Martial Arts Master Travelled to Ancient Time and Farms - Chapter 333
Chapter 333 The world holds hands, the country wipes the sword
The autumn of the 20th year of Yuanfeng was spent in the cycle of old and new.
One dry and one prosperous, like all things.
The autumn wind has passed, and the winter snow is covered, but can spring be far behind?
For some people, this winter seems too long.
The imperial concubine Jin’s party suffered a thorough purge, and the Murong family, which was once powerful in the court of Wei, also ushered in the danger of being destroyed with the defeat of Murong Hong.
Some of these people may be innocent, but so what?
As long as they have been on that ship and been under its shadow, they cannot escape punishment. The change of power is ruthless. What’s more, this is a rebellion!
It was the captured Wang family who had a good life in Wei.
They are different from the Concubine Party, it is purely a matter of the position of the hostile country. Now that the state of Qi is gone, and the state of Wei has gained a huge territory, it can show tolerance to the Wang family to show its demeanor as a great country.
Just as the Southern Tang Dynasty fell, Song Taizu took Li Houzhu to the capital and made him a Marquis. Brocade clothes and fine food, soft pillows in the high hall, just like the rich and noble princes, who have never been defeated.
Is this Song Taizu silly and sweet? That must not be the case, this is the tolerance, it is the pattern!
Of course, after Li Houzhu arrived in Bianjing, he actually didn’t live a good life. He only lived a drunken princely life for two years, and then died, so there is no need to mention this.
All in all, for now, the Wang family is doing well.
Xiao Man granted Wang Yong the title of Marquis of Twilight, and gave him a mansion, allowing all the captured Wang’s children to live in it, and he was treated as a first-class marquis according to the living regulations. Even, Wang Yong can still receive annual salary according to the day!
Although the title of “Marquis of Twilight” is a bit insulting, and its title cannot be hereditary, but what about the subjugated people and the defeated generals?
Once the news of Xiao Man’s move was announced, who in the world would not praise it?
Hundreds of officials in the imperial court, scholar-officials, reckless folk, ordinary people in the market… No matter the temple or the rivers and lakes, no matter the Wei State or the Chen State, or even the Wuhu tribes, they all breathe a sigh of relief.
Why?
Because Xiao Man can really fight!
He is not the kind of emperor who rests comfortably on the merits of his ancestors, only looks at the world from within the palace walls, and governs the country by relying on power and balance.
He got his start by relying on war!
The reason is so simple and rude, the truth, after all, it will always be within the scope of the Iron Fist.
Is the record of conquering the entire Qi country enough?
Enough, enough.
—”Everyone” even hoped that the new emperor of the Wei State would not have any other achievements, and this one alone would be enough for him to last him a lifetime.
Don’t learn from the late emperor, if you are a little more “iron and bloody”, everyone will die.
However, Xiao Man’s bloodbath against the imperial concubine’s party, and even his merciless relegation of his own mother’s family, the He family, are still palpitating.
Wang’s family was treated kindly, and it became a signal of relaxation at this time, leaving a little room for everyone’s tense nerves.
This is the way of the king with grace and power.
You don’t have to wait until winter is over, it’s still early winter, the reign title of Wei State is still in the Yuan Dynasty, Xiao Man has not yet been changed to Yuan Dynasty, and the whole court of Wei State is already intimidated by Xiao Man, the new emperor.
Chen Guozhu handed over the letter of credence again, and Xiao Man still dealt with it according to the late emperor’s regulations: temporarily detained and not released.
However, Xiao Man gave a reason: “The old year is not over, how can I easily change the old order of the late emperor? There is no rush.”
What old order did the first emperor have? Didn’t the first emperor also temporarily detain him?
But so what? You are the boss, you have the final say.
Authority is established little by little in this way.
Once the final decision is made, gradually, the final decision is made again and again.
Wei Guochaotang passed through the harsh winter with an attitude of clarity that had never been seen before, and gradually, it really ushered in the warmth of spring and the blossoming of flowers.
When spring came, Xiao Man went to the altar to pray to heaven during the Spring Festival, and changed Yuan Xihe.
This gentle and sunny-sounding year name seems to have a particularly friendly temperament, which makes Wei Guochaotang, which has been silent all winter, gradually liven up.
The new emperor is not an unreasonable King Yama, there are some things that should be said, but there are still things that can be said.
People with a heart are ready to move, so some courtiers began to propose the matter of establishing a queen in the court.
After the establishment of the People’s Republic of China, this is not only a family matter, but also a state matter.
Besides, His Majesty is in his early twenties and at the right age, it is impossible for him not to miss his wife!
Your Majesty is too young to mention it yourself. Aren’t we courtiers just thinking about what Your Majesty thinks, worrying about His Majesty’s worries, and helping Your Majesty marry a wife?
No one could have imagined that the new emperor’s reaction to this mention would be to fly into a rage: “The bones of the late emperor are not yet cold. As a son of man, due to national accidents, I can’t stay in a hut to guard the grave and eat plain clothes. I am deeply ashamed. Waiting to tell me to only care about my personal feelings and forget my old regrets, how is this behavior different from that of a wolf?”
Ministers:…
To be honest, when the new emperor gets angry, everyone is still a little scared.
Although I feel that the new emperor’s words are too exaggerated, it’s really not like this, but who dares to refute? Do you really want to tell His Majesty to be unfilial?
Things after the founding of the People’s Republic of China passed without any disturbances. There was not even a tug-of-war between the ministers and the new emperor, so everyone lay down obediently and did not dare to say more.
Come on, Your Majesty wants to keep filial piety, so do it.
Your Majesty is still young, even if he waits for three years, he will still be in the prime of his youth. After three years, it’s impossible for him to still miss his wife, right?
At that time, no matter how everyone shows their talents, it will not be too late to fight for a back seat for the family!
Nowadays, there are more important issues before Wei Guojun and ministers.
The first is about the governance of the old land of Qi State. If such a large area of land is conquered, we can’t just leave it alone, right?
Wealth and resources must be harvested, personnel and management must be in place, troops must be stationed, and refugees must be resettled!
Qi State has now been included in the territory of Wei State, so the people of Qi State are the people of Wei State, and the population is also a kind of resource, and the population is even in the link of benefit distribution!
Here, the room for struggle is actually very large. If it is replaced by a slightly weaker emperor, the distribution of benefits in this huge territory alone is enough to cause troubles among the officials and nobles.
Xiao Man did not, he sacrificed the most powerful magic weapon: Cheng Ling.
Back when Emperor Wei was alive, he rewarded Cheng Ling for meritorious deeds and enfeoffed him as Uncle Yong Yi, a second-class earl, with status, guard of honor, and salary, but no land!
When Xiao Man came to the throne, he was directly granted the title of Marquis of Wu’an because of Cheng Lingping’s meritorious service in pacifying the imperial concubine’s rebellion.
Cheng Ling’s bravery can secure the world, who can refuse to accept it?
The name of Marquis Wu’an is well deserved.
Moreover, this time the Marquis of Wu’an is no longer just a feudal title, but a real title!
Yunchuan County, the hometown of Qi State, became the fiefdom of Marquis Wu’an.
The new emperor sent Marquis Wu’an to station in Yunchuan, built a new Yunchuan Protectorate in the old place of Qi State, and appointed Marquis Wu’an as the Protectorate of Yunchuan to supervise the thirty-six states on the south bank of Shenchuan. Since then, the old place of Qi State has been stabilized.
There is only one thing, Cheng Ling is so powerful that he is in danger of overflowing. The ruling and opposition parties of Wei State will inevitably have various worries about this.
But so what?
The new emperor followed like a demon, and he had to believe in Marquis Wu’an, and all officials would suffer unspeakably. But if they saw Cheng Ling face to face, they would have to quickly make up for it.
It’s okay not to laugh, Marquis Wu An can shoot and kill the great general Murong Hong with a single chopstick. Who dares to say that his head can be harder than General Murong?
The power of one person seems to reach thousands of troops, and the heroes of the world bow their heads!
