Chapter 611 Early Dynasty
Seven days passed by, and the capital, which had just experienced a war, seemed to have recovered very quickly. The bodies inside and outside the city had been buried, and the damaged city walls had been repaired. The burned and damaged houses and shops are now merciless and funds are allocated to rebuild. The people who were accidentally injured and killed in the war are now merciless and the imperial court is responsible for the treatment or burial of the people.
The capital was filled with voices praising the emperor today. In just seven days, the capital seemed to have returned to its previous liveliness and prosperity.
But all this cannot hide one thing, that is, the fact that Jiang Xia is angry. According to legend, there is a reverse scale under the throat of the dragon. If a person touches it, he will kill someone.
Yang Yiqing's injuries and Xue Ruqin's injuries made Jiang Xia furious. During these seven days, he did nothing, but just accompanied Xue Ruqin in the palace and occasionally went to take care of Yang Yiqing. Fortunately, although the two were injured, they finally had no worries about their lives under the treatment of Yi Cai. If one of the two had any mistakes in their lives, Jiang Xia would not be angry, but crazy...
On the eighth day, Jiangxia finally held a morning court. Since he announced his ascension to the throne, in order to reduce the recognition of his emperor's identity, he has always deliberately refused to hold an morning court. Therefore, this morning court was the first morning court since he ascended the throne, except for the time he ascended the throne.
The civil and military officials of the court also valued this first morning court very much. Every courtier deliberately waited in front of the doors on both sides and the doors, and each was dressed neatly without any negligence.
After the time came, all officials entered the Hall of Supreme Harmony. With the eunuch saying "The Emperor", Jiang Xia walked towards the dragon robe and pearl crown on his head. When his eyes swept towards all officials, many people's faces changed slightly. Because they all clearly felt that Jiang Xia had a strong sense of hostility. This sense of hostility just set off the kingly temperament of his body to the peak. If an ordinary person, I am afraid that when he looked at Jiang Xia now, his heart would be trembling.
"I'm here to meet the emperor, I wish my emperor a long life." The civil and military officials shouted long life, and they all knelt down and saluted Jiang Xia. Jiang Xia nodded slightly, then shook the hem of the dragon robe and sat back on the dragon chaise. He sat upright, with a strong sense of coldness in his eyes.
At this moment, Wang Shouren, who was standing at the top of the civil and military officials, slowly closed his eyes. He sighed in his heart and said to himself: "I'm going to suffer again."
That's right, Xue Ruqin's wounds and Yang Yiqing's wounds successfully ignited the murderous intent in Jiang Xia's heart. In his heart, everyone behind the three armies deserved to die now.
Jiang Xia raised his hands with his hands and said lightly: "All my beloveds are flat."
"Thank you, the emperor." The civil and military officials said in unison.
Jiang Xia said: "Today, I summoned all my beloved ministers to come, and there are three things I did. First, Yang Yiqing, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, was unwell and was no longer suitable to continue to serve as the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. This position is taken by Wang Renen, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue."
Wang Renen, who stood third behind Wang Shouren, was shocked. This was definitely an unexpected surprise for him. Because before this, no news about this was revealed. After all, according to the customs of the court, the promotion of officials was to prophet the Ministry of Personnel, but Jiang Xia's imperial edict was definitely a "sudden attack".
Happiness came too suddenly, and Wang Renen was not ready. After being stunned for three seconds, Wang Renen's brain reacted. He quickly walked out of the square formation and was about to salute Jiang Xia. Jiang Xia waved his hand and said, "You are dedicated and highly appreciated by the father-in-law. This is what you deserve. There is no need to thank you anymore. Let's stand in."
"Yes, I am following the order." Wang Renen bowed slightly to Jiang Xia, and then quietly retreated to the official formation of Wen. Originally, he wanted to retreat to the position where he was originally stationed, but several ministers of the six ministries all took a step back and gave him a free position, right next to Yan Luo, the Minister of Rites.
Jiang Xia continued: "The Minister of Revenue obeys the order!"
Wang Renen, who had just stood in his position, was suddenly shocked, and quickly walked forward two steps, saluted Jiang Xia and said, "My minister Wang Renen obeys the order."
Jiang Xia said: "Transfer my will and immediately let the owners of the Daming Money House withdraw back to the capital. From now on, the Daming Money House will only accept exchanges of silver and money from prefectures and counties under the rule of the court. No prefectures and counties under the rule of the court will be allocated to exchange silver."
As soon as Jiang Xia said this, everyone was shocked. After so many years of implementation in the Ming Dynasty, the holding rate of Daming Baochao may be the same as that of silver. Now Daming Money Bank no longer accepts exchanges of silver and money from those prefectures and counties under the rule of the imperial court. What does this mean?
This means that the economy will collapse instantly in places that have not surrendered to Jiangxia. The treasure money in the hands of the people will turn into waste paper, and the people will move. In those places, these migration will definitely be stopped, and everyone has basically imagined the consequences of the future.
The Ming Dynasty treasure banknote, this Jiangxia's killing weapon, was finally sacrificed.
Letting Wang Renen be the Minister of Revenue is the first thing to do. It is the second thing to no longer exchange the rebellious prefectures and counties for the Daming treasure banknotes. So what is the third thing?
Waiting for Wang Renen to say: "After the order is followed."
All civil and military officials looked at Jiang Xia, hoping to see what the third thing Jiang Xia was going to talk about next.
At this time, Jiang Xia turned his head and looked at a eunuch with his servant beside him. The eunuch with his servant immediately took out a roll of yellow satin from a brocade box, and walked up to the square platform with both hands holding yellow satin, kneeling down and giving yellow satin to Jiang Xia with both hands.
After Jiang Xia took Huang Duan, he raised it slightly and said to everyone: "This is my letter to the people of the world. I hope that all my beloved ministers can quickly announce it to the world. In addition, Wang Shouren, the Minister of War, passed on my will and the three armies actively rest and prepare. In one month, I will lead the imperial army to personally fight!"
The imperial commander personally? Everyone was shocked again. Everyone looked at Wang Shouren, hoping that he could persuade Jiang Xia. After all, the capital had just experienced a great war and the imperial commander personally was in a situation of empty troops again?
Wang Shouren was calm and asked, after bowing to Jiang Xia, he asked, "Your Majesty, what is the number of troops you want to lead when the imperial guards go on the expedition?"
"Ten thousand cavalry and eight thousand infantry are enough." Jiang Xia said lightly.
"Ten thousand cavalry? 8 thousand infantry?" Wang Shouren was also stunned. If it weren't for the court meeting at this time, he would even think that Jiang Xia was joking with him.
"I dare to ask the emperor, where are you going to be the emperor's personal expedition?" Wang Shouren asked. In fact, he knew that Jiang Xia must be planning to attack Nanjing, but with such a little force, it would be okay to attack Nanjing. Isn't it a joke?
Who knew that Jiang Xia answered very simply: "Of course it is to clear out the rebellion of Nanjing!"
