Tang Guoqiang and Fu Taiyi prostrated themselves on the ground, and everyone following him also prostrated themselves.
Lei Xiang was startled, fell to the ground quickly, rushed to help Tang Guoqiang and Fu Taiyi up, and said quickly: You two are trying to break me! After all, Dahai and I are brothers, and we are two generations older than me. How can we make such a great gift?
After Tang Guoqiang and Fu Taiyi were helped up, Tang Guoqiang sighed and said with a smile: Tang is really unable to repay the kindness that Shaoxia Lei has shown to our country. If Shaoxia hadn't arrived in time, I'm afraid our big brother Li Guo will become Dali County. Therefore, if it is just a life-saving favor, Tang Mou can still accept it shamelessly, but the ancestral foundation can only be preserved with the blessing of the young hero. If Tang Mou does not thank him, he will not even be able to see his ancestors in the future!
Lei Xiang smiled and said: The Tang Dynasty was at its peak in the Spring and Autumn Period, why do you need to say such depressing words? But what happened to Dali County?
Tang Guoqiang was about to answer when Fu Taiyi said: The king, Mr. Lei, is not the place to talk at this time, and there are so many things to deal with. How about you two move on first and talk in detail after the matter is settled?
Lei Xiang quickly agreed, indeed, now is not a good time to talk.
After all, there are still 30,000 surrendered soldiers from the Western Qin Kingdom and tens of thousands of rebels outside. These people must be controlled in time. Moreover, Dali Country has just experienced a great chaos, and people's hearts are in turmoil no matter how high or low they are. Now is not the time to talk about home affairs.
Tang Guoqiang showed an apologetic smile to Lei Xiang, called the prince, and asked the prince to entertain Lei Xiang and others.
Prince Tang Hao, Tang Dahai's father, is now over fifty years old, but Tang Hao's strength is still acceptable, although not high. But there are also star imperial levels, so they have skills to maintain their appearance. He looks to be in his early thirties.
Faced with the prince's respect, Lei Xiang did not dare to take it seriously. After all, this was Tang Dahai's father. Considering his seniority, he had to call him uncle.
After Tang Guoqiang gave a few more special instructions to the prince, he led everyone out of the palace gate.
Indeed, there are many things he needs to arrange next.
The moment Tang Guoqiang walked out of the palace gate, he heard a neat cry from outside: Long live the king!
This is the heartfelt cheers of hundreds of thousands of people in Lidu, and everyone is beaming with joy. Everyone cheered and their faces were red with excitement.
Tang Guoqiang was so excited that he burst into tears, but after all, he was the leader of a country, and he had been on the throne for decades. Incredibly rich experience. A series of orders were immediately issued.
Fu Taiyi reorganized the Royal Forest Army, confiscated the weapons of the Western Qin soldiers and rebels, and temporarily detained them - the Royal Forest Army had no choice but to obey the rebels' command before. People's minds had changed a long time ago, but now they found that the king not only did not doubt them, but also let the old marshal personally command them. Naturally, everyone was excited and their morale was high. The army of Western Qin lost its general and was overwhelmed by the momentum of the people. They didn't dare to resist at all, and were captured one by one. And those rebels. People are even more panic-stricken, and everyone is cautious, fearing that the king will be punished, so how can they dare to resist? !
After packing up the army, Tang Guoqiang sent people to post notices and announcements throughout the city to reassure the people.
Moreover, Tang Guoqiang publicly executed a group of ministers and generals who had betrayed him before, and announced that Tang Guocheng had usurped the throne and that his identity as the leader of the Dali Kingdom was false. He also deleted Tang Guocheng's name from the genealogy. And his whole family was executed.
This is the first time that Tang Guoqiang has been sentenced to death since he ascended the throne in his prime, and it is not a serious one. But no one raised any objection. After all, Tang Guocheng colluded with outsiders and conspired to usurp the throne. No matter where this crime was placed, this would be the end!
For those who rebelled when Tang Guoqiang took control of the situation, although Tang Guoqiang did not execute them all, he ransacked their homes, confiscated all their property, and then sent these traitors to serve in the frontier.
? Next, there is a series of orders to appease the people, restore business, maintain order, and clean up the traitors. Although these are tedious, the monarchs and ministers of the Dali Kingdom are all capable people, and there are few worms who can only flatter others but have no real abilities - and these worms are often not willing to die for a king - so basically everything before They rebelled, and now their homes have been confiscated.
The monarchs and ministers of Dali Kingdom are united, and there is basically no problem with small things like appeasing the people, restoring business, and maintaining order. But at this time, there is another problem before everyone:
How to deal with the 30,000 soldiers of the Western Qin Kingdom? !
Almost everyone feels very embarrassed about this issue.
??According to common sense, these soldiers from the Western Qin Kingdom invaded the capital of Dali Kingdom. Although they did not commit burning, killing, looting, and committed all kinds of evil, they did rob wealth.There are hundreds of cases of humiliating women. In addition to the disputes that just occurred between the two countries, and now that Tang Guoqiang has been restored, these soldiers of the Western Qin Kingdom basically have only one word of death.
However, although no one is willing to admit it, everyone has to admit that the whole country really does not dare to kill these soldiers.
Although the reason cited by many ministers was that it was unlucky to kill and surrender, everyone knew that these people were actually afraid of the Western Qin Kingdom. I am afraid that after killing these 30,000 people, the Western Qin Kingdom will immediately send an army of 300,000 people to completely capture the Dali Kingdom!
Of course, it cannot be said that the ministers who put forward these opinions are greedy for life and fear of death. After all, these people have just been imprisoned by the rebels along with Tang Guoqiang and Fu Taiyi. They have proven their loyalty. The reason why they oppose the killing of these Western Qin soldiers is It¡¯s really about considering the overall situation.
Tang Guoqiang is not a murderous person. He actually knows that these soldiers did not make any big mistakes. They were just obeying military orders. Compared with these prisoners, those rebels are the most hateful.
But if you don¡¯t kill it, will it be put back in vain? In that case, where would Dali's face be?
But if you kill
¡°Who doesn¡¯t know now that under Qin Sheng¡¯s manipulation, the twenty-seven vassal states in the entire continent, even excluding the Dali Kingdom, there are still twelve vassal states that have changed overnight.
Although from a nominal point of view, these twelve vassal states are all the same as before the Great Li Kingdom, with members of the royal family enthroning the throne, but everyone knows that these guys are just puppets on the stage. The actual controller of these twelve vassal states is Qin Sheng!
It can be said. Now that the power of the Western Qin State has controlled half of the continent, Tang Guoqiang is also worried that killing these 30,000 prisoners will arouse the anger of the Western Qin State, which will lead to an all-out war.
Therefore, Tang Guoqiang had no choice but to come to Lei Xiang with this problem.
kill!
After listening to Tang Guoqiang¡¯s story, Di Liang was the first to say this: If Da Liguo feels it¡¯s hard to take action, then I¡¯ll go and let that guy Qin Sheng come to me!
Everyone smiled bitterly. The Heavenly Killing Star is the Heavenly Killing Star.
Shui Yinglan said angrily: Xiao Liangzi, how can you talk like this! After all, that¡¯s 30,000 lives! If you are always so bloodthirsty, the teacher said, you will never be able to accept the fate of the Sky Killer. shut up!
Di Liang except Lei Xiang. The one who was most convinced was Shui Yinglan. After hearing her scolding, she immediately shrank her head and stopped talking.
Tang Guoqiang sighed: Miss Shui is right. After all, that is 30,000 lives. Tang is not a person who is easy to kill, but between countries, there is no justice, only positions. Hey, as the ancients said, a country cannot fight a just war. That's it. But to be honest, kill these 30,000 people. I'm really afraid that Western Qin will take revenge. Oh, it's not that Tang is timid. After all, once a war breaks out, it will be the people who suffer. Moreover, Sirius has appeared, and Dahai and Yulin have gone through all kinds of hardships on the grassland in order to buy time for us in the Central Plains. We can't have civil strife at this time, right? !
Everyone nodded, and Lie Yangping said: The leader of the Tang Dynasty has far-reaching thoughts. Indeed, we cannot have civil strife now. Otherwise, once Sirius invades, it will be the end of the Central Plains. Not only do we think this way, but Qin Sheng must also think so. Otherwise, he would not have imprisoned the Tang Lord and his party without harming their lives. After all, Qin Sheng wants to be the Supreme Star Emperor of the entire continent, but he doesn't want to be a Star Emperor with only an empty name, right?
Sister Lie is right! Lei Xiang finally spoke: It is best not to kill these 30,000 people.
do not kill? Should I put it back? Let Western Qin grow in power?
Lei Xiang smiled: Of course you can¡¯t let it go.
What to do?
Lei Xiang looked at Tang Guoqiang and said with a smile: Lord Tang has actually thought of it a long time ago. Besides killing and releasing, there is probably a third way.
Tang Guoqiang smiled bitterly: Although Tang had thought about finding a compromise, it was always unsatisfactory, so he asked Lei Shaoxia for advice.
Lei Xiang smiled: It's actually very simple. If these 30,000 people fall into our hands, they will naturally become our prisoners. Isn't it true that the Tang Dynasty leader has no way to deal with the prisoners?
Tang Guoqiang¡¯s eyes lit up: The young hero is saying
Mine slave! Lei Xiang was born in the Xue family and knew the slaves in the Xue family mine very well. He said with a smile: What is the difference between these prisoners and the slaves of other races? They are just prisoners. Since they are prisoners, they must be forgiven. After all, these are 30,000 strong labor forces!
Tang Guoqiang was very happy, but he remembered something again and hesitated: But, would this be too much? After all, only those alien races will be treated as slaves and sent to the mines.??. However, these 30,000 people are also from the Central Plains
Lei Xiang sighed in his heart and said: It doesn't matter, prisoners are prisoners, whether they are foreigners or other countries. The Lord of the Tang Dynasty also said before that there is no righteous war for the country. Since there is no more righteous war, what do we have to worry about?
After a pause, Lei Xiang continued: Of course, if Lord Tang feels that this is too much, we don¡¯t need to treat these prisoners like aliens. As far as I know, when we treat foreign captives, we don¡¯t treat them as human beings. However, when dealing with these prisoners, they can be allowed to do lighter work and do not have to enter the mines so dangerously. Of course, the wages can also be appropriately relaxed. In short, it is kind enough to let them live a much better life than those aliens, but far less than ordinary workers.
good idea! Tang Guoqiang touched his palm and said: Lei Shaoxia's method is the best method that Tang Mou heard today. I will let people use this to study a detailed countermeasure.
Then Tang Guoqiang called a minister and gave him some careful instructions. During this period, Lei Xiang also added some of his own thoughts and told him about his thoughts on reform through labor in his previous life. Then the minister left happily.
After solving the problem of the prisoners, everyone's conversation returned to the issue of Dali County that Tang Guoqiang mentioned before.
Tang Guoqiang sighed and said, "Young hero, you don't know something. Before, Tang and Brother Fu became Qin Sheng's prisoners." Then Qin Sheng had a special talk with our two brothers. During that conversation, Brother Fu and I discovered. Qin Sheng's ambitions are very big!
oh? How to say?
Qin Sheng said that in the current situation on the mainland, the vassal states are divided against each other, and they all rely on a supreme star emperor who only has fame but no military power to control the situation and prevent war between the countries. A system like this seems to him to be very backward. He believes that in order for people all over the world to truly live a good life. A unified political power must be established, with all power concentrated in the center, and the army transformed from local to central commander.
He cited the example of the Changsheng Dynasty that year, he said. In fact, the family model of the Changsheng Dynasty. In fact, it is more advanced than our current vassal state model. Because no matter what, the Changsheng Dynasty is also a unified central government, but we are still fighting on our own.
He said. In fact, it is completely useless for many countries on the mainland to have so many armies. For example, in the south of the mainland, the land is fertile, the people are rich, and the number of star beasts that harm the people has been reduced in recent years. Keeping so many troops is entirely to defend against other surrounding vassal countries. But if it is centralized power. These troops can be transferred to the north to guard against foreigners. And the entire southern part of the Central Plains will become the northern support rear area!
Once a war breaks out with a foreign race, the power of the entire Central Plains can be integrated into a whole to provide support to the north. Money and people are needed. Therefore, he proposed a system of counties and counties, saying that when he became the Supreme Star Emperor, he would use this as a means to divide the entire Central Plains into twenty-seven counties in the form of the current vassal states, which would be unified and managed by the central government. . Alas, his idea was really astonishing, and he also said some other fantastic things that amazed Brother Fu and me. It turns out that this person is indeed capable of swallowing up the world.
Lei Xiang became interested when he heard this and said: This person actually has such knowledge?
Tang Guoqiang sighed: To be honest, excluding the hostile stance of both parties, Marshal Fu and I admire his insight very much, but we also countered that the situation of a family like the Changsheng Dynasty may be good for centralization of power. But the area of ????the Central Plains is too large, and it is impossible for the central government to cover everything. This happened in the Changsheng Dynasty back then. The emperor was fatuous and officials everywhere only focused on amassing their own wealth, which led to widespread complaints among the people. Therefore, King Wu Mu later divided the Central Plains into twenty-seven vassal states. Each vassal state carried out its own affairs, and the Star Emperor oversaw and coordinated them. In this case, although the sparrow is small, it has all the five elements. Even if one or two kings are fatuous, it has nothing to do with their neighbors, and the people can go to a prosperous country on their own. As long as there are no wars between countries, the people will not suffer hardship. Therefore, in the past four thousand years, although each country has had some fatuous monarchs, in general, the people's lives have been good.
Lei Xiang nodded solemnly: Yes, what Tang Guozhu said makes sense. What did Qin Sheng say?
Tang Guoqiang smiled bitterly: He didn't say anything.
Didn¡¯t you say?
"Yes," Tang Guoqiang said with a wry smile: "After hearing Tang's argument, Qin Sheng was not angry, and just waved his hand to let us go down." It seemshow should I put it, he feels like
It doesn¡¯t matter! Fu Taiyi on the side said: His expression was completely indifferent, as if he didn't care about our opinions at all. Apart from thisIn addition, there is also some light ridicule, maybe he is laughing at our inability to understand his realm?
Lei Xiang frowned, this Qin Sheng was too unpredictable. The few times he had dealt with Qin Sheng before, this guy always acted stupid and dumbfounded, which was not his true face at all. However, when Lei Xiang and the others were trapped underground for several months, this stupid boy suddenly became the overlord of half of the countries in the mainland!
Lei Xiang admits that he cannot see through this person.
Shui Yinglan said: Lord Tang, did Qin Sheng tell you why he only imprisoned you but did not kill you?
This Fu Taiyi pondered for a moment, exchanged glances with Tang Guoqiang, and said hesitantly: This, maybe, is because of Lei Shaoxia.
because I? ! Lei Xiang was shocked and pointed at his nose.
Yes, Tang Guoqiang nodded and said: On that day, Lao Liu and the masters of the Western Qin State launched a coup. Brother Fu and I led the troops to resist and were captured, and then were detained in this hall. At that time, Qin Sheng said something very inexplicable
What words?
He saidTang Guoqiang imitated Qin Sheng's tone. He repeated: It's just that you don't know that there is a relationship between Lei Xiang and me. The relationship is extraordinary. Haha, you expected him to help you take revenge, but you were wrong, a big mistake!
Fu Taiyi added: Yes, that¡¯s what he said at the time. We were very surprised when we heard it, so we asked him, does he know Lei Shaoxia¡¯s life experience? Qin Sheng's expression suddenly changed, but he didn't say anything. He just sneered and let us go down.
Hearing Fu Taiyi's retelling, everyone was a little stupid, and Lei Xiang felt like he was struck by lightning: Marshal Fu, you. You meanhim. That Qin Sheng, does he know my life experience? !
Fu Taiyi and Tang Guoqiang looked at each other and nodded in unison.
??This is what we speculate. Because when Brother Fu said this speculation, Qin Sheng's expression changed, and it was obvious that he had been told what he was thinking.
Thishow is this possible? Lei Xiang sat down in shock, his mind buzzing with a myriad of thoughts.
It is completely impossible to say that Lei Xiang does not care about his identity in this life.
After all, he was reincarnated into this world. With my own body, I have my own new identity. but. What is the origin of his body? Who are his parents in this life?
Yes, although Lei Xiang's parents did not give Lei Xiang any care in this life, it was Mrs. Wang of the Xue family who raised Lei Xiang like a mother.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? With his body, hair and skin, thanks to his parents, Lei Xiang appeared in this world and had such a brand-new life, he owed a huge favor to his parents in this life!
He also wanted to know why, when he was just one year old, his parents abandoned him and left him as a baby at the door of Xue's house.
However, as Lei Xiang became stronger and stronger, when he accidentally thought about this problem, he felt that his hope of finding his biological parents in this life became increasingly slim.
Because as his strength becomes stronger and stronger, his fame becomes bigger and bigger, and more and more forces are known to him.
However, he didn¡¯t know that any family named Lei had this possibility.
¡°Could it be that I was just born in an ordinary family?
However, as his fame grew, many people knew Lei Xiang¡¯s story. At least around Qingcheng, everyone knew that Lei Xiang was adopted.
But the question is, if his parents¡¯ family is really nearby, why don¡¯t they come to him?
But if his parents¡¯ family is not near Qingcheng, where would they be? And why did such a small baby appear at the door of Xue's house?
This series of questions made Lei Xiang¡¯s head explode.
Qin Sheng!
How did Qin Sheng know his identity?
no!
I¡¯m going to find him!
right! Go and ask him!
Thinking of this, Lei Xiang stood up suddenly and rushed out of the door.
The people next to him saw that Lei Xiang's expression kept changing at first, and knew that he felt uncomfortable, but they didn't dare to disturb him. But now when they saw him suddenly rushing out the door, everyone was startled. Ah Qing and Lie Yangping quickly grabbed him.
Brother Lei, calm down!
Brother, what¡¯s wrong with you?
Shui Yinglan followed up, gently stretched out her finger and placed it between Lei Xiang's eyebrows.
Suddenly, there was a blast of iceThe soft star power was transmitted into Lei Xiang's mind. Lei Xiang became much clearer in an instant. He came back to his senses and smiled gratefully at Shui Yinglan. He felt an indescribable fatigue all over his body and sat down.
When Tang Guoqiang saw this, he quickly said: Lei Shaoxia, don¡¯t be anxious. This is just a guess made by Brother Fu and I. No one dares to say for sure what the specific situation is.
Lie Yangping also said: Yes, what's more, what Qin Sheng said may not mean what we thought. Besides, even if Qin Sheng claims that he knows your life experience, how credible can he be? Anyway, I won't believe their words.
Shui Yinglan also advised: Brother Lei, regarding your life experience, according to my little sister¡¯s opinion, maybe it would be best for us to go back to Xue¡¯s house in Qingcheng and ask Mrs. Xue. After all, it was Madam who took you in back then. Maybe there is some evidence that Madam has not paid attention to before? . . )
