Chapter 207 The Empress Needs the King of Qin’s Promise
Li Jize gave enough face to the envoys from the court!
Not only did he bathe, change clothes, and burn incense, he even led many generals to greet him in person.
As they expected, the imperial edict sent by the empress recognized Li Jize's position as the "Grand Marshal of the Army of the World" and also brought a lot of money and property to reward the three armies.
The generals were unhappy, and the counselors smiled bitterly!
This is the Empress! A woman with big breasts, no brains, long hair and little knowledge.
From the emperor's perspective, the world belongs to me! What's wrong with me rewarding my army?
But from the perspective of Li Jize and his Qin army, why? Which of these soldiers were recruited by you, the Empress? Have you ever given them a penny of pay or a grain of food?
Once the Qin army was established and Li Jize occupied Qingzhou, everything was resolved.
You have the audacity to come here to reward the army. Do you think this army belongs to you?
Li Jize didn't say anything and accepted it all. It was up to you to decide on a reward.
Even when the eunuch further requested that he distribute the rewards to each soldier in person on behalf of the emperor...
Li Jize also said frankly that there was no problem!
The eunuchs were all surprised. They thought that Li Jize would refuse at this point, but unexpectedly... he agreed!
Could it be that everyone has misunderstood Li Jize? He has no intention of rebelling. Is this Qin army truly your majesty's army?
But when they really arrived at the parade ground, he personally distributed silver rewards to the soldiers one by one, saying without hesitation, "This is the reward from His Majesty to the soldiers! Everyone should continue to work hard for the country and for His Majesty!"
result……
He found that this move in the past made the soldiers of the Qi army burst into tears of gratitude.
Some even knelt down on the ground and lamented, "Your Majesty is wise and wise, but the faces of the soldiers were as ugly as they could be."
Some accepted the money with a cold face, while others simply turned their heads away and refused it, preferring to receive the military stick rather than the money!
This scene shocked the eunuchs and made them feel so embarrassed that they couldn't save themselves.
When asked Li Jize, "Why is the King of Qin?"
Li Jize's answer was simple and straightforward, "I have never treated them unfairly, so I don't realize how great I am!"
Have I ever treated these soldiers unfairly? You shamelessly give them this little bit of reward, and you think it's a great reward! In fact, the soldiers feel that you are humiliating them!
The reason why the soldiers were so grateful when you gave them silver in the past was because you owed them their wages!
When default becomes the norm, he will be grateful to you even if he gives you money occasionally.
Not only did Li Jize's Qin army not withhold wages, but the monthly benefits were very generous, and even the families of the Qin soldiers were allocated land.
You are so shameless that you give people some small change like you are giving a beggar, and you expect them to be grateful to you?
Go play with your eggs!
The eunuch was embarrassed, but at the same time he also understood that the Qin army was the Qin King's army! On the surface, Li Jize seemed to be on the side of the court, but in fact the army did not belong to the court, and the court could not command it.
even……
I'm afraid that even money cannot buy off this army.
Why?
The Qin army has faith!
The Qin army not only had a national hatred towards the barbarians, but also had class conflicts towards the empress and the landlord class.
How could they possibly stand on the side of the court?
They were originally victims of your empress's rule. If Li Jize had not given them the opportunity to turn things around, and if they had not put family and country hatred first, they would have destroyed those landlords in the south long ago.
The reason why he did not join the rebel army or rebel was because the King of Qin had bigger dreams.
Well! Since it seems that the army cannot be won over, the eunuch can only try to win over Li Jize.
First, the imperial edict was announced, and then the secret letter from His Majesty was taken out and let the King of Qin read it alone.
Inside the letter, it was from the Empress, calling her so affectionately, "Brother Ze!"
She said that during this period of time, she had been displaced and had suffered a lot of hardships and sufferings before reaching the south. It was very difficult. She often reflected on herself, wondering if her previous actions were right and whether she was a qualified and good emperor.
She felt that the biggest mistake she had made was...
I believed the slander and didn't trust Brother Ze.
She often missed the time when they were children, and she often wished she could go back to when they were little and played happily together.
She hoped that in times of national and national crisis, they could work together to rebuild the glory of Da Qi! Even the throne of the emperor was reserved for Brother Ze!
It has to be said that the empress has awakened and grown a lot after suffering so much.
Of course, the Empress's growth was limited to lying without blushing! She became even better at lying, and her emotions were no longer affected by her emotions.
She could clearly lie and say that she realized her mistakes and asked Li Jize to believe in her and help her rebuild the future of Da Qi. She would definitely work with him to build a better country together in the future.
Can this be true?
Right and wrong!
Did the Empress really know she was wrong? No! Again, she knew she was going to die soon! Her throne was no longer secure!
Once Li Jize easily believed her again, he would really help her consolidate the throne and restore the northern territory of Da Qi.
Do you think she will stab Li Jize again like she did before?
It’s enough for a smart person to be fooled once!
If the empress truly repented, she would not say that the position of "Emperor" was reserved for you. Shouldn't she let Li Jize "take the position according to his ability"?
It is precisely because Li Jize is the most capable person and he wants to be the emperor himself, so he will not obey the empress! Nor will he join them!
But on the surface, Li Jize had to politely say that he had received the empress's instructions and would definitely follow them when the time came.
Very good! Very good!
The eunuch was very pleased with how well Qin Wang Li Jize behaved, always agreeing with the Empress. So, after this, he began to push his luck further.
"Since the King of Qin is still the King of Qin of Great Qi, and still the Grand Marshal of the Army of Great Qi, why not issue a notice and let everyone in the world know?"
The implication is that Li Jize should make his statement clear and let everyone in the world know that you are on the side of the empress and support her!
Of course, this was more to let the other two lords in the south see clearly! The empress now not only has the power of Gao Pan as a "king" to support her, she also has the military support of Qin Wang Li Jize.
If these two families have any strange ideas or want to take action against her, the consequences will be unimaginable.
There's no way around it, because the Empress is now in the position between the two of them.
She won't feel at ease unless she gets Li Jize's clear attitude!
