Two cabinet ministers appeared outside Chengqian'an Gate at the same time.
After receiving the notice from the eunuch, the two of them walked towards the palace gate together.
The two of them looked grave because they got the news late at night and learned about what happened outside Xianfu Gate.
Concubine Duan was cruel and ruthless, and they both knew her best.
Unfortunately, the two of them also had "crossings" with Concubine Duan. King Yong was generous and forgave them, but there was no guarantee that Concubine Duan would not cause trouble for them.
It was related to the lives of the whole family. How could the two of them not pay attention to it, so they met together at this moment.
Soon, the two of them arrived outside the main hall and were taken in by the eunuch on duty outside the door.
"Kowtow to Your Highness!"
In the past, when they met Zhao Weilong, they did not need to kneel down in most cases. The little emperor would excuse them because of their age.
But in front of Zhao Yanxun, these two people did not dare to ask "big" questions at all, so they had no choice but to pay homage honestly.
"Get up!" Zhao Yanxun said casually.
"Two pavilion elders, why are you here?"
"Your Highness..."
Wang Tinghe's voice sounded heavy, and he knelt on the floor again, presenting a memorial with both hands.
Xie Xiaofang on the side also did the same thing, but Zhao Yanxun was stunned.
"I am guilty!"
The eunuch serving in the palace carefully took the memorial and placed it in front of Zhao Yanxun.
Holding the cover of one of the memorials, Zhao Yanxun asked: "What is your crime?"
"I am confused. I was deceived by rumors and misunderstood His Highness, so I strongly opposed Your Highness being crown prince!"
"And the former Queen Li and the pseudo-emperor were instigated to let Concubine Duan leave the palace and suffer..."
"Because of my ignorance, I have put Your Highness in danger. I deserve death!"
While listening to Wang Tinghe's statement, Zhao Yanxun was also reading the memorial, which actually explained it in more detail.
Reading the content not only made Zhao Yanxun suspicious, did these two come to plead guilty? Or did they shirk responsibility?
"Two dear friends, I have said before that if you abandon the dark side and turn to the bright side, you will forget the past and your so-called sins will be wiped out!"
These two old men kept the cabinet in good order. To be honest, Zhao Yanxun was really reluctant to kill them, so he naturally wanted to forgive these two people at this moment.
"Your Highness, I would like to express my gratitude to you for your forgiveness..."
"However, the two ministers know that the queen is angry, so they are willing to accept the punishment to calm the anger in the queen's heart!"
Xie Xiaofang's words pointed out the crux of the problem and made Zhao Yanxun understand the concerns of the two of them.
At this time, Zhao Yanxun did not mince words and said bluntly: "Now that you two are running the state affairs, you can be regarded as my king's arms!"
"My mother-in-law has great foresight. How can she turn her anger on you when she is seeking stability?"
"You two cabinet ministers don't have to worry too much. Go back and handle government affairs with peace of mind. The most important thing is to ensure the political operation of the government!"
Although they were meant to comfort him, Zhao Yanxun's words also meant to knock him down.
To protect yourself and your family, you must first do your job honestly and well.
Next, this matter will be cleared up.
It happened that these two cabinet ministers came over, and Zhao Yanxun explained to them the strategies for the recent administration.
To put it simply, the priority is still to focus on stability, and reorganizing the army and harvesting are the most important things at the moment.
After some discussion, it was almost noon.
"Your Majesty, please leave!"
After understanding Zhao Yanxun's intention, the two men exited the hall and happened to meet Hou Zhao's four military attachés.
A military attache entering the palace was something that had not happened for many years. This scene chilled the hearts of these two people.
This means that the situation of civil and military dominance has reappeared, and the era when the civil servant group was dominated by one family is gone.
They were two types of people and had no communication with each other. Wang Xie and Wang left in a hurry.
"Your Majesty declares his presence to you!"
"yes!"
The four of them entered the main hall together and were led to a side hall on the west side.
Standing outside the threshold, the four of them knelt down together, their expressions full of caution.
The majestic general also had a fearful attitude in front of Zhao Yanxun, which was not contradictory.
After signaling the four people to stand up, Zhao Yanxun said: "I intend to grant all of your subordinates the power of divine martial arts!"
This sentence alone shocked these four people.
All are given the power of divine martial arts. This is a treatment that only those in the Guards Department have, and they have never expected it.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Sitting back on the chair, looking at the four people in front of him, Zhao Yanxun said in a deep voice: "I have given you such benefits, so naturally I have to entrust you with important tasks!"
The four people immediately responded: "Please give me your instructions!"
If you have an errand, you have merit. Now that the imperial court has been captured and there are fewer and fewer military merits to be achieved, how can they not cherish it.
After Zhao Yanxun ascends the throne, he will definitely be rewarded based on his merits. By then, the prince and uncle will be far behind at every level.
Zhao Yanxun was very satisfied when he saw that this man had a high fighting spirit and was completely free from the ease and slackness after a great victory.
"You have four guard posts, Wu Jianqing, Chen Yuhe's are cavalry, Ding Hong and Zheng Fan are infantry, there are more than 20,000 people in total..."
"The king plans that after the autumn harvest in August, you will lead the army to attack Buchen!"
There are a total of seven counties in the southwest and south. He has sent imperial envoys in the name of the imperial court and called on them to obey the imperial court's control.
That's right, he obeyed the court's control unconditionally.
If these people are wise and take this opportunity to return to the imperial court, the matter can be resolved peacefully.
If they want to negotiate terms or seek independence, Zhao Yanxun will never be soft on them.
At present, these people are reluctant to submit to the imperial court as normal. Will they not be more likely to cause chaos during his various reforms in the future?
Therefore, in Zhao Yanxun's opinion, coercion is more reliable than enfu, so he hopes to defeat the south.
It would take at least half a month for him to send imperial envoys to various places to explain his attitude, and then for them to respond to the court. The autumn harvest was about to end at that time.
"Therefore, those who should be sent to the Guards Department must be sent as soon as possible without any hidden intentions!"
"Send these people away. You must complete the selection of soldiers as soon as possible. Only after the soldiers are confirmed will the king give them to you!"
"Do you understand?"
"I understand!"
After the matter was settled, Zhao Yanxun walked up to a few people, his expression becoming warm.
"Only 20,000 of you are allowed to quell the rebellion. Will you have any difficulties?"
After hearing this, Chen Yuhe immediately said: "Your Majesty, even if I am only allowed to lead the troops to suppress the rebellion, I will not be afraid at all!"
Of course, Chen Yuhe's courage is commendable. Even if he has 5,000 first-level soldiers, it would be a big task to suppress the rebellion alone.
After two large-scale battles, Zhao Yanxun had a clearer understanding of the combat effectiveness of an army composed of first- and second-level soldiers.
An army composed of first-level soldiers can defeat an army of three times its own elite infantry, and a second-level army can defeat an army five times its own size.
This conclusion is drawn when the equipment of both sides is similar. If the enemy's equipment is better, three times or five times may not be true.
In fact, this is already a terrifying combat power.
These 20,000 people were as good as 60,000 elite infantrymen, so Zhao Yanxun was naturally very relieved.
After the autumn harvest, the civilian workers were free and able to ensure logistical supplies, so the battle to counter the rebellion was actually very simple.
Of course, this also requires that the autumn harvest must be completed smoothly, otherwise the food supply will not be available, but it will cause chaos in several counties in the Central Plains.
"Since you are so ambitious, then... you will be the general in this battle to judge the rebellion!"
This was a sudden surprise. Chen Yuhe never expected that this benefit would fall on him.
At this time, distance and closeness are reflected.
Chen Yuhe was one of the first batch of veterans. He was born in a hundred families of royal guards and was an absolute direct subordinate of Zhao Yanxun.
In the system of Prince Yong's Mansion, only those in the Guards Department are more senior than him.
"I accept the order and will definitely live up to the prince's trust!" Chen Yuhe knelt on the ground and replied firmly.
