In the Hidden Dragon Villa, Zhao Ji stood in front of the window of the study with his hands in his hands, staring at the big tree outside the window for a long time, although Li Yanqing promised to let him go, but the conditions offered made him a little unbearable, and he actually wanted to be the regent of the prison country, isn't this another Cao Cao?

Gao Shen didn't speak, patiently waiting for Zhao Ji's decision.

Although Zhao Ji was extremely reluctant in his heart, he had no choice, he knew that even if Li Yanqing didn't pass him, he could still be the regent of the prison country, but if he didn't agree, there was only a dead end.

Zhao Ji sighed and asked again, "What other conditions does he have?" ”

"On this condition, if Your Majesty agrees, please make an order as soon as possible, and Your Majesty will be able to live with peace of mind in the future, after all, he is also Your Majesty's concubine, and he will not treat Your Majesty badly!"

Zhao Ji was stunned for a moment, with a wry smile on his face, he actually forgot that Li Yanqing was still his son-in-law.

Zhao Ji nodded, "I know, this is the order!" ”

He walked to the table, spread out a blank edict, took up the pen and wrote down the canonization of Li Yanqing as the regent of the prison state, and restored all his old positions and princes, and finally he stamped his own treasure seal and handed the edict to Gao Shen.

Zhao Ji asked a little sadly: "Gao Aiqing, will you be surnamed Zhao or Li in the future?" ”

Gao Shen saluted slightly, "As long as the Great Song Dynasty is still there, the world will still be surnamed Zhao, Your Majesty take care, Weichen has retired,"

"Will Gao Aiqing come again in the future?"

Gao Shen groaned and said: "In order for Your Majesty to enjoy your old age in peace, it is best for Weichen not to disturb Your Majesty, and I hope that no one will come to disturb Your Majesty!" ”

Gao Shen tactfully persuaded Zhao Ji not to repeat the mistakes of the past, Li Yanqing was not his son Zhao Gou.

Zhao Ji also understood Gao Shen's advice, nodded and said, "Okay! Gao Aiqing, let him pass the past and let us forget about each other. ”

Gao Shen saluted him, turned and walked away quickly.

The gate of the Hidden Dragon Villa was slammed shut, and the guards standing guard at the gate had been replaced by people sent by Li Yanqing, from now on, no one could enter the Hidden Dragon Villa without Li Yanqing's personal order.

.........

On the day that the army entered Lin'an City, Li Yanqing ordered Huang Qianshan, Wang Boyan and Du Chong to be beheaded in the public place of Wulingmen.

The three ministers of Lü Yihao, Fan Zongyin, and Zhu Shengfei were deposed as people, which made the three of them think about it, and the other nine officials, including Qin Hui, were dismissed from all their posts, and together with their families, they were sent to Lingnan to fill the army, and their property was confiscated.

The next morning, 384 court officials gathered in the Daqing Palace, for the first time by voting to elect Fan Zhixu, Gao Shen, Cao Yan, Zheng Wangzhi, Li Gang five people to form the new Zhizheng Hall, Fan Zhixu immediately read out the edict of the Son of Heaven, set up the crown prince Zhao Yang as the new emperor, and read out the will of the emperor, canonized the Jin King Li Yanqing as the regent, the supervisor of the country, because the new emperor is young, it was handed over to his mother Xing to raise.

Li Yanqing immediately honored Xing as the empress dowager, and announced a series of promotions and transfers of court officials, and at the same time gave the court officials a higher level, and promised to solve the problem of the official residences and official residences of all court officials above the ninth rank within half a year.

This is also the most urgent problem of the hundred officials of the imperial court, nearly half of the court officials do not have official housing, can only rely on renting private houses, this series of means of coercion, so that he has the support of most of the court officials.

Of course, the reason why most of the court officials supported him was not that he could bring a little benefit to the court officials, but the real reason was that he opened up territory for the Great Song Dynasty, destroyed the Western Xia, resisted the Jin soldiers, supported justice, avenged the Son of Heaven, and followed the edict of the Son of Heaven to establish the crown prince as the emperor.

Li Yanqing won the trust of hundreds of officials with his practical actions, so when he convened hundreds of officials to discuss the new policy, more than ninety percent of the officials gladly came to the court to report.

In the Zhizheng Hall, Li Yanqing held the first meeting of the Prime Minister.

Fan Zhixu was the right minister and presided over the first meeting of the governor of the country.

"We just put down the coup d'état, and we feel that everything is important and urgent, but no matter what is there a priority, I have thought about it, and at the moment, we need to deal with three things urgently."

Fan Zhixu glanced back at Li Yanqing, Li Yanqing was only responsible for convening and observing, but he did not interfere in the deliberations of the Zhizheng Hall itself, and his power was not reflected here, but the resolutions of the Zhizheng Tang could only take effect after they were approved and printed by him, and he had the right to veto the resolutions of the Zhizheng Tang.

However, in order to improve efficiency and minimize Li Yanqing's veto, Li Yanqing will also put forward his own opinions when discussing major military affairs in the Zhizheng Hall, so that the decision of the Zhizheng Hall will be compromised.

Fan Zhixu continued: "The first thing is to restore order and lift martial law, and we should issue a pardon order to pardon other people who participated in the palace coup.

The second thing is to abolish all the rules and regulations formulated by the puppet court, dissolve the Supervision Bureau, cancel all the rewards of the puppet court, and the large rewards must be recovered.

The third thing is to send a document to the government offices in all parts of the world, asking the chief and deputy officials of all states to take the initiative to express their attitude, support the imperial court, and be loyal to the new emperor. ”

Gao Shen said: "Let me add a little bit!" This official adjustment, many officials who were dismissed by the puppet court have been reinstated, and officials who were promoted by the puppet court have also been dismissed, this result is very encouraging, but this adjustment only involves the imperial court, but as far as I know, officials in the seven state capitals and twenty-three counties near Lin'an Mansion also have this problem, I think this is also a top priority, and it should also be adjusted. ”

Fan Zhixu nodded, "Yes!" Even if it's four points, do you still have any opinions? ”

"I'll say a few words!"

Li Yanqing, who had been silent, said with a smile: "I also have a few things here that are more urgent, so I might as well add them." ”

"Your Highness, please speak!"

Li Yanqing said slowly: "One is the issue of the dismissal of prisoners of war, there are still 70,000 prisoners of war in the barracks, I hope to send them back to their hometowns as soon as possible, about 200,000 yuan and 100,000 stone of grain, money and grain do not need to be taken out by the imperial court, we have enough money and grain in the seized materials, but the imperial court should deal with this matter."

The second is the issue of rewarding meritorious soldiers, according to the usual practice, it should be based on rewarding land, and rewarding meritorious generals should also be rewarded as appropriate, I can take out the plan, I hope that the prefect will pass it as soon as possible, as for the lack of financial resources of the imperial court and the adjustment of officials in the northwest five roads, it can be slowed down and these two things can be solved first. ”

Fan Zhi said with a false smile: "There is no problem in solving these two things of His Highness, but how much food does His Highness still have in his hands, should it be handed over to the imperial court, now the imperial court is so poor that there is no money for the court officials to repair the house, and His Royal Highness also promised to solve the housing problem for half a year, we don't know what to do." ”

Li Yanqing smiled and nodded, "There is not much money and grain, there are about 500,000 stone grain and 5.2 million yuan, this is actually military expenses, and these money and grain cannot be given to the imperial court for the time being."

However, the property of Huang Qianshan and others can be given to the imperial court, everyone may not think, the silver copied out of Huang Qianshan's mansion alone amounted to three million taels, 50,000 taels of gold, and two million copper coins in the cellar, Du Chong's mansion is even more amazing, the silver alone copied out five million taels, according to his son's confession, he served as a shipbuilding envoy for three years, and embezzled two million taels of silver, and there are more than 100,000 taels of gold in his house, these confiscated treasures can be handed over to the imperial court, and I also have a huge fortune will also be handed over to the imperial court. ”

Fan Zhixuan blurted out, "But the confiscated wealth of Western Xia? ”

Everyone laughed, Li Yanqing pointed at Fan Zhixuan and said with a smile: "Who dares to say that you are confused, you still can't forget that wealth!" ”

Gao Shen smiled: "It's not that we don't forget, we should always gain something from destroying the Western Xia!" It is said that their treasury is empty, and where the wealth of Western Xia goes, it must be concentrated in the hands of the princes and nobles, but when these princes and nobles move to Lin'an, they have no money left one by one, so where does their wealth go, isn't it obvious? ”

Li Yanqing said lightly: "This wealth is indeed huge, I personally have not taken a penny, I originally planned to use this wealth as military expenses to recover Hebei and the Central Plains, but now that the situation has changed, I will transport them all back to Lin'an, supplement the imperial court's finances, and use them as the capital for the imperial court to issue new Jiaozi." ”

Everyone was so happy that they rubbed their hands, the finances of the imperial court have indeed been very tight in recent years, especially the huge military expenditures, and the imperial court has been unable to make ends meet, everyone can guess that the wealth of Western Xia is extremely huge, with this money supplement, the life of the imperial court is much better.

Fan Zhixu waved his hand, "Let's talk about the business first, plus the two things that His Highness just explained, then there will be a total of six o'clock, while His Highness is here now, let's vote!" Once approved, implementation can begin immediately. ”
