"Your Majesty, there is a battle report from the Northwest Front."
In the early morning, when Chen Ziang, the emperor of the Far East Empire, was having breakfast with the two empresses, Yuan Pu, the head of internal affairs, stepped forward lightly and presented a battle report.
The Northwest War affected everyone's hearts. Liu Yidao and Li Qiye won consecutive battles, but Chen Ziang was still worried.
He requested that the battle reports on the Northwest Front should be sent to him as soon as possible no matter when they arrive in the imperial capital.
Chen Ziang put down the bowl and chopsticks, and took a small note from Yuan Pu, the head of internal affairs, which was sent by Feige from the Intelligence Investigation Institute.
"The army captured Xijing, and Ashinayun fled to the desert."
Below a string of numbers, there is a thin line of small characters that have been translated, and the ink is still wet.
"Okay, wow!"
Seeing the news sent back by the Intelligence Investigation Institute, Chen Ziang couldn't help but applaud loudly.
The two empresses were very happy to see Chen Ziang. They were very curious about what happened, but the harem was not allowed to interfere in politics, so they dared not ask.
"Xijing has been captured, and the threat from the Northwest has been resolved." Chen Ziang said with a smile.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty, congratulations, Your Majesty."
Seeing that Chen Ziang said it himself, the two also looked at each other and congratulated Chen Ziang one after another.
"It's a big happy event. Let the kitchen cook a few more dishes at noon today. I want to invite Qin An and the others to celebrate together." Chen Ziang turned his head and said to Yuan Pu.
"Follow the order."
"By the way, let Qin An and the heads of their ministries enter the palace later, I have something important to discuss." Chen Ziang added.
"Follow the order."
After Yuan Pu, the head of internal affairs, agreed, he immediately resigned.
Chen Ziang was in a happy mood. He finished breakfast talking and laughing with the two empresses, and then went to Qinzheng Hall leisurely.
Qin An and the others also knew about the situation on the front line. When Chen Ziang arrived at the Qinzheng Hall, they had already arrived first.
"The desert empire in the northwest has been resolved. As for the aftermath, if you have any thoughts on the aftermath, please let me know."
With the disintegration of the desert empire, the threat to the northwest of the Far East Empire has also been lifted, but there are still many aftermaths to deal with, and Chen Ziang also wants to hear everyone's opinions.
"Your Majesty, I suggest that you follow the example of the barbarians in setting up the Anxi province, set up provincial jurisdiction in the desert empire, and appoint officials to directly manage it." Qin An, the chief of staff, took the lead.
Before the Far Eastern Empire, the imperial court implemented the canonization system for the jurisdiction of the border areas.
They will confer a title on a famous local person, and the local court will govern the place on behalf of the court.
The advantage of this is that the court does not need to appoint officials, nor does it need to intervene in the direct jurisdiction of these areas. They only need to pay taxes to the court on time.
The same disadvantages are also obvious. After the power in these regions grows, they will often embrace their own self-respect, and eventually they will not be able to lose their tails.
This is also why the border areas of the Far East are constantly being swallowed up by outsiders. It is because those people who were canonized there were bought and then gradually defected to the Far East.
"We have just finished the war with the desert empire in the Far East. If we rashly set up a province now, we will probably encounter hostility from many people, thinking that we are invaders. My minister's suggestion is to take it slowly." Song Song, director of the Ministry of Industry Zhi also expressed his thoughts.
"We can garrison troops in Xijing and other places, and appoint officials to help them restore order, vigorously publicize the friendship between our Far East and the desert empire, and establish an alliance. When the time is right, let Murong Fu lead the desert empire to formally merge into our Far East." Song Zhi said.
"I think what Song Aiqing said is right. If we directly annex it now, it will be counterproductive and arouse the resentment of the local people. It is more appropriate to take it slowly."
"But Xu Xutuzhi's premise is that Murong Fu and others must obey our orders, and the Intelligence Investigation Institute will keep a close eye on them. If they disagree, they must be replaced immediately." Chen Ziang emphasized.
"Your Majesty, someone offered me an idea, and I don't know whether to say it or not." Qin An, Chief of the Ministry of Officials, continued.
"But it's okay to say."
"In order to better incorporate the desert empire region into the empire's territory in the future, we can now recruit a group of teenagers and children from various towns in the desert empire, and send them to Imperial Capital Academy, Yunxi Academy and Zhanzheng Academy for training."
"On the one hand, they strengthened their?? understanding and sense of identity, and at the same time provide better governance for desert areas in the future. "
After hearing what Qin An said, Chen Ziang nodded in agreement.
The minds of teenagers and children are immature, and they are sent to the major academies in the Far East to train them, so that they can be trained to become talents that the empire can use and trust.
In the future, they will be sent back to manage the desert area. They are from the local people, and they can also be recognized by the local people. The empire can also trust them, killing two birds with one stone.
"I think it is feasible, and I will come up with a specific charter later." Chen Ziang immediately agreed.
"By the way, who came up with this idea? It can be useful." Chen Ziang asked again.
"Your Majesty, the person who proposed this idea is currently in the prison of the empire, ready to be killed in the spring." Qin An glanced at Chen Ziang before speaking slowly.
"With such a talent, why do you ask to be killed?" Chen Ziang was also full of doubts.
Qin An replied: "This person is called Qin Yongzhi. He used to be the Chief of Administration of Ganquan Prefecture in Daning Province. He surrendered to the Desert Empire and served as Governor of Daning Province."
"I just remembered, this person was listed as a traitor." After such a reminder, Chen Ziang also remembered.
? When the Desert Empire invaded the Far East, officials in many places ran away as fast as they could, and some simply surrendered.
For those officials who fled and dereliction of duty, the imperial court did not let them go. Many of them were dismissed and put in prison, waiting to be executed.
Qin Yongzhi was also no exception. After the Far East Army recovered Daning Province, he, the governor of the desert empire, was also reduced to a prisoner.
"Your Majesty, I want to risk my life to intercede, and I hope that Your Majesty will be lenient and forgive his capital crime." After seeing Chen Ziang, Qin An hesitated for a few seconds before bowing and speaking.
"You all believe in Qin, could it be your relatives?"
What Chen Ziang hated the most were those traitors. When he saw Qin An pleading for him, a cold light flashed in his eyes.
"Although Weichen and Qin Yongzhi belonged to the same family five hundred years ago, they have nothing to do with each other now."
Chen Ziang said coldly: "Then why did you risk your life to intercede for him, you know that traitors are the ones I hate the most!"
"Your Majesty, I have no selfish intentions. Although Qin Yongzhi once took refuge in the desert empire and worked for the desert empire, he still has the people in his heart"
While Qin An was speaking, he took out a cloth strip full of bloody fingerprints from his arms.
"Your Majesty, this is the letter of thousands of people sent to the imperial capital by the people of Daning Province. They were all rescued by Qin Yongzhi. They are grateful for Qin Yongzhi's life-saving grace and implore the court to forgive Qin Yongzhi's death crime."
Seeing that the people of Daning Province actually wrote a love letter to Qin Yongzhi, a traitor, Chen Ziang was also shocked. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
