Emperor Guanghe took back their military power, but also gave them a way to continue to maintain the prosperity of their family by relying on military merit.

The aristocratic class has no shortage of educational resources. It is much easier than ordinary soldiers to cultivate military talents, accumulate military merits, and obtain promotions.

Several minor princes quickly knelt down to thank him.

Several other princes who did not surrender their military power, but expressed their intention to surrender, were also somewhat ready to move.

But since they had no decision-making power at home, they could only suppress their anxiety and planned to write home as soon as they returned to Sifangguan.

Emperor Guanghe truly achieved both benevolence and power. The gifts of titles and houses were all illusory, just because of the good name. However, the road to military promotion was real. As long as the younger generations in the family were promising, it was not impossible to regain military power.

Dongfang Yu lowered his eyebrows and narrowed his eyes. He couldn't help but think that three years ago, when he came to Beijing to accompany the Chunsou Emperor under the imperial edict of the old emperor Xing, the new emperor at that time was just a humble hostage in the Southern Dynasty. He was protected by the eldest princess. So as not to fall into the trap of being trampled upon by others.

He was so high-spirited at that time.

However, things are unpredictable, and it only takes three years. When we meet again, the man in front of me has unified the north and the south, becoming the common master of all things in the world, and he has become this man's subordinate, and he does not even have the courage to raise his head and look directly at Long Yan. .

Ji Ruxuan curled her lips and said, "It's been three years since we've been together. Prince Dongfang has come back well!"

Dongfang Yu was cautious and replied: "Thanks to your majesty for your great blessing, I have always been well."

Ji Ruxuan stepped down from the high platform, walked to the hall, and stood in front of Dongfang Yu: "I still remember how I played polo with Prince Dongfang at the Flower Appreciation Festival."

Dongfang Yu was silent for a moment, then lowered his head: "Your Majesty's posture is as graceful as a swimming dragon. I have been amazed by it for a long time, and it is still fresh in my memory."

Ji Ruxuan exposed him unceremoniously: "It must be a disgraceful appearance."

Dongfang Yu felt apprehensive and did not dare to answer.

He had mixed feelings in his heart, but later he learned that after Ji Ruxuan won the polo match, the eldest princess gave him the jade pendant she carried with her.

This is why Ji Ruxuan worked so hard.

To this day, when Ji Ruxuan brings up the old things again, it is probably not to reminisce with him. He and Ji Ruxuan disliked each other back then, and there was nothing to reminisce about.

Thinking of the ridiculous things Ji Ruxuan did in order to curry favor with the eldest princess, I am afraid that he was already using his body as a proton to covet the eldest princess who was so powerful at that time.

"Oh, by the way," Ji Ruxuan said softly, "After the enthronement ceremony, the Ministry of Rites will step up preparations for the ceremony for me and the eldest princess to be crowned queens. Since you have come all the way, you will stay in the capital first."

Dongfang Yu felt suffocated in his heart, and the dense pain in his heart was like acupuncture. This feeling was like when he learned that Jiang Lingrong had ascended the throne, he felt that there was something fishy in it. He was worried about the safety of the eldest princess. He wanted to go to Beijing, but was brutally beaten by his father. He was given a slap in the face and locked up in the ancestral hall for a whole month, until Luo Jing decided that the situation was decided and he was released.

At that time, he still wanted to go to Beijing.

But I have lost my courage.

Dongfang Yu walked out of the Meridian Gate in embarrassment. It was only then that he thought about what His Majesty had just said. Oh, by the way, let him stay in Luojing first to participate in the ceremony of becoming the queen.

In fact, the point is not to seal the queen's gift, but to stay in Luojing, but he reversed the order and blurred the point.

He clutched his chest, blood overflowing from the corner of his mouth.

The princes all wanted to test the new emperor, but the new emperor was obviously not a generous person. The new emperor wanted to keep him in the capital, apparently to participate in the ceremony of conferring the title of queen, but in fact he was a hostage. Whenever the Marquis of Donghai does not want to abandon his son, he will choose to give up military power and surrender to the new emperor.

If the father is unwilling to give up military power, then the court can justifiably send troops to the East China Sea in the name of rebellion.

Du Qi saw that the prince's face was not good, so he quickly stepped forward to help him: "Your Majesty, but... is that person giving you a hard time?"

Dongfang Yu shook his head: "Your Majesty just asked me to stay in the capital to participate in the ceremony for him and Princess He to be crowned queen. Don't make random assumptions."

Du Qi's breath was stagnant and his face turned pale.

"I admit defeat," Dongfang Yu smiled calmly, "He was willing to risk the world's disapproval for the sake of the eldest princess and make the princess of the subjugated country his queen, but I don't even have the courage to step out of Dengzhou, so I am willing to wish them a hundred years of happiness. combine."

I will try my best to persuade my father to surrender Dajiang.

Du Qi opened his mouth and wanted to say that the prince had done a lot for the eldest princess.

When there was a flood in Hangzhou, the prince personally contacted the business gentry in Dengzhou and collected a large amount of supplies and sent them to Hangzhou. He also tried his best to persuade the local business gentry not to drive up prices, so as to help the princess quell the disaster and epidemic. Being able to calm things down so quickly is a credit to the prince.

Later, when the South Vietnamese riots and Tibet invaded, the prince knew that the Qi family's army was in difficulty, so he secretly contacted righteous merchants from various places to collect donations and help secretly.

As long as the prince can help, he will always spare no effort to help.

Dongfang Yu changed the subject: "Your Majesty wants to kill the chicken to scare the monkeys, so he first went to Dengzhou for surgery. If my father does not cooperate with the new emperor, he may become a traitor and a traitor."

Three days later, Emperor Guanghe ascended the throne in the Taiji Hall, officially declaring the unification of the north and the south. The country name was still "Dajian", the reign name was changed to "Guangxuan", and the ancestral temple was built.

As soon as the era name came out, it was Sima Zhao's intention and everyone knew it.

The worst thing was that the ministers of civil and military affairs in Anjing who accompanied His Majesty on his expedition were opposed to the naming of the country as "Dajian" when His Majesty ascended the throne in Anjing, because the word "Jiang" conflicted with the royal family of the Southern Dynasties, but His Majesty went his own way. There is nothing they can do.

Who would have known that the [Jiang] your Majesty ordered was the eldest princess’s [ginger], and the new year name [Guanghe] was also the eldest princess’s [light], and [harmony] was also the harmony of [harmony], and now he doesn’t even bother to cover it up. He directly took the names of himself and the eldest princess and changed their reign name to "Guangxuan".

Okay, let's just say "Guangxuan". Both words are auspicious, so there's nothing wrong with putting them together. But why is it "Guangxuan" in front, "Xuan" in the back, instead of "Xuanguang", "Xuan" in front, and "Light" in the back?

Your Majesty is the Nine-Five Supreme Being. Isn’t it a bit inappropriate to put his name at the back?

But His Majesty insisted that Xuan Guang was too ugly and refused to change it.

The strict country name and era name made him play around, and there was a sour smell of love.

I bother!

The new emperor ascended the throne and granted amnesty to the world. Emperor Guangxuan abolished various miscellaneous taxes that had been levied during the reign of Emperor Xiao. Not only that, he ordered the Ministry of Household Affairs to re-measure the land, and each household was divided into fields according to the head. The head tax was exempted, and the land was divided into acres. Once the news spread about paying taxes, everyone in the government and the public was shocked.

He also reformed the tax system, organized Encore, and opened official schools...

In short, it is to reorganize the national policies previously issued in Anjing.

At the same time, he did not forget that he ordered the Ministry of Rites to prepare for the conferment of honors on the queen, but was met with fierce opposition from Minister An Jing.

At the same time, it also received full support from Luo Jing officials headed by Shi Shangshu.
