Chapter 281: Three Fires

Half a month later, the capital was decorated with lights to congratulate the new emperor on his accession to the throne, and the people didn't care who would be the emperor, as long as they could be fed and clothed.

Wen Fuding was the first to make the first contribution in the First Battle of Zhongdu, and should be regarded as a national teacher and served as the chief priest in the ceremony.

After burning yellow paper and sacrificing heaven and earth, Wang Zhide, the emperor, can be regarded as the real carrier of heaven.

Only one sixth princess came to the entire royal family to attend the ceremony, and the third princess moved out of the palace and lived in her own princess's mansion before Wang Zhide entered the city.

Although Su Qiaoqiao, who has the identity of a princess, was released from the prison, the death of the king made her blame herself very much, and she had already locked herself in the room for half a month.

In addition, the third princess has either dismissed or beheaded many officials before, which made this ceremony a lot more deserted.

……

After the enthronement ceremony, it is the first court meeting of the new Son of Heaven, and the civil and military officials need to be dressed neatly to be present, if anyone does not come for some reason, it will be regarded as disrespectful to the Son of Heaven, especially if the king is still seeking power and usurping the throne, this matter is more sensitive, and maybe someone will die because of it.

"Who wasn't there today?"

Wang Shande looked at the slightly deserted court hall and asked in a deep voice.

"Back to Your Majesty, there are three ......adults, namely Lord Lu of Pingzhang Political Affairs, Lord Chengsun of the right, Lord Zhengzhou of the Left Zong, Prince Shaofu, Prince Taibao, Prince Shaobao Cao, Jing and Xiang."

The officials who replied said more than a dozen, most of them were the old ministry of Emperor Xiaocun, who assisted him when he was still the prince.

Wang Zhide's face became more and more difficult to look at, and he said coldly:

"Pick a few of them and behead them for public display, and if the rest still do not repent, kill them all."

An official hurriedly stood up and dissuaded: "Your Majesty, as soon as you ascend the throne, you will kill people on a large scale, I am afraid it will chill people's hearts!" ”

Seeing this, the other officials also hurriedly knelt down and said in unison: "Please think twice, Your Majesty!" ”

Wang Zhide doesn't care about these, now at the beginning of his power, it is a good time to clear the old diseases, if he misses it, it will be difficult to start in the future, he said coldly:

"Whoever dares to intercede for them shall be punished with the same sin."

The court was suddenly silent, and many thoughtful officials at the bottom had already seen the clues, the new emperor took office with three fires, and eighty percent of the fires were about to burn to the officialdom.

……

Next, the civil and military officials, as usual, began to report on the military and political situation in various places, and Wang Zhide also answered them one by one, which seemed to be at ease, which made some officials who were worried about the ambition of the new emperor a lot more reassured.

Before the new emperor's temperament was touched, many officials still didn't want to touch the dragon's beard and scales, and most of the reports were to report good news and not bad news, trying to get by.

At the end of the court meeting, Wang Shande announced two things, one is that there is a serious shortage of officials in Beijing, and many government affairs cannot operate normally, so it is necessary to recruit virtuous people and open Enke in advance; The second is that Xuan Pan Yuanzheng entered Beijing, as for the reason, he did not say clearly.

Although Pan Yuanzheng was once a vassal king, he was implicated in the previous rebellion of Wang Shan, and the family was demoted to Zhongzhou.

But now that the new emperor is in full swing, no one wants to touch this mold, and a down-and-out vassal king can't make any waves, if the saint is thirsty for talent and wants to reactivate the Pan family, it's a big deal to be cheeky and make friends again, as long as people are not offended to death in the officialdom, there will always be room for maneuver.

After the dispersal of the dynasty, Wang Shande sat alone on the dragon chair and did not leave for a long time.

Nie Yingxue, who had been guarding outside the hall, walked in, she quietly came to Wang Zhide's side, and asked softly:

"What's wrong?"

Wang Zhide crossed his fingers with his hands, looked out of the hall, and said with a lonely expression:

"From today onwards, I will really be alone."

"Is he really dead?" In Nie Yingxue's mouth, he is naturally the king.

"I don't know." Wang Zhide shook his head, "Wen Fuding said that all the dragon qi in the world has been attributed to me, and Wang Quanquan will definitely die, but Zhou Daochang has calculated a ray of vitality, and I ordered him to find it secretly." ”

"I hope I can find it." Nie Yingxue sighed, "No matter how you say it, he also saved my life, and now I will take revenge, if he dies because of this, Rong Rong and I are afraid that they will really become mortal enemies for life." ”

Wang Shande turned his head, grabbed the other party's right hand on his shoulder, and said apologetically:

"I'm sorry for you, I'll give you a seal in a few days."

Nie Yingxue smiled and continued to ask:

"Lu Feng, what are you going to do with it?"

"He is an old minister of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, so naturally I won't keep him, I guess he knows it in his heart, but I promise him that I will continue to do it."

Nie Yingxue nodded when she heard this, after the founding of the country, killing heroes, throughout the ages, no matter how virtuous the monarch is, he can't avoid it, the old strategist of the vertical and horizontal faction has calculated his life, and I am afraid that his own death will also be counted in it.

is so painstaking, just to avenge the country's revenge and family hatred, no matter how smart you are, you can't escape the word "people's heart" after all.

Wang Zhide didn't want to talk about the trick of unloading the mill and killing the donkey, and asked instead:

"Have you found out the whereabouts of Emperor Xiaocun?"

Nie Yingxue shook her head, "He has Zhou Xuantong to escort him, and the old eunuch disbanded the secret guard before leaving, and it will take some effort to rely on our spies alone." ”

"It's okay, the secret guard can be reorganized, but it's a pity that Zhou Xuantong, a loyal dog, can't be used by me."

Nie Yingxue hesitated, and stopped talking.

"If you have anything to say, just say it."

"Since he has given up the throne to you, why bother to find it."

Wang Shande said in a deep voice: "He walked lightly and took all the righteousness of the world, but I was infamous for being disloyal and unjust. ”

Nie Yingxue shook her head, "This is not what you really think. ”

She knew the other party too well, and if he really cared about infamy, he wouldn't have spent decades plotting a rebellion.

Sure enough, Wang Zhide was stunned when he heard this, and then muttered:

"That's not what I want."

……

Longqi Bay, which has been fishing for a living for generations, is far less than the wind and waves in the temple, and the changes in imperial power in the past few days have spread even the small village where the emperor is far away.

Hearing that the new emperor not only killed a number of officials in one go, but also wanted to open Enke and recruit talents, although there were few scholars in the village, the villagers who had little to talk about were still happy to talk about this matter.

The young people who often carry goods in and out of the provincial capital will also bring back new news from time to time, and every time they return, the men in the village will gather together and discuss the major affairs in Beijing, which is quite a bit of a reproach for Fang Yu to point out the world.

Whether it is a married woman or an unmarried woman in the village, when they see this situation, they can't help but roll their eyes a few times, and secretly say something like "not big ability, no small breath".

The men in the village seemed to them to be some mountain village husbands, who worked hard at sea during the day, and when they came back at night, they had to work their mother-in-law, and if they caught up with the wind and waves one day, they would get together to drink and brag, and they didn't think about learning at all.

On the other hand, the new teacher of the school is different, not only is he capable of the ship, can bear hardships and stand hard work, but also is a person with a university knowledge, who can read the books of the Three Character Classics from beginning to end, and even often quote the classics in chapters.

When the children came home, they praised the young gentleman, not only for the interesting lectures, but also for the complete understanding, unlike the old gentleman who had spoken so much.

And Ah Yue looks very elegant in a long shirt, and many little girls who have not come out of the cabinet will come to the window of the school, ostensibly to listen, but in fact they are peeking, and they will only stop when they see this thin-skinned boy with a red face.
