Chapter 243: Amazing means
Wang Pu and Wei Renpu entered the Jinxiang Hall area from the side door inside the imperial city. When they arrived at the square, they saw several prime ministers wearing purple robes walking towards the palace gate opposite the opposite palace.
A group of people walked towards the front of Jinxiang Hall in the square. The middle was very empty, with a large area of black armor on both sides, and a cherry gun on both sides like a forest. Thousands of troops and horses were arranged in a clean formation in front of the hall. Such a scene was a grand scene that could only be seen before the emperor personally fought.
"Dong, dong, dong..." The rhythmic drum sounded, and the loud and powerful bells and drums were played, and everything was in order. The ministers couldn't help but look at each other, and they didn't look like the chaos of mutiny at all, but like they were going to court, and everything was as usual in the Jinxiang Hall.
Wang Pu narrowed his eyes and looked at the troops on both sides, observing the situation in the hall with great interest without saying a word. Obviously, the Queen and Guo Shao performed very well in the layout of the military and political system.
At this time, Guo Shao rode over from a distance and arrived at the middle square. He turned over and got off the horse and walked towards the group of people who had just walked under the steps. Everyone couldn't help but stop, and his eyes were completely different from before.
Unexpectedly, Guo Shao looked humble, clasped his fists and shook them up and down, as if he was shaking dice, and said kindly: "The last general met with the Duke. The soldiers came in according to the order of the queen, and the last general only acted according to the order."
"Ha, General Guo..." Everyone started to greet each other, and the atmosphere was not as serious as before.
Li Gu touched his hands and said, "General Guo is really the empress's humerus, and he is a capable general."
"Now the emperor is seriously ill, he issued an order to supervise the empress. The empress is the mother of the fourth prince. It is just right. At this moment, the emperor dares not obey?" Guo Shao said seriously, "It depends entirely on the empress's proper operation, and the emperor only implements it. The empress's supervise the state, and in the future, the empress will rely on the ministers to assist the state affairs. Please!"
"Please, General Guo." Wang Pu said.
Guo Shao politely refused. When everyone saw that he was polite, they continued to go up the stairs according to their grade level.
Walking outside the hall gate, a group of eunuchs guarded there as usual, searching up and down one after another, and letting them go if they confirm that there were no weapons. Everyone had been accustomed to this rule for a long time. They raised their arms in a good manner and asked the eunuchs to slap them from top to bottom, just to act. Everyone was a civil servant who studied and governed the country. What weapons were useless to bring? Guo Shao also directly removed the sword and handed it to the eunuchs, and was searched.
When everyone walked into the hall, they suddenly saw a beautiful and noble woman sitting with a child on the throne that was originally the emperor. They felt something was wrong, and after careful consideration, they thought it was quite right. The queen was the emperor's wife, and it was nothing to sit on the dragon throne; especially a few years ago, the queen was often sitting on the high position next to the dragon throne.
Everyone looked at each other and knelt down and shouted, "I'm going to kowtow to the Queen."
"Flat." Fu Jinzhan's voice sounded very nice. If she often sat down in court in the future, perhaps going to court would be a pleasure for everyone.
Then the eunuch Yang Shiliang stepped forward and read the "Imperial Imperial Imperial" in front of the army. The words were very small, but the key content in the three aspects was concise and concise. The main content was: the emperor only knew that he could not manage the government and issued an order to supervise the country. When the queen heard the secret report, there was a possibility of turmoil. He asked for the order to dispatch troops. Guo Shao's troops came to the palace according to the order.
All ministers knew that the eunuch Yang Shiliang was the closest servant in front of the emperor. He issued an order in front of the emperor two days ago... Now he is reciting the imperial edict again. The people present are no more than the martial arts men who are illiterate. Everyone knows that they use their brains, and when they see this situation, they naturally feel that there are many possibilities; but there is no need to question Yang Shiliang's imperial edict.
After the eunuch finished reciting, Fu Jinzhan immediately spoke again: "The official family is resting. At this time, so many people saw him, afraid that it would be disturbed, which would be unfavorable to his condition. Moreover, the army was transferred to the imperial city today, and the situation was rushed. In order to stabilize the capital as soon as possible, we should first take major events as the key. Once the major events are calmed down, the ministers can immediately see the emperor. This morning, the official family agreed to discuss the appointment of the crown prince, and this matter still requires the participation of the ministers."
Fu Jinzhan's nervousness was still not calm. After all, there were about 100,000 imperial guards outside the imperial city, and there were tens of thousands of people stationed in the military camp. But the most critical moment had passed, and now she could at least control her performance.
Although she was not so calm inside, she acted quite calmly. Her voice was soothing, beautiful, rhythmic, and she was not panicked at all. Fu Jinzhan was indeed a woman who could suppress the scene. She admired her when Taizu was alive several years ago.
Guo Shao took the lead in echoing: "I am obeying my decree." Everyone hurriedly said: "I am obeying my decree."
So far, everything has been orderly, and measures have been taken step by step. Fu Jinzhan was very satisfied with this, but he did not dare to delay at all. He immediately said: "In addition to the imperial edict I just read, I have also drafted a royal edict, and the ministers will see if it is appropriate. If it is appropriate, can the Privy Council issue some military orders to the Palace Front Office, the Guard Office and the soldiers of the army accordingly?"
"Imperial Order." The eunuch Cao Tai stepped forward and unfolded a delicate silk with yellow base, and recited, "Now the generals are dedicated to their defense and strictly follow the military orders of the Privy Councilor. Without obtaining the imperial edict and military order, they will not move a soldier. They are loyal and commendable. They agreed with the ministers and planned to reward the promotion, and the national treasury to reward the soldiers of the imperial army. Zhang Yongde was appointed as the chief inspector of the front palace and was promoted to Shi Yanchao as the deputy commander of the front palace, promoted Yuan Yan, the chief guard of the front palace... (a large number of names and military positions, and was promoted to the first-class military general).
Li Chongjin was the chief inspector of the Central Secretariat, Huainan Jiedu, Han Tong was the commander of the guards, Guo Shao was the deputy commander of the guards, Gao Huaide was the commander of the guards, Yuhou of the guards, Chai Gui was the commander of the commander of the infantry and military commander, Zhang Lingduo Jianjie was the commander of the Wuxin Army... (Another string of names and military positions)."
Everyone listened attentively.
Perhaps others would think Fu Jinzhan had planned and prepared, but Guo Shao knew that she was trapped in Jinxiang Hall half an hour ago and could not even see people outside. But now, she rewarded and promoted a large number of generals in one breath, which could only be completed in a short time just now. Perhaps she was a little inadequate, but the scope of the reward was very comprehensive. In desperation, she could immediately carry out favors to all the imperial guards!
This method, memory, and mind, was also very shocked. What could she find in Jinxiang Palace in a hurry? These military positions and names were all remembered by her memory!
Guo Shao could not remember the specific military positions and names behind him. He had never even heard of some commanders and deputy commanders at the military level, especially many of the people in the Palace Front Office, but the senior generals knew about it.
However, Guo Shao was not good at remembering too many names, but was good at analyzing clues. He immediately heard three key points from this imperial edict: First, he was only kind to the imperial generals in Beijing, and the military generals in the outer town were not mentioned; except for Li Chongjin who was directly removed from the imperial edict and was given a large official position as the Secretary of the Central Secretariat. Of course, the actual position of the Jiedushi was still there (as soon as he "gives the virtuous", all the generals of the Guard Division can be promoted to one level).
Second, senior generals are promoted to military positions; middle and senior officials are established (although most of the Jiedu governors are far away, they are still the most concerned and talked about by the generals); middle and low officials are also recruited as group training envoys, defense envoys, governors, and status and salary are added in disguise. Rewards are all real and very tempting content.
Third, Zhao Kuangyin and his most confidant generals did not mention it. It must have been intentional and it was impossible for them to be missed.
Guo Shao thinks this trick is very clever!
He believed that Fu Jinzhan's approach at this time was simply the only, the most direct and simplest first move to stabilize the imperial guards. The foreseeable effect was obvious: all the generals and soldiers of the imperial guards could be promoted as long as they remained in the army and could get money, which was safe and profitable; and if they raised an accomplice, they would be punished by the crime of rebellion and destruction. They would not know what benefits they could get (anyway, there were very few people who had a little chance to be emperor, not something that everyone could think of). How to choose? Where to go? Isn't it clear at a glance? Especially the soldiers at the bottom were not used to thinking too much, and the benefits in front of them were real and most direct.
The queen just took action and it was a stunning move!
Guo Shao couldn't help but want to make a thumbs up. It was probably because Wang Pu and Wei Renpu and others were also shocked by the queen's surprise method and their hearts kept rolling.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, Fan Zhi suddenly bowed and said, "I have made any suggestions."
"Please speak frankly by Mr. Fan." Fu Jinzhan said slowly.
Fan Zhi said, "I think Zhao Kuangyin, Shi Shouxin and others should also join the rewards, which will strengthen people's hearts."
Fu Jinzhan immediately frowned slightly when she heard this.
Guo Shao couldn't help but glance at him and thought to himself: Are you a good person? Or did you join Zhao Kuangyin?
Of course, if you commend Zhao Kuangyin now, you can comfort him for a moment of fear (although the effect is not great, and Zhao Kuangyin is not stupid, will he believe you this), but it will also make the court lose the righteousness of directly destroying him... The court has commended him, so why can it be quickly changed the orders and listed the charges?
All the imperial guards were rewarded, just ignoring them. The momentum was indeed a bit arrogant, and it was easier to force them to break the fate. But long pain was better than short pain! Guo Shao hoped Fu Jinzhan would not be fooled by Fan Zhi, so just make it better. Zhao Kuangyin wanted to do it, so fight now!
After the imperial edict, imperial edict, and the order of the Privy Council, Guo Shao judged that most of the imperial guards would be good at it; he believed that the Iron Cavalry Army had been rewarded and many people probably had no determination to fight desperately, because it was too risky to attack the imperial city, and the imperial city was the place where power was accumulated.
Guo Shao can then legally mobilize through the Privy Council, and the troops that were rested and recuperated in the left wing of the Hujie Army may be summoned within one or two days. Gao Huaide's Hujie Army's right wing can also be mobilized and used... As long as Gao Huaide has a little brain, he will definitely try every means to make some real contributions in this situation. Now that he uses the Privy Councilor's military order to mobilize him, he will definitely think that he is a trusted member under the new military and political structure, so don't be too happy.
In case of great pressure, those troops that remain unmoved can mobilize some to assist in the war in a open manner.
So, now Guo Shao is not afraid of Zhao Kuangyin being tough. If you want to do it, just do it! It depends on how you are beaten up by a group.
As expected, Fu Jinzhan suddenly said, "No! The minister can speak frankly, but it is better to say something useful!"
When Guo Shao heard this, he almost laughed out loud! He was a little surprised by Fu Jinzhan's way of refusing... Suddenly, he felt that Fu Jinzhan was also cute when he was unhappy, and he was very straightforward with a little temper.

Chapter completed!
