A few months have passed by in the blink of an eye. It seems that a lot of changes have taken place in a few months, but if I want to talk about it in detail, I don’t know where to start.

Above the court, it was still the same as before, with the Taiwei, the General and the Prime Minister jointly assisting the government. The emperor still sat on the dragon throne as a mascot and basically did not express any opinions.

However, there were a few more officials in the court, headed by Taifu Xie Chong, plus a few new faces who should not have appeared in the court. Except for the new Taifu who was almost standing next to the dragon chair, the rest of the officials

People are also ranked last among the courtiers like little transparent ones.

Whenever various government affairs were brought up for discussion, Xie Chong could be seen walking to the edge of the dragon chair with his head lowered and saying something. However, except for Zhou Yu asking a few questions about things he was interested in, the rest were all right.

, the general is right, the prime minister is right.

Zhou Yu would not reject the proposals made by Guang Guang, Liu Yuan or Liu Wei in front of the ministers. He did not suppress the three of them because of Xie Chong's arrival, but continued to establish the authority and status of the three.

But after the court, once Zhou Yu directly calls the three of them away, it means that Zhou Yu is dissatisfied with something at the court, and the three of them will follow him to the imperial study room, and they will

Come up with a new solution and implement it, it seems that a certain tacit understanding has been formed.

Of course, smart ministers can see something, and the officials who can stand in the court may be upright and impulsive, but there are few who are not smart. If they are not smart, they will not have the chance to stand in the court.

There is no shortage of people loyal to the emperor in the court. Zhou Yu can see some things clearly, and there is no shortage of people who deliberately sideline Liu Yuan when there are disputes in Caoguang. Although he is not in charge of the affairs of the court, he still

Or keep everything in your own hands.

Sometimes even Xie Chong didn't understand what Zhou Yu was thinking. After all, in Xie Chong's view, although Zhou Yu was young, he had three ministers and even him, the Taifu, who fully supported and assisted him, and he was knowledgeable.

With the cooperation of six people with extensive knowledge and profound knowledge, they are actually fully qualified to take back the power and directly govern.

Even if they are not completely pro-government, they can still intervene in government affairs to prevent the three of them from having such great power.

But Zhou Yu didn't do this, and all government affairs were still handed over to the three of them, Guang, Liu Yuan and Liu Wei. He did not ask about the appointment and promotion of officials. So if anything happened, he would let Xie Chong and other seven people from the secretariat handle it.

People follow up and report at any time, and it seems that they really just understand.

Zhou Yu kept consolidating the status of the three of them, Xie Chong really didn't understand why.

And Xie Chong knew that Zhou Yu was not unaware that there might be a situation where he could not get rid of his tail, nor was it lack of ability, it was purely intentional.

After a few months, in addition to the changes in the court, there was a group of guards in brocade robes embroidered with flying fish and bullfights. They guarded the palace even more tightly inside and outside. In addition, the imperial guards

Due to the personnel changes, even the general Liu Yuan has completely lost his influence over the palace guards.

Zhou Yu felt that this was the first thing he should do after becoming the emperor, that is, to use all means to bring the palace under his control. If he could not even ensure his own safety, the palace would be controlled by others.

If so, then even if he is not a puppet now, he will be sooner or later.

Anyway, in Zhou Yu's view, now he truly has the foundation to live longer, but there are still more things to do next.

However, the establishment of the Jinyiwei was completed long ago. After Zhao Changshi returned to his hometown, the Jinyiwei was established in the shortest possible time. It was established in full accordance with the regulations given by Zhou Yu, put on uniform uniforms, and also joined the palace.

patrol guards.

However, only half of the two thousand Jinyi Guards are in the palace now, and the remaining half have been sent out by Zhao Teng. One is to collect information on the capital and nearby areas, and the other is to find talents for Zhou Yu, especially

He is a talented craftsman, and a man like Xie Chong who is well-read in poetry, loyal to the emperor, patriotic, and good at speaking.

Zhao Teng remembered clearly that when Zhou Yu established the Jinyiwei, he told him that the Jinyiwei must become the emperor's eyes and ears, so he used his own initiative to unify all the big and small things that happened in the capital and surrounding towns.

, and then deliver it to Zhou Yu’s desk every day.

After having Jin Yiwei, Zhou Yu truly gained a better understanding of more situations in this world through the book handed in by Jin Yiwei.

This day was another morning court, and Guang Guang and Liu Wei quarreled again in front of the courtiers. This was not the first time the two had quarreled and argued in front of the courtiers. Zhou Yu would always do it calmly.

He said a few words, but this time Zhou Yu did not do so.

The cause of the matter was that Liu Wei did not know where he got a piece of news. It was that a certain aristocratic family had exchanges of letters with the enemy country in the south. This matter is not big or small, but it is actually a relatively normal situation in this era. A

The aristocratic family has branches in both the north and the south, and there is even business. The exchange of letters is not worth making a fuss about.

However, during a certain customs inspection, maps related to the military deployment of the country were found in the goods, so Zhou Yu ordered a strict search of the house and followed the clues to catch everyone on the line.

If this matter is true, there is no doubt that this aristocratic family has committed treason, and confiscating their homes and killing the nine tribes is just their normal result.

On the contrary, Guang Guang believed that it was not appropriate to start a big war and not to involve too many people. It might force those aristocratic families who were not aware of it to join forces to rebel. He could first capture the first culprit and then make a long-term plan.

Originally, this was a non-controversial matter. Just confirm that the other party was treasonous and just take it down. However, the two of them had differences in how to handle this matter based on different considerations. Is it a staged difference or is it real?

Differences are not something that ordinary people can understand.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Zhou Yu did not get along this time, and his face was full of serious expressions.

No matter in any era, treason and rebellion are extremely serious matters. Not only is the matter itself serious enough, but the consequences are also serious, not to mention that it is a family with extraordinary influence and power in this era.

Already.

Once it is not handled well and the implication is too large, it will indeed happen that multiple aristocratic families join forces to rebel, as Liu Guang is considering. According to Liu Wei's words, it is definitely not feasible to follow the example and apply it across the board. There is no need to consider whether there are innocent people among them.

It's just that the matter itself may involve too much.

But according to what Guang Guang said, it is not appropriate to only kill the first culprit, because it is absolutely impossible for only one aristocratic family to send people to figure out the defense plans of the border cities. It is definitely possible to achieve it through the cooperation of multiple aristocratic families.

It is not easy to distinguish or investigate, and this matter should be done quickly rather than slowly. It must be swept away directly with the force of thunder to ensure safety.

Zhou Yu knocked on the table with his hand. When Zhao Teng saw it, he screamed: "Quiet!"

When the court was quiet, Zhou Yu said: "I agree with what the Taiwei said about this matter. It is not appropriate to involve too many people in a war. Except for the culprit, other people close to him will be investigated in detail. If they are confirmed to be accomplices, they will be captured directly and then exposed."

Report to those aristocratic families that are related and suspected, and ask the heads of these families to bring their legitimate sons to Zhongzhou to personally explain their gratitude to me."

"If you don't come, it will be regarded as a traitor and will be exterminated together. The nine clans will be confiscated and executed. I will give them a chance to escape the crime. Taiwei, general and prime minister, the three of you will arrange it according to my wishes. Once the arrangements are made,

I will wait for you in the royal study before retreating from the court."

"Retreat!"

"Farewell to Your Majesty."

After leaving the palace, Xie Chong, who was accompanying Zhou Yu, asked in confusion: "Your Majesty, the armies of just a few aristocratic families can be wiped out as soon as they arrive. Even if the rebellion can gather tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, they will not be able to do it in front of King Xiao Nanchen.

It’s worth mentioning, why does Your Majesty give these people a chance?”

Zhou Yu shook his head: "The place where business is important must not be disturbed. The place where aristocratic families gather is also a place where commerce is developed. It is only seven or eight days away from the border. It is more appropriate to focus on stability. In fact, Taiwei does not want to preserve these aristocratic families."

, the prime minister is also unwilling to involve more aristocratic families, the two of them are just putting on a good show in front of the courtiers."

"Although you are well-read in poetry and can predict people's hearts, Taifu, you are still a bit simpler than those old foxes. These two people probably already have a plan, so you can just teach them to make their own arrangements." Like movies and TV shows:
