Chapter 172 Diao Dang (6000 Monthly Pass)
(The previous chapter is wrong. The Zhongchangshi and the Dianshi are both thousands of stones, which have been changed)
...
The official office of the Dianfu State is located on the north street of Chang'an City, adjacent to the barbarian residence, so that they can be managed.
On this day, Chang Hui, who had been promoted to Guanglu Doctor, came with a young man wearing a Jinxian crown and a black official cloth robe riding a red horse. It was Ren Hong.
After Ren Hong handed the horse to the stable order, he touched the black ribbon and copper seal hanging on his waist, followed Chang Hui and walked into the official office. It was an ordinary small courtyard. Among the nine ministers in Chang'an, the vassal state was a very small one, and there were not many officials.
When Chang Hui went to hand over his position, Ren Hong understood that this "Dict vassal state chief" was his own official, not a big one, just a thousand stones. Although he was a marquis, the court could not promote a 21-year-old young man with no political experience to a high position of a minister. He still asked him to do familiar affairs in the vassal state, which was also considered a professional specialty.
As for the "Zhongchangshi", it is an additional name attached to the original official, including officials, officials, officials, officials, officials, officials, and ministers. With this additional official position, he is qualified to go to and from the palace, accompany the emperor, consultants to deal with it, and participate in political affairs. He is considered to have entered the small circle of decision-making in the internal dynasty. During the Eastern Han Dynasty, this position was mostly eunuch, but in the Western Han Dynasty, he was still an additional official for scholars.
Today, Ren Hong does not have to be in the forbidden area, so the "silver left marten" added to the hat of the Central Constable does not have to be worn.
The two of them first met Su Wu in the office hall of the Dianfu State. Su Wu, who was completely white in hair, was lying in front of the case and watching the list of new barbarian states in the Western Regions handed over by Jiuyi Ling.
Seeing Ren Hong coming, Su Wu smiled: "When the Marquis of Xi'an comes, I have lost one arm, but I have added another arm."
So he asked Chang Hui to take him to hand over his post.
Although Chang Hui thought Ren Hong would be a qualified deputy to the vassal state, after working here for many years, he was still a little reluctant and just whispered to Ren Hong:
"Marquis of Xi'an..."
"Jun Chang asked me to do it all."
Chang Hui was able to be Uncle Ren Hong at the age of age, so he followed the good deeds: "The way is long. After returning from the Huns, Mr. Su's temperament was different from when he was young, and he didn't like to talk much. But when he was alone, he talked to himself. This was even more so after his son died a few years ago. Don't think it's strange."
Ren Hong knew that if he wanted to change him, he would stay by Lake Baikal for 19 years. Most of the time he could only talk to the flags and sheep in his hands, and his temperament would change drastically.
So it is rare that Su Wu stood up at the court meeting to say so much to Fu Jiezi and himself. Although this old man talked little, he was like a Dinghai Shen Needle.
Then Chang Hui took Ren Hong to the next room and introduced him to the officials in charge of different areas.
"The dictionary state is divided into two left and right Cao Cao. The left Cao is in charge of the barbarian surrender, that is, the Anding vassal state, the Tianshui vassal state, the Xihe vassal state, the Shangjun vassal state, the Wuyuan vassal state, and the Zhangye vassal state."
"The tribal residents of the country are either Qiang or Hu, and there are also Xiaoyuezhi. They have appointed the captain of the vassal state to be in charge of the Qianghou and Huhou. When encountering border wars, they will also recruit barbarian soldiers from the vassal state to participate in the war."
It is equivalent to the autonomous region in later generations.
These vassal states were the more than 100,000 surrendered Xiongnu people during the reign of Emperor Wu of Han, and they were ruled according to their customs. Now they have become a knife for the Han Dynasty to attack the Xiongnu and have made great contributions in the Han-Hungary War. Of course, there are also those who disobeyed and rebeled and returned to the Xiongnu.
Chang Hui also introduced another old official with gray hair: "The chief official of the right Cao and the assistant minister Zhao Zhonggen, like me and Mr. Su, he was stranded in the Huns back then. The right Cao was in charge of the barbarians of Guiyi and divided several officials."
"I have met the Marquis of Xi'an." Zhao Zhonggen has the position of Minister of the Secretariat, and he is expected to take over Chang Hui's position, but Ren Hong emerged halfway. However, Ren Hong is worthy of his merits and qualifications to deal with the barbarians in the Western Regions. Zhao Zhonggen is not convinced. Just throwing Ren Hong's name out can scare the envoys of the barbarian residence next door to fear.
Chang Hui pointed to a young man with anticipation and said, "The one who controls the tributes and sends protons in the Western Regions, and Wen Zhong is the one who is in charge of the trade. Your subordinate Lu Jiushe becomes his translator."
Wen Zhong probably also had the ambition to make contributions in foreign countries, so he bowed respectfully to Ren Hong: "I have heard of the reputation of the Marquis of Xi'an for a long time!"
Who can be more familiar with the affairs of the Western Regions than Ren Hong? There is no need to introduce them too much.
The next one is a short southerner: "The one who controls the southwest Yi is Zhang Kuang, who is a Shu County native."
Zhang Kuang was indeed full of Shu accent and spoke very fast. Fortunately, Ren Hong often listened to Mr. Xia, otherwise he would not understand.
"The southwest Yi surrendered from the time of Xiaowu, and now it has been decades. At first, the southwest Yi kings were a hundred, and Yelang, and Dian received the king's seal, which belonged to the Jiguan County and Yizhou County. A few years ago, the barbarians of Yizhou County rebelled, and the southern Jucheng assisted the Han Dynasty to defeat it. Therefore, the emperor also granted the king's seal. In addition to the three kings, there was also the Kunming tribe west of the Dian Kingdom, and the rebellion was undecided."
Ren Hong nodded and wrote down. When he arrived at the last person, his appearance was not much the same as the Han people, but he was not like the Huns, Qiang and Hu.
"This is Lu Jia, who is in charge of the tribute of Dongyi. He is the eldest son of Wenyang Hou Lu."
Fortunately, Ren Hongqian had just read the Records of the Grand Historian some time, and read the "Biography of North Korea" carefully twice, otherwise he would not remember who the number of Wen Yanghou was.
At that time, Emperor Wu of Han sent the left general Xun Ji and the Lou Chuan General Yang Pu to lead the navy and army armies to attack the Wei Dynasty. He originally wanted to use his qi to weigh zhu and take down the small North Korea as effortless.
Unexpectedly, the navy and army of the Han Dynasty were full of conflicts and felt that each other was a fool. Xun, Ji and Yang Pu competed for merit, but they did not inform the other party in advance in the battle, but they fought for a long time.
Finally, the shocking drama of Xun Li's correction and the navy was staged.
This is a big deal? Will you just join troops and rebel alone in the future?
Although Korea was destroyed afterwards, Emperor Wu of Han was furious and demoted Xun Ji and Yang Pu to a commoner.
However, the North Korean leader party who voluntarily surrendered four marquises, Lu was one of them. However, he committed crimes and seized titles shortly after he arrived in the Han Dynasty, and his son Lu Jia could only start from the middle-level minor officials.
Lu Jia looked at Ren Hong's hot new king with envy, and lowered his head and said, "After the fall of Korea, the area was four counties: Lelang, Xuantu, Zhenfan, and Lintun. Without North Korea's obstacles, the surrounding small countries were able to pay tribute to the Han Dynasty. There were Fuyu in the north, Yiluo, Woju in the east, and Three Han in the south."
Ren Hongyi had seen everyone, but had a question: "Is there no Wuhuan among the Guanglu Dafu, among the barbarians of Guiyi?"
"The Wuhuan is a little special."
Chang Hui said helplessly: "In that year, Emperor Xiaowu sent the General of Cavalry to defeat the left land of the Xiongnu, and then moved Wuhuan to the five counties of Shanggu, Yuyang, Youbeiping, Liaoxi, and Liaodong to detect the movements of the Xiongnu. Once the emperor saw him every year, he set up a lieutenant to protect the Wuhuan, with a rank of 2,000 stones, and was in charge of the Jieguan, so that he could not communicate with the Xiongnu."
"Originally, the captain of the Wuhuan should have negotiated with the Dian vassal state and the Great Honglu, but after the Liao general defeated the Wuhuan year, he directly took charge of the Wuhuan affairs, and the Dian vassal state could not get involved."
Ren Hong nodded. Different institutions in the Han Dynasty competed with each other, and it was common for them to invade positions. In the past few years, the barbarians in Yizhou County rebelled, and the former Dahonglu Tian Guangming was the leader to defeat him. The Dianfu State could only play an embarrassing role.
This is also what Chang Hui is most worried about: "The way is long. Do you know that the Great Honglu have been competing for the jurisdiction of surrendering barbarians to pay tribute to the court in recent years?"
Since the reign of Emperor Wu of Han, the two institutions have had many troubles about whom the states that came from afar to surrender to the Han Dynasty, and their powers have also swayed between the two institutions, one for the Great Honglu, and the other for the vassal states, without a fixed number.
"Wei Xian of the Great Honglu recently wrote letters, using allusions in the Zhou Li, which shows that the predecessor of the Great Honglu, Da Ren, was in charge of the rituals of the guests from all directions, and advocated the restoration of the ancient system, and also assigned the affairs of daily commuters to the Great Honglu."
And Liao General Fan Mingyou also supported this proposal very much.
It is easy to think about it. If the power of communication between Guiyi barbarians is taken away, the power of the Dian vassal state will be cut off halfway. It is a trivial matter for many officials to change jobs and lose their jobs. The great masters who are the Confucian scholars will manage diplomacy, but they still don’t know what tricks they will do.
In history, the more the vassal states develop, the less real power it has, and finally merged into the Great Honglu.
Now facing the survival of the organization, Ren Hongxin takes office and has to make some noise.
Ren Hong had his own idea: "It's not to be hiding Chang Jun. In fact, since I received the appointment, I have an idea. Today, I want to discuss with Mr. Su and Mr. Chang Jun."
"Daoyuan, please speak."
Ren Hongxiao said: "The Wuhuan small part on the left side has a captain who protects Wuhuan, with a rank of 2,000 stones. The Western Regions are so vast that since the Battle of Kucha and Quli, the situation has been very good. There are only 20 to 30 envoys from the north and south roads who send tribute to the tribute, which is more than the Southwest and East Wild Wilds."
"In addition, the Western Regions are exposed to the right king's troops, and the situation is complicated. Only three military camp lieutenants with a size of 1,000 stones are set up to be stationed in Quli and Luntai. It is probably not enough. If no one coordinates, it will be easily defeated by each one. The Yumen Commander is also out of reach. In my opinion, it is time to set up a top military and political chief who can coordinate the north and south roads of the Western Regions!"
Ren Hong drew out the draft memorial he had prepared: "It can be called the 'Protector of the Western Regions'!"
...
On September 20th, it was time for Changchao again. Ren Hongxin entered the Weiyang Palace for the first time after taking office. This time he added a silver marten tail to his hat, which was very grand, attracting the attention of Yang Yun, the cavalryman who was responsible for attracting all officials.
"Yo, let Diao Dang."
This title almost made Ren Hong curse, you are the eunuch!
But nowadays, the General is still a scholar, so Yang Yun didn't think there was anything wrong with the title, so he just whispered to Ren Hong: "Last time, Dao was far away in the studio, I missed it. When the General enters Chengming Palace, pay attention to his steps."
"pace?"
"Yes, I have been observing for a long time. Every time the general enters and leaves the hall gate, he is hundreds of feet away. He steps in the same position every day. In front of the hall, he must be stepping on the center of the big stone bricks on the ground. When he enters the hall, he will be separated by three wooden slats each step, and there will be a constant place to go. Finally, he will walk in front of the hall, and there will be a total of ninety-nine steps, without losing his size!"
"Take it seriously?" Ren Hong's curiosity was aroused. When General Huo Guang entered the hall and the ministers bowed silently, Ren Hong's eyes moved with Huo Guang's feet.
Huo Guang was short and his footsteps were not big. As Yang Yun said, each step had a fixed distance, and his pace was very fast, without hesitation, Ren Hong counted without blinking.
“Ninety-seven, ninety-eight, ninety-nine!”
Huo Guang's steps stopped. He had already stood in front of the palace and turned around.
It’s really a hundred steps, every step is in a fixed position without losing its size!
Yang Yun's evaluation of Huo Guang was "this is so good by nature", while Ren Hong felt a secretly cold in his heart. While sighing that Huo Guang was so terrible, he also had such thoughts.
"General Virgo, please."
"This obsessive-compulsive disorder is so serious!"
