1498 Award of Merit
Compared with the grand and lengthy emperor's throne ceremony, the process of honoring the emperor was much simpler. The etiquette was carried out for only more than an hour, and then the father and son were invited to the ministers.
However, Chen Chong was not dissatisfied with this. The experience he enjoyed now was unimaginable in his dreams in his early years, and it was enviable to the world. If there was a little loss, it was that his close friend Qian Feng could never appear in front of others and share this joy with him.
The friendship between Chen Chong and Qian Feng is definitely not a conspiracy. Based on the interests of the conspiracy, they have similar family backgrounds, similar interests, and good personalities. They are a lifelong close friend.
Moreover, Qian Feng also helped the Shen family's imperial career. Whether it was to hide under Wang Dun in his early years or to hide behind the scenes and traveling far away to Hebei, including after Shen Cheng's family truly gained power, many things that Shen Chong and his son were inconvenient to deal with or had no energy to do were also hosted by Qian Feng.
Now time has passed, and Qian Feng's old crime has almost been washed away after the Shen family ruled Jiangdong. Logically speaking, even if Qian Feng is now open to his identity and appears before the people, no one will still catch the old things.
However, after so many years of concealment, Qian Feng has no eagerness to open his identity. Moreover, even if he opens his identity, many things he does are actually difficult to get formal praise. If he is immersed in too deep conspiracy, it is inevitable that the reputation is poor. Once it is widely known to the world, it will affect the development of his children.
In fact, according to the relationship between Qian Feng and Chen Chong, even if he cannot enjoy honor, his children will definitely receive full care from Shen. Qian Feng's only son Qian Mo is now in Taiwan, and has joined the Secret Pavilion to travel north, with great prospects. If His Majesty had not considered that their father and son were together, Qian Mo would have stayed in Hebei to take office as a prefecture and county.
But despite this, after the night banquet, Chen Chong felt that he had enjoyed the honor and felt that he had owed many friends, and he specifically reminded the emperor that he would give enough compensation to Qian at the later ceremony.
In fact, even without his father's advice, Shen Zhezi would not ignore this matter. With the restoration of Hebei, many secrets and old stories of Jie Kingdom were disclosed in many prisoners of war confessions, allowing Shen Zhezi to more comprehensively outline the process of Shi Le's death in Jie Kingdom's first lord, and to understand Qian Feng's key role played by him.
Qian Feng is indeed not a good person who governs the country. Even though he has some conspiracy, he seems a bit clumsy and ridiculous when he is under the general trend. However, once he is arranged in a suitable situation and position, he can play an irreplaceable role among others.
Of course, let alone these things be discussed. Just to satisfy my father's demands, Shen Zhezi will also give full treatment to the Qian family.
The problem of the treatment rules and regulations of the Supreme Emperor is very simple to solve. After all, there are the old rules of Emperor Gaozu of Han as the basis. The Supreme Emperor did not live in the ban, and the Xuanren small city was expanded into the Shouxing Palace as the Supreme Emperor Rongyang Palace.
This place was originally the emperor's old residence, with walls and alleys directly connected to the ban, which was convenient for travel and safety, and there were sufficient security, but there were no many constraints in the ban. The scale was also quite large, and it was enough for the Emperor to cultivate himself and meet old people here, even if he was homesick, it was enough to store Wuxiang scenery in a small town to entertain audio-visual. Chen Chong was very satisfied with this arrangement.
On the fourth day of the ceremony, the ministers asked to enthrone the Kunji Central Palace. There was no doubt about this. His Majesty the Emperor had few wives and concubines, and the Sima, the wife was married at a young age. She had a close relationship with her husband and wife. She had two sons in a row. As the legitimate daughter of the righteous lord, her status was equally noble, so she was naturally the best choice for the queen of the Central Palace.
After the ministers submitted a request, the emperor immediately issued an edict to make his wife Sima the queen. The two saints held the court together and accepted the congratulations of the ministers in Liangyi Hall. Later, the empress surrendered Kun again. Among the emperor's two concubines, Cui was named the imperial concubine. The other concubine Guaer simply gave the emperor's surname to the emperor and became Shufei Concubine because she was born in the Shen family.
At this point, the ceremony surrounding the emperor's family came to an end. Then there was a ceremony of honoring the titles and honors with everyone. His Majesty the Emperor awarded the relatives and ministers in the Hanyuan Hall of the outer court, and the Empress lived in the Changqiu Hall of the inner court to meet the noble wife.
As soon as the new dynasty was established, the title and title were equivalent to the emperor's rank. Taichung also widely adopted various theories and discussed them for a long time.
The most important point among this is naturally the issue of the title of the relatives of the clan. Especially the Shen clan is huge and has many ethnic groups. Any slight difference can produce great results in actual practice. The Sima clan clan in the previous dynasty was also a lesson in trouble for the people and the country, so it naturally requires great caution.
Finally, the final decision was made, that is, the relatives in the Shen family were generally divided into three levels: Prince, Prince, and Marquis of Founding County. Only the brothers of the Supreme Emperor, Zhukun, Shen Ke was granted the title of King of Chu, Shen Hong was granted the title of King of Yue, Shen Ke was granted the title of King of Wei, Shen Yi was granted the title of King of Zheng, and Zhuang Yao, each of them was posthumously conferred the title of Han and Song, and they were all attacked by their descendants, and Yitong was the County Prince.
The princes, the successors, had no family but had no place to settle the country, and were in the middle but did not take up the country. They were in vain and had no job. In other words, once they were promoted to princes, they would become the ancestors of various veins, and they could honor and support them, but they would no longer involve military, political and court affairs.
In the next generation, there were more people from the Shen clan. There were as many as twelve cousins of Shen Zhezi alone, and several old guys were still young and strong, able to give birth and raise. The law of the patriarchal law, no one who was under sixteen years old would be awarded the title. Shen Ke and Shen Hong were both listed here, but even so, ten princes were still awarded the title, King of Wei Shen Ke and King of Zheng Shen Yi each awarded the title beyond the rules.
In addition, there are those who have accumulated merits among the clans and relatives who have been awarded three princes. In addition to the titles of the kings, each prince can also express his titles to Taizhou and Zongzheng, and ask for a prince to be appointed. The prince Yi is the same as the prince but has no salary. The kings surrendered and abandoned their titles in the five generations, but only the prince guarded the emperor, who inherited the rituals of the king but did not call him the title.
It should be said that this set of royal clan inheritance has quite a restriction on the royal family. If the prince does not join the country or interferes in politics, he will abolish most of the royal family's ability to protect the royal family.
King Shizong of Jin suffered a disaster on one hand, but if the emperor and his family were just purely alone, there would be many hidden dangers in the current world.
For example, His Majesty the Emperor himself also needs his brothers to take on some internal and external affairs, so he simply suppressed Shen Mu, Shen Yun and others. Shen Mu was appointed as King of Bohai, Shen Yun was appointed as King of Runan, and Shen Jinze was appointed as King of Xiangcheng, which also left room for improvement for the main persons of their work. In the future, he was promoted to another level and could be raised by Luo Rong.
As for other Shen clans, they did not give them dukes according to their titles. The only reason was that the clan was too large. Once it was ordered, it would not be difficult for the relatives of the Shen clan to gather a hundred dukes. Even if they did not give a fief and only had food and salary, this was a very huge number. They simply surrendered to the county marquis and surrendered for three generations.
Of course, if these tribes really have the best efforts or achievements in Jianye, they can not accept the title of this clan, but will be awarded a higher title for their merits.
In addition to clan relatives, there are also in-laws. If a marriage is only given titles based on family members, it will be at the highest level of a county marquis. Only the empress and the crown princess’ mother’s family may be added with a son or may be passed on for a generation.
Of course, the rules are determined, but there is still a special existence, that is, the retired emperor Sima Yan, so naturally, it cannot be regarded by his relatives in common, and he needs to be given special treatment. The king's rituals will not be changed for three generations.
The merit and title system of the new dynasty of Daliang was, in addition to the founding county dukes, county dukes, county dukes, town marquis, bons, sons, and men, and was also given the highest level of Dukes, Yitong and the county dukes. The merit and titles were based on the earl, and there were also titles but no towns, and they were given food and taxes. Therefore, the earl simply unified the four numbers of loyalty, courage, loyalty, loyalty, loyalty, and loyalty, and loyalty.
As for the son and the male rank, they are not granted as ministers as meritorious titles, but only as re-elected titles for the re-elected titles. In other words, as long as the title is reduced to this level, they must find a way to revitalize the family business, otherwise the next generation will be revived from the noble system.
The four national public teachers with the highest meritorious titles are Ma Yan, Duke Yu Yi of Qiao, Duke Xu Duhe, and Duke Lu Guo Song.
Among them, Ma Yan, a company in Jin, was both the retired emperor of the previous dynasty, the heir of the righteous lord, and the closest relative of the queen. Although Xinliang was politically adhering to the previous dynasty, it was difficult to completely erase the existence of Jin Dynasty because he was granted the title of Duke.
Yu Yi's identity is also very complicated. He was a legacy of the previous dynasty and an important official in Shaanxi. He named him a Duke of the State, which not only gave comfort to the old people, but also comforted the current people.
As for Du He and Guo Song, they are representatives of the two fields of civil and military in the new dynasty.
Du He has been responsible for government affairs in the Governor's Office since his early years, and after the establishment of the Xingtai, he has been in charge of government affairs in full, which can be the first contribution in this regard.
In terms of military merits, the competition is more intense. In addition to the fact that Guo Song was given a military merit, he was also the veteran who had been following His Majesty the longest time. He led his troops to follow him as the rebellion of Suzu in Jiangdong, and chose him as the representative of the martial arts honor to be at least controversial.
When they arrived at the level of the county duke, they were almost completely military. Twelve people who received the titles were Xie Ai, Han Huang, Lu Yong, Mao Bao, Xie Yi, Xiao Gui, He Xi, Huan Xuan, Li Hong, Shan Xia, Ji Mu, Jiang Xu, among which Huan Xuan, Li Hong, and Shan Xia were all given a posthumous gift. In addition to He Xi and Jiang Xu, Shan Xia, all of them were military generals.
In addition to these twelve people, there are Shen Xian and Shen Mo, the Shen clan members, who may not be as good as the top twelve, but after all, they are dependents of the clan and can be granted the title of Duke of the County.
Twenty people were awarded the title of the county lord below the county lord. Of course, it does not mean that the county lord's contribution must be inferior to the county lord. It was just that for some reason, the next time I was slightly suppressed. For example, Yu Tiao and Yu Manzhi of the Yu family were also very good at making merits, but the family had already produced a super-natural Duke, and the honor and favor were too much, so they could only be temporarily downgraded.
There is also Xin Bin, who broke through Xindu and captured the Lord Shi Hu alive, because the current political and public opinion is still despising Shi Hu and his great achievements have not been faced. As the remnants of Jie Hu were eliminated and Hebei was fully settled, he would definitely have to raise the next level.
