The Heavens: Falling Ink From Douluo

Chapter 712 Celebration Banquet

Lin Chaoci and others haven't returned yet, and the imperial edict has been sent to their homes.

However, only Lin Chaoci was later promoted.

From "Chang Ping Hou" to "Ping Guo Gong".

Emperor Chongping chose the word "Changping" for the sake of peace in Chang'an. The reason why it was called "Changping" instead of "Chang'an" was actually because Chang'an was the name of a city. Emperor Chongping did not want to grant Lin Chaoci a fiefdom. Even if Lin Chaoci is very strong, once this is done, it will be difficult to deal with military achievements and military achievements in the world. Taking the land of the world as state-owned is the logistical basis for him to provide military power to the world. This thing is originally It is the content of the reform. It is impossible to make an exception for Lin Chaoci, otherwise there would be no need for the reform. The following two words "平国" mean pacification, which can also be called stability, but "An Guogong" is a bit too conservative, and it is not consistent with the reform. Compared with the word "ping", an only means stability, without pacification, and is a little less domineering, which is not enough to praise achievements.

The rest of them will be awarded as they should, and there will be no second reward.

However, despite this, it also shocked the inside and outside of this sacred capital. The expansion of territory, the conferment of Dukes, more than 40 viscounts and barons, and the unprecedented number of women were knighted, let alone the common people who had never heard of these. Well, even for the civil and military officials headed by Yang Guochang, they were so shocked by these big news that every one of them was thrown out that could cause shock to the officialdom. They didn't know how to describe it. , the response from the people can be imagined. Even with Emperor Chongping's hint, Jinyiwei manipulated public opinion, and there was still a lot of discussion.

Civil and military officials are either happy or worried.

Happy people come in all kinds.

There were die-hard fans like Lin Ruhai, Li Zan, Xu Lu, Jia She, and Wang Ziteng who firmly stood by Emperor Chongping and supported the implementation of the new law.

There are also families like Xue Baochai, Aunt Xue, and the families of various lords or generals who went on this expedition, who are just proud of their children's achievements.

Others are gamblers.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not a common gambler.

It was the gamblers among the generals - many generals had doubts about Emperor Chongping's reform and were afraid to join. Emperor Chongping would deal with them after dealing with the civil servants. They were even more afraid that not joining would cause Emperor Chongping to deal with them directly, and then I was afraid that after joining, Emperor Chongping's reform would not be successful, leaving some room for the civil servants, who would attack them to death. No one knew whether this reform would be successful. It is no exaggeration to say that this light choice can determine the fate of the whole country. The safest way to decide the life and death of a general is to bet separately, that is, not to put all your eggs in the same basket.

However, surrender also depends on capital.

You don't want to give anything, and you don't want to express anything.

It's like making separate bets with one mouth.

Do you think you are Zhuge Kongming, who is fighting with other scholars?

it's good now.

Someone from the clan stood up.

Without any effort on his part, he stood in the camp of Emperor Chongping. Although his position was a bit lower, this was still an excellent opportunity.

It gave many nobles and generals a reassurance.

Because no matter what the final result is.

None of them will have their homes confiscated and their families exterminated.

However, only a few generals have troubles like the above. Most generals have the attitude of "take it as it comes, take care of it". The main theme is that if I am useless, no one can take advantage of me. The junior has made his way into the world. , it is still such a feat of opening up new territories, not to mention that it can carry forward the family, and there is no problem in maintaining the status quo.

And, these are all unexpected surprises.

No one thought that a group of wild boys who roamed the streets all day long and had nothing to do could be able to seize the wolf. A letter of surrender was sent from the other side of the grassland. Please note that asking for surrender is different from talking about it, and it is different from running away.

Escape is just like the Huns did back then.

I don't want this place anymore.

I am leaving.

I left.

I gave this place to you.

And asking for surrender means... I admit defeat. I lead the entire nation to join the Later Han Dynasty and become the people of the Later Han Dynasty, including the grassland.

One only got territory.

One but gained more people.

As for whether to rebel, countless heroes and wise masters throughout the ages have provided a solution - intermarriage. After several generations of intermarriage, they are all one family. The only thing that needs attention is the few large tribes on the grassland. However, for them If a few officials asked them to come to Shenjing to report on their duties, beat and comfort them, there would be no problem.

Moreover, no troops were used.

No need to pay people to eat horse chews.

It is equivalent to harvesting a nation and its land for nothing.

Don't blame Emperor Chongping for thinking that the title of marquis was an insult. For such a good thing, if it were Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, he would also be able to make Lin Chaoci a duke.

Therefore.

Waiting for Lin Chaoci and his party to return.

We haven’t reached the city gate yet. It is just ten miles outside the city gate.

Seeing Emperor Chongping and his civil and military officials coming out to greet the victorious troops, Lin Chaoci did not react at all. He had chewed several hard bones for the world's consciousness, and the world's consciousness would also respond in kind. With Li, if Emperor Chongping dares to offend him, let alone the red thunder in the day, he can make the world conscious and cause a drought in the Later Han Dynasty for three years. However, if Emperor Chongping gives him face, he will not rely on force to show off anything. With a lofty look, he got off his horse and walked towards Emperor Chongping together with the young people behind him who were so grateful that they couldn't help themselves. He took the grassland Khan and others who had followed him, as well as the 800 reorganized cavalry who had been killed, towards Emperor Chongping. , which made Emperor Chongping blush.

excited.

Can understand.

After simple greetings.

Emperor Chongping also understood the thoughts of these young people.

I am eager to return home, and I definitely want to show off.

Lin Chaoci and others were not left behind.

He just told Lin Chaoci and others that there would be a celebration banquet in the palace in the evening, so don't forget to come to the banquet, so he led the civil and military officials to follow the Great Khan of the Grassland and his envoys, and walked to the palace, ready to discuss this invitation. The conditions for surrender, because the letter of surrender was too general, just said that I am willing to surrender to you, and then expressed my willingness to release all the captured slaves of the Later Han Dynasty. The specific details were not stated at all. Therefore, Emperor Chongping also had many conditions for wanting to make peace with the grassland. The people here discussed, for example: If you really surrender, we are willing to open a mutual market, but you must hand over the right to produce war horses; we are willing to treat everyone equally, and any marriage is allowed, and your beliefs are also It can be retained, but you must hand over the right to mint coins. Gold and silver can be used, but copper coins must be used as the only low-level currency on the grassland, and the Confucian classics from our side are allowed to be transmitted over.

These are details that need to be discussed later.

It is impossible to write so much in a letter asking for surrender.

It is impossible to write these important things in letters, and it is impossible to use letter paper as a means of communication. It is best to have a face-to-face meeting, as everything is confidential!

Xue Pan and Lin Chaoci came together.

The main reason is that Lin Chaoci's home has changed again.

The Duke's Palace deserves special treatment.

That is to say, present creation and present residence.

Just like Rongguo Mansion and Ningguo Mansion.

They are all big houses and take time.

The site was chosen, but the original house was really substandard. In addition, I had not seen Sister Bao for a long time, and I really missed her. Lin Chaoci followed Xue Pan, Xue Baochai, Aunt Xue and others back to the Xue family. In the small courtyard, Xiangling and Fengshi were also there.

Xue Baochai keeps his word.

Xiangling found a family.

He also unexpectedly learned that Zhen Shiyin was a member of the Zhen family. Although he was not a direct descendant of the Zhen family, he was still an old relative of the Jia family. After all, he became a relative of his own. Xue Baochai invited Xiang Ling to live in Shenjing. , Mrs. Feng took the opportunity to let Xiang Ling recognize Aunt Xue as her godmother. She was not a maid, but like a playmate, staying with Xue Baochai. Maybe it was also because of familiarity that Xiang Ling was quite willing to stay in this environment. Rather than contact an unfamiliar circle, after thinking about it, Feng was still willing to let her daughter continue to interact with her former friends. Otherwise, letting a little girl go to an unfamiliar environment to make friends again would be too much for her. I'm afraid it's also very uncomfortable.

Isn't this another kind of cruelty?

As for Lin Chaoci, a kind-hearted person.

The person who persuaded Xue Baochai to help his daughter recognize her relatives.

Feng was also very grateful.

Xue Baochai is the executor.

But if Lin Chaoci hadn't said those words, and if he didn't want Xiang Ling to recognize her relatives, Xue Baochai wouldn't have gone out of her way to help Xiang Ling find her relatives.

Therefore.

After resting for a while.

Lin Chaoci, Xue Pan and Xue Baochai boarded the carriage heading to the palace, waved goodbye, and immediately headed to the palace.

The banquet is a celebration banquet.

But while the front hall is celebrating success, the back hall is also celebrating.

The front hall is a celebration among men.

The back hall is a celebration among women.

It was Empress Song who came forward to celebrate the victory with the imperial wives of each family.

This is also a specification for opening up new territories.

The return of an ordinary army is more glorious.

The level is also the same as the state banquet.
