Chapter 175: The First Early Dynasty
The next day, sitting on the top of the main hall on the weekend, looking at the representatives of the families who came below to participate in the morning pilgrimage, and obviously did not sleep well, the mood was even more comfortable.
"It's almost time, Gonggong Song, let's start." The weekend commanded the chief eunuch who read out to the morning court.
Gonggong Song respectfully bowed to the weekend sitting on the dragon chair before he began to read to the jade silk in his hand, "The time has come, and the early dynasty has begun!" In accordance with the decree of the king of Chu, he did not participate in the family today, eliminated the hereditary position, deprived the inner city property, and if he did not comply, he would be enforced. ”
The representatives of the various families who came to participate in the event in a difficult place instantly came to their senses and happily exchanged their heads, "It seems that this time the King of Chu is showing his true character and wants to use the knife against the families." ”
"It's good to hear the news of the Dou clan yesterday, come to participate, otherwise you will be shot."
"Oh no, my friend, I haven't come here today, what can I do!"
"This Adou, why is it so abnormal today, isn't it the Dou clan and the Ying clan who are acting for the government?"
I listened carefully to their speeches over the weekend, regardless of their commotion and thoughts, the current situation must be cut through the chaos quickly, so as to quickly calm down the chaos of the current government and government of the Chu State.
And the few people who control the government, Cheng Jia did not use "jumping candy" to control, but with his brother to restrain him, he must not resist the order, as for the other Dou Pan, Doujiao, and Bao Jia, he has a firm grasp, just waiting for the person who is hiding evil intentions, this time to jump out!
At present, all the governments of Chu are headed by the Ying clan and the Dou clan, divided into two factions, they don't stand up to play, and the people below don't dare to jump around, so there is silence in the hall.
Coughed twice on the weekend and said, "Something to play, nothing to do, this king has something to say!" ”
He first asked Cheng Jiadao, "How much of your own army can be mobilized?" ”
Cheng Jia took a step forward, his brother's life was in the hands of the weekend, and he didn't dare to hide it, and said, "The army of Chu currently has a total of 120,000, 80,000 are stationed at the border, 20,000 are elites, and they are stationed in the Yingdu military camp and can be mobilized at any time, and there are 10,000 city guards and 10,000 forbidden troops. ”
The weekend nodded, and then deliberately stood up, and put the sawtooth sword he specially wore today, so that all the people who came to participate in the early dynasty could see it, this is the first time in history, there is a king with weapons to the early dynasty, the meaning behind this, all ministers, all families understand, and a trace of cold sweat can't help but break out behind them.
However, the four of Doujiao, Baojia, Douban, and Chengjia were not so nervous, they all witnessed it with their own eyes, or indirectly knew about the actions of the gods and men of the King of Chu, and they had no heart to resist for a long time, so naturally they didn't have to worry.
He waited for everyone to notice the sawtooth sword before he issued an order, "All the families who did not come to participate in the early dynasty today are useless for any reason, and it is disrespectful to not obey the orders of this king, if you do not punish them, where is the face of this king, Cheng Jia, this king orders you, take the guards of the Yingdu City, carry out this order, take back the plaques and badges of each family, and if there is a resistant, there will be no mercy!" ”
As soon as the order was issued, Cheng Jia had not yet received the order, and a civil official couldn't help but jump out and ask Zhou Zhou, "Your Excellency the Emperor, the minister thinks that this move is inappropriate, all the families in the inner city have contributed a lot to the Chu State in their history, so they will have today's status, today they can't come in time to participate in the early dynasty, maybe there is a last resort, the king, you do this indiscriminately, it's really chilling, I'm afraid you will have to bear the infamy!" ”
The officials arranged by other families, seeing that someone was taking the lead, also echoed in the crowd, "Please ask the king to take back his order, this move is really inappropriate, and it is very likely to make the already chaotic Chu State even more unbearable!" ”
The ministers of both clans were informed, and they stood by and did not make a statement.
Looking at these officials who shouted to retract their lives over the weekend, the momentum became louder and louder, and they secretly looked at each other, and asked the clerks in charge of recording to write down their names, and then find an opportunity to eliminate the government.
Originally, according to his intentions, it was solved at one time, and there was no need to be so troublesome, but Fan Ji was afraid that King Zhuang's new policy would be unstable, so he adopted this method to eliminate the disloyal.
The officials who echoed the performance, after finishing speaking, felt that something was wrong, and only then did they observe that this morning, there was a special clerk who was recording their conversation, his face turned pale, and he hurriedly did not dare to speak again.
"In addition, from today onwards, this king will take back the power of the Dou clan and the Zong clan to act as the government of the court." After the weekend waited for his voice to naturally weaken, he continued.
The power of Chu is actually very simple, there are not so many intertwined relationships, the major families are only one subordinate, and there are only two main power-holders.
Yesterday's opportunity made the weekend today, the order is very easy, if there is no yesterday's thing, he is ordering now, it is nothing more than asking for his own death.
"Minister's order." Dou Bang, Dou Jiao, Bao Jia, Cheng Jia stepped forward and obediently led the order.
The families felt aggrieved, these two families didn't even have any intention of resisting, what kind of magic did this Zhuang Wang use to make the leaders of the two clans so obedient.
This power was handed back to the King of Chu so easily?
And Dou Bang, Dou Jiao, and Bao Jia They know in their hearts that their lives are in the hands of the King of Chu, can they not surrender, not to mention, the King of Chu is a god.....
"Since there is nothing to do, this morning is the end of the dynasty, tomorrow I want to see the result, retreat!" When watching the weekend, Fan Ji should also get up, he also finished the addiction of the court meeting, and hurriedly planned to announce his retirement from the court.
Cheng Jia suddenly made up his mind at this time, stepped forward, and the families faintly looked forward to it, hoping that Cheng Jia, who held the military power, could refuse to execute, and there were more than a dozen large and small families who did not come to participate, and the families of Yingdu had long been united by the same enemy.
But soon, the major families were dumbfounded, Cheng Jia said to the weekend, "The minister still has something to play, the minister found that among the major families in the country, because of the war, the number of private soldiers far exceeded the original regulations, violating the regulations, please decide!" ”
I didn't expect Cheng Jia to show his loyalty so quickly over the weekend, but this time he offended all the families in Yingdu, he originally planned to deal with this matter after the investigation, but he didn't expect Cheng Jia to propose it today, so it happened to be dealt with together.
He first glanced at each family, and then issued an order, "All families, should abide by the laws and regulations of their own country, within three days, transfer the surplus private soldiers into their own army, expand the strength, the country is strong, the people are strong, now is an important moment for the development of the country, I believe that all families are also reasonable people, otherwise ......." ”
Willing to leave a suspense on the weekend, he didn't say what the punishment was, because he just lacked an excuse to raid the house, these families must be rich, and there must be families who will be reluctant to hand over private soldiers, so that one can kill chickens and monkeys, and the other can enrich the treasury.
He also went to see the palace warehouse this morning, there is more money than his space, but not enough, and he is worried about how to buy food to cope with next year's food disaster!
"It's really the ass that decides the head, I didn't expect me to become so black-bellied..... After retreating, the representatives of the various families who walked out of the hall couldn't help but think when they looked at the dejected heads and angry eyes on the weekend.
