When his legitimate son was born, Wang Jing looked overjoyed. He entered the room and looked at Da Qiao, who was sweating. He comforted her and came out when he saw that she looked tired.
At the same time, all the maids and wives in the palace also looked happy.
They are all members of the palace. With the heir appearing in the palace, they feel much more at ease.
"Your Majesty, the great scholars and the privy councilors all came to the palace to celebrate when they heard about the birth of the prince. At this time, they gathered in the main hall..."
A maid came to report.
Wang Dingding nodded and immediately came to the palace hall. At this time, Shen Yi, Bu Zhi, Fu Youde and others all looked a little excited. Their mentality was the same as that of the maids in the palace.
As ministers who follow the king to conquer the world, their wealth and power all belong to Wang Jing.
If something unexpected happens to Wang Jing and he has the crown prince, they can continue to maintain the foundation of the Huai Army with the crown prince as the center.
Of course, this kind of accident is impossible to happen.
Even if the Huai Army is really defeated one day, with Wang Jing's strength, there will definitely be no surprise.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty. Now that Your Majesty has a son, we are extremely happy and are here to congratulate you!"
Chen Yi had a smile on his face and immediately led everyone to bow down after seeing Wang Jing appear.
Wang Jing laughed loudly, "Everyone, please get up... When Gu Youlin'er is born, there will be a big banquet for the whole army. All the soldiers will be rewarded with two pieces of silk and ten pounds of meat! Officials at all levels will also have their own rewards!"
With the current strength of the Huai Army and the officials distributed in various places, if this reward standard is followed, the rewards handed out will not be a small amount.
However, with the current savings of the Huai Army.
What seems like a huge reward is actually just a drop in the bucket.
When Wang Jing divided the fields, he said he would be exempt from taxes for one year.
Now that the time for tax exemption has come, when the grain is harvested soon, the taxes collected alone will make the Huai army's granary full again.
Shen Yi and Bu Zhi also knew this. In addition, the birth of the prince was also a major event for the Huai army, so of course they would not object.
soon.
Wang Jing's order to reward the entire army and officials at all levels was spread.
Officials at all levels were very happy. The salary given to them by the Huai Army was considered to be generous, but in addition to supporting their family, they also had to pay a lot of money.
As long as you are a normal person, you will never dislike having too much money, so when Wang Jing issued a reward, all the officials were a little excited.
"The birth of the crown prince is such a great joy!"
"Yes, if the king has an heir, then the Huai army's foundation will be stable, and we can also enjoy our wealth!"
The news spread to the army.
The excitement of the generals and commanders was stronger than that of the officials. The more men fought and fought for their lives on the battlefield, the higher their recognition of King Huai.
What they fear most is that in the future King Huai will no longer exist and the family fortune they have worked so hard for will not be preserved.
Now this worry has finally been reduced by half.
Inside Sihong City.
Hundreds of thousands of people followed many sergeants and heard about this. Without any organization, a large number of people cheered and bowed in the direction of the palace...
Many Jinshi who had not yet gone to Jiangdu Province to take up their posts had different thoughts when they saw this scene.
"The king has won the hearts of the people like this. We have done nothing wrong by defecting to the king!"
After receiving official seals, robes, and various rewards, Zhang Dun and Cen Wenwen, who were the top scholars, gathered together and saw the cheers of the people in the city, and they were a little emotional.
Zhang Dun was tough by nature, arrogant, and always disobedient. After staying in Sihong for such a long time, he had some friendship with Cen Wenwen.
Other scholars, including Yang Zhen and Hu Zongxian, had only a weak friendship with him.
When he was about to leave Sihong to take up his post, seeing this scene really made him feel that he had chosen the right person.
Actually.
In addition to himself, Zhang Dun also has a large number of clan members, many of whom are talented and famous generals. If he is willing, he can be reused by the major princes in the south of the Yangtze River.
Even if you go to join the Jinling Ming Army, you can still enter the center and take charge of power.
But Zhang Dun not only considered himself, but also considered the future of his people. The monarchs of the Southern Song Dynasty were all mediocre, and because of Zhao Gou, he felt aggrieved at the thought of defecting to the Song Dynasty.
He defected to the Ming army, and felt that the reputation of the Ming army, especially Zhu Yuanzhang, was not very good, so after hearing Wang Jing's reputation for being generous to others, he took the initiative to go north to take part in the imperial examination.
He went north just to explore the way first. After settling in Jiangdu Province, Zhang's people will slowly go north...
When the whole family decided to defect to the Huai Army.
After hearing that the Huai army had an heir and personally feeling the prestige of King Huai among the people, Zhang Dun was completely relieved.
"Your Majesty promotes virtuous government, attaches great importance to people's livelihood, treats others with generosity, and measures rewards and punishments. It is not surprising that he has such prestige. In the future, we will also stabilize the county and organize the civil affairs for Your Majesty. From now on, Your Majesty will achieve great things. We, the superiors, can make contributions and the subordinates can do well. If you want to protect your family, your trip to this world is not worth it!"
Cen Wenwen smiled lightly.
It's not just the two of them.
Among the thousands of scholars who participated in the imperial examination this time, those who were awarded the title of Scholar, Juren, or Jinshi had stronger attachment to the Huai Army and Wang Jing.
Even the scholars who did not pass the examination received some rewards and had a great impression of King Huai.
They agreed with each other that when they returned home, they would study poems and books, and come to take the imperial examination when the Huai Army held the imperial examination again.
…
When the officials, soldiers and civilians of the Huai Army were immersed in joy, considerable chaos occurred in various areas of the Chinese world.
For example, the Qin Dynasty, the Han Dynasty, and the Shu Han Dynasty in Yizhou quickly took over power after the arrival of Qin Shihuang, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and Liu Bei.
The prestige of Qin Shihuang in the Qin State was even greater than that of King Zhaoxiang and King Huiwen. Even if Bai Qi and Zhang Yi, famous ministers and generals during the reign of King Huiwen and King Zhaoxiang, came, they would only choose to serve under the First Emperor. Serve under his command.
The First Emperor was a man of great talent and strategy, and he was tolerant of people. Even Wang Jian and his son, who helped him destroy the six kingdoms, were able to die well. Bai Qi, who was also one of the four famous generals of the Warring States Period, would definitely be filled with emotion.
As for the big man.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had two great gods, Wei Qing and Huo Qubing, as his wings. Even Liu Bang, the great ancestor who established the Han Dynasty, could not seize power from him.
More importantly, before the arrival of Liu Che and Liu Bang, the person in charge of the power of the Han Dynasty was Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty Liu Fuling. Liu Fulin is Liu Che's youngest son, and the father-son relationship is profound. Huo Guang is Huo Qubing's younger brother...
In this kind of relationship, as long as Liu Bang didn't want the Han Dynasty to fall apart, he could only grit his teeth and let Liu Che take over.
As for the Shu Han in Yizhou... it can be said to be calm.
When Liu Bei arrived, he naturally took over the power. Fazheng, Jiang Wei, and the five tiger generals who were about to arrive were all loyal to Liu Bei.
There are almost no traitors in the entire Shu Han. The centripetal force is extremely strong.
These three forces, as well as the Ming army in Jinling in the south of the Yangtze River, and the Tang Dynasty in Bingzhou, there was no chaos in the transfer of power, but other than them, there was some chaos.
