The eldest princess is obsessed with rebellion, but there are six male protagonists
Chapter 229 Centralization
Su Fengyi summoned Zhu Qi and asked him to listen to Pei Yu's arrangements and see what Lord Pei wanted.
Zhu Qi was extremely happy to be able to show up in front of His Majesty and do errands for His Majesty, and he came as soon as he was summoned.
But when he saw Lord Pei's gently smiling eyes, Zhu Qi felt a chill on his forehead for some reason. He didn't even dare to move forward, for fear that there was a pit ahead.
Fortunately, the request from Lord Pei was not complicated. After hearing it, Zhu Qi felt relieved and asked politely:
"Master Pei, you said you want a detailed report on all the banditry in Shaanxi and Gansu? But the previous ones are not enough? I wonder how detailed you want it to be?"
Pei Yu casually opened the detailed report on banditry given by the Weinan secret agent and explained to Zhu Qi in detail what this detailed report meant:
"Master Zhu, we can just add a few words to the previous intelligence. For example, the second in command often sends people down the mountain to purchase daily necessities. How often does this often mean? Three days, five days, ten days, or half a month? Is there a specific date?
Who were the people sent? How many people were there? What were their last names and names? How old were they? How tall or short, fat or thin? What dialect did they speak? What did they say?
What are the daily necessities that need to be purchased? Rice, flour, grain, oil, fruits, vegetables, meat, tea. Where do you buy them? What do you buy? How many people do you buy? And so on and so forth..."
Zhu Qi's head felt a buzzing pain as he listened to the list after list. This was not just adding one or two more things; it was simply writing a daily record for these bandits.
Su Fengyi asked Zhu Qi:
"But are there any difficulties?"
In front of His Majesty, Zhu Qi dared not have any difficulties, and kept shaking his head:
"It's not difficult. I will definitely get it done!"
However, Su Fengyi did not have the opportunity to ask Zhu Qi to work overtime. The secret agents were not part of the official organization of the Jinyiwei and they had their own lives to lead. Pei Yu wanted a lot of things and the secret agents might not be able to take care of them all and might just do a perfunctory job.
If you want the horse to run, you have to feed it grass.
So Su Fengyi said to Zhu Qi:
"Tell the secret agents that whoever's information is used will be rewarded with ten taels of silver. If anyone's information is used to catch the bandit leader, he will be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver and be appointed as the general flag."
Ten taels of silver are enough for a family's expenses for a year.
A thousand taels of silver, plus a stable job as a general, and you can rest easy for the rest of your life.
Once this decree is issued, are you still afraid that people will not fight to the death?
This time, Zhu Qi really had no difficulty at all. Not only did he have no difficulty, he even smiled and came to Pei Yu:
"Master Pei, come here, come here, take another look, is there anything missing..."
Zhu Qi wrote down all the requirements carefully this time, and then said:
"Okay, Master Pei, just wait. I will do everything for you. When you arrive in Shaanxi and Gansu, I will present it to you."
On the second day, Pei Yu was fully prepared and formally said goodbye to Su Fengyi.
Su Fengyi not only gave Pei Yu what he wanted, but also prepared something else for him. She said to Pei Yu:
"I have sent a secret letter to General Shen, asking him to station his troops at the ferry crossing along the Yellow River in Shanxi, waiting for your news and ready to mobilize at any time. In addition, I have also sent Wutong to Shaanxi, who will also be at your disposal and serve as a liaison between you and General Shen."
Pei Yu gave Su Fengyi a big gift:
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace. I am leaving now."
Su Fengyi walked over, helped him up personally, and whispered in his ear:
"Pei Zhaoming, even if the banditry in Shaanxi and Gansu is not pacified, I will grant your request. Come back alive."
A very light kiss fell on his cheek. The surprise came too suddenly. Pei Yu touched his face and smiled. This seemed to be the first time that His Majesty was so proactive towards him!
After taking countless detours and starting over countless times, this time I took the right path!
Lord Pei left the Palace of Tranquil Longevity with a smile. This was the same smile that Su Fengyi had when she first met him. It was a smile that showed that he was confident and had everything under control.
This weak scholar who doesn't know any martial arts at all, will go to Shaanxi and Gansu alone to fulfill his wish and put down the numerous bandit attacks by his own strength.
……
After Pei Yu went to Shaanxi and Gansu, Su Fengyi made some adjustments to the daily review procedures of the Cabinet and the Imperial Household Department.
In the past, because the emperor did not care at all, memorials drafted by the cabinet would first go to the Imperial Household Department, where the eunuchs would copy them and then send them to Xue Yu for stamping. They would then be symbolically kept in the Qianqing Palace for one night before being sent back to the cabinet.
Su Fengyi is not going to touch the cabinet's drafting power for the time being, but all memorials sent by the cabinet every day must first be sent to the Yangxin Palace for her to review, and it is up to her to decide what to write in red-ink comments.
Just like in the Princess's Mansion, Xue Yu also had his own desk in the Hall of Mental Cultivation.
For some memorials that were not very important and that Su Fengyi had read and did not find any major problems with, Su Fengyi would ask Xue Yu to rewrite them according to the cabinet's opinion, with the words "Cabinet ministers obey the imperial order" written at the beginning, and with ink comments instead of the previous red comments.
After the approval was completed, the seal would be used on the spot and the document would be sent back to the Silijian for copying, and then returned to the Cabinet on the same day, and would never be left overnight.
For important memorials, or if Su Fengyi felt that the cabinet's opinions were inappropriate, Su Fengyi would personally review them, using red ink to write his own comments.
She did not try to imitate the emperor's handwriting. Of course, even if she did, there would not be much point in imitating it, because the emperor had never seriously reviewed a few memorials, and almost no one knew his handwriting.
The memorials that had been annotated by the emperor were also first sent back to the Silijian for copying and filing, and then sent to the cabinet, also without being sent overnight.
She did not take back the power of the Cabinet and the Imperial Household Department at the beginning, but used this subtle method to slowly take back the power.
In the morning, he usually reviews memorials to the dead, and in the afternoon he meets with ministers, starting with the ministers who knelt down to make a remonstration with the coffin in hand last time. He summons a few of them every day and starts his conversation with the ministers' most recent memorials.
The ministers who survived Qiao Gui's era had one extraordinary ability, which was that they would not accept stubbornness. Those who accepted stubbornness would have died long ago.
So at the beginning, the ministers who were summoned were a little dazed when they saw Su Fengyi, and then looked at her uncertainly. After the conversation, they were basically like Lord Yao and Lord He, and went back to work as ordered.
Of course, there were some fish that slipped through the net, including those who refused to give in to their own principles. Su Fengyi did not try to persuade them, but simply dismissed them from office. Then, his subordinates were promoted to a higher rank on the spot and allowed to continue working.
There are many people in the world who can work. Those who are unwilling to work for me, get out.
After going back and forth like this several times, all the ministers in the court understood clearly what kind of person the current emperor was.
His Majesty demands obedience, and those who disobey must leave.
And those who don’t want to leave are always the majority.
While Su Fengyi was sorting out the previous dynasty, Dangui and Concubine Hui began to clean out the people in the palace.
The people in the Yangxin Palace were all specially screened by Xue Yu, so there was no big problem. However, there were thousands of people in the palace, and it was hard to guarantee that anyone could be the secret agent of Prince Pingliang, such as the maid who served Princess Qingyang before.
The reason why King Pingliang knew so much about the Wutong incident was all thanks to the help of these secret agents.
It is actually easy to identify the hidden agents. Anyone who hangs around the Palace of Tranquil Longevity for no reason, or hangs around the people in the Palace of Tranquil Longevity, is a problem.
Su Fengyi had to take care of the affairs of the previous dynasty and didn't have the time to take care of these people, so he gave this task to Dangui.
After Dangui worked out a plan for Su Fengyi's personal affairs, she brought Shuangye to the palace and put her in charge of her.
Then Dangui went from palace to palace, using the excuse of distributing rewards, to recognize people, and almost memorized the names and faces of everyone in the palace.
So there was a young eunuch walking past the door of the Yangxin Palace in the evening. Dangui recognized him at a glance. This was someone who should not be here. With his status, no matter what job he was doing, he should not come to the Yangxin Palace and pass by this road. So Dangui had him captured on the spot and arrested.
