The emperor was very satisfied with Pan Yong's words, and Pan Yong, who was smiling, said, "Pan Aiqing, get up." How many of them know what you said? ”

The emperor paused and said: "Some people have been shouting loyalty and patriotism on the surface, but in fact, they are thinking about how to get rid of me so that their masters can ascend to the throne. ”

When the ministers below heard what the emperor said, they quickly knelt down on the ground and said, "The ministers don't dare." ”

And the emperor looked at these people below and was not interested, and then the emperor said to Dai Quan next to him: "I'm not in the mood anymore, you hurry up and announce the decree, it's time to make an end." ”

Dai Quan then took out a random decree from the imperial case and began to read it aloud. Two or three people have been taken down for each of the holy decrees, and after reading more than a dozen holy decrees, half of the people in the court have been missing, and there are only three of the six books standing in the court. The Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Punishment were dragged out just now.

And the military department Shangshu Huotu did not go to the court at all. He had been imprisoned on the first day the emperor entered the capital, and now his whole family was staying in the yamen of the criminal department, and it seemed that there was no chance to come out again.

These are all people who are vassals of the prince, and some have even only met with the prince a few times and received some gifts. It seems that the emperor is preparing to purge the prince's power in the court this time.

There must be something wronged among these people, because the prince sent out an invitation at that time, where did these officials dare not go, maybe just to socialize a few times, but they didn't expect to be suspected by the emperor now, and many people seem to be unable to escape this catastrophe.

Next is the main event, Dai Quan took out a holy decree from the bottom, this time he was a little trembling, it seems that this holy decree is not trivial, Dai Quan read with a crying voice: "Fengtian carries the emperor, the edict says: The prince has no reason, is bewitched by others, does things that are disobedient to people, forces me and the emperor's tomb, has abandoned the relationship between father and son, and the prince and the minister have been abolished from now on, and he will be reduced to a concubine, and he will be circled immediately, and no one is allowed to visit, Qin this." ”

All the ministers of His Highness knelt down together and said loudly: "Your Excellency. ”

This will is only announced now, and the next thing is that the emperor will go to the Temple of Heaven to worship heaven and earth, tell the heavens the reason why he abolished the prince, and then go to the Taimiao to tell the ancestors and ancestors once, and finally tell the world, and at this time all the procedures for abolishing the prince have been completed.

When the emperor saw Dai Quan, he was also a little sad after reading the will of the abolished prince. So he hated those who he thought were traitors who separated their father and son.

His red eyes made another decree: "Huo Tu plotted against him, and the crime of bewitching the prince will not be forgiven, and all the nine clans will be beheaded, and women, children, and children will not be forgiven." ”

In ancient times, there was an amnesty for women and children who killed the nine tribes, saying that they were all beheaded, and for many young women, they were sold into the workshop, and many of them were not killed for babies under the age of one, so that they could follow their mothers to live in the workshop, so that many people were not considered to be the last ones. But this time, the emperor hated these people so much that he personally decreed that no one should be pardoned.

Some of the ministers kneeling below were already sweating profusely. They had never seen the emperor so angry. Some of the old ministers were already trembling. It reminded them of that purge more than a decade ago. But compared to this time, it's still nothing. There were still many fish that slipped through the net that time, and the emperor was magnanimous, and he had already issued several decrees not to pursue them.

In their opinion, the officials at all levels who were locked up by the emperor this time may be more than lucky. The emperor was furious, making people shudder.

After arranging the event, the emperor began to deal with the other two culprits, the original Liaodong Jiedu was Xie Hu, and the former Jiumen Admiral Zhang Chi.

"Liaodong Jiedu made Xie Hu, the commander of the Nine Gates Zhang Chi, attached to the prince with the intention of plotting rebellion, causing the ancestral mausoleum to be shaken, and I almost died in the imperial mausoleum, although the spine is slightly smaller than Huotu, but it cannot be pardoned, and all the nine clans are cut off, but the women are innocent, and the children are still young can be pardoned, so as to avoid their death, and rush into the church."

The ministers below breathed a sigh of relief at this time, it seems that it is the ultimate to deal with the ministers of this rebellion, and the next people are afraid that their sentences will be slightly reduced.

The emperor slowly put away his anger, and looked at the people below who were missing half, and he was also a little afraid. Half of them have something to do with the crown prince, if he hadn't taken Jia Ke with him at that time, I'm afraid he would have fallen asleep in the imperial tomb by now. And most of these people who are still standing are also the ones who abandoned themselves to join the crown prince in the last battle of the imperial tomb, and now they are still kept, just because there is no one in the court at once.

This reminded him of his several loyal ministers, and they should be promoted to high positions, otherwise these people below would not know what to do. In the past, when the scholars were selected, they were all postponed in the imperial court, and the selected talents were determined by themselves, how many of these people were loyal to themselves? And how many were bought by others?

Thinking of this, he decided to put forward the method of reforming the government that he had been thinking about for a long time. Whoever dares to oppose at this time will take his life.

"Since the three scholars who went to the study room have gone to the second one, then when they go to the study, they will not have the ability to deal with the government affairs, and from now on, those who will deal with the government and take charge of the military aircraft will be changed to the military aircraft department."

As soon as the emperor finished speaking, the following ministers were in an uproar, and the emperor abolished the upper study with a word, so I am afraid that the scholars will be a decoration in the future.

"From now on, the Minister of Military Aircraft will be appointed by me personally, and there will be no postponement. As for the place to do things, it is in the Longzong Gate, on the west side of the inner right gate, there is a row of bungalows, which is close to the Yangxin Palace, and it is in the palace, which can ensure that the important affairs of the military aircraft will not leak out. ”

"In the future, there will be no commissioner for the Minister of Military Aircraft, but the Minister of the DPRK and the Central Committee will concurrently serve as the Minister of Military Aircraft, and the military aircraft department will sign the decree and then I will approve the instructions, and the appointment and dismissal of important officials in various places will be discussed by the Minister of Military Aircraft and reported to me, and I will make the final decision. The appointment and dismissal of officers and soldiers in various localities must be drafted by the Military Aircraft Department, and then decided by our instructions. ”

All the ministers of His Royal Highness are all elites, and they listened to the emperor's explanation of the functions of the Military Aircraft Department. It is understood that the Military Aircraft Department has the overall military and political power and has become the highest state organ in power, while the Minister of Military Aircraft is directly appointed by the emperor and is not postponed by Dacheng. From then on, the emperor was able to make decisions and decisions.

The Minister of Military Aircraft is summoned every day, and every day he is not ordered to do things, and he haunts the court. Wherever the emperor moved, the ministers of military aircraft were all on his side. Such power, such grace. Once he becomes the Minister of Military Aircraft, I am afraid that his power will be greater than that of the previous scholars, and it is really a step to the sky.

The Emperor continued: "There are those who rebel and betray the court. Some are loyal, and know that the defenders are at my side. To put it plainly, these people should be promoted to the rank of knight. ”

When the courtiers heard this, they knew that the emperor was going to reward the meritorious ones.

"Shui Xiao, the king of Beijing, was killed by traitors for me, and his throne should have begun to be demoted, but he sacrificed his life for the country this time, and I can't help but reward him, and pass on my will to King Beijing's lineage and extend the royal lord for three generations." When the emperor said this, his voice was a little choked, after all, King Beijing had followed him for so many years, he had always been loyal, and he was in charge of the forbidden army for him, often guarding him by his side.

The ministers standing under His Royal Highness also felt a little uproar when they heard the emperor's reward, even when the country was founded, it was rare for three generations of princes to be seen, let alone now. But today's situation is special, where do they dare to open their mouths to dissuade, but this will, which would normally not be passed at all, was completed in this way, and all the formalities were conveyed.

Then the emperor said: "Marquis of Wuyang, Xuanfu Town Festival Envoy Jia Ke, this time the rescue is meritorious, Teen Zhun Wuyang Marquis will follow the lineage of three generations, and six generations after Jia Ke will be demoted to the rank of lord." ”

When Jia Ke heard the emperor's reward, he hurriedly came out of the class, knelt down and said: "Minister Jia Ke, thank you Lord Longen, from now on there is nothing else to do, but to do your best and die." ”

After listening to Jia Ke's words, the emperor nodded with satisfaction, and then said: "You are my close minister, so don't go back to Xuanfu Town to serve as a festival envoy." ”

After the emperor finished speaking to Jia Ke, he then announced: "Now dismiss Jia Ke's Xuanfu Town Jiedu Envoy, appoint him as the Minister of Guards in the Territory, Commander of the Nine Gates, and Jiedu Jingzhong Second Battalion, whose headquarters includes 50,000 horses in Xuanfu Town and are reorganized into the Ruijian Battalion, and the Xishan Battalion in the three major battalions in the capital is also under its control, and is specially appointed as the Minister of Military Aircraft." ”

When the ministers below heard the title given to Jia Ke by the emperor, they were all shocked for a while. This Jia Ke is simply one step to the sky, and now it can be said that one person is above ten thousand people. In particular, he also mastered almost two-thirds of the soldiers and horses in Beijing, which shows the emperor's trust in him.

And Jia Ke will burst into tears in the hall at this time, and keep kowtowing to the emperor, in fact, he is pretending now, he is a modern person after all, no matter who he kowtows to, he feels awkward, and now kowtowing to the emperor is just to win the emperor's trust in order to get greater rights.

And the emperor didn't know what this guy was thinking, but made an exception and walked down the imperial steps, personally helped him up, took his hand and said: "Aiqing's merit is enough to be rewarded, and it is still a bad treatment for Aiqing." "What the emperor means is that Brother Jia not only has a meritorious contribution to saving the driver this time, but also has the credit of coming to the capital to aid the capital last time, and the sum of the two compartments is not too much this time.

Jia Ke hurriedly bowed down and bowed his hand, "Where do you dare to be such a great favor of the emperor, from now on, I can only do my best to do things for the emperor to repay the emperor's favor." ”

The emperor was very satisfied with Jia Ke's reaction, and after returning to the throne, he began to reward again: "Pan Yong did not abandon me in a moment of crisis this time, and his loyalty is commendable. He was specially awarded the Ministry of Rites and the Minister of Military Aircraft. ”

"Lei Ying, known as talented, is now the secretary of the Ministry of War."

The next thing is that all the soldiers and horses participating in the equal judgment, ordinary soldiers, have at least ten taels of silver rewards. All the generals have the title of false position. Even Wang Ziteng has the title of a first-class general.

However, speaking of this time, only Wang Ziteng has some losses, he originally commanded an army of 150,000 soldiers and horses in the three towns, but now he was divided into a town by the emperor to Jia Ke, but he got a hereditary title of a first-class general is better than nothing, but for people who do not have much ambition, this title is much more important than that town of soldiers and horses, this title can at least allow at least three or four generations of descendants to be nobles, it seems that this is the emperor's compensation to Wang Ziteng.

And Wang Ziteng is also very satisfied with this title, his ancestor was originally a county uncle, but he was later demoted to a knight and no longer has a title in his generation, and his ability to re-knight this time is also an improvement for the entire family.
