Chapter 456: Peninsula Policy
()
After giving Kim Seungman a promise, Gomyung did not immediately let her return to Silla, but left her to stay in the palace of Goguryeo for one night.
Of course, Gao Ming didn't leave her because of the explosion of male hormones and was ready to with her or something, but to explain to her what autonomy is and what to pay attention to in the management of the peninsula.
Jin Shengman herself is a very smart woman, and she quickly understood what Gao Ming meant.
"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the autonomy of your mouth means that although the peninsula will belong to the Tang Dynasty in the future, in terms of governance and official appointment, it is still according to the rules of Silla before, right?"
Hearing Jin Shengman's question, Gao Ming shook his head.
"No, in terms of governance and official appointments, not according to the rules of Silla, but according to your rules, everything is up to you!"
Jin Shengman didn't seem to expect Gao Ming to say this, and suddenly showed a look of surprise.
"What do I say?"
Looking at her look of disbelief, Gao Ming immediately smiled and nodded.
"That's right! That's what you say, here, you are the Emperor of the Soil, and when the time comes, I will leave an adjutant in control of the soldiers and horses to assist you, the purpose is to protect your safety and maintain the stability of the peninsula, and he will not interfere in any of your decisions, so you don't have to worry, understand? ”
In Gao Ming's view, although there is no problem with autonomy, military power must be grasped, otherwise he is not at ease.
Jin Shengman also understood this, so after hearing Gao Ming's words, she also nodded.
"Well, this is also to prevent the resurgence of the remnants of Goguryeo and Baekje, Shengman understands!"
Speaking of this, she immediately showed a shyness on her face.
"Your Highness, it's not too early, Shengman's arms are over his knees, do you want to take another look?"
Looking at her delicate and touching appearance, Gao Ming suddenly raised his eyebrows.
"Hey...... Then I'll just take a look? ”
“……”
The next day, Jin Shengman set off very early, and when she left, Gao Ming specially sent Zhang Liang with 100,000 soldiers and horses to escort her all the way back to Silla.
The reason why Gao Ming sent so many soldiers and horses to escort him mainly had two purposes, one was to protect her safety, and the other was to support her and remove all obstacles from her in Silla.
In fact, Kim Seung-man is also struggling about how to stabilize her position in Silla, after all, she has just ascended the throne, and there are many old forces in Silla that she has not straightened out.
But now it's different, with the 100,000 soldiers and horses given to her by Gao Ming, she can quickly cut through the chaos, eliminate those opposition forces in one fell swoop, and quickly establish her own team.
Thinking of what Gao Ming said to himself yesterday, Jin Shengman secretly made up his mind.
"His Highness trusts me so much and has handed over the entire peninsula to me, I must not let him down."
Gao Ming didn't know what Kim Seungman was thinking, and after coming out of the Goguryeo Palace, he sent her to the gate of Pyongyang City, and then stood on the city tower and watched her gradually move away, with some reluctance.
"I guess I haven't seen her hanging arms over her knees for a long time......"
Hearing Gao Ming's muttering, Meng Xin, who was standing next to him, immediately covered his mouth and laughed.
"Hehe, it seems that His Highness is very fond of this Queen of Silla, did His Highness have a good time last night?"
"Well, it's okay, it's just a little tight...... Nervous, uh...... In fact, I'm also for Datang! ”
“……”
Seeing Meng Xin's face full of disbelief, Gao Ming was suddenly a little embarrassed, and hurriedly coughed twice.
"Ahem...... Although it seems that I am sleeping with her, in fact, I am playing a beautiful trick on her again, so that she is deeply addicted to my beauty and cannot extricate herself, in exchange for the stability of Datang for a hundred years, do you understand my hard work? ”
“……”
Believe in you to have a ghost!
Meng Xin had long been accustomed to clever calves, so he simply turned his head and ignored him.
Gao Ming saw that he didn't flicker Meng Xin as a limp, and immediately became angry, stretched out and pinched her buttocks, and then glared at her.
"Dead Nizi, you dare to throw your face at the master, go back early tonight to wash your name, and then go to my room and wait, see how the master cleans you up!"
“……”
At this time, there were other people on the city tower, and Meng Xin was suddenly embarrassed after being hit on her buttocks in public, so she covered her face and ran away.
Seeing this scene, Gao Ming suddenly remembered Su Wan'er who was far away in Chang'an.
"It's been more than a month since she left Chang'an, Su Wan'er should be a pot-bellied woman now, right? There are also Mei Niang and Zhou Hong, I don't think I'm also lonely, I really want to go back to accompany them as soon as possible! ”
Now that the war on the peninsula is over, Gao Ming can be said to be like an arrow, but because there are still some loot that have not been looted, he can only stay on the peninsula patiently.
A few days later, the big families in Pyongyang City were almost exploited by Meng Xin, and when Cheng Yanjin returned with the property seized from the Baekje Palace, Gao Ming planned to return to the court.
Originally, Gao Ming planned to raid all the state capitals, but Xue Rengui dissuaded him in time.
"Your Royal Highness the Prince, now that we have just pacified Goguryeo and Baekje, it is really not appropriate to collect heavy taxes from the people here, and the garrisons of various state capitals also require a certain amount of expenses, so it is better to keep some of the money of each state capital."
Hearing Xue Rengui's words, Gao Ming thought about it and immediately nodded.
"Well, that's right, the people will rebel if they are in a hurry, and it will be a trouble at that time, so let's do it, I won't move the money of the various state capitals, and the people of the peninsula will all be exempt from tax for a year."
"Your Highness is wise!"
Xue Rengui gave a flattery at the right time, and suddenly laughed out loud.
"Hahahaha, Rengui, you really can speak, it's much better than Huzi's stunned youth, it just so happens that the peninsula still needs a person in charge of the military, I plan to let you stay, what do you think?"
"Huh?"
Hearing Gao Ming's words, Xue Rengui's eyes immediately widened.
"Your Highness, this ...... How can the last general be able to take on this great responsibility, I ......"
"Okay, don't you, you, me, and me!"
Before he could finish speaking, Gao Ming interrupted him.
"This time Datang fought against the peninsula, you have also made a lot of meritorious achievements, and you are still a person I value, there are still many places where Datang needs your contribution in the future, and now commanding such a small peninsula is just a test for you, you don't have to shirk anymore!"
Hearing Gao Ming's words to this point, Xue Rengui didn't want to say anything more, he quickly knelt down on one knee, and then hugged his fist towards Gao Ming.
"The last general understands, and the last general will definitely do his best to live up to His Highness's trust!"
"Well, that's good, get up!"
"Your Highness!"
After Xue Rengui stood up, Gao Ming immediately smiled and patted him on the shoulder.
"In the future, the person who will manage this land will be the original Silla queen Jin Shengman, after I return to Chang'an, the imperial court will appoint you as the envoy of Liaodong Jiedu, commanding 200,000 soldiers and horses, you have to assist Jin Shengman to manage the peninsula well, you know?"
After listening to Gao Ming's words, Xue Rengui immediately nodded seriously.
"Yes, my subordinates understand!"
