late han empire

A long, long-planned war ended like this.

It looks disgusting, and it looks crazy.But no matter what, it is now completely over.

Sima Yi occupied the five prefectures of Chaisang, Yuzhang, Jianye, Wu, and Kuaiji as his foundation. In fact, it can be seen that he is lingering on his last days. Unless he can turn decay into magic, otherwise nothing will be discussed.Liu Ming doesn't even need to bother him, Cao Cao will talk to him.

Cao Cao occupied the four counties in Jingnan, the entire territory of Jiaozhou and the Nanzhong area.However, this guy's appetite didn't end there. He began to kill towards the Indochina Peninsula, opened up wasteland and built cities, and seemed to intend to expand his territory to the entire Indochina Peninsula, and even Southeast Asia.

As for Liu Ming, who occupies the entire Han area north of the Yangtze River, he can be said to be the largest prince in the world.Furthermore, if the price is not considered, Sima Yi's power can even quickly become history.

It's just that this war has been fought for too long, and resources and manpower have been consumed too much. In addition, it is already deep winter, and it is no longer suitable to continue the war.Therefore, Liu Ming chose to cease fighting.

Of course, he didn't end it so easily. He blackmailed Cao Cao's more than 30 various mines, all of which were in the territory Cao Cao now occupied.His caravan is responsible for mining and transportation, and of course he will pay a certain amount of tax to Cao Cao, but Cao Cao naturally knows that he is losing money.

It's just that this can bring back a few years of peace, and he is willing to see this situation.By the way, he sent his second daughter, Cao Hua, to deepen the marriage relationship between the two...Looking at this cute little loli...Liu Ming said that he had actually graduated from lolicon...but still accept.

Alas, doesn't Lao Cao know that his children can already make soy sauce?Adding such a young mother to them at this time, is this going to be taken by themselves?What if?Or take it? !

Liu Ming on Sima Yi's side wasn't too polite either. Mining was a must, and [-] gold coins worth of various resources or commodities were also needed.As for how to pay it back, that's Sima Yi's problem. Anyway, Liu Ming showed mercy and allowed him to pay in installments... but the interest must be included.

After the war is over, follow-up reconstruction work is naturally the top priority.Especially now that it is winter, how to make the homeless Han people live well in the deep winter is a big problem.For Liu Ming, every Han citizen is an extremely precious existence.

As for the naturalized barbarians, many people demanded to punish these barbarian peoples in the Revenge Army incident.However, Liu Ming put this matter lightly in the name of 'one who doesn't know is not guilty'.

Of course, it is impossible to have no punishment at all. All family members or relatives of the revenge army must accept three years of forced labor.The main content of work is to build infrastructure and environmental protection facilities in major cities. The workload is heavy, there is no salary, and the food is poor.After three years, they will definitely make them want to die, and they will regard the rebellion as a scourge from then on.

If that doesn't work, then there's nothing to say.Only blood can be used to tell them that there is a blood price behind benevolence and righteousness.

"Okay, everyone has worked hard! Now the material is used for reconstruction first, so there is nothing good, everyone will just make do with it! Let's not talk about those disappointing things, let's drink this cup together! Do it!!" At the celebration banquet, Liu Ming held He raised his glass and said to everyone.

"Thank you, my lord!" All the civil and military ministers who participated in the celebration banquet raised their glasses one after another, and they did it with joy and pride.

There is really nothing good about the banquet, let alone good things, I try to sell as much as possible to buy supplies to support those refugees who have lost their homes.It's just that it's not so easy to eat fresh things in this winter.

The dishes are mainly wombat (Chinese cabbage) and radish, and they are still taken out of the cellar.The fruits are only some apples and pears, and it took a lot of effort to get them.But meat is very rich, mutton, pork and fish are available.Forget about the beef, some farm cattle have been transferred out for use, how can you be willing to eat it?

"My lord, I heard that Cao Cao is already preparing to proclaim himself emperor, and Sima Yi has already proclaimed himself emperor. My lord, you have always pretended to be a great general of the Han Dynasty. Didn't it mean that you got hurt by both of them? Therefore, I suggest that your lord should also be called emperor." !" Tian Feng came out to speak out.

It was said to be a celebration banquet, but it was actually a rare gathering of meritorious officials. Some matters could also be discussed at this banquet. Liu Ming didn't want to spend any more time gathering everyone for a meeting.

Tian Feng will retire in a few years, so he at least hopes to see Liu Ming become emperor before retiring.

He was very sorry for the death of the big man. Even if he knew that it would not live for long, when he actually saw it perish, he would still feel very uncomfortable.But it doesn't matter, Liu Ming is a descendant of the orthodox Han royal family, he can learn from Guangwu Emperor Liu Xiu to rejuvenate the Han.

"With my lord, the great man is immortal. My lord is an orthodox man. I can't say much about it, but if I don't proclaim myself emperor for a day, it's still somewhat inappropriate. Therefore, I second the proposal, and I want my lord to become emperor as soon as possible!" Cheng Yu stood up come out.

More people stood up and said that they hoped that Liu Ming would become emperor, but in fact they meant to make Liu Ming fulfill his promise.

After all, when the Chu State was established, everyone had already made such a proposal.However, Liu Ming said at the time that the war was not over and he would not consider it for the time being. Now that the war is over, it is naturally time for Liu Ming to fulfill his promise.

"I said, do you need to be so anxious... Well, it's already deep winter, and the yin is so heavy, but it's not suitable for proclaiming the emperor. First set up a preparatory team and determine the scale... By the way, the scale must not be too large, Otherwise, I would rather not hold the ceremony, but just announce it unilaterally. I will wait until next year when the spring plowing is over, and I will find an auspicious day to complete the whole ceremony!" Liu Ming thought for a while, and still gave a confirmation letter.

"Your subordinate, give me an order!" Guan Ning, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, came out to take orders, which was his duty.

Proclaiming emperor is not a simple matter, let alone a large set of etiquette, after proclaiming emperor, you still need to abide by a series of Han etiquette, it is impossible to be as leisurely as you are now.Unless, he intends to be a foolish king.

The most troublesome thing is other aspects, specifically the issue of Li Hou and Li Prince.Fushou can be regarded as the main wife, but in fact she has no majesty in Liu Ming's palace.But it would be impossible to establish the most dignified Liu Hua or He Ling. Their identities determine that they cannot appear at the front desk.

As for Zhang Ning, needless to say, as the daughter of Zhang Jiao, the leader of the Yellow Turban Uprising, who started to move.Once Liu Ming married her and her identity was made public, it would deal a great blow to Liu Ming's reputation.And Chu State and Cao Cao might take the opportunity to discredit them.

It is a very depressing thing to be a queen, and the prince is even more depressed.

The eldest son, Liu Xi, is not a direct descendant, and can only be regarded as a young child; Liu Neng, who is currently the smartest, is not to mention not a direct descendant, but also relatively young; The children and grandchildren of the family become one, and they know how to balance the contradictions between everyone, and even use everyone's contradictions to raise their own prestige.In terms of popularity, he is the most superior, and his own ability is not far behind.

The daughter doesn't need to think about it for the time being. There is no such thing as a daughter being a prince (female) these days.As for the remaining few who are too young, the specific qualifications cannot be seen at all.

All of this, originally Liu Ming hoped to resolve it slowly over time.Time has passed, which one is more suitable to be a queen will naturally show her ability.Which one is suitable to be the crown prince can also be determined slowly.

Now that the world is still undecided, but it is about to start proclaiming the emperor, the result is that this choice has come too soon...

It's just that Liu Ming knew that if that moment really came, he would have to choose.The harem cannot live without a queen, otherwise palace fights will inevitably appear.Not only the bright parts, but also various dark sides will appear.

The prince can't stand still for a day. The education the prince receives is different from that of ordinary princes. What he receives is emperor studies, which teaches him how to balance various forces. This kind of knowledge is not necessary for other princes to learn.

In many dynasties, the prince's education has not yet started, and the emperor died.As a result, the prince did not learn imperialism from his father, and governed the country according to the basic knowledge. As a result, a faction of a certain courtier was too strong, and finally the power fell to the side. It is not once or twice in history.If one is not good, it is not surprising that the new emperor was abolished.

Forget it... don't think about those for now... There is still about half a year, let yourself think about it, and see if you can come up with a way to achieve both.
