Although the reign name is Zhaoqing, when a new emperor ascends the throne, the Yuan will be changed in the following year to express the intention of following the will of the previous emperor.
On the sixth day of June in the second year of Jiaxi, Emperor Zhaoqing received congratulations from his clan relatives and officials in the Guangde Hall.
After court congratulations, Emperor Zhaoqing issued several imperial edicts.
One is to honor the royal family.
Respect the father as the Supreme Emperor, respect the mother as the Empress Dowager, enshrine the eldest sister Lou Quan as Princess Jingping, and the second sister Lou Ling as Princess Ningxuan.
Yuewang Louzong made great contributions to eliminating the rebellious party, so he was specially named the King of Zhennan.
The second way is to reward the meritorious officials.
Huoyan was granted the title of Dingguo Duke and concurrently the post of Grand Marshal of the World's Soldiers and Horses.
He appointed Yang Guanghuai as the left minister and Fan Yusheng as the right minister.
The remaining officials were sealed in turn.
The three ways are amnesty for the world.
After the edict was read out, everyone's legs were numb.
The enthronement ceremony finally came to an end.
The world is set for the first time, and a thousand wastes are waiting for prosperity.
Lou Yu didn't want to waste time, so he immediately called a group of ministers to a meeting in the Hall of Qinzheng.
"In the past few years, the people of my Dasheng have often encountered wars and chaos, and they have been unable to live in peace. Now that the society is initially settled, I plan to formulate a policy to calm the people so that the people can rest and recuperate."
The crowd took it for granted.
Except for Gyeongju, the rest of the state capitals have more or less suffered from the rebels and bandits, and the common people have suffered terribly.
Fan Yusheng said: "Although Bandit Tang is dead, there are still many deserters fleeing outside. I am worried that they will flee to various state capitals, causing soldiers and bandits."
"Well, this matter is handed over to the Ministry of War to formulate a 'Plan to Eliminate Banditry', and order the prefects and generals of the garrison to implement it, and strive to eliminate banditry, so as to ensure the safety of people's lives and property!"
Duan Heng, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, bowed immediately: "This humble minister leads the order!"
Duan Heng was originally the magistrate of Huzhou. He guarded Huzhou together with Qiu Guang, the commander of the garrison, and he was somewhat dabbled in the military.
The minister of the Ministry of War is in charge of the country's military affairs, and most of the time it is held by civilian officials. Of course, if the civilian officials are proficient in military affairs, it is naturally the icing on the cake.
Yang Guanghuai said: "Your Majesty, due to the war, many of the people's homes and properties were destroyed, how should I appease them?"
Before Lou Yu ascended the throne, he was busy sorting out these things.
He ordered Feng Erbi to distribute the plan to the ministers.
"Let the prefects of all states count the losses in the territory as soon as possible, including city walls, houses, fields, grain, etc., and report them to the central government. The Ministry of Households is responsible for this matter."
Wei Si, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, took orders respectfully.
"The Ministry of Finance will count the treasury accounts as soon as possible, and then report to me."
Lou Quan obeyed.
"The Ministry of Industry immediately drew up a construction plan based on the damage to the city walls and fortifications in various places."
Lu You, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, accepted the order.
"In addition, the state capitals that were severely affected by the disaster will reduce or exempt taxes for three years. After the above reports are summarized, we will formulate corresponding assistance policies. These things must be implemented as soon as possible!"
All the ministers said in unison: "Observe the order!"
Duan Heng, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, came out again.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, there are only [-] troops in the northwest now, should there be more troops?"
There were originally [-] soldiers in the northwest, but Tang Cheng successively dispatched [-] soldiers in an attempt to conquer the world, but now there are only [-] left.
Lou Yu nodded, looked at Huo Yan involuntarily, and asked, "Duke Ding has a good plan to rectify the army before?"
Huo Yan never spoke, just looking at Lou Yu who was in high spirits after the trial, he felt full of joy.
Hearing the question, he immediately returned to God and said: "Your Majesty, I have carried out an inventory a few days ago. After several battles, there are still 4000 people in the Qing Army. 5000 people have been transferred from them as the imperial guards. The remaining soldiers and horses They are stationed inside and outside the capital."
"But, what about the Northwest?"
"In the first battle of Kunzhou, more than 2 people were captured; in the first battle of Tongzhou, nearly [-] people were captured; in the first battle of Changkui, more than [-] people were captured. Most of them came from the northwest, and they had no intention of rebelling , but because the military order cannot be violated, Tang Cheng had to coerce him into rebellion."
"You mean, they can continue to be stationed in the northwest?"
"Yes."
Lou Yu asked again: "There are still many Tang Cheng's confidants among the captives, what should they do?"
"Those who voluntarily surrender can be kept; those who are passively captured can be killed."
It is impossible for Huo Yan to keep someone who has a different heart.
Lou Yu nodded, inspected the ministers, and asked: "The Northwest is now vacant. Who do you think can be the commander of the Northwest?"
Without even thinking about it, Duan Heng said: "This minister thinks that Ding Guogong can take on this task."
The rest of the ministers agreed.
Fan Yusheng said with a smile: "The Huo family once made great military exploits in the northwest, and the two generals Huo Yi and Huo Shun still have their prestige. If Duke Ding goes to garrison, the army's morale will be stabilized."
He said, pulling Yang Guanghuai together: "Mr. Yang, do you think so?"
Yang Guanghuai looked at Huo Yan calmly, coughed lightly, "I don't understand military affairs."
Fan Yusheng: "..."
Lou Yu couldn't help but bend his lips, thinking that Yang Guanghuai was still as interesting as before.
He then asked Huo Yan: "What does Huo Aiqing think?"
Huo Yan fixedly looked at him: "I only listen to His Majesty's orders. However, I think that during these few battles, there have been many good talents in the army. If they are allowed to garrison the northwest, the northwest will be like a tiger with wings added."
The previous sentence means: I am willing to do whatever you want me to do.
The latter sentence means: But I still hope to send someone else.
Lou Yu felt sweet in his heart, and said with a serious face: "I know, I will think about it carefully."
After the ministers continued to discuss some government affairs, Lang Ping, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, saw the opportunity and said:
"I would like to report to Your Majesty, I believe that the world is stable now, and there is no wave in the world. Your Majesty is in the prime of life, is he recruiting beautiful women, filling the harem, and spreading branches and leaves for the royal family?"
He used to be the magistrate of Jizhou, but now he has been transferred to the capital as the Minister of Rites.
He had nothing to do with the enthronement ceremony, but he didn't expect the first incident to stab the hearts of two people.
Lou Yu has worked hard in the past few years, and has never been involved in female sex. Because his great career has not been accomplished, everyone only thinks that he has no intention of doing this.
Now that he is the emperor and his career is established, he is about to start a family.
The rest of the ministers echoed.
Fan Yusheng said: "At present, the post is vacant, and many noble women from aristocratic families in Beijing are all good-looking, so it's better..."
"How old is Fan Xiang?" Huo Yan suddenly interrupted him and asked in a deep voice.
Yang Guanghuai took a step back silently to avoid being accidentally injured.
Although Fan Yusheng was interrupted, he didn't feel any annoyance, and replied: "Fan is twenty-two this year, why did Duke Ding ask this question?"
"Has Fan Xiang ever been married?" Huo Yan asked back.
Fan Yusheng said: "Naturally not. However, whether Fan is married or not has no impact on Jiangshan Sheji, whether or not His Majesty has any children is a matter of Guozuo."
Huo Yan couldn't refute for a moment.
He knew that what Fan Yusheng said was reasonable, and he also knew that Lou Yu must be in a difficult situation right now.
As a courtier, he has no reason to refute.
Lou Yu said warmly: "The new dynasty was established at the beginning, and I still don't have the energy to do these things. But when it comes to this, I remembered that there are still the late emperor's concubines in the palace, how should they be arranged?"
The subject was turned cleverly.
Yang Guanghuai immediately answered: "Your Majesty, I believe that God has the virtue of good life, and Emperor Huai is also kind and generous. The concubines in the palace are all young, so it is better to send them out of the palace and return to their homes so that they can start their lives again."
None of these concubines were pregnant, they were in their prime, and they were dying alone in the palace, so it's better to let them go out of the palace to find another way out.
Lang Ping frowned lightly and said, "But this is against etiquette."
How could the late emperor's concubines return to the common people?
Although Fan Yusheng disagreed in his heart, he didn't speak. He just glanced at Yang Guanghuai and understood why he said that.
When His Majesty was still in Gyeongju, he abolished the divorce system. It is impossible for everyone not to understand the profound meaning.
Not only did Gyeongju textile factories have thousands of female workers, but other state capitals also continued to build new government-run textile factories, drawing on the technology of Gyeongju's large hydraulic spinning wheel and recruiting many female workers.
Apart from textile factories, female workers gradually appeared in other factories or industries.
Led by Gyeongju, the status of women in Eight States has been continuously raised.
With the improvement of women's status, these concubines will no longer be the same as before, either buried with them or going to the nunnery to clean up.
At least, the Majesty in front of him would not agree to such a treatment.
Yang Guanghuai said earnestly: "Shang Shu, don't be so narrow-minded. Have you forgotten the edict read out by His Majesty at the enthronement ceremony?"
"what?"
"Amnesty for the world." Yang Guanghuai said with a smile, "All the criminals in the prison can be released, but these innocent concubines can't. How can there be such a reason?"
Lang Ping: "..."
It seems... makes sense.
He acquiesced in this matter, and changed the subject again: "Your Majesty, at the beginning of the new dynasty, is it necessary to add Enke and select officials to fill the vacancy in the court?"
Lou Yu was very interested in this matter, nodded and said: "The imperial examination is related to the country, and I will draw up a draft later, so you do it. Enke will be set after the autumn harvest."
"The minister obeys the order."
"By the way, there is one more thing that needs to be done by the Ministry of Officials." Lou Yu said.
The Minister of the Ministry of Officials is called Xue Qi. He was originally the Minister of the Ministry of Officials. He was one of the officials who greeted him at the city gate.
The former Minister of the Ministry of Officials took refuge in the Tang Party, and fled the capital on the eve of the Qing army's entry into Beijing, and Xue Qi took over the position of Minister.
Xue Qi bowed and saluted: "Please give orders, Your Majesty."
"When I was in Gyeongju, Gyeongju and the eight prefectures had a special system of official documents. The Ministry of Officials spread this system to all departments of the central government and various local government offices and county offices as soon as possible. Before the end of the year, all public offices across the country, There has to be a change from the old to the new.”
Xue Qi had never been in Bazhou, so he didn't understand this new system very well, so he said: "Forgive me for being dull, I implore Your Majesty Xu Chen to study the new law in three days."
"Naturally, Mr. Yang and Fan Aiqing will assist you."
"I will obey your orders!"
After the important government affairs were dealt with, all the ministers left the Palace of Qinzheng and went to work in the yamen.
Li Shu came to report at the right time: "Your Majesty, King Zhennan is seeking an audience outside the palace."
He has been following Lou Yu since the farm, and has always been loyal and open-minded, so Lou Yu named him Marquis of Weiyuan and made him the commander of the imperial guards, in charge of both inside and outside the imperial city.
Lou Yu said without raising his head, "Let him in."
After a while, Lou Zong entered the hall to meet Lou Yu.
Lou Yu said with a smile, "Uncle Wang, I'll give you a seat."
Lou Zong was not too polite, he sat down cheerfully and said: "Even if Your Majesty doesn't grant a seat, I have the cheek to ask for one, I really don't need this old bone!"
"Uncle Wang is at the peak of his age, why do you say that?" Lou Yu asked in surprise.
Lou Zong laughed, "To be honest, I have fought a few battles in the past few years and injured my body, so I plan to enjoy life in peace and stability in the future."
"I'll let the imperial doctor take a look at it for you later."
"No need," Lou Zong waved his hands, "It's not a serious problem, just take care of it."
"That's good," Lou Yu no longer insisted, and asked, "I don't know why Uncle Wang wants to see me?"
Lou Zong went straight to the point and said: "I raised my troops back then because I felt that the world was not at peace. Now that Your Majesty loves the people like a son, he is talented and generous. What else should I worry about? There are still many young and strong men under my command, and I have no time to control them. Your Majesty, please help me!"
Even Lou Yu couldn't help admiring what he said.
It can be said that Lou Zong is quite knowledgeable about current affairs.
The vassal king holds a heavy army, no matter which emperor will be afraid.What's more, Lou Yu himself is a typical example of a vassal king's great achievements.
Wouldn't he take the initiative to hand over his military power now, and wait for Lou Yu to cut it later?
Lou Yu is not Emperor Zhengqian and Emperor Jiaxi, Lou Zong has self-knowledge.
But if he just handed over the military power dryly, perhaps Lou Yu would have to decline.
After all, he made a great contribution to eradicating the soup thief.
If it wasn't for Lou Zong's restraint, Tang Cheng directly assembled an army to attack Lou Yu, even if Lou Yu could win, he would probably suffer heavy casualties.
You can't chill the hearts of heroes as soon as you ascend the throne.
But now that Lou Zong begged him to help take over, how could he refuse?
"Uncle Wang doesn't want to take care of them anymore. There are so many young and strong people who can't be let loose. It's better than this. Right now, the whole country needs labor. I will hire them to work for the court. I will ensure that they have no worries about food and clothing."
Putting this group of people outside can easily become an unstable factor. It is better to recruit them as laborers to support the post-war reconstruction work of various states.
Lou Zong was overjoyed and hurried to thank the emperor for his kindness.
"Uncle Wang is too polite, there is no need to be polite."
Lou Zong said with a smile: "There is one more thing. Your Majesty takes care of all kinds of opportunities every day and does his best for the people of the world. I don't have much ability, but I want to express my heart."
"Uncle Wang, please speak."
"The minister discovered a gold mine in the territory of Yuezhou before, and it was the gold mine that recruited those young and strong ministers to work hard for him. Now that the world is stable, the gold mine should naturally be taken over by the imperial court."
With such a generous gift, even Lou Yu couldn't help his heart skip a beat.
That's a goldmine!
Lou Zong's kindness really pleased him.
His complexion became softer and softer: "The national treasury is empty, I have the audacity to accept Uncle Wang's kindness."
Lou Yu felt that the title of Zhennan King was not enough to match Lou Zong's contribution, so he asked, "I don't know if Uncle Wang has ever invited you to be a prince?"
"Not yet, it's been delayed for a few years." Lou Zong knew the elegance after hearing Xiange, "Please also ask Your Majesty to take care of my ineffective eldest son."
"What's the matter?" Lou Yu smiled, "Apart from the eldest son, Uncle Wang also has a second son and a daughter under his knees, right?"
"Indeed."
"I'm going to confer the titles on both of them as King Kang and Princess Duanyi, how about that?"
Lou Zong's smile became stronger: "Thank you, Your Majesty, Long En!"
Of course he is happy that the titled county kings and princesses are higher than those without titles.
After meeting Lou Zong, Lou Yu met many clans and ministers one after another.
It is worth mentioning Cheng Da.
Cheng Da made great contributions to the king this time, and Lou Yu named him Cheng Yingbo and ordered him to continue stationing at the border of Jizhou.
He won a title, and came to bid farewell to Lou Yu beamingly.
Also said one thing.
"Your Majesty, I have nothing to do these days. I chatted with the Northwest Army prisoners. I have something to report to you."
"what's up?"
Cheng Da said: "They said that the military advisor next to Tang Cheng is very powerful. After being a criminal minister, he was dispatched to the Northwest to serve as an army. Tang Cheng reused him, so he changed his name and surname to become a military advisor."
Lou Yu, the military adviser, knew about it.
Tang Cheng died, but the military division survived the chaos and became a prisoner. Now he should be under Huo Yan's control.
"You mean, maybe he helped Tang Cheng rebel because he had a grudge against Lou's court?"
Cheng Da nodded: "But this is not Weichen's idea, Mr. Wen guessed it."
"I get it, you go back first."
After Cheng Da left, Lou Yu summoned Feng Sanmo and asked him to thoroughly investigate the military division.
As Tang Cheng's confidant, the military adviser has not been killed so far, which shows that he voluntarily surrendered.
If he really resented the Lou family and assisted Tang Cheng in overthrowing the Lou family, why did he surrender after the defeat?
Surrendering to the enemy is not like the opponent's style.
Unless, he has a more important task than life to complete.
The new emperor has ascended the throne, the government orders are in order, and public offices across the country are operating efficiently.
After summarizing the reports from various ministries and localities, Lou Yu held another meeting in the Hall of Qinzheng.
The negative impact of the war is too great.
For the disaster-stricken state capitals, the imperial court will allocate special funds for relief to appease the affected people.
"In addition to special funds, we have to organize craftsmen to build the destroyed city." Lou Yu confessed, "If there are problems such as manpower and material shortages, other state governments can support them."
Lu You, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, said, "Your Majesty, please make it clear."
"Organize support groups in various places to ensure the optimization of resource supply efficiency. For example, Gyeongju has iron, Cangzhou has grain, Jizhou has coal, and other prefectures have different resources. It is better to integrate resources and help each other .”
Of course, Qing, Cang, and Ji prefectures help other state capitals, which is called poverty alleviation.
Lu You understood.
He looked excited and said: "The state capitals that were seriously affected by the disaster this time are Kunzhou, Fengzhou, Tongzhou, etc. These states are in urgent need of support. The reconstruction work requires a variety of raw materials. As far as we know, Kunzhou is rich in limestone , Fengzhou is rich in wood, and the two can provide raw materials to each other, and other states can follow suit."
Fan Yusheng also praised: "Good idea."
You can't wait for the support of the imperial court and other state governments, right?Always work hard.
And this effort was done willingly.
Lou Yu said with satisfaction: "The Ministry of Industry has combined the situation of each state to carry out overall planning. Everyone divides the work and cooperates to improve efficiency, so that the common people can live a stable life as soon as possible."
All the ministers admired Lou Yu even more.
With such a British Lord who cares about the people, why should Dasheng not be prosperous?
One policy after another was sent from the central government to the local government, and then quickly implemented on the people.
The common people were overjoyed to get the benefits, they knelt down and bowed towards the capital.
With a new dynasty and a new atmosphere, Lou Yu is so busy that he can't even drink his saliva.
He opened a memorial, and the more he looked at it, the more he frowned.
"Erbi, call Xue Qi to me."
The office of the Sixth Department is in the imperial city, and after a while, Xue Qi hurried to the Palace of Qinzheng.
"My humble servant greets His Majesty!"
Lou Yu's eyes were stern: "I asked you to urge the public office to learn the new official document system before, why is there such a long-winded note?"
What a waste of his time!
Feng Erbi handed the excerpt to Xue Qi, and Xue Qi couldn't help but get dark when he saw that the excerpt was full of flattery.
Who doesn't know that today's Holy Majesty pays the most attention to office efficiency, such a nonsense note, no wonder His Majesty is angry.
He hurriedly leaned over to plead guilty: "My minister is negligent, please forgive me, Your Majesty!"
In fact, when the first emperor was still alive, there was a Zhongshu Order in the court, and the ministers had to go through the Zhongshu Order before submitting the imperial case.
Books like this are usually thrown into the garbage dump by Zhong Shuling to eat ashes.
However, after the establishment of the new dynasty, Lou Yu withdrew the Zhongshu Ling, and directly submitted a response table to the imperial case.
The power of Zhongshu Ling is quite large, and Lou Yu has no one he can trust yet.
The new dynasty is not stable, so he must pay attention to everything.
But it also breeds this kind of attempt to flatter the Holy One.
Lou Yu said indifferently: "Your bureaucrats did not do their job properly. You, the Minister, are to blame. You will be fined for one month. The one who played the watch, asked him to rewrite a letter and submit it. If it exceeds a hundred words, let him He should go home early."
Xue Qi: "I obey the order!"
He hasn't been working for a month yet!
After Xue Qi left, Feng Erbi handed over warm tea.
"Your Majesty, take a break."
Although there are indeed many matters to be resolved urgently in the establishment of the new dynasty, he is really worried about His Majesty's health.
Lou Yu breathed a sigh of relief, drank a cup of tea, leaned back on the chair and closed his eyes to rest.
"Wake me up after a stick of incense."
Feng Erbi suggested: "Why don't you go to the couch in the inner hall and take a rest for a while?"
Lou Yu didn't respond.
It is already asleep.
Feng Erbi quietly stepped out of the hall and waited, to prevent anyone with short-sightedness from disturbing His Majesty.
Just as he was thinking, a figure appeared not far away.
Feng Erbi took a closer look and found that it was Sanmo.
Since becoming the leader of Anbu, Feng Sanmo has been dressed in black all year round.
It's midsummer now, the sun is scorching hot, Feng Erbi feels hot just looking at it.
He took a few steps forward and gestured to Feng Sanmo.
Feng Sanmo nodded, and stood on the porch with him to wait.
The two brothers hadn't chatted for a long time because they were busy.
Feng Erbi glanced at him: "Did things go well?"
"No." Feng Sanmo looked down at the ground.
"Then why are you so unhappy?"
Feng Sanmo glanced at him: "I don't."
Feng Erbi smiled: "I'm your brother, I can tell what you're thinking at a glance."
"..."
"Tell me," Feng Erbi bumped his shoulder, "what's the matter?"
Feng Sanmo pursed her lips and shook her head.
As Lou Yu's close attendant, Feng Erbi knows a lot of secrets.
He contacted him back and forth, and then asked in a low voice, "Aren't you worried about losing your job?"
Feng Sanmo: "..."
His elder brother is sometimes confused, and sometimes very smart.
Feng Erbi couldn't help laughing: "Are you worried that the former organization of Yuanwei will rob you of your job?"
The royal family has an organization dedicated to collecting intelligence, and it has been established since the founding of Dasheng, and its influence in the capital is much deeper than that of Anbu.
This organization is loyal to Lou, what if His Majesty thinks Anbu is useless?
Feng Sanmo was indeed a little worried.
But one thing is very strange, His Majesty has already ascended the throne, why hasn't that organization expressed allegiance to His Majesty?
He had misunderstood the organization.
It's not that they didn't show their allegiance, it's just that Lou Yu didn't respond to them.
At the end of June, most of Xie Ce's body had recovered, and he was able to get out of bed and walk around.
When Tong was happy, he took a car to Ziyun Temple to fulfill his wish.
Xie Xin died, and Xie Ce inherited the title of Ning Enhou.
The title is descended from generation to generation. According to the etiquette system, Xie Ce should be Bo Ning Enbo.
But thinking of the meritorious service of the Xie family, Lou Yu specially allowed Xie Ce to inherit the Marquis, and the Marquis of the Xie family could continue for three more generations.
This reward is enough for the Xie family.
Tong Shi is now the old matriarch of the Hou Mansion, living a peaceful and leisurely life.
Since the Taoist priest rescued Xie Ce, she became more devout towards Ziyun Temple.
After entering the temple, she generously donated incense money.
Thinking that Mao'er hadn't married yet, she planned to ask the Taoist priest about the marriage.
"Faithful believers, please stay."
A priest called her to stop.
Tong Shi turned around, and seeing the other party, she couldn't help being slightly taken aback.
If she remembers correctly, this Taoist priest seems to be an excellent disciple of Guanzhu Qinghe.
She has only seen it from afar, and has never had the opportunity to come into contact with such a fairy character.
Why did the other party take the initiative to come to the door?
On the sixth day of June in the second year of Jiaxi, Emperor Zhaoqing received congratulations from his clan relatives and officials in the Guangde Hall.
After court congratulations, Emperor Zhaoqing issued several imperial edicts.
One is to honor the royal family.
Respect the father as the Supreme Emperor, respect the mother as the Empress Dowager, enshrine the eldest sister Lou Quan as Princess Jingping, and the second sister Lou Ling as Princess Ningxuan.
Yuewang Louzong made great contributions to eliminating the rebellious party, so he was specially named the King of Zhennan.
The second way is to reward the meritorious officials.
Huoyan was granted the title of Dingguo Duke and concurrently the post of Grand Marshal of the World's Soldiers and Horses.
He appointed Yang Guanghuai as the left minister and Fan Yusheng as the right minister.
The remaining officials were sealed in turn.
The three ways are amnesty for the world.
After the edict was read out, everyone's legs were numb.
The enthronement ceremony finally came to an end.
The world is set for the first time, and a thousand wastes are waiting for prosperity.
Lou Yu didn't want to waste time, so he immediately called a group of ministers to a meeting in the Hall of Qinzheng.
"In the past few years, the people of my Dasheng have often encountered wars and chaos, and they have been unable to live in peace. Now that the society is initially settled, I plan to formulate a policy to calm the people so that the people can rest and recuperate."

Wei Si, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, took orders respectfully.
"The Ministry of Finance will count the treasury accounts as soon as possible, and then report to me."
Lou Quan obeyed.
"The Ministry of Industry immediately drew up a construction plan based on the damage to the city walls and fortifications in various places."
Lu You, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, accepted the order.
"In addition, the state capitals that were severely affected by the disaster will reduce or exempt taxes for three years. After the above reports are summarized, we will formulate corresponding assistance policies. These things must be implemented as soon as possible!"
All the ministers said in unison: "Observe the order!"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, there are only [-] troops in the northwest now, should there be more troops?"
There were originally [-] soldiers in the northwest, but Tang Cheng successively dispatched [-] soldiers in an attempt to conquer the world, but now there are only [-] left.

"You mean, they can continue to be stationed in the northwest?"
"Yes."
Lou Yu asked again: "There are still many Tang Cheng's confidants among the captives, what should they do?"
"Those who voluntarily surrender can be kept; those who are passively captured can be killed."
It is impossible for Huo Yan to keep someone who has a different heart.
Lou Yu nodded, inspected the ministers, and asked: "The Northwest is now vacant. Who do you think can be the commander of the Northwest?"
Without even thinking about it, Duan Heng said: "This minister thinks that Ding Guogong can take on this task."
The rest of the ministers agreed.
Fan Yusheng said with a smile: "The Huo family once made great military exploits in the northwest, and the two generals Huo Yi and Huo Shun still have their prestige. If Duke Ding goes to garrison, the army's morale will be stabilized."
He said, pulling Yang Guanghuai together: "Mr. Yang, do you think so?"
Yang Guanghuai looked at Huo Yan calmly, coughed lightly, "I don't understand military affairs."
Fan Yusheng: "..."
Lou Yu couldn't help but bend his lips, thinking that Yang Guanghuai was still as interesting as before.
He then asked Huo Yan: "What does Huo Aiqing think?"
Huo Yan fixedly looked at him: "I only listen to His Majesty's orders. However, I think that during these few battles, there have been many good talents in the army. If they are allowed to garrison the northwest, the northwest will be like a tiger with wings added."
The previous sentence means: I am willing to do whatever you want me to do.
The latter sentence means: But I still hope to send someone else.
Lou Yu felt sweet in his heart, and said with a serious face: "I know, I will think about it carefully."
After the ministers continued to discuss some government affairs, Lang Ping, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, saw the opportunity and said:
"I would like to report to Your Majesty, I believe that the world is stable now, and there is no wave in the world. Your Majesty is in the prime of life, is he recruiting beautiful women, filling the harem, and spreading branches and leaves for the royal family?"
He used to be the magistrate of Jizhou, but now he has been transferred to the capital as the Minister of Rites.
He had nothing to do with the enthronement ceremony, but he didn't expect the first incident to stab the hearts of two people.
Lou Yu has worked hard in the past few years, and has never been involved in female sex. Because his great career has not been accomplished, everyone only thinks that he has no intention of doing this.
Now that he is the emperor and his career is established, he is about to start a family.
The rest of the ministers echoed.
Fan Yusheng said: "At present, the post is vacant, and many noble women from aristocratic families in Beijing are all good-looking, so it's better..."
"How old is Fan Xiang?" Huo Yan suddenly interrupted him and asked in a deep voice.
Yang Guanghuai took a step back silently to avoid being accidentally injured.
Although Fan Yusheng was interrupted, he didn't feel any annoyance, and replied: "Fan is twenty-two this year, why did Duke Ding ask this question?"
"Has Fan Xiang ever been married?" Huo Yan asked back.
Fan Yusheng said: "Naturally not. However, whether Fan is married or not has no impact on Jiangshan Sheji, whether or not His Majesty has any children is a matter of Guozuo."
Huo Yan couldn't refute for a moment.
He knew that what Fan Yusheng said was reasonable, and he also knew that Lou Yu must be in a difficult situation right now.
As a courtier, he has no reason to refute.
Lou Yu said warmly: "The new dynasty was established at the beginning, and I still don't have the energy to do these things. But when it comes to this, I remembered that there are still the late emperor's concubines in the palace, how should they be arranged?"
The subject was turned cleverly.
Yang Guanghuai immediately answered: "Your Majesty, I believe that God has the virtue of good life, and Emperor Huai is also kind and generous. The concubines in the palace are all young, so it is better to send them out of the palace and return to their homes so that they can start their lives again."
None of these concubines were pregnant, they were in their prime, and they were dying alone in the palace, so it's better to let them go out of the palace to find another way out.
Lang Ping frowned lightly and said, "But this is against etiquette."
How could the late emperor's concubines return to the common people?
Although Fan Yusheng disagreed in his heart, he didn't speak. He just glanced at Yang Guanghuai and understood why he said that.
When His Majesty was still in Gyeongju, he abolished the divorce system. It is impossible for everyone not to understand the profound meaning.
Not only did Gyeongju textile factories have thousands of female workers, but other state capitals also continued to build new government-run textile factories, drawing on the technology of Gyeongju's large hydraulic spinning wheel and recruiting many female workers.
Apart from textile factories, female workers gradually appeared in other factories or industries.
Led by Gyeongju, the status of women in Eight States has been continuously raised.
With the improvement of women's status, these concubines will no longer be the same as before, either buried with them or going to the nunnery to clean up.
At least, the Majesty in front of him would not agree to such a treatment.
Yang Guanghuai said earnestly: "Shang Shu, don't be so narrow-minded. Have you forgotten the edict read out by His Majesty at the enthronement ceremony?"
"what?"
"Amnesty for the world." Yang Guanghuai said with a smile, "All the criminals in the prison can be released, but these innocent concubines can't. How can there be such a reason?"
Lang Ping: "..."
It seems... makes sense.
He acquiesced in this matter, and changed the subject again: "Your Majesty, at the beginning of the new dynasty, is it necessary to add Enke and select officials to fill the vacancy in the court?"
Lou Yu was very interested in this matter, nodded and said: "The imperial examination is related to the country, and I will draw up a draft later, so you do it. Enke will be set after the autumn harvest."
"The minister obeys the order."
"By the way, there is one more thing that needs to be done by the Ministry of Officials." Lou Yu said.
The Minister of the Ministry of Officials is called Xue Qi. He was originally the Minister of the Ministry of Officials. He was one of the officials who greeted him at the city gate.
The former Minister of the Ministry of Officials took refuge in the Tang Party, and fled the capital on the eve of the Qing army's entry into Beijing, and Xue Qi took over the position of Minister.
Xue Qi bowed and saluted: "Please give orders, Your Majesty."
"When I was in Gyeongju, Gyeongju and the eight prefectures had a special system of official documents. The Ministry of Officials spread this system to all departments of the central government and various local government offices and county offices as soon as possible. Before the end of the year, all public offices across the country, There has to be a change from the old to the new.”
Xue Qi had never been in Bazhou, so he didn't understand this new system very well, so he said: "Forgive me for being dull, I implore Your Majesty Xu Chen to study the new law in three days."
"Naturally, Mr. Yang and Fan Aiqing will assist you."
"I will obey your orders!"
After the important government affairs were dealt with, all the ministers left the Palace of Qinzheng and went to work in the yamen.
Li Shu came to report at the right time: "Your Majesty, King Zhennan is seeking an audience outside the palace."
He has been following Lou Yu since the farm, and has always been loyal and open-minded, so Lou Yu named him Marquis of Weiyuan and made him the commander of the imperial guards, in charge of both inside and outside the imperial city.
Lou Yu said without raising his head, "Let him in."
After a while, Lou Zong entered the hall to meet Lou Yu.
Lou Yu said with a smile, "Uncle Wang, I'll give you a seat."
Lou Zong was not too polite, he sat down cheerfully and said: "Even if Your Majesty doesn't grant a seat, I have the cheek to ask for one, I really don't need this old bone!"
"Uncle Wang is at the peak of his age, why do you say that?" Lou Yu asked in surprise.
Lou Zong laughed, "To be honest, I have fought a few battles in the past few years and injured my body, so I plan to enjoy life in peace and stability in the future."
"I'll let the imperial doctor take a look at it for you later."
"No need," Lou Zong waved his hands, "It's not a serious problem, just take care of it."
"That's good," Lou Yu no longer insisted, and asked, "I don't know why Uncle Wang wants to see me?"
Lou Zong went straight to the point and said: "I raised my troops back then because I felt that the world was not at peace. Now that Your Majesty loves the people like a son, he is talented and generous. What else should I worry about? There are still many young and strong men under my command, and I have no time to control them. Your Majesty, please help me!"
Even Lou Yu couldn't help admiring what he said.
It can be said that Lou Zong is quite knowledgeable about current affairs.
The vassal king holds a heavy army, no matter which emperor will be afraid.What's more, Lou Yu himself is a typical example of a vassal king's great achievements.
Wouldn't he take the initiative to hand over his military power now, and wait for Lou Yu to cut it later?
Lou Yu is not Emperor Zhengqian and Emperor Jiaxi, Lou Zong has self-knowledge.
But if he just handed over the military power dryly, perhaps Lou Yu would have to decline.
After all, he made a great contribution to eradicating the soup thief.
If it wasn't for Lou Zong's restraint, Tang Cheng directly assembled an army to attack Lou Yu, even if Lou Yu could win, he would probably suffer heavy casualties.
You can't chill the hearts of heroes as soon as you ascend the throne.
But now that Lou Zong begged him to help take over, how could he refuse?
"Uncle Wang doesn't want to take care of them anymore. There are so many young and strong people who can't be let loose. It's better than this. Right now, the whole country needs labor. I will hire them to work for the court. I will ensure that they have no worries about food and clothing."
Putting this group of people outside can easily become an unstable factor. It is better to recruit them as laborers to support the post-war reconstruction work of various states.
Lou Zong was overjoyed and hurried to thank the emperor for his kindness.
"Uncle Wang is too polite, there is no need to be polite."
Lou Zong said with a smile: "There is one more thing. Your Majesty takes care of all kinds of opportunities every day and does his best for the people of the world. I don't have much ability, but I want to express my heart."
"Uncle Wang, please speak."
"The minister discovered a gold mine in the territory of Yuezhou before, and it was the gold mine that recruited those young and strong ministers to work hard for him. Now that the world is stable, the gold mine should naturally be taken over by the imperial court."
With such a generous gift, even Lou Yu couldn't help his heart skip a beat.
That's a goldmine!
Lou Zong's kindness really pleased him.
His complexion became softer and softer: "The national treasury is empty, I have the audacity to accept Uncle Wang's kindness."
Lou Yu felt that the title of Zhennan King was not enough to match Lou Zong's contribution, so he asked, "I don't know if Uncle Wang has ever invited you to be a prince?"
"Not yet, it's been delayed for a few years." Lou Zong knew the elegance after hearing Xiange, "Please also ask Your Majesty to take care of my ineffective eldest son."
"What's the matter?" Lou Yu smiled, "Apart from the eldest son, Uncle Wang also has a second son and a daughter under his knees, right?"
"Indeed."
"I'm going to confer the titles on both of them as King Kang and Princess Duanyi, how about that?"
Lou Zong's smile became stronger: "Thank you, Your Majesty, Long En!"
Of course he is happy that the titled county kings and princesses are higher than those without titles.
After meeting Lou Zong, Lou Yu met many clans and ministers one after another.
It is worth mentioning Cheng Da.
Cheng Da made great contributions to the king this time, and Lou Yu named him Cheng Yingbo and ordered him to continue stationing at the border of Jizhou.
He won a title, and came to bid farewell to Lou Yu beamingly.
Also said one thing.
"Your Majesty, I have nothing to do these days. I chatted with the Northwest Army prisoners. I have something to report to you."
"what's up?"
Cheng Da said: "They said that the military advisor next to Tang Cheng is very powerful. After being a criminal minister, he was dispatched to the Northwest to serve as an army. Tang Cheng reused him, so he changed his name and surname to become a military advisor."
Lou Yu, the military adviser, knew about it.
Tang Cheng died, but the military division survived the chaos and became a prisoner. Now he should be under Huo Yan's control.
"You mean, maybe he helped Tang Cheng rebel because he had a grudge against Lou's court?"
Cheng Da nodded: "But this is not Weichen's idea, Mr. Wen guessed it."
"I get it, you go back first."
After Cheng Da left, Lou Yu summoned Feng Sanmo and asked him to thoroughly investigate the military division.
As Tang Cheng's confidant, the military adviser has not been killed so far, which shows that he voluntarily surrendered.
If he really resented the Lou family and assisted Tang Cheng in overthrowing the Lou family, why did he surrender after the defeat?
Surrendering to the enemy is not like the opponent's style.
Unless, he has a more important task than life to complete.
The new emperor has ascended the throne, the government orders are in order, and public offices across the country are operating efficiently.
After summarizing the reports from various ministries and localities, Lou Yu held another meeting in the Hall of Qinzheng.
The negative impact of the war is too great.
For the disaster-stricken state capitals, the imperial court will allocate special funds for relief to appease the affected people.
"In addition to special funds, we have to organize craftsmen to build the destroyed city." Lou Yu confessed, "If there are problems such as manpower and material shortages, other state governments can support them."
Lu You, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, said, "Your Majesty, please make it clear."
"Organize support groups in various places to ensure the optimization of resource supply efficiency. For example, Gyeongju has iron, Cangzhou has grain, Jizhou has coal, and other prefectures have different resources. It is better to integrate resources and help each other .”
Of course, Qing, Cang, and Ji prefectures help other state capitals, which is called poverty alleviation.
Lu You understood.
He looked excited and said: "The state capitals that were seriously affected by the disaster this time are Kunzhou, Fengzhou, Tongzhou, etc. These states are in urgent need of support. The reconstruction work requires a variety of raw materials. As far as we know, Kunzhou is rich in limestone , Fengzhou is rich in wood, and the two can provide raw materials to each other, and other states can follow suit."
Fan Yusheng also praised: "Good idea."
You can't wait for the support of the imperial court and other state governments, right?Always work hard.
And this effort was done willingly.
Lou Yu said with satisfaction: "The Ministry of Industry has combined the situation of each state to carry out overall planning. Everyone divides the work and cooperates to improve efficiency, so that the common people can live a stable life as soon as possible."
All the ministers admired Lou Yu even more.
With such a British Lord who cares about the people, why should Dasheng not be prosperous?
One policy after another was sent from the central government to the local government, and then quickly implemented on the people.
The common people were overjoyed to get the benefits, they knelt down and bowed towards the capital.
With a new dynasty and a new atmosphere, Lou Yu is so busy that he can't even drink his saliva.
He opened a memorial, and the more he looked at it, the more he frowned.
"Erbi, call Xue Qi to me."
The office of the Sixth Department is in the imperial city, and after a while, Xue Qi hurried to the Palace of Qinzheng.
"My humble servant greets His Majesty!"
Lou Yu's eyes were stern: "I asked you to urge the public office to learn the new official document system before, why is there such a long-winded note?"
What a waste of his time!
Feng Erbi handed the excerpt to Xue Qi, and Xue Qi couldn't help but get dark when he saw that the excerpt was full of flattery.
Who doesn't know that today's Holy Majesty pays the most attention to office efficiency, such a nonsense note, no wonder His Majesty is angry.
He hurriedly leaned over to plead guilty: "My minister is negligent, please forgive me, Your Majesty!"
In fact, when the first emperor was still alive, there was a Zhongshu Order in the court, and the ministers had to go through the Zhongshu Order before submitting the imperial case.
Books like this are usually thrown into the garbage dump by Zhong Shuling to eat ashes.
However, after the establishment of the new dynasty, Lou Yu withdrew the Zhongshu Ling, and directly submitted a response table to the imperial case.
The power of Zhongshu Ling is quite large, and Lou Yu has no one he can trust yet.
The new dynasty is not stable, so he must pay attention to everything.
But it also breeds this kind of attempt to flatter the Holy One.
Lou Yu said indifferently: "Your bureaucrats did not do their job properly. You, the Minister, are to blame. You will be fined for one month. The one who played the watch, asked him to rewrite a letter and submit it. If it exceeds a hundred words, let him He should go home early."
Xue Qi: "I obey the order!"
He hasn't been working for a month yet!
After Xue Qi left, Feng Erbi handed over warm tea.
"Your Majesty, take a break."
Although there are indeed many matters to be resolved urgently in the establishment of the new dynasty, he is really worried about His Majesty's health.
Lou Yu breathed a sigh of relief, drank a cup of tea, leaned back on the chair and closed his eyes to rest.
"Wake me up after a stick of incense."
Feng Erbi suggested: "Why don't you go to the couch in the inner hall and take a rest for a while?"
Lou Yu didn't respond.
It is already asleep.
Feng Erbi quietly stepped out of the hall and waited, to prevent anyone with short-sightedness from disturbing His Majesty.
Just as he was thinking, a figure appeared not far away.
Feng Erbi took a closer look and found that it was Sanmo.
Since becoming the leader of Anbu, Feng Sanmo has been dressed in black all year round.
It's midsummer now, the sun is scorching hot, Feng Erbi feels hot just looking at it.
He took a few steps forward and gestured to Feng Sanmo.
Feng Sanmo nodded, and stood on the porch with him to wait.
The two brothers hadn't chatted for a long time because they were busy.
Feng Erbi glanced at him: "Did things go well?"
"No." Feng Sanmo looked down at the ground.
"Then why are you so unhappy?"
Feng Sanmo glanced at him: "I don't."
Feng Erbi smiled: "I'm your brother, I can tell what you're thinking at a glance."
"..."
"Tell me," Feng Erbi bumped his shoulder, "what's the matter?"
Feng Sanmo pursed her lips and shook her head.
As Lou Yu's close attendant, Feng Erbi knows a lot of secrets.
He contacted him back and forth, and then asked in a low voice, "Aren't you worried about losing your job?"
Feng Sanmo: "..."
His elder brother is sometimes confused, and sometimes very smart.
Feng Erbi couldn't help laughing: "Are you worried that the former organization of Yuanwei will rob you of your job?"
The royal family has an organization dedicated to collecting intelligence, and it has been established since the founding of Dasheng, and its influence in the capital is much deeper than that of Anbu.
This organization is loyal to Lou, what if His Majesty thinks Anbu is useless?
Feng Sanmo was indeed a little worried.
But one thing is very strange, His Majesty has already ascended the throne, why hasn't that organization expressed allegiance to His Majesty?
He had misunderstood the organization.
It's not that they didn't show their allegiance, it's just that Lou Yu didn't respond to them.
At the end of June, most of Xie Ce's body had recovered, and he was able to get out of bed and walk around.
When Tong was happy, he took a car to Ziyun Temple to fulfill his wish.
Xie Xin died, and Xie Ce inherited the title of Ning Enhou.
The title is descended from generation to generation. According to the etiquette system, Xie Ce should be Bo Ning Enbo.
But thinking of the meritorious service of the Xie family, Lou Yu specially allowed Xie Ce to inherit the Marquis, and the Marquis of the Xie family could continue for three more generations.
This reward is enough for the Xie family.
Tong Shi is now the old matriarch of the Hou Mansion, living a peaceful and leisurely life.
Since the Taoist priest rescued Xie Ce, she became more devout towards Ziyun Temple.
After entering the temple, she generously donated incense money.
Thinking that Mao'er hadn't married yet, she planned to ask the Taoist priest about the marriage.
"Faithful believers, please stay."
A priest called her to stop.
Tong Shi turned around, and seeing the other party, she couldn't help being slightly taken aback.
If she remembers correctly, this Taoist priest seems to be an excellent disciple of Guanzhu Qinghe.
She has only seen it from afar, and has never had the opportunity to come into contact with such a fairy character.
Why did the other party take the initiative to come to the door?
