After Gong Zizhen sent Yema Shan out of the house, he thought in his heart. Yema Shan's attitude today was very affectionate. He not only talked sincerely and presented the rebels with his letters to him, but also provided several detailed works in the city that were related to the rebels. Why did Yema Shan not mention these things before, but suddenly mention them today? Such a move must be to win his favor and express his position at the same time. Can Yema Shan be trustworthy? Gong Zizhen thought for a while and felt that Yema Shan's banner made it impossible for him to stand completely in the emperor's reform camp. His current action should be a shock to the strength of the new army's force and the latter act of self-protection. Since this is the case, Gong Zizhen decided to take advantage of this opportunity to let Yema Shan return to Beijing. He took out another imperial edict that the emperor had already written and went to the General's Mansion in Shengjing City.

Ma Shan didn't expect that in a moment, Gong Zizhen came to the door again and came to read the imperial edict. He quickly burned incense and changed clothes to welcome Gong Zizhen into the central hall.

I saw Gong Zizhen slowly unfolding the imperial edict woven in five-color brocade and read it loudly: "In accordance with the will of heaven, the emperor said: I only respect virtue and merit, and the country is so great... General Ma Shan, the general of Shengjing, was awarded the first-class general of the state for his contribution to the suppression of the rebellion, ordered him to return to Beijing to meet the saints and entrusted with important tasks. Shengjing affairs were temporarily managed by the Minister of Army and Minister of War Gong Zizhen. Your wealth is prosperous and you will respect it and do not be lazy. I respect this! The tenth day of the fifth month of the eleventh year of Daoguang (the 19th day of the sixth month of the Gregorian calendar)"

After sending Gong Zizhen out, Ma Shan was in a mess. The emperor was still worried about himself, so he made an advance and secretly surrender, and seized the real power. Whether to go or not, after weighing the pros and cons, Ma Shan decided to go. After all, the new army of nearly 30,000 people were in the city of Shengjing. He had to have more than 17,000 people under his command, and he was still guarding all over Shengjing. There were seven or eight thousand people in the city, Ma Shan dared to challenge the emperor. The next day, Ma Shan honestly summoned the deputy commanders under his command to hand over the power and power to Gong Zizhen, and then took his personal soldiers back to Beijing.

Gong Zizhen temporarily took the post of General Shengjing, appeased the deputy commanders from all over the country, and led the new army north to pursue and suppress the rebels.

"The hour is here, kill!"

As the token of the prisoner was thrown down, a creator wrapped in a red turban raised his knife and threw a black head forward. The prisoner's neck suddenly had a bloody height, and his body was kicked to the ground by the creator's hand. The originally noble head was quickly picked up by a eunuch and placed it in a wooden box containing lime. Under the escort of the guards, the guards quickly sent their heads to the palace.

In just one stick of incense, the wooden box was placed in front of Liu Ji's imperial desk.

The recent situation has prevented Liu Ji from sleeping peacefully. General Yihao of Ulya Sutai reported that the Russians were secretly supporting General Zalona of Yili. Now the two sides have fought several small battles on the grasslands in the northern desert. Most of the princes and princes of the Outer Mongolia tribes are waiting and watching.

"It's time for the master to have a meal. Is it used here?" Seeing that Liu Ji seemed to be frozen in front of the huge world map, Cao Jinxi shouted in a low voice:

Liu Ji turned around and found the wooden box placed on the desk. He said lightly: "Is Su Cheng's head inside?"

"Back to the master, that's right."

"Twist it out, don't put it here."

"twitter."

Liu Ji stretched his waist long and moved his body. He usually relaxed this indecent move when there was no one. This time Yishan resolved a disaster for Liu Ji, which made Liu Ji feel a little relaxed. In order to commend Yishan, Liu Ji decided to add Yishan as the first-class Duke of Zhen in Chongzheng Hall. Of course, the general of Shengjing, Ma Shan, was also commended with him. However, there were rewards and punishments. The punishment was that two hereditary princes and nobles who didn't know that they were the short-circuited nerves a few days ago. They took the slaves in the mansion to yell at rest to restore the Eight Banners, holding kitchen knives and carrying poles, and rushed into the Meridian Gate. More than a dozen people were killed by the guards on the spot, and the remaining hundreds of people scattered in a swarm of birds and beasts. Although Liu Ji did not plan to move another Eight Banners aristocrat in a short time, it would be great if he didn't deal with such a thing.

***************************************

The so-called Chongzheng Hall is the Golden Palace, which is the Grand Palace. It is located in the center of the Forbidden City. The hall is twelve meters high. There is a base of more than one meter high below His Highness. There are steps and eaves in front and behind the base with stone carved railings and pillars, which makes the Golden Palace look tall and extraordinary. In the wide square of the Golden Palace, all officials above the fourth rank in the capital gathered here. They arranged a long and neat team, divided into two groups of civil and military officers, slowly heading towards the Grand Palace according to their official ranks. The roads of the Grand Palace are guarding the royal guards holding axes and halberds on both sides of the road.

Today's court rituals are particularly grand, and Liu Ji did not dare to take out the stools sent by the officials. The music compiled by the Qing official department of the Ministry of Rites made a tinging sound in the hall, and its sound was majestic and pleasant, making the broad and solemn hall even more awe-inspiring. The smoke from the several incense burners in front of the Danbao rose up, covering Liu Ji in a thin layer of light mist, and together with the surrounding treasure vases and cranes, it showed a kind of mystery and majesty.

After all the officials entered the hall, Liu Jie ordered the first imperial edict to be read.

"In accordance with the will of heaven, the emperor ordered: I care about the people of the world and dare not slack off for a day... Now, a province in Zhili has tried to recruit soldiers and reform. This is a policy of rights and interests. It is not appropriate to implement all provinces. In the next ten years, except for Zhili, the old system will remain, and the generals of all places belong to this. I respect this! The first day of the sixth month of the eleventh year of Daoguang (the 9th day of the seventh month of the Gregorian calendar)"

After the imperial edict was finished, Liu Ji paid attention to the expressions of the ministers. It was different from those who knew the imperial edict in advance. Many ministers flashed their joy on their faces, and some ministers had disappointed expressions. These disappointed people were all students who returned from studying abroad. Liu Ji was really helpless. He hoped that this imperial edict could stabilize the situation.

The victims of the farce, Prince Li Quanling and Prince Keqin Chengshuo, were brought up by the Zongren Mansion. As soon as they saw the emperor, they knelt down and kowtowed to mercy, and they no longer had the momentum of that day. Liu Jie asked the Zongren Mansion to publicly read out the punishment for the two in the court. They committed the crime of rebellion and should be executed according to the law. There are many royal members who have come to plead for the two of them these days. Liu Jie thought about it over and over again. Although these two were foolish and had no major harm, if they were sent to the two of them, they would not have the intention to shock everyone. Finally, Liu Jie instructed the Zongren Mansion to remove the two of them, and then expel them from the capital after chasing the house, and placed them in Guangzhou Prefecture for this restless life.
