I'm so hard

Chapter 303 The Finale
Xiliang Mountain, as its name suggests, is very desolate.

The vegetation is sparse and the rocks are uneven, suitable for burying people, but not suitable for living.

This mountain is the ancestral tomb of the northern Mongolian royal family, and it is also the place where the previous kings worshiped the heavens. Whenever there is a matter related to the national economy and the people's livelihood, a ceremony must be held here.

When Zhao Yan arrived at Xiliang Mountain, it was almost dusk, and everyone set up camp at the foot of the mountain.

Asif, deputy commander of Northern Mongolia, had already reported that the civil and military officials of Northern Mongolia had already gathered at the foot of Xiliang Mountain, waiting for Zhao Yan to summon him at any time.

Zhao Yan and Yang Hong discussed it and decided that tomorrow morning, they would accompany Lu Nianwei to pay homage to her father, and then in the afternoon, in front of Ergu's mausoleum, they would call all the officials of Northern Mongolia and inform them that after their surrender, Dazhou sincerity.

The next day, just after dawn, it started to rain lightly.

Accompanied by three hundred dragon guards, Zhao Yan and Lu Nianwei came to the tomb of Lu Nianwei's father.

According to private etiquette, the other party is Zhao Yan's father-in-law, and he should also kneel and worship, but because Zhao Yan is the monarch of the Great Zhou Dynasty, it is definitely inappropriate to kneel and worship, so this ceremony was exempted.

Kneeling in front of her father's grave, Lu Nianwei also had mixed feelings in her heart.

Although she is a princess, in the eyes of her father and Ergu, she is a commodity that can be exchanged. If she hadn't met Zhao Yan, maybe she could not bear the humiliation now and chose to commit suicide.

She no longer had any deep feelings for her father, and after kowtowing three times in accordance with Dazhou etiquette, she left with Zhao Yan.

……

In the afternoon, under heavy inspection by the Shence Army, more than 300 civil and military officials, big businessmen, and noble representatives from Northern Mongolia came to the tomb of Ergu.

According to the rules of Northern Mongolia, they must first worship the old master before they can take refuge in the new master.

"kneel!"

Under Asfu's command, everyone knelt down to Ergu expressionlessly for the last time, and then knelt down in front of Zhao Yan.

Asif knelt down on one leg and said, "Respected His Majesty the Great Zhou Emperor, I, Northern Mongolia, are willing to submit to the Great Zhou. The land, people, and officials of Northern Mongolia are all at the disposal of His Majesty the Great Zhou Emperor!"

Zhao Yan nodded slightly, and then began the speech he had already prepared.

"From now on, Northern Mongolia will abolish the country as a state, and Asif will be the governor of Northern Mongolia. In order to ensure the stability of Northern Mongolia, all previous crimes will no longer be investigated, and all officials will remain in their positions. The laws of the Great Zhou are enforced, as long as they do not violate the laws of the Great Zhou, I can guarantee that I will never harm anyone. Of course, if they violate the laws of the Great Zhou, they will be severely punished..."

Zhao Yan spoke for almost a quarter of an hour, then sent the prepared edict to Asif, and finally answered some questions from the Northern Mongolian officials, and the ceremony was not over until dusk.

At the moment when it was over, Yang Hong couldn't help but let out a long breath. He can now be sure that Beimeng is absolutely willing to surrender, and there will be no more moths.

Near dusk, Zhao Yan was about to go down the mountain when Asif came again.

"Your Majesty, I found a stone mural in the cave where Ergu committed suicide. There are small characters on the left side of the mural, which are written as a gift to His Majesty. I wonder if Your Majesty is interested in taking a look?" Asif said respectfully .

Oh?
There was a smile on Zhao Yan's face. A lot of his communication with Ergu was through paintings. Now Ergu drew him a painting before he died, so he was naturally interested.

"Idle is idle, let's go and have a look!"

The cave was on the mountainside of Xiliang Mountain, less than three miles away from Zhao Yan's camp, so Zhao Yan passed directly under the protection of the Fifty Dragon Guards.

Not long after, Zhao Yan arrived at the entrance of the cave under Asfu's guidance.

The cave was deep and had a faint smell of animal excrement.

"Your Majesty, please!" Asif held a torch and said respectfully.

At this time, a dragon guard cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, can you allow me to take a look first!"

Zhao Yan nodded slightly.

Holding the torch, the dragon guard quickly got in, and came out after a while.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the cave is about seven feet long, and there is a mural at the end. The inside is empty, and nothing else was found."

"Asif, you lead the way, the five of you just follow me in, and the others are waiting outside!" Zhao Yan said.

Immediately, Asif held the torch and walked in the front, followed by two dragon guards, then Zhao Yan, and two dragon guards followed behind.

Soon, Zhao Yan came to the end of the cave.

Two torches illuminate the rock wall particularly brightly.

Zhao Yan looked up at the mural.

The content of the painting is very simple.

A tall steed roared to the sky, and under the horse's hooves, a stone was crushed to pieces.

The name is: Horse Cracking Stone Map.

The horse is naturally Ergu, and the stone refers to Zhao Yan.

Zhao Yan couldn't help but couldn't help crying and laughing. He didn't expect that Ergu would hold his head down until his death.

At this moment, the cave suddenly shook.

Before Zhao Yan could react, he only felt that his feet were empty, and his whole body fell into the darkness.

After an unknown amount of time, Zhao Yan slowly woke up from the coma.

He opened his eyes and found that he was in another huge cave, and he was tied to a stone pillar.

On one side stood four men wearing animal skins, and at the front stood a tall man with his body behind his back.

Zhao Yan looked around and found that the four dragon guards and Asif were not here.

The man turned around and looked at Zhao Yan with a smile: "Zhao Yan, long time no see, you didn't expect that?"

A faint smile appeared on Zhao Yan's face, and there was no trace of surprise in his eyes.

The one standing in front of him was none other than Ergu.

Ergu was a little surprised, and said: "You... don't you feel surprised?"

Zhao Yan smiled lightly: "I don't believe you are dead at all!"

"Then...then you still dare to come? Don't be stubborn, if you had known earlier, how could you have been arrested by me!" Ergu said angrily.

Zhao Yan heaved a long sigh: "Your plan is quite clever. You lured me to Beimeng by blowing up to death. You must have expected that I would definitely come, and you also expected that I would definitely look at the painting you left behind. So you set up this game at all costs, but you still lost!"

"Now, Beimeng has returned to Da Zhou, even if you kill me, the surrender of Beimeng cannot be reversed!"

"Losing? As long as I kill you, it is considered a victory. After you die, with my Ergu's ability, it will take less than five years to restore Northern Mongolia's previous strength, and it will take less than ten years to avoid Da Zhou. !"

"Haha, how naive, do you think that the current Great Zhou is still the former Great Zhou? I let you fight for 20 years, and Beimeng can't catch up with Great Zhou!" Zhao Yan said with a smile.

Ergu rolled his eyes and said, "Zhao Yan, I know what you're thinking. You deliberately provoked me to let me chat with you, so as to delay the time until the Zhou army came to rescue you. Let me tell you." , Impossible. The entire Xiliang Mountain has been hollowed out by this commander, and the Dazhou people above can't find it at all!"

Zhao Yan's smile was still relaxed, and he said: "The Xiliang Mountain Crypt is about 120 miles long. It was built by the military commanders of Northern Mongolia over a hundred years ago. There are eight exits, four of which lead to water, one leads to the palace, and the other three On the southwest side, northeast side and the westernmost side..."

"You...how do you know everything?"

Ergu was sweating coldly.

Zhao Yan smiled: I am just playing with you, in this world, no one can kill me.

After finishing speaking, Zhao Yan said: "Untie the rope!"

Whoosh!Whoosh!
Almost instantly, two short arrows flew past, instantly breaking the rope tied to Zhao Yan's body.

There were twenty dragon guards hidden around Zhao Yan. The reason why Zhao Yan pretended to be captured was to completely destroy Ergu's confidence.

"This... this... this... kill him soon!" Ergu shouted angrily.

Just as the four men in animal skins were about to make a move, they were shot through the head by a firearm.

Ergu sat down on the ground, completely lost. He didn't expect that the strategy he had carefully planned for a long time would be seen through by the other party.

The next day, Ergu was completely insane after being diagnosed by the accompanying imperial physician.

Zhao Yan did not kill him, but let him guard the mountain in Xiliang Mountain.

Afterwards, Zhao Yan executed a Northern Mongolian official who still wanted to rebel, and returned to Da Zhou.

After this incident, the territory of Dazhou almost doubled, and there were no other countries around it.

This means that for a long time, there will be no more wars and disasters in Da Zhou.

Having unified the world at a young age, Zhao Yan is destined to find happiness in other fields in the days to come.

……

In the 12th year of Longhe, Zhao Yan was 30 years old. He invented concrete and cement. Dazhou started a large-scale infrastructure project. The efficiency of land transportation surpassed that of waterway, which greatly increased the convenience of people's migration and business.

In the 21st year of Longhe, when Zhao Yan inspected a certain island, he discovered coal and oil, invented the steam engine, improved steelmaking technology, and Dazhou entered the era of large industries.

In the 25th year of Longhe, the first bicycle was born in Dazhou, and the first steam train began to run in Changdan as a pilot.

In the 30 years of Longhe, Zhao Yan made a generator, and then invented electric lights, trams, and movie projectors, and Dazhou officially entered the era of large electrics.

In the 45th year of Longhe, Zhao Yan included many disciplines such as natural science, philosophy, electrical technology, and physical chemistry into the scope of the imperial examination, and opened up an education method where there is no distinction between teaching and learning

In the 50 years of Longhe, the treasury of Dazhou was abundant, and the annual per capita income of the people had reached 1000 taels (one tael of silver equals 1000 yuan), and great progress had been made in education, medical care, and health.

……

In the end, Zhao Yan died at the age of 108. In his life, he married 63 concubines and gave birth to 232 children. He was honored as the first emperor through the ages.

When he passed away, the people wept bitterly, all the officials sat quietly for three days, and some women died because of being too sad...

Every time it comes to his death day, Changdan City will be besieged, and there will be endless crying for several days in a row...
