In the summer, the day dawns earlier.

At the beginning of the day, the emperor also got up, and as soon as he finished washing, Zhang Xian, the provincial eunuch in the palace, came to report.

"Everyone, Li Junxian asked to see him, saying that there was an urgent performance."

Li Junxian, as the captain of the pro-army guard mansion, enjoys the privilege of secret music and face to face the emperor here, and his recital does not have to go through the Yintai Tong Political Division, nor does it have to go through the vote of the prime minister of the Political Affairs Hall, let alone the approval of Zhu Zhu, a scholar of the Hanlin Academy.

"Did you say it was a hurry?" The emperor asked while washing his face, and the palace maids stood by and waited, but the emperor has always been accustomed to doing it himself.

The eunuch is the chief of the palace, and the province in the palace is led by the eunuch, who is in charge of all matters of the emperor's life, and is in charge of the six bureaus such as food and medicine.

The Ministry of Internal Service is in charge of conveying the edict, guarding the palace gate, sprinkling and sweeping the inner court, and the cashier of the inner treasury.

Although the two provinces have their own emphasis, the internal service province is mainly based on the scholars as officials, the chief official is the internal attendant, the deputy official is the internal attendant and the internal permanent attendant, who is in charge of the emperor and manages the palace.

The palace province is led by eunuchs, and is in charge of the affairs of the Son of Heaven.

To put it simply, the palace province is the emperor's inner courtier, and the inner province is equivalent to the outer courtier.

All the eunuchs and maids in the palace are under the management of the Ministry of Internal Servants, and at the same time, the Ministry of Internal Services is also responsible for the external affairs of the queen's concubines, such as going out to escort and so on.

The palace province is in charge of the emperor's food, clothing, housing and transportation.

The head of the palace province is called a eunuch, but the eunuch of the palace province also has to be supervised by the inner servant of the inner service province, but the emperor also stipulated that the high-ranking official of the inner chamberlain can only be served by a civil official, and the inner servant is also a civil official, and only the third number of the inner permanent servant is a eunuch.

In this way, at the beginning of the founding of the Great Qin Dynasty, the status of eunuchs had already been stipulated to death.

Among the three inner provinces, the secretary province is all scholars and ministers, the high-ranking officials and officials are civil ministers, and although the eunuchs in the palace province are eunuchs, they are only in charge of the emperor's clothing, food, housing and transportation, and they can't manage court affairs.

As the No. 1 eunuch in the palace now, although Zhang Xian is the third rank, his third rank is completely different from the rank of the hundred officials, and he can only serve in the palace province or the internal service province for the rest of his life, and it is impossible to transfer to other positions.

The emperor deliberately controlled not to let these eunuchs have too much power, he knew that the eunuchs, as the private of the Son of Heaven, even if they had no quality and no position, they also had a great opportunity to have power, after all, they were the people around the emperor.

"Everyone, the slave doesn't know, and I don't dare to ask." Zhang Xian bowed his head and replied, he knew that in front of the emperor, it was best to do his duty and not be too active.

His former eunuch was sent back to his hometown by the emperor's decree because he liked to inquire blindly and made friends with foreign officials.

There was no expression on the emperor's face, but Zhang Xian knew that this was a gesture of satisfaction on the part of the emperor.

"Summoning Li Junxian to the 100-million-year-old hall to face the saint, I will be there later."

Zhang Xian breathed a sigh of relief in his heart and bowed down. Accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger, this sentence is not nonsense, before the Guanzhong Taishou played, saying that on the emperor's Christmas day, the mountains in the county under his rule were shaken, and the mountains shouted long live. As a result, after the emperor saw it, he was furious, and directly asked Zhu Pi, a scholar from Hanlin, to reply, and asked the political affairs hall to dismiss this kind of official who only knows how to flatter and investigate, never be hired, and be expelled from the people.

Zhang Xian knew that person, who was originally an old nobleman in Guanlong, was awarded the title of Taishou of a county in Guanzhong after being attached to the Great Qin, because after the clan chronicle was printed, he felt that the status of the family had declined, so he was a little flustered, and as a result, he made such a song of long live that the mountain called for long live, but the fart was not patted, but it was slapped on the horse's leg.

After the emperor washed, he ate a bowl of millet porridge and came to the Yisui Palace. Li Junxian had been waiting for a long time, and after he met the emperor, he sent a telegram: Someone rebelled.

"Who is going to rebel?" The emperor asked.

The emperor didn't open the secret letter, and asked Li Junxian directly.

"The prison guard Zhonglang will be the eldest son Anye, Hanoi County Cheng Li Xiaochang, Zuowu Weihu Ben general Liu Deyu, Eagle Yang Lang general Yuan Hongshan and others are plotting to rebel!"

"Oh!"

The emperor was very calm after hearing this, and just sighed.

Of the four people named by Li Junxian, the eldest grandson Anye is the half-brother of the eldest grandson Zhaoyi, who is now very favored in the palace, while Li Xiaochang is a member of the Li Yuan clan, as for Liu Deyu and Yuan Hongshan, they were both generals of the Sui Xiaoguo army.

There are man-made rebellions, and the emperor is not unusual.

Although in the previous war of unification, many enemy generals with soldiers and horses in their hands took the initiative to surrender, this does not mean that after he unified the north, no one will rise up to rebel again.

"What is the reason for the rebellion of the eldest grandson Anye?" The emperor asked, picking up the newspaper that the eunuch had prepared for him on the imperial case. Nowadays, there are many newspapers in Daqin, there are as many as 100 large and small newspapers, and the circulation of large newspapers can exceed 10,000 copies, such as the official Oriental News and Luoyang Morning Post, which are the official mouthpieces.

The Oriental News was edited and distributed by the Secretary of the Province, while the Luoyang Morning Post was edited and distributed by the Hanlin Academy, in addition to the Taisheng Journal, which was published by Guozijian, and the Guardian Newspaper, which was published under the auspices of the Ministry of War.

The Oriental News was even stipulated by the imperial court, and each issue was sent to more than 1,000 counties in 22 provinces and 22 provinces in the world through post stations, ensuring that each county had at least one copy, and the 12 armies of the Northern Ya, the 12 guards of the South Ya, the four prefectures, and the 12 prefectures of the internal army should also be sent to the battalion level. The county schools and county schools in every county in the world must also have at least one copy.

It is precisely because of this official requirement that the circulation of the Oriental News is quite amazing, and the sales of at least 10,000 copies per issue are broken.

There are also some small newspapers, which only sell a few hundred copies and 1,000 copies, and even only publish once a month, but they also have the support of many specific groups of people by virtue of their own characteristics.

The emperor liked to read newspapers, and he asked the official to run a big newspaper, to run an influential newspaper, and to control public opinion. At the same time, he did not oppose private newspapers, but he had the government affairs hall issue a decree on the publication of books and newspapers to restrict and regulate the publication and distribution of these books and newspapers.

Every morning, the emperor would go through all the latest newspapers, and he would read them quickly, first roughly scanning them, and then finding something of interest to peruse them.

In the last few issues of the Oriental Daily, the main page is all about the division of feuds, including why the original titles of many vassals should be adjusted, as well as detailed reports on where the princes were divided, why they were divided, and where they were divided.

In fact, Luo Cheng didn't have to guess, he could also think of why the eldest grandson Anye and others rebelled, which was naturally related to this separation.

The eldest grandson Anye, as the half-brother of the eldest grandson Wuji and the eldest grandson Wuji, after the death of the eldest grandson Sheng, the eldest grandson Anye brothers kicked the three eldest grandson Wuji out of the house.

Later, the eldest grandson Wuji married Luo Cheng's concubine, and the eldest grandson Anye even sent someone to mock and insult, saying that the eldest grandson Wuji Niang had lost their face in Henan Province.

But who knew that Luo Cheng, a guy who started with military achievements, could eventually become the emperor.

Fortunately, Guanyin did not hate them because of this, but made an exception for them to intercede with the emperor and seek official positions for them.

Luo Cheng made an exception to grant the eldest Sun Anye as the county prince of Shangdang, awarded him a military position, and then promoted several times, at this time he was appointed as the general of the prison gate, which is the chief of the prison guard in the four mansions of the Southern Ya, responsible for the guard of the imperial city palace gate, I have to say that it is very important.

The title was adjusted before, and the merit of the past was used as the standard for knighthood, rather than the family of the past, so although the eldest grandson Anye was the general of the prison gate, he did not have any credit in the process of opening the country of Great Qin.

So in the end, the eldest grandson Anye's dukedom of Shangdang County was cut and renamed to a fictitious baron, because it was a fictitious title, so he didn't even have a title, only called a baron, except for the point of Juelu, there was neither a fief nor a hereditary.

On the contrary, his brother Sun Wuji, the eldest grandson, had to be crowned the founding marquis of the party, with 500 households and 100 miles of fiefdom.

This made the eldest grandson Anye envious and jealous at the same time.

The change of title and title was not only affected by the royal relatives like the eldest grandson Anye, but also a large number of old nobles and generals, who were also adjusted this time.

Previously, many people belonged to Great Qin, and they still inherited the title of duke and marquis of their ancestors.

But now, with an edict, these people were knocked out of the clouds and fell to the bottom of the mud.

Li Xiaochang, who originally voted for Li Yuan in Huayin Cang, one of the six granaries of Sui, was named the king of the county. Li Yuan perished, he attached himself to Daqin, and then he was demoted all the way, first the county king was demoted to an earl, and then Taishou was demoted to a county prince.

And this time, even more simply, the emperor directly cut his earl, not even a false baron, and even Hanoi Juncheng had to be dismissed, and it was said that he would be given the idle post of county Sima in Yunnan.

Li Xiaochang was very dissatisfied.

Soon, a large group of disgruntled people slowly came together.

"Your Majesty, the eldest grandson Anye and others rebelled, and the evidence is conclusive. The four of them conspired secretly, and also contacted many officials and generals, mostly old nobles. ”

"Your Majesty, do you want to arrest them immediately?"

The Emperor just shook his head.

"What's the hurry, it's just a few clowns who jump off the beam, let them jump up and down for a while, just to see who has bad intentions, you pro-military government keep an eye on it, see how many big fish you can catch this time, just catch them all." If I don't show the power of thunder properly, these people will only think that I am Yang Guang. ”

"Your Majesty, if it gets bigger, will it affect it badly?" After saying this, Li Junxian regretted it a little, whether it affected the emperor or not, it was the emperor's decision, and it was not his turn to speak.

"It doesn't matter, the black sheep always have to be cleaned up, and now that we are just starting to divide them, get rid of some more, and I can divide a few less."

"What you have to do is to keep an eye on them, collect evidence, and remember to ask for ironclad evidence."

As soon as the last clan chronicle was published, countless people were secretly dissatisfied, and this time the subsequent demotion and resealing touched the interests of countless people.

Now, this force is running around, slowly fermenting, but the emperor has decided not to rush to break this pustule.

Maybe it's time to serve these people in a pot, and it will be a scourge to keep them sooner or later.

These people have always refused to have the same heart as themselves, or in other words, they have never really been able to tolerate such a group of old people continuing to eat in his new dynasty, everything has long been doomed, they are irreconcilable contradictions.
