Chapter 274: Gifts

"The matter of the secret discussion between the Gao family and the Hulu has been verified by Dali Temple. Except for Gao Junyang who committed suicide in Hanzhong out of fear of guilt, Gao Juntang, Gao Mingde, Gao Weiling, Ye Changbin and others were all involved in it. Ye Changbin, Gao Ming

The two of them secretly went to Liangzhou many times to discuss peace talks. King Yu meant that the Gao family had not openly rebelled after all. Over the past thirty years, more than thirty of their sons had died on the battlefield. They must not be merciful and should not be blamed for personal reasons.

Others have implicated the whole clan, let alone the contributions of the Gao family members and the generals of the Western Qin Dynasty who fought bloody battles over the years. Although the trial department and Dali Temple have discussed together, they want to cut off Changbin, Gao Mingde, Gao Juntang, and Gao Weiling.

The four people should be punished by beheading. The King of Yu repeatedly weighed the situation and finally thought it was appropriate to reduce the crime to a first-class punishment, so the four people and their families fled to Bianzhou. After the other Gao clan members were dismissed from their official positions, they were regarded as soldiers of the Western Qin Army.

The officials can deal with it. The Western Qin army needs to be disbanded, but whether the soldiers choose to return home or move to Hedong, Hebei, or Shaanxi for resettlement, the King of Yu requires the military commanders in various places to grant land and houses according to merit, and the locals must treat them equally.

The treatment of honorable soldiers. If His Majesty has no other objections, Prince Yu’s Mansion will issue a formal decree to deal with it in the next two days..."

It has been two years since Ge Boyi and Ge Yu led the troops to escort Zhao Xian, the king of Yongjia County, across the sea to Luzon to establish Yongjia County. Wei Chujun still stayed with Emperor Shaolong as a member of Zhongshushe.

On this day, Wei Chujun brought the files on Gao Junyang's treason case to Emperor Shaolong to read, and talked about the Prince Yu's opinions on how to deal with the Gao family and the Western Qin army.

Wei Chujun initially thought that the Gao family would cause some trouble to Prince Yu's palace, but he did not expect that the entire West Qin Road would be captured by the conscripting army almost without any blood.

The Western Qin Army will eventually be disbanded. Although nearly 200,000 soldiers and families will be relocated to Hedong, Hebei, Shaanxi and other places to fill the population gap caused by the brutal war in these areas for nearly two decades, but

The Prince of Yu's Palace gave them the treatment of soldiers who fought against the captives, and they were given land and houses, so there must be no resistance.

This is almost the most favorable treatment that Prince Yu's Palace can give to the generals of the Western Qin Army.

Even ordinary members of the Gao clan would treat them like soldiers who had made outstanding achievements in the imperial war, and would be granted land and houses.

In dealing with the Gao family, Prince Yu's Palace was certainly not ruthless, and could even be said to be quite merciful. But on the other hand, it also showed that Prince Yu's Palace was confident enough and did not need to use killing to intimidate.

Wei Chujun could see that Emperor Shaolong felt sad about this result, but he was secretly relieved.

As Wei Chujun guessed, Emperor Shaolong was still satisfied with Prince Yu's lenient treatment of the Gao family. How could he sleep and eat well if he saw hundreds of members of the Gao family dead?
r> "The soldiers of the Western Qin Army have been laid off. How will the Prince of Yu's palace handle the military and political affairs on the West Qin Road?" Emperor Shaolong rarely asked with interest about the Prince of Yu's palace's next disposition of the Western Qin area.

"I heard that King Yu planned to merge Dongchuan Road and West Qin Road into the Qinchuan Province, and temporarily left Liu Shiwang in charge of the Qinchuan Province instead of dividing and conquering it," Wei Chujun said. "In addition, Gu Fan was responsible for drafting the "The Emperor of Dayue and His Royal Family"

"Excellent Gifts and Various Gifts", after the King of Yu read it, he also sent it to Xiangyang to see if His Majesty has anything to add..."

After solving the problems left by the West Qin Road and the Gao family without bloodshed, Emperor Shaolong's abdication was naturally put on the agenda.

After Emperor Shaolong abdicated, the resettlement conditions for him and his concubines, including their residence, annual fees, titles and bodyguards, as well as the rescue, management and protection of Emperor Tianxuan and thousands of his clan members who are still imprisoned in Mobei by the Red Husbands.

Matters such as the mausoleums of successive Dai Viet emperors need to be negotiated before the formal abdication edict is issued.

Prince Yu's Mansion has discussed related matters many times, and has also consulted Emperor Shaolong's opinion. Currently, Gu Fan has personally drafted the latest text, which is waiting for Emperor Shaolong's signature.

Wei Chujun dug out the latest edition of "The Gifts of the Emperor of Dayue and His Clan" from a pile of documents and handed it to Emperor Shao Long for a closer look. Generally speaking, there was not much difference from the previous text. The main content was still Emperor Shao Long's.

The edict of abdication was issued and he went to settle in Yongjia Kingdom. His title remained intact and the new dynasty treated him with the courtesy of a king from outside the dynasty. The new dynasty allocated one million guan every year until the death of Emperor Shao Long. The Dayue Ancestral Temple was the tomb of all previous emperors.

The new dynasty will always enshrine the sacrifices and set up guards to protect them carefully; the new dynasty will continue to build the unfinished parts of Emperor Ji's mausoleum, and all the money and food consumed will be funded by the new dynasty...

"Tell me more about the Yongjia Kingdom in Luzon!" No matter what, Emperor Shaolong would inevitably have a lot of reluctance in his heart. Reluctantly, he put the text of "The Gifts of the Emperor of Daiyue and His Family" in the imperial palace.

During the case, he asked about the current situation of Yongjia Kingdom.

Wei Chujun would promptly report many things that had happened since Ge Yu led his troops across the sea. However, Emperor Shaolong had both worries and expectations about settling in Luzon after abdicating the throne. He also took the trouble to listen to Wei Chujun's repeated narrations, and would look forward to them from time to time.

The situation after settling in Luzon.

Luzon is a large island at the northernmost tip of the Southern Ryukyu Islands deep in the Southeast Ocean. It was established as early as the Sui and Tang Dynasties.

It was discovered by maritime merchants passing there. Since its discovery, it has been one of the most important transit points for trade between the Central Plains and overseas vassal states. There is also the ancient Moyi Kingdom established by local Tibetan people.

Moyi Country is about six to seven hundred miles in radius, slightly larger than Huainan East Road, and is rich in products. It is roughly estimated that only three to four hundred thousand Tibetan people live and breed here.

Four years ago, Ge Yu led five thousand elites to cross the sea and land on the island. He quickly captured the royal city of Moyi Kingdom, and then built Yongjia City in the northwest corner of the island. Two years ago, he welcomed Zhao Xian, the king of Yongjia County, to join the feudal clan. Ge Boyi,

During Gaochunnian's reign, he took charge of military and political affairs by controlling the Prime Minister.

At present, in addition to incorporating nearly 300,000 indigenous people into the Yongjia Kingdom, over the years, soldiers who followed Ge's family, young families and some gentry in southern Zhejiang have moved more than 80,000 people across the sea in batches - although there are still more people to the south of the Yongjia Kingdom.

Many small island vassal states are smaller in scale than the previous Moyi Kingdom, and their military force is weak. At present, it seems that Yongjia Kingdom will not have much problem maintaining its local rule.

Although Yongjia Kingdom is currently relatively poor, it has also promised to provide material assistance of no less than 500,000 guan per year in the next twenty years. In addition, Emperor Shaolong will settle in Yongjia Kingdom, and he will receive an annual fee of 1 million guan from the new dynasty.

, it is also sufficient for subsequent agricultural development and city-state construction. The land area can be said to be quite vast, and there are many nearby islands that can be annexed. After the agricultural development reaches a certain foundation, the population will inevitably grow significantly.

Of course, the Yu Palace promised that after the establishment of the new dynasty, it would continue to encourage farmers who lacked land in Jiangsu and Zhejiang to move to Yongjia and other vassal states to settle.

All in all, the prospects and potential of Yongjia Kingdom are actually much greater than that of Lelang Kingdom, where Ji King Zhao Yin is about to take over.

Emperor Shaolong was very interested in discussing with Wei Chujun for a long time. When it was getting late, Wei Chujun said goodbye and left the palace, returning to his residence in Xiangyang City. Wei Chujun came to Xiangyang with only his wife, concubines and a few servants. In addition to delivering the news, he also

Although he had no real power, he was still a member of Zhongshushe in name only, and a residence was prepared for him in Xiangyang City.

Before nightfall, Jin Longquan still used to patrol around the palace to prevent the palace guards, maids, and chamberlains from slacking off. When he walked to the Chui Gong Hall, he saw the lights in the hall were brightly lit. When he walked in, he saw that Emperor Shaolong was still sitting there.

Before the imperial examination, he did not go back to his bedroom to rest.

Jin Longquan stepped forward to salute and saw Emperor Shao Long sitting behind the imperial court, looking through the files on Gao Junyang's treason case.

Since the agreement was reached four years ago about the Yongjia County prince crossing the sea to establish a feudal vassal, Emperor Shaolong's temper has been somewhat restrained, and the Imperial City Department in charge of Jin Longquan was also ordered to be slightly more relaxed with Emperor Shaolong.
Due to restrictions, a copy of many military and political affairs decided by Prince Yu's Mansion will basically be copied and sent to Chui Gong Hall.

Of course, Emperor Shaolong read these copied memorials on a whim, treating them as a pastime while living in seclusion in the palace, and rarely took them as seriously as he does today.

Jin Longquan also patiently stood aside and did not urge Emperor Shaolong to return to his palace to rest.

Emperor Shaolong glanced at Jin Longquan, and then looked at several palace attendants and guards standing in the palace.

Seeing that Emperor Shaolong wanted to speak alone, Jin Longquan waved his hand to signal the palace attendants and guards to go out first.

Emperor Shaolong picked up a document from the corner of the imperial case, handed it to Jin Longquan and said, "I have just drafted an abdication edict in my own hand. You can pass it to King Yu to see if the wording needs to be changed..."

The abdication edict still needs to be written by Emperor Shaolong himself in order to reduce the suspicion of future generations as much as possible - although the abdication of the throne has been put on the agenda, Emperor Shaolong has been unwilling to write the abdication edict in his own hand before.

Now seeing that Emperor Shaolong not only took out the abdication edict drafted by himself, but also sent away the palace attendants before, Jin Longquan frowned slightly and said, "Master Wei will come to the palace tomorrow morning, why didn't your majesty ask him for more details?"

?”

Although Wei Chujun, as a member of the Zhongshu family, did not live up to his name, as the only available penman around Emperor Shaolong, of course he could and should participate in the drafting of the abdication edict.

Emperor Shaolong obviously wanted to bypass Wei Chujun in this matter.

"Who else is in Xiangyang in Prince Yu's palace?" Emperor Shaolong asked.

"Han Gui and Mr. Han are in Xiangyang on business," Jin Longquan said.

At present, the center of gravity of the court has been temporarily transferred to Biyang, and the entire empire is operating around Prince Yu's Palace. Jin Longquan is in charge of the Imperial City Department, mainly responsible for palace confinement affairs. Pan Chenghu has the right to know the affairs of Xiangyang Palace, and is mainly responsible for the military and political affairs of Xiangyang Palace.

As well as the construction of the new city of Lumen Mountain - except for the two of them, there are no other important officials in the Yu Palace who are stationed in Xiangyang. Before the expedition against the Gao family, Xu Xin was also transferred to Western Shu to deploy troops and horses to strengthen Western Shu's attack on Western Qin.

military preparedness.

Han Gui was in Xiangyang at this time, mainly to promote the abdication of the throne.

Emperor Shaolong knew that Han Gui's status in the Prince Yu's family might not be as good as that of Shi Zhen, Gu Fan and others, but he was definitely able to speak, and even had the power to make decisions on some key matters. He said to Jin Longquan, "You represent

I asked Han Gui, can the Prince of Yu’s Palace move all the Gao clan to Yongjia?”
