The fifth year of Chengping.
Xianyang City.
Ying Yuan was handling daily government affairs as usual.
Suddenly.
Prime Minister Cai Jing hurried into the Xuanzheng Hall with a memorial in his hand.
Seeing this, Ying Yuan put down the pen in his hand, frowned and asked: "What happened?"
He knew Cai Jing. As the prime minister, he had always been as steady as a rock.
Unless something big happens, I will never act like this.
The New Year has just passed, what big thing could happen?
Could it be that the four kings couldn't stand the loneliness and rebelled?
Thinking of this, Ying Yuan began to get a little excited.
Hearing this, Cai Jing instantly regained his composure and bowed hastily, saying, "Your Majesty, a great victory in Yizhou!
General Huo Guang successfully recaptured Izhou on the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month, and the enemy general Toyotomi Hideyoshi died in the chaos.
All the Japanese pirates were buried alive. Now, General Huo is dealing with various matters after the recapture of Yizhou."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ying Yuan not only did not feel disappointed, but became even more excited.
He suddenly stood up, quickly snatched the memorial from Cai Jing's hand, and began to read it carefully. Suddenly, he slammed the table and laughed:
"Good! Good! Good! Pass the order, all the soldiers who participated in this battle will be rewarded generously!
When they return triumphantly from Japan, I will reward them accordingly!"
Recovering Yizhou and driving away the Japanese pirates is a matter of national honor and disgrace, so he would naturally be happy.
The Qin Dynasty was destroyed, but this nation and this land remain the same. There will be no change.
Therefore, he wanted the Qin Dynasty to perish, and did not want the nation to decline.
Now that the Japanese pirates have been driven away, from a national perspective, this is a great thing and is naturally worth celebrating.
Cai Jing continued to bow and said, "Your Majesty, the recovery of Yizhou is a cause for great joy for our Great Qin.
However, I, your humble servant, have another thing to be happy about. Together with the recovery of Yizhou, it is a double blessing.”
Upon hearing this, Ying Yuan couldn't wait to ask, "Is there any other news that can compare to the recovery of Yizhou?"
Cai Jing said bluntly, "Just now, I have sorted out the memorials sent in from all over the country. Official schools have been built in the most important places in all prefectures and cities."
What he meant was that every provincial capital and economically developed areas had already built official schools.
As for other places, it is only a matter of time before some towns will drive the trend.
In other words, Ying Yuan has taken a big step towards achieving his goal, which is indeed a good thing.
"Double happiness, very good! Send out the order, a three-day celebration in Xianyang City!"
Ying Yuan opened his mouth wide, and the imperial court lost at least hundreds of thousands of taels of silver.
However, this time, Cai Jing did not stop it. He believed that the money should be spent.
During the Chinese New Year, His Majesty the Emperor did not celebrate with wine and meat in the Zhaixing Tower like he did last year.
The officials were all filled with anticipation.
Now that the New Year has passed, many officials feel a little lost.
You can take this opportunity to have a celebration.
After all, businessmen all have annual meetings.
Naturally, the imperial court also has to do something about it.
"Your Majesty, there is one more thing... Now that Yizhou has been recovered, it is time to make an appointment for the position of Yizhou Governor. Who do you think is more suitable?"
Cai Jing asked.
Ying Yuan thought for a moment and then slowly said, "Zheng Chenggong is a good person.
After the war with Japan is over, I will grant Zheng Chenggong the surname of the state, and let his family enjoy the treatment of "king" for generations. I will let them guard the sea gate of the Qin Dynasty for me."
He really needs to consider carefully the position of Governor of Yizhou.
And Zheng Chenggong is indeed the best choice.
If the Japanese pirates dare to attack Daqin one day in the future, their first stop will either be the coastal area or Yizhou.
Therefore, Yizhou must be defended.
Even if the Qin Dynasty is to perish, it cannot fall at the hands of Japanese pirates.
The so-called national surname actually refers to Ying Yuan’s surname - Ying.
In the territory of the Qin Dynasty, there are three surnames that are not necessarily noble.
One is the Kong family in Shandong.
The second is the Zhang family of Longhu Mountain.
Three is the surname of the current dynasty.
Among them, the national surname is the most honorable.
Otherwise, people would not say the three words "Koxinga".
In the territory of the Qin Dynasty, as long as one has the surname Ying, even if he works for a rich man, the rich man will bow and salute when he sees a worker with the surname Ying.
After all, having the same surname often means having the same origin.
If you dare to curse at someone, they will turn around and report to the police.
If you check the family tree and find that you have any connection with the royal family, then you are doomed.
...
After Cai Jing left the Xuanzheng Hall, he issued an edict for a three-day celebration.
Then, he called Cao Cao over and said with a smile, "Your Majesty said there will be three days of celebration. Since the court has no urgent matters, would you like to accompany me for a drink?"
Hearing this, the latter nodded.
Afterwards, the two came to a tavern.
After three rounds of drinking, Cao Cao asked with a smile, "I have heard that the Prime Minister likes to drink flower wine.
Now that I have some free time, why don't we go to the Zuixian Tower and take a look at it, as the Prime Minister will treat us later?"
Zuixianlou?
Cai Jing coughed suddenly and frowned, "Who told you that I like to drink wine?"
Cao Cao responded, "Do I need to hear that? Your best friend, Zhu Danxi, always brings up your glorious deeds in Zuixianlou whenever he drinks with others!"
Zhu Danxi?
This old bastard!
Cai Jing said angrily, "Minister Cao, stop talking nonsense. I will investigate this matter. Remember not to spread it any further."
