Ending Chapter 7 Li Chun's choice
After hearing about the chaos in the capital of the Great Zhou, the Northern Barbarians carried out the last crazy counterattack, so that Bai Heng failed to rush back as soon as possible, let alone see the emperor for the last time.
Huge guilt and self-hatred made him feel ashamed.
After returning to Beijing to restore his life, he planned to apologize for his crimes, but was stopped by Li Chun.
Then Zhu Changzhe came and had a deep talk with him.
Bai Heng was persuaded to atone for his sins by continuing to be loyal to the new emperor.
The situation in the north soon stabilized.
Zhu Changzhe successfully ascended the throne, and then announced an amnesty to the world.
The prince did not die, he ended up in the same fate as his previous life, and he was imprisoned in a high wall, and lost his freedom forever.
Zhu Changjue needs to keep this brother as a proof of his "benevolence".
In order to make Zhu Changzhe's subordinates merciful, the helmsmen of the Xiao family and other clans broke off on their own shortly after they were captured.
But these old clans are still exempt from capital crimes, and living crimes are unforgivable. After the evidence of the crime was listed, the house was raided, exiled, degraded, deposed, suppressed, and weakened......
The old clans, which had been deeply entrenched in the past and had begun to threaten the imperial power, were liquidated.
After the change of power, the power plate was broken up, and after the reshuffle, the DPRK and China began to exude new vitality both inside and outside.
The new king of the southwestern barbarians took the initiative to surrender to peace, bringing a large amount of tribute, and at the same time, he sent envoys to ask for peace talks.
Zhu Changzhe knew from Li Chun that their new king was the same as what he was facing at the moment, and he was anxious about the situation in his own house. Considering the financial situation of the Great Zhou army and the urgent need for a stable environment, he should order peace talks and designate Li Chun to be responsible.
Li Chun wants to retreat, the situation in the southwest must be stabilized, and he can't shirk this matter.
Through his knowledge of the southwest, Li Chun quickly negotiated the terms and facilitated a covenant:
The king of the southwest declared himself a vassal to the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty and returned all the encroached territories, and the Great Zhou provided production technology free of charge, and supported some industries in the southwest by way of acquisition every year; The boundary line was further clarified and included in the monument; The two sides set up a field at the border to carry out mutual trade; The covenant was valid for fifty years......
Caught in a bitter battle, the northern barbarians who were chased and forced by Bai Heng, who was holding his breath, saw that the southwest, which should have been brothers and sisters with them, not only could breathe, but also took a big advantage, so it was naturally unbalanced.
Beiban also asked for peace talks, but Bai Heng didn't agree!
Several envoys were directly beheaded by Bai Heng and hung in front of the battle.
Zhu Changzhe didn't agree either! After the war in the southwest and the East China Sea was suspended, he had plenty of troops, so naturally he didn't need to be deflated anymore. What's more, he needs a big win to prove his worth and ability!
He not only was tough, but also vigorously supported Bai Heng.
The internal contradictions of the Northern Barbarians intensified at once.
They were originally joint departments, and they came together in order to take advantage. At this moment, it is naturally difficult for the chicken, fly, egg and egg alliance to continue to maintain.
And what Bai Heng wants is their disintegration.
As soon as the army's heart was dispersed, when the two armies intersected, the joint headquarters collapsed.
The Zhou army won a big victory......
On the other hand, after Zhu Changzhe ascended the throne, there began to be voices in the DPRK and China calling for the draft and draft.
Zhu Changzhe covered this matter with the word "filial piety". This reason is high-sounding, and the courtiers have nothing to say, but many people are speculating that he should want to elect a queen in Kang Anbo's Zhou family.
After escorting Zhu Changjue all the way to Beijing, Kang Anbo returned to the capital.
He made great contributions and outstanding merits, so he was named the Duke of Dingguo and was hereditary. Even Zhou Jingyi was promoted to Concubine Jing.
There is a concubine in the family, and there can be no more queens.
Dingguo Gong's plan to push his granddaughter as the queen fell through, but looking at his high-spirited and high-spirited grandson, he suddenly understood that his grandson did it on purpose and did it first.
He immediately understood that from now on, there would be a difference between kings and ministers, and he could no longer easily influence his grandson's judgment......
The new emperor ascended the throne, and the DPRK came with envoys and brought a large number of congratulatory gifts.
However, Zhu Changzhe was able to ascend the throne smoothly, and the North Korean side has made a lot of contributions to the many containment and actions in the East China Sea.
He personally chatted privately with the Korean envoys, and then announced that he would be crowned king of Joseon; Tax-free for 50 years; After awarding a huge amount of rewards, he asked for the thirteen princesses of the Joseon royal family to be accepted as concubines.
Yes, nominally, it was he who begged, not North Korea. Such a glory is unique in the history of the Korean nation! ……
Xu Haizhi was also rewarded for his meritorious deeds. He and his men were successfully recruited and incorporated by the imperial court. Xu Haizhi was appointed as a Fujian staff general, and finally came to the stage.
He promised to "follow the dogs and horses and gallop slightly, and is willing to pacify the sea frontier for the imperial court", and in order to dispel the concerns of the imperial court, he also donated nearly half of his net worth......
Zhu Changzhe was very satisfied, and sealed several direct official positions of the Xu family in a row, and included the daughter of the Xu family in the palace......
In order to commend the meritorious men who always stood behind him during the previous turmoil, in order to win over many capable people of insight, and in order to strengthen their own foundation, marriage has become the best way.
In this way, even if there is no queen and no draft, Zhu Changzhe's harem has a lot of people. Even the fourth concubine quickly accounted for three.
The power of the harem is still controlled by the Queen Mother, and at this point, Zhu Changzhe has no worries......
On the night before he ascended the throne, Zhu Changzhe set up a small table and invited Li Chun to drink alone.
After three rounds of drinking, Zhu Changzhe saw Li Chun.
"Tonight, you and I will be casual. I treat you as a brother, and if you ask for something, between you and me, it will be straightforward. "Zhu Changzhe is very refreshing.
Li Chun looked at him deeply. Brother? Is this a temptation?
"I don't dare."
Zhu Changzhe laughed.
It's a temptation, but it's also sincere.
But what he wanted to try from Li Chun was not what he "wanted", but whether he was a "true brother".
He's not stupid. His father didn't even give his sons a pitiful amount of love, how could he dig out his heart and lungs to Li Chun alone?
He had heard others say more than once that he and Li Chun looked alike, and he also knew that the Queen Mother had brought more than one holy decree when she went south that day, plus the age difference between the emperor and Li Chun...... He had always had a guess, but he didn't know whether to verify it or not.
He wanted to know, but he was afraid that the truth would be as good as he guessed. He was worried that the simple relationship between himself and Li Chun at the moment would be affected by this, and he was also worried that his gratitude to Li Chun would deteriorate because of the truth.
Also, at that time, should he help Li Chun recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors? Or do you pretend to be unaware?
Li Chun's credit this time is very high, even if it is for his father's favor, it is more than enough to give a knighthood. What should I give him? If you give too much, can you rest assured?
So after the words came out, he already regretted it. Instead of being blind inside and out, it's better to pretend to be confused with sobriety!
Fortunately, Li Chun didn't mind his messy expression at the moment, but took out something from his arms and brought it to him first.
Zhu Changzhe didn't expect that it would be his father's edict.
At that moment, he saw the seal but did not read the content, and his facial expression was also wonderful. His first reaction was: This edict was given to Li Chun by his father before his death? Don't...... This throne, he can't take his turn? Can't sit down? Is this edict the final decision of my father?
Zhu Changjue's expression was seen by Li Chun, and he couldn't help but sigh that he had made the right choice. Standing below the fashion and breaking the head for the top position, it really goes up and suffers more from gains and losses, right?
"This is the big wedding I asked the emperor for before my wedding, on the second night of the third month. You can also see it as a talisman for me and Cheng Ziyu. I wish we could live a simple and safe life! ”
That night, he refused the great gift given by the emperor, but analyzed the pros and cons in front of the emperor for a long time, and asked for such an edict. The emperor was shocked by what he said, fearing that after his death, Li Chun would be cleaned up by later generations.
Coupled with Li Chun's sensitive true identity, the emperor was very flustered, and in the end he still withdrew the holy decree he had prepared, but was instigated by him, and as soon as his mind was hot, he gave an unprecedented edict to warn the descendants of the old Zhu family, treat Li Chun well, and ensure that Li Chun and his family are free, safe, prosperous, and happy......
Li Chun said, took out another piece of paper and handed it out.
He's going to resign.
Zhu Changzhe was surprised.
His father, the emperor, had no head or brains to write such a ridiculous edict. And at this moment, he was even more sure that Li Chun's identity was as he guessed. And the more like this, the more he looks up to Li Chun.
Indeed, he thought about many possibilities, but he never thought that Li Chun would let go of everything.
A blame for his villain's heart came out of his heart, and he looked down on himself a little.
"Li Chun, you don't have to. I'll give you a knighthood! A knighthood will keep you and your family safe for generations to come. ”
"I'm tired and want to live for myself." If he really wanted a knighthood, he would have it. "The knighthood is just a bondage to me." The emperor is not there, and he can fly freely in the sky and the sea. "You'll say yes, right?"
"You and she are my saviors, this is still my father's edict, how can I be qualified to say no?" Zhu Changzhe handed the edict back to Li Chun, "Don't worry." I dare not say far away, but my children and grandchildren and I will remember your kindness. It won't be a problem to protect you for at least a hundred years! ”
Li Chun hugged his fists and thanked him.
Zhu Changzhe raised his glass and touched Li Chun, secretly sighing that his heart was dirty, while feeling pity for the rapid retreat of the pillars, but on the other hand, he was relieved, and he was looking forward to the fact that he could personally train cadres to hold military power......
He couldn't help but compensate: "After I ascend the throne, I will also give you another precious thing to protect your honor, and if you have any regrets or needs in the future, you must not be embarrassed to speak." Even if you don't talk about kindness, just talk about friendship, just look at the good face of Vinland and you, I am happy to do something for you. And, I have one more request. I plan to approve your resignation in two months, and you can help me for another two months until the situation stabilizes......"
Li Chun readily agreed, he didn't intend to throw his sleeves and leave unkindly......
Zhu Changzhe is grateful, and Li Chun is also satisfied.
Once a son of heaven and a courtier, most of the disasters have always originated from a greedy word. Rather than dominating a high position and being watched and guarded by, it is better to let the person in the high position owe him favors. After all, the breeze on the sleeves will not be remembered.
And he, with two talismans from the two emperors in his hands, will not even have any worries. He was finally able to retire.
At the same time, Cheng Ziyu was not waiting for Li Chun to pick her up in Jingxi, she was slowly coming north.
When she persuaded Li Chun to enter Beijing, she guessed that there were many affairs in Beijing, and she couldn't finish it in two or three months. It is already the month of Layue, and she wants to enter Beijing to accompany her husband, take the child, and spend the first year after marriage.
