After Lou Minzhong pacified the people in Kaifeng Mansion, he ordered Mu Hong and Yan Qing to contact Wang Yan of the forbidden army, and went straight to the bureaucratic offices in the imperial city, and took down Zhang Bangchang and the following cadres. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

After Mu Hong got the general's order, he asked, "I don't know if there are any other officials besides Zhang Bangchang who want to ask?" Lou Minzhong said: "Except for Wen Huanzhang, Gao Yu and the subordinate officials, the rest of the officials will be taken." ”

Yan Qing was slightly shocked when she heard this: "Take it when you see the official?" There may be loyal and righteous people in the number. Lou Minzhong sneered: "The loyal ministers and righteous men all went to Jinying with the second emperor, and those who stayed in the city were all greedy for life and afraid of death, so what's the problem with asking?" What's more, once the son of heaven and a courtier, now that the new emperor has succeeded to the throne, it is time for those corrupt ministers in the court to be replaced. ”

Yan Qing and Mu Hong glanced at each other and understood that this must be Sanniang's idea, which was to take this opportunity to eradicate dissidents in the court and promote their own cronies to control the government. After the two of them answered, they led three hundred guards to handle it.

As soon as the two of them went, a guard came to report that Wen Huanzhang, the privy council in the city, and Gao Yu, the chief lieutenant, had come to ask for a meeting. Lou Minzhong smiled secretly when he heard this: "The lord said before leaving, there is no need to rush to find these two people after entering the city, these two people will come by themselves, as expected." ”

At that moment, the guards were instructed to invite the two into the hall, and when the two came to the hall, Lou Minzhong got up to greet them. When Wen Huanzhang saw that it was Lou Minzhong, he was surprised, it turned out that when Wen Huanzhang accompanied the army to conquer Fang La, he saw Lou Minzhong in front of the battle, and said secretly in his heart: "It turned out to be this person, I don't want the pseudo-prime minister under Fang La's command to be entrusted with a heavy task by the lord." ”

Lou Minzhong saw Wen Huanzhang's face, and guessed a few points, and said with a smile after seeing the ceremony: "The lord uses people, eclectic, when Mr. Wen was against the lord for a long time, the lord was willing to ignore the past suspicions and use it wholeheartedly, not to mention the next?" ”

Wen Huanzhang also smiled when he heard this: "What Lou Gong said is very true, but he is thinking about it. Gao Yu didn't know why he said: "The two know each other? Wen Huanzhang said with a smile: "But it's an old acquaintance who doesn't know each other, and this is not the time to catch up with the past, let's get down to business first." ”

At that moment, Wen Huanzhang was introduced, and after the three of them greeted each other, they sat down. Before he sat down, Gao Yu said anxiously: "Now that Duke Lou has led the army into the city, he has heard the edict of the new monarch, and the prince has guarded Kaifeng and stabilized the situation in Kaifeng, but I don't know what arrangements my two lords have." ”

Lou Minzhong smiled slightly, took out a wax pill from his arms, handed it over, and said: "The lord is now leading the army to conquer the Jin army, and he is not as good as the doppelganger, before leaving, there is a wax pill seal here, give it to the two." ”

Gao Yu and Wen Huanzhang hurriedly took it, Gao Yu was anxious, now it is a critical juncture to change the dynasty and change the emperor, and I don't know if I can keep my power, but I finally took refuge in Sanniang, and I also helped do a lot of things, not to mention that he heard that Sanniang likes fake phoenixes, so he dedicated Master Li, presumably he will not treat himself thinly, but now that the army is in chaos, he has not officially ordered the official to seal the official, Gao Yu always feels that his heart is full of things.

Wen Huanzhang is not in a hurry, he is confident that he and Gao Yu have Cai Jing's officialdom connections, the new emperor succeeds to the throne, and Sanniang wants to narrow the son of heaven to order the princes, after all, it is inseparable from the two of them, how to arrange the two, Wen Huanzhang is still not too worried about himself.

can crush the wax pills, take out the strips of Sanniang on it and take a look, both of them are half cold, only to see that only a sentence is simply written on it: "Wen Huanzhang and Gao Yu handed over the deployment of Kaifeng to Lou Minzhong, and then went to Dongwu County to listen to it." ”

After reading it, the two of them looked at each other, and what Sanniang meant was to ask the two of them to hand over all the officialdom connections of Cai Jing and his party to Lou Minzhong, and then let the two of them go to Dongwu County alone to listen to it, but they didn't specify how to use it.

Wen Huanzhang was scheming and calm, and he didn't have an immediate attack, but he was silent. Gao Yu was panicked, he now has no soldiers and no generals in his hands, and he only relies on Cai Jing's old subordinates, if he hands it over, what virtue can he have to impress Sanniang to teach her to continue to appoint herself?

Thinking of this, Gao Yu couldn't help but arch his hand and said, "Duke Lou, what does the lord mean by this?" Lou Minzhong smiled playfully and said slowly: "It's literal, why, Taiwei doesn't want to obey orders?" It must be known that now that the new monarch is in Dongyang County, he has not yet moved back to the capital, and the two of them will not go to Donghuang County to listen to the use, what will they do? ”

Lou Minzhong's words woke up Wen Huanzhang, and he exclaimed in his heart: "This is the lord testing the two of us, now that the new monarch has succeeded to the throne, many of the ministers of the previous dynasty will definitely be replaced, if they can successfully hand over all the old departments, the two of us can still be reused, if they hesitate not to hand it over, this Lou Minzhong can use the name of purging the rebels who are dependent on the Jin people, and criminalize all the officials." It's that I'm thinking shallowly, there may be a shortage of anyone in this world, but there is no shortage of this official! ”

Wen Huanzhang is thinking exactly what Sanniang thinks, although the early stage of stabilizing the Kaifeng Dynasty may need those former ministers, but after the Kaifeng situation is stabilized, many people are going to be replaced, it is because Sanniang sent Lou Minzhong to make a murderous knife when he stabilized the Kaifeng situation in this trip, if it is an official who does not deal with Xinjun and Sanniang, Sanniang does not mind letting Lou Min kill these people now. As for what the crime, the second emperor is dusty, colluding with the Jin people, and harming the people is a ready-made crime, the people of Kaifeng have hated the government and the court, and now they will pull out all the officials in Kaifeng City and kill them, and the common people, businessmen, three religions and nine streams will not object, on the contrary, they will applaud.

Thinking of this, Wen Huanzhang broke out in a cold sweat, he and Gao Yu had mastered the old subordinates of Cai Jing's party, which was already a taboo, and in the old department of Cai Jing's party, was there no one Sanniang wanted to kill? If he and Gao Yu still can't see the situation clearly at the moment, and they still have to pinch this piece of connection, then the two of them must die first.

At the moment, after Wen Huanzhang figured out this section, he did not hesitate, pulled Gao Yu and said: "The subordinates and the other two will naturally obey the order, and the subordinates will go to convene the old department, and after noon, they will bring everyone to the government to see Lou Gong, and after entrusting it, I and Taiwei will leave the city and go to Donghuang County." ”

Lou Minzhong said with a smile on his head: "Okay, Mr. Wen is really still a person who can figure it out, and it is not in vain for me to mention something." Gao Yu still wanted to speak, but was held down by Wen Huanzhang, and the two of them left.

Outside the mansion, Gao Yu hurriedly asked about the origin of the situation, Wen Huanzhang analyzed them one by one to Gao Yu, Gao Yu is also an old man in the officialdom, and then patted his head and said: "I almost missed a big event, as Mr. said, now that the lord is the emperor, if you want to sit firmly in the world and stabilize the court situation, this court official naturally has to have a good life." Wen Huanzhang sighed and said: "Our lord has a far-reaching view, and the things she is doing now are actually paving the way for her to ascend the throne in the future." Gao Yu bowed his head thoughtfully, and the two talked about it, and then they went to gather the old department.

Sure enough, in the afternoon, Wen Huanzhang and Gao Yu gathered all the leaders of Cai Jing's old party and came to Kaifeng Mansion to see them, and attached a list of the rest of the people, just because the rest of them were petty officials and officials, and there were too many people, so they were not summoned.

Lou Minzhong was also taken aback when he saw many people in the hall who had reported their official positions, and he couldn't imagine that Cai Jing's party had such a wide range of connections, and there were people from Cai Jing's party in the entire Great Song Dynasty, from the imperial city to the imperial city, and down to the ordinary Kaifeng horse supervisor.

A group of old ministries have already learned that Lou Minzhong is the Kaifeng Mansion Yin who succeeded the new monarch Qinfeng in Dongluo County, and was ordered to guard Kaifeng and hold the military power, and now Kaifeng even if he has soldiers in his hands, even the forbidden army Wang Yan is acting on his orders, and now the soldiers are in chaos, these old departments are naturally respectful to Lou Minzhong and show loyalty.

After patiently listening to the recommendations of the old ministries, Lou Minzhong coughed lightly and said: "The princes are the official offices of the country, and in this turbulent era of national disasters, they should fulfill their duties and go to the national disaster together. Now Hu Taishi is outside the city of Kaifeng to reach the enemy Jin army, the new monarch is in the palace in the east dusk, has not yet returned the capital, the princes should follow me to stabilize the situation in Kaifeng, as soon as possible to restore the old appearance of Kaifeng City, after the Jin people retreat, you can welcome the new monarch back to the capital as soon as possible. ”

All the old ministers said: "I am willing to follow Lou Gong and do my best." After Lou Minzhong bowed slightly, he said calmly: "I also said ugly things here, today's new monarch is the first empress of my Great Song Dynasty, if anyone dares to say irresponsible things, Yang Feng Yin disobeys, this official will never be polite!" ”

Everyone shuddered, and they all showed their loyalty together, naturally they all said that they loyally supported the new monarch Yunyun. Then Lou Minzhong didn't talk nonsense, so he issued a document, assigned everyone to guard their original errands, and ordered people to reorganize the military and civilian household registration of the people in Kaifeng separately, and assigned people to prepare the official warehouse, and when the grain was transported into the city, he would first enter the official warehouse, and then prepare to open dozens of grain distribution points in the city to help the people in the city.

Many trivial matters, Lou Minzhong arranged them one by one, and even arranged for the Yizhuang people and others to clean up the dead bodies in the city, and the Jiaotai Hospital prepared decoction to prevent the epidemic, etc., all of which were properly arranged. Seeing that Wen Huanzhang and Gao Yu were both admired, Wen Huanzhang even secretly thought: "The main public is really a good person, and I don't want this Lou Min to have such a talent for helping the country." I am only good at planning, personnel, and these government affairs trivialities, but I am not as careful as him. ”

Wen Huanzhang didn't know that Lou Minzhong was the prime minister under Fang La, and in the prefectures and counties occupied by Fang La in Jiangnan, all the cumbersome government affairs were out of his hands, if it weren't for Lou Minzhong's hard support, Fang La's side would have been defeated a long time ago, and it would have been impossible to deal with the Song army for so long. Lou Minzhong is actually a person who is good at civil affairs and not good at planning, and Sanniang is precisely interested in this, so she was appointed to enter Kaifeng first to stabilize the situation. At the same time, Lou Minzhong is the old department of Fang La, and he has no favors in the officialdom of the Great Song Dynasty, so it is just right for him to kill people with a knife.

After all the arrangements were made, a group of people waited for a self-retiring errand, Wen Huanzhang and Gao Yu carefully told each person's personality, family affairs, advantages and disadvantages and Lou Minzhong, Wen Huanzhang was afraid that Lou Minzhong would not be able to remember, so they all wrote a book and dedicated it to Lou Minzhong. The attitude of the two to cooperate made Lou Minzhong also very pleased.

After the two of them finished explaining, they were about to say goodbye, but Lou Minzhong said: "The two of you go slowly, the lord still has wax pills here to entrust the two." ”
