Chapter 255: The patriarchs of the nine surnames all entered the palace, and the Chitang Emperor saved his loyal ministers

said last time, at this time, with the army led by Feng Xuege, and the nine clans of the Holy Mountain, they actually wiped out all the elites of the Shunyuan Empire under the command of the Eastern Marquis of the Shunyuan Empire and the Dadu Governor Yuan Heng. In this battle, even Duanmu Gang felt very outstanding. However, he forgot about this battle, and all the innings were set up by him.

After this battle, the occupation of the northwest changed completely. At the same time, the population of nearly 30 million people of the nine clans of the Holy Mountain has all moved to the Maoling area of Hexi Province of the Chitang Empire, where the water and grass are abundant, and there are many fields that can be cultivated, so this is simply a dream home for the nine clans of the Holy Mountain. At the same time, they never thought that they would also be exempted from taxes and forced labor by the imperial court for three years, and at the same time, they would also select talented and virtuous people to enter the imperial court as officials, and at the same time, they would also select the elite among them to form an army to cooperate with Feng Xue Ge to reinforce His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who was fighting against the Liechu Empire at this time.

The army of the Liechu Empire is worthy of being a strong army, even if the army of the Chitang Empire that is now fighting against them still can't take advantage. For Duanmuzhen, the crown prince of the Chitang Empire, this King Xiong Zhou, who led the army of the Liechu Empire and fought against him, was really a scheming veteran on the battlefield.

At this moment, Duanmuzhen, the crown prince of the Chitang Empire, who set up his camp in Huxi, was looking at the sand table in distress. Although his daughter-in-law has now come back to reinforce him, he still has a headache.

On September 18 of the 32nd year of Duanning, the nine patriarchs of the nine clans of the Holy Mountain came to Kyoto with a group of children to make a pilgrimage to Emperor Duanmugang.

Duanmugang also welcomed them very much, and the solemn ceremony made all the people of the nine clans feel flattered, and they immediately saluted him when they saw the emperor. And Duanmu Gang talked to them in person, and after that, he personally inquired about the knowledge of these children of the nine surnamed tribes.

As a result, he found that these children were really knowledgeable and extraordinary, anyway, there were many vacancies in the court today, so Duanmu Gang directly granted them official positions with real power according to their talents. This made these people of the Nine Sacred Mountain clans feel extremely honored, and they are even more determined in their hearts to be dedicated and loyal to the Empire.

And Duanmu Gang was even more surprised, he never thought that among the children of these nine clans of the Holy Mountain, there were dozens of extraordinary talents, and he liked it very much.

I saw a young man with an ugly face open his mouth and said, "Your Majesty, Weichen Song Bingzhong, I have a map I want to dedicate to Your Majesty." ”

This Song Bingzhong has been ugly since he was a child, but he is very knowledgeable, knows astronomy and geography. At the same time, he was filial to his parents, loyal, and hated the bloody and cruel oppression of their nine clans in the Shunyuan Empire. He was proficient in cartography, and since His Majesty used him so much, he immediately presented it.

Duanmu Gang agreed, and he said lightly: "Okay, Song Aiqing, unfold the map!"

Gao He immediately ordered several eunuchs to spread out the map presented by Song Bingzhong on the ground. Duanmu Gang, on the other hand, looked at the map carefully, his eyes full of surprise.

In front of Duanmugang is the river and mountain in the west of the holy mountain, which is 3,000 miles in circumference, and most importantly, it is marked that it is not the enemy's military deployment and pass defenders. However, Duanmu Gang felt that this was more important than that, because what was presented to him was the future of this place.

"Your Majesty, this is a three-thousand-mile radius of rivers and mountains to the west of the Holy Mountain. Wechen carefully studied the terrain here and found that if the empire occupied this place, then he could choose this place for tuntian. The land here is fertile, and it originally belonged to the land of our Nine Sacred Mountain clans, but it was seized by the Shunyuan Empire. The Shunyuan Empire imposed harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and the people could not bear the suffering, so they had to flee from this place, so a large area of fertile land here has been barren. Weichen believes that both His Majesty and His Royal Highness the future Crown Prince are destined to seize this land. Therefore, what Weichen dedicates to His Majesty is the future. As long as this place is seized, the water conservancy is diligently repaired, and not only the army is reclaimed, but also the people are relocated to this place to open up the wasteland, Weichen can be sure that within three years, this place will become a fertile land. After this battle, if His Majesty can force the Shunyuan Empire to take this place, and let the Shunyuan Empire take the two cities of Wocheng and Dajingguan, then the Shunyuan Empire will definitely not dare to attack. As long as three to five years, our army can use this place as a base to carry out a policy of encroachment on the Shunyuan Empire. Song Bingzhong said confidently.

Duanmu Gang looked at the great talent in front of him, and he suddenly said, "Song Aiqing, are you willing to take on the position of the prince's guest again?"

Song Bingzhong was a little puzzled, although he was talking about the future, but it was not when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ascended the throne in the future, but during His Majesty's term of office, he could completely accomplish this! However, he did not dare to ask.

Duanmu Gang said to him: "Song Aiqing, you don't have to be so afraid, shouldn't His Royal Highness the Crown Prince be taught by an official like you? After all, this matter in the west, after this big war, the crown prince is afraid that this matter will be carried out! If you want to recommend someone? You can speak freely. ”

Song Bingzhong looked at His Majesty, and was very grateful in his heart, no one dared to accept his suggestion casually, but His Majesty immediately accepted it, and asked him to recommend talents. He immediately said: "Your Majesty, Weichen can recommend a talent for Your Majesty, but this person is now being held in the county government prison in Yutian County, Shunyuan Empire. ”

Duanmu Gang, that is, Zhou Shuyu, felt very curious, and he asked, "Oh, then what kind of talent does this person have?"

Song Bingzhong immediately replied: "Your Majesty, this person is not a person from my nine clans, but Qin Zheng, the grandson of Qin Mian, the right minister of the Shunyuan Empire, who was wrongfully imprisoned, he is proficient in agriculture and water conservancy, and Wechen has been an opponent with him, but Wechen hopes that His Majesty can reuse him." Their entire clan has been imprisoned, and Qin Mian has been imprisoned in the Shunyuan Empire's Dragon Guard Prison, unable to survive or die. The entire Qin clan is loyal to the Shunyuan Empire, but they are now suffering cruel punishment one by one, if Your Majesty can rescue them, Weichen will personally lobby them and let them serve Your Majesty. ”

Duanmu Gang looked at him, he was extremely surprised by this right phase clan of the Shunyuan Empire, because many people of this right phase clan had the blood of the people of the nine clans on their hands, but looking at these people from the nine clans of the Holy Mountain who also heard Song Bingzhong's words, none of them raised any objections, and they seemed to have a lot of respect for this right minister.

Song Huaizhong, one of the nine patriarchs of the Nine Clans of the Holy Mountain, spoke: "Your Majesty, what this kid Bingzhong said is right, this right prime minister Qin Mian's clan, although there are many clansmen who have a lot of blood on their hands, but the people who save us are also members of their clan. We have great respect for the people of the Qin Mian clan, they are our opponents, but they are our most respected enemies, because they don't kill women and children, they are just ordered by the imperial court to encircle and suppress us. It was he who admonished the faint monarch in the court of the Shunyuan Empire and asked for preferential treatment for us. However, the faint king did not allow it. Later, the right prime minister Qin Mian and his family were framed by traitors, causing their entire clan to be imprisoned. Now, many people have been brutally tortured to death in the Dragon Guardian Prison of the Shunyuan Empire, and their clan is all talented, if Your Majesty can rescue them, we old men will go to persuade them. ”

Duanmu Gang looked at them, of course he knew who this right minister Qin Mian was? He could be described as the iron backbone of the Shunyuan Empire. If you want to convince such people, I am afraid that it is not a sentence or two that can convince them.

Looking at the look in the emperor's eyes, Song Bingzhong in front of him understood that His Majesty had doubts in his heart about whether he could say that the Qin clan would be truly submissive. Therefore, he directly said confidently: "Your Majesty, rest assured, as long as Your Majesty can rescue them, we will naturally persuade them." ”

Duanmu Gang looked at the determined expressions of these people in front of him, and immediately said, "Okay, I promise you, I will send someone to rescue them quickly." ”

Hearing His Majesty's promise, they were extremely happy. And Duanmu Gang immediately ordered people to go to the Shunyuan Empire, although it took a lot of trouble, but he still rescued all the Qin Mian clan from prisons and exiles in various parts of the Shunyuan Empire.

When Qin Mian was rescued from the Dragon Guard Prison of the Shunyuan Empire, there was no good meat on his body, and he was being carefully treated by the imperial doctor. As for him, he never thought that he and his people were all being saved, and that the people who saved him were the enemies of his own country.

Since Qin Mian didn't know that the place he was in was actually the palace of the Chitang Empire, he still thought that this was just the mansion of an ordinary official of the Chitang Empire!

When he looked at his sons Qin Ding, Qin Sheng and Qin Sheng, he was very happy in his heart, especially when he saw his grandson Qin Zheng, he was even more happy.

Qin Mian asked them suspiciously, "Children, where is this?"

Qin Zheng replied, "Grandpa, this is the imperial palace of the Chitang Empire. ”

Qin Mian was immediately amazed, and he asked, "How is this possible? The emperor of the Chitang Empire lives in such a place, which is not even comparable to the mansion of an ordinary official of our country!"

Qin Zheng replied: "Yes, grandpa, His Majesty of the Chitang Empire is known for his diligence and frugality, and he often thinks about the suffering of the people. I don't like to build palaces, I don't like harems, so now the palace of the Chitang Empire is not as good as the mansions of ordinary officials in my country. ”

If you want to know what happens next, let's see the next breakdown.
