The emperor only used a few simple words to completely restrict Wang Fu and many ministers. The temple did not fall into chaos. Reports from various places arrived at the Shangshu Desk, and Yuan Fenghui personally inspected them.
Regarding military affairs, leave it to the Taiwei. Regarding taxes and farming, leave it to Wang Fu. Regarding academic affairs, leave it to Cai Yong. Without Yuan Feng, they cannot give orders privately.
Without their consent, Yuan Feng was not qualified to govern these matters.
They can only go through many restrictions, and there is Cui Shi on the side to ease their relationship so that the state affairs will not be completely paralyzed. There is also Zhang He supervising the ministers to prevent them from colluding. For Zhang He, Song Dynasty was left in the palace.
Dian, the emperor did not take Song Dian away because he gave Song Dian the power to temporarily govern Zhang He. Zhang He was under the jurisdiction of Song Dian, and Song Dian was just a eunuch and had no way to restrict other ministers.
This is a very clever balance, including Su Wei, Gengsu, Zhi Jinwu, etc., which are not related to each other. The emperor's father-in-law is Zhi Jinwu, standing side by side with Zhang He, supervising all the officials. For this old father-in-law,
The emperor still trusted Song Qi and did not impose any restrictions. In the name of increasing Song Qi's knowledge, he brought his father-in-law's only son with him.
After Wang Fu thoroughly saw the emperor's deployment in Luoyang, he shook his head helplessly. If the emperor did not return for a day, he would not be able to perform his duties as a disciple. He could only say that not only himself, but also all the officials
, no one is completely trusted by the emperor. Wang Fu doesn’t know where the emperor learned such tactics...
The emperor patrolled the north, rushing from Luoyang to Yanzhou, and then all the way to Jizhou. The soldiers from the north and south were clearing the way, and the people met along the way. The emperor did not rush directly to the two states. In some counties, the emperor also
He would get out of the car and talk to the local people. The people were trembling and looked at the Holy Emperor. The Emperor asked them about farming and mulberry farming, and whether the officials were good or bad.
The emperor did not tell the exact route, so all the officials in the north quickly became involved in political affairs. Even some officials who usually only drank and discussed poetry with their friends and did not know anything about farming and mulberry trees also went there one after another.
The farmlands in various rural areas showed great enthusiasm, which made the people a little stunned. Then they heard the news that the emperor was coming, and they suddenly realized.
Going all the way like this made the people happy. In the past, many emperors went out on patrol. However, it was a good thing for the people to go on patrol because the emperor would express goodwill to these people and punish some corrupt officials along the way.
, and asked the accompanying historians to record it. This is the best proof of the emperor’s benevolent government!
When he arrived at Dongwuyang, the emperor had already met many people and some young officials. The emperor was very fond of these young officials. They all had a great enthusiasm. When the emperor saw their
At that time, I could see his tanned face, which made the emperor very happy. Of course, there were still many officials who were not afraid of death.
Along the way, a total of four county magistrates were directly dismissed and imprisoned by the emperor, taken into prison cars, and sent directly to Luoyang. These four county magistrates either neglected their duties or were embezzled and bribed. What they have in common is that they
They are all close relatives of some Huangmen in the palace, and one of them is a clan brother of Song Dian. After the emperor came to power, the power of the eunuchs in the palace was no longer as huge as before.
However, at the local level, these close relatives of eunuchs are still doing evil things. In the name of the emperor's slaves, many officials dare not speak out. This is because the emperor's prestige is too great today and has completely overwhelmed many parties. The emperor suddenly realized that he had been doing his best to suppress the party members, and there was something wrong.
It was the month when the emperor issued an edict in Dongwuyang:
Order the ministers of the court to report the governor, governor, prime minister, county magistrate, etc. who are corrupt and harm the people.
The officials to be reported are different from the officials in the past. These are all high-ranking officials with two thousand stones. Especially, they also involve governors. As soon as this order came out, the governors all over the world were frightened and eradicated the evil in the counties. The thieves who harmed the people went to the temple one after another to express their loyalty. What was unexpected was that many officials in the north did not suffer any setbacks. Instead, many officials in the south lost their official positions and were taken to the court.
Among them, the biggest case is the case of Zhao Kai, the governor of Jingzhou. Zhao Kai was the governor of Jingzhou. Previously, there were thieves in Cangwu and other places. Yang Xuan, the prefect of Lingling, killed nearly ten thousand thieves with a thousand soldiers and beheaded them. The head of the thief chieftain was dedicated to the temple, but unexpectedly, Zhao Kai falsely accused Xuan of being a thief who was not a thief, but was claiming his merits, saying that he was deceiving and it was impossible for such a large-scale bandit to appear in Jingzhou and Jiaozhou.
Later, he colluded with many surrounding county guards to impeach Yang Xuan, and placed the credit for defeating the enemy on the Guiyang thief Cao, his brother Zhao Yu. Poor Yang Xuan was sent to the prison car , and was transported to Luoyang. During this period, he was beaten severely and was unable to defend himself.
Yang Xuan bit her arm, wrote her grievances on her clothes, and handed them to her confidants. Later, several officials in Jingzhou jointly reported Zhao Kai's evil deeds. The whole temple was shocked. This time, they held a meeting During the first court meeting, Yang Xuan was tortured until she was reduced to a human form and was brought before the ministers. Yang Xuan cried and told everything she had suffered.
The next day, the prison car set off from Jingzhou again, but this time, it was Zhao Kai and his close associates who were sitting on it.
A total of five people with two thousand stones were arrested in Jingzhou, which was beyond the imagination of the emperor who had already arrived in Yecheng!

"Queen, Your Majesty hosted a banquet for brothers of the same clan, and sent someone to hope that the Queen can attend the banquet..." A palace maid whispered.
Queen Song smiled and nodded. He Guiren has been in the palace for a long time, but she has not met his relatives yet. Logically speaking, Queen Song, as the master of the harem, should be the host of the banquet. For He Guiren's banquet, Empress Song didn't think there was anything wrong with her brother's matter. As a woman, she often missed her family. This time, the emperor took his younger brother with him on his northern tour.
This incident made Empress Song happy for many days. Now He Guiren also wants to see his relatives. This is understandable.
Queen Song took her maids with her and went to the banquet.
When she arrived at the banquet, everyone was waiting for her to come. He Guiren stood up, paid homage, and called her queen. At the banquet, He Guiren's biological father and two brothers also quickly stood up and paid homage to the queen. Empress Song He had a gentle temperament and quickly asked several people to stand up and talk to each other one by one to express their closeness. He Guiren was also very respectful to the queen.
The queen hugged Prince An and looked at everyone with a smile.
"Queen, when I was a child, I used to pick tea in the countryside...Now that my family has sent me good tea, I will personally serve it to the Queen..." He Guiren smiled and placed the teas in front of everyone one by one.
He took out another one and handed it to the Queen, and said with some emotion: "Thank you Queen for your love and care for me over the years..."
Empress Song smiled, shook her head, and said, "Sisters, why do you and I need to be so polite?"
After saying that, he stretched out his hand and took the copper cup.
