Chapter 1470 Disgusting things before enthronement
King Zhen and King Yong also came to Shu.
These two former emperors and grandsons, who were used to show the kindness of the pseudo-emperor and his son, were not in a good situation in Shu.
Especially after King Qin revealed his identity, the treatment of the two people almost took a sharp turn for the worse.
But the strange thing is that since then, no one has come to cause trouble.
You must know that even when they were living in Chang'an, those petty officials and even evil young men dared to come to extort money. If they were not given, they would make noises, saying that the two were plotting to rebel. The two had no choice but to spend money to eliminate the disaster.
The two brothers live next to each other, they are just two ordinary houses.
The place is small, but there are quite a lot of people including their wives, children, and children, so they have no choice but to squeeze into one room.
As for money...the two of them have some in their hands, but they dare not spend it randomly.
The weather is cold, the house is draughty, the children at home are crying, the women are complaining, and the fuss is endless.
King Zhen stood under the eaves and looked outside with his hands behind his hands, a gloomy look on his eyebrows.
"Your Majesty, Minister Zheng is here."
"oh!"
Zheng Yuandong came in quietly through the back door, and even dressed up in disguise.
"Now that I don't even have a study room, I'm neglecting you."
The two met outside King Jeong's bedroom.
"The king has suffered."
Zheng Yuandong looked a little sad, "Just now the pseudo-emperor said in the court that every family can return to Guanzhong."
King Zhen's eyes burst out with brilliance, "Who is there?,
"Aristocratic families, powerful officials, clans...including the king and others."
King Zhen covered his forehead, "He wants to look good to my brother, right?"
"Your Majesty is wise...what a pity."
Zheng Yuandong shook his head, "If it were a time of peace, the king would be the crown prince!"
"But these are troubled times. In troubled times, people are worse than dogs!,
Zheng Yuandong handed over his hand and said, "Sichuan is not a place where I can stay for a long time. Before I leave, I have a few words..."
"you say."
"Shun Tian obeys his orders!"
Zheng Yuandong turned around and left, and later appeared in front of King Yong.
"Can you go back?"
King Yong couldn't believe it.
"yes!"
Zheng Yuandong smiled bitterly and said: "In those years when the aristocratic family became powerful, I once thought that only the king's forbearing temper could pull the Tang Dynasty out of the quagmire. But who would have thought that time would bring fate, but the King of Qin suddenly emerged.
"
"What were your plans back then?" King Yong asked with a smile.
"Back then, I discussed with others to win over some officials and generals who were dissatisfied with the puppet emperor, and waited for an opportunity to launch a palace coup." "I know this, and what I want to ask is, what are your ambitions?
Zheng Yuandong was startled, then thought about it, and laughed at himself: "I have forgotten... my ambition..." He raised his head, with a look of sadness in his eyes.
"Create territory for the Tang Dynasty!"
The King of Yue is becoming more and more transparent now.
After escaping to Shu, the territory became smaller, the court also became smaller, and there were fewer things to do.
Li Mi wanted to work hard, and often took care of things with his own hands. After working hard, his spirits improved a lot.
Everyone looked at it and thought, it seems that the emperor can still struggle for a few more years, so naturally the prince will have no chance.
"Your Majesty spends money like water. Most of it is used in the army, and some is used to win over the dignitaries and the rich people of Shu. I have been observing for a long time and found that your Majesty is a little unusually excited.
Zhao Dongping was very surprised, "Your Majesty is quite old..."
In the study, the King of Yue sat by the window, "His woman ran away and lived in the palace, waiting for that scoundrel to favor her. This was a great shame and humiliation for him. However, if it had not been for this great shame and humiliation, he would have been like a walking corpse.
..."
"Your Majesty, are you saying that Your Majesty lives by this thought?"
"Yes. How can you be dignified by hiding in Shu after losing your country? It's said to be a counterattack, but look at that scoundrel. Even the Southern Zhou Dynasty was destroyed by him.
Just with the men and horses he recruited, just with the land of Shu, just with those generals... do you think the counterattack can be successful?"
"cannot!"
"He is more afraid of death than anyone else, but he is willing to take risks. It is because there are not many ideas to keep him alive. One is the country, and the other is the woman. In the corner of the country, the woman falls aside..."
The King of Yue said sarcastically: "There is no need for him to counterattack now. That scoundrel has returned to Chang'an, and it won't be long before he leads his army to cover him up."
Zhou Zun hurried home.
"Aye, Zitai destroyed the Southern Zhou Dynasty!"
"I already know it."
Zhou Qin carried the bird cage and whistled at the old dog.
"The country is finally settled."
Zhou's residence in Shu was very spacious, and Zhou Qin's residence had a large courtyard with many flowers and trees, not to mention small bridges and flowing water.
The father and son walked slowly on the path.
"The Southern Zhou Dynasty was destroyed, and the Central Plains was unified except for Shu and Western Xinjiang. Moreover, the territory was unprecedented. I think Zitai will not have an ancestral name from now on."
The so-called ancestors usually refer to the founding emperor, the great ancestor, or the great ancestor.
Zhou Qin spoke highly of his grandson-in-law.
"The false emperor ordered that all the families who followed him into Shu can go back."
The servant brought tea, Zhou Zun took it and took a sip, and said happily: "This is to cause trouble for Zitai." "Guanzhong is the territory of these people. The local snakes have gone back. Guanzhong and Chang'an are probably very lively."
"Actually, as long as Zitai doesn't change those rules, these people will definitely choose to surrender."
"I see, it's difficult!"
From beginning to end, neither father nor son mentioned Zhou's whereabouts.
No matter how stupid Li Mi is, he will still hold Zhou and Huang Chunhui hostage.
"Prince Jeong and Prince Yong will surely go back too, right?"
"Yes, on the way home, I saw the two families packing their things."
"I'm so happy!" Zhou Qin exclaimed, "I wonder if my soul may return to my hometown."
"Of course it can!"
King Qin and his party returned to Chang'an on a cold afternoon.
"I have met His Highness!"
Returning to the palace again, King Qin felt less strange and said to Zhou Ning: "It feels like home." "There are too many people." Li Laoer felt that too many people were troublesome.
"It's a little more.,
King Qin said casually.
Tired from the journey, the family took a shower and each took a nap.
King Qin woke up in the middle of the night, dressed himself and went out.
The maids on night duty outside were in a panic. King Qin waved his hand, "Don't disturb the princess."
It was cold, he rubbed his hands, and a palace maid opened his clothes...
"This is?"
King Qin was puzzled, so the maid said: "I will warm your Majesty's hands."
"absurd!"
King Qin had a serious face, and the maid quickly knelt down.
"It's not you I'm talking about, it's this rule! Get up!"
King Qin paced outside for a long time and later went to practice by himself.
While eating breakfast, he said to Zhou Ning: "Many rules in the palace need to be changed."
"What rules?" Zhou Ning asked.
"For example, if you use your chest and abdomen to warm people's hands and feet, if your children and grandchildren get used to this kind of enjoyment, they will treat people like cud dogs."
"I'll look for someone to ask later."
King Qin glared, "It's a big deal."
"I understand." Zhou Ning smiled and said, "This is for the long-term peace and stability of our children and grandchildren."
"It's good that you know.
King Qin ate breakfast in a hurry and said, "I'm going to the front. By the way, I guess the next step is to persuade people to come in. You are in charge of the palace and don't follow me in making noises."
"knew."
Zhou Ning watched him go out and suddenly asked: "Your Highness is getting more nagging?"
Huahong smiled and said, "Your Highness does not nag with others.
Zhou Ning smiled, "Your Highness is going to ascend the throne. If there are people in the harem,
It’s not appropriate for me to be a woman.”
"Then...should I choose a concubine?" Huahong asked.
Zhou Ning shook his head, "By the way, how are Wu Luo and others doing lately?"
"Very honest."
"We're all waiting!"
Today's court meeting, Liu Qing was the first to leave work.
"Your Highness, except for Shu and Western Xinjiang, the world has been unified. Your Highness has achieved martial virtue and made the world obey. I think that Your Highness will be the emperor immediately!"
"I second the proposal!"
"I second the proposal!"
One by one, the ministers came out to second the proposal.
King Qin pondered.
Logically, I have to persuade him again.
So Liu Qing is ready to list... In fact, most people are ready.
This is an investment.
Everyone listed above can get more or less benefits.
The biggest benefit is naturally to Liu Qing and others.
People say that there is no greater skill than following the dragon. Now, these few are about to become famous.
"According to the rules, you should decline politely, right?"
King Qin's question made everyone startled.
"Then you wait for me to persuade you to join. This is a routine." King Qin sighed: "Since ancient times, deep love cannot be retained. Only routine can win people's hearts. But this rule has a drawback."
"Your Highness, please make it clear." Luo Cai said.
"Waste of paper!"
Everyone: "......"
King Qin nodded, "Get ready for the enthronement ceremony! By the way, be simpler. Do you understand simplicity? Don't spend too much money, especially on manpower. Don't recruit tens of thousands of civilians to build high platforms. It's unnecessary."
The official from the Ministry of Industry was stunned, "Your Highness, where can I go to offer sacrifices to heaven and earth?"
When a new emperor ascends the throne, especially when King Qin has overthrown the existence of the previous emperor, the sacrifice to heaven and earth should be even more solemn. "The platform is too high and the people can't see it." King Qin said: "Look, the tower of the imperial city is good, facing the
Across Zhuque Street, it’s bright and bright!”
Everyone: "......"
Everyone was helpless to have such a preparatory emperor who refused to follow the rules.
If it were a prince who grew up in a deep palace, these officials would make him doubt his life. But when facing the King of Qin, these officials could only stop their efforts.
"It is said that His Highness is about to ascend the throne."
In Lin's Dessert Shop, a shopkeeper and two waiters were talking about this matter.
"Aniang, what is enthronement?" Wang Qin asked while sitting behind the counter.
"Just to be the emperor, hey! Yang Qi is here.,
Ah Liang hurried in, "I have to go back after getting a few kilograms of snacks."
"So urgent!"
"Well! Aye is feeling unhappy today, so I'll bring some snacks back to comfort him."
"Yo! He is a filial person!"
Amidst the praise, A Liang put the money on the counter and said to Wang Qin: "My dried meat is delicious. I will bring some for you to try later."
"oh!"
Wang Qin saw him running wildly and shouted: "Slow down!"
But Ah Liang didn't dare to be slow, he ran very fast.
After passing here, a guard came over with a horse. A Liang got on the horse and left.
King Qin was furious in the palace.
"A bunch of old dogs deliberately did such disgusting things before I ascended the throne."
Just before, Jin Yiwei came to report that a group of people were kneeling outside Chang'an County, begging to be returned to slavery. Those people were the slaves of the wealthy families that King Qin had rescued. Among those people, there were tens of thousands of men serving in the army.
Although the Second Southern Expedition did not achieve any meritorious service, it was still a bit of hard work to defend the place.
To do this now is obviously a slap in the face.
Helianyan is here.
"Your Highness, those people look at you as... they are all ignorant people."
"How can you be deceived if you are not ignorant?" King Qin sneered, "How dare a smart person get involved in such a thing? But if you ask?" "If you ask, each family will be given a thousand dollars."
"I will be a slave for a thousand dollars!" Qin
The king's eyes were filled with seriousness, "Maybe Aye failed in this matter back then!" "Yes." Han Ji was accompanying him, "His Majesty also took action back then, but it's a pity..."
