Chapter 800: Extras (24)
In the first few days, the city of Anling was full of rumors, the people stayed at home, and the gate was closed, lest the Yan soldiers who attacked the capital would burn and loot in the city, and loot the people's fat.
The head of the family was forcibly arrested in the middle of the night, his life and death were unknown, and he heard that the emperor had also become a prisoner of the Yan thief. Inevitably, some people were unwilling to die, so they packed up all night, took a dry nursing home and wanted to sneak out of the city, but they couldn't even touch the city gate, so they were taken down by the Yan defenders patrolling nearby and sent home.
All in all, it's hard to fly.
Having said that, Xue Rui arrested hundreds of court officials and threw them into prison, but he didn't shout and kill this group of people, but waited for Emperor Dayan's royal car to enter the customs, and then asked for the holy judge.
These days, he runs both in and out of the city, busy with his feet and not touching the ground, but he is very happy. During the day, he was entangled in all things, but every evening, he would return to the camp for the night, just for a moment of reunion.
Yu Shu saw that he was tired of running back and forth, so he said, "It's better for me to go back to the city first, so as not to toss you like this." ā
Xue Rui shook his head and said, "No." Downstairs at the city gate that day, I kidnapped you back in public, just to save you a good name to save the driver. If you go back like this, you'll fall short. ā
He "imprisoned" Yu Shu here, not all out of selfishness, but more for her future plans.
Although Dayan is menacing and has conquered half of the country in one go, it is not easy to conquer, and it is even more difficult to defend. Relying on that group of generals to rule the country is simply child's play, and in the future, Dayan will move the capital to Anling. It is indispensable to use the group of civil servants of the An Dynasty.
Coercion and temptation are one of them, the key is to set up a benchmark, a leading figure, and let that group of officials honestly serve Dayan, and Yu Shu can just do this.
Xue Rui didn't want her to be infamous as a "two-surnamed slave", so he could only strike first and firmly put the word "loyalty" on her. Even if she joined Dayan in the future, no one could accuse her of being insignificant.
"I've got it done," he said, taking her hand, his rough fingers rubbing against her soft fingertips. understated: "I will ask the king to leave the life of Emperor Chongzhen." Imprisoned him as a proton in the capital. As for you, you are forced to serve our court. ā
He even thought about the way back for her, and Yu Shu was very relieved. Smile lightly. Asked him, "You haven't thought about it." I don't want to be an official again? ā
Xue Rui looked up at her and told if she was joking or in her heart.
"If you don't want to. It's just that I haven't said anything. Behind his conniving tone was an immense confidence, and to this day, he could finally protect her.
Yu Shu looked into his gentle eyebrows, his heart was touched, stretched his slender fingers and intertwined with him, clenched hard, and said with a firm expression: "How can the power that has been obtained so hard be handed over to others." ā
She is tired of the deceit in the court, and tired of the endless intrigues, but if he works together and guides the country, it will not be a happy thing!
This decadent society should have a new beginning.

In July, Emperor Dayan entered the customs. On the 12th, they arrived in the east of Anling City. The king of Changping ordered his subordinates to open the city gates, send heavy troops, and personally go out of the city to pick up the driver. The flag is flying, ushering in the royal car, Emperor Yan is wearing iron armor, riding on horseback with a red face, bringing a dry family with him, and he does not see the pain of the journey.
"The younger brother knocked on the king, fortunately not dishonored, and has taken down the Jingshi! Long live! Xue Rui turned over and dismounted, clenched his fists and half-knelt. Countless soldiers behind him bowed down in unison, and the momentum was monstrous-
"Long live!"
"Hahaha!"
Emperor Yan laughed loudly, immediately jumped off the horse, stepped forward, helped Xue Rui with one hand, patted him on the shoulder vigorously, and said in a loud voice: "Good job!" I remember your first work! ā
Xue Rui had a smile in his eyes, he didn't see the rampant, but he didn't shirk it, no matter what the emperor said, how many people present didn't feel good in their hearts. The position of the first contributor to the founding of the country, he is seated.
Subsequently, the royal driving party entered Beijing and went straight to the palace. The glitzy and magnificent scenery seen along the way made a group of generals from the bitter cold land dazzled, who had ever seen the glazed tile top gold stucco wall, who had ever seen the white jade stone for the jewelry carving gallery.
Walking and stopping, they came to the golden and brilliant treasure hall, everyone saw the high dragon chair, even Emperor Yan couldn't stop the excitement on his face, gasped, crossed several steps, and couldn't wait to sit on the dragon chair.
When everyone saw this, they knelt down and shouted.
Emperor Yan Dayue, with a wave of his big hand, let the ministers be exempted, pressed down the excitement, asked Xue Rui to step forward, and asked, "Where is Emperor Da'an now?" "There is no emperor who does not worry about his predecessor.
"Imprisoned in the camp."
At that moment, someone said in a rough voice: "Why don't you kill it quickly?" ā
Xue Rui glanced at the reckless man lightly, and turned back to the emperor: "The younger brother has a word of advice." ā
Emperor Yan treated him kindly: "But it doesn't hurt to say it." ā
Xue Rui first mentioned the matter of moving the capital, and then talked about governing the country, and logically proposed to use Emperor Chongzhen as a hostage to subdue the officials of the previous dynasty. As soon as this remark came out, it attracted a lot of opposition, thinking that he was raising tigers for trouble.
Xue Rui did not argue with these simple-minded warriors, and made a one-way statement to the emperor: "The founding of the country is based on manpower, and the governance of the country is based on the hearts of the people." The king has won the world, and all the people of my Dayan territory belong to your people, why did you distinguish between the previous dynasty and this dynasty. ā
Emperor Yan is also wise, knowing that Xue Rui's mention yƬ is the most pragmatic, he has just won the world, there is no shortage of soldiers and horses in his hands, but there is a lack of manpower in the court, if he wants to settle down as much as possible, so as not to cause civil riots, the only way to use the officials of the previous dynasty.
"What Brother Wang said is reasonable, and this matter will be handled by you." Emperor Yan was originally born in a family of military generals, and he has a decisive temperament. No matter if anyone complained below, he immediately ordered Xue Rui to pick some available talents.
There is only one additional sentence: "Those who are willing to be used by me will stay, and those who are unwilling will be killed." ā
Xue Rui received the decree and said: "Chongzhen's harem is especially existing, please decide to stay." He was obviously reminding the emperor that there was still a group of women in the harem that he had not disposed of. Whether to kill or stay, you can make up your own mind.
Emperor Yan had a smile on his face, waved his hand and said: "The queen mother's car is still on the way, and it will arrive in a few days. ā
Mrs. Wei Guo was promoted to the queen mother, and Jiang Huan, the eldest princess, was here, for Emperor Yan, the affairs of the harem should be handled by women, and he was too lazy to worry about it. After rushing for days, after being excited, I was tired, and after discussing a few things, Emperor Yan let everyone disperse, rest for a while, and then make plans.
Out of the palace, Xue Rui was surrounded by a group of people, congratulating and inquiring about each other, and they were all concerned about a question - where will their group of people live in the future?
Fortunately, Xue Rui was prepared, and unhurriedly took out a drawing from his sleeve and spread it out on the ground, but it was an overlook map of Anling City. He pointed out more than a dozen positions with his fingers, and said: "Earlier, some officials and rich people fled in despair, and there were many vacant houses in Beijing, you can go and have a look first, and then ask you to move when I give you a good fortune." ā
Only then was everyone satisfied, and asked him for a map, and went to see the house in a swarm, for fear that he would go late and the good place would be picked up by others.
Xue Rui shook his head and laughed, coaxed the group of people, turned around and went to the prison of Dali Temple. (To be continued......)
