Chapter 119: The Wind and Rain Come Again
In the following month, the ministers were a little confused by the changes. Zhao Guiren and the fourth and fifth princes disappeared, let's not talk about it. According to the news from the northern Xinjiang, the invading army of Yan was wiped out by the three princes, and now His Royal Highness the Prince, and also captured the Tiebi Pass and the Qingfeng Pass of the Yan State.
When this news came, Liu Yu's power was even better, and no one in the court dared to do it against Liu Yu anymore. Then Liu Yu wisely sent Fu Youde, Lan Yu, and others to the army of the Quartet, and firmly controlled the army in his own hands.
Subsequently, the reform of the official position of the Ming State began. All the countries in the Shenzhou Continent are basically the same model, somewhat similar to the Han Dynasty's Three Princes and Nine Secretaries system. The family is above the court and has a lot of right to speak. The court of the Ming Dynasty was changed to a model similar to the cabinet system of the Ming Dynasty.
As for the cabinet ministers, in addition to Chen Gong, Li Shanchang, and Shen Conglin, two officials were also promoted from the imperial court to the cabinet. This is also to facilitate the emperor from time to time when he can't go to the court, delaying the government. After all, under the cabinet system of the Ming Dynasty, if you want to be the Wanli Emperor, you haven't been to the court for many years, and the country is not how it should be turned.
Finally, Liu Yu also stipulated that the cabinet members should be appointed by the emperor and changed once every five years, and could not be re-elected for two consecutive terms. Anyway, with the number of lotteries, there are more and more people in his hands, and he is not afraid of cabinet changes.
It is said that it is really a big thing, Liu Yu is not qualified to be a prince in the country, and several people in the Chen Palace are unknown. can't resist Liu Yu's prestige deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and after such a change, there are more opportunities, and everyone has the opportunity to climb up again.
Now in addition to the Chen family, there are no top families in the Ming Kingdom. The six extra Shangshu, as well as the cabinet assistants, all need manpower. How many families are fighting to curry favor with Liu Yu, just so that one day they can have the opportunity to get a half-official position.
Chen Huanqing was opposed, but unfortunately Liu Yu had already controlled the Ming Dynasty, and it was useless for him to howl alone. Besides, the 300,000 forbidden troops in northern Xinjiang are also about to return to the dynasty, and these people will no longer be Chen Huaqing's subordinates. Even though Chen Huaqing was Liu Yu's own uncle, and even though the factions within the forbidden army were divided and only the emperor's order could be fully mobilized, Liu Yu still did not worry about handing over the 500,000 forbidden army to him.
A month passed quietly, and the matter of internal control reform was finally over. The remnants of the Wu and Zhou families in the Ming Dynasty came to a major purge, and it was certainly not smooth sailing during the period. Anyone who makes trouble can arrive within a few days at the speed of the wolf cavalry, and it can be solved immediately. It can be said that in the past month, Liu Yu has firmly controlled Daming in his hands.
However, things are not all smooth sailing, I heard that Liu Yu, who offended the Flame Sect in the past, became the prince, and the Flame Sect pretended to come out to congratulate him. Subsequently, a request was put forward that the offerings sent to the Flame Sect this year should be increased by 30%.
Fuck, more than half of the income of the Ming Kingdom has to be offered to the Flame Sect and the Daling Dynasty, and today the Flame Sect will increase by three percent when they open their mouths, and Liu Yu almost turned his face at that time. However, now it is an eventful time, the Flame Sect has an existence like an emperor in the Ming Dynasty, its disciples are all over the world, and the officialdom in the army abounds, and Liu Yuzheng can endure it for the time being.
However, Liu Yu didn't want to have a emperor on his head, he had already silently made up his mind, and when he took the throne and stabilized his power, he immediately sent troops to the Flame Sect to destroy him. Consider it as far as you are ready. This consideration was that more than half a month had passed, and in the end, the people of the Flame Sect put down a few cruel words and left in a hurry.
On this day, the weather was a little gloomy, and the atmosphere in the palace was also a little dull. If nothing else, it is clear that Emperor Liu Wei will not be able to hold on. Now Liu Yu is in the Heart Cultivation Palace, and Liu Wei is waiting by his side.
Liu Wei, who had been poisoned into his heart and lungs, had his breath already intermittent, and black blood flowed from the corners of his mouth from time to time. Liu Wei asked intermittently, "Yu'er, tell me honestly, did you attack your fourth emperor brother or fifth emperor brother?"
"Father, I don't need to lie to you now, my sons really didn't attack them. To be honest, I was ready to do it to get rid of the trouble, but unfortunately they ran away. Maybe Zhao Guiren has some back-up tricks, so they can get out of the palace! ”
Grabbing Liu Yu's hand, Liu Wei was so excited that he didn't even roll his tongue, and said urgently, "Promise me, let them be ordinary people, don't embarrass them." ”
"Okay, I promise you" Liu Yu held Liu Wei's hand in turn and said affirmatively, "If they don't go against me in the future, whether they want to be an idle prince or a flat-headed commoner, I will never pursue the previous matter." But if they don't change their minds, the father and the emperor will stop blaming the sons and ministers for being ruthless. ”
"Okay, okay, rest assured" Liu Wei's voice became weaker and weaker, and finally he gradually couldn't hear it. After Liu Yu carefully investigated, he found that Liu Wei had lost his breath, and he was still faintly relaxed before he died.
"Your Majesty is dead!" As this sentence was shouted, there was a cry inside and outside the palace. In the palace of the magnificent hall, white sails and white sand are paved. From a distance, it looks like a heavy snowfall, and the entire palace is covered in snow.
The emperor's funeral was so solemn and solemn, and the scene was so grand. Dealing with such things is indeed cumbersome for Liu Yu, and after all the etiquette is completed, Liu Yu will be tired. At night, Liu Yu still had to keep a watch.
Of course, as a prince, as long as the symbolic surname is pretended, the best thing is to keep it for three days. After all, a country cannot be left without an owner, and a lot of things are waiting for it. Moreover, the Shenzhou Continent is a place where the heroes are competing with each other, and if the lord of a country dies, if the country is unstable, other countries will definitely rush up and take a bite. At this time, the prince dared to keep the spirit for a long time.
"Lord, lord" Just as Liu Yu was practicing while guarding his spirit, a deep voice sounded, this guy woke Liu Yu up in one fell swoop.
Suddenly opened his eyes and saw the appearance of the person who came, Liu Yu slowly asked, "Chengdu, what's the matter with you?" ”
Respectfully waved at Liu Yu, and then Yuwen Chengdu said slowly, "My lord, there is a force secretly gathering strength in the army these days, and it seems that many officers have been pulled into it, and it has formed a large scale. ”
Then Yuwen Chengdu pulled up a few people next to him and introduced them to Liu Yu, "These people are all middle- and lower-level officers in the forbidden army and the Praetorian Guard, such as Dubo and Yamen, who have been empowered by the lord with secret books, and are loyal to the lord. The subordinates also heard their report, and that's why "
The cheats that Liu Yu extracted from the system can not only make people instantly rise to a certain level and quickly learn martial arts. It can also make users die and loyal to Liu Yu. Except for the part used in the Northern Army, in addition to giving it to Lan Yu and Di Qing to control the army, most of the rest was used on the middle-level officers of the Forbidden Army and the Praetorian Guard, these people can be said to be loyal to Liu Yu and will not lie to him.
However, these people's remarks did shock Liu Yu slightly in his heart, someone was secretly gathering troops, this would not be a joke. His brows furrowed slightly, and looking at the few people who came, Liu Yu slowly asked, "What have you all found, say it, tell me!" ”
After these people saw Liu Yu, they were quite excited, trembling and even speechless. Liu Yu asked for a long time, but he was sweating vigorously, and no one could speak.
In the end, there was still an old man who stabilized his mind and stumbled and said, "Your Highness Qiqi, my subordinates obeyed the general's order yesterday, saying that they were going to gather on the day His Highness ascended the throne, and strictly ordered his subordinates not to speak out. At that time, the subordinates realized that something was wrong, and it was said that although such an order was normal, it was not necessary to keep it secret. Subsequently, after careful investigation by his subordinates, he found that something was really wrong, so he found an opportunity to stop General Yuwen and report the matter to him. ”
This person's remarks made Liu Yu frown, he had never given a similar order, which means that there was another force that wanted to give him a "surprise" on the day he ascended the throne Then, Liu Yu asked a little coldly, "Do you know who it is, is it Zhao Guiren?" ”
"This subordinate doesn't know, the subordinate is just a tooth keeper, and the general will not tell his subordinates about such a thing. However, the subordinates found out that the general seemed to be very respectful to the comer! ”
"Respectfully?" Liu Yu had a guess in his heart. Zhao Guiren is still playing this set when he is missing, many of his policies these days have harmed the interests of others, and it is possible to gather together. However, with Zhao Guiren, a weak woman, she is now powerless and powerless, and no one supports her, who believes it?
In the end, Liu Yu nodded, and then closed his eyes, "I know, you all go down!" ”
