Chapter 414: Exiled to the Bitter Cold Land, a Spring Night
Chapter 414: Exiled to the Bitter Cold Land, a Spring Night
"Another one...?"
At this moment, some people in the crowd suddenly had their hearts beating wildly!
"Someone really went to great lengths to pass the test."
"If the performance evaluation method could be so easy, I would just transfer your achievements to you, and the Prime Minister and I would not have to do this."
Qin Ming hadn't finished speaking yet.
Several figures rushed out from the crowd, begging for mercy with tears in their eyes.
"Your Majesty, I know I was wrong!"
"They are the ones who forced me to do this. Your Majesty, please understand!"
……
Everyone took a closer look and gasped.
The group of people who jumped out today are all of high quality.
Sun Wanchen, the assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue, Song Jinlian, the deputy minister of the Ministry of War, Yuan Tinghao, the attendant minister of the Ministry of Rites... when you count them carefully, there are as many as eight people!
But they all came from the Southern Dynasty following Qin Ming!
The saddest thing in the world is that we can share hardships but not happiness.
Many people began to relax after arriving in the capital, and were even corrupted by the original officials of the capital!
"Not bad, you still know how to stand up."
"But I want to know, are you afraid of death, or do you really have a change of heart?"
Cold sweat broke out on the backs of everyone present, and there was a dead silence in the Golden Palace.
The court's military pay was always paid on a monthly basis. Qin Ming even set up a special fund so that he could advance payments to some soldiers when they were short of money.
Compared with the soldiers, Qin Ming gave these officials no less than no more.
A monthly salary that increases every year.
Subsidies, supplies or money during festivals and holidays.
Let their children study in the schools built by the court without spending a penny.
Even the policy of providing subsidies for medical treatment and medicine purchase was promoted by selecting these officials as the first batch of trial options.
But in the end, such good treatment made everyone start to change.
As the ancients said, when one is well fed and warm, he will think of sex. This is true.
Below, Chen Shimao's face looked very ugly.
Among these people, there were even a few who were recommended by him.
But in the end, this situation did not occur without any surprise.
When he thought of this, he felt ashamed.
Qin Ming shook his head slightly, indicating that he didn't need to get involved.
He said to the officials below who were begging for mercy:
"Those who bribe must die, but you... I can give you a choice."
The effect of killing the chicken to scare the monkey has taken effect, and Qin Ming no longer worries about other things. He has other plans for these people.
"From now on, take your families and go to the northern border."
"this……!"
Everyone looked at Qin Ming in disbelief.
The area outside the northern border is a wild and uncultivated land.
Only people from the northern tribes live here.
However, since there had never been any construction, this nomadic people could only plunder all the way south in order to survive.
This led to the years of war between Daqian and them.
In addition, the extremely cold conditions in the north in winter can freeze large numbers of people to death.
This became a place of exile.
The situation is a hundred times more difficult than in the barren Lingnan.
"I go."
Several people exchanged glances and all chose to go over.
This is a chance to survive.
And Qin Ming really wanted to build up the north.
There are many resources in that land.
If it can be developed, the resources in the entire Daqian territory will be greatly supplemented!
By then, the war with Yan Dynasty will be guaranteed.
"it is good!"
"Pack your things and let's go."
Qin Ming didn't even raise his eyelids, waved his hand and spoke.
Everyone left with gloomy expressions.
At the same time, Chang Baishan picked out from the crowd several old officials who had modified the performance evaluation system to record grades.
"Your Majesty, what should we do with these people?"
"Kill them all."
"Yes!"
Shouts and pleas for mercy began to intertwine in the Golden Palace.
Some old ministers even wet their pants out of fear as they saw death approaching.
Soon, everyone was dealt with.
Qin Mingcai finally spoke:
"Let's discuss the matter."
"Yes, Your Majesty..."
The frightened officials now understood Qin Ming's iron-blooded tactics. They dared not say much and hurriedly reported their own responsibilities.
The court meeting ended after a whole morning.
However, the court officials did not leave.
Because something big happened today.
"Everyone, please come this way."
A group of officials from the Ministry of Rites began to take charge and led everyone to the harem for the banquet.
Inside the imperial city, a carriage pulled by eight horses was heading out of the palace.
The surrounding streets have been cleared, and countless people are gathered around the red silk cordons on both sides of the streets, watching the scene curiously.
The carriage stopped in front of Guan Mansion.
Several female relatives gathered in Guan Yue's boudoir to help her draw her eyebrows and dress.
At this time, the children of the Guan family who had been waiting at the door early in the morning ran back chattering.
"Auntie, the carriage is coming!"
Upon hearing this, Chen smiled and looked at Guan Yue, who was wearing a phoenix crown and a red robe.
"Let's go."
Guan Yue is radiant and beautiful today, and her smile is more beautiful than any other woman in the world.
"Ah."
Guan Yue nodded gently and walked onto the carriage surrounded by the crowd.
When the pedestrians watching the ceremony on the street saw Guan Yue, men, women, young and old could not take their eyes off her.
Soon, the carriage entered the palace.
All the court officials stood at the foot of the hall, waiting for the officials from the Ministry of Rites to go through the court procedures.
The enthronement of a queen requires following relatively complicated etiquette.
However, Qin Ming and Guan Yue were not the kind of people who would procrastinate, so under his and Guan Yue's instructions, everything was simplified.
After completing the simplified process, royal family members from all over the country presented gifts.
All the officials followed closely.
Except for a few princes guarding the northern border, almost everyone else was present.
Guan Yue sat beside Qin Ming bored and said:
"When will it end?"
Like Qin Ming, she is not the type to follow the rules, otherwise she would not have followed Qin Ming to Lingnan.
Now, seeing everyone toasting each other and complimenting each other with forced smiles, Guan Yue suddenly felt bored.
"It's dark."
Qin Ming glanced at the sky which was approaching dusk and said softly.
Guan Yue's face flushed.
Everyone knows about the relationship between Qin Ming and Guan Yue, but only they two know that they have never been husband and wife.
Today seems to be the day for the queen to be crowned, but in fact it is the wedding of the two.
Since it is a wedding, there will naturally be a wedding night.
"do I look good?"
Suddenly, Guan Yue raised her head and rubbed Qin Ming with her little feet hidden under the table.
Turning his head, Qin Ming looked at the beautiful little face that he could never get tired of looking at, and suddenly moved closer.
"You...what are you doing?"
"Leaving the party first doesn't seem to be a problem."
Qin Ming chuckled softly, then reached out and held Guan Yue in his arms, and winked at Chang Baishan.
The other party understood what he meant and immediately came forward with several guards to serve the dishes.
Qin Ming blended into the crowd and left with Guan Yue, whose cheeks were blushing.
"Didn't we say it would be tonight..."
Guan Yue in Qin Ming's arms hooked her arms around his neck, bit her lips lightly and asked shyly.
Qin Ming shook his head.
"The ancients said that a night of spring is worth a thousand gold. We are lucky to leave early."
