Mao Xiang's reputation, coupled with the emperor's default on not continuing to pursue the Hangzhou Prefecture case.

The forces without leaders stopped themselves and surrendered to Mao Xiang in order to obtain shelter.

Mao Xiang's influence and appeal have been improved unprecedentedly.

Mao Xiang's implementation of the emperor's strategic thoughts reached the point of obeying orders.

As a result, the emperor's overall control over the cabinet and the military cabinet was stabilized, and the government and the country quickly formed a rope.

From then on, the Han and Ming dynasties entered the road of rapid development where war and internal affairs coexisted.

....

The golden autumn of the first year of Han Ming.

The court moved to Zhongjing.

This set a precedent for a country where there are no walls in Kyoto.

The State-owned Assets Corporation rented 40,000 acres of land to domestic merchants and civilians at a fair price, and rented the remaining more than 20,000 acres of land to foreign merchants at a high price. This move greatly increased the prestige of the imperial court among the people.

In the early winter of the first year of Hanming.

Chen Sheng, Qian Qiaogong, and Chen Zhiyuan had a total of 47,000 troops, and the troops arrived at the capital of Shengjing of Qing Dynasty.

After more than two months of fierce fighting and siege, the Qing court chose to surrender.

More than a thousand Qing ministers including the Empress Dowager Bumubutai, Emperor Fulin of the Qing Dynasty, Fan Wencheng, Hong Chengchou and more than a thousand Qing ministers were detained. The following month, they were ordered to be escorted to Zhongjing from the Grand Canal.

The Qing Dynasty perished!

The Han Ming Dynasty took over all the land and population outside the Qing Dynasty, restored the Nuergan Command Commander Office, and established a system of military and political integration, restored the garrisons of the 27 guards including Wuhewei, Buludan Guard, Fushan Guard, and Onan Hewei. Duke Ying Guo Gao Yigong and Duke Wan Liu Tiren were appointed as the commander commander of the Nuergan and the deputy commander commander, and were sent to the Jibei Nuergan Commander. The entire Nuergan Commander Office had a total of 27 guards and garrisons of 51,000 troops to cooperate with Chen Sheng, Qian Qiaogong, and Chen Zhiyuan to pacify the rebellion and resistance of various tribes in the north.

At the same time, the two post roads in Qianming, east and west were reopened to ensure the delivery of documents and the transportation of tribute, food and wages.

In the second year of Hanming, January.

More than a thousand Qing ministers including the Empress Dowager Bumubutai, the Emperor Fulin of the Qing Dynasty, Fan Wencheng, Hong Chengchou and more than a thousand Qing ministers were escorted to Zhongjing.

A grand prisoner offering ceremony was held in the city.

Fireworks and salutes were ringing in the city, and subjects sang and danced to celebrate the victory that took ten years.

But from the next day, public opinion began to ferment, and tens of thousands of people advised the court to execute the Tartars monarchs and ministers and kill traitors in front of the imperial palace!

As more and more people gathered in the imperial city, Mao Xiang was helpless, so he had to go to the palace to ask the emperor for advice.

....

The overall pattern of Zhongjing is basically the same as that of Yingtian Prefecture.

It’s not that the emperor is too lazy to make changes, but that the emperor does like to make a round sky and a scattered layout.

The entire Zhongjing was built with towering walls in the imperial city, which was the result of Mao Xiang leading the court officials to repeatedly advise.

There is also Ganqing Palace in the palace city, and there is also Ganqing Lake in the Ganqing Palace, which is dug.

The Ganqing Pond is very large and covers a 100-acre area.

The emperor was fishing. In this way, the emperor came to fish every day, and there were fish in the pond and they were raised.

More than a dozen eunuchs who served behind the emperor were always very surprised. The emperor caught fish every day, but he always released them back.

This cycle repeats itself.

But they dared not ask, for fear of annoying the emperor as soon as they asked. Although this emperor is not like the previous emperor, the emperor is approachable, but he is moody.

For example, the emperor did not allow the eunuchs in the palace to kneel down, which made the eunuchs in the palace and the palace maids were really worried for a long time, but later they realized that they really didn't have to kneel down.

For example, when the emperor allowed external ministers to enter the inner palace, everyone couldn't figure out whether this internal palace could allow external ministers to enter? You have to know that there is a difference between men and women.

For example, the emperor rarely preached food, and the emperor liked to do it himself, and the imperial kitchen in the palace almost became unemployed.

However, today seems a little different.

As the eunuch came to report, the chief assistant came forward and saw that the emperor was just holding the pole and a green carp.

The emperor did not release the animals again, but instead ordered "Send them to the kitchen!"

....

"Pijiang, you came just in time... I caught a big fish. Today, you have a good time!"

Wu Zheng's hearty laughter made Mao Xiang smile bitterly.

How great a blessing does the emperor treat a guest?

Unfortunately, the emperor does not pass on food and wants to cook by himself. Isn’t this not doing his job?

But Mao Pi advised him many times but the emperor refused to listen. Mao Xiang could only pretend that he hadn't seen it. He couldn't annoy the emperor for this matter, right?

But the emperor's cooking skills are really not very good. It's not that he can't praise him, but that he can't even get started.

According to the emperor's own explanation, it was too much of a cause, and the heat was difficult to control... Look at what he said, who did not roll his eyes behind his back and blame the emperor for robbing their jobs?

"Your Majesty, I am here to report the matter... My family has already prepared it, so I won't bother Your Majesty!" Mao Xiang said with a smile.

"Tsk...!" Wu Zheng pointed at Mao Xiang angrily and said, "Mao Pijiang, I know you dislike my skills... Don't worry, I won't do it today, let the kitchen do it!"

After hearing this, Mao Pijiang let out a long sigh and bowed: "...so, then... Is it better to obey my orders than respect?"

Wu Zheng laughed and pulled Mao Xiang, "Let's go, talk about things in the side palace."

....

"Is it so difficult to deal with just a thousand prisoners? You are the chief minister of the dynasty, whether to kill or stay, isn't it just your words?" Wu Zheng looked at Mao Xiang strangely, "...I understand. You Mao Pijiang want to move the trouble eastward and let me take the blame for you... right?!"

"...Your Majesty, I really can't think of it... If I say that I will kill them all, then there will be more than a thousand people... But if I don't kill them, there will be a lot of public opinion, which is afraid of arousing public anger...!"

Mao Xiang was really a headache. He felt that if he was killed during the Northern Expedition, he would be killed. But now, the enemy surrendered, the Qing Dynasty was destroyed, and the whole world was in the hands of the court. Speaking of which, these people have become the people of the emperor. At this time, if they kill blood flows into a river, it is indeed contrary to the way of sages.

Wu Zheng smiled, "Drink first, let's talk about it... You haven't come to the palace for a few days. I want to find a suitable person to drink!"

Mao Xiang smiled bitterly and said, "Your Majesty... You can't show me first... I can't accompany you to have fun!"

"That's right?" Wu Zheng laughed, "Okay... Then I'll ask you first, among these more than a thousand prisoners, how many Qing people are there? How many Han officials are there? How many hard-core traitors who help the evildoers? How many are in Cao's camp and in the Han Dynasty, or can't help themselves?"

Wu Zheng's series of questions made Mao Xiang hesitate and asked tentatively, "What does your majesty mean?"

"The Qing people are hostile, and they are all their masters, and there is no blame for them... Now that they have surrendered, they will not blame them!" Wu Zheng said casually, "The Qing army entered the pass, and left their hair but not their heads. They were forced to surrender. They were willing to do so. As long as they had no bad records, they would give some money to return home. Among them, those with talented people will be demoted and used...!"

Speaking of this, Wu Zheng's face gradually became serious, "But those hard-core traitors who help the evildoer must be severely punished. Whether it is evil retribution or killing a chicken to warn the monkey... one person must not be left!"

Mao Xiang thought for a moment and looked up and said, "What Your Majesty said is so true. I am actually as thoughtful as Your Majesty... But the question is, how to identify... The Qing royal family naturally does not need to be identified. There are not many people, only more than 200 people. But who will prove that they were forced to help the evildoer or willing to help the evildoer? Especially Fan Wencheng, Hong Chengchou and others, the evidence of the crime is conclusive, but they all said that they did a lot of things for Your Majesty. In this battle, our army surrounded Shengjing. They tried a lot of efforts to persuade the Qing court to surrender... If this really comes to light, is the crime greater than the fault or the crime greater than the crime... I would like to ask Your Majesty for advice!"

Wu Zheng smiled, bit Mao Xiang, and then pointed to the cooked fish brought by the palace maid.

"Is this fish wrong?"

Mao Xiang was stunned.

Wu Zheng continued, "I think it's right... If you didn't want Pijiang to enter the palace, I would have released it... But now, it has become a delicacy, why?"

Mao Xiang nodded as if he had some insight.

"The emperor is ruthless, which means that the emperor has no emotions and six desires, but that the emperor should not distinguish right from wrong!" Wu Zheng said leisurely.

Mao Xiang frowned and took a breath.

"My people gathered to petition outside the imperial city. You Mao Xiang is the chief assistant of the dynasty..." Wu Zheng slapped the wine jar on the table. "Do you want to turn your elbow out, would you rather bend your people than seek justice for those unscrupulous and unvirtuous people? Can I think that you Mao Xiang is still sympathizing with the so-called classmates, fellow teachers, old colleagues?!"

This sentence hurts the heart, and Mao Xiang was shocked, "But... but there may not be no one who is wronged?"

Wu Zheng said lightly, "I can't see it, nor do I want to see it!"

Mao Xiang's heart was shocked, "This...this means... it's better to kill by mistake than let go?"

"The Chief Auxiliary advised me...I'm sure!" Wu Zheng said loudly, "Come... have a drink!"

Mao Xiang was shocked and then smiled bitterly.

Accurate?

It seems that you have to take the blame even if you don’t take it.

Mao Xiang raised his glass and said to himself: "Thank you for your advice... I understand!"

Wu Zheng drank all the wine, "...... Move all the people in the Qing Dynasty to Dongfan Island, and handed over the heads of the people in the Qing Dynasty to a house with a hundred acres of land and a hundred taels of silver... I can't let anyone say I'm stinging... haha?"

Mao Xiang was shocked, Dongfan Island?

Isn't this a delivery overseas?

Mao Xiang was about to speak, but Wu Zheng raised his hand to stop him and said in a deep voice, "Mao Xiang, I will not kill them, but also give them land, money and food. I am already kind... If you want to treat them well again, you will be ungrateful!"

Mao Xiang quickly responded, "Your Majesty is wise... I obey the order!"

"Okay, everything is resolved. Let's drink with me today!"

"Please, your Majesty!"
