Chapter 20: Final(1/2)

"Have you heard it? Last night, the British Duke's Mansion was looted by King Qing's defeated soldiers. The British Duke and his son were removed from the top of the palace and hung them in front of the mansion to expose their bodies. It was so miserable."

"But why do I always think this is wrong? Isn't the Duke of England the same party as King Qing? And in terms of wealth, wouldn't the Duke of Rong next door be richer? Why is it okay?"

"I heard that someone watched Song Mo bring people into the Duke of England's mansion last night."

"Song Mo? Is the abandoned son who had an affair with his maid during the mourning period and was expelled from the Duke of England's mansion?"

"Shh, don't die anymore. The new emperor ascended the throne. Then Song Mo is the most meritorious minister. If he hears it, he will not kill you with his father and brother."

Half a month has passed since Qin Hao ascended the throne, but the impact of the bloody coup half a month ago has just begun.

In the morning court, a censor came out and said loudly: "Your Majesty, although King Qing was executed, his gangsters are still free from justice. I ask Your Majesty to investigate thoroughly and punish severely."

Suddenly, many princes and ministers in the court shivered.

After so many years in the court, all experienced old bureaucrats present were seen at first sight. The censor was just a cover, and the real person behind the scenes was the one sitting high on the dragon throne.

As soon as the censor finished speaking, Dou Shishu hurriedly left work: "Your Majesty, King Qing has long been in a position to rebel. He has privately recruited a large number of officials. If he does not thoroughly investigate, it will be difficult for the late emperor to rest in peace."

Qin Hao glanced at the ministers present and said in a deep voice: "What do you guys think?"

"I'm going to discuss it."

"I also agree."

"If King Qing's party is not eliminated, it is difficult to tolerate heaven."

In Dou Shishu's eager eyes, Qin Hao did not hand over the errand to him, but looked at Ji Yong.

"Ji Aiqing, this matter will be left to you for full trial. Remember, you cannot wrongly accuse a good person, and you must never let go of a King Qing rebel."

Ji Yong came out of his class and knelt down: "I obey the order."

"Report early if you have something to do, and leave the court if you have nothing to do!"

After going to court, Ji Yong was immediately surrounded by ministers, and they all invited him to the banquet. Dou Shishu felt so sad when he watched this scene. Although Ji Yong had the ability to follow the dragon, he was still the real brother of the current father-in-law. As a result, such a good thing fell on a junior.

Everyone knows that checking the rebels is actually just a reason. Qin Hao’s real purpose is to clean up the court and put some important positions in his own people.

However, this is also a job of offending people. After all, no one of these officials and nobles is not getting married to each other, and the relationship is intricate.

If Ji Yong hadn't been too young and had too shallow qualifications and needed this achievement to get him into the cabinet, Qin Hao wouldn't have done so.

Ji Yong was very open-minded: "What Ji Yong wished in his life was to show what he learned in his heart. Even if he didn't offend those borers today, they would offend sooner or later. Not only would they offend them, but I would also remove them one by one. As long as Your Majesty trusts Ji Yong, Ji Yong will be fine."

"Don't worry, Ji Aiqing, you are not Shang Yang, and I am not King Huiwen of Qin."

After Ji Yong left, Qin Hao came to Kunning Palace and found that Dou Zhao was settled again, and he couldn't help but feel funny.

"How is it? Have the accounts of the Ministry of Internal Affairs settled clearly?"

It would be fine if I didn't say it, but Dou Zhao complained: "Those who were keeping accounts in the Ministry of Internal Affairs should have taken them out and killed them with a stick. No, they were killed ten times. What a mess of this is better than an ordinary merchant apprentice to remember clearly."

"If I remember clearly, how do they do it?"

Qin Hao walked behind Dou Zhao and pressed her smooth shoulders: "It's all old accounts, just let your subordinates calculate it. There is no need to do everything yourself."

"Well, I have asked An Su to find someone to come to the database for me. The main reason is that I have nothing to do on weekdays, so I can still get faster when I calculate the accounting."

To be honest, Empress Dou Zhao did it so easily. Previously, Empress Wan only favored the harem, which led to Zhu Jianshen's few concubines, but also had relatively short lives. Now only three of them are left, and they have all been named as concubines.

These three concubines were also scared by Queen Wan. They were all so honest. They stayed in their palace every day and visited fewer people, so there was no need to worry about Dou Zhao at all.

As for the harem, Qin Hao had just ascended the throne and his harem was still empty, so naturally there was no intrigue.

"By the way, my father came to visit yesterday and said that it was Duke Kang's mansion coming to propose marriage and wanted Sister Ming to marry the second son of Duke Kang's mansion."

Qin Hao joked: "I heard that the second son of Duke Kang's mansion is handsome and skilled in archery and horses. Duke Kang was willing to give up his book in order to cling to his wife."

Dou Zhao gave Qin Hao a fierce look: "I said I was following me, but I was not following you. Who made my husband the current Majesty?"

After laughing and making a fuss, Dou Zhao asked hesitantly: "Is this second son of Duke Kang's mansion really that good?"

Dou Zhao has always been disdainful to those children from high-ranking families, and is also aware of the methods of those high-ranking families. As long as the lid is covered well, even the dirty people can blow the ceiling.

"My wife is so kind-hearted and cares about Wang Yingxue's daughter so much."

Faced with Qin Hao's joke, Dou Zhao said with slightest thought: "The main thing is that I don't want to make my father embarrassed, not to mention that women in this world are already difficult, and Wang Yingxue has already received her retribution, so why bother to implicate others again?"

"My wife is open-minded and admires her husband."

"I'm so sweet today. What's the purpose of saying it?"

Qin Hao said seriously: "Don't you think this harem is too deserted?"

"Didn't you not be able to choose a concubine during the national mourning period?" Dou Zhao blinked.

"Is there no other way to make the harem lively, but choose a concubine?"

"What else can I do?"

Qin Hao directly told Dou Zhao the answer with his actions, picked her up and strode towards the bedroom.

Dou Zhao then understood what Qin Hao meant, and struggled with shame: "Your husband is now the emperor, how can you be a day..."

Before Dou Zhao could say the last two words, he had already blocked his lips by Qin Hao.

...

Just as Ji Yong borrowed the name of the King of Qing to clear out some important positions in the court, Qin Hao also ordered the establishment of Enke and select talents.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! In order to ensure the fairness and justice of the exam, Qin Hao asked the Film Recording Guard to strictly control all the processes of the scientific examination. All officials involved in the scientific examination were also monitored and immediately taken down once they found any problems.

For this reason, a group of cabinet members led by Wu Ge Lao made suggestions to Qin Hao, asking him to cut off the Film Guard.

Qin Hao naturally would not do this self-destructive martial arts. Not only did he not abolish the Movie Guard, but he also expanded the Movie Guard. In addition to the original North and South Duke Department, he also added a "Shadow Hall" that specializes in handling domestic intelligence and a "Jueying Hall" that specializes in handling foreign intelligence.

After Enko ended, Ji Yong, under the instruction of Qin Hao, selected a group of new Jinshi to participate in the promotion of Tudou.

However, even if an imperial edict is issued, the promotion of potatoes is still difficult. For those evil gentry, potatoes will undoubtedly cut off their way to annex the land.

Linjiang Prefecture, Liu Yuanwai, the largest local gentry, joined hands with several major families. Not only did he refuse to try planting potatoes on his own fields, but he also incited villagers to cause trouble and surrounded Li Ming, a new Jinshi who went to persuade him, at the entrance of the county government.

In response, Ji Yong directly beheaded all the wealthy people who led the trouble and made public. The bloody heads rolled down, which also made the evil gentry lose the confidence to incite trouble.

Of course, snow-like memorials surged onto Qin Hao's table, all of which were participated in Ji Yong.

That night, the people who were leading the competition were invited by the Film Recorder to "drink tea". Under a big memory recovery technique, these people all offered their masterminds behind them.

For a time, the prison in Dali Temple was crowded with people, and the imperial prison of Jiyingwei was also crowded. From then on, no one dared to blatantly fight against Tudou promotion again.

In just one quarter, potatoes ushered in a great harvest. The common people who refused to grow potatoes could only watch as they moved potatoes from the field to their homes in baskets.

In the first year of Shengqian, the first year after Qin Hao ascended the throne, good news of harvest came from all over the country. It was also this year that the north suffered a large-scale snow disaster.

At this time, potatoes came in handy. A large amount of potatoes were used as food for disaster relief to save countless victims from starvation. After the disaster in previous years, the people could eat water porridge with no seeds of rice. This time they ate the potatoes. Not to mention how they tasted, they could still eat thick ones in the year of disaster. Many victims lamented that they had the first time in their lives.

"Long live your Majesty."

"Your Majesty's wiseness."

Wu Gelao and others, who had previously opposed the full promotion of potatoes, have also changed their attitudes.

"Your Majesty, General Song passed away last night, and the Duke Dingguo Mansion is organizing a funeral for him."

Song Mo did not survive this winter. When Song Yichun falsely accused Song Mo of having an affair with his maid during his mother's mourning, he poisoned the stick when he used family rules, so that Song Mo grayed his head overnight.

On the night when King Qing rebelled, Song Mo got Qin Hao's tacit approval and led his troops to surround the British Duke's Mansion. After dismantling Song Yichun and Song Han, he was already at the end of his strength and has been recuperating at home since then.

"Ji Aiqing, please come for me to express your condolences."

"I accept the order."

...

After three years of prosperity, Qin Hao sent an army of 200,000 to expedite Liaodong after two years of hiding his strength and resting his time.

Li Zhen, who was originally jumping up and down in Liaodong, was beaten to run away in a flash and fled to the deep mountains and forests. Even so, Qin Hao did not let them go and issued high rewards to other small tribes in Liaodong.

For a time, the Lizhen tribe was killed into an endangered species and eventually disappeared completely on the land in Liaodong.

In the fifth year of Shenggan, Qin Hao ordered the Fukuting navy to go to Fusang, beating the arrogant Oda Nobunaga so much that it fled in a panic, ending the Muromachi shogunate era.

After victory, the Futing Navy did not evacuate, but built towns in coastal areas and gradually eroded the Fusang local area.

During this period, Oda Nobunaga's subordinate Hideyoshi Toyotomi led the trashed soldiers, joined forces with Tokugawa Ieyasu, and tried to drive the Fukuing Navy into the sea, but was defeated. Tokugawa Hideyoshi fell directly into the sea and drowned. Tokugawa Ieyasu was captured alive and sent to the capital.

Qin Hao named him a "Duke of Wa" and imprisoned him in the capital.

At the same time, the news that the Futing Navy discovered a large number of silver mines in Fusang spread wildly, and soon attracted a large number of maritime merchants to explore Fusang, and they really discovered a large number of silver mines.

Now the maritime merchants' eyes were green and they quickly sent additional personnel to Fusang. Mining naturally requires personnel. It was too troublesome to transport people from inland to the past and the cost was also high.

So these maritime merchants set their sights on the local Japanese. At first, they pretended to spend money to hire them, but later they started to steal people.

The names of Fusang gradually discovered that there were fewer and fewer farmers in their fiefdoms and large-scale abandonment of land. After investigation, they found that they were all arrested as mine slaves.

Some daimyos were quite irritable and directly led their warriors and farmers to work with the escorts of the maritime merchants.

The result was obvious that the escorts of the maritime merchants won completely. In order to surround the silver mine, these maritime merchants were very willing to spend a lot of money. The escorts were all armed to the teeth, while the warriors of Daming were not even qualified for protective gear, let alone those farmers holding hoes.

Some smart daimyos went to negotiate with the Futing Navy Army. The Futing Navy naturally denied it. They had no contact with the maritime merchants and asked the daimyos to negotiate with the maritime merchants directly. Some daimyos secretly sent people to the capital to complain, but as soon as they arrived in the capital, they were arrested by the Jiying Guard and went to the imperial prison.

After ten years of his career, the names of Fusang were basically dead in name only. A large number of farmers under his command were arrested and mine slaves were not exploited. They were all so poor that they could only live a life with tight belts. At first, they planned to return to their old business and rob merchant ships, but they found that their small windsurfings were no match for the maritime merchants' ships.
