They come from the bottom, they can know the needs and desires of the people at the bottom, they can know the people's livelihood better, and they can better understand the voices of the people. ”

The emperor looked at the five princes thoughtfully.

"You want to give them an official title?"

The Fifth Prince shook his head.

"To be an official, at least you still have to be a scholar, and the ministers just hope that the imperial court can allow this organization to exist above board."

The emperor waved his hand, "This, we will discuss it later, the current top priority is to stabilize the order of court affairs on the side of Western Qin, our purpose is very simple, Western Qin is a subject country of the Great Xia Dynasty, since it is a subject country, he should not have such a high profile." ”

"Erchen understands."

"After a while, you go and personally meet those old ministers in Western Qin Kyoto, who are willing to cooperate, my Great Xia Dynasty will give him a chance, and if you are not willing to cooperate, my Great Xia Dynasty will not lack him! Even if we start all over again, as long as the people are stable, there is time! ”

The emperor was talking, and the little waiter outside replied, "Your Majesty, General Xishu Zhou asks to see you!" ”

General Zhou was the main general of the Western Shu army's attack on Western Qin.

In Xishu, the status is very high.

Hearing the announcement, the emperor immediately got up, "Please!" ”

Yu Luo, instructed the five princes, "You go and get busy, remember one thing, we are the victorious country, Western Qin is only a vassal state of the Great Xia Dynasty, the location is no different from our Zhending, Huguang, it is just a part of the territory of the Great Xia Dynasty, you don't have to lower your body, you are the prince!" ”

The five princes took the order and turned to leave.

At this time, the emperor warmly met General Zhou in the imperial study.

The five princes strode out of the Western Qin Palace.

During the New Year's Festival, the main street of Xiqin is particularly lively.

There are two days left before the Lantern Festival.

It seems that a war of aggression did not affect the enthusiasm of the people of Western Qin for the Lantern Festival.

The rows of shops have hung their own special headlights early to prepare for the annual lantern festival.

Even, this year is a little more lively than in previous years.

Street billboards, pasted with huge royal lists.

Next to the emperor's list, a special person stood to interpret it.

The first emperor list explained the war clearly.

Under the grant of the Western Qin Emperor, Du Zhiruo, the Shangshu of the Western Qin, secretly colluded with the rebel party Rong Rui of the Great Xia Dynasty, usurped the imperial power of the Great Xia Dynasty, and forced the throne of the Great Xia Dynasty to change hands.

After the change of ownership, Du Zhiruo, the Shangshu of Western Qin, forced Rong Rui to divide half of the territory of the Great Xia Dynasty into Western Qin, otherwise he would attack with a large army.

Regarding this point, Huang Bang clearly wrote: If you don't believe it, you can go to the Great Xia Dynasty to inquire casually, this matter has become a household name.

Some of the Western Qin merchants returned to the Western Qin from the Great Xia Dynasty during the New Year's Festival, and they brought with them more gossip, all of which verified the above.

Moreover, there is no shortage of these merchants from the Western Qin Wang.

In addition, the Western Qin army was stationed on the border between Western Qin and the Great Xia Dynasty early in the morning, which was known to the people of Western Qin.

This was a provocation war initiated by the Western Qin, and in the end, the Great Xia Dynasty succeeded in resisting because it occupied the righteous side.

In addition, on the emperor's list, it is also clearly indicated how many additional taxes were paid by Western Qin in order to launch this campaign, how much tax was collected each time, and how much of the tax was turned into military expenses, and how much was actually sent to the soldiers.

It unmistakably expresses the expropriation and tyranny of the people by the Western Qin court from top to bottom.

In addition, the Emperor of Western Qin ordered that all the families of those soldiers be arrested to threaten the soldiers to desperately attack the city.

In this way, the status of the court in the hearts of the people is getting lower and lower.

The Pingyang army entered the Western Qin and did not destroy the Western Qin.

Even the officials of the Great Xia Dynasty, who had taken over the administration of the Western Qin Dynasty, made it clear on the imperial list that according to the surrender document submitted by the Western Qin Emperor, the Western Qin was now part of the territory of the Great Xia Dynasty, so that the exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes of the Western Qin Dynasty would be the same as that of the Great Xia Dynasty.

The same is exempt from tax for one year.

This is undoubtedly a blessing for the people.

What's more, on the emperor's list, a greater gospel was also written.

A month later, the imperial court will organize a large-scale recruitment.

Shinong industry and commerce, every class, all can participate in the assessment.

And, it's free!

For students' reference, the imperial court contracts all food and accommodation expenses.

The assessment is divided into literary and martial arts examinations, male examinations and female examinations.

As long as there is talent, men and women, young and old, can take the exam.

Other than that.

As long as they are under the age of 30 and over 8 years old, and their bodies are not infected with infectious diseases, all men and women can sign up for the free school that will be built by the imperial court.

As soon as this notice was posted, it immediately caused the entire Western Qin land to boil.

For many students, the word free is like a sound.

I have to say that this notice has a very good effect on buying people's hearts.

At present, the prosperity of Kyoto in Western Qin is inseparable from the power of this notice.

Sitting in the sedan chair, the five princes looked proud, looking at the interpreters standing next to the notice, explaining to the people over and over again.

Scold!

This was my daughter-in-law's idea!

The horse-drawn carriage made its way through the bustling streets to the residences of various officials in Kyoto.

The five princes carried out the tasks assigned by the emperor.

At this time, in the Western Qin Imperial Palace, after an hour of talking, General Zhou of Western Shu left with a smile.

The emperor sat behind the bookcase, and his smile was even bigger.

Xishu took the initiative to express that he was willing to accept the guidance of the Great Xia Dynasty and prosper together with the Great Xia Dynasty.

That is, willing to bow down.

However, there is one condition in Western Shu, the Great Xia Dynasty must not interfere in the internal affairs of Western Shu, and all court affairs in Western Shu are decided by the Western Shu court itself.

In exchange, Western Shu was willing to pay annual tribute to the Great Xia Dynasty.

Being able to sit down and solve the relationship between the Great Xia Dynasty and Xishu in a chatty and conversational way, the emperor was in a good mood.

However, this good mood lasted for no time before it was broken.

"Your Majesty, Beiyan is urgent! Beiyan urgent! ”

The anxious and trembling voice of a small chamberlain sounded outside the hall.

The smile on the emperor's face suddenly dissipated.

As the door of the imperial study was opened, the soldiers from the Nanliang battlefield were wrapped in the cold wind.

Striding forward, kneeling on one knee, and after saluting, the soldier handed over the battle report in his hand with a solemn face.

"Your Majesty, before the last general set off, Northern Yan and Southern Liang reached an alliance, and Northern Yan gathered 100,000 troops and rushed to the battlefield of Southern Liang!"

The emperor shook his hand holding the letter, "Wasn't the defense of Beiyan destroyed by the Wolves?" ”

The soldier said: "There was a wolf team that suddenly attacked Beiyan and reached the hinterland of Beiyan all the way, but Nanliang dispatched the elephant team and quickly supported Beiyan, and the two countries concluded an alliance. ”

The emperor's heart sank, and he hurriedly tore open the letter.

The letter was written by Su Ji himself, asking the emperor to immediately issue an order to dispatch a large army to attack Northern Yan in order to besiege Wei and save Zhao.

Su Ji was able to write such a letter, which shows that the Pingyang army led by Su Ji at this time was besieged by the Southern Liang and Northern Yan, and the situation was not good.
