Quietly entered the Chu Palace, quietly left, it was already dark when he left, thinking of Li Xiu'er's tenderness, Xiao Rui's mood suddenly improved, but his waist was a little tired.

It seems that Babao tea must continue to be drunk, and martial arts cannot be wasted.

Life was quiet again.

Seeing that there was still half a month before the New Year, Qi Jiguang was ordered to enter Beijing.

Now Qi Jiguang is in his thirties, looks the same but has a burly figure, and he is at a good age to make meritorious contributions.

I was very excited to be summoned by the prince in person, but even more excited was still to come.

"Qi Jiguang, Pingbo Hou was ordered to capture the Wa Kingdom, and this palace wants to transfer you to his command, are you willing?" Xiao Rui asked.

Qi Jiguang said excitedly: "I am willing to be humble, and I am willing to sweep away the Japanese country for Daxia and promote the prestige of Daxia!" ”

Xiao Rui nodded and said, "Okay!" There are good generals like you in this palace, why worry about the great cause? I heard that you are also proficient in transformation, and you have knowledge of warships and weapons? ”

Qi Jiguang said embarrassedly; "Let His Highness smile, usually fiddle casually, but I didn't expect His Highness to know!"

Xiao Rui said: "I like to invent and create, that's a good thing!" After His Majesty and Hongu took over the Wa Kingdom, they would build it into a large base and build a large shipyard. When the time comes, you need a trustworthy and capable person to take the lead for Your Majesty. Pingbohou is also older, so this palace wants to use young people, you deal with the Japanese people all year round, I think you can do it! Do you understand? ”

Qi Jiguang was taken aback, and immediately understood what Xiao Rui meant, this is not just reuse, this is simply heavy! How can I be virtuous, I can't imagine that I can get such a weight when I see His Highness for the first time!

He has no connections, no family background, and he is already very satisfied with being able to survive until he is the commander of the envoy in this life, although he also has the luxury of hoping to make meritorious contributions and achieve himself, but he also knows that it is a luxury.

It's just that I didn't expect that luck came so quickly now!

After being excited, Qi Jiguang knelt down on one knee and said, "Your Highness, please rest assured, your subordinates are willing to serve Your Majesty and Your Highness!" ”

Xiao Rui said with a smile: "Get up, you don't need to smear your liver and brains, make the best use of your talents, and make the best use of people, this is the standard for selecting and employing people in this palace." A new era is about to begin, don't be presumptuous! ”

"Wechen understands!" Qi Jiguang said excitedly. ::

Subsequently, Xiao Rui chatted with Qi Jiguang about the idea of governing the Japanese state, and the two chatted for a long time before Qi Jiguang stepped down.

As soon as the person left, Song Yingxing, who had been waiting outside the door for a long time, asked to see him.

Xiao Rui summoned him into the hall and asked curiously, "What's wrong with Lord Song?" ”

Song Yingxing explained: "Your Highness, the drawings of the Lingyun Pavilion that Your Majesty needs have been drawn, please take a look!" ”

Xiao Rui sighed, and actually forgot about this matter, this was arranged by him personally.

After King Ruyang committed suicide by poisoning, His Majesty chatted with Xiao Rui about a lot of things, and when he left, he asked him to arrange for the Ministry of Engineering to design a towering pavilion to be built on the open space next to the Sanqing Palace. Moreover, His Majesty has requirements, requiring the high pavilion to be extremely luxurious and magnificent.

Since it was requested by His Majesty, Xiao Rui personally handed over the matter to Song Yingxing and asked him to arrange it in person, but he forgot about it in the past few days.

Yan Xiaoxiao presented the scroll and slowly opened it. After unfolding, the picture scroll jumps into a majestic attic, because the height can not be higher than the temple next to it, this is the rule, so the attic is only designed with two floors, carved beams and painted buildings, cornices and corners, the use of materials marked in the picture is also luxurious, gold leaf topping, white jade railing, gem inlay, etc., once built, it is definitely a highlight.

In particular, the plaque with the words "Lingyun Pavilion" written on it was written by His Majesty himself, which was vigorous and powerful, making the entire Lingyun Pavilion look more majestic.

"Your Royal Highness, this pavilion is designed by the most outstanding construction master and painting master of the Ministry of Engineering, this pavilion is more than three zhang long, one and a half zhang wide, the height is two zhang eight inches, sitting in the south and facing north, towering does not take the height of the palace"

Song Yingxing briefly stated the design concept of Lingyun Pavilion, and then asked, "What does Your Highness think?" I wonder if Your Majesty will be satisfied? ”

"This pavilion is majestic, very good! His Majesty is naturally satisfied. By the way, how long is the construction period? Xiao Rui asked

Song Yingxing said: "Four months slowly, three months faster!" ”

Xiao Rui nodded and said, "This picture will be presented to Your Majesty, Lord Song has worked hard!" ”

Song Yingxing responded, and then retreated.

There were no outsiders in the Heart Cultivation Palace, and Yan Xiaoxiao asked curiously: "Your Highness, what is the purpose of building this pavilion?" There are many palaces in the palace, and many of them are free. ”

Xiao Rui smiled: "I should have guessed my father's intentions, this is another move of his, and it is also done for me, but this Lingyun Pavilion is for others." ”

"Who?" Yan Xiaoxiao couldn't help but ask.

"In Great Xia, the eleven military marquis who hold the right to lead the army!" Xiao Rui said.

Yan Xiaoxiao was stunned.

Xiao Rui explained: "Your Majesty is ready to release the military power with a glass of wine, and the eleven military marquis are all old, so it's time to put down the soldiers and horses in their hands and hand them over to the young people." However, it was a great blow to them to give up their power abruptly, and His Majesty did not want to have a bad reputation as a good bird. Therefore, this Lingyun Pavilion was built, and the portrait of the general and the marquis was enshrined in the high pavilion, and he was named the hero of the Great Xia, and was admired by the world. This move is a name that will go down in history, and it is the greatest reward for the military marquis, and with this fame, they are also willing to hand over the right to lead the army. ”

Yan Xiaoxiao then understood, and couldn't help but praise: "This trick is clever, the soldiers don't see the bloody blade, and let the military marquis obediently hand over the military power, Your Majesty is really powerful!" ”

Xiao Rui looked at the Lingyun Pavilion on the picture scroll, and couldn't help but read: "Please go to Lingyun Pavilion temporarily, if you are a scholar and a marquis!" In the future, Lingyun Pavilion will be the most coveted place for the ministers and ministers, and this is the most ardent dream for the powerful who love their names. ”

Subsequently, Xiao Rui gave the scroll to Emperor Xia for a look.

Emperor Xia was satisfied, and after inquiring about the construction period, he immediately asked to start now, and shortened the time to two and a half months.

Emperor Xia didn't hide it, and said the role of Lingyun Pavilion, which was exactly the same as Xiao Rui guessed. This majestic pavilion will become a symbol of Emperor Xia's complete transfer of power to Xiao Rui.

The old military marquis retreated to the background and lived for the rest of their lives, and the next Great Xia will really be Xiao Rui's world.

This also made Xiao Rui can't help but calculate his reusable generals.

Han Xin, Chen Qingzhi, Guo Ziyi, Li Yuanfang, Li Cunxiao, Yang Youji, Yue Fei, Qi Jiguang, Gan Ning, nine generals who can fight well and are loyal, plus the newly rising cutting-edge, such as Ye Wendao, Tian Boguang, Zhang Lianchuan, Zhang Ning, Zhang Yu and others, can be trained to become independent generals in the future.

So even if the old military marquis retires, Xiao Rui, as the new emperor, can control the world of Great Xia!

The next thing is to wait quietly and watch the buds blossom and bear fruit, and officially harvest the fruits!

Xiao Rui's ascension to the throne is just around the corner.
