Chapter 245: Zhuo Lang succeeds to the throne
Hearing this, those guards couldn't help but look at each other, it turned out that their boss really abandoned them, and now their life and death were actually in their own hands.
Some of the guards immediately put down their weapons and stood aside, while others hesitated for a while and came out of the ranks. They are reluctant to wipe their necks, the key is not worth it, they have come all the way to other people's territory, that is called aggression There is no justice at all, although the excuse they find seems to be high-sounding, but the clear-eyed person does not know.
"Okay, that's right, the last few people don't know what to think, either surrender or die, and no one forces you, you make your own choice, ten counts of time, don't blame me for being polite." Ten, nine, eight......" Zhuo Ya looked at the hesitant soldiers and couldn't help but sneer.
There was no shortage of such indecisive people, and out of humanity, they were given another chance, lest they be accused of killing prisoners of war indiscriminately.
When the count reached four, two people had already stood up, and when they counted to one, the remaining people chose to stand over.
Zhuo Ya finally understood the hearts of the Loulan soldiers, it turned out that they didn't want to come all the way here to suffer, they were also forced to be helpless.
"Since everyone has chosen to take refuge in our Western Regions, then we will behave well in the future, the king of the Western Regions treats all soldiers equally, there is no distinction between high and low, as long as you kill the enemy wholeheartedly, you will be rewarded for your meritorious service. Zhuoya promised in front of the three armies, of course she knew that winning the hearts of the army was the first plan of the soldiers.
Zoya and Agus came to the imperial city with a large army, and when the guards saw that it was the princess and the concubine who had returned, they immediately opened the city gate and let them go!
A group of people entered the city in a mighty way, and the people in the city lined up to greet them, some sent fruits, some sent flowers, and some aunts sent rice wine, all of them used their own ways to thank this team for rescuing the suffering, and they became the gods of war in the hearts of the people of the capital of the Western Regions for a while.
The king of the Western Regions even set up a celebration banquet for them to catch the wind and wash the dust, and the scene was comparable to the princess's wedding.
"Thanks to the timely arrival of the colt and the princess this time, we were able to quickly solve our predicament, otherwise we would not know when we would have to fight against Loulan's elite soldiers. The king of the Western Regions raised his glass to the horses and princesses.
The two of them hurriedly stood up, respectfully raised their wine glasses, and bowed to the surroundings, only then did they drink down, and Zhuo Ya said humbly: "This time, it is because of the strong support of the Mexican Kingdom that I and the horse were able to show our leadership skills. In the future, these elite soldiers will be our bathing troops, led by the horses themselves, to protect the family and defend the country!"
"It's good, my princess and the colt are all good, I'm very happy, the princess does have the vision and the opinion to choose a good colt. Let's have another toast for the princess and the pony to grow old together!" The king of the Western Regions took the lead in raising his glass, and everyone below immediately raised his glass in response.
For a time, the atmosphere of the banquet was very high, and people pushed their glasses and changed their glasses to talk about wine, and the conversation was very speculative.
The soldiers who surrendered were also arranged to different teams and trained together with the original soldiers, and the treatment was exactly the same as them, without the slightest discrimination.
After the feast of the ministers, the king of the Western Regions made a decision that everyone did not expect, that is, to give up his throne to his son Temu Zhuolang, because this siege made him feel that he was indeed old, and he could never keep up with the rhythm of young people in decision-making, they could be fearless, and their brains were open, but he would hesitate after thinking about it, and almost hurt the people of the capital because of his indecision.
Although the subjects tried their best to persuade him, the king of the Western Regions had made up his mind and did not change his mind, but chose an auspicious day three days later to hold the enthronement ceremony of the new king.
Three days have soon arrived, perhaps because the new king has ascended the throne in accordance with the will of heaven. The weather was unusually fine, the sky was clear, and the wind was calm.
Surrounded by everyone, Temu Zhuolang went to the Temple of Heaven to hold a ceremony to worship the gods.
After the mage recited a mantra that no one could understand, and then lit a beacon fire on the rooftop, the new king Temu Zhuolang began to raise a glass to the gods, then bowed down to the gods, and finally the old king crowned the new king.
After all the ceremonies are completed, he returns to the main hall to hold the canonization ceremony.
First of all, the princess and the concubine who had meritorious service to the enemy this time, the princess was promoted to the eldest princess, and the concubine was named the protector of the country, enjoying the fief and hereditary system.
This time, the heroes are simply the princess and his wife, and the others have not moved in the city, so they have not come in handy at all.
After the canonization of the heroes, he began to canonize the harem beauties, because Temu Zhuolang's harem was relatively simple, only one princess was directly canonized as the queen, two side concubines were canonized as princesses, and three concubines were canonized as ladies.
Everyone was very happy, and the canonization ceremony was held very smoothly.
In fact, Agus didn't want titles and fiefdoms, because he didn't want to take the road of official career, and originally thought that everything was on the right track, so he took Zhuoya back to Mexico, and then found a famous mountain and river to live in seclusion, living an ordinary life of a man and a woman weaving.
And he can't do without Mexico, although he is a colt in the Western Regions, he is still a native of Mexico, and he always has to return to Mexico to develop.
After the canonization is completed, the celebration officially begins. Temu Zhuolang led his ministers to drink wine and eat meat, which is the unique culture of the Western Regions.
After three rounds of drinking, Argus came to Temu Zhuolang, clenched his fists, and said respectfully: "Congratulations to the king on his accession to the throne today, and the minister Argus intends to ask for a request to know whether to speak or not?"
Hearing this, Zhuo Lang smiled heartily and said: "You kid and I are polite, if you have something to say, if you have a fart, you will let it go, and you will twist and pinch like a girl." ”
"King Xie, the minister wants to only have the title of protector of the country, not fiefs and rewards, because the minister himself is an idle cloud and wild crane, and he can't stay in the Western Regions with peace of mind, but one day the Western Regions need a minister, and the minister will arrive as soon as possible. Agus told Zhuo Lang his thoughts as they were.
Zhuo Lang pondered for a moment, and felt that what Agus said also made sense, because he was the deputy general of the Mexican Kingdom, and now he was the concubine of the Western Regions, and the two did not conflict, but if he enjoyed the fiefdom and became the protector here, it would be treacherous and disrespectful to the Mexican State, and in this way, it would not be beneficial to him or the Western Regions.
But he only enjoys the title, he doesn't want a back cover, he can return to Mexico at any time, and he can come to the Western Regions at any time when there is something going on in the Western Regions.
"Okay, this king will agree to your request, but you must remember that you are not only a colt of the Western Regions, but also the protector of the country here, and when you are needed, you must hurry here with a whip, because this will always be your second home. Zhuo Lang said with a straight face.
"Yes, the minister understands that the minister is not only the concubine of the Western Regions, but also the protector of the Western Regions, swearing to defend the territorial integrity of the Western Regions. Agus replied solemnly.
"Okay, it's okay to have your words, it is indeed the supreme honor of the people of the Western Regions to have such a protector as you. Zhuo Lang nodded approvingly.
The old king of the Western Regions looked at a peaceful atmosphere, and secretly felt happy in his heart for his great decision, he could not only travel to the famous mountains and rivers, but also enjoy life, and live a comfortable life of three full and one poured food for a few years.
On the second day of the canonization ceremony, the old king of the Western Regions couldn't wait to dress up in disguise and take a few plainclothes guards out to enjoy the mountains and rivers.
Agus and Zoya also left the Western Regions and returned to Mexico.
"You said that Nalan enlightenment is so hateful, shouldn't we take the opportunity to crusade against him, so that he has no chance to breathe, and catch him off guard?" Xu Yu'er said excitedly when she heard about the victory over the Western Regions.
"Pull it down, we can't learn from him, it's okay to start a war, it will be hated by the people, and it will be shameful. Zhuo Ya said with a light smile.
"I didn't expect your consciousness to become so high, hehe, it's really impressive. Xu Nuo'er said with a smile.
"You are all pregnant people now, and you are not sure that the child will come out and go directly to the sea like Nezha?" Zhuo Ya teased with a smile.
"Shhhh Xu Nuo'er muttered earnestly.
"Haha! You're scared at the beginning, and then you'll have to conceive a second or third to see what you do. Zoya gloated with a grim face.
"I don't want to do it, anyway, I don't want to be sinned, if I want, let him find someone else to live, anyway, I won't give birth. Xu Nuo'er said with a straight face.
"Okay, okay, don't be angry, otherwise it's not good for the baby, maybe he really won't love it when he's angry, then it's troublesome." Zoya laughed.
"Why isn't Xingchen here, hasn't he gone down yet?" Agus looked at the sky and felt that Mo Xingchen should also come back, and couldn't help asking.
"Yes, it's time to come back, but there are a lot of things going on in the government and the opposition during this time, and he is getting busier and busier, it's good that you guys are back, and he has a helper again. Xu Nuo'er said with a smile.
"Hey, I really said Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here. When did you come back?" I saw Mo Xingchen walking in with King Rui and Fan Xingwen.
"We also just came back, have we had a lot of things going on in the court recently?" Seeing Mo Xingchen's tired face, Agus couldn't help but ask.
"Well, it's a lot, the south is seriously flooded, the north is frequent, this south-to-north water diversion is not a trivial matter, it is really anxious, and peasant uprisings are also emerging in various places, we are discussing countermeasures. Mo Xingchen nodded slightly.
"Doesn't the imperial court allocate a portion of the silver taels every year to repair the embankment for disaster relief?" asked Agus, puzzled.
"Yes, but the relief money has not reached the grassroots level, so it is impossible to say, otherwise the levees would still be washed away and people would still be displaced. Mo Xingchen sighed lightly.
