Chapter 326: The Calm Before the Storm
Fengtian carrier, the emperor said. Watermark Advertising Test Watermark Advertising Test Xiao Guogong won a great victory in Xiyuan, recovered Xiyuan, and his martial arts were excellent, and I was very relieved. In order to commend him, he was promoted to the king of the county, the fief Cangwu County, and the five thousand households of the food estate, which were hereditary. In addition, he was promoted to the governor of the empire, commanding the soldiers and horses of the empire, defending the country and the country, and admiring this. ”
After Gonggong Li followed Xiao Ke and his entourage to Bai Zecheng, Gonggong Li read out the holy decree in public, and Xiao Ke led a group of subordinates to receive the decree.
His Majesty's decree is short, but it is very informative.
Xiao Ke was not only promoted to the prince and became the king of Cangwu County, but also was promoted to the governor of the capital, which can be said to be the first celebrity in the imperial family in the future.
Although Xiao Ke has experienced a lot of winds and waves, his bearing can be said to have almost reached the realm where Mount Tai collapsed in front of him and his color remained unchanged. But at this time, after receiving the order, his face couldn't help but flush slightly with excitement. It has been every man's dream since ancient times, and now he is not only a marquis, but also a prince, a prince with a different surname, which can be said to be such an honor. There is also the position of the Grand Governor, and the gold content is also extremely high, basically the empire will be his stage in the future.
Xiao Ke's group of subordinates, whether it was Qin Bing, Ling Feng, Ye Yun and other old subordinates, or Wei Qing, Yin Changfeng and other followers who joined halfway, or Qi Heng and others who worked for Xiao Ke later, were extremely excited.
They follow Xiao Ke, in addition to being impressed by Xiao Ke's personality charm and strength, there is also a very important reason, that is, they hope to follow the right person and be able to follow Xiao Ke to make a name for themselves.
Now, there is no doubt that they have seen the light of day, and the future is bright.
After Xiao Ke received the order, he took a group of subordinates and ceremoniously received Gonggong Li and his party.
There are very few words on the holy decree, but there are many things that His Majesty asked Li Gong to do on behalf of Xiao Ke. After the banquet, Xiao Ke and Gonggong Li moved to the study again, and the two talked about late at night, Gonggong Li talked about the recent situation in Qilin City, as well as the mutual concessions between the imperial family and the cabinet, including Xiao Ke Although he became the governor, he had to stay in the lawless land for three years to prove his strength in governance, and only after three years could he return to Qilin City, enter the cabinet, and work with the first assistant Zhang Kuchan to assist His Majesty in governing the empire.
Xiao Ke nodded and said: "Xiyuan has just been recovered, and the cities of Huanglong, Phoenix, Teng Snake and Chongming Bird have all been forced to surrender, in fact, the forces are intricate, and there are still people who are still not very convinced of me behind their backs, if there is a chance, they will definitely rebel." So I also need time, a few years to operate here, to be able to dissolve and merge the various forces, so that this place can restore order and prosperity. ”
Xiyuan is the land of lawlessness, and the local aborigines claim to be the land of lawlessness, but the empire will definitely not call it that, not to mention that it has been recovered, so it is natural to use the old name, that is, Xiyuan.
Gonggong Li: "Your Majesty said, Xiao Ke, you are in Xiyuan, in addition to restoring the prosperity and order here, there is also a very important task, which is to beat a super war group in the training department here, in which His Majesty requires the scale of elite soldiers to be more than 300,000, and the auxiliary soldiers must also have more than 300,000. ”
When Gonggong Li said this, he said meaningfully: "Xiao Ke, Your Majesty can be said to have exhausted all your strength in order to promote you, don't let down Your Majesty's expectations of you!" ”
Xiao Ke said in a deep voice: "Without Your Majesty, there would be no me today, Your Majesty's cultivation grace, I can only repay you after I have done my best." ”
When Gonggong Li heard Xiao Ke's loyalty, he smiled with satisfaction: "Okay, the loyalty of the Metropolitan Governor, I will report to Your Majesty truthfully." ”
When Gonggong Li said this, he suddenly said with a little worry: "Actually, Your Majesty didn't expect that you would be promoted to the position of Grand Governor so easily, Zhang Kuchan's old guys were tough at first, and they seemed to refuse to agree to His Majesty's proposal." But recently he suddenly changed his attitude, which is a good thing, but it also makes people inevitably wonder if Zhang Kuchan's old guys are some of them. ”
When Xiao Ke heard this, he frowned, this matter does sound a bit illogical, and there must be demons when things go wrong.
Li Gongbao admonished Xiao Ke and said: "Three years is not a long time, but it is not a short time. I estimate that the past three years will be a race between our imperial family and the cabinet. I have a feeling that something is going to happen in these three years, so I ask you to be on your guard and always be vigilant for any changes. ”
Xiao Ke nodded: "Okay, I will definitely remember Gonggong Li's reminder." ”
The two talked about the early morning, and Gonggong Li couldn't stay up and was sleepy, so he finally went back to his room to rest.
Xiao Ke didn't rest, he also processed a batch of documents in the study, and fell asleep near dawn, and he only slept for three hours before he got up again. As the Grand Governor, he felt the pressure on his shoulders even greater, and he didn't dare to slack off for a moment.
Gonggong Li didn't stay long in Xiyuan before returning to Zhongzhou Qilin City.
Half a month later, in the war to recover the western plains, the rewards of the meritorious soldiers also fell. Ling Feng Ye Yun was promoted to marquis, and the rest of the people were also rewarded according to the size of their merits, and the empire promised to exempt Xiyuan from taxes for three years and encourage Xiyuan to restore prosperity.
In the next six months, under the governance of Xiao Ke's team, the people gradually returned to their hearts.
And because Xiyuan is tax-free, coupled with the fact that Xiyuan's public security has been relatively stable, and Xiao Ke has not banned black market transactions, Xiyuan's development is getting better and better, and in just half a year, it has already had a thriving appearance.
Not only did Xiyuan have more business travel, but also because Xiao Ke encouraged farming, many refugees, displaced people, and scavengers from other provinces, these guys who were struggling to survive, came to settle in Xiyuan, which also solved the problem of fewer aborigines in Xiyuan.
Xiyuan has become the most populous province after Zhongzhou and the four major provinces.
At the same time, Xiao Ke also actively trained the war group and trained elite fighters in the past six months.
It can be said that the situation in front of the imperial family is very good.
But what His Majesty Jiang Ning and Xiao Ke didn't know was that this was indeed calm before the storm.
Jiang Shao, the king of Qin, has not been idle since he returned from Xiyuan.
Jiang Shao not only actively contacted Zhang Kuchan and other elders, but also secretly reached a series of offensive and defensive alliance agreements with the Pinshi clan.
After Jiang Shao reached an agreement with Zhang Kuchan and others, he carried Zhang Kuchan and others behind his back, and actively got in touch with one of the two gods of death in the Dead Country, the Slaughter of the Corpse Emperor.
Jiang Shao also secretly went to the country of death, personally met with the Grim Reaper Massacre, talked secretly with the Massacre, and brewed a big plan. Mobile phone users should browse and read for a better reading experience
