Chapter 239: The Secret of the Surname
This order, not to mention Liu Dafu, even the queen sitting next to him was surprised.
I'm afraid that before this, no one would have thought that the sacrifice of prisoners that had been arranged would have such a big turn.
And this turning point only came from the thoughts of His Majesty the Emperor.
One word to determine life and death, one to decide ten thousand!
After Yang Mu gave this order, he didn't care.
The rest, naturally, has the Criminal Department, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the Ministry of Rites to deal with it, and he only has to wait for one thing - Emperor Shengguo to negotiate.
The purpose of killing chickens is to honor monkeys, and the monarchs and ministers of Sheng Guo are the timid monkeys.
Even if these monkeys were not small, but in the battle a year ago, they were indeed frightened by Cangguo.
This time, it's just a matter of adding some fierce medicine.
As an emperor, Yang Mu has nothing to scruple about, those emperors who have been respected throughout the ages in history, have they done less such things?
The winner is the king and the loser is the thief, this is an eternal truth, many ordinary people are tortured worse than this, who will sympathize with them?
You can't feel miserable because of his higher status as the monarch and minister of the Dong Kingdom.
From another point of view, the monarchs and ministers of the cave country have enjoyed privileges, but now they have failed, and they are just losing the game and paying the price for the enjoyment of the past.
Because the palace punishment was too cruel and there was nothing to look at, Yang Mu took the queen and left first, and handed over the rest to a few courtiers to do, and then came to the palace to hand over the decree.
I don't know, what is it like for Sheng Guojunchen to receive this special gift?
There are only two ways to go, either to negotiate peace or to resist to the end.
However, does Sheng Guo dare to resist to the end?
Judging from the current military strength, the Sheng army does not even have the courage to set up a battle, and it is impossible to compete with the Cang army before it has a large-scale cavalry.
How easy is it to develop a large-scale cavalry?
First of all, there must be war horses.
If a cavalry is formed according to the number of the Qilin army of Cangguo, it will take 50,000 war horses.
This is not a small number, and because of the loss of the opportunity, it is almost impossible to find 50,000 war horses in the country at once.
Even if you have enough war horses, it is not easy to train a group of qualified cavalry, after all, cavalry is not infantry, it takes a long time to train, even if the Qilin Army has a lot of theoretical guidance and war weapon support, and finally trained for seven or eight months, after the baptism of a big war, it gradually matured.
The Qilin army is like this, not to mention the Sheng Kingdom, where even weapons are rubbish, if it is a few thousand cavalry like before, it is estimated that it can be wiped out with one blow.
Therefore, in such a predicament, Sheng Guo can only choose peace talks.
In this way, the operability is greater.
Sheng Guo's foundation is empty, and it is naturally no longer able to resist the large-scale attack of Cangguo, as long as it loses slightly, it will collapse like a.
It was precisely because he was thinking about these things that on the way back to the palace, Yang Mudu looked pensive.
This made the queen wonder a little, why did His Majesty stay out of state today?
"The concubine has an appointment with Concubine Nuo's sister, and they will go to Ruizhu Palace to play together in the afternoon, do you want to go?" The queen asked.
"Ruizhu Palace?"
"Your Majesty has forgotten that last time Jun'er was one year old, His Majesty said that he would give him a big gift." The queen reminded.
Gift......
Well, I've been busy dealing with state affairs these days, and I've delayed this matter.
In fact, the so-called gift is to fulfill the original promise to Concubine Nuo, to give Shencheng to the eldest prince Yang Jun as a food, which can be regarded as an explanation to the old nobles of Shenguo.
Originally, according to the current situation in Cangguo, Yang Jun, the only son, already had the qualifications to become the crown prince, but considering that Yang Mu was in the prime of life and the little prince was too young, the infant mortality rate of children in these years was still quite high, and even the royal family could not be spared.
For this reason, don't say that Yang Mu doesn't have this mind, even if he does, the courtiers will oppose it.
"Your Majesty, the person sent to the Su Nu Sect a few days ago has returned." The queen shouted from the side, but stopped talking.
"Oh? How so? ”
Yang Mu tried his best to show that he didn't care, he was afraid that the queen would think too much, if it was really as he guessed, then the blow would be too big.
"In the Su Nu Gate, there are some records of the heirs of the Changchun Emperor back then, after practicing Changchun Gong, the Changchun Emperor still has children, and after the Changchun Empire was divided, those five emperors were the last heirs of the Changchun Emperor."
"Both?"
Yang Mu paid attention to a different point, the founders of the five major dynasties were all the last descendants of the Changchun Emperor?
You must know that the history after the death of the Changchun Emperor is very mysterious, even the major vassal states are rarely recorded, Daqing, Dali, Datong, Dade, Dahong, these five dynasties exist in the world.
Before, Yang Mu only knew that there were these five dynasties, but he never thought that the founders of these five dynasties were all the heirs of the Emperor Changchun!
The royal family of the Dali Dynasty is surnamed Ji, which means that the royal family of the other four dynasties is also surnamed Ji?
"Queen, do you also have the surname ......?"
"Yes, the concubine was originally the eldest princess of the Datong Dynasty." The queen nodded, a trace of sadness flashed in her eyes: "However, the traitorous ministers have usurped the throne, and now the concubines are homeless, and the royal family of the Datong Dynasty has been slaughtered, and it is no longer what it used to be." ”
"Your surname is Ji?"
The queen nodded, then shook her head again, and explained: "The surname Ji began from the period of the Emperor of Changchun, because there are many people, so it is a big surname, and generally after the prince is crowned queen, he will open up a clan with a title, such as Ji's surname Liu, or Ji's surname Zhao, etc., and the surname Ji can only be used by the emperor and the prince's direct line or underage emperor." ”
"Then the ancestor of your Datong Dynasty, what did you change your surname to later?"
"Ji's surname is Gu. However, after the establishment of the five dynasties, they all thought that they were orthodox, and they all called themselves the Son of Heaven and used the surname Ji. ”
Yang Mu suddenly realized, it turns out that there are so many doorways among them, no wonder the surnames of many feudal vassal states are varied, and even the surnames coincide with the name of the country, it turns out that this is the reason.
"Then your real name is Gu Nan?"
"Your Majesty guessed wrong again." Queen Dai rolled her eyebrows, glanced at him with a little disgust, and said, "The concubine's real name is Gu Zhennan, and Your Majesty's memory is really poor." ”
"Gu Zhennan...... Hmm, it's not a name. But you can't blame me, you never talked to me. ”
"Why not." The queen rolled her eyes, with a hint of disgust, and said coquettishly: "When you were asleep, the concubine said a lot of things, but you didn't hear it." ”
Seeing the queen like this, Yang Mu only felt numb all over his body.
There aren't many times when the queen is coquettish, she usually looks cold, dignified, and looks holy.
