A month later, the mess in Bianliang City was basically cleared up.
The normal life of the people in the city continued, and everyone returned to the state before the war. However, there were no longer the envoys of the Twelve Shrines on the streets to promote the doctrines of the shrines. The East City Lecture Platform and the West City Arena were also deserted, and they no longer
No one went to either place to watch.
Hui Emperor Zhao Shuo and Prince Zhao Gou died in the Battle of Bianliang City. Four generals in the dynasty, Meng Zhi, Wang Ming, Fang Xiang and Fang Bi, also died in the turmoil. The court was in turmoil for a while and was in danger.
During this month, as the eldest princess of the royal family, Lin Yang, with the assistance of Prime Minister Gao Wenchong, successfully took control of the military power in Bianliang City, and in a very short period of time, the government and the public secretly surrendered to the Twelve Divine Palaces.
All the officials were arrested and taken into Dali Temple. Some officials with higher rank and seniority not only did not let him go, but did not give him a chance to defend himself. They were pulled out and beheaded the next day, and all his family assets were confiscated.
In addition, she also ordered the abolition of various bad policies during the reign of Hui Emperor Zhao Shuo, liberated a group of poor people who had been exiled in Beicheng, and allowed them to return to their homes.
The martial arts figures and monks who participated in the Battle of Bianliang City also received preferential treatment. Lin Yang first rewarded those martial artists and offered good enough conditions to invite Xiao Jinfeng, Kang Youde and Ji Liuming to serve as officials in the court.
.
Except for Xiao Jinfeng, who declined due to old age, the other three accepted the offer gladly. From then on, these two powerful families officially had official status.
As for those monks, Lin Yang naturally rectified their names and issued more than ten seal orders to rehabilitate them. Those monks who unfortunately died in unjust prisons would be given titles by the imperial court, and temples would be built in Bianliang City to honor them.
The treasury was opened and gold and silver were given to them to repair the mountain gate temple.
The scholars who took to the streets to help out that day, as well as the people led by Guan Suzhi, were naturally rewarded, so I won’t tell them one by one here.
On the other hand, Xie Changyuan has been quite leisurely in the past month.
After the battle of Bianliang City ended, he, General Xie, finally had nothing to fight. In his free time, he and Wang Bi and other brothers gathered together to eat wine and meat. Occasionally, Gao Wen Chong came to visit, and Xie Changyuan would also have a long chat with him.
, some of the content of the chat was about specific cooperation matters between Qin and Song Dynasties in the future, and some were about kendo and martial arts.
Nowadays, Gao Wen Chong is not an ordinary person. In addition to being an extremely popular minister, he has gained the title of Great Sword Immortal in the Purple Mansion Realm overnight after 20 years of hard work. Looking at the entire Eastern Earth Changsheng Continent, he is a top existence.
His attainments in swordsmanship are superb. He dared to fight against a veteran strongman like Li Muzhi, the Martial God of Cheng Er Realm, just after being promoted to the Purple Mansion Realm, which shows his extraordinary courage.
He was very close to Xie Changyuan, and he had some suggestions for him, so he came up with an idea for Xie Changyuan.
"The heavy sword is also a sword. Although it has no edge, it still has its sharpness. In addition to opening and closing, if you can add some dexterity, it can be regarded as a killer weapon."
These are the exact words Gao Wenchong said to Xie Changyuan.
In this regard, Gao Wenchong proposed the concept of "sword energy".
The so-called sword energy is the threshold that all sword cultivators in the world must cross. The sword energy activates the true energy in the meridians and puts it into the three-foot sword edge. Wherever it passes, it can kill people invisible. If the realm is advanced, it can be separated from the air.
Killing enemies is no problem.
The old prime minister believes that Xie Changyuan's body has accumulated a massive amount of Gengjin Qi. Since he has this foundation, he can turn it into clever uses. He can avoid the process of cultivating Zhenqi and Sword Qi and directly turn Gengjin Qi into sword Qi for use. It can also achieve the same goal.
The effect of cutting gold and breaking jade.
Gao Wenchong only proposed a concept, but it made Xie Changyuan deeply moved. So since Gao Wenchong left, he has been thinking about the possibility of using Gengjin Qi to replace sword Qi.
Apart from these things, Xie Changyuan also has one more thing to do, which is to take an hour every day to go shopping.
Of course, this shopping was not shopping in the ordinary sense. He was indeed wandering around the streets, but the places he wandered were always near Madao Street.
Madao Street is the second largest street in Bianliang City after Imperial Street. This place was originally bustling and lively, and it was also where most of the official residences of the DPRK were located.
Most of the people living here are high-ranking officials of third rank or above. It is also the place where Princess Kailinyang takes the most care of the government and the public. In one month, one-third of the officials in the entire street had their homes confiscated, because during the process
There are often some bloody scenes in the street, which directly leads to the deserted Madao Street today, and ordinary people do not dare to run here.
And Xie Changyuan ran here every day, sometimes strolling back and forth, looking at the plaques of various mansions, and occasionally he would stop and lean against the wall to stare at the door of a certain house.
At this time, Xie Changyuan had something extra on his waist, which was a large smoking pot.
He listened to Monk Guangji's instructions, dried the herbs, crushed them, put them into his pipe, lit them like a dry tobacco and inhaled them into his lungs, using the medicinal power to alleviate the side effects of the Vajra Indestructible Magic. The effect of this was significant.
Yes, his joint pain has indeed been relieved in recent days. Although the taste of these herbs is not good, it is bearable considering the effect.
He leaned against the wall and smoked, smoked a pot and left, then continued walking, stopping from time to time to stare at an official's mansion and smoke.
Whenever he stopped at a house, the guard in front of the door would rush in and report to the master of the house, which would cause a panic in the owner's house.
Xie Changyuan made a great reputation during the Battle of Bianliang City, so these officials naturally knew him, and the ridicule of Emperor Hui Zhao Shuo in the court hall that day was still fresh in his memory.
I heard that this god of death has some relationship with Princess Linyang. Now he comes to his door for no reason and stares at the door. Who knows if Princess Linyang invited him to bring bad luck?
If this man comes in on a whim, no one in Bianliang City can stop him!
So they could only wait tremblingly for this man to leave. Over the past few days, they had already had a psychological shadow on Xie Changyuan. Even the women and children in the house had heard of Xie Changyuan's name and some exaggerated legends.
.
For example, there are exaggerated rumors that Xie Changyuan has a green face and fangs, is three feet tall, is murderous, and even eats human flesh.
Later, when there was a child who was noisy and crying in the middle of the night, his mother would just say, "If you don't sleep peacefully, Xie Changyuan will come and take you away!", the child would be frightened into silence immediately and sleep peacefully.
Went.
This allusion was later called "Chang Yuan Zhi Cry" in the later Song Dynasty.
There is actually a reason why Xie Changyuan acted like this.
At the beginning, Xie Changyuan's first choice for Qin-Song cooperation was Prince Zhao Gou. Unfortunately, he never had the chance to meet him. Instead, Princess Linyang took the initiative to appear in front of him.
After the subsequent Battle of Bianliang City, Xie Changyuan learned that Hui Emperor Zhao Shuo and Prince Zhao Gou were killed by artillery, but Princess Linyang, who was on the high platform together at the time, left the high platform early.
Whether it was a coincidence or whether this was within Lin Yang's expectation, Xie Changyuan did not know. However, every order issued by this woman after she initially took power was praised by the people, which shows the high political talent of this woman.
She knew what the people wanted and what the country needed, so she sympathized with the people, rewarded the heroes, and advocated cooperation with Da Qin. This was enough.
Lin Yang was born into a royal family with pure blood, and her current political skills are quite impressive. It is believed that in the near future, the Song Dynasty will usher in the first female emperor in history.
Of course, the common people may not care who will be the emperor, but this may not be the case for the officials in the court. In the first few years before the new emperor ascends the throne, he still has to live by the looks of his old ministers, let alone a female emperor.
Xie Changyuan believed that among the high-ranking officials with military power or political power in the DPRK, there would be some who were dissatisfied with Lin Yang.
Just like the previous opening of the treasury in Linyang to rebuild temples for monks and monks, which almost emptied the treasury, in order to rebuild the buildings damaged by the civil war in Bianliang City, Her Royal Highness encouraged officials from the DPRK and China to contribute private funds to fill the treasury needs, and promised to set up IOUs
, and the money will be returned together with interest at a later date.
This proposal basically only received the support of a series of civil servants headed by Gao Wenchong. Half of the officials in the entire court still sneered at it and had no intention of paying attention to the eldest princess.
This group of people obviously didn't take Lin Yang seriously, and chose to turn a deaf ear to the orders he promulgated.
Such people are very dangerous. They may just disobey orders now, but they may dare to rebel in the future if they are not protected.
Therefore, Xie Changyuan would occasionally go to the streets and stare at this group of people, using the illustrious reputation he had established in Bianliang City to intimidate this group of people. At least before Lin Yang ascended the throne, this group of people had to be intimidated.
This kind of behavior is rogue, and the effect is the same as placing a coffin at your door in broad daylight, but it is also effective. After all, everyone knows that this coffin may be prepared for you.
Within a month, some of those officials signed IOUs one after another and contributed their private property to the national treasury.
As for the small number of tough issues, they are not under Xie Changyuan's control. I believe they will be dealt with after Princess Linyang ascends the throne.
