Chapter 257 The Capital Where Xin Zhao Wasn't

Unconsciously, it has been five days since Xin Zhao left the capital, and as early as the day after Xin Zhao left Beijing, the group of refugees came to the capital to find Wang Xuance with Xin Zhao's token.

The news that the emperor might have left the capital spread throughout the capital, and there was no other way.

Although those refugees did not know that the person who rescued them was the current emperor, but the emperor's departure from the capital was not something that could be really sealed.

After all, there are still many ways for some interested people to inquire about some of these things in places like the imperial palace.

The descriptions of those refugees only confirmed everyone's speculation from the side.

For a while, speculation about why the emperor left Beijing suddenly and innocently changed from whispers in the dark room to gossip among the people after dinner.

All kinds of speculations are rampant.

It seemed like everyone was talking about it all of a sudden.

The people in the capital city seem to be the people who love to talk about "national affairs" the most in the world, no matter what dynasty or generation, even across time and space.

Liu Muzhi and the others have nothing to do about it. After all, it is impossible to prohibit this kind of thing, and they don't even have the intention of prohibiting it at all.

In that case, it will make people on the emperor's side really feel guilty, and it will also make people feel that the emperor's actions are indeed unethical.

Otherwise, why don't you tell people?

Everyone gathered together to discuss, and finally Liu Muzhi made a decision: "Since you can't hide it, then there is no need to hide it, and there is no need to explain why His Majesty quietly left Beijing at this time.

Anyway, as long as His Majesty can come back in time, there is no need to explain. If it is really impossible to come back for a long time, then I am afraid that we can only use some last resort methods. I am afraid that explaining alone will be useless. "

Everyone nodded in agreement with his statement.

After all, the real problem in the capital now is not the emperor's presence in the capital, but the downfall of the Cui family and the emptiness of the court. All parties want to share a share of Cui's corpse.

The previous strength of the emperor obviously made everyone vigilant, and naturally they also wanted to wrestle with the emperor before the new situation was settled, so as to decide who had the final say in the future of the Great Qin.

At least continue to maintain the same detached position as in Cui's period.

For those aristocratic families, there are nothing more than these two options.

Or this world simply has the final say on the spokesmen they put out, or they are independent from the world, which is the so-called privileged neutrality.

We don't object to you, but you don't want to control us, you still have to give us the benefits that should be given to us.

Most of the time in this world, wealthy families are like this, for them this is the norm.

Only on rare occasions are they suppressed.

So for the wealthy family, the most important thing is to avoid this situation.

If this happens, then they will get up, hide in the dark and watch the ruler relax or change people.

At that time, they will immediately recover from the ashes, and then get back all the money they lost before with interest.

Even the fruits that the revolutionaries paid a huge price before will become the nutrients for them to grow again.

Both Liu Muzhi and Wang Xuance are very clear about the nature of the aristocratic family, because they have seen it more or less, and were even part of it.

"However, Mr. Xuan Ce, Lord Yu, you should pay more attention to this side, and don't let them make any fools."

Liu Muzhi immediately instructed Wang Xuance and Yuhuatian Dao.

Because Wang Xuance had already been appointed by Zhao Xin as Yushi Zhongcheng before he left.

Yushi Zhongcheng is the second official of the Yushi doctor, who is in charge of all the governors in the world, as well as the four censors, namely the embroidered clothes censor, the Zhishu censor, and the Wucao censor.

Among them, the embroidered censor actually overlaps with the Jinyiwei, because the embroidered messenger in charge of the embroidered censor is to some extent the same as the work of the Jinyiwei.

They are all supervisory officials and folk trends.

It's just that they don't directly obey the emperor's orders like the latter, they can only be regarded as Chinese and Korean officials, and in Daqin, they are obviously weakened a lot because of the existence of Jin Yiwei.

However, Wang Xuance's control of Yushitai has strengthened this functional department invisibly.

It's not that Wang Xuance specifically went to fight for power with Jin Yiwei.

And because of Xin Zhao's trust in him as a result of itself.

After all, in the era of imperial power, unless the emperor is a puppet, all power is an extension of imperial power.

Who is important and who is not, who has power and who does not, mainly depends on the emperor.

If the emperor has special trust in you, even if you are a jester, an idle job can still give power to the court.

Because your words are effective in front of the emperor, people will naturally move closer to you.

On the contrary, if the emperor doesn't trust you, you are useless as a prime minister, unless you are skilled enough to compete with the emperor.

Otherwise, the prime minister would not have received the appointment of the prime minister, but refused to accept the seal until the emperor was furious, and he had to accept it, but when he went out, he cried loudly and said to others, "I am doomed now!"

Of course, what happened later was not beyond his own expectations.

Moreover, although Wang Xuance, the censor Zhongcheng, is a deputy official, the position of censor doctor is now vacant, and everyone knows that he is actually a real and anonymous censor doctor.

This is also the reason why the emperor deliberately made this appointment before leaving.

Speaking of which, by the way, Liu Muzhi's new appointment is Sinong Shaoqing.

Kou Zhunren served as Taichang Shaoqing.

Yu Qian served as the servant Shaoqing.

All of them are Qianshi deputy officials, but what is interesting is that the positions of chief officials are all vacant.

Instead, the original Taichang Shaoqing Feng Zhong was directly appointed as Ting Wei.

Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that the emperor was leaving in a hurry, and there was no time to talk to all parties, so he directly followed the matter in a hurry.

Another reason is, of course, that the qualifications of these people around the emperor are too low.

Right now it's just a transition.

Among the crowd, only Liang Xiping was directly appointed as the captain of our Tunqi school because of his meritorious service in suppressing the rebellion, and he was in charge of the Tunqi battalion, one of the five battalions in Gyeonggi.

The other four battalions are Shesheng Battalion, Changshui Battalion, Infantry Battalion and Yueqi Battalion.

Of these four, two are currently held by people from the Xungui lineage, and the other two are held by people from the Taiwei Mansion.

But to a certain extent, Xungui is actually in the same line as the Taiwei Mansion.

Like Cao Zishuo, Cao Ziyu's brothers belong to the noble lineage, but they are also Nancang's son-in-law.

In short, although Xin Zhao has decided to reform the existing official system, he has not been sloppy in the appointment of personnel.

Even if it is a matter of urgency, they only appoint Liu Muzhi and others as deputy officials, but in the absence of chief officials, they are actually no different from chief officials.

Because it was precisely because of his arrangement that Liu Muzhi and others were still able to stabilize the court situation even if the capital knew that he was not in the capital.

Otherwise, if they are still just the emperor's Chinese servants.

At this time, the outer dynasty has already turned upside down.

It's just that this trouble still came, and to some extent it came from within them.
