Chapter 166: Chu Wu and Sun Shangxiang(1/2)
While planning a dynasty change, Chu Tian met Sun Jian at the Xia Palace and discussed the titles and official positions of everyone.
Chu Tian did not intend to establish a prime minister, but established a cabinet and six ministries.
As for military generals, they still have positions such as generals and cavalry generals, but weakening the power of the generals, the generals are more of an honorary official position.
The titles are divided into county marquis, town marquis, and courtesans. They are generally not easily granted kings unless their achievements are against the will of heaven.
For example, the Western Region Protectorate was attached to Huo'an and helped Chu Tian unify the Han Empire. Such contributions were no longer comparable to those of the duke, so he was able to be named king.
Sun Jian's contribution was still a little short of his credit, and he was named Duke Wu.
Tongque surrendered to the Jiangdong Army and was also granted Duke Duke, and was named Pingyuan Duke.
Xu Fengnian pacified Liangzhou, but because he lacked power, he was only a Duke and a Duke of Longxi.
Mu Ke's contribution was given to Huo'an, so he was granted the title of Marquis of Dianchi.
Prince Yan was granted the title of Marquis of Yuyang.
Liu Bei surrendered after he was completely defeated. He did not have a title of Duke, but only a title of Marquis of Zhuo County. Zhuo County is Liu Bei's hometown. For Liu Bei, it is also considered a return to his hometown and glorious to his ancestors.
Liu Bei's sixteen years of war were not completely gone.
The county marquis is second only to the prince and the prince, and is already above ten thousand people.
The lords, Prince Wen, Prince Zhao and others who surrendered to Chu Tian earlier were also granted titles to marquis.
Sun Ce, because of his marriage, was the Marquis of Wucheng.
Cao Cao, Zhou Yafu, Li Guang, Wei Qing, Xue Rengui and other groups of military generals who followed Chu Tian earlier were also granted titles to marquis.
Princes and Princes only have honors and titles, without fiefs or fiefs. Instead, they provide annual salary and enjoy corresponding privileges to prevent the descendants of these princes and princes from rebelling in the future.
He was granted a great title to marquis in order to win over the hearts of the people and to clear the way to become emperor.
Fang Xuanling was appointed as the chief minister of the cabinet.
It is not that Fang Xuanling is the most capable minister, but that he is qualified, has high hard work and has political capital.
When Chu Tian became emperor, Xia Tianliang was the queen. Fang Xuanling supported Xia Tianliang as the leader, but at this time he received rewards and firmly sat in the position of chief minister.
Fang Xuanling is not only a strategist, but also a senior politician who knows about exchange of interests.
Wang Meng, Sang Hongyang, Li Kui, Zhang Zhao, Li Si and others entered the cabinet.
Chu Tian implemented military and political separation and began to prohibit generals and ministers from being allowed to go to the court.
All the imperial soldiers and horses were responsible to Chu Tian. The Imperial Guard was the direct troops. The commanders of the Imperial Guard were directly responsible to the emperor. The military leaders of the Imperial Guard were responsible to the emperor. They needed to report to the emperor every six months.
The generals, commanders of the Imperial Guards, and commanders of the Legion are all directly appointed by the emperor.
Chutian established the Military Strategy Department, the Weapons Department, the Logistics Department, and the Supervision Department to control military power.
As for the Ministry of War among the six ministries, they had no real power and were undermined by Chu Tian.
The Military Strategic Department, with Sun Bin, Jia Xu, Zhang Bin and Guo Jia as the core, formulated a war plan, dispatched military supervisors to supervise various legions during the war.
The Weapons Department is responsible for producing various weapons and managing the arsenal.
The Logistics Department is responsible for transporting grain and grass, building fortresses, and city defense.
The Supervision Department is responsible for supervising the army in normal times.
The Four Divisions were also responsible to the emperor and strengthened centralization.
Chu Tian did not appoint the general's candidate.
Except for Chu Tian's first military achievements, no military general has the military achievements that surpass other military generals.
Chu Tian had many military generals and his military achievements were very dispersed, so it was difficult to decide the candidate for the general, so Chu Tian simply vacated the position of the general.
As for the level of the empire, it is still the four levels of the imperial court, the state, the state, the county, and the county.
Sun Jian brought Sun Ce, Sun Quan, and his daughter Sun Shangxiang to visit Prince Xia's Mansion, intending to let Sun Shangxiang meet Chu Wu.
Sun Shangxiang was only about eight years old at this time. She followed Sun Jian, curiously looking around the Xia Palace, and said to Sun Jian: "Dad, this place is bigger than our mansion."
"That's of course, after all, it will be upgraded to a palace soon. In a few years, you will live here."
Sun Jian took his daughter and took over the position of his daughter, which is very common for the aristocratic families.
"Um?"
Sun Shangxiang can't understand it yet.
Chu Tian held a banquet to entertain Sun Jian and his group, Chu Wu, Chu Xuan, and Chu Qi and his children also participated in the family banquet.
"The Jiangdong Army is under the leadership of Wentai. It determines the Baiyue inside and tries to the world outside. It also has to trouble Wentai."
Chu Tian toasted Sun Jian.
Sun Jian is considered a relative, so Chu Tian is quite polite to him.
"I will definitely serve."
Sun Jian was very nervous because Chu Tian would soon become emperor, and the herder of the Heavenly Heaven, above all the people.
Chu Wu was about ten years old, sitting next to his father Chu Tian, looking at the Sun family. These people could be valued by their fathers, and their identities were mostly very prominent.
When Chu Wu saw Sun Shangxiang, who was about the same age as him, his eyes couldn't help but stay for a while.
Although he is young, Chu Wu can tell the difference between beauty and ugliness, and Sun Shangxiang already has the potential to be a beauty.
Sun Shangxiang seemed to notice that Chu Wu was peeking at him, so she widened her eyes and looked at Chu Wu. Chu Wu quickly turned his head.
However, Sun Shangxiang was just curious.
Sun Ce knew about the marriage, so he was looking at his brother-in-law.
Sun Quan was unaware of the situation, but he was also curious about the future crown prince.
The importance of heirs is self-evident for an empire.
The emperor will spend resources on the crown prince, train him to become a qualified emperor, and arrange teachers to assist him.
If the crown prince is at least good or bad, he will easily fall into chaos in the battle for the throne. The successor of the battle for the throne may not have the ability to govern the country without receiving qualified training and teaching since childhood.
The most obvious example is Sun Quan in history.
After Sun Quan became emperor, he made his eldest son Sun Deng the crown prince. Sun Deng was cautious and appropriate in handling government affairs, but died at the age of 33. After that, Sun Quan cried whenever he talked about Sun Deng.
After Sun Deng's death, the Wu Kingdom had a fight for the position of crown prince. In addition, Sun Quan was old and did not wake up when he was young, and the officialdom of the Wu Kingdom was in chaos.
As the eldest son, Sun Quan worked hard to cultivate him, and ordered Sun Deng to marry Zhou Yu's daughter as the crown prince's concubine, and appointed Zhuge Jin's son Zhuge Ke, Zhang Xiu, Zhang Zhao's son, Gu Yong's son Gu Tan, and Chen Wu's son Chen Biao to enter the palace to teach poetry and books for Sun Deng, and follow him to ride horses and hunt. The famous scholars Cheng Bing and Zhang Wen were successively the crown prince's tutors. Lu Xun taught soldiers for Sun Deng.
Sun Quan went to fight against Hefei, and Sun Deng guarded the rear.
Therefore, Sun Deng's death was definitely a heavy blow to Sun Quan, and the fate of Wu State also changed.
Chu Tian's cultivation of Chu Wu was somewhat similar to Sun Quan's cultivation of Sun Deng.
Chu Tian also used a lot of resources to cultivate Chu Wu. Chu Wu had six characteristics at the age of ten. Wu Qi, Le Yi, Sun Bin, Jia Xu, Xun Yu and others taught for the prince, and Zhuge Liang was Chu Wu's senior brother.
Chu Tian also retained two tokens of the Iron Eagle Sharp and the Qiexue Army, which can be used as the exclusive military service of Chu Wu.
In addition, Chu Tian married the Sun family in Jiangdong and Ma families in Xiliang. He used the Sun family, the daughter of the Ma family, as the concubines of the East Palace in the future, to strengthen the team of Chu Wu.
The crown prince does not have enough power and will not be able to control the ministers in the future.
There is no good minister of Chutian's power. They are all big figures from all dynasties, and ordinary people really cannot control them.
"Wu'er, wait for you to accompany the daughter of the Sun family to see your mother in the backyard."
"yes."
Chu Wu didn't understand why Chu Tian asked him to take Sun Shangxiang to the backyard to see Xia Tianliang, but he did not dare to disobey Chu Tian's intentions.
Chu Tian and Sun Jian are still discussing the distribution of interests and the future conquest of Annan and other places.
Chu Wu took his sister Chu Xuan, Chu Qi and others back to the backyard, and the young Sun Shangxiang was also there.
Sun Shangxiang was not restrained and was not afraid: "I heard from my father that this is the Xia Palace, so are you all the sons or daughters of Xia?"
Chu Xuan nodded and said to Sun Shangxiang, who was almost apart in age, "Well, my name is Chu Xuan, where are you?"
"Sun Shangxiang. What's your name?"
Sun Shangxiang pulled the corner of Chu Wu's clothes.
"Chu Wu, there is no word for expression yet."
"I often hear my father mention you, but I really don't understand why. You are just a little brat."
Sun Shangxiang crossed her hands and pretended to think, but in fact, at her age, thinking was just futile.
In summer, it was cool in the backyard and held a tea party with Mulan, Xiao Chuo and others, and it was rare to have peace in the world.
Emperor Roufu is taking care of his newborn young son, and he is also Chu Tian's third son.
Xiao Chuo was a little envious of the Roufu Emperor Zhao Yuanyuan because she also wanted to have a son.
Xiao Chuo touched his flat belly and sighed helplessly.
"mother."
