The World of Yellow Sky

The defense of Yecheng was quickly taken over by the Ming army from the Wei army. All the Wei troops in Yecheng put down their weapons and were escorted out of Yecheng.

The camp they built outside the city to house the remnants is now the camp where they are held.

If Xu An wanted to enter Yecheng, he must ensure the safety of Yecheng, so he would not let the original Wei army remain in the city.

Under the protection of a group of Tengxiang guards, Xu An rode a war horse into the corridor of the city gate of Yecheng.

"Is this Ye City?"

Hao Zhao looked at the messy streets and low-rise houses in front of him, with doubts in his eyes.

"Compared to Chang'an, it's really far behind."

In this era, Yecheng is definitely considered one of the best large-scale cities, but compared to Chang'an, the capital of the Ming Dynasty, it is insignificant and pales in comparison.

Today, the central government office of Taiping Road is located in the original Han Dynasty imperial palace, and Chang'an City has undergone a lot of expansion, and it is an optimized version of Chang'an City in the later Tang Dynasty.

It is the exchange center of politics, culture and economy inside and outside the Ming Dynasty.

The road to the Western Regions starts from Chang'an, the road to Shu also starts from Chang'an, and the end point of doing business in Monan is also Chang'an City.

Xu An couldn't help laughing. After tempering in the two counties' military regions, Xu An thought that Hao Zhao must have a calmer personality, but he didn't expect that Hao Zhao would become a lot more detached.

Hao Zhao didn't notice at all that what he said made the faces of the Wei Ting officials who greeted him turn darker again.

However, none of them dared to speak out to refute. They had already lost, and the losers had no right to speak.

March all the way to Yecheng Imperial Palace.

Xu An's eyes moved slightly. Compared with the palace in Chang'an, the imperial palace in Yecheng seemed a little petty, but it was extremely luxurious, but it didn't look like there was a lot of construction going on.

Yuan Shao was not so stupid that he spent a lot of money on pleasure and blessing before he unified the world.

At this time, the main gate of the Imperial Palace in Yecheng had been opened, and on the palace wall of the Imperial Palace in Yecheng, the khaki flags of the Ming army were also planted, while the blue flags of the Wei army had been pulled out and thrown into unknown places. in the warehouse.

The layout of the Imperial Palace in Yecheng is somewhat similar to that of Weiyang Palace, but the proportion is much smaller. Because of this, Xu An couldn't help but feel a little familiar while riding in the Imperial Palace in Yecheng.

Xu An rode a war horse, passed the imperial road, and walked all the way to the front of the main hall of the Imperial Palace in Ye City, surrounded by a group of Tengxiang guards.

In the hall of the main hall, a group of Wei Ting ministers in court clothes and hats had already sat down in the hall. They all knelt on the ground, facing the outside of the hall, waiting for Xu An's arrival.

Chapter 793

Holding the whip in his hand, Xu An stepped into the hall without taking off his armor, let alone his shoes and socks, wearing a war robe.

The dirt on the shoes remained on the originally clean ground of the hall as Xu An walked.

Xu An didn't care about the rule that swords and soldiers were not allowed to enter the hall. He entered this hall of the palace just for a formality.

Behind them, Hao Zhao and Xu Hong held the Yanling knife on their waists and led a group of soldiers of the Tengxiang Guards into two rows, guarding Xu An's left and right.

The soldiers of the Wei army who were originally guarding the hall are now in the Wei army camp outside the city of Yecheng, and the current guards in the hall have already been replaced by soldiers from the Ming army.

Xu An walked all the way to the first seat of the hall, but did not sit down, holding the braid in one hand and pressing the knife in the other.

Xu Hong and Hao Zhao, as well as a group of soldiers of Tengxiang Guard stood under the steps, scanning the Wei Ting ministers in the hall vigilantly.

Xu An raised his eyes and looked at the officials in the hall.

Most of the ministers of the Wei court in the hall were kneeling with their heads down, and no one spoke, but there were also those who raised their heads and glared, and those who looked coldly and fearlessly.

Xu An didn't write down the faces of these people, nor did he have any intention of liquidating.

Anyway, none of these ministers of Wei Ting will use them in the future. Although he has experienced many wars, the accumulation of hundreds of years in Jizhou is still densely populated and extremely rich.

Jizhou is located in the north of the Yellow River, not far from Chang'an, and connected to Bingzhou. It is easy to control and belongs to the inland area, not a place that is difficult to control on the frontier.

There is no shortage of talents in Taipingdao now. After years of educational development, the talent reserve in Taipingdao has already been able to keep pace with the expansion of Taipingdao.

Xu An's gaze finally settled on the judge.

At this time, the judge was standing on the right side of the hall, and beside him stood a young man in white clothes. His brows were clear and his face was as white as jade. The young man was calmly staring at the front, wondering what he was thinking. .

Xu An knew that the boy should be Yuan Shao's youngest son, Yuan Shang.

"Three Kingdoms: Dong Er, Yuan Liu Biography": Shao Ai's youngest son, Shang, is beautiful, but he does not want to show it.

In the original time and space, Yuan Shao was defeated at Guandu, but in fact, his strength was not much weaker than Cao Cao, and he still had a chance to compete for supremacy. Unfortunately, he fell ill later, and committed the biggest taboo in the matter of establishing a reserve .

After Yuan Shao's death, the regime of the three sons was finally defeated by Cao Cao.

The officials in the hall bowed down, and the judge picked up an imperial edict, walked up to His Majesty, and faced all the officials in the hall.

The edict is an edict to abdicate and become a minister.

Yuan Shang gave up the position of emperor of Wei State, announced that Wei State was merged into Ming State, and was canonized by it.

The examiner held the imperial edict tightly with both hands, his body was trembling, and every word he read seemed to consume a lot of his energy.

As the edict was read out, all the Wei officials in the hall bowed their heads and remained silent, even those who looked up and glared, cold-eyed and fearless also lowered their heads at this time, losing all their vitality.

After reading the last word of the imperial edict, the examiner's eyes also lost all luster.

Looking at the silent group of officials in the palace, the judge only felt weak and exhausted.

The moment when the edict was read out, it also represented that Wei State was going to the grave.

From now on, there will be no Wei State in this world, no more Great Wei...

Shen Pei closed his eyes, and he still vividly remembered the high spirits and smug ambitions of the founding of the country.

Dongjun was victorious, and the soldiers entered Luoyang, overwhelming the Han court, and the soldiers were brave, what a heroic spirit.

But after just over two years, everything has taken a sharp turn for the worse.

From the first year of Longwu (193), February [-]th.

In the third year of Longwu (195), June [-]th.

Two years, but everything has changed...

Step by step, the appraiser slowly walked back to the right and left His Majesty.

An Yingwei Qianhu officer in a red eagle and wolf uniform held a silk book in both hands, raised the silk book above his head, and presented it to Hao Zhao who was standing in another place.

Hao Zhao took the silk scroll from Yingwei Qianhu and slowly unfolded it.

His voice is not loud, but because of the special arrangement of the hall, his voice can still be clearly heard by everyone.

Hao Zhao's voice was firm and powerful, and his voice echoed along the walls of the hall in the ears of everyone in the hall.

"Following Heaven and Chengyun Daojun, the imperial edict said: Jin Feng Yuan Shang is the Marquis of Wei, and there are thousands of households in the city..."

After Hao Zhao finished speaking, the entire hall was silent.

Xu An's gaze also stayed on Yuan Shang who was standing behind the judge.

Yuan Shang finally made a move. He raised his head and glanced at Xu An, who happened to meet Xu An's eyes.

Xu An noticed that Yuan Shang's eyes were red, and he knew that Yuan Shang's heart was definitely not as calm as his face.

Although Yuan Shang was young, he was able to control his emotions far better than ordinary children, which also attracted Xu An's attention.

The children of the aristocratic families all received a good education. The more prominent the aristocratic family, the more they valued education, and the gap was caused by this.

However, Yuan Shang only attracted Xu An's attention. He passed the national examination, entered the Army Academy, and selected any one of the national students from the National Academy, which is not necessarily worse than Yuan Shang.

In the city and the countryside, there is never a shortage of talented people.

"I would like to respect the decree of the Taoist monarch."

Yuan Shang knelt down on the ground and took the imperial edict from Hao Zhao's hand.

The examiner supported Yuan Shang to stand up, and wanted to take off the seal on Yuan Shang's body with trembling hands, but failed to remove the seal on Yuan Shang's body after several attempts.

In the end, Yuan Shang untied Xishou himself and handed it over to the judge.

The examiner held the jade seal with both hands and presented it to Hao Zhao, who then presented the jade seal to Xu An.

Xu An took Yuxi from Hao Zhao's hand.

The radius is four inches, and there are five dragons in the upper part, and one corner of the upper part is missing.

Xu An had never seen the Jade Seal of the Chuan Kingdom, but when he got it, he subconsciously knew that this jade seal was not the Jade Seal of the Chuan Kingdom in the rumors.

Xu An is holding the jade seal. According to historical records, the Chuan Guo Yu Seal was acquired by Sun Jian. Regardless of the original time and space, or the current time and space, the Chuan Guo Yu Seal found by Sun Jian should be the real Chuan Guo Yu Seal.

The Chuanguo Yuxi was not privately kept by Sun Jian, but was dedicated to Liu Bian by him and stored in the Chen capital of the Han court.

This jade seal is just a fake seal made by Yuan Shao in order to become famous as emperor.

Xu An turned the jade seal over and looked at the surface of the jade seal. On the surface of the seal were engraved eight characters written in large seal characters.

"Ordered by heaven, you will live forever."

Xu An looked at the eight big characters on the jade seal in front of him, and was a little lost for a while.

He knew that the jade seal in his hand was fake, but when he saw the eight characters, his heart was beating wildly.

Ordered by the sky, life will last forever...

For 5000 years, which man can resist such a temptation.

Xu An tightened his grip on the jade seal in his hand, and then suddenly placed it on the desk beside him.

Yuxi landed on the table and made a soft sound.

All the ministers in the hall raised their heads and looked at Xu An in surprise.

Xu An didn't say much, he held on to the horsewhip, turned his back to the desk, and didn't take another look at the jade seal on the desk.

"Walk."

Holding the whip in his hand, Xu An stepped down from the first seat. He didn't care about any stares, and strode towards the outside of the hall.

A group of guards followed Xu An and filed out.

The sound of messy footsteps resounded in the hall. When Xu An entered the hall, he was holding the horsewhip in his hand, and when he walked out of the hall, he was still holding the horsewhip in his hand.

Xu An stepped on the horse and stood outside the main hall. At this time, the Yecheng Imperial Palace was silent, gloomy and lifeless, as if it also understood its own destiny.

"The palace in Yecheng is sealed off, and it is fully under military control. Except for the palace people, the rest are not allowed to stay in the palace."

"Those who are willing to go back to their hometowns will be given travel expenses to allow them to go back to their hometowns, and those who don't want to go back to their hometowns will stay in the palace temporarily."

"correct."

As Xu An spoke, he also remembered one thing.

In the territory of Taiping Road, the status and income of Ming army soldiers are at a very high level, but marriage is still a big problem.

After all, the Ming army fought abroad all year round. Although there were holidays, they gathered less and left more.

In order to ensure the stability of military marriages and the sense of belonging and happiness of soldiers, Xu An has always vigorously protected military marriages and does not allow anyone to destroy military marriages in any form.

And Xu An gave pensions to the families of the soldiers who died in the army under his command, and supported their heirs, that is, Taipingwei.

Now the ranks of the Ming army are not only regular troops, local troops, but also military soldiers, and some soldiers are not yet married.

"Arrange a blind date in the name of the Privy Council."

"A blind date?"

Hao Zhao was a little puzzled.

"Dare to ask Master, what is the explanation for this 'blind date meeting', the students don't quite understand what it means..."

Xu An was slightly taken aback, but he ignored that there seemed to be no such thing at this time.

The word "blind date" seems to refer to mutual love and closeness in ancient times.

Generally speaking, it seems that both men and women have basically never met each other before they got married, especially the more wealthy the family, the stricter the family education.

Generally, they obey the orders of their parents and the words of matchmakers. Although ordinary people are different from high-ranking families, they are inevitably affected by them.

"Mencius Teng Wengong Xia": "If you don't wait for your parents' orders, or the matchmaker's words, if you peep at each other through the gaps, and follow each other over the wall, your parents and people will be despised."

In ancient times, if you didn't obey your parents' orders, matchmaker's words, and fell in love freely, you would even be despised.

"The so-called blind date..."

Xu An felt that the detailed explanation was a little complicated, so he pondered for a while and said simply.

"There are many maids in the palace. Choose those maids who are innocent, unmarried, and have no relationship with Yuan Shao, and then select unmarried generals from the army, and then go to the same place to get to know each other. If you like each other, Let the Privy Council act as a matchmaker, and make a marriage contract first."

Hao Zhao grinned and made a promise.
