In the Ancestral Temple, although Emperor Jing'an knew the specific situation well, he still pretended to ask and listened for a long time before pretending to be enlightened.
He came directly to reset and ascend the throne on the spot.
And in accordance with the wishes of the ancestors, he issued an order to bring order to the chaos.
With the will of the four former emperors, those officials and noble officials did not even stop it, but did not even question it.
Very obedient.
There are many contents in the edict, but the main body can be divided into four parts. The first is to release all officials and nobles who were wrongly accused of confiscating their homes and return them immediately.
Those who had been exiled were quickly recalled and restored to their posts. This mainly refers to Yu Shaobao and other ministers. They were the most valued during the reign of Emperor Jing'an. After Emperor Taikang's restoration, they would naturally be the first to be attacked, and if it weren't for Qu Jie's protection, , struck several people to death with lightning, it is estimated that they were not exiled, but directly beheaded.
As for those who died in the process of seizing the door.
Then there is no other way.
All we can do is give relief and provide compensation.
The specifics still need to be counted, and accurate verification will be carried out after the statistics, so for the time being, this is just the intention.
The second is to bury the deposed emperor and the deposed empress dowager. Although they have been deposed by the four ancestors and should be buried according to the standards of common people, Emperor Jing'an still said that he was magnanimous and would not argue with them. Anyway, the one chosen by Emperor Taikang was not the same. The cemetery for entering the imperial mausoleum had been dug within three days. Now that he was no longer needed for resurrection, it was just right for them, mother and son, to use first.
After Emperor Jing'an was poisoned, Emperor Taikang immediately dethroned Emperor Jing'an, destroyed his imperial mausoleum, and found a random place on the edge of the capital. It only took him three days to dig a new one. The cemetery, you can imagine how simple that cemetery is. Except that the area can meet the standards of a county king, the rest is not even as good as a wealthy businessman.
Don't be too comfortable burying Emperor Taikang and his biological mother-in-law, the Queen Mother, in the rubbish cemetery prepared for you.
The third, of course, is to deal with those traitors and traitors.
For example, Cao Jixiang's subordinates, Xu Youzhen's faction, Shi Heng and other generals, although Cao Jixiang and Xu Youzhen have been killed by lightning, their faction has not been destroyed. For example, Cao Jixiang still has many godsons, nephews, Xu Youzhen He also specially promoted many of his subordinates, and other officials and nobles who helped Emperor Taikang to restore him, and even after Emperor Taikang's restoration, they immediately followed his influence and made trouble for Yu Shaobao and others.
Naturally, all of them must be included in the liquidation scope.
However, in this regard, Emperor Jing'an specifically requested that no evidence of crime be fabricated. If there is really no crime, then forget it. After all, it is human nature to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.
The best I can do is not promote him in the future.
There is no need to frame him and kill them all, otherwise, how different would he be from the previously restored Emperor Taikang?
As for the fourth point, of course, it directly means that the four former emperors were on good terms with Emperor Zhenwu, and even his own life was resurrected by Emperor Zhenwu's Nine Turns Resurrection Pill, so he decreed that Emperor Zhenwu be the chief priest of the country. The righteous god who protects the country, and builds a Zhenwu Temple next to the Ancestral Temple. They are built all over the country, especially the largest Zhenwu Hall on Wudang Mountain.
After all, that's the legendary Zhenwu Dojo over there.
The existing Zhenwu Temple must be rebuilt, and all the statues must be changed to look like the goddess that appeared previously.
Or the same goes for enshrining white jade Xuanwu statues.
Under normal circumstances, if the previous scene did not happen, if an emperor wanted to do this, he would definitely be stopped by countless officials, and it would even be normal for him to curse the emperor. But now Emperor Zhenwu and the four former emperors have just finished their appearance. Ling, no matter how much the officials wanted to use Zi Buyu's strange power to comfort themselves, they did not dare to be too arrogant and confront him at this time, so they could only acquiesce.
No one wants to offend a divine being.
As for whether there is any problem with this god who was originally a male and now suddenly becomes a female, this is not a problem. Back then, Guanyin, who was born from his own poison, could gradually evolve from a male Bodhisattva to a female Bodhisattva. Now Emperor Zhenwu has changed. What's the big deal?
Baiguan is not so sensitive to the gender of the gods.
only let
There is only one goddess they are sensitive to and hate, and that is Our Lady of the White Lotus. After all, she started her career through rebellion, and she has persisted in rebellion from the beginning and has not changed for thousands of years.
What normal official could like that?
As these decrees were gradually issued, the next step was of course for officials to implement them respectively. Those who should be released should be released, those who should be arrested should be arrested, funds should be allocated to build temples, and those who should bury the deposed emperor and the deposed empress dowager should be released. Bury people.
Everything else went smoothly. The only difficulty encountered was the return of the officials' noble family property.
As soon as the house ransacking started, some people were already enriching their own pockets, secretly leaving some things, hiding places, etc. After the house was ransacked, none of the officials who handled the house would be greedy. It might be a little bit harsh to say that every ten of them would not be saved. It's an exaggeration, but anyway, the assets finally put into the treasury were definitely less than half of the property of the officials and nobles whose homes were confiscated!
And this is not the end. After the house is ransacked and put into the treasury, the non-gold and silver assets must be sold off. After all, land, antiques and shops cannot be used directly as money. No doubt someone will take advantage of this process. Buy fields, antiques, shops and houses at low prices.
Although the items are far from sold out now.
But a large part was also sold off.
It also involves the original royal gift, which was taken back from the inner treasury after the house was ransacked. In the process, the eunuchs who handled it were a little greedy and scrapped some. In short, there are so many bad debts that it is impossible to pay them back in full.
So that afternoon, there was a fire in the household department.
A large number of bills were burned.
Those officials and nobles who have just been released, especially those with considerable assets, obviously cannot give up their property because of the fire in the Ministry of Household Affairs. Although their warehouse accounts and the like have also been confiscated, some odds and ends are simply not available. They can't remember, but they still remember some important real estate and the amount of money in the treasury very clearly. They can give up small things, but these families have no source of income and it is impossible not to come back!
So they soon started to quarrel with Tobe.
They wanted to get their assets back, but the Ministry of Accounts said that all the accounts and so on had been burned, and they couldn't find out. I don't know if you made false reports, so they should go back and wait.
And how could those nobles agree?
This time I have to wait until the Year of the Monkey and the Horse.
Some even have their ancestral homes sold by the Ministry of Revenue. If they don’t ask for it from the Ministry of Revenue, they can’t rent an inn to live in, right?
Another moment passed.
The two sides even started fighting directly in the household department.
But when the news reached the palace and reached Emperor Jing'an's ears, Emperor Jing'an didn't care about these things at all, because he was going crazy now. An urgent report came from Huaidong County a month ago, saying that over there There was a severe drought and the people had no food and clothing. They hoped for disaster relief. At that time, he had already sent the disaster relief provisions to the Ministry of Household Affairs, asking the Ministry of Household Affairs to allocate funds for food. He just checked the specific provisions and found that the Ministry of Household Affairs had not allocated any funds at all. Food relief.
Later, several emergency reports came from Huaidong County, which even clearly stated that more than 100,000 refugees had appeared.
And occasionally people cannibalize people.
And this is the blood letter from the county guard seven days ago.
But his bastard brother still didn't care, and even pressed the discount directly without any approval.
Now he simply couldn't imagine what a miserable situation Huaidong County, which had been in emergency a month ago, was in, how many people would die, and how much public resentment would arouse.
