My diary of transcendence from the heavens

Chapter 106 104. In war, no one will die.
The vassal states of the Northern Wei Kingdom are very special. Since Taizu founded the country more than 200 years ago, a generation of vassal kings have been enfeoffed in various places.

Now over the past 200 years, these princes and kings and their descendants have also ruled in their respective fiefdoms for more than 200 years.

The vassal states enjoy political, economic, military and other rights, and their various customs and systems are completely different from the central court. As a result, the people in the fiefdom only know the vassal kings but not the court.

The Northern Wei Kingdom and other vassal states had completely different systems. Some vassal states even did not accept the imperial examination system of the imperial court and appointed officials by themselves.

Lawlessness and wanton behavior are completely words to describe the princes and kings, because there is no law that can punish them, not the law, not even the emperor.

Taking root in the Northern Wei Dynasty, they continued to suck blood, just like moths, and eventually became a local force that could not be lost, uniting powerful powers from all over the country to resist the central court.

Therefore, this war of the Eight Kings Rebellion is really important. It is a war that determines the ownership of the country, the country, and the country.

One side is the official court of the Northern Wei State, representing the central power of the court.

On one side are eight vassal kings, plus countless princes and officials, as well as local forces composed of powerful families.

This is a war between the central court and local forces, and both sides are in the same boat.

The battle between Huweiguan and Xiantian is of vital importance. Countless people, both inside and outside the court, as well as scholars and civilians, are paying attention to the outcome of this battle.

The ownership of the country was decided in this battle.

The outcome of this war has attracted the attention of the whole world.

When the news came that Zhao Xuanqi used the imperial court's 30 elite troops to defeat a million-strong coalition of princes and kings, and killed a total of [-] surrendered soldiers from all the princes and kingdoms, the world was in an uproar.

No one expected this solution.

Some people call Zhao Xuanqi an executioner, a man who commits all kinds of crimes but is even willing to kill 30 people who surrendered. This is so heartless and inhumane.

Some people also call Zhao Xuanqi a national scholar, who helped the court solve the feudal states once and for all. This war completely ended the bad governance of the vassal states for more than 200 years. The local power led by the vassal states was completely weakened. In the future, the imperial court will abolish the feudal state and never again. There will be vassal states that will continue the life of the Northern Wei Kingdom for at least a hundred years.

Anyway, this farce is over.

……

Chang'an City.

Prime Minister Zhou Quan was over 50 years old at this time. His old face was full of seriousness. He lowered his head and walked quickly into the palace with the latest intelligence from the front line.

The small yellow gate guards the gate, blocking Zhou Quan.

"Your Majesty, Prime Minister, do you have anything to report? No one is allowed to enter or leave the palace at will without your Majesty's order."

Zhou Quan dare not neglect.

Although Emperor Qinglong is young, Princess Xiaoyao...oh no, she is now Princess Xiaoyao.

As the eldest daughter of the late emperor, the imperial aunt is now also a person who cares about life. She has great prestige and amazing power. Outsiders cannot interfere with the situation in the palace.

Even if he is the prime minister, everything must be done according to the rules.

Zhou Quan said: "Please also report to Your Majesty and the Imperial Aunt that there are important battle reports from the front line!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Huangmen knew the importance of the matter and did not dare to neglect it at all. He quickly said: "Prime Minister, please wait for a moment. I will be back soon!"

After a while, the little yellow door came back, with a smile on his face: "Your Majesty and the imperial concubine will meet you in Qiming Hall..."

Zhou Quan lowered his head and headed towards Qiming Palace. Not long after, he successfully met Emperor Qinglong and Emperor Xiaoyao in this palace.

A curtain separates each other.Zhou Quan knelt on the ground and slowly raised his head. Through the thin veil of the curtain, he could vaguely see what was going on behind the curtain.

Emperor Qinglong was young, sitting on a high chair and saying nothing.

Aunt Xiaoyao was sitting on the chair next to her, taking care of the little emperor. She turned her head and asked, "Prime Minister Zhou, what's the battle report from the front line?"

The question was asked calmly, seemingly unconcerned, but if you listen carefully, you can still hear the worry and unnaturalness contained in the voice.

Zhou Quan fully understands that the battle of Huweiguan has attracted the attention of the world. This is a battle of Sheji, and no one can ignore it.

He replied: "Win!"

"Marshal Zhao successfully climbed over the snowy mountains, and finally, with the cooperation of Zhao Wuwei, defeated the coalition of princes and successfully won the war!"

Aunt Xiaoyao breathed a sigh of relief.

Really won!

He is really a man who can create miracles!
She immediately smiled and said: "It's good if you win. Why does Prime Minister Zhou look so worried?"

Zhou Quan took a deep breath: "There's another piece of bad news!"

Princess Xiaoyao smiled and said in a clear voice: "What bad news? Winning is the best news. Everything else is not important. We want to celebrate him!"

Zhou Quan's face was solemn: "Many people died."

Aunt Xiaoyao said calmly: "When it comes to fighting, there is no way for people not to die. Death is normal..."

Zhou Quan said word for word: "Ten million people died!"

Aunt Xiaoyao's expression changed drastically.

Zhou Quan raised his head and continued: "In the battle of Huweiguan, Marshal Zhao's formation killed more than 30 people, and there were 40 surrendered soldiers. They were all killed in a trap, and more than [-] people died in total!"

"There are only more than 200 soldiers who are too young and were sent back because they were too young..."

More than 40 people died!
Among them, 30 people were trapped and killed!

Aunt Xiaoyao's smile froze on her face and she stood up instantly. She was in a trance and couldn't imagine this number.

Won, but killed so many people!
Although they are all from vassal states, they are also living human lives!
Her breathing stopped, and she immediately asked, "What do you think, Prime Minister?"

Zhou Quan thought carefully and said: "No matter what, this is a great contribution to maintaining the imperial court and suppressing the rebellion. I think it must be rewarded!"

"Although all the princes and kings are dead, there are still countless bandits in the south. There are countless rebellious ministers and traitors in the south. The great powers are causing chaos. They abandoned the late emperor before and there is no King Qin. It is better to make Zhao Xuanqi the Lord of Wu'an and the land to the south. Go to the land immediately. , returned to Chang'an three years later..."

Princess Xiaoyao's eyes lit up.

The south belongs to the territory of the major princes and kings. Many officials are under the command of the princes and kings. Their hearts are with the princes. After the war is won, they must all be dealt with!
From now on, the imperial court will no longer enfeoff vassal states!
It can be said that this battle completely ended the imperial court's 200-year feudal system, which is a great achievement!

The most important thing is that so many people have died in the south, and there will definitely be a lot of resentment. The people will definitely be dissatisfied with the court. At the same time, the south lacks young and middle-aged labor force. If there are no upright officials to suppress it, it will be easy to cause chaos. Once there are powerful officials and rebellious officials and traitors, they will cause chaos. , can easily cause disaster.

It is absolutely possible to confer Zhao Xuanqi the title of Lord Wu'an as a reward, and in this name go to the south for three years to clean up the government, restore people's livelihood, and quell grievances!
Victory in war does not mean true victory. Only when the fruits of victory are consumed can it be considered a true victory.

The purpose of the imperial court this time was to send Zhao Xuanqi to the south to stabilize the fruits of victory, quell people's grievances, and improve people's livelihood. Once done well, the people in the south would no longer resent Zhao Xuanqi, achieving multiple results with one stone.

Princess Xiaoyao lowered her head and replied: "Then make Zhao Xuanqi the Lord of Wu'an, and a first-class marquis. He will be rewarded with 10 taels of gold and [-] taels of silver. All the rewards for the soldiers under his command will be based on merit, and he will be sent to lead the troops to the south to develop people's livelihood. , to eliminate the crime of killing this time and to benefit the people of the south..."
