I am a soldier in the border army

Chapter 442: The Six Seals of the Emperor! The Future of Dayong!

Han Shao just wanted to block the way for others.

Give up their thoughts!
Divide the land and enfeoff?

What a joke!
How could this be laying a mine for Dayong's future? This was clearly laying a mine for himself!

Han Shao was really stupid to be deceived by the so-called national destiny of Yan State.

After all, even without the explicit recognition and confirmation of the Dayong court.

The counties and prefectures in Youbei, including Zhenliao City, are also under the influence of Han.

To the north, there are thousands of miles of grassland. As long as the weapons in his hands are still sharp, can he really turn the world upside down?
Is Hu Ruoxie the Qiming Khan who has just ascended the throne?

Or are they the nobles of the royal court?

Oh, even if they had three hundred courages, he wouldn’t dare to stab!
But when it comes to Hu Ruo Xie, Han Shao thought about it and said.

"Oh, by the way, Your Majesty, there was something I did not report to Your Majesty, I just acted on my own accord. Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"

For Emperor Taikang, who was deeply moved by Han Shao's loyalty, as long as Han Shao did not raise the flag of rebellion and try to seize the position under him.

What is there to forgive or not forgive?

"Looking at your ability, you won't make any big mistakes. Can I really blame you for some minor mistakes?"

Emperor Taikang pretended to be angry and spoke in a complaining tone.

"Fuck away!"

Han Shao took advantage of the situation and said.

"When I conquered the grasslands in the north, in order to stabilize the situation in the Wuhuan royal court, I had no choice but to directly let the Wuhuan Zuoxian King be the new Khan."

Only the tools and reputation are under the control of the king, and cannot be delegated to others.

Conferring a title of Khan on a certain territory could be a big or small matter.

To put it in a broader sense, he harbors rebellious intentions.

To put it simply, of course there's nothing wrong.

Sure enough, Emperor Taikang didn't care at all after hearing this. He just frowned slightly.

"Then Wuhuan Zuoxian Wang...if I remember correctly, he is Shibi's brother. Can he be trusted?"

Han Shao nodded first, then shook his head.

After Emperor Taikang looked puzzled, he said with a stern face.

"The people of the grassland have not been influenced by the king for a long time. For us in Dayong, it is not a matter of belief or disbelief..."

"It all depends on the sword in your hand!"

After saying that, he took the opportunity to explain to Emperor Taikang why he wanted to keep the Wuhuan tribe.

Hearing Tai Kangdi nodding repeatedly, he couldn't help but look surprised.

After a long while, Emperor Taikang said with emotion.

"Shaoqing's advice to the country is far-reaching."

"When you are on horseback, you can be a general. When you are off horseback, you can be a prime minister!"

Whether it is what he said earlier, 'dividing the land and enfeoffing it, will cause far-reaching harm', or his understanding and planning of the grassland, it can be seen that this boy is not a pure warrior.

It is no exaggeration to say that he has strategies in his mind and beautiful mountains and rivers in his heart.

If Emperor Taikang had not already convinced himself of such a person's unwavering loyalty, he would probably have been wary of him.

But at this moment, Emperor Taikang just sighed with a sad tone.

"What a pity, you and Zhao'er are ultimately lacking in marriage."

"Otherwise you would be my good son-in-law, I...ah!"

Not a pity! Not a pity!
Aren’t Ji Yan and I already married?

In that carriage, swaying and rocking—

Han Shao murmured in his heart, but ultimately did not dare to tell the truth to Emperor Taikang.

I could only say it quickly.

"Why did your Majesty say this?"

"Your Majesty is the father of the king and the subject. Even if we are not related as father-in-law and son-in-law, we still have the obligation of king and subject!"

"It is my honor to die in the service of Your Majesty!"

All living beings in this world are like monkeys on the tree.

Looking up, all you see are monkey butts.

Looking down, there are monkey heads everywhere.

Today, he flattered Emperor Taikang more than Li Jing and those dumb-talking bastards did in a whole year!

Otherwise, how can I be their prince... Oh, no! From now on, I will be the prince!
"Too!"

Although he felt that the relationship would not be perfect without the connection between father-in-law and son-in-law, Emperor Taikang could only nod in agreement as a self-consolation.

Speaking of which, ever since the day when he learned of the imperial decree granting the marriage and Ji Yan left in anger, it has been some time since he last went to the palace to see his father, the emperor.

He stays at home all day, he must be very sad.

Emperor Taikang felt a little guilty.

Then, a thought suddenly occurred to him: "Since this guy already has a wife, can't he have another wife?"

But this thought was quickly suppressed by him.

Missed!

How could the celestial maiden of the Ji clan be on an equal footing with others and share the same husband?
Isn't this laughable?
Thinking of this, Emperor Taikang's originally high spirits became somewhat dull.

After calming down a little, Emperor Taikang looked at Han Shaodao.

"You are telling me this to ask me to issue an imperial decree?"

Han Shao nodded and said seriously after hearing this.

"Your Majesty, Holy Might!"

"The barbarians of the grassland have been living outside the civilized world for a long time. If we, the Great King of Yong, do not educate them, the thousands of miles of territory we have expanded today will be lost tomorrow!"

"So I ask your Majesty to issue an edict to confer the title!"

At this moment, Emperor Taikang truly believed that Han Shao did not want to take this opportunity to establish a state.

Emperor Taikang was deeply moved by such loyalty.

"Well, I'll do as you ask."

"I agree."

It's nothing more than adding an imperial edict.

It just so happened that Han Shao's imperial edict also needed to be redrafted, so Emperor Taikang simply summoned Li Jin to dictate it on the spot.

After Li Jin wrote furiously for a while, the imperial dragon energy surged in Emperor Taikang's body, and he opened his hand and a jade seal appeared.

The emperor has six seals, each of which is used differently.

Compared with the [Emperor's Seal] previously used to seal the country, the aura of this [Emperor's Seal] is obviously much weaker.

When Emperor Taikang was about to press the imperial seal, he paused and joked to Han Shao.

"Once I use this seal, everything will be irreversible."

"How about... I give you another chance to regret it?"

Seeing this, Han Shao deliberately pretended to be in pain and ashamed.

"Your Majesty, if you tease me again, I will truly regret it!"

Emperor Taikang laughed, and finally said nothing more. He pressed the imperial seal in his hand heavily on the imperial edict.

As the dragon energy was boiling and surging, the newly-issued imperial edict appeared in front of Han Shao, shining brightly.

After completing this step, Emperor Taikang refused Li Jin's request to hand it over to Han Shao personally.

"My Lord Yan, please accept my order."

"Your Highness! I respectfully accept the Imperial Edict!"

Han Shao took the imperial edict with both hands raised.

In an instant, a shockingly thick red imperial dragon energy roared out from it, and then instantly sank into Han Shao's body.

The next moment, as Han Shao's aura continued to rise, the words in the imperial edict, "Announce to the world, let everyone know," shook the human spirit.

All the great practitioners in the world who depended on humanity for their existence knew about these two seemingly identical imperial edicts almost instantly.

At this moment, everyone was shocked by the huge difference.

After realizing that the huge difference between before and after was due to Han Shao's active refusal, they all fell into silence.

I don’t know how much time passed before someone began to sigh and lament.

"Strong winds reveal strong grass, and turbulent times reveal loyal ministers. Truth does not deceive!"

Even the temptation to establish a state could be rejected.

If people like this are not considered sincere and loyal, then who in this world has the nerve to call themselves so?
While some people secretly feel ashamed of themselves, others are so angry that they jump up and down and curse.

"Idiot! Idiot!"

"You can just give up the feudal states, the ancestral temples and the country just like that! How can there be such a stupid and foolish person in this world?"

"Loyalty? Loyalty your mother!"

"The Ji family is in such a state of decline. This is the perfect opportunity for a real man to rise to power! Do you fucking understand?"

"Idiot! Idiot!"

It would be fine if he gave up this God-given opportunity!
And because of this, everyone's way was blocked!

Damn it! Damn him!
At this moment, all the ambitious people were furious.

They just saw a glimmer of hope in Han Shao to shake up the Ji family's empire, but they never expected that it would be blocked before they could be happy.

How could they not hate Han Shao?
And blocking someone's way is like killing their parents, this hatred is irreconcilable. Some people are so angry that they immediately cross thousands of miles to Youbei to "seek revenge".

But their subsequent return to reason finally made them stop.

Not to mention that Emperor Taikang is in Guanjun City at this moment, just the actions of that guy named Han today, although seemingly mentally deranged and stupid, have also created an indestructible golden body for himself.

From now on, who would dare to attack him without a suitable excuse?
Aren't you afraid of being accused of having ulterior motives?

What is this called?
This is called firmly occupying the moral high ground!
At this moment, standing on this commanding height, Han Shao, who had already become a model of loyalty and righteousness, waited until his breath gradually calmed down, then he put away the imperial edict and sighed.

"In fact, I still like the title of champion that Your Majesty bestowed upon me earlier."

After all, looking at the history of previous lives, there were countless people who had the title of Duke of Yan, but how many were Marquis of Guanjun?

In front was Huo Qubing who sealed the Wolf's Lair, and in the back was Dou Xian who engraved the stone tablet at Yanran.

Jia Fu, who is sandwiched in the middle, seems to be unknown, but he is also one of the twenty-eight generals of Guangwu Yuntai.

It’s a pity that Emperor Taikang didn’t know Han Shao’s obsession, so he just smiled.

"Like? Then when you have children in the future, I will allow one of your sons to inherit this title."

The titles above Chehou are hereditary.

However, anyone who can obtain this title has one characteristic, that is, he lives a long life.

This has also led to some old guys not knowing how many generations of great-grandchildren have died, but they are still firmly occupying that position.

Emperor Taikang's words at this moment undoubtedly gave Han Shao's descendants a great favor.

Seeing that Han Shao seemed to refuse, Emperor Taikang waved his hand and said.

"I owe you this."

A vast fiefdom covering thousands of miles in exchange for a mere marquis of ten thousand households, the balance is simply not equal.

Therefore, it is normal for Emperor Taikang to feel that he owes Han Shao something and try hard to make up for it.

Han Shao said he didn't dare, but under Emperor Taikang's insistence, he accepted it with an embarrassed look on his face.

In this regard, Emperor Taikang couldn't help but sigh again.

"Others try their best to get benefits from me, but you do the opposite. I have to talk a lot before you agree."

"You...what can I say to you?"

Doesn't this show that Han is loyal enough?

Han Shao looked ashamed.

"Your Majesty has given me more than enough."

Is it too much?

In fact, everyone has a bit of a mean streak.

Even the emperor of a country is not immune to this.

The more Han Shao did this, the more Emperor Taikang felt that he had given too little.

After thinking about it again, he simply said it again.

"By the way, I just said during the banquet that as long as your concubines behave properly, I will grant them a few imperial decrees."

"You have no joke!"

"Li Jin drafts an edict for me again!"

As an old servant of the royal family who had accompanied Emperor Taikang for countless years, Li Jin had never seen Emperor Taikang be so generous to anyone.

Not to mention those foreign ministers whom he regarded as traitors, even with the nine princes, Emperor Taikang had never shown such closeness.

But Emperor Taikang was in such a high mood, so how could he dare to say anything more?
He immediately drafted the decree according to Emperor Taikang's dictation.

There were four new decrees, corresponding to the four concubines in Han Shao's family, all of whom were given the title of beauties.

It can be said that everyone is treated equally.

Li Jin carefully put away the imperial edict and made a record of it.

Because women who have been conferred titles by imperial decree must be included in the list compiled by the Zongzheng Temple and also receive court salaries.

Just like this beauty, her annual salary is two thousand stones, which is equivalent to that of a county governor.

During every festival, there are additional rewards to show favor.

After doing this, Li Jin went to the inner garden to announce the decree.

Once again, Emperor Taikang was left alone with his minister. He finally stood up from his seat in the hall and walked in front of Han Shao.

"Everything is done, I should go now."

Although he said this, Emperor Taikang looked as if he was still unsatisfied.

no way.

Mr. Han speaks well and is so loyal.

It really suits his taste.

"If you can always stay by my side, I will be happy."

Hearing this, Han Shao's heart sank, and he thought, "Oh no! Did he use too much force?"

"Your Majesty, minister..."

While he was pondering over the wording, Emperor Taikang had already smiled and waved his hand.

"Okay, I know you don't want to go, so don't try to make up some nonsense to fool me."

"Just stay in Youzhou and relax. If I have time, I may come and chat with you."

Han Shao said hurriedly.

"If Your Majesty is interested, I will be honored to welcome you!"

Emperor Taikang laughed.

"Today's dinner was great. Next time I come, I'll do the same."

"Don't be stingy!"

When it comes to dietary variety, this world cannot rival the accumulation of just a few thousand years by our neighbors.

The kitchen staff of this mansion has been trained by Han Shao and is unique in the world of Dayong.

Han Shao said.

"How can I be reluctant to give up some home-cooked snacks?"

"If Your Majesty likes it, I will give you the kitchen in my palace!"

However, Emperor Taikang shook his head at Han Shao's generosity.

"It's just a desire for food, keep it as a thought."

"With the world in such a state now, even if we eat too much delicious food, it will taste boring."

This was a thought-provoking one. Before Han Shao could utter the familiar phrase "I am incompetent", Emperor Taikang had already retracted his disappointed look.

"Today's fun is over!"

As he said this, Emperor Taikang's body, which was condensed by the imperial dragon energy, gradually turned from solid to virtual.

Han Shao bowed upon seeing this.

"Chen Shao, I would like to send you off to your majesty!"

Just when Emperor Taikang completely withdrew his divine thought, he suddenly asked a question.

"Shao Qing...what do you think of the future of Dayong?"

Han Shao was startled when he heard this, and then he said.

"Your Majesty is wise and benevolent, and your cultivation is unparalleled."

"Given time, we will surely wipe out those scoundrels and disloyal people!"

Emperor Taikang remained silent, as if he was looking for insincerity on Han Shao's face.

After a moment, he suddenly sighed and said another sentence.

"I am old. If God does not grant me more years, I will be powerless to reverse this situation. Shao Qing should try his best."

This...what bullshit!
How dare I answer it?

Han Shao said with a terrified look, not expecting that Emperor Taikang would use a powerful move on him before leaving.

"Your Majesty will live forever, and your life span will be as long as the heavens. Why do you say this?"

Live as long as the sky?

Emperor Taikang smiled, amused by Han Shao's flattery.

"Okay, don't use these nonsense to fool me."

"I am old, but not senile."

But after laughing, Emperor Taikang looked at Han Shao.

"Shao Qing, can I really trust you?"

Faced with these words, any hesitation for a second would be disrespectful to one's acting skills today.

Han Shao said firmly.

"I am loyal to Your Majesty, and the heavens, the earth, the sun, and the moon can bear witness to it!"

It’s a pity that Emperor Taikang didn’t give him much room to play, and he was interrupted just as he started.

"I understand."

After saying that, before Han Shao could react, he threw another important remark to Han Shao.

"Since this is the case, Shaoqing, please keep an eye out for me."

"It seems that among those unfilial sons of mine, who can support this crumbling building for me and take over the throne?"
