Chapter 041 True or False

As soon as Daolian left Jingkou, the Beifu Army received an imperial edict from the emperor. I was promoted to the internal history of Pengcheng, with the position of 2,000 stones, and became a local official with real power.

Naturally, the Huan brothers benefited the most. The emperor merged the ten counties of Nanjun, Nanping, Yidu, Tianmen, Lingling, Yingyang, Guiyang, Hengyang, Yiyang and Jianping into the State of Chu, and made Huan Xuan the king of Chu and added the courtesy of Jiuxi.

The prince is the supreme in the title. Since Xia and Shang, kings, princes, marquis, uncles, sons and men have been the sixth-class titles of princes. After King Wu of Zhou defeated Shang Zhou and pacified the world, he edicted the world: the emperor and the emperor are the sages. Although he is the lord of the world, he is far inferior to the ancient sages, so he is demoted to king and no longer calls himself emperor and emperor.

Therefore, in the Spring and Autumn Period of the Western Zhou Dynasty and the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, the emperor can be king, and the titles of princes are only princes, marquises, uncles, sons, and men.

During the Eastern Weekend, when Su Qin was together, in order to equalize the status of the allies, it was proposed that the Viscount Chu, the Duke of Song and the Marquis Zhao, who had long been called king, should all be called kings. Therefore, the status of the king of Zhou fell to the same as that of the princes.

After the king of Qin won the two weeks and six kingdoms, he thought that his achievements were far more than the king of Zhou, but also far more than the three emperors and five emperors, so he called himself "emperor". Since then, the emperor of later generations has continued to use the title of emperor. In the troubled times at the end of the Qin Dynasty, the heroes rose together, and the princes claimed that there were no more than dozens of people. After his ancestor Liu Bang unified the Central Plains, he set an iron law for thousands of years: "You can't be awarded the title of king without different surnames, and you can't be awarded the title of marquis without merit."

Several kings with different surnames with great achievements, such as Han Xin, King of Chu, Yingbu, King of Huainan, Peng Yue, King of Liang, etc., were also abolished on different charges.

Since then, non-royal people have no longer been awarded titles, and even very few have been awarded duches. The third-class marquis in the title has become the highest courtesy of ministers. In later generations, Dafan was called a king without the imperial surname, and most of them became thieves who usurped the country.

There are still more than a dozen people in the Jin Dynasty, but those are all royal families. Only Huan Xuan is not a person of the Sima clan, and only Huan Xuan is sitting in Jing, Jiang, Guang and other states, which is comparable to the emperor of the Celestial Dynasty. The actual controllable territory of the emperor of the Jin Dynasty was only in southern Yuzhou, Yangzhou, southern Qingzhou, southern Xuzhou and other areas, and these lands were also awarded to more than a dozen kings and hundreds of marquises.

It can also be imagined that Guanneihou like Yu Qiujin can't even receive a normal salary, let alone a territory.

Huan Xuan was crowned King of Chu, which reminded people of the king of Chu in the Zhou Dynasty hundreds of years ago.

At that time, Zhou Tianzi was in a small way and let Chu, Qi, Jin, Qin and other countries sit down. He is also the king of Chu, occupying half of the world. It was this State of Chu, which was the first not to pay tribute to Bao Mao; it was the State of Chu, which was the first to be called king; it was the State of Chu, which was the first to win the Central Plains.

The Zhou Dynasty ruled the world with courtesy and name. The loss of fame and etiquette made the princes follow the example of the king of Chu and burn the war in all corners of China. In the late Warring States Period, the king of Zhou, known as the co-owner of the world, could only live in more than 100 miles of land around Luoyang. Until it was finally destroyed by the powerful State of Qin.

Huan Xuan was called the king of Chu this time. Although he was edicted by the emperor, he was awarded the title of king as a foreign surname, which was both a croach and a tycoy. This move has been deeply criticized by people all over the world. The so-called: "The defense of the people is more than the defense of Sichuan." Although Huan Xuan was in a high position, he had to adopt many strategies to win the support of the courtiers and the people.

One of the most critical strategies is the Northern Expedition.

The Northern Expedition was the first state matter since the Jin Dynasty lived in the south of the Yangtze River.

The Great Jin Dynasty inherited Sima Yi from the Wei Dynasty. Sima Yi assisted Cao Cao and Cao Pi to determine the world fairly, became the founder of the Wei Dynasty, and held a high position. When the emperor died, Sima Yi and Cao Zhen were edicted together to assist the government. Politics after that. During the struggle, Sima Yi defeated Cao Zhen and took power. After the death of Sima Yi, their two sons, Sima Shi and Sima Zhao, continued to rule. Finally, just like the Wei Dynasty replaced the Han Dynasty, Sima Yan, the son of Sima Zhao, replaced the Wei Dynasty and established the huge empire of the State of Jin.

However, the Hus in the north took advantage of the chaos in the Han and Wei dynasties and strengthened their power. In Cao's life, he only led the army to fight against Wuhuan in the northeast. Zhu Cao was soft on the great enemies of the Han Dynasty, while the Xiongnu in the north and the Western countries were repeatedly soft. Although the Great Jin Dynasty achieved a unified pattern after the Wei Dynasty, the people of Shu established by Liu Bei in the southwest and the Wu people established by Sun Quan in the southeast have never been psychologically unified with the State of Jin.

In the battle for imperial power that followed, every prince with self-respecting soldiers joined the dispute. So much so that it created a good opportunity for the North and the West to rise together.

When the army and people's forces of the Jin Dynasty withered, the Hus in the north launched a crazy offensive against Chang'an and Luoyang under the banner of restoring the Han Dynasty. The imperial power of the Jin Dynasty plummeted, and there were few masters of King Qin. Two consecutive emperors, Emperor Huai and Emperor Min, were humiliated by Hu capt and died in a foreign country. The Chinese can only rely on the King of Langya, who guards Jiankang. Under the assistance of Wang Dun and Wang Dao, the king of Langya was awarded the title of King of Jin, and then ascended the throne for the Yuan Emperor.

Although the capital of Jin was built in Jiankang, the north has completely fallen into the hands of Hu. Even the area south of the Yangtze River is not completely dominated by the State of Jin. The situation in Shu, Jing and Jiang in the west and Guangzhou and Jiao in the south is not stable. It was not until Tao Kan and other important ministers guarded that the situation settled down.

For the successive emperors and auxiliary ministers in Jiangnan, the first ambition is to return to the Central Plains in the north and recover the land.

Huan Xuan's Northern Expedition is also showing his loyalty to the emperors and courtiers to protect the country, and also wants to establish a solid position in the court. However, what I didn't expect was that the emperor would not allow it.

Huan Xuan took the troops of Jing, Jiang and Guang Zhuzhou to go north. No matter how unfays the emperor is, he will not be blocked. How can we still issued an edict to prevent Huan Xuan from the Northern Expedition? This matter has been widely spread among the government and the opposition. Many people speculated that this was an imperial edict drawn up by Huan Xuan himself, but it was issued in the name of the emperor. The crime of correction can be punished. However, Huan Xuan threatened the emperor to order the princes. Who dares not say a word about his desire to cover up? If you are not careful, you may enter the dice of "pointing to a deer as a horse".

But this edict is of great importance. Although Huan Xuan forbids the government and the opposition from talking, the road points to each other, and there is no way to stop private accusations. No one will think that Huan Xuan will really go to the north, and why should Huan Xuan draw such a big tiger skin that he can't cover?

Although Huan Xuan took control of the military and politics of the Great Jin Kingdom, the Northern Expedition was not an easy thing for him. The heroes in the north rise together. Although they all come from states, counties and small countries, heroes emerge one after another. In the early years, Liu Cong, Shi Le, Murong Chui, Fu Jian and Yao Yizhong, there was no need to say; several people in the world, such as Yao Xing, Juqu Mengxun, Murong De, bald Tan, etc., were not idle people.
