To put it more bluntly, it’s the Emperor’s Eagle Dog.
As long as the emperor gives orders, there is nothing that the Legalist eagles and dogs dare not do.
After just a brief thought, Zhang Tang responded, "Your Majesty, Wang Ni is so crazy and crazy, and he does such treacherous and unethical things, there must be someone behind him who is secretly supporting him!"
There is no support, but it is just a desperate attempt to jump over the wall.
Of course, as long as you know these things yourself.
"Um."
Li Yunze nodded, "Who do you think is the leader among those who support Wang Ni?"
Zhang Tang was secretly dumbfounded. The king's appetite is really huge, and this is what he came up with... This is the rhythm of a big fight.
As for asking who is the leader, it is not obvious that they are trying to scare the monkeys first.
He thought for a while and then responded, "Your Majesty, I think King Huainan is the most suspect. Wang Ni had previously issued an edict to King Huainan, ordering him to lead troops to Chang'an City... Bah, he is here to rebel!"
"oh?"
Hearing this name, Li Yunze raised his lips, turned around and told Wei Qing who was following him, "Send someone to ask if any of the kings of Guandong have raised troops to come to Chang'an?"
"Here."
"Zhang Qing, I'll leave this matter to you."
Upon hearing Li Yunze's instructions, Zhang Tang immediately saluted, "This is a matter within my official duties."
Although he was wanted by Wang Quan before, Tingwei's official position was naturally revoked.
But now that the king is back, he is naturally still a court lieutenant.
It is of course the duty of Ting Wei to track down the remnants of the rebellious party.
After arriving at Yangling, the next thing to do was to follow the procedures and pay homage to Liu Qi who was sent here.
This is also a step to swear one's legitimate status, indicating that one's peace is successful and one will inherit the throne from Liu Qi.
After the worship service was over, Li Yunze originally wanted to go to Baling again to pay homage to Empress Dowager Dou.
Empress Dowager Dou was the empress of Emperor Wen of Han Dynasty Liu Heng. After she died of illness, she naturally had to be buried with Emperor Wen of Han Dynasty.
It was only because it was getting late that I headed back to the city.
Back in Chang'an City, there was still a lot of follow-up work. The civil and military officials of the DPRK and the Central Military Commission and many nobles were closely following Li Yunze at this time, waiting for the final arrangements with a little anxiety.
Theoretically speaking, they also worshiped the false emperor.
What exactly is the identity? Li Yunze still has to decide.
Fortunately, Li Yunze didn't keep everyone waiting. Everyone happened to be there and started making arrangements directly.
"...Liang Wang Liu Wu..."
Although everyone knew that Liang Wang Liu Wu was used as a scapegoat to take the blame for treason and murdering the emperor, and for making the Queen Mother angry to death. Cheng Bushi and others also mobilized their troops on the charge of putting down Liu Wu's rebellion, but
After all, he was also involved in the rebellion.
Therefore, Li Yunze's arrangement was very simple. He would directly eliminate the country, and the entire Liang Kingdom would be returned to the imperial court and set up counties.
As for Liu Wu himself, he was convicted of treason and was removed from the family tree!
This is a typical example of not eating the meat, but instead making him smell bad. From then on, Liu Wu was no longer qualified to be a sacrifice, and could only become a lonely ghost.
"...Prime Minister Zhou Yafu..."
For the old Zhou family, which had a tradition of killing the emperor, Li Yunze's arrangement was to neither reward nor punish.
Naturally, I won't get any reward, so I can't give him a king with a different surname.
As for punishment, it is obvious that now is not the time.
If nothing else, Zhou Yafu will definitely not be able to continue to be prime minister.
He can become prime minister mainly because of the tradition of becoming a general and becoming a prime minister, as well as the reward for his merits.
In fact, compared to his mediocrity as prime minister, Zhou Yafu's ability is actually more reflected in military training.
Li Yunze has already made plans to change his position as prime minister, but of course now is not the time.
"...Tangyi Hou Chen Wu..."
Chen Wu relied on betraying Princess Guantao to survive. In the eyes of everyone, it was the behavior of a villain, and they were despised in their hearts.
Although the King of Zhongshan was generous and allowed them to preserve the inheritance of the title.
But Tangyi Marquis has been isolated, and no one will have any contact with their family. In the future, if there is even the slightest mistake, he will inevitably end up being expelled from the noble family, and no one will help him to speak.
It's just a matter of hanging on for a while.
"...Pingyang Marquis Cao Shou..."
Cao Shou was Wang Quan's son-in-law, so according to the law he was destined to die.
But he reacted quickly and joined the ranks of the counter-rebellion. The most important thing was that he died on the battlefield.
In this case, there cannot be any punishment, but there must be a reward.
Li Yunze called out "Wei Qing."
Wei Qing, who was standing aside, hurriedly stepped out of the queue to salute, "I'm here."
"You have captured Yu Shan, the Xiongnu Zuoxian King, and have made outstanding achievements. I will confer upon you the title of Marquis of Changping and grant you a settlement of 2,000 households in recognition of your merits."
Wei Qing was overjoyed and quickly saluted, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"This is what you deserve."
Everyone around was slightly puzzled. They were obviously talking about Pingyang Marquis Cao Shou, but why did they turn to Wei Qing?
Then, Li Yunze's next words explained their confusion: "Cao Shou's merits should be equal to Princess Pingyang's fault. The title of Marquis of Pingyang will be inherited by Cao Shou's son Cao Xiang. However, when Cao Xiang was young, Wei Qing married Princess Pingyang and took care of her."
Once you say this, everyone will understand.
The orphan and widower here in Cao Xiang is Wang Ni's biological daughter and the pseudo-emperor's biological sister.
Needless to say, I know that I will definitely be bullied in the future.
Now that Princess Pingyang is married to Wei Qing, a celebrity close to the king, no one will dare to cause trouble.
Marrying a widow was very common among the Han people, and the court even had special laws to arrange for widows to remarry.
The reason is simple: to increase the population.
Wei Qing was immediately stunned.
Did he really not expect that he would marry a princess?!
In Wei Qing's mind, the scene when he was a slave in the Pingyang Marquis Mansion suddenly came to mind. At that time, he didn't even dare to look at the princess's face.
But now, I actually have the opportunity to tinker...ahem.
"Um?"
Seeing Wei Qing in a daze, Li Yunze smiled and said, "But I don't want to? If I don't want to..."
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Yes, yes!"
Wei Qing saluted again, "I am willing to obey my orders and take care of the orphan of the Marquis."
"It's not just about taking care of Cao Xiang." Li Yunze told him, "We must also take good care of Cao Shou's widow."
"Here~~~"
It's a pity that Wei Qing was not present before Cao Shou's death. Otherwise, it would have been more perfect if he had said, "I will take care of your wife."
But no matter what, the title of Marquis of Pingyang has been preserved and can be passed down. Cao Shou's death is not in vain.
But then, there were more unlucky people.
The first person to be brought up was Li Guang, who was imprisoned.
"Li Guang, as a Weiyang palace lieutenant, you failed to resist the rebellion and the emperor suffered an accident." Li Yunze looked at the haggard Li Guang and said slowly, "Do you know your guilt?"
Li Guang, who was in tears, kowtowed repeatedly, "I am guilty and I should die!"
According to the laws of the Han Dynasty, Li Guang's serious dereliction of duty would not only kill him, but also take his whole family with him.
"Seize the official position and title, and send him to the border as a garrison soldier."
Hearing that Li Yunze had forgiven him, Mr. Li Guang burst into tears and saluted, "Thank you for your grace, thank you for your kindness~~~"
After that, more than twenty noble families and dozens of court officials were implicated in Wang Ni's crimes one after another, and were convicted of Wang Ni's remnants.
Basically, it is all handled by Tingwei Yamen in Zhangtang.
It's hard to say that these people really followed Wang Quan and others, but they failed to jump out at the critical moment anyway, but chose to stay on the sidelines and wait and see how the situation progressed. Naturally, they were unlucky.
This is not the end. In fact, when Li Yunze said that there were people in various parts of Guandong who responded to Wang Quan and other traitors, everyone knew that this king wanted to take this opportunity to cleanse Guandong.
Kings.
After the Rebellion of the Seven Kings, the imperial court reduced vassal status and eliminated several feudal states.
But the Han Dynasty had too many vassal states. Even after killing seven, there were still dozens of vassal states.
As for the territory of the feudal states, there are even more.
For the emperor, cutting down the feudal vassals was a natural political correctness and a must-do.
Now that I had such an excuse, of course I had to do it.
Zhou Yafu came out and led the crowd to express support for Li Yunze, saying that the kings of Guandong must have connections with their kings and rebels, and they must be dealt with.
After arranging these things, the next step is the reward that everyone is concerned about.
In this regard, Li Yunze will not be stingy.
First of all, they were successful in the battle of sending troops to defeat the military minister Shanyu Wangting. In addition to Wei Qing who was directly granted the title of Chehou, there were also several rural marquises and Tinghou.
Naturally, there will be no shortage of money and silk rewards.
By the way, Gongsun Ao, who beheaded Cheng Bushi, was also granted the title of Marquis by virtue of this title. Although he was just a Tinghou with hundreds of households in the town, he was still a marquis.
Then there was the vacant position in Chaozhong, and Li Yunze also arranged for all the staff around him to move in.
First, he had already planned to expand his personal guard, recruited Liang Jiazi, expanded the force, and renamed it the Yulin Army. Wei Qinglai would lead it and become the Imperial Guard.
As for the original southern army, they were all transferred out of the city and mixed with the main force of the northern army to reorganize into a new field army of the Han Empire.
The title of the North and South Armies was ended.
This main army is temporarily commanded by Wei Qihou Dou Ying.
And Dou Ying also became a Taiwei in charge of military affairs, with a salary of ten thousand stones, and was awarded a gold seal and purple ribbon.
The prime minister is still Zhou Yafu for the time being, but smart people know that he will not be prime minister for long.
As Li Yunze's mastermind, his master Fu Yan quickly rose to the top and became one of the three princes, the imperial censor, with a salary of two thousand dan and a silver seal and green ribbon.
Salary is not important. What is important is that the so-called imperial censor is actually the deputy prime minister, that is, the successor of the prime minister.
Under the premise that Zhou Yafu could not be the prime minister for long, Master Fuyan's sudden rise naturally attracted everyone's attention.
As for Gongsun Hong and others, their eyes turned red with envy.
Li Yunze knew that Master Fu Yan was really capable, much better than Dongfang Shuo.
Taichang, one of the nine ministers, was left to Taifu Shi Fen, who was busy coming from Lunu.
Shi Fen's ability...basically has no ability. He relies entirely on his qualifications and loyalty, so let's arrange a sinecure that requires the most seniority.
Zhang Ou, who also came from Zhongshan Kingdom, had a Shaofu order waiting for him, that is, he was the personal butler of the Emperor of Han Dynasty.
The servant was Zhou Qiu, the son of Zhou Ren. On the surface, he was in charge of carriages and livestock, but in fact he was the emperor's coachman.
The so-called Daxing Ling is Ji'an, and the so-called Daxing Ling is Da Honglu. From now on, Honglu Temple will be in charge of diplomacy.
The purpose of assigning Ji An was to see if this man who advocated peace with the Huns in history would still stick to his point of view in the current situation.
If that were the case, Li Yunze would arrange for him to go to the Great Wall as a border guard sergeant and never come back again in his life.
Zongzheng is usually appointed by the clan, and Li Yunze doesn't have a good candidate right now, so let's not mention it for now.
Da Si Nong was in charge of the world's money, food and taxes, and this aspect was still left to Yan Yi, who was known for his integrity.
Zhidu became a guard and rebuilt the palace guard army.
Gongsun Hong was Guang Luxun and served as secretary.
In addition, everyone has arranged rewards, and it can be said that everyone is very happy.
After making these arrangements, everyone still did not disperse, but hurriedly began to promote the enthronement matters.
After all, if the king does not ascend the throne, everything will still be unfair and unjust!
