I have been a county magistrate for ten years. My subordinates insist on giving me a yellow robe.

"Meet my emperor!"

In the Golden Palace, countless officials knelt on the ground, and everyone had respect in their eyes.

Half a year has passed since the new emperor ascended the throne. During this period, countless aristocratic families have lost their heads.

All the old cases that had been squeezed out by dynasties were swept away.

All the people that previous kings dared not do or touch were dealt with by the new emperor.

During the six-month purge, hundreds of thousands of people were killed.

Jiang Yuan slowly raised his hand and glanced downwards. Today's court meetings were different from previous ones. Not only were there officials from the dynasty present, but there were also many foreign envoys.

Southern Liang, Dangu, various countries in the Western Regions, and even the Snowy Plateau, which has always been indifferent to worldly affairs, sent people here.

"If you have something to report, please come forward. If not, please dismiss the court." Jiang Yuan said lightly.

"Your Majesty, I, the envoy from Southern Liang, have something to say."

Jiang Yuan showed a sneer on his face. If it weren't for the invasion of the Nanliang army, Ning Fei would not have left, and he would not have come to this point.

However, the country of Southern Liang has always been eyeing the Central Plains and attempting to annex its territory.

I really don't know whether I should thank them or beat them up.

"The envoy from Southern Liang has something to say."

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the Southern Liang envoy stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, during the civil unrest in the Central Plains, Ning Fei promised to cede Yangzhou, Jiangzhou, and Wanzhou to our country."

"Now that the world is at peace, I wonder when the king plans to allow our country to station troops there?"

Jiang Yuan looked at him strangely, and after a long while he slowly spoke: "Words are not enough, do you have any substantial evidence?"

"Yes!" said the Southern Liang envoy, handing over a piece of parchment.

Qin Tianzhu, who was already serving as the imperial sword-bearing guard, immediately stepped forward, took the parchment, and handed it to Jiang Yuan.

Jiang Yuan opened it calmly, took a look, and immediately let out a sigh of admiration.

The signature was from eight months ago, two months after he had set out on the expedition and had already occupied half of the territory of Da Duan. In order to prevent the Southern Liang from sending troops and causing himself to be attacked from both sides, Ning Fei took the risk.

Everything is correct, even the signature is stamped with the imperial seal. This is absolutely unavoidable.

At this time, in the court, the officials of Daxia turned a deaf ear, and some of them even turned red in the face from trying to hold back their laughter.

If you want to take advantage of our Majesty, you are just dreaming!

The envoys from other countries also looked at Jiang Yuan. The attitude of the new emperor would directly determine how they would treat Daxia. If Nanliang could get three states, why couldn't Dangu get it?

"Well, I've seen it, and it's indeed real." Jiang Yuan put down the parchment with a calm expression.

"Then I wonder when Your Majesty is ready to cede the land to our country?" the Southern Liang envoy continued to ask.

Jiang Yuan nodded and said, "Well, as the ruler of a country, I cannot go back on my word. How about this, Qin Tianzhu, you take the Southern Liang envoy with you."

"Your Majesty, where are you going?" Qin Tianzhu looked at Jiang Yuan in confusion.

"Stupid!" Jiang Yuan scolded him angrily, "Ning Fei has already promised him, so he must do it."

"Right now, take the envoys and go find Ning Fei. Ask him to crawl out of his grave and give the three states to him."

Everyone was stunned when they heard this. Didn't Ning Fei die half a year ago? How could they still give him this?

"Your Majesty, as far as I know, Ning Fei seemed to have been killed by Your Majesty half a year ago, right?" The envoy of Southern Liang spoke hurriedly.

It's been half a year, Ning Fei is probably rotten to the bone, where the hell is he going?

"Yes, Ning Fei died half a year ago." Jiang Yuan nodded.

"But you also have to understand one thing. This is what Ning Fei promised you, and it's stamped with their imperial seal."

"This has nothing to do with my Daxia, and even less to do with my Jiangyuan."

"Your Majesty, you are following the great principles..."

"Shut up!" Jiang Yuan stood up suddenly.

"Now that I've given you a solution, you still dare to complain to me? I think you're really here to cause trouble, right?"

"Cough cough!"

"Cough cough!"

A few coughs were heard, and Jiang Yuan looked helplessly at the civil and military officials in the court. He realized that even after becoming the emperor, he couldn't curse people.

"Listen, you have 200,000 soldiers from the Southern Liang at the border, and you intend to harm our Great Xia. Our Great Xia will not tolerate this!"

"Wang Jue and Chen Qing, listen to my orders!"

"The general is here!"

"I order you two to lead an army of 300,000 and choose a day to march. We will not turn back until we have defeated Southern Liang!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the envoys from Southern Liang immediately knelt on the ground in the hall.

"Your Majesty! I have no such intention! Southern Liang has no such intention!"

"Shut up! You didn't kneel down when you came in. It's too late now. Drag you out!" Jiang Yuan said coldly.

As the Southern Liang envoys were dragged out, the remaining envoys immediately lowered their heads.

"Your Majesty, we are here only to congratulate you, and have no other intentions."

"That's good, that's good." Jiang Yuan nodded with a smile.

……

According to historical records, in the second year of Daxia, Chen Qing, Marquis of Huwei, and Wang Jue, Marquis of Zhongyi, led their troops to defeat the Southern Liang Dynasty, captured cities and territories, and went straight to the capital of the Southern Liang Dynasty.

In the third year of Daxia, the territory of Southern Liang was incorporated into the territory of Daxia.

During the sixth year of Daxia, the country enjoyed peace and prosperity, and people all over the world had enough food to eat and enough clothes to wear. This was known in history as the Great Xia Era of Prosperity.

In the eighth year of Daxia, the Human Emperor sent troops to Dangu and destroyed countless cities within half a year.

In the tenth year of Daxia, Daxia became increasingly powerful. The Human Emperor incorporated the grassland into the territory of Daxia and sent troops to the snowy plateau. After two years, he won a great victory!

In the twelfth year of Daxia, the Human Emperor led an army of 500,000 and defeated the countries in the Western Regions. From then on, the world was unified!

……

The territory of Daxia is vast and boundless. All under heaven belongs to the king, and all the people in the world are the king's subjects.

At the junction of the Central Plains and the grassland, there is a majestic city with words engraved on the city gate, named Taiping City.

With the sound of firecrackers, countless people hurried to the city gate.

"Hurry up! I heard the county magistrate is taking office today!"

"Fuck! Our county magistrate didn't even come back to see me. What does he want this for? I want Lord Jiang!"

"Okay, stop talking nonsense. Our county magistrate is now the emperor. How can he care about our little place? I just don't know if this county magistrate has half the ability of our master."

"Humph! I'm not afraid of him if he doesn't have the ability. But if he dares to embezzle, we will definitely report him to the imperial capital!"

"Okay, stop talking and see what the new county magistrate looks like."

At this time, at the city gate, a young man in white was sitting upright on horseback, followed by several young men. One of them was tall and strong, and the other three had a stern face, while the other two were all smiling.

In addition, there was another person with a sword on his waist, and his steps were erratic.

"Brothers, we're here!" Jiang Luoxue looked at the city gate that was so close, and was just about to dismount and walk when a white-haired old man came towards him.

"Uncle Zhao? Why are you here?" Jiang Luoxue quickly turned over and got off the horse.

Zhao Kai, who was already in his seventies, smiled and nodded: "More than that, those old guys are already waiting at the City Lord's Mansion."

After saying that, Zhao Kai smiled at Jiang Luoxue and stretched out a hand.

"County Magistrate, please come in!"
