Chapter 131 Asking for advice from the king of a fallen country
Li Tian thought about it and decided that he couldn’t keep this guy in Dai Yue any longer!
He must be transferred away!
This guy is a capable official, and his ability to govern the local area is really strong!
Anyway, his achievements are sufficient, so just transfer him back to the Sixth Ministry!
In this way, under his nose, Lu Weibin will not cause any trouble again!
The rest of the meritorious people were also recorded in Li Tian’s small notebook.
Of course, the court approved Rand's memorial.
The rest of the people, including Rand, were granted titles and titles of nobility in Da Yue!
Tang Xiaoren seemed to be dreaming.
His untalented son actually achieved the goal of becoming a noble?
According to tradition, when Tang Xiaoren retires, he will be awarded the title of Duke.
But this title cannot be inherited from generation to generation.
Tang Yan’s territory can be inherited!
And he is a real marquis!
Apart from lamenting his son's fate, Tang Xiaoren could only be grateful for the emperor's grace.
Another important matter in the court was that Li Tian would select officials from the officials in Kyoto to govern the three prefectures and twelve counties of Dai Viet.
Originally, the officials in Kyoto did not want to leave.
Not to mention going to Dai Viet, that would be like exile.
But Tang Yan brought back the Jinna ointment, so the miasma would no longer pose a threat.
More importantly, the whole Kyoto now knows that the emperor likes officials who work hard.
If you perform well in your relocation, you can be promoted.
The top scholar, Lu Weibin, is about to take up the post of Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Rites!
This speed of advancement makes many old Hanlin scholars ashamed.
What does this prove?
Proves that the emperor values performance more!
Many officials who had not had the opportunity to be promoted in Kyoto for many years all began to sign up.
The newly appointed officials from the three prefectures and twelve counties, led by Liu Wenzhe, sailed south.
At the same time, Li Tian also needs to appoint a governor of Dai Viet.
Li Tian appointed an old Confucian scholar who only knew how to read Zhihu in the Hanlin Academy.
He was sent to Dai Viet as governor.
All those selected this time were civil officials.
Li Tian was very satisfied. These guys were all powerless.
I usually talk big.
If we let them control Dai Viet, they might even cause trouble.
That way we can slow down the pace of annexation of Dai Viet!
It would be even more exciting if we could create a large number of rebels!
Li Tian was silently making plans, and the King of Dai Viet, Hu Shengchen, was escorted to Kyoto.
Also coming with Hu Shengchen was Queen Mother Zheng of the Cambodian Kingdom.
Li Tian had no interest in Queen Mother Zheng of the Cambodian Empire.
But Li Tian was very interested in the former king of Dai Viet!
It’s not that there’s something wrong with Li Tian’s orientation.
But this King of Dai Viet is an expert at ruining the country's fortunes!
He is a senior who has experience in losing a country!
Li Tiansi thought carefully and realized that he relied on his experience to ruin the country's destiny.
Need some advice from an experienced senior!
Hu Shengchen is the best candidate!
This guy really ruined a country!
I have to have a good chat with him!
Li Tian immediately issued an edict to confer the title of Prince of Kangle on Hu Shengchen, the King of Dai Yue.
Then Li Tian allocated him a mansion very close to the imperial palace.
Hu Shengchen originally came to Kyoto with the mentality that he would die.
But he did not expect that the Emperor of the Great Zhou would confer the title of Prince on him and grant him a large mansion.
He was even given money to spend every month, and there were no restrictions on his movements.
This really touched Hu Shengchen.
I am a person from a fallen country, but I can be treated like this.
The Emperor of the Great Zhou is indeed a wise ruler with a broad mind!
The king and his ministers of Dai Viet gradually felt relieved, as it seemed that Li Tian did not intend to kill them.
As soon as Hu Shengchen arrived, a eunuch came forward holding an imperial edict and said:
"Announce, Prince Kangle enters the palace for an audience!"
Hu Shengchen was immediately shocked that the Emperor of the Great Zhou was so eager to meet him. This treatment was even better than that of the Queen Mother Zheng of Gao Cambodia who came to pay tribute.
What exactly does the Emperor of Great Zhou want to do?
Hu Shengchen had no choice but to change into new clothes and follow the eunuch to the palace.
"Your subject, Prince Kangle, Hu Shengchen, pays respects to His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Zhou."
Hu Shengchen spoke the Great Zhou dialect very well.
The royal family of Dai Viet has been learning from the Great Zhou, and the royal family has strictly studied Confucian knowledge.
Hu Shengchen is quite handsome and looks about the same age as Li Tian.
"What does Lord Kangle think of Kyoto?"
Hu Shengchen's heart skipped a beat.
This is an obvious question that will lead to your death!
If I say that I miss Dai Viet, I might be dragged out and beheaded!
Fortunately, Hu Shengchen was also a smart man. He immediately said, "During this time of joy, I don't want to think about Da Yue."
This time Li Tian nodded with satisfaction.
Hu Shengchen was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat.
Look at his easy-going attitude, no wonder he could become a king who lost his country!
Li Tian became even more satisfied with Hu Shengchen.
Now back to the topic!
Li Tian wants to ask Hu Shengchen how to ruin the country's destiny!
Li Tian coughed lightly and said, "Give Duke Kangle a seat!"
The young eunuch immediately brought up a chair.
Hu Shengchen took his seat tremblingly.
Li Tian asked directly: "Duke Kangle, can you summarize why Dai Viet was defeated?"
It’s really heartbreaking!
Hu Shengchen felt so humiliated that he wished he could die on the spot.
The Emperor of Great Zhou is so terrifying!
Don’t you, the Great Zhou, know how Dai Viet was destroyed?
I have to say it myself!
Hu Shengchen said with shame: "I have reflected on this myself. The defeat of Dai Viet was all due to my excessive bellicosity."
Li Tian immediately became interested, this was a summary and review from his predecessors!
It is very helpful in figuring out how to ruin the country's destiny!
Li Tian immediately asked: "What do you mean?"
Hu Shengchen almost vomited blood.
But he had to live under the eaves, for the sake of his family and the ministers of Dai Viet.
Hu Shengchen could only say humiliatingly: "Since I took over the throne, I have been waging war against foreign countries, which has exhausted the country's strength."
"They attacked Cambodia again. Their ambitions were too great. It was not surprising that they were finally wiped out by the Celestial Empire's army."
Li Tian nodded repeatedly, I understand!
It's just militarism!
Li Tian asked again: "But I have also been waging wars all the time?"
This time Hu Shengchen couldn't hold it anymore.
He immediately said, "Your Majesty, Da Zhou and Da Yue are different. Da Yue is a small country, and going to war will consume a lot of national strength."
Li Tian nodded then. So that's how it is!
It seems that I have to have a general battle!
Li Tian was very satisfied with Hu Shengchen: "Duke Kangle, please stay in Kyoto. If you have any needs, please tell me!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Not to mention how anxious the king and his ministers of Dai Viet were.
The edict conferring the title of nobility and the new appointment had been sent to Dai Viet.
A total of eleven people were granted the title of marquis!
What’s more, the emperor also let them choose their own territory!
Unsurprisingly, all eleven people chose a place near the sea.
After seeing the tremendous impact of the ocean, everyone understands that coastal areas must be developed!
Even if it is used as a supply point, you can make a lot of money.
Rand's territory was the largest, and he chose a port with pleasant scenery.
There was fresh malt everywhere in the territory, and Rand named this territory Wheat Farm.
