Chapter 289: Greeting the Honor Guard

Zichen Palace, what Yang Mu discussed with the courtiers was the problem of Shengguo.

Although Sheng Guo surrendered, there were a lot of follow-up things.

This is the problem posed by non-absolute conquest by force.

At the beginning, it was okay when it received Shenguo, after all, there was an extremely strong public opinion base, and there was a long time to transition, and even Cangguo was still in the process of exploring the system, so the transfer of power was relatively fast.

But Sheng Guo's problem is much more serious, after all, it was a gentle surrender, and it was a tense period, and Cangguo simply did not have enough time to slowly stabilize the situation.

Whether it is the 300,000 troops in it, or the government soldiers in various places, or the officials of the government, they must be solved before the alliance, and at the latest before the start of the war with the Jin State.

Otherwise, once Cangguo devotes all its energy to the war with the Jin State, it is very likely that the monarchs and nobles of the Sheng State will resurrect and do the restoration.

On the first day of the first month of June, Deng Zhi and other generals came to Cangcheng to accept the canonization of the Cangguo court.

It's just a formality.

However, this format was a big relief for both sides.

Yang Mu saw the sincerity of Deng Zhi and the other generals.

Deng Zhi and the others also put their minds at ease, and they didn't have to worry about the future and life and death.

In the end, Yang Mu canonized Deng Zhi as the generalissimo of the Guiyi Army, and the 300,000 troops under his command were organized into the Guiyi Army, which became one of the six major legions of the Cangguo, and moved from the original garrison to guard the northeast border of the Cangguo.

The so-called northeastern border is the northern border of the original Shengguo.

That place is Deng Zhi's old territory, which can not only eliminate the threat of the 300,000 army, but also give Deng Zhi face, the best of both worlds.

After that, a large-scale selection of local officials was launched in Cangguo.

There are more than 300 cities in Shengguo, and for the first time, part of them were occupied by Cangguo, and there are more than 200 of them.

This required the imperial court to send a large number of officials to these places.

The role of these officials is not to be the number one, but to play a role of integration, to build a system of Cangguo government, including the most basic six ministries, etc., all of which must be established hand in hand.

More than 5,000 scholars were sent to more than 200 cities to undertake this task.

Finally, Emperor Min Shanyi of Shengguo and Emperor Taishang Min Lei also embarked on the journey to Cangcheng.

On June 5, the Emperor of Yanguo, who was closest to Cangguo, arrived in Cangcheng.

Over the years, the two countries have friendly diplomatic relations and jointly created a mutually beneficial and win-win situation.

Let's just say that this time the alliance, Yanguo also contributed a lot.

Because, if the monarchs of the kingdoms mainly come to the Cangguo to join the alliance, it is impossible to pass through the land of the Jin Kingdom, and the strategic location of the Yan Kingdom has become extremely important.

When the Cangguo had not yet annexed the Cave Kingdom, the communication between the Cangguo and the Yan Kingdom was indeed equivalent to nothing, and it was impossible to open up a safe passage through the mountains and mountains.

Later, after the annexation of the Dong Kingdom, there were a lot more exchanges between the Yan countries, and it was very convenient to enter the Yan country from Shanyang County.

Due to the good diplomatic relations between the two countries, and for long-term strategic considerations, Cangguo also built a road to communicate with Yanguo, which was managed by Cangguo in this section of Cangguo, and managed by Yanguo in that section of Yanguo.

For this alliance, the two countries jointly sent 50,000 troops to garrison the Chi Road along the way, which can be regarded as a complete guarantee of the safety of the emperors of the vassal states.

Yang Mu held a banquet in private and had a hot pot with Emperor Yanguo, which could be regarded as an informal exchange, which could be regarded as a layer of lubricant for the relationship between the two countries.

The time has entered the seventh day of the sixth month, and the emperors of various countries have arrived one after another.

Cangguo, ushered in the largest event in history, the official road to come and go more troops, all kinds of armor and flags, different regional styles, have opened the eyes of the people, on both sides of the official road can often see the people stop and watch.

This surprised the kings and ministers of all countries.

Originally, along the way, I was very surprised to see the carriage running on the smooth and hard relaxation road, but I didn't expect that the folk customs of Cangguo were even different from other countries.

For example, Xiong Minne, the emperor of Chu State, basically lifted the curtain and looked outside all the way.

In the state of Chu, when the people saw the cars of the dignitaries and nobles, it was too late to hide, how could they stop and watch?

Not to mention, this is the emperor's dragon chariot.

He didn't believe it, those ordinary civilians didn't even know Long Yuan.

Since he knew that it was the emperor's dragon chariot and dared to stop and watch, it could only mean one thing - these commoners were not afraid of any dignitaries on weekdays.

When he sent someone to inquire, he learned that Cangguo had promulgated an authoritative "Great Cang Law Decree", which was extremely protective of the people, and the nobles broke the law and the common people were guilty of the same crime, which was really implemented.

"The nobles break the law and are guilty of the same crime as the common people?" Xiong Minne was shocked, and hurriedly asked Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Cangguo, who came to greet him, and said: "In your Cangguo, if an official kills someone, will he have to pay for his life?" โ€

"Returning to Your Majesty, there is another law in my Cangguo, that is, the official who is serving has a certain immunity, if he kills someone, he must be convicted according to the circumstances of the person who was killed, if the other party is innocent, the official must pay a huge fine, and at least one rank downgrade, it will leave a big stain on his career, and in serious cases, he will face prison. But...... I have a different system for those who have titles, and if there is a title, the punishment is much lighter. โ€

"I see."

Xiong Minne nodded, and at the same time sighed extremely in his heart.

It is no wonder that Cangguo can rise in just a few years, and so many crises can be resolved one by one, and this system is also a very important aspect.

Xiong Minne sighed secretly, if I can have such a national power in Da Chu, why not be happy? Maybe at this time, you can also fight with the Jin State head-on, why let the Jin State sit on the throne of the alliance leader for a hundred years?

Entering Cangcheng, Xiong Minne was even more amazed.

Cangcheng is not big, the streets are not very spacious, and the buildings on both sides do not have that feeling of luxury to the extreme, if it is placed in the Chu State, I am afraid that it will not even rank in the top ten.

If you just look at it from the outside, such a city is not worthy of the strength of the current Cangguo.

However, its vitality and vitality are incomparable to any city in the Chu State.

Let's not talk about the peddlers and pawns on the street, but just say that the shops on both sides and the books and paper sellers are incomparable to other countries.

If Yang Mu was here, he would laugh, which was similar to those duty-free shops in later generations.

In the afternoon, Xiong Minne's car entered the Cangguo Palace.

"Your Majesty has an edict, and the guard of honor enters the palaceโ€”"

Waves of high-spirited and high-pitched voices rolled out of the mouths of the palace attendants.

The palace gate rumbled open, and the honor guard composed of five hundred palace guards waiting outside the palace lined up on both sides, one by one the helmets and armor with solemn faces, their steps as heavy as stones hitting the ground, and the armor reflected bursts of dazzling light in the sun.

The armor is dazzling, and it is made of the finest steel.

Honor guard?

Xiong Minne's eyes showed a strange look, and he suddenly had a bold idea in his heart, such sophisticated equipment, if it was equipped for cavalry, wouldn't it sweep the battlefield?
