The entire country is not as good as the city of Chang'an, not to mention the extremely vast and shocking Datang they saw along the way?
Therefore, at this time, Ju Zhisheng couldn't help but have an idea, where did his father Ju Wentai get the confidence to compete with Datang? And you still think you can win the Tang Dynasty stably?
Is it because I have never seen the power of Datang?
Ju Zhisheng fell into deep thought.
While he was meditating, a hearty laughter suddenly came from the distance, "Hahaha, I have met Prince Ju Zhisheng." There was a hint of ridicule in the rough voice, but Ju Zhisheng naturally had no dissatisfaction.
This is the Tang Dynasty, not Gaochang, and he is no longer the prince of Gaochang. He is now called the guest of the Tang Dynasty at best, and the prisoner of the Tang Dynasty at worst.
Ju Zhisheng looked over and saw a fat middle-aged man in his thirties or forties. Judging from the way he was dressed, it was obvious that he was not bad in all aspects, at least he was considered a noble.
But Ju Zhisheng was very sure that he did not know the other party.
"Ju Zhisheng, the fallen prince of Gaochang, and the nobles of Gaochang received the order." Before Ju Zhisheng could salute and ask, the visitor suddenly took out an imperial edict from behind him.
"I will accept the order." Ju Zhisheng and many nobles immediately knelt down in a dark atmosphere. Speaking of which, there were quite a few of them, totaling nearly 1,500 people.
Even so, they only brought their own relatives and some personal housekeepers and maids, but the number was very small.
Most of the servants were dismissed on the spot and became citizens of the Tang Dynasty.
"My disciples: Ju Zhisheng, the criminal prince of Gaochang, and various nobles from Gaochang have come to the Tang Dynasty. According to the crimes committed by Gaochang, you should have been sentenced to death by execution. However, considering your past in Gaochang, Ju Wentai has been very positive towards me, the Tang Dynasty, and has a positive attitude. Sincere, although he was instigated by traitors later, he repeated it and committed villainous behavior."
"But you, as ministers, have not been loyal to the king, but the courtesy of the king and his ministers will not be abolished. Therefore, I will pardon you for the death penalty, and now I will grant you the title of Prince Ju Zhisheng and Prince Ju Zhizhan of Gaochang as the founding county son, and they cannot be hereditary." The nobles are men of the founding county and cannot be hereditary, as a courtesy to the emperor and envoys."
"From now on, you are the common people of the Tang Dynasty, and you are not allowed to leave Gyeonggi Province without permission. In addition, I hope you will live a good life and refrain from doing evil, otherwise I will definitely kill you without mercy."
Behind it were the time and the words related to the execution of the sect. After reading it, the visitor smiled and said: "County Ju Zhisheng, please accept the order."
"My lord, thank you." Ju Zhisheng kowtowed to everyone.
To be honest, although Ju Zhisheng thought about the various consequences after coming to Chang'an, the current results... made him feel happy and sad. What he was happy about was that the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty was far more generous than he thought and did not care about them. All the mistakes of the Ju family.
Sadly, as soon as they arrived in Chang'an, the imperial edict had already arrived, which meant that the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty didn't even bother to see him and just dismissed him.
Moreover, the meaning of this imperial edict is very clear. He will live a good life in Chang'an in the future, and no one will cause trouble to him, but if he still has other ideas.
Even if it is not the final result, it will be a sure death.
After receiving the imperial edict, Ju Zhisheng bowed to the visitor and then asked: "Thank you so much for coming to announce the edict. I don't know what to call you."
"Haha, the county magistrate is very polite. I am Jiang Quhu." The visitor said with a smile.
As soon as the words "Jiang Quhu" came out of his mouth, everyone present was speechless. They thought it was a minister from the Tang Dynasty, or some important officials, but... it was this person who had a bad reputation in the Western Regions. Remove the ginger.
But...thinking about it now, his reputation in the Western Region is bad? So what do they think? A lost dog?
"It turns out it's King Jiang Quhu. I've met King Jiang Quhu." Ju Zhisheng bowed again.
"Eh?~~~~~" Jiang Quhu sighed with a somewhat displeased expression, and then looked at him and said, "How do you speak? I am the Marquis of the Founding County of the Tang Dynasty, from the third rank. You can call me Marquis. Master, you can also call me by my name."
Jiang Quhu's words left Ju Zhisheng and others completely speechless. Is this... such a good person? They know that the title of Tang Dynasty is not that easy to obtain, and the title of third grade is already very high.
"I've met Mr. Jiang." Ju Zhisheng is not so stupid that he doesn't even have any knowledge. Of course, he can't call him by his name at this time, even though he only has a title and no specific official position.
"You're welcome, Mr. Ju, it's like this. I came here today. Firstly, I read out the imperial edict, and secondly, I just completed the instructions given by His Highness King Qin." Jiang Quhu said calmly.
"Thank you, Your Highness. Thank you Lord Jiang. When I first came to Chang'an, I really didn't know how to take this first step." Ju Zhisheng said.
"Let's go. The first step is to take you to the Central Bank. I will collect your money now. Datang promises that your respective families' wealth, estates, land, etc. will be purchased at market prices, so you have brought General Li Daozong with you. The signature and seal, right?" Jiang Quhu asked.
"Yes." Ju Zhisheng and others were immediately shocked. Could it be that Datang really wanted to fulfill the other party's promise? This was too unexpected. They originally thought that the other party was just lying to them. After they came to Chang'an, they had nothing to do if the other party refused to admit their lies.
People have to bow their heads under the eaves.
"Come with me, take your things with you, and we will take over your house first. You are unkind, but His Highness, who represents His Majesty, cannot be unjust. His Highness has prepared a courtyard for all of you. Of course, this courtyard needs You buy it at the market price, and His Highness will give you a 10% discount."
"If you don't want it, that's fine. His Highness allows you to borrow it for ten days. After ten days, you can go out and buy other things by yourself. Then tell me in advance and His Highness will send someone to take it back." Jiang Quhu said calmly. .
"Thank you, Your Highness." Ju Zhisheng and others didn't talk nonsense. No matter what the situation was in the courtyard, whether the King of Qin wanted to buy low and sell high, or blackmail them, they could only continue.
Entering Chang'an City, Ju Zhisheng and others were almost dazzled by the wide roads and the bustling Chang'an City, which made people who had never been here not know where to look.
Jiang Quhu, who noticed their state from the corner of his eye, couldn't help but mutter disdainfully in his heart, "country bumpkin!"
You also mocked me, haha, look at each of you, you are not even as good as the people of the Tang Dynasty. You are just amusing yourself in that small country in the Western Regions. How do you know how big the world is? It's like a frog in the well!
