Volume 3 The Storm Rises Chapter 165 Outside the Palace Gate

Heavenly Sword Temple!

After listening to Liu An's arrangement, Shang Peng and Li Linqian glanced at each other in unison, and both of them saw a trace of worry in each other's eyes, what they were worried about was not Liao Cheng's fate, but about uncontrollable factors, because the Wind Cinema itself is an uncontrollable existence.

Seeing that Li Linqian didn't respond, Liu An asked with a smile, "Lord Li, do you think it's inappropriate for me to arrange it like this?"

Li Linqian woke up in shock, and hurriedly replied: "The ministers don't dare, the Wind Cinema supervises hundreds of officials and strictly enforces the law, so it is naturally the most appropriate to leave this matter to them." ”

Liu An turned his head to look at Shang Peng again, and asked with a smile, "What does Shang Xiang think?"

Shang Peng smiled slightly, clenched his fists and said: "Emperor Shengming, the minister believes that the Wind Cinema will definitely be able to give a satisfactory explanation to the people of Dongming City." ”

Liu An nodded, then took a sip of the tea bowl, and said with a smile: "Then this matter is settled, Li Aiqing, do you have any good suggestions for the construction of the standing army proposed by me?"

Li Linqian frowned, Liu An directly skipped whether to establish a standing army, but asked him if he had any good suggestions, it seems that Liu An has made up his mind to establish a standing army.

"Your Majesty, the matter is very high, and the minister thinks that it is necessary to think about it in the long run, and it must not be hasty. ”

Although Liu An's determination has been undoubtedly revealed, Li Linqian still spoke out against it, not because he had to oppose Liu An, but because he had no choice but to do so; once the standing army was established, inspecting officials in various localities would be a devastating blow to the party of the Empress Dowager.

Regarding Li Linqian's attitude, Liu An had already expected it, and motioned for Xiao Yuanzi to come over to refill his tea, and then said lightly: "In addition to the two points raised at the court meeting, does Li Aiqing have anything else to say?"

Li Lin asked with courage: "Dare to ask Your Majesty, how many people are ready to be formed in the standing army?"

Liu An pondered for a while, and then said: "The 10,000-person artificial system, the chief and deputy generals of the unified army are set up, and they are supervised by the internal government, and at the same time, the Supervision Department is set up, and the second grade seal is awarded, and the right to break off the yamen in various places is given." ”

Li Linqian was shocked, and the sweat on his forehead flowed down unconsciously, it seems that Liu An has been planning for a long time, this is to set aside the military department, and then set up a royal private army to inspect the world for the emperor.

Li Lin stabilized his mind and continued to ask, "Your Majesty, isn't this a conflict with the duties of the Wind Cinema?"

Liu An smiled faintly and did not answer Li Linqian's question, but glanced at Shang Peng and motioned for him to answer.

Shang Peng understood, and said to Li Linqian: "Lord Li, this move has no conflict with the Wind Cinema, and it can even be said to be complementary to the Wind Cinema, the Wind Cinema sits in the imperial city, and has not set up branches in various states, Your Majesty's move just shares the pressure on the Wind Cinema, if the standing army finds that the local officials have illegal acts, it will be handed over to the Wind Cinema for investigation in the end." ”

"This... Li Linqian couldn't find any other reason to oppose it for a while.

Seeing this, Shang Peng immediately stepped up his efforts and said: "Lord Li, Your Majesty can be said to have good intentions, and he has worked hard for the country and the people. ”

Li Linqian stood up, hugged his fist at Liu An and said: "Your Majesty, the establishment of the Standing Army involves a wide range of activities, and the Household Department, the Criminal Department, the Military Department, the Ministry of Officials, the Inner Government and other institutions are inseparable from it, and even Ling Sheng Tianxing, the Heavenly Sword Academy can intersect with it, and I hope that Your Majesty can listen to the opinions of more ministers before making a decision." ”

Li Linqian knew that if Liu An and Shang Peng were allowed to continue talking, then in the end they would definitely force themselves to express their position, so he had to move out of various departments and euphemistically told Liu An that he couldn't be the master alone, and today's conversation ended here.

Liu An's eyes flashed, it seemed that today's persecution was not effective, so he picked up the tea bowl and said: "It's not too early, let's stop here today, Shang Aiqing, Li Aiqing, the matter of the standing army still needs to be able to come up with a practical plan by the Senate, and it will be discussed at the court meeting tomorrow." ”

Shang Peng and Li Linqian bowed down to receive the order, and then withdrew from the Tianling Palace.

Xiao Yuanzi walked to Liu An's side softly, changed a bowl of tea for Liu An, and said: "Your Majesty, it's a good day today, it's not so stuffy, do you want to move the Imperial Garden to review the chapters?" I just heard from Xiaolu'er that the pansies in the courtyard are in full bloom. ”

"Oh?"

Liu An stood up, looked at the willow trees swaying with the breeze outside the window, his face was filled with a happy smile, and he instructed Xiao Yuanzi: "You go to Yunfang Hall to invite the Heavenly Maiden, and I invite her to visit the Imperial Garden together." ”

Xiao Yuanzi bowed down and smiled: "Obey the order~"

......

"Sure enough, it is worthy of being the imperial city of Dacheng, compared with Dongming City, I don't know how many times bigger. ”

Hu Yu strolled on the crowded street, watching the tall buildings on both sides of the street, and from time to time he had to stop and admire a few words, looking like a full of dirt buns entering the city, but in this Qixia City, people like Hu Yu didn't know how much, so Hu Yu's actions did not attract people's attention.

Coming to the inner north gate and looking at the towering city tower, Hu Yu couldn't help but sigh: "Such a majestic city, how difficult it is to break through." ”

Hu Yu shook his head and secretly clenched his fists, one day, he would make the owner of this city kneel in front of him and tremble and beg for mercy, so that he could forgive him for the wrong decision he had made to his family.

After passing through the inner north gate, Hu Yu walked in the direction of the palace, he wanted to see the only person he cared about in this city, he wanted to tell that person Liu An's true face, he wanted to say sorry to that person, it was he who didn't take good care of her little sister.

Hu Yu walked along the wide moat river, looking at the gold brick palace wall opposite, and he didn't know what kind of world was behind the palace wall.

Came to the majestic palace gate, looking at the familiar armor of the guards in front of the palace gate, Hu Yu's eyes showed a glimpse, it was these people who took Zhen Siqi away in the first place, arrogant and domineering is the impression that these people left on Hu Yu.

Hmmm~Hmmm~Boom

Just as Hu Yu was walking towards the palace gate, three sharp arrows broke through the air and nailed to the road where Hu Yu was walking.

A group of heavily armed Praetorian Guards quickly rushed out of the palace gate and surrounded Hu Yu in the center, and one of the leading people shouted loudly: "What kind of person dares to trespass on the palace!"

Hu Yu didn't speak, but calmly stared at the Praetorian Guards in front of him, with his current strength, he was confident enough to break through in the face of this group of people, but he didn't come today to break into the palace, he just wanted to confirm Zhen Siqi's safety.

Hu Yu said lightly: "Please also spread the word, just say that Hu Yu wants to see Zhen Siqi, the holy daughter of Yuexia Palace." ”

The leader sneered and said loudly: "Do you still think that this is someone's mansion, and you can see whoever you want? If you want to see someone in the palace, you must first go to the Secretariat Bureau to register, and then go back and wait for the summons." ”

Hu Yu frowned slightly, he originally thought that entering the palace was like an ordinary compound, and he only needed to report it, but he didn't expect it to be so troublesome.

Although he didn't like the arrogant attitude of the leader, Hu Yu still hugged his fists to show his gratitude, and was about to turn around and leave, but the guards surrounding him did not disperse, one of the guards stepped forward, looked at Hu Yu carefully, and then asked: "Are you Hu Yu?

Hu Yu didn't expect this guard to know him, so he asked, "It's Hu Yu below, but I don't know who the Heavenly Maiden you are talking about?"

The guards clenched their fists with both hands, bowed to the palace and said, "The Son of Heaven canonized the Holy Maiden of the Yuexia Palace as the Heavenly Maiden on behalf of the Heavens, don't you know about this?"

Hu Yu shook his head and said, "I don't know." ”

"Then you wait a minute. With that, the Praetorian Guard walked over to the leader.

The guards clasped their fists towards Chen Song, the deputy commander of the front door, and said, "Deputy commander Chen, this person is the person His Majesty said he wanted to meet. ”
