Chapter 482 Host, Let Me Tell You a Secret
The next day, the spring rain fell softly on the bluestone slabs.
Jiang Yueyang and Lu Yunting each held an umbrella and walked side by side towards the Hall of Supreme Harmony. The officials passing by them walked in a hurry because of the rain.
However, they walked slowly and leisurely, forming a sharp contrast with others and creating a beautiful landscape in themselves.
The officials passing by glanced at it unconsciously and sighed inwardly that the moon has its phases, and people have their joys and sorrows.
It is so rare for two people to be in love with each other.
As the rain got heavier, Jiang Yueyang and Lu Yunting had no choice but to quicken their pace. Soon, they arrived at the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
As soon as they sat down, Emperor Yuan arrived.
As soon as he arrived, he asked Li Fuquan to read out an imperial edict, which contained rewards for Lu Yunting, General Zhang Xiao and others.
Lu Yunting was conferred the title of Marquis of Jifeng, a hereditary title, and in addition he received a thousand taels of gold and silver and two boxes of jewels.
General Zhang was rewarded with a promotion, a mansion, a thousand taels of gold and silver, and two boxes of jewels.
On the surface, Lu Yunting received a greater reward, but in fact, General Zhang received more.
Because Lu Yunting's title originally belonged to him.
The others received due rewards according to the size of their military achievements, from Lu Yunting to the soldiers, everyone received one.
After rewarding the people according to their merits, Emperor Yuan began to discuss with his civil and military officials how to deal with the Turks.
The Left Prime Minister stepped forward first and said, "Your Majesty, Daxia never kills prisoners indiscriminately. I suggest relocating most of the Eastern Turks to the interior of our country and administering them there."
"Then where do you think we should place them?"
The Left Prime Minister immediately replied, "Your Majesty, I think we can place them in the area between Youzhou and Lingzhou."
"Tell me what you think."
"I believe that our dynasty could establish several military governorships in the area from Youzhou to Lingzhou and send officials there to govern them."
Emperor Yuan pondered and asked, "Youzhou and Lingzhou cannot accommodate all the Turks. How should the remaining people be accommodated?"
"Others will remain in their original places of residence, but in the short term, it is impossible for them to fully obey the management of our personnel.
Therefore, I believe that it is possible to establish prefectures and states in Eastern Turkestan, set up military governorates, appoint Turkic nobles as military governors, and give them some autonomy to rule the local tribes.
But they must accept our dynasty's enthronement and jurisdiction, and pay tribute to our dynasty regularly!"
After hearing his words, Emperor Yuan asked thoughtfully, "Do you have a suitable candidate?"
"Among the Turkic nobles, I initially think that Tuli Khan, Ashina Sibo, Ashina Falcon... and others can be appointed as governors." The left prime minister listed several Turkic nobles to him.
Emperor Yuan originally wanted to use a conciliatory approach to deal with the Turks, and the left prime minister's suggestion was exactly what he wanted.
However, he still glanced at the civil and military officials, and asked, open to suggestions, "Do you have any other ideas, my dear ministers?"
Lu Yunting stepped out slowly, clasped his fists, and said, "Your Majesty, although what the Left Prime Minister said has merit, the Turks are ambitious and ruthless. If we grant them too much autonomy, we may cause chaos in the future.
I believe that we can incorporate some of the best Turkic troops into our army and disperse them to various locations for garrisoning. This will both weaken their power and strengthen our military strength.
As for resettlement, we can choose some undeveloped areas in the south and let them cultivate and work there. This will not only increase our output, but also keep them away from their homeland, making it difficult for them to cause trouble."
Emperor Yuan nodded after hearing this. "Both of your suggestions are sound. Why not combine them, combining both strength and flexibility? What do you think?"
"Your Majesty is wise." All civil and military officials responded in unison.
"Then it's settled!"
In this way, the treatment of the Turks was decided.
Emperor Yuan glanced at Lu Yunting and the Left Prime Minister and said, "Let the two of you take charge of this matter."
"The minister obeys the order."
Afterwards, Emperor Yuan looked at Guo Yuanzheng and asked him how the people in the Imperial Hospital were doing in learning the art of witchcraft.
Yuanzheng Guo said that including himself, three other imperial physicians in the Imperial Medical Bureau have gradually mastered the art of witchcraft and are preparing to find someone to test the results.
When Jiang Yueyang heard what Guo Yuanzheng said, she couldn't help but sigh with the system: "I didn't expect that the people in the Imperial Hospital really learned the art of witchcraft!"
[The imperial physicians in the Imperial Medical Bureau are not stupid people. They are willing to study hard and are very interested in witchcraft. It is only a matter of time before they learn it.
But if they want to master Gu Shu thoroughly, given their talent, it will probably take them more than ten or twenty years.] The system is not optimistic about them.
Emperor Yuan did not feel disappointed after hearing what the system said, but felt much more at ease.
Gu magic can be both good and evil. If Guo Yuanzheng and others learn it thoroughly, they might develop inappropriate thoughts.
For example, using witchcraft to control the king.
When Jiang Yueyang was still alive, he didn't need to worry about them using witchcraft to cause trouble, but what if it was a hundred years later?
Therefore, Guo Yuanzheng and his friends only need to learn enough witchcraft to be useful. Learning it too well may actually be a hidden danger.
Considering this, Emperor Yuan looked at Dean Guo and nodded with satisfaction. "Some time ago, Miss Ling'er tried blood transfusion on death row prisoners. Dean Guo might want to follow her example."
"Yes, that's what I planned too."
At this time, Jiang Yueyang's inner voice came out again, [Little melon, do you think that witchcraft is good or bad?]
Gu magic can save lives or harm them; whether it's good or bad depends entirely on the person using it, but it's generally considered a harmful evil.
Jiang Yueyang sighed, "It's no wonder people have such thoughts. After all, as far as we know, the witchcraft we know of is either mind-destroying or mind-controlling. It's terrifying just to think about it."
[Host, don't be afraid. With me here, no poison can control your consciousness.]
As one man and another were talking, there was a loud bang and thunder, startling everyone.
Jiang Yueyang patted his chest and said, "I'm so scared! Why is there thunder?"
She secretly glanced back outside and saw that the rain had stopped for some reason. She was speechless. [Thunder after the rain, how naughty.]
As her voice fell, the thunder seemed to have heard her words and exploded two more times.
Jiang Yueyang was frightened by the thunder again and snorted softly, "Try to hit me again!"
Just give it a try, and another thunder fell from the sky.
Jiang Yueyang: [Hit another one if you dare!]
Boom, boom, boom, Brother Jinglei courageously struck three extremely loud thunders.
Jiang Yueyang was immediately surprised, then smiled slyly after thinking about something, "How nice."
System: [...Host, you are so boring.]
The civil and military officials nodded secretly. They were not bored, but chatting with the thunder and lightning in the sky!
Jiang Yueyang: [I think it can hear what I say.]
【You think too much. 】
It can hear me.
The system sighed helplessly upon seeing this, "Host, let me tell you a secret."
