Huang Fuchu and Zhong Xuan are also old tears, when Yuan Xie made this decision, they were by Yuan Xie's side, but they were powerless to stop Yuan Xie, this is the respect for Yuan Xie, but also admiration, but also the trust of Yuan Xie, they believe that Yuan Xie has grown into a real man, and what he does must have his reason. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Wiping away tears, Huang Fuchu and Zhong Xuan knelt down at Yuan Qi's feet again, and said loudly: "The country cannot be without a king for a day, I respectfully ask King Yan to succeed to the throne of the Son of Heaven!"

In the face of the pleas of dozens of ministers, Yuan Qi wiped the tears from his face, glanced in the direction where Yuan Xie's body was stored, and said slowly: "Everyone, now that the bones of the Holy Lord are not cold, this matter will be discussed later, this king should be the Holy Guardian for 7749 days, during this period, all major matters in the court and China will be decided by all the adults. Let's talk about everything in forty-nine days. ”

Saying that, Yuan Qi slowly walked down the city wall and walked in the direction of Yuan Xie's body, Yuan got up and went to Yuan Xie's coffin, stood still, and stayed awake all night. No one knew what he was thinking, but everyone could feel the endless sadness in him......

On the second day, when the sky was bright, Yuan Qi left 30,000 people to Song Qiong and Song Xi's brothers, asking them to guard the Xiegu Pass, and then returned to the capital with a large army and Yuan Xie's coffin.

After arriving in the capital, the ministers who stayed in the court had already built a mourning hall, and used white silk cloth to spread it from the mourning hall in the palace to ten miles outside the city to welcome the coffin of Yuan Xie.

Yuan Qi personally supported the spirit, walking in the forefront; Qi Tian, Zhao Hu, Zhang Wu, and Zuo Ci acted as the hands of the spirit, respectively carrying the four corners of Yuan Xie's coffin, and followed Yuan Qi step by step; in the back, the people were divided into two columns. The people of the Yan Kingdom stood on the left, while the Chinese Wu of the Dynasty who accompanied the Yuan Association on the expedition stood on the right.

When Yuan Qi walked by holding Yuan Xie's coffin. The hundreds of military officials of the Chinese dynasty who stood on both sides and came out of the city to greet them immediately knelt on the ground, not only to pay their last respects to Yuan Xie, but also to pay homage to Yuan Qi, the new monarch who was about to ascend to the throne of the Son of Heaven.

Yuan Qi walked forward, while taking in the expressions of the ministers of civil and military affairs on both sides, he wanted to have an intuitive understanding of these officials in the court.

Ten miles of white silk finally came to an end, in front. It is the mourning hall built by the ministers for the Yuan Association. Yuan Qi asked the four of Qi Tian to settle Yuan Xie's coffin and place it in the center of the mourning hall, and then picked up a piece of filial piety belt placed aside and tied it on his head......

For the next seven hundred and forty-nine days, Yuan Qi stayed in the mourning hall and never left an inch. Forty-nine days later, Yuan Qi took off his filial piety belt and walked out of the mourning hall of Yuan Xie. Outside the mourning hall, Huang Fuchu and Zhong Xuan and other civil and military officials had already lined up in two columns, waiting for Yuan to rise. During this period of time, more than 20 senior officers have been inexplicably taken away by the Tiangui Army, which still makes them feel a little shocked, you know, not every vampire is a hideous face, on the contrary, many people suck the blood and sweat of the common people on the one hand, and on the other hand, they pretend to be compassionate, therefore, among those officials who were taken away by the Tiangui Army, many of them are shown as good people on weekdays, and they were arrested, which still attracted the attention of the Manchu Dynasty civil and military.

After glancing around at all the civil and military officials, Yuan Qi slowly spoke: "Ladies and gentlemen, this king hopes that everyone will work together to assist this king in making the country's governance prosperous, so as to fulfill the last wish of the previous emperor. ”

After the opening remarks, Yuan Qi continued straightforwardly: "Let's talk about it, there are two points for everyone to keep in mind. First, although this king was favored by the first emperor and passed on the throne of the Son of Heaven to this king, in the future, this king can temporarily take the position of regent, and after the state affairs are stable, he will discuss the establishment of a new king with all his ministers. ”

"Second. The purpose of everyone's coming today is also very clear to this king. You must be wondering why this king wants to arrest twenty-one court officials, and this king tells you that this move is not because this king wants to use them to establish authority, but because they deserve it!" As he spoke, Yuan Qi took out a pile of testimony from his bosom, handed it to Zhong Xuan, and then said loudly: "These people are all moths that suck the blood and sweat of my Yuan people! Parasites! They have all confessed their sins, and this is their testimony! This king does not want to see people among you in the future behave like them, do you understand?"

It wasn't until this moment that the officials understood. It turned out that the twenty-one ministers that Yuan Qi had asked the Tiangui Army to arrest were all corrupt officials hiding in the shadows! Under the leadership of Huang Fuchu and Zhong Xuan, the hundred officials knelt on the ground towards Yuan Qi and said in unison: "The regent is wise! The regent is Chitose Chitose Chitose!"

It can be said that the fire of Yuan Qi burned just right. Originally, Yuan Qi was famous, and many of these ministers of the DPRK and China had seen Yuan Qi's majesty on the battlefield with their own eyes, and they were a little in awe of Yuan Qi in their hearts, and now Yuan Qi used thunder means. In one fell swoop, he defeated 21 corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and even made them see the vigorous and resolute side of Yuan Qi.

In the following period, Yuan Qi made some significant adjustments to the entire state apparatus.

First of all, it is to move the capital. The capital has gone through wars and turmoil, the people have withered, and it is no longer suitable to be the national capital, and the capital is located in the center of Henan, too close to Xuchang, the base camp of Yugong Zhaolie, and it may be surrounded by Yugong Zhaolie if he is not careful, so Yuan Qi decided to move the capital to Yanjing. After opening up the three states of Guang, Ming and Tong, the territory of northern Xinjiang has been greatly expanded, and Yanjing is located at the junction of the north and south centers, just like a heart is located in the upper body of the human body, and the capital will be moved to Yanjing, which is expected by all.

Secondly, the whole army. During the reign of Yuan Xie, he supported an army of 100,000 people, and after fighting in Hanzhong and Mount Tai, there are now only more than 70,000 people left, and this has to count the regular troops guarding the two areas of Guanzhong and Sanfu. For this reason, Yuan Qi left 30,000 Yan army iron cavalry and handed them over to Huangfu Chu, so that he could stay in the capital and guard the Central Plains. At the same time, Yuan Qi also granted Huangfu the authority to recruit 20,000 troops at the beginning of the year to strengthen the defense of Guanzhong and Sanfu areas.

Third, governance. On the reform of this point, Yuan Qi listed several small items in detail, he first tested the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, all those who do not meet the standards, or the character is too poor, will be eliminated from the team of managers, the future strong men, do not need these people who are not capable or have bad ideas, sit in a high position and hold Houlu, but need pragmatic, people who can really think about the people, to be the management class. At the same time, Yuan Qi also integrated the Guanzhong region and the Sanfu region, abolished the regional title, and no longer called it the Sili School Captain Department, but renamed Sizhou, Sizhou has six counties, covering all the counties and counties in Guanzhong and Sanfu regions, and Huangfu was the first Sizhou pastor. Among the other civil and military officials who had been assessed, Yuan Qi left eighteen people headed by Zhu Hao to assist Huangfu Chu in governing Sizhou, and the rest followed Yuan Qi back to Yanjing to prepare to take over new positions.

The above points are only what Yuan Qi can think of temporarily, and after returning to Yanjing, he will have a detailed consultation with the people under his command, and appoint every old official of the imperial court, of course, these old officials are now under Yuan Qi's command, in the process of consultation, they have the right to recommend themselves and the right to speak, and everyone has a common purpose, that is, to make the empire better and better.

The new regime, with Yan as a template, transplanted the entire institution of Yan State, formed a new leadership group, the original Yan State civil and military officials, in accordance with their original positions, began to take over the power and responsibility of the entire empire; and the old officials of the imperial court headed by Zhong Xuan, a total of 81 people passed the personal assessment of Yuan Qi, these people will be reassigned to positions according to their personal expertise, and added to the management, the only thing that remains unchanged is that their official rank has not been lowered by Yuan Qi, on the contrary, such a talented and loyal old minister as Zhong Xiang has also been promoted, entered the government office, and replaced Dong He as the chief consul。

In order to encourage ministers to concentrate on governance, and at the same time to establish a reward and punishment system in which meritorious service must be rewarded and those who have been punished must be punished, Yuan Qi asked Chen Qun to draw up a new system of division of official ranks, abolishing the original system of three princes and nine secretaries, and beginning to implement the nine-grade Zhongzheng system. Chen Qun was originally in history, the first nine-grade system, coupled with Yuan Qi's inspiration to him, he soon created a complete and rigorous official rank system, which is more perfect than the historical nine-grade Zhongzheng system, Yuan Qi was very satisfied after reading Chen Qun's draft, and immediately determined and implemented this system.

Yuan Qi knows that his generation, no matter how strong it is, can only ensure that the regime will stand at the top of the world in a few decades, but if he wants to pass it on from generation to generation, it is indispensable to cultivate his successors. Only by allowing the successors to establish a correct outlook on life and values from an early age will they be full of vitality and will not become corrupt in a short period of time.

Such an order, Yuan Qi has been issued once before this, Jiang Wei, Guo Huai and Du Pre and others led by young talents have received higher education from Yenching University, among which Guo Huai has been successful in his studies, and succeeded Qi Tian as the governor of the state, which sets a benchmark for the successors, as long as they have excellent grades in Yenching University, it is possible to directly enter the management structure, and there is a certain chance to be a feudal official. Although Jiang Wei has not yet graduated, he often participates in military deployments, and follows Zhao Hu to participate in the campaign to pacify the Goryeo Kingdom.

This time, the students are mainly the heirs of the old officials of the imperial court, and their number accounts for more than sixty percent of the total number of students, and the other less than forty percent of the students are the children of the poor family selected from all over the country according to the praise of the people.

There are a total of one hundred and eight students in the new batch, among them, Yuan Qi is the most optimistic, and there are three people who attach the most importance to it, one is Zhong Hui, the youngest son of the old minister Zhong Xuan, the other is Wen Yang, the second son of the Yingyang general Wen Qin, and the last one, Deng Ai, who was born in poverty, Yuan Qi now let them enter Yenching University, is to further strengthen their cultural literacy, get rid of the shortcomings of their character, and also want them to make a deep friendship in the process of studying together, they plus Jiang Wei and Du Pre, will form the backbone of the future country, supporting the country can survive for a long time。

Among these three people, Deng Ai is the oldest, but he is only in his twenties, Zhong Hui and Wen Yang are only fifteen or sixteen years old, in order to better shape these three people, Yuan Qi let Zhuge Liang serve as Zhong Hui's teacher, let Zhao Hu accept Wenyang as an apprentice, and let Zhang Chong accept Deng Ai as a disciple. In normal times, these boys have their own masters to teach, and once the war starts, their masters are busy, and Mr. Shuijing, Sima Hui, will temporarily play the role of their teachers, teaching them all kinds of knowledge.
