King Huan committed suicide, and the palace of King Huan was occupied by the Qin army, declaring the demise of the state of Huan.
Next, the soldiers of Qin Army began to clean the palace and clean up the mess on the ground. At the same time, Xiao Yuan also called Xu Rong and ordered him to lead the army to wipe out the royal family members of King Huan.
Now that Huan State has been destroyed by Qin State, if these royal families are left behind, they will inevitably unite in rebellion. This is beyond doubt.
Cut off the roots and eliminate future troubles.
A king cannot be kind to a woman. At some point, he must have ruthless tactics.
However, Xiao Yuan did what he promised to King Huan. He dismissed all the insignificant beauties in the harem as common people and gave them some money so that they could return to their hometowns.
After an afternoon of cleaning, the Huan Palace looked brand new again. At this time, as the Qin army fully occupied Huandu, all official offices and the residences of various ministers had naturally been knocked on by the Qin soldiers.
Prime Minister's Mansion.
At this time, there was a lot of crying here.
The old housekeeper and all the servants were kneeling outside the hall.
In the Prime Minister's Mansion, a large number of Qin troops had already rushed in.
Not long after, an elite spy quickly walked up to Lin Chu and whispered: "Kill yourself."
"Are you sure?" Lin Chu asked worriedly.
"OK." The spy returned seriously.
Hearing this, Lin Chu couldn't help but take a deep breath. He didn't expect that Huan Xiang Qiu Rong had chosen to die with his country before his side came.
And he came here not to arrest and execute Qiu Rong, but to invite him to visit Huan Palace on Xiao Yuan's orders. Recommended reading TV//
This news quickly reached Xiao Yuan.
In the study room of Prince Huan Palace, after listening to Lin Chu's report, he frowned slightly and couldn't help but ask, "Suicide?"
"Yes." Lin Chu replied respectfully: "According to inquiries from the prime minister's servants, after our army entered Huandu, Qiu Rong committed suicide by hanging from a beam. I have also inspected his body."
Hearing this, Xiao Yuan couldn't help but sigh, then waved his hand and said: "You go down first."
"Yes." Lin Chu bowed and retreated.
After he left, Xiao Yuan also glanced at Shangguan Wenruo and Jia You who were standing below, and said: "Qiu Rong, although he is not a talented person, he can show his integrity and integrity, and he is really a role model for other literati like you."
The two men quickly lowered their bodies.
Xiao Yuan sighed again and said regretfully: "Give him a good burial and posthumously confer the title of Marquis Zhongwen."
"yes."
After saying this, he unfolded another scroll of bamboo slips and said casually while reading: "Just now, I have read a lot of Huan Guo's archives. Some of them have been read by King Huan, some of them he ignored, and some of them were ignored by local governors. From these official documents, we can roughly see a problem, that is, the current people's livelihood politics in Huan State are very bad."
After hearing this, Shangguan Wenruo immediately received: "Since the invasion of the ghost tribe, Huan's policies have become more and more harsh and tend to be exploitative. After the other countries attacked Qin, they even levied excessive amounts of money to fill the treasury and military resources, while putting the people in dire straits. , the people of Li have no overnight food.”
"As a result, it triggered riots among people in many places. Even now, some of the original refugees still gather and become bandits."
"Coupled with the war, the political situation is unstable, people's hearts are turbulent, and there are many bandits in Huan, and they are all small groups. If the king wants to govern Huan, the first thing he has to do is to ensure that the people have land to farm and a place to live, so that the people's livelihood can be stable. ."
After he finished speaking, Xiao Yuan said: "It seems easy for us to talk about it here, but it is so difficult to actually achieve it."
Jia You said: "The people of Huandi have been unable to make a living under the harsh government. I suggest that the king should not impose any heavy tax on Huandi in the next two years. They should recuperate and recuperate, exempt from miscellaneous taxes, and devote themselves first to Restore the livelihood of the people here.”
"Once people's lives improve, the people will be rich, the country will be strong, and the people will be self-reliant."
"Well, what Mr. Jia said can be considered as Huandi's policy. While implementing the rule of Qin, some government decrees that benefit the people will be strengthened to make it more convenient for the people. The government will support them in reclaiming land, collecting grain, and trading..." Xiao Yuan agreed.
After saying that, he glanced at the two of them and continued: "However, in order to properly manage Huan Di and restore Huan Di quickly, we need a capable and important minister to take charge of Huanzhou. Do you have any suggestions for this?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Shangguan Wenruo didn't even think about it and said directly: "In terms of political governance, there is no one who is famous in the world except Prime Minister Liu. If Prime Minister Liu is here, the people's livelihood will be inevitable if they manage the land of Huan." Abundance.”
Jia You also followed up and said: "I agree, the Prime Minister has the talent to stabilize the country. Not to mention the Huan Kingdom's heritage, even if it is a mess, I believe the Prime Minister can quickly turn the situation around."
Liu Yuzhi, a genius in internal affairs, was even known as a famous prime minister. If he were transferred to take charge of Huanzhou affairs, the effect could be imagined.
But after Xiao Yuan thought about it, he shook his head slightly and said helplessly: "I also want to work hard for the prime minister, but it's not possible. Liu Yuzhi probably can't leave. His prime minister's house has countless official duties every day. How can he get it?" Liao Huandi."
He's right, it's called being unable to do anything at the same time.
Shangguan Wenruo and Jia You cannot stay here for a long time.
Xiao Yuan felt a slight headache: "Let's consider this matter later."
"Then, may I ask your Majesty, what are your plans next?" Jia You asked tentatively.
Xiao Yuan thought for a while and said: "First recover the counties in Huandi, impose Qin rule, and quell the banditry."
Jia You said: "Now that King Huan's court has been destroyed, it won't take long for the news to spread to all counties. In addition to Lianzhou, Guangyuan, Anyang, Zhenyang, and Huayang that our army has recovered, there are four more counties in Huandi." ."
"General Su Yi should be able to recover Liaoyang quickly. In other words, there are still three counties left."
"For the governors of these three places, I think that the king does not need to send troops to conquer them. Instead, he can first send the king's order to ask them to return to the capital to report their duties. If they come back, it means they are willing to submit. If they refuse to accept the order, it will not be too late to send troops again. "
"I agree that a peaceful solution is the best strategy. What's more, King Huan has lost his people's support early, and the governors of the three prefectures also had the intention of waiting and watching before." Shangguan Wenruo said.
"Yes." Xiao Yuan nodded and accepted their opinions, "I will draft a royal edict to order the governors of the three regions to return to the capital. At the same time, send a letter to the country and send officials to the Ministry of Personnel."
The Huan Kingdom court is no longer there, so there is no need to set up some ministerial positions anymore. Even if Xiao Yuan wants to appoint Huandi nobles, it will definitely not improve the political system. Some important local official positions still require close ministers.
For example, the Huanzhou Order, the highest chief executive of Huanzhou, the real frontier official, is so important.
What Xiao Yuan has to do now is to win over a group of Huan Kingdom nobles, not to kill them, not to treat them badly, to stabilize the political situation first, and to completely consolidate Huan territory before talking about anything else.
