Fang Huatian's lips trembled, and he wanted to say something.
Fang Zhiyi smiled: "I have committed a crime punishable by the death of nine generations of my clan. Dad, you are not going to report me, are you?"
Fang Huatian took a long time to recover: "It is impossible for the provincial governments to remain indifferent. You, you are too impatient..."
Fang Zhiyi waved his hand. "They must remain indifferent. I arranged my men before I came to the capital. I believe the five prefectures surrounding Qingping are now under their control." He straightened his clothes and said, "This is all thanks to you. Qingping County is now strong and powerful, and those prefecture officials are afraid of your name. Even if I didn't come in person, they would open the city gates to welcome my troops into the city."
Fang Huatian looked at his son in panic.
"So, it's really good to have a good father. Many things are not troublesome..." Fang Zhiyi looked at the sky, "Okay, Prime Minister, it's time to go to court."
The emperor was assassinated. Because Qi was a playboy, he had many children. Under the auspices of the old prime minister Fang Huatian, one of them was chosen to inherit the throne.
Fang Huatian was apprehensive, but as Fang Zhiyi had said, not only were the prefectures and cities below him completely silent, even the border troops were unusually quiet. Only then did he realize how much Fang Zhiyi had done under his name. Fang Huatian had to admit that this son was better than he was, and even more ruthless.
After the reign title was decided, Fang Huatian excused himself from the position of prime minister due to his advanced age.
The ministers tried their best to keep him, but Fang Huatian turned around and pushed his own son out.
Naturally, some people were unhappy. Fang Zhiyi had made some good achievements, but what merits did he have to return to become prime minister? The emperor was young, and everyone knew how much power the prime minister had.
Someone immediately brought up the matter of Fang Zhiyi's failure to rescue the emperor, and undercurrents surged in the court and the country.
But they didn't know that for the other party, engaging in court struggles was too easy for him.
He also chose the simplest method. Anyone who had any objections would die suddenly at home that night.
Among all the civil and military officials in the court, not a single one is clean. They are killed first and then tried. There is absolutely no false or wrongful conviction.
In just one month, the capital fell under Fang Zhiyi's control. The people he transferred from Qingping County also took up key positions one after another. The court officials also realized that whoever went against him would be doomed.
The voices of opposition gradually subsided, and Fang Zhiyi became the prime minister.
The policies were also announced one by one. The first was to ask all prefectures to send people to Qingping County to study, and then to replace officials at all levels. Of course, they were not dismissed remotely, but were recruited to the capital to meet the new emperor, and then detained for trial.
As the cancer was eliminated one by one, Shen Xun was asked to write the copy to announce it to the world, resulting in the current emperor being only nine years old when his fame spread among the surname Chen.
The original patrol battalion of Qingping County was also disbanded and reorganized into a border army. Under Fang Huatian's network of relationships, these people soon took the lead and began to promote Fang Zhiyi's training methods.
Faced with the bandit problem, Fang Zhiyi used the simplest method, which was to recruit them first. To be a bandit was nothing more than having a grievance or being poor. If there was a grievance, the case would be dealt with; if there was poverty, money and land would be given. Of course, those who committed serious crimes would still have to be put to death.
The Great Qi Dynasty was completely renewed, and the implementation of the new policies pushed the entire society forward significantly.
