Li Xiaofei chose Taichang Siqing as an official, there is a purpose, the place where Zhu Yaoshi built the ancestral temple is in the northern suburbs, and it is deserted for a long time, and it is obviously the altar of the ancestral temple, but in fact, a secret passage was dug to lead directly to the north gate.

To build his own ancestral temple and altar, Zhu Yaoshi was quite generous, the wood and stone bricks that Li Xiaofei asked for were all high-quality materials transported from the south, and he also knew that Li Xiaofei would probably make some money, but after all, it was not a military facility, and even the overseers were saved.

When Li Xiaofei took over the errand, he had already told Pharmacist Zhu that it would take a year to repair Pharmacist Zhu's ancestral temple beyond the previous dynasty, and Pharmacist Zhu was naturally a dragon-hearted delight.

In addition, Zhu Yaoshi had already sent He Wuji and Wang Tiezhu to join forces to go north to Luoyang, and the focus was on the war in the north, so he would not pay more attention to the construction of the temple.

This is the secret passage of the Ming Xiu Ancestral Temple, and Liu Jian in the west recalled Murong Ling, Chen Kuan and others to train on a large scale.

Some people also reported that Li Xiaofei defected to the enemy, but Liu Jian pretended not to know: "It's all rumors, Li Xiaofei is loyal, and he won't do anything about joining the enemy!" Don't report this kind of boring news to me in the future! ”

In Heren City in Mobei, Hu Gao rode back to the city alone, and met the guards sent by Kedun Hulu at the gate of the city and picked him up.

The guards brought Hu Gao to Hu Lu, and when Hu Lu saw that Hu Gao was much older, he couldn't help but shake his head: "National teacher, you are very resourceful, why don't you bring a soldier and a soldier into the city alone, there are many people in this city who want to harm you!" ”

Hu Gao stroked his beard: "If I had brought my entourage, I wouldn't have seen you today." So this one is risky! ”

Hu Lu beckoned Hu Gao to sit down: "The national teacher is really a master and does things unfathomably, and now I am the safest here!" ”

Hu Gao waved his hand: "No, Kedun, you have to send someone to report to the Great Khan immediately, otherwise the Khan will even suspect Kedun!" ”

Hu Lu immediately came to his senses: "You go and report to the Great Khan, just say that the national teacher has returned!" ”

Several attendants immediately went to report to Pajaqili, and Hu Lu then asked about the situation in the south of Hu Gao: "National Teacher, now that Hebei Guanzhong is in our hands, in your opinion, how should we plan next?" ”

Hu Gao smiled slightly: "The next step is to take a defensive position, rectify various domestic affairs, and re-establish friendship with other countries." Now we are enemies on several sides! ”

Hu Lu was a little puzzled: "Our army has won battles in a row, Zhu Yaoshi is far away in Jinling, the Liang State in the south is not with him, and the Green Flag Khanate has been seriously injured recently, even if they come together, we can deal with it." Is the national teacher too worried? ”

"The world is bustling, all for profit. As long as it is in their interests, everything is not impossible, and we are not in a monopoly now. The local government still has to rely on some small families to assist us in collecting food and soldiers, and our generals and ministers do not know how to manage the city and the people, and the internal troubles are more serious than the external troubles. Didn't I come back this time to settle the escape of the merchants in Heren City? ”

"What the national teacher said is reasonable, but when the national teacher saw the Great Khan and the generals, he still had to be careful, they all thought that the national teacher instigated the merchants to flee and lured the merchants to Xiangguo." Hu Lu reminded Hu Gao

"Well, when I come back this time, my first task is to make Heren City prosperous again. However, in the long run, Heren City is far inferior to the city of the Central Plains! ”

Hu Lu didn't quite understand: "What does the national teacher mean that as long as the national teacher is gone, these businessmen will flee again?" After the lesson of the last time, I don't think they dare to mess around again! ”

"No, the city of Heren is located in the remote north, and it has only temporarily become the royal court of our khanate, so it has temporarily prospered. In the Central Plains, Luoyang, Chang'an and Jinling, there are trade routes connecting various places, and it is very convenient to transport goods, and overseas merchants have also come. This is something we can't compare with Rencheng. So when the Central Plains is settled, the businessman will automatically go to Chang'an Luoyang to do business! Hu Gao patiently explained to Hulu, in Hu Gao's opinion, this Kedun Hulu was much more virtuous than Khan Pajaqili.

Before Hu Gao could continue to talk to Hu Lu, Pajaqili sent someone to summon the two of them to the main hall to discuss matters.

Hu Gao strode into the hall on crutches, looked around, and everyone was staring at him.

Hu Gao couldn't help but feel a little strange when he found that Old Master Lu was actually sitting at the front of the main hall.

Pajaqili walked down and supported Hu Gao: "The national teacher has worked hard for the Khanate, since the national teacher left, the widow humbly learned the system of the Central Plains, and asked Master Lu for advice, and now I finally understand the superb ability of your Central Plains people!" ”

Only then did Hu Gao find that Pajaqili was already wearing the Central Plains' gown, wearing a crown on his head, just like the style of the Central Plains Emperor, Hu Gao's eyes were full of doubts: "Great Khan, this is?" The old man is a little uncomfortable! ”

"Now you should be called Your Majesty, Your Majesty is devoted to the original system, and he is about to be called the emperor and the founding of the country!" Old Master Lu reminded on the side

Even though Hu Gao was resourceful, he couldn't accept all this in front of him, so he changed his words: "Your Majesty, please forgive your foolishness, dare to ask why Your Majesty suddenly converted to Sinology in the Central Plains?" ”

Pajaqili laughed: "Since the widow got Master Lu's guidance, he knows that the Emperor of the Central Plains is much better than the Great Khan of the Grassland, especially according to the Central Plains rules and regulations, we can collect taxes!" Officials can be appointed, and they can be made into trades! ”

Hu Gao didn't know what to say for a while, so he nodded: "Your Majesty is wise!" But Hu Gao didn't understand, none of these generals and elders objected, and this imitation of the Central Plains was too smooth, and he couldn't believe it at all.

Pajachili returned to the throne: "National teacher, it doesn't matter if you know that you have many doubts. Today's national teacher came back just in time, and the first thing to discuss today is the reopening of Fang City in Herencheng, presumably the national teacher must have a good countermeasure. ”

Hu Gao arched his hands: "A good countermeasure is not to talk about it, now it is nothing more than to post a list of words to appease, and then I will write a letter as a guarantee to all the merchants, of course, we have to compensate the merchants for their losses, and we will also reward the first ten merchants!" In this way, within three months, the city of Heren will be able to prosper again! ”

He Shun King Zadabere spoke: "It's so troublesome, it's better to send troops to arrest merchants from all over the world, and the market can be opened within a month!" ”

Ke Dun Hulu immediately retorted: "The birds that are forcibly captured will eventually fly away, and the guests who are forcibly left behind will only become enemies, and even if King Heshun arrests all the merchants of the country, there will still be no one to buy and sell!" ”

Old Master Lu also said: "Your Majesty is about to officially claim the founding of the emperor, and now is the time to subdue the hearts of the people, and it is really inappropriate for King Heshun to come so nonsense!" Merchants can voluntarily return to the trade, and then there will be more and more commercial taxes, and we can't do the thing of killing chickens and taking eggs! ”

The other generals also chimed in: "Yes, we can't scare people away this time, the people of the Central Plains cultivate and do business to govern the place, provide us with money and food, and we have to protect them!" ”

Pajaqili coughed: "This matter will be done according to the meaning of the national teacher!" Next, Master Lao and Master Lu will choose a country name for me! ”

Hu Gao hurriedly knelt down: "Your Majesty, the matter of the country name involves Your Majesty's ancestors and glory, and it cannot be easily changed!" ”

"You mean that Your Majesty is Yidi and can't be the lord of the Central Plains? His Majesty cultivates Wenzhi, imitates the Han law, is not different from the Central Plains, and the founding of the country is called the emperor, which is to encompass the four seas and enter the world! You Hu Gao is also a well-educated person, why are you so confused today? "Old Master Lu is in a very good spirit today, and it seems that everything has already been in his calculations.

Hu Gao immediately explained: "Your Majesty, the minister does not mean that Your Majesty cannot be the emperor, Your Majesty is wise and martial, of course, you can be called the emperor, and the minister means that some of the original systems of this khanate are not all without merit, and some things have to be retained!" For example, the dragon man has practiced riding and hunting since he was a child, and His Majesty took the lead in hunting and sharing the prey equally with the generals."

Before Hu Gao could finish speaking, an elder spoke: "Shut up, what you mean couldn't be clearer, only the people of the Central Plains can enjoy singing, dancing and music, and we fire dragon people should suffer from childhood?" So what are our soldiers fighting for? Will future generations continue to live a miserable life after we have the world? ”

Hu Gao somewhat understood, in the past half a year, these people have also seen the way of life in the Central Plains, eating exquisite meals, wearing comfortable clothes, and a place to take a bath. Sure enough, after a good life, I don't want to live a hard life anymore. In addition, Old Master Lu must have also given them some ideas that could make a quick profit, so these fire dragon talents will all ask to take the initiative to imitate the Central Plains system. Sure enough, it is a place of profit, and there is no way to go and it is unfavorable!

"You have misunderstood, I may not have expressed what I meant, but I want to say that our khanate's martial style cannot be lost, not that we will not let everyone live a good life. Of course, good days have to be lived, and they must be passed as much as possible! ”

Pajaqili clapped his hands when he saw that he was a little far away: "Everyone is loyal, there is no need to fight, the main topic now is to agree on the name of the country, the widow thinks that this Han Dynasty is the strongest, it is better to take Han as the name of the country!" ”

All the generals agreed, and Old Master Lu coughed and waved his hand: "Our army rose in Mobei, and now it is about to replace the Liang State. I think it's better to use the ancient country name Yu Guo as the country name, which also just shows the meaning of virtue with ancient and modern! What does Your Majesty think? ”

Pajaqili didn't understand this, and pretended to think about it for a while: "Okay, Master Lu is worthy of being called a saint, so he will make Yu Country the name of the country!" Do you have any objections? ”

Hu Gao didn't pay attention to these originally, but seeing that everyone had been looking forward to it for a long time, he also echoed: "Your Majesty's virtue is worthy of the past and the present, and with Yu Guo as the name of the country, the world will return to the heart, and all countries will come to the court!" ”

Pajaqili triumphant: "Okay, then from today on, there will be no Black Flag Khanate, only this Dayu Kingdom!" ”

"Long live Yu Guo, long live the emperor! Long live the emperor, long live, long live! ”

The palace cheered together, waiting for the emperor of Yu to be rewarded.

Sure enough, it didn't disappoint everyone, and Wang Huizhi, the proud disciple of Old Master Lu, read out the edict that had been prepared a long time ago:

"Feng Zadaber is the general, open the government and build teeth!"

"Closed to the general of the chariot and cavalry, the opening of the government and the construction of teeth"

"Feng Lu Yin is the prime minister, open the mansion and build teeth, go to the temple with a sword, and praise and worship the name" This old master Lu wanted to follow the new dynasty, so he changed his name Lu Yin.

"Feng Hu Gao is the captain, open the mansion and build teeth!"

"Seal the residence without governance as the general of the expedition to the west, open the mansion and build teeth!"

"Feng Wang will be the order of Shangshu, open the mansion and build teeth!"

A long list of rewards was read for half an hour, and everyone rejoiced. Only Hu Gao became more confused the more he listened, and the later Peng subordinates and Lang officials turned out to be all from the Central Plains, and many people who had made military exploits were not among the rewards, and there were even many in the main hall.

What a weird thing!
