Chapter 20: Dark Waves
When he returned to the palace, he watched the palace maids in the Heavenly Palace, and carried Yan Xu into the Heavenly Palace. Long Xiang sat in the chariot and returned to the Tai'an Palace.
Long Xiang was silent for a while, and after Wang Xi changed three or five teas, Long Xiang opened his mouth and said, "Wang Xi." “
"Yes, Your Majesty. Wang Xi respectfully blessed his body.
"Did you find anything unusual in the hunting grounds?" Long Xiang seemed to miss something about what happened today.
"There's one thing. Wang Xi truthfully reported: "On the way to the ceremony, I suddenly heard the neighing of horses, and the patrol soldiers went to inspect and found that it was the horses of Feng Fusi's family, and they were a little restless, but fortunately they were discovered by the groom in time, and if they rushed into the crowd, it would be unimaginable." “
"Then do you think that the widow's chariot is actually in the middle of the mountains? Is it someone who wants to harm the widow, or the queen?" said Long Xiang quietly. This seems to be a question, but in fact it is a blame.
"The slave has the emperor's entrustment and asks the emperor to surrender. Wang Xi pounced on his knees on the floor.
"It's good to know that you are guilty, the widow entrusted the queen to you, but you didn't let people take care of it, and even let the widow find the queen in the place where the tigers often haunted, and it is not a pity that you will be beheaded all over the house. Long Xiang glanced away coldly.
Wang Xi on the ground broke out in a cold sweat, he had never seen such a cold Long Xiang, often Long Xiang, they were all gentle and amiable, even if they were annoyed, at most, they were expressionless, how could there have been such a cold face.
At this time, in the Tai'an Palace, there was silence, and there were only two people in the hall, Long Xiang and Wang Xi, who served.
Long Xiang actually squatted in front of Wang Xi and whispered: "Widow, no matter where you come from, since you are the eunuch accompanying the widow, you should know what to do, what not to do, what to do as much as you can, put away your little cleverness, if there is a next time, you know what will happen." “
"Yes, yes, Emperor. At this time, Wang Xi only felt cold and piercing, and all his careful thoughts were in Long Xiang's eyes. At this time, Long Xiang seemed to be different from his impression, did he change, or did he not understand from beginning to end, this emperor?
"It's good to know, the subordinates who the widow wants must be wholehearted, you know?"
"Yes, Emperor, minion, I know. At this time, Wang Xi felt that he had the meaning of coming to life. He knew that Long Xiang would not punish more for today's incident, but it did not mean that he would not investigate.
"The crossbow arrow, is it still there?" Long Xiang glanced at Wang Xi, walked to the throne, sat down, and said.
"It's still there, does the emperor need to present it?" Wang Xi climbed up.
"At the ceremony, what about the soldiers who took care of the royal chariots?" Long Xiang said without answering Wang Xi's question.
"This. Wang Xi looked left and right, and seemed to have something unspeakable.
Say. Long Xiang said very succinctly.
"Back to the emperor, then, soldier, on the way back, he died suddenly. “
"Sudden death?" Long Xiang said, raising his eyebrows, all of this was expected by himself. "It seems that the evidence is very clean. “
"Emperor, do you need to find other soldiers to interrogate?" Wang Xi came up with an idea.
"No need. Long Xiang raised his hand and said, "This matter can't be pursued." “
Hearing this, Wang Xi didn't answer, just lowered his head and didn't speak. Indeed, this matter has no beginning and no tail, and as far as the current situation is concerned, the Longxiang regime has not yet been stabilized and cannot be pursued.
"You bring all the recent folds, and the widow will sleep in the Tai'an Hall today. Long Xiang rubbed his temples and said.
Tai'an Hall is the royal study, there is also a soft collapse used for rest, there are often Taiping emperors, working late at night, directly sleeping in the Tai'an Palace example, Wang Xi naturally also knows, what to prepare. “
"Yes, Your Majesty. Wang Xi retreated silently. The next day was the time for Long Xiang to carry out the first early dynasty, and it was imperative to sort out the current political situation in Taiping, so that the right medicine could be prescribed.
Every time a new emperor changes, it is the beginning of a change of regime. But Long Xiang is a special example. Even in Long Xian's generation, there were often three or five princes, each with the power of the court and the central government to support each other, and when the new emperor ascended the throne, the supporting forces would naturally control the government, but Long Xiang's generation, there was only one prince, and there was no need to compete for the throne, this throne would also be Long Xiang's, as for the power, it was only through the method of the queen on the throne. Everyone didn't expect that this time the queen turned out to be an eight-year-old girl who jumped out of nowhere, and the descendants of the Yan family became the queen, which slapped several forces in the court.
Although Long Xiang was not willing to be influenced by the several forces of the Taiping Dynasty, he wanted to re-establish a real peaceful and prosperous era. The premise is that you must control the power of Taiping, but all this is not easy.
From the excerpts sent, Long Xiang can sensitively discover the distribution of several forces in the government.
Taiping inherited Beikang, divided into Si Chenfu, in charge of the weather and sacrifices, because Long Xian canceled the witch envoy, so Si Chenfu is still in charge of the sacrifice and other major national ceremonies, and the weather is predicted by several scholars who have researched. When to sow seeds, when to harvest, and when to marry, these all have a deep impact on the people of Taiping.
The Si Li Mansion is in charge of the ceremonial documents of Taiping.
The division of punishment is naturally in charge of justice and prisons.
The Minister's Office is in charge of the change and promotion of officials.
Si Gongfu is in charge of the Taiping project.
Si Bingfu is naturally in charge of the distribution of the army. In addition, the state and town government departments of each state, as well as the official positions of the town government office. These official positions progressed layer by layer, and some of them were intertwined, forming a situation of three-point peace.
Wang Cen served in the Minister's Mansion, and was in charge of the changes of officials during his lifetime, so it was easy for him to get close to the officials of various states, and he even enveloped the Celebrant Mansion.
And Master Qiu, who serves as the secretary of the Gongfu, has real power in his hands, plus several generals are in charge of the military power of Taiping, not to mention some impartial officials, each saying his own thing, doing his own thing, to say something ugly, even if Long Xiang makes a decision, if these old ministers do not agree, I am afraid, it will really not be able to do it. What topic to discuss tomorrow, Long Xiang must think about it, otherwise he really can't do anything.
Thinking of this, Long Xiang couldn't help but rub his temples, it seemed that he could only break them one by one.
Long Xiang, who was flipping through the folds, suddenly saw something that interested him.
Fuzhou.
Yes, since Huang Tiandi put Xixuan soldiers in Fuzhou without authorization, he failed to raise troops and was killed by Long Xian. It's strange to say, since then, none of the state and town departments that have entered Fuzhou have lived for three years, and the causes of death are strange, since then, Fuzhou is like a curse, no one wants to serve, and fortunately, the surrounding town guards have maintained well, so that Fuzhou, the state town, has not caused too much chaos.
said in the excerpt that this is all because Fuzhou was cursed by the Yin soldiers.
