From the beginning of April, Zhang Biao, the commander of the Sili School, and Duan Xi, the general of Long Lin Wei Youlang, and the ruling Jin Wu Ti cavalry, jointly pursued the remaining members of the Liang clan.

The city of Luoyang was in chaos, the samurai on horses galloped back and forth in the streets and alleys, and the Liang clan's henchmen who fled when they heard the news panicked, and the whole of Kyoto exploded.

Liang Ji registered those officials who had given him generous gifts, which also became irrefutable evidence of their crimes.

It saved Zhang Biao a lot of trouble, just follow the map, every day officials are taken away from their own mansions, and the Beisi prison is overcrowded.

In the end, they could only work overtime, and the judgment was made while the trial was made, and the Liang clan members such as Liang Shu, Liang Rang, the captain of the Tun Cavalry, Liang Zhong, the captain of the Yue Cavalry, and Liang Ji, the captain of Changshui, were all beheaded.

In the Sun family, Liu Zhinian was in the Xiamen Pavilion in the head of Sun Huai's Gao Yi, and the noble Liang Meng ...... Oh, and now it's changed back to Deng Meng's stepfather Liang Jifen.

They were treated differently, and only those who were attached to Sun Shou for evil were questioned, and the rest were not investigated.

At that time, Liang Ji Mansion was known as 3,000 guests, and there were countless officials and slaves, most of these people were full of evil, and now they are directly pulled to the intersection outside the north gate to behead.

Because there were so many people, so that the blood was overflowing, and the corpses were everywhere, and the people came to watch with the old and the young, all clapping their hands and applauding, and even celebrating each other.

Among the implicated ministers, colonels, state assassins, and officials of 2,000 stones, dozens of them were killed, and more than 300 people were dismissed, and the imperial court was empty.

It wasn't until half a month later that the chaos in the city gradually calmed down, but the inventory of Liang Ji's property lasted for a month.

The direct proceeds of the money, as well as the conversion of gold, silver and jewelry, together with the proceeds from the sale of the rest of the property, amounted to more than three billion dollars, all of which were filled into the state treasury.

When the dust settles, it's time to reward the meritorious ones.

For the first court meeting in May, Liu Zhi sat on the royal chair refreshed, looking at the recital table presented in his hand, and he was in a good mood.

I knew that Liang Ji was rich, but I didn't expect to be so rich, it really deserves to be rich and rival the country.

Three billion, which is almost equivalent to half a year's tax payment by the people, not including his magnificent several giant gardens.

"Ladies and gentlemen, all the people in the world have been suffering for a long time, and now they deserve their crimes, and I want to collect the money they have obtained to deduct the tax paid for half a year this year."

After that, he looked around at the ministers and asked, "What do you think?" ”

When the emperor himself is not distressed, who would object to being a courtier, anyway, he doesn't want them to pay for it.

What's more, who would dare to defy the world's condemnation and express their opinions on such a matter for the well-being of the people of Lebanon?

Unless it's crazy.

Therefore, starting from Taifu Ma Rong, everyone has stood up to sing praises and praises, blowing the conch, and praising Liu Zhi as a wise man through the ages, loving the people like a son.

At first, Liu Zhi listened to it with relish, but after talking too much, it was boring, so he waved his hand impatiently.

"The rabbit farm in the southern suburbs covers a vast area, and I plan to turn it into a royal grange, which will be cultivated by renting servants and homeless people, and the proceeds will be used for the use of the palace to reduce the expenditure of the state treasury."

The Liang couple love to raise rabbits, and there are tens of thousands of rabbits of all colors in captivity, and they once wiped out the rich merchants of the Western Regions because of a rabbit.

"As for the rabbits inside, they were all distributed to the people in the southern suburbs according to their heads."

The emperor wanted to take the rabbit garden for himself and turn it into his own private property, and the ministers had nothing to say, not to mention that he also reduced the expenditure of the state treasury because of this.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Liu Zhi was very satisfied, "Most of the villas in the eastern suburbs were originally occupied by the people's land, so I plan to return them one by one."

The part that has been built is open to the public garden, and a small access control fee is charged for maintenance. ”

This is Liu Zhi's imitation of the concept of modern parks, but in fact, it is not new in ancient times, and there were already gardens for play in the Western Han Dynasty.

"The West Garden is also a public garden."

The gold and brilliance of this West Garden, even the Hong Lin Garden is inferior, everyone thought that he would also be listed as a royal garden, but who knew that he was very generous.

However, these are not the focus of today, the highlight is the next big reward.

Feng Danchao is the Marquis of Xinfeng, Xu Huang is the Marquis of Wuyuan, Zuo Yi is the Marquis of Shangcai, Tang Heng is the Marquis of Ruyang, Yin Xun is the Marquis of Yiyang, Yuan Xu is the Marquis of Shanyang, Dong Ban is the Marquis of Yingyang, and Yang Jian is the Marquis of the Kitchen Pavilion.

There are a total of eight people who are enthroned, 2,000 households in the food town, and the rest of Duan Xi, Lu Feng, Zhang Biao, Su Yao, Fan Chao, etc. are enshrined as pavilions, or each has an official position.

However, a special note was added that these thrones are all permanent and cannot be hereditary.

In history, Emperor Huan of the Han Dynasty rewarded his ministers with five eunuchs, known as the Five Candidates in history, which further aggravated the phenomenon of eunuch dictatorship.

Therefore, Liu Zhi deliberately paid attention to balancing the forces of all parties in this regard, so as not to make one family dominant.

There was a serious vacancy in the position of the secretary of the imperial court, especially among the three dukes, there were two less at once, and the Taiwei and Situ were both waiting for the position.

Huang Qiong, who was framed and deposed by Liang Ji during the reign of Emperor Chong, was reinstated and reappointed as a lieutenant because of his high morality and fearlessness.

Shang Shu Ling Yin Xun was promoted to Situ for merit, and Yuan Xuan was Shang Shu Ling......

Most of the remaining vacant positions of the 2,000 Shi ministers were nominated by the Third Duke and the Shang Shutai, and the ministers discussed and then appointed.

Basically, these people are also honest and talented people, who belong to multiple factions and check each other.

In order to balance the forces of all parties, Liu Zhi did not make his own decisions about the appointment of the minister, but as for the middle and low-level officials below, he had some ideas of his own.

However, this could only be implemented after discussing with several important ministers of the imperial court, so he simply postponed the matter for further discussion.

Finally, the outer court was temporarily settled, and the originally empty Chongde Hall was lively again.

A new generation replaces the old, but what remains unchanged is the struggle for power.

But Liu Zhi was full of fighting spirit, believing that in time, he would have the ability to change the weakened Eastern Han Dynasty.

Pull the desperate man back on the strong chariot and continue to run wildly.

The next thing to be decided is the appointment and dismissal of the inner court, and Liu Guanghe, the permanent attendant of the Zhongchang Waiter, has been removed from office because he is Liang Ji's lackey.

Liu Zhi did not add to it, but just took the opportunity to restore the position of the middle attendant to four, and the two positions added by the Empress Dowager Liang were written off.

Because Cao Teng stood neutral and did not help each other, this time there was no merit or fault, but his previous support for the establishment was indelible, so he was still the head of the four permanent servants.

Zhou Fu was transferred to the Taifu of Deyang Palace, replaced by Shan Chao as the middle attendant, Xu Huang's position remained unchanged, and the remaining one was Tang Heng.

Zuo Yi was promoted to the Yellow Gate Commander, Zhang Rang was promoted to the Little Yellow Gate, and the left one was the Yellow Gate Squire.

These people are all close to Liu Zhi, and it can be said that the power in the entire palace has been completely controlled by him.

After the court meeting, he left the newly appointed Taiwei Huang Qiong, because it was noon, he gave Dan food in the Zhongde Palace, and the two chatted while eating.

Huang Qiong is over the age of six, and her hair is snow-white, but she is old and strong, energetic, and has a loud voice, which is somewhat similar to Du Qiao.

This age can be said to be a long life in the Eastern Han Dynasty, you must know that the average life expectancy at that time was very low, only in his forties, so he respected the elderly and virtuous people so much.

The two have basically never met before, so Liu Zhi also wants to have a good relationship with him first, and more importantly, find out his temperament.

"What does the captain like to eat on weekdays, next time I will ask the kitchen staff to make it for you."
