Chapter 18 Juxtaposition
The court is calm and calm, the general Zhou Qing is still very authoritarian, the power of the world is not to say, and the three major standards of the ministers, praise and worship are not named, enter the court is not trending, and he has all the sword shoes in the palace.
In history, the powerful ministers who can match these three standard configurations will either usurp the throne or rebel in the end, and if you don't abolish an emperor in this rebellion trio, you will be sorry for your rebellion suit.
Moreover, after Jiang Cheng ascended the throne, he gave Zhou Qing a lot of preferential treatment, he was named the Duke of Chu, and all the children in the family were named marquis.
Zhou Qing, who had controlled the government for many years, was also paralyzed by Jiang Cheng's sugar-coated shells, and had no intention of doing anything to Jiang Cheng for the time being.
And Jiang Cheng took advantage of this time to visit his mausoleum.
The emperor's mausoleum will be built on the day he ascends the throne, and it will not be completed until the emperor's death, and Jiang Cheng's mausoleum has already begun.
After inspecting his own mausoleum, Jiang Cheng used this as an excuse to pardon a large number of prisoners and a large number of slaves in the Shaofu.
And he also began to train the army of convicts to make them combat-capable.
And there is no doubt that most of the people who can be demoted to slaves by Shaofu or sent here are all on the battlefield or some hostile soldiers.
The fate of these people could not be changed, but Jiang Cheng changed, so in just half a month, he got 200,000 loyal soldiers.
Don't think this is incredible, first of all, you have to know what the Shaofu Yamen does, the name of the Shaofu is the Jiuqing Yamen, which is the private power of the royal family, for details, please refer to the company that starts with the modern national character.
And such a yamen, the things stored in it are beyond anyone's imagination, otherwise how could Shaofu become the Jiuqing Yamen!
Do you think this is a joke? The Shaofu Order is also among the top among the Nine Qings.
In the Qin and Han wars, the last Shaofu Zhang Han of the Qin Dynasty, sent Shaofu prisoners to form an army of 400,000, chasing the north along the way, almost reversing the Qin Dynasty, if it wasn't for Xiang Yu, it is really hard to say who will win and who will lose in the end.
And what is the most important thing in this troubled era, of course, is military power, so he wants to control Shaofu at all costs.
His army of 200,000 was hidden outside the city, and Jiang Cheng knew that this secret could not be hidden for long, so he had to solve Zhou Qing quickly.
The next morning, this was the first morning court since Jiang Cheng ascended the throne for half a year, so everyone came, and even some ministers who were sick at home were invited.
"Duke Chu Guo, the time spent in Chang'an is not short, and it should be over. ”
After the court meeting began, the imperial doctor who was hinted at by Jiang Cheng spoke first, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he wanted Zhou Qing to speak.
You must know that when Jiang Cheng first named Zhou Qing as the Duke of Chu, he was a prince with real power in the country, not the kind of empty prince who led the food.
Generally speaking, if you get this canonization, you must return to the feudal country, but Zhou Qing didn't say anything, and Jiang Cheng didn't say anything, of course everyone is as good as a stream.
.....
After a period of nonsense, in the end, Zhou Qingyu fought against the Confucians, and concluded that he still wanted to contribute to the society and serve the emperor, so he didn't go back to the country first.
"I understand the heart of the Duke of Chu, but in the service of the country, we can't hurt the body, we can't let the hero shed blood and tears, in this way, I specially approve the Duke of Guo to return to China!"
Jiang Cheng first stood up and retained the other party once, and then sent him away directly after changing his voice.
"Your Majesty, the minister still wants to contribute to the society!" Zhou Qing didn't expect Jiang Cheng's methods to be so ruthless, and he actually wanted to remove his military power.
"The Duke of Chu doesn't need to be like this, come on, escort the Duke of Chu back to his house. ”
"No!" a group of guards, led by two second-order masters, 'protected' the Duke of Chu Guo's return to the mansion.
"Someone came to invite the generals of the Han army at all levels to come to the meeting. After seizing Zhou Qing's military power, Jiang Cheng directly began to give orders and began to gather officers at all levels in the Han army.
.....
After a full week of purging, Jiang Cheng finally mastered the army and thus took control of the imperial court.
Summoning the generals of the Han army to come to discuss matters, this is obviously a side line, whether they want to resist Zhou Qing to the death or be loyal to the monarch and patriotism.
And almost all the generals of the Han army chose to be loyal to the monarch and defend the country, in fact, they can't help it now, and the army of 200,000 prisoners surrounded their large battalions.
You must know that the army stationed in Chang'an is only a total of more than 100,000 people.
And with the supply of ordnance from Shaofu, it can be said that the equipment of the convict army is not weaker than that of the regular army.
So it's clear that all the rest of the rest have surrendered, except for a few ghostly ones.
And those who don't know whether they are alive or dead, Jiang Cheng also fulfilled them, and the whole family died together.
In this era, there is no law that only kills one person, and what is popular now is to kill the nine clans, especially the Han law, which is extremely cruel.
With the allegiance of the army, Jiang Cheng was able to sleep well with peace of mind, and now he finally didn't worry about waking up when he woke up, and he would die inexplicably.
Moreover, his cultivation has been fully supplied by the state, and now he has become the peak of the middle stage of the second order, and he will soon be able to become a monk in the late stage.
The most important thing for Jiang Cheng now is not anything else, but to bury his head in the development of farming, the current Han Empire is in turmoil, and the warlords on one side have already established their own countries and claimed to be emperors.
The Li Tang Dynasty, which occupied Jingyiyang, was formally established, and Yang Guang, who supported the northern land, also established the Sui Dynasty, and Genghis Khan, who was the king and hegemon of the steppe, was also officially established: Yuan.
It can be said that the land of Kyushu is the four countries standing side by side in an instant, and the remaining large and small forces are not in the eyes of everyone at all, and at this time, the Han Dynasty, which occupies the basic plate of Guanzhong, as well as one or two states and counties in the north, can be said to be the smallest force.
And all countries also want to destroy the Han Dynasty the most, because as long as the Han Dynasty is not destroyed for a day, he is the orthodox dynasty in the hearts of the people of the world.
Since the rise of the Han Dynasty, it has now enjoyed the national honor for more than 400 years, and this great unified dynasty has also reached the end of its term.
However, there are still three catties of nails in the rotten ship! Jiang Cheng and the Han Dynasty have not yet reached a desperate situation.
Especially after Jiang Cheng ascended the throne, on the one hand, he repaired various countries and promised to recognize their countries, and on the other hand, he relocated all the people to the land of Guanzhong.
Especially now that the situation is very critical, so extraordinary people do extraordinary things, Jiang Cheng ordered his father-in-law to keep buying food and collecting all kinds of craftsmen.
Internally, he used spy rule to ruthlessly suppress the land of Guanzhong, and the name of Jinyiwei floated over the entire land of Guanzhong.
Moreover, he also ordered Shaofu to continue to develop gunpowder weapons, and it was necessary to develop muskets that could be fired.
