"Anyone who conspired with the former Qi rebels will be punished as treason by the direct descendants of the mastermind. Their nine clans will have their surnames demoted and expelled from the customs. They will not be allowed to return to the Central Plains without merit."
Prince Jiang Huaiqian remembered this and couldn't help but stop writing and asked: "Father, how can you return to the Central Plains?"
"There are countless foreign races outside the pass, including the Arong and Nuerhan nearby, and the many uneducated tribes far away. Isn't there enough for these people to show off their skills?"
"What if they conquer overseas and become kings on their own?"
Emperor Chengyuan smiled: "Wouldn't that be better? The Central Plains brothers occupy the foreign kingdoms. As long as they still recognize the Central Plains culture and the Central Plains nation, they will be self-reliant vassals. The more the merrier."
Prince Jiang Huaiqian felt that this was extremely harmful: "The wisdom of the people of the Central Plains is far beyond that of the barbarians. If it is true as my father thought, I am afraid that the future generations of Chu will have to worry about "how can we allow others to snore on the couch." "
Emperor Chengyuan felt that such worries were unnecessary: "As an emperor, you should be ambitious and far-reaching, rather than looking forward and backward.
Not to mention that if it can really stir up troubles, it will be difficult to end the foreign chaos within a hundred years.
Even when it came to the time when the descendants of the Central Plains were all around Da Chu and established a state, it was just a larger group of heroes standing side by side.
If there was still Da Chu at that time, the descendants of the Jiang family would naturally be forced to work hard to revive it;
If someone else has replaced you then, what are you worried about?
If there are really talented and strategic people to conquer the Central Plains and unify them again, the territory of our Central Plains nation will be expanded several times, why not? "
Prince Jiang Huaiqian was speechless when he heard this. He said that it was easy for his father to say it. He had been the emperor for decades, so it didn't matter. But he and his descendants had to face such changes. How could it be fair?
Emperor Chengyuan saw that he was silent and knew that he was not very satisfied. He couldn't help but be surprised: "When a dynasty is replaced, it must be because the monarch of that dynasty is incompetent and has no successors. If you think about it for thousands of generations, what should you worry about is not how to cultivate outstanding people. Heir, how to establish an excellent talent selection mechanism and how to avoid the causes of the previous dynasty's collapse?
Just like practicing martial arts, you can't choose the strength of your opponent, but you can practice hard and become knowledgeable so that you can defeat many with one. External factors cannot be grasped, internal factors are the key. If you don't think about strengthening yourself, but instead worry about what's going on outside, aren't you putting the cart before the horse? "
Prince Jiang Huaiqian was convinced, and he was right. He couldn't even influence his father's decision-making, let alone outside the Central Plains? !
Emperor Chengyuan saw that it was almost done and continued what he said before: "There are more than a hundred girls in the thirteenth family. They know justice and loyalty, have been involved in dangers and obstacles, and have achieved success, so he is allowed to keep his surname and stay in Beijing for future use. His mother is also included. When he stayed in Beijing, the imperial court returned him 20% of his ancestral property and property, and allowed him to select more than 20 loyal and loyal people from his relatives to assist his clan."
The prince was a little surprised when he heard this: "Father, do you want them to be the clan leaders?"
"I really want to see how these families will develop if the girl is allowed to take charge of them."
"Last night, the girls who were willing to help the court were not only from the thirteenth surname family. Do these girls need to be rewarded? Also, among the students of the Imperial College last night, there were many gentlemen and girls who helped stop the rebels. How should these people be rewarded?"
"Each person will be given a plaque of loyalty; each person will be given a Zhuangzi, a shop, and a thousand taels of silver for the property they copied. They will also be given two pieces of clothing."
"Where are Yu...Sister Yuan and the other three?"
"Hmph!" Hearing that his son wanted to do something good for his nephew, Emperor Chengyuan snorted and deliberately said nothing, only talking about Sheng Yuan, "Although I was aware of Qian Qi's actions, I never doubted Yang Pan Gui. If it weren't for Yuan My sister accidentally mentioned a few times that I might really be under the lamp in darkness... I have never mentioned this to anyone, why?"
"Father wants to protect her." Prince Jiang Huaiqian guessed it just after listening to the conversation between his father and Yang Pangui.
"The little guy's backing is very stable. There is no need to praise her too highly. You should know that going too far is too much. If you really remember this little guy's contribution, then... after the women's imperial examination, give her a bright future. !」
"I obey the order." Prince Jiang Huaiqian said with a smile, "But I will not open the back door for her. Everything depends on her ability!"
"As for your brother Yu... The title of Duke Anguo has been decided, so don't think about it. I'll look at him.
He has the courage to secure a city. I hope that when he grows up, Father Xiao, he has the ability to secure the city and help the people. In this way, you can keep the "Marquis of Ancheng" and reward him when he grows up. "
Prince Jiang Huaiqian quickly responded with a smile: "My son, I obey the order."
Well, the title that Concubine An has been thinking about for several years is finally settled!
It was up to the boy to strive for his own success, otherwise, with Duke An Guo's face in mind, his father might have told him not to give him a title without authorization.
"As for Brother Sheng of the Baoxiang Marquis Mansion... His father's merits have not been commended. Fortunately, he has such a son who has given him a chance. The two interests are combined into one. You can make him a loyal uncle."
This will have to wait until the prince succeeds to the throne.
Prince Jiang Huaiqian knew what was going on. After saying "I obey the order" again, he thought of his cousin.
"Isn't your mother already aware of Shuquan's title?" Emperor Chengyuan didn't care and smiled softly, "However, the title should not be granted lightly. You should understand this. If Shuquan is granted the title, the Qin family cannot Support."
"My son, I will obey the imperial edict!"
"The three prefectures of Sheng, Zheng and An have contributed to this turmoil, and the vassal kings who have returned to the capital have also given full support. Do you have any suggestions on how to reward them?" Emperor Chengyuan said he was tired, so he asked the prince to do it for him.
Prince Jiang Huaiqian thought this was his father's test, and thought carefully for a moment: "Sheng, Zheng, and An have always been loyal, and among them, all the Dukes of Sheng have been the most loyal. It would be better if my father personally drafted three imperial edicts to praise their loyalty, and then to Tie Their achievements will be inscribed on the scroll, and three more princes will be promoted to the Imperial Ancestral Temple. What do you think, Father?"
"Can."
"As for the vassal kings who have returned to the capital... If we allow them to double the number of guards in their palaces, they are allowed to recruit themselves, and their salaries will be borne by the court."
Upon hearing this, Emperor Chengyuan raised his eyes to look at the prince, suddenly smiled, nodded and said, "You can be generous and give them 10% of the shares of the Imperial Sea Trade."
"..." Prince Jiang Huaiqian felt panicked in pain, "Each mansion can only choose one caravan."
Emperor Chengyuan was speechless when he saw how stingy he was: "Prince, remember, you are the prince!"
"As far as my father is concerned, you have given such generous rewards to your sons and daughters, and the ones who benefited are your own grandchildren. It is just that the wealth does not flow to outsiders." The prince once again felt that his father did not know how to manage a household.
Seeing that he was getting stingier as he spoke, Emperor Chengyuan laughed angrily: "You are their uncle and uncle, so you should be generous to your nieces and nephews!"
"Father, as long as I obey the decree, can we not discuss this issue?" Prince Jiang Huaiqian was ready to write this edict with his eyes closed.
He opened a new page of notes and said, "Let's talk about how to support the loyal soldiers and give generous rewards to the Sixth Army!"
