Chapter 665 Enthroned as Emperor
"That's right, that's what I thought. Hehe, now that you are about to ascend the throne as the emperor, how can I, my father-in-law, not give you some gifts? Are you satisfied with my gift?"

Lu Bu looked at Liu He with a smile, and said with a little complacency.

Liu He nodded naturally to this, and expressed that he was very satisfied and would definitely give the other party a corresponding reward. In addition, Liu He also left Lu Bu to live in the palace to reunite with his wife and daughter.

In a blink of an eye, it was the sixth day of July, which was the day when Liu He ascended the throne.

In the early morning of this day, Liu He ordered people to hold the jade seal and the imperial edict to pass on the throne, worship heaven and earth, and recite the sacrificial oration written by Wang Can, the head of the seven sons of Jian'an himself, to announce to the ancestors of heaven and earth that they would ascend the throne as emperor.

All of a sudden, there were auspicious clouds and auspicious clouds between the sky and the earth, and the auspicious atmosphere was shining, and the sky and the earth were peaceful. The civil and military officials around the ceremony, gentry celebrities from all over the world, representatives of the people, as well as the Xiongnu, Xianbei, Jie, Di, Qiang, and Representatives from countries in the Western Regions, the Parthia Empire, and the Great Qin (Roman) Empire cheered and celebrated.

Then Liu He issued the first imperial edict since he succeeded to the throne. He changed the Yuan to Kaiyuan and set next year as the first year of Kaiyuan. , the rest of the criminals will be reduced or exempted from punishment, and announced the reduction of taxes and customs levies, and the reduction of 17% of taxes for foreign businessmen who come to Dahan to do business, and announced that they will set up post stations along the way from Chang'an to the countries of the Western Regions. Provide food and water.

As soon as Liu He's edict was announced, it immediately caused a great commotion. The representatives of Hu businessmen in the surrounding area all rejoiced and knelt down to thank the emperor for his kindness.

In addition, Liu He also announced the establishment of a mutual market in the border area with the foreign race, allowing the big man to trade openly and freely with the foreign race. The big man can provide high-end luxury goods such as silk, tea, jewelry, and fine wine in exchange for the cattle, sheep, and horses of the foreign race. to improve the living standards of the people.

This news also made the aliens very excited. For them, cattle, sheep and horses are a free business. Anyway, they also make a living by grazing. It is true for them to be able to exchange these costless cattle and sheep for the supplies of the big man. It's worth looking forward to, but the emperor didn't add grain and ironware to the tradable materials, which made them a little disappointed.

Later, Liu He issued an imperial edict, pursuing the deceased emperor Liu Xie as the Emperor Xiaoxian, and Liu He's father, Liu Yu, as the King of Yan, and his mother, Wang, as the Empress Dowager. The ancestors were crowned as kings, and the female ancestors were crowned as princesses.

This is also a tradition and practice. Mingmu is to confer five temples. In fact, as the son of heaven, he could confer conferring seven temples. But after all, Liu He inherited the throne of Emperor Xiandi of the Han Dynasty. In the system of princes, five temples were conferred on the ancestors.

The so-called five temples refer to father, ancestor, great-grandfather, great-grandfather, and first-father. For Liu He, only four generations are needed, because his first ancestors were Emperor Guangwu of Han Dynasty and Emperor Gaozu. The two were originally emperors. There is no need to reseal.

Later, Huang, the former concubine of the Qin Dynasty, was canonized as the queen, Huang's mother, Cai, was posthumously named Mrs. Jing, and her father, Huang Chengyan, was named the Marquis of Xiangyang (county lord), and Liu Yu, the son of the original Qin Dynasty, was canonized as the crown prince.

In fact, Liu He was still full of apologies for the canonization of Liu Yu as the crown prince. Of course, the object of his apology was not Liu Yu, but Liu Chan. This person was originally his eldest son, but he was biased against him. Huang Yueying, who knew the inside story, was also apologetic in her heart. She had repeatedly asked Liu He to recognize Liu Chan and make Liu Chan the crown prince. Liu He firmly opposed this, because he knew that if he did so, it would definitely cause a chaos.

But Liu Chan didn't have any grievances about this. His background and destiny had already been decided, and he would never be the emperor of a big man.

Later, Liu He announced that the reform of the country's official titles would be carried out. Both the official system and the titles were divided into nine grades, and each grade was divided into two levels: Zheng and Cong, which is equivalent to Zheng and Deputy. The grades are divided into upper and lower grades, and their salaries range from ten thousand shi to three hundred shi.

In addition, Liu He also announced the reform of the central government system, setting up three provinces and six ministries. Quan, among them, the grade of Shangshuling is the second grade, and there are left and right servants, each of which is the third grade. Hu Li Bing criminal workers, each minister is a minister, with a position of third rank, and a separate Yushitai is set up. The chief is Yushi doctor, with a rank of second rank. Jiuqing, the official position of the chief is the fourth rank
Afterwards, Liu He issued an imperial edict, worshiping Xun Yu as the order of Shangshu, Chen Qun as the left servant of Shangshu, Jia Xu as the right servant of Shangshu, Xun You as the order of Zhongshu, Guo Jia as the servant, Zhuge Liang as the servant of Zhongshu, and Pang Tong as the servant of Zhongshu. The servant of the Huangmen Gate was appointed Minister of the Ministry of Officials, Ma Jun was the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, Pei Qian was the Minister of the Ministry of War, Wang Can was the Minister of the Ministry of Rites, Lu Fan was the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, Liu Ye was the official official, Xu Shu was the Yushi Zhongcheng
Later, it announced the reform of the military system, and set up the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, and the Duhu Mansion in the border areas. In view of the formation of the military system of the government, the Sixteen Guards system was established in each locality and among the Central Forbidden Army. The military chiefs in various places are the generals of the guards, and the rank is three.

From then on, governors of various states and prefects of various counties generally no longer held military positions concurrently, and their military positions were naturally abolished, and were replaced by local military officials.

So Liu He appointed Zhao Yun as the general, who also served as the governor of the governor's office of Andong, and the government was located in Liaodong County; The Metropolitan Superintendent is located in Dunhuang County; Lu Bu is the General of Chariots and Cavalry, and concurrently serves as the Metropolitan Governor of the Metropolitan Government of Yongzhou, where he governs in Chencang; It is located in Jiaozhi County; Guan Yu is the governor of the Metropolitan Government of Yizhou, and the governor is located in Chengdu; Huang Zhong is the governor of the Metropolitan Governor of Xuzhou, and the governor is located in Xiapi; Qu Yi is the governor of the Metropolitan Governor of Jizhou, and the governor is located in Weijun; He is the lieutenant of Sili, and he has the same post as the governor of the major governors; Xu Huang is also the governor of the governor's mansion of Jingzhou.

Afterwards, Liu He announced that he would name his former army, the Bailu Army, "Wanqi", with Chen Dao as the commander, a third-rank official, in charge of the imperial guards of the Beiya court, and Xu Chu as the general of the left Wuwei and Dian Wei as the right. General Wuwei is in charge of the imperial guards of the Nanya Palace. Pan Feng, Pei Yuanshao, Deng Zhan, and Hu Cheer are the left and right Wuwei and the left and right generals respectively, and they serve as the third rank.
