Chapter 452 Falling into the Water and Ascension to the Throne (two chapters in one)(2/2)
Even Liu An, the former Kaifeng Prefecture policeman, became the Kaifeng Prefecture Yin.
The people who came down from Chubing Mountain that day, as well as all the civil and military officials in the court, were all rewarded. As soon as the Queen issued this order, the people in Kaifeng City immediately calmed down.
It's just that there are rumors among the people that Empress Maode is just a puppet, and Prime Minister Geng Nanzhong is also a humanoid seal.
Hu Biao and Hu Yitong coerced the emperor to order the princes and relied on a group of party members to control the government. They were just another copy of Cao Cao in the late Han Dynasty.
Secondly, along with the news of the Queen's enthronement, there were also rewards and promises made to officials from various places after Queen Maode issued an edict.
Confessing the ninth prince Zhao Gou as a virtuous king, he promised that the next emperor would pass the throne to his descendants.
She promised that when she was in power, she would never initiate harsh policies such as Hua Shi Gang, and that the Song Dynasty would never make peace, pay tribute, or become ministers. The emperor would guard the country and the king would die in the country.
Among the awards given this time, among the officials from all over the country
There are seven dukes in Canada, 29 marquises, 51 uncles, and more than 300 viscounts and barons.
The Queen also promised that although their current official positions would remain unchanged, they would be promoted in the future.
All political laws and regulations during Huizong's reign remained unchanged, giving greater power to local officials.
For a time, although there were some "hen Si Chen" objections to the empress's ascension to the throne in various parts of the Song Dynasty, overall the situation was barely settled.
There is also basic recognition of the Queen among various places.
Of course, all the above are just information and statements on the surface; privately, I don’t know that there are still conspiracies and disturbances planned...
****
The time is February 12, the first year of Maode, which is the night when Queen Maode ascended the throne.
Location: It was originally a luxurious residence in the inner city belonging to Cai Jing, the leader of the Six Thieves, but now it is the residence of Deputy Prime Minister, Privy Councilor Hu Biao, and Xianggong Hu.
After working hard for several days on the Queen's enthronement.
And it is foreseeable that in the follow-up time, there will be more scenes that require busy work; Hu Biao and others took a break from their busy schedule, and everyone sat together for a temporary meal.
It’s a good reward, I’ve been like a dog since I was so busy before.
After putting a piece of "Dongpo Pork" weighing one or two pounds into his mouth, chewing it a few times and swallowing it, he drank a glass of ice-cold wine.
Yu Hanfeng was in the mood and asked something he had always been curious about:
"Lao Hu, you are what many people call Cao Aha.
Let me tell you, what do you think? Why didn't you choose to be the emperor yourself in the first place, so that we could be kings side by side or something like that, but why did you push Emperor Maode to the throne?
He also asked Lao Ma to lead people to resort to tricks, so that the father and son Zhao Heng and Zhao Ji fell into the water and died, just like those ministers in the Ming Dynasty; they were not happy at all, how about letting me kill him?"
The voice just fell, and the singer, Lao Tie, Fengche, Li San, Chen Tang and others all agreed one after another.
We all agreed that we were really unhappy that Song Huizong and Song Qinzong were allowed to pass away so peacefully, and that the so-called Great Song Dynasty was allowed to continue.
"Isn't it nonsense to rebel and become emperor yourself?"
After hearing this, Hu Biao responded in this way.
In the following time, he slowly expressed his thoughts: "In the incident of Jingkang's shame, the ugly state of the old Zhao family was clearly visible to the world.
But the people in Kaifeng City and the north may feel willing to change to an emperor with another surname because of their personal pain.
But in other places, especially in the hearts of officials, scholars, landlords and gentry in the Jiangnan area.
Their old Zhao Jana is still very popular and is considered orthodox.
We are really going to rebel. Believe it or not, Dingtian has occupied some small areas around Kaifeng City. Zhao Laojiu will be pushed to power and then start a civil war with us.
Or the one that prioritizes dealing with us and does not consider fighting the Jin people at all.
Do you really hope that when the time comes, you will be attacked from both sides, and you will have to engage in internal strife with your own people under the current circumstances, so that the Jin people will laugh at it?
As for the method, it doesn’t matter whether it’s pleasant or not, as long as it works well.”
Faced with Hu Biao's statement, the singer said somewhat unconvincingly:
"So what, can we mobilize the masses at all? Our party has so many excellent and mature experiences, we can definitely learn and carry them forward, and we will no longer need an emperor.
If that didn't work, we simply took a large number of craftsmen and people with us and went to other places to develop, so that both the Jin Kingdom and Zhao Laojiu could use their wits.
When we had the strength, a guy pushed them flat."
This time, there was no need for Hu Biao to speak. Barong, a rookie who claimed to be a history buff, expressed some of his different views:
"Singer, none of your statements are reliable. After all, thousands of years have passed since the incident, and the specific circumstances are different.
The people of this era are still accustomed to having an emperor above their head, but as long as they are from the Zhao royal family, it doesn't matter who they are.
What matters now is that imperial power does not go to the countryside, and all the say in the countryside is controlled by various local tyrants and evil gentry.
If you think about it, even in the modern dimension, the people's wisdom before 49 years ago was much more open than it is now.
Our party has been rumored by those local tyrants and evil gentry to have the appearance of a "Communist Party of Seven (to avoid taboo)".
I don’t know how much trouble and misunderstanding it has caused among my fellow villagers. In this day and age, I don’t know what the rumors will be like, and then we will fight to the end.
Without decades of time, slowly advancing and changing the wisdom will not be effective at all; the system does not have so much time, leaving us to slowly fiddle with it."
What Baron, a rookie, said is indeed quite reasonable.
Because just 3 days ago, the first phase of their mission had been officially completed, although the second phase had not yet been triggered.
But if you think about it with your toes, you know that the grandson of the system cannot be given decades to run it.
As for why they don’t move to another place for development, Lang Qing responded: “There is no need to change places. In fact, Kaifeng City is a good place.
Resources such as coal and iron are quite abundant in the surrounding area.
Even though it's not Jiangnan, due to water transportation, the waterway construction is actually quite complete.
The ability to transport goods by water solves the problem of our current serious shortage of cattle, horses and other livestock for transportation.
In addition, the Central Plains Province is located in a plain and has been a grain-producing land since ancient times.
This time, because a large number of royal family members and officials were arrested, and many gentry ran away on their own, a large number of good fields were left vacant.
It was just used to allow the large number of unemployed people in Kaifeng City to farm and live.
The only problem is that there is already a serious shortage of food in the city. Even if we use this method of farming, not to mention the problem of grain planting, it will take at least half a year before the harvest.
Before the harvest, if there is not enough food, we will not be able to mention the matter of training troops and farming."
After thinking of this, everyone let out a long sigh. Even the table of wine and food carefully prepared by the chef at the best restaurant in Kaifeng City, Fanlou, suddenly tasted tasteless.
Because in ancient times, nothing was more important than food...
