I have a cornucopia

Chapter 328 Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty finally rested in peace.

With the regret of not killing them all, Yang Feng and others welcomed Her Majesty the Queen.

Of course, there is also the coffin of the late emperor.

This modern freezer used in a restaurant also has wooden boards on the outside, but the heat dissipation vents must of course be retained.

Like a real emperor's coffin, it was loaded on a specially made carriage, pulled by twelve horses. For stability and durability, the wheels were simply four car wheels. Behind it followed a series of guards, or power supply carriages, with solar panels erected like sails, and people on the carriages were responsible for adjusting the direction to face the sun. Then the wires of these solar panels were connected to the coffin to provide continuous power to it...

So it is impossible to take the Wuguan Road.

This device requires a wide road. Although it is not impossible to use it in mountainous areas, the shorter the better.

The Xiaohan Road is nothing but Mount Xiao. Even if the power lines are removed and the route is walked faster, it is enough to ensure that you can cross Mount Xiao before the freezer thaws. The rest are all proper roads, but the Wuguan Road is a continuous mountainous area.

As for when Yang Guanguang sent Li Zicheng here...

How could an old bandit like him be qualified to enjoy this treatment? They just put some spices in a coffin and marinated it before sending it to him.

As for these things, they will all be buried in the imperial mausoleum with Chongzhen in the future. His freezer is part of the coffin, and he will never be taken out of it like a frozen fish. This is his coffin. As for how future archaeological discoveries will be explained, this has nothing to do with Yang Feng. Besides, there are many things that he cannot explain in the archaeology of this era.

I have too many lice and they don't itch anymore.

Even if it is really discovered, it will just verify the theory of the time traveler, and the rest can support a large number of scientists, artists, and historians.

And judging from the scale, it is obviously a large-scale organized crossing, which can support philosophers, metaphysicians and even conspiracy theorists...

It's obvious that their modern world was tampered with by a time traveler! What should the original world look like, and what organization did it?
Thinking hard.

Of course, King Yang is in charge of killing and not burying, so he won’t consider these things.

In this way, accompanied by the cheers of the people, Her Majesty, wearing a leather cap and red clothes, finally arrived in her loyal Shaanxi with the majesty of an emperor, and was greeted by her subjects respectfully...

It should be considered loyal.

The people of Shaanxi could still accept the empress. Although Li Zicheng was dead, his son had succeeded to the throne of the King of Qin. In the past, Li Zicheng forced Chongzhen to give him land and fiefdom, which was still retained. Therefore, Guanzhong was still the fiefdom of the Qin vassal. It was just that according to the Ming Dynasty standards, the title was not given to the people. The soldiers and civilians on this land were still the subjects of Her Majesty the Empress. The court actually opposed giving the entire Guanzhong to the King of Qin. After all, this fiefdom was too large. Even though Yang Feng and Zhang Xianzhong did have large fiefdoms, they were still incomparable to the Qin vassal.

Zhang Xianzhong was only granted the Chengdu Prefecture, and Yang Feng's fiefdom was even smaller. It consisted of farms reclaimed by his refugees in southern Shandong and northern Jiangsu, just a few small villages, many of which were not even connected to each other.

They are controlled more by official positions.

But the Qin vassal directly took the entire Guanzhong as its fiefdom!

But in the end, Her Majesty the Queen insisted. After all, after her brother disappeared, this was her only brother.

This is my younger brother.

Her brother has not been found yet, and it is still uncertain whether he is dead or alive. He may have hidden his identity, or died in a ditch during the chaos, and finally disappeared. So Zhu Cijiong is the only brother of the Empress. As for the brothers born by her father in Xi'an, they are certainly not her relatives. These guys didn't even go to the capital, but stayed in Xi'an. The only ones in Nanjing are the Empress and Zhaoren.

This is also in line with Yang Feng’s current goals.

After all, the military camp system that Li Zicheng had established in his own fiefdom was very suitable for him to reform, and since it was a Qin vassal fiefdom, the imperial court would not collect land taxes in Guanzhong.

Head tax and industrial and commercial taxes must be collected.

But there is no land tax.

Therefore, in the past, the gentry would falsely register their lands in the name of the princes, which was also an important reason why the princes had so much land. But in fact, most of these lands were not his, they were just in name only. Now Li Cixiong's fiefdom in Guanzhong is large enough with a large population, especially with Li Zicheng's old subordinates. His identity is special. Although he is called Li Zicheng's son, in fact, everyone knows that he is actually Chongzhen's son, so he is actually equivalent to the deposed prince. This kind of identity is destined to live cautiously in the future. He has to do whatever Yang Feng wants him to do, and his sister will also have to be wary of him.

and so……

"Her Majesty's decree: Guanzhong has experienced years of famine and war, the people have been displaced, the land has become barren, and although they should pay rent to the King of Qin according to the old system, they are unable to pay. Therefore, for the rest of their lives, Her Majesty will pay rent to the King of Qin on behalf of the people of Guanzhong!"

King Yang looked like he was nine thousand years old as he stood beside the Queen, reading the imperial edict to his kneeling subjects.

The subjects were stunned.

But then someone reacted.

"Her Majesty is wise and holy. Long live Her Majesty!"

An old man shouted excitedly.

Then the soldiers and civilians quickly woke up and all knelt down and shouted "Long live the emperor".

Her Majesty the Queen nodded with a smile.

This method is the safest. After all, if the King of Qin has any ambitions in the future, he will need money. He can collect rent from his fiefdom and it is up to him how much he wants. But now it is up to the Empress how much to pay. She pays rent to the King of Qin on behalf of the people of Guanzhong. How much to pay each year depends on whether her brother is sensible. If he is not sensible, she will give less, and if he is sensible, she will give more. In short, he must not be allowed to use the money to cause trouble. He can even stop for one or two years on the pretext of temporary difficulties.

I'm your sister. What's the big deal if I use some of your money temporarily?
That's how it used to be.

The highest record is arrears of six or seven years.

If he was really Li Zicheng's son, it would be much simpler, after all, she could find an opportunity to kill him later, but he is actually her own brother, so Her Majesty the Queen must accept this hidden danger.

Therefore, by controlling his funds in this way, he is unable to develop secretly.

But it can maintain wealth and prosperity.

That'll be fine.

The land tax was paid by his sister, and he had no right to collect other taxes. Ultimately, all his income was under the supervision of the court, so he naturally had no ability to do anything else and could only be a vassal king like in the past. Otherwise, he would have to be cautious about his identity, after all, the people in Guanzhong still supported Li Zicheng, but now that Li Zicheng was dead, his son would naturally become the one supported by the people.

He also has a large number of generals and hundreds of thousands of troops. If he wants to cause trouble, it can easily lead to a rebellion that sweeps across most of the country.

In fact, it is almost inevitable.

Now he is just a teenager who knows nothing, and he has suffered a lot in recent years. He is already very satisfied with his current life, but as he gets older, he will eventually realize that he is the real and legitimate heir to the throne, and it was his sister who stole his throne. Then he will gradually develop resentment and start to work hard for his own world...

Of course, there’s nothing wrong with trying!
He can work as hard as he wants.

Just don't put it into action. If he does, he will die suddenly.

Her Majesty will also like her throne as she gets older, and she will become more and more intolerant of those who try to get their hands on her throne, even if they are her own brothers.

It will happen sooner or later.

Amid the cheers of the people, Her Majesty continued her journey to the west under the escort of the King of Qi and the King of Jin. She read out her imperial edicts along the way and won more cheers from the people. She continued like this all the way to Xi'an. The King of Qin, his wife, the concubine, etc., went to Lingkou to welcome her. As for the concubine, it was of course Lin Danhan's wife.

Moreover, Namu Zhong not only brought himself, but also a bunch of Mongolian chieftains. My Great Ming Shunyi King brought his governors, co-governors, and commanders to Xi'an to meet Her Majesty the Queen. His son came back with him. These Mongolian soldiers followed Li Zicheng southward before, and after a series of battles in the south, they had already cleared themselves out.

Or rather, scared.

After all, they suddenly discovered that their archery and horse riding were no longer useful.

Let alone against the elite Zhejiang militia, they had no hope even against those small fish. In this era when everyone was desperately trying to increase firepower projection and let cannons spread to even a county militia, their tactics had been eliminated by history. They followed Yuan Zongdi on the Jiangnan battlefield, but on the Gehu battlefield they couldn't even break through a battalion of militia. In front of field artillery, turtledove guns, super-long spears, and even mortar shells, the Mongolian cavalrymen were killed all over the ground.

They were even defeated by the militia cavalry. After all, the cavalry bows could not penetrate the plate armor, and their archery was also no match for the flintlock muskets.

After understanding the situation, they immediately became loyal dogs of Her Majesty the Queen.

Then ask Her Majesty the Queen for protection.

Considering that summer was approaching and they really couldn't hold on any longer, Her Majesty allowed a total of 500 Mongolian cavalrymen to remain to protect the emperor and then return to the grassland. However, because of their meritorious service in protecting the emperor, Her Majesty would grant them the construction of a large temple on the grassland.

King Shunyi and his subordinates immediately knelt down at the feet of the Queen and shouted "Long live the Queen".

There is also Namu Zhong’s aunt.

"Da Yu'er, the false Qing criminal, and Fu Lin, the guilty minister, are here to pay their respects to Your Majesty with her son!"

Sister Dayuer brought the already young Fulin to kowtow to Her Majesty the Queen.

"Get up! The rebellion of Jianzhou Guard was caused by your previous generation. Although you usurped the title of emperor and empress, you are just an orphan and a widow. You are only forced to follow me. I will pardon you and your son today and temporarily hand you over to the supervision of the Princess of Qin. I will choose another place for you later!"

Her Majesty the Queen said.

Sister Dayuer took Fulin to express her gratitude quickly.

Of course, she had known this for a long time, including the fact that she and her son would be sent to the grassland in the future.

She was still satisfied with this, after all, she was tired of that kind of life before.

The main reason is that she hasn't been very popular recently.

She was like a former top star, and now she wanted to find an honest man. Although returning to the grassland was to worship Buddha, it was also a kind of relief. As for her son's affair, it was not a big deal. She knew very well what the masters on the grassland were like.

After all, compared to the current state of our Qing Dynasty, they mother and son should be considered lucky. At least they did not die in the war. Wu Sangui killed more than 30,000 loyalists in the capital. It is said that he entered the palace many times and did not come out all night. It was no longer news that his generals snatched a princess in the street. Some princesses were regarded as traitors and their homes were confiscated and they were sent to the military camp to be killed.

It can be said that the capital city at this time was already like the Kaifeng city during the Jing Kang period.

And as their surrender was rejected, they will probably become even more indulgent. After all, they have no future and they can enjoy every day as long as they are happy.

The mother and son just retreated quietly.

Next, the Empress came to Xi'an, but the palace was not in the city of Xi'an, but in Mount Li. After all, there were hot springs in Mount Li, and the Prince of Qi who was protecting the Emperor also lived in Mount Li. The rest was the funeral of the late Emperor and Emperor Yongchang, which Yang Feng didn't need to worry about. The officials of the Ministry of Rites, including the officials of the Ministry of Rites in the Western Capital, were responsible for it. Prince Yang only had to protect the Empress. Whether to protect her in the hot spring or on the dragon bed was not for outsiders to know. Ajige and others were also rushed to Xi'an. In the end, at the funeral, they were tortured to death while watching the kneeling Empress Dowager Emperor of the Qing Dynasty...

Anling.

Her Majesty the Queen finally chose a tomb for her father.

I guess she just felt that it had been quite difficult for her father as he had been displaced all these years, and now he could finally rest in peace.

As for Chongzhen's temple name, it was Kangzong.

humor.

Although the Queen certainly didn't think much about it, and probably thought that this temple name was suitable for her father who had been displaced and died a violent death, the guy who suggested this temple name to her was definitely full of malice. In fact, not only this, but the several alternative temple names suggested to her by the ministers were all full of humor, such as Myeongjong, Hyejong, Sukjong, and the shameless temple name Seongjong.

They all made malicious accusations against the Emperor who had already been frozen into a lump of ice in the freezer.

Fortunately, Her Majesty the Queen finally chose Kangzong.

This is actually humorous though.

Gentleness and joy are called health. A good harvest is called good governance. Peace and comfort are called health. No worries from all directions. Peace and happiness are called health. Prosperity is called education.

His Majesty Kangzong can think carefully about his life in his Anling Mausoleum and see if there is any moment that matches this one, or if the gap is smaller.

Diligent in civil affairs?
Quite diligent.

But what is more frequent is the tax increase.

"Kangmiao can finally rest in peace!"

King Yang stood among a group of princes, looking at the imperial mausoleum in front of him with emotion.

Next to him were Prince of Jin Li Guo, Prince of Qin Li Cihong and others, and of course the original vassal kings such as Prince of Han, Prince of Qing, and Prince of Su, as well as the original Prince of Qin and Prince of Jin, the current Prince of Wei and Prince of Zhao, and the Prince of Fu and Prince of Lu who came with the emperor. Of course, Prince of Shu Zhang Xianzhong did not come, but his son would definitely come.

It’s not like he doesn’t have a biological son, he’s just a little younger and hasn’t been named the crown prince yet.

In fact, I just learned to walk.

He had a group of them before, but they were defeated once and killed.

The current one was born in Sichuan.

The original King of Shu had been transferred by this time, so he came with Zhang Xianzhong's son.

In short, a bunch of princes whose families were destroyed, together with the guys who caused their families to be destroyed, are remembering their former emperor...
