Chapter 530: Pacifying the Crowd
"Seventh Brother ......"
There was a sudden burst of crying in the main hall, and the voice of Princess Xiangcheng suddenly detonated the hearts of these princes and princesses who were frightened these days. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Xiangcheng cried all the way to Xiao Ming, grabbed his arm and didn't let go.
The other princes and princesses also came to his side, looking like they had been bullied and came to his brother to find a way to get back.
"It's okay, when you get to Qingzhou, Seventh Brother won't let you be bullied." Xiao Ming comforted that these princes and princesses who fled to Qingzhou were usually not very valued in the palace.
Like Concubine Zhen, the mothers of these princes and princesses have no background, and those who have backgrounds have been taken away.
Concubine Zhen also stood up at this time, it seemed that she had been crying on the way back, and then she said to Xiao Ming: "Ming'er, now that the Great Yu Kingdom is in this calamity, now your younger brothers and sisters can only count on you to take care of them, although they are half-siblings with you, but after all, they have royal blood in their bones, as the so-called everyone collects firewood and the flame is high, you always need some trustworthy people to assist you alone." ”
Xiao Ming nodded, Concubine Zhen said this to him, it is better to say it to these princes and princesses, the purpose is to make them feel at ease.
"Yes, mother, the sons will follow their father's wishes to take care of their younger brothers and sisters." Xiao Ming said.
Hearing this, these princes and princesses and concubines showed a look of relief, and the only thing that all the people who came to Qingzhou at this moment was worried about their future fate.
With Xiao Ming's assurance, they were also a little more steady.
Concubine Zhen showed a smile at this time, and then she took out an edict with a golden shell from her sleeve and said to Xiao Ming: "Ming'er, this is the edict left to you by your father, you can take it." ”
After receiving the edict, Xiao Ming opened it and swept his eyes, it was indeed a will that made him the crown prince, and he sighed lightly and stuffed the edict into his sleeve.
This Xiao Wenxuan was sober after all before he died, if he didn't have this edict, he might not be able to make so many old ministers convince him, and it is also justifiable for him to ascend the throne in the future.
Accepting the edict, he said: "Mother, the matter of King Zhao's rebellion will be handed over to Erchen to deal with, from now on you can live in Qingzhou in peace, and Erchen will ask the government to prepare a house for the mother and concubines." ”
"That's hard work for you." Concubine Zhen said that because of Xiao Wenxuan's death, she was still a little lacking.
Xiao Ming sighed, he knew that it was useless to comfort Concubine Zhen now.
As if realizing something, Concubine Zhen continued: "Ming'er, if there is such a big mess today, you will inevitably be very busy next, or government affairs are important, you don't have to worry about your mother, let's deal with government affairs, Yue'er is accompanying me here, you can leave these chores to her." ”
In Concubine Zhen's opinion, Fei Yue'er is already a real queen, and this harem matter is naturally handled by Fei Yue'er.
Xiao Ming understood, and he said to Fei Yue'er: "Princess, I'll leave it to you here." ”
Fei Yue'er nodded, "Yes, Your Highness." ”
After appeasing the princes and princesses for a while, Xiao Ming left the main hall with the edict, as Concubine Zhen said, he can't waste time on these trivial matters now, after all, if Qingzhou can't keep it, he can only take everyone to jump into the sea together.
Outside the door, Xiao Ming instructed Luluo and Aster to assist Fei Yue'er in handling these harem chores, and he took the edict to the government and handed it over to Pang Yukun.
"That's right, this is the emperor's handwriting."
When Xiao Ming said about the edict, he had always been worried in his heart, but now that he saw the edict, a stone in his heart fell to the ground.
"For the time being, the matter of this edict can only be passed on among the officials of the feudal state, and there is no need for others to know." Xiao Ming said to Pang Yukun.
"Yes, Your Highness." After confirming the matter of this edict, Pang Yukun's face turned red with excitement.
After a pause, he said to Xiao Ming: "When His Highness returned to the mansion, he must have thought of how to place these officials. ”
"That's right, when I returned to the palace, the king thought of a way, in two days the king will gather these officials, and when the time comes, he will show them the edict, and then the king will propose to let them go to the Bowen College to study, if they succeed in their studies and pass the exam, they will stay in the officialdom, if they can't pass, they can only take off their official robes, how about it?"
Pang Yukun said: "This is a good way, and it can also accumulate officials, so that every time His Highness captures a place, he can quickly establish a government office in the local area and bring this place under the control of His Highness." ”
"Well, that's exactly what the king thinks." Xiao Ming said.
In fact, for him, these officials were trained to prepare for colonization, because he found that it would not work to complete the industrial revolution without colonizing the accumulation of wealth abroad.
Both resources and manpower will become a constraint on the industrial revolution.
And what worries him the most is the current situation in Dayu, if a large-scale war occurs, the population will inevitably decrease.
Thinking of this, he said to Pang Yukun: "Has Liang Dahai come back?" ”
"No, I guess it'll take two days." Pang Yukun said that Liang Dahai has been trading slaves at sea these days, some of these slaves are from Goryeo, some are from the Wa Kingdom, and some are slaves from the Dayu Kingdom.
Xiao Ming said: "After he comes back, you let him come to see this king, there is a big business that he needs to do." ”
Pang Yukun was stunned for a moment, he understood that what Liang Dahai and Xiao Ming were talking about could only be human trafficking.
Just as he thought, Xiao Ming was preparing to let Liang Dahai sell people from Dayu to Qingzhou, so he watched these people die in the war, so it was better to mobilize merchants to sell people to Qingzhou frantically at this time, and Ryukyu also needed a large number of people to develop.
In times of war, human life is as cheap as a dog, and his decisions are cruel, but they are also the most merciful.
……
Chang'an City, now King Zhao has completely controlled here.
Chengqing Palace, once the iron-blooded throne of the emperor of the Great Yu Kingdom, is sitting on the throne of King Zhao, and under His Royal Highness is the official of Chang'an City.
At this time, these civil ministers and military generals all lowered their heads and trembled in the eyes of King Zhao.
Zhao Yuanliang stood in front of the hundred officials, and he said to King Zhao on the throne: "Father, now that Chang'an City has been settled, is there going to be an enthronement ceremony for the thirteen princes and the funeral of the first emperor?" ”
King Zhao touched his chin, looking at this group of officials, he was a little unhappy, Fiji, Luo Quan, Du Yu and other important ministers were all gone, and the rest were some inconsequential wall grass.
If it weren't for the fact that there was some use in keeping these people, he would have wanted to kill them all, so he said, "What do you think? ”
An official of the Ministry of Rites immediately said flatteringly: "Your Highness, the country cannot be without a king for a day, the minister thinks that the state funeral of the former emperor can be simplified, but the enthronement ceremony of the thirteen princes must be grand." ”
