Deposed all special treatments of the royal family and royal family, except for those who have made meritorious people, all property will be confiscated, including the royal palace, imperial village, palace, inner treasury, and major royal palaces, public residences, and manors. A common house will be left for the family to live in. Common people regard it.

The only one who has made meritorious in the royal family is Princess Xuanzhen. Qin Qing granted the title, manor, manor, land, etc. of Princess Xuanzhen, and only needed to clear the land and pay taxes in accordance with the law. However, Princess Xuanzhen no longer accepted the title of princess on the grounds that she had become a monk and worshipped the Tao. She voluntarily demanded that the princess mansion and the estate of the manor under her name be given away, and only retained a Yuying Temple as a place to accommodate her.

Qin Qing agreed to the request of Princess Xuanzhen and gave her 30,000 new coins. Li Xuandu named him Yuying Zhenren, and was ranked alongside Feiyuan Zhenren Yan Feiqing, Wanshou Zhenren, Taiwei Zhenren, and Sanxuan Zhenren.

In addition to Yuying Zhenren, Shangguan Wan, the lord of Qixia County, also gave up his identity as a royal clan and expressed his concession to the Qi Prince's Mansion, and Li Xuan both named him Qixia Zhenren. In addition to these two people, other people who have made contributions in Taoism will be awarded the title of a real person in the future.

After Yuying accepted the name of the real person, he closed his door to thank the guests, causing many royal families who wanted to find Yuying to clear their relationship back to no avail. These people naturally scolded Yuying for being stingy.

The other royal families and nobles were all unsuccessful people. They would be deprived of their titles, confiscated their mansions, land and property, and only an ordinary house was left for their family members to live in. They would then be regarded as common people.

After Qin Daoyuan saw the royal family and nobles, he did not say much, but only told two stories.

One is the experience of the Li royal family in the late years of the Great Qi Dynasty. After three large-scale massacres, one out of ten remains.

One is the shame of Bingwu in the late Jin Dynasty. The Jin tent army captured the capital of Dajin and captured a large number of Zhao royal family, harem concubines, noble ministers, court officials, etc., including the emperor, and escorted northwards. The empress, concubines, and princesses. , wife and princess all became prostitutes. A blacksmith could buy a duke's wife for only a few taels of silver. There were many nobles who starved to death.

This was not fabricated by Qin Daoyuan, but a well-known historical record. Therefore, the nobles of the Great Wei royal family were all pale, fearing that Liaodong would also follow suit.

Qin Daoyuan said that although Liaodong will not preferential treatment for the royal family members of the previous dynasty and will only regard them as a commoner, it will not harm, slaughter or torture the royal family members of the previous dynasty for no reason.

Qin Daoyuan also specifically explained the word "no reason". Any old story of the royal family members who commit crimes are allowed to sue the officials for exposing the matter. Once verified, they will be investigated and investigated according to the law. If they should be imprisoned, they will be imprisoned, and if they should be exiled, they will be exiled. If you should confiscate your house, you should confiscate your head. If you should be beheaded, you should be beheaded. This cannot be regarded as harm or torture.

To put it bluntly, Liaodong must do everything in a clear way, whether to kill you or not, or why you are killed, you must be clear, reasonable and not do private things, which is to be open and upright.

These royal nobles and others never take other people's lives seriously. No one has a lawsuit for life, let alone various acts such as clever robbery. Hearing this, he was shocked. Although Liaodong did not take action by himself, it forced them to death, and someone immediately objected loudly.

Qin Daoyuan responded with only one sentence: "This is not a discussion, but a decision. If you don't follow, you will use the law to judge the crime."

At this moment, a princess stood up and whispered: "If you want to kill someone in Liaodong, you will kill someone directly. Why should you hide it so much? She became a woman in a brothel and wanted a chastity archway."

As soon as these words came out, the whole hall was quiet.

Qin Daoyuan was not angry, but said, "If you are innocent, how can you say that you kill someone? If you are guilty, why can't you punish them according to your crime? Which law and ancestral teaching of the Great Wei state said that princes and nobles can break the law without being severely punished? Today we act according to the law, what does it have to do with the chastity archway?”

The princess was speechless.

Qin Daoyuan continued, "Some of you who knew that the law had violated the law in the past and were not severely punished. They just rely on power and protect each other, not the law's permission. Now they are severely punished and investigated old cases, and will not wrongly a good person, nor will they let a bad person go. I hope you can do it yourself."

After saying that, Qin Daoyuan ignored these royal nobles and stood up and left.

However, these royal nobles could not leave. They also had to follow the officials and officials from Liaodong to return home, check their own property, and hand it over to the state treasury, then move out the original luxurious residence and into ordinary houses in the inner city. From now on, they will no longer be princes, kings, dukes, or mausoleums, but just ordinary people.

On the other hand, Qin Qing met with many surrendered officials headed by Mei Shenglin and Huo Sishi in Yuqing Garden. Qin Qingqing gave his own conditions in the morning. After the identification of officials at all levels, except for the traitors and evil people, the rest of the people who stayed and stayed freely and were willing to return to their hometowns. Those who are willing to stay shall use it as appropriate.

The so-called use as appropriate is mostly downgraded. After all, it is a dynasty change. There are also many people from Liaodong who follow the dragon, and they will definitely dominate the temple in the future. However, the two sides hand over and many key yamen, and people from Liaodong may not be able to take over quickly. If you need the assistance of Mr. Wei Ting, the best way is to demote the past officials and become an affiliate of Liaodong officials.

Among them, Huo Sishi and Mei Shenglin can be considered half of the heroes. Qin Qing was very kind to the two of them and said that they would still be allowed to serve as a minister, although they did not have much power to serve as ministers of the Ministry of Works and ministers of the Ministry of Rites. , but they still flattered the two of them and thanked them repeatedly.

As for the other four ministers, Qin Qing also made arrangements. Zhao Zheng and Qin Daoyuan were his right-hand men. As early as in Liaodong, one person was in charge of personnel affairs and the other person was in charge of finance. Now it is natural that the Di Tian official and the Di official Minister of Personnel and the Di official Minister of Revenue. Next is Qin Xiang served as the Minister of War as the honor of a general, and Jing Xiu served as the Minister of Justice. The cabinet members were also appointed by the Secretary of the Six Ministry, with Zhao Zheng as the chief assistant and Qin Daoyuan as the secondary assistant. Hu Liang was also appointed as the governor of Liaodong, in charge of the military and political power of the three prefectures of Liaodong.

The rest are such as Dali Temple, Tongzheng Envoy Department, Censorate, Taipu Temple, Yuanma Temple, Qingluanwei Governor's Office, Five Army Governor's Office, Guanglu Temple, Honglu Temple, Hanlin Academy, Imperial College, Zhanshi Mansion, The specific appointments of the officials of Shangbaosi, Taichang Temple and the Six Ministers will be decided by the cabinet.

In addition, Qin Qing also announced that eunuchs were not allowed to interfere in politics, and the twenty-four yamen headed by the Silijian returned to their original functions. As for the original eunuch Yang Lu, the chief eunuch who was in charge of the seal, Qin Qing planned to make full use of the goods and let him take charge of the Qingluan Guard General's Office.

Generally speaking, Qin Qing planned to inherit the system of the Great Wei court, but he had to make some changes in details, such as normalizing the governor, governor, and general officer who were originally only temporary positions, becoming a formal official with a clear rank, and continuing it. Zhang Suqing's reforms abolished the system of vassal kings guarding the local government, gave the princes the power to participate in politics, and replaced eunuchs with royal families and military officers to suppress and balance the power of civil servants. Qin Qing even intended to completely abolish the eunuch system and reduce the size of the palace. He had only one of them himself. My wife and a daughter really don’t know what it’s useful to have so many eunuchs, but the situation is not yet determined and there are so many things that I can’t take care of these details and can only stay for the future.

After Qin Qing met these surrendered ministers of Wei Ting, the next few days were the elderly in Liaodong who took turns to meet Qin Qing, and they all came for the same thing.

Now that the Emperor of the Great Wei Dynasty, Xu Yihou, has been deposed, and the country cannot be without a master for a day, then there should be a new king.

There is no doubt that Qin Qing is the new king, which involves major issues such as Dingguo title and the enthronement of the crown prince.

In ancient times, with a few exceptions, most of the national names were named after the place names that were granted. Qin and Qing dynasties started their careers in Liaodong, and people also said that the Liaodong army was like this, so some people suggested that the country name was "Liao", which was the Great Liao. Qin Qing rejected this proposal because the three prefectures of Liaodong are Youzhou, Fengzhou and Liaozhou. Liaozhou borders the Jinguan, Youzhou is close to the pass, and Fengzhou is located between the two prefectures. Although it is collectively called Liaodong, Qin The foundation of the family is in Youzhou.

As the saying goes, the land of Youyan, the Murong family raised an army in Longcheng and used "Yan" as the national name, so someone proposed to use "You" as the national name, and Qin Qing agreed to it.

In this way, the new dynasty officially set the country name for Dayou.

As for the queen and the crown prince, Qin Qing decided to keep everything simple, and made Bai Xiushang the queen, and tentatively appointed his third brother Qin Daofang as the crown prince.

Because Qin Daoyuan and Qin Qing are not much older than Qin Qing, they are already a person who knows the destiny of heaven. Maybe they have to take one step ahead of Qin Qing, while Qin Daofang is only in his forties and is the youngest.

As soon as the news came out, Qin Daofang refused to accept it and rushed to Yuqing Garden in person to meet Qin Qing, and expressed his concerns. One is that he has no son and no one will inherit him in the future. The other is that his brother Qin Dao is far ahead, and his elders are in order. He never surpasses the principle that his brother has made him the crown prince, which is a traitor.

Qin Qing could not do so, so he had to decide to change Qin Su as the imperial daughter. With the precedent of Empress Mingkong, Confucians were no longer able to speak out later. In addition, Qin Su was not only Qin Qing's daughter, but also Li Xuandu For a moment, no one dared to object.

Qin Su couldn't help but complain, not wanting to be the crown princess, but Li Xuan even persuaded her to stop.

Li Xuan did not object to Qin Su as the Crown Princess, because Qin Qing still has more than 40 years in the world, and there are too many variables in it. It is possible that Qin Qing would have another son, but Qin Su might just use it. In terms of transition, after all, Qin Su is not Qin Su in the "world chess game", and the situation cannot be generalized. Qin Su will eventually return to the Taoist sect.

...

On the ninth day of the sixth month, Qin Qing left Yuqing Garden and entered the imperial capital. The next day, he held the throne ceremony in the southern suburbs outside the imperial capital. The country was named "You", the Yuan Dynasty was established, and the "Zai" was changed to "Nian", and the Baixiu was enthroned. Shang was the queen and Qin Su was made the princess.

In the first year of Taiping, on June 12, Qin Qing issued the "Edict to the Central Plains" and appointed Qin Xiang, the Minister of War, as the general, and led an army of 250,000 to Zhongzhou, Luzhou, Chuzhou and Jingzhou.
