along day and night. Guo Shao closed his eyes slightly, and smelled a scent of ink and a faint scent. He turned his head and found an incense burner in the corner.

He calmed down first, and saw a pile of memorials on the royal case, so he flipped through them casually.

Yang Shiliang went to bring the tea himself, carefully placing it on the table without making a sound, for fear of disturbing Guo Shao.

But Guo Shao was obviously inattentive. He read it for a long time, and couldn't help cursing inwardly: Damn, it's full of nonsense, and there is no punctuation; it took a long time to read a memorial and finally see a little bit of substance.

But he couldn't completely deny the role of civil servants. If it weren't for these copywriting articles, the whole country might not even have basic laws and regulations. There are many rules hidden in these words... It's just that it takes too much effort to figure it out. Is it a similar usage to the countless long and long documents in modern times? It's just that people at this time quote the classics of sages and sages, and later generations will use various doctrines and spirits.

Guo Shao instinctively does not deny its role in order, but he is really unhappy to see it, and thought: I will not do anything else in the future, just sit here all day thinking about the memorial, maybe there is not enough time. No wonder the later Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty, it is said that he only slept for one or two hours a day, and he was very diligent in reviewing the memorials in person, and his hair turned gray at a young age; reading the memorials was really troublesome.

Yang Shiliang stood aside, Guo Shao turned his head and said: "Today, take it to the Political Affairs Hall first, and say that I have roughly read it, and let the ministers handle it as appropriate."

Yang Shiliang hurriedly said, "Here."

The eunuch made arrangements and came back again. Guo Shao sized him up, and found that Yang Shiliang was very strong, tall and strong, if he hadn't had a beard and didn't speak with a low voice, he would be different from other eunuchs.

Guo Shao said casually: "No matter what system or rules, the most important thing at this moment is people, rule by people."

Yang Shiliang hurriedly said: "Your Majesty is wise."

Guo Shao pointed to a locked door behind: "What's inside?"

Yang Shiliang said: "It's a room where some important old files are stored. Your Majesty can read them when you want to."

"Open." Guo Shao ordered.

Not long after, he followed Yang Shiliang into the house. There is only one door in the room without windows, and some wooden lattices are placed on the wall, and various files are neatly placed on the lattices; there is a table and a round stool in the middle of the room.

"This place is good." Guo Shao sat down on the stool and gestured to the position on the wall. "Paste some large white paper on it, and then cut some white paper three fingers wide, and take the paste pen and ink."

Yang Shiliang didn't ask a single question, and immediately replied: "My family will be ready soon."

So after a while, Guo Shao restarted the method of sticking notes. He first divided the imperial army into two parts, the front division of the palace and the guard Mabu division. Then, starting from Li Chuyun, the commander of the capital in front of the palace, the stickers were pasted in the form of the upper and lower pyramids.

In addition, the lists of the Privy Council and the Political Affairs Hall are also classified and pasted; there is also a list of Jiedushi from other towns...these are not complete, because Guo Shao himself can't figure out who the full officials and Jiedushi are.

He can't even remember the generals of the Imperial Army. He is familiar with the Sihu Benjun in front of the palace, and the generals above the military capital Yuhou can remember; he can't remember the names of the first-level guards.

Guo Shao said to Yang Shiliang again: "I'm looking for someone to go to the Privy Council and the Political Affairs Hall to pass the decree. I want the official positions and lists of civil and military officials above the fifth rank in the country."

There are not many people he can remember, but all he remembers are those who hold key |power, especially those related to military force. He was born as a general. Therefore, before the list was obtained, it did not affect Guo Shao's thinking in organizing.

All the civil servants who came to Shangzhi outside had arrived, Guo Shao opened the door and could see them coming in. Most of them are people they don't know, and it seems that there are people sent by various government agencies such as the Zhengshitang, the Privy Council, and the Imperial Academy.

As soon as those officials came to work, they all sat upright and wrote and calculated. Guo Shao didn't know what they were busy with. The memorials were sent away, and there was no need to issue imperial edicts now, but those people could still be busy all the time, at least they seemed busy.

...Before the enthronement ceremony, Guo Shao felt that the most important thing was how to bestow officials and titles on his courtiers; this was the real thing, because every emperor's ascension to the throne would make people feel that the official position was a reward from the new king in name. Other than that, the year name and etiquette are not the most important things...Even the two emperors Chai Rong and Chai Zongxun did not change their year names when they ascended the throne, they have been making do with the previous ones;

According to the rules of Chai Zongxun when he ascended the throne, Jiedu in many places made him change places and military towns. There may be two purposes. The first is to test the loyalty of the local commander-in-chief. Those who are willing to obey the new imperial decree have recognized the new emperor;

Guo Shao pondered for a while looking at the note on the wall, opened his notebook, and wrote down the two most important things.

The most important thing for the central government is to check this position in front of the palace, whether it is necessary to continue to be a person; the most important thing for the local government is the disposal of Li Yun, the military governor of the Zhaoyi Army.

Inspections are carried out in front of the hall... Guo Shaozhen is still a little hesitant. In history, Zhao Kuangyin used this position to usurp the throne, and he himself ascended the throne from this position. In the era when warriors were rampant, the inspection in front of the palace was only one step away from the throne!

Of course, this last step is very difficult. If Chai Rong did not die of illness and the person staying in the imperial city was not a child, no matter Zhao Kuangyin or Guo Shao, if they worked in front of the palace for ten or twenty years, they might not dare to take the last step, nor would they have a chance to grow their wings.

(Dianqian inspected positions that did not exist a few years ago, but were only established in recent years. In the past, the most senior military general with real power was the commander of the guard Mabu Sidu; Chai Rong rectified the front and back of the palace, and the status and importance of the Dianqian division surpassed that of the guard Mabusi.)

But from another point of view, Li Chuyun and others have meritorious service, and they also have military exploits on the battlefield. If they don't raise it one step further, they will cancel the post of the front of the palace. On the one hand, it would appear that the emperor was stingy, and on the other hand, it would make them feel that the emperor was suspicious and vigilant... Of course Guo Shao was vigilant, but he didn't want to show it. It is not necessary to confer titles on generals of the Forbidden Army, because there has never been a matter of conferring titles on kings and marquises by generals of the Forbidden Army. To give them the title of Marquis means leaving the military post of the Forbidden Army.

Guo Shao reached out and stroked his forehead for a long time.

I thought again: In fact, even if there is no inspection in the front of the palace, I have already declared myself emperor and left the front office of the palace, and the highest general in the front office of the palace is the commander. It's just that the status is different, and the power and position are basically the same.

Guo Shao pondered for a long time, then wrote on the paper, Li Chuyun was inspected in front of the palace, Shi Yanchao was inspected by the deputy governor, and Yang Biao was commanded in front of the palace... After writing, he weighed and thought over and over again. Sometimes his thinking is very divergent, making various speculations in his head, guessing the mentality and motivation of those generals, and thinking about the resources they can use, the risks they will face when making choices, and so on.

Perhaps, others are also inferring themselves in this way?

Guo Shao decided on the matter for the time being, and wrote Li Yun's name. This guy is also more difficult to deal with. You have to look back a few steps and prepare in advance how to deal with it.

Guo Shao wanted the ministers to write a letter to talk about their opinions and considerations, so that he could refer to it, and then thought of the dense and unpunctuated written language, and thought: We still meet, and it would be more enjoyable to talk directly.
