The rewards in Purple Mountain were completely over. Chen Yuan awarded all the meritorious ministers according to their merits and demerits, including two national masters, one grand master, and four kings with different surnames.
Many princes, marquises, uncles, national teachers, chief ministers, and Zhuguo have all received rewards. It can be said that everyone is very happy. All people who are alive have received rewards.
Even similar to Zhang Xuan, Ye Chenbai and others also have their own rewards. In addition, those former Jin court officials who have surrendered have basically been properly arranged.
However, due to limited time, the rewards of most of them will not appear on the big seal of Purple Mountain.
In addition to those meritorious ministers, Chen Yuan even granted amnesty to the world and exempted the thirteen states of the Central Plains from taxes for ten years. At the last moment, the atmosphere reached its peak!
It caused countless people to go crazy.
This is not just tax exemption, but also the most stringent tax!
Throughout the dynasties, even after the founding of the country, taxes were basically exempted from taxes.
This time, the immunity lasts for ten years, which is unprecedented and may not be seen in the future. It also makes Dayan's national destiny rise like a raging fire cooking oil.
It is foreseeable that when this news spreads throughout the world, it will cause great turmoil.
Even if the people worship him as a saint, it is not an exaggeration.
Although the national finances will be reduced by a large amount, in recent years, the resources gained by the aristocratic family members from the wars in the north and south, the plundering of the grassland western regions, Japan, and many Jianghu forces in the Central Plains are enough to cover these losses.
Had it not been for such a large surplus, Chen Yuan would not have been exempted from taxes for ten years.
These are all obtained from the expansion of territory.
Northern Barbarians, Western Regions, and Japan are all good places.
Their wealth accumulated for thousands of years was wiped out, and their selfless dedication is worthy of being remembered by all the people of the Central Plains. As for whether the people in these places will suffer hardship...
What does this have to do with him?
He is the emperor of the Central Plains human race, not the emperor of the entire human world.
After ten years, giving them some favors will be enough to eliminate all dissatisfaction, and even arouse their greater awe for Chen Yuan.
The reason why Chen Yuan did this was not only because he cared about the hardships suffered by the people of the Central Plains due to war in recent years, but also because he wanted to gather the hearts and minds of the entire Central Plains people.
Only when the Human Emperor's luck is gathered in the future can he become stronger.
The reason why it is ten years is also because the Immortal Realm will come in nine years.
Chen Yuan's position is not only his own, but also the position of the entire Central Plains human race, which can mobilize all the power of the people to a greater extent.
This... is his purpose!
...
The founding ceremony of the People's Republic of China on July 16th, the year of the Great Yan Shengwu, as expected, set off a huge wave in the Central Plains and even the entire human world.
Countless people rushed to tell each other, promoting Chen Yuan's benevolent policy, tax exemption for ten years, and he can be called a contemporary saint.
Most of the people's minds are very simple. They just want to live a good life and survive. The previous government did not give them this opportunity, but now, Dayan has given it to them.
They naturally support it.
Many places have built shrines to Chen Yuan, the founding emperor of the Yan Dynasty, and worshiped him every day, as if he was regarded as a peerless saint who appeared once every thousand years.
This kind of behavior undoubtedly made Dayan's national destiny soar like a rocket. Although it will fall back later, such national destiny is definitely unprecedented.
As for whether anyone will come later, no one knows.
Chen Yuan's prestige has reached a point where it is impossible to rise, and the name Shengwu Great Emperor has gradually begun to spread throughout the world, becoming more and more catchy.
Because Chen Yuan is now the emperor, anyone who dares to call him by his first name is doing a disservice.
Compared with the tax issue that ordinary people are concerned about, those martial artists are concerned about the huge reward.
Emperor Wu Lu Chengfeng also formally walked into the stage for the first time. Only then did they realize that Emperor Wu, who was in the same era as Chu Taizu thousands of years ago, was not dead.
Not only did he not die, he has now become Dayan’s national master!
It's terrifying!
In addition, there is also the Holy Buddha Ksitigarbha of Lingshan, two great earthly immortals who take his wings, several immortals of the Sixth Realm who have surrendered, and countless real and true kings of the Transformation Yang Realm who have returned to the imperial court.
At this moment, Dayan was invincible.
Even in terms of prosperity, it surpassed the founding of Da Chu a thousand years ago. After all, the original Da Chu only had the support of a few immortal sects and had a stable position.
Dayan, on the other hand, has brought under its banner all the immortal sects in the world. Those so-called immortal sects have now become the state religion of Dayan, and those immortal sects that are on the top of the heavenly list have become their masters.
They have also become affiliated with Dayan.
At this time, no one mentioned the term "court eagle dog" anymore, because if you look at it carefully, the top forces in the world are all court eagle dogs.
If anyone dares to show the slightest dissatisfaction, he will face disaster.
At the beginning of the founding of the dynasty, it was the most powerful moment!
Many people predict that Chen Yuan, the great emperor, will become a being that surpasses Chu Taizu and reaches the level of the human Martial Emperor, and will even ascend to the Immortal Realm one day in the future.
And as long as a powerful dynasty can conquer all parties, with its current strength, it can be passed down for thousands of years.
In other words, if Shengwu is immortal, Great Yan will not be destroyed.
All of them will always be shrouded in the shadow of the Shengwu Emperor. Some people are excited about it, thinking that this is an unprecedented prosperous age for the human race and the most glorious moment.
Some people are frustrated by this, thinking that from now on, the so-called Jianghu will fall under the feet of Emperor Shengwu and prostrate themselves as vassals.
But whether they think about it or not, they all know that they can't change this. In that case, why not embrace this trend with a better attitude?
...
Shengwu year, July 17th.
On the Star Observation Tower, Chen Yuan, who was dressed in a black dragon robe, stood with his hands behind his hands, staring ahead, as deep as the starry sky, as if it contained everything and contained the entire world.
In front of him, the fate of the country of Yan was like a black sea, covering the sky above the entire Shenjing City. Unless you were at a certain level, you could not see this scene at all.
This is a national destiny that far exceeds that of the Jin Dynasty. It was Chen Yuan's hard work step by step and improving his own people's support step by step that was able to gather such a huge force at the founding of the country.
He can even feel that the fate of the country is shrouded in the Thirteen States of the Central Plains. It is consistent with him and is endless. He can reach any place in the Thirteen States in an instant.
Of course, the premise is that you must also have extremely powerful power.
If you don't become an emperor or sit on the throne, you won't be able to appreciate this.
"Your Majesty, Wang Ping will bring you here."
A young warrior wearing golden armor bowed and saluted behind Chen Yuan. He was a protector of the Shushan Holy Land and was now one of the guards around Chen Yuan.
After the golden-armored warrior, there was Wang Ping in a green shirt. He looked at the figure in front of him with curiosity. He looked familiar, but in fact he was so strange.
It seemed that they had already distanced themselves from each other when Brother Yuan left Ping'an County and entered Nanling Mansion.
Chen Yuan raised his hand slightly, and the Jinjiawei bowed and retreated. Only Chen Yuan and Wang Ping were left in the entire Star Observation Tower.
"Ping'an County Lieutenant Wang Ping, see your Majesty!"
Wang Ping bowed.
"Do you still want to be so polite in front of me?"
Chen Yuan said calmly.
"Hehe, after all, there is a difference between king and minister." Wang Ping scratched his head honestly and said a little embarrassedly.
"You could have accepted the title." As Chen Yuan's childhood friend, his early helper, not to mention an earl, was not an exaggeration even if he was a marquis without real power.
Unfortunately, Wang Ping declined.
Then he sent him to the palace.
"Your Majesty, we know how much we weigh. I can't bear the reward. It's better to give it to those meritorious ministers and waste it on me." Wang Ping's smart thing is that he knows how much he weighs.
Except for the slight friendship he had in Ping'an County, after Chen Yuan left Ping'an County, he did not help Chen Yuan with anything except cleaning the house.
It's not that I'm unwilling, I just don't have the ability.
All he can do is to cause less trouble to Chen Yuan.
It's a pity that when Dayan was founded, he was still introduced to the capital. It was the first time in his life that he was so far away from Ping'an County. He was very uncomfortable. When he learned about the title given to him by Chen Yuan, he became even more uncomfortable.
"Zhang Xuan can bear it, but you can't?"
"I...."
"It's better to call Brother Yuan more affectionate."
"Brother Yuan, you know very well that my qualifications and strength are incomparable to Master Zhang. The upper limit in this life is the Ning Gang realm, and Tong Xuan is impossible.
Staying in Ping'an County can be of some use, but coming to the capital to be an idle uncle is really unbearable. Besides, following His Majesty...Brother Yuan, you can conquer the country. There are so many meritorious ministers, and the upper limit is the earl. I'm the only one... Haha, it's really not appropriate. "
Wang Ping said hesitantly.
The one he was close to was Brother Yuan who was in Ping'an County back then. As his status and power increased, Wang Ping now faced Chen Yuan, and he couldn't help but feel great pressure.
Even though he instinctively didn't want to do this, he couldn't suppress his heart.
"Do you really think so?"
Chen Yuan said.
"Of course, we don't dare to lie to anyone, Brother Yuan, you."
"If you stay in the capital, even if you have a weak foundation, you will have a better chance to enter the martial arts of the upper three realms."
"Brother Yuan, I know that the cultivation of a warrior does not rely solely on resources, but also on one's character. I am only suitable to be a county captain, but I really...can't do it."
It's not that Wang Ping doesn't know what to do, it's just that he is a little scared.
If you fail to break through, your life span will be shortened, or you may even die.
His name is Wang Ping, and he just wants to live his life in peace.
"That's all, then you should go back to Ping'an County."
Chen Yuan waved his hand.
"Brother Yuan, don't worry. I will definitely keep the house in Ping'an County well. If you feel free one day, don't forget to come back and take a look..." Wang Ping chuckled.
It seemed like he was back when Chen Yuan left Ping'an County.
"I'll go back."
Chen Yuan looked forward and said softly.
"Then... I will resign."
"Um."
....
"What's wrong?"
Su Ziyue, who was dressed in a royal phoenix robe, slowly came to Chen Yuan, watched him staring into the distance, and asked curiously.
"It's nothing, just a little sentimental."
"Because of Wang Ping?"
"Have you met him?"
"No, I just took a look from a distance. What happened to him?"
"I will accept my resignation, but I will return to peace."
"Haha, he is a smart man." Su Ziyue smiled.
"clever?"
"Yes, Wang Ping's cultivation ability is not outstanding. Even if he is transferred to the capital, with your attitude towards cultivation, you will not miss this person all the time, maybe even because of the reward given to him.
You no longer think of him, but now that Wang Ping has resigned and returned to Ping'an County, don't you think of this person occasionally? "
"You, you are thinking too much. I know best what kind of temper Wang Ping is. I am not deliberately refusing, but I really want to return to Ping'an County to spend the rest of my life."
"Why don't I mean this? What I mean is that Wang Ping may have been close to Chen Yuan, the Ping'an County government official at the time, rather than Chen Yuan, the current Shengwu Emperor.
When you think of him, you become Chen Yuan, the yamen servant. "
"Okay, let's not talk anymore. Why are you here?" Chen Yuan shook his head. Besides, he was a bit too affectionate, especially with a man. He was really not used to it.
"Your Majesty, why don't you take a guess?"
Su Ziyue blinked and said softly.
"Is there trouble in the harem?"
"These sisters are not into trouble, what kind of trouble can they cause? You, you have read too much in the story, and you really think there is some kind of palace fight in my hands, right?"
Su Ziyue rolled her eyes at Chen Yuan.
With her methods, the other sisters together are no match for her. At most, Pingyang can give her a fight, but Pingyang is not stupid at all.
The key to being able to become a unique imperial concubine as a junior is that the other sisters have no objections, which is enough to prove that she also has some means.
"Then just say it, don't be so pretentious."
"Isn't this the founding of the country? Well...a few sisters said that tonight...we can all fight against you, the Holy Martial Emperor." Su Ziyue chuckled.
"all come?"
Chen Yuan raised his eyebrows.
He really hasn't tried a big fight yet.
or....
Ridiculous?
"What, you, the Holy Martial Emperor, are afraid?"
"Afraid? I don't know how to write the word fear!"
"so...."
"Elbow, return to the palace!"
...
The specific operation cannot be detailed. In short, Chen Yuan single-handedly suppressed Su Ziyue and other women, knelt at his feet, and begged for mercy from Emperor Shengwu.
....
Dayan Shengwu year, July 21st.
It had been five days since the founding ceremony of the People's Republic of China. These days were enough for the world to digest the news, and Chen Yuan also indulged himself for a few days.
At the same time, the new imperial court was quickly integrated within a few days.
After all, everyone had been prepared before, but now they are just adapting, and everyone is excited to face this rising dynasty.
This is a prosperous time, and they are also participants.
Chen Yuan divided the four major kings with different surnames into four parts of the town, and built another grand pass in Lanzhou, called Xiguan Pass. Pingxi King Chen Huaiyi led 30,000 elite troops to garrison here.
The task is to train the thirty-six countries and let them change their thinking. The days when Lingshan was the sky of the Western Region are gone forever.
The current sky is Dayan.
As for the military power in the Central Plains, Chen Yuan divided it into several parts. Under his orders, he was still the de facto commander-in-chief of the three armies, but some affairs were handed over to other people.
In addition to the military, there are also Jinyiwei. As the Jinyiwei who took in the former Jin Dynasty Patrol Division, their strength is even more terrifying than before, monitoring the entire world.
Jiang He, the Commander-in-Chief of Jinyiwei, was one of the few powerful elders in the court. One word could decide the lives and deaths of thousands of people. This was Chen Yuan's trust and reliance on him.
Apart from these two parts, the rest is the civil service system.
He still implemented the policy of separation of powers, but the civil servants were still too weak due to their strength. Therefore, Chen Yuan asked people to open the Imperial College so that the civil servants could also practice cultivation.
As for when they can grow up, it all depends on them.
After all, the opportunity has been given to them.
As for Chen Yuan's uncle Wu Daozi, he declined Chen Yuan's reward like Wang Ping and quietly returned to Chenjia Village in Shuzhou to continue cultivating his character.
Chen Yuan did not stop him and could not stop him.
And when everything was on track, it was the first court meeting of the Yan Dynasty.
Inside the Jinluan Hall.
Chen Yuan entered from the side door and walked step by step to the dragon chair under the watchful eyes of all the civil and military officials. He waved his dragon robe and slowly sat down. He...completed the goal he had originally set.
】
He reached the highest step by step. Now, he is the highest.
"Long live my emperor! Long live!"
"Long live my emperor! Long live!"
"Long live my emperor! Long live!"
Headed by civil and military officials, all officials bowed and saluted.
"Everyone is safe."
The mighty thunder resounded throughout the heaven and earth, echoing in the Jinluan Palace. It seemed as if there was an invisible force lifting everyone up, standing together, and continued to say in unison:
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"What do you have to say, gentlemen?"
Chen Yuan looked down at the officials below.
"Your Majesty, I have this report!" Jiang He, the Commander-in-Chief of the Jinyi Guards, took a step forward and bowed.
"Play."
"The King of Zhennan reported to me that the demon clan in southern Xinjiang frequently raids the border and treats our Central Plains people as blood food. I boldly ask Your Majesty to send troops to go south to defeat the demons and create eternal peace for our Central Plains human race!"
Although the demon clan has run away, it does not affect them in the slightest in counting their previous sins.
"I agree, the demon race should be destroyed and the human race should be prosperous!"
"I agree, for thousands of years, the demon clan has been a great danger to our human race. Now that the power of our Great Yan has swept across the world, we should take advantage of this opportunity to completely eliminate this hidden danger."
"I agree, your majesty is the king of eternity, and you should destroy the demon clan to achieve full merit."
"I second the proposal..."
One civil servant after another, one after another military general, they constantly seconded their opinions and supported the march south to defeat the monsters, because this was a long-established national policy, but now it is just a formality.
No one would be foolish enough to object.
Because the imperial court has no shortage of strong men and foundations, and can easily destroy the demon clan, whoever dares to stop it will be overturned by the rolling trend!
Chen Yuan stood up, waved his dragon robe, looked at the united officials of the court, and said in a deep voice:
"The thousand-year blood feud has come to an end. I am determined to lead a personal expedition and send my troops south to wipe out the monster clan in the southern border in one fell swoop and bring peace to our Central Plains human race for eternity!"
"Long live your Majesty!"
"Long live your Majesty..."
