Chapter 209 Replace the imperial court and control Luoyang 【Seeking Monthly Pass】
"Deposed Emperor?"
"Zhu Yuanzhang, are you crazy? A man like you can bring up such a big thing?"
Three days later, in the court hall, in front of the civil and military officials of the court, the Young Emperor Liu Bian, and the Queen Mother He, Zhu Yuanzhang directly stated his proposal.
As soon as he said these words, all the civil and military officials in the court stared at Zhu Yuanzhang with wide eyes in disbelief.
It was as if I had just met him.
During this time, they had all learned about Zhu Yuanzhang's domineering behavior, but they really did not expect that Zhu Yuanzhang would be so domineering. This could not even be called domineering, but domineering.
Yuan Wei even directly and solemnly scolded Zhu Yuanzhang in front of the civil and military officials of the court.
His face was gloomy, but in fact, his heart was filled with ecstasy at the moment.
Because he felt that Zhu Yuanzhang was seeking his own destruction. Since ancient times, how could powerful officials end up well?
What's more, how can Zhu Yuanzhang be called a powerful minister now?
He is a small Weiwei and a second-rank official. Among the three nobles and nine ministers in the entire imperial court, he is simply not a high-ranking figure.
"What a treacherous and arrogant person. Come, come quickly, capture this person who speaks such arrogant words!" A figure flashed out from the crowd, but it was Tai servant Zuo Yu.
Zhu Biao, who was guarding the palace gate and was wearing bright armor, turned to look at the old man and straightened his armor without making any movement.
"Are you all deaf?" Zuo Yu became even more angry.
"Your Majesty, there's no need to scream. The Deyang Palace is surrounded by our manpower now. Without our orders, not even a mosquito can fly in. Even if you scream, no one will come!" Zhu Yuanzhang chuckled.
said with a smile.
His words immediately made all the ministers of the DPRK and China, including Yuan Wei, couldn't help but tremble.
You must know that a large part of the guards of Deyang Palace are internal guards.
The internal bodyguards are the personnel of the Ten Constant Attendants.
If even the internal bodyguards are Zhu Yuanzhang's people, doesn't it mean that the ten regular servants have taken refuge with Zhu Yuanzhang?
"How is this possible?" Yuan Wei felt a flash of shock in his heart.
The foundation of eunuchs is imperial power, and anyone may seek refuge with Zhu Yuanzhang, but Yuan Wei alone did not think of the Ten Permanent Attendants headed by Zhang Rang.
Because this seems impossible to him.
But now something incredible has happened.
He raised his head and looked at Liu Bian and Queen Mother He on the high platform.
Only then did I realize that although their faces were pale and their bodies were even slightly trembling, they did not do anything drastic after hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's rebellious words.
Obviously the emperor and the empress dowager knew about this matter in advance.
This further confirmed his guess.
Shi Changshi really rebelled.
After coming to this conclusion, Yuan Wei's heart suddenly sank into the valley.
Having the Ten Constant Attendants is equivalent to controlling the inner palace and the emperor. This means that Zhu Yuanzhang has greater power than he imagined. He is now more terrifying than General He Jin.
Realizing this, a drop of cold sweat flowed down Yuan Wei's forehead involuntarily.
He already understood that Zhu Yuanzhang was fully prepared for making such treasonous remarks in Deyang Palace today.
Perhaps no one in their hall will be able to walk out alive today.
"Your Majesty, what do you say?" Zhu Yuanzhang raised his head and looked at Young Emperor Liu Bian.
To be honest, I have always been called "Your Majesty" by others, and now I am suddenly called "Your Majesty" by others, which is really a bit uncomfortable.
"Lone...Lone willing!"
"The lonely king listens to the prime minister." Liu Bian said with a trembling voice.
He couldn't help but tremble, because in front of him, the usual groveling slaves were now staring at him fiercely with swords in their hands.
He had no doubt that as long as he said half a word "no", he would be hacked to death with random knives.
"Prime Minister, after my son abdicates the throne as emperor, I don't know where to send our mother and son?" Queen Mother He suddenly said.
"Of course it's a good place to go."
"I can assure you that it is ten thousand times better than the Imperial Palace of the Han Dynasty. You will definitely like it!" Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile.
He did not lie to Liu Bian. Soon he would send Liu Bian and others to the Ming Dynasty.
Let them see the prosperity of the Ming Empire.
Zhu Yuanzhang believed that after seeing the world of luxury and luxury, they would be happy to stop thinking about Shu... No, it should be said that they would be happy to stop thinking about Han.
"Rebel, I will fight with you!"
Suddenly at this moment, among the ministers in the distance, a figure flashed to Zhu Yuanzhang's side. His hands turned into claws and he wanted to grab Zhu Yuanzhang's neck.
Immediately behind him, five or six more ministers wanted to capture Zhu Yuanzhang in a desperate attempt.
Although the people standing in these court halls are all civil servants, they are after all people who have been tempered by the stars, and their strength and physical strength are several times higher than ordinary people.
But how could Zhu Yuanzhang not be prepared for this?
Before these people could get closer, they were directly knocked down and held down by the Jin Yiwei who was hiding in the dark.
"Drag it down!" Zhu Yuanzhang said.
"Zhu Yuanzhang, what exactly do you want to do?"
"The situation in the court has just stabilized, and you are going to cause trouble again. If the world is in chaos because of this, what do you think you can get?" Yuan Wei stood in front of several guards and spoke with a stern face.
He finally figured it out today. If they don't surrender, they will be in danger. Instead of hiding and lingering, it's better to give it a try.
In this way, even if he died, he believed that his son would leave the capital quickly, and then organize an army to come to Luoyang to attack the rebellious King Qin.
"Haha, who said we were going to get into trouble!"
"Mr. Yuan, look at it!" Zhu Yuanzhang squinted his eyes slightly and clapped his hands gently.
Immediately, a group of ministers filed in from the palace gate. After entering, everyone bowed to Zhu Yuanzhang.
"See you, my lord!" everyone said respectfully.
"This...this, you...what kind of magic did you cast? Who are these people?"
Yuan Wei looked at the person walking in the front, and a chill instantly rushed to his forehead.
Because this person looks exactly like me.
"How can this be?"
"How can there be two identical people in the world?"
"No, it's not just me, all the civil and military ministers in the dynasty are like this."
"This is so scary!"
"Haha... Mr. Yuan, you said, we can't change this Han Emperor." Zhu Yuanzhang ignored Yuan Wei who was shocked and speechless, but looked at Yuan Wei who had just come in and asked with a smile.
"My lord is the common master of the world. If my lord says to change, it will naturally happen." The new Yuan Wei said respectfully.
"Nonsense, you monster, I'm going to kill you!" Yuan Wei was furious and rushed towards the fake Yuan Wei.
He could already imagine what would happen in the court after today.
The imperial court will completely become Zhu Yuanzhang's one-word hall. The key is that all this is still unnoticed.
No one will realize this.
this is too scary.
"boom……!"
But before he could make any move, his vision went dark and he fainted.
Not only him, but all the ministers in the entire court are like this!"
On the high platform, the young emperor Liu Bian and the Queen Mother He who witnessed this scene were so frightened that they did not dare to say a word.
What I saw and heard today was really shocking.
These people's methods are simply like witchcraft.
"Your Majesty, why do I feel like I have become a villain?"
The fake Yuan Wei spoke again, but this time his voice became high-pitched.
Behind Gao Gong, the more than fifty Confucian and Taoist experts who were ordered to come this time all couldn't help but smile and nodded when they heard this.
"To these aristocratic families, we are indeed villains, but to the countless victims of freezing and starvation in this plane, we will be their great saviors."
"Do you understand?" Zhu Yuanzhang turned to look at these people.
"Your Majesty taught me that I understand." Gao Gong and others saluted respectfully.
These people, including Gao Gong, had already been preparing when they came to Luoyang. With the help of Jin Yiwei, they got close to the court ministers and then learned their every move for today.
He wanted to completely control Luoyang City and replace a large number of civil servants and generals in the city without anyone noticing.
Moreover, this replacement will not affect the operation of the Han Empire.
Gao Gong and others will perfectly take over the work from these people and do better than them.
To be honest, if Zhu Yuanzhang had followed his previous temper, he would have killed all the civil and military officials in the dynasty long ago.
That is to say, now that he is older, his murderous intention has become much weaker, and people in this world are indeed considered talents, he spared the lives of these people.
In the future, these people will be brought back to the Ming Empire together with the young emperor Liu Bian, where they will receive education in new ideas and strive to become talents useful to the Ming Empire in the future.
"Your Majesty, there is something strange happening in the Twelve Regiment Camp outside the city."
"Cao Cao and Yuan Shao are also sending troops here. What we did today may have been noticed." Suddenly Mu Ying hurried from outside the hall and spoke in Zhu Yuanzhang's ear.
"It doesn't matter, just let them come, and they will also inform the world about the deposed emperor." Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile.
Anyway, everything that should be prepared has been prepared now, at least there should be no mistakes in a short time.
After all, who would have thought that all the ministers in the court have been replaced by him!
Zhu Yuanzhang never expected that this matter would be perfect, he just needed a period of time as a buffer.
He was confident that as long as he was given some time, the situation of the entire Han Dynasty would be greatly improved.
And it’s a change that will benefit everyone.
At that point, there will be no point in not being discovered.
Soon the news that Young Emperor Liu Bian abdicated to Chenliu King Liu Xie spread throughout the Han Dynasty.
At the same time, the news spread throughout the world that Zhu Yuanzhang was promoted to Taiwei, in charge of the world's soldiers and horses, and took charge of the defense of Luoyang.
As soon as this incident was announced, it immediately caused an uproar in the entire Han Dynasty.
At the same time, the name Zhu Yuanzhang also appeared in the eyes of many people for the first time.
Everyone understands that the Han Dynasty is about to produce another upstart.
But the strange thing is that Luoyang, the center of this incident, is calm.
Regarding the matter of abolishing the Young Emperor, making Chenliu King Liu Xie the emperor, and making Zhu Yuanzhang the Grand Lieutenant, the ministers in the court unexpectedly reached a rare consensus, without causing any disturbance.
Not only that, the imperial court also issued several interesting decrees during this period.
One of them is to abolish the decree during the Ling Emperor's period that officials could buy and sell official positions with silver and gold, and at the same time issue a recruitment order to recruit knowledgeable people from all over the world for unified assessment and appointment.
The second one is to carry out work-for-relief. The imperial court will conduct unified repairs on the roads from Sili to Jizhou, Qingzhou and other places. All participants will be provided with food, clothing and housing, and will also be given three hundred wages per month.
The third is to establish the Military and Horse Division to clean up the bullies, hooligans and other people in the entire Luoyang City, check the gambling houses and brothels in the city, and tidy up the city appearance.
At the same time, many wealthy businessmen from Jizhou began to appear in Luoyang City in the past few days.
These people spent money like water and had a large amount of gold and silver in their hands. They used gold and silver that was much higher than the world price to buy large amounts of land, shops, and even slaves from many wealthy families.
At the same time, they also dumped a large amount of grain to Sili, causing the price of grain in Luoyang City to drop again and again.
Cao Cao even found out that they had contacted several local wealthy families in Sili to find out what kind of railway they wanted to build...
This series of actions is orderly, but there seems to be an invisible hand stirring up the situation behind the scenes.
"Wen Ruo, the more I see the current situation in Luoyang, the more wrong it becomes. What do you think is going on now?" In a restaurant, Cao Cao was discussing countermeasures with Xun Yu and Xun Wenruo, who had just returned to Luoyang from other places.
Seeing the worried look on Cao Cao's face, Xun Yu couldn't help but smile: "I think it's good like this now. I heard that the Taiwei is now very vigorous and resolute in his work. What's even more rare is that the policies he implemented are basically implemented very well."
Okay, there aren’t that many constraints.”
"For example, the gangsters, gambling houses, and brothels in Luoyang City who bully men and women. You must know that they have backstages behind them, and some even involve the royal family. But when I first entered Luoyang, I deliberately walked around the city.
After a while, it’s basically gone.”
"To be honest, Meng De, I have never seen such a Shangguan."
"I'm really becoming more and more curious about him." Xun Yu said with bright eyes.
He was transferred to Luoyang this time. He had originally been unwilling to stay in Luoyang to see the tyrannical behavior of the ten permanent servants, so he was transferred there.
But now he wants to come back.
Come back and see what methods the Taiwei used to make Luoyang City become better day by day.
Looking at Xun Yu who was full of expectation in front of him, Cao Cao was silent for a moment and then said: "It's possible that this is Wang Mang again."
"maybe!"
Xun Yu drank all the wine in the cup: "But even Wang Mang, what he did in the beginning was of great benefit to the Han emperor. Now the Han Dynasty may indeed need such a person to give strong medicine."
Seeing the excited look on Xun Yu's face, Cao Cao finally sighed softly, turned around and left.
He did not hear the information he wanted to hear from Xun Yu, which made him very disappointed.
