Because he is a monarch, he can ask the courtiers to give him such a list.

Because he personally conquered the 50,000-strong Wala army and was victorious, his power was at its peak. No one would object to his request now. After all, no matter what age, only those with big fists have the ability to speak.

But one thing can be said that the situation was not arranged by Zhou Yu himself, that is, what Liu An did all the way back to the capital was as stupid as a fool.

Trouble in the court and disturb the morale of the army. To put it simply, he made the most obvious move to stand in line when he least should have. The key is that he only stood in line himself and encouraged others to stand in line with him, lest the world would not be in chaos.

It's almost as if he just fired off a firecracker to celebrate that he was on the right side.

If this guy had done this at other times, especially after the war had calmed down, it might not have had such a big impact, and there would probably have been more officials interceding.

But the situation is different now. It is now a wartime to disturb the morale of the army. It is a capital crime. What's more, the death of Baozong is a basic fact that has been accepted by the court. Even if it is to be resurrected, it will be a matter of the future. However, Liu An, a fool, yells that the emperor

Even before he died, he was granted the title of Marquis. If it was true as he said, what would happen to Zhou Yu who is now sitting on the dragon throne?

The emperor could not sit on the throne while Zhou Yu was still there. Sitting on the throne would be treason...but Zhou Yu felt that it was impossible to rebel, so the only person with the problem was Liu An. Liu An was the one who intended to rebel and promoted rebellion.

People, then Liu An is not just a simple death penalty, even if it is to kill the Nine Clan, it is enough.

So Yu Qian immediately arrested Liu An. He didn't even have time to write a note to Zhou Yu and wait for a reply before he sent people to arrest Liu An. The cabinet also had the same idea. This was also to stabilize the court and the army and not let him

Liu An brings more ups and downs.

But Yu Qian's speed was still a little slow. It would be easy to intercept and catch him outside the city, but now Empress Dowager Sun, Empress Qian and even the late emperor's cronies and some people who are not clear about the situation are also there.

Liu An begged for mercy, and the matter immediately became a storm in the city. Now even the people in the capital were discussing whether the late emperor died in the battle.

What Yu Qian didn't expect was Zhou Yu's sudden action. The emperor in dragon robes sat down on the dragon chair and beat everyone with a few words. But Yu Qian probably didn't need to wait for the war to end soon.

There will be a bloody storm hanging over the heads of the former emperor's party members.

"Everyone is busy, what are you doing standing here? The food and grass statistics have been done? The casualties of the soldiers have been calculated? How much money is left in the treasury and how long will it be used? How much tax money will there be next year? What are the plans? It's really unclear.

If you have something to do, hurry up and write a note. To what extent have things been implemented in Xinling? There are so many things and you are just standing in front of me in a daze?"

Only then did the trembling ministers dare to disperse to do things. They seemed to be more focused on their own affairs than before. They were facing everything in and out, but they just didn't want to face the seemingly calm Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu waved his hand and looked at the folders on the table. Many of them had been processed by the cabinet, and only a few of them had not yet been processed. When Zhou Yu saw them, he handled them and asked the cabinet to send them back to various places.

After dealing with the pieces, Zhou Yu stood up and looked at the large sand table. He looked at the deployment that would be adjusted according to the latest news. It was probably that not long ago, all the Oara army chess pieces representing places outside Juyong Pass had been taken down.

, what is placed there now is the chess piece of Ming Dynasty.

And it only takes at least one day for this cavalry force to arrive at Yu County and wait at Feihu Pass, or cooperate with the Zijingguan garrison to continue to compress the scope of action of Ye Xian's troops and completely drive Ye Xian's 100,000 troops to death there.

.

This is what Zhou Yu asked Yang Hong and Luo Tong to do before returning to Beijing. They should do whatever it takes and don't care about the courtesy of the great power. Whether it is preventing fires or burning mountains, poisoning or creating plagues, anyway, all the people must be killed.

Use all means of war to reduce the losses of your own family and kill Wala Qingzhuang as much as possible. It is best to kill all the troops led by Ye Xian.

Originally Zhou Yu was planning to lead people to do it, but now he can only let Yang Hongluotong and two people do it. However, there are young nobles who want to restore the family's honor. Even if Yang Hongluotong may take it into consideration, those

The young nobles who only thought about making meritorious deeds could not distinguish the importance. Zhou Yu gave them ways to make meritorious deeds and revitalize the family, and they only had to do the rest.

Not to mention the army he led first, even the captured Zhou Yu did not intend to let these people go. There was no such thing as the demeanor of a big country or the courtesy of a big country in his place.

Not against the outside world, nor against the enemy. The most effective thing against outsiders and enemies is always the force that can crush everything.

As long as you have this force in hand, the surrounding countries will definitely become very polite. Even if Ming Dynasty does not want to be polite, they will kneel down and ask you to be polite to them.

What's more, Zhou Yu doesn't intend to let the war reach this point. In the short term, the war can end with killings, but in the long term, Zhou Yu will definitely take the initiative to attack Wala to completely eliminate this hidden danger. When the time comes, he will use Ming officials to go there.

Manage, go there to graze, go there to raise horses.

As for those Oara people who are willing to surrender to the Ming Dynasty, they will all move inland and build cities in designated places, so that they will no longer have the possibility of contact with horses and iron tools. At least they can survive by farming and raising silkworms. If they don't agree, they will be dishonest.

For serving, killing or distributing, the peninsula in the southeast is a good place, and the island country in the southeast is also a good place.

But it may take several years of development and stability for Zhou Yuzhuo to achieve this, not to mention that the Ming Dynasty is now facing more than just Wala, there are more internal problems that need to be dealt with.

Japanese pirates in coastal areas, rebellions in the south, daily harassment in the west, empty treasury, serious floods, and even food shortages, there are too many problems that need to be dealt with.

Objectively speaking, Emperor Jingtai and Yu Qian and other ministers in history really turned the tide and extended the life of the Ming Dynasty for at least a hundred years. It took a few years to extend the life of a Ming Dynasty that had to face so many problems for more than a hundred years. Emperor Jingtai

To the world and to the Ming Dynasty, I can only make merit and no fault.

But the worst thing Emperor Jingtai did was not being ruthless enough. If he was ruthless enough to kill the prince first and then the queen mother, he would directly send people to Wala to negotiate, bribe the generals of Wala to kill the Baozong, or find a reason to burn him down.

Wherever Baozong lives, the problem can be solved fundamentally.

Just like Li Shimin in the Tang Dynasty, he dared to act and kill without fear of others' opinions. If he showed his courage, maybe the Ming Dynasty would really go in another direction.

And all the emperors who followed the Baozong lineage still had some problems.

Zhou Yu just doesn't care what the history books say. He doesn't care about his reputation. Even if some people say he is a tyrant or a coward, he doesn't care. What impact will other people's words have on him?

Of course, this is from Zhou Yu's perspective, but for these people in today's world, reputation and honor are also very important.

There are too many problems that need to be solved, but Zhou Yu understands that all problems can be solved with enough force, but raising a strong army requires money, so in the final analysis it is still a question of money.

After looking at the sand table, Zhou Yu came to stand in front of the map of the Ming Dynasty, looking at this map that was somewhat different from the modern era and pondering it carefully.

Nowadays, the Ming Dynasty has not completely gone on the defensive, so there is still some external maritime commerce. However, currently, it can be said that it is the imperial court that controls maritime transportation, but some families along the coast. However, the royal family is also doing the same thing.

The business is very profitable.

However, the royal family does not make the most money in it. There are many wealthy merchants in the Ming Dynasty, and naturally they have a lot of money. However, it is a bit unfair to enjoy the care of the Ming Dynasty and wear the skin of the Ming Empire but not distribute the money to the Ming Dynasty.

It's so suitable.

The chieftains in the west have always been a serious problem for the Ming Dynasty. Although the Mu family has been guarding Yunnan, the effect is not obvious. From Xuanzong to Baozong, the two generations have actually given up there, relying entirely on the Mu family.

There are also good generals who are working hard to support the face of the Ming Dynasty in the west.

There is actually not much difference between those people in the west and the Wala people. They will also attack and harass the border towns of the Ming Dynasty, and they will also slaughter the people of the Ming Dynasty. The only thing here is slightly better than the Wala people is that they will not be casual.

If you leave the mountains, you will not come to the Central Plains.

Zhou Yu looked at the map and had a lot of thoughts in his mind. These thoughts can only stay at the level of thoughts for the time being. Otherwise, even writing them down may cause an uproar. There are many things that he can only do step by step. But when this battle is over, finally

The most important thing is to rebuild the three major battalions, one that only obeys the emperor's orders.

This will also be a brand new three battalions, which will be the most advanced and powerful army of the Ming Dynasty. Zhou Yu has experience in doing this.

It will take several years to complete this matter, and Zhou Yu must be stable for several years. No matter how things are done, the most stable method must be adopted for the governance of the country, and the rebellion in the south also needs to be dealt with as a priority. It just so happens that Zhou Yu also

I plan to use the suppression of the rebellion to enrich the national treasury.

After staying in the Wenhua Palace for a while, Zhou Yu got up and left, returned to the harem and went directly to the palace where Empress Dowager Sun and Empress Qian lived together.

Since Zhou Yu entered the palace and became the emperor, Queen Qian was moved to the Queen Mother Sun. The Queen Mother Sun was banned and could not come and go freely. However, Queen Qian had not been banned before, so Zhou Yu could see her in the palace of the Queen Mother.

she.

Zhou Yu rarely manages matters in the harem, and the Empress Dowager helps him look after it. However, the Empress Dowager has no control over the situation now, and Zhou Yu also plans to abolish Wang Guifei.

Hang's abilities are lacking, and her personality is not strong enough. She is not a good candidate for the queen, but she is the biological mother of the current emperor's only son. Normally, if the princess cannot be the queen, she will basically be the other princess who gave birth to the son.

Of course, this is not the most normal situation, and Zhou Yu will not let the most natural situation happen.

After stepping through the vermilion palace gate and walking in, Zhou Yu suddenly realized that the sky had already darkened and lanterns were lit everywhere in the palace.

"What time is it?"

Cheng Jing, the chief steward of the palace behind him, said respectfully: "Your Majesty, it's almost Haishi."

"Is this the time?"

Zhou Yu shook his head. It was close to nine o'clock in the evening, which was still very early in modern time, but in today's era, it was already very late.

Zhou Yu turned around and left without continuing in. It was indeed very late at this time and it was not convenient to disturb him. He just came to chat with Queen Mother Sun and did not want to cause any other trouble. He accidentally stayed in the Wenhua Palace.

It's been too long. If you want to see Queen Mother Sun, you can only see her tomorrow.

Zhou Yu suddenly spoke: "The man who often comes in and out of the Queen Mother's Palace."

Cheng Jing quickly said: "Xu Bin, he is still locked up in the sky prison."

"Bring the person to the imperial study room."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Zhou Yu went to the Imperial Study Room, drank some tea and played with the chessboard pieces. Soon Xu Bin was taken to the Imperial Study Room.

His beard was unkempt, his hair was messy, and his blue robe looked extremely oily. He looked like he had been in jail for a long time.

But if you just look at his face, you can tell that Xu Bin was definitely a handsome guy when he was young. Even now, he is a middle-aged handsome guy. He has a good temperament. At least he didn't kneel on the ground because he was suddenly brought over.

But you still have to kneel. There is still a difference between kneeling on the ground while being pressed hard by two guards in uniform, and kneeling on your own.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! It is normal for such people to have a bit of backbone. Maybe after Xuanzong dies, no one will let Xu Bin kneel down. Of course, Empress Dowager Sun will be a guest.

It is also possible that he is the guest of Empress Dowager Sun, which is something that not everyone can afford to offend.

Zhou Yu put down the chess piece in his hand and looked at the person who was pressed on the ground. He took a sip of tea without panic and dissatisfaction, and waved his hand to let the two Jinyi guards retreat: "Xu Bin."

Although Xu Bin looked embarrassed, he still advanced and retreated reasonably. He raised his head and replied calmly: "He is a grassroots man. Xu Bin, a grassroots man, has met His Majesty."

"Grandfather, you are still a commoner." Zhou Yu laughed and said, "How can a commoner frequently enter and exit the palace and the Queen Mother's palace? Don't lie to me. Do I know that you are a remnant of the calamity and a sinner?"

, how can you contact the Queen Mother if your sins have not been pardoned, and how can you frequently come in and out of the Queen Mother's palace."

Xu Bin said calmly: "How can I, a common citizen, have the right to enter the Queen Mother's palace? Your Majesty was deceived by a villain, and the common people do not recognize the Queen Mother."

"Don't you know?" Zhou Yu nodded lightly: "I believe what you said. If you say you don't know me, then you don't know me. Originally, I wanted to give you a chance to meet the Queen Mother. After all, you and the Queen Mother's childhood sweethearts are related.

It would be good to have the opportunity to see each other one last time. The Queen Mother has become ill due to longing for her and has been dying for a while now, so forget it if we don't know each other."

"Cheng Jing."

"I'm here."

Zhou Yu clapped his hands and stood up: "Send Xu Bin to Wala."

"Wala..." Cheng Jing was stunned for a moment: "Is your Majesty talking about Wala?"

"Yes, just leave him to him first and leave the others alone." Zhou Yu looked at Xu Bin with a half-smile, and said: "It might be a reward, right? Xu Bin, after all, you can help there.
