Empire's Summoning Generals System

"Chen Zheng, the second son of Chen Shuo, died in the battle and made meritorious deeds. He was posthumously named Hushi General, Shang Hujun, and Qing Xuhou!"

"Chen Qi, grandson of Chen Shuo, inherits Duke Chen's title and is Marquis of Liaocheng!"

As Chen Shuo's direct blood relatives, Chen Qi and Chen Ying immediately kowtowed their thanks.

Liu De struggled to stand up, walked to the side of the tombstone, caressed the smooth but cold stone, recalled the scene with Chen Shuo in the past, but it was vivid in his mind, his arms were weak, he waved his hand gently, and said to everyone: "Go back! I'll stay here for a while..."

"Your Highness..."

"Okay, let's go down!"

At this time, it was raining lightly in the sky. Liu De raised his head and let the rain slap on his face, soaking his clothes. Tears gushed out with the rain, but he couldn't tell whether it was rain or tears.

It is said that the king should not show his emotions, he should not show his likes and dislikes to outsiders, let alone let his subordinates see the weak side of the king, but Liu De no longer cares about these things, he just wants to vent. Fan, cry bitterly.

The words Chen Ying whispered in his ears still linger in Liu De's heart: "Grandfather has been waiting for his husband to come back, even if grandfather died, he is also facing the west..."

The rain is getting bigger and bigger!

......

Chen Shuo passed away, and before that, Shao Qin and Shaogong also passed away, and Liu De was also in grief and anger. Once Shao Tan died, the situation in Yangzhou would become even more rotten.

Liu De sent a letter to Shao Qin's son, Shao Rui, to express his inner heaviness.

In a letter to the imperial court in Chenliu, I hope that the imperial court will honor Shao Gong's achievements, and declare Shao Rui as Yangzhou shepherd, inheriting Shao Qin's position.

......

Hundreds of officials commented on Chen Shuo's merits, and his posthumous title was "Wen". According to historical records: Yan Wenhou.

As for the Ziguang Pavilion that Liu De mentioned, under the construction of the Ministry of Industry, it broke ground very quickly. It is next to the Tongque Terrace. However, because the Tongque Terrace is relatively tall, it has not been completed yet, and because Zijin Pavilion is more important, so the Ministry of Industry put aside the construction of Tongque Terrace first, and devoted all efforts to build Zijin Pavilion.

In order to commemorate the 28 generals who followed Guangwu Emperor Liu Xiu and made the greatest contributions and the strongest abilities, Liu Zhuang, Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty, ordered portraits of 28 generals to be painted in Yuntai Pavilion, Nangong, Luoyang, called Yuntai 28 Generals.

Emperor Xuandi of the Han Dynasty recalled the meritorious ministers who assisted him in the past because the Huns surrendered to the Han Dynasty. He ordered eleven statues of the meritorious officials to be painted on the Qilin Pavilion to commemorate and praise them.

During the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty "being a king, driving talents, and treating scholars with sincerity", ordered Yan Liben to paint portraits of 24 heroes in Lingyan Pavilion in memory of the many heroes who fought together in the past. He is the 24 heroes of Lingyan Pavilion.

Therefore, in order to encourage civil and military officials, Liu De also built the Zijin Pavilion, which was enshrined by the people of the world to show his merits. Moreover, Liu De did not plan to use portraits, but directly summoned skilled craftsmen to build them in bronze at a one-to-one ratio. For the platform, the calligrapher was ordered to splash ink on it to write a biography, and to engrave it with gold characters.

Later, the emperor ordered to rebuild a heroic hall next to the Zijin Pavilion for the people to worship. The heroic temple in Dongyu City remained the same. The heroic temple was specially set up for the soldiers who died in battle, and it did not conflict with the Zijin Pavilion.

Chen Shuozhi's tomb was buried on Jingshan Mountain in the suburbs of Beiping. In order to prevent Chen Shuo from being disturbed, Liu De directly ordered that Jingshan Mountain be the place where meritorious ministers were buried, and Liu De named it the Mausoleum of Loyalty and Justice.

Once Chen Shuo died, a great man could not be prime minister for a day. Xun Yu had been trained in a series of positions such as the chief of the general's mansion, the secretary of the Ministry of officials, and the second assistant of the cabinet. No matter his qualifications or ability, he was enough to be the first assistant of the cabinet.

Liu De didn't talk nonsense, and directly worshiped Xun Yu as the chief assistant of the cabinet to lead the ministers.

Xun Yu was appointed as the chief assistant of the cabinet, so he could no longer be the Minister of the Ministry of Officials. Liu De transferred the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, Xu Guangqi, to be the Minister of the Ministry of Officials. Pretty big.

Liu De's appointment of Xu Guangqi is also very meaningful. Needless to say, Xu Guangqi's ability is not a pure Confucian school. Act of.

Moreover, in terms of family background, Xu Guangqi was not from a wealthy family, so Liu De's appointment as Minister of the Ministry of Officials also meant to cultivate a poor family to suppress the family.

Moreover, since Xu Guangqi served as Minister of the Ministry of Industry, he has repeatedly completed Liu De's tasks very well and outstandingly. Although Tongque Terrace and Zijin Pavilion were not completed, this did not prevent Xu Guangqi from taking over as Minister of the Ministry of Officials.

Cui You, the censor of the left capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, was the minister of the Ministry of Industry, supervising the construction of the Tongque Terrace and the Zijin Pavilion; Xu Shu, the Mu of Yanzhou, was the censor of the Zuodu of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and Di Renjie was the pastor of Yanzhou .

Beizhou Mu Zhang Zhao was transferred to Jizhou Mu, and Beizhou Biejia Gaolin took over the post of Beizhou Mu.

Fang Xuanling, the prefect of Beiping, made great contributions and moved to Jizhou Biejia.Chen Qun was moved to be the prefect of Beiping.

It is not good for the other states to remain unchanged, and it is not good to mobilize local officials within one or two years, because that will not achieve any political achievements, and it is easy to make ministers eager for quick success.

So Liu De decided to evaluate every five years, or promote or demote, and would only be transferred frequently unless it was absolutely necessary. For example, this time, Xun Yu was the chief assistant of the cabinet. Moreover, although there are many capable ministers in the center, each of them performs their duties, and it is not easy to lightly adjust them, so they have to be slightly mobilized to fill the positions of the center.

When the officials are slowly replenishing, such things will no longer happen.

After the power transfer of the central authority was basically completed, Liu De also got rid of the heavy government affairs and turned his attention to the confrontation between Li Yun and Xiang Rui.

......

Chapter 536 Jujube

When Liu De received the battle report, it was two months later. Li Yun finally succeeded in defending Danzhou, but a small part of Luzhou was indeed lost. The soldiers were exhausted from running around, Li Yun finally gave up this idea, but reduced his troops to cultivate health and rest.

The reason for Xiang Yu's retreat is very simple. Xu Siye from Huaizhou sent troops to attack Xiang Yu's hometown. Xiang Yu had no choice but to withdraw his troops and return to Dongzhou. If he didn't return, his hometown would be demolished. Even if he could defeat Li Yun What's the use.

Li Yun was very lucky.

Liu De looked at the battle report and said with a smile. Although Liu De didn't know much about Xiang Yu, letting Xu Siye touch the door of his house this time would definitely make this Duke of Qi violent. It seems that for a long time, this His Royal Highness Qigong will focus on Xu Siye.

After all, Chen Shuo was already old. In this era, being able to live to seventy is considered a long life. The sorrow is over, and life will continue.

In order to respect Chen Shuo, Liu De ordered that during Chen Shuo's funeral, no drinking and merrymaking, singing and dancing, the bustling places in Beiping City were also depressed for some days.

He has been abroad for half a year, with Xun Yu in government affairs and Zhang Tianlang in military affairs, Liu De only takes control of some major issues, and let the officials do the rest of the small things, Liu De is responsible for everything If you deal with it, Liu De won't be exhausted!

Liu De is not willing to do this.

And now the court system and other aspects are considered perfect, even if Liu De is away on an expedition, he can basically guarantee smooth government affairs, which is enough.

And Liu De returned to the mansion to rest for a few days, to accompany his sister-in-law and a bunch of concubines, including a bunch of his children.

The eldest son Liu Zhao, the second son Liu Dun, and the eldest daughter Liu Ning are all four years old, and the third son Liu Ren is also three years old. Liu De has taken the school exam a little bit, and he looks good when he reads poetry and books.

Liu Zhao is like a little grown-up, while Liu Dun is more dull than others, but Liu Ren is well-behaved, a child, you can tell what's going on.

However, in Liu De's view, it was time to find a teacher for his children. He was often on expeditions, and his mother alone could not teach them much.

Liu De held the tenth youngest son, Liu Chong, in his arms, and gently touched the tip of little Liu Chong's nose from bottom to top with his fingers. A little piggy face appeared in front of Liu De. Little Liu Chong might feel uncomfortable , pulling Liu De hard with his small hands, but seeing that he couldn't move, his little mouth deflated, and immediately burst into tears, which made Liu De laugh out loud.

As Liu Chong's mother, Yang Yuhuan was also waiting on the sidelines, and handed the dates on the plate to Liu De's mouth. Liu De opened his mouth and let Yang Yuhuan carefully deliver the dates to his mouth.

Liu De chewed it twice, and spat out the date pit into the plate held by Yang Yuhuan. Liu De couldn't help but nodded: "This date is quite sweet, where did the date come from?"

Yang Yuhuan couldn't answer for a while, how could she, a young lady of a family, know this, Yang Yuhuan hurriedly looked at the nanny behind her.

The mother stepped forward and replied: "Your Highness, the people in Beiping planted these jujubes. There are one or two jujubes in the yard at home. When the mature ones come out and sell some money, the wives like to eat jujubes. But the jujubes There are too few, and you won’t be able to buy them if you go late. You can even eat some dates at this time of the year!”

Liu De nodded. People in ancient times liked to eat sugar, especially high-ranking officials, who had a great demand for sugar. Salt is an important strategic material, but sugar is also indispensable.

However, there are not many types of sugar now, and jujube is a rare sugar that can be eaten directly in the north, and oranges and pomelo in the south, all of which can be made into sugar.

What remains is caramel, the starchy sugar made from grains, which is commonly sold by street vendors.

There is also sugar cane, which can also be made into sugar, but because sugar cane is a product of the south, it is almost invisible in the north.However, although sugarcane can be made into sugar, its status is obviously inferior to caramel, which may be related to the taste. The sweetness of sucrose should not be compared with caramel.
