The New Biography of Han Lingdi

Chapter 36
"The emperor has a decree. Grand Tutor Chen Fan, Situ Hu Guang, and General Dou Wu have meritorious service, and the three of them are specially ordered to record the affairs of the minister." The first imperial decree was issued in this way.

This imperial decree is basically equivalent to handing over the entire court affairs to three people, and handing it over to them for handling.

"Shangshu ordered Wang Chang to not go to court because of his serious illness." In history, Wang Chang died in 168, and it's too soon to think about it.This is also something that a few people acquiesce to, and they can share more benefits if there is one less person.

"The former Taiwei Murongxian was once appointed as the chief farmer. His son Muronghan was the commander of the Fifth Battalion of the Northern Army, Shui Xiaowei. His son Murong Hao was the Taifu Changshi."

The Murong family has attracted many factions in the promotion of Liu Hong, not to mention that Murong Xuan is already sixty years old. In this era, it can be said that his body has been basically buried in the earth, so this position is Gave it.

"Yu Wentai, Lieutenant of the Fifth Battalion Infantry of the Northern Army. Yu Wenhao Yushi Zhongcheng." The Yuwen family does not have a leading figure now. Although they support Liu Hong, their strength is still too small, so Liu Hong feels that the promotion of Yu Wentai must start.

"Tuobagui, served as Guang Luxun, his son Tuobasi, captain of Shesheng, the Fifth Battalion of the Northern Army." Not to mention the Tuoba family, their strength is not as good as that of the Yuwen family.Although the talents of the next generation are not necessarily bad, but after all, this generation is not good enough, Liu Hong thinks it is better to help.

"Changsun Sheng, take up the position of Chief Situ." Liu Hong was a little speechless when he heard this. The current supporters can get it apart from Murong's family. There is a big farmer who is not bad, and the others are all Liu Hong. It was carried out abruptly.

However, Yu Wentai, Murong Han, Tuo Basi, Changsun Sheng, Murong Hao, and Yu Wenhao are among the middle-aged generation in their 20s and 30s who Liu Hong decided to focus on training.These people can be said to have created an era.

Yu Wentai, who founded the Fubing system, was the founder of the Guanlong Group in the Sui and Tang Dynasties. This group established three dynasties single-handedly.Great fame.

"Li Keyong. Take up the post of General Hu Ben Zhonglang." General Hu Ben Zhonglang is under Guang Luxun.

There are two Zhonglang generals under Guang Luxun, one is Huben Zhonglang, and the other is Habayashi Zhonglang. They are to protect the imperial city. It is very important to arrange a loyal and capable person. Li Keyong It's the best candidate right now.

In the past, Li Keyong was a general guarding the city gates. It would be great to be promoted to General Hu Ben Zhonglang.

"Why are their followers so awesome, but I have to get my subordinates promoted to help me." Liu Hong complained in his heart.

"Liu Xiu. Be the general of Yubayashi." Liu Xiu is because Dou Wu specially compensated him because he didn't help Liu Xiu ascend to the throne of God. Before Liu Xiu was just a white body, this time he jumped to the sky and became Yubayashi directly. General Zhonglang.

Li Keyong worked so hard, and now he is just a general of Huben Zhong. If it wasn't for following Liu Hong, he would have to wait several years to become a general of Huben Zhong. I have to say that a good background is really useful. It also matters to people.

As for the royal family, it can be said that they got nothing in the process of benefit distribution. They supported Liu Che at first, but not Liu Hong. Although Dou Wu supported Liu Xiu, after all, Dou Wu took the lead in supporting Liu Hong.

This made Dou Wu invincible in the struggle against the royal family.Therefore, after Liu Hong's acquiescence, the aristocratic family supported, and Dou Wu began to suppress the royal family.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Liu Hong asked Wang Xu to negotiate with Dou Wu, and asked people from Liu Hong's faction to take up several positions that controlled military power.Because Dou Wu needed to suppress the royal family, he was the most right with the eunuch in the end, so in the end, under Wang Xu's lobbying, he could only agree in the end.

I was a little happy to hear that my name was arranged, especially those from Liu Hong's faction. Because of his support, people with lower positions before went directly to the positions of General Zhonglang and Captain.

The position of the current captain of the Han Dynasty is different from that of the later dynasties. The current rank of the captain is still very valuable, and the higher up it is the partial general.

"Your Majesty is young now, so the Queen Mother decided that the ministers agreed to add an inner court to select talented people to join the inner court and provide planning strategies for your majesty." To put it bluntly, this inner court is the secretariat for future generations some type of.

This is what Liu Hong asked his mother, Empress Dowager Dong, to discuss with Wang Xu, Chen Fan, and Dou Wu. During this process, the royal family was directly ignored. The royal family should have participated, but the royal family's position is different. Coupled with Dou Wu's strength, In the end, the royal family can only be ignored.

"This time the inner court candidates are Zhao Kuangyin, Zhu Yuanzhang, Yang Jian, Li Yuan, Liu Che and so on." Liu Hong did not stop and directly brought all the emperors together.Let them follow you. There is indeed no suitable position for them now.

On the one hand, they are too young. They are all in their 20s. In officialdom, at this age, they are just young boys.

Another aspect is family background. Yang Jian and Li Yuan are a little better, because after all, they are all from aristocratic families, and they are still the kind of Hongnong Yang family and Li family. But they are not the eldest sons, they are all concubines. .

It is not reused at all, and Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhao Kuangyin don't need it. They are just some civilians. Now they are serving as small officials in Luoyang, and they have no bright future at all.

When the inner court was set up, it was also stated that as long as you have talent, regardless of official position or family background, these four people are all strong men with a hundred in politics and must be brought in. Plus Liu Hong, who has more than a hundred in politics, this Five people are basically equal to invincibility.

"The attendants are selected as Yu Wenyong, Tuo Batao, Changsun Wuji, Murong Jun, and Murong Chong." This time Liu Hong originally wanted to win over several powerful families and use the next generation to win over.It's just that there is no one who meets his requirements, so he can only give up.

But this time he also had a relationship with the Yang family and the Li family. After all, he was their son. Although he was not a direct descendant, he was also born in this family, so it wasn't a big problem.

"Your Majesty has decided to set up His Majesty's personal guards, with a number of three hundred. Liu Qi will serve as the head of the personal guards, Xin Wenli, Yuwen Chengdu, Wu Yunzhao, Xue Rengui, and Wu Tianxi will serve as the personal guards." These people were brought out from the manor by him. absolutely reliable.

300 people, on the one hand to guard against the eunuchs, and on the other hand to put some pressure on Dou Wu.The royal family supported him in this matter.After all, when Liu Che entered the inner court, Liu Hong gave the royal family some face and had an impact on Dou Wu's rights, so this matter was finally implemented.

In these matters, Liu Hong gave full play to his duplicity, and he was like a fish in water. He got what he wanted from all the eunuchs, generals, aristocratic families, and the royal family.

Good start for him.
