Forced by the Zhen Guo Gong behind Prince Xian and the military power held by Zhen Guo Gong behind him, the "winebags and ricebags" dared not speak out.

Qianghua was too lazy to talk to these people, "The Duke of Zhenguo."

The Duke of Zhenguo took a step forward, cupped his hands and said, "I'm here."

"Lock Zhao Heng and his concubines and heirs into the sky prison, keep them under strict supervision, and deal with them later." Qianghua ordered.

Lord Zhen Guo: "Yes."

The concubines and princes wanted to beg for mercy or curse, but their mouths were immediately covered and dragged away.

The concubines were immediately pale with fear, and the princes were also frightened. However, no matter how hard they struggled, they could not escape the control of the guards and were quickly taken away.

Zhao Heng, on the other hand, looked like he couldn't recover, and was taken away with a confused look on his face.

How could his dream of being an emperor be shattered after just one banquet?

Qianghua: "Where is the Minister of Rites?"

An official who had a long knife held to his neck said with a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, I'm here."

Qianghua: "Drawing the decree, the emperor realized that he was lacking in talent and passed the throne to his younger brother Zhao Xian."

"Ah?" The Minister of Rites was stunned. The corner of his mouth twitched a few times, and he swallowed. After thinking about it, he should be considered a hero if he knows the current affairs.

Kneel down and kowtow, "Yes, Your Majesty."

As soon as these words came out, many eyes fell on him, shocked and stunned, as if it was the first day they met him.

You, the Minister of Rites, fell down so quickly? !

The Minister of Rites returned to where he was just now. When he saw his colleagues looking at him strangely, he couldn't help but smile bitterly. He didn't want to be so ungrateful, but his sword really didn't have eyes!

Thinking of this, the Minister of Rites closed his eyes and began to think about how to write the edict to abdicate and "make way for the wise" in his mind.

Qianghua: "Dong Zhen Guo, please lead people to clean the capital from top to bottom."

"Sister-in-law, I will leave this palace to you." Qianghua said.

After receiving the order, the Duke of Zhenguo and the Queen got busy with their people.

Naturally, the ministers and family members in the palace would not let them leave now. They had to wait until Duke Zhenguo had cleaned up before letting them leave.

So the queen, no, Cui Wan asked someone to send bedding over, and let everyone make do with it for one night.

When it gets light the next day, the two nearest palaces are cleared out, and the ministers and their family members are sent to these two palaces according to their gender.

The ministers and their family members stayed in the palace for three days. During these three days, many ministers were taken away by the guards. For a while, people were panicked.

Three days passed, and at dawn on the fourth day, Cui Wan and his men released the ministers and family members.

When they were sure they could leave, the ministers looked at each other and found that the usual corrupt officials and people who were selling their jobs to gain titles were gone.

The most missing ones are the officials promoted by the former emperor Zhao Heng, but the heads of the six departments have not been moved. They were all left by the late emperor to assist Zhao Heng, but they were not allowed to be reused during Zhao Heng's reign. Fortunately, Zhao Heng They knew the importance and did not dare to dismiss them at will, which is why they stood where they are today.

For a moment, the ministers breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, Prince Xian's mind is still online and he does not deal with people based on his likes and dislikes, which is not a sign of mediocrity.

Cui Wan smiled and said to the ministers who were obviously in a lot of embarrassment after being imprisoned for three days, "Your Majesty has decreed that the morning court will be resumed tomorrow."

The ministers were not sure what Cui Wan's status was now, so they treated her with the same respect as before. After bowing, they found their respective families and supported each other towards the palace gate.

The soldiers guarding the three steps and one post made them realize the reality. Now Prince Xian has two-thirds of the military power of the entire Dayong, or even more. He also has the support of the Duke of Dayong, the war god of Dayong, and other places. Even if the vassal king wanted to rebel, he had to see if his sword was sharp enough to hold the government.

Prince Xian’s destiny has been achieved!

Seeing this, the ministers quickly gave up their struggle.

They have only two options now, either continue to work for Prince Xian, or resign and return to their fields.

But they are used to being high-ranking ministers, used to holding great power, and they have offended many people during their time as officials. How dare they let go now before the next generation rises?

It is said that there are two ways, but for many people, there is only one way to go.

The ministers each returned home. After three days of hanging around, they finally calmed down. After reluctantly cheering up their worried family members, they went to wash up and rest.

The success of Prince Xian's rebellion did not cause much complaint to the royal family members except that they were a little frightened. Anyway, Prince Xian's surname was Zhao and he belonged to his family. No matter what, he could not kill his family. Already?

Therefore, the clan members were very thoughtful and had even thought about how to hug the new emperor in the future.

Little did they know that Prince Xian was already poaching the Zhao family.

……

Morning next day.

Officials were already waiting in the palace at early morning.

It wasn't until Maozheng that Prince Xian came out of the side hall, with a dark face and an unhappy look on his face.

The officials immediately fell silent, and the sound of a pindrop could be heard throughout the hall.

Since the enthronement ceremony has not yet been held, the officials still call themselves Prince Xian. This was agreed upon from the beginning. In this way, even if Prince Xian is dissatisfied, no one will be blamed.

They have been officials for many years, and they still have a bit of backbone. They always feel that Prince Xian is a bit of a loser if he calls him emperor without holding a coronation ceremony.

Dog-legged Minister of Rites: "..."

As they expected, Prince Xian was not angry, and his dark face had turned expressionless. Although he was not much better, at least he didn't look scary, as if he was about to drag an official out in the next second. Just like cutting it.

Qianghua sat on the dragon chair, and it took her a long time to calm down her depressed mood after getting up early. First, she ordered Zhao Heng and Cui Wan to reconcile and separate, allowing Cui Wan to bring her son and heir home.

Then Zhao Heng and the other heirs were demoted to common people and imprisoned in the imperial palace outside the city. The same treatment was done to the palace concubines who already had children. There was also an army taking turns to guard the palace. From then on, these people ate, drank and drank. They will have to rely on themselves to be self-sufficient.

If the concubines are childless, they are allowed to return home. If they are unwilling, they can also go to the royal Zhuangzi to spend the rest of their lives.

To Qianghua's expectation, none of these childless concubines wanted to go home. So after Qianghua saw that there was no one who had bullied Zhao Mingzhu here, she arranged for them to go to another imperial palace. It's not far from her unfinished garden, and maybe these people can still work for her in the future.

Next comes the addition of officials.

She got a lot of officials at once this time, and now the main hall is not full. Fortunately, after the imperial examinations, there are many officials on the waiting list. Within three days, Qianghua has enough time to find someone to find out their character. How many officials have been ordered? After taking an important position, let the officials arrange the rest.

At the same time, each department is also allowed to make recommendations on its own, and if there are suitable people, they can be recommended.

The officials were allowed to win over their connections in such an open and honest manner. For a moment, all the ministries did not dare to act rashly. They all couldn't help but wonder, was Prince Xian fishing with a hook?

So the ministers scolded Prince Xian for not being a good person in their hearts, while pinching their noses and pulling at those officials who were usually good at doing things but were not on the same page as them.

Prince Xian's rebellion did not affect the common people, and allowed many low-level officials to rise to the top. Except for those whose interests were violated, others were happy to hear about it and moved closer to Prince Xian.

Then the courtiers reported on the people's conditions in various places and what major events happened in various places.

Qianghua didn't know much about court affairs, but it didn't matter. As a boss, she just needed to know how to employ people.

So she told her the final result she wanted, and then whoever reported it would be responsible, and she made the plan and submitted it as early as possible.

Worried that their plans were not clear, organized and beautiful enough, Qianghua also gave the officials proofs of the plans, and then she saw their sad eyes as expected.

Qianghua feels comfortable.

So she said, "Starting from tomorrow, the morning morning time will be changed from the beginning of the morning to the beginning of the morning to five o'clock." She really couldn't get up at five o'clock in the morning!

The ministers looked at each other, and then responded in unison: "Yes."
