The square courtyard above her head was a little dazzling. Liu Ji couldn't see the appearance of the empress dowager through the heavy curtains..com Her voice sounded a little hoarse. Although she tried her best to hide it, Liu Ji Tuo still felt her concern: "What's wrong with the two children of the Ai family?"

Five of the eight iron-hat kings of the Qing Dynasty were now finished. Prince Zhuang was first confiscated and exiled. Then Prince Zheng Urgonga, Prince Su Jingmin, Prince Yu Quan, and Prince Yi Zaiyuan were not only confiscated, but now they are locked in prison. Only the two sons of the Empress Dowager, Liu Ji, just put them under house arrest.

Liu Ji thought about it and replied: "They all rely on the Queen Mother's Hong Fu, and they are all fine now."

"Does the emperor still remember the Yi imperial edict that supported the emperor under the Ai family? At that time, the emperor's imperial edict was not found."

Liu Ji knew that she was reminding herself that if it were not for the support of the Empress Dowager, the throne might not have been Daoguang's turn. In fact, this is the reason why Liu Ji did not kill Miankai and Mianxin. He could not let the world say that the emperor is ungrateful. Chinese people advocate virtue, let alone an emperor. Of course, this also created the emperor's natural hypocrisy. Liu Ji had been the emperor for nearly a year, and he began to understand some of the rules of being an emperor.

Liu Ji drank the people around him and stepped down. He knelt in front of the Empress Dowager's bedroom and said in pain: "The Empress Dowager is like my biological mother, and I also serve her as my biological mother. I dare not neglect any time I ask my mother for illness. Whenever my mother is sick, I prayed secretly in front of the gods, just to ask her mother to recover soon. The Empress Dowager was dissatisfied with her son's ministers. It seems that it was my recent actions that surpassed the rules of the ancestors and caused discussions between the royal family and the court. But I had no choice but to do some things."

After Liu Ji said that, the Queen Mother's bedroom calmed down. The breeze passed through the pane and swayed the curtain made of beads, vaguely revealing the queen mother's haggard face. After a long time, the Queen Mother's voice sounded inside: "Your Majesty, please withdraw the eunuch outside Shoukang Palace. The Ai family wants to go out to meet the two brothers Miankai and the two brothers."

Liu Ji replied: "Those eunuchs are just worried about my mother's safety. The chaos army has been killed in the imperial city these days. If my mother really thinks they are annoying, I will withdraw them when I go out. However, my mother is in poor health recently. I think it would be better to call the third brother of the emperor and the fourth brother of the emperor to the palace to greet you than the queen of the mother who goes out."

"Okay! Your Majesty, go out. The Ai family is tired and want to take a rest."

"My mother is lucky, I will leave."

After retreating from the house, Liu Ji let out a long sigh. He did not think that his direction of innovation was wrong, but realized an old saying, "Hastyness will not be achieved." Now he must temporarily quit the powerful royal forces. This contest has severely hit the royal forces. There are only three of the eight iron hat kings left, and there are only a few other princes left. Fortunately, the official and scholar groups did not unite with the royal forces to oppose themselves. This shows that the scholars of this era

The mainstream of the group still supports their current reform policies. After all, they have not touched their important interests yet, but have promoted outstanding figures like Tao Peng and Tang Jinzhao from this group. They have eliminated a large number of donating officials and appointed many scholars, which has even won the welcome of this group. You should know that the issue of donating officials has always been criticized by ministers in the court. In order to enrich the emperor's treasury, the donation system has seriously corrupted the official atmosphere, making it sad for those with knowledgeable people.

Taking advantage of this phased victory, Liu Jijiang participated in the rebellion's Firearms, Shenji Camp, Forward Camp, and Banner Guarding Camp, and all disbanded, and became the five new army towns. The former new army was one town, and two to five new towns were newly formed. In order to reduce the adverse effects, the disbanded soldiers were distributed to the severance pay and joined Mao Hongsui's expanded royal workshop, allowing these severed soldiers to become apprentices, and solving their survival problems.

The huge military construction costs and severance and resettlement costs required by these things happened to have the huge financial support obtained by the house search, which made Liu Ji's operation very smoothly.

***************************************

The rebellion of the kings was called the Jiashen riot by the court officials. After this incident, people clearly felt that the emperor had changed. Although everyone was still sitting on a stool in the morning court, the emperor rarely mentioned some rebellious issues. The emperor, who was angry whenever he heard the censor impeached the corrupt officials, disappeared from his face.

The court was calm, but there was a great change in the palace. Taking advantage of the rebellion of the Minister of the Leader's Guard during the Jiashen riot, Liu Ji canceled the actual rights of all the Minister of the Leader's Guard, but only left a false title of a first-rank official. The real guards were the two thousand guards, battalions and new troops led by Cheng Tinghua. In addition to strictly selecting and training in political and military skills, the Guards also replaced muskets and some artillery. The original Eight Banners of the Forbidden Brigade were the Xiaoqi Camp and the Tiger Guards. These two Eight Banners, which retained the number of the Eight Banners, were quickly reorganized and rebuilt.

Kuilun, the commander of the Tiger Gun Battalion, was transferred to the Assistant Minister of the Ministry of War. Bayanbatu, the commander of the Cavalry Battalion, was specially allowed by Liu Ji to reorganize the Cavalry Battalion by himself, but Bayanbatu had to study in the new army for March. The Han army in the Green Camp led by Cheng'an also carried out strict training. First, they cleared the empty salary in the army, eliminated the excess redundant personnel, and then organized all officers to take turns to train and study. The learning location was naturally the camp at the foot of Xiangshan, a new army town. After half a year, even he himself could not believe it.

By the end of the year, these newly built and reorganized troops had initial results and a military parade was performed outside the Desheng Gate in Beijing. On the day of the performance, Beijing was empty, and the huge temporary martial arts field was surrounded by a huge temporary martial arts field.

When dozens of square arrays of new troops in the five towns and infantry of 30,000 people appeared in the Tiger Gun Battalion, the onlookers cheered, and they were excited by such a majestic military force. The five thousand cavalrymen of the Knights were behind, and the five thousand iron cavalrymen were not holding long spears, but short muskets. Their beloved sabres could still be seen at the waists of the cavalry.

Veteran Yang Yuchun sat on the rostrum, looking at the soldiers trained by Liu Ji's method but didn't say much. Liu Ji guessed that the veteran general was probably thinking that the army would only know their value if it was to be brought to the battlefield.

In any case, this military parade achieved good results. Even an officer from the British Business Consulate gave a thumbs up to the military parade and said, "good".

The "Beijing Martial Arts Hall" that had been planned to be established shortly after the military parade was also completed near the Summer Palace. The establishment of the Martial Arts Hall finally gave Liu Ji a sigh of relief. Liu Ji was appointed as the chief instructor of the Martial Arts Hall. Those outstanding new officers who passed Liu Ji's strict training were appointed as instructors. In the future, more officers who understand the modern military system can be trained through the Martial Arts Hall.

Liu Ji's huge military reform only stayed in the Eight Banners and the Beijing Defense Forces of the Forbidden Brigade, and the local garrisoned Eight Banners and Green Camp remained the same. After some lessons, Liu Ji's progress became cautious, except for military affairs, without guns or a strong army, everything was free of negotiation.
