Song Yinzi ascended the throne and succeeded to the throne and rewarded the ministers. Among them, Xiao Ding was particularly favored, not only conferred on him the title of Marquis of Loyal and Martial Protectors, but also crowned him as the capital of Taiwei, in charge of all military-related matters of the Great Song Kingdom.

But Xiao Ding was unwilling to be an official, and he accepted the title of the marquis, after all, this title can receive a lot of money every year, and it belongs to the senior civil servants who eat the emperor's grain and do not have to work, and also has the status of a nobleman, but he has no real power.

The position of lieutenant is a real position with real power, and it is the highest military commander in the country. Many officials dream of an official position that is difficult to obtain, but Xiao Ding did not hesitate to shirk it.

He was reluctant to get involved in the factional disputes of the court officials, and he was not willing to spend his brain on the daily struggle with other officials. He was already very content with the title of marquis, so he refused to take over the position of lieutenant.

The emperor couldn't, so he had to ask Xiao Ding to help recommend someone to take up the post of Tai Lieutenant. Xiao Ding elected Yang Hongtao, the old prince of Yang Wangfu.

When Song Yinzi heard this, he felt that the old prince Yang could take on the position of captain no matter whether it was in terms of qualifications or character, but he was a little older, and he originally had the title of the prince, so he didn't have to worry about food and clothing, and he could spend his old age in peace, so there was no need to come out to work on state affairs.

It's just that Song Yinzi has no other candidate in mind at this time, originally he thought that Xiao Ding would definitely agree, so he didn't think about others. Now that Xiao Ding temporarily refused to be the captain, Song Yinzi had no idea, he looked at the ministers of civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, and their eyes were full of expectation, and they all seemed to be coveting the position of the captain.

So, Song Yinzi's gaze finally fell on Old Prince Yang, and said: "Old Lord Yang, since General Tian, oh, he should be called Marquis Tian now, since Marquis Tian has come to nominate you to the post of Tai Lieutenant, then I will reward you to be the capital of this Tai Lieutenant and take charge of all the military affairs of my Great Song Kingdom!" ”

Old Prince Yang hurriedly came out of the queue and knelt down to salute and said: "Old minister Yang Hongtao thank Lord Longen!" ”

Song Yinzi said politely: "In the future, I still need Old Prince Yang to worry more about state affairs!" ”

"The old minister is willing to serve the country!" Old Prince Yang saluted again.

Song Yinzi ordered the eunuch to hand over the edict of appointment to the old prince Yang, who took the edict expressionlessly and stepped aside.

Next, Song Yinzi sealed his four minor younger brothers, all of whom were the titles of the prince. They were young, the oldest being twelve. Song Yin imprisoned them in the palace after deciding to seize the throne before, and now Song Yinzi has succeeded to the throne, and he still re-sealed them again according to the throne that the old emperor rewarded them with, in fact, it is just a process of walking.

There are also more than 20 concubines of the old emperor Song Yuanting, among which several are relatively young, and they were directly occupied after Song Yinding ascended the throne.

In fact, this kind of thing to occupy his father's princess is also common in this era. Xiao Ding as a traverser, in the history he is familiar with, this kind of thing is not uncommon, such as Cao Cao during the Three Kingdoms period, Cao Cao likes to rob other people's wives all his life, more than 20 wives and concubines in his life, most of them are robbing other people's wives, and sometimes they are also robbed together with other people's sons to help raise them. For example, Cao Cao's fifth wife, Madame Du, was originally the wife of Qin Yilu, a military general under Lu Bu, and when Cao Cao attacked Lu Bu, Guan Yu said to Cao Cao that he had taken a fancy to Qin Yilu's wife, Madame Du, and hoped that when Cao Cao defeated Lu Bu, he would be able to leave Madame Du to him. As a result, Guan Yu didn't expect that after Cao Cao defeated Lu Bu, when he saw Mrs. Du, he was immediately attracted by Mrs. Du's beauty, and then directly left Mrs. Du to himself. As a result, Guan Yu was also very dissatisfied with Cao Cao.

Although Cao Cao always liked to rob other people's wives all his life, but after his death, he ushered in retribution, and most of his wives and concubines were included in the harem by his son Cao Pi.

Therefore, in ancient times, this kind of thing happened that the new emperor accepted the concubines of the old emperor, and in the concept of the ancients, this kind of thing has long been strange.

However, Song Yinzi had read a lot of sage books since he was a child, but he didn't want to take his father's concubines as his concubines. So, on the day of his accession to the throne, he directly sealed some of the concubines who had given birth to the old emperor as imperial concubines, and those who had not given birth to the old emperor, and those who had been occupied by Song Yinding, let them receive some gold and silver, and return to their hometown, and since then they have nothing to do with the palace.

Of course, these things in the harem were all rewarded together when the queen was rewarded.

Above the court, Song Yinzi successively rewarded some vacant positions, many of which were arranged in advance, and he only needed to announce them in the court.

Among them, I still have to mention Han Jun, Han Jun was dismissed by Song Yin before. Song Yinzi ascended the throne and directly rewarded Han Jun as the head of the household, which was one level higher than his previous household servant. Now it's the top spot in the household department. The former Tobe Shirou was equivalent to the later Deputy Minister of Agriculture, and the current Tobe Shangshu is equivalent to the full minister.

Then, those generals who had made meritorious contributions on the battlefield in Jiaozhou were all given the rank of general by Song Yinzi and officially became one of the national civil servants who ate imperial grain.

In addition to these generals, those generals who defended against strong enemies in the north were also rewarded to a greater or lesser extent.

The countries that attacked the frontier in the north, the Great Hara Kingdom, the Great Tura Kingdom, and the Great Xia Kingdom, after receiving the news of the defeat of the king of Jiaozhou and fleeing abroad, all of them also quit their troops at the same time. Gao Wanjun and Luo Simao, who went to the northern border to support, will also return to Kyoto in the near future.

After rewarding the civil and military officials of the imperial court, Song Yinzi announced on the spot how to deal with Song Yinding, Zhao Shisun, Gao Geyu and others.

Basically, they did it according to what Xiao Ding said.

Song Yin plotted to usurp the throne and should have been beheaded, but the new emperor ascended the throne and granted amnesty to the world, spared him from capital crimes, and sent people to escort him and his biological mother Concubine Xia to exile to Liuqiu Island in the southeast of Yuezhou, and were not allowed to return to the Great Song Kingdom for the rest of their lives. His concubines, all reduced to commoners, were repatriated home.

In fact, Song Yinzi didn't know that there was such a Liuqiu Island on the sea. But Xiao Ding knew that the Ryukyu Island he was talking about was the island of Taiwan Island in the later generations.

Then, because Zhao Shisun supported Song Yin's plot to usurp the throne, he was still the head of the supporters, and his crime should also be exterminated. Just because the new emperor granted amnesty to the world, the new emperor remembered that he had assisted the Great Song Kingdom for many years, and there was no merit and hard work, so he was lightly dismissed and ordered to return to his hometown, and his son was dismissed from the official position, and he was never allowed to be an official. At the same time, the prime minister's mansion was confiscated.

The next Gao Geyu, forming a private party, causing chaos in the dynasty, relying on power, lawlessness, and vigorously supporting Song Yin's plot to usurp the throne, his crime should also be punished by the nine clans. But it was still the new emperor who granted amnesty to the world, exempted him from capital crimes, and removed him from official positions, as well as the official positions of his sons. Confiscated the Taiwei Mansion. dismissed his domestic slaves, and all the men in his house, including Gao Geyu's father and son, were sent to the Liangzhou border to do hard labor, and all the female dependents in his family were sold to the army as military prostitutes.

There are also several core members who once strongly supported Song Yinding, including the former Hubu Shangshu, that is, Han Jun's previous boss.

These officials also had the same fate as Gao Geyu, who raided their homes, all the male members were sent to the border to do hard labor, and all the female dependents were sold to the army as military prostitutes.

From this decision, we can also see the low social status of women in this era. Most of the wives and concubines in the families of these officials were also taken by them by virtue of their power, and these women had no right to choose, and they were occupied by powerful people.

Xiao Ding stood in the crowd of officials, although he felt sad for these innocent people, he was helpless. This feudal system was inherited in ancient China for thousands of years before it was abolished in the changes after the rise of the new ideology. Now, with his own strength, he can't shake the entire feudal era at all.

Just when all the officials endured the hunger in their stomachs, they finally waited for Song Yinzi to reward the hundred officials and dispose of the criminals, and looked forward to the end of the year and the fact that they could go home for lunch.

Suddenly, a guard outside the door came to report: "Long live the Emperor Qiyu, outside the palace gate, there is a prince of the Great Fusang Kingdom who came to worship and congratulate the new emperor on his accession to the throne." ”

When Song Yinzi heard this, he wondered in his heart, and said secretly, my Great Song Kingdom and the Great Fusang Kingdom have never interacted, but the pirates of the Great Fusang Kingdom often come to the East China Sea to harass the fishermen and merchant ships of the Great Song Kingdom, making the fishermen and merchants of the Great Song Kingdom miserable, why did the prince of the Great Fusang Kingdom come to my Great Song Kingdom?

However, regardless of whether there was any contact with the Great Fusang Kingdom in the past, since people are here to congratulate today, as the monarch of the Great Song Kingdom, he naturally cannot lose his courtesy. So he sent a message down and said, "Please! ”

After the guards answered, it didn't take long for them to lead a group of people into the Jinluan Palace.

Xiao Ding was in the crowd and also looked towards the group of people who came in.

I saw that the person at the front was a young man who was not tall, about the age of his early twenties, with a square face and a resolute face. He has a mustache on his lips, but his chin is smooth. The clothes he wore were similar to the costumes of several small Japanese people he had met on Qingyun Mountain before, all of which were placket robes.

The young man was followed by four Fuso samurai. As soon as Xiao Ding saw these four people, he immediately recognized them, wasn't this the same four little Japan who put him on the cliff that day? How did they get here?

It's just that none of them have knives on them today, and they must have been detained by the guards at the gate of the palace.

In the Imperial Palace, except for the Ouchi guards and the Imperial Forest Army, no one is allowed to enter with weapons.

Behind these people, there are more than a dozen Fusang women, all of them are as beautiful as flowers, enchanting, although they are not tall, but they are wearing kimonos, stepping on clogs, and taking broken steps in the inner figure, they are also very attractive to the eyes of hundreds of officials.

The short men who walked in front came to the foot of the steps of the main hall, bent down and bowed, but did not kneel, and the young man at the head said in broken Chinese: "Tian Ye Shiro, the prince of the Great Fusang Kingdom, meet His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Song Kingdom!" ”

The group of women who followed behind also bent their legs and bent over, their hands on their waists, fluttering with great blessings, and speaking in Fusang language that everyone could not understand.

As soon as the Manchu civil and military saw that the men did not kneel down to see the emperor, they were very angry, and whispered in private, saying that they did not understand etiquette in a small barbarian country.

The eunuchs who were waiting beside the emperor had also seen that these people did not kneel down to see the emperor, so they suddenly opened their mouths and said in a loud voice: "Why don't you kneel down and bow to meet the emperor of my family?" ”

The prince of the Great Fuso Kingdom, who claimed to be named Shiro Tano, listened to the eunuch's questioning, and hurriedly bent down and bowed again, saying: "In my Great Fuso Kingdom, when I meet the emperor, it is the highest etiquette in our Great Fuso Kingdom. ”

"That's your Great Fusang Kingdom, and when you arrive in our Great Song Kingdom......" The eunuch wanted to continue arguing, but Song Yinzi waved his hand to stop him.

Song Yinzi glanced at this group of people from the Great Fusang Kingdom, and then asked: "As far as I know, there is a vast sea between the Great Fusang Kingdom and my Great Song Kingdom. ”

Tian Ye Shiro bowed again, and replied: "Returning to His Majesty the Emperor, in the country of Dafusang, I have long heard that the people of the Great Song Dynasty are outstanding and beautiful, Zhong Lingyuxiu, and the land is rich and rich, and Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. Therefore, the big ship that followed the caravan came to the territory of the Great Song Kingdom, wanting to see the customs and humanities of the Great Song Kingdom, as well as the heroes and heroes. ”

In this era, the Great Song Kingdom did not officially begin to trade with foreign countries, and the caravans mentioned by Shiro Tano were actually caravans that were privately traded. Because the rule of law in this era was not perfect, and there was no explicit prohibition of trade with foreign countries in the national law, there was no one to manage the private wealthy businessmen who did international transactions in private.

Therefore, it was normal for Shiro Tano to come to the Great Song Kingdom on a merchant ship.

When Song Yinzi heard this, Tian Ye Shiro praised the Great Song Kingdom, and he couldn't help but feel a little proud in his heart, and said in his heart that my Great Song Kingdom has a territory of thousands of miles, how can it be comparable to you small barbarian countries? So he said: "In that case, then you only need to walk around the people and watch it, why did you come to my palace again?" ”

Tian Ye Shiro was not in a hurry, bent down and bowed again, and said: "As the son of the emperor of the Great Fuso Kingdom, I came to the Great Song Kingdom, how can I not come to the court to meet the monarch. At the same time, I have come here for several purposes. ”

When Song Yinzi heard this, he hurriedly asked, "Then tell me, what is your purpose?" ”

Shiro Tano turned around, pointed to the group of women behind him, and said, "The first purpose of my coming to meet Your Majesty this time is to give gifts to Your Majesty. In addition to some gold, silver and jewelry, I have also prepared for Your Majesty eighteen beautiful women of my Great Fuso Kingdom, all of whom are virgins, and I invite Your Majesty the Emperor to enjoy them slowly. ”

Xiao Ding in the crowd couldn't help but laugh in his heart when he heard what Tian Shiro said, and said in his heart that Song Yinzi's weak little body, now it's hard to say whether his four or five wives and concubines can take care of it, and he also got him eighteen Japanese chicks, this is simply wanting Song Yinzi's life!

I also heard that Shiro Tanano said that he had prepared gold, silver and jewelry for the emperor, but he didn't see it carried into the main hall, so it was probably too heavy and left outside the main hall.

Subsequently, Xiao Ding thought again, what is the purpose of this little Japan to please the emperor of the Great Song Kingdom by giving such a gift?
