Edict prison.
In the Jinyiwei prison.
Jia Xu returned from Liangzhou and finalized the Wei family's crimes overnight. He reviewed the beheading, imprisonment, and exile of the Wei family.
It was confirmed that there was no mistake.
He yawned and rubbed his sleepy eyes. This job was too tiring.
It was time to find someone to share the burden.
"Commander, the northern cavalry reported that the Black Mountain Army led by Zhang Yan attacked Jizhou. The governor of Jizhou, Han Fu, fought to the death and drove back the Yellow Turbans.”
The Thousand Households of the Embroidered Uniform Guards reported.
The Yellow Turbans attacking the local counties was not a big deal. In the past, when the Ten Generals ran amok, they did not even bother to ask.
"A centipede will not die!"
Jia Xu felt his teeth ache. He waved his hand and said," So be it. The Shao Fu will naturally calculate the rewards based on merit. As long as there is no large-scale false claim of military merits, the Brocade Guard doesn't have to care!"”
"This subordinate will obey."
The Thousand Households of the Brocade Guard bowed and agreed." In addition, there was a messenger hidden in Yuan Shao's mansion. Yuan Shao received a secret letter from his family, which said that the daughter of the Yellow Turban Army's Heaven Duke General, Zhang Jiao, who is also the Yellow Turban Saintess, Zhang Ning, was hidden in the Black Mountain Army.
Yuan Shao seemed to have some ideas and wanted to attack the Black Mountain Army, but because the Black Mountain Army had a lot of people, he didn't dare to act rashly.”
"Yuan Clan's secret letter?"
Jia Xu frowned slightly and nodded.""After all, the Yuan Family is one of the four great families of the country. It's normal for them to have secret sources of information.
However, Zhang Jiao was dead, and the Yellow Turban Army had fallen apart and fought their own battles. The most powerful force was Zhang Yan's Black Mountain Army!
If they were to rashly engage the Black Mountain Army in order to capture Zhang Ning, it would probably delay the northern expedition!
" Yuan Shao will not act rashly either. The news about the Yellow Turban Saintess Zhang Ning will be sealed temporarily. After the Northern Expedition Army has pacified the grassland tribes, I will suggest to Your Majesty to kill off the Black Mountain Army and other Yellow Turban remnants!
What the Brocade Guards should do was to sort out and collect all the information about the Yellow Turban remnants. They had to finish it in one go!”
"This subordinate will make the arrangements."
……
Weiyang Palace.
"Embroidered Uniform Guards, well done!"
Liu Hong affirmed the efficiency and decisiveness of the Embroidered Uniform Guards in dealing with the Wei family. The families that betrayed the country and supported the enemy should all be killed.
To warn others.
"Your Majesty, the governor of Liangzhou, Cao Cao, has entrusted me with a matter!”
Jia Xu smiled as he accepted the verbal commendation and added,""The disaster relief in Liangzhou has just begun. He asked me to report the progress and plan of the disaster relief to you!”
Border officials.
Use the emperor's sword to mobilize troops.
The combination of these two could make a ruler suspicious at any time.
Cao Cao also did not dare to take the risk, so he asked Jia Xu to report the disaster relief situation and plan to show his loyalty.
"Tell me."
Liu Hong smiled.
He didn't have any thoughts about Cao Cao's methods, but it didn't hurt to listen to his subjects 'thoughts.
"The disaster relief went very smoothly. With countless confiscated rations, the Provincial Governor's Office has basically stabilized the situation and the people's hearts can be used!”
"Provincial Governor Cao's disaster relief plan is very simple. Liangzhou City has suffered a disaster and its houses and shops have been destroyed. Instead of helping it recover, it's better to demolish and rebuild it!”
"The millions of people in Liangzhou have returned home, and most of them have nothing to do. The Provincial Governor's Office will use the normal land price to take back the fields and houses in the hands of the people, and then use the normal wages to recruit people to rebuild Liangzhou!”
"After the reconstruction of Liangzhou, the people of Liangzhou have the right to buy land and houses at the original price!”
"This is the reconstructed Liangzhou City drawn by Provincial Governor Cao. Please read it, Your Majesty!”
Jia Xu took out a map from his sleeve and spread it out on the ground. His eyes were filled with admiration.
A wide and flat street!
A neat and tidy residence!
The Qinghe River that connected the north and south!
A vast field!
Trade, housing, drinking water, and farming were clearly divided. If it was built, it would not be inferior to Luoyang.
"This Cao Mengde is quite thoughtful.”
Liu Hong took a closer look. It had a hint of a modern city. With such foresight, it was worthy of the comment in the history books of " a hero in troubled times, a capable minister in governing the world."
"It's all because of money!"
Jia Xu could not help but ask.
Cao Mengde was confident that Liangzhou would not be short of grain for the next three years, and the Provincial Governor's Office had ten million taels of silver left unused.
Among the thirteen provinces of the empire, other than Liangzhou, no other province had such wealth.
"Burn it. Let's see what he can do to Liangzhou. Zhen will wait and see.”
Liu Hong had fantasies that if Liangzhou could complete the construction of a modern city, it would mean that it could be replicated and promoted to the whole country. It would be a good thing for the people.
"Your Majesty, are the Embroidered Uniform Guards going to supervise?”
"Of course! It's not easy to build the city on this map. Keep an eye on him and force him to build it.”
"Your Majesty, what if Provincial Governor Cao can't make it?”
"I will punish him for deceiving the emperor and let him use the emperor's sword to cut off his head. Then, he will pack it up and send it to me.”
"This subject obeys the decree!"
Jia Xu replied and was about to leave.
Before she could move her feet, she was stopped by a sentence.
"Regarding the national consort selection, has the Jinyiwei received any news?”
Liu Hong said with a faint smile.
After such a long period of development, even he was shocked by the number of Embroidered Uniform Guards. With such a huge information network, he should have heard something.
"This subject is guilty!"
Jia Xu admitted his mistake decisively, lowered his head and bowed,"This matter concerns the Empress Dowager, this official does not dare to say anything!”
"I forgive you for your innocence. Speak."
"Replying to Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager is inviting the daughters of the princes and nobles today. Situ Yuankui's Di daughter is also present!”
Jia Xu carefully glanced at the Emperor's expression and braced himself to say,""At the banquet, the Empress Dowager repeatedly expressed her satisfaction with the Yuan family's Di daughter. At night, there were rumors saying…saying…"
"Continue."
"They said that the Yuan family's Di daughter is the Empress Dowager's hand-picked new empress and that the other beautiful women chosen to enter the palace are just a foil!”
"This subject ordered people to investigate and confirm the source of the news. It came from the Situ residence and the Empress Dowager's Yongle Palace!”
"Alright!"
Liu Hong's expression was as calm as water." It seems that my mother has chosen an empress for me and is in a hurry to announce it to the world. Lord Situ is also in a hurry to become my father-in-law!" he said in a deep voice.”
"This…"
Jia Xu didn't know how to reply, so he simply shrunk his neck like a quail.
Outsiders didn't dare to say anything about the royal family.
"Secretly inform the civil and military officials and aristocratic families that any daughters of suitable age can enter the palace to be selected!”
Liu Hong narrowed his eyes and said softly,""With zhen here, the Yuan family's Di daughter cannot become the empress!”
