17. Fan Xichao entered Beijing
Five days later, Gao Yue, as the crown prince and prince, personally walked to the gate of the imperial city's slaughtering hall, took over the punishment hall from Zheng Qi's hands, and said that he would do his best to obey it.
For a while, the government and the opposition were shaken, and Gao Yue's move was clearly respecting the power of the Central Hall.
Almost at the same time, Han Hui, the prime minister who stayed in the Daming Palace, went to the Jinluan Palace on the evening of the previous two days, and discussed with the new emperor when he arrived at the Dan, and then Han Hui came out and instructed the Zhongshu House to make a system of human rights and morality, and declared to the court: On the address of the Zuo Wuwei Mansion and Zuo Xiaowei Mansion that are almost abandoned in the northwest of the imperial city, collect timber and wood, and pay money from the treasury Zuozang, and repair 70 rooms for the construction of the "Cardinal Academy". Guo Qiang, the former commander of the city patrol guard, was reactivated, and he was the soldier and horse envoy of the Imperial City Division under the courtyard, and he was in charge of the army and horses patrolling the city;
In addition, the left and right treasures of the treasury originally located in the Lin De Hall in the Daming Palace were relocated to the old place in the east of the imperial city, in which the left Tibetan copper coins, cloth and silk and tributes from all sides, while the right Tibetan was dedicated to storing gold, silver and precious jade, especially the gold and silver coins from the Silk Road trade in the Western Regions, such as the coins of the Sassanid Empire and the Kushan Empire, as well as the gold and silver nuggets from the small countries of Anxi, and the minerals excavated by the imperial court itself in Qinzhou, all gathered here as auxiliary credit currency reserves.
In addition to the annual fixed allocation of the treasury to millions of "imperial money", the income of the emperor's palace, weaving and dyeing and various villages, is also the main source of the southern treasury, and Huo Zhongtang continues to be the envoy of the southern treasury.
From then on, the prime minister's treasury and the inner treasury of the Son of Heaven were officially divided again, and they were clearly separated.
Of course, the most important innovations are as follows:
At the time of the winter solstice, the Bao Dajun who was originally stationed in the area of Suining made Fan Xichao, led eight thousand athletes to camp, set off from Changwu City, and entered the far gate of the imperial capital, and then Fan Xichao rode respectfully to the front of the Daming Palace, and accepted the summons of the new emperor in the Yanying Palace, and Fan expressed his position in the palace, the predecessor of the Bao Dajun "Suining Jiedu Envoy" has always been a national barrier, and now the new policy of Zhenyuan should also be the first in the world, so the first edition of Fan Xichao was returned, saying that the prefectures of Sui, Ning, Jing, and Yuan were completely returned to the imperial court, and the shogunate system was abolished. The imperial court selects civil officials to govern the people.
The new emperor was overjoyed (of course, Fan Xichao had already reached an agreement with Li Yu's party, see above), and named Fan Xichao as the general of Zuo Yingwu, the prince of Tianshui County, and the deputy envoy of the Cardinal's Council, and issued an edict, announcing the establishment of "Longdong Xingzhongshu Province" in the several states guarded by the Bao army, with Pingliang as the meeting house, the former Bao Dajun Shogunate Ministers were given priority to be retained, and entered the provincial government office, as for the governor of Longdong Province (this province is the last level of the three levels, because of its important geographical location, it is the gateway to western Beijing, The emperor and the prime minister were reluctant to raise the status of Longdong Province too high, so that it could be easily controlled), and the new emperor also launched the previous dethroned counselor Yangcheng, with Yangcheng as the inspector and the head of the Ministry of Inspectors, and also served as the "Governor of Longdong Province", and went to Pingliang.
As for the 8,000 generals and soldiers of the Bao army brought by Fan Xichao, they naturally also had an important purpose - they became the first armed force directly controlled by the cardinal of the imperial court, and the transfer of military talismans was expedient in the hands of Jia Tan and Zaitang, who were issued by Zaitang and confirmed by Jia Tan's seal.
The remaining 10,000 Bao troops stayed in Longdong and were under the jurisdiction of the provincial town and military division, becoming a local team and under the jurisdiction of Yangcheng, the governor of the province.
Fan Xichao's move completely shocked Jingshi.
But the situation is far from over.
The children of the 8,000 Bao army, all riding angry horses, carrying sharp blades, from the leadership of Fan Xichao, actually went straight to the north garden of Daming Palace, and most of the left and right troops behind the Shenwei Palace shrank in the camp, frightened and did not know what to do.
You must know that the Bao army, that was with Gao Yue, Wei Gao, and Dangqiang, Xifan and Huaixi Cai Kou completely fought and killed, it was a long-tempered border force that fought all over the field, and the combat effectiveness of the Shenwei Army and the other party were completely one order of magnitude worse!
Soon, Shenwei General Ling Hujian, Liu Chang, Zhang Wanfu and others were summoned by the new emperor, and the new emperor said: "The Shenwei army has been in Beijing for a long time, and it is negligent in management and drills. ”
These generals immediately understood that the emperor was taking the opportunity to reorganize the forbidden army, and the crux of the problem of the Shenwei Army happened to lie in the lieutenant protection system during the period of the Emperor Taishang.
In other words, the new emperor, with the support of the prime minister's group, will completely abolish the system of the Zhongguan Dian in charge of the forbidden army!
It is not good for a warrior to be in charge of the forbidden army, but it is not good for a eunuch to be in charge of the forbidden army.
When Emperor Taishang first ascended the throne, Li Sheng and the others were in charge of the Shence Army, which was the time when the Shence Army was the most combative.
In the historical plane, after the formation of Lieutenant Shence, although he also protected the emperor to a certain extent (at least the abolition of the emperor can be held in the Daming Palace), but the group of eunuchs still has no moral standard in general, they listen to the emperor, but because of this, these domestic slaves actually have no concept of the country in their hearts, it is okay to meet a normal emperor, but when an abnormal emperor, the eunuch is the most powerful accomplice, and even becomes a force to subvert the country. There may be victims of the theism of the stall are jubilant, thinking that as long as the emperor of a certain dynasty (I won't say which dynasty) kills the civil officials, he can pacify the thieves and thieves inside, and remove Di Yi outside, then I suggest that you might as well refer to the late Tang Dynasty, because the late Tang Dynasty is the most perfect template for this group of anthropotheism: the real middle and late Tang Dynasty, even the rebel town of Heshuo understands, "(Xianzong) The reason why the emperor was able to quell the rebellion in Xichuan and western Zhejiang was all the planning of the prime minister (Du Huangshang, Li Jifu, Pei Du, etc.)", once Xianzong let the eunuch Tutu Chengguang take charge of the army, Everyone understands that it is just an armed parade to show the emperor's prestige, so the rebel towns agreed with each other - don't really spit on Tu Chengxuan, because if the blow hurts, the emperor will be angry, and it will be bad if he really reuses the prime minister to pacify us.
Even after Xianzong, as long as the emperor trusted the prime minister to manage the treasury and the three divisions, the country would always have the strength to survive, but it was precisely because the eunuchs and the Shence army were too closely combined that the northern division and the inner treasury controlled by the eunuchs used the armed forces of the Shence army to wantonly encroach on the financial resources of the treasury and the power of the state government agency.
"Fan Xichao chose to retreat for Shenwei, Liu Chang made envoys for Shenwei, and Linghu Jian made envoys for Wumiao." The new emperor Li Yu, who had been prepared for a long time, released a reorganization plan in one go.
