Chapter 20: The Power of Imperial Power

……

", where are you going to figure it out?" Zhao Zhe slapped the desk angrily, and the water in the teacup was slightly shaken, and he stood up abruptly.

Shen Yijun's fat neck shrank, and his face turned pale. hurriedly stepped back: "Your Majesty, Weichen will get out, let go." ”

Before he retreated to the door of the study, Zhao Zhe raised his eyebrows again: "Stop, I want to see all the expenditure accounts for this year before noon." If you can't do it, hum, Qin Yun~"

Qin Yun, who was guarding outside the study, walked in with a sinister face and knelt down on one knee: "Weichen is here." ”

"Send two imperial guards to follow Lord Shen, if he can't bring the accounts before noon." Zhao Zhe's face was a little gloomy, and he waved his hand: "Take his head directly and come back to see me." ”

Shen Yijun only felt a chill on his neck. He knew that before the emperor was injured, tyranny was tyrannical, but he never asked about political affairs. Originally, today, I also wanted to see how the emperor would deal with this matter, at most they were just pulling each other's skins. Where did you expect that if you don't get one right today, don't toss your head into it. Sweat was pouring from his forehead, and just as he wanted to speak, two imperial guards grabbed him from left to right and dragged him out.

"The emperor ~ the emperor, please listen to Weichen's words." Shen Yijun kept screaming.

"Hmph." Zhao Zhe put his hands behind his back, turned around, and his eyes fell on the quaint calligraphy and paintings on the wall of the study, and no longer paid attention to him. Although it has been less than a month since the time traveled, under the pressure of the surname's life, he has been using his brains. Under pressure, people are most likely to burst out with wisdom and strength. Zhao Zhe also understood that this Shen Yijun came today, which must represent the temptation of his forces to see if the emperor had suddenly favored the queen recently, and whether there would be a change in mentality.

Then, Zhao Zhe also wanted to use this matter to test the bureaucracy of the entire imperial court. I also want to show some sense of strength. If this Shen Yijun honestly brought the accounts, it would be fine. If you can't take it out, this head is a must.

As for whether there will be major political turmoil, Zhao Zhe also carefully considered it. To be turbulent, it is only a struggle for power. It includes the power struggle between the friends and the friends, or the transfer of power resources between the minister and the emperor. For the throne, it basically won't have much impact. Throughout the dynasties, the emperor has always represented the source and symbol of power. Even if the emperor loses miserably in the struggle for power, he is just hiding as a mediocre and incompetent monarch who eats, drinks and has fun all day long. Very rarely will there be courtiers who will directly usurp the throne. Especially, in this huge dynasty with a centuries-old history. There are still 3,000 nails in the rotten ship, not to mention such a powerful dynasty that once dominated the world. God knows, how many hole cards are in the royal hand? Rather than daring to risk the disapproval of the world to plot the usurpation of the dynasty, it is better to control the government first and treat the emperor as a puppet first. The emperor, even if it is an empty shelf, but that title can make countless people unable to raise their heads. Four hundred years is enough time for the royal orthodoxy of the Great Zhao Empire to be deeply rooted in the minds of people all over the world.

Moreover, some courtiers have the ability to put Su Nianqing in the position of queen, compete for favor with the original concubine, and try to make the emperor rein in the precipice and work hard again. It can be said that there are also courtiers who support the emperor's power. Moreover, it seems that the ability is not too small. After all, the Chinese civilization has been around for thousands of years, and there has always been no shortage of scribes and warriors who are worried about the country and the people. Zhao Zhe's move can also, to a certain extent, redeem the expectations and goodwill of these people.

"Qin Yun!" Zhao Zhe shouted again.

"Wechen is here." Qin Yun knelt down on one knee again.

"You've been a guard for three years, and I know that many things you see in your eyes and remember in your heart." Zhao Zhe's voice began to become a little indifferent: "I promoted you to be the commander of the imperial guards, and the general commander is one hundred and eighty imperial guards. I want you to make sure that every one of your royal guards is loyal to me before you end up today. Those half-hearted, Qin Yun, you know. ”

"We're in charge. Long live my emperor, long live long live. Wechen is willing to complete this matter before noon. Qin Yun's eyes were covered with a faint layer of blood, and the killing intent gradually rose. With the emperor's will, it can be said that people who are not with bad heads will never dare to resist this appointment in the slightest. Even if it is a person with bad intentions, he will not be confronted on the spot. Otherwise, this is a rebellion and a great sin of exterminating the nine clans. And in Qin Yun's hands, there is a group of senior brothers who are temporarily undisciplined, but they are extraordinary. And he himself, who had been in the imperial guard for three years, was not only the leader of a team of thirty men for a long time. Among the imperial guards with a total of less than 200 people, who is not familiar with them? There is not a single hand that can compete with him in personal force.

Before noon, nature is better. Let the eunuch of the celebrant draw up the holy decree, and Zhao Zhe covered the jade seal. And Zhao Zhe, first with a group of guards, protected the emperor and returned to the Qianqing Palace first. His master and ten guards protected the Qianqing Palace. Then, he restrained the murderous aura on his face and led a dozen people and his senior brothers away.

……

Before noon, there was still an hour and a half left. Zhao Zhe was leisurely, in the study of the Qianqing Palace, playing chess with the void child in a flowing robe. Although Zhao Zhe's chess strength is not good, under the intentional or unintentional concession of the Void Son, the two are inseparable.

After a game of chess, it turned out to be a draw.

"Your Majesty, the poor road has something to ask for." Void Zi accompanied Zhao Zhe to drink tea.

Zhao Zhe nodded indifferently.

"Poor Dao has a few close friends who get together every year to talk about Dao Lunwu, trying to blend everyone's experiences together. And use this to break through to the realm of the grandmaster. Void Zi said lightly: "This year is approaching, I don't know if Poor Dao can repair a few letters and invite them to the capital to hold a party." Poor Dao also told the truth, maybe some of them would not be willing to serve the emperor. ”

"Heh, the Void Dao Chief has a heart." Zhao Zhe praised it unhappily and sadly, and then condensed and said: "I can give the Taoist master a promise, as long as you are willing to work for me, those cheats can be read at will." All kinds of rare and precious medicinal materials, I can also find a way to raise them. And once anyone breaks through to the realm of grandmasters, I can worship them as royal offerings, and they are more than princes. ”

Zhao Zhe also gradually knew that there were only ten masters of the Grandmaster Realm in this world. There were three in the army, and the remaining seven, each of whom was the head of the major sects. It is almost impossible for them to come to the palace as offerings. And the three people in that army, each guarding the border pass, usually can't even go back to the capital.

"The position is greater than the prince, and the position is greater than the prince." In the calm eyes of the void child, there was also a hint of expectation. The official standard has been based for thousands of years, and there may be many people in this world who disdain the so-called official positions and the so-called kings and lords. But the vast majority of them just don't have this opportunity. Glory to the ancestors and leave a piece of glory for their descendants, how many people are unwilling?

"It just so happens that I have an idea, too." Zhao Zhe leisurely drank tea and said: "I want to divide the world's martial arts masters into nine grades, from nine to one grade. The official agency will issue the selection criteria, and the corresponding grade certificate will be issued after passing the examination. With this proof, you can enjoy the courtesies of my Great Zhao Empire. I want to be like a master of the level of the Void Dao Chief, a first-class master. Once you break through to the Grandmaster realm. I gave him the name of the king's master, and everywhere he went, he was more than a prince. ”

Void Zi took a deep breath and said in surprise: "Your Majesty, do you intend to bring the entire people in the rivers and lakes into your command?" ”

"Jianghu?" Zhao Zhe smiled: "I can acquiesce in the existence of this special world, but I must contribute to the country and defend against foreign enemies under my command. Zhao Zhe is also a little worried, now that he counts his fingers, it should be past the Middle Ages. It should already be in the whole world, about to enter the prelude to rapid development. If we fail to unite the country and rapidly develop its strength, I am afraid that this huge and sleeping country will suffer another history of humiliation that has lasted for more than 100 years. Gathering the masters and gathering strength is just the beginning......
