The end of the world begins with the king

Chapter 753

The two cabinet ministers appeared outside Chengqian'an gate at the same time.

After being notified by the eunuch, the two of them walked together and walked into the palace gate.

The faces of the two were heavy, because Zuoye and they got the news about what happened outside the Xianfu Gate.

Concubine Duan is cruel and ruthless, and the two of them understand it best.

However, the two of them also had "festivals" with Concubine Duan, King Yong generously forgave them, but it was hard to guarantee that Concubine Duan would not trouble them.

It is related to the lives of the whole family, how can the two of them not take it seriously, so they are meeting together at this moment.

Soon, the two arrived outside the main hall, and were brought in by the eunuch on duty outside the gate.

"Kowtow to Your Highness!"

In the past, when they met Zhao Weilong, they didn't need to kneel in most cases, and the little emperor would excuse them because of their age.

But in front of Zhao Yanxun, these two didn't dare to trust "big" at all, so they had to pay homage honestly.

"Get up!" Zhao Yanxun said casually.

"You two elders, why are you here?"

"Your Highness..."

Wang Tinghe's voice was heavy, and he knelt down on the floor again, presenting a memorial with both hands.

Xie Xiaofang on the side also did the same thing, but Zhao Yanxun was stunned.

"My lord is guilty!"

The eunuch serving in the hall carefully took the memorial and placed it in front of Zhao Yanxun.

Holding the cover of one of the memorials, Zhao Yanxun asked, "What's your crime?"

"The old minister is confused. He was deceived by rumors back then, so he misunderstood His Highness, so he strongly opposed His Highness being the crown prince!"

"And at the instigation of the former empress Li and the false emperor, the concubine Duan was sent out of the palace to suffer..."

"Because of the old minister's stupidity and ignorance, His Majesty's mother was in danger, and the old minister deserves to die!"

While listening to Wang Tinghe's statement, Zhao Yanxun was also flipping through the memorial, which actually explained in more detail.

Not only did Zhao Yanxun suspect after reading the content, but did these two come here to apologize?Or is it to shirk responsibility?
"You two lovers, I have already said before that those who abandon the dark and turn to the bright will not be blamed, and your so-called crimes will be written off!"

These two old men took care of the cabinet in an orderly manner. To be honest, Zhao Yanxun really couldn't bear to kill them, so naturally he wanted to forgive them at this moment.

"Your Highness forgive me, I am grateful..."

"Ranchen and I know that the empress is angry, so they are willing to accept the punishment to dispel the anger in the empress's heart!"

Xie Xiaofang's sentence pointed out the crux of the problem, and made Zhao Yanxun understand the worries of the two of them.

At this time, Zhao Yanxun did not beat around the bush, and said bluntly: "Now you two are in charge of state affairs, you can be called the arms of the king!"

"Mother Concubine has great foresight, how could she turn her anger on you when she is seeking stability now?"

"The two cabinet elders don't need to worry too much, go back and handle government affairs with peace of mind, and keep the government running as the most important thing!"

Although it is comforting, Zhao Yanxun's words are not without the meaning of beating.

To protect yourself and your family, first do your job honestly.

Next, this matter will be clarified.

Just when these two cabinet ministers came over, Zhao Yanxun explained to them about the strategy of the recent administration.

To put it simply, stability is still the main priority. Reorganizing the army and autumn harvest are the most important things at the moment.

After some discussion, it was almost noon.

"Sir, please retire!"

Comprehending Zhao Yanxun's intentions, the two retreated from the main hall, just in time to meet the four military officers of Hou Zhao.

It has not happened for many years that a military officer enters the palace, and this scene chills the hearts of the two of them.

This means that the civil-military system has reappeared, and the era of "one family dominating" the civil-official group is gone.

They were two types of people, and there was no communication between them, so Wang Xie left in a hurry.

"My lord announces your audience!"

"Yes!"

The four of them entered the main hall together and were led to a side hall on the west side.

Standing outside the threshold, the four of them kowtowed together, their expressions full of caution.

The majestic and majestic general also has a sincere and fearful attitude in front of Zhao Yanxun, which is not contradictory.

After signaling the four to get up, Zhao Yanxun said: "Your subordinates, this king intends to bestow the power of the gods on all of them!"

This sentence alone shocked the four of them.

Granting all the power of the gods, this is the treatment that those in the bodyguard department have, and they have never expected it.

"Thank you, my lord!"

Sitting back on the chair, looking at the four people in front of him, Zhao Yanxun said in a deep voice: "I have given you such benefits, so naturally I have a heavy responsibility to entrust to you!"

The four responded immediately: "My lord please give me instructions!"

If there is an errand, there is credit. Now that the imperial court has been taken down, the military merits that can be made are getting less and less. How can they not cherish it.

After Zhao Yanxun ascended the throne, he will definitely be rewarded for his meritorious deeds. At that time, every level of Gonghou Bozi will be far behind.

Zhao Yanxun was very satisfied seeing that this person had a high fighting spirit and was completely free from the ease and slack after a big victory.

"You four guards, Wu Jianqing and Chen Yuhe's troops are cavalry, and Ding Hong and Zheng Fan's troops are infantry. There are more than 2 people in total..."

"My king plans, after the autumn harvest in August, you will lead the army to fight against the non-officials!"

There are seven counties in the southwest and the south, and he has sent imperial envoys in the name of the court to call on them to obey the control of the court.

That's right, it is to obey the court's control unconditionally.

If these people are wise and take this opportunity to return to the imperial court, the matter can be resolved peacefully.

If they want to negotiate conditions, or seek self-reliance, then Zhao Yanxun will never be soft on them.

These people are not willing to submit to the imperial court normally at the moment. Wouldn't these people be more likely to cause chaos in his various reforms in the future?
So in Zhao Yanxun's view, Weifu is more reliable than Enfu, so he hopes to bring down the south.

It took at least half a month before he sent imperial envoys to various places to explain his attitude, and then they responded to the court, and it happened that the autumn harvest was about to end at that time.

"Therefore, those who should be sent to the bodyguard department must be sent as soon as possible, and there must be no secrets in the middle!"

"Send these people away, you must complete the selection of soldiers as soon as possible, and the king will bestow them after the soldiers are confirmed!"

"Do you understand?"

"Sir, you understand!"

The matter was settled, Zhao Yanxun walked in front of several people, his expression became warm.

"Only 2 of you are allowed to counter the rebellion. Do you have any difficulties?"

Hearing this, Chen Yuhe immediately said: "My lord, even if I only let the minister lead the army to put down the rebellion, the minister will not be afraid at all!"

Of course, Chen Yuhe's courage is commendable. Even if he has [-] first-class soldiers under his command, it would be very difficult for him to put down the rebellion alone.

After two large-scale battles, Zhao Yanxun had a clearer understanding of the combat effectiveness of an army composed of first- and second-level soldiers.

An army composed of soldiers at the first level can defeat elite infantry three times its own size, and an army at the second level can defeat an army five times its own size.

This conclusion is drawn when the equipment of the two sides is similar. If the enemy's equipment is better, three times and five times may not be true.

In fact, this is already a terrifying combat power.

Their 2 people are worth [-] elite infantry, so Zhao Yanxun is naturally very relieved.

After the autumn harvest, the civilian husbands who are free can guarantee the logistics supply, and the battle against the rebellion is actually very simple.

Of course, this also requires that the autumn harvest must be completed smoothly, otherwise the food supply will not be available, and on the contrary, several counties in the Central Plains will be in chaos first.

"Since you are so ambitious, well... you will be the commander in charge of this rebellion campaign!"

This was a sudden surprise. Chen Yuhe never expected that since this benefit would fall on him.

At this time, it reflects the closeness and estrangement.

Chen Yuhe was the first batch of veterans, who were born in a hundred households of royal guards, Zhao Yanxun's absolute direct subordinates.

In the system of Prince Yong's Mansion, only those individuals in the Guards Department are older than him.

"The minister takes orders, and he will surely live up to the lord's great trust!" Chen Yuhe knelt on the ground and replied resolutely.
