The Silver Guards are responsible for the security of the citizens of Longdu except the inner city of the palace. They are also the most influential Longdu defense force. They are under the jurisdiction of Longdu Mansion and are also supervised by the Prince's Mansion. The former commander of the Silver Guards, Yuan Qi, is the leader of the princelings. After Yuan Qi was beheaded, Wei Yuan, a close confidant of the Crown Prince, served as the commander-in-chief.
After Wei Yuan became the commander of the Silver Guards, he suppressed dissidents, promoted his confidants, and rebuilt the Silver Guards in a very short period of time, gaining the trust of the prince. The death of Wei Yuan cast another shadow over Longdu City, and also The prince of the prison kingdom realized that he had been a little aggressive recently.
After Wei Yuan's death, those he promoted were either assassinated in retaliation, or abandoned their positions and fled in fear of their lives. The silver-clad guards who once kept pace with the golden-clad guards finally declined, and the only military power of the Prince Supervisor was also deprived of him.
Longdu City once again had to be managed by the Forbidden Army, and Longdu once again returned to the hands of Du Shanbo.
On December 28, the 29th year of Taiqian, Prince Xuanyuan, the Prince of the Supervisory State, was enthroned to worship heaven at the Fengchan Temple in Longdu Imperial City. He changed his title to Dade and became the Dade Emperor. Immediately after Dade Emperor succeeded to the throne, A general amnesty was granted to the whole country, and all land taxes in the first year of the Taisho period were abolished, such as the Zhengbei tax and all land taxes in the first year of the Taisho period. The royal family's inner treasury was used and the precious treasures in the inner treasury were pawned to raise huge sums of money to fill the national treasury, so that the whole country could tide over the difficulties together.
It was the first time in the three hundred years of the Holy Han Empire that the imperial treasury was used to feed the national army and officials next year. This move immediately established the formality of the Xuanyuan royal family and made people all over the world praise the Xuanyuan royal family even more. This move of Emperor Dade not only won the hearts of the people, but also saved the hearts of the people. As a result, rebellions and civil strife in various places were subsided. It must be said that Emperor Dade was an emperor with considerable courage and political wisdom, and he was also an emperor who would be remembered in the future. Famous kings written in poems throughout the ages.
After the enthronement ceremony, Emperor Dade convened his ministers and decided to negotiate peace with Wuhuan. The bottom line of the peace negotiation was to rescue the Han army in Jincheng, abrogate all agreements with the Tartar Khanate, and make the northern part of Saibei belong to Wuhuan.
Mucheng also held a less grand ceremony to celebrate the new emperor's enthronement. Guan Xiang's newly recruited chief secretary was responsible for presiding over the ceremony and writing a new county chronicle.
Two days later, the Holy Han New Year arrived, and Mucheng became truly happy. The streets and alleys were full of New Year's joy. Although it was very cold this winter, Mucheng used a large number of smoke stones and new ways of keeping warm, which protected the soldiers and civilians of the entire Wooden City. No one froze to death this winter, which is also a great joy.
The people's evaluation of the ghost general is even higher than that of the Great Virtue Emperor. After all, the Great Virtue Emperor is far away in the horizon and the ghosts are right in front of them.
Starting from the first year of Dade, Zhang Xiaowu officially distributed pay to his soldiers. He still used the method of half silver and half grain. The soldiers had both grain and silver in their hands, and their lives gradually improved. It was only because of the war in Saibei and the cold winter. The reason is that almost no caravans or court officials came to Mucheng. Even because Emperor Dade stopped corvee service, no people were willing to come to live in the Saibei area.
Although life in Mucheng was simpler and boring, Zhang Xiaowu thought of a good way to relieve the pressure in Mucheng. He made a new football out of sheepskin and sheep bladder, then organized Mucheng to hold a football league and taught everyone the rules of football. Previously he They had fun doing this when they were in the epidemic village. Many officers and soldiers in the old dead soldiers camp knew the rules. At this time, these "old men" became the main force and coaches of each team.
There are a total of ten teams in the Mucheng Football League, and each team has its own unique team name. Some are called the Wooden Champions Team, some are called the Saibei Falcons, Saibei Heroes, Mucheng Ares, and Mucheng Grandpa is on this team—
-As a result, every team kicked the team to death when they saw Mr. Mucheng. They eventually had to change their name to the Mucheng Defenders to admit their mistake...
In order to increase the fun, Zhang Xiaowu also set league bonuses. The league champion team will be awarded one thousand taels of silver, the runner-up will be awarded 900 taels, the third place will be 800 taels, and the tenth place will be awarded 100 taels of silver.
On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, an official document from the Ministry of War was sent to Mucheng. The official document required Zhang Xiaowu, the garrison envoy of Mucheng, to abide by his duties and never use weapons against foreigners without authorization. The Ministry of War also formally appointed Zhang Xiaowu as acting garrison envoy with an official document, and he was promoted from the rank of third-rank deputy general to the first rank.
class.
Zhang Xiaowu, the city lord, was officially recognized by the government. The official from the Ministry of War then handed Zhang Xiaowu a letter and said, "This letter is entrusted to you by an old friend of your Excellency."
Zhang Xiaowu received the letter and saw that the person who wrote the letter only left the word "Zhou". He couldn't help but said: "An old friend named Zhou? When did I have an old friend named Zhou?" He greeted his subordinates and asked: "I have an old friend named Zhou.
?”
Everyone looked at each other, and Guan Xiang suddenly said: "Could it be Zhou Wenqi who joined the army from the Sixth Regiment?"
Zhang Xiaowu opened the letter and read it, wondering: "This... the classical Chinese text is really... I know every word, but I can't understand it when put together. Zhongzhi, please help me translate it."
Guan Xiang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he took the letter and read it over, and said: "The general meaning is that Du Shanbo promoted the Lord to be the city lord, and in the future he will also ask the city lord to do everything under Dushan Bo's orders. In a few days, the imperial court will negotiate with Quan Yi."
The envoy will come to Mucheng soon, and he will surely surprise you."
"Well, what about the back?"
"No more."
"No? That's what you mean? Where can I read two words?" Zhang Xiaowu shouted, "Guan Zhongzhi, don't lie to me. Although I can't understand this elegant letter, I know the words."
Guan Xiang said: "It's really gone. What's more, Mr. Zhou is now a member of the Imperial Army."
Zhang Xiaowu said with a smile: "Wen Qi is really capable this week."
Guan Xiang said: "Who do you think will be responsible for the management and support of the Sixth Regiment? It all depends on Zhou Wenqi. Without Zhou Wenqi, Cheng Chu would be nothing. Although this person is selfish, cautious and unfair, he is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
Everyone in the Sixth Regiment is his confidant."
Zhang Xiaowu asked: "Why didn't you tell me before?"
Guan Xiang spread his hands and said, "I thought you could tell and would seek refuge with him. Zhou Wenqi said a lot of good things for you. Could it be that you didn't notice it at the beginning?"
Zhang Xiaowu scratched his head and smiled awkwardly: "I was very busy at the time."
Everyone fell down. What does this have to do with being busy? If you don’t have the eyesight to see, you don’t have the eyesight to see.
Zhang Xiaowu took the letter and read it carefully, and felt that he didn't understand it. He thought to himself, was Zhou Wenqi declaring war on him? He studied science before time travel, because he was not good at classical literature in liberal arts, but this old boy actually used Yawen to give himself
Writing a letter, what is it to show off? He waved the letter, turned around and said to everyone: "You also listened to the letter, did you find that the letter brought an important message?"
Everyone looked at each other, and Xiao Kai suddenly said: "Peace talks?"
"Old Xiao is still smart, only a little bit inferior to me!" Zhang Xiaowu laughed, Xiao Kai couldn't laugh or cry, and said to himself, Sir, you can even take advantage of this. Zhang Xiaowu continued: "Peace talks, the imperial court actually wants to have peace talks with Quan Yi, I thought the Holy
The emperors of the Han Empire were all hot-headed and thought they were blessed with wealth and honor, but they never expected that there would be such a sober emperor."
"The virtuous emperor." Guan Xiang reminded him after coughing.
Zhang Xiaowu said: "Yes, Emperor Dade, although our emperor is young..."
"Ahem..." Guan Xiang interrupted, "Your Majesty is nineteen years old this year, and he is still ten years older than you."
