Chapter 268 Funeral

Hearing the words "Yilu District" the civil and military officials of the previous dynasty were immediately lost, fearing and trembling, and some people were even lying on the ground. They were afraid that Ying Yi would push them out of the Meridian Gate and cut off their heads with just one word.

In the previous dynasty, the civil and military officials were noble, and at least 90% of them. I dare to say that I have never been corrupt and abused the law? It’s just that there are more greedy and less, and there are more corruption and more corruption.

Among them, there are many people who are the ones who are in trouble.

Although the Jinyiwei was in decline, his hearing and hearing were still in the basic capital. The civil and military officials of the Ming court, who did what, how much money they had greedy, how much life they had killed, were mostly recorded. In the past, they were unable to deal with the evidence of guilt, but now they all fell into Ying Yi's hands.

Of course, there is also Tsinghua in the mud. A few people with outstanding virtues and those with good abilities have also recorded them.

On the table table next to Ying Yi, there were a large stack of such documents. If you really had to read them carefully, you might not be able to do it without spending three or five days.

His eyes drooped down at the steps, looked at the former minister with a dangerous expression, and said lightly: "Precautions are made, let's talk about it after the imperial decree is here."

As soon as these words were spoken, many people secretly breathed a sigh of relief in court.

"It is not a long-term plan for the capital to be in charge of military control." Ying Yi turned around and said, "When Zheng Yunzhi and Sun Wen arrive in the capital, we will sort out the details. Mr. Yan is the one who is in charge of the Xia Palace and temporarily serves as the royal palace to stabilize the order of the capital."

"Respect the Lord's order!"

Yan Ermei slowly retreated.

At the beginning, Ying Yi was busy for several months before he could sort out the matters. The capital was much more complicated than Kaifeng. Now Ying Yi can’t even find a few available civil servants here, so he can only wait until Zheng Yunzhi and Sun Xiucai arrive and then slowly deal with the details.

As for the rough framework, fortunately, there is a Yan Ermei who can help.

Then Ying Yi's eyes fell on the four lieutenants, including Zhu Bingkun and Zheng Wu, and said, "Zheng Wu was in charge of the defense of the capital, Qian Yue was the auxiliary. Zhu Bingkun was in charge of the reorganization of prisoners, eliminated the old and weak, and Zheng Jiu was the auxiliary. Tian Hong was in charge of the security of the capital, and Wang Yisheng was in charge of the imperial palace. All matters must not be neglected."

"Here!"

Finally, Ying Yi said: "All the ministers of the previous dynasty returned home, and without the order of my king, they were not allowed to leave the capital. They sat at home and were ready to be dispatched at any time. Mr. Yan prepared an edict to inform the four directions to clearly indicate the destruction. He ordered officials of the four prefectures and generals of the garrison to come to the capital to surrender. Now it is April. If there is no movement between July and March, the consequences will be borne by one."

After saying that, Ying Yi stood up and said, "Scatter the court."

...

The martial law in the capital was lifted, and the people were finally able to move around freely. So they came and went, and gradually became more prosperous.

Outside Yongding Gate, the announcement office.

Many vendors and people gathered together, bustling and crowded.

Under the notice, a literate scholar was reading a notice that was three feet square.

"...The previous dynasty Emperor Chongzhen issued an order to abdicate... There was a Yingshiyi who was the leader of the Xia Dynasty, and took Ming to replace it, opened the palace and established a court to promote the title of king, and said 'Xia', which was the King of Xia..."

"King Xia..." Someone said in a daze: "The Ming Dynasty is gone like this..."

Many people sighed, not knowing how complicated it was. But in the past few days, the situation in the capital has long been predicted, and they have cried and mourned, and they can only accept reality.

At this moment, another Jinyiwei arrived with a notice and posted seven or eight Fangzhi in a row. After the Jinyiwei left, the crowd gathered up again.

"This is a notice to recruit officials from the royal palace." A scholar said: "The royal palace is engaged in the order of Yan Ermei to respect King Xia, and recruit officials, and those with both moral integrity and ability are excellent."

"This is also a recruitment notice. Hey, the recruitment is a craftsman. Those with outstanding craftsmanship, whether blacksmiths, carpenters, or bricklayers, can all enter the palace to apply for the recruitment... Oh, there is also a salary, and the monthly payment is 300 new coins." A scholar looked at it strangely and said, "What is the saying of new coins?"

A businessman said, "This boyfriend doesn't know that Henan sold new coins as early as the beginning of the year to replace the old coins. This is the new coins." As he said that, he took out a handful of golden coins from his cuffs, which was particularly eye-catching.

The merchant traveled around the world and did business in Henan, so he naturally knew it, saying: "The new coins of King Xia are more valuable than copper coins and silver in the past. Both skin and material are unusual and indestructible. Merchants like us like the most. In Henan, the new coins are exchanged for one or two taels of silver, but on the market, one hundred coins can be used as one or five coins."

"A monthly salary of three hundred coins is worth four or five coins!"

"That's the reason."

"That's a good job." Someone was moved: "We craftsmen have no support. If we can have a monthly salary of 300 yuan, it would be no problem to support our family."

There should be notices at the city gate and at the intersections of each street. In addition to promoting the destruction of the Ming Dynasty and the advance of the Xia King, there were also incidents of the Eastern Gate being defeated and building the capital. As well as related recruiting officials and craftsmen, there were also those who promoted various laws, and planned to erect steles near the Temple of Heaven, and engraved laws on them.

In addition, the Xia Palace was engaged in matters such as Yan Ermei convened major merchants in the capital, established chambers of commerce, stabilized prices, declared tax laws, new coins, etc.

He started to make a good start here, and when Zheng Yunzhi, Sun Xiucai and others arrived, he could start the details.

As for Ying Yi himself, in addition to guiding the direction, all the specific affairs were handed over to Yan Ermei and others for handling. He focused more on military reorganization.

As for the palace, except for military control, everything was the same. Ying Yi did not do anything that was inconsistent with etiquette and maintained a certain respect for Emperor Chongzhen.

Qianqing Palace, where Ying Yi works.

Tian Hong stood up when he met.

"How many are this?"

He said lightly.

Tian Hongyu said, "Go back to you, after Ni Yuanlu, Fan Jingwen, Li Banghua and Shi Yaobang, Ling Yiqu is the fifth person."

"The fifth one..." Ying Yi sighed a little: "The Ming court has raised scholars for three hundred years, but there are still people who live and die together."

After a pause, he opened a silk book with a few lines of words written in blood. This was Ni Yuanlu's desperate book.

Like him, the others also kept a letter of death. They all asked King Xia to treat the royal family of the previous dynasty well and the people well.

As the saying goes, birds are about to die and their singing are sad, and people are about to die and their sayings are good. They can't accept the fall of the Ming court, and they follow the Ming Dynasty and go to the Yellow Spring.

These people may be corrupt and abused, but at the last moment, they can finally preserve a trace of dignity and some of their character, in Ying Yi's opinion, are already extremely rare.

"Forget it."

Ying Yi sighed: "You go on your behalf to make some comfort. It is good to be able to say something back. Finally, you have to do your best. Those who sacrificed their wise will be generous and will give more preferential treatment to their family and descendants. After Zheng Yunzhi and others arrive, they will deal with it in detail."

Tian Hongyu bowed and said, "Respect the Lord and the Lord."

"Go."

Ying Yi waved his hand and waved Tian Hongyu back.

There was only one person in the Ganqing Palace. Ying Yi stroked these desperate books and was quite moved for a moment. When the Song Dynasty was destroyed, 100,000 people went to the sea to die. When the Ming Dynasty was destroyed, there were also mourners. Although the world was reincarnated and people's hearts were not the same in the chaotic world, there were always some people who could guard their own bones.

No matter how they usually look, these people shine at this moment.
