The First Auxiliary Road from the Imperial Examination

Chapter 356 The Emperor's Edict
"Anyone who conspired with the former Qi rebels will be dealt with as treason by the direct branch of the mastermind, and their nine clans will have their surnames demoted and expelled from the customs. They will not be allowed to return to the Central Plains without merit."

The prince Jiang Huaiqian remembered this, and couldn't help but stop writing and ask: "Father, what contribution can be returned to the Central Plains?"

"Outside the pass, there are countless foreign races. There are Arong and Nuerhan nearby, and there are many uneducated clans far away. Isn't it enough for these people to show their talents?"

"What if they fight overseas and become kings on their own?"

Emperor Chengyuan smiled: "Wouldn't that be better? Brothers of Zhongyuan occupy foreign countries, as long as they still recognize the culture of the Central Plains and the people of the Central Plains, they will be independent vassal kings, the more the better."

Prince Jiang Huaiqian felt that this would be extremely harmful: "The wisdom of the Central Plains people is far from that of the barbarians. If it is true as the father thinks, I am afraid that the future generations of the Great Chu will have the worry of 'how can others snore on the couch'."

Emperor Chengyuan felt that such long-term worries were purely superfluous: "To be an emperor, one should have ambitions, not look forward and backward.

Not to mention that if it can really stir up turmoil, it will be difficult to calm down the chaos in the foreign countries within a hundred years.

Even when it really comes to the time when the descendants of the Central Plains are all around the Great Chu to establish a state, it will be nothing more than a larger scale of heroes standing side by side.

If there was still a great Chu at that time, the descendants of the Jiang family would naturally be forced to devote themselves to ZTE;
If at that time there has been another dynasty to replace it, then what are you worried about?

If there are really talented and bold people competing for the Central Plains, and once again unified, the territory of our Central Plains nation will be expanded several times, why not do it? "

Prince Jiang Huaiqian was very speechless when he heard the words, he thought it was easy for his father to say, he had been the emperor for dozens of years, so naturally it didn't matter, but he and his descendants had to face such vicissitudes, how could it be fair?
Emperor Chengyuan saw that he was silent and knew that he was not satisfied, so he couldn't help being surprised: "When a dynasty is replaced, it must be because the monarch of this dynasty is incompetent and has no successors. If you think about the future generations, don't you have to worry about how to cultivate excellent talents?" Heirs, how to establish an excellent talent selection mechanism, and how to avoid the cause of the former dynasty's subjugation?
Just like practicing martial arts, you can't choose the strength of your opponent, but you can practice hard and learn so that you can fight more with one.External factors cannot be grasped, internal factors are the key.You don't want to strengthen yourself, but worry about the outside world, isn't it putting the cart before the horse? "

Prince Jiang Huaiqian was convinced, and he was right, he couldn't even control his father's decision, let alone outside the Central Plains? !

Emperor Chengyuan saw that it was almost time, and continued the previous words: "The family with the thirteen surnames has more than a hundred girls. They know the righteousness and loyalty, and they have been involved in danger and obstacles. They have achieved success, so they are allowed to keep their surnames and stay in Beijing for use. His mother and Stay in Beijing, the imperial court will return [-]% of his ancestral property, and allow him to choose more than [-] people who know loyalty from his relatives to assist his family."

The prince was a little surprised when he heard the words: "Is the father making them the patriarchs?"

"I really want to see how these families will develop if the girls are allowed to let go of their hands and feet and take charge of the family."

"The girls who wanted to help the imperial court last night were not only from families with thirteen surnames. Can these girls be rewarded? Also, among the students of the Imperial College last night, there were many lords and girls who worked hard to stop the rebels. How can these people be rewarded?"

"Each person will be given a pair of loyalty plaques; for the copied property, each person will be rewarded with a Zhuangzi, a shop, and a thousand taels of silver, and two robes from the imperial court."

"Then... Where are the three of you, Sister Yuan?"

"Hmph!" Hearing that this son wanted to benefit his nephew, Emperor Chengyuan snorted, deliberately remained silent, and only said Sheng Yuan, "Although I was aware of Qian Qi's actions, I never doubted Yang Pangui. Sister-in-law mentioned several times unintentionally that I might really want to go dark under the lights... I never mentioned any of these to the outside world, why?"

"Father wants to protect her." Prince Jiang Huaiqian guessed it just after listening to the conversation between father and Yang Pangui.

"The little guy is very stable, so there's no need to praise her too much. If you really remember the little guy's achievements, then... after the women's imperial examination, let her have a bright future. !"

"I obey the order." Prince Jiang Huaiqian said with a smile, "But I will not open the back door for her, everything depends on her ability!"

"As for your brother Yu... the title of Duke Anguo's mansion has been determined, so don't think about it. I see that he has the courage to secure a city. I hope he grows up, father Xiao, and has the ability to comfort the people in an city. In this way, you will' Marquis Ancheng' keep it, when he grows up, I will reward him."

The prince Jiang Huaiqian quickly responded with a smile: "My son obeys the order."

Alright, the title that side concubine An's had been dreaming about for several years has been settled!
It's also the boy who strives for his own strength, otherwise, with the face of An Guogong, the emperor might tell him not to confer the title without authorization.

"As for Brother Sheng from Baoxianghou's Mansion... His father's merits have not been commended. Fortunately, such a son is given the opportunity, and the two good things become one. You make him a loyal uncle."

This also has to wait until after the prince succeeds to the throne.

The prince Jiang Huaiqian knew it well, and after saying a word of compliance again, he thought of his cousin.

"Don't your mother know Shuquan's title?" Emperor Chengyuan didn't care, and smiled softly, "However, you should understand the reason why the title should not be taken lightly. If Shuquan is granted, the Qin family will not be able to Support."

"My son obeys the imperial decree!"

"The Sheng, Zheng, and An mansions have contributed to this turmoil, and the vassal princes who returned to the capital have also given their full support. Do you have any suggestions on how to reward them?" Emperor Chengyuan said that he was tired, so he asked the prince to do it for him.

Prince Jiang Huaiqian thought this was his father's test, and thought about it for a moment: "Sheng, Zheng, and An have always been loyal, and among them, Sheng Guogong is the most important. If the father draws up three imperial edicts to praise their loyalty, then give them to Tie Inscribe their achievements on the scroll, and allow the three princes to be promoted to the Ancestral Temple, what does the emperor think?"

"can."

"As for the vassal kings returning to the capital... If they are not allowed to double the number of guards in the palace, they will be allowed to recruit themselves, and their salaries will be borne by the imperial court."

When Emperor Chengyuan heard the words, he raised his eyes to look at the prince, smiled suddenly, nodded and said yes: "You can be more generous and give them [-]% of the dry shares of the imperial sea trade."

"..." Prince Jiang Huaiqian panicked in pain, "Each province can only choose one caravan."

Seeing that he was so stingy, Emperor Chengyuan was a little speechless: "Prince remember, you are the prince!"

"As far as the father is concerned, you have given such a generous reward to your sons and daughters, and the benefits are your grandchildren and grandchildren, but the fat and water will not flow to outsiders." The prince once again felt that his father did not know how to manage a family.

Seeing that his words became more and more stingy, Emperor Chengyuan smiled angrily: "You are their uncle, you should be generous to your nephews and nieces!"

"Father, my son obeys the edict, can we not discuss this issue?" Prince Jiang Huaiqian was ready to write this edict with his eyes closed.

He opened a new page of notes: "Let's talk about how to pay for the loyalty and goodness and reward the Sixth Army!"
