After being turned into cannon fodder, I relied on involution to survive

The prince of Southern Xinjiang did not expect Yu Zizhen to act so neatly. Until he moved into the mansion that belonged to him, the prince of Southern Xinjiang, who was prepared to continue to be unpopular, still had a look of confusion on his face.

The envoys from Southern Xinjiang and his princess sister who had decided to return to Southern Xinjiang actually felt more complicated than the prince from Southern Xinjiang who was being treated with courtesy.

With such complicated emotions, they would hear the latest news about the marriage of the prince from southern Xinjiang every day when they opened their eyes.

According to the clerk of the post house who came to deliver the message to them, although those truly powerful figures and high-ranking nobles would not let their legitimate daughters and granddaughters participate in any grand gathering of princes in southern Xinjiang to choose their concubines, their families’ However, a few concubines and concubines came.

There are also those families that do not have capable people to support their families, and families with relatively low official ranks, all of them send their daughters and granddaughters who can afford them to the prince of southern Xinjiang to choose his concubine.

These girls are not only outstanding in appearance, but also have their own characteristics in terms of personality. It depends on which one the Prince of Southern Xinjiang likes: steady, gentle, lively, and charming.

In addition, the careful Honglu Temple Minister also sent a booklet about the family background of these girls to the Prince of Southern Xinjiang. The Prince of Southern Xinjiang's selection of concubines went really smoothly.

From the primary election, to the second round, to finalizing the candidate, and then finalizing the marriage in accordance with Chinese customs, it took less than two months to complete the process.

During this period, both the Honglu Temple and the Imperial Palace worked hard. The prince of Southern Xinjiang felt the long-lost respect, attention and care in a foreign country.

To put it bluntly, he finally lived like a human again!

This made most of his original anxiety dissipate. After sending away the Southern Xinjiang envoys and his princess sister who could no longer find a reason to stay, the Southern Xinjiang prince peacefully had a happy life with his newlywed wife. Oily little days.

As for the spying information and hidden clues that the Southern Xinjiang envoy told him before leaving, the Southern Xinjiang prince simply forgot about it.

Anyway, there is a high probability that he will never be able to return to Southern Xinjiang in this life, so why should he destroy the daily stability of the country he is currently in for Southern Xinjiang?

He would honestly go to the capital of China to receive the salary of the county king, enjoy the glory and wealth, and then have a few children with his wife to continue the bloodline. Isn't this kind of life delicious?
Taking a step back, even if something goes wrong, he can still go back one day. Then after he goes back, his good father, the King of Nanjiang, can he still treat the King of Nanjiang just because he helped plant a hidden line and inquired about intelligence? Will he inherit the position?
If not, then he might as well be a wealthy idler in the capital of China.

At least in Daqi, he doesn't have to worry about being jealous or framed by his brothers because of his father's attitude, nor does he have to worry about being settled by his descendants for what happened to his grandfather's family in the future when one of his brothers takes over.

The prince of Southern Xinjiang, who had already weighed the pros and cons, said that although he was still the prince of Southern Xinjiang, in fact, his heart had already completely belonged to the country of China.

Yu Zizhen was relieved that he could carry it so clearly, but he did not relax his real-time monitoring.

After all, people's hearts are never static. Who knows if he will suddenly miss Southern Xinjiang one day, change his mind, and start to contribute to Southern Xinjiang?
However, since this kind of surveillance is solely responsible for the Xiaonaiyin system, on the surface, the marriage proposal proposed by the three small foreign countries is now completely over.

There was no need to sacrifice the marriages of a few people in the country to seek temporary stability, and there was no need to open private treasury to raise food and grass for the emperor to go on a personal expedition. Yu Zizhen was still very satisfied with the result. In addition, the envoys of the Three Kingdoms came with a probing and provocative attitude, and then left in a dejected and extremely obedient manner. After this extremely contrasting behavior spread to Shu, Liaodong, and Baiyue, the people in power in the three places were actually there. On certain matters, she made great concessions to the envoys sent by Yu Zizhen, which surprised Yu Zizhen and her close ministers even more.

Thanks to the perseverance of the envoys sent by Yu Zizhen, the leaders of Shu, Liaodong and Baiyue finally fully implemented the plan after Yu Zizhen secretly gave birth to the emperor's eldest son, which would harm the interests of the powerful classes in the three places. Chinese law.

The land state-owned policies, the cancellation of death deeds, etc., which they had strongly opposed before, were gradually tolerated by them as China became increasingly powerful.

Of course, Yu Zizhen did not let their sacrifices be in vain.

The leaders of the three places who had the greatest profit, Yu Zizhen, all generously gave them the hereditary and irreplaceable title of county king.

Although according to Chinese law, these three county princes do not have fiefs, a title that can continue to benefit future generations is already very precious to them.

The same interests were harmed, and the close subordinates of the leaders of the three places, Yu Zizhen, also gave them a quota of favors.

In addition, Yu Zizhen also gave them the right to freely choose whether to settle in the capital, and additional places for their children to study in the Imperial College.

Of course, in contrast, these people must unconditionally accept Chinese rule and abide by Chinese laws.

Many people cannot understand the courtesy and preferential treatment that Yu Zizhen gave to the leaders of the three places and their close subordinates. In their view, Yu Zizhen was actually fully capable of conquering the three places by force, leveling them and then ruling them.

Instead of giving people a lot of benefits like she does now, she herself only mentioned something as trivial as "all people in Shu, Liaodong, and Baiyue must unconditionally accept Chinese rule and abide by Chinese laws." a condition.

It's hard for Yu Zizhen to tell them that her most difficult task is to make the world less dead. In order to achieve this goal, she is willing to sacrifice some small profits that have nothing to do with the overall situation.

Yu Zizhen himself felt that it would be difficult for those who were used to enjoying privileges to fulfill the conditions she proposed.

She estimated that nine out of ten of the leaders of the three places and their close subordinates were the same as those who thought she was too polite and preferential to them. They did not take her condition seriously at all, so they were like that. I happily agreed.

But the problem is, she, Yu Zizhen, is not the kind of soft persimmon who will let others fool her.

Can she allow others to turn a deaf ear to her requests, or listen to them but have the audacity to obey them in practice?
That must be impossible.

Since the leaders of the three places and their close subordinates had taken advantage of her, they would have to pay the price for the benefit in the future. (End of chapter)
