In the next month, the ministers were overwhelmed by the changes. I won’t talk about the disappearance of Zhao Guiren and the fourth and fifth princes. News came from northern Xinjiang that the invading army of Yan State was killed by the third prince, now the prince.
His Highness defeated the entire army and captured Tiebikuan and Qingfeng Pass of Yan State.
When this news came, Liu Yu's power became even greater, and no one in the court dared to confront Liu Yu anymore. Then Liu Yu very wisely sent Fu Youde, Lan Yu, and others to the armies in all directions.
Keep the army firmly in your own hands.
Subsequently, the reform of the official positions of the Ming Dynasty began. All countries in the mainland of China basically followed the same model, which was somewhat similar to the Three Gongs and Nine Ministers system of the Han Dynasty. The aristocratic families had a strong say in the court. The Ming Dynasty's
The imperial court was changed to a model similar to the cabinet system of the Ming Dynasty.
As for the cabinet ministers, in addition to Chen Gong, Li Shanchang, and Shen Conglin, two officials from the imperial court were also promoted to the cabinet. This was also to facilitate the emperor's inability to go to court from time to time, which delayed the government's affairs. After all, the Ming Dynasty's cabinet system
Next, I think about Emperor Wanli, who has not been in court for many years, and the country has not yet turned around as it should.
Finally, Liu Yu also stipulated that the cabinet members should be appointed by the emperor and be replaced every five years, and could not be re-elected for a maximum of two terms. Anyway, with the number of draws, he has more and more people in his hands, and he is not afraid of cabinet changes.
Ordinarily, for such a big matter, Liu Yu, a prince, is not qualified to supervise the country, and Chen Gong and others are unknown. But Liu Yu's power is deeply rooted in people's hearts, and after such a change, there will be more opportunities.
Everyone has a chance to climb higher.
Nowadays, apart from the Chen family, there are no top aristocratic families in the Ming Dynasty. The six extra ministers and cabinet ministers all need manpower. How many aristocratic families are fighting to please Liu Yu, just for the chance to one day get an official position.
professional.
Chen Huanqing was opposed to it. Unfortunately, Liu Yu had already taken control of the Ming Dynasty. It was useless for him to cry alone. Besides, the 300,000 forbidden troops in northern Xinjiang were about to return to the court. These people would no longer belong to Chen Huaqing.
His subordinates. Even though Chen Huaqing was Liu Yu's biological uncle, and even though the internal factions of the Forbidden Army were divided and could only be fully mobilized under the emperor's orders, Liu Yu was still worried about handing over 500,000 Forbidden Army into his hands.
A month has passed quietly, and the internal control reform has come to an end. The remnants of the Wu and Zhou families in the Ming Dynasty have been purged. Of course, it has not been smooth sailing during this period. If there is any trouble, the wolf cavalry will be able to do it in a few days.
It can be reached within a few seconds and can be solved immediately. It can be said that in this month, Liu Yu has firmly controlled the Ming Dynasty.
However, things were not all smooth sailing. When they heard that Liu Yu, who had offended the Lieyan Sect in the past, had become the crown prince, the Lieyan Sect pretended to come out to congratulate him. Then he made a request that the offerings sent to the Lieyan Sect this year should be increased by 30%.
Damn it, more than half of the income of the Ming Dynasty has to be dedicated to the Lieyan Sect and the Daling Dynasty. Today, the Lieyan Sect came and asked for a 30% increase. Liu Yu almost turned his face at that time. But now is the troubled time, the Lieyan Sect is in the Ming Dynasty.
He existed like an emperor in matters of state, and his disciples were all over the world. They were everywhere in the military and official circles. Liu Yuzheng could endure it for the time being.
However, Liu Yu didn't want to have a Supreme Emperor on his head. He had already made up his mind silently. When he ascended the throne and consolidated his power, he would immediately send troops to the Lieyan Sect to destroy him. He was ready to consider it. This was the most important consideration.
Months passed, and finally the people from the Lieyan Sect said a few harsh words and left angrily.
On this day, the weather was a bit gloomy, and the atmosphere in the palace was also a bit gloomy. For no other reason than that Emperor Liu Wei knew that he would not be able to survive. Now Liu Yu is in the Yangxin Hall, and Liu Wei is waiting on him.
Liu Wei, who had been poisoned into his heart and lungs, was breathing intermittently, and black blood would flow from the corners of his mouth from time to time. Liu Wei asked intermittently, "Yu'er... you... tell me honestly... you...
.Have you ever...attacked...your fourth and fifth emperor brothers?"
"Father, I don't need to lie to you now. I really didn't take action against them. To be honest, I was ready to take action to eliminate future troubles, but it's a pity that they ran away. Maybe Zhao Guiren had some back-up plan.
, they can get out of the palace!"
Grabbing Liu Yu's hand, Liu Wei was so excited that he couldn't even roll his tongue and said urgently, "Promise me, let them be ordinary people and don't embarrass them."
"Okay, I promise you." Liu Yu in turn held Liu Wei's hand and said firmly, "If they don't go against me in the future, whether they want to be an idle prince or a common man, I will never do it again.
Investigate what happened in the past. But if they persist in changing their minds, my father, don’t blame me for being ruthless."
"Okay, okay, don't worry..." Liu Wei's voice became weaker and weaker, and finally he could no longer be heard. After Liu Yu carefully investigated, he discovered that Liu Wei had expired and was still alive before he died.
With a hint of relaxation.
"Your Majesty has passed away!" As these words were shouted, there was a cry of mourning inside and outside the palace. The magnificent palace was covered with white sails and white sand. Looking from a distance, it seemed as if there had been a rain.
There was a heavy snowfall, and the entire palace was covered in silver.
The emperor's funeral was so solemn and solemn, and the scene so grand. Dealing with such matters was indeed quite cumbersome for Liu Yu. After all the etiquette was completed, Liu Yu was exhausted. At night, Liu Yu had to keep vigil.
.
Of course, as a prince, as long as he makes a token appearance, the best thing is to guard it for three days. After all, a country cannot be left without a master for a day, and there are a lot of things waiting for it. Moreover, China mainland is full of heroes.
In a place where the leader of a country dies, if the country becomes unstable, other countries will definitely rush in and take a bite. At this time, the prince dares to keep vigil for a long time.
"My lord, my lord!" Just as Liu Yu was practicing kung fu while guarding the body, a deep voice rang out. This guy woke Liu Yu up in an instant.
Liu Yu opened his eyes suddenly and saw the person clearly. Then he slowly asked, "Chengdu, what's the matter with you?"
He bowed respectfully to Liu Yu, and then Yuwen Chengdu slowly said, "My lord, there is a force secretly gathering strength in the army these days. It seems that many officers have been roped in, and it has formed a large scale."
Then Yuwen Chengdu gathered a few people around him and introduced to Liu Yu, "These people are all middle and lower-level officers such as Du Bo and Yamen General in the Forbidden Army and the Imperial Guard. They were initiated by the lord with secret books and are loyal to the lord."
.The subordinates also heard their report, and then”
The secret books that Liu Yu extracted from the system not only allowed people to instantly rise to a certain level and learn martial arts skills quickly. They also made the users die-hard and loyal to Liu Yu. Except for some used in the Northern Army, the rest except
After giving it to Lan Yu, Di Qing and the others used it to control the army, and most of the rest was spent on the middle-level officers of the Forbidden Army and the Imperial Guard. These people can be said to be loyal to Liu Yu and will not lie to him.
However, the words of these people did make Liu Yu slightly shocked. Someone was secretly gathering troops. This could not be a joke. He frowned slightly and looked at the few people who were coming. Liu Yu asked slowly, "You guys?"
If you find anything, tell me, tell me!"
After these people saw Liu Yu, they were very excited, trembling and even speechless. Liu Yu asked for a long time, but they just kept sweating, and no one could speak.
Finally, there was an older person who calmed down and said stumblingly, "Your Highness, my subordinates obeyed the general's order yesterday and said that they would gather on the day of Your Highness's enthronement, and strictly ordered them not to tell anyone. At that time,
The subordinate realized that something was wrong. Although such an order was normal, it did not mean that it should be kept secret. Later, after careful investigation, the subordinate realized that something was really wrong, so he found an opportunity to stop General Yuwen and report this to him.
thing."
This man's words made Liu Yu frown. He had never issued a similar order. This meant that another force wanted to give him a "surprise" on the day he ascended the throne. Afterwards, Liu Yu felt a little cold.
He asked, "Do you know who he is? Is he Guiren Zhao?"
"I don't know, this subordinate is just a general. The general will not tell his subordinates such things. However, I found out that the general seems to be very respectful to the visitor!"
"Respectfully?" Liu Yu had a guess in her mind. Zhao Guiren is still playing this trick after he disappeared. Many of his policies these days have harmed other people's interests. It is possible that they can gather together. But Zhao Guiren, a weak woman, has no power now.
If no one supports it, who will believe it?
Finally, Liu Yu nodded, then closed his eyes, "I understand, you all get off!"
