After arriving at the palace, I had a brief exchange with the surrendered ministers of the Han Dynasty. He comforted them carefully so that they could return to their respective homes with peace of mind.
Then he asked them to disperse on the grounds that he was tired after traveling all day and wanted to take a rest.
As for the reward issues that they were concerned about, Zhong Yu also promptly stated that he would come up with a detailed charter in a day or two.
Zhong Yu would definitely not treat these ministers who were loyal to the Great Imperial Kingdom badly. When the time comes, all of them would be rewarded, and some of the ministers would even be able to be granted the imperial title. Zhong Yu hinted this way.
In this way, with the happy faces on their faces, the group of surrendered ministers left the palace in panic, and came outside the city gate while whispering to each other.
Then people who were friends with each other went to a restaurant in the city to get together, excitedly discussing what rewards they could get this time.
Seeing the unbearable performance of the group of surrendered ministers, Zhong Yu suddenly felt a little tired. If he fell into a situation like the Ling Emperor in the future, would anyone be loyal to him
People who have redeemed it through the system and are absolutely loyal to themselves should not end up like the Ling Emperor!
However, the system and those who have redeemed it, are they loyal to the system or to themselves? This issue is still worthy of discussion, and Zhong Yu is wise not to speculate or entangle.
Now, he has occupied the center of the entire Han Dynasty. The hub used by the Han Dynasty to command various places and transfer resources everywhere, Luoyang City has been under his control.
It can be said that all the people in the entire Han Dynasty no longer have the target of their allegiance, and I can justifiably accept them in the name of their ancestor Lingdi.
He estimated that he would only need half a year to send troops and horses to take over the cities along the way, and eliminate those who tried to take advantage of the leaderless Han people to cause chaos.
Then the entire territory of the Han Dynasty can be said to be completely under his control, and the world of the Three Kingdoms can also be said to be completely pacified.
However, this cannot perfectly achieve the purpose of coming to the world of the Three Kingdoms. In addition to luck points, a sufficient elite population is also a very important goal.
He divides the elite population into three categories. First, political talents are specially used to govern his own territory in Kaituo, the main world.
Second, technical talents. Such as those various blacksmiths, doctors, and various craftsmen who are good at making weapons and armor.
These two kinds of talents require a lot of time to train and learn. I don't have that much time to spend them slowly in the main world. It is better to plunder enough talents in the Three Kingdoms world.
The third type is a sufficiently elite army. It must be an army that has seen blood, killed people, and been trained. And training such an army must consume a lot of resources, enough time, and a large number of people to make up for the losses.
The reason why he recruited so many cannon fodder in the Three Kingdoms world is to train hundreds of thousands of his elite soldiers. Then he can use the luck points that can be exchanged directly to the system and exchange them for the main world at a lower price.
Now it can be said that the entire Han Dynasty has no power that can stop him, which means that there is no tough battle for him to fight to train more elites.
This is undoubtedly inconsistent with our own goals, so we must find a way to provoke a war with our army. Now that the Han Dynasty has been pacified, and there is no war, we must expand outward.
Who is the strongest barbarian around the Han Dynasty now? Xianbei people? They occupied the Han Dynasty and the entire northern territory, controlled hundreds of thousands of men with strings and armor, and brought trouble to the Han Dynasty in the north for decades. They happened to be a strong opponent.
Only with strong strength can your army go through severe enough wars, and you can also train the most powerful army. When the time comes, it will be more practical to use it to conquer the tribes with extraordinary power in your own main world.
Now that the future goal was decided, Zhong Yu felt more at ease. After thinking about things for so long and sitting in the car for so long, he was really tired, so he fell asleep beautifully on his jade couch.
Three days later, Zhong Yu stood on a high platform on the site used for worshiping heaven in Luoyang City, looking down at dozens of rows of civil and military officials.
Amidst their compliments, Zhong Yu slowly read out the heaven-sacrifice articles written by the learned doctors of the Han Dynasty in his hands.
In this way, he expressed his great righteousness to succeed the Han Dynasty and become the orthodoxy of the world. He looked forward to God's mercy and protection of his dynasty for generations to come.
Of course, whether Zhong Yu believes the content or not is a matter of opinion. Just like the time traveler looks down on all the natives of the time traveling world, even when facing existences that are countless times more powerful than themselves, they still think they are inferior to themselves.
What's more, as a being who can travel through all the heavens and realms, he thinks that his identity is more supreme and noble than the way of heaven.
He is also determined to put the entire world under his feet and become an ant under the influence of heaven in the future. How can he surrender to an ant
It's just an expression of the weak strength in the early stage to the heaven and the people of the world! So as not to arouse their vigilance and suspicion.
The self-esteem of a time traveler is sometimes so inexplicable, let alone Zhong Yu, who is more noble than a time traveler
So despite all the disdain and anger in his heart, Zhong Yu still suppressed the nausea in his heart, read out the memorial letter, and then looked at the minister below with a calm expression.
He raised his head and motioned to the eunuch beside him, signaling him to read out the thick stack of imperial edicts in front of him, and then read out the long-awaited reward to the waiting ministers below.
The first one to come down was Liu Hong, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty. The eunuch read out his reward, Duke of Pei, to command the seven counties of Pei.
Emperor Ling expressed his gratitude with a joyful expression. At the eunuch's signal, he withdrew and let the first person come on.
The second one was Sikong Wang Yun. In order to repay him for taking the lead in surrendering, Zhong Yu gave him the land of three counties and supervised more than a dozen feudal states around his fiefdom.
The third one is the patriarch of the Yuan clan, Situ Yuan Wei, who is the representative of the world's aristocratic families. He received the land of three counties, but he did not have the right to supervise the surrounding feudal states to prevent his power from growing further.
…
After a period of awards, everyone got their own rewards of status, and everyone returned to their homes with satisfaction, celebrating this joy.
Zhong Yu was also tired after a long day. He returned to his palace exhausted and fell asleep. The troubled day ended like this, and he fell asleep with everyone's joy.
The next day, the ministers who received their respective feudal states came to the main hall to thank Zhong Yu for the reward. They also formally expressed their allegiance and loyalty to Zhong Yu here, ensuring that they would be loyal to the kingdom for generations to come.
After another round of hypocritical back and forth, Zhong Yu said after dealing with them: "Although the empire has been established, the world is not at peace. I want to organize a imperial guard and recruit heroes from all over the world to join it to defend the world for me and conquer injustice. !”
After finishing speaking, he paused for a while, looked at the faces and opinions of the officials in the hall at this moment, and found that someone was about to speak, so he immediately said decisively:
"I am not discussing with you, but informing you so that you can understand what I mean and implement it more thoroughly."
