Ma Yin, Ma Xun and other rebels were escorted to Jinling for trial on the tenth day of the first month of July, but on the third day after the rebels were escorted to Jinling, the holy decree of Emperor Tianyou was promulgated.

This is the punishment of the five tribes.

In addition to Ma Yin, Ma Xun's father and son, other rebels and relatives who were escorted to Jinling for trial were also beheaded.

For a time, more than 5,000 heads rolled to the ground in Jinling City.

Han Qian received a letter in Tanzhou, saying that after the centralized execution, it rained heavily in Jinling, causing all the streams and ditches that flowed through Xicheng to be red with the blood that flowed into the city.

The letter also said that Ma Yin had been taken to the Chongwen Hall before the clansmen were executed, and I don't know what Ma Yin said in the Chongwen Palace, so Emperor Tianyou temporarily changed the decree and ordered that a total of 37 people, including Ma Xun, the son of Ma Yin, be changed from beheading to splitting.

The letter newspaper described the execution process in detail, so many people were executed together, each person used two horses to lasso their armpits and hips, and then beat the horses and pulled them to the sides, slowly pulling their bodies to the limit, and then completely breaking them after a day of torture.

Ma Yuanheng surrendered out of the city after the fall of Yueyang City and the capture of the Ma family's father and son, and was not pardoned.

After receiving the letter, Han Qian had nightmares for three days in a row, dreaming that he was torn apart by a car in the city, his intestines were broken, and feces and urine were coming out, making him groggy and drowsy during his deliberations for days, like a lesion.

On July 30, Han Qian discussed matters in the afternoon, went back to his residence to rest for an hour, and learned that Shen He, the young eunuch of the Inner Servant Province who had come to Tanzhou to deliver the decree, was about to arrive at Yuelu Mountain by boat, and the third prince sent someone to ask him, Zhang Ping, and Chai Jian as representatives to rush to Yuelu Mountain to meet Shen He.

Han Qian hurriedly washed up, and rushed out of the city with Zhang Ping to Yuelu Mountain.

It was the end of July, the tail of summer in Tanzhou, and the weather was not so hot.

Shen He abandoned the ship and landed at the foot of Yuelu Mountain, changing cars and horses.

At the foot of the mountain, there was a breeze blowing from Xi Xi, but for Shen He, who had a sick face, it didn't work much, seeing Han Qian and Zhang Ping, who had a broken arm, standing in front of the shore to greet them, their official robes were soaked with sweat, but they trotted over with high interest, and arched their hands and said: "This time I want to congratulate Lord Han, Lord Zhang, and Lord Chai......

Before Shen He came over with the holy decree, Emperor Tianyou's reward for the three princes and the generals of the Dragon Bird Army was introduced to Tanzhou by the messenger Kuaima one step earlier.

Emperor Tianyou decided to follow the Xingtai system implemented in the early years of the previous dynasty, set up Hunan Xingtai, and governed the eight prefectures of Yue, Lang, Tan, Shao, Heng, Chen, Xu, and Yong, so that Yang Yuanpu served as the secretary of Xingtai and the military governor of Hunan Prefectures; The Xingtai Governance Office was located in Tanzhou, and Yang Yuanpu also led the history of Tanzhou Thorns.

In this way, the civil and military powers of the prefectures and counties on both sides of the Xiangjiang River and the Yuanjiang River, which were under the jurisdiction of the former Hunan Observation Embassy, were almost concentrated in one of the three princes.

In the future, Hunan Xingtai will serve as the highest military and political body at the local level on behalf of the Privy Council and Shangshu Province, with full authority to handle the post-war resettlement of Tan and Hubei Prefectures and the aftermath of the rebellion against Zhao Sheng and Luo Jia.

Yang Yuanpu was also named the king of Tan and the prince.

Shen Yang is the prince Fu and the leader of the left side of the stage, and Li Pu is also the leader of the right side of the stage.

After the expansion of the Dragon Bird Army, the left and right Dragon Bird Army will be set up, with Zheng Hui and Li Zhihe serving as the commander of the left and right Dragon Bird Army and the commander, and at the same time leading the Tanzhou Sima and Shaozhou Thorn History; Gao Chengyuan, Guo Liang, Zhou Yi, and Zhou Shu, who had outstanding military achievements and meritorious guards, served as deputy commanders and commanders.

Zhang Han, Gao Long, Miao Yong and other generals also contributed to the sacrifice of the city or the siege of the city and the land, and Xu was assigned to the Longque Army and awarded the middle and senior generals such as the Marquis of Duyu or the Marquis of Deputy Duyu.

Han Qian and his father took the initiative to write a letter requesting the abolition of the Wuling Army and the defense of the Wuling Army, and they were also granted, and Han Daoxun was awarded the title of Sanpin Sanguan and continued to serve as the assassin of Xuzhou; Tian Cheng succeeded Han Qian as the Sima of Xuzhou and the envoy of the state battalion.

Han Qian succeeded Zheng Hui and officially served as the advisor of the Tan Wangfu of Zheng Wupin, and Zhang Ping replaced Guo Rong, who had already been kicked out, as the Tan Wangfu Cheng.

The defense of the Wuling Army was abolished, and the Wuling Army was reduced to a state battalion, which was supported by Xuzhou's own money and grain.

Because of his merits, he inherited the tradition of the native surname in Chenzhou, and was able to inherit the positions of Sima and the envoy of soldiers and horses, but the post of assassin was held by another official of Jinling, which almost maintained the political ecology of Chenzhou before the war.

In addition to Xi Chang, Yang Qin, Feng Zhang and a group of others who continued to stay in Xuzhou, Han Qian also recommended Xi Xunqiao, Feng Xuan, Lin Haizheng, Gao Shao and others to serve in Tanwangfu; Xiying's son Xi Shepeng was also able to serve as a personal guard by the side of the three princes because of his extraordinary bravery.

A large number of civil and military officials such as Chai Jian, Zhou Yuan, Li Chong, Zhang Qian, Wang Lin, Han Chengmeng, Han Jianji, and Qiao Weiyan were promoted and appointed.

In addition to the title of official and knight, rewards are naturally indispensable.

However, this will be distributed according to the fields and goods confiscated by the Dragon Bird Army in Tanzhou and other places, and it will take a few days to wait for the three princes to issue a reward order.

The additional 500,000 yuan raised in the early stage was mainly used to reward middle and low-level generals with military merits, so as to stabilize the general's heart.

In addition to the rebels who had been sent to Jinling for trial and were finally executed, Tanzhou City also imprisoned a large number of middle- and low-level traitors, generals, and their families.

They were lucky not to be sent to Jinling for trial and escaped death, but the treatment they could enjoy was still completely different from that of Zhang Han, Gao Long, Miao Yong and others who took the initiative to surrender and made war exploits.

Compared with ordinary prisoners, the situation of these people is even more miserable.

Han Qian asked the Wuling County Lieutenant Zhou and the chief bookkeeper Zhao Jicheng and the family members of the two to go over and stay by his side.

In addition to the more than 25,000 elites of the Longque Army on the left and right, the eight states under the jurisdiction of Hunan Xingtai can also organize about 30,000 local state battalions, and the command power is also concentrated in the three princes who have the military power to supervise the states.

At present, Li Zhihe, Zheng Hui, Gao Chengyuan, Zhou Shu, Guo Liang and other major generals also lead the local state assassin history, state Sima, and division soldiers to join the army, and these state battalions are naturally responsible for the reorganization.

The soldiers and horses of the state battalions of the original Huangzhou and Jiangzhou were transferred north to Jingzhou, which was controlled by Zhang Jiao, the assassin of Jingzhou, to prevent the Liang army from attacking the defense line of Nanyang Fangcheng in the south at any time; And Zhang Feng, the son of Zhang Ben, was also promoted to the Sima of Jingzhou because of his merits, and led his troops to return to Jingzhou to prevent the war on the northern front.

Yang Zhitang, the king of Yuzhang County, will also lead his troops back to Yuanzhou and Hongzhou, so that the matter of attacking and suppressing the remnants of Zhao Sheng and Luo Jia will be fully handed over to the third prince Yang Yuanpu.

So far, the military and political power of the eight states under the jurisdiction of Hunan Xingtai is almost all concentrated in the three princes.

Zhang Ping had a crippled arm and was not good at riding, so he accompanied Shen He in the car.

Han Qian rode his horse and walked with the car, chatting about the customs and people of Tanzhou along the way, and also talking about the current affairs in Jinling, he saw Shen He sitting in the car, compared with two years ago, it was like shedding a few layers of shells, gray and thin, and his face was yellow, which confirmed his previous guess more and more.

The low-level eunuchs around Emperor Tianyou may be rotated continuously, but Shen He, as a young eunuch of the Inner Servant Province, has to accompany Emperor Tianyou at all times, and if there is a problem in the incense candle, Shen He will inevitably suffer.

Han Qian asked with concern: "Lord Shen rushed all the way over, it seems that he is a little unaccustomed?" ”

Shen He didn't care much, and said: "My body is fine in Beijing, I have been on the boat for a few days, and it is really bumpy, and this body is a little unbearable." If I hadn't just left Beijing and had symptoms, I would have suspected that I had contracted the miasma - I wouldn't have taken a boat when I went back to Jinling to kill me, and no matter how hard I worked, I would have ridden back. ”

Shen He doesn't look like seasickness no matter how he looks at it, it should be that the Anning Palace has another means to cover up the poison in Shen He, but it quickly appeared after leaving Jinling, Han Qian said: "Is it infected with the miasma, there are two subordinates who are good at medical skills, and they can treat Lord Shen tomorrow." ”

"That's good!" Shen He knew Han Qian's ability, and this body was really weak, even if Han Qian didn't mention it, he would have to find Lang Zhong to prescribe a few pairs of medicines to replenish his body when he went to Tanzhou.

"By the way, Your Majesty, has his old man been in good health recently?" Han Qian asked again.

No one would think that Han Qian had any ulterior intentions for asking this, but Shen He was still slightly stunned, and said after a while: "My Majesty has also been slightly ill these days before I left Jinling, but it is not very tight. ”

After all, Your Majesty is so old, and it is really normal for Han Qian, as one of the best advisers around the Third Prince, to pay attention to His Majesty's physical condition all the time.

Now that the third prince has become a trend, Shen He leaked some information, which can be regarded as a good sale.

When Zhang Ping heard this, he also frowned slightly.

After all, from Shen He's mouth, Emperor Tianyou's condition is slightly more serious than "occasional infection", but to what extent Emperor Tianyou's body is sick, they are inconvenient to ask, presumably Shen He will not say if they ask, but unfortunately there is no news from the concubine and the palace master.

In order to prepare for the war to cut down the feudal domain, they also drew too many people.

Han Qian didn't seem to have any intention of asking, so he forgot about it in a blink of an eye, and asked Shen He again: "Shu Lord Wang Jian's young daughter Qingyang County Lord is in Tanzhou with Changxiang Marquis Wang Yong, but her identity has not been made public, but Lord Shen has heard any rumors in Jinling?" ”

Wang Yong, the Marquis of Changxiang, has not yet gone to Jinling, but Shu really intends to marry, and should release the news first to test the reaction here.

Of course, Shu will only use this news to test the palace through the old people who have dealings, but the spies left in Jinling by Jinyunlou may not be able to find out, so Han Qian asked this question when he saw Shen He.

Shen He glanced at Chai Jian, who was riding a horse and followed behind, snorted, and said to Han Qian: "Some time ago, the concubine summoned Mrs. Xinchang to see the palace, and said that His Royal Highness was young in the past, and it was enough to marry the Marquis of Xinchang as a companion, but now that he has grown up, it should be time to accept the side concubine." However, whether the concubine is a Shu girl or not, Shen is not clear. ”

Han Qian glanced at Chai Jian, thinking that the Marquis of Xinchang had already heard the rumors, and secretly felt that although the concubine was very likely to be a member of the Shenling Division, her attitude towards the matter of the third prince marrying the side concubine may not be the same as Li Pu's.

The carriage and horse soon entered the Jiedu Embassy, and the third prince Yang Yuanpu had already led Shen Yang, Xinchang Marquis Li Pu and other generals who stayed in Tanzhou City, and placed incense cases in the front hall and waited for the order.

More than 300 guards of the family mansion stood under the steps in front of the corridor wearing bright armor, holding halberds in their hands, exuding a fierce cold glow.

More than a dozen bright maids stood in front of the main hall wearing bandeau skirts, and their jade arms and snow breasts added a bit of floating and luxurious atmosphere to the ceremony.

Yang Yuanpu wore a piping golden silk python dragon robe and led the generals to walk out, at this time, his face was childish, and his slightly thin cheeks seemed to be cut with a knife and axe, with a rare perseverance and calm bearing at his age.

Shen He announced in public, crowned the three princes Tan Wang, Hunan Xingtai Shangshu, and specially invited Changxiang Marquis Wang Yong to come over to watch the ceremony.

At this time, the county lord of Qingyang still appeared in front of everyone disguised as a man, but as long as people were not blind and knew that she lived separately from Changxianghou, he could guess her identity.

During this time, the county lord of Qingyang was very diligent in and out of the back house of the Jiedu Envoy, and got along with the three princes day and night, and the relationship also heated up rapidly, Han Qian suspected that if it weren't for the Marquis Changxiang's very boring staring, the three princes would have already done something wrong with the county lord of Qingyang.

This time, the county lord of Qingyang was specially arranged by the side of Changxiang Marquis Wang Yong, and Han Qian, who was standing behind Zhang Ping to receive the decree, could only see her slender snow-white neck, and secretly felt that after the third prince was crowned King Tan this time, Changxiang Marquis should be able to officially mention the marriage, right?
