Chapter 557: Emperor Shengwu

The military parade was a good time to show the strength of the country, and the previous emperors had to guard the army and did not dare to let them enter the Forbidden City. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info Ji Yang didn't have this worry, not to mention that the Qilin Army was extremely loyal to him, but some people rebelled, and what was he afraid of with Ji Yang's martial arts.

The head of the army is naturally the regular army led by Xiang Pingdong, the momentum is the most steel and resolute, the cavalry is riding Dawan horses, behind are musketeers and sword and shield soldiers, and in the middle is a land war tiger cannon pulled by a donkey.

Then there is the mercenary army led by the broken army, which has more establishment than the regular army, and the mercenaries are not as neat as the regular army in terms of details, but they can't be seen if they don't look carefully, and they have an extra bad spirit.

"This is the Qilin Army of the Holy Saint today, it is the famous Tiger God Cannon, and one cannon can reach eighteen miles away! How many tiger cannons are here, not to mention a thousand, no wonder the Dugu rebel thief only blocked it for less than three days that day, just ask which country in the four seas can block such a strong tiger cannon. The officials who watched the parade were amazed, and they had already left Dugu and Zhu Ding behind.

"Long live the Holy Martial Emperor, long live the Qilin Army!" The people cheered.

The loud cheers could not hide the neat steps of the Qilin Army, Ji Yang stood on the city tower, and the Fire Qilin was beside him. When the Qilin Army walked past the city tower, they would all look up at Ji Yang, and put their right hand into a fist on their left chest.

This military salute has been around since ancient times, and the Mongols also saluted in this way.

Seeing the majesty of the Qilin Army with their own eyes, as well as the Rui Beast Fire Qilin beside Ji Yang, all the people instantly put aside the emperor in front of them in their hearts. In their hearts, Ji Yang is a veritable Emperor of Shengwu and will bring good news to the Central Plains.

After the parade, Ji Yang immediately discussed in the court, and the first task was naturally the people's livelihood.

The north has long started infrastructure construction, and even the construction of the nine-sided railway, in the form of work-for-relief, the people there do not have to worry. The key is the people in the south, because of Zhu Ding's incompetence, although he conquered the south, he has never had money for disaster relief.

In the south, there is a densely populated land with few fields, and many victims starved to death and froze to death in winter. As soon as Ji Yang took office, he naturally immediately ordered the Xingzhu Chamber of Commerce to build the Southern Railway, which was also a cash-for-work.

With so many disaster victims, they are willing to do hard work every day when they have enough to eat, and the businessmen feel that it is still relatively worthwhile. Shuchuan connects the railway to the west, the Jiubian Chamber of Commerce and the Xingsu Chamber of Commerce are all known, originally Shuchuan was very poor, but since the construction of the railway to open the western trade route, now it is richer than the coastal cities in the south. If the Southern Railway is built, what a huge business opportunity there will be in this place where industry and commerce converge.

Of course, the construction of two railways across the north and south at the same time cost more than 200 million yuan. And the Qilin Army's battle to recover the Central Plains and Dongying has consumed a lot of money and silver, even if the Nine Sides Chamber of Commerce and the Star Chamber of Commerce are a little tight.

Although the cash-for-work and the arrest of Mongolians as laborers still require Ji Yang to find a way to make money.

"Since the Dugu side colluded with Dongying to invade the Central Plains, the Central Plains has been riddled with holes, and the people are struggling to make a living. Now, the Dugu rebel has been ambushed, and all the family wealth has been returned to the public, but Dongying has not paid the price. Ji Yang said.

"Your Majesty Shengwu, I, Emperor Dongying, am willing to surrender and ask His Majesty Shengwu to be magnanimous." Huangying finally reported Zhu Ding's thigh, but when he returned to China to collect evidence, he was ambushed, and all the Central Plains warriors who accompanied him died. Huangying could only come back to the Central Plains to find Zhu Ding, but he never expected that even Zhu Ding would be ambushed and hanged.

I heard that the group of people who ambushed Zhu Ding were all dead soldiers in black, and they could move even if their heads were cut off. Nameless didn't know this, and as a result, several dead soldiers who had been cut off and fell to the ground suddenly intervened and killed the emperor.

"I still have the original demand, Dongying must compensate one billion taels of silver and hand over the military and political power." Ji Yang said.

"Your Majesty Shengwu, Dongying really can't come up with so much money." Huangying was about to cry, he had never been so wronged, a billion taels of silver, even the Central Plains was difficult to take, let alone the small country of Dongying.

"I said that I can pay with mineral veins, grain and other materials." In front of the Manchu Dynasty, Ji Yang did not say the word population.

When the civil and military officials heard the emperor's words, they all felt some sympathy for Dongying, and at the same time felt that it was inappropriate for Ji Yang to do this. Their thoughts are the same as the previous emperors, although Dongying is a small country, but if they are in a hurry, they will inevitably take a bite, and they force Dongying so badly, what do other small countries in Nanyang think.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Dongying can't get a billion taels of silver with the power of the whole country, and such a high compensation is too harsh." Taishi Zhang Zhongjian stood up and said that he was already in his fifties and had very rich qualifications.

Hearing that someone was talking to Dongying, Huangying was overjoyed and was a little moved.

Ji Yang frowned slightly, whether Dongying can take it out or not still needs you to worry about. If you don't do this, how can you squeeze out the resources of Dongying, and how can you make the emperor lose the support of the people. If the emperor does not lose the support of the people, how can he justifiably obtain military and political power?

This set of rules has its own rules, but the hundred officials don't know Ji Yang's ambitions, and they think that he simply wants money.

"Taishi is benevolent, but I think that instead of thinking about Dongying, it is better to think about the people in distress in the Central Plains. Tens of millions of people have been displaced, could it be that the Taishi has to provide disaster relief at his own expense? Ji Yang asked.

"I don't dare." Zhang Zhongjian was startled and hurriedly lowered his head.

"Hmph, I don't think you have seen with your own eyes how miserable those displaced people are, it seems that there is a chance, you have to send you all to the people to help the disaster, to see." Ji Yang said.

The hundred officials lowered their heads and didn't reply, they understood that this lord was not afraid of the small country of Dongying at all. The governor of Nanyang is still stationed in Dongying, ready to go to war at any time.

"Imperial Shadow, you don't have to pretend to be pitiful here, hurry back and tell the Emperor what I said. He didn't have much time, and if he didn't reply within a month, I would order Bu Jingyun to attack Kansai Kyoto. Ji Yang said.

Huangying showed a look of despair, and he couldn't afford to pay if he couldn't fight, this time Dongying was really going to bleed heavily. Not to mention the massive bleeding, the bone marrow is almost knocked out, but does the emperor dare to resist?

He didn't know, and the only way to do this was to tell the emperor about it and see how he would react.

After the imperial shadow retreated, Ji Yang glanced at the hundred officials and said: "Although the country is big, the belligerent will die, but since it is fought, you have to get back what you lost." We are fighting not only for the sake of face, but also to take into account the interests of the entire Central Plains, so many people have suffered, most of them because the Dongying people burned, killed and looted. If you think that I am too harsh, you can donate silver taels for disaster relief, and I will be exempted from Dongying for compensation as much as you donate. ”

The faces of the civil and military officials were hot and embarrassed, and they thought to themselves why this lord didn't speak according to the rules, and it was difficult for people to dismantle it.

"The minister has his own music." Taifu Chenyang stood up.

"Quasi-play." Ji Yang said.

"Qiqi Sheng, the fundamental reason for the change of ownership in the Central Plains this time lies in the martial arts sect. The minister thought that he should vigorously rectify the various sects, otherwise a peerless city would be destroyed, and a Blue Dragon Society would appear. Chen Yang said.

The ministers all thought that the martial arts sect had always been a cancer in the Central Plains, large and small, all over the body.

The emperors of all dynasties wanted to control the martial arts sect, and the most adopted method was to support several sects, such as the Ming Dynasty supported the Taishan faction and was named Taishan Beidou. Supporting a few sects to suppress some sects is a very useful technique, but it cannot be cured.

"Indeed, the martial arts sect must be rectified, and this time the large and small sects in the Central Plains have been suppressed by the Wushuang Town, and it is just right to reform. In this way, from now on, don't call it a sect, all martial arts sects will be restructured into academies. Ji Yang said.

"The martial arts sect has been restructured into an academy, is this okay?" Hundreds of officials exchanged heads, Ji Yang's thinking was too out-of-the-box.

"The minister thought that it was absolutely impossible, the martial arts sect was vulgar and barbaric, and it was insulting to change the system into an academy. If folk children go to such academies to learn arts, won't it encourage the folk martial arts atmosphere, and in the long run, the country will not be the country. "The Ministry of Rites Shangshu Guang Yongxiang said.

"Isn't it good to promote the martial arts of the people?" Ji Yang asked.

"If the martial arts violate the ban, if the people are martial, do not pay attention to etiquette, do not pay attention to the rules, do not reason, draw their swords to see each other, and add their fists and feet, where is there a peaceful place in this world." Guang Yongxiang Road.

The officials nodded in agreement, and their thoughts were similar.

"When the people are martial, they don't pay attention to etiquette, rules, or reason, what kind of truth is this? I am also a person who practices martial arts, and there are also people who practice martial arts among you, so don't we all talk about etiquette and rules? Ji Yang asked rhetorically.

Ji Yang has a habit of debating with others, that is, he does not refute him directly, but asks him rhetorically, or transfers the contradiction to the other party. Just like the previous Dongying compensation, you said not to force Dongying, but the disaster relief requires money.

Okay, I won't force Dongying to pay for you, and I really didn't refute it.

"How can we, who read, be compared with those who are illiterate and vulgar." Guang Yongxiang said that he was very angry, and even compared the hundred officials with those mud legs, is the mud legs a reasonable person.

"Then let them read the books of sages, since they have been restructured into academies, they naturally can't just practice martial arts. Restructuring and restructuring, changing the inheritance of master and apprentice to the inheritance of teachers and students, and changing the place of training to the simultaneous advancement of civil and military. Just like the Xingzhu Academy, literature must also be learned, and martial arts must also be learned. Ji Yang said.

"This..."Guang Yongxiang didn't know how to refute for a while, he couldn't say that people were also muddy when they read the books of the sages, wouldn't it be an insult to the sages.

"I don't believe it, the sage book can even educate barbarians, but it can't educate folk martial artists. Or do you think that the books of sages are useless and cannot educate the warriors of your country? Ji Yang asked again.

"The ancient sages, who educate all things, can naturally educate those martial artists." Guang Yongxiang said.

"In that case, do as I tell you." Ji Yang made up his mind.

There are also officials who turn their brains and want to refute Ji Yang, but they can't think of a good way for a while. By the time they came up with it, the officials had already expressed their obedience, and the matter was decided.

Ji Yang handed over the task of reforming the sect to Xiang Pingdong, because he could predict that there must be many sects that opposed it. Without iron and blood, it is impossible to bring all the sects in the Central Plains into standardized management.

"The minister has his own music." It was still Guang Yongxiang who spoke.

"Quasi-play." Ji Yang said.

"There is only one queen in the saint, the harem is lonely, and the minister implores the emperor to choose a concubine." Guang Yongxiang Road.

"Who said I only have one queen, and I have two wives, but they haven't come back." Ji Yang said.

"If the concubine doesn't return to the palace, the matter is serious, and I hope the emperor will recall the two mothers immediately." Guang Yongxiang said.

"I hope the emperor will recall the two mothers." Hundreds of officials have admonished, and in their opinion, the concubine is wandering outside, which damages the royal face. Not to mention concubines, even the wives and concubines of ordinary families can't put their husbands at home and run out to play by themselves.

Ji Yang also felt quite embarrassed, but Ying Xiaoxiao was already building Zezhou and building her ideals. Although this ideal may be a whim, Ji Yang didn't want to imprison her in the palace, so he didn't plan to recall them.

"This monarch is not easy to be a father, the country of the family is in such trouble, and the emperor's private affairs have become things of glory and disgrace with the country." Ji Yang knew why these officials advised, because in their opinion, the emperor's private affairs were state affairs, and the concubines who did not abide by women's morals were insulting to the national body.

"I will recall the two concubines as soon as possible, you Aiqing don't need to worry." Ji Yang used the procrastination trick, he planned to change the country of one family to the country of the world after he completely mastered the government. In this way, not only can private affairs be preserved, but also conducive to cultivating the sense of ownership of the people of the world. After a pause, Ji Yang said again: "As for the issue of choosing a concubine, unless the world is peaceful, I will never choose a concubine." ”

"Your Majesty!" All the ministers were shocked, and they wanted to admonish.

"You don't need to persuade me, I've made up my mind!" Ji Yang said firmly.

"Your Majesty." The ministers were helpless.

There is a queen living in the three palaces and six courtyards, and this lord is also the first person in ancient times.

After retiring from the dynasty, Ji Yang returned to the Qianqing Palace, and a large number of recitals were waiting for him to review.

These twists and turns don't have to be the emperor to make decisions, but if Ji Yang doesn't understand these things and can't grasp the context of the court, he won't be able to be the emperor, so he has to watch it if he doesn't look at it.

"Fortunately, I also have a doppelganger, which can be used to review the folds." Ji Yang released Xuanyuan's clone, controlled the muscles and bones of his face to look like him, and sat in the Qianqing Palace to review and review the folds. What the doppelganger has experienced, Ji Yang can directly copy into his own primordial spirit.

Let the doppelganger sit in the Qianqing Palace, and Ji Yang came to Kunning Palace to see the queen.

"Qinglu, how do you feel about the palace?" Ji Yang asked.

"When I was in the Shu Palace, the concubines felt that it was too big, but now that they have come to the palace, they only feel that it is bigger. I live alone in such a big place, it's really boring, and it seems to be back to the time when I was in Western Xia. Li Qinglu said.

"I think so too, the palace is too big to use eunuchs, but I don't like eunuchs. When the situation in the Central Plains stabilized, I ordered a ban on castration and replaced eunuchs with other methods. Ji Yang said.

"That's a good deed." Li Qinglu said.

"There should be no eunuchs in this world, I just abandon bad habits." Ji Yang said.

Li Qinglu smiled slightly, and she was relieved to see that Ji Yang was still the same as before when he became emperor.
