The emperor finally left the palace under the persuasion of the eunuch.
Fortunately, he had arranged for a substitute before, but now some caring people are paying attention to his substitute, but they have not found him as the real owner.
The emperor, the empress, and the prince, together with their family of three, followed the eunuch and lived in his villa outside the palace.
The queen originally said she could go to her father's house to hide.
The emperor thought to himself, I might have agreed before, but now I know that your father, my father-in-law, who has long been favored by the country, has long been ready to defect to the new dynasty.
It's really ridiculous that the person who has received the most favor from the court will never repay the favor.
On the contrary, those who have sacrificed a lot for the court will pay for it with their lives.
He had already discovered from the divine network that Sun Changcun was running at a speed of one hundred and eighty miles a day, trying to return aid.
However, even he understood that under the watchful eye of the Divine Network, this kind of backup would inevitably be ambushed, and the fate would be clear at a glance.
One hundred and eighty a day, how many soldiers can resist?
Even if you can resist, how much energy do you still have to pick up a sword and a gun?
The emperor shook his head and just picked up a general history to read in the eunuch's study.
He was looking for comfort.
I am not the only one in history who has lost his country.
Just watching, he cried again.
"Other kings who have subjugated their country either don't know how to mince meat, or are in a state of confusion all day long, or have been usurped by powerful ministers, or have strong enemies suppressing their territory, but I have none of these things!"
"When it comes to powerful enemies, I watched them grow up little by little, but there was nothing I could do. It's like a person suffering from inflammation. It was just a small inflammation, but in the end it killed the person!"
In contrast, he felt that his country's subjugation was too unjust!
The key is that he has never had a comfortable life since he took office.
He would not dare to accept beauties offered to him for favors, lest it be recorded in history that he perished because of his indulgence in beauty.
The result is that he has no bad habits, he has not enjoyed the emperor's blessings at all, and he has suffered all the emperor's sins!
Where can I reason from this?
Future generations may sympathize with him, but I'm afraid he will be laughed at even more.
The emperor thought of this and wanted to hang himself again.
Fortunately, at this moment, cheers came from the street outside the small courtyard. After listening carefully, it turned out that the Heavenly Holy Army had entered the city.
When a large army enters a city and the people cheer, unless someone organizes it, it is too rare.
He suddenly had the idea that even if he died, he had to die clearly.
He couldn't be confused, so he got into the divine net and wanted to see what happened.
The emperor was still very familiar with the capital.
He quickly arrived at Zhengyang Gate, which was the most orthodox way to enter the capital. Common people were generally not allowed to pass through, and the gate would only be opened during ceremonies.
For example, offering prisoners.
I saw a row of tall horses passing through Zhengyang Gate.
The emperor turned into an eagle and watched carefully.
The leader is a young man.
He knew that the magician was just a young man.
Some people say it is a gift from heaven, but in his opinion, it is a possession by a demon.
That young man has dull eyes, is he really blind?
This was found out from the intelligence, but he never believed it, and the blind boy could not be seen through the divine network.
Haha, I actually lost to a blind man?
The emperor only thought it was funny.
At the same time, he felt hope inexplicably: "Since ancient times, those who become kings must not be disabled. Those with disabilities will never become kings."
I wonder who will benefit from the world that this blind man worked so hard to conquer in the end.
"When the Heavenly Holy Army enters the city, everything will follow the old rules. Only the officials will be replaced, and nothing else will be left unchanged."
As this sentence was announced, the people on the street gradually stopped cheering.
Didn’t we agree to open warehouses to stock up on grain? Are we going to target big customers?
If you play this trick, everyone will be unhappy.
But another group of people became happy again.
Not moving is good news.
What they fear most is movement.
Only the emperor sneered.
If you really have to follow the laws of Dayan, each of those ministers counts as one, and no one can escape!
This is exactly the case.
Immediately, the three judicial divisions were reopened and old cases were cleared.
The first person to be arrested was the Minister of Punishment. Last year alone, there were fifteen unjust cases, each of which resulted in lives.
The second person to be arrested was the Minister of the Ministry of Finance. The amount of silver he had in his hands was 450,000 taels.
It seems that he hasn't reached 100 yet, that's because he has only been there for a year and a half.
The first few were captured by the emperor.
The emperor's actual power was still very great.
Although he cannot deal with the entire class, he can deal with a certain official.
The emperor looked at it and laughed "haha".
"You old man, if I ask you to donate money, you will donate three hundred taels, but you have five hundred thousand taels hidden at home!"
"It's good now. They haven't changed their ways. Even if they follow the rules of the Great Flame honestly, you can't escape!"
"You can still accuse me of being wronged? Who has wronged you? Is it the money or your butler?"
In the lobby of the Inspection Department, the former Minister of Household Affairs kept shouting "Unjustly Accused".
"It's unjust. This is a common practice. Why do we have to arrest people and ransack their homes? I didn't get any extra money." cried the former Minister of Revenue.
"Routine? Which of the Great Yan Laws says that you can allocate 30% of the money to be drawn down first?" the director-general of the Inspection Department said with a smile.
No one who is caught does not say that this is the default rule, this is the norm.
Routines, routines, Dayan is bound to die, but if he dies decades in advance, he dies because of routines.
"This, this is not the norm. Living in the capital is not easy, how can we still live? How can we spend money when there is such a big welcome? Just relying on the salary of a thousand taels and a few hundred shi of rice every year is simply not enough."
The Minister of the Ministry complained about the bitterness.
"Humph, there is no requirement in Dayan's law to welcome and send you off! If you do your own thing well, you will be promoted. Why do you want to fawn over so many people? Five shi of rice a year is enough for the whole family, but you can get a few hundred shi.
Not enough to eat?”
"That's like eating chaffy vegetables! I studied hard for fifteen years before I was selected as a scholar, and another ten years before I was selected as a scholar. I am already a thirty-three-year-old scholar. I can't be allowed to continue to live that kind of life!" Former Minister of Household Affairs
It also happened.
The emperor listened and felt that what the other party said was very reasonable.
Well, that's why he had to default to regular silver.
He knew these things existed, but he couldn't change them.
If you don't treat your ministers well, how can talented people come to you?
Is it a commoner who doesn’t know how to use big characters?
They will only be greedy for more, see the eunuchs around them.
"There were incorruptible officials in the previous dynasty who only spent dozens of taels of silver a year and lived the same life. You are the ones who read the sage's books crookedly. You talk about Yan Hui's style and commit banditry behind your back!" the director sneered.
The former Minister of Household Affairs had nothing to say.
The handle of the knife is in his hand, so I can just say a few words, but if he continues to talk, he will probably have to use a stick.
Anyone who has tasted it will know the taste of clamping sticks. He has watched three trials several times, and they are really under three trees. Even a dog has to confess.
The emperor was silent.
He understood that the other party relied on its emerging army, which was like a person's new teeth, still clean and strong, so that it could bite through the turbid officialdom and clean it up.
