Chapter 281
"Prince Li, you are addressing me wrongly. You are now the King of Great Xia, and the only one in Great Xia who can call himself the King, except me." Li Qingluo did not affirm Li Hao's statement, but only pointed out the mistakes in his words.
"I'm sorry, my identity changed too quickly, and I couldn't react for a while. Please forgive me, Your Majesty." Li Hao scratched his head and said with an awkward expression.
"Okay, I think everyone is very clear about my will. Recently, the rebels besieged the city, and I have had little rest and my spirit is extremely poor, so I decided to go back to the harem to rest for seven days. All matters in these seven days will be handed over to Prince Li to deal with, including the handling of the rebels and the rewards and punishments of officials and generals."
"Don't bother me if there is nothing to do, and don't bother me if there is something to do. I need to have a good rest for a few days. This poor sleep is very unfriendly to women." Li Qingluo narcissistically touched her crystal clear face, and then, with the help of the female official, slowly walked towards the harem.
"During the siege of the city by the rebels, many of the soldiers defending the city were brave and powerful. I don't know how to reward them." As soon as Li Qingluo disappeared, Fatty Cheng immediately stood up and knelt in front of Li Hao and said.
Seeing that Fatty Cheng had taken the lead, all the civil and military officials and generals on the side beat their chests and stamped their feet. Fatty Cheng took all the benefits of flattering Prince Li and winning over the grassroots officers and soldiers.
"The grassroots officers and soldiers fought bloody battles, and their merits were earned by themselves with every sword and gun. No one can be greedy for them. Go and count them for me later. Those who have made contributions must be rewarded generously."
"We must not only reward them, but also publicize them. Let the people of Daxia know what kind of great achievements they have made, and make them heroes in the minds of all Daxia people." Li Hao said with red eyes.
"Also, the names and information of the soldiers who died in the battle to protect the royal city should be recorded. Their pensions should be paid in full to their families. If there are elderly and children in the family, their future lives must be properly arranged. In addition, a monument should be built outside the royal city, and all their names should be engraved on it so that the people of Daxia will remember them." Li Hao thought for a while and continued to add.
"I and others thank the prince for his gift on behalf of the fallen soldiers." As soon as Li Hao finished speaking, all the generals in the Qinzheng Hall knelt on the ground.
A moment later, the crying of a group of men came from the Qinzheng Hall.
Men don't shed tears easily, but they are not sad.
These generals are veterans who have fought on the battlefield for many years. It can be said that they are all killing gods who have killed countless people. Tears are a luxury for them.
But this time, they were moved by Li Hao's small move. With the existence of this monument, which general of Daxia is not willing to fight for Her Majesty the Queen in the future?
"Please stand up, generals. I also started from humble beginnings, so I know the situation of ordinary soldiers very well. They eat the worst food, but do things that are precarious. If it weren't for the passion and patriotism in their hearts, who would risk their lives for such a little silver?" Li Hao said with emotion.
These ancients are so good at fooling people! No wonder those famous generals stood among the soldiers and fed them some poisonous chicken soup to make countless people work for them. The reason is that these ancients were too pure in mind, and they were moved by a little bit of benefit.
"Your Majesty, how should we deal with those captured aristocratic rebels?" Seeing a bunch of soldiers hugging each other and crying there, the left prime minister shook his head and stood up to ask.
"According to the laws of Daxia, how should treason be dealt with?" Hearing the question from the left prime minister, Li Hao immediately asked back.
"According to the laws of Daxia, the nine clans of treason shall be executed." The left prime minister said with a serious expression.
"That's right. List all the noble families who participated in the rebellion. I want to exterminate them one by one." Li Hao said with a cold face.
Although the cause of the incident was caused by his fellow villagers, it is an indisputable fact that these noble families participated in the rebellion.
If they are not dealt with, then these guys will be difficult to manage in the future.
In troubled times, severe punishment should be applied, and those who should be killed must not be spared.
In fact, there is a more important point that Li Hao did not say.
That is, so many meritorious people need to be rewarded this time, which requires a large amount of silver. But the silver and money in the inner treasury of the royal city has reached the bottom, and after thinking about it, they can only take some money from these noble families to enrich the national treasury.
This is also the reason why Li Qingluo asked Li Hao to deal with this matter, because she has no money.
"Prince, you must not do it! These noble families are involved in the rebellion.It's a huge matter. If we kill all nine clans, it will shake the foundation of the country. "Hearing Li Hao's words, the left prime minister's face turned pale.
It seems that his youngest son's wife is the daughter of a noble family. If this is counted, his family will also be implicated.
"Then what do you say? They are guilty of treason. If they are not sentenced severely, it will not have a deterrent effect at all. If we don't handle it well, they will laugh at us and think that we can't do anything to them." Li Hao glanced at the left prime minister coldly, his eyes full of murderous intent.
You old man are so ignorant. You asked me how to deal with it yourself? Now that I said it, you jumped out to oppose it. Are you here to make me unhappy?
"Your Majesty, after screening, it was found that all the big families in the royal city participated in the siege. If we kill all of them, the scope of involvement will be wide, and the whole country may fall into turmoil. "As soon as Li Hao finished speaking, an official from the Ministry of Justice stood up and said.
There are quite a few young masters from aristocratic families imprisoned in the Ministry of Justice this time. The silver he received in this day is more than the total money he has made in all these years as an official.
If such a large source of income is cut off, he will never be able to make a fortune in the future.
"Hehe, I am just informing you about the matter of killing nine clans, not discussing it with you." Li Hao looked at the civil servants who pleaded for the aristocratic families and sneered.
"Fatty Chen"
"I am here" When Fatty Cheng heard Li Hao calling him, he immediately rolled to Li Hao's feet like a ball.
"I order you to lead the remaining city guards to assist General Murong Fu in capturing the remnants of the aristocratic families throughout the process. If there is resistance, kill them without mercy."
