Chapter 917
Yue Fei's battle report has been sent back, and now, the Jin army has completely ended all the wars in the states.After the war, the next step is to enter the stage of construction and cultivation.

However, although the battle report of Yue Fei's victory had been sent back, he himself and the army did not withdraw.Guangcheng Pass has been destroyed. When this pass is rebuilt, a strong army must be stationed to block the gap.

And when all the battles are over, the next step is to reward the generals who have made great achievements in this war.

First of all, Li Xiang himself, with the addition of the three titles of King of Jin, Prime Minister, and Grand Master, Li Xiang is actually no longer awarded, and if he is awarded upward, he will be the emperor.

Therefore, we can only reward some food, money and the like.Moreover, Li Xiang didn't care about these things. The so-called rewards were just rewards he gave to himself and his subordinates. The reason why he let Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty make the decree was just to legitimize the rewards through the hands of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty.

Of course, during this period, an interesting thing also happened. In the edict of rewarding Li Xiang, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty added two additional contents: granting nine tins and "to enter the court without going, and to walk on the sword".

Just kidding, Li Xiang would naturally not accept such blatant calculations and temptations.

"Nine tins" are "nine bestowments", which are nine kinds of ritual utensils bestowed by the emperor to his courtiers, and are the highest courtesy.According to the ancient book "Book of Rites", these nine things are: chariots and horses, clothes, pottery, Zhuhu, Nabi, bow and arrow, axe, huben, and Lexian. They each have different meanings.

The objects of the nine tins each have symbolic meanings, and are used by the emperor to commend ministers with noble morals, extraordinary abilities, and outstanding contributions.And the minister who got the nine tins not only has equipment similar to that of the emperor, but also has power similar to that of the emperor, and his status is equivalent to "deputy emperor".

The ancient overlords in the Spring and Autumn Period, such as Duke Huan of Qi met the princes in Kuiqiu, and the Emperor Zhou gave him bows, arrows, chariots and horses.Duke Wen of Jin defeated the state of Chu, and the emperor of Zhou gave him bows and arrows, chariots and horses, guns, and chanterelles.These things show that Zhou Tianzi recognized their overlord status, and represent the emperor's conquest of disobedience.

Wang Mang at the end of the Western Han Dynasty was the first person to accept Jiuxi, and Wang Mang eventually usurped the Han and proclaimed himself emperor.Wang Mang's Nine Tin Objects are slightly different from those recorded in the "Book of Rites", they are: chariots and horses, clothes, pots, Zhuhu, Nabi, bows, axes, axes, tigers, and chanterelles.The difference is that "Le County" has been replaced with "Gui-chan", and Gui-chan is an ancient wine vessel with a jade handle.

The nine tin objects that Cao Cao accepted are the same as those recorded in the "Book of Rites", but with the addition of Guizan, it is strictly counted as ten pieces. One piece, so it's still nine tins.

After the precedent of Wang Mang, when the imperial power declined, Jiuxi became a symbol of powerful ministers wanting to usurp power.

However, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty bestowed Jiuxi, but this thing is not so easy to pick up.If there is no intention of usurping the throne, or the conditions for usurping the throne are not met, then accepting Jiuxi will only do harm and not benefit.

Like Li Yan in the Shu Han Dynasty, he urged Zhuge Liang to accept Jiuxi, but Zhuge Liang, who was sober-minded, refused.He said righteously, it's not righteous for him to call on the thieves but he has not responded, and his confidant has not answered.If Wei Zhanrui is destroyed, the emperor returns to his former residence and ascends with the princes, although ten lives can be accepted, it will be worse than nine evils!
Now Li Xiang thinks that he does not have enough strength to fight against the world by himself, and he has not yet met the conditions to kick off Han Xiandi and be the master of his own house.And eat as much food as you want, and if you don't have enough strength, Li Xiang will naturally not do things that shouldn't be done.

As for the imperial decree of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty Liu Xie's imperial decree "to enter the court and not to go, to walk on the sword", if he, Li Xiang, accepts it, there is a lesson from Dong Fatzi. This is not a reason for the princes of the world to hold a third princes alliance conference !

After Li Xiang, it was the rewards of the generals who participated in the battle this time.

First of all, Bai Qi, in addition to the original governor of Yongzhou, was granted the title of General Zhennan and Marquis of Yangting.

The title system of the Eastern Han Dynasty consisted of kings, dukes, and marquises. Needless to say, the two levels of kings and dukes need not be said. To the sun of tomorrow.

Marquis are divided into Liehou and Guanneihou. Liehou has fiefdoms and food towns, which can be passed on to future generations, while Guanneihou has no such privileges.If it is further subdivided, Liehou can be divided into County Hou, Township Hou, and Ting Hou according to the size of the city, and confer meritorious and honorable officials with different ranks.

The highest level of reward this time is Tinghou. After all, there will be a lot of wars afterwards, leaving the two levels of County Marquis and Township Marquis can also avoid the situation where there is no seal for his subordinates in the future.In the feudal era, in many cases, if one day the opponent's generals were unsealable, then I am afraid that they will soon reach the point where the cunning rabbit will die.

Su Lie, in addition to the original governor of Liangzhou, was granted the title of General Anxi and Marquis of Ting.

Yue Fei, compared to the first two, he is a bit worse, although he is also the governor of a state, but he is in name only.At the same time, he was also inferior in title, and he was granted the title of Marquis of Guannei.

Guo Ziyi named him General Yingyang and Marquis of Ting.

Ma Kui was posthumously named General Fubo and Marquis of Xinting, and the title was inherited by his son.

Xing Tian, ​​named him the leading general, Marquis of Guannei.

Feng Yi, deputy governor of Yongzhou, general who conquered Shu, and Marquis of Guannei.

……

.......................................

The reward for Ma Kui was also decided by Li Xiang after careful consideration.The word "General Fubo" has a very special meaning to the Ma family. After naming Ma Kui as General Fubo, he has the idea of ​​further subduing the hearts of the generals of the Ma family.

And elevating Ma Kui's title to Ting Hou, who is at the same level as Bai Qi and Su Lie, is also to tell the generals under his command that as long as they make contributions, they will get no less than others. For the sake of it, it will definitely not be missing.

After all, at this stage, Li Xiang has quite a few surrendered generals, and a series of surrendered generals from Ma Teng's forces and Yang Jian's forces are now part of the important forces in Li Xiang's hands.Only by making these generals feel hopeful and see a rising channel can they be stimulated to work better for Li Xiang.

What's more, Zheng Lun and Chen Qi, who were sent over by Xue Rengui not long ago, have not yet agreed to serve Li Xiang because their family members are still in Yuan Shao's hands.

But this is not a problem for Li Xiang. This kind of thing can be redeemed through negotiation, or he can take the trouble to steal people out of the floating house.

Of course, there is one last way, which is to try to make Yuan Shao think that Zheng Lun and Chen Qi have rebelled and implicate his family.If all the family members died in the hands of Yuan Shao, even if it was just for revenge, Zheng Lun and Chen Qi would definitely choose to join Li Xiang.
