Chapter 14: Rewarding cronies

In Ji Xuanling's eyes, it doesn't matter how to punish Guo Tianlu.

Regardless of who convicts him, Guo Tianlu and his henchmen have committed many crimes, and they must be sentenced to death according to Qin law.

At present, he must find loyal and reliable capable officials in the imperial court as soon as possible, restore the bureaucratic system destroyed by Guo Tianlu as soon as possible, and pull Daqin's government, military, and economy back from the deviated track.

Only when the court is stable can Daqin be stable.

In the future, his ideas and strategies can be steadily implemented and gradually change the situation of Great Qin's decadence.

In silence, a middle-aged official got up and walked to the center of the hall, hugged Chao Wat and saluted: "Your Majesty, according to the laws of Qin, the autocratic power and chaos of the country, framing Zhongliang, colluding with foreign enemies, poisoning the king, Guo Tianlu needs to be punished by car splitting, and his henchmen should be killed by Ling Chi or beheaded, and the sentence cannot be reduced with a title." ”

Qin law is cruel and harsh, but it is a powerful weapon to ensure the rule of Great Qin.

However, the punishment is not for the doctor, and the officials and nobles with the title of knight have the opportunity to be pardoned for their crimes, but the crimes of Guo Tianlu and other officials are difficult to count, and the sentence cannot be commuted and pardoned.

"Your Majesty, Guo Tianlu's sins are difficult to write, and he has been cut by a thousand knives, and it is not an exaggeration to cut him in public." Some officials pointed out Guo Tianlu's crimes, and naturally some officials echoed them.

Looking at the two officials, Ji Xuanling took a deep breath, there are many degenerate officials in the court, but fortunately, they are usually upright, and they still adhere to their nature and fulfill their duties.

These people, regardless of their talents, are at his disposal at the moment.

After the reform of the Qin State, the system of three princes and nine secretaries was implemented in the court.

Prime Minister, Tai Lieutenant, and Counselor Doctor, were poisoned by Guo Tianlu a few years ago, and were either killed on the battlefield, or sentenced to death, unjustly died, and the position of the third public was vacant.

Jiuqing, namely, Wei Wei, Lang Zhongling, Tai Servant, Tingwei, Dianke, Fengchang, Zongzheng, Shaofu, and Zhisu Neishi.

In addition to Tingwei's self-willed depravity, he became Guo Tianlu's lackey, pawn, Weiwei, and Lang Zhongling also defy the law, Guo Tianlu was arrested, the tree fell and scattered, and they also fell to the law one after another.

Ji Xuanling looked at Fengchang and Zongzheng, and commanded sharply: "Lu Shiming, Yang Xiuwen, punish the crime according to the Qin law, kill those who should be killed, copy the family that should be raided, and send the army to the army, and never tolerate it." ”

"Whoa!"

Lu Shiming, Yang Xiuwen bowed down to receive the order.

At this time, Ruan Xinghe waved his hand and summoned nearly 100 Iron Eagle Ruishi into the palace and took away Guo Tianlu and other criminals.

In an instant, the three princes and nine kings and other officials in the Zhangtai Palace decreased by nearly three percent, and the hall was empty.

However, Ji Xuanling did not relent.

He knew that the throne was not easy to come by, and he must appoint his henchmen to be responsible for guarding the palace and the capital, and he must have clear rewards and punishments to win people's hearts, so as to ensure his personal safety.

What's more, Guo Tianlu fell and went to prison, giving him a bunch of messes, which urgently needed him to deal with it.

According to his ideas, first, the three dukes and nine secretaries were re-promoted to assist him in governing the Great Qin and handling state affairs, so that the court could operate smoothly and the government decrees could be accessed.

Second, reassure the people as soon as possible, and control the harm and panic caused by Guo Tianlu's imprisonment within a limited range.

Third, strengthen the army building, control the Qin state, and bully the foreign state, even if the territory cannot be opened, it is necessary to ensure that the territory of the Great Qin is not violated.

Thinking of this, Ji Xuanling cleared his throat and said loudly: "This time to eradicate Guo Tianlu and his henchmen, Captain Ruan, Captain Yang, and Captain Ji have made great contributions, General Wei and General Yin have also made great contributions, and with the assistance of Zhu Qing, the widow can smoothly pro-government." ”

"Your Majesty, rebel against the ministers and rebel against the country, as a courtier, help the king eradicate the rebellious party, and the final general is duty-bound!" Yin Hong came out of the queue and said with his fists clenched.

Ji Xuanling nodded slightly, sincerely satisfied with what Yin Hong had done, this is a general who can fight well and knows current affairs, which can be of great use.

"Yin Hong listens to the seal."

Yin Hong saluted Ji Xuanling and stood in the center of the main hall with a bow.

"Yin Hong led the troops to fight, known for his military exploits, is the backbone of Daqin, and now serves as a lieutenant, helping the widow deal with the military and politics of Daqin, and another marquis of Wu'an, eating thousands of households."

Seal the marquis, eat thousands of households?

Yin Hong was surprised, and the hundred officials were equally surprised.

The first king died, Guo Tianlu was in power, and in the past eight years, there have been no courtiers in the court.

Today, the king calls Yin Hong the backbone of the Qin State, and the Marquis of Wu An, Long En is mighty!

"King Xie, long live the king, long live long live!" Yin Hong was flattered, and hurriedly clasped his fists and bowed to thank him.

After Guo Tianlu killed the three officials, for several years, the positions of the three princes in the court were vacant, and no one had taken up this important position.

Today, he helped the king to quell the rebellion, and took the initiative to hand over the letter of transfer of troops, although he lost the right to command the army, but he was ranked as the third duke, and the marquis ate thousands of households.

When the position of prime minister was vacant, he became the second most powerful minister of the king.

Yin Hong is happy, and his colleagues are envious.

Ji Xuanling smiled at the corner of his mouth, and continued to command: "General Wei Che is a widow's childhood playmate, at a critical moment, he led the troops to kill the palace eunuchs, the Zhongche Mansion Guard, and protected the safety of the princess, which is indispensable. Sealed as the Marquis of Xinwu, eating 100 households. ”

"King Xie, long live the king, long live the king." Wei Che saluted with joy.

Before the king plotted to eliminate Guo Tianlu, he did not inform him in advance, and it seems that he did not regard him as a close confidant, which made Wei Che disappointed.

However, the court made a marquis for him and handed over 100,000 new troops to him, which was beyond Wei Che's expectations.

The king entrusted him with an important task, and in the future, he would not only be able to enter and leave the court and become a close minister of the king, but also serve as the important task of revitalizing the Qin army.

The king trusted him so much, how dare he live up to the holy will?

Wei Che secretly swore that after taking charge of the new army, he would definitely restore the momentum of the new army and restore the combat strength of the new army.

Ji Xuanling nodded with satisfaction, his eyes shifted to Ruan Xinghe and the others, and ordered: "Ruan Xinghe, Yang Jingluo, Ji Lian Kai helped the widow to kill Guo Tianlu and eradicate the rebels of the imperial court.

Yang Jingluo served as a lieutenant, in charge of the palace gate guards, Feng Yong Wuhou, eating 100 households, Ji Liankai served as a lieutenant, leading 20,000 Black Flag Army, in charge of the security of the Beijing Division, Feng Yi Wuhou, eating 100 households. ”

"King Xie, long live the king, long live the king!"

Ruan Xinghe, Yang Jingluo, and Ji Liankai bowed and saluted, sincerely thanking Ji Xuanling.

They thought that they would be promoted by the king, but they didn't expect that after eliminating Guo Tianlu, they would be able to rank in Jiuqing or hold important positions, and the king would not hesitate to reward them as the marquis.

They are different from the ordinary courtiers, they are both generals in the army and relatives of the court, and now they serve as the king's guards, guarding the palace and defending the royal city, and it is obvious that the king has entrusted his safety to them.

This kind of trust flattered the three of them and made them grateful.

Next to the throne, Zhang Lihua and Ruan Chengcheng suddenly heard that the elder brother of the family, the younger brother, was promoted to Jiuqing and was named the Hou Ye, and couldn't help but look up at each other, and turned his head to look at Ji Xuanling.
