The system forced me to be emperor

"Your Highness, this pavilion was jointly designed by the most outstanding builders and painters of the Ministry of Industry. This pavilion is more than three feet long, one and a half feet wide, and two feet and eight inches high. Facing south and north, it is as majestic as a palace. ...."

Song Yingxing briefly stated the design concept of Lingyun Pavilion, and then asked: "What do you think, Your Highness? I wonder if Your Majesty will be satisfied?"

"This pavilion is majestic, very good! Your Majesty is naturally satisfied. By the way, how long is the construction period?" Xiao Rui asked

Song Yingxing said: "Four months later, three months sooner!"

Xiao Rui nodded, and said: "I will present this picture to His Majesty, Mr. Song has worked hard!"

Song Yingxing responded, and then bowed his hands and retreated.

There are no outsiders in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Yan Xiaoxiao asked curiously: "Your Highness, what is the purpose of building this pavilion? There are many palaces in the palace, and many of them are free."

Xiao Rui smiled and said: "I should have guessed Father's intention, this is another move of his, and it is also made for me, but this Lingyun Pavilion is prepared for other people."

"Who is it?" Yan Xiaoxiao couldn't help asking.

"In Daxia, those eleven military lords who hold the military power!" Xiao Rui said.

Yan Xiaoxiao was startled.

Xiao Rui explained: "Your Majesty is going to give up his military power with a glass of wine. The eleven military lords are all old, and it is time to put down their soldiers and horses and hand them over to the young people. However, letting them give up their power suddenly is not a small blow to them. , Your Majesty also does not want to get a bad reputation for the best bows and bows. So this Lingyun Pavilion was built, and the portrait of the general was enshrined in the high pavilion, and he was named a hero of the Great Xia, respected by the world. This is an elegant name for the history. , is the greatest reward for a military marquis, and with this reputation, they willingly hand over their military leadership."

Only then did Yan Xiaoxiao understand, and couldn't help but praise: "This move is brilliant, the soldiers don't see the bloody blade, and the military marquis is obediently handing over the military power, Your Majesty is really amazing!"

Xiao Rui looked at the Lingyun Pavilion on the picture scroll, and couldn't help but read: "Please come to Lingyun Pavilion temporarily, if you are a scholar with thousands of households! In the future, Lingyun Pavilion will be the most dreamed place for civil servants and ministers. For me, it is the most ardent dream."

Afterwards, Xiao Rui gave the scroll to Emperor Xia for review.

Emperor Xia was very satisfied. After inquiring about the construction period, he immediately asked to start now, and shortened the time to two and a half months.

Emperor Xia didn't hide anything, and revealed the role of Lingyun Pavilion, which was exactly as Xiao Rui had guessed.This majestic pavilion will become a symbol of Emperor Xia's complete transfer of power to Xiao Rui.

The old military lords retreated behind the scenes to take care of themselves, and the next big summer will really be Xiao Rui's world.

This also made Xiao Rui couldn't help counting his reusable generals.

Han Xin, Chen Qingzhi, Guo Ziyi, Li Yuanfang, Li Cunxiao, Yang Youji, Yue Fei, Qi Jiguang, Gan Ning, nine military generals who are good at fighting and loyal, plus new rising stars, such as Ye Wendao, Tian Boguang, Zhang Lianchuan, Zhang Lian Ning, Zhang Yu and others can all be trained to become independent generals in the future.

So even if the old military lords retire, Xiao Rui, as the new emperor, can still control the world of Great Xia!

The next step is to wait quietly, watching the buds bloom and bear fruit, and the fruit is officially harvested!

Xiao Rui's ascension to the throne is just around the corner.

Chapter 617: Eleven imperial decrees issued together!

Before I knew it, it was the end of Yongli's 26th year.

Xiao Rui also enjoyed the pen-sealing ceremony only available to emperors, so he could relax leisurely and enjoy the joy of the holiday.

It was the Chinese New Year, and officials from all over the country sent congratulatory gifts to express their gratitude to His Majesty.But there are not many gifts that can arouse Xiao Rui's concern.

The first one was naturally sent by Zhang Liang, Xiao He and others. It is the promotion progress of Huangtian Group and Daxia Bank, and Xiao He has already sent his assistants to the old place of Qi State, which is now Anbei Province, to play the role of Huangtian Group and Daxia Bank. According to the value of the Tian Group, it followed the procedures of the Anxi Province and became the second grain-producing area of ​​the Great Xia Kingdom.

In addition, there is a more careful population survey. This is something that Zhang Liang has been trying to figure out since he became Jiedushi, that is, how many people are there in the Fourteen States of Anxi? Now the rough survey results have been released, almost three A population of 110 million!

The former Zhao State had a population of more than [-] million, so judging from the results of the census, the proportion of land occupied by Zhao State is directly proportional to the population. After all, Qin State occupied the sixteen counties of Zhao State.

For Great Xia, the larger the population, the more it represents productivity and strength, but this is only relative to Great Xia. For Qin, it is not a good thing that the more Zhao people rule, the better.Because it is not so easy for Qin State to settle the old land of Zhao State with a population of 4000 million.

In the congratulatory gift sent by Zhang Liang, he also went deep into the state of Qin to investigate the rectification of the old land of the state of Zhao by Ying Wang Qinzheng. It is indeed a good way to intermarry and give kindness and power, but national hatred is not so easy to solve. After all, Zhao State was destroyed by Qin State.

Of course, the Great Xia destroyed the Qi State, so the governance of the fourteen prefectures in Anbei Province was also difficult, and the old people of the Qi State were very resistant, which is why Ye Wendao was appointed as Jiedushi.

From Zhang Liang's letter, we can know that King Ying Qinzheng's rectification of Zhao's old land is not as good as it seems on the surface. It will take some time for Qin to settle the mess.

So this is also an opportunity for Daxia to continue to develop!

Great Xia is not afraid of Qin, but it is not the right time to go to war. Now is an excellent opportunity for development. It can get rid of Qin and fully enhance its national strength.If there is a war now, it is likely to disrupt Xiao Rui's plan.

This is a congratulatory gift from Zhang Liang.

The second gift naturally came from Anbei Province.

Ye Wendao was already the county king of the Qi State, and now as a Jiedu envoy to govern the old land of the Qi State, he was under great pressure. The aristocratic family and the gentry called him a traitor, but the refugees were not so hostile because they received relief from the Great Xia court.

That's why Ye Wendao's strategy was very clever. He wooed the low-level people and merchants, and aimed at the powerful. Anyway, now that the champion Hou has 70 troops stationed here, anyone who dares to rebel will directly ransack the house.It just happened to snatch the land from them and hand it over to the Huangtian Group, and distribute it to the soldiers and common people of Daxia who are willing to settle here.

Therefore, Ye Wendao has appeased most of the people and refugees, and can ensure that at least [-]% of the land will resume cultivation in the beginning of spring.

At the same time, Yue Fei deserves to be a famous anti-Yuan general. He passed on his military training experience against the Yuan army to Li Cunxiao and Yang Youji, so they are honing their skills in combat. The cavalry of the army is simply a big killer!The Yuan army already had tens of thousands of casualties, and was forced to continue to retreat by Yue Fei and Li Cunxiao. They would soon withdraw from the border defense line designated by Xiao Rui, and then they could use the terrain and rivers to build the city wall.

The third gift is from Wa country.

Ping Bohou has already taken half of the country of Wa, and at this speed, he can take the whole country of Wa for at most three months.

Although these three gifts were all news, they made Xiao Rui more happy than real objects. This New Year was very comfortable.

After the new year, the time has come to the 27th year of Yongli.

Emperor Xia has been emperor for 27 years, and he can be considered as the emperor with the second longest reign since the founding of Daxia. The first one is Emperor Xiawu, the fifth emperor of Daxia, who has been emperor for 28 years.

Emperor Xia had said before that he could not collide with his ancestors, so he wanted to stop at 27 years.

When the first month passed and entered February, there were still ten days before the Awakening of Insects solar term.

There is a poem that says: "With a little rain, all the flowers will be new, and it will start with a thunderstorm. The fields will be idle for a few days, and farming will start from then on."

Therefore, the advent of the Awakening of Insects heralds the beginning of spring plowing, and the cold winter will finally pass.

No country would go to war regardless of spring plowing. Plowing is the top priority of the country, not to mention the frequent disasters now. If the opportunity of spring plowing is wasted, the people will really be in dire straits.

Therefore, all countries have begun to prepare for spring plowing and planting.

The same is true for farmers in Daxia.

But at this moment, Emperor Xia, who hadn't asked about political affairs for a long time, suddenly issued eleven imperial edicts, calling eleven military marquises to return to Beijing to report on their duties.

He had already attacked four hundred miles south of Edo, and now he was suddenly called back to Beijing to report on his duties, which was beyond his expectations.But he had no choice but to return home and handed over the task of leading troops to fight to Qi Jiguang.

This move of Emperor Xia attracted the attention of many dignitaries, who all looked around to see what His Majesty wanted to do.

Naturally, there are smart people among the dignitaries, they have already guessed the reason, even the eleven military lords also guessed the reason, but they dare not return to Beijing, and no one dares to refute His Majesty's majesty.

In this way, the military lords who held the military power returned to Beijing one after another. On the eve of the Waking of Insects, only Chang Shenghou, Champion Hou, and Pingbo Hou who had traveled a long distance had not yet returned.

After Bai Huhou treasoned with the enemy, he had already been executed, so there were only eleven military princes left in Great Xia. These eleven had supported Emperor Xia from the earliest days, and helped him step by step from the most downcast prince to the supreme position. position, and fought with the Emperor Xia in the Southern and Northern Wars, witnessing the transformation of the barren and weak Great Xia into the current grand scene.
