176. A happy event is coming
The next day, the emperor issued an order to grant three thousand households for the contribution of the Xinshi Hou Wang Kuang to quell the rebellion, Hu Yin also granted one thousand households, Luo You was promoted to General Anguo, led the military commander Cao Shangshu, and Yang Yanshou was appointed as the minister of the labour Cao Shangshu.
Originally, there were four ministers of Cao in the court, all of which were 600 stones. The young emperor Liu Yu changed it to Six Caos, which were officials, households, rituals, soldiers, punishments, and labours, all of which were 1,000 stones. The six Caos almost covered all matters in the court, and all the power was collected within the Six Caos.
Originally, when he was in Zheng County, Fan Chong and Xu Xuan divided the three dukes and nine ministers and occupied the main position in the court. The emperor did not touch these big guys, but gradually put these positions in the air, making them all honorary titles. These big guys were happy, because they were not familiar with government affairs anyway.
The Censor Fan Chong rarely attended court, and the power to supervise all officials was exercised by the Censor General. Although Xu Xuan was named Prime Minister and Prime Minister, he was undermined from the beginning and could only take charge of the affairs of the camp outside the city. After the camp outside the city was disbanded, he gradually degenerated into an advisor. When there was any major event, the emperor just asked symbolically.
In name, they were two great sages of the military commanders in the country. One was the general to lead the troops to fight, and the other took leave and refused to court, and everything was ignored. All the military affairs were all over the military. The military commander had the right to dispatch troops, but the power to lead the troops was in the hands of the generals, the school captains, and the commander.
After disbanding the camp of 300,000 people and taking over the troops of Wang Kuang and Zhang Ju, the young emperor Liu Yu finally integrated the original Red Eyebrow and Green Forest system, and the power was gathered together, and no one could challenge his authority.
Wang Kuang quelled the rebellion of Yifeng, and did not go to the military camp again, but was only stuck at home and did not leave the house. A few days later, he asked His Majesty the Emperor to resign from all positions, saying that he was old and lacked energy, and did not want to worry about mundane affairs anymore. He only wanted to enjoy the peace and happiness at home, and asked His Majesty to allow him to take off this burden.
The emperor tried to keep him several times, Wang Kuang resigned several times, and after several tug-of-war, the young emperor finally agreed with regret and allowed him to go home and enjoy his happiness.
Wang Kuang, the leader of the Green Forest Uprising, finally retired unsuccessfully. With a fief of 18,000 households, he was only ranked behind the two leaders of the Red Eyebrow, Fan Chong and Xu Xuan, and retired gloriously from the power field.
Fan Chong, the leader of the Red Eyebrow Army, turned completely into a kind father at this time, preparing for his daughter's marriage every day.
The emperor's wedding was celebrated together, and the world was amnesty. This was a great event that the Han Dynasty had never had in many years, and the people of Chang'an were extremely excited.
Fan Taohua married in a glorious manner and moved into Changle Palace. Yang Yin's niece Yang Suqing was also married into the palace.
On the wedding night, the red candle was hot. Liu Yu looked at the beautiful bride under the candlelight with a smile. She felt like a girl she had taken with her in her previous life.
Fan Taohua is usually very generous, but now she lowered her head shyly, with a blush on her face, and said angrily: "Look at you, you don't say anything, you know what's good about it?"
"It looks good, everything looks good, peach blossoms, why are you so beautiful today?"
As soon as Liu Yu finished speaking, he suddenly felt a severe pain in his waist and was twisted hard by Taohua. "You mean I don't look good usually? Humph!"
Sure enough, women from ancient times are the same and unreasonable.
Since you are unreasonable, I will not be polite to you. Liu Yu rushed over and pressed the arm of the bride with biceps. He thought it would take a lot of effort, but he found it was very relaxed.
Where did that heroic and valiant peach blossom general go? Why is today's peach blossom so delicate and powerless?
"Your Majesty, be gentle." The queen gasped.
His Majesty the Emperor became a family, and his soldiers were all resettling their new homes. The placement of hundreds of thousands of troops could not be achieved overnight, and the entire Chang'an City was in a mess.
Tens of thousands of disbanded Red Eyebrow soldiers entered Chang'an. They were allocated to the house, received a settlement fee, and started a new life. Gao Laowu was one of them.
Gao Laowu was originally a carpenter and opened a workshop in Dongwu County, Langjia County. He made some wooden utensils for people. He had three or five apprentices and several masters and apprentices jointly managed the workshop. His life was quite reasonable.
Unexpectedly, Qingzhou had a severe drought, and food was scarce, and everyone was hungry. Gao Laowu and others could not survive in Dongwu, so they had to join the Red Eyebrow Army passing by here. They did some work in the Langjia Camp and ran around with the army.
The emperor disbanded the army, and Gao Laowu didn't even want the land. He would rather ask for more money and took his wife, children and an apprentice into Chang'an City. The family moved into a new house.
Gao Laowu sat on the hot kang, not to mention how comfortable it was. Seeing his wife bringing food, he set up a table with steam. The family had been bumpy for many years, how could he have such a comfortable and peaceful life?
He picked up the bowl and slapped the rice, suddenly put it down again, and a little mist slowly appeared in his eyes, and he said, "Thanks to the Emperor, my family has a good life. I, Gao Laowu, have no other skills, and I have not abandoned the carpenter's skills. I want to use the deposit fee given by His Majesty to open the wooden workshop. In this huge Chang'an City, there are countless officials and nobles. I don't know how many jobs we will have. Our good days are still coming!"
He glanced at his son, Gao Jun, who was in his early twenties, and saw that he looked absent-minded, and didn't know what he was thinking. Gao Laowu shouted, "What are you thinking about there again? Now that this wooden workshop is open, you must work with me and make some fun seriously. Don't always mess with those messy things, can it be eaten as a meal?"
Gao Jun raised his head blankly, looking at something, and suddenly said, "What's the difference? Why can't my wooden bird fly?"
Gao Laowu's apprentice Li San smiled and said, "Xiaojun is still thinking about the wooden bird he made! He heard that Luban made a wooden bird and could not fall down in the sky for three days and three nights, so he wanted to make one according to it. But after thinking about it for a few days, he has used a lot of wood, but he just can't do it, he's crazy."
Gao Laowu was so angry that he whipped Gao Jun's head with chopsticks and scolded: "You prodigal son, my good wood, have you been so troubled!"
Li San hurriedly came to persuade the family that they were making trouble. Suddenly, someone shouted outside the door: "Is Gao Giant here?"
Gao Laowu got up quickly and saw two people coming in. They were all dressed up by the official officers. He said first: "Gao Giant, I have heard that you have excellent skills for a long time. Your Majesty's New Hundred and Hundred Works Office is recruiting talents. I specially sent us to invite Gao Giant over."
Gao Laowu was shocked and instinctively refused. He knew the hardships of doing things for the government. He had also done extra migrant work in the past, that is, to deal with the government's corvee. Not only did he work hard and had no money to make money, but he was beaten and scolded at every turn. In the eyes of those officials, he was even worse than animals.
The man smiled again and said, "Gao Giant, this time we are not asking you to be a new servant, but according to the order of His Majesty the Emperor, we ask skilled craftsmen from all walks of life to go to the Hundred and Works Department to make smart things and pay wages according to the level of craftsmanship. If we can create fresh and useful utensils, we will also have another reward."
Gao Laowu was so scared that he shook his hand repeatedly, hoping to turn off the job.
Another man who looked even more rude said: "Actually, we can force you to leave, but His Majesty reminds us to treat craftsmen. Don't move roughly unless you have to. Don't force me to do it!"
Li San hurriedly advised: "Master, you go and have a walk! Don't make the two officials angry."
"Since you are your apprentice, you are also a craftsman, let's go together!"
