Chapter 887: How to Deal with the Aftermath
As soon as the words of the little emperor and Ying Jieyan came out, all the ministers in the hall were shocked, and everyone also understood the meaning of His Majesty's closing the palace door, where was it worried that too many accounts would scare everyone away, but to prevent the leakage of what happened in the palace. And if His Majesty's guess is true, it is enough to show that this matter is secretly manipulated by someone, and it is likely to cause an incident under the cooperation of the inside and the outside.
"Empress Dowager Qi, the incident happened suddenly, I didn't have time to go into detail, and the unauthorized mobilization of the guards has closed the city gate, please atone for your sins!" Zhao Yu turned around and saluted.
"If it weren't for Your Majesty's alertness, the Mourning Family would have been almost deceived by these villains and wronged Your Majesty, and the matter would have been decided by Your Majesty, and the Mourning Family would have been in charge for you!" Empress Dowager Yang is not stupid, and the little emperor defended himself for a long time, not only clarifying the facts, but also defending his innocence. And there is also a secret joy in her heart, this child has been talking for a long time in fact, it is secretly arranged to prevent radical changes, but she also realizes the seriousness of the matter.
"Empress Dowager Xie!" After Zhao Yu gave the salute again, he turned around and said, "Come on, Shangshu Province will extract Zuozang Feng Chunku, Feng Jichang, Zuo Si Zhengyan Li Lang, Shangshu Province Hufang Langzhong Qi Lin, Wailang Qiao Gui, Shangshu Sun Zheng, and Wang Shen in the Household Construction Courtyard Lang...... Wait for ten people to take it! ”
"Yes!" Chen Dun stepped forward to receive the order, and as soon as he waved his hand, the soldiers of the guard battalion immediately stepped forward and dragged the named officials out of the train, and before they could shout out 'wronged', they had already been gagged and tied up and dragged to the corner of the hall.
"Ni Liang listens to orders!" Zhao Yu nodded again.
"The subordinates are here!" Ni Liang immediately saluted.
"I ordered you to lead the first brigade of the Protector Army to be stationed in the new training camp of the Ministry of War, the second division of the Ministry of Engineering, the first division of the household baggage, and the barracks of the Lin'an Mansion Inspection Division. At the same time, the cavalry brigade was ordered to strengthen the patrol of the city, and anyone who gathered a crowd with a sword was immediately taken. Zhao Yu commanded.
"Subordinate Order!" Ni Liang said without hesitation.
"Your Majesty, you don't have to make such a big move, do you?" Seeing this, Lu Xiufu frowned and said softly. Seeing that His Majesty used the guards to control all the armed forces in the city, it was obvious that they no longer trusted the provinces and ministries, and wanted to use the army to take over.
"Lu Xiang, you should do extraordinary things in extraordinary times, although the current incident has not been investigated clearly, but there are many officials involved, anything can happen, and you still have to be prepared." Zhao Yu turned around and said solemnly.
"Your Majesty......" Lu Xiufu wanted to say something, but swallowed it back, he also realized that the incident was premeditated, and the spearhead was only aimed at the little emperor, if he said more, it would inevitably not arouse the suspicion of the little emperor, so he still shut up.
"Zhou Xiang, you should immediately return to the ordnance prison, strengthen your vigilance, especially the powder magazine, the gun depot, and the artillery depot, stop the allocation and distribution of all weapons, and kill anyone who enters without permission or forcible entry." Zhao Yu nodded at Zhou Xiang and said.
"The subordinates obey the order, and will never let a weapon flow out!" Zhou Xiang saluted, and then left the palace accompanied by the guards and returned to the ordnance warden to sit down.
"Commander Zhang, immediately order the troops stationed around Gyeonggi to return to the camp, take back the talismans, and not leave the camp without a purpose." Zhao Yu said to Zhang Shijie, who had not been silent.
"The minister obeyed the order, immediately sent the edict to the ministries and returned to the camp." Zhang Shijie said.
"Jiang Shangshu, immediately find out whether anyone in the military department is involved, and quickly report the recent change of guard status of the various departments stationed in Gyeonggi." Zhao Yu turned to Jiang Xuan.
"Obey the Holy Command!" Jiang Xuan said.
"Governor Cai, mobilize the officials under the Lin'an Mansion to cooperate with the imperial guards, strictly check the passers-by, monitor the situation in the city, and prevent Xiaoxiao from committing adultery, and all suspects will be temporarily detained!" Zhao Yu looked at Cai Wanyi and said.
"Subordinates obey!" Cai Wanyi stepped forward and said.
"Deputy Commander Hu, you led the Second Regiment of the Guards Brigade to take over the vigilance of the warehouses under the Ministry of Household and the Ministry of Industry, and strengthen the security work of the various ministries and provinces in the Imperial City." Zhao Yu finally pointed to ***.
"Your command obeys!" Stand up and salute.
Those who received the order were ordered to come out one by one, and in addition to those who were trapped and bound in the main hall, the rest were two classes of ministers. Among them, there are those who are panicked, there are those who are idle, and there are those who frown and think about something. More people kept peeking away, as if they wanted to see some clues from the faces of several Zaizhi, but they were disappointed, and their faces were also dazed, helpless and puzzled, obviously not very aware of the current situation.
Zhao Yu also observed the situation in front of him again, and he saw that several Zaizhi seemed to have no idea about the incident, at least Ying Jieyan, Liu Huang and Wen Tianxiang were not involved. And Li Kuan, who provoked the incident, and most of the people who co-signed were officials from the Zuo Division of Shangshu Province, so Lu Xiufu could not escape suspicion, but he did not know about his performance in handling the matter.
What puzzled Zhao Yu was that the people involved in it were also people from the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of Rites, but these people did not have high official positions, they were all officials below the fourth grade, and most of them were newly promoted ministers, and they didn't know them at all, and they were obviously all in the court after they left the court for a period of time. This made him inevitably vigilant, you must know that when he moved to Qiong, in order to be able to control the government, he did not place his ministers in the court, but arranged them in places in order to achieve a balance of power, forcing the courtiers to compromise on some issues.
Of course, Zhao Yu's 'ambition' will not be limited to this, during his stay in Qiongzhou, he also recruited the old ministers of the Xing Dynasty, promoted his close ministers, absorbed the exiled officials and celebrities who defected to the Xing Dynasty, strengthened his team through the method of selecting and training new people through the imperial examination, and sent his own people into the imperial court through the method of 'natural elimination', so that they could infiltrate all levels of the bureaucracy, gradually replace the old ministers through study and experience, and complete the 'exchange of blood'.
After entering Jiangnan, Zhao Yu should say that his wings have been full, and with the increase of territory, the number of affairs has also increased, and it is impossible for him to handle everything in detail as he did when he was in Qiongzhou, so he needs to strengthen the centralization of power around him. Therefore, he wanted to take the opportunity to do the opposite, 'decentralizing' some officials in the central government to the local government as officials, and placing his henchmen and followers in the central government, the key places and the places with heavy financial endowments, so as to strengthen the control of power and promote innovation, so as to form another balance.
However, the Empress Dowager's actions after entering Beijing disrupted Zhao Hao's plan, and she was unable to complete her 'blood exchange' work, so that some non-descendant officials failed to enter the center as scheduled, but were benefited by some old officials who were recruited in Jiangnan and filled the vacancies in various provinces and ministries. Therefore, the current situation in the DPRK and China has become a pattern in which the officials of the DPRK still occupy a strong position, and their own cronies occupy a small half. However, since most of the middle- and low-level officials in various provinces and ministries were released as officials, their own people have not yet had time to fill all of them, but they have become the world of those new officials.
Don't underestimate these middle- and low-level officials in charge of a provincial department or case. As the saying goes, 'the king of Hades is easy to see and the little ghost is difficult to shake', although they cannot participate in the formulation of guidelines and policies, they are the executors and supervisors of these policies, managing all aspects of trivial affairs, playing the role of uploading and disseminating, playing some false decrees, deceiving the upper and lower tricks, and doing some fox and tiger power.
In this way, the current situation between the DPRK and China seems to be the world of the officials of the DPRK on the surface, but in fact it has become a three-point trend in the world. And this delicate situation may be a bit of an obstacle for Zhao Hao, but it is not enough to pose a threat, what worries him is that someone wants to break this delicate situation and become a monopoly, so no matter who it is, it is not what Zhao Yu wants to see.
Because Zhao Yu knows that the dominance of one family will inevitably break the balance. And the political struggle has never been gentle, but it is accompanied by bloody rain, and it will be a chaotic war, no matter who wins or loses in the chaotic war, it is a chicken feather, and in the end it is yourself who is unlucky, and it is the Tartar who is happy. Judging from the current situation, it should have been provoked by the newly promoted officials in Jiangnan, and of course it is not excluded that some old officials of the Xing Dynasty were involved, and they should have seen their intention to adjust the officials, and united with the new officials to provoke trouble in order to maintain their position and power.
Of course, those who started the incident were not stupid, they understood that if they wanted to succeed, they could not let Zhao Hao smoothly pro-government. Because they are aware of their influence in the court and prestige in the army, and the Empress Dowager Yang is a woman and is not good at governance, she can only impeach him before she allows him to govern in person, and forcing the Empress Dowager to force herself to compromise with them and reach a political exchange, so as to improve her status in the court and China to achieve political goals.
Sun Tzu said, "The disease of the torrential water, as for the drifter, the potential is also; As for the destroyer, the energy of water is insignificant compared to the weight of the stone, but because the water produces a huge force in a very short time, it can wash the stone away in an instant. So when Zhao Yu saw the loophole of the song, although he couldn't guess what else was behind the back, he felt that the context was roughly good. Therefore, I am not worried that I will be involved, but that those officials in the provinces and ministries will rise up in response to the voice, paralyzing the government and causing turmoil.
Only then did Zhao Yu prove his innocence through the main hall, one of which could break the reason for their impeachment, and there was no point of force; The two should also make some smart people smell the strange smell, and when people feel cold, they will involuntarily huddle together to keep warm. Of course, the best allies are also colleagues who have lived and died together in Qiongzhou, after all, although they have differences, they have never clashed; Third, he can calmly mobilize the guards to control the situation, creating a posture of a 'Great Purge', so that the other two parties understand that they are not unable to move them, but just want to move them......
"Your Majesty, from the early morning court, it is now past noon, and the Queen Mother must be tired, is it not to adjourn the meeting for the time being, and let the Queen Mother rest and then discuss it." Seeing that everyone in the court was in danger, he was panicked, and he thought about it and proposed.
"Well, that's fine!" Zhao Yu didn't think about how to deal with the aftermath for a while, nodded and turned around and said, "Queen Mother, the court meeting has lasted for half a day, do you want to rest for a while?" ”
"Well, that's fine. The mourning family is also a little tired, so everything will be decided by His Majesty and the ministers! "Empress Dowager Yang actually doesn't know what the little emperor wants to do, but she knows that this country was brought down by him after all, and she will never do anything for such a 'little thing', so she thought about it for a while.
"Retreat!" After hearing this, Dou Xing shouted loudly.
"Congratulations to the Queen Mother!" Zhao Yu and the ministers bowed in unison to send each other off. Empress Dowager Yang left her seat with the support of Dou Xing, but none of the ministers dared to move, and they all looked at the little emperor.
"According to the instructions of the Queen Mother, the ministers can go down to the palace to rest for the time being, and I will arrange meals, but they still can't leave the palace. Those prisoners were also temporarily detained in the Imperial Protector Metropolitan Commandery, pending disposal. After Zhao Yu glanced at His Royal Highness's ministers, he said in a deep voice.
After Zhao Yu finished announcing it, he also quickly retreated to the apse, and the ministers also walked towards the outside of the hall as if they were amnesty, and a few people even ignored the warning of the imperial history of the palace, and rushed out of the front of the zaizhi regardless of the humility. But everyone just laughed, didn't say anything, just lifted their breath, clamped their legs, and quickened their pace towards the room next to the room.
People eat whole grains, of course, not only in and out, but also to solve the problem of excretion, so in fact, everyone is busy with one thing - going to the toilet. Think about standing in the main hall for a long time, who doesn't panic, and in the past this is really a problem. Officials at the court meeting did not dare to drink more water or eat, for fear of going to the toilet at that time. But earlier, because I was worried that the toilet would pollute the air in the palace, there was no toilet in the palace, and it could only be solved after leaving the palace.
In the palace, from the emperor, concubines, and maids to the inner servants, the palace maids are all conveniently using toilets, and there is a convenient basin below, and the people on the top sit on the stool, so that there are special people who will immediately send the excrement out of the palace. Of course, the utensils they use are also divided into three, six, nine and so on, and the luxury and comfort are different.
After Zhao Hao, a freak, came to this world, he couldn't stand going to the toilet like this, and he always felt like he was back in kindergarten, and the children lined up to squat on the potty together. With the implementation of the discipline of 'no open defecation', his problem has also been solved, and he can finally build his own toilet according to his vision, which can inevitably be used when traveling. However, the places where he usually lives have been renovated, and this time the North Palace was renovated, Zhou Xiang was even more intimate to prepare flushing toilets for him everywhere, and the drainage system was renovated to ensure that there would be no odor in the palace.
Of course, Zhao Yu is not an unreasonable person, in his previous life, there were toilets in his home, and there were also public toilets in public places. The ministers are also human beings, and they naturally have needs, so Kai'en specially built public toilets in accordance with modern standards near the court's house, equipped with ceramic flushing toilets, prepared toilet paper, sinks and towels, and there are special guards on duty, in case those courtiers who have drunk too much water and eaten bad stomachs can solve the problem in time, so as not to lose their dignity.
"Wang De, let the two gentlemen come to dinner together!" After Zhao Yu was 'happy', he cleaned his hands, took the towel handed by Wang De and said, he had thought about it while sitting on the toilet just now, and felt that the aftermath should be discussed with them......
