After the will reached Kunlun County, Zhao Ji secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

She bet right, the emperor of Xia can use their orphans and widows, and it is better to take the initiative to bow down and be a vassal than to forcibly destroy them, which is conducive to subsequent governance.

Subsequently, Zhao Ji immediately packed up her things, took Chang Yu, and under the escort of the forbidden army, carried the little emperor to the Qin capital.

At the same time, the soldiers and horses of Li Cunxiao and others were also stationed in Kunlun County, and they took the last county of the Qin capital without much effort, and so far, the Qin State was completely in the hands of Great Xia.

Half a month later, Zhao Ji's carriage and horse entered the Qin capital and came to the palace.

Looking at the once familiar palace, now it is extremely unfamiliar, and the world has changed here.

With a deep sigh, Zhao Ji got out of the carriage with the little emperor in her arms, and Chang Yu served by her side.

In the palace, Xiao Rui was reading a book, Wang Dazhi came to tell Zhao Ji and the little emperor that they were outside the noon gate, Xiao Rui nodded, and ordered someone to summon him.

After a while, Zhao Ji and the others in the Golden Palace, she secretly glanced at Xiao Rui above, and this look was shocking.

Handsome and majestic, Zhao Ji didn't dare to look at it more, and lowered her head in a panic. Can he become the emperor of Great Xia, can he destroy the state of Qi and Qin, will he be an ordinary emperor?

Such a man is really mouth-watering!

"Zhao Ji and his courtier Qin Lin, knock on the Emperor of Great Xia, long live Your Majesty, long live, long live!" Zhao Ji knelt down with the little emperor in her arms, not daring to get up.

The little emperor was still in swaddling clothes, sleeping soundly, and he didn't know the situation at all.

Chang Yu knelt aside, and didn't dare to raise his head, his heart was like a cat scratching now, it was he who killed Qin Zheng, what about the position of marquis promised by His Majesty, when will it be honored. But he didn't dare to ask, so he could only endure it in his heart, and wait for someone to contact his cousin Wang Dazhi afterwards to find out.

Xiao Rui stretched out his hand and said with a smile: "Flatten!" You take the initiative to be a minister, I will not be stingy with rewards, I will draw up a decree, canonize Qin Lin as the king of worry-free, you are a good lady, go to Kyoto in the future to enjoy life, and live a good life. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward!" Zhao Ji bowed respectfully, and then took out an edict from his bosom.

Wang Da presented it directly to Xiao Rui.

This is the last edict issued by Great Qin, and it is an edict of abdication, announcing to the people of Qin that the Great Xia Emperor is the only emperor, and there will be no Great Qin from now on.

Looking at the bright red jade seal of the Great Qin Kingdom, Xiao Rui smiled.

At the same time, a system prompt sounded in Xiao Rui's mind: "Ding Dong... Congratulations to the host for destroying the Qin State, one step closer to unifying the Divine State, and the reward will come three times! I hope the host will continue to work hard! ”

The smile on Xiao Rui's face was even stronger, three comings, now the system doesn't give him a task at all, so the chance to come depends on destroying the country.

After coming back to his senses, Xiao Rui said again: "Chang Yu stays, you can retreat." ”

Zhao Ji's body stiffened, and she looked at Chang Yu next to her in shock.

How did the Emperor of Great Xia know that he was Chang Yu? Chang Yu has cheated to death, and Chang Yu's entry into the palace is top secret, why does the Great Xia Emperor know?

Zhao Ji wanted to see something from Chang Yu's face, but unfortunately Chang Yu's face did not change and did not look at him at all, so Zhao Ji had no choice but to retreat respectfully.

After Zhao Ji left, Chang Yu knelt on the ground and said, "Slave and maid, meet Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty!" ”

Xiao Rui nodded and said with a smile: "Chang Aiqing, I heard about your merits, and you did a very good job!" ”

There are three main reasons why Great Xia was able to deal with the Qin State so quickly.

The first, and most important, is naturally the disaster of the Xiaoice period.

The influence of the Xiaoice River period was too great, seriously depleting the strength of the Qin state, and also led to serious class contradictions, the people were not able to make a living, and lost trust in the country.

The second, naturally, is the strength of Great Xia.

Great Xia had a powerful army, advanced weapons, and a resourceful and brave commander, Han Xin and his soldiers risked their lives to capture the three passes of the Qinling Mountains, creating conditions for the capture of Qin. If you can't take the three passes of the Qinling Mountains, Great Xia has to take the Dongqi region first, and then attack Qin, so it will take a long time, and it is not so easy to unify Shenzhou within three years.

The third reason is that after the death of Emperor Wu of Qin, Qin's internal turmoil, and the rebellion of the two kings made the situation of Qin more chaotic, accelerated its destruction, and also consumed Qin's troops.

Therefore, Xiao Rui's praise for Chang Yu's contribution is not small, after all, it was he who participated in and led the killing of Emperor Qin Wu, and this credit alone is enough for Xiao Rui to reward him.

Hearing His Majesty's praise, Chang Yu was overjoyed, and his heart immediately settled down. Your Majesty has said this, are you still afraid that Your Majesty will not reward you?

"Your Majesty, this is what a slave and maid should do, as a Daxia Erlang, it is the wish of a slave and maid to serve the country loyally." Chang Yu replied respectfully.

Xiao Rui said: "I am very conscious, I will not treat meritorious ministers badly, this time I took the Qin capital, you and the generals have the same merits, I will make you the Marquis of Changxin!" ”

Chang Yu was overjoyed, and hurriedly kowtowed to thank him: "Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you, Your Majesty!" ”

Then, Chang Yu retired with joy.

Although Chang Yu is insidious and treacherous, Xiao Rui will not be stingy with him as a marquis, and it is indeed of great use to come to him by himself.

This time to take the Qin capital, the commanders of the Eight Roads have worked hard and made great achievements, plus they are all ministers of Conglong, and they are all confidants, Xiao Rui, as the emperor, must be rewarded for meritorious deeds, and he must be rewarded heavily, so he can't chill their hearts.

So Xiao Rui personally drafted the purpose:

"Han Xin, the general of soldiers and horses, is the Marquis of Huaiyin and confers the post of hussar general!"

"Feng Po Cap General Li Cunxiao is the Marquis of Shenwu and awarded the post of General of Zhenguo!"

"General Feng Poyu raised Youji as the Marquis of the Divine Arrow, and awarded the post of General of the Auxiliary State!"

"Feng Po Captive General Chen Qingzhi is the Marquis of Wuwei and awarded the post of General Anguo!"

"Feng Po Captive General Yue Fei is the Marquis of Wu Mu and awarded the post of General of the Protector of the Country!"

"Feng Poyu General Dian Wei is a loyal military marquis, and he is awarded the post of General Zhaoyong!"

"Feng Po General Qi Jiguang is the Marquis of Wu Yi and awarded the post of General Zhaoyong!"

"Feng Po General Gan Ning is the Marquis of Wu Hui and awarded the post of General Zhaoyong!"

"Feng guerrilla general Huo Qubing is sick as Jing Huanbo, and he is awarded the post of General Zhaoyong!

Xiao Rui personally drafted the rewards of the nine commanders, they are descending figures, and their loyalty can be guaranteed, so Xiao Rui does not have to worry about the rewards being too heavy, which will cause them to support their own troops in the future.

Moreover, it is of great significance to take down the Qin State and attack the Yuan State, and the next Yan State and Wei State will not be a problem, so the marquis of them can also improve their morale.

As for Huo Quai's title, Xiao Rui did not give him the title of marquis, but an earl, not that Xiao Rui despised it, but attached importance to it. Because Xiao Rui has already said to the outside world that Huo Qubing can inherit the loyalty of the champion marquis, his marquis has been decided, and only the champion marquis can be worthy of him.

Hitting the Yuan army is not enough to make him a marquis, he is still short of a big victory that shocks the world, don't worry, it will be soon.

In the end, it was Feng Changyu who was the marquis of Changxin.

I believe that once it is announced to the world, Chang Yu's deeds will also be revealed, and it is quite interesting to think about it, how will the Qin royal family, who have already been called ministers, retaliate against Chang Yu?

As for Zhang Liang, Jia Xu, Xiao He and others, Xiao Rui will not be rewarded directly, but will be temporarily retained, accumulating more credit and reputation for them, and then Xiao Rui will make them extremely popular ministers and become the head of civil ministers.

Next, Xiao Rui drafted the second holy decree: "Canonize the founding of Sichuan as the envoy of the Western Qin Festival and govern the counties of the Western Qin!" ”

This loyal and righteous man who was incognito for the sake of Great Xia, Xiao Rui was definitely not stingy, and directly named him the envoy of the festival, and like Zhang Liang, he governed the Western Qin counties for himself.

The third holy decree is to appease the Qin people and implement benevolent government.

So in the next few days, Xiao Rui sat in the Qin Palace and rectified the Western Qin counties.

Two months later, the weather turned cooler, and it had been a year since Xiao Rui left Kyoto, and time passed so fast.

The counties of Western Qin have restored order, and there is no need for Xiao Rui to continue to sit in the town, and Han Xin, Gan Ning, Chen Qingzhi and others can be stationed here with 700,000 troops, so they can sit back and relax.

Xiao Rui then set off for Beijing.

It's been a year since I came out, and I really miss my ladies, if you still drive in person next time, you have to bring Azhu with you.

After returning to Anxi for more than a month, Zhang Liang and Xiao He still had to preside over the work of Anxi Prefectures, so they did not return to Kyoto with Xiao Rui. In addition, Yang Youji and Qi Jiguang stayed here, and there were 700,000 troops.

Li Cunxiao and Yue Fei returned to the Anbei border pass to prevent the Yuan army from attacking.

Xiao Rui led the soldiers and horses, under the protection of Dian Wei, Li Yuanfang and others, and continued to set off.

When I returned to Kyoto, it was already a cold winter, and the third year of the first year was coming to an end. When His Majesty returned to the city, he should have cleaned the streets to avoid a mix of assassins, but this time the royal expedition won a complete victory, which was a day for the people of Daxia to sing and dance, so Xiao Rui ordered not to clean the streets, and allowed the people to welcome them.

When Xiao Rui's Luan drove into the city, the people who welcomed him knelt on the mountain and shouted long live, they could eat and drink enough, they could wear warm cotton clothes, and the people from poor families could afford to read books, all of which were the work of His Majesty. Nowadays, although disasters are frequent, the Great Summer is thriving, and the people are naturally grateful.

Back in the palace, Li Mingchong and his hundred officials had been waiting for a long time.

Xiao Rui stepped off the Luan car, and the civil and military officials bowed to salute.

Xiao Rui ordered hundreds of officials to be exempted, and then moved to the Baohe Hall to open the noon court.

After a year's absence, he went to court again, and the civil and military officials knelt down in an orderly manner, waiting for His Majesty to ask.

Xiao Rui inquired about the situation in Daxia, especially the lives of the people, and Fang Xuanling had already prepared the data and handed over a satisfactory answer.

Today's Great Summer, the south still has three harvests a year, but because of heavy rains, floods, and heavy rains, the three seasons of harvest a year can be left for more than one season of harvest after removing the loss and use, so every household has a surplus grain.

In the north, there are only two crops a year, and the winter is cold, so the cultivation of wheat and rice is reduced and the cultivation of sweet potatoes, potatoes and corn is reduced, and the new crops are highly yielded, so they can keep grain for the rest of the year.

It should be mentioned that Zajia rice has been promoted, and the high-yield yield does not need to be publicized by the imperial court, and the people are scrambling to plant it. In addition, when Xiao Rui was driving the expedition in person, the ships of the seafaring trade also returned to Great Xia, and this time they not only brought back spices and gems, but also brought back white pigs.

The household department has promoted the cross-breeding of white pigs and local black pigs, and has promoted the value of pork through the imperial court to the benefit of the common people.

In addition, the full liberalization of coal mines has made the coal production of Daxia increase rapidly, and the current price of coal is very low, as low as tens of Wen a catty, which has also brought benefits to the people of Daxia to survive the cold winter.

Next, the other five departments also reported their work, Xiao Rui listened carefully, and a noon court lasted for two hours before it ended.
