- Chapter 419: Who sits on the throne?
When Ximen Qing led his army into the city, Wu Yong and Guan Sheng also entered through the east and west gates, and after placing their troops, they entered the imperial city and joined Ximen Qing.
At this time, Ximen Qing was sitting on the dragon chair in the Jinluan Hall, looking at the officials below him with a proud expression. No wonder Ximen Qing was so proud. The Song Dynasty was in chaos, and rebels were everywhere. The throne was snatched back and forth, but in the end it was in his own hands. Those opponents died and escaped. This is indeed something Ximen Qing should be proud of.
Ximen Qing coughed and then said: "Everyone, now that the traitor Zhao Yunluo has been driven away and turned into a lost dog, the Song Dynasty has returned to Qingming. But the country cannot live without a king for a day. Look, who is suitable to sit on the throne? ah?"
With that said, Ximen Qing patted the dragon chair.
The ministers below were sweating profusely, boss, you are already sitting on the throne, who dares to do it again? Isn't that seeking death?
At this time, Li Kui laughed loudly and shouted: "Of course the commander will do it! Commander, you will be the emperor, and I, Tieniu, will be the general, haha!"
Ximen Qing glared and shouted: "Tieniu, shut up! Although I am the King of Han, I am also a minister, but it is not my turn to take the throne!"
Lin Chong cupped his fists and said, "Commander, you are wrong. Now that the Song Dynasty is in crisis and rebellions are everywhere, we need a saint with great ability and luck to lead the world and bring peace and tranquility to the world. The commander-in-chief is the King of Han. The emperor is a relative of the country, and no one in the Song Dynasty can inherit the throne at this time. If the leader does not act, wouldn¡¯t he be ignoring the safety of the Song Dynasty? We will never obey! "
"Yes, I won't obey. Commander, be the emperor, be the emperor, be the emperor!" Wu Song, Lu Zhishen and others got excited, raised their hands and shouted. Immediately, the entire Golden Palace was filled with this slogan.
Ximen Qing¡¯s face was expressionless, but he was smiling secretly in his heart.
Finally, Ximen Qing pondered for a moment, pressed his hands, and let everyone calm down.
Ximen Qing said: "Since you all admire so much, it would be unjust for me not to obey. But after all, I am a king with a different surname, not a real relative of the emperor. So, let me act as the emperor's authority first. As for the throne, first It's empty. I heard that Zhao Kai's queen is pregnant. As long as she can give birth to an heir, she will be a true royal family and will inherit the throne in the future."
As soon as these words came out, all the civil and military officials almost fell to the ground.
Zhao Kai has been dead for several months, and his queen has long since disappeared. Still pregnant, how can I get pregnant?
But they didn¡¯t dare to say it, so they could only shout: ¡°The King of Han is wise!¡±
Ximen Qing said: "Since all the officials agree, let's do it like this. Now I will issue a few imperial edicts. Minister of Rites, you prepare to sacrifice to heaven. In ten days, I will sacrifice to heaven to pray for blessings."
The Minister of Rites hurriedly knelt on the ground and shouted: "Yes, Your Majesty!"
Ximen Qing raised his eyebrows, took a deep look at the Minister of Rites, and thought to himself, this old guy is sensible and worth cultivating.
????????????????????????????????????????????] Then Ximen Qing said again: "The Minister of War, the Privy Council, you have ordered the mobilization of military commanders from all over the country to return to Beijing to face the Holy Spirit. If they fail to resist the order, report the news directly to Wu Yong, and he will make a decision."
The Minister of War and the four Privy Councilors prostrated themselves and said, "Yes, Your Majesty!"
Ximen Qing narrowed his eyes and thought to himself, these four people are ignorant and rebellious and cannot be kept.
Subsequently, Ximen Qing canonized the leaders of Liangshan one by one.
"Wu Yong and Song Jiang, I grant you two the title of grand master of the left and right!"
"Guan Sheng is a mighty general!"
"Xu Ning is General Leopard Wind!"
When the last Duan Jingzhu was canonized, Liangshan leaders were all held in various important positions, and the guaranteed rights were all in the hands of Ximen Qing.
Subsequently, Ximen Qing issued another military order.
He ordered generals Guan Sheng, Lin Chong, Qin Ming, Hua Rong, Hu Yanzhuo, etc. to divide their troops into twelve groups. Twenty days later, they each commanded their respective battalions to fight against the Song Dynasty and recover all the rebel areas. There would be plans for rebellion. Clean all areas.
At the same time, Ximen Qing also distributed the captured Song troops to each battalion. At this point, the number of troops in each battalion has increased from 25,000 to 30,000. Although it is not many, with its strong combat power, as long as there are not 100,000 thieves, it can be easily eliminated.
Finally, Ximen Qing issued some reform policies, such as reducing taxes, reducing tribute, allocating funds to rescue disaster-stricken areas, tightening laws, reforming systems, etc.
? Among them, strict laws include increasing the punishment for some crimes. For example, if an official is found to be corrupt, if the situation is found to be true, he will hold his staff once for every one hundred taels of silver embezzled. As long as you dare to be greedy, don't be afraid of being discovered. As long as he is discovered, he deserves to be beaten to death. In addition, when it comes to punishing corrupt officials, as long as corrupt officials take human lives seriously, then one life will pay for a life.
Of course, if a corrupt official dares to be corrupt, he will have ways to prevent being discovered. Therefore, Ximen Qing reformed the system, opened the Supervision Department to the outside world, and set up an anonymous reporting area. People can report at will, and then there will be specialized Supervision Department officials to investigate, thus deterring corrupt officials from doing whatever they want to a large extent.
Such reforms and systems are being issued continuously.
As soon as Ximen Qing's series of orders were issued, all the officials were shocked and worried. They were shocked that as long as Ximen Qing's orders were implemented, the hearts and minds of the people in the world would all be tied to Ximen Qing. The worry is that from now on, they will have to live on tenterhooks.
Of course, Ximen Qing also increased their salary, which made their worries a little better.
The court meeting did not end until ten o'clock in the afternoon, and then Ximen held a banquet in honor of hundreds of officials, and the celebration lasted until evening.
At night, Ximen Qing chatted with Song Jiang and Wu Yu in the imperial study.
Wu Yong frowned and said, "Commander, the reform orders you issued today are very innovative, but I'm afraid they won't be easy to implement!"
Wu Song nodded and said: "Yes, some areas are far away from the capital and have constant traffic. It is the county magistrate who dominates and dominates. Even if he takes bribes and takes human life seriously, it will be difficult for the people to sue them!"
Ximen Qing said with a smile: "You are right. In remote areas, officials are indeed still doing random things. However, we have given the people a belief and let them know that the court will not tolerate those corrupt officials, and then the people will have hope. , rather than despair. Besides, even if the area is remote, people can go to the capital to complain. We must vigorously publicize the supervision laws and let the people believe that the court will make the decision for them! Of course, this is just the first attempt, so I only Experiment in Beijing. If the effect is good, I will promote it when the world is peaceful in the future. What do you think?"
Wu Yong and Song Jiang nodded and said, "That's great, it's a blessing for the people!"
Ximen Qing also laughed.
Later, Wu Yong asked: "By the way, Commander, in twenty days the army will send out all-out troops to fight against the thieves. At that time, many leaders will set off. We will stay in the capital to preside over the grand event, but what about Zhao Yunluo? Don't we pursue him? Why don't we pursue him?" With Tang Tianheng, keeping these two people will be a big problem!"
ps: Saorui, I¡¯ve been too busy these days.
