After half a month of updates, Qi Zhengqing and Ji Qingyi have already established a firm foothold in the court.
At the beginning, when Qi Zhengqing had just ascended the throne, it was inevitable that some people in the court thought that Qi Zhengqing did not understand court affairs, or was muddling through things, or was committing crimes.
However, they soon discovered.
This Prince Ding is a more powerful figure than the emperor.
He was very clear about the forces in the court, who could be used and who could not be used, and which minister should be controlled by which method, whether it was tough or interceding. In short, he had a clear grasp of many officials.
In addition, he also established a new agency - the "Imperial Envoy".
These imperial envoys are extraordinary. They are very good at disguise, and are professional at gathering intelligence, confiscating property and exterminating families.
It is possible that one of them has sneaked into the residence of an official. If they catch him, he will be beheaded.
After many cases of corruption and bribery among officials were exposed, the imperial messengers were given a new name, "Messengers of the Underworld."
Just telling them their names is enough to stop a child from crying at night.
Up to this point, there were very few people in the court who dared to commit crimes.
Qi Zhengqing was strict with officials but very tolerant with the people.
After all, according to Master Yu, his people played a large role in his good fortune.
After Qi Zhengqing came to power, he reduced taxes, developed water conservancy projects, and enacted new laws to protect the rights and interests of the people.
The historian recorded that Qi Zhengqing personally went to the fields during the autumn harvest and sighed: "The people are the most important, the country is second, and the emperor is the least important."
Because of his series of policies, both the common people and the officials had to admit that Qi Zhengqing was a truly wise ruler.
However, there are also some puzzling aspects about this wise ruler.
He insisted on disbanding the harem and marrying the concubine as queen.
＜In the Jinluan Palace, the Minister of Rites looked at Qi Zhengqing with great sorrow and admonished: "Your Majesty, the Imperial Concubine is the concubine of the late Emperor. If you want to marry the Imperial Concubine, I am afraid it will damage the reputation of the royal family!"
"Damn the late emperor's concubine!" Qi Zhengqing, who had been tolerating these officials since he ascended the throne, exploded.
He glared at the Minister of Rites like an angry lion.
His voice was so loud that it seemed as if he was making a statement.
"When I was Prince Ding, Qing Yi was my princess consort!"
"She has always been mine!"
"Since you value the royal family's reputation so much, why didn't you say anything when the late emperor stole my princess?"
The Minister of Rites was speechless.
Could he say that the previous emperor was tyrannical and that he would lose his head if he dared to speak?
As for the current emperor, he will show leniency as long as the case does not involve any principled mistakes.
However, Qi Zhengqing has royal blood after all, and his stubbornness is exactly the same as that of the late emperor.
No matter how these officials advised, his harem was decided, and the queen was also decided! >
Qi Zhengqing's domineering attitude makes readers' eyes light up.
[That's how it should be. If a man can't even decide his own marriage, then what's the point of being an emperor? ]
[These officials bully the weak and fear the strong. It seems that Xiao Qi's knife is not sharp enough. ]
[Great! Qing Yi will soon become the queen! ]
Some people also paid attention to a sentence written by Song Wenlan, "The people are the most important, the country is second, and the king is the least important."
This sentence seemed to reveal a philosophy, and soon, Blue Star Central College launched a special online course on this sentence.
