Daxia Lingxian

Chapter 314 The Emperor's Generosity

As soon as Cai Ji left the class, everyone immediately looked sideways.

There are hundreds of courtiers in the court hall, with brilliant crowns and belts, and there are as many as nine of them in this hall alone if they are real people's important ministers!
There are dozens of Venerables.

At a glance, the strong are like clouds, not like the atmosphere of the world.

However, so many strong men could not cover Cai Ji's light.

As for Cai Langzhong, he was first recommended by Uncle Wenchang Zhang Tao, and then served as a patrol officer in Yizhou.Now it is even more appreciated by the emperor.

In Fengye Village, Tuo County, where he was born, auspicious clouds descended from the sky. Everyone said that this was a good omen for a saint to descend from the sky. Cai Ji should be regarded as a good minister through the ages and a famous minister who saves times.

It's true that Cai Ji's luck has arrived, and nothing can stop him.

In order to boost people's morale, the imperial court issued an edict proclaiming that "Qingyun comes to the world and sages enter the court."Now, Cai Ji's aura was enhanced. Although he was promoted quickly, he was not regarded as a lucky minister.

Cai Xuanshu was in the heart of the emperor, and everyone knew that it would be a matter of time for him to announce his majesty, and with the fact that he was in charge of the Ministry of Officials' examination, a group of forces quickly gathered around him.

There is even a nursery rhyme in Chang'an, which says: "The name comes from the family name, and the leaf heart of vegetables is clear; the Xuanshu comes from Luoshui, and the world will be peaceful when it is saved."

Cai Langzhong's name.Others are unknown, but he happens to be famous.Cai also has dishes.Clean the heart of the vegetable leaves and say that he is loyal and upright.

Xuanshu came out of Luoshui, and he proclaimed Xuanshu, which can also be matched.Saving time and peace in the world indicates that he is a great sage who saves time.

Great sage in time of rescue.

This is no longer as simple as a prime minister, but a sage like Zhuge Kongming.

Now, the entire Daxia officialdom knows about this rising doctor Cai.It is said that after the new year, he will be promoted to the Minister of the Ministry of War.

The northern line was tight, and the Jinren's offensive was like fire.The emperor intentionally asked Cai Ji to inspect the border towns and purge the generals.

Sure enough, when the Son of Heaven heard Cai Ji's words, he asked in a gentle tone, "I don't want Cai Qing to still have an affair with Luo Ning. From Cai Qing's point of view, who is the Luo family?"

Cai Ji straightened his official hat, raised his jade hut high and said:
"Your Majesty, I am telling you that Luo Zhiyuan was not a scholar by birth, but he also had the ambition to report to the country. Later, he was deprived of the title of scholar, and this was the end of his path to noble status."

"But he really had some chance. He was favored by strangers and became a monk. After he became a monk, he actually went on stage to act. He didn't hesitate to pretend to be an actor and actor, and determined to tour the world."

"From what I can see, Luo Ning has the heart to help the world and serve the country."

The reason why Cai Ji took the initiative to admit his relationship with Luo Ning was because he wanted to take credit for Luo Ning's achievements, and because...

Even if he didn't say it himself, Xiu Yiwei would still say his relationship with Luo Ning, so it's better to say it himself.

To say that the most shocking thing was precisely him, Luo Ning's acquaintance with the chief executive.

He never dreamed that Luo Ning would do such a big thing in just three years.If the news was not accurate, he couldn't believe it.

Surprised, he couldn't help feeling sorry for his younger sister Cai Quaner's choice.If I had known that Luo Ning could soar into the sky, I couldn't have been the seventh concubine for Wen Changbo.

Cai Ji couldn't help but sigh secretly.

Suddenly, the beaded curtain on the treasure hall moved, and a king wearing a royal uniform stepped out. The condescending Zhuoran stood there, looking down at the hall full of ministers and saying:

"Cai Qing's words, can you hear the truth clearly?"

He was clearly standing above the main hall, close in front of his eyes, but he gave people a sense of loftiness as insignificant as mountains and rivers.

This king, with a dragon-like appearance and a phoenix-like appearance, full of royal aura and supreme will, is the current Emperor Chongzhen.

When the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty saw this figure, they all lowered their heads and restrained their eyes, not daring to look directly at him.

This emperor is moody, even the first-rank and second-rank old men with high positions and powers often feel a little nervous when facing the emperor.

The son of the Great Xia Dynasty has a strong royal spirit.Regardless of the level of cultivation before ascending the throne, once he ascends the throne, he will be a true king.

Therefore, this high-ranking Lord Chongzhen is not only the son of Daxia, but also the only real king in Daxia, an extremely powerful man.

All the ministers in the hall knew what the emperor said.

"Report to Your Majesty." A real person with a clear temperament came out, it was Xia Zhi, the order of the Embroidered Clothes Mansion, "The Embroidered Clothes Guard, Luo Ning should have the heart to return to Xia."

"After he occupied the three counties of Tubo, some Xianbei people recommended him as the Great Chanyu of Xianbei, and he refused to accept his resignation."

"The Tubo descendants elected him as the Prime Minister of the Eastern Mansion, King Gesang, and he insisted on not accepting it."

"The people in Fanxia elected him as the King of Righteousness, but he still insisted on not accepting it."

"In the end, he just called himself General Anxi, and he seemed to be quite self-aware, and he didn't get carried away."

"Your Majesty, since this person calls himself General Anxi, who Anxi is he? In my opinion, it must be Anxi for the court and Anxi for His Majesty."

"I think that although he is the son of the traitor Luo An, he can be used by the court."

A minister came out and said: "This son cannot be trusted! I heard that he was originally a retainer of the Tubo princess, and he had a close relationship with Dorgon. His father killed the King of Shu and defected to the Jin Kingdom. Can't he?"

"If the imperial court uses him, then since he rebels against Tubo today, who can guarantee that he will not rebel against Daxia in the future?"

"It can be seen from this that Luo's father and son are all unfaithful and unrighteous people, and you must not have any expectations for this son."

The emperor didn't express his opinion, but looked at Zhou Tiren, the chief minister of the cabinet.

"What does Mr. Zhou mean?"

Zhou Tiren is an old husband with perfect Confucianism and Taoism.There are six departments in Daxia, headed by the Department of Rites.Zhou Tiren is the Minister of Rites, a young master, and a bachelor of Dongge University.

He cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, this is a trivial matter. The changes in the Western Domain and the actions of the Luo family are not worthy of His Majesty's inquiry. Why do you need to discuss it?"

Another group of old gentlemen also nodded when they heard this.

As the top Confucian and Taoist ministers, high-ranking figures in charge of the government, they naturally would not take the matter of Xi Fan seriously.

But even if it doesn't matter, you can't ignore it.

After all, the enemy country Tubo is involved.

Mr. Zhou thought for a moment, then continued:
"It doesn't matter whether the Luo family boy has the heart to return to Xia. It doesn't matter whether he is loyal to the court or not."

"Because the imperial court should not have any expectations for such people, it can only guide them and make use of them."

"Since he occupies Xifan, the imperial court grants him an official position, so that he can regain the lost land in name, expand the territory, and add chaos to Tubo. As for what he will be in the future, that will be a matter of the future."

"It's nothing more than a chess piece. Use it if it's available, and discard it if it's not. The old minister thought that if he was willing to submit to the imperial court, he would be given a title or a high-ranking official."

"If the imperial court doesn't recruit him, I'm afraid he will surrender to Nanzhao in the south, Jurchen in the north, or Tubo again."

It can be said to be very spicy.

It was obvious that he didn't trust people like Luo Ning.But you don’t trust it so much, yet you still use it!Never give up Luoning as a chess piece just because of distrust.

Judging from his tone, the so-called rewarding officials and titles is also an expedient move.The purpose is to prevent Luo Ning from surrendering to the enemy.

The emperor said: "If the imperial court uses him, it will be the achievement of recovering lost land and opening up territories. Cai Qing said that this person has the heart to serve the country, Xia Qing said that this person has the heart to return to Xia, and Mr. Zhou also said that he can be used, then it will be done." Use it."

"Speaking of which, the current state affairs are difficult, and this is the only thing that can be regarded as a happy event."

"The decree is to make Luoning the Marquis of Jingxi, confer the title of General Fuyuan, allow the establishment of the government and build teeth, add the crown prince Shaobao, envoy Chijie, and supervise the military forces of Tubo."

Governor of the Tubo military forces!
When the officials heard this sentence, they couldn't help showing playful smiles.

The meaning of His Majesty's words is that he regards Tubo as his own territory and asks Luo Ning to "recover the lost ground".

It's not too big a deal to watch the fun.He gave Luoning the official position of General Fuyuan and encouraged him to torment Tibet for the imperial court.

Isn’t Tubo an ally of the Jin Kingdom?Okay, now I "reuse" Luo Ning to bleed Tubo instead of me.

The emperor seems to be very courteous, but his mind is also ruthless.

When Cai Ji heard this, he couldn't help but feel sour in his heart.

Zhiyuan is now a marquis.

General Fuyuan, who founded the government and established teeth, the prince Shaobao, the envoy Chijie, and the military governor of Tubo!

Many people work hard all their lives to win these titles, but they still can't win any of them.

I have worked hard for three years, my luck has improved, and I have gone straight to Qingyun, and I am only at the fourth rank now.But Luo Zhiyuan, unexpectedly became a marquis and a general at once!

Although Confucian and Taoist monks don't pay much attention to generals, Cai Ji still tastes the taste of jealousy, and he feels very uncomfortable.

What made him even more depressed was that the person who made him jealous was actually Luo Zhiyuan.

Ugh…

Another elder, Liu Guoguan, came out and played:

"Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that this edict should not be announced for the time being. Although Luo Ning's rebellion against Tubo is a righteous act, how can he know that he will obey the edict?"

"If he doesn't obey the edict, wouldn't he be doing harm to His Majesty?"

"It's better to send an envoy to contact him first, listen to his words, and observe his actions. If he is willing to obey the imperial edict, it will not be too late to award him an official title."

The emperor nodded and said, "Okay. Cai Qing, since you have an old relationship with Luo Ning, I will appoint you as the imperial envoy to go to Xifan to announce the decree and tell the people of Xifan that I and the court will still remember them."

Cai Ji had no choice but to accept the order and said: "My minister obeys the order!"

According to the court system, as long as he leaves Chang'an to go out to preach the decree, he can no longer be the doctor of the Qingli Department of the Ministry of Officials.

This vacancy is bound to fail.

The emperor favored Cai Ji very much, and wanted to praise him again, saying:

"If Luo Ning follows the imperial edict, Cai Qing will also have to work hard. After returning to the court, I will have my own appointment."

Cai Ji secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank you, Your Majesty Long En!"

The emperor's tone was warmer, "If Luo Zhiyuan is willing to hand over the three counties, he can serve in the court, and I will use it."

The most ideal thing is, of course, for Luo Ning to take the initiative to hand over the three counties and take up his post in Beijing.But Chongzhen also knew that this possibility was very small.

Xia Zhi came out again and said: "Your Majesty, there is one more thing. The Tubo royal court has appointed Zanpu's Concubine Xingchen as the Prime Minister of the East Mansion and the Great General of Rebellion, and will soon confront Luo Ning."

"With Luoning's military strength, it may not be possible to protect the three counties. Should the Xiuyi Guards help?"

Chongzhen said: "If Luo Ning is willing to obey the edict, you should naturally help."

Many people, including the emperor, were worried that Luo Ning would not accept the call and would instead seek refuge with the Kingdom of Jin.

So Chongzhen added a sentence, "If he intends to take refuge in Jurchen, the Xiuyiwei will try to kill him!"

Luo Ning defected to the Kingdom of Jin, which was what he least wanted to see.

Such a generous conferment of officials and titles, in addition to realizing the merits of "recovering lost land and opening up territories", has something to say in the Taimiao, and it is also to prevent Luo Ning from falling to the Kingdom of Jin.

……

On May 28, Luo Ning returned to Longcuo City.

From sending out troops on the fifth day of May to returning to Longcuo City on May 28th, it took only more than 20 days.

However, in these 20 days, Luoning not only occupied the three counties of Xifan, Luozhou, and Kangzhou, but also abolished the serfdom in Tubo, confiscated the resources of the lords and temple owners of the three counties, and transferred most of their manor land to assigned to various serfs.

I don't know how many stubborn Tubo nobles and lamas were suppressed by iron and blood, and all the families and temples were killed.

The rest faced the butcher's knife of the Long Cuo army and had to surrender.

But 3000 million serfs regarded him as their reborn parent!
With the vigorous and drastic implementation of the serf's actions, Luo Ning has gained hundreds of thousands of wishes during these days!
In addition to the power of vows harvested in the Nanzhao Shenggui Temple, his power of vows has exceeded the 60 mark!
The Long Cuo army suppressed a large number of monks and lords and seized various resources worth more than 1 million gold.

There were 4 or [-] Tubo soldiers who were incorporated.

Coupled with the support of the Green Forest Rebel Army such as Guo Jie, after re-screening and reorganization, Luo Ning's troops reached [-]!

This time it's not a claim, but a real army of [-], and it's well-equipped.

The territory spanning thousands of miles across the three counties was all under Luo Ning's control.

In less than a month, the Luo family's power has risen strongly, attracting everyone's attention!

Luo Ning obtained a large amount of resources, and simply ordered that the people of the three counties not be paid for five years!

Within five years, no taxes will be paid!

At the same time, the newly established General's Mansion also sent monks trained in Longcuo City to act as local officials in various places, compile household registration books, and measure land.

They also sent troops and horses to kill bandits and bandits in various places and maintain peace and order.Three village elders were established to mediate disputes and arbitrate civil affairs.

Choose a ghostly place to set up a ghost town, allow the ghost clan to live, recognize the ghost clan's identity, and set up a ghost chief to rule.

Set up a monster mountain, allow the monster clan to live, recognize the status of the monster clan, and set up a chief to rule.

He also ordered the opening of three counties' Taoist colleges to break down class barriers, screen qualified seedlings free of charge, and select them to enter the Taoist colleges to learn various cultivation methods.

In just half a month, the weather in the three counties has changed drastically!
Luo Ning acted both hard and soft, quickly cut through the mess, and soon stabilized the situation in the three counties, and firmly controlled the three counties.

A series of dazzling operations is amazing.

……

In the main hall of the City Lord's Mansion, Luo Ning was holding his first meeting after returning to the city.

Gu Yunxiao, Xia Chanming and others were stationed in Luozhou and Kangzhou.Many people have also been sent out to serve as county guards, county magistrates, and patrol inspectors. In fact, not many people attended the meeting in the city lord's mansion.

But there are a few new faces.

For example, there is a Tibetan fox face.

Marshal Fruit Festival.

Guojie is very clever and clever.He saw that Luo Ning was powerful and he couldn't resist, so he took the initiative to seek refuge.

Luo Ning likes this kind of sensible people.Of course, we must reciprocate, and immediately appoint Guojie as the envoy of the capital, the first-class assistant in the general's mansion.

After all, Guojie brought capital into the group, and it was a party with its own system before.So Luo Ning generously rewarded him, not only appointing important positions, but also letting him continue to lead troops, and giving him a lot of resources.

This is also a manifestation of Luo Ning's confidence.

"Great General." Guo Jie looked at Luo Ning, who was becoming more and more distinguished, and said, "The royal court sent Princess Xingchen to march eastward. It is said that there are 20 troops, but judging by the subordinates, there must be none."

"The royal court can no longer send many soldiers and horses. The general is the resurrection of King Gesar, and he will definitely destroy the official army."

Luo Ning obviously only called himself General Anxi, but Guo Jie just called Luo Ning the "Great General".

And when he said these words, his face was full of flattery.

Although the "Great General" is easy-going and treats him very well, but he is the lord of the three counties after all, how can he be careless?

Luo Ning's expression was a little dignified.

According to the information, that Concubine Xingchen is a very powerful person!

The big concubine is the queen of Tubo.And this Concubine Xingchen once held power together with Zanpu.

She is from Xia, and her identity is very mysterious.Although she was later deposed as queen, no one dared to despise her.

"It's better to have 20." Luo Li smiled, "The more enemies there are, the more prisoners I can capture, and the faster my monsters can be upgraded."

In this battle of attacking the three counties, her monsters had a lot of fun.

Almost all monsters have been promoted by more than one level.

Her fighting strength of hundreds of monsters now exceeds [-] elite soldiers!
At this moment, a white light suddenly flashed through, and Luo Ning's soul card suddenly trembled.

Luo Ning took out the Soul Mind Card, and with a sweep of his consciousness, he showed a smile.

"News from Chang'an." Luo Ning took a puff of tobacco, "The Great Xia court has decided to recruit us."

"The emperor has sent Cai Ji as the imperial envoy to announce the appointment of an official."

Everyone's eyes lit up when they heard the words.

Luo Li even smiled and said: "Brother, is the emperor stingy? What kind of official title do you want to give me?"

Luo Ning exhaled a puff of smoke with a playful look, "Marquis Jingxi, General Fuyuan, Xu Kaifu Jianya, Envoy Jie, Prince Shaobao!"

What?Everyone couldn't help being a little surprised.

The emperor is really generous.

But I heard Luo Ning continue to say: "The most interesting thing is the last title, the military commander of Tubo!"

PS: Guess, will Brother Ning obey the imperial edict?I can only update so much today, happy Chinese Valentine's Day everyone!
