Chapter 298: Reviewing the Three Armies
"The ceremony of the Zen throne has been completed, and hundreds of officials have entered the palace to meet the new emperorββ"
Loud voices resounded through the sky.
β¦β¦
The sky clouds floated over the blue, and the Queen Mother Jiang Wan pulled her son Beigong Shu to Su Chen, who slowly turned around, pressed her son's shoulder, and saluted the new emperor.
"Yan Guogong doesn't have to salute, your mother and son will go down first, and someone will settle you."
Jiang Wan walked to the stone steps with her son's shoulder, stopped and glanced at the man over there when she went down, lowered her pretty face, and walked down the high platform with Beigong Shu, and then was led away by two eunuchs.
A large number of palace maids and temple people also rushed over at this moment, and under the assignment of the guards, they carried wooden barrels and cloth towels to wash the blood stains on the ground.
Under the Zen stage, a group of civil and military officers stood in two columns, and they had already left for Chengyun Hall first, leaving only a chair and the old man who was paralyzed on the chair.
He stared at the sky without blinking, and a guard came over to sniff, shook his head at his colleague, and then carried away with the chair.
On the conferring platform, Zheng He and Wang Lang stepped forward to salute, "Meet Your Majesty!" β
"Two hard work, go, go with me!"
The bead curtain shook, Su Chen held up the hands of the two with both hands, and then walked in front, striding down the stone steps, and reminiscing about the emotions brought by the First Emperor just now.
The feeling of saying a statement that dominates the world is really overbearing and enjoyable.
The court officials below have all gone to the Chengyun Palace, and the soldiers are also exiting the Imperial City School in an orderly manner under the command of the general, as for the foreign envoys over there, they are still standing there, and the officials of the Honglu Temple are communicating with them, and then invite them to follow to the Chengyun Palace.
The decapitated corpse was being thrown into the car by the Imperial City Armor Warriors and pulled away.
Su Chen stepped down from the Zen platform, and a group of generals here also came up, there was no one else at this time, their faces were full of smiles, Li Bai took a sip of wine: "Congratulations to Your Majesty!" β
"Haha!"
Su Chen withdrew his tense expression, and smiled at the generals, "If it weren't for you, I would not be able to have today!" β
After that, he beckoned all the generals to go to the Chengyun Hall together, and at the same time, he ordered: "Dian Wei, Xu Chu open the way!" β
Xu Chu and Dian Wei looked solemn, and immediately gave up their hands and shouted: "Oh! β
The two of them carried their weapons and led the shield halberders to the front, and the palace guards also followed the emperor who was guarding with the generals here, forming a huge torrent that extended the hall in the distance.
Along the way, everyone asked Su Chen how he felt about ascending the throne, and they also talked about how the respective lords who assisted him back then achieved the emperor's business, and also announced the emperor and the people of the world like today.
Outside the Chengyun Palace, everyone's footsteps slowed down, and the conversation moved away from the matter of ascending the throne, talking about what Su Chen would do after he ascended the throne and became emperor.
Lu Bu walked in the front row of the crowd, and now he walked out of the shadow on the White Gate Tower, and after two years, he had already been reborn and rode on another road.
He looked at the civil and military forces who entered the palace gate in front of him, and said in a low voice: "In the past two years, almost half of the time has been fighting and killing, although we are not tired, but the sons and daughters under our command are tired, Your Majesty is going to think next?" If we want to fight, our generals will naturally receive the order. β
"Don't fight for the time being, the north is unified, it's time to raise the people and build up momentum, rectify internal affairs, and accumulate troops." Su Chen walked slowly with his hands under the guard of the generals, his eyes were serious, "...... I have so many soldiers who can fight, and in the future, they will all be middle and lower-level generals who will expand the army, and they can bring out more troops." β
Li Jing looked at it from the side: "In fact, you can sweep the world in one go." β
"I can't afford to drag ......" Guo Jia shook his head and interrupted Li Jing's words, "After years of conquest, the northern land can't hold on, especially sweeping the world in one go, the people can't hold it anymore, the Central Plains is rich, but the side has not yet returned to the heart, and the time of the conquest is long, and the people will change..... which will damage the foundation of His Majesty at this time." β
Under the long eaves, Qin Qiong pressed the two hammers on his waist with both hands, and his voice was heroic: "Fengxiao's words are wrong, when we followed Taizong and established the country, we didn't fight the same way, and we also destroyed countless countries, and the battle for the founding of the country, how could it be less?" Otherwise, how to conquer the world! β
If the civil and military officials on the side of Chengyun Hall heard the conversation of the generals here, I am afraid that they would have to be scared out of cold sweat, how can there be such a warlike group of generals today, it is as if they have not fought enough.
In front, Su Chen was dressed in an imperial suit with a dragon pattern on a black background, pressing the head of the sword and continuing to walk, the expression on his face did not change, his eyes narrowed for a while, and after that, he still sighed, "The national conditions are different, I want to follow the example of the First Emperor and unify the world in one go, but Guo Saijiu is right about one thing, the foundation of the northern land is weak, and the people can't hold it." β
"Let's take a year or two to recuperate."
Su Chen stepped on the stone steps, walked to the main hall step by step, paused for a moment, and looked up at the imperial throne above the imperial steps in the hall: "...... However, I can let the Western Regions and Xirong harass the two countries of Qi and Liang, and then I will go to Luyang in the Central Plains. β
"Luyang?" Everyone was puzzled.
"Invite the four countries to show the world's heroes and martial arts!"
The moment the words fell categorically, Su Chen shook off the hem of his robe and led everyone into the Chengyun Palace.
β¦β¦.
"The new emperor enters the palace, and the hundred officials bowβ"
In the Golden Palace, the civil and military forces stood on both sides in an orderly manner according to the previous queue, and now in addition to the Shangshu of the Military Department and the Squire of the Criminal Department, there are five ministers who are permanently absent.
The civil and military forces in the hall were excited, most of them were newly promoted officials from King Xia, and they had not witnessed the birth of a new dynasty, only when Beigongye was in the past, there was no such a big scene.
The whole hall was quiet at this time, and the sound of breathing could be heard, waiting for the arrival of the new emperor, and after a while, there was a eunuch's voice outside the hall shouting: "Your Majesty enters the palace!" β
Outside, there was a sudden sound of heavy footsteps, and a team of armor soldiers followed the two giants to open the way, and lined up in two formations outside the palace gate, which was a loud sound, and the sound of weapons colliding.
The figure wearing a dragon-patterned black-bottomed gold-rimmed robe walked in with a big coat, and there were also powerful and tall generals such as Lu Bu and Li Xuanba who came in together, and then stood in front of the Wuchen queue, Dian Wei and Xu Chu followed Su Chen directly to the front of the imperial steps, and then walked to the left and right seven or eight steps, standing on both sides of the imperial steps.
In the midst of civil and military affairs, Wang Lang and Li Bai bowed down first, leading the ministers to speak: "The ministers meet Your Majesty!" β
Only then did the officials on both sides react, and shouted in unison: "Meet Your Majestyβ"
"Get up."
Su Chen didn't have so many pretentious imperial words, said casually, raised his hand to everyone, stepped on the imperial steps in a hurry, untied the big one, threw it to Wu Zixun, bypassed the dragon case and sat down directly on the golden dragon chair, put his hands on the armrests on both sides, and leaned back.
Below, everyone saw him sit down, and then he kept standing up straight.
"I ascended the throne today and held the first court meeting, I don't want to listen to flattery, and I don't have time to listen to the factional disputes in my parents for the time being."
Su Chen leaned on the dragon chair and raised his hand: "I am different from ordinary emperors, I like to speak simple and clear, you must remember it in the future." β
"Yes, Your Majesty!" The ministers on the left and right responded in unison.
A moment later, Su Chen's voice sounded above the main hall.
"Today I want to say a few things, the first thing, I take Xirong, naturally to manage, not the end of the battle, they bow down and proclaim the end of the army, when the time comes, the soldiers they raise are strong and strong, and come to plague the northland, and my soldiers will die in vain. Therefore, I want to set up the Xirong Political and Pacification Department in the grassland, and set up a political envoy to supervise Xirong, assist the tribes in managing people's livelihood, and strengthen trade and culture! β
Su Chen raised his hand and raised the second finger, and in the swing of the bead curtain, he slowly got up, "The second thing, change the Yan State script and books, whether it is the North or the Central Plains, all practice the Chinese literature, I will send Wang Yushi to his post to personally supervise this matter, change the font, repair the classics, and create the imperial examination, and those who study in the future will study five subjects, and the top three of each subject will be selected for the imperial court." β
Just one or two things were already earth-shattering reforms, which shocked the courtiers in the palace into a cold sweat.
Their expressions seemed to be in full view of Su Chen, and he laughed: "Don't worry, if it is an obstacle, it will be swept away, the family property will be confiscated, and the family will be enslaved, there is no need to discuss." β
"As for the third thing, I have to support the people, and the land is cultivated, and all the states, counties, and counties must open new fields, report the number of reclamations, the number of people who should be recruited, and the way of merchants, and also raise them.
There is also sowing new grain, this autumn, Yanzhou tried to plant ten new grains, the Ministry of Industry should keep an eye on me, not to make mistakes, this new grain is related to whether the people in the states will be hungry in the future, understand? β
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Cao Xinyan, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, should be listed below.
"One last thing."
Su Chen stood behind the dragon case, his gaze swept down, "I want to go to the Central Plains and review the three armies." β
Outside the hall, the spring sun shines on the earth, and the brand-new Xiazi Emperor flag rises on the head of the city, which is the shape of the white dragon pattern on a black background with the posture of dominating the world, stroking in the wind.
Three years have passed, and the first year of Yuanxing has begun.
Su Chen ascended the throne as the emperor, moved to the Central Plains Luyang to review the three armies, soon after, the province of Zhongshu with the seal, the news rushed out of the imperial city with a fast horse, spread throughout the states, and quickly went south.
