127. Enter the king of Yan
At the court meeting on March 15, a bunch of edicts were announced.
Among them, the most concerned is naturally about Zhao Mengqi, an edict of more than 300 words, more than the canonization of the crown prince, which is staggering.
Omit those long and tortuous scenes, the core meaning is that Zhao Mengqi changed the title of King Yan, opened the mansion, did not give the door halberd, added the same Pingzhang military and state affairs, went to Lin'an Mansion Yin, the imperial historian, and inspected the palace in front of the palace, and promoted the new city of Xinxue.
His meaning of opening the palace is not just the palace where he lives, but he can recruit staff, set up official offices, and have very large autonomy, it is not wrong to say that it is a small court, and he also gave the right to establish the palace guard, and there is no limit to the establishment.
That is, it is similar to Li Er's Qin Palace, and Zhao Er's Jin Palace, but Zhao Er does not have the right to build a guard.
In a sense, Zhao Mengqi has the ability to rebel after the opening of the government, and the ministers were naturally strongly opposed at first, but after arguing for a long time, they also figured it out, the officials are not afraid of King Yan's rebellion, what are we doing with this, what's more, according to the current situation, this King Yan will sooner or later be the family of the Great Song Dynasty, and it is not a big deal for people to establish a team in advance and hold power.
The later Pingzhangshi and Lin'an Mansion Yin are just fictitious titles, but they are given names, and as long as the officials are happy, they can transfer real power at any time.
This is a bit weird, because this official has too high a name and heavy powers, and he is the highest inspector of the country, and has the right to veto all decrees and edicts.
In fact, in the end of the Song Dynasty, there was no official doctor, and the person who was the most hopeful to hold this official position was Sima Guang alone, and in the end he did not succeed.
One is to confer on the envoy or foreign official to improve the authority and prestige of the titled official, and the other is to be granted as a fictitious title in the early Song Dynasty to foreign monarchs and domestic minority leaders.
There is also a kind of 'Imperial Doctor Shi', which is temporarily filled for events and canceled afterwards, and it is rare.
What is given to Zhao Mengqi now does not have 'concurrent' and 'photographed', which means that he can say 'no' to all the resolutions of the imperial court.
Let's talk about this 'inspection in front of the palace', the name does not look majestic or domineering, but it is the supreme commander of the forbidden army, commanding all the forbidden troops.
Zhao Da Huang Pao was this official in front of him, and when he became the emperor, he canceled this official position, divided the command of the forbidden army into three, and set up three ya, that is, the front division of the palace, the guard pro-army infantry division, and the horse division, but the respective commanders of the three ya's 'all command envoys', which are also vacant most of the time, just to let the emperor better grasp the military power.
Of course, Zhao Mengqi's current position is still a fictitious title, and the real military power is still firmly in the hands of Zhao Yun.
However, for the time being, he was still given a little bit of actual power, in charge of the guards and pro-army Ma Junsi, that is, Qu Moxuan directly belonged to Zhao Mengqi, and there was also a superintendent of the Zhejiang Water Army.
Sanya gave one of them, and said that it was a little bit, and that was because this Ma Junsi actually had two.
Nominally, there are 30,000 soldiers and horses in the Ma Military Division, but the main force has been moved to Jiankang Mansion during the period of Zhao Jiumei to show the heart of the north.
In the past hundred years, there are not many times when the imperial court really has the idea of the Northern Expedition, so there are often ministers who propose to transfer the main force of the Ma army back to Lin'an, and the red guys of the Ma army themselves also want to come back, but in the end, they all came to naught, so they settled in Jiankang and formed the 'Ma Army Xing Division', which was supervised by generals of low grade, and often rotated.
And the old division that stayed in Lin'an, only the three commanders of Longwei, Yuncai, and Wucai, a total of only 1,000 cavalry, just these three melons and two dates, they used to give way to the division and took charge of it, and now they have restored their autonomy and are led by Qu Moxuan, that is, because of the small number of soldiers, they gave him the official position of 'all commanders'.
This is the continuation of the Great Song Dynasty's idea of checks and balances, small officials are in charge of big power, big officials are in charge of small things, after the reform of Yuanfeng, the court has improved a lot, but it is still common in the army.
As for the Zhejiang Navy, it was newly built last year, with a total of 2,800 soldiers and more than 30 large and small ships, and the courtiers didn't care much about it, so King Yan gave it to him if he wanted to.
Then this 'promotion of Xinxue Xincheng', Xinxue is the 'Xinxue' that has been set before, but Xincheng made the minister confused, and when he understood that it was to expand a 'private city' equivalent to King Yan in the east of the city, he opposed it one by one.
There are both public and private reasons, and it is inconvenient to put out the 'private' one, because although most of the land in the east of the city belongs to the Qian family and has been 'sold' to the Yan King, there is still a considerable part of the land belonging to the powerful officials.
The reason for the 'public' is that it costs countless money and grain to build the city, and the imperial court is now in financial decline, and everyone is living a 'tight' life, if this Yan King robs the money to build the city, then what will everyone eat, and the court will not do anything else?
So Zhao Mengqi had to explain patiently, guaranteeing that the land would not be forcibly expropriated, that it would be purchased at a premium at the market price, and that the city would never use the money from the treasury, even the inner treasury, and it was only a start-up capital, and Zhao Mengqi would figure out his own way for the money behind.
It is to buy land, and to build a city out of his own pocket, this astronomical amount of money and food, the ministers don't believe that King Yan will have it at all, even if he empties all the money in the inner treasury and King Rong's mansion, it is not enough for one-tenth, and if he takes another 10,000 steps back, the Qian family is crazy and willing to contribute all the money to King Yan, so it can't be.
However, King Yan swore an oath, and the ministers nodded reluctantly, but secretly they were all waiting to see his jokes, that the new city is half the size of Lin'an City.
In addition to watching jokes, the ministers also have an inhumane careful thought in their hearts, this Yan Wang is too capable of tossing, too unruly, if he wanders around the court all day, the ghost knows how many things he is going to cause out, it is better to let him play with mud and build a city, not to mention it will take three years and five years, during this period, everyone will be quiet, it is still very fragrant.
After this edict, there were several more.
Feng Zhao Yun was named 'Princess Fengguo', Huang Shi, the original mother of King Yan, was named 'Lady of Shangdang County', Zhao Hui, the daughter of Lao Zhao, was named 'Princess of Zhou', and Concubine Yan was reduced to Zhaoyi, and Cheng Yuanfeng was given the right to participate in political affairs, as well as a series of court personnel adjustments, and the action was not big.
In addition, he allowed Uncle Xie Fang's resignation, and was awarded the title of Governor of the Governor, Special Advancement, Guanwendian University, Quanzhou Mansion, Fujian Road Pacification Envoy, and Southeast Coastal Control Envoy, and allowed him to "act cheaply" on matters such as visiting the people's suffering, issuing government decrees, reorganizing the garrison, and promoting officials.
This edict has aroused speculation among many middle- and lower-level officials, and it is not clear what the mystery is in it for a while.
The convicts who were previously sentenced to exile were all sent to a place that was very unfamiliar to all officials, 'Pinghu Island'.
Then, at noon on the same day, Ding Daquan and other convicts, under the supervision of officials of the Criminal Department, will be identified in Dali Temple Prison, and will be hanged, and then his family will collect the body.
In addition, Dong Songchen, Lu Yunsheng, and more than 30 accomplices involved in the case will also be beheaded at the entrance of the vegetable market outside Dongqingmen.
