Chapter 896: The Emperor's Edict

Empire 560, October 10, auspicious ...... The sixth son of Emperor Huiwu of the Celestial Dragon Empire...... Prince Qing Situ Hao ascended the throne as the emperor, and directly changed the saint to the balance of no three years, and was a meritorious minister

After Situ Hao became the Emperor of Tianlong, he directly issued the six most far-reaching edicts, and broke the ancestral system of the Tianlong Empire, which was known as the Six Edicts of Tianping

The first - Dao Zhao Teng, restore the identity of Princess Shaohua, posthumously present Leng Invincible Imperial Horse Position, give Leng Zhuo's father the title of General Zhennan, Earl, and write it into the genealogy next to the royal family

After this, many people feel a little inexplicable, Princess Shaohua, it was all an old thing from decades ago, and it was actually turned out, as for this dispensable name of the royal family, except for the annual gift of a few hundred gold coins, there is no other benefit at all, of course, this is equivalent to admitting that your family has some royal blood

However, when the emperor's ministers saw the second edict, they realized that the first edict was just a foreshadowing, because the second edict was an edict of the king

Feng Wang Zhao, canonized the royal family side of the children, the imperial Ping'an Marquis Leng Zhuo as the king of Chu, of course, the edict is quite gorgeous, such as Leng Zhuo to pacify the turmoil in Chuzhou, to repel the invading enemy, these exploits fell - circle, and finally Leng Zhuo was written as the only big hero in the world, which is considered to be the big hat of the king of Chu

After the edict of the king, he did not move Leng Zhuo's military power, but in front of the Chuzhou soldiers and horses, he added the word Quanzhi, and became the right-to-know Chuzhou soldiers and horses, two more words, but the meaning in it was very different, this was to relieve Leng Zhuo's military power to lay a foreshadowing, because the royal family and princes could not lead the troops, this time was only because of the turbulent situation, so it was specially refused

The third edict Teng, canonized the former general Bai Qi as the Qingzhou soldier and horse envoy, the general, the imperial mighty marquis, and canonized Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao, several forbidden army commanders will be the general Zhao Yun as the marquis of Zhenwu, Zhang Liao and others as the uncle, and the grate is to win over the most loyal Hui Wu Emperor soldiers and horses

You must know that at this time, in addition to occupying the south of Qingzhou and the northwest, the vanguard has already arrived in Taiyang Province, and most of Qingzhou has been occupied by Bai Qi's troops except for the northeast peninsula under the control of Situ Buji

The hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses left in the north of Qingzhou were not the opponents of Zhang Liao's department at all, and they were defeated in the three battles of Huaishui and Chicheng Shangye, and the hundreds of thousands of troops retreated to Taiyang Mansion, leaving less than 40,000 remnants, while the soldiers and horses led by Bai Qi were swelled to 400,000 An troops, dominating the land of Qingzhou

It can be said that the third edict is a little more forced, originally Situ Hao planned to kill this armed force directly, but he never wanted to win over the failure, and thought that most of the generals and family members of the hole cards were taken away, and most of the people who were not picked up were also relieved of military power, and it no longer worked

And to give Bai Qi and others the title of marquis, Feng Bo even promised many benefits, which can be regarded as breaking the empire's previous successes, but the shape of the nose is stronger than people, and Situ Hao can only admit the occupation of Bai Qi and others in Qingzhou

The fourth edict is still from Qingzhou, and it is also Zhang Fengwang's order, canonizing Situ Buji as the king of Thailand, and at the same time opposing the pursuit of the king of Thailand and returning to the genealogy

The fifth edict appointed Tang Mingxue as the governor of the eight prefectures of Yangzhou, the governor of Yangzhou government affairs, and adjusted the Nangong family's position in Yangzhou

The sixth edict was to canonize the Imperial Snow Princess Situ Xue as the Holy Princess of the Empire, who was below the people and above the ten thousand people, and allowed to participate in political affairs

Since the first emperor of the empire, except for the direct descendants of the crown prince, there is no canonization of the foreign surname as the king, and the foreign surname king is gradually degraded in hundreds of years, and even directly raided the family and wiped out the clan

And the royal family, after a hundred years of rebellion of the kings, the canonization of the royal family and princes became more and more strict, and at the same time ordered the royal princes not to lead the military power and not to hold positions

Therefore, the empire is not without princes, but these royal princes are all kept in captivity, that is, a herd of pigs who can only eat, drink and enjoy themselves, and compared with the power of the commoners, the value is - heaven - earth, which is very different

If there is a reason for the canonization of Leng Zhuo, after all, Leng Zhuo is now full of wings in Chuzhou, for the sake of the empire, canonization as the king is an expedient measure, it is not impossible, but the canonization of Situ Buer has caused a lot of controversy, Situ Buer was the prince who fought for the throne with Emperor Shenwu back then, and was listed as the head of the imperial rebellion against the king, and the list of ten steps of amnesty, Situ Hao actually flopped for this vein, which can be said to shake the imperial capital

What's more, Situ Hao actually appointed Situ Buji as the commander of the Imperial Navy, and he didn't know which string was wrong with Situ Hao

As for the canonization of Bai Qi and others and the appointment of governors of the eight prefectures of Yangzhou, it was not so controversial, and the promulgation of these six edicts can be said to have set off a monstrous wave, including the cabinet, and many ministers of the DPRK and China have gone to the court to advise them

Situ Hao ignored these and let the attack go, of course, Situ Hao was not idle, during this period, Situ Hao vigorously reorganized the army and rebuilt the ten forbidden army sequences of the imperial capital, the first of which was ...... The second and third forbidden armies were expanded from Situ Hao's old foundation, and the fourth and fifth were composed of the Youzhou army, which were all composed of master regiments, with five divisions under their jurisdiction, including baggage divisions, and 180,000 soldiers and horses for each forbidden army

The sixth to tenth forbidden armies are the incorporated Gyeonggi Surrender Army, this part of the soldiers and horses is a lot, but most of them are pulling against each other, there is not much combat effectiveness, Situ Hao simply selected the elite among them, and organized into three small divisions of the forbidden army, counting the baggage divisions, each forbidden army has about 90,000 people

In this way, the number of soldiers and horses available in Situ Hao's hands has reached 1.35 million, in addition, there are 100,000 guards in the imperial capital and 30,000 guards, but this force is stationed in the imperial capital and will not move easily

As the ten forbidden armies gradually took shape, Situ Hao suddenly showed his fangs, and the queen mother was directly admitted to the cold palace and put under house arrest

The three dukes with the highest status in the empire were completely hollowed out, the cabinet replaced three people one after another, and at the same time, four ministers of the six ministries were also replaced

In just a short period of time, most of the people who questioned Situ Hao were imprisoned, and there were not a few who copied the family, and no one dared to underestimate this high-ranking emperor in the imperial capital

"Your Majesty, the property obtained by the raid has been counted, there are about 230,000,000 pieces of gold, about 50,000,000 pieces of silver, 870,000 hectares of land in various places, 1,000-167 complete shops, and more than 5,000 shops. There are more than 17,000 sets, more than 30,000 weapons, no less than 300,000 stones of grain and grass, 27 sealed wine cellars, 150,000 jars of wine, and more than 56,000 slaves in the house, of which 30,000 are sturdy men."

"Hmph, this group of moths, just copying -- some second- and third-rate families can scavenge so much money, food, and ordnance, those big families don't know how much they can find" Although Situ Hao had a rough idea, his heart still jumped violently when he heard it

"Your Majesty, this time is also a last resort, the treasury is empty, it is already beyond its means, the local fiscal and taxation system has collapsed, and if you want to support an army of millions, the courtiers are rich, and the sun rises ten thousand gold, you can only use this method to alleviate it, but this - hand can not be used too much, otherwise it will definitely cause the anti-foreign of the nobles and wealthy families in the imperial capital, and then the gains outweigh the losses."

Situ Haoyan couldn't understand this truth, leaned on the dragon chair, and said tiredly: "Only by sitting in this position can I understand that this position is not so easy to sit on, with this money is enough for us to use, the next step is to rearm and crusade against Zhongzhou Datang."

"It's no later to attack the Tang Dynasty, Prince Liang and Prince Yong are now under the offensive of the Tang army, and they are retreating one after another, and the general trend is not there, and in order to conquer these two states, most of the elite of the Tang army have been transferred to the west, and this is the time for us to attack Zhongzhou again."

"-- In the future, we can regain a large amount of lost territory and take the initiative; second, we can mobilize the troops and horses of Qingzhou and Chuzhou to consume the strength of both sides; third, we can take the opportunity to dispatch some officials to regain local power; fourth, even if it is the worst, it can make the Tang army lose the harvest after the autumn; fifth, we can also take the opportunity to temper the soldiers and horses, and this pair can go out to fight against the Tang Dynasty, which is the right time."

"Well, now the only thing I'm worried about is Bai Qi in Qingzhou, whether Leng Zhuo in Chuzhou will be edicted?"

"They will, it's just a matter of how much they will invest, but as long as they make an appearance, it will be enough to contain most of the soldiers and horses of the Tang Army, we can take the opportunity to take back Youzhou, and those people have to find a way to send them away, these people are too greedy"

"Hmph, these guys think that the membrane is taken casually, don't worry, I have arranged a big meal for them, dare to bargain with Lian, threaten Yu Xuan, if Lian doesn't give them a little bit of power, they won't know what their last name is"

Situ Hao said with a cold smile

"Your Majesty, the minister still has to go to check the property and put it in the warehouse, so he will retire first."

"Well, Aiqing pay attention to the body"

The huge hall, empty and silent, Situ Hao sat on the throne, leaning on the back of the chair, when he didn't sit here, he thought about it day and night, but when he sat here, he knew the difficulty of this position, but he finally survived the first pass, and then it was a big hurdle, defeating the Tang Dynasty, as long as the Tang Dynasty was defeated, Concubine Kyushu would be just around the corner

Thinking of this, Situ Hao's exhaustion was swept away, and he picked up the music on the table and read it
