Just after the third year of junior high school, Wen Tianxiang organized military and political officials stationed in Ezhou to conduct an interrogation of the Weisheng Army's case. Zhao Bing did not participate this time, and strictly prohibited the affairs bureau and the military guards from intervening in the case. The imperial front office only compiled and reported the interrogation results every day so that he could understand the progress of the case, but did not express any opinions. One way to avoid being able to interfere with the interrogation. After all, he was the emperor, and his eyes and even gestures would make his subordinates think for a long time, thus making a wrong judgment; the other way was to avoid suspicion, he talked about manipulating the case and eliminating dissidents.

These days, when Zhao Bing was exploring the way to govern the country, he was also thinking about where he would go and what role he would play as the situation changed. To be honest, he sometimes felt that being an emperor might be the hardest profession, and they were also the most unfortunate people. If he didn't work hard, he would lose his life. But if he really wanted to let him down, he would really be reluctant to let him go. What he said was that he was concerned about the people and the old land had not yet returned; and the words that could not be said were the greed for power, and he couldn't bear to let him go!

But Zhao Bing had long figured out that the emperor was the freest person in the world because his power had no restrictions; the emperor was the least free person in the world because his power had no boundaries. It was precisely because his power was too huge that the fundamental reason for the misfortune of the Chinese emperors, and they also knew very well that everything he had came from his own power. In order to maintain his supreme honor, the emperor must firmly grasp the power and cannot let go of it at all.

The focus of interests must be the focus of power. How many elite figures in the world are coveting, weighing, spying, and planning a throne day and night. In order to make the people of the world become their own slaves, the emperor himself became a slave of power first. He must love his power as if he were caring for his eyes, and he could not relax every minute. The fear of being deprived of power made the emperors and gods always feel extremely nervous, even in a panic, and the plants and trees were full of soldiers, showing some kind of mental illness, and even suspected that everyone might be his imaginary enemy.

Zhao Bing read the "Instructions on the Emperor Ming Ancestors" written by Zhu Yuanzhang to his heirs. In addition to family rules and advice, he also taught his "life-saving" way to his descendants. He said:

Whenever an emperor is at peace, he should always be vigilant and should not relax day and night, so that he will not be able to be peeped at and the country will not lose his country. He should be treated as if he was on the battlefield every day, pay attention to the words and actions of the people around him during the day, and patrol closely at night to ensure the safety of the palace. Even if the confidant meets day and night, he should be vigilant, so it is said that there is no need to be prepared for any trouble. If there are confidential matters to discuss with his confidants and need to be shut down, then the guards should not retreat too far. At most ten feet, no further distance! The tools and armor should not be left left and right. You should also choose several good horses, placed at the palace gate and the city gates, with saddles and chariots to prevent accidents.

At that time, Zhao Bing thought it was funny. Who would always think about you? But when he had power, his mentality changed immediately. His original intention of doing anything can be said to be related to saving his life, but this also has to be with ensuring that power is in hand. Therefore, he always maintains a vigilance to ensure that his will is absolutely smooth, and his monopoly of power has repeatedly crushed any threats and challenges to the imperial power. But at the same time, he had to turn himself into a cow and take on a heavy workload.

It is true that "no matter in the world is determined by the best." Even those genius emperors had to become workaholics. Qin Shihuang stipulated that he had to read 120 kilograms of bamboo slips every day before he could rest. Zhu Yuanzhang once read 1,660 memorials and handled 3,391 state affairs within eight days. On average, he had to read more than 200 memorials every day and handled more than 400 state affairs. During the reign of Emperor Yongzheng, who died of exhaustion before the case, he claimed that he "was diligent in the world", did not go to patrol fortunes, did not hunt, and took charge of political affairs every year. After thirteen years of reign, he wrote more than 10 million words of red criticism.

Emperor Kangxi, who had always wanted to live another five hundred years, had his own explanation for the short life of emperors of all dynasties. He expressed his thoughts in his will: Since ancient times, emperors have lived for many years but never lived, and scholars have often criticized them. How did they know that the troubles of government affairs faced by the emperor are overwhelming. Those who are ministers, if they want to be officials, they will become officials, and if they don’t want to do it, they will go home and hug their grandsons and live a life of ease. The emperors are not so happy, and they cannot entrust their responsibilities to others. Once they become emperors, they will have no way out and dare not think about comfort anymore!

In addition to fatigue, the emperor's life also had a prominent feature - stereotype, and Zhao Bing was also deeply troubled by this. The huge secular power had already exhausted him, but the traditional culture's requirements for the emperor were not limited to this. China is a society governing rituals. Since the emperor is a natural saint and a master of the people, every move should be more aware of the way of heaven, abide by etiquette, and have rules and regulations to achieve the good situation of "one person is upright and the world is upright". Therefore, throughout the ages, a complete set of emperor rules based on etiquette and law have been established, so that the emperor's life is regulated every minute...

If Zhao Bing was just a little tired, he could still bear it, but his life was unbearable to him. When he was in Qiongzhou, his rebellion was already controversial. At that time, he was "small" and the empress dowager was behind the curtain. He could make a fool of himself by acting cute and pretending to be stupid. But now he had to settle in Lin'an and rule the world. If he wanted to escape, it would be difficult to be lazy. However, he felt that as long as he thought, he would have a way, which reminded him of his previous life when he was a young executive. He had a repairman in charge of repairing equipment. In addition to routine inspections of the supervisor's equipment every day, he would hide aside and play with his mobile phone and sleep in. However, the others were busy and had little time.

Seeing that he was very lazy, Zhao Bing could not politely call him over and thought it was a pity, but his words immediately gave up his thoughts. Even if he found out that he was "lazy", he ignored him again. So he said: The task of the repairman is to maintain the operation of the equipment. If I am busy, it means that the equipment is broken and production is forced to stop. If I am idle, it means that the equipment is running normally, and production is of course normal. Then do you hope that the maintenanceman will be busy or idle?

Zhao Bing immediately became silent after hearing this. Thinking about it, this is true. His boss often says what the highest level of enterprise management is, that is, the enterprise can operate normally regardless of whether the leader is present or not. If the boss is busy and can only maintain it, it can only indicate that there are problems in the enterprise management system, unclear responsibilities and powers, or excessive interference from leaders. Now I think there are similarities between managing the state and repair workers. As an emperor, he cannot interfere too much in the operation of the state machine, but should do something and not do something, so that the state machine can spontaneously and benignly operated under the established rules.

At present, Zhao Bing felt that he had to be a repairman, inspect the operation of the equipment, dismantle the problematic parts, and repair the equipment that could not be normal. Of course, before this, you must prepare the procedures, formulate the process, and follow the continuous adjustment and running-in to find the best plan, select reasonable processes, so that every part of the equipment can operate normally and produce qualified products.

At this time, Zhao Bing's hearing is observing the operation of the state machine, seeing which part of it is prone to problems, and how to improve it. From the official documents, he found that without his participation, the interrogation work was also proceeding in an orderly manner, which shows that Wen Tianxiang, the "manager", is very competent and his work is also effective. In other words, he can take a break after the production task is assigned. If he hires a few more such employees, why bother going to court every day!

However, Zhao Bing also knew that not all the hardworking and selfless ministers in the world were Wen Tianxiang. There were also those hypocritical guys who rely on judging the superiors and charming the Lord to show "better", thus usurping power and becoming powerful ministers to undermine the emperor. So he knew that it was impossible to live a comfortable life completely, but he still hoped that the life he traveled through time would be easier, preferably with both fish and bear's paws, and was afraid of a dream of yellow and beautiful women...

After more than ten days of interrogation, Qin Linfeng's crimes were basically found out, Wen Tianxiang and everyone were being reviewed and sentenced. In Qiongzhou, Liu Fu personally led a team to Minguang. Yesterday, there was also news feedback. The value of the property retrieved from his home alone was as high as 400,000 yuan, and other crimes were being investigated and verified. Zhao Bing issued an order to ask Liu Fu to temporarily stay in Zhangzhou, rectify the administration of Fujian and Guang, and detain all the criminals involved in the case. After the interrogation, the court made a decision.

However, as the Lantern Festival was so bad that people were busy, he naturally did not make it easy for him to do it. So he went to Jiangling to comfort the army in the name of having fun with the people, inspected the construction site of Jiangling City, paid tribute to the battlefield of Wu and Shu that year, met with Wu Longqi, Zhang Ba, and Huang Zhijie, and praised the people who made contributions from each army, and then spent the festival together.

The next day, Zhao Bing went deep into various armies to investigate the situation of grassroots officers and soldiers. Speaking of which, these divisions were not their own direct line, but were changed by the imperial guards in front of the temple. The components were extremely complicated, including the Jiang family's soldiers, Zhang Shijie's Huai Army, and various rebels who were incorporated. After reorganization, Zhang Shijie's senior officers were basically dismissed. He took the opportunity of reorganization and training to insert many of his own people as grassroots officers and promoted a group of rebel officers.

After that, Zhao Bing took advantage of the opportunity of training the new army to "communicate" the officers and appointed a group of local officers, thus weakening the influence of the Jiang clan, completely completing the reorganization, and becoming a basic force for the armed forces of the dynasty. During this northern expedition, they fought from Qiongzhou to Jiangling. Next, they will assume the main force of defense in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River and the western part, and complete the current strategic layout.

In the next few days, Zhao Bing sailed along the river with Jiang Jin and the generals, surveyed the terrain of Jingzhou, re-selected important places to set up military camps, built forts, established beacon towers, and further improved the defense system on the south bank of the Yangtze River. He also asked everyone to complete the recruitment of new soldiers as soon as possible, seize the time to train and form an army as soon as possible. Everyone should also take Qin Linfeng as a warning and remember not to violate the laws and regulations of the country, otherwise the military law is ruthless and no one can save him.

On the 18th of the first lunar month, Wen Tianxiang sent someone to report, and the Prime Minister of Lu sent an envoy to ask Your Majesty to return to the capital as soon as possible. Now the court has accumulated cases like a mountain, and they are waiting for Your Majesty to make a decision. Moreover, the case in Fujian and Guangxi has been closed. Except for more than ten senior officers above the commander who need to return to Beijing for review, the crimes of the other 100 people have been investigated, and everyone has confessed their guilt and can be executed after Your Majesty's approval.

On the 20th, Zhao Bing returned to Ezhou for review and approved the implementation, and issued an order to appoint Xie Fangde as the Jiangxi Punishment Envoy, Han Zhen as the general manager of the Jiangxi Army, with Longxing as the capital, Huai'en Army and Weisheng Army organized three independent divisions and six independent brigades, and stationed in key places; the Sixth Division was moved to Ezhou, with the commander Pan Nian as the governor, and Xie Fu as the governor of Yuhou; Dong Yi was appointed as the commander-in-chief of Jinghu Naval Division, responsible for the water defense of the Jiangling to Jiangzhou section, and the main force was stationed in Ezhou.

Jiang Zheng was appointed as the general commander of Huguang's military and political affairs, with Jingzhou as the capital; the Seventh Division stationed in Jiangling, with Wu Longqi as the governor; the Eighth Division stationed in Yuanjiang Road, with the division commander Zhang Ba as the governor; the Ninth Division stationed in Nanning Road, with the division commander Huang Zhijie as the governor; the Most of the 10th Division moved to Qinzhou Road, with the division commander Zhang Da as the governor. The order was appointed Jiang Ke as the governor of Qiongzhou, with the military and political affairs. After the expansion of each division, it will be adjusted. Local officials will be appointed or confirmed after the court has investigated it.

Zhao Bing still wanted Mrs. Xu to stay in Jiangxi, but after his return, he was decided, so he rewarded her with 50 hectares of land to return to Jinjiang and allow her son to attack Jian'an Marquis. Song Lian, the former commander of the Huai'en Army, was ordered to reorganize the captured Northern Army and go to Jiangsu and Zhejiang to undergo further reorganization. On the 22nd, more than 50 commanders under the command of the Weisheng Army were sentenced to death and were taken to the Wuchang Gate to openly execute fire, and the rest of the people who were not guilty of death were assigned to hard labor camps to serve their sentences.

After everything was finished, Zhao Bing did not want to delay any more. He was preparing to leave the next day, but he failed to do it. Choosing auspicious day to leave and avoiding days that are not suitable for travel is a custom that has been followed in history, and the same was true in the Song Dynasty. In addition to specific days, there is also a monthly sacrifice for each month, that is, the first day of the day, and not going out for the fifteenth day, because he should worship his ancestors and gods at home these two days. Leaving home is disrespectful to the ancestors and gods, so it is not auspicious. There are some cumbersome calculation methods for choosing auspicious day to travel. He did not believe it, but he also had to take care of everyone's emotions. He could only choose to start and return to Beijing after two days.
