Chapter 883: The Eve of Reunification (2)
The envoys of the Zhanying Wangting were driven back to their hometown in shame, and it seemed that they no longer had much hope to resolve their hatred with the Starlight Empire at a lower cost. When they returned, they could only plan for the fate of their clan!
As for the Miliam civilization, because Emperor Suro Ehronshan was sleeping, the only remaining bigwigs in the Senate decided to send envoys to the Starlight Empire after fierce debate, and proposed to give up support to the Gnaslok Empire and allow the unification of the human world in exchange for a permanent peace agreement between the two tribes.
This unrealistic request was of course flatly rejected by Yun Haoyu! In addition to helplessness, this group of red-skinned lizards had to start secretly discussing the possibility of clan migration. After all, once the Star Light Empire controls the entire human world, it will definitely not let them go, such aliens! Since they can't afford to offend, they can only consider hiding!
The only thing that surprised Yun Haoyu was the Bojiang Empire. Since he escaped from the trap, this civilization with the greatest hatred of him has not responded to any of it. The newly succeeded Empress Qi was busy stabilizing the internal affairs and consolidating her power, and ignored the notes issued by the Star Hui Empire.
Yu Xinzhe's army was progressing smoothly. In less than half a month, it successfully recovered all the territory occupied by the rebels and captured all important figures and their families!
Queen Qi did not express any statement about such an important piece being easily eaten by the Emperor* team, as if she had forgotten the fact that the Bojiang clan's plan in the human world was completely bankrupt. I don't know what confidence she had, and dared to ignore the powerful opponent's military front that was close to her!
Before we knew it, the end of the year was coming. After Yu Xinzhe handled the affairs of the northwest territory, he led the army back to the imperial capital and gave a detailed report to Yun Haoyu about Zhong Mingrui's family's suicide.
After several hesitation, Yun Haoyu decided not to pursue the matter after discussing with several important officials. As for the eldest daughter Zhong Yinxue, who survived by chance, she was given to Zhong Qingying to raise her, and she was treated equal to the royal princess.
The other rebels were not so lucky. Headed by Zhu Yin, thousands of military and political officials and nobles, together with their immediate relatives, were executed in total! On the day of the execution, His Majesty the Emperor also went to observe the execution in person.
At this point, the military and political order in most areas of the entire empire, except for a few remote areas, has been restored. Those territorial officials who dare to rebel and rebellion, either fled for fear of crime, were killed on the spot by the rebel fleet, or surrendered and surrendered, were no longer the same!
Until now, the civil storm in the empire has basically subsided, and all the people who should be killed have been killed! The eleven dukes with the highest status and their direct tribes, including the queen's family, have already been on the road! All property is confiscated and replenished into the national treasury!
The day before yesterday, Rudolph, one of the three major families, was involved in the rebellion incident and was dismembered like Randall. Later, two other heads pleaded for him. In addition, the imperial concubine Ye Katerina also came forward to persuade him, and Yun Haoyu allowed him to commit suicide.
As a result, Xiang Dan, the former head of the Black Republic, followed suit and also made a request for suicide. After Yun Haoyu's consent, it was supervised and implemented by Li Xingyan.
However, this guy looked at death on the surface, but at the critical moment, he was so shocked that he could not hit the vital point without even firing two shots. Finally, the impatient Li Xingyan ordered "help this old man's help"! The palace guards fired a lot of gunfire and shot him into a sieve!
Although the blood has faded and the imperial power is still stable, the price paid by the empire is heavy! Two princes, eleven dukes, six first-class generals, tens of thousands of nobles, and hundreds of thousands of military and political officials died; the fleets of all parties involved in the rebellion combined more than 15 million, including more than 3 million imperial guards!
Such a huge loss, even compared with the decisive battle of alien civilizations, is only half a pound to eight taels! It can be seen that civil strife is so harmful to a country and a civilization!
Of course, the root of all this lies in the sow discord between alien civilizations, which has become increasingly firm in Yun Haoyu's idea of completely erasing these alien civilizations!
After the killing, rewards were given, and this move also had the consideration of appeaseing the ministers and stabilizing the court. Yun Haoyu was extremely generous to the officials and nobles who chose to stand on the emperor's side from beginning to end in this unprecedented storm of plot against the enemy. Almost everyone received generous rewards.
Since the war on the Eastern battlefield ended, the soldiers who participated in the war had not yet rewarded them according to their merits, the two rewards were combined into one.
Crassus, Fu Chengxiang, Hu Mu, Li Xingyan, Jerome, Zhao Zhixiong, Meng Xuan and others were all awarded the title of third-class duke of the Empire, and were hereditary and retired with the country! They also received corresponding territories and numerous rewards for their property industries.
Among them, Li Xingyan, Jerome, Hu Mu, and Fu Chengxiang won the rank of Imperial Marshal. So far, the number of marshals in the Starlight Empire has reached ten, but due to Luo Hanxing's accidental fall, the current marshals are nine.
The reward range this time was very wide. Anyone who stood on the emperor's side during civil strife was given a share, including the most ordinary soldiers, with a large number of cash rewards and various material living benefits. A considerable number of warrior fleets were assigned to the Imperial Guard Corps and upgraded to the emperor's guard force.
Finally, given the performance of the aristocratic group led by the four major families of the Shuofeng Empire in the civil strife and the balance of the court, Yun Haoyu finally decided to strengthen the power held by these old wealthy families in a limited manner, and granted his grandfather Yun Tianque as the prince, and rewarded some of the previously confiscated industries, and together with the other three, they all got a lot of benefits.
Finally, it is about the rewards of the girls in the harem, which is also an indispensable part. Yun Haoyu certainly will not be stingy with these women who never leave him in the most critical moments.
The only thing that had not been decided was the ownership of the position of the queen. The girls stared at the two positions and were waiting for him to express their opinions, but he also felt a little embarrassed and didn't know how to make a decision.
Now Feng Lanxi is taking care of the affairs in the palace. In terms of qualifications and contributions, no one in the harem can compete with her, only a formal title is missing. Therefore, Yun Haoyu once considered it, so why would you forget about this position for her, and I think other concubines would not say anything.
However, such a proposal was strongly opposed by a group of important officials. Although Yun Tianque had just promoted to the prince, he refused to show mercy to his Majesty on this matter and expressed his most intense veto attitude on the spot.
For this reason, Yun Haoyu held a banquet in the palace to entertain his grandfather, explaining his thoughts, hoping that he could change his mind.
"Your Majesty, Concubine Feng has served the emperor of the previous dynasty. Even if you don't care about her past, can the ruling and civilians accept it? How do you explain the trillions of citizens of the empire? Even if you are in the palace, you may not convince all the concubines!" The speaker of the nobles persuaded.
In his opinion, the Starlight Empire was about to unify the entire Star Sea World. As such an unprecedented super empire, the queen of the founding king, the noble figure who was in charge of the central palace and the mother of the world must be a woman with a talented and talented background without any stains. Feng Lanxi obviously did not meet these conditions.
If even a woman like her can be a queen, it would be too detrimental to the royal family.
Yun Haoyu frowned and said:
"But Concubine Feng's contribution to the empire is indisputable. She has been following me since I left the Prison Soul Star Sea. Without her help, the difficult stage of entrepreneurship would not be so easy to get through! Especially during the period when I was trapped, if it weren't for her support, those rebels might have caused much damage to the empire!"
"It was not her responsibility in the past, so I feel that there is no need to worry about it anymore!"
Yun Tianque said in a deep voice: "You may not care, but the ministers outside do not think so! If it is replaced by others, this matter is nothing. But as the emperor and the controller of the highest power, you must pay attention to the influence of all aspects of things, and you cannot do whatever you want and act recklessly!"
Yun Haoyu frowned, his face turned a little cold: "Can I not even be able to make decisions about this?"
The prince looked at the angry emperor, calmly picked up the wine pot on the table and poured wine for him.
But I don’t know if it was because the prince’s hand trembled or deliberately, the light red wine quickly passed through the edge of the cup and flowed onto the white tablecloth.
"Prince Yun, the wine overflows!" Yun Haoyu reminded.
He smiled slightly: "Yes, it's because I'm too negligent! If the wine is full, the moon is full, the loss is lost! The ancients' views are indeed reasonable!"
"You mean..." Yun Haoyu's eyes flashed, and he vaguely guessed what he meant.
"Your Majesty, Concubine Feng is now the most favored woman in the palace and the most powerful concubine! If you give her the position of the Lord of the Palace, aren't you afraid that she will have a strange intention?" Yun Tianque said in a deep voice.
"Since ancient times to the present, there are countless examples of loyal people becoming no longer loyal after having high enough power and status! Although she is very loyal to you now, it is because she has no support except Your Majesty, so she can only stand on Your Majesty's side with all her heart!"
"Once she has the capital to establish a self-employed person in the future, will she still treat you as she is now? How many people can keep their true hearts in the face of supreme power?"
"I'm welcome to say that your brother was the first to be the prime minister and had the title of prince. He was powerful and above all the people! In addition, he was not calm enough, so the alien races made the idea to him and bewitched him from the throne regardless of his brother's affection!"
"If he had not had such a high status, he would not have had such an irresponsible idea at all! Did you make the same mistake again?"
“…”
(The position of queen is given to Feng Lanxi, probably it is OK! ps: The next update will be issued before twelve o'clock, and the holiday will be updated tomorrow.)
