"And!" Zhang Lingyang said, "The evidence of the second prince of Goryeo wantonly slaughtering my Great Zhou caravan is conclusive, and I sent a decree to Han Xiao, instructing him to escort the second prince of Goryeo back to the capital in the shortest possible time. ”

"Then I don't know how the second prince of Goryeo will win?" Jung Yong-gi asked.

"Naturally, it's beheading!" Zhang Lingyang looked at Zheng Yongji, "Is there anything else to say?" ”

"But Your Majesty!" Zheng Yongji said, "The monarch of Goryeo has written to the imperial court several times before, and if the second prince is beheaded, he is only afraid that the Goryeo kingdom will ......."

"What can I do over there?" Zhang Lingyang said disapprerovitically, "Goryeo is a small country, and he dares to go against me?" ”

"I don't dare!" Zheng Yongji said, "But in this way, it will inevitably affect the relationship between the two countries!" ”

"You don't care what the people of Goryeo will think, you just need to remember to judge according to my Great Zhou law. If Goryeo has any opinion on this, let him hold it back! ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

"And there's more!" Zhang Lingyang turned to look at Ma Jinzhong and said, "The military pavilion must recruit enough soldiers to replenish the Liaodong Metropolitan Division within half a year.

As for those generals who participated in the rebellion, no matter what their relationship with the DPRK and China, they should be dealt with in strict accordance with military law, and there must be no slackness! ”

"Wechen obeys!"

"The matter of Liaodong is just a trivial matter, now the main strategy of the imperial court is still aimed at several countries in Central Asia, within this year, the road to the countries of Central Asia must be completed, and in addition, the garrison, arsenal and other logistics facilities of my Great Zhou army in Central Asia must be prepared, there must be no mistakes!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

For the imperial court, the matter of Liaodong is just a small episode, and now the most important strategic deployment of the imperial court is still in Central Asia, which is the bridgehead for the future Great Zhou to attack West Asia, so Zhang Lingyang cannot afford not to pay attention to it.

After saying this, it was already noon.

After looking at the time, Zhang Lingyang said: "It's noon now, you don't have to leave the palace, just eat with me here, let's talk while eating." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Zheng Yongji and Ma Jinzhong dared to say anything else, they both nodded yes.

At this time, Xiao Fuzi whispered in Zhang Lingyang's ear: "Long live Lord, Ning Guocheng is waiting outside the palace!" ”

"Oh? What is he going to do? Zhang Lingyang asked strangely.

"I think I'm worried about His Royal Highness the Prince, so I listened to His Royal Highness the Prince's answer outside the palace!"

Hearing this, Zhang Lingyang bowed his head and said, "Since this is the case, let's invite Ning Guogong to come in and dine together!" Speaking of which, the reason why the Liaodong Rebellion was quickly pacified this time was all due to Ning Guogong's precautions, otherwise he might have to wait for when! ”

"Yes, long live the lord, the slave will go out and invite Ning Guogong!"

In response, Xiao Fuzi hurried out of the Chen'an Palace.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he walked out of the Chen'an Palace, Xiao Fuzi saw that there was only an empty stool left outside.

Seeing this, Xiao Fuzi hurriedly asked the little eunuch waiting outside the hall, "Where did Ning Guogong go?" ”

The little eunuch replied: "If you go back to Father-in-law Fu, the old man of Ning Guo left long before the half-pillar incense time, saying that he was weak in his body, so he didn't resign to Father-in-law Fu!" ”

After listening to the words of the little eunuch, Xiao Fuzi turned around and returned to the hall to tell Zhang Lingyang that Sun Ding'an had already left.

Hearing this, Zhang Lingyang said: "Since this is the case, let him go." After a while, you can go to the treasury and pick up some good items and send them to Ning Guofu, even if it is my reward for his meritorious service in Liaodong this time! ”

"Slaves obey!"

Sun Ding'an, as one of the three dukes, is also the title of the duke, and his position is already the top existence of the Great Zhou, so if he wants to add an official to the knighthood, there is no reward for him, and there is nothing to give, so Zhang Lingyang can only reward him in terms of money and other aspects, which can be regarded as a talk about his heart.

After a while, the lunch was fully placed, and while eating, Zhang Lingyang asked Ma Jinzhong and Zheng Yongji about some things in government affairs and military affairs.

After a few bites of food, Zhang Lingyang put down his chopsticks, looked at Ma Jinzhong and said: "It can be seen from the affairs of Liaodong that there are still big loopholes in the army's system. After you go back, you and the other members of the military cabinet must have a good discussion, and you must further improve the military system to prevent the Liaodong incident from happening again. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Ma Jinzhong hurriedly put down his chopsticks, stood up and replied.

"No need to be so polite!" Zhang Lingyang waved his hand and motioned for Ma Jinzhong to sit down and continue eating.

It wasn't until Ma Jinzhong sat down that Zhang Lingyang asked Zheng Yongji: "I heard that Zheng Anmin, the Liaodong inspection envoy, has something to do with you?" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Zheng Yongji was not as restrained as Ma Jinzhong, and when he saw Zhang Lingyang asking, he put down his chopsticks and replied, "Zheng Anmin is the younger brother of Weichen, who served as the director of the Ministry of Rites three years ago, and later His Majesty established the Inspection Department. ”

"Your brother is really good!" Zhang Lingyang nodded and said, "In this way, the current situation in Liaodong is not very stable, and he is still inseparable from him for the time being, you send someone to tell him in private, so that he can do things in Liaodong with peace of mind, and when his term of office expires, he will be transferred to the DPRK and the Central Committee!" ”

"Weichen thanked the emperor for his brother!" Zheng Yongji was overjoyed when he heard this, although Zhang Lingyang did not explicitly say that Zheng Anmin would have any position in the DPRK and the Central Committee in the future, as long as there were no accidents, it was certain that he would be promoted to a higher level.

"In addition, there are Jinzhou and Fuzhou two guard commanders, who have made great contributions in this Liaodong rebellion, and the imperial court must be rewarded, and after going back, the cabinet and the military cabinet will discuss it carefully to see whether it is promoted or promoted!"

"Although the six guards of Liaobei are not Han people, they have also made a lot of efforts to quell the Liaodong Rebellion this time, and when it is time to reward, the court must not be stingy, and they can't be suspicious because they are not Han Chinese, which is not good. They are also my people of the Great Zhou, and they are rewarded according to their merits, and they will be given whatever kind of rewards they deserve, and there can be no discrimination in the slightest, you know? ”

"Wechen understands!"

"There is also the commander of the Tieling Guard, Wu Sanyao, who defected before the battle, although he made a big mistake before, fortunately, he woke up in time, so he didn't cause a big disaster, and he shouldn't be punished heavily." Zhang Lingyang continued, "In this way, the military pavilion will issue an edict to reduce Wu Sanyao to a thousand households, transfer him to Central Asia, and confiscate half of his family property as a punishment, even if it is a punishment for him!" ”

"Zhao Chenfeng is dead, and it stands to reason that all the men in his family will be executed, and the female dependents will be filled into the teaching department. But in the end, Zhao Chenfeng was born in the royal family, and I didn't want to punish him more, so I confiscated all his family property, and all the adult men were sent to serve in Siberia, and the female dependents and minor men were all taken to Luoyang to be imprisoned, and they were never allowed to go out! ”
