Chapter 228: If you want to fulfill your promise, you can only take some people
The same road, but with different feelings.
Hubu Shangshu Longqiao was neatly dressed, came out of the mansion, and rode through the streets and markets in a horse-drawn carriage, the homeless people were dull-faced, entrenched on the side of every street, and there was a faint cry in the air, and there was still the blood left by yesterday's fighting.
Occasionally, passing through the field of vision were Wei soldiers who were bound by ropes, and each of them had a frightened and numb look on their faces.
The heavens of Wei have changed, and the emperor killed himself in the Xuanzheng Hall yesterday.
Even the crown prince is dead, and many of the once shady civil and military people in the court are gone, and their families died on the way out of the city.
Fortunately, the army of Yan State did not slaughter the city, only a few people were affected in the war and died some, and now the entire Luyang people are panicked, I don't know what the King of Yan Xia who entered the palace will do next, the operation and maintenance of the court and the city depend on their more than 30 old ministers.
Long Qiao watched the people coming and going in the past, and the prosperous and prosperous capital was reduced to a situation where soldiers from other countries were rampant on the streets.
It's sad just to think about it.
Soon, the carriage entered the imperial city, got off the car, and walked into the palace step by step, and the only remaining Wei ministers outside the Xuanzheng Hall were already waiting here, but after a closer look, there were two people missing.
I heard Yuan Feng come over and say that it was the Ministry of Industry and Zhongshu Ling, who had taken poison at home and followed the emperor.
There was no shortage of such courtiers in all dynasties, Long Qiao just nodded, and stood in the queue silently, everyone did not laugh as casually as before, and pointed out the great Wei Jiangshan.
"Ladies and gentlemen, enter the hall."
A gray-haired eunuch leaned over, pressed small steps to the front of the civil and military standing in two rows, and whispered, his eyes were slightly red, and he did not forget to whisper: "Now that the sky is changing, you are all the courtiers of the first emperor, you should save your lives, don't mess around." ”
For eunuchs, they have always looked down on eunuchs in the past, and they don't even bother to say a word.
Right now, these Long Qiao and the others pursed their lips, looking at the eunuchs with wet red eyes, and they felt a lot of emotion in their hearts, and it would be them who were really sad.
Several people pursed their lips and arched their hands towards the eunuch and bowed silently.
"Ladies and gentlemen, go in, that Yan Kingdom Xia King is coming over soon." The eunuch bowed and retreated to one side.
Long Qiao and Yuan Feng walked into the main hall, trembling to the side and standing still, not long after, a series of footsteps sounded outside, and in the afterglow of the slightly sideways face, the generals of the Yan Army walked in without the slightest queue, talking and laughing while walking, seeing Long Qiao and others here, they did not have any statement, and walked to the side to stand still.
After a moment, the eunuch at the gate of the palace shouted: "King Xia enters the palace!" ”
Neat footsteps sounded outside, a team of armor soldiers holding halberds and pressing knives, like an iron wall pushed over, the shaking body armor leaves were rattling, in the front, Su Chen, who was dressed in a royal suit and hung the Xia Wang sword on his waist, led Dian Wei, Li Xuanba, and Wu Zixun to stride over.
"Meet the King!" Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Lu Bu and other generals in the army on the right bowed down, Qin Qiong and Zhang Yu were still a little rusty, after all, they had only been here for a short time, and they were still at the moment when they had just died for Li Shimin and Zhu Di's monarchy.
But no one blames it, after all, all the generals came over like this.
The old ministers of the Wei State on the left naturally couldn't shout, but they just bowed down, and in the afterglow, they watched the steps of the Xia King and walked over.
Then, Su Chen's voice rang out.
"The emperor is dead, and Luyang has fallen into the hands of Lone, but there are still the remaining eight states that have not been attached." Su Chen walked up the royal steps and came to the dragon case, and sat on the dragon chair covered with tiger skin with the golden sword, "I don't want to move troops, and I want to get the Central Plains, what do you say?" ”
The old ministers of Wei were silent.
"I don't want to fight anymore...... Fighting too long and dying too many people is not good for Lone and others. But Lone is not showing weakness to you, Lone is different from Zhao Chuanting, Lone has been killed all the way. ”
Su Chen's smile gradually converged, and the gentle words just now changed suddenly, and he raised his hand and slammed the dragon case.
"You are silent, just want to see King Qin's soldiers come to Luyang to continue to fight against Lone's army?! Let me tell you, the elite of Luyang are vulnerable in front of the soldiers under the command of Lone, not to mention the soldiers and horses of the state and county, do you really want to watch all the sons of the Central Plains die in battle? ”
This sentence poked the heart of Long Qiao, the servant of the household department, he hesitated for a moment, and stood up regardless of Yuan Feng's pull behind him.
"King Xia, I don't know what you want to do?"
Su Chen looked at him with satisfaction, "Send a decree to let the states be attached, anyway, your Wei clan died in the war, however, Lone will also be considerate of the officials of the states, after all, the sudden change of dynasty, most of them can't accept it, so they will continue to hang the banner of Wei first, and then remove after adapting." ”
There was a pause in his tone.
"Of course, these are all wishful thinking, but what is the final result depends on your means, after all, you are more or less a big family behind you, and every state has assets, if it is broken, you don't want to see it, right? These words are not Lonely's threats and warnings, but persuasion, I hope you will do your best! ”
The voice was flat, and it was hard to imagine that this was from the mouth of a twenty-year-old young man, which made De Longqiao and the others inevitably compare it with Zhao Chuanting in their hearts.
However, they must listen to the words of this Xia King, most of the court officials have the support of big clans behind them, how can there be any common people coming up, and there are many assets in the lands of various states, if they are broken or confiscated, they will naturally feel distressed.
"That's all there is to say, in addition, the official warehouse is opened, the price of grain is leveled, and a porridge shed is opened outside the city to help the homeless. Tell them that the fighting is over and that they can return to their families and farm. ”
"Yes!"
Long Qiao, Yuan Feng and the others bowed their hands, and with Su Chen waving his hand, knowing that he was asking them to leave, he retreated to the palace gate one by one and turned to leave.
When these old ministers of Wei left, Su Chen spoke to the generals in the army.
"The idlers are gone, it's time to talk about our own internal affairs."
As soon as these words came out, the generals on the right side laughed one after another, and this simple sentence can make many people feel comfortable.
"But I still remember that Lone said before that he wanted to let the soldiers under Lone get the land, and Lone couldn't break his promise and break his trust with them! But Lone knew that there were many clans in Luyang, and most of the fields were in their hands. ”
Dong Zhuo grinned and said, "Then find an excuse to kill one batch, and the other batch will naturally present the deed with interest." ”
Su Chen set his eyes on the rest of the generals.
"Generals, do you have anything to add?"
Naturally, it is impossible for the wealthy gentry to take out the land easily, after all, this is the foundation of their life, and now they can only find some excuses to take some land and give it out while they are not completely settled.
"O king, you may take land, but you must not harm the people." Zhao Yun arched his hand and said, this is how he persuaded Liu Bei back then.
"General Zhao rest assured, he won't hurt the people, and he is only for the gentry clan!"
Su Chen saw that no one had any objections, so he finalized the matter.
"Ladies and gentlemen, then choose some big families, knock them out, and take half of their fields, and it is not good to drive people to a dead end.
There is one more thing, after getting the field, you have to implement the government military system, this is a big reform, General Qin, you will have to help a lot when the time comes! ”
"Yes!"
In the queue, Qin Qiong came out with a smile, stroked his beard and nodded, no one here knew better than him.
After that, after saying some more words, Su Chen sent people to search for Pei Min in the potential city.
The discussion was settled, and in the court, the generals gave up their promises, and immediately, they dispersed in twos and threes.
