Chapter 680
Chapter 677 : Reward on merit and deeds, Fenghou!
After the will reached Kunlun County, Zhao Ji secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
She was right. Emperor Xia could use their orphans and widows. It is better to proactively surrender their heads than to forcibly destroy them, which is conducive to subsequent governance.
Afterwards, Zhao Ji immediately packed up her things, took her maid, and under the **** of the Forbidden Army, carried the little emperor to the capital of Qin.
At the same time, the soldiers and horses of Li Cunxiao and others also stationed in Kunlun County, and effortlessly took the last county of the capital of Qin. At this point, the State of Qin was in the hands of Daxia.
Half a month later, Zhao Ji’s carriage entered the capital of Qin and came to the front of the palace.
Looking at the once-familiar palace, but now it is extremely strange, the world has changed here.
With a deep sigh, Zhao Ji got out of the carriage holding the little emperor, and she served by her side.
In the palace, Xiao Rui was reading a book, and Wang Dazhi came to tell Zhao Ji and the little emperor that they were outside the Meridian Gate. Xiao Rui nodded and ordered the summons.
After a while, Zhao Ji and others at the Golden Palace, she secretly glanced at Xiao Rui above, and she was shocked by the look.
He was so handsome and majestic that Zhao Ji didn’t dare to look more and lowered her head in a panic. Can you become the emperor of Great Xia, can destroy Qi and Qin, will you be an ordinary emperor?
Such a man is really salivating!
“Zhao Ji and his courtier Qin Lin, knocked on the Emperor Daxia, long live your majesty!” Zhao Ji hugged the little emperor and knelt down and dared not get up.
The little emperor was still swaddling, sleeping Zhengxiang, and didn’t know the situation at all.
Lai Miao knelt aside and didn’t dare to raise his head. He was like a cat scratching his heart now. It was he who killed Qin Zheng. His Majesty promised the position of Marquis. When will it be honored. But he didn’t dare to ask, so he could only bear it in his heart, and wait for the trustee to contact his cousin Wang Dazhi afterwards, to explore his mouth.
Xiao Rui stretched out his hand to indicate, and smiled: “Be flat! You take the initiative to claim your subjects, and I will not be stingy with rewards. I will make a decree and designate Qin Lin as the King of Worry-Free. Stay forever.”
“Thank you, Your Majesty for the reward!” Zhao Ji respectfully said, and then took out an edict from her arms.
Wang Da directly presented it to Xiao Rui.
This is the last edict issued by Da Qin. It is an edict to abdicate, proclaiming to the people of Qin that Emperor Da Xia is the only emperor, and there will be no Da Qin ever since.
Looking at the bright red seal of the Great Qin State Jade Seal, Xiao Rui smiled.
At the same time, a system prompt sounded in Xiao Rui’s mind: “Ding Dong… Congratulations to the host for destroying the Kingdom of Qin, one step closer to the unification of China, the reward comes three times! Hope the host will continue to work hard!”
The smile on Xiao Rui’s face was even thicker. He came three times, and now the system didn’t give him a task at all, so the chance to come depends entirely on destroying the country.
After returning to his senses, Xiao Rui said again: “Lie will stay, you can withdraw.”
Zhao Ji stiffened, staring at the woman next to her in shock.
How did Emperor Daxia know that he was a woman? Lao Lao has been cheated to death, and Lao Lao’s entry into the palace is top secret. Why did Emperor Da Xia know?
Zhao Ji wanted to see something from her face, but it was a pity that her face didn’t change, and she didn’t look at him at all. Zhao Ji had no choice but to respectfully retreat.
After Zhao Ji left, the maid knelt on the ground and said: “Slave maid, see your majesty, long live your majesty!”
Xiao Rui nodded and said with a smile: “My wife loves Qing Qing to avoid the ceremony, I have heard of your credit, and I have done a very good job!”
There are three main reasons for Daxia to get Qin State so fast.
The first and most important one is naturally the disaster of the Little Ice Age.
The influence of the Little Ice Age was too great, which severely consumed Qin’s strength and caused serious class contradictions. The people did not live their lives and lost their trust in the country.
The second one is naturally the prosperity of Daxia.
Daxia possesses a powerful army, advanced weapons, and resourceful and brave commanders. Han Xin and his soldiers risked their lives to seize the three gates of the Qinling Mountains, creating conditions for the capture of Qin. If you can’t get the three passes of the Qinling Mountains, Daxia has to get the Dongqi area first, and then go to attack Qin. This will take a long time. It is not so easy to unify China in three years.
And the third reason is that after Emperor Wu Qin died, Qin’s internal rebellion, and the rebellion of the two kings made the situation of Qin more chaotic, accelerated its destruction, and also consumed Qin’s troops.
Therefore, Xiao Rui’s credit for praising Lai Chu is not small. After all, he participated in and led the killing of Emperor Qin Wu. This credit alone was enough for Xiao Rui to reward him.
Hearing your Majesty’s praise, Lai was overjoyed, and her heart immediately settled down. Your Majesty has said this, are you afraid that your Majesty will not reward yourself?
“Your Majesty, this is what the slave maidservant should do. As Da Xia Erlang, it is the slave maid’s wish to serve the country loyally.” Madam replied respectfully.
Xiao Rui said, “I’m very conscious. I won’t treat any meritorious officials badly. This time I won the capital of Qin. You and the generals have done the same thing, and I will make you a long letter!”
She was overjoyed and kowtows her head quickly to thank you: “Thank your majesty for the reward, thank your majesty for the reward!”
Later, Laiya retired full of joy.
Although Lai Xiao was sinister and treacherous, Xiao Rui wouldn’t be stingy with him as a marquis. It was indeed very useful to come to him by himself.
In taking the capital of Qin this time, the Eight Route Commanders all worked hard. In addition, they were all ministers from the Dragon, and they were all confidants. As the emperor, Xiao Rui must be rewarded for his merits, and he must reward them heavily, so they should not chill their hearts. .
So Xiao Rui personally formulated the decree:
“Han Xin, General Madam, was appointed as the Marquis of Huaiyin, and he was given the post of Hussar General!”
“Fengpolu general Li Cunxiao is the marquis of Shenwu, and is given the position of general of Zhenguo!”
“General Feng Polu, Yang Yuji, will be a master of swordsman, and he will be given the post of general of the auxiliary country!”
“Chen Qingzhi, General Feng Polu, is a Marquis of Wuwei, and is granted the post of General Anguo!”
“General Yue Fei, the captive captive, is named Wu Muhou, and he is granted the post of general protector of the country!”
“The captive general Dian Wei is a loyal marquise, and he is given the post of General Zhaoyong!”
“General Qi Jiguang, a captive captive, is named Wu Yihou, and he is given the post of General Zhaoyong!”
“General Gan Ning, Feng Polu, is named Wu Huihou, and is granted the post of General Zhaoyong!”
“The guerrilla general Huo Qubing was named Uncle Jing Huan, and he was given the post of General Zhaoyong!
Xiao Rui personally drafted the awards for the nine commanders. They are descendants and their loyalty can be guaranteed. Therefore, Xiao Rui doesn’t have to worry that the awards will be too heavy, which will cause them to support themselves and respect themselves in the future.
Moreover, it is of great significance to win the Kingdom of Qin and beat the Kingdom of Yuan, and the next Kingdom of Yan and Wei will not be a problem, so it can also improve their morale.
As for Huo Qubing’s knighthood, Xiao Rui didn’t give him a marquis, but an earl. Xiao Rui didn’t despise him, but valued him. Because Xiao Rui had already told the public that Huo Qubing could inherit the loyalty of the champion, so his marquis had been decided, and only the champion could be worthy of him.
Punching the Yuan army is not enough to make him a Marquis, he is still short of a mega-victory, don’t worry, there will be soon.
In the end, it was the maiden who was named Changxinhou.
I believe that once it is announced to the world, the deeds of Lai will be revealed. It is quite interesting to think about it. How will the Qin imperial clan, who has already become a minister, retaliate against Lai?
As for Zhang Liang, Jia Xu, Xiao He and others, Xiao Rui did not award them directly, but temporarily stayed for them to accumulate more credit and fame. Then Xiao Rui would make them extremely human officials and become the heads of civil officials. .
Next, Xiao Rui drafted the second imperial decree: “Choose Sichuan Jianguo as the Jiedu Envoy of the West Qin Dynasty, and govern the counties of the West Qin Dynasty!”
This loyal and righteous man for the sake of Da Xia’s incognito name, Xiao Rui was absolutely not stingy, and directly named him a Jiedu Envoy, and like Zhang Liang, took good care of himself in governing all counties in the Western Qin Dynasty.
The third imperial decree is to appease the people of Qin and exercise benevolent governance.
So in the next period of time, Xiao Rui was sitting in the Palace of the Qin Palace to rectify the counties of the Western Qin Dynasty.
Two months later, the weather turned cooler. It has been a year since Xiao Rui left Kyoto. Time flies so fast.
The counties in the Western Qin Dynasty have already restored order, and there is no need for Xiao Rui to stay in town, and let Han Xin, Gan Ning, Chen Qingzhi and others garrison 700,000 soldiers here, which can ensure peace of mind.
Then Xiao Rui left for Beijing.
It’s been a year since I came out, and I really miss my ladies. If you still want to go to the court next time, you have to bring Azhu with you.
After returning to Anxi for more than a month, Zhang Liang and Xiao He still wanted to preside over the work of the Anxi prefectures, so they stopped returning to Kyoto with Xiao Rui. In addition, Yang Youji and Qi Jiguang stayed here, with an army of 700,000.
Li Cunxiao and Yue Fei returned to the Anbei border to guard against the Yuan army’s invasion.
Xiao Rui led the soldiers and horses, and under the protection of Dian Wei, Li Yuanfang and others, continued on the journey.
When I returned to Kyoto, it was cold winter, and the first three years were almost over. Your Majesty returned to the city. It was supposed to clean the street to avoid the assassins. But this time the Yujia personally won the victory, it was the day when the people of Daxia were singing and dancing. Therefore, Xiao Rui ordered not to clean the street and allowed the people to join the road to welcome them.
When Xiao Rui’s Luan drove into the city, the welcoming people knelt down on the mountain and shouted long live. They could eat and drink enough, and they could wear warm cotton clothes. The poor people could read books. It was the majesty’s contribution. Nowadays, although disasters are frequent, but the great summer is flourishing, the people are naturally grateful.
Back in the imperial palace, Li Mingchong led Baiguan had been waiting for a long time.
Xiao Rui walked off Luanjia, and hundreds of civil and military officials greeted him.
Xiao Rui ordered hundreds of officials to waive the ceremony, and then moved to the Baohe Hall to open the noon.
After a year’s absence, he went to court again, the civil and military officials knelt down in an orderly manner, waiting for your majesty’s inquiry.
Xiao Rui inquired about Daxia’s situation, especially the lives of the people. Fang Xuanling had already prepared the data and handed in a satisfactory answer.
In today’s Great Summer, the South still has three crops a year. However, due to heavy rains, floods, and heavy rains, the three crops a year can be harvested in one season except for losses and costs, so every household has surplus grain.
There are only two crops a year in the north, and the winter is cold, so the planting of wheat and rice is reduced and replaced with sweet potatoes, potatoes and corn. Because of the high yields of the new crops, there are still grains left throughout the year.
It should be mentioned that Zajia rice has been promoted, and the high-yield rice does not need to be propagated by the court, and the people are rushing to plant it. In addition, during Xiao Rui’s private conquest, the sailing trade ships also returned to Daxia. This time they brought back not only spices and gems, but also white pigs.
The Ministry of Household has promoted the hybrid breeding of white pigs and local black pigs, and has promoted the value of pork through the imperial court to benefit the people.
In addition, the full liberalization of coal mines has led to a rapid increase in coal production in Daxia. The current coal price is very low, as low as tens of wen per jin, which also brings benefits to the people of Daxia through the cold winter.
Next, the other five departments also reported their work, Xiao Rui listened carefully, and the afternoon session lasted for two hours before it ended.
