Yang Xiang's rebellion involved almost all departments of the six ministries, nine ministers, five temples, two prisons, two courtyards and one government.
More than two hundred officials of seventh grade and above were captured in the sky prison.
The entire Dayu court was in danger for a while, and the central offices almost came to a standstill.
"Your Majesty."
Zhengyong four years, April 20th.
Emperor Zhengyong, who had suspended his dynasty for nearly two months, finally held a major dynasty.
The court, which was originally noisy, was completely silent today.
The officials were cautious and kept secretly looking at Emperor Zhengyong on the dragon throne and the person standing at the front of the group of ministers.
Xu Mujun!
With the fall of Prime Minister Yang, the most powerful person in the entire Yu Dynasty now is undoubtedly Xu Mujun!
At this time, Zheng Yi also slowly stepped onto the dragon throne. Over the past month or so, he finally clarified his identity and the current environment.
emperor.
He became the emperor of the Yu Dynasty!
After Li Daitao died, the first thing he did was to order the execution of all Shadow Guards!
As a dead soldier of Emperor Zhengyong, the loyalty of the Shadow Guards to Emperor Zhengyong can be imagined.
But these shadow guards must not stay.
Who knows if there is anyone inside who knows his identity?
Including Xiao Chengzi, a total of thirty-six dead soldiers of the Shadow Guard either died in battle or were executed by Zheng Yi's order.
In addition to the shadow guards, there are also eunuchs, maids, etc. who usually take care of Emperor Zhengyong's life.
Either he was exiled, or he was deprived of all his status through a few trivial matters and sent to work in a remote palace of the imperial palace.
Several others were directly ordered to be executed.
I have no choice but to protect my identity.
Everyone who is familiar with Emperor Zhengyong will die!
Of course, you don’t have to deal with the concubines in the harem.
After all, he was not familiar with Emperor Zhengyong, but he was the one who was familiar with him, Zheng Yi.
As for the Queen Mother...
Zheng Yi really had no choice but to make up his mind to visit Yongshou Palace less often in the future.
"If there is something to do, we will start to act, but if there is nothing to do, we will retreat!"
A eunuch came out and said in a loud voice.
Liu Chengen.
An old eunuch who had been suppressed by Wang Zhongyi for more than ten years was valued by Zheng Yi and gave him the position of leader eunuch.
Thanks to the kindness of acquaintance, Liu Chengen immediately showed great loyalty to Zheng Yi.
Under his management, the entire palace quickly returned to calm.
An official stood up and said in a deep voice:
"Your Majesty, I have a written statement."
Zheng Yi took a look and nodded slightly.
Minister of the Ministry of Industry, Jia Yongshao.
"Your Majesty, Yang Ni conspired a rebellion a month ago and destroyed a total of twelve palaces in the palace, especially the Jiaotai Palace."
"I have calculated that this reconstruction will cost 1.2 million taels of silver."
Zheng Yi said: "Why spend so much money?"
"Back to Your Majesty, Jiaotai Hall is His Majesty's residence. There are twenty-two thousand-year-old oak trees in it as beams."
"There is no such tree in the Central Plains. It must be transported from Yunzhou or Nanyue County, so the cost is huge."
"I see, it's accurate." "Your Majesty..."
Jia Yongshao hesitated and said: "Hubu..."
Zheng Yi also twitched the corner of his mouth. Among the six departments, the departments most seriously infiltrated by Yang Xiang were undoubtedly the Department of Household Affairs and the Department of Personnel.
Now more than 80% of the officials in the entire household department are locked up in Tianlao, leaving only a dozen unlucky guys who are looking after the warehouse and the archives.
Now asking them to come up with money is a bit overwhelming.
Zheng Yi looked at Xu Mujun, and other officials, big and small, also looked over subconsciously.
Xu Mujun set out and said: "Your Majesty, I have my own instructions."
"My dear, please tell me."
"Back to Your Majesty, Yang Ni has conspired to rebel. The proceeds from ransacking the house totaled more than 85.6 million taels of silver and more than 16 million taels of gold."
"There are a total of 635 properties, about 12,000 hectares."
"There are about three hundred shops, manors, banks, etc. under his name."
"The statistics of fields, manors, and gardens in the suburbs of Beijing have not yet been completed, but preliminary statistics indicate that there are more than 50,000 hectares of fields alone..."
"There are countless antiques, calligraphy, paintings, pearls and gems. Preliminary statistics indicate that there are about 200 million taels of silver..."
Xu Mujun's voice was not loud, but what he said frightened many ministers present.
This is just a preliminary inspection, and there are already about one billion taels of silver.
You know, the Yu Dynasty's annual finances were only about 40 million silver.
Yang Xuansu's downfall actually contributed more than ten years of financial revenue to the Yu Dynasty!
Listening to Xu Mujun's narration, Zheng Yi was secretly amazed.
This Yang Xiang is so terrifying.
This is just something that was discovered in Beijing!
In other counties and counties, the property, land and property belonging to Prime Minister Yang have not yet been counted, and there must be more.
Xu Mujun continued: "Your Majesty, Yang Ni has confiscated a huge amount of property. I ask your Majesty to issue an order to reduce or reduce taxes in Binzhou, Qingzhou and other places, and inform the world so that the rebellious people will know about it, so as to calm the hearts of the people and make the rebellious people have no one they can use."
"Given time, the chaos in Qingzhou will be calmed down."
"Accurate performance."
Zheng Yi said concisely and comprehensively: "In addition to Binzhou and Qingzhou, taxes in Youzhou, Jizhou, and Haizhou will also be reduced or reduced... for three years!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty is kind and blessed to all people!"
"Your Majesty is kind and blessed to all people!"
Many officials all knelt down and shouted long live the mountain.
Only Xu Mujun lowered his head slightly to show respect.
Zheng Yi said again: "Gentlemen, now that Yang Ni has been eliminated, the imperial court is full of waste and waiting to be revitalized. The Ministry of Husbandry, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Personnel, and Dali Temple are in urgent need of officials."
"You can report it privately and recommend officials to...Xu Qing. Xu Qing will review it and then submit it to me for approval. How about that?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the expressions of the officials below all changed.
The power to serve as an official is given to Xu Mujun?
This...
At that moment, someone said respectfully: "Your Majesty! This must never be done..."
"General Xu is just the commander-in-chief of the Longxiang Army, how can he do that... official affairs?"
Zheng Yi took a look and found out that it was Lu Xiangqing, the censor of the left capital of the Inspectorate.
Lu Xiangqing, a member of the Fan Yang Lu family, is also a younger brother of the Queen Mother, and the spokesperson of the Lu family in the court.
Xu Mujun also said: "Your Majesty, I am a foreign minister. I don't know much about the affairs of the court. I am afraid that I may miss your Majesty's important affairs. Please ask your Majesty to choose someone else."
"Alas~ Xu Qing has worked so hard and accomplished so much, so why... be like this."
Zheng Yi said again: "The order is conveyed. Xu Mu's army has worked hard and made great achievements. He has made great contributions in annihilating Yang Ni and has saved Yang Ni. He has been specially promoted to the governor of the Fifth Army Governor's Office, a general, and also serves as the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs!"
"Order, command all the armies in the four states of Qing, Hebei, Hai, and Bin to suppress the rebellious people and resist the five countries!"
"I... accept the order and thank you!"
The officials present were shocked. This official position was enough to become the top military officer in the Yu Dynasty.
In other words, among the hundreds of thousands of troops in the entire Dayu Dynasty, except for Emperor Zhengyong, Xu Mujun was the supreme commander.
"With this official position, I can participate in the appointment and dismissal of officials. Don't let me down."
"This..."
After Xu Mujun hesitated for a moment, he said: "Your Majesty, I obey the decree and thank you."
"Also..."
Zheng Yi continued: "How to deal with Yang Ni and the others?"
"My lords, can you come up with a suitable solution?"
