Chapter 773: Entering Xijing
Chang'an City was taken by the Dahua Army, and half of the troops remained outside the city, and only the elite henchmen were brought into the city.
The Praetorian Guard took over the palace city, emptied all the palaces inside, gathered all the original maids, eunuchs, etc., and then returned home.
There are many palace maids of the Sui Dynasty and the Tang Kingdom, and they are mixed, so they are all cleared and not used.
Luo Zhaoyun did not enter the city that day, because in Chang'an City, there were still many remnants of the Tang State, and the remnants of the army were mixed into the Lifang, which was not very safe.
After the Dahua elite entered the city, they thoroughly searched the remnants of the Tang army, and the rebels were killed on the spot, and those who surrendered were taken to the designated area for detention.
Two days later, Luo Zhaoyun, accompanied by the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs, entered Chang'an City.
The people of Chang'an have already learned of the announcement, so they welcomed it on the streets, and 100,000 people recorded the streets and alleys of the entire Suzaku Street to observe the arrival of the Dahua Emperor.
For the people of Chang'an, Luo Cheng is no stranger, because his reputation has always been very loud, in the past he was the lucky general of the Sui Dynasty, the young marshal of the Great Sui Dynasty, the young marshal of the Great Sui Dynasty, with great achievements, now in troubled times, self-established as the king, rising in the northwest, crushing all the way, conquering Longyou, Hexi and Guanzhong, making the west all the territory of Dahua, the power is strong, all are surprised.
All the people had a premonition that Dahua was going to rise, that there was a chance to unify the Central Plains, and that a new great dynasty was coming.
"Hurrah, hooray, hooray—" The people knelt on the ground and shouted, like a landslide and tsunami, which was extremely spectacular.
Luo Zhaoyun sat in the canopy car, which was made of iron sheets, which could prevent crossbow arrows, and the outside of the car was gorgeous, high up, showing luxury.
Arrived in front of the Imperial City Vermilion Bird Gate, some of the old ministers of the Sui Dynasty and the old nobles of the Chang'an Gate gathered a lot of people, kneeling on the ground and shouting long live, they came to support Emperor Dahua to settle in the palace and become the new monarch, when Li Yuan entered the city before, they were the same. The family of gate valves will always support the winner, so as to ensure that the family does not fall.
Luo Zhaoyun got out of the car to meet these noble family heads or clan chiefs, and listened to them shouting long live and expressing their allegiance, he smiled slightly, and accepted it, as for whether it will be reused in the future, it depends on the talent. He had the intention of taking the opportunity to weaken the nobles of Guanzhong and promote the scholars of his henchmen to become new nobles, so it was imperative to carry out a large-scale imperial examination.
In the past, he was just a small general, unable to control the government, but now that he is the emperor, he must consider all of them, how to suppress the old aristocracy, promote the new aristocracy, and give the poor some ways to enter the office, so as to ensure that the country is stable and talents come out in large numbers, rather than being monopolized by the gate valve, and the royal family will be restricted by the gate valve in the future, and there is a danger of being overhead and replaced at any time.
Luo Zhaoyun settled in the palace, passed through the Chengtian Gate, entered the main hall of the Taiji Palace, and convened the ministers of civil and military affairs.
Due to the new occupation of Chang'an City, far away from their own rear, Tianshui and Xihai County must strike while the iron is hot, and the Tang army that swept Jingzhao County must participate in stabilizing Jingzhao County, and at the same time, it is necessary to send troops to capture Hangu Pass and Tongguan Pass, and strangle the Central Plains soldiers and horses from entering the pass. In addition, Fengyi County west of the Yellow River, as well as Longmen Ferry, also need to be taken over and troops stationed in the pass, so that the pass is impregnable.
"Ladies and gentlemen, with your help, Dahua's strength has been consolidated, first gaining a foothold in the northwest, opening up Hexi, occupying the right side of Long, successively Ketubo, Xiliang, Western Qin, Liang, Tang, Turkic, and now the northwest and Guanlong regions are all my Dahua territory, and you have made great contributions!" After Luo Zhaoyun finished speaking, the military generals of Wenchen who were standing in Taiji Palace today were all proud and proud.
Luo Zhaoyun continued: "But the world is not unified, the Central Plains is in a melee, tens of millions of people are still in dire straits, and we need to relieve the suffering of the overhang, so we must guard against arrogance and rashness, we must develop and grow in Guanzhong, and then reorganize the army, store food, recruit troops and horses, expand the army, appease the people, stabilize the people's livelihood, issue an order to seek talents, and recruit talents from all over the world to serve in China, then great things can be expected!" ”
All the courtiers are full of excitement, and if they follow the right master, they will be invincible, make meritorious achievements, and achieve fame.
Military generals such as Qu Tutong, Hou Junji, Xue Wancheng, Chen Qi, Lai Hu'er, Guo Xiaoke, Mai Jicai and others, Wenchen such as Xiao Yu, Chu Suiliang, Du Ruhui, Yu Zhining, Su Jun, etc., these are all military generals with the army, and more people are scattered in various places, and they are all about to come to Chang'an City to listen to the seal.
Luo Zhaoyun looked at the abundance of talents in the palace, and he was also happy in his heart, who would have thought that in just a few years, he had gone from a few people in the northwest to now as one of the most powerful princes in the world, with hundreds of thousands of troops, which was enough to affect the division of the Central Plains and the change of dynasties.
"Hou Junji listened to the order and ordered you to lead 30,000 troops to conquer Hangu Pass, Tongguan, etc., clean up the eastern gate, and seize Xiongguan."
"Command!" Hou Jun gathered and listened to it.
"Xue Wanqian obeyed the order and ordered you to lead 20,000 troops, sweep Feng Yi County, cooperate with General Li Jing, advance north, take over Yan'an County and Diaoyin County, drive away the Liang army, and go north of the Great Wall."
"Command!" Xue Wanqian stood up to accept the emperor's order.
Luo Zhaoyun continued to point: "General Chen Qi, take someone to take over the city guards, Mai Jicai, you take people to guard the imperial city, and Xue Wanbei is responsible for the defense of the palace city!" ”
"The ministers have orders—" The three generals stood up to receive the order.
Next, Luo Zhaoyun sent people to draft an edict to transfer some civil servants from Zhuo County, such as Gao Shilian, Changsun Shunde, Wen Yanbo, and the eldest grandson Wuji, Gao Xiaoji, Xin Gongyi and others were transferred from Tianshui, so that it is good to carry out the operation of the imperial court.
Of course, there are also concubines and concubines in the harem, and they all have to come to Chang'an, canonize the queen and concubine, and officially implement the secret imperial system.
