Chapter 294: Confucian Stratagem
After the unreserved talks in the Yuanmen military camp, and after the exchange of prints between the clerical officers of the two sides, the alliance and surrender were completed.
On the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month, Xin Zhuo led 200,000 cavalry back to the capital of Xingling Prefecture, and the people of the city welcomed him.
For the people, gentry, and businessmen of the eighteen provinces of Sanzhou, Jiang Yuqing is like a noble man from heaven, saving tens of millions of people from fire and water, they don't have too many ideas, whoever makes me live a good life, I will love, respect, and support whom.
Back at the mansion, Jiang Hu, the veteran handsome who had recovered from a long illness and had fought a long cold war with his nephew, led hundreds of civil officials in the government to greet him, all of whom were enthusiastic.
Later, the uncle and nephew had a deep and frank conversation in the private palace of the county king.
Jiang Hu seemed to have figured it out, his nephew was not an outsider, and the ending could not be changed, and after the Western Qin army followed Jiang Yuqing, he couldn't even mobilize a big soldier, so he simply accepted his fate.
In the future, whether it is a rebellion or a loyal minister of the court, since he can't oppose it, he can only follow his nephew all the way to the dark.
After Jiang Hu left, Xin Zhuo fell into entanglement and distress, without him, the Western Qin army would run out of food, and after the war, all kinds of ruins would be rebuilt, taxes should be reduced, the people should be resettled, the city walls should be repaired, and the army should be re-planned and trained.
He suddenly felt the pressure of an emperor, how to govern the huge territory? After all, the land of Western Qin and the territory of the Ten Kingdoms that had just been conquered, expanding the territory of thousands of miles, how should the tens of millions of Hu people in the Western Regions be appeased?
Now that the royal families of the Ten Kingdoms have been escorted to Xingling Prefecture, how will a large group of imperial concubines, princes, princesses, and nobles deal with it?
How to arrange the intertwined forces of the old aristocracy of the Ten Kingdoms? You can't kill them all, can you?
It is necessary to continue the next plan, whether to continue to fight the Three Kingdoms of the Ghost Fang, or to mobilize a large army to defend the palace army and the Shence army of the imperial court.
The Three Kingdoms of the Ghost Fang are the frontier powers of the Western Regions, and they are not so easy to take, I am afraid that it will be protracted and a tug-of-war will be launched, and the loss will be too heavy.
Will the army guarding against the imperial court immediately cause a two-sided war, and the three kingdoms of the ghost side will take the opportunity to make trouble? The situation of being attacked by the enemy on the back and abdomen is not easy to deal with.
Now that the purpose of the imperial court has been exposed, it is to let Jiang Yuqing die, and even did not hesitate to dispatch the three big venerables and four small venerables of Mr. Dongfang and the master of Baiheqiu.
This is a force that destroys the world for the great grandmaster, but he, Jiang Yuqing, survived, and turned the tables in adversity, killing and chasing.
Then, for those old politicians in the imperial court, it is necessary to reassess his strength, and the next attack and conspiracy will only be more fierce and brutal.
All these things really made Xin Zhuo, who was born a thief and had memories of his previous life, feel more pressured and his head was confused.
His mind was all on the next ritual and practice.
The luck of the Western Qin army can still be excavated, and it is difficult to say whether it is to rebel or continue to attack other countries.
But in any case, the land of Western Qin cannot be destroyed, otherwise the bargaining chips on which to survive will be gone.
The situation is such a situation, he can no longer do things everywhere like the little thieves before, everything is a matter of triggering the whole body!
The hall was silent.
Xin Zhuo looked at the internal affairs bamboo slips in the land of Western Qin in a daze, ticked a little bit, and smeared it.
Sitting below were Cui Ying'er, Han Qiniang and Sai Qingzhu, who were relatively speechless.
However, it has always given people the impression of being "big-chested and brainless", and the beautiful bear's paw is as beautiful as an elf, and first said: "Is the king of the county worried about the military salary, the land of the eighteen prefectures of the three prefectures of Western Qin, the territory of the ten countries, and the affairs of the people?"
The girls looked at her in surprise, frankly speaking, she had the closest relationship with the county king among the people, and she had always loved to play a little temper, and the county king had always spoiled her.
Xin Zhuo also looked at her and nodded, "Yes!"
Xiong Paw smiled: "It's better to open up sources and reduce expenditures, wipe out all unnecessary expenses, first stick to the grain and grass of the army, the army is the foundation of Western Qin, and then think about the people, the first thing is to encourage the gentry to donate money, donate food, give the same official background, and everyone tide over the difficulties together."
Cui Ying'er, Han Qiniang, Sai Qingzhu and others were surprised, what they said was very level.
There was a hint of smugness on the beautiful face of the bear paw, and he snorted arrogantly.
Xin Zhuo shook his head, what he said was no problem, but how difficult it was to have a thousand things, these things need to be done by civilian officials and the military, and there are no competent people under him, who wouldn't talk on paper?
Whatever you want, the right hand is here!
Jiang Yuxi's voice came from outside the door: "Metropolitan Governor, Taixungong is back!"
Xin Zhuomeng stood up, forgot to put on his boots, and his feet were only wrapped in socks, and hurriedly walked down the steps of the book and rushed out of the door.
The women glanced at each other and hurriedly followed.
Outside the main hall, on the main road of the mansion, Taixungong, who had gray hair and a straight body, had already walked over with a group of Confucian scholars.
"Sir, hard work!"
Xin Zhuo hurriedly greeted him, first bowed, and then grabbed Taixungong's old hands, his eyes were blazing and excited.
At first, when I saw Taixungong, I just thought that this old man was a bit ridiculous, and he himself was disdainful of Confucian masters.
But to defeat the Ten Kingdoms of the Western Regions, at least most of the credit is due to the group of scholars who play with mouth cannons like Tai Xungong.
Moreover, Confucian scholars are the best at governing the country and the world.
So, this group of mouth cannons is now a treasure again.
Taixungong looked at Xin Zhuo's bare feet, and there was a faint hint of excitement in his eyes, and he first bowed and worshipped: "Xiaguan has seen the king of the county."
Then he looked at the two people beside him and chuckled: "Old Chu, Siliu, how is it?"
A middle-aged man in his forties with three strands of beard and a woman in his thirties with big buckteeth and ugly eyes saluted at the same time, her eyes burning: "Grass people Song Lao Chu/Yu Siliu, I have seen the king of the county!"
Xin Zhuo looked at Taixun Gong, his heart moved slightly, Taixun Gong and these two are both great Venerables, not to mention anything else, martial arts are strong.
This is a group of capable people who are both civil and military.
Tai Xungong smiled slightly: "King of the county, these two are Confucian sages in the Western Regions, and they have contributed a lot to the strategy of destroying the Ten Kingdoms this time!"
"I have been waiting for the three great sages for a long time, just like a long drought and a rainstorm, go, enter the palace, I have prepared delicious wine and food."
Although Xin Zhuo felt that this kind of politeness was disgusting, he still smiled sensually, grabbed the hands of the two, and ordered Sai Qingzhu and the others: "Go and prepare!"
The women understood and returned to the temple first.
By the time Xin Zhuo and Taixun Gong and more than 30 Confucian scholars entered the palace of the county king, the delicacies of the mountains and seas, fruits and vegetables, musicians and dancing girls had been prepared.
After a group of people sat down, music, dance, and wine followed.
For a group of Confucian scholars, this is the recognition of those in power, and it is a kind of glory that has been sold to the princes and kings for ten years, and they are naturally happy!
Xin Zhuo seemed to be very happy, the smile on his face never disappeared, sweeping everyone from time to time, he found that his mentality has become very realistic now, who is useful to me, who I give glory and wealth, and I have a relationship, then get out of the calf.
Fortunately, Taixungong seemed to see through his thoughts, and smiled: "The county king now has five difficulties!"
Xin Zhuo was surprised: "Oh?"
Tai Xungong said: "A dilemma is how to govern the old land of the three states and the eighteen prefectures and the ten countries of the Western Regions after the war. The second dilemma is the military rations of the army of 500,000. The trilemma is how to arrange the royal family and nobles of the ten countries. The four dilemmas are whether the three kingdoms should be destroyed or not. ”
Looking at Xin Zhuo's face, he paused: "The five difficulties are the attitude of the imperial court, how to resist it."
