Emperor concubine and phoenix

Chapter 494 Meticulous Layout
His majesty's decision was swift and decisive.

At the beginning of the Lunar New Year, the decree passed on the throne, and the Ministry of Rites was ordered to prepare for the enthronement ceremony immediately.

Immediately afterwards, another imperial decree was sent to the harem unexpectedly, and the empress was made empress dowager, and all concubines were promoted to be concubines.

All the servants, maids and guards in Yong'an Palace were replaced.

Guan Ping led the inner court supervisor and the palace guards to quickly execute the emperor's order. The queen and concubines in the harem didn't even have time to react, so they were forced to restrain Yong'an Palace.

All of a sudden, the harem was full of uneasiness, and the hustle and bustle of the New Year receded in an instant, leaving only an atmosphere of depression and uneasiness.

At the same time, the emperor issued a decree to make all the princes kings. The eldest prince Junchen was named King Ling, and granted a fief of 2000 miles in Lianzhou in the southwest.

The Governor of the Nine Gates of the Imperial City is Lu Qingzhou, while the Forbidden Army in the Palace is led by Mo Xuan and Ling Yuan is the Deputy Commander.

The military power is divided into three, who is Mo Xuan who is in charge of the center of the Forbidden Army, the civil and military officials have never heard of it, but there is no time to ask this question, and the successive E arrangements have drowned out the doubts.

A series of arrangements showed that the emperor had premeditated, and even thought of the obstacles that the prince would encounter after he ascended the throne, and quickly resolved them.

Gu Ci, the Grand Tutor of Yushan Academy, was worshiped as the left minister to assist the new emperor. The entire court and the military power of the army were greatly mobilized in one day, and the civil and military officials trapped in the palace had no room to struggle.

No one expected that the emperor would suddenly announce his abdication.

No one thought that the ascension of the new emperor would come so quickly.

Even Ye Junling himself, who was about to become the emperor, felt like he was being put together by his father.

The New Year's Day of the Xinmao Year is destined to be the most special day in Donglan's history.

Throughout history, no emperor has ever been so self-willed, treating the throne of the country as a game, and treating civil and military officials as pawns at will.

There has never been an emperor with such a meticulous layout, making an abdication and succession more earth-shattering than his own planning for the throne.

If there was any minister who thought that the new emperor was young and easy to handle, then under the emperor's layout this time, all self-righteousness will be beaten back to its original form.

In one day, many important positions inside and outside the palace took on a new look. Nine young and courageous ministers in the court were promoted, four mediocre ministers who had been occupying their positions and doing nothing were dismissed, and the Cheng family who had too much military power was invisible. One-third of the power was cut.

The queen's natal nephew, Ling Yuan, became the deputy commander of the imperial army. This position does not have too much power, but being close to the emperor, it can be regarded as a disguised promotion and reuse——

The emperor was telling the Ling family in a tactful way that even though the crown prince had never been liked by the queen, the queen was still the prince's mother, and the Ling family was still the prince's maternal ancestral home.

As long as the Ling family kept their duty, the new emperor would naturally not treat him badly after he ascended the throne.

The emperor's heart is as deep as the sea, his wrists are sharp, and the secret layout during his more than [-] years of reign is fully demonstrated in this resignation.

None of the civil and military officials had a chance to speak, and they had nothing to say. When all the dust settled, they only had the qualification to kneel down to receive the decree and shout long live the emperor.

In the Crown Prince's East Palace, Ye Junling looked at the imperial edict laying quietly on the desk, and said in a calm and composed tone, "Does Si'er have anything to say about all this?"
