In a mansion in Tailin City, Ming Gaochi, Zhang Cunxian and others gathered together again.
This time, even Bai Yuxiao was present.
As a member of the royal family, Bai Yuxiao was respected by everyone, but he himself felt a little anxious.
In fact, his arrangements for Bai Yutian did not fluctuate much. His own abilities were average and he relied entirely on the merits of his ancestors.
And he has no ambitions, he just hopes to retain his position.
Therefore, he came together with this group of people.
"My lords, I feel that we do not necessarily have to go against His Majesty. Your Majesty's move is nothing more than to consolidate the power of the central government. Besides, Your Majesty has already forgiven several people for their capital crimes. At most, we will suffer a little physical pain. If we continue, I'm afraid that
I want to annoy His Majesty."
Liu Zhen spoke slowly, breaking the silence.
He himself was a little afraid of Bai Yutian, and this time Sun Li was beheaded, which made him feel a sense of crisis.
"Mr. Liu, you really stand up and talk without pain. Can you not understand His Majesty's character? Will he easily get around us this time? And is a large part of our corruption for so many years because of you?" Zhang Cunxian was angry and refused to accept it.
said.
Their interests are related. Now that Liu Zhen has said these words, he will be fine, but Zhang Cunxian and others still don't know what the end will be.
Bai Yutian has now become a qualified emperor. He has a deep palace and is moody. They are completely unable to guess what Bai Yutian is thinking.
"Who asked you to go so far? At least I have told you a long time ago that you should listen to the court and stop being unscrupulous based on the family's prestige."
Zhang Cunxian was still a junior to Liu Zhen, and being reprimanded by Zhang Cunxian made Liu Zhen lose face.
Moreover, after Liu Zhen was beaten by Bai Yutian, his head seemed to have opened up, and he began to be cautious in doing things and not take the initiative to go against Bai Yutian.
He also warned people like Zhang Cunxian not to go too far.
However, Zhang Cunxian and others were already blinded by money and did not listen to Liu Zhen's advice at all.
"Anyway, if we continue to embezzle, you won't be the ones to take the lead. Without us, you would have been taken advantage of by His Majesty. The worst is, we will defeat you all."
Cao Xuanya was the most corrupt among them. When he heard this, he quickly stood up and smoothed things over: "Okay, okay, everyone, stop arguing. Now we should discuss how to solve the matter."
"Boom!" There was a crisp sound.
Ming Gaochi slammed the teacup on the table.
No matter how everyone quarrels, Ming Gaochi is always the backbone of everyone, and everyone takes him as the center.
Seeing Ming Gaochi getting angry, several people quickly shut up and stopped arguing.
"When the late emperor passed away, we were asked to assist the new emperor. However, since Yuncheng's rise, we have been excluded from His Majesty's circle of confidants and basically have no real power."
"If this continues, when we grow old, the environment for our descendants may become even more dangerous."
"So, we can't let His Majesty remove the prefect of Zhoucheng so easily."
Ming Gaochi hit the nail on the head and pointed out the problem.
Yuncheng, Yan Chong, Zhu Ke and others were all newly promoted talents. After all the ministers of Gu Taizhong's line were arrested, these people quickly filled the vacancies.
This also resulted in Min Gaochi and others being completely excluded from the power of the court, and their right to speak was reduced.
When the late emperor was still there, they were used in important positions and held important positions with great power.
Now that they have reached this stage, they are not willing to give up.
Liu Zhen sighed. He couldn't figure out why he had to fight with Bai Yutian.
Although Bai Yutian didn't use them seriously, he didn't deliberately seek trouble and punish them. If they obeyed Bai Yutian, they might not end up well.
Now that production and life have resumed in various places, people will soon find that without these governors, their lives will actually get better.
By then, people's calls for Bai Yutian will become even louder, and even they will be completely unable to stop him.
"Now we can only delay until the rebels start a war!"
"The two Jiangbei states are the barrier to defend against the rebels in the south. Mingzhou can block the rebels in the east. Several of them have been deployed there for many years, and their families have far-reaching influence."
"As long as we use some tricks to defeat the Zhou army, Your Majesty will have to bow to us."
Ming Gaochi was very resourceful and quickly figured out how to deal with the situation.
It's now February, and it's warm and cold at first. I'm afraid it won't be long before the rebels on both sides will send troops to attack the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Although the three northern kingdoms and the Nanyuan Kingdom are likely to be restrained by the Shannu Kingdom, they are unable to harass the Great Zhou Kingdom.
But even the power of the Dashun and Dachuan Kingdoms cannot be underestimated. If someone secretly obstructs them, I am afraid that Dazhou will not be able to resist them at all.
Of course, this is a decision with huge risks.
If the two major rebel armies are unstoppable and take Tailin directly, it will be a devastating blow to them.
Therefore, they wanted the Great Zhou Army to be defeated, but they could not allow the Great Zhou Army to be defeated.
Finally, several people talked and decided on the plan.
Ming Gaochi has many contacts with the Zhang family and the Zheng family in Jiangbei Province, so he will be responsible for all the news notifications this time.
Bai Yuxiao did not express his position during the whole process and listened quietly to the discussion of several people. Only during the final vote, he stood up to support Min Gaochi, which was very helpful to Min Gaochi.
Min Gaochi stroked his long beard. Sometimes he felt that if Bai Yuxiao became the emperor, he would definitely be under his control.
The reason why Gu Taizhong was able to control the court was because he supported Bai Yutian to ascend the throne and then consolidated his power. In addition, the capital was moved to the Gu family's headquarters, which made Gu Taizhong even more rampant.
The next few days were quite peaceful. The things that went to court every day were related to disasters and tax collection in various places. Bai Yutian also made arrangements based on the actual situation, making sure to make the people's lives more stable.
At the same time, due to the two major rebels, Bai Yutian conducted another emergency recruitment to expand the Zhou army.
What is unexpected is that many people in the martial arts academy are actually willing to join the Great Zhou army and serve for the Great Zhou.
Among them, Shen Yusheng's role is naturally indispensable.
Most of these people have considerable strength, and their addition has increased the combat power of the Zhou army several times.
Of course, they also need close training. Otherwise, if they don't obey orders after going to the battlefield, the consequences will be very serious, and they may not even be able to exert one or two percent of the strength of the army.
On this day, Bai Yutian summoned Deng Yongle, Kou Zaixiong, Xiao Li and others to the palace.
These people guarded various places, each leading the Zhou army to defend against foreign enemies. Now that they were recalled to the palace, they naturally had to redeploy.
