Jia Yun has given Cheng Huanian a privilege, that is, allowing Cheng Huanian to come to the palace at any time to ask for an audience with him, the emperor. This privilege is very powerful. It means that although Cheng Huanian is not an official, he is already equivalent to a close minister of the emperor, similar to the commander of the Jinyi Mansion. The general manager of the internal firearms factory...
In fact, the "Qingbao" newspaper office is currently under the personal control of Jia Yun, just like Jinyi Mansion and Nei Firearms Factory.
That afternoon, Cheng Huanian came to the palace. This time, he did not ask for the meeting on his own initiative, but Jia Yun asked him to come in advance. Cheng Huanian saw Jia Yun in Qianqing Palace, who was wearing mourning clothes and keeping vigil. He wrote the first issue of "Qing Bao" I reported the relevant information of the issuance to Jia Yun.
Jia Yun nodded after listening, and then took out a small bag of Dahongpao: "This is half a tael of tribute tea Dahongpao from Wuyi Mountain. It is what you have longed for. I rewarded you. I hope you will tell the story of "Qingbao" Done well, and I hope you will take good care of your business with me."
Based on the relationship between Jia Yun and Cheng Huanian, Jia Yun naturally knows that Cheng Huanian likes to drink tea, and also knows that Cheng Huanian likes oolong tea the most. She even knows that Cheng Huanian has long dreamed of drinking Dahongpao.
When Jia Yun was the prince, Cheng Huanian once went to the palace to see him. He was so shameless and brave enough to ask him if he had a big red robe. However, Jia Yun did not have this thing at that time. The output of this thing was really ridiculously small. Tianzhi The emperor will not reward him.
Now that Jia Yun has become the emperor and has a big red robe, he doesn't mind giving Cheng Huanian half a tael.
Dahongpao is really too rare. The inventory left by Emperor Tianzhi only lasted a few taels. Today, Jia Yun rewarded him with two and a half. Fortunately, Jia Yun himself does not like oolong tea very much, and he also thinks that these two The reward of both halves is worth it, otherwise it would be heartbreaking.
Cheng Huanian was immediately overjoyed: "Thank you, the common people, for the generous reward from the emperor!"
For him, this was really a big surprise. In the morning, he was still secretly longing to be rewarded with a red robe by Jia Yun in the future. This dream came true in the afternoon, and he did not ask for it, but Jia Yun took the initiative to reward it.
After Cheng Huanian left, Jia Yun continued to keep vigil at Qianqing Palace while planning to make money...
Yes, make money!
In the past, Jia Yun thought that Emperor Tianzhi, who could use all means to make money, seemed to be greedy for money, even though Emperor Tianzhi was not greedy for himself.
Now Jia Yun really understands the original Emperor Tianzhi, and she really sympathizes with Emperor Tianzhi, because now Jia Yun, the new emperor, is also short of money!
At the beginning, Emperor Tianzhi obtained a large amount of property through property raids, coal mining, Jianghuai salt industry, etc. However, after Jia Yun seized the throne, he found that this large amount of property had been almost spent, and now the Qing Dynasty treasury was short of money. , the emperor's Ministry of Internal Affairs was also poor again.
Because the imperial court used silver too much, and also because of the rebellions of Beijingshui family and Dongping Mu family...
This time Jia Yun succeeded in seizing the throne, so naturally he had to spend a lot of money as a reward. Next, the court would continue to spend money, and it would also continue to cost money to quell the rebellion against the Qing Dynasty. Once the Jing family rebelled in the west, there would undoubtedly be another need A large amount of money was used to counter the rebellion...
Fortunately, it was easy and smooth for Jia Yun to raise troops to seize the throne this time, and no war broke out in the sacred city. Otherwise, even if Jia Yun could still succeed in seizing the throne, the economic crisis he would face would be even more serious than now.
For Jia Yun, who has now ascended the throne, making money quickly is a top priority!
How to do it?
Jia Yun has been thinking about this matter repeatedly in the past few days.
He had thought about asking Cheng Huanian to borrow money. When he ordered Cheng Huanian to found "Qing Bao", he originally wanted to ask Cheng Huanian for help. This matter was to borrow money. He originally planned to wait until the enthronement ceremony to tell Cheng Huanian. Later, he carefully thought about it.
After thinking about it, I decided not to do it.
Although Cheng Huanian was a wealthy businessman, his family property was not very large. Just take the property of any Yangzhou salt merchant and he would be far inferior to Cheng Huanian.
Moreover, as an emperor, Jia Yun asked his subjects to borrow money, which would not only damage his majesty, make him look useless as the new emperor, but also lead to instability in the court. The emperor actually borrowed money from his subjects, how could the court be stable?
Fortunately, in addition to borrowing money, Jia Yun has several other ways to make money quickly...
However, while making money quickly, Jia Yun still has an important priority to complete, which is to unblock the sacred city of Jing!
Shenjing City has been sealed for many days. This matter has caused considerable inconvenience and public resentment. Now that Jia Yun has officially ascended the throne, it is naturally time to unblock Shenjing City. Before unblocking Shenjing City, Jia Yun needs to protect herself as the emperor.
Security, ensuring the long-term security of the palace, the imperial city and even the sacred city.
According to the plan that Jia Yun had thought up in advance, he was going to make major adjustments to the defensive system of Shenjing City!
…
…
On the night of the ninth day of the fifth lunar month, Jia Yun summoned Xue Baochai to stay with her in the Yangxin Hall. During this period, Jia Yun proposed to Xue Baochai that she would borrow property worth one hundred thousand taels of silver from Xue Baochai's dowry!
Xue Baochai's dowry was worth as much as 160,000 taels of silver.
When Xue Baochai first married Jia Yun, Jia Yun told Xue Baochai early that if one day he was short of money, he might need to borrow Xue Baochai's dowry. Xue Baochai decisively agreed at that time.
What Jia Yun thought at first was that she might borrow Xue Baochai's dowry to raise troops to seize the throne.
As a result, the development of things was beyond Jia Yun's expectation. Jia Yun did not expect that she would rise up to seize the throne so quickly, and she would encounter an excellent opportunity without spending a lot of money on it.
Even so, Jia Yun still needs to borrow Xue Baochai's dowry.
Because he, the emperor, is short of money now.
But this is not the main reason. Jia Yun just borrowed Xue Baochai's dowry worth one hundred thousand taels this time. Compared with the money he, the emperor, currently lacks, this property is not of great use.
The main reason is two other points.
First, for the good reputation of Jia Yun and Xue Baochai!
Xue Baochai can now be called the Queen of the Department. When the new emperor ascends the throne, he not only takes out his original property, but also gives the Queen of the Department's dowry worth one hundred thousand taels for rewards, the court, and military pay. This
It will undoubtedly increase the good reputation of Jia Yun and Xue Baochai.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Second, in order to ask for property from the Queen Mother!
Emperor Tianzhi was a "poor emperor", but Emperor Kangxing, the previous emperor, was very wealthy. You know, Emperor Kangxing lived a luxurious life when he was in power. After abdicating the throne and becoming the emperor, he would naturally leave a lot of property to himself.
This property was placed in the Ningshou Palace area, and Jia Yun never touched it. Now that the Empress Dowager has returned to the Ningshou Palace area, this property belongs to the Empress Dowager.
Of course it's not that Jia Yun doesn't want to move, he really wants to, but even if he raises an army to seize the throne, it would be excessive for him to rob Emperor Kangxing's property while the Empress Dowager is still alive. He also needs to use this money
The property was used to appease the Empress Dowager and prevent the old grandmother from jumping over the wall and causing a big mess.
Now that Jia Yun has taken out her original property, and Xue Baochai has also given out a dowry worth one hundred thousand taels of silver, Jia Yun can use this as an excuse to go to the Emperor and the Empress to ask for the property!
If the Empress Dowager insists on not giving it, it doesn't matter. Jia Yun has other ways to get money. Moreover, Emperor Kangxing's property cannot escape if it is placed in the Ningshou Palace area. After the Empress Dowager dies, this property will still be returned.
Not the emperor's.
"Your Majesty, I told you that my concubine's dowry also belongs to the emperor, so you can use it as long as you like."
This time when Jia Yun asked to borrow the dowry, Xue Baochai said decisively.
Xue Baochai was not a stingy person to begin with.
What's more, she is now equivalent to the acting queen. She will be appointed as the official queen after the filial piety period. How can she care about the dowry worth only one hundred thousand taels of silver? Without the dowry of one hundred thousand taels, she will still have some money left.
With a dowry of tens of thousands of taels, and since she is now the queen, she will not be short of money to spend.
Moreover, Jia Yun also said that the dowry this time was just a loan and would be returned to her in the future.
…
…
The next day, the morning of the tenth day of May.
Jia Yun summoned many people in the Qinzheng Qinxian Hall of Yangxin Hall, including Cao Wei, Chu Mingkai, Lu Lian, Di Changping, Fang Degong, He He, Cao Wu, Tang Daqian, Yu Zhu...
This was the first time Jia Yun summoned ministers in the Yangxin Hall after moving into the Yangxin Hall.
This summons is to adjust the defense system of Shenjing City!
Under Jia Yun's arrangement, Cao Wei still served as the minister in charge of the Guard Department and was still in charge of the Guard Department. However, the personnel of the Guard Department made some adjustments and added some officers and soldiers from Chang'an Camp. In addition, 3,000 officers and soldiers were selected from Chang'an Camp.
The officers and soldiers formed a pro-military camp, which was under the jurisdiction of Cao Wei.
From then on, the Inner Guards Office, the Guards Office, and the Pro-Barracks were responsible for guarding the palace!
The Hujun camp, which was originally under the jurisdiction of Cao Wei, was merged into the Imperial Guards and came under the jurisdiction of Chu Mingkai, the commander of the Imperial Guards. The inner firearms camp was independent from the Imperial Guards and came under the personal jurisdiction of Jia Yun, under the command of Tang Daqian.
Remove the word "De" from the Wing Commander of the Internal Firearms Battalion and become the actual awarded Wing Commander of the Internal Firearms Battalion.
From then on, the Imperial Guard was responsible for guarding outside the palace and within the imperial city.
The so-called imperial city is a large area centered on the imperial palace, including Jingshan, Xiyuan, etc. The entire imperial city serves the emperor and the imperial palace.
He He became the actual commander of the Nine Gates Infantry Patrol Battalion, and carried out a major change in the fifth rank of the Nine Gate Infantry Patrol Battalion. All the military attaches above the fourth grade were replaced by military attaches promoted from Chang'an Camp. In addition, the Chang'an Camp and the Nine Gate Infantry Patrol Battalion
The fifth battalion transferred 10,000 soldiers.
From then on, the Fifth Battalion of the Nine-Gate Infantry Patrol was responsible for guarding all areas of Shenjing City outside the Imperial City, including the Nine Gates of the Inner City and the Seven Gates of the Outer City.
An additional 10,000 Chang'an Camp officers and soldiers were mobilized to form the Zhongwu Camp, which was stationed on the outskirts of Shenjing City. Cao Wu was promoted to the first-level commander of the Zhongwu Camp.
Zhongwu, Zhongwu, as the name suggests, Jia Yun was previously Prince Zhongwu, and the so-called Zhongwu Camp was his emperor's personal army. From then on, the Zhongwu Army was mainly responsible for guarding the periphery of Shenjing City, and was at the disposal of Jia Yun at any time.
Jingying Jiedushi Lu Lian was transferred to the minister of the bodyguard department, and the position of Jingying Jiedushi was removed and replaced by the position of commander of Jingying. Fang Degong was promoted from the second-rank deputy general of Chang'an Camp to the first-rank commander of Jingying.
As a result, there are still 20,000 officers and soldiers left in the Chang'an camp, including 10,000 soldiers from the fifth patrol battalion of the Nine-men Infantry Army. The post of Chang'an Jiedushi was removed, and the commander of the Chang'an camp was replaced.
In order to reach the first rank, Di Changping was promoted from the deputy general of the Chang'an Camp of the second rank to the commander of the Chang'an Camp of the first rank.
Mu Fu was promoted from the fourth-rank commander of Jinyi Mansion and the envoy of Nanzhen to the third-rank commander and magistrate of Jinyi Mansion and the envoy of Nanzhen. Yu Keping was promoted from the fifth-rank Jinyi Mansion Qianhu to the fourth-rank Jinyi Mansion.
Direct things.
The above are the major adjustments Jia Yun has made to the defense system of Shenjing City this time!
In this way, the safety of his emperor, the palace, the imperial city, and the sacred city will be guaranteed.
But this is only temporary. In the future, Jia Yun will adjust and strengthen the defense system of Shenjing City.
Originally there were twelve Jiedushi envoys in the Qing Dynasty, but four had been revoked before, namely, Shengjing Jiedushi, Hangzhou Jiedushi, Zhenjiang Jiedushi, and Guangzhou Jiedushi.
When the prince of Nan'an County surrendered, he handed over the post of Guangzhou Jiedushi, and Emperor Tianzhi dismissed the Guangzhou Jiedushi at that time.
And this time Jia Yun suddenly canceled the Jiedushi envoys in Beijing and Chang'an, which meant that from now on, there were only six Jiedushi left in the Qing Dynasty, and the number of twelve became six, which was already half the number.
.
It is not difficult to imagine that the remaining six Jiedu envoys will be revoked by Jia Yun one after another in the future. Jia Yun will follow suit to complete what Emperor Tianzhi has not completed.
Now that Jia Yun has become emperor, he will be like the previous Tianzhi Emperor and will not tolerate the existence of an official position like Jieduzhi, because this kind of official position is very scary and has great power, equivalent to local princes.
The reason why the rebellions of Beijingshui family, Dongping Mu family and Mei family were able to create such a big momentum and pose such great danger was mainly because the official position of Jiedushi had great power.
…
…
The adjustments Jia Yun made to the defense system of Shenjing City this time are indeed very large. Such a large adjustment cannot be completed in one day. However, Jia Yun issued an imperial order to complete it within three days. After completion, it will be unblocked.
Shenjing City.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! At noon on the tenth day of May, Jia Yun walked out of the Qianqing Palace where the vigil was held, and wearing mourning clothes came to the Ningshou Palace area located on Huanggong East Road.
Today's Ningshou Palace area is occupied by the Empress Dowager and is home to all the female relatives of Emperor Kangxing.
Jia Yun had already sent someone to greet the Empress Dowager in advance, saying that he would come to the Ningshou Palace area to have lunch with the Empress Dowager at noon today.
At present, Jia Yun, under strict escort, walked into the Ningshou Palace area, walked into the palace where the Empress Dowager was, and came to the front of the Empress Dowager.
"Sun Chen sends his regards to the Imperial Grandmother!" Jia Yun greeted respectfully.
"Why did the Emperor come here suddenly today?" The Queen Mother asked calmly while sitting on the throne.
Although her mood was calm, it was a surprise for Jia Yun. You must know that three days before Jia Yun seized the throne, every time she saw this old grandmother, she did not give Jia Yun a good look.
"Sun Chen has been busy these days and has not been able to have a meal with the emperor's grandmother. It is really wrong. Today at noon, he came to have a lunch with the emperor's grandmother to show his filial piety." Jia Yun said respectfully.
After saying that, Jia Yun said to the eunuch who followed him: "Let's set the food."
Jia Yun brought all the meals this time. Now he dare not eat the food prepared by the old grandmother in front of him for fear of being poisoned!
Immediately, the eunuchs put a table of food on the table, and Jia Yun asked the Queen Mother to sit down first before she took her seat.
For the next few days, the grandfather and grandson ate quietly, hardly saying anything. When they had finished eating, rinsed their mouths, and washed their hands, Jia Yun took a sip of tea, and then looked at
The Empress Dowager said: "Grandmother, I have something to ask of you."
The Queen Mother: "..."
In my heart: I know you have a different purpose for coming here today, haha!
