Chapter 124 123. Miscellaneous affairs mess up state affairs

Three days have passed since the decisive battle outside the city. Due to martial arts and physical injuries, the government affairs during this period have been handled by Lin Xiang and Chen Pingping.Emperor Qing returned to Shangyuan Palace three days later and publicly announced that he would abdicate the throne to Fan Fei.Although they had expected it for a long time, when the facts were before their eyes, the ministers still petitioned again and again to persuade him to stay.

Emperor Qing's tyranny was once again clearly demonstrated, and Qiankun left the palace arbitrarily.He took refuge in Taiping Courtyard to enjoy peace and quiet, leaving the chaotic court situation to Fan Fei.Fortunately, Lin Ruopu, who is well versed in the court, and Chen Pingping, who is ruthless, assisted, otherwise Fan Fei's physical injuries would inevitably worsen.

"See the prince!"

Fan Fei has not yet ascended the throne as emperor, but he already enjoys the noble authority of Emperor Qing.In name, he was still the crown prince of the East Palace, but in fact he already held the entirety of the Qing Kingdom in his hands. This was also the position that the deposed prince and deposed cloud king coveted.

However, what they didn't understand was that their method of fighting for power in order to win the heir was actually how ridiculous in the eyes of Emperor Qing and Fan Fei.

The emperor has the dignity of the emperor, and the Qing emperor has the majesty of the Qing emperor.And this dignity and majesty are the basis for ordering the Qing Dynasty and asking the emperor to impose prohibitions.Facing the obeisance ceremony of the ministers, Fan Fei sat on the throne, raised his hand, and Wang Lin beside him immediately shouted in the hall: "Your Majesty, please stand up! Start the discussion!"

Lin Ruopu has a lot of experience in presiding over the state affairs, and the matters of the performance are also methodical, including six things one by one.From simple to deep, it can be said to be well-organized. After all, we have been doing familiar things and have our own unique style and style.

Chen Pingping checked for omissions and filled in the gaps later, focusing on details, especially down to specific figures.Even Chen Pingping's status is slightly higher than that of Prime Minister Lin, because he is the only one in the entire hall who does not need to salute, even though Fan Jian, his adoptive father, is saluting.

Fan Fei raised his hand to support his chin, and after thinking for a while, he said: "Ms. Lin, Minister Chen, next, the Qing Dynasty will carry out the national policy of recuperation. The two of you will cooperate with the six ministers to make an agenda for Gu."

"Farming, water conservancy, population reproduction, law revision, etc. The entire Qing Kingdom must understand the national policy within the next five years."

Emperor Qing controlled the Qing Kingdom with hegemony. Although the country was strong and prosperous, both the courtiers and the people were suffering from hardship.Qingguo is like a chariot and horse running at high speed. The tension and pressure make people feel depressed.

Now that he is an emperor and a minister, Fan Fei is willing to change national policies to allow the Qing Kingdom to temporarily recuperate, which undoubtedly makes everyone grateful.

Prime Minister Lin and Chen Pingping immediately saluted excitedly: "The Crown Prince is a wise and benevolent man, and the people in the court will remember it in their hearts!"

The civil servants and military generals in the court hall also saluted: "The prince is benevolent!"

"General Ye Dazhong, the Privy Council of the military must also make proper arrangements. The Qing Dynasty eliminated 15 standing troops and let the standing troops of the states and counties participate in guarding the frontier. All soldiers return to their hometowns in turn to maintain military discipline and combat effectiveness. At the same time, the soldiers' treatment and Pension. For specific matters, you can take the King of Chu and several generals from the Privy Council to negotiate."

Hearing such good news, Ye Chong was also very happy. He and the Prince immediately went out to salute: "I will obey the Prince's order!"

Just when everyone was at peace, Chen Pingping suddenly walked out in a wheelchair: "Prince, I have my own book to start."

The cold voice exuded evil aura, and the expression full of murderous intent immediately made all the relaxed-looking courtiers feel a thump in their hearts.Just when the ministers were guessing who Chen Pingping was going to attack, he waved his hand before Fan Fei could respond: "The warrior in front of the palace brings this person up!"

The ministers immediately looked away, wondering if he was really so bold.The prince ascended the throne to supervise the country and preside over government affairs for the first time. He seemed to openly attack and kill people but failed.

Since the Supervisory Yuan and Tenglong Pavilion were split, Fan Fei had dismissed irrelevant government posts and increased the authority of the six departments of the imperial court.Chen Pingping served as the deputy of Prime Minister Lin as the Minister of Zhongshu Province. She held the military power of more than [-] red-armored knights, which was enough to compete with Lin Ruopu.

After really stepping on the bright side, Chen Pingping lost a bit of gloom and cruelty, and a bit more majestic and upright.Today was the first time he was ruthless, and the courtiers couldn't help but recall the Night King who was in charge of the Bloody Overwatch Council.

A group of people, disheveled and embarrassed, were escorted to the temple by guards who looked heroic in armor.Everyone is tied with iron ropes as thin as hair, and their buns are as messy as a beggar's.After entering the political hall, 15 people knelt down in unison.

With dark faces and ashen hearts, these people did not even dare to raise their heads, forming two completely different postures with the warriors in front of the palace.

Since the coup in the court that day, all the warriors in front of the palace who faced Fan Fei with swords were taken down and sentenced to hard labor.Today's warriors in front of the palace are re-selected from the red-armored knights, and they all obey the orders of the palace code who officially serve as the leader of the palace guards.

"People are guilty!"

Chen Pingping raised her hand from the wheelchair to let Gong Dian back down, and then she cupped her hands and said to Fan Fei: "Prince Prince, you reported to the Dragon Clan a few days ago, and Yan Ruohai personally presided over the thunder cleaning, and caught these people who were corrupt and broke the law. The black sheep of the people of the country, please deal with it in court!"

With Chen Pingping's signal, Yan Ruohai led the elite members of the Youlong clan to the palace and delivered all the documents and accusations in their hands to the courtiers.It records in detail the serious crimes of these 15 people. Some were nepotistic, and some even dared to secretly buy and sell positions.

Some people accept large amounts of money through corruption and openly use money to judge the severity of criminal laws and the world.What made the courtiers even more angry was that they blatantly robbed civilian women and used them to seduce cholera and bribe their families.

When Yan Ruohai had his house searched and counted, one of the officials' wealth actually amounted to 10 taels, which was a year's tax revenue for a remote state.

The more Lin Ruopu read the documents, the darker his face became.In the end, he angrily threw the document to the ground, pointed at the 15 people angrily and cursed: "Traitor, have all your books been read into the dog's belly?"

Chen Pingping immediately comforted him and said: "Prime Minister Lin, please don't get angry. How can you handle state affairs for the prince when you are so angry that these people are not worthy of your responsibility."

Being an official for thousands of miles is just for money, and being an official is not that easy.

None of the courtiers in Shangyuan Palace had any "filth" on them, even Fan Fei had things that he couldn't tell the truth.Emperor Qing has always taught by example. Lin Xiang and Chen Pingping also said that when the water is clear, there will be no fish.

Even Lin Ruopu has used tricks. Could it be that the wealth of Prime Minister Lin's Mansion fell from the sky?

Being an official desires power and status, and there is nothing wrong with getting some money, but there must be standards for being a human being and doing things.Just like the money-hungry Wang Qinian, no matter how many minor problems he has, there will always be a bottom line in his heart.And these people have no bottom line at all, even if the sky is in front of them, they dare to empty it out.

I would like to ask if any of the officials in the palace today who like money, power and beauty would dare to act as wantonly as they do in their respective states and counties. They simply treat the land of Daqing as their own kingdom to enjoy themselves.

"Hey--"

Fan Fei rubbed his head with a headache, looked at the officials who were being scolded by the officials at the foot of the steps and said: "When you were having fun, did you ever think about the situation you are in now? Just have enough money. If you don't bring it in life, you won't die. Taken away.”

Snapped--

Fan Feiyue got more and more angry as he spoke, the angrier he looked and the murderous intent in his heart: "Tell me, tell me, what exactly do you want to do!"

"Prince, calm down!"

Seeing Fan Fei roaring with such anger, the ministers immediately saluted and asked him to play.I originally waited for the benevolent government to open the cabinet and the joy of good days coming.It was immediately destroyed by these officials who were corrupt, perverted the law, and preyed on the common people.

Fan Fei is not that indifferent to right from wrong, and has a clear distinction between people.What's more, there are officials in different positions and different positions.Raising his hand to signal Wang Lin to let the ministers stand up, Fan Fei then ordered: "These people will be handed over to the Criminal Department for interrogation, and all charges must be clear. Finally, the charges will be determined by Dali Temple and handed over to Prime Minister Lin for execution. They must be executed at the Meridian Gate in Kyoto. , and it will be decided under the witness of the people."

Upon hearing such a cruel and ruthless ruling, the 15 people immediately begged for mercy, and the noisy voices immediately made the hall extremely noisy.

"Gong Dian, take people away, they are so noisy."

After hearing Fan Fei's order, Gong Dian immediately took him away.Seeing that nothing happened in the court situation, Fan Fei signaled Wang Lin to disperse and leave.Fan Fei entered the imperial study room to review the memorial, and then summoned the King of Chu to let him take his mother and concubine back to the palace for reunion.After all, the harem of the imperial palace still belongs to Emperor Qing. Fan Fei has never set foot in the harem since he entered the East Palace.

Fan Fei was troubled by thousands of chores, and he couldn't help complaining about Emperor Qing's "despicableness".He actually treated his son so badly just because he wanted to see his son laugh.

Even Prime Minister Lin and Chen Pingping did not dare to interfere in the affairs of the Royal Inner Court.No matter how close the relationship is, it is a taboo thing.

……

Fan Fei's method of dealing with the royal family members was relatively gentle. The Queen Mother still lived in the inner courtyard of the palace, and the old lady could go wherever she wanted.Even if his freedom is not restricted, he will not salute and greet him, as if he has never been this person.

As for the queen and concubine Shu, they were naturally taken home by the deposed prince and King Yun.Like other concubines, they could live in the newly built "Yichun Garden" if they wished, and could meet Emperor Qing from time to time.

Taiping Bieyuan is Ye Qingmei's residence, except for those approved by Fan Fei and Emperor Qing, those Yingying and Yanyan are not qualified to step there.

After the deposed prince was deposed as the crown prince, Fan Fei ordered the reconstruction of the feudal prince's palace and conferred the title of King of Han on the deposed prince.Both of them were released from prison and could receive 5 taels of money from the Ministry of Internal Affairs every year. This money was enough for them to live a wealthy and noble life.

You can do whatever you want on weekdays, as long as it's not rebellion and rebellion.With Concubine Shu accompanying him, King Yun suddenly wanted to do business, and Fan Fei also gave him strong support.As long as it doesn't violate national laws, he can do whatever he wants.

The same is true for other vassal princes. Each vassal prince's palace has 5 taels of silver.Regardless of the number of his heirs, regardless of his power or position, this is also the compensation for taking back the state-owned land of the vassal king.

In terms of seniority, Prince Jing is Fan Fei's biological uncle.He had no desires and desires, but Prince Jing would not agree. After all, who doesn't want to be in a high position and have a beautiful wife and concubine.He originally thought that if he took refuge in King Yun, he would definitely be left out in the cold.Unexpectedly, King Jing found Fan Fei and sent him directly to the Ministry of Revenue to serve as a third-grade minister under Fan Jian.

If you have merit, you will be appointed as appropriate.

The only thing that worries Fan Fei is the deposed prince, who is now the King of Han.He seems to know something, and he often talks to himself in a daze.The intelligence from the Shadow Dragon Clan even described that he often walked around the streets of Kyoto, and he must have some secret plans and actions.

Fan Fei was not worried about his rebellion, but worried about the innocent people he would implicate after his rebellion.Although Fan Fei is kind, he is not incapable of killing.As long as the person is found to be a rebel and treasonous person, his butcher knife will never leave any trace of affection, and he will dare to kill even his own brother without mercy.

Fan Fei only hoped that King Han would never be deceived by "someone with good intentions" and do something he would regret.Now that he has done everything he should do, I hope King Han will think clearly and come out of the haze.
