Chapter 1020 Emperor


Chapter 1020 The Emperor

The imperial chariot of Emperor Dayan crossed the Bian River.

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

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

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

First, because the cold sabers of the Jindong warriors 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 and sacrificed for their country have either become cold or turned into ashes;

For those who should stay at home and engage in non-violent non-cooperation, no one would invite or embarrass them.

The most important thing is that the regent's visit to the capital 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 did save the capital. The land has never been baptized by another military disaster like that year.

Therefore,

Everyone has a direction that he can 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,

They also went out of the city to welcome him.

When the emperor's chariot passed by, he could kneel down and be led to shout "Long live the mountain" together.

Ji Chengjue's eyes, through the curtains of the Luanjia, swept across the numb and hesitant faces kneeling on both sides of the road, not immersed in the wave of "Long Live". middle.

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 and gently wiped the corners of His Majesty's mouth.

“It seems that the man named Zheng has managed Shangjing well.”

The emperor's perspective on things must be different from that of ordinary people. Ever since he crossed the Bian River, he has been observing that the former capital of the Qian Kingdom has now resumed its systematic operation, although the efficiency is still very low, although the structure There are still some flaws, but it is indeed working.

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 named Zheng again and again

Why did the father promote the man named Zheng again and again based on the standards of feudal officials? ,

Not only because the man named Zheng can fight,

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

In contrast, the leaders of the Qiu Eighth Army who had a higher official position than Zheng or were in the same batch were left far behind and could not be seen at all.

Only from the overall perspective, from the perspective of managers and rulers, can we more clearly perceive how important a talent named Zheng is.

For the territory he has acquired, other garrison commanders have to support him with blood transfusions, 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.

Just as 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 had just received the report from outside, immediately laughed. Said:

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

"Yo?"

Emperor Ji Chengjue of Great Yan was stunned for a moment when he heard this. Then he propped himself up and stood up. At the same time, he laughed at himself:

"Straight mother-in-law, why do I feel so flattered?" Feeling."

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

“Meet the prince!”

“Meet the prince!”

Outside, the sound of greetings from the imperial guards could be heard.

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 know the true friendship between their majesty and him;

Second, because no one dares to bear it, and no one can bear the consequences. .

Just imagine,

one day the regent came to see the emperor,

and was stopped,

the guard said he wanted to report,

next,< br>


What will happen?

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

Dayan's The 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;

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

"Meet the Prince Regent, Prince Fukang! ”

All the palace maids and eunuchs inside knelt down,

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

especially It's Eunuch Wei, he kneels so well

Eunuch Wei was really scared. He was a bitch back then, but he just made a joke, saying that compared to ordinary people, it was his honor. After all, not everyone is worthy of being "appreciated" by the eunuch with the palm seal.

But this master, since that day,

almost every time we meet, his official position, title, and power have been greatly improved.

Now,

break Chu first, then destroy Qian,

In the three major national wars, he indirectly participated in one 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 deserve to be at the top. .

"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 to come in person."

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

Oh,

Fortunately, I'm here."

The emperor rolled his eyes at the prince and said:

“Let’s walk.”

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

“Why didn’t you ride Pixiu out?” Zheng Fan asked.

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

By the way,

I almost forgot,

You guys are getting more and more courageous now. Now that you are old, you are really not afraid of taking it off for fun?”

“I won’t take it off for fun.” Zheng Fan shook his head, “If we just talk about fighting now, I can’t think of anyone else I could lose to.”


"Tsk, tsk, listen, listen, you really know how to use a stick to praise yourself. Zheng, we have known each other for more than ten years. Why are you getting thicker and thicker?"

"Wait until you personally go into battle with a sword and kill a few people. "I understand now." Crazy? ”

"I guess you're tired of hearing the flattery of wise men and powerful warriors. Only here I can blow a different wind. Cherish it."

The two most noble people in Dayan are extremely natural while walking. They laughed and cursed;

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 are already in the rice vat, so we don’t need to be greedy for too much at once. Beautiful.

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 digest it slowly;

Several generals under my command are currently fighting in various places. However, they are not strong enough and it is difficult to make a big breakthrough. It is better to leave it there first. , maintain a 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 we can settle down 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 about military matters."

"Well, there is one thing I didn't say before, that is, even if you want to surrender troops, you have to gather them first before they can be used, otherwise they won't be used on the battlefield. Something went wrong.”

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

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

“What, you don’t want me to copy 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 and do what you want." After the earth is destroyed, I know you hate Don't let the Gan people become Yan people and become your people in an instant to achieve long-term peace and stability.

But he is also a person who has been awarded the title of military merit and transplanted the standard household system.

Ji Laoliu. ,

How do you make those Dayan soldiers who worked so hard to open up the territory for you feel?

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 Laoyan people are really willing to fight for you to the end.

If you chill their hearts, is it possible that in the end you are counting on the people of Gan, Chu and Jin, whose hearts you have won over, to protect you as 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 he has 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.

Of course, Zheng Fan's reminder was not purely out of the narrow internal interests of the military group, because what he said was indeed the truth.

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

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

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, have been stuck in my heart by these three sides. Ten years.

I will ask Wei Zhonghe to give you a list later, which is the list of awards I have drawn up. You can give it to me after you add it. This time, the Marquis has prepared a lot."

"Okay. .”

"Gandhi, it's such a good place. Mr. Zheng, what do you think if I move the capital here?"

"The emperor guards the gate of the country."

Ji Chengjue heard this, if there is any Thoughts.

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 again 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 is barely the center of the Xia."

In terms of geographical location, it is also The central area 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,

Instead, he said:

"Then let's just stay together for now;

By the way,

the next thing is still the same as the old rules, you make the decision in military matters. , I will help with the rest."

"Don't worry, the battle is over, I'm going to go home and lie down."

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

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

“My uncle is still here. He stabbed me this time. We have to go back to him to settle the score.

Go to Beijing and arrange for a senior official to manage and guard the country.

The Northern Qiang and native people can be recruited first and concentrate their efforts on clearing the Qian Kingdom. The rest is just water grinding, it’s not that difficult.”

"Please recommend someone."

"Xu Wenzu."

"Okay."

Perhaps it is difficult for outsiders to believe that while they were laughing and scolding each other as they entered the city, Dayan The emperor and princes completed the arrangements for such a large country.

After entering the palace,

The emperor is about to prepare for the imperial meeting.

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

But this time,

Emperor Dayan represented With the legal system and justice coming, what needs to be done is to re-establish the real governance order in Shangjing and Daqian;

In other words, last time, the big guys were trying to save their lives;

But this time,

it was so that I could continue to be an official in the future.

Zheng Fan also had to prepare. The emperor summoned officials from the state of Qian. Zheng Fan had to appease the surrendered generals of the state of Qian, as well as the leaders of the Yan army who came with the emperor.

Both civil and military, he and Ji Laoliu each have the same responsibility. 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 roll.

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

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

This mansion was the residence of the Xianguan family when they were princes. It has been repaired and expanded several times. Although it does not have the majesty of the palace, it is absolutely exquisite and quiet.

After all, the Qianguo official who is known as the Supreme Daojun Emperor is a master who knows how to enjoy himself.

The two factions, civil and military,

each went back to their respective homes, each looking for their own mother.

Zheng Fan rode Pixiu to his mansion. Outside, many personal guards of various generals were waiting. When they saw the regent, they all knelt down and saluted.

Their commander is already inside.

Zheng Fan rode Pixiu and went straight in. He took out the reward decree and glanced at it,

Well,

just took a glance.

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

It is not unusual for imperial edicts to be printed in blank, at least for the regent, who is a professional in creating imperial edicts.

But this blank imperial edict means one thing, that is, the emperor completely delegates power and allows Zheng Fan to decide the rewards in the army.

Even Zheng Fan decided who should be a military meritorious prince. After all, the emperor hinted at this when he entered the city.

At this time, Zheng Lin followed the blind godfather out of the side yard and happened to see his father sitting on Pi Xiu's back.

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

“Haha.”

Father laughed twice 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 said, “Hey?” He said, "Oh."

My godfather really doesn't need to open the envelope to read the letter, and the same goes for the imperial edict.

"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 nodded. "So what I have been telling you, this emperor is not simple. Godfather, I We are still helping your father plan the division of territory after the war. Who would have thought that he would be more direct and give more?”

“Isn’t he afraid?”

“What are you afraid of? , the more he gives, the more stable he is. The stingier he is, the more dangerous he is.

Lin'er,

This is just like a young couple discussing the bride price and dowry before getting married.

As long as one party wants to take advantage, it will often end up with feathers all over the place and a hundred thousand discomforts in the heart.

But if both parties are generous and neither wants to take advantage, they will be willing to give more.

If you want to take advantage of me, even if you take advantage of a penny from me, I will feel uncomfortable with it. If you don’t want to take advantage of me, I won’t do it if you do things generously and treat you to ten taels of wine. Muscle pain. ”

"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. Hope is in you

The iron triangle between the late emperor and the two kings of the north and the south,

The pattern between your father and the emperor in this generation can no longer be changed.

But who can guarantee the next generation? "

"Hmm. Zheng Lin responded, "Lin'er will not let his godfather down." ”

“Lin’er is so good. ”

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

"Don't even think about it."

"But I agreed to it. When I get the chance, I will help my godfather to rebel."< br>
"Yes, so if the prince marries one, wouldn't you suffer a loss if you don't marry him? His ancestry is Zhuming, and he will definitely be in a guarding position on the Gandi side in the future."

Zheng Lin: "I..."

"It's just a woman, what are you worrying about? Doesn't your father also have four wives?"

"But my father was robbed, and this is not an arranged marriage."

The blind man stretched out his hand , 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 hall, and Zhao Mugou walked on his knees again Before, he confessed to Emperor Dayan, saying that he was crowned by a monkey, and that the other party was the real destiny.

The emperor announced that Shangjing would be established as the capital of Yanjing, imitating the structure of the Yanjing court, and setting up six ministries and a cabinet.

On this day,

Prince Dayan accepted the salutes from the generals of Yanqian and Qiang in the courtyard of the Prince's Mansion;

Ji Wujiang and Zu Zhuming congratulated the prince on behalf of the generals of Yanqian and Qian respectively. It was once again confirmed that the regent was the unshakable position of...the real number one in the Yan army.

The prince consecrated Jin Shuke, Chen Yang and other generals with great achievements in military affairs in public.

Chen Xianba was granted the title of Uncle. He already had a lot of military exploits, and he still had the heads of the Zhu Kingdom on his body, so he was blameless.

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 would follow a path similar to that of Ji Wujiang, and he was also very tolerant.

Zheng Man was also granted the title of Uncle.

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 needs to force Promoting an unqualified person to force him to be qualified to show the regent's "nepotism"!

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

Otherwise,

who will continue to hang out with you?

Two people are missing from the canonization list.

One is Liang Cheng, who undoubtedly played the first role in the battle to destroy Qian, and the other is Gou Moli, who perfectly completed the supporting and supporting tasks in the two battles to destroy the country.

Liang Cheng was too lazy to accept the new official title, and people had long taken it lightly. Besides, Zheng Fan's soldiers were Liang Cheng's soldiers. What else did he want?

As for Gou Moli, he was the one who took the initiative not to confer a title. He said with a shy face that they were all members of the family and could be conferred titles and official positions.

The dream of a young man is not to be promoted to an official position, but to squeeze into the ranks of "gentlemen".

In short,

everything is spiraling for the better.

The reason for the spiral is that

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

But what he had under his command was a complete mob. They could not even defeat the rebels organized by the people in the Jiangnan area, and instead suffered a somewhat embarrassing defeat.

Fortunately, he had the skills to lead his troops in time to help him figure it out, and finally defeated the rebels. Otherwise, Zhao Yuannian would have been humiliated.

But nevertheless,

After Zhao Yuannian went to Beijing to take the title of emperor, he was still canonized as Prince Qian;

And Zhao Mugou,

after going back and forth, was canonized back to Prince Rui.

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

Also,

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 prince;

After he was granted the title of Taiwei, he ran to the willow tree again and cried. Half night, but this time I brought wine to accompany this tree The willow tree tells the story between him and the regent;

It is said that he and the regent met early and became close friends;

It is said that he also took refuge early in the year. After defeating the Liuye Party, His Majesty is indeed a wise king through the ages.

What Xu Wenzu will probably never know is that

In front of the Zhenbei Hou Mansion, Sha Tuo Queshi deliberately punched the carriage that Xu Wenzu was supposed to be hiding in. It was ordered by his confidant Zheng Fan of;

But when I was inexplicably abducted into a red tent and detained for a long time, I finally had to ride two horses to death before I could run back to Hutou City in great embarrassment and difficulty. It was thanks to the present Mingjun.

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 can Zheng Fan, his uncle, stab him in the back and go home to the hot springs with peace of mind if he doesn't retaliate?

Although the dry land has not been completely restored, the core area is basically in the hands of the Yan people. 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,

He will also return to Yanjing in the north.

"The Beast Control Supervisor has newly bred four Pixiu animals. How about one of your three cubs be allocated to each of them?"

"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 are too few. I'll order eighteen heads first and give them to my personal guards. This way I can show up when I go out."

"Dream on you!"

"Haha , merchants are stingy by nature.”
< br>"Zheng, after I return to Beijing, I will build the Lingyun Pavilion you mentioned, giving you the first priority." I’ll make room.”

"Fart, would your surname Zheng allow me to enter your ancestral tomb?"

"Come on, I will leave a space for you."

The emperor was stunned for a moment, and then cursed Said:

“Bitch!”

The prince sitting on Pixiu’s back waved his hand,

Said:

"Goodbye, beast."

......

Emperor, return to your car.

The team also headed north.

After crossing the Bianhe River,

I was serving Eunuch Wei who was reviewing the papers with tea. He silently put down the tea and took a step forward.

At this time,

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:

"If you don't cultivate Pixiu for me in the Beast Control Prison, why do you have to come all the way here?"
< br>A smile appeared at the corner of the woman's mouth, and in an instant, the charming aura flowed out, enough to brighten the spring scenery.

“Your Majesty,

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

"Oh, method? Can this method breed more Pixiu?"

The woman in white shook her head,

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

Soon,

What she said,

The atmosphere inside Luan Jia

instantly dropped to a terrifying freezing point:

"One,

way to make the regent act as a matter of course." (End of this chapter)< br>
