Chapter 187: Rumors
The capital of the Great Han Dynasty has been very lively recently, and the Maotou people can't control national affairs, but they like to discuss this kind of thing the most.
As far as Taizu Zhenlong, Emperor Yu of Great Xia and even Yanhuang Twin Ancestors, as close as which minister was reprimanded today, which general might be promoted...... All kinds of them are the object of discussion.
And it is indisputable that in the past year, the person most worthy of discussion is the disciple of the Qin family who came out of Tongling Pass, the current Dingyuan Uncle, the Great Cold and Violent Tiger Qin Shaofu.
First, because of his disappearance, the war escalated, and because of his mission, he killed all the captives who should have been ransomed. Later, he was attacked and disappeared again, saying that he was taken captive to Dongyi.
But unexpectedly, he did not die, not only came back alive, but also built a great miracle: blocking the menacing nomads, and making them surrender to the Great Han Dynasty, from then on willing to become a part of the Great Han Dynasty, even if it is a second-class people.
What makes people talk about it even more is the tactic he used in this war: using the thunder of the Tianji Battalion to blow up the entire interior of Jiuding City.
It was not only the army of nomads who died, but also the soldiers and civilians in Jiuding City.
Although some people have analyzed that the people and soldiers in Jiuding City at that time must have been less than 20,000 people, or even less, such a voice is obviously not what the people are willing to hear.
What they like is the excitement, the unbelievable, the things that cannot be heard in other eras, and can only be witnessed in this era.
50,000, 100,000, 300,000......
The number of soldiers and civilians killed by Qin Shaofu's unification is increasing, because only in this way can the peculiar psychology of ordinary people be satisfied.
Those who praise him hope that the more he kills, the more he can show his might and bravery.
People who hate him also hope that he will kill more, so that they can criticize him for being cold-blooded and ruthless, and he is not as good as a beast.
In short, with the help of the two, by the time Qin Shaofu returned to the capital, the number of rumors had reached one million. After all, it was a city established by the True Dragon Taizu, and its majesty had long been a beautiful talk in the world, and a population of one million should be the standard.
"A Million ......"
Qin Shaofu also smiled dumbly when he heard it, and nodded helplessly. He had thought that such a tactic would inevitably create criticism, but he did not expect it to be spread to such an extent.
"Don't worry, my father is not unhappy!"
The emperor who picked him up, Changqing, said: "What was the situation in Jiuding City at that time, he knew better than anyone else. Actually, he didn't expect you to hold on, and you did do a miracle...... Although the method used is more ...... Violent. β
"I know that Your Majesty likes to say empty rewards...... Qin Shaofu shook his head and smiled: "Seal Jiuding City to me, and then say that you want to give up, and when you take it back, I am afraid that it will be directly razed to the ground, and then Lao Tzu's Dingyuan Uncle will exist in name only...... Did you say that your father had already calculated that there would be such a day, so he sealed Jiuding City to me...... Sooner or later, I'm going to throw it away. β
Huangfu Changqing shook his head: "With my father's ability, do you think he can count so much?"
It was said casually, but after hearing this, Qin Shaofu suddenly felt that what he said was not unreasonable, and couldn't help shaking his head and said, "I don't even dare to underestimate His Majesty the Emperor even if I underestimate Li Yunqing...... Anyway, am I really that terrible now?"
When others come back from winning battles, they are all welcomed by the people, and there are crowds of people, so it is not lively.
And this is also a miracle of the world, and now that they have entered the city, not only did they not see this scene, but even the shops on both sides were closed. Occasionally, there is a person who comes up, and after seeing his banner, he also runs away with a stream of fart.
"That bastard peed his pants, I really saw it!"
Qin Shaofu looked at a small alley in the past, very helpless.
Huangfu Changqing smiled slightly: "Using the people and soldiers as bait, blow up 300,000 enemies and kill 1 million ...... yourself."
Qin Shaofu immediately interrupted and emphasized: "150,000, Lao Tzu only killed about 150,000...... That damn a million get out of the way. β
Huangfu Changqing shook his head: "Any explanation is futile, for the monarch you can't underestimate the people, but it is true that you can't look at them too smartly." They only believe what they want to believe, as for the truth...... Who cares?"
"Also, do you think the new nomad king is telling the truth?"
"It should be true!" Qin Shaofu nodded and said: "I was arrested and went to Dongyi, almost as a sacrifice, after being rescued by Zhang Qiyu, I was worried that I would be caught by Dongyi's people, so I followed him to the north...... It's the northern region where the orcs are. β
"Because the star is about to appear, it is true that the temperature of that hot land has dropped a lot. And the orcs are indeed terrifying, and they really can't be defeated by words. β
Huangfu Changqing nodded: "What you said, I naturally believe it...... Also, when you go to court, your father will be happy, and he will definitely reward you. You are welcome, just open your mouth, such as asking him to pay for you to rebuild Jiuding City. β
"Is this still required?" Qin Shaofu was stunned for a moment: "If I don't say it, the imperial court won't repair it?"
"That's your fiefdom!" Huangfu Changqing emphasized: "According to the laws of the Great Han Dynasty, all expenses in the fief must be borne by a master like you. β
Qin Shaofu suddenly shook his head: "It's good that you said it, otherwise Lao Tzu would have lost a lot." Rebuilt Jiuding City, and sold me only a drop in the bucket. Also, at this time, are you still preparing to go to court?"
At this moment, it is already afternoon.
"Of course!" said Huangfu Changqing, "You may not understand the importance of the matter...... If you only defeat the attacking enemy, the most you can do is to go to the court tomorrow to reward you. But you have made the nomads surrender, which not only has gained a large number of people, but also means that the north of the Jibei Plain, including the entire Mobei, has become the territory of my Great Han Dynasty. β
"Expanding the territory is something that every emperor desires, and such an emperor is qualified to be on a par with Taizu...... I say that, do you understand?"
"Naturally!"
Qin Shaofu nodded, how big is the current Great Han Dynasty, and how big is the Great Han Dynasty left by Taizu True Dragon Emperor Fu Ming.
There have been so many emperors, and it is only today that they can be called expanding the territory, how can the emperor from the closed Taizu not make things vigorous.
The two said as they walked, when they arrived at the palace, after dismounting, they followed the palace guards to the Longxing Hall of the Early Dynasty.
In front of the Longxing Palace, there were already civil and military officials waiting. The leader of the civil officials is a middle-aged man, and he is not clear about his origin, but Qin Shaofu, the leader of the military attachΓ©s, is quite familiar.
When the imperial lieutenant, Qin Tianen.
Qin Shaofu deliberately walked over and stood still not far from him. The two looked at each other a few times, but didn't say much, until they heard someone from the palace shouting: "Go to the court." β
"Lord Taiwei, please!"
"Uncle Dingyuan, please!"
Qin Shaofu was not polite, and strode in front of Qin Tianen like this.
