Chapter 193 Liquidation

It is really a great fortune for the people in the world to have such an open-minded emperor in the Han Dynasty.

Once, like Li Gu and others, he felt that it was a pity in his life that he failed to arch the talented and famous King Qinghe to the throne.

But now he feels that although Liang Ji has all kinds of evils, he did the right thing and chose a good emperor for the Han by mistake.

As an emperor, in fact, it really doesn't matter whether he is talented or not, if he needs to do everything himself, then what do so many courtiers do.

The key is that he must have the mind and bearing that can accommodate all rivers, the way of appointing people on the basis of merit, and the great compassion of all people.

Squinted at Liu Garlic, whose face was like gold paper, at this moment, Yuan Tang looked down on him in his heart.

The gentleman is frank, the villain is a relative, this person is just a complete villain.

Sitting on the high throne, Liu Zhi had a full view of all the ministers, and now he was very glad that he was deaf and clear-sighted, and he was good at observing and judging other people's micro-expressions.

Which people are relieved and secretly happy, which ones are stunned and depressed, and which ones are ashamed......

He looked at them one by one, but his face was silent, after going through wind and rain, now he has learned not to express his feelings easily.

"Your Majesty is really a benevolent and righteous king through the ages, and this kind of magnanimity is unparalleled in the past, and it will definitely be written in the history books in the future."

Situ Yinxun spared no effort to praise, and the rest immediately followed, and for a while Liu Zhi was submerged in all kinds of renovations and praises.

Liu Zhi secretly said in his heart, today he copied the homework of Cao Cao, the hero of the Three Kingdoms, I don't know if this is another form of "stealing"?

When Long Linwei presented the letter before, how to deal with it really made him a little embarrassed, and it didn't seem appropriate to read it or not.

These letters were like a time bomb, a powerful barrier between him and his courtiers.

In the middle of the dilemma, when he saw Cao Teng at a glance, he suddenly had an idea, and he clearly remembered that there was a very famous bridge in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, which was often talked about.

After the Battle of Guandu, Cao Cao found a box of letters, all of which were evidence of his subordinates secretly communicating with Yuan Shao.

But there were too many people, so Cao Cao was also in a dilemma, and after careful consideration, he finally wisely chose to burn it in public.

This move was extremely clever, which directly stabilized the morale of the army, and also showed his magnificence as a politician, and won him the hearts of countless people.

Today's situation is quite similar to it, Liu Zhi immediately did not hesitate to copy it all, and now it seems that it is really a remarkable achievement.

"You have all worked hard today, after this chaos, the Beijing division is in ruins, and the relevant yamen should perform their duties and restore the people's livelihood as soon as possible."

With a "boycott", this vigorous and twist-and-turn court meeting finally came to an end.

Liu Zhi went straight back to the Zhongde Palace, and the ministers also hurried back to their respective yamen, and now the Jingshi is in a mess everywhere, and they are busy.

Only one person was forgotten in the main hall, he entered Beijing without an edict, rushed to come, but ended up like this in an instant, it is really sad and lamentable.

His Majesty didn't speak, and the others avoided it, Liu Garlic staggered up, the expression on his face was like crying and laughing, and he looked crazy.

Before leaving the main hall, he glanced back at the throne that stood high above, for which he had spent his entire life and now completely cut off hope......

Liu Zhi, who returned to the Zhongde Palace, immediately issued the first edict to welcome the Empress Dowager Liang back to Yongle Palace, and the imperial concubine Yun Ming returned to Yong'an Palace.

This was the first time he had mentioned his mother in an edict, but it did not attract anyone's attention, let alone the accusations of troubled courtiers, and even the Empress Dowager Liang remained silent.

Since Liang Ji was ambushed in March, and now Zhao Jie has been beheaded, in just a few months, the capital can be described as rumors and turmoil.

However, in order to stabilize the situation as soon as possible, Liu Zhi chose to minimize the killing, except for the three clans of Zhao Jiayi, the other rebels only killed the main culprit, and the family was only sentenced to exile.

The guards and soldiers who participated in the rebellion and the Yulin army were not held accountable, but only carried out a thorough rectification of them.

Yin Jiali of Henan, who fled in a hurry, was taken by the Bingzhou army who rushed over to hand over the captain of the city gate, and after Liu Garlic, the king of Qinghe, went out of the Pingcheng Gate, he was discouraged and chose to hang the southeast branch.

After receiving the news, Liu Zhi just smiled and went around and around, he still couldn't escape the fate of hanging himself, but because of a thought, he ruined his reputation for half a lifetime.

"The edict was still buried with the rites of the clan, and his family was demoted to the common people, except for the throne of Qinghe."

It's not that he is hypocritical, after all, King Qinghe is an authentic Liu clansman, and for the sake of his self-determination, this bit of dignity still has to be given.

Of course, there is also an indispensable reward for meritorious deeds.

Taiwei Huang Qiong, Sikong Yuan Tang and others were originally ranked among the three dukes, and they had no reward for their positions, so they had to give some wealth and silk, and then added some honorary titles.

Zhao Kai, the lieutenant general of the Tiger Army, has meritorious service in protecting the master, and he became the youngest Guangluxun and ranked among the nine kings.

As for Yang Jian, Shan Chao, Xu Huang and other emperors' henchmen, they are also mainly rewarded with wealth.

And the soldiers in the alley not only got the promised money, but also were scattered and incorporated into the Weiwei and Yulin Army, and served with the children of those families.

Liu Zhi took this opportunity to change the personnel structure of several forbidden armies and firmly held them in his hands.

Now, he can finally breathe a sigh of relief, at least among the Jingshi, no one can shake his rule.

The whole middle of September was spent in a busy situation, Liu Zhiri was so busy that he was almost dizzy, and even forgot his birthday.

In this era, birthdays are not yet popular, even if it is the emperor's birthday, there is no reason to celebrate it solemnly.

In addition, he came through time, so he naturally didn't have much interest in the birthday of the original body, so he didn't pay attention to it.

On September 21, Liu Zhi, as usual, got up early to deal with government affairs in the Zhongde Palace, but when it was breakfast time, he heard a report outside, "Deng Guiren asks to see." ”

Hey? What is this girl running to do, Liu Zhi is a little puzzled, could it be that she has been busy with state affairs these days and has snubbed her?

"Pass her in."

Not long after, Deng Meng personally walked in with a smile and a food box.

Now her abdomen is slightly bulging, and signs of pregnancy can be seen.

"Your Majesty, the concubine has brought you breakfast."

As he spoke, he opened the food box and took out a bowl of hot soup cakes, the dough was slightly yellow, covered with a few slices of braised beef, and sprinkled with chopped green onions and coriander, which looked very attractive.

"Wow, it's so fragrant, why did you suddenly remember to bring me soup cakes today?"

Liu Zhi took it and smelled it, and sure enough, the fragrance was strong and appetizing.

"Your Majesty has worked hard for state affairs, but you have forgotten that today is your birthday."

Deng Meng chuckled softly when he heard this.
