Chapter 4 A New Tomorrow for Bingao
After all, the nobles under the common people are a minority, and the most important thing to win is to win the support of the common people. Obviously, Li Yunqing has already done this in the old land of Bingao Country. He made the people here live a better life than before, and gradually won the support of the people. In fact, ordinary people don't care who the emperor is, all they care about is whether they can eat enough, whether they can have a house to live in, and whether they can live a good life, because these are closely related to them.
It was precisely because Charles saw this that he decided to do such a ruthless thing, and he couldn't drop tens of millions of people in their hands because of a few stubborn nobles. Xu Heming listened to Charles's words and nodded heavily, he is a military general, so he naturally knows that the country has always been a mountain of white bones, which is paved with blood. Whether it is him or Charles, they are Li Yunqing's courtiers, and they have only one thing to do, that is, to be loyal to Li Yunqing.
Xu Heming said to Charles in a deep voice: "Although the prince is not my big man, he really admires the loyalty to the emperor. The prince can rest assured that if an emperor is guilty because of this, the last general will definitely accept the emperor's punishment with the prince. ”
Hearing this, Charles couldn't help but wave his hand and said, "The general thinks the emperor will not know about the affairs here?" The emperor naturally knew, but he was unwilling to do so. Our emperor can be an eternal saint, but many times his kindness is beyond our imagination. If the emperor is allowed to do this, under the situation that those nobles have not harmed the people, the emperor will not even ask for their lives, let alone the old and weak women and children in their family. The emperor is very embarrassed, so we can only do it. Everywhere he got up and patted Xu Heming on the shoulder, and smiled: "If the emperor blames him, I will naturally bear the responsibility, you are a military general, you are just acting on orders." I don't think the emperor's punishment for me will be too heavy. ”
Seeing Xu Heming's back disappear, Charles walked to the window and said to himself: "Your Majesty, the old minister is already a dying person, and there are not a few years left, to be able to do such a big thing for you and accomplish your deeds, it can be regarded as the old minister to repay you for your kindness to the old minister!" "This old man can sacrifice his own hand for the people of Bing Proud
To the east of the Empress City is a huge square that can accommodate 250,000 rao, and the square is circular and exposed, which was previously used to hold a duel between man and beast. The capital of the Bingao Kingdom was moved here, and there were no competitions here, but a place to announce important affairs. In the middle of the square there is a huge high platform, on which Charles now stands.
It was surrounded by four huge trumpets, and Charles stood in the middle of them. I only heard his deep voice: "Ladies and gentlemen, I have something important to announce today, and yesterday I have received the holy decree of His Majesty the Great Qiandi Emperor. Now that the time is ripe, it's time for the Emperor to completely incorporate Bing Ao Kingdom into the territory of Daqian! The four loudspeakers were connected, and Charles pointed at one of the horns, and the sound came into the four horns, and then the people below could hear it clearly.
Many of the people were at first confused, and then began to talk in low voices. Charles continued: "Everyone also knows that since Daqian took over our Bing Proud Country, everyone's life has been better than before. This is all the result of Emperor Daqian's love for the people like a son. Now there is no difference between us and the people of Daqian, what is lacking is only a name, in order for everyone to be free from war in the future and live a happy and happy life, everyone must think carefully! ”
For a while, there was a heated discussion among the people below, and most of them, as Charles thought, finally chose to agree to a complete union between the two countries. These people know that Bing Aoguo has become a thing of the past forever, and it has disappeared in the long river of history, and Zheng has naturally agreed with it, and there are naturally those who oppose it, and as Charles expected, most of the opponents are nobles.
"Charles! You despicable old man, I knew you were going to sell your empire in the end! You remember, you are the culprit who buried this country, and the ancestors of the Bingao Kingdom will not forgive you for anything!! ”
"Charles, how much benefit did you receive from Emperor Daqian?! How can you do such a shameless thing?! Bing Ao Guo has existed in name only, and you have completely deprived it of its last glory, Charles, you can't die well!! ”
"Charles! You old thing, you are the Duke of Bing Proud Country, the most noble existence. After being the Prince of Daqian for less than three years, you are really shameless to surrender to the feet of the Emperor Daqian forever!! ”
The aristocrats roared wildly and hurled insults at Charles. Not only that, but in the end, those nobles who opposed actually began to insult the common people, and even fought with those who agreed. Charles didn't care about this at all, and only listened to him say in a loud voice: "Since most of the people have no objection to this, then I declare that from today onwards, the Bingao Kingdom will completely become a part of the Great Qian Empire, whether de jure or nominally, in fact, the Great Qian Emperor will have the right to rule over the vast land of the Bingao Kingdom." You and I will become the most loyal subjects of Emperor Daqian! Ladies and gentlemen, starting today, from this moment on, your life will usher in a new page! Charles had a very relieved smile on his face. Then he turned to Xu He and said, "General Xu, you will do it tonight and completely get rid of those nobles who opposed just now!" ”
Xu Heming nodded when he heard this, and said in a deep voice: "Lord Duke, rest assured, this sin will be willing to bear it." As long as Your Majesty can establish this thousand years of merit, what is this sacrifice? He looked at the cheering people below, and then turned to Charles, "Prince, your safety is the most important thing now. The emperor instructed the last general of the country to ensure your safety, otherwise the head of the last general may not be able to be saved, I will personally send you back to the palace later, and then arrange heavy troops outside the palace to guard, such days may last for a while, please be patient. ”
Hearing this, Charles glanced at Xu Heming gratefully, held his hand and said, "The general is protecting the life of an old man like me, and the old man is really grateful." The Emperor's grace is immense, and my Charles's family will always be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor Daqian! ”
Fourteen dukes, counts, and men of all sorts died in the Imperial City that night. Fourteen sprawling families were enveloped in the smell of blood, and corpses were in every courtyard. The corpses included men, women and children, and thousands of lives were lost on that night. While the people were asleep, a large number of people burned all over the Empress City, and it was the fourteen Rao family mansions that caught fire.
The next morning, when the people woke up from their sleep, it was all over. All they saw was houses that had been reduced to ruins overnight, which caused a commotion but was quickly quelled.
