Jia Xu knew exactly what Zhang Ji was looking for Jia Xu.

So Jia Xu didn't find it strange at all when facing Zhang Ji's problem.

"Wenhe, if Guo Zifeng was granted a title, would his status be higher than ours?"

Zhang Ji asked this.

Jia Xu nodded decisively.

"That's natural. According to the rules of the pre-Qin period, the duke was above the marquis, and the general was the county marquis, and was under Guo Zifeng. Guo Zifeng was only under the Liu kings, not under the marquis."

"But I am the general of the cavalry of the imperial court, and Guo Zifeng is just the general of the Northern Expedition, and my position is still above him."

Zhang Ji was a little dissatisfied.

"After that being said, in terms of titles, only Guo Zifeng has been granted the title of Duke. Except for Guo Zifeng, no one who is not Liu's title will be higher than him. Isn't the general clear?"

Jia Xu looked at Zhang Ji strangely.

"That's right, but Guo Zifeng's position is also going to be promoted, right?"

"That's natural. Title is title, and official position is official position. Guo Zifeng quenched the rebellion of the pseudo-Chen Yuanshu, beheaded and displayed in public, and maintained the orthodox Han Dynasty. This is of great significance. If the reward is not heavy, the court's reputation will not exist, and we will also face danger, so we must reward it anyway."

Jia Xu whispered: "Your Majesty is hesitating, but I have drafted an edict for Your Majesty and stamped the seal. By the way, Guo Zifeng also returned the seized jade seal to the court. I don't know how Yuan Benchu ​​got it. Now that the seals are complete, His Majesty can't say it."

Zhang Ji did not object to this point, because it was their established strategy to undermine Liu Xie and do things in the name of Liu Xie, and the three of them were tacit about it.

Whenever there is something big to do, they will discuss it with each other and then notify Liu Xie, which is a formality.

Zhang Ji didn't think there was anything wrong with him before, but this time Zhang Ji felt something was wrong with him.

"We are so generous in asking Guo Zifeng for credit, please him, and curry favor with him. Judging from his expression, but the emperor is clearly in our hands, why can't we get some benefits for ourselves?"

Jia Xu looked at Zhang Ji.

"What other benefits can we achieve besides Guanzhong and Guanxi?"

"Of course I know this."

Zhang Ji looked around, lowered his throat and looked at Jia Xu: "I mean, can't we be the one who can be named a Duke in Guo Zifeng?"

Jia Xu was shocked.

"I was just kidding before, why did the general take it seriously? Only Guo Zifeng has such great contributions to being appointed as the Duke. This is a real military contribution. It is true and cannot be fake. Everyone in the world sees it! We don't have such great contributions!

Moreover, the appointment of Guo Zifeng as the public can make him the target of public criticism, make him have no time to care about others, and make him unable to distract himself from doing other things. It is also good for us, but if we do this ourselves, what's the point?"

Zhang Ji thought for a while, then looked at Jia Xu.

"Wenhe, haven't you said before that as long as everyone is enthroned, it will be fine, right?"

"Everyone...I'm a joke too!"

Jia Xu pretended to be angry: "How can the general think so? If all the princes were granted a Duke, would the Liu surname be granted a king? Once a priest country is established, will the world really return to the pre-Qin period?"

"What's wrong with that?"

Zhang Ji looked at Jia Xu with a look of a fool: "Isn't it like this now if you don't seal it? The courts in those places now can get in hand? Is it taxed? Wenhe, don't you understand? The world has become like this, but it's just a lack of status."

When he said this, Zhang Ji looked indifferent.

Indeed, what he said makes sense. The world has indeed been divided and everyone does its own way. The imperial court's government orders cannot control the local area. Local powerful factions are seeking benefits for themselves and ignoring the imperial edicts.

It's true that one name is missing.

But this is the title that stumped the heroes of the world.

Without a title, you just can’t do anything, you just have a bad reputation, you’re just a thief!

It's that serious.

The 400th year of the Han Dynasty not only left hunger for the world, but also left a lot of rules.

Although the Han Dynasty has declined, the rules are still operating on their strong inertia and are not so easy to break.

If the rules were so easy to break, there would be no such statement as Han inheriting the Qin system.

The dynasty has been destroyed, and the rules are still there. Rules are the soul of the dynasty and the criterion in the hearts of a generation.

If you want to destroy it, you either wait for the passage of time, the old generation will die, the new generation will change, or force it to abandon it, or turn the table up, or fight back against the interest groups and play with reform.

The Han Dynasty was completely impressed, but since the pre-Qin period abandoned the feudal system, the county system became the mainstream. Although the Han Dynasty still had such feudal states, it was no longer a vassal state that had real power in the early Han Dynasty.

At this time, playing the feudal system is to reverse history and to apologize to the people of the whole country.

But it was in this era and in this great division that the real powers needed to look forward to the stars and the moon.

Once this title is available, they will be able to fly with the vast sea and the fish leaps high and the birds fly. How disagree with the scholars who can take the central route, the real powers all agree with it.

This is the meaning of eliminating the existence of the Han Dynasty from the soul. If this is done, the Han Emperor will become the real Zhou Emperor, and the meaning of the existence of the Han Dynasty for four hundred years will become a symbol.

The world will usher in a real division.

From the soul to the body, the all-round division is enough to re-create the true division of the Warring States Hegemony, rather than the current physical division, where the soul is still tied.

The significance of the existence of the Han emperor is very small, and it will never be the star of hope in the eyes of some scholars who insist on taking the central route, which can bring the times back to the scholars to control the world.

This is something that Zhang Ji could not see, this is something that Jia Xu saw through Yan Rou, Guo Peng.

Guo Peng wanted to let the Han Dynasty completely split the Han Empire in fact, so that the old and young people would not have time to summon souls for the Han Dynasty and would be forced to face a great struggle.

They must really move from the central government to the local government, have to give up the meaningless central government, and move towards the local government that actually becomes a small central government, and do their best to safeguard their interests.

There is no time to care about the Han Dynasty.

This made Jia Xu tremble. He never thought that Guo Peng's ambitions and desires were so terrible.

But he will become the most important trader among them.

It is impossible for people who have not received a true higher elite education to understand all this.

Only those who have received the true elite education of this era and understand the essence of power and status can understand what the operations behind this series mean and what results will be brought about.

Jia Wenhe was talented and understood all this after enlightenment, but it was impossible for Zhang Ji, a rough man, to know.

Duan Wei may not know.

He claimed to be studying every day, but without the guidance of a famous teacher, and without the famous teacher telling him the essence of power with all his heart, he would not understand this truth.

They only see the surface of power, but do not understand what power is, what is the basis of power, and what kind of checks and balances does the great name have on power.

The warlords of Xiliang don’t understand these things. The warlords of Xiliang want the best, highest, and best.

As for the consequences.

They took it for granted that there was no consequence, and everyone got what they wanted and continued to maintain balance.

No one will tell them what this means, Jia Xu is impossible, and others are even more impossible.

So Jia Xu knew that his advice would only have a counterproductive effect.

Therefore, Jia Xu firmly opposed it.
