Chapter 308: The Way Out
The most depressed person in Dajin in the past year must be His Royal Highness the Regent.
Not only Xiao Yuan, who could share half of the work, ran away, but his top bodyguard also ran away.
Even his lover Azhuo was like a meat bun throwing a dog away and never came back.
Is it so good outside?
So while you are enjoying yourself, no one has thought about what I should do.
Without Xiao Yuan, all his work was assigned to himself. Even if there was help, he still had to make the decision regarding major decisions.
The status did not change, the salary did not increase, but the business volume doubled.
Especially since the guy was traveling with his wife at public expense while he was separated from Azhuo, Jin Zekang felt that he was being taken advantage of no matter how he thought about it.
Another thing is that Bao Beibei never came back, and since she left, he no longer has any top combat power around him.
The quality is not good enough, so we can only make do with quantity. Every time we go out, there are a lot of people around us and we are always worried.
This guy is worthy of being Jiang Xinyu's buddy. He is daring and does not play by the rules.
Throughout history, there have been many top military commanders who commanded their own troops, but no one was as bold as her to directly ask the imperial court for territory.
Look what the hell this is.
To make her a princess,
To give her the Quanrong as her fiefdom,
To relocate people there to support her transformation,
How is this different from rebellion?
Bao Beibei seemed to have anticipated some of his remarks, and as she felt that communication between the two places would be difficult, she simply wrote them all down.
First of all, this is of course different from rebellion.
If she became a princess of Da Jin and occupied a fiefdom, what would be wrong? After all, this place also belonged to Da Jin.
After she dies, the land will be inherited by the people of Dajin and will not fall into the hands of foreigners.
Another thing is that all the people in the past were from Dajin, spoke Dajin dialect, wrote Dajin characters, and followed Dajin traditions.
No matter what, they would never be like the Quanrong people who burned, looted and became enemies of the Jin Dynasty.
But saying so much is all nonsense. What impressed Jin Zexuan the most was the last one.
Bao Beibei wants this place not just for herself.
It was also to leave a way out for Jiang Xinyu and his wife and him, the Regent.
Now that the young emperor is young and inexperienced, he naturally relies on them for everything. However, looking at history, only one in ten regents and co-regents like them can have a good ending.
People change, especially those who become emperors.
Bao Beibei felt that once the young emperor was able to rule the country personally, their two families should stay away from the capital and completely break away from the court.
Don't even think about helping him get on the throne and then sending him on his way. As long as these two big mountains are blocking the way in the court, it will be impossible for those ministers to serve the little emperor wholeheartedly.
If you are going to delegate power, do it thoroughly and cleanly so that the other party feels comfortable and at ease.
The smell is far away and close.
If they don't want to go to war with the children they raised, it's better for them to retreat while the going gets tough.
But the entire Dajin, whether it is the prosperous south of the Yangtze River or the powerful northwest.
To be honest, the emperor will never feel at ease wherever they go.
It would be better to stay in a safe corner thousands of miles away. Even if the little emperor wants to kill them all, he will be unable to do so.
Jin Zekang is definitely not a fool to become the final winner.
Even though he chose him himself, he couldn't guarantee that the little wolf would turn against him once Jin Zeyu came of age and took power.
In this case, it would be better to take advantage of the power now to support Bao Beibei and leave a way out for yourself.
Even if you don't use it in the future, there is no loss.
Such a large area of land as Quanrong must have someone stationed to guard it.
Rather than giving it to someone unknown and encouraging his ambition, it would be better to give it to this enlightened monk who would rather be a prince than a princess.
Jin Zekang felt a toothache when he thought of Bao Beibei's true identity.
The most enlightened monk who appears only once in a few hundred years actually came up with the idea of using smallpox to destroy a country.
He is now unable to look directly at Buddhist texts.
What do you recite every day?
Didn't you say that Buddha is merciful?
How come this has not been touched by direct physical salvation?
When he first heard the news, he wanted to ask Bao Beibei if he had a part-time job in the underworld.
This is because Prince Yan couldn't complete his performance and asked her to take action.
Of the millions of Quanrong people, only tens of thousands of women and children were left. Throughout the hundreds of years of history, there has never been such a heart-breaking tragedy of the destruction of a nation.
However, King Zekang of Jin did not feel sorry for the Quanrong.
After all, the tragedy more than 600 years ago was committed by the Quanrong against the Jin Dynasty.
The historical record of that period is that there were three years of severe drought, three years of locusts, and half a year of snowstorms and cannibalism.
The people of Dajin were devoured by the Quanrong.
At that time, the whole country was in chaos and all countries suffered disasters. The population of the Quanrong was not affected much, but they were almost wiped out by the Great Jin.
The Quanrong people completely followed the bestial lifestyle. All the food was left for the old, the weak, women and children. The men rushed out of their nests to burn, kill, plunder and eat people.
In the later period, natural disasters continued, and even the families who remained in the Quanrong territory had to survive on the dried human flesh transported back.
Perhaps this is what they call the law of nature. The Quanrong finally paid back the debt of life they owed 600 years ago.
During this year, Xiao Yuan was not in the capital, so the officials on his side were not suppressed.
However, if he disagreed with Jin Zekang on something, he would still go to the Marquis' Mansion to seek advice from the Crown Prince and Lord He Zhanghe.
Jin Zekang did not make a decision immediately after receiving the letter. He called the two of them over to discuss it together.
It was no small matter to make an orphan a princess for no apparent reason, not to mention that it had to be a fiefdom of a country.
He can deal with the people on his side, but it will take two of them to deal with the officials from Xiao Yuan's faction.
This was not a difficult matter for He Zhang, and soon the decree to confer the title of Princess Yong'an on Bao Beibei was issued.
Also sent out were two decrees conferring titles.
First, Xu Zuyin, the commander of Beirong Pass, was awarded the title of Duke of Rong for his contribution in destroying the Quanrong King's City.
Second, the young general Xie Zhuo, who came to support the army, recaptured seven cities of the Quanrong and was named Marquis of Dingbei.
The court officials had no first-hand information about who had made greater and lesser contributions on the battlefield.
But judging from the current situation, apart from the inexplicable Princess Yong'an, the other two are well-deserved.
After all, it is a fact that the Quanrong had one royal city and 12 subsidiary cities returned to the Jin Dynasty, so conferring one duke and one marquis on them is really not too much.
As for the achievements of others, we just need to wait for the commander-in-chief Xu Zuyin to report them.
As the commander-in-chief of the three armed forces, he has that power, and Jin Zekang also believes that he would not be so foolish as to exclude dissidents and suppress loyal people.
Xu Zuyin certainly wouldn’t.
In addition to Liu Xu's contribution, he deliberately added some other basic facts.
As a military commander, it is a big taboo to have unclear rewards and punishments.
The army now consists of three types of troops: his original troops, the troops brought by Bao Beibei, and Xie Zhuo's follow-up troops.
Even if he wanted to gain more benefits for his confidants, he would not blatantly tamper with the credit.
He is already a duke, and there will be plenty of opportunities to request titles for his subordinates in the future. There is no need to offend Bao Beibei and Xie Zhuo at this time.
These two are the regent's men, and Bao Beibei has a close relationship with the wife of the Marquis of Zhenguo.
He has someone in the court who can help him get things done.
As a loyal minister who has never done anything to help the emperor, he can only be sensible.
