The spring breeze is gradually rising, the weather is sunny and cloudless.
Early in the morning, Jing'an Hou Mansion, Jingxin Ju No. 2.
Li Zhi'an, who slept for two days and two nights, got up and washed up at this time under the service of the second young girl.
He was so tired, he was busy for more than ten days in a row, and he had just returned home the day before yesterday, and he had a rare good night's sleep, so he seemed refreshed at this time.
Regarding the temporary change of the script by Emperor Xinwu on the day of the enthronement ceremony, Li Le only learned about it afterwards. After listening to it, he was completely confused, who did the emperor learn from this kind of uneasy common sense routine?
Then, Li Le lost his temper under a slight annoyance and helplessness.
Afterwards, he also asked Emperor Xinwu about this matter, and Xinwu's expression was a little embarrassed, and he replied: "Originally, I wanted the people to think that I was different from the emperor and left a good impression on them, so I changed my lines temporarily. Later, listening to the cheers of the people and looking at their appearance, I suddenly became excited, and there was no door on my lips. And then the more I talked, the more I broke the jar, and then it became like this......"
For his mentality, Li Le expressed his understanding, after all, the emperor is just a teenager now, and he is just in charge of the world, and it is reasonable to want to do something unexpected and make people look at it.
So he was very helpless and persuaded: "Supreme, you have to pay attention next time." ”
"I know, I know......"
The next thing is the arrangement and arrangement of specific things after this battle, which of the captured Jianghu people should be imprisoned in the prison, which should be pulled to do coolies, and which heinous criminals should be sent to Taoyuan Mountain for Zhang Xingzhi to do experiments, and these things must be screened and arranged one by one.
Then there is where the headquarters of Xuanyi should be arranged, since it has become an official organization, it is natural to have its own yamen.
At this time, the courtiers began to come over to mix sand, and some people said that since the Xuanyi Forbidden Army had the right to control the punishment and arrest, it should be attached to the name of the Criminal Department or Dali Temple.
Some people say that since Xuanyi has the right to monitor and supervise hundreds of officials, he should work under the command of the imperial yamen. Some people also say that since Xuanyi is a royal forbidden army, it should be controlled by the Ministry of War and the Privy Council. There are many theories, but they are nothing more than the usual methods they usually use, such as putting hoops, mixing sand, and picking peaches.
The emperor was still quite domineering, and directly scolded the courtiers' various remarks, and said: "The Xuanyi Forbidden Army should set up another yamen, if it is like the rest of the yamen, how can I still inspect the world?"
Naturally, the courtiers didn't do it, and some people said, "Could it be that in the eyes of the Supreme Lord, we are all corpses and vegetarians? Could it be that the officials in this great merchant world are all corrupt officials? Could it be that in the eyes of the Supreme Lord, only the Xuanyi forbidden army is loyal to our emperor and has a heart for the people? And these officials who guard the world for the great merchants and do their best are a group of cysts?
Although Emperor Xinwu really thought so in his heart, he couldn't say it, and then said a few words about the scene, and he was false and wronged, but the attitude of Xuanyi was very resolute, and he could not give in, and he smashed down with soft nails and hard fists, but he refused to take half a step back.
The courtiers also realized at this time that the emperor was iron-hearted, and under the instruction of Lin Weizhong's ministers, they gradually compromised.
After that, it was about the Xuanyi construction of the Ya Kai Mansion, and the courtiers deliberately made things difficult, saying that Gyeonggi was the best place in the world, and according to the statistics of the Ministry of Households, if the capital city would have more than 2 million people living there, there would be no extra land to build the Yamen.
Emperor Xinwu patted his head and said, Zhu Xiaojie, the king of Fu'an County, rebelled, and his palace is still empty, so let Xuanyi be used as a yamen.
Then the courtiers were indignant again, saying that it was a matter of royal majesty, and even if the king of the county rebelled, this mansion should also be returned to the royal family, and it should be given to the foreign ministers after the birth of the children of the Holy Son of Heaven?
Then, again, it's a bit of a ritual. Emperor Xinwu's attitude is still very tough, anyway, it is a waste to put it in Nafudi, what happened to the forbidden army that I gave to the forbidden army? I am sympathetic to the suffering of the people and don't want to spend the national currency, is the face of the royal family more important than the stability of the people?
When the new emperor comes to power, he always has to do something unexpected, isn't it like this for two hundred years? Although this new martial supreme has already done a lot of such things......
But so what? Let him do a little at this time, coax him a little bit, it's not a big deal. In the future, if you want to figure it out, there will be time for him to bow his head, and since the Liezong has descended, aren't all the great merchants of the past dynasties like this?
So the courtiers compromised again.
However, the matter of rebuilding the government has just been put on the agenda, and the Ministry of Industry has begun to make a mix, all kinds of prevarication, all kinds of delays, in short, just to disgust you and not to do things for you.
The Ministry of Works' small means Xuanyi Governor naturally doesn't care, okay, you don't come, Lao Tzu rebuilt it himself, so in the thousands of miles of villages, those who are hidden in the world, and now enshrined in the Jiangzuo Courtyard The top architectural masters came, and thousands of Jianghu people who were captured to work as coolies also came over to build the Xuanyi General Office.
At this moment, the officials of the Ministry of Industry were dumbfounded.
Cabinet minister Kong Liqing directly called the Shangshu servants of the Ministry of Industry to reprimand them at home: "Confused! What do you think? If the Ministry of Industry supervises the construction of the Xuanyi Yamen, at least you can leave a secret door or something during the construction, maybe it will be of great use in the future, and now all such calculations have been defeated in the hands of you waste! I don't want to think about how the Qianli Village and Qiuming Mountain were repaired before the Supreme ascended the throne! A bunch of waste, do your best to think about uselessness!"
After this reprimand, the officials of the Ministry of Industry hurriedly came over and began to negotiate with Xuanyi, hoping that they could participate in the construction. But it was pushed back by He Chongguang, the master builder of the General Division.
"I don't have to worry about this matter from the adults of the Ministry of Labor, and the dispatch of the Ministry of Labor will always cost national money, no matter how much, it is also a burden on the people. It's good for us to bear it, and it's also to reduce the country's consumption, and you said, yes or no?"
After several rounds of negotiations, the officials of the Ministry of Industry could only return in a huff.
Then there is the issue of the salary of the Xuanyi Forbidden Army, which Li Le personally talked to Zhou Shenshi, the head of the household department, this time they were not embarrassed, everything was developed according to the salary of the palace guards.
In order not to make such jokes, Yang Junwu, the cabinet minister, took care of the officials of the Ministry of Household Affairs in this way: "When the Supreme has not yet ascended the throne, Xuanyi has already achieved large-scale, will they not receive salaries before this? Even if the Ministry of Household does not pay a lot of money, with Li Zhi'an's ability, Xuanyi can still operate." It's better to be a favor. ”
Then, in addition to the original high salary, Xuanyizhong also took advantage of the household department to have another considerable benefit.
Then, there is the purge of the nobles who participated in the rebellion in the battle for the throne. In this matter, the courtiers were not embarrassed, and the Xuanyi forbidden army opened a killing ring. The other nobles also remained surprisingly silent, becoming the king and defeating the king, risking the lives of the whole clan to do this, since they lost, they had to admit it.
In this process, there are also screening categories, but it is not a one-stop liquidation.
For example, the composer of the Chengguo Mansion, the "Iron Flute Immortal" Guo Yi was not outstanding because of his performance in the battle for the throne, and he was rarely loyal. Afterwards, Dongfang Zhuo, the right superintendent of Xuanyi, met with him in person, and he also took the opportunity to tell the story about Qu Zhisheng's preference for death rather than surrender to the thief, and then after Chu Chongwei protected his life, the Qu family was able to survive.
After that, the Qu family was demoted from a duke to an earl, and the sound of the 'Iron and Blood Eight Captures' song was Changling Bo.
Then all the iron catchers of the Dali Temple Jikou Division were a little surprised, but it was reasonable that Guo Yi was promoted to the official of the Jikou Division, and the former official Yu Huaixin was promoted to the Dali Temple Jikou Middle Hall, specializing in illegal copywriting such as martial arts people.
Guo Yi can be regarded as entering the house.
Regarding all kinds of things about the nobles, Emperor Xinwu did not kill them all through the example of the Qu family, and there were always some innocent people who were screened out by Xuanyi, or exiled, or demoted to commoners.
To the surprise of the uninformed, some of the courtiers were also affected.
The second prime minister Zhao Jishan and his eldest son Zhao Donglou participated in the rebellion, and all the houses were copied. The relatives of the Zhao family, the men were killed, and the women were prostitutes. As for Zhao Jishan himself, he will be tried by the three legal divisions, and after the final conviction, he will be sentenced to death. After all, he has been in the first rank of the dynasty and the second prime minister for many years, so he must be somewhat decent, and he can't just kill like ordinary people.
The verdict came out quickly, and in the face of the new emperor's anger, the officials still did not dare to pass the buck and procrastinate. Zhao Jishan was convicted of confinement on charges of association, embezzlement, fraud, selfishness, rebellion and other crimes.
However, the emperor remembered that he had no merit during his reign, and that he also had hard work, so the sentence was changed to execution after the autumn.
As for Zhao Donglou, Xuanyi said to the outside world that he had died on the battlefield that seized the throne. In fact, it was secretly sent to Taoyuan Mountain to provide materials for new research by the scientific research institute. The perverted monsters under Zhang Xingzhi were crazy.
After the fall of Zhao Jishan and his son, the Beitang Party collapsed with a bang. The disciples of Beitang were in a panic all day long, and those who had connections and ways began to attach themselves to the Surin Party. Those who are ambitious and bold plan to form a new group. There are also many people in the North Hall who began to hibernate, waiting to see the direction of the wind.
However, as Zhao Jishan's confession was finalized one by one, there were really many people who were implicated. So Xuanyiti rode out and began to clean up these officials first.
The purge is still spreading, but basically the style has been set, the damned will die, the unworthy will die, except for a few people who can survive because of special circumstances, everyone else has been crushed by this sudden sharp blade, and the blood is like a tide!
And the executioner is the black torrent.
