At night, Yun Zheng originally wanted to teach Miaoyin a lesson in Yuan Fu's bedroom.
Unfortunately, people came to him from time to time to report various matters.
In desperation, he had to put the matter of teaching Miaoyin a lesson on hold for the time being.
When it was almost dawn, Dugu Ce came over.
All the fires in the city were extinguished, and they had completely taken over the city defense. Most of the surrendered soldiers had their weapons and armor confiscated and were being put under centralized guard.
They also interrogated some surrendered palace guards and found out the whole process of killing Yuan Fu.
The greatest credit for killing Yuan Fu belongs to Ji Miao, Yao Cuo and Sha Zhun.
Yaocuo and Shazhu first suffocated Yuan Fu to death while he was sleeping, and then Yaocuo falsely conveyed Yuan Fu's order to transfer more than half of the palace guards to capture Tian Tong who was guarding the city, and arranged for Ji Miao's confidant to replace Tian Tong.
Afterwards, he summoned court officials to discuss matters in the name of Yuan Fu, and took the opportunity to execute those officials who disagreed to surrender.
However, those officials did not submit to being killed, but instead rose up in resistance.
...
...
Then riots broke out in the city.
Fortunately, Ji Miao and others made arrangements in advance and laid the foundation for victory.
Ji Miao was mainly responsible for planning and planning this matter, while Yao Cuo and Sha Zhu were responsible for its execution.
However, Sha Zhu was killed in the chaos by palace guards loyal to Yuan Fu.
Upon learning what had happened, Yun Zheng couldn't help but smile.
I didn’t expect that Ji Miao is such a talented person.
The plan was good, but it wasn't thorough enough.
If the plan had been more careful, there would have been no unrest in the city.
However, time is limited, and it is good enough that they can plan to this extent.
After listening to Dugu Ce's report, Yun Zheng asked again: "How long will it take to sort out the affairs in the city?"
"I'm afraid it will take at least two or three days!"
Dugu Ce said with a headache: "We have only initially quelled the riots, and there are still many things to come."
"We can't wait that long!"
Yun Zheng shook his head and immediately ordered: "Early tomorrow morning, order people to post notices to reassure the people in the city! In addition, many things can be handed over to those treacherous officials who have surrendered, including the subsequent recruitment, and the treacherous officials will be the first to do it."
What they need to do is to screen out those treacherous officials.
People like Ji Miao can be reused.
"Your Highness, this is inappropriate, isn't it?"
Dugu Ce frowned, "We have just captured Qiuchi, and now is the time to appease the people. If we let these treacherous officials take power, I am afraid it will cause a lot of civil unrest!"
"It depends on how you arrange it."
Yun Zheng smiled and said, "You have to believe that these people will definitely be more ruthless towards their own people than ours! When the time is right, we can deal with them and win over the people's hearts..."
This is the same reason why he used those people who bought official positions to win the hearts of the people of Beihuan.
Let them do whatever they want first!
The bad guys, leave it to those people.
Good guys, leave it to their own people.
However, Dugu Ce needs to strike a balance.
We cannot wait until public grievances have erupted completely before dealing with those people, as that will cause a lot of trouble.
Those people must be dealt with before public discontent erupts completely.
Then, they go back to being good people.
Only with comparison can the people know who is good and who is bad.
Gradually they submitted.
This is a long process and it certainly cannot be solved overnight.
The reason why they are employing these treacherous villains now is because they are eager to please them and will definitely work hard.
These treacherous villains are more familiar with the situation in Qiuchi than they are, and their efficiency in doing things is definitely higher than theirs.
However, military power must be firmly in the hands of their own people.
Listening to Yun Zheng's eloquent speech, Dugu Ce's eyes suddenly lit up, "Your Highness is a man of great talent. I admire you!"
"Stop flattering me."
Yun Zheng shook his head and smiled, then ordered: "Later, ask each department to do a simple statistics to see how many soldiers are not married and have a family. Those who stay to stabilize the situation should be mainly those who have not started a family..."
These people can marry the women of Qiuchi, which will not only solve the major life issues of those soldiers, but also accelerate national integration.
Another point is that the soldiers who stay behind must have their families in Shuobei, where they should at least have parents or brothers and sisters. They cannot be alone.
There is nothing they can do about it, after all, they are marrying women from other countries whose countries they have destroyed.
They had to make these soldiers be cautious and not let them be fooled by the advice of their superiors.
However, Yun Zheng still follows the old rules.
It’s okay to start a family and build a career.
If you want to marry, you must do it in a formal way. It is strictly forbidden for anyone to have any affair with someone else.
Anyone who dares to do it will be beheaded no matter who he is or how great his contribution is.
Conquering this land is just the first step.
Only by governing this land well and making it stable can we truly expand our territory.
Yun Zheng even planned to ask Emperor Wen to send some capable officials over.
He had no shortage of people to fight, but he really lacked people to govern the place.
The two chatted for a long time until the guards outside reported that all the officials of Qiuchi were already waiting in the hall. Yun Zheng then took Dugu Ce to the hall.
Although they are called hundreds of officials, in fact there are only more than thirty officials.
These people didn't know how Yun Zheng planned to deal with them, and everyone's face was filled with anxiety.
Yun Zheng walked up to the throne and sat down. He looked around and asked Ji Miao, "Have all the officials in the court arrived?"
“Most of them have arrived.”
Ji Miao quickly replied respectfully: "There are still a few people who are unwilling to come. I have already drawn up a list. Please review it, Your Majesty."
As he spoke, Ji Miao took out the list and held it up respectfully.
Yun Zheng saw it all and felt secretly moved.
Look, how good at doing things!
Even the list is ready!
To stabilize Qiuchi, talents like Ji Miao are needed in the early stages.
Miaoyin took the list from Ji Miao and handed it to Yun Zheng.
Yun Zheng just took a quick glance and put the list away.
“You’re great!”
Yun Zheng looked at Ji Miao with approval, and said, "From now on, there will be no more Qiuchi in the world, only the Northwest Protectorate that I have built! Now, I appoint Dugu Ce as the Grand Protector of the Northwest Protectorate..."
Next, Yun Zheng began to announce personnel appointments.
In addition to the Grand Protector-General, Feng Yu and Zuo Ren were also appointed as Deputy Protector-Generals.
Zuo Ren will also serve as the commander of Tianqiong Pass, and he will send someone to inform Zuo Ren later.
Ji Miao was the chief secretary and Yao Cuo was the recorder and military officer.
As for the rest of the officials, Ji Miao and Yao Cuo were responsible for recommending them, and Dugu Ce was responsible for confirming them.
After all the personnel were confirmed, he reported them to the court, which granted them official uniforms, seals, etc.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Ji Miao took the lead and knelt down to express his gratitude.
At this moment, Ji Miao was very happy.
Although he only got the position of Chief Secretary, his son-in-law was the Deputy Protector General!
Moreover, he and Yao Cuo were responsible for recommending the remaining officials.
In this case, how could the Northwest Protectorate be without his people?
Although Qiuchi was destroyed, his Ji family still stands!
Afterwards, Yun Zheng briefly painted some big plans for everyone, then took Feng Yu to the army and left the rest of the matters to Dugu Ce.
"You, father-in-law, you better watch out!"
After leaving the hall, Yun Zheng immediately told Feng Yu: "I will take him down sooner or later! But whether he can survive depends on whether you can keep an eye on him and prevent him from crossing my bottom line!"
"I understand!"
Feng Yu nodded heavily...
