Chapter 406: New Dynasty Daqi
The next day, Mrs. Zhao, who had answered all the questions, hurried back to the southwest.
They told Zhao Zongrong the process and results of the negotiation with fear, and as expected, they witnessed Zhao Zongrong's rage and swearing several times during the period.
For Xie Yuan who is about to become his lord, Zhao Zongrong had some scruples, and did not dare to blatantly curse, but for everyone under Xie Yuan's command, especially for Pei Yuanjiang, who was troubled and he followed the worthless Pei Yuanjiang, Zhao Zongrong didn't have such scruples. kind of scruples.
In front of all his confidants, he scolded Pei Yuanjiang from the inside out no less than ten times.
But after the scolding was over, he still felt aggrieved, and according to Xie Yuan's wishes, arrange the handover of Southwest government and military affairs as soon as possible.
During this period, Zhao Zongrong's sticky temperament became uncontrollable again. While he was reluctant to hand over the manpower sent by Xie Yuan, he kept making small moves in private, desperately trying to place him in the southwestern states and counties. those henchmen.
Pei Huaiyu and Zhou Mingzhe, who were in charge of taking over the southwest region, were more thoughtful than ten Zhao Zongrongs together, and behind them were Xie Yuan, the biggest backer.
How could Zhao Zongrong, who is in the past, be able to outplay Pei Huaiyu and Zhou Mingzhe, who are in full swing?
He made a lot of tricks, but unfortunately, at least nine and a half out of ten times were precisely destroyed by Pei Huaiyu and others.
The only remaining half of the success was because Pei Huaiyu and others deliberately turned a blind eye to let him help in order to appease his emotions.
Pei Huaiyu and the others pick and choose, and they only choose that innocuous position to release to him. At the same time, these people also arranged how the local officials and generals they arranged would kick off these nails after Zhao Zongrong entered Beijing.
The "tutorial" is so detailed that the newly appointed local officials and generals are embarrassed to say that this task is difficult_(:з」∠)_
Finally, the orderly handover of government affairs and military affairs in the Southwest region was completed as scheduled during the various battles of wits and courage between the two sides. Pei Huaiyu and Zhou Mingzhe escorted (monitored) Zhao Zongrong's family into Beijing with a very good attitude.
Because Zhao Zongrong was not at ease, on the way there was either one thing or the other. Pei Huaiyu and the others didn't enter the capital with much difficulty until the day before Xie Yuan's enthronement ceremony.
At this point, their task is completely completed, and then, Zhao Zongrong's family will be completely handed over to the staff who are responsible for receiving (monitoring) them.
After the two groups of people handed over at the gate of the city, Pei Huaiyu and Zhou Mingzhe had perfect smiles on their faces that belonged to the princes of the aristocratic family. They sent Zhao Zongrong's family away with enthusiasm without any fault, and they didn't look like Xie Jiajun who followed them Soldiers, it was clearly written on their faces, "I'm relieved! I'm finally out of your business!"
The next day, Xie Yuan officially ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, abolished the Great Zhou Dynasty, and established a new Dynasty Daqi.
After the enthronement ceremony was over, Xie Yuan conferred the titles on his old grandfather who had passed away for many years, his grandmother, parents, aunts, younger brothers and sisters who had entered the capital in a low-key manner, and then made his wife the empress, and the eldest son as the queen. Prince.
The Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager, and the Empress Dowager, that is, Xie Yuan's grandmother, father, and mother, did not enter the palace. They did not want to be locked in the palace gates, and they also did not want those guys who had ulterior motives to suppress Xie Yuan with filial piety. Running to them every day like this.
The three of them chose the former Prince Duan's Mansion as their residence, and they only happily did what they were interested in every day. Those guys with ulterior motives were rejected by them without exception.
Those members of the Xie clan who originally hoped to use their hands to suppress Xie Yuan, so that he had to entrust his own clan's children wantonly due to filial piety, were suddenly dumbfounded.
Speaking of which, in the process of Xie Yuan's pursuit of the world, it can be said that he never borrowed the strength of the Xie clan. It was not because the Xie clan was unwilling to lend him their strength, but because they placed their bets too late. Yuan Yuan no longer needed their efforts.
This led to the fact that, even if Xie Yuan became the emperor now, these Xie clan members who wanted to follow the chickens and dogs to ascend to heaven did not have the face to ask Xie Yuan for the title with confidence.
They originally thought that even if Xie Yuan didn't use them when he competed in the world, they were still members of the Xie clan connected by Xie Yuan's blood. Knighthood?
However, in fact, Xie Yuan really felt that they were not worthy of getting a title as big as a sesame seed from him.
Different from his close relatives who supported him openly and secretly and worried about him, the rest of the Xie family even made things difficult for Xie Yuan's close relatives when Xie Yuan started his army.
If it wasn't for his grandfather who drove him out of the house in a fit of anger in order to force him to "reform evil and return to the right" in the early years, and gave his grandmother and parents an excuse not to restrain him, he might have to worry about his family members in the most difficult time. Subject to the Xie clan.
Oh, when I was in trouble, you rushed to make trouble, and you couldn’t wait to get rid of me. Now that I’m prosperous, you lean over like nothing else, and ask me with your palms up. Why should I give it to me? ?
Thinking about it, Comrade Xie Yuan, who seemed generous but actually had clear grievances and grievances, directly crossed out the clan roster presented by the counselor with a swipe of his pen.
Thanks to his blessings, the new dynasty has a huge treasury so empty that there are not even a few mice, and finally there is no need to pay a huge salary to the Xie clan.
His move won the heart of Pei Huaiyu, the new Minister of the Household Department, but the Xie clan members who had been wiped out by him were digging doors and stealing holes, and started a journey of running around looking for people to intercede.
After hitting a wall with Xie Yuan's grandmother and parents, they found Li Jing and others who were highly valued by Xie Yuan.
However, Li Jing and the others were at their wits' end right now, and they didn't even have time to go back home to rest.
What are they busy with?
Appointment and dismissal of officials, distribution of titles, this is the second major event of the new dynasty Daqi besides the top priority of Xie Yuan's ascension to the throne.
Those members of the Xie clan who were secretly cursing Xie Yuan for being narrow-minded, petty and vengeful, and disregarding blood and family ties did not know that when treating his subordinates, Xie Yuan was as generous as a different person.
He first gave Pei Yuanjiang and Zhao Zongrong the title of hereditary prince, Pei Yuanjiang was named King of Liang, and Zhao Zongrong was named King of Shun.
Although the title titles subtly reflect Xie Yuan's different attitudes towards the two, their royal ranks and annual salaries, and even the mansions, fields, shops, gold and silver that Xie Yuan bestowed on them at the same time as the kings, are different from each other. What people get is almost the same.
That is to say, on the surface, Zhao Zongrong couldn't find any fault in Xie Yuan.
