After crossing the Han River, Liu Xian's accompanying guards went to the post house to take a rest.
After entering Xiangyang City, Zheng Tu led his people to wait for Xu Huai's arrival at the North City Gate. He also arranged for people to take dozens of guards around Xu Huai directly to Zhufengtang's courtyard in Xiangyang to settle down. Xu Huai only
Liu Wangju, Shi Hu and others went with him to the Generalissimo's Mansion of the World Army and Horses, which had been vacated by the original economic and strategic pacification envoy Si Yamen, to meet with King Jing.
Duke Wu Wei Zhao Yi did not have a residence in Xiangyang yet, but he came to Xiangyang alone with Widow Zhao and went to Qingzhou to see King Lu. The entourage around him was all assigned to him by King Jingba; these people also had to go to the Marshal's Mansion first.
Follow the subsequent arrangements.
Xu Huai, Liu Xian, and Zhao Yi followed Xu Wei and Qian Shangduan to the Marshal's Mansion. Zhou He, Gao Chunnian, Hu Kai, Gu Fan, Zhu Hang, Wang Fan, Wen Hengyue, Wu Wenche and other generals gathered in the Yamen Hall.
among.
Seeing Xu Huai and others coming over, Qiao Jien ran to the back house to report the matter in person as the official history of the palace. However, he quickly returned to the Yamen Hall and only said that King Jing was too sad and had no intention of meeting Liu Xian, Xu Huai and Zhao Yisan.
I asked Qiao Jien, Zhou He and others to recruit them on my behalf.
This is also expected.
Zhou He, Gao Chunnian, Gu Fan, Hu Kai and others also believed that the succession should be decided immediately and could not be delayed any longer. Wuwei Gong Zhao Yi came back with King Lu to persuade him to enter the palace. At that time, everyone was sitting in the government hall.
It is to discuss matters of persuasion.
Zhou He, as the Chief of the Marshal's Office, and Hu Kai, as the Sima of the Marshal's Office, were the heads of the civil and military officials. Naturally, they, Gu Fan, Gao Chunnian and others took the lead in persuading people to join.
What they meant was that the generals under the direct jurisdiction of the Marshal's Mansion and the generals who came to Xiangyang City in person should work together to persuade them to advance, and they would no longer go to the imperial court alone.
Xu Huai naturally had no other objections to this, and it saved him some trouble.
Zhou He, Hu Kai and others prepared a form of persuasion at noon, and first summoned the generals directly under the Marshal's Mansion, Xu Huai, Liu Xian and others to accompany him to the back house to request an audience with King Jing.
King Jing refused to see everyone, so everyone went directly to the alleyway of the back house to persuade him to come in. They knelt down and asked King Jing to put the country first and ascend the throne as early as possible to continue the imperial line and lead the great cause of imperial concubines, so as to welcome Emperor Xuan and the royal family to return to the Central Plains.
.
King Jing never showed up, but sent people out to ask everyone to go back to the front office to handle military and political matters, and not to stay outside the inner house unnecessarily.
Everyone knelt in front of the gate of the back house for an hour before reluctantly returning to the front office.
In the afternoon, Zheng Huaizhong's eldest son Zheng Cong and Zhao Fan came to Xiangyang. At this time, a large number of Japanese soldiers were approaching Puzhou. Zheng Huaizhong was unable to leave Luoyang lightly. He took his son Zheng Cong and Zhao Fan, who served as the record office of the Heluo expedition, to join the army.
.
Faced with King Jing's silence, everyone's response was to summon more generals to persuade him to advance tomorrow.
Everyone was determined this time, and in the end they would drag King Jing to the throne no matter how long it took.
Xu Huaize, Zhu Hang, Wang Fan and others first went to the residence of Duke Zhao Yi of Wuwei for a gathering.
Zhao Yi escaped from Chushan and rushed to Xiangyang. He stayed there in a hurry for two days. After having a deeper understanding of the current situation, he hurriedly left for Qingzhou to lobby Lu Wang Zhao Guan and others.
The Duke of Wuwei, Zhao Yi, did not buy any mansion in Xiangyang at that time, and even entrusted the widow Zhao to the care of his sister Ronngle County. However, within more than a month after he went to Qingzhou, Qiao Jien came forward as the official historian of the inner government to find a place in Xiangyang City.
House, and arrange the mansion for Zhao Yi.
Xiangyang was originally the location of the Jingnan South Road Road Administration, but the inner city was small and the outer city was not controlled at first, resulting in a large influx of refugees. Now it is overcrowded, and it is difficult to free up a five-story house.
, the Lord of Rongle County also selected a dozen servants and maids from around him to take care of the mansion.
Compared with the previous Longshou County Prince's Mansion, Wuwei Duke's Mansion, and Zhu Mansion, they can be said to be extremely shabby, but there is nothing to be picky about at this point.
When they learned that Duke Zhao Yi of Wuwei had returned, the lord of Rongle County and Zhu Han's eldest daughter Zhu Duojin rushed over to get together.
In this disaster, with so many clan members, princes and ministers in Bianliang City, Zhu Mansion is considered the luckiest.
Not only Zhu Hang, Zhu Zhi, and Zhu Tong had already been transferred out of Bianliang to take up posts, Mrs. Zhu had taken refuge in Chushan early, Zhu Duojin, the head of Rongle County, escaped smoothly, and even the servants and stewards of the Zhu Mansion were followed south by hundreds of people.
But the Zhu family still has many relatives and friends trapped in Bianliang.
Although the list of clan members, princes, princes, and ministers who were escorted north by Emperor Xuan of Tian is currently unknown, whether they have been escorted north or are still imprisoned in Bianliang at this time, the situation is not optimistic.
And those who surrendered and supported Li Ji as the false emperor could only sever ties and draw clear lines from now on.
Zhu Duojin, who was once arrogant and rude, not only her husband and his family were trapped in Bianliang, but even her youngest son, who was only a few months old, could not be brought out of Bianliang in a hurry. Now she is not sure what the situation is.
Compared with when Xu Huai first met in Bianliang, Zhu Duojin was no longer as happy as before, and there were tears on his haggard face. It must have been the news in the past two days that Emperor Tianxuan and more than 3,000 people were escorted north by the Red Husbands.
I cried a lot after the news.
The Lord of Rongle County, Zhu Duojin, came to greet him and then left. The only people in Xiangyang City who can be regarded as blood relatives of the clan are Duke Wuwei and the Lord of Rongle County. Everything in the internal affairs is kept simple. There are not many servants and maids.
Everything has to be handled by the head of Rongle County, Zhu Duojin assists Qiao Jien.
Xu Huai and the others sat down in the fairly spacious living room to discuss matters.
The matter of supporting the establishment cannot be delayed, and the court must be formally established immediately after King Jing ascends the throne.
Before Xu Huai, Liu Xian and others came over, Zhou He, Gao Chunnian, Hu Kai, Gu Fan and others gathered everyone to discuss these matters in detail. However, it was just not convenient for everyone to discuss it openly in the atmosphere of Qianya just now.
At this time, when they arrived at Zhao Yi's mansion, Zhu Hang and Wang Fan told Xu Huai in detail, and Zhao Yi knew about it. When Liu Xian went to the post house, someone would go over and explain it to him in detail.
The overall framework follows the policies proposed by Pu Ban, with only slight adjustments to the details.
The new dynasty will not establish a higher-status minister (left minister). Zhou He will serve as the right minister as his subordinate minister; Gao Chunnian, Gu Fan, and Xu Wei will assist the government by participating in political affairs.
There is no Shangshu Province in the center for the time being. The Zhongshu Menxia were merged with the Zhongshu Menxia Province to take charge of specific central government affairs. Zhu Hang, Qian Zerui and others served in the Zhongshu Menxia Province as casual knights, regular attendants, admonishers, and admonishers.
.
Before the fall of Bianliang, the three divisions were in charge of finance and expenditure, and the Ministry of Household Affairs did not have much authority. At the same time, the main function of the Ministry of Personnel was replaced by the Court of Judges.
Now everything in Xiangyang must be simplified, and power should be centralized as much as possible in the center. Zhou He and others advocated temporarily not setting up three ministers and judges, so that many responsibilities should be returned to the household department under the jurisdiction of Zhongshumen.
, Ministry of Personnel.
The two most important central departments of officialdom and household affairs will also be headed by Zhou He, Gao Chunnian, and Gu Fan, who will also head the Minister of War.
The Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Punishment, the Minister of Rites, and the Yushitai were filled by senior officials such as Jin Zhuangcheng who were transferred from various supervisory departments.
Hu Kai was in charge of the Privy Council as the governor, and Wang Fan, Zhu Yougui and others assumed the orders of the Privy Council and assisted Hu Kai in handling military and political affairs.
The three yamen that were previously the commanding authority of the Forbidden Army were no longer established, and the Duxingying Division was directly changed to the Royal Camping Envoy.
Division, in charge of all armies.
In addition to the Left and Right Xuanwu Army, the Left and Right Xiaosheng Army, the Tianxiong Army, the Xuanwei Army and the Left and Right Shenwu Army that Zheng Huaizhong commanded and expanded in Heluo, Gao Junyang expanded the Left and Right Longwu Army in Shaanxi, and Gu Jiqian completed the expansion in Yanzhou
The Tiger Guards, either directly or indirectly, will be brought under the jurisdiction of the Imperial Envoy Department.
Zhou He served as a minister and served as the envoy of the imperial camp, Hu Kai served as the deputy envoy of the imperial camp as a minister of the Privy Council, and Wen Hengyue served as the chief of the camp to handle military affairs.
Qiao Jien is in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Xiangyang Prefecture is an important place in the capital, and Chen Tai, the former Jingxi South Road transfer envoy, was appointed as the prefect.
In addition, in order to win over the local area, the envoys of various routes and strategies were given the title of Minister of the Ministry of War, and the transport envoys were given the title of Minister of the Ministry of Households.
Zhao Guan, king of Lu, was enthroned as the emperor's younger brother and king of Huai. The palace was located in Shouchun, and he also took charge of the establishment of envoys in Huainan. He also took charge of the military and political affairs of the two routes in Huainan.
, Yang Maoyan was appointed to know Shouchun Mansion, and Yan Shiyong was appointed as the military supervisor...
In order to boost the morale of resisting the captors, Zhou He and others also advocated the title of knighthood for the ministers who had followed King Jing south and made a preliminary decision on the list: Zhao Yi could be crowned as a county king, with the same ceremony as the right minister; the head of Ronngle County could be crowned as a county
Zhu, Zhou He, Hu Kai, Zheng Huaizhong, Gao Junyang and others were canonized as princes, Gao Chunnian, Gu Fan, Gu Jiqian and others were canonized as princes, Wang Fan, Zhu Hang, Qian Shangduan, Xu Huai, Zhang Xin, Deng
Gui, Yang Lin, Liu Yan, Chen Tai, Chen Yougui and others were all granted the title of marquis...
Xu Huai didn't care much about whether he would be granted a title or not. He still hoped that after King Jing officially ascended the throne, everything would get on track faster and earlier.
When it was getting dark, Zhou He sent people to find Zhao Yi, hoping that he would go to the inner house to comfort King Jing as a blood relative of the clan; Xu Huaize, Wang Ju, Zheng Tu, and Shi Po first went to Zhufengtang's courtyard in Xiangyang.
Settlement.
Zhufengtang mainly sells ironware, mules and horses, as well as tung oil and tea produced in Tongbai Mountain, and casts military supplies for the camp.
In addition to being located in the noisy East City, where three religions and nine streams gather, Puyuan also has a mule and horse pen covering an area of several acres, where hundreds of mules and horses are kept for sale, and the fishy smell is indescribable.
Of course, Xu Huai had experienced many difficult environments, and living in the yard next to the mule and horse pen, Xu Huai did not feel the slightest inconvenience.
After a simple dinner, Xu Huai had nothing else to do, and it was not convenient to go around or visit at this juncture. He just sat in the yard and made tea and drank while listening to Zheng Tu talk about some of the developments in Xiangyang City, and the more detailed
Analyze the composition of the new dynasty's center.
It seems that Xu Wei, Wen Hengyue, Qian Zerui, Wang Fan, Zhu Hang and others all occupied relatively important positions in the new dynasty. Hu Kai also served as the Privy Councilor and presided over military and political affairs.
However, when setting up the Generalissimo's Office of the Army of the World, Zhou He, Gao Chunnian, Gu Fan and others thought that the army and people in Taiyuan were too weak and needed to recuperate, so they excluded all the civil servants who were originally affiliated with the Hedong Road Supervisory Department and Taiyuan Government Office.
Outside the Marshal's Mansion.
They transferred a large number of clerical officials from the former Jingxi South Road Supervisory Department and Xiangyang Prefecture as well as local gentry to make up for the shortage of administrative staff in the Changshiyuan and Sima Yuan.
Afterwards, officials were recruited from various supervisory departments, and most of them were the ancestors of Zhou He, Gaochunnian, Gu Fan and others.
These will determine the center after King Jing officially ascends the throne, including Zhongshu Menxiasheng, Liubu, Yushitai, etc., including Zhou He, Gaochunnian, Gu Fan and others.
Of course, Hu Kai, Xu Wei, Wen Hengyue, Qian Zerui, Zhu Hang and Wang Fan all have the trust of King Jing, and King Jing's prestige is relatively stable, and he is decisive in military and political planning. He will not do it for Zhou He, Gao Chun
In the year, Gu Fan and others could easily manipulate them...
