Chapter 528: The Problem of the Old Minister
"Grain. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ infoβ
Fiji and Luo Quan in the government looked at each other, and a helpless smile appeared on their faces.
At this time, they realized that there are many constraints for Xiao Ming now, just as Xiao Ming said about the food problem, looking at the Great Chongqing Kingdom, this Qi King's feudal country is not a place rich in grain, and for war, it is impossible to do without food.
Sighing slightly, Fiji said to Luo Quan: "We are all too anxious, Your Highness knows the situation of the fiefdom better than us, and it should be up to Your Highness to decide when and how this battle should be fought." β
"What the Book of Fei Zhongshu says is that now only His Royal Highness can save the Great Yu Kingdom from danger, and this war can only be moved when it is well thought out." Luo Quan echoed.
Fiji continued: "It's just Your Highness, this crusade against King Zhao is secondary, and now Your Majesty's edict is here, I don't know what Your Highness means......"
"Shelving the edict for the time being." Xiao Ming said lightly, paused for a moment and said: "However, although the matter of enthronement is suspended, the two of you need to make this edict known to the officials of the feudal country, so as not to affect the officials of the feudal country by the accession of the thirteen princes." β
Fiji has served Xiao Wenxuan for so many years, and he is also a person-like figure, and he instantly understood Xiao Ming's thoughts.
Now whether Xiao Ming ascends the throne or not, the land he can control is only the state and county of the feudal country, and the officials and generals in other lands will not surrender to him, compared to Xiao Ming, the people in the royal land will be more inclined to believe that the thirteen princes are the emperors of the Great Yu Kingdom, after all, the concubines are different, and the thirteen princes are also concubines no matter how young.
And everyone in the world knows about the matter of casting names, which makes his ascension to the throne even more ridiculous, and even leads to him becoming the first to be shot.
Rather than this, Xiao Ming is better to hold the edict and not declare it, so that he can advance and retreat freely, if the general trend of the world is favorable to him, he can take the opportunity to make the edict public to the world, if it is unfavorable, he only needs to publicize it internally, so that his external war will be famous.
"Yes, Your Highness." Fiji nodded.
The matter of the edict was over, and Xiao Ming thought about how to settle the ministers from Chang'an, these former kings and former ministers fled to Qingzhou with Fiji and Luo Quan because they came for themselves.
Moreover, according to the edict, he is now the emperor of the Great Yu State, and he has the responsibility to command these ministers to restore the majestic rivers and mountains of the Great Yu State.
Coupled with the current shortage of feudal officials, he has no reason to keep these people out, if these ministers must learn some government knowledge at Bowen College, it will be more in line with his mind.
So he said to Fiji: "Fiji Zhongshu, now that there are many officials and generals who have come to Qingzhou, what do you think should be done?" β
"This ......" Fiji looked at Xiao Ming carefully.
Although the young man in front of him was his son-in-law, he knew better that he was the de facto emperor of the Great Yu Kingdom, and he was like a tiger, and this was Xiao Ming's fiefdom, so he didn't dare to talk nonsense, but said: "Everything is up to Your Highness." β
Luo Quan was upright and tactful, he coughed, looking left and right, as if he was not interested in this question.
The appearance of the two made Xiao Ming helpless for a while, compared with Pang Yukun and others, the shadow of the officials under the influence of the feudal royal power on Fiji and Luo Quan was stronger.
"That's it, you must be tired after a long journey, now you go back and rest." Xiao Ming frowned and said.
Fiji and Luo Quan nodded, and under the guidance of Qingzhou officials, the Wei family restaurant went.
After the two left, Pang Yukun, Niu Ben and other Qingzhou officials returned to the mansion.
Pang Yukun said: "Your Highness, there are a total of 8,532 people who have come to Qingzhou for refuge this time, and the lower officials have placed them in Qingzhou's private square to live temporarily. β
This time the situation is special, and Pang Yukun does not dare to make ideas at will.
Xiao Ming said: "At present, there are only 8,000 people, and it is estimated that more officials will take refuge in Qingzhou in the next time, and their clansmen will also arrive in Qingzhou." β
"Xia Guan also thinks so, so he is also worried." Pang Yukun has one head and two big.
Different from Pang Yukun, Niu Ben was very happy, he said directly: "Your Highness, there are as many generals as there are in Qingzhou this time, and now there are generals in the army, and now it is a timely rain."
"Officialdom is also short of people, but you can't blindly stuff these officials and generals into the officialdom and the army because of the lack of people, Qingzhou is different from Chang'an, it's easy for generals, at most you can train a little, but if these officials who don't understand the situation in Qingzhou are in office, I'm afraid there will be chaos." Pang Yukun saw this matter very clearly.
Xiao Ming nodded, "Pang Shoufu is right, the elite for this king is not just the number of officials, but this time the mother concubine brought the edict of his father, this king can't leave them alone, otherwise who wants to defect to this king?" β
"Edict?" Pang Yukun and Niu Ben asked at the same time, Zhan Xingchang, Lu Fei and other generals also pricked up their ears.
Xiao Ming nodded, "My father made an edict before my mother fled, so that this king could continue to unify, and now this edict is in the hands of my mother, just because my father was trapped in Bishui Pavilion, and there was no big seal on this edict." β
"So many His Highnesses are now the emperor!" Lu Feiden said loudly, dancing happily.
Pang Yukun, Niu Ben, Zhan Xingchang and others were stunned, and they all showed ecstasy, and now that Xiao Ming has inherited the unification, they are no longer the ministers of the feudal country, but the powerful ministers of the Great Yu State.
Not to be outdone, Luo Xin said, "So now it's time for us to call Your Majesty." β
"It's too early to shout." Xiao Ming waved his hand, and he said: "Now that the Great Yu Kingdom is in danger, the Great Chongqing Kingdom is not unified for a day, and this king cannot be said to be the emperor of the Great Yu Kingdom." β
Everyone became fanatical because of the edict, but Xiao Ming's words calmed them down, Pang Yukun said: "What His Royal Highness said is extremely true, now that the Great Yu Kingdom is falling apart, His Highness is now called the emperor, which will be unfavorable to Qingzhou, it is better to wait for the world to be settled before ascending the throne, and this edict does not have the emperor's seal, and the other vassal kings are afraid that they will not admit it." β
"Even if there is a fear, they will not recognize His Royal Highness as the king, these vassal kings have long been looking forward to the chaos in the world, Your Highness, judging from the end and the future, it is safer to fight the country." Niu Ben said.
Lu Fei and the generals echoed the words one after another.
Looking at the fanatical crowd, Xiao Ming said: "The rivers and mountains of this Great Yu Kingdom naturally cannot fall into the hands of people with wolf ambitions like King Zhao, but we are not strong enough to make enemies on all sides, so from now on, we should make friends and attack from afar, divide and divide, unite vertically and horizontally, and compete for the world." β
