Chapter 619

Cheng Jinyang passed through the Xuanwu Gate, and assigned a group of soldiers to guard here to prevent those strange people from entering.

Then he drove straight in, leading the remaining soldiers to the palace.

Outside the main entrance of the palace, a group of courtiers and old gods stood on the ground at the door. Seeing a group of soldiers arriving here surrounded by Cheng Jinyang, they immediately embraced them enthusiastically.

Cheng Jinyang: ………………

Damn, the attitude is wrong!
In common sense, if a civil servant sees a military general leading troops into the palace, wouldn't you be scared out of sweat?

You must know that bringing soldiers into the palace means that the palace has been transferred to military management, and the political order that civilian officials usually rely on for survival has now been taken away by the big soldiers.

To put it bluntly, Cheng Jinyang can even draw his sword to catch someone and kill him now, and then calmly say to others, "My sword must drink blood every day, and I will use it with the hot blood from his neck", and the courtiers can't help it...

So such a warm attitude is outrageous!
However, he soon realized that these courtiers were all from noble families.

That is to say...

Is my plan already known to the entire gentry?
Cheng Jinyang greeted everyone with a dark face, but the courtiers ignored his expression and flattered him skillfully. As he talked, he wanted to invite Jie Shuai to the clan as a guest, and hinted that his young daughter wanted to see Jie Shuai very much What, Cheng Jinyang quickly interrupted and stopped these old tricksters from continuing to play.

It's a pity that the interruption was a bit late after all, Luling just came out of the palace, and he sneered when he heard the words:
"Jie Shuai came in time. If he arrives later, the queen mother can say that the courtiers outside are going to die of anxiety."

"Your Highness." The sister-in-law's attack could not break Cheng Jinyang's face at all, "Are the Queen Mother and Your Majesty still in good health?"

"Ankang." Luling said coldly, "I'm going to disappoint some people."

"Huh." Cheng Jinyang also sneered, "Rebellious ministers and thieves, everyone has to punish them! Now that the Beifu army has arrived in Jiankang, I will order them to raid the entire city later, and must catch all the masterminds behind the assassins! "

Luling: ……………

The mastermind behind the arrest of the assassins is false, and according to the objection list provided by Wu Xingjia, it is true to purge those political forces who still have their hearts in the Jin Dynasty!
"Cough, cough, cough." She hurriedly coughed, and made a soothing gesture of "forgive you", and said, "The queen mother is for the sake of the country, and she doesn't want to make this matter too big, so she has ordered Jin Yiwei to only punish the evil ones, not Get involved again. Don't act impulsively and break the order."

Cheng Jinyang frowned, as if he was not used to his sister-in-law's preaching attitude.

It's just that he suddenly remembered that beautiful night last time, and the anger that was originally full of stagnation stagnated, and then slowly fell back.

Forget it, anyway, now I have all the civil and military affairs in my hands, so it doesn't matter whether I want to clean it or not.

So he cupped his hands and said:
"Your Highness, please go back and report, and open the court as soon as possible, so that I can confirm His Majesty's situation."

"Just wait." Luling waved his hand indifferently.

Due to the arrival of Cheng Jinyang and the Beifu Army, this time the Empress Dowager Yu and the little emperor did not continue to retreat, but slowly came out to preside over the government.

The national policy to be discussed is also very simple, that is how to deal with the Sichuan and Shu issues that have just been recovered, and who will take over the Jingxiang and Longxiang troops after Yu Yuangui's death.

As far as the former is concerned, Sichuan and Shu have not been damaged by war, and a large number of industries in it are owned.

Second, the gentry in Sichuan and Shu are all living well. If these people are handled properly, they will be an important support for the imperial court to take over Sichuan and Shu; if they are not handled properly, they will turn into a huge resistance.

Therefore, everyone discussed for a long time and decided to take a two-pronged approach.

Politically, it is necessary to send a respected elder of the gentry to govern, so as to reduce the vigilance and repulsion of the gentry in Sichuan and Shu.

Economically, it is necessary to use the advantageous enterprises on the Dajin side to complete the penetration of Sichuan and Sichuan as soon as possible, such as Li's grain and oil, Zheng's building materials, Cui's funds, etc.

Sichuan and Shu have been out of touch with the Great Jin Dynasty for a long time, and they have almost formed an independent economic cycle. Now they must be reintroduced into the empire's large economic cycle as soon as possible.

In this way, if Sichuan and Shu brazenly rebel, resulting in the economic ties between the two sides being cut off again, it will severely damage the interests of owners of various industries—and these people are either Sichuan and Shu gentry, corporate capitalists, and the vast number of self-employed Small bosses are relatively rebellious groups in Sichuan and Sichuan society.

Cheng Jinyang listened by the side without speaking, thinking that these courtiers from noble families were not incompetent.

It's just that people have tendencies after all.On the surface, these policies are indeed conducive to the empire's recovery of Sichuan and Shu, but in private, they are also extremely beneficial to the gentry group headed by the five surnames.

In other words, do they have other policies that are "only beneficial to the country, not beneficial to the gentry" in their minds?
Maybe there is, but people just don't say it.As long as you, as a superior, can't think of it, you have no choice but to be at their mercy.

Thinking of this, Cheng Jinyang also sighed helplessly.

Once you are in charge, you will face the same problem:
How to deal with these gentry groups.

From the perspective of merit and demerit, the existence of the gentry group has its own positive significance, but sometimes it can also hinder it.

When the country is prosperous, the funds and talents provided by the gentry group can help the court solve various problems - and by the way, they will also grow themselves.

When the country is in decline, the gentry group will definitely not want to go downhill with it, and will start to have some dangerous thoughts like Wang Chuzhong.

To put it bluntly, it depends on whether the interests of the gentry are consistent with the interests of the country.Consistency is easy to say, inconsistency is a headache.

Although he crushed the entire human world by force, he had no way to rule the human world by force.

To be able to rule, after all, it still depends on a mature political system.

And the system is bound to be exploited by the elite...

His mind was wandering, thinking wildly, and suddenly someone kicked him from behind.

"Ask you!" Luling called out to him in a low voice.

When Cheng Jinyang raised his head, he saw that the eyes of all the officials were on him.

Princess Nankang on the stage recounted the results of the discussion with her younger brother on behalf of her mother:
Let him take over the position of admiral left by Yu Yuangui, lead the military affairs of the six states, concurrently serve as the governor of the three states, be promoted to the general of Zhengxi, and the third division of Yitong...

As for the most important right to open the mansion, it had been given to him as early as when the North Mansion Army was built.

Yu Yuangui's original title was "General Zhengxi", and now Cheng Jinyang has been awarded "General Zhengxi". On the one hand, it is to show that his achievements are superior to Yu Yuangui, and to show the court's attitude of distinguishing rewards and punishments. On the other hand, he also uses these two titles. It hints at the gentry, who supported Cheng Jinyang's conquest of Sichuan and Shu in the first place.

After thinking clearly about the relationship, Cheng Jinyang no longer hesitated, and bowed down to accept it.
