Chapter 154: The person went there in the morning, but the head was gone at noon!
“Your Majesty, Mencius said: Good governance is not as good as good education. Good governance makes the people fear it; good education makes the people love it!”

“I think that the court should focus on educating Joseon so that it can completely return to its original aspirations and become one with our Daqian.”

“This is in line with the way of the saints.”

After thinking for a moment, Lord Li spoke and could only bring up the issue of education.

“Master Li means that for Korea, we should set up provinces, prefectures and counties and send officials to educate and govern it well?”

Emperor Shunde asked quietly.

“Return to Your Majesty.”

“The Book of Rites says: In ancient times, loving people was the most important thing in governing a country!”

“In today’s world, when a country with ten thousand chariots implements benevolent governance, the people are delighted with it, as if they were freed from the weight of a rock.”

“The Three Dynasties gained the world through benevolence, and lost the world through unkindness.”

“I believe that imposing harsh policies on Korea may fill the national treasury in the short term, but in the long run, the Korean people will inevitably be filled with resentment and rebellion.”

“Only by promoting education can we make the people of Korea fully loyal to our Daqian.”

After all, he was a great scholar of the third realm. After a moment of thought, Lord Li came up with a long speech.

“I think what Lord Li said makes sense.” Upon hearing this, Emperor Shunde nodded slightly.

Then he looked at the ministers in front of him.

“North Korea has just acceded to the throne, and the situation is unstable. We should have a capable minister to govern the country.”

“Only then can I feel at ease.”

“All the important officials in the court are now in the Imperial Study. I wonder which of you would be willing to help me educate the people of Korea and bring them back to their hearts?”

The lowest rank among the people present was a minister of one of the six ministries, and the higher ones were appointed as prime ministers.

Who would be willing to go to a place like North Korea and take up an official title like governor or education commissioner?

It’s just like being demoted and sent away.

Everyone lowered their heads and no one dared to speak.

Even without considering the issue of official position.

Anyone with eyes can see it.

Korea was conquered by Jia Cong, so going there at this time would undoubtedly be like picking peaches.

Just say it!
The man arrived in North Korea in the morning, his head was lost at noon, and the whole family, young and old, set off together at night!
The whole night was not typical of Marquis Jing’an.

“What? No one is talking now?”

“Lord Li, why don’t you appoint a minister to go to Korea?”

Emperor Shunde sneered.

“This…I have not thought it through. I hope Your Majesty will forgive me!”

When Lord Li heard this, he quickly confessed his crime.

Whoever is assigned to go there will be sent to die. This is a life-and-death feud.

“Since no one objects, then let’s follow what Marquis Jing’an said.”

“In Korea, the Andongbu Grand Protectorate will be established, which will govern the four provinces of Pyeongan, Hamgyong, Hwanghae, and Gyeonggi!”

“Establish the Andongnan Grand Protectorate, which will govern the four provinces of Gangwon, Chungcheong, Gyeongsang, and Jeolla!”

“The Northern and Southern Protectorates will each have 20,000 troops stationed there, and all food and wages will be raised by Korea itself!”

“The Protectorate shall have one Grand Protector, of the second rank, and two Deputy Grand Protectors, of the second rank, each serving for three years!”

“The Marquis of Jing’an played a great role in Korea’s surrender.”

“Appoint Jia Cong to concurrently serve as the Grand Protector of the Eastern and Northern Protectorates of An Dong for three consecutive terms!”

“I consider that Marquis Jing’an still needs to cultivate, so I allow him to establish the Grand Protectorate and then return to the capital to handle the government affairs of the Protectorate.”

“Hou Xiaokang, the first-class son of the Xiuguo Mansion, is appointed as the deputy governor of the Andongbei Protectorate!”

“Liu Fang, the first-class son of the Duke of Liguo, is appointed as the deputy governor of the Andongnan Protectorate!”

“Take office immediately and assist Marquis Jing’an in establishing the Grand Protectorate.”

A series of appointments were recorded by the attendants in the imperial study.

Everyone knows that the post of Grand Protector of Andong Protectorate is a lucrative one!
The term is three years, and he can be re-elected for three terms.

Emperor Shunde directly asked Jia Cong to accumulate wealth for nine years before making any further decisions.

He also sent Liu Fang and Hou Xiaokang, who were also from the founding family, to serve as deputy protectors of the Northern and Southern Protectorates.

In this way, everyone is united and there won’t be any obstacles!
The interests involved here are not as simple as what is said in “Three years as a clean magistrate, and one hundred thousand silver coins”.

But no matter how jealous they were, no one dared to refute.

“Your Majesty is wise!”

All the ministers had no choice but to bow in response.

……

贾府
Rong Qingtang: “Mother, mother!”

“I’m so happy, so happy!”

Jia Zheng ran into the house in a hurry.

When Lady Jia saw this, she frowned and couldn’t help but scold her.

“You are already this old, how can you be as reckless as a child? What if you get into trouble? What will you do?”

“That’s what my mother taught me!”

“Just now my son heard outside that a red feather messenger had entered the capital, and Cong Ge’er had won a great victory in Korea.”

“The Joseon capital was captured in one battle, and now the Joseon King Li Yuzhe has surrendered his country.”

“This is the credit for expanding the territory.”

Jia Zheng calmed down his breath for a while and said with joy.

“What? Brother Cong went to North Korea?”

Today the old lady called all the girls in the mansion to Gaole. Sanchun, Daiyu and Xiangyun were all there.

Even Xiaodong’er was called over.

As soon as Jia Zheng finished speaking, he didn’t wait for the old lady to reply.

Yingchun, who was standing by, couldn’t help but exclaim.

Tears suddenly welled up in my eyes.

Then he stood up and walked to the door, saying to the empty place, “Mr. Wen, please show yourself.”

“Greetings, Miss Second!”

Judge Wen descended from the sky.

After Jia Cong left, ghosts and gods remained in the Jia Mansion.

On the surface, there are two judges, the civil judge and the military judge, who have taken action outside the palace and are well-known masters in Shenjing City.

There are also day-wandering gods and night-wandering gods in secret.

There are a total of four ghosts and gods in the third realm.

But on weekdays, only Yingchun and Daiyu could give orders.

Even Jia Mu and others were unaware of the existence of the four ghosts and gods.

“Did Cong go to North Korea?”

“My dear Second Miss, I just received the news that you have already pacified Korea. I think you will be back in a month at most.”

Judge Wen gave a bitter smile.

In order to prevent his sisters at home from worrying, Jia Cong specifically ordered the four great ghosts and gods to block the news before leaving.

“This… How can Brother Cong be so reckless?”

Hearing this, Yingchun knew it.

Jia Cong proposed the marriage proposal at the Korean envoy’s grand court meeting that day.

Go vent your anger.

I was suddenly worried and touched.

“Second sister, Brother Cong is very powerful and is very good at scheming. He must have planned it well before going there.”

“I didn’t tell you because I was afraid you would be frightened.”

“Besides, Sister Bao also went with them.”

Seeing this, Daiyu hurried forward, took Yingchun’s hand and whispered to comfort her.

But the worry and fear on her face were no less than Yingchun’s.

After all, it is still a country.

When Lady Jia saw this scene, she couldn’t help but sigh.

Judge Wen’s sudden appearance startled the old lady.

But then he heard the conversation between the two and knew that they were Jia Cong’s men.

Fly in the air!

A cultivator of the third realm of spiritual cultivation!
It seems that this kind of master is not the first time that Sanchun and others have seen it.

But Grandmother Jia knew nothing about this.

From this point alone, we can see the alienation between Jia Cong and the Jia family.

“Ying girl, Cong has just put down a rebellion and made great contributions to expanding the territory. This is a happy event and we should be happy.”

“Second brother, today the whole mansion is celebrating together, and each servant will be rewarded with one month’s salary!”

After calming herself down, Grandmother Jia smiled and gave instructions.
