Chapter 5 The Emperor's Armies

Zhao Huan just took a few sips of tea and a little snack for breakfast, and hurried to the Imperial City Department.

Today, he killed four prime ministers in the court, which would inevitably cause an uproar. In order to protect himself, the old ministers of Song Huizong Zhao Ji were rushing to Zhao Ji's palace. To be at the worst, if he did not take action now, the throne of emperor might only be one day.

Doing whatever you want also comes at a price.

The establishment of the Imperial City Department is particular, just like after the establishment of the Jinyiwei in the Ming Dynasty, the Dongchang was established. While dealing with the bureaucracy, it also played an internal two-way check and balance.

The Imperial City Department is divided into the Exploration Department and the Ice Well Affairs Department. There are seven officials in the Exploration Department and the total number of 10,000 people are in charge of the Exploration Department. The Ice Well Affairs Department has one Ice Well Affairs Officer, and is served by an eunuch (eunuch), and there are a lot fewer Ice Well Affairs Officer, about two thousand people.

At this time, the Ice Well Officer was not with Zhao Huan. He must have arrived at Zhao Ji, the Song Huizong.

After the delicious food and drink, Xie Dahai accompanied Zhao Huan all the way to the Imperial City Department. The other six officials from the Investigation Department came out to welcome the officials, and the other relatives also came out to kneel down and worship.

After hearing about Xie Dahai killing the prime minister in the court today, the Investigation Office suddenly became excited. This was the first time this dynasty has been in this dynasty.

"Long live the Holy Emperor!"

"Everyone, please give me a gift!"

"Thank you, the emperor!"

Everyone lined up neatly.

The emperor walked back and forth in front of the team for a few turns, and a loud voice sounded: "You are my personal army! I am my right-hand man! I am my glory! You are all good!"

I need you to kill now, so I’m here to coax you.

No one expected that the emperor would praise them like this when he came. Everyone was excited and in high spirits.

The official Qiu Xueming of Gan said, "It is a humble duty to share the worries of the saint emperor. I am willing to go through fire and water, and I will never give up!"

After he said this, the others shouted: "Share the worries of the Holy Emperor, and I am willing to go through fire and water, and I will never refuse!"

Zhao Huan also said loudly: "Okay! Thank you Dahai! Come bring the wine!"

"Your Majesty, I am all a rude and petty villain. Your Majesty is a real dragon body. I dare not drink with Your Majesty!"

"Nonsense! You are my good boys. If you don't deserve to drink with me, who's worthy! Xie Dahai, bring the wine."

"Yes! Your Majesty!"

It was cold, strong wind, and snowflakes fell.

Zhao Huan stood outside, wearing a dragon robe and a brocade cloak.

Xie Dahai and the eunuch Wang Kuishan took wine and poured wine for everyone.

Everyone was even more excited. This was the emperor's wine. Only the ministers of the two palaces were qualified to taste it. These Qiu Bawufu could drink the imperial wine at the moment when the literati of the Song Dynasty, and they did not dare to do this in their dreams.

"Come on! Men, I've had this glass of wine first!"

"Long live the Holy Emperor!" Everyone exclaimed again in high spirits, and then drank it all. The wine was not worse than the jade dew and nectar.

After drinking, Zhao Huan said to Wang Kui'an again: "From the future, we will provide monthly wine to the Investigation Office regularly, and there must be no mistakes!"

When everyone heard this, they would drink the imperial wine every month from now on. They were so happy that they wanted to jump up, but they were very respectful in front of the emperor.

The seven officials and the guards all knelt on the ground and expressed their loyalty to the emperor again.

In fact, as emperors, it is very simple to win people's hearts. If they recognize these people or reward them personally, they will devote themselves to it.

Originally, all the thoughts of being the king were instilled in the minds of the Imperial City Secretariat. Now the emperor drinks imperial wine with them and gives imperial wine. What a preferential treatment!

After condolences to his personal guards, Zhao Huan felt more confident.

Doing whatever you want requires strength. The emperor has many cards in his hand, so it depends on how he plays it.

He returned to the inner palace and said to Wang Kui'an: "Come He too!"

Not long after, the Censor General He also arrived.

"Why do you think of your Majesty? Your Majesty's Holy."

Zhao Huan said angrily: "He Aiqing, how did you become the Chief Censor!"

He Ye was shocked and crawled on the ground trembling: "The criminals died! Please forgive me for your sin!"

Needless to say, just the emperor's performance this morning, He already knew what the emperor was talking about at this time.

Four prime ministers were cut down in a row, and three of them had the greatest stains, one was Liang Shicheng, one was Zhu Xie, and the other was Li Yan. The emperor blamed him for not impeaching these three.

The emperor naturally knew who was going to cut down, it was obvious.

Six people in the previous dynasty were closest to the previous emperor, namely Cai Jing, Li Yan, Liang Shicheng, Zhu Xie, Tong Guan and Wang Fu. Abandoned Li Bangyan, the emperor cut three of them in one breath today, and there were three others but they were safe.

He Ye was impeaching Li Bangyan, Wang Fu and others on the surface, but in fact he completely offended Song Huizong's group. He was already from Zhao Huan, otherwise he would not have a place to die.

"What are you guilty of?"

"Return to Your Majesty, Zhu Xie, Li Yan and Liang Shicheng are in trouble and riots in the court, and they are guilty of death, and I am negligent!"

Zhao Huan was not saying anything. Although He Ye was the censor, his mind was very fast. After he sent He Ye a few words, He Ye immediately went down to draft the memorial. This memorial was the memorial that impeached Liang Shicheng, Li Yan and Zhu Xie.

After He Ye left, the emperor did not fall asleep at ease. The biggest hidden danger inside was Song Huizong. He really couldn't sleep, so Zhao Ji had to die as soon as possible.

However, killing Zhao Ji cannot be like killing Li Bangyan and the others.

The reputation of Li Bangyan, Cai Jing and others has long since become stinky among the people. The reason why Zhao Huan dared to do this was because he felt that killing Li Bangyan and others would only think that he was a saint. As for the scholars and officials in the court, let them scold them first.

When I drive foreign enemies to the north first, then close the door and deal with you corrupt scholars!

He knew that the corrupt scholars were powerful, and he would confront the entire Song Dynasty's official group. No one could rely too much on this. Even Li Gang is now an official.

However, due to the current situation, he could not show any fear and suspicion of Li Gang and others. He had to trust him with all his strength. This was something he did not want, but it was a necessary means!

In the morning, Zhao Huan took a break in the imperial study room.

But after tossing and turning, I still couldn't sleep: "Wang Kui'an, where is Li Changyuan?"

"Return to Your Majesty, I have never seen Li Zhongguan since yesterday."

Zhao Huan's face was not changed, but he knew it in his heart. Li Changyuan was probably going to Zhao Ji's side long ago, otherwise why did he not see Li Changyuan until now?

Li Changyuan was in charge of ice well affairs, and there were more than 2,000 imperial city guards with ruthless means, which was undoubtedly the biggest disaster.

"Xie Dahai, have you arranged all the staff I asked you to arrange?"

"Report to your Majesty, all the humble positions have been arranged!"

Zhao Huan was still worried. After all, he had just crossed over and killed four more prime ministers this morning. The situation is very tense now.

"Wang Kui'an, I ordered you to take over the ice well affairs. Do you dare?"

When Wang Kuian heard this, he quickly knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, what is the virtue of me?"

"I will take over you if I ask you to take over! Where does so much nonsense come from!"

"Abide by the order!"

Wang Kui'an was unwilling to do so on the surface, but in fact he had wanted to interfere in the ice well business for a long time.

Zhao Huan knew very well that the reason why he promoted Wang Kuian was telling Xie Dahai next to him that you should do it well!

At the same time, he must also do a good job in preventing Xie Dahai. After all, Wang Kuian is an in-house minister. How big a wave can a eunuch make?

Tong Guan was all named king and was in charge of the imperial guards for twenty years, but he was killed.

After all, eunuchs are disliked by many people. Eunuchs themselves have no sense of security. They must rely on the imperial power to the death. However, in order to prevent the eunuchs from the Han and Tang Dynasties, the Song Dynasty has made arrangements for power constraints in all aspects, so there is no need to worry that eunuchs can make waves.

"Thank you, I want to expand the Investigation Department, and I want the entire Song Dynasty to be filled with guards!"

Xie Dahai was very happy. The emperor really wanted to reuse the Imperial City Department, and his life would be even better in the future.

Even in the morning court, Xie Dahai killed Cai Jing, isn’t it okay now? It’s different to have the emperor as his backer!

The emperor’s personal army! Deployment nationwide!

It sounds so cool!

"I will definitely help Your Majesty solve your worries and will never refuse!"
