Chapter 264: A New Crisis
Jinling City changed two generations of owners overnight.
Emperor Xiao Yuanshan of Zhou was not cold, and the usurper Xiao Huangting committed rebellion, arson, burning, killing and looting.
The people of Jinling dare not speak out, even if they don't like Xiao Yuanshan, at least he didn't harm the people.
Now that the news of Xiao Huangting's killing has spread all over the world, everyone is celebrating, and they don't have to be afraid.
After Xiao Wuxin led the army broke through the city gate, it did not disturb the people, did not rob the property, the army enjoyed the people, and even helped the people repair the damaged Washer at home.
When you are thirsty, you drink water from the river by the roadside, and when you are tired, you sleep on the ground.
Which family of people doesn't have tears in their eyes when they see it?! Even a stone is hot.
Some people even gave their own food to the soldiers, and the soldiers recited in public the regulations of the army, such as "three if you dare" and "ten prohibitions".
I have to say that this trick alone has captured the favor of many people.
They all praised Xiao Wuxin's "good governance", which made Xiao Wuxin's prestige reach an unprecedented high.
In addition, in order to quell the war, Xiao Wuxin did not hesitate to go away and borrowed 100,000 troops from Beiliang, and finally quelled the war.
Xiao Wuxin's "benevolence, righteousness, etiquette, wisdom and faith" was infinitely magnified, and the prince under Xiao Yuanshan's knees was slaughtered, Xiao Wuxin, as a rare royal family, naturally became the best candidate for the "emperor" in the eyes of the people.
When Xiao Wuxin returned to Jinling with Xiao Huangting's body, he was welcomed by the people.
All this behind-the-scenes planning is inseparable from Zhao Juzheng's secret planning.
After nearly twenty years of planning, he finally let Xiao Wuxin ascend to the throne of the Great Zhou Emperor.
Zhao Juzheng smiled with satisfaction, he lived up to expectations and completed Xiao Wuxin's mother's explanation.
"My mission is finally complete, and it's time for me to rest."
From now on, no one can stop Xiao Wuxin.
This is the end of Zhao Juzheng's mission.
The first step of the 10,000-mile journey has been completed, and the next step is to let the Great Zhou Empire dominate the world and dominate the world.
As for how far Xiao Wuxin can go, it depends on his own ability.
......

Since the defeat of Xiao Huangting's army, Xiao Wuxin did not kill all the remnants of the defeated army, but absorbed them and regrouped.
According to incomplete statistics, in this rebellion, Xiao Yuanshan and Xiao Huangting launched a total of more than 800,000 troops.
However, in the end, less than 150,000 people survived, which can really be regarded as a success.
The success of any revolution is the Great Wall infused with blood, and the mountains and rivers piled up with white bones.
As for the former court officials, Xiao Wuxin also chose to give them the greatest tolerance and decency, and returned to their hometowns.
At the same time, Xiao Wuxin selected a group of young and promising officials, who were from various confidential departments, had the ability, but had no connections, and were never promoted.
With this group of people, the state apparatus is not paralyzed, but proceeds in an orderly manner.
Subsequently, Xiao Wuxin rewarded the soldiers who made meritorious contributions this time, from centurion to general, all those who were registered in the merit book were rewarded.
After the civil and military ministers sorted it out, the biggest problem came naturally.
The matter of when Xiao Wuxin will ascend the throne and become emperor has been put on the agenda.
"Your Highness! The people of the people all support you to ascend the throne and become emperor, and we feel that the time is ripe, and we must not miss the heaven-sent opportunity. Some ministers said.
Other people also seconded the proposal, all begging for Xiao Wuxin to ascend the throne.
And Xiao Wuxin's country name, dragon robe, and crown are basically completed, and everything must be carried out step by step as long as he approves it.
"Since everyone is so persistent, then I am disrespectful, please ask the Ministry of Rites to preside over the enthronement ceremony, and the celebrant will cooperate with other matters of the ceremony."
Everything was decided, and the enthronement ceremony came as promised.
......
On this day, Zhao Juzheng came to the imperial city in plain clothes, and Xiao Wuxin was very busy because he was preparing to ascend the throne.
Seeing Zhao Juzheng coming, Xiao Wuxin hurriedly dropped the work in his hand: "Dashuai, are you dressed like this?" ”
"I'm tired and want to go out for a walk."
Zhao Juzheng has a kind of relief after the old father saw his son start a family.
Facing his rapid retreat, Xiao Wuxin was puzzled and said, "I need your assistance. ”
"You don't need me, you need them." Zhao Juzheng pointed to the young ministers in the distance.
They are the future of the dynasty and the ministers of the dynasty.
Zhao Juzheng is very resolute, Xiao Wuxin no longer insisted, everyone has their own ambitions, his ambition is not in the court, but in the people.
I have lived in the temple for a long time for the sake of that promise.
"Before I leave, I have a few words to say to you." Zhao Juzheng stretched out three fingers: "Three things." ”
Xiao Wuxin bowed down and had a respectful attitude.
"As a monarch, the first thing to do is to be ruthless, your heart is still too soft, so you will never be able to become an atmosphere. Second, we must have a mind, and we should not be suspicious in employing people, and we should not use suspicious people. Xiao Yuanshan was seriously suspicious and sick, and mistakenly killed countless loyal ministers and good generals, which led to Xiao Huangting's rebellion and no one was available. ”
"You have to learn from history, only rise and fall, don't fall into the footsteps of Xiao Yuanshan."
Xiao Wuxin bowed three times: "Thank you for the teachings of the handsome, I will remember it in my heart." ”
"The last and most important thing." Zhao Juzheng slowly spoke, "What are you going to do with the 100,000 troops borrowed from Beiliang?!" ”
"Naturally, it's back."
"Wrong! The water that was spilled out, then there was a reason to take it back. ”
"What do you mean ......"
"In the bag, of course."
"Why?"
