Chapter 969: Set the world

Zhang Chang and others have been taken out. At this time, it is probably a great gift for them to commit suicide. If they can die in one go, to a certain extent, it is a great gift for them to die quickly at this time.

A rebellion has disappeared at this point.

The most ridiculous thing is that after the rebellion, the scholars outside the palace gate had already run away without a trace. However, after that, many ordinary people flocked to the inner city and eventually had to be evacuated by Shuntian Mansion.

In Luoyang Palace, everyone was busy. The eunuchs Kaizhi wiped the blood on the floor tiles. Although the blood here was permeated, I was afraid that it would be washed away in a short time, and even in the end, no trace of remains would be left.

In this earth-shaking day, at most, it was just a few words left in the historical books to allow future generations to guess.

Zhang Chang and others had been "invited" to a side hall. There were only a few feet of white silk in their hands. These people looked like ashes, looking at the world greedily, hanging the white silk on the beam one by one, and walking onto the low stool.

It didn't take long before someone opened the door in the side hall, and then an eunuch hurried to Wenlou.

Chen Kaizhi had already arrived at Wenlou, where Liu Aotian and others followed him. They knelt on the ground one by one, silent.

It was not until the eunuch quickly reached Chen Kaizhi's side and whispered a few words in Chen Kaizhi's ear that Chen Kaizhi nodded and nodded: "Well, please restrain your body and be buried."

The eunuch seemed surprised. He thought that His Majesty refused to let these rebel generals be buried. Most of the time, he hung their bodies for public display, but the eunuch did not dare to disobey, so he nodded and hurried away.

Chen Kaizhi raised his eyes and smiled: "You must be wondering if I am too generous."

Liu Aotian and others nodded in their hearts, feeling that His Majesty this time was different from before. When Chen Kaizhi went to the State Guesthouse to beat him up, he was really cruel. Not to mention when he was executing Yang Zheng.

But this time, not only did the rebel general led by Zhang Chang not only did not harm his family, but also left all the bodies, and even allowed a grand funeral. This was indeed the sun that hit the west.

Chen Kaizhi smiled, "Because in the past, I had to kill people to establish my authority, but now, there is no need. In fact... murder has always been just a means. If I have achieved my goal, why should I rely on killing to tell the people of the world my majesty? You just know these words in your heart. I just tell you, don't think I am a tiger or leopard. I am also a flesh and blood person. I never kill. Sometimes I kill people because I have my own considerations. Now... Yang thief has been eliminated, but external troubles are still there. What happened today has finally made me unscrupulous."

"In the past, I was careful in everything, why were I careful? As the Hanlins in the Hanlin Academy often said, governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh food. In fact, it is a bit unpleasant to say that the accumulated problems in the past are still there, and I dare not take drastic measures to eliminate them because I hope that the world will be stable and not cause too much opposition to the new policy. But now... I understand that the new policy must be carried out. If someone's interests are damaged, then let them sneer. I... don't care. What I want is the people who are rich and strong, and what I want is the inside and outside of the government and the outside world, and the whole court and the whole country will be completely renewed."

"You and others are all my heroes." Chen Kaizhi suddenly looked at the generals below. Although the above and below played more or less roles in suppressing the rebellion today, at least they proved their loyalty.

"But I still want the new policy and strip you of authority. Do you know why? Because today I know that the governors were separating the side, and the generals held troops and horses, so that the soldiers in the world could only see the harm of their own generals. Otherwise, with Zhang Chang and others, they would dare to rebel and deserve to rebel?"

Liu Aotian and others didn't say anything, so they naturally knew what Chen Kaizhi meant, whether to rebel or not was in the thoughts of the generals, governors, and governors. Because of this, for Your Majesty, today, Liu Aotian and others said that they could lead troops to serve the king, but who could guarantee that they would not become Zhang Chang one day? Even if Liu Aotian and others were loyal and proved, then who could guarantee that their descendants would not imitate Zhang Chang?

Liu Aotian and others felt a little disappointed.

It seems that after this rebellion, the new policy in the army will not stop, but may be accelerated. The plan to reduce the vassal states will no longer be a slow plan, but His Majesty may want to solve it once and for all.

Liu Aotian sighed and said, "Actually... I don't understand Your Majesty's thoughts, I... Oh... I have nothing to say, I will follow Your Majesty's arrangements."

Chen Kaizhi smiled and said to Liu Aotian: "You don't have to worry. If I want to make drastic moves now, it will naturally cause your interests to be damaged. But if I treat you badly, wouldn't it be a kindness and revenge? I was silent just now and had been weighing one thing, that is, how to settle you. After thinking about it, you are old nobles, so... you might as well make you new nobles. From then on, I will cut off your military power and withdraw your vassals.

But from now on, I will give you shares to make you rest assured. Not only that, I will also grant you titles, and even if necessary, I will re-entrust you with vassal territory. However, this vassal territory will not be in Dachen, but overseas. Not only that, I will establish a martial arts lecture hall dedicated to cultivating naval troops and army, and train officers. Your descendants will be allowed to enter school. After the time comes, they will naturally become military officers of the new army, and they can still make achievements in the future."

Chen Kaizhi stood up: "You may not see much benefit from the promises I have made, but if you believe in me, you will understand that these will be the foundation of your life in the future. Your future will be much brighter than the guardians of this land today."

Liu Aotian and others looked at each other. They really didn't understand many things very well, but to put it bluntly, Liu Aotian and others believed in Chen Kaizhi. It was not that they had any understanding of Chen Kaizhi's character, but because they knew that they were the heroes of suppressing the rebellion. After the heroes were awarded great merits, they were immediately taken over military power and vassal states. If the imperial court did not have special rewards, they would inevitably be criticized.

After thinking about it, Liu Aotian was still a little reluctant to leave. After all, this was the operation of several generations, and it was gone if it was gone. But now, even if it is reluctant, what can I do? He had to sigh and say with emotion: "If this is done, it will be beneficial to the court, and I will obey Your Majesty's orders, but... the old minister doesn't know what Your Majesty plans to... the new policy."

This is the issue he is quite concerned about.

Chen Kaizhi smiled: "The army and horses in the world were abolished. Except for the small number of soldiers left behind in various states, the rest of the people were all completely removed."

"..." This... is indeed courageous.

Liu Aotian and others were all dumbfounded. With a wave of their hands, it was equivalent to completely shaking their original military horses and countless officers. If it were in the past, I was afraid that the dissatisfaction in the army would intensify. However, now... the rebellion is pacified, and it seems that it is the best time to achieve this disarmament.
