Chapter 334: Death
After coming out of the palace, Li Zhongyi couldn't help but smile on his face after sitting in the carriage. nā top nā point nā small n ā said,
Two days later, the prisoner was sacrificed, this was Chai Rong's last order, Li Zhongyi understood it in his heart, but all emperors are very particular about civil governance and martial arts.
According to the strategy set by Chai Rong, Li Zhongyi pacified the northwest and expanded the land for thousands of miles. He not only captured the source of the Hetao horses, but also captured the crown prince of Liu Han of Jinyang and the two sons of Tuoba Yiyin.
No matter from which point of view, Li Zhongyi can be said to have outstanding military achievements, and the voice of the Great Zhou Dynasty is powerful outside the territory.
Therefore, Li Zhongyi's incident of accepting his wife is actually a small mistake, which is equivalent to giving Chai Rong a handle, and it also allows Li Zhongyi to get rid of the embarrassing situation of high merit and no reward.
Although Chai Rong promised the post of privy deputy envoy, Li Zhongyi always believed that it was just a phantom.
If Li Zhongyi sits on the throne of the privy deputy envoy now, cough, after Chai Zongxun is in power, facing him who is only in his thirties, but has mastered the power to transfer troops for more than ten years, he will definitely have a headache to death!
The powerful ministers with big tails are more hateful than thieves in the eyes of the emperor!
Therefore, Li Zhongyi took the means of self-defilement, but Chai Rong breathed a sigh of relief, rewarded him with the high lord of the county, and arranged for him to engage in a temporary dispatch without official position.
For a while, Li Zhongyi gained real power, Chai Rong relieved his worries, and everyone was happy!
Before Li Zhongyi, the Great Zhou Dynasty did not have the title of "the right to know the affairs of Kaifeng Mansion", which was generally appointed by the emperor, and the first and second important ministers served as the Yin of Kaifeng Mansion.
Kaifeng Mansion is the Gyeonggi important place of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and it is also the largest city in the world, and its status and importance. It speaks for itself.
Under the roots of this imperial city, there are many powerful people. The "children of the Eight Banners" used their power to bully others and commit treachery and criminal affairs, and they were repeatedly banned.
Due to the long period of peace. The people's livelihood has been restored to a certain extent, and the population of the imperial capital of up to hundreds of thousands has inevitably attracted wealthy businessmen from all over the country to pour into Kaifeng City.
The arrival of merchants will inevitably attract the idle peasants around the city to work, and the foreign population will increase more and more, and while the prosperous market will increase taxes, it will inevitably bring extremely strict hidden dangers to the security inside and outside the city.
Plainly. Li Zhongyi's current status is the mayor of the imperial capital, and the secretary of the municipal party committee is the nominal Liang Wang Chai Zongxun.
On the way home, Li Zhongyi remembered a small paragraph: he was not good in his previous life, but he knew the county in this life; He did evil in the previous life, and he was attached to it in this life; The evil is full of evil, and the provincial city is attached.
Hehe, according to this statement, Li Zhongyi is the prefect. is actually attached to the imperial capital, isn't it going to jump into the river to go to the ball?
The most important task of Kaifeng Mansion, in addition to maintaining law and order, is actually fire prevention!
Because there is no overall planning. The houses in the castle are not only all wooden structures, but also close to each other.
The distance between the streets and alleys in the city is so narrow that it is frightening to death. Once there is a fire, it is a great deal. It is not uncommon for a single fire to burn down several streets.
Yin Liu of Kaifeng Mansion before Zan Jurun. Originally, the career was very good, because the houses in the city were on fire, and the fire spread to the palace, burning down several palaces, and as a result, the hard-won black yarn hat was lost.
Not long after Li Zhongyi returned home, he had just changed into civilian clothes, and he heard a report from the porter, "If you go back to your master, the angel is here." ā
Yes, Chai Rong must want him to take office as soon as possible, so as not to have green hair at home.
Li Zhongyi ordered people to put on the incense case, and at the same time changed into official clothes, and then led the men in the family to listen to the holy edict in front of the steps of the main house.
"Under the door...... Crowned Xuzhou Mu, awarded the Duanming Palace Bachelor, the right to know the affairs of Kaifeng, in addition to the Beijing division left and right compartment army are commanding the envoys, Erqi Qinzai. ā
After the angel pronounced the edict, when Li Zhongyi sent him out, he stuffed a money ticket prepared in advance into the angel's cuff.
When these angels announce the edict on weekdays, they don't receive less things, Li Zhongyi's family background is solid, and his hands are generous, all over the capital, who doesn't know, who doesn't know?
Therefore, although the things given by Li Zhongyi were very light, the angel still smiled brightly.
On the way back to the palace, the angel quietly took out the piece of paper, peeked at it, and couldn't help grinning. This is a commercial money ticket issued by Huang Jingsheng's bank, as long as it is in Huang Ji bank, you can withdraw it at will.
This kind of money ticket, which was set by Li Zhongyi and supervised by Huang Jingsheng, adopted a comprehensive confidentiality method of password, signature and dark flowers.
The money tickets issued by Huang Ji Qian Zhuang do not recognize the person, do not bear the name, do not report the loss, and are deposited and exchanged. This kind of money ticket, in addition to facilitating businessmen's transactions, also invisibly opens the door to quiet bribery.
Today, Li Zhongyi's title is really not young or old. Tejin, Shangzhuguo, Xuzhou Mu, these titles are all fictitious titles, the founder of Xiaoyao County is a prominent lord who enjoys the imperial court, in addition to receiving money on a monthly basis, in the final analysis, it is still a vain head.
Duanming Palace, although it is a three-pin museum position without real power, but this museum position is a necessary place for Li Zhongyi to step into the political affairs hall in the future, and the symbolism is extremely important.
To put it bluntly, only those who have been a high-ranking official who has been a scholar of Duanming Palace, a scholar of Longtu Pavilion, a scholar of Hanlin or a scholar of Hanlin are eligible to ascend to the position of prime minister of the empire.
High-grade pavilion position, this shows that you are already in the emperor's heart, the holy family is quite long, and the future is bright.
This is roughly similar to the logic of the Ming and Qing dynasties, and the non-point Hanlin was not allowed to enter the cabinet to worship the prime minister.
As for the affairs of the Kaifeng government, its political status is even more worthy of special mention.
Since Guo Wei, the Taizu of this dynasty, the rules have been set, and the Yin of Kaifeng Mansion is qualified to attend the public meetings of the political hall (this is a privilege reserved for Chai Rong), and the affairs of Kaifeng Mansion can enter the palace anytime and anywhere.
Because Kaifeng Mansion governs the important land of the capital, all kinds of government affairs in the government are extremely complicated, and they are particularly important and sensitive, so it is completely understandable that Guo Wei gave Kaifeng Mansion extremely special treatment in order to grasp the movements under his nose at the first time, especially the mutiny or civil mutiny.
As for the Xiang Army, which commanded the left and right sides of the Beijing Division, it was an unexpected surprise that Li Zhongyi did not expect in advance.
To put it bluntly, the forbidden army is also the regular army of the imperial court, and the role of the Xiang army is similar to that of the armed police force to assist in maintaining law and order, and the soap servants under Kaifeng Prefecture are the public security police.
Although Chai Rong seized the serious military power in Li Zhongyi's hands, he gave him the power to control the security of the army.
For example, the attitude of the king towards the handle of the sword must be both to use it and to prevent it.
Therefore, the regular forbidden army of the imperial court, its mobilization procedures are extremely complicated, after the emperor gave the transfer of troops to the fish charm, it was agreed by the political hall, handed over to the Privy Council to issue a military order, and transferred to the military department Shangshu countersigned, and the orders were commanded by the envoys, before they dared to lead the troops out of the camp.
However, Li Zhongyi's van army, which was responsible for maintaining law and order, did not have such a complicated troop transfer procedure. As long as Li Zhongyi personally sent the letter to the palace, and after the rotating judge countersigned, he could mobilize the Xiang army to send troops.
Of course, the total strength of the Beijing Division's Xiang Army is only more than 10,000 people, and they are all auxiliary soldiers without armor and no soldiers.
These van troops will definitely not be able to go to the battlefield, and they can only rely on the strength of the crowd and cooperate with the soap servants to catch robbers and bandits.
"Congratulations to you, congratulations to you." As soon as Li Zhongyi returned to Suiyuan, before he entered the wing, he heard the crisp and pleasant congratulatory voice of the folding flowers.
Li Zhongyi couldn't help but smile slightly, under the influence of Ruan's perennial years, Sai Hua'er's political sensitivity was much higher than that of the rest of the concubines.
"Hua Niang, from now on, for her husband, she will go out early and return late, why is she happy?" Li Zhongyi was in a good mood, so he simply teased the flowers.
"Hehe, the husband holds the power of the government affairs of the Gyeonggi Empire, even if he is the second minister of the political affairs hall, I am afraid that he is not as good as the husband." Fold Saihua said a word, but the example given was quite taboo, which made Li Zhongyi cry and laugh.
Alas, this little beauty is not only a fertile treasure land for giving birth to babies, but also a congenital political animal. However, after all, she has been in the northwest region for a long time, how can she know that there are so many taboos in the capital?
Li Zhongyi made up his mind to teach the taboos in the court and the central government well, so as not to cause fire in the future.
The capital is huge, with a population of hundreds of thousands, and the dwellings are crowded. On the other hand, the capital is very small, and the news that Li Zhongyi is about to take office has spread throughout Kaifeng City that night.
When a new official takes office, especially the replacement of the chief official of the first government in the world, he must choose an auspicious day for the emperor in advance, and only then can he take over according to the agreed time and accompanied by the servants of the ministry.
Just when Li Zhongyi was in full swing with the bureaucrats, fighting lawsuits and discussing matters to take office, a major incident suddenly broke out in Kaifeng City.
In the courtyard of the division of the Kaifeng Prefecture, a fire broke out at night, although the soap servants on duty reacted quickly and put out the fire in a timely manner, but all the information of the household Cao was burned clean by the raging flames.
After Chai Rong heard the news, he was furious and directly issued an edict, ordering Li Zhongyi to take over immediately and be sure to find out the truth quickly.
When the angel came to the door, the sky was not still bright, and the gate of the Li family was slammed loudly.
Li Zhongyi, who was sleeping soundly in the United States, couldn't help but smile coldly after learning the news, hehe, he hasn't taken over yet, and he will come unexpectedly.
Good, good, good!
Because it was an edict written by Chai Rong himself, Li Zhongyi did not dare to slack off, and after hurriedly washing and dressing, he led the Yuan entourage and accompanied the angels to the east of Zhengyangmen South Street, where the Kaifeng Mansion was located.
Because it was the time of the early dynasty, with Li Zhongyi's identity and status, once he met the car of the prime minister or the cardinals, he had to avoid the side, and only after their car was finished driving could he continue on the road.
In order to avoid too much delay, after a brief discussion between Li Zhongyi and the angel, they simply abandoned the spacious Government Street, detoured to the Second Sweet Water Lane, passed through Gulou Street, and went straight to the Kaifeng Mansion. (To be continued......)
