"Empire Hegemony" Chapter 1300
The imperial capital, side hall of Qinzheng Hall.
Emperor Chen Zi'ang is here to formally receive several chief ministers who have returned from other places.
According to the new establishment of the empire, the major government offices established during the war will be abolished, and the system in which the imperial court directly manages the provinces will be restored.
?The chief executives of the major political affairs will be transferred to the court departments, so Song Zhi, Zheng Song, Miao Cai, Pang Lun and others are also ordered to report to the imperial capital.
As the chief executives in charge of several local provinces, these few can be regarded as officials among the imperial civil servants, with high positions and weights.
What the empire has taken over now is a complete mess, with a lot of waste waiting to be done. Chen Ziang also needs to rely on these civil servants to catch the people's livelihood, restore production and life as soon as possible, and stabilize the rule of the empire.
Therefore, Chen Zi'ang personally summoned these chief ministers who had returned to the imperial capital. In addition to listening to their work reports, he also wanted to have a heart-to-heart talk with them in order to appoint new positions.
Just as Chen Ziang was talking with the chief ministers of state affairs in the side hall of the Qinzheng Hall, Yuan Pu, the chief aide, walked in hastily.
Yuan Pu, as Chen Ziang's staff in charge of various affairs, knew that Chen Ziang was meeting with local officials, even if someone wanted to see him, he would block them, so as not to affect Chen Ziang's meeting with ministers.
Now Yuan Pu hastily broke into the side hall, Chen Ziang knew that something important must be happening, so he stopped talking and cast a questioning look.
"what happened?"
After the staff member Yuan Pu stood still and saluted, he nodded slightly to the several administrative affairs chiefs, which was an apology for the impoliteness of rushing in.
"Your Majesty, Mr. Du, the Director of the Intelligence Investigation Institute, Mr. Qin, the Director of the General Affairs Department, Mr. Cao, the Director of the Military Intelligence Department, and Mr. Li, the Chief of the Ministry of War, have urgent requests to see you." Staff member Yuan Pu clasped his hands and replied.
Hearing that the four high-ranking and powerful persons in charge collectively asked for an interview, Chen Ziang was also taken aback, knowing that it must be a big deal.
"Let them come in." Chen Ziang ordered.
"No."
After Yuan Pu responded, he hurriedly turned around and headed out of the hall.
"Dear dears, let's come here today. You have been exhausted from the journey, and rest in the imperial capital for a few days, and then I will make arrangements for myself."
After Yuan Pu turned to leave, Chen Zi'ang turned his head and said to these chief ministers.
"The minister is waiting to leave."
Song Zhi and the others also knew that Chen Ziang had important matters to deal with, so they all took their leave and left.
Soon after Song Zhi and others left, Li Qiye, Qin An, Du Jian and Cao Shaowei arrived hand in hand.
"what's going on?"
After the four of them stood still and saluted, Chen Ziang asked.
"Your Majesty, a major event has occurred in the imperial capital, and the ministers are unable to decide. I am here to ask Your Majesty for instructions."
After Qin An and the others looked at each other, Qin An finally reported.
"What's the big deal, let's talk about it in detail."
"No."
"Your Majesty, this is the flyer that appeared in the streets and alleys of the imperial capital last night. Please have a look at it, Your Majesty."
When Qin An was speaking, he took out a thick stack of leaflets from his arms and presented them to Chen Ziang.
"The Qinghe army is brutal and bloodthirsty, seizing people's houses, killing people!"
"The Qinghe Army raped tens of thousands of girls into the barracks to reward the soldiers!"
After seeing the words on these leaflets, Chen Ziang's complexion suddenly sank.
Chen Zi'ang asked the businessman Wu Zhenrui to be in charge of running the post newspaper and taught him movable type printing.
Now movable type printing has been widely used in the empire, so leaflets and the like no longer need to be transcribed, but printed directly, which is very efficient and convenient.
Chen Ziang didn't expect that someone would print these leaflets slandering the Qinghe army and post them widely.
"How did you handle it?"
After Chen Ziang put down the leaflets slandering their Qinghe army, he raised his head and asked.
"Your Majesty, I have ordered the Ministry of War and the Intelligence Investigation Institute to send people across the city to collect leaflets and find out who is behind the scenes." Qin Andao, chief of the General Affairs Department.
"Well, this must be a slanderous attack on us by the remnants of the previous dynasty. You must pay more attention to it, and you must not let them control public opinion." Chen Ziang instructed.
"The mastermind behind the scenes, no matter who they are, will be strictly dealt with, and the printing houses that printed and distributed these leaflets will also be strictly investigated to the end!"
"CanLet the post newspaper immediately publish an article to clarify, and denounce the slander against our Qinghe army, so as to set the record straight. "
In Chen Zi'ang's view, this is another battle on the battlefield of public opinion, so he attaches great importance to it and personally gave suggestions.
"I will implement them one by one when I get back." Qin An also agreed.
"Your Majesty, there is a reason why the remnants of the previous dynasty suddenly distributed leaflets widely." Qin An continued.
"oh?"
Chen Ziang originally thought that Qin An and the others were just reporting the leaflet, but he didn't expect that there were other secrets.
"Tell me in detail."
"Your Majesty, now that the world is in balance, the imperial capital has become the governing body of our country. Countless soldiers of our Qinghe army have gathered in the imperial capital to buy houses and real estate. Merchants from various provinces have also flocked here, causing the imperial capital to be in short supply."
"After investigation, yesterday one of our deputy army commanders took a fancy to a businessman's house, sent someone to forcibly plunder the businessman, and beat the businessman to death. His wife hanged herself after being insulted. At that time, there were many people watching. Now It has spread throughout the city, causing extremely bad effects."
"The remnants of the former dynasty took the opportunity to disseminate, exaggerate, and spread rumors that we were going to capture countless young girls into the barracks to reward the soldiers. Now the city is full of storms, and countless people want to escape from the imperial capital."
Qin An also explained the cause and effect of the incident one by one, and Chen Ziang's face sank after listening.
He thought it was a public opinion attack on them by the remnants of the previous dynasty, but unexpectedly, there was a reason for it.
"Who is so daring to despise military discipline!" Chen Ziang scolded angrily.
"This person is Han Feng, the deputy commander of the Third Field Army." Li Qiye, the chief of the Ministry of War, replied.
"Asshole!"
Chen Ziang never expected that it would be this veteran deputy army commander.
"He can be regarded as an old man of our Qinghe army, how could he act recklessly like this!"
Hearing that Han Feng, the deputy commander of the army, did it, Chen Ziang also cursed angrily.
You must know that Zhou Ba, the head of the First Banner, Lu Fatzi, the head of the Ninth Banner, and Han Feng, the head of the Twelfth Banner, were the three main trump cards of the Qinghe Army.
Although Hanfeng's Twelfth Banner Regiment was later reorganized by the Black Mountain Uprising Army, it is still a veteran compared to the various units that were later merged into the Qinghe Army.
And Han Feng was promoted from the head of the Twelfth Banner to the deputy head of one of the three main field armies, and Chen Ziang also regarded him highly.
This time, in the power structure of the empire, Chen Ziang also wanted to promote Han Feng, the deputy commander of the army, to the actual position of commanding the first army, and was going to succeed Hu Ziyang as the commander of the fifth field army.
And Hu Ziyang will be transferred to the Ministry of War as the deputy chief. After all, it is safer for the army to be in the hands of his own people.
But at this juncture, Han Feng, the deputy commander of the half direct line, did such a thing, which made him extremely disappointed.
And now Chen Ziang also understood why Qin An, Li Qiye, Cao Shaowei and Du Jian came together.
After all, the person involved in the case is a dignified deputy army commander, and he is also an influential deputy army commander, so it is naturally difficult for them to deal with.
If this matter is not handled well and is manipulated by someone with a heart, it is very likely that the rest of the generals will say that Chen Ziang killed the donkey. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
