Chapter 634: Triumph
Lu Zaixing's death was not the right time.
On the one hand, the country wanted to celebrate the victory of the war, but on the other hand, it also had to mourn for this old friend.
But even so, Zhao Yuan still gave him the dignity he deserved.
He also provided certain help to the Lu family.
The eldest son of Lu was granted a title.
The other second sons were all sent to study at Taiyuan University.
After you achieve something in the future, at least you can become a general judge in a county.
It can guarantee that the Lu family will enjoy prosperity and wealth within three generations.
The rest of the journey depends on whether the descendants of the Lu family are strong enough.
Fan Xian reported everything he saw and heard in the demon clan, as well as the attitude of the demon king, to Zhao Yuan.
The latter asked curiously: "He agreed to come to Luoyang to pay tribute soon?"
Fan Xian nodded and bowed: "That's right, but Wei Chen feels that the Demon King's behavior is a bit strange, as if he is too honest. Logically speaking, our human race pushes him too hard, and he will never face the problem.
I, the human race, forced me to do so, but I still acted like I was obedient."
"Are you suspicious of him and violating the law?" Zhao Yuan held a scroll of bamboo slips in his hand and was flipping through it.
Fan Xian said: "Yes, if he comes to Luoyang, then Wei Chen's doubts will be dispelled."
Zhao Yuan nodded and said with a smile: "Where is the army now?"
"Your Majesty, I have just arrived in Yunzhou. It is estimated that it will take more than a month to return to Luoyang." Fan Xian said.
Zhao Yuan suddenly remembered something, "Since the war with the monster clan, I have been thinking about one thing, which is about martial arts. I am thinking that at present, Wei State, except for those veteran generals, still lacks people who can lead
He is a general of a large army, so the reform of military exercises is imperative."
"What does Your Majesty want to do?" Fan Xian asked curiously.
Although he is proficient in the art of war, he is a scholar after all and does not know much about martial arts.
Zhao Yuandao: "I plan to create a martial arts academy and let the veteran generals take turns to explain the art of war in the martial arts academy. The future martial arts tests will mainly focus on paper talks and military training. As a martial artist, if you can even do paper talks,
No, you can only be a general, not a commander."
Fan Xian probably understood what the emperor meant.
However, the demon tribe was basically disabled this time. Your Majesty is doing this because you are worried that there will be another war in the future?
After this war, there will be peace within at least a hundred years, right?
"For the reform of the martial arts examination, is there anything I can do to help?" Fan Xian asked cautiously.
Although he was the top scorer in six consecutive exams, that was in the liberal arts and was far from the martial arts.
It is somewhat unreasonable for him, a civil servant, to interfere in martial arts matters.
Zhao Yuandao: "I really want your help to write an article about the construction plan of the martial arts academy."
"It's a shame for me." Fan Xian bowed repeatedly.
He is equivalent to receiving this order.
The matter of the imperial examination, speaking more seriously, is that it concerns the country, the country, and the country, and cannot be careless.
The monarch and his ministers discussed the current internal affairs again, and Zhao Yuan sighed, "I am very heartbroken by the death of Prime Minister Lu. This country has just experienced war, and now it is the time to recuperate. There are urgent needs around me.
Manpower, but he...
That’s all, if you have time, go and take care of the Lu family, and by the way, go to the Ministry of Civil Affairs to see if there are any vacancies around the fourth rank, and you can give priority to the descendants of Commander Bai Qi.”
The reason why this specification is set at the fourth rank is because in the Wei Dynasty, those above the third rank can influence national policies.
He was worried that disciples from aristocratic families who were accustomed to idleness and had no real talent or knowledge would be prone to problems if they served as high-ranking officials.
Fan Xian smiled bitterly and said: "Your Majesty, we take care of the descendants of a few old marshals every year. If we don't talk about anything else, just talking about the Bai family, we basically give them three to five people every few years.
Vacancies in official quotas.
This is something the Supreme Emperor has personally warned. If we continue to take too much care of the Bai family, I am afraid that another Xiao family will appear again."
Zhao Yuan put down the bamboo slips in his hand, stood with his hands behind his back, raised his head and looked out of the hall, murmuring: "I know, but an old commander is willing to base himself in the Demon Realm and guard it for me. I can't let him feel cold."
right?
Everyone has selfish motives. If I can't even satisfy him, how can he willingly do things for me? Is it just to estimate the Supreme Emperor's face?"
He knew very well that the old generals who followed the Supreme Emperor to conquer the world were extremely arrogant, and there was no way he could command them.
Don't talk about yourself, even the late emperor doesn't have this ability.
In this world, only the Supreme Emperor can command them. Therefore, if Bai Qi is not given enough benefits, he is afraid that he will not be willing to guard the territory of the demon clan for him.
Fan Xian had no choice but to accept the order.
I have already made a plan in my heart. At worst, I will give the Bai family some more casual official positions.
When you are a person, you also need to look at your personal abilities.
In fact, over the years, after what happened to the Xiao family, many aristocratic families have undergone many changes.
It can be said that there are many capable people.
If Zhao Yuan hadn't deliberately curbed their development, I'm afraid half of the officials in the court today would be descendants of the first Lord of Kyushu.
After Lu Zaixing was buried, the army also came to Luoyang.
Zhao Yuan personally greeted him outside the city.
He issued an edict for Daqing.
The whole of Kyushu, for a moment, seemed to be celebrating the New Year, extremely lively.
It's just that the people are happy, and the soldiers who fought bloody battles are also happy, but...
But the officials in the Ministry of Revenue had a headache.
On the third day of the celebration, all the money was burned!
But they didn't object to this. They needed to relax after the war.
After the army returned to the court in triumph, a rough statistics was made on the soldiers who died in the battle against the demon clan.
The number is approximately 1.6 million.
This is a very serious injury ratio.
This means that at least one million families are in deep sorrow.
This is war.
Zhao Yuan was very distressed, but there was nothing he could do.
If we don't fight this battle, I'm afraid the demon clan's matter will never be properly resolved.
Zhao Yuan also personally told the Ministry of Household Affairs, "I know that because of the war, the court has no money, but for the soldiers who died in the battle, all the pensions at home must be in place. You can owe them first. Once you have the money, you must
Give them priority.
I have asked Jinyiwei and Dongchang to set up special organizations. Anyone who dares to embezzle pension funds will be severely punished."
The most miserable ones were those soldiers who died in foreign lands, perhaps due to the influence of the Supreme Emperor. In short, Zhao Yuan still cared about those soldiers who were willing to sacrifice their lives for him.
They gave their lives to this country and to themselves. As their emperor, this is the only thing that they can do for them.
Everything will be settled.
