Chapter 81 Emperor

The imperial chariot of Emperor Dayan crossed the Bianhe River.

When we got closer to the capital, we saw swathes of dry land people coming to "welcome".

It seems inappropriate to say that we are happy to welcome Master Wang;

But to say that we hate him... is not that strong.

Firstly, the cold saber of the Jindong Jiashi in the city really shocked people's hearts.

Those who should have rebelled have already rebelled and been suppressed;

The bodies of those who should have been hanged to die for the country and to show their will were either cold or turned into ashes;

No one will invite or embarrass those who should stay at home and engage in non-violent non-cooperation.

The most important thing is that the regent's visit to Beijing this time was different from the last time, because Zhao Mugou chose to surrender. Although he himself suffered a great humiliation as the emperor, he was indeed saved. The land of Gyeonggi has never been baptized by another military disaster like it did back then.

Therefore,

Everyone has his own direction to choose, and fear of death is often the true state of all living beings.

The common people naturally cooperate when necessary. Anyway, they have been doing the same when facing officials for hundreds of years. Especially the common people in the capital are... familiar with these scenes.

The Emperor of Yan came, and

they also went out of the city to welcome him.

When the emperor's chariot passes by, he can kneel down and be led to shout "Long Live the Mountain" together.

Ji Chengjue’s eyes passed through the curtains of the Luanjia and swept across the numb and hesitant faces kneeling on both sides of the road. He was not immersed in the tide of "Long Live". among.

Spitting out the grape seeds in his mouth silently, Eunuch Wei reached out to take them;

Eunuch Zhang beside him picked up another piece of silk cloth and gently wiped the corners of His Majesty's mouth.

"It seems that the man named Zheng managed Shangjing well."

The emperor's perspective on things must be different from ordinary people. From the time he crossed the Bian River, he From observation, the former capital of the Qian Kingdom has now returned to full-scale operation. Although the efficiency is still very low, and although there are still certain flaws in the structure, it is indeed in operation.

As a conqueror, being able to achieve this in such a short period of time... is truly remarkable.

However,

Since he is Zheng Fan,

the emperor takes it for granted.

In fact,

The reason why King Jingnan protected the man surnamed Zheng time and time again,

Why did the father protect him time and time again under the influence of the feudal officials? The person named Zheng was promoted as a standard,

not only because the person named Zheng was good at fighting,

his ability to govern the local area was also extremely important.

In contrast, the Qiu Eighth Army leaders who had a higher official position than Zheng or were in the same batch were left far behind and out of sight.

Only from the overall perspective, from the perspective of operators and rulers, can we achieve better resultsClearly aware of how important a talent named Zheng is.

For the territory he has conquered, other garrison commanders have to provide blood transfusion support, but he can not only quickly achieve self-sufficiency and self-development, but also radiate his military influence as much as possible.

Don’t be too considerate;

In comparison, the so-called danger of raising tigers is not worth mentioning at all within a certain period of time.

When Luan Jia was about to enter the city gate, the formal welcoming team finally appeared.

"Let me guess, the man named Zheng will definitely not come to greet me personally. He will probably send his son."

Eunuch Wei, who just received the report from outside He immediately smiled and said:

"Master, you guessed wrong this time. The regent is right in front to meet you, master."

"Yo?"

"Straight mother-in-law, why do I have It feels like being flattered."

When Eunuch Wei and Eunuch Zhang heard this, they looked at each other and smiled, and they stepped forward to help His Majesty arrange his dragon robe.

"Meet the prince!"

"Meet the prince!"

Outside, the sound of greetings from the royal guards came.

There is only one person in the entire Dayan who does not need to report at all when meeting the saint.

No one dared to step forward to stop him and asked him to wait.

First, as people close to the emperor, they clearly knew the true friendship between their majesty and him;

Second, because no one dared to bear it, and no one could bear it. One consequence.

Just imagine,

One day the regent came to see the emperor, and

was stopped.

The guard said he wanted to make a report.

Next,

What will happen?

If the prince waits quietly, that's fine. But according to the prince's temper, if he doesn't plan to wait, but directly chooses to turn around and leave...

Big Yan's sky can collapse in half in an instant!

The curtain was opened from the outside,

“I said Ji Laoliu, you are a girl and you have to put on makeup before going out;

Today. The sun is so bright, I have been waiting for you outside for so long and you still haven't come out."

"Greetings to the Prince Regent, Prince Fukang!"

All the maids and eunuchs inside are kneeling. Kneel down,

Even the two grand dukes who had just helped His Majesty put on the dragon robe knelt down to salute.

Especially Eunuch Wei, he knelt down to a standard.

Eunuch Wei was really scared. He was a bitch back then, but he just made a joke, saying that compared to ordinary people, it would be his honor. After all, not everyone can be worthy of being given the eunuch's palm seal. "Appreciated".

But this master, since that day,

Almost every time we meet, the official position,His title and power have all increased significantly.

Right now,

First defeat Chu and then destroy Qian.

He indirectly participated in one of the three major national wars and directly commanded two.

His status can no longer include his merits.

Even if the King of Jingnan returns and the old King of the North is resurrected, in terms of merit ranking, this man will still be worthy of the title. Take the first seat.

"Hey, Eunuch Wei, you are well."

Warm greetings from the regent.

Wei Zhonghe’s heart immediately turned to countless Mr. Genjiao,

Oh my God,

How long will this master have to hold a grudge?

"My slave congratulates the prince for his great contribution to destroying the country!"

Eunuch Wei immediately responded with a smile on his face, blooming like a daisy.

Fortunately, the emperor spoke at this time and cursed:

"I said Zheng, why are you so anxious? I originally thought it was your son who picked up the car, but I didn't expect you." I will come in person."

"If my son comes, you won't come out, right?

Well,

It's good that I'm here. "

The emperor rolled his eyes at the prince and said:

"Let's go."

In the eyes of thousands of people, The regent in a python robe and the Emperor of Dayan in a dragon robe walked out of the car together. The regent rode Pixiu and the emperor rode a black and handsome BMW. The two entered the city side by side.

"Why didn't you ride Pixiu?" Zheng Fan asked.

"The number of Pixiu is not much, so why should I ride it? It's a waste.

By the way,

I almost forgot,

You are getting more and more courageous now, are you really not afraid of taking off your clothes this time?”

“I won’t take off my clothes for fun.” Zheng Fan shook his head, “If we are just talking about fighting, I will. I can’t think of anyone else I could lose to.”

“Tsk, tsk, listen, listen, you really know how to use a stick to climb up, your surname is Zheng, we have known each other for more than ten years, you are like this. Why are you getting thicker and thicker?"

"You will understand after you go into battle with a knife a few times."

"Oh?"

"Zheng Fan, do you think I'm an idiot?"

"A wise and powerful flatterer, I want to come to you." I’m tired of hearing that, I am the only one who can blow different winds here, cherish it.”

The two most noble people in Dayan laughed and cursed very naturally while walking;

The originally arranged and prepared ceremonies were all temporarily canceled with their respective waves.

The two of them,

are the biggest rules in the world today, and they are also the ones who make the rules.

"The next focus must be on suppressing the rebellion, right?" the emperor asked.

"No rush."

"What's the explanation?"

"We have already entered the rice vat., you don’t need to be greedy too much at once, it will not be beautiful if you burst your belly.

Shangjing was captured; the three sides were also captured; the southern half of the Yangtze River was also captured.

First put it into your mouth and slowly digest it;

Several generals under my command are currently fighting in various places, but they do not have enough troops, so it is difficult for them to make a big breakthrough. Well, why not just put it there first and maintain the situation.

Firstly, we need time to integrate ourselves now; secondly, we also give those Gan people who are unwilling to surrender to Dayan time to get on their way, so that they can all gather together, and then they can Once and for all. "

"There are still enough soldiers and horses. "The emperor said, "I brought a lot of soldiers and horses this time. ”

“But soldiers and horses are not used in this way. "

"Okay, I'll listen to you on military matters. "

"Well, there is one thing I haven't mentioned before, that is, to surrender troops, you must first gather them before they can be used, otherwise don't make mistakes on the battlefield. "

"I do have an idea about this. I will imitate your military system in eastern Shanxi and also establish a standard household system in dry land. In this way, you can divide and collect the loyalty of the dry army. "

Hearing this, Zheng Fan turned to look at Ji Chengjue.

"What, you are not happy that I copied your system? "

Zheng Fan shook his head and said: "I heard that you made Zu Zhuming Marquis of Donghai? "

"Yes. ”

“You are the emperor, and you stand on the emperor’s side. After Gandi was destroyed, I know that you can’t wait to turn Gan people into Yan people and become your people in an instant to achieve long-term peace and stability. .

But you are also a person who has been granted military honors and transplanted the standard household system.

Ji Laoliu,

You let those who work hard to open up territory for you What did the Dayan soldiers think?

Admittedly,

You have your reasons, and I also know that your approach is right from the overall perspective.

But after all, you are the emperor of Yan first, and then the emperor of Zhuxia.

One day, the Qian Land, Jin Land, and Chu Land may all rebel. At that time, only the Lao Yan people are really willing to fight for you to the end.

If you chill their hearts, is it possible that you will finally count on the people of Gan, Chu and Jin who have won their hearts to protect you, King Qin? ”

The emperor has the position of the emperor,

The regent has the position of the regent;

Zheng Fan is the well-deserved first person in the Yan army. Since there is With this status, you have to bear this responsibility, which is the most basic "moral coordination"

You have to fight for the interests of the group and class you represent.

The world is finally settled, but the war will not stop in a short time.

Now that you have broken the hearts of Soldier Yan, who will continue to be willing to sacrifice their lives for you in the future?

Chen Yang has the merit of defeating the capital, and because of the so-called "merits and faults balance out", he has not yet been granted the title of marquis.

As a result, a surrendered general was granted the title of marquis first?

"I know you are doing it for my own good." The emperor said.

Because Zheng Fan would never mention it if he had selfish motives. He could even directly add fuel to the flames and further divide the relationship between the court and the army.

"However, I have also considered these things. Zu Zhuming's marquis title is the result of my excitement. After all, the previous emperors of Yan Dynasty, especially my father, were stuck in my heart by these three sides. Decades.

I will ask Wei Zhonghe to give you a list later. It is the list of awards I have drawn up. You can add it to me before you get it to me. This time, Marquis, he is not prepared. "Little."

"Okay."

"Gandhi is such a good place. Mr. Zheng, what do you think of me moving the capital here?"

Ji Chengjue was thoughtful when he heard the words.

After the nominal unification of the Xia, it is foreseeable that the real threat to Dayan in the future will come from the desert.

Either a new barbarian king appears among the desert barbarians, or... the power of the West extends through the desert.

In comparison,

the natives, the Northern Qiang, the savages, and the Shanyue people are all minor threats. The real threat that may arise in the future is still in the west.

The emperor said: "I know the meaning of your words, but from the perspective of national governance, Shangjing can barely be regarded as the center of the Xia."

Geographically speaking , is also relatively central, and is the undisputed central area in terms of economy, culture, etc.

"Not necessarily."

"Not necessarily?"

"If there is a Western Expedition in the future, Dayan will be the center."

As soon as Zheng Fan said these words, Ji Chengjue was a little surprised and moved.

However,

he did not continue to ask about this topic,

but said:

"Then first It’s enough to accompany you immediately;

By the way,

The next thing is still the same old rules, you make the decision in military matters, and I will assist you in other aspects. ”

"Don't mention it, the war is over, I'm going to go home and lie down."

"If you don't sit in Beijing, who will? Could it be that I, the emperor, just live here?"

Besides, what kind of accident would happen if you were willing to hand over the fruits of your hard work to others?"

"My uncle is still here, he stabbed me this time? If you kill me, you have to go back to him to settle the score.

Here in Beijing, just arrange for a senior official who can take charge of the management and guarding.

The Northern Qiang and the natives can be recruited first. , Concentrate your efforts to eliminate the remnants of the Qian Kingdom, which is just a matter of time and not difficult."

"You recommend.Recommend someone. "

"Xu Wenzu. "

"Okay. ”

Perhaps it is difficult for outsiders to believe that in the process of entering the city in parallel, laughing and scolding, the emperor and prince of Dayan completed the arrangements for such a large country.

After entering the palace ,

The emperor is about to prepare for the court meeting

The last time, officials from the Qian Kingdom kowtowed to the regent in the main hall, which was a sign of bowing to the conquered party;

Emperor Dayan came to represent the rule of law and justice, and what needed to be done was to re-establish a true governance order in Shangjing and Daqian;

Also That is to say, last time, it was to save his life;

But this time,

it was to continue to be an official in the future.

Zheng Fan also had to do it. In preparation, the emperor summoned the officials of the Qian Kingdom. He, Zheng Fan, had to appease the surrendered generals of the Qian Kingdom, as well as the leaders of the Yan Army who came with the emperor.

He and Ji Laoliu were both civil and military. This is a tacit understanding.

"Your Majesty, this is the list of awards that your Majesty asked you to add. ”

Eunuch Zhang sent a yellow scroll.

Zheng Fan reached out to take it, nodded, then rode on Pixiu and left the palace.

Now that Ji Laoliu has moved into this palace, it is not suitable for him to stay here. However, he found a prince's mansion in Shangjing City as his temporary residence.

This mansion. It was the residence of the Xianguan family when he was a prince. It was later repaired and added to. Although it does not have the majesty of the imperial palace, it is absolutely exquisite and quiet.

After all, the official family of Qianguo, who is known as the Emperor Taishang Daojun, is. A master who knows how to enjoy.

The civil and military factions,

each went back to his own home, each looking for his own mother.

Zheng Fan rode Pixiu to his home. In front of the mansion, many generals' personal guards were waiting outside. When they saw the regent, they all knelt down and saluted.

Their chief general was already inside.

Zheng Fan rode Pixiu directly in, took out the reward decree and glanced at it,

Well,

just glanced at it

Because the top part is empty, a large seal can be added.

It is not unusual to have a blank seal, at least for the regent, who is a professional in making imperial edicts.

But this blank imperial edict means one thing, that is, the emperor has completely delegated power, allowing Zheng Fan to decide on his own military awards.

Even who will be a military honorary lord?

At this time, Zheng Lin followed the blind godfather out of the side yard and happened to see Pixiu sitting there. The father on his back.

I saw my father throwing a bright yellow imperial edict, and Zheng Lin reached out to catch it. ”

Father smiled twiceHe heard the sound and rode Pixiu straight into the front hall.

Zheng Lin was just about to open the imperial edict in his hand when he heard his godfather beside him say:

"No need to open it, it's blank."

"Huh?" Zheng Lin exclaimed first, and then said, "Oh."

My godfather does not need to open the envelope to read the letter, and the same is true for imperial edicts.

"As expected, it should be a reward decree, a reward for military merit." The blind man said.

"So, what the emperor means is to let my father decide on the reward on his own? Isn't this equivalent to completely decentralizing military power?"

"Yes." The blind man clicked. Nodding, "So what I have been telling you, this emperor is not simple. My godfather, I am still helping your father plan the division of the post-war territory. Who would have thought that he would be more direct and give more." "

"Isn't he afraid?"

"What is he afraid of? The more he gives, the more stable he is.

This is just like discussing the dowry before a young couple gets married.

As long as one party wants to take advantage of it, it will often end up in a mess. A hundred and a thousand are uncomfortable.

But if both parties are generous and don't want to take advantage, they will be willing to give more.

You want to take advantage of me, even if you take advantage of me. I feel sorry for the price of a penny. If you don’t want to take advantage of me, I’ll treat you generously and treat you to ten taels of wine. I won’t feel any pain in my heart.”

“Don’t worry, godfather. ”

Zheng Lin reached out and patted the back of the blind man’s hand.

The blind man took a deep breath, exhaled it slowly, and said with a smile:

"I'm not in a hurry. I have given up hope on your father since a long time ago. My hope lies in you.

The iron triangle between the late emperor and the two kings of the north and the south, and the relationship between your father and the emperor in this generation, are no longer possible.

Changed.

But who can guarantee that for the next generation?”

“Yes.” Zheng Lin responded, “Lin’er will not disappoint his godfather.”

"Lin'er is so good."

"For the sake of Lin'er being so good, then my godfather will help me deny the marriage to my ancestral family."

p>

"Don't even think about it."

"But I have promised to help my godfather to rebel if I have the chance."

"Yes, so the prince married a , If you don't marry, won't you suffer a loss? His ancestor Zhu Ming will definitely be in the guarding position of Gandi Fang."

Zheng Lin: "I..."

" It’s just a woman, why worry about it? Doesn’t your father also have four wives?”

“But my father stole them all, it’s not an arranged marriage.”

A blind man. He reached out, touched Zheng Lin's head, and said:

"Your father also took care of it."

"Oh, who can take care of him?"

"Your mother. ”

……

On this day,

Emperor Dayan accepted the kowtows of hundreds of officials in the main hall. Zhao Mugou walked forward on his knees again. He confessed to the Emperor of Dayan, saying that he was crowned as a monkey, and that the other party was the real destiny.

The emperor announced that Shangjing would be established as the capital of Dayan, imitating the structure of the Yanjing court, and establishing six departments.

On this day,

Prince Dayan accepted the salutes from the generals of Yan and Qian in the courtyard of the Prince's Mansion;

Ji Wujiang and his ancestors Zhu Ming congratulated the prince on behalf of the generals of Yan Qian, and once again confirmed that the regent was the unshakable position of the real number one in the Yan army.

The prince conferred the title of Jinshu in public. Ke, Chen Yang and other generals with outstanding military achievements were awarded the title of Marquis of Military Merit.

Tiantian was also granted the title of uncle. He was the eldest son of Prince Jingnan. Being granted the title of uncle meant that he was following the same path as Ji Wujiang and was very tolerant.

Zheng Man was also granted the title of uncle. < /p>

In fact, his military exploits are not enough, his qualifications are not enough, and he does not have Tiantian’s background.

But as the well-deserved number one in the Yan army,

The Regent It is necessary to forcibly praise an unqualified person to force him to be qualified to show the "nepotism" of the regent!

Everything has two sides. Excessive nepotism will lead to the collapse of the organizational structure, but moderate nepotism will also help. Strengthen cohesion,

Otherwise,

Who will continue to hang out with you?

Two people are missing from the canonization list.

One was Liang Cheng, who was undoubtedly the number one contributor in the battle to destroy the Qian dynasty, and the other was Gou Moli, who had perfectly completed the supporting and supporting tasks in the two battles to destroy the country.

Liang Cheng was too lazy to accept it. People have long looked down on the new official title. Besides, Zheng Fan's soldiers are Liang Cheng's soldiers. What else does he want?

As for Gou Moli, he took the initiative to not want it? When they were conferred, they said with a shy face that they were all members of the family, and they were given titles and official positions.

The dream of being a little kid is not to be promoted to a title, but to squeeze in among the "gentlemen".

In short,

Everything is spiraling for the better.

The reason for the spiral is that

Zhao Yuannian is making progress. Before going to Beijing to accept the title of state, he wanted to show off in Jiangnan, so he ignored Jin Shuke's objections and forcibly organized an army to develop the territory in Jiangnan.

But the people under his command were completely rabble-rous. Even the rebels organized by the people in the Jiangnan area were unable to defeat him. Instead, they were defeated in a somewhat embarrassing manner.

Fortunately, Jinshu appeared in time and led his troops to save him, and finally defeated the rebels. , otherwise Zhao Yuannian would be in great disgrace.

But despite this,

After Zhao Yuannian came to Beijing and became the emperor, he was still canonized as Prince Qian;

p>

As for Zhao Mugou,

after going back and forth, he was canonized as Prince Rui again.

The curse of Prince Rui’s Mansion will continue to last as expected.

In addition,

The emperor conferred the title of Taiwei on Xu Wenzu and supervised the capital.

It is said that before Xu Wenzu entered the capital, he cried bitterly for a long time in front of the willow tree planted by the previous prince;

After being granted the title of Taiwei, he ran to the willow tree again. He cried for half the night, but this time he brought wine and stayed with the willow tree, telling the story between him and the Regent;

He said that he and the Regent were like old friends since they met early. , as a confidant;

He said that he had defected to the Liuye Party early that year, and His Majesty was indeed a wise king through the ages.

What Xu Wenzu will probably never know is that, in front of the Zhenbei Hou Mansion, Shatuo Queshi deliberately punched the car that Xu Wenzu was supposed to be hiding. The carriage was ordered by his confidant Zheng Fan;

At that time, he was inexplicably abducted into a red tent and detained for many days. In the end, he had to ride two horses to death before he could run back to the tiger in embarrassment and difficulty. Toucheng is a gift from the Mingjun of today.

After everything is arranged,

the regent will go south along the Qianjiang River, take the old road, pass through the Xie family's territory, and then turn back to the east of Shanxi.

A gentleman’s revenge is never too late in ten years; a prince’s revenge is tonight.

How could Zheng Fan go home and enjoy the hot springs with peace of mind if he didn't retaliate against his brother-in-law for stabbing him in the back?

Although the dry land has not been completely restored, the core area is basically in the hands of the Yan people, and the resistance forces scattered here and there in the dry land cannot become a big trend at all.

After the Qian Kingdom was solved, under the general situation, what room for improvement could the Chu Kingdom, which was already half crippled, have?

And the emperor,

will also return north to Yanjing.

"The Beast Control Supervisor has newly bred four brave animals. How about one of your three cubs is allocated to each of you?"

"Why is the Beast Control Supervisor suddenly so productive? "?"

Pixiu is difficult to cultivate. After all, it is not a brave beast.

"The Beast Control Supervisor has developed a new method to extract soul blood from the soul of the old Pixiu in the palace, and the success rate has been greatly improved."

"Four Heads It’s too few. I’ll reserve eighteen for my personal protection, so that I can have enough time to go out.”

“Dream!”

“Oh, Businessmen are stingy by nature."

"When I return to Beijing, I will build the Lingyun Pavilion you mentioned and give me the first place."

" I said, if you are really sincere, please make room for me in your ancestral temple."

"Shit, would your surname Zheng allow me to enter your ancestral grave?"

"Come on, I'll leave a space for you."

The emperor was stunned for a moment, then cursed:

"Bitch!"

Sit down The prince on the back of Pixiu, waved his hands and said:

"Goodbye, beast."

......

The emperor returned to his carriage. Inside.

The team also headed north.

After crossing the Bian River,

I was holding tea to serve Eunuch Wei who was reviewing the papers. He silently put down the tea and took a step forward.

At this moment,

A plump woman in white came in, knelt down and saluted.

Behind the woman, stood a red-robed eunuch, who seemed to be accompanying her, but also seemed to be guarding her. The young eunuch at the time was no longer young now.

The emperor put down the pen in his hand and asked while squeezing his slightly sore wrist:

"You are not cultivating Pixiu for me in the Beast Control Prison, why do you have to come all the way here?" What to do?"

A smile appeared on the corner of the woman's mouth, and in an instant, the wind and beauty flowed out, which was enough to brighten the spring scenery.

"Your Majesty,

The brave spirit appeared in front of the girl and told her a way."

"Oh, a way? This way, Can we cultivate more Pixiu?"

The woman in white shook her head,

All the charm and charm on her face disappeared at this moment,

Then,

What she said,

made the atmosphere inside Luan Jia

instantly drop to the terrifying freezing point:

“One,< /p>

The regent can take a natural approach. ”
