No matter how the few bloody scholars of the government and the opposition reprimanded, in the following days, not only Gu Zhilong, Zhang Han, Zhou Bingwu, Zheng Xingxuan and most of the servants of the various ministries in Beijing, the superintendents of the temples, the deputy secretaries, the guards and the pro-army governor's office Du Yuhou, the governor, and the civil and military officials of the Privy Council, Zhang Chao who lived far away in Langzhou, Zheng Yu and Zheng Chang in Huangzhou, and even Yang Zhitang and his son who retired to Hongzhou, Yang Fan, who was demoted to Raozhou after the fiasco of Fanchuan River, commanded Zhao Zhen and Jiangxi, Jiangdong, Hunan, Jingxiang and other places, as well as most of the assassins of the forbidden army. The commanders and envoys of the Marquis of Du Yu and the military and political chiefs of the Marquis of Yu all successively expressed their opinions on the marriage of the Queen Mother and the unification of Liang and Chu.

Of course, above the court of Chu Ting, among the middle and senior generals, not all of them were willing to succumb to the obscenity of the Liang army and make such a brazen persuasion to marry and kiss.

Shen Yang's body was not as good as day by day, and he barely participated in the court meeting on the 26th, but after hearing Huang Huixiang and Zhou Qinian's words, as soon as the court meeting was dissolved, he had just stepped out of the Chongwen Palace, and he vomited another mouthful of black blood. Fortunately, the imperial doctor rescued him in time and did not die on the spot, but after that, he was completely sick in bed, and it was difficult to even get up, let alone participate in state affairs.

In addition to Xue Ruogu, Li Tang and Zhang Qian also served in the Prime Minister's Mansion and in front of Shen Yang's couch day and night, but they were afraid of stimulating Shen Yang, so they didn't dare to tell the news outside.

Du Chongtao, Guo Liang and others did not succumb to their will, but they still wrote to complain about their illness and resigned from their posts as the governor and deputy governor of the Waiting for the Guard's pro-army, making way for the surrender of the relatives.

After Yang En first advocated peace in the book, he was also ill and did not appear in the court again.

Now that the tone of the peace and affinity of the country has been set, the tension in Jinling City has also eased, and among the streets and alleys of the market, they are more interested in the fragrant romance between the Liang lord and the Empress Dowager Changxin.

Before, things that could only be passed on in private, at this time, the tea shops and wine shops couldn't help but talk about it publicly, and the more outrageous and mysterious it became, so that the rumor that the young emperor was an illegitimate child also became popular; Of course, many rumors, including Emperor Tianyou and Emperor Yanyou's suspicion of framing Zhongliang, also spread among the streets and alleys of the market.

At this time, no one stood up again, waving the stick of "great disrespect" and strictly forbidding it, and the foundation of Da Chu quietly collapsed......

…………

…………

The cold cicada alley is quite dilapidated, a heavy rain makes the alley muddy and the sewage flows, and the Shen family tea shop only has the defeated husband and pawn to come in to rest on weekdays, in addition to tea, it also sells a little tea.

The two thin old men, who seemed to have been drained of their last energy by the years, could no longer listen to these foul words circulating in the market, and staggered out.

Shen Yang, who was wearing a gray cloth robe, couldn't help but question Yang En at this moment:

"Da Chu is so completely collapsed, you are proud, you are worthy of the ancestors of the Yang family, do you still remember that you are a minister of Da Chu?"

Yang En tugged his thin hand into his sleeve and glanced at the clear sky with cloudy old eyes.

Although the sun was like fire, he felt a little chill in his bones, his pale and shriveled lips twitched a few times, and after all, he turned into an inaudible sigh, and left with the support of the old servant, and did not look back at Shen Yang again......

…………

On 2 June, the new court meeting raised by the Chongwen Palace made it clear that Cai Chen would temporarily act as the minister of the inner chamberlain, Gu Zhilong would temporarily act as the governor of the guards and the army, and Huang Huixiang would temporarily serve as the three of them, together with Zhou Bingwu and Yang Fan, the son of King Shou, who had been urgently transferred from the post of Raozhou Assassin to the Privy Council, and rushed to Liyang by boat to discuss the matter of the peace of the family, the abdication of the young emperor, and the annexation of Liang and Chu.

At this point, the overall situation of the peaceful annexation of Jiangnan and Lingnan has been decided.

The next thing to talk about is the placement of the Chu court's monarchs and ministers, the guards and the forbidden army with a total of more than 250,000 horses, the implementation of the new policy, and the division of new administrative regions; Of course, it also includes the details of the ceremony of the abdication of the young emperor and the wedding ceremony of welcoming Han Qian into Jinling and the Empress Dowager Changxin.

Gu Zhilong, Huang Huixiang, Zhou Bingwu, Yang Fan and others even if they don't want to be open-skinned and even more humble in front of the Liang monarchs, but when it comes to competing for interests, they still have to fight for every inch of profit.

Of course, they will not blatantly and directly strive for any interests for themselves, first proposed that Han Qianchan succeed the Great Chu Emperor, and the new dynasty will take Chu as the national name, and set its capital in Jinling.

Their reasons are also very appropriate, Sichuan and Shu are narrow, and they have always been "the world is not chaotic and Shu is chaotic first, and the world has been determined and Shu is undecided", and they rarely have the ability to really interfere in the overall situation of the world, but how to rule Jiangnan in the later period will be the top priority of the new dynasty.

Moving the new capital to Jinling will undoubtedly greatly strengthen the rule of the new dynasty over Jiangnan, and it will also better and faster integrate the people of Jiangnan into the new dynasty.

In addition, Han Qian was originally a Chuchen, and he was born along the Yangtze River, and there are many important ministers and generals in Daliang, and quite a lot of people are born in Jianghuai, and their roots are in Jianghuai.

In the future, the economic construction and development of the new dynasty will have greater potential for development along the Yangtze River.

Han Qianchan succeeded to the throne of the Great Chu Emperor, and the new dynasty took Chu as the country name and set the capital in Jinling, no matter how you look at it, the reasons are quite sufficient.

However, the choice of the imperial capital of the new dynasty in the south and the north had a fundamental impact on the local interests of the north and the south.

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

Gu Qian and Zhu Juezhong didn't have too much concern and entanglement in the battle for the national name, but they were resolutely opposed to the relocation of the capital to Jinling.

"In the past hundred years, the northern land has been destroyed by the war, and the climate is bitter and cold, the land is also barren, and the people's livelihood is poor, far less rich than the south of the Yangtze River," Han Qian saw that the two sides were still arguing over this matter in the first two rounds of secret talks, and saw that Feng Yi and others were shaken, so he stood up and made a final decision to avoid further entanglement on this issue, and said, "Everything needs to consider the balanced development of the people's livelihood in the north and south, and there is no need to talk about moving the capital, but Jinling can be separated as a directly governed government to ensure that Jinling's economy, The political position is not weakened to a certain extent......"

"Directly under the government?" Gu Zhilong and Huang Huixiang were a little confused.

How to rule Jiangnan in the future, Han Qian discussed with Feng Yi and Gu Qian for a long time.

If the Chu Jingzhao Mansion is merged with the land of Jiangdong to form the Jiangdong Province, it is not particularly large in terms of the vast area alone, but the population under the jurisdiction of this Jiangdong Province will exceed 7 million, accounting for one-fifth of the new dynasty, which is too terrifying.

Jiangdong has always been wealthy, occupying the most core water network system of the Yangtze River and Taihu Lake.

If the economic, political, and cultural center of gravity of Jiangdong continues to fall on Jinling, the political and economic bloc in the southeast formed with Jinling as the core in the future will inevitably be unique in the new dynasty, and it will even be suspected of being too big to fall, which will be extremely unfavorable to the new dynasty's rule over Jiangnan.

The plan that Han Qian thought of was to split Jiangdong.

Jinling Castle and the area of the former Chu Jingzhaofu were administratively equivalent to the provinces as directly under the central government, so as to continue to maintain separation from the rest of Jiangdong; In addition to Jinling, Su Runchang north of Taihu Lake, Yang Taichu in Jiangbei and Xu Sihai on the north bank of the Huai River and other prefectures independently formed Huaihai Province, and newly established Chongzhou Mansion on the north bank of the Yangtze River estuary as the capital of Huaihai Province.

The prefectures and counties south of Taihu Lake were newly established in southern Zhejiang, with Mingzhou Mansion as the capital.

In other words, the local forces in Jiangdong were divided into three major parts, divided and ruled.

In addition, according to the region, Jiangxi Province, Jingxiang Province, Hunan Province, Lingnan Province, Fujian Province and Xuzhou as the capital, will be Chenxu Siye and Guizhou Prefecture, the formation of a new Guizhou Province.

The placement of the guards and the forbidden army is relatively easy.

All the 250,000 generals and soldiers were repatriated to the cantonment military offices in various localities, and the cantonment military offices widely distributed in Jingzhao Prefecture and Zhuzhou were also directly changed to county and township departments, and the military households were converted into civilian households.

This is a benefit for the ordinary generals of the Chu army, and there will be no resistance.

The middle and high-ranking generals who offer the marriage table will be pardoned and will not be pursued for their past bad deeds and crimes, and their original salary and benefits will be retained. After the division of households, the land and houses occupied by each family exceed the limit of the law on the land of the country, and even a certain standard can be relaxed, and the surplus part will also be redeemed by the local government and the local government department, and will not be forcibly confiscated.

Middle- and high-ranking generals who did not offer a marriage form were first demoted to commoners, and those that exceeded the upper limit of the Juntian Law Decree were directly confiscated, and then a special agency was set up in the Supervision Office to conduct a special examination of whether they had committed bad deeds in the past.

Middle- and low-level officials, as well as military attachés of the guards and generals of the forbidden army, and those who have no bad deeds and evil deeds are reduced to one or two levels; Those who are not selected will also be placed according to the active duty and decommissioning of the girder.

Specific to individuals, Zheng Yu, Zheng Chang, Zhang Chao have not mentioned Zhishi, Zhou Bingwu, Zhang Pan, Gu Zhilong, Huang Hua, Huang Huixiang, Zhou Qinian and others will be in the transition period after the succession, however, Zheng Hui will remain in office as the deputy envoy of Lingnan Province, Zhang Feng, the son of Zhang Feng, and Zhou Nan, the son of Zhou Bingwu, all have generals, and Huang Xi, the son of Huang Hua, is in the prime of life, so he can first enter the General Office, and Gu Xiongchang, the son of Gu Zhilong, can enter the Political Yuan; The main military and political officials of the Jiangnan provinces will be directly appointed by Luoyang.

After the abdication of the young emperor Yang Bin, he will be named the Duke of Chu, accompanied by Zhang Ping to move to Luoyang and continue to wait; The imperial tombs of Emperor Tianyou and Emperor Yanyou will be preserved, and will continue to be cared for and repaired by Jiang Xu, Li Yao, Empress Dowager Mingcheng and Concubine Chu Palace.

The secret talks lasted for 18 days before ending, and on this day, Jing Qiongwen and Cao Gan rushed to Liyang by boat with the prince of Shu and presented a letter of surrender.

In any case, Liang Shu has always been an ally, and the relationship has always been extremely close, and it has not broken down due to various accidents.

Although the framework of the annexation of Sichuan and Shu is compared with the Chu State, for example, Chengdu Mansion will be separately set aside as the directly governed government of Luoyang, and other places will set up Sichuan and Shu provinces, such as the direction of the abolition of the forbidden army, etc., but except for the Shu lord Wang Yong who surrendered to the Duke of Shu and moved to Luoyang, Shu Chen was still treated much more favorably, Cao Gan and Jing Qiongwen were old, they all wanted to tell the old, Han Qian arranged mansions for them in Chengdu Mansion and Luoyang, and Cao Zhe and others will still be reused.

On the 21st, the young emperor Yang Bin issued an edict of abdication, and he himself moved from the Chu Palace to the Linjiang County Palace, where Emperor Yanyou lived before he ascended the throne, and he was still served by Zhang Ping's old people in the Chu Palace.

This day also officially announced the complete end of the Great Chu Dynasty and completely became history.

Han

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

Qian directly called the emperor in Liyang, the country name Daliang, but Han Qian did not change the year name, but directly issued an edict to make it clear that the first year of Taihe was the benchmark, and it was determined to be the first year of the new Han calendar, and it was continued.

Next, the 1st and 2nd Central Camp Army units crossed the Yangtze River one after another and took over the defense of Jinling and Yang, Tai, Chi, Run, Su, Chang, Xuan, She, Shu, Huang, Jing, Xiang, Fu, Sui and other prefectures on both sides of the Yangtze River.

By 18 July, the first batch of more than 200,000 Chu troops had been repatriated to their hometowns and reunited with their families after collecting their armor and carrying out preliminary reorganization.

…………

…………

Han Qian officially entered Jinling City on July 28 and held a peace ceremony.

On this day, the hottest summer and autumn have passed, even if the day is still hot, but after nightfall, the cool breeze is very pleasant.

After a day's ceremony, Han Qian was also quite tired after the banquet for the ministers.

Walking into Changxin Palace, looking at the big red wedding candles in the main hall, Qingyang was wearing a red phoenix pattern wedding dress embroidered with gold silk and sitting on the brocade couch.

After the ceremony, she covered her head again on the phoenix crown, and her vision fell into darkness, like a girl, completely unaware of what kind of life she would face.

Hearing the footsteps of Han Qian walking in and many palace maids retreating, she felt a little nervous inexplicably, her breathing tightened a little, and she straightened up to make herself look more calm.

Even if he hasn't seen each other for more than ten years, Qingyang still has a girlish and slender figure, but his chest and arms are more plump, and he also rises and falls with the gradual tightening of his breathing; The skin of the pink arms exposed on the outside of the half-arm robe is like a white wall, which complements the furrow exposed on the top of the undergarment.

Han Qian didn't take the golden pestle placed on the lacquer plate, he directly reached out and removed the cover of his head, seeing that there was still a trace of panic in Qingyang's eyes, he asked with a smile: "I have made a big gift during the day, and I have been talking and laughing with the ministers, why are you afraid of me at this time?" ”

“……”

After the rebellion in Jinling, Han Qian set off from Fanchang City to return to Xuzhou, in fact, since then, Qingyang has not seen him again, it has been fifteen years, and she was just nineteen years old when she was in Fanchang.

She feared that her memory would be skewed, and that she would inevitably be disappointed to find that it was not the person standing in front of her who would sometimes sneak into her dreams and make her body limp, hot, and damp.

However, at this moment, she found that the person in front of her was more heroic and more heart-warming than she had thought and thought in the past few years, and when his hand was gently caressed, there was an urge to snuggle up, as if there was a surging stream stirring and flowing secretly in the depths of her body.

She suddenly became shy again.

"What's wrong?" In Han Qian's impression, Qingyang always has a little bit of arrogance, and the shyness at this moment suddenly makes her style completely exude, and her beautiful eyes are like a spring spring to suck people's hearts and souls into it.

"Let's turn off the lights and rest......" Qingyang said delicately.

Although he said a lot of things during the daytime ceremony, he was not as soft and delicate as this moment......

…………

…………

In the early morning of the next day, Han Qian finally struggled to get up from the gentle township, and after dinner, he went to Chongwen Hall to act as the state minister, and he was about to call Li Zhihe, Feng Yi, and Gu Qian to summon Cao Gan and Jing Qiongwen into the palace, and finally confirmed that Zhao Qi and Zhu Zhen set off from Liangzhou and Yiling respectively, and led the troops to take over the defense of Sichuan and Shu and the details of Shu lord Wang Yong's move to Luoyang.

"What's wrong?" Seeing the complicated expressions on the faces of these people, Han Qian asked.

"Yang Hou passed away yesterday......" Huang Huixiang stepped forward and said.

"What? How did he die, was it an illness or an accident? Han Qian stood up and asked.

"I think I'm dead." Huang Huixiang said hesitantly.

"What is the should, what the hell is going on, you haven't figured it out?" Han Qian asked angrily.

"Yang Hou committed suicide by hanging the beam last night, and when the old servant pushed the door in the early morning and found it, his body was cold." Yang Fan gritted his teeth and went up and said.

After Han Qian sat down in the imperial case, he had planned to be busy with this festival and go to see Yang En again, but after all, he was still a step too late.

"Yang Hou died of illness in history?" Feng Yi asked hesitantly.

"......" Han Qian shook his head and said, "According to the facts, I asked Feng Yi to put down other things for the time being, and specialize in handling Yang Hou's funeral, and I will personally write the ...... of the sacrifice."

Speaking of this, Han Qian lifted the pen, the past was vivid, and he wrote Yang En's life word by word, and wrote an old poem from the previous dynasty at the end of the sacrificial text, "Er Cao's body and name are destroyed, and the rivers and rivers will not be wasted", and Gu Zhilong, Huang Huixiang, Zhou Bingwu and other probes looked over, and said: "You are 'Er Cao', Yang Hou is 'Jianghe'!" ”
