Chapter 66 Audience with the Emperor
Daqian Dynasty, Shenwei County, Xijing City
"Harm, it's better to be in Xijing City......"
Returning to the capital after a few months, Zhao Zheng looked at Xijing City, which was far more prosperous than Hanyang City, and looked at the hot scene, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
"My king, in the eyes of the old slave, may not be ten years later...... Hanyang City will not be weaker than Xijing City in the slightest! ”
The old butler Gao De, who followed the old butler on the side of the window, couldn't help but chuckle when he heard this.
Although His Royal Highness King Qin has only been in charge of Qinchuan for a few months, what he has done and what he has decreed can be said to have caused earth-shaking changes in the entire Qinchuan!
With such a vigorous atmosphere, even if Qinchuan is just a tattered border county at the moment, if it continues to develop according to this trend, at most ten to twenty years, the entire Qinchuan and the huge Qin State will achieve a historic breakthrough!
Even if it surpasses the prosperity of Xijing City, it is not impossible!
The monopoly of coal and stone and the strange things of the Western Regions alone is enough to make the entire Qinchuan quickly rich and completely get rid of poverty!
"Ten years...... Oh, I hope so. ”
When Zhao Zheng heard this, he couldn't help but smile lightly, but in his mind, he couldn't help but start to reverie.
Ten years later, I will be twenty-two years old, which is about the same age as before I crossed over.
At that time, I was a loser in both parents, graduated from college, had a job that barely made ends meet, and was a moonlight clan every month, not to mention, and I was already among the losers at a young age.
Tearing down the east wall and making up the west wall all day long, using this credit card to make up for that credit card, even so, I always can't help but overspend and chop my hands frequently.
And what about yourself now?
But he is already the lord of a county, the king of a country, and at the age of twelve, he already holds the power of life and death of the people of a county!
Even those clan masters who are old enough to be their grandfathers have to kneel down respectfully when they see themselves, and respectfully call His Royal Highness King Qin.
The beauties around him are even more like clouds, he is only twelve years old, and there are more than ten beautiful maids around him, and each of them is a first-class beauty in the next generation.
This kind of vastly different life and treatment has made Zhao Zheng gradually obsessed with the days after the time-travel, and even completely indulged in the identity of 'His Royal Highness the King of Qin'.
Especially in that small mountain village, after hearing with his own eyes the infinite love and admiration of the people under his rule for His Royal Highness King Qin.
His heart was undoubtedly greatly touched.
His original attitude of playing the world and doing what he wants has suddenly changed dramatically.
In fact, what he didn't know was that when he first entered Qinchuan, the moment he saw the dead baby full of ditches for the first time, his psychology had already begun to undergo indescribable subtle changes.
But he didn't realize it at the time, he was simply, from a modern point of view, he couldn't ignore the fact that such things were happening to his subjects.
So he did his best to raise food and grass for the disaster victims for disaster relief, and as for the subsequent reform measures, in fact, it was more for himself.
He hopes to make Qin Chuan rich, so that he can be an idle vassal king for a leisurely life.
But what he never expected was that his every move would really affect the entire Qin State and change the living difficulties of all the people in Qinchuan......
When he listened to his sister-in-law's sincere words and gratitude to Wang En that day, an indescribable sense of great achievement suddenly appeared in his heart!
At that moment, he realized that helping others, especially the people under his rule, would be such a happy thing......
From that moment on, he seemed to really regard himself as His Royal Highness the King of Qin, as the king of a country, and as the monarch of thousands of people!
He no longer should be 'His Royal Highness the King of Qin', it is just a layer of identity for himself to have fun and comfort.
From that moment on, he was really His Royal Highness King Qin!
He not only enjoyed the glory and glory brought by the status of His Royal Highness King Qin.
At that moment, he deeply realized the heavy responsibilities and obligations behind this heavy identity......
……
Taiji Palace, Nourishing Heart Palace
"Son-in-law, see father!"
After returning to Beijing, the first thing Zhao Zheng did was naturally to enter the palace to ask his father for peace.
"Huh...... Zheng'er, hurry up and calm down, let my father take a good look at my son. ”
As soon as the Taiji Holy Emperor saw his Nine Emperors, he couldn't help but feel good, and immediately stroked his beard happily, while looking at his Emperor carefully.
"Hmm...... I'm a little thinner, and I'm a little darker...... It's hard work for you to send you to those border counties......"
Under such a careful scrutiny, the Taiji Holy Emperor became more and more satisfied the more he looked at it, and he couldn't help but bow his head again and again.
And between words and deeds, he did not hide his appreciation at all.
"After returning to his father, after his sons rushed to the border counties in person, they gradually realized their father's good intentions, and it was too late to be grateful...... How can you feel so hard? ”
Zhao Zheng got up slowly, and after hearing this, he said respectfully.
Now he has a very different heart than before, because he has better adapted to his Nine Emperor Princes, and after the identity of His Royal Highness King Qin, he has become more and more skillful in shooting.
Although he didn't know whether his father had good intentions at all, he didn't know if his father sent him to the border county because he didn't like him.
But now in front of my father, can I still tell these honest things?
If you don't hurry up and put on a modest posture, will you still complain on the spot?
Now that he has so many experiences, Zhao Zheng has also become more and more mature, and when he talks about these scenes, he really opens his mouth.
"Good, good, good! How can my son think like that...... My father was very relieved! ”
Sure enough, after hearing the words of the Nine Emperors, the Taiji Holy Emperor immediately said three good words in a row with great satisfaction!
At the moment, he was looking at his Nine Emperor Son, and the color of appreciation in his heart couldn't help but be a little stronger.
"Then after my son became the master of Qinchuan, what difficulties do you need to help? Don't hide it, you can tell your father bluntly! ”
Thinking of this, the Tai Chi Holy Emperor couldn't help but say on the spot, but he wanted to do his best to help the well-behaved, sensible, and capable Nine Emperors as much as possible.
"Uh, this ......"
When Zhao Zheng suddenly heard this, he was about to subconsciously open his mouth and refuse, but suddenly thought of what Gao Jin said before, so he changed his words immediately.
"Speaking of which, Erchen is really a little reluctant to ask......"
When the Taiji Holy Emperor heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he hurriedly said with a smile.
"Oh? Don't scruple about my son, whatever you think in your heart, you can say it bluntly! ”
Regarding the unprecedented distribution of the Nine Emperors to Qinchuan and other border counties, the Taiji Holy Emperor already had a slight apology and compensation in his heart.
Now seeing that the Nine Emperor Sons really encountered any difficulties, even if the Holy Emperor had a decision, no matter what the Nine Emperor Sons requested, even if it was a little excessive, he would be full of promises!
"Father, the son has lived in the border county for a long time, and wars are frequent, but there are no good soldiers and fierce generals in his hands...... So much so that he was once besieged by the local clan with illness, if it weren't for the son's preparations, I was afraid that he would almost be killed! ”
As soon as these words came out, when he heard the ears of the Taiji Holy Emperor, the corners of his eyebrows suddenly jumped, as if he was surprised.
He had already heard of this matter, the cause of the matter was that the Nine Emperors wanted to reform the tax law, and many Qinchuan clans did not want to follow it, so they led troops to besiege the palace, but later with the help of the Tieqi in the north, the matter was successfully and smoothly resolved.
Even if there was some bloodshed that day, but in any case, he dared to lead troops to besiege the palace, this is naturally a dead end, and he should be killed!
But how could it be that when I heard what the Nine Emperors said today, the danger of that day was far beyond imagination, and even the danger of death......
Thinking that the Nine Emperor Sons, who he had worked so hard to cultivate, were almost in danger, the Taiji Holy Emperor couldn't help but feel angry in his heart, and a fierce look flashed on his face!
"What? Was it so dangerous that day?! ”
Such a violent reaction was shocking Zhao Zheng's heartbeat, and he didn't expect that he was just a little artistically processed, how could he suddenly provoke his father to be so angry.
"Well, yes, there are some, some......"
His heart was empty, and he couldn't help but answer vaguely and casually.
But when he heard these words in the ears of the Taiji Holy Emperor, he couldn't help but close his eyes, and suddenly sighed in his heart.
'Alas, the Nine Emperors are always so sensible...... Obviously in such a dangerous situation, in order not to worry himself, he passed by so lightly and vaguely......
Who knows what kind of pressure the Nine Emperor Sons were under and what danger they were facing behind such a light storm at this moment?! ’
But even so, even if this move would offend all the clans in the court, the Nine Emperors still resolutely and resolutely carried the banner of the vanguard of our great cadre reform of the tax law at the age of twelve......
'Nine Emperor Son, he, he has carried so much at such a young age! It's really not easy! It's really not easy......
Thinking like this, the Tai Chi Holy Emperor only felt that his eyes were moist, if he hadn't closed his eyes tightly at this moment, it was hard to say whether these tears would have crept down......
"That's right! After this incident, what will happen to those who plot rebellion?! ”
Thinking of this suddenly, the Taiji Holy Emperor couldn't help but open his eyes suddenly, and hurriedly asked.
He was really afraid that his Nine Emperor Children would be too young, so that he would be soft-hearted for a while, and in the end, he would leave trouble for himself!
"Back to my father, all those who plot rebellion are all connected to the nine clans, and they are all beheaded! The servants of the clan are all beaten as slaves of sin, and they will never return to their nationality! ”
When Zhao Zheng heard this, he hurriedly surrendered his hand, and responded truthfully with apprehension.
After all, under his own royal order, nearly 100,000 people died here!
With such a bloody method, I don't know if my father will be dissatisfied after learning about it, and even reprimand him in court.
"Hahahaha!"
Who knew that as soon as these words came out, he only heard the Tai Chi Holy Emperor and immediately laughed out loud!
I saw him pointing to the Nine Emperors who were suddenly stunned in place, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
"Good! All right! My son's heart and means are resolute and firm, no less than when he was a father! Hahaha! ”
The Tai Chi Holy Emperor laughed loudly, looking at the Nine Emperors standing in the hall, but the more he looked at it, the more satisfied he became.
"Uh, this ......"
Zhao Zheng was immediately stunned by this sudden praise and laughter, but he was stunned in place, not knowing what to do.
He really never thought that his father not only did not blame himself, but was ...... for this action Seems appreciated?
reacted like this, but in the eyes of the eunuchs on the side, he couldn't help but be surprised in his heart.
His Majesty the Holy Emperor doesn't know how long it has been, and he hasn't laughed so heartily today......
And recently, there are not a few princes who have returned to the capital to enter the palace to ask for peace, but there has never been a prince who will make His Majesty the Holy Emperor laugh from the beginning until now.
He even took the initiative to inquire to see if there were any difficulties that needed to be solved.
This......
It's really the only one among the nine princes!
"Okay, okay, now that this matter has been properly handled, it's best to continue ...... my son"
After laughing for a while, the Taiji Holy Emperor could not stop laughing, and motioned for the emperor to continue.
But just now, when I said this, I took the initiative as if I had something in mind.
"Eh, could it be...... Do you want to ask for some soldiers and horses to protect you? ”
As soon as these words came out, Zhao Zheng was stunned on the spot, just because he hadn't thought about this at all!
So he waved his hand on the spot and shook his head.
"No, no, no, father, the son doesn't mean that, the son just wants to secondment some skilled craftsmen from the Ministry of Industry and bring them back to Qinchuan County to cast some armor and swords for the soldiers under his command......"
God is pitiful, the reason why Zhao Zheng is so big, is really only that!
So he hurriedly explained, lest his father misunderstand, thinking that he wanted the lion to open his mouth and ask him for soldiers and horses.
What are you kidding, in ancient times, could such a thing as soldiers and horses be asked for casually?
What do you want to do when a vassal king asks for soldiers and horses?
"Huh! That's not what I'm saying! Between you and your father...... What about secondment? Even if you make a holy decree for your father, you can go to the Ministry of Industry and select craftsmen to bring back to Qinchuan at will! ”
When the Taiji Holy Emperor heard this, he immediately smiled and waved his hand, signaling to use some craftsmen, but is this still a matter?
And after agreeing on the spot, he still felt a little insignificant in his heart, and he didn't seem to have helped the Nine Emperors substantially.
So he immediately waved his hand again and continued to add!
"And! From the Gyeonggi army defending the capital, 20,000 soldiers and horses were sent to my son! To protect my son! ”
After that, in Zhao Zheng's stunned expression, it seemed that he still didn't feel enough, and he added again!
"Hmm...... By the way, my son is in Qinchuan border county, and there are constant wars all year round, but how can 20,000 soldiers and horses be enough? ”
The Tai Chi Holy Emperor groaned endlessly, and suddenly thought about it, and immediately made a decision!
"So...... It's for you, Qin State! Since then, there has been no garrison cap! ”
……
"The disaster of Kyushu, the hatred of the ages, since the Taiji Holy Emperor, for the Qin State to exempt the upper limit of the garrison!
Since then, the military strength of the Qin State has soared, and the territory has expanded wildly!
Wouldn't the power of a county be enough to rival the army of a country?
The Holy Emperor of a country, do this ridiculous act!
Woof! How unwise? ”
