"That's the best, Lao Zhou, if the military parade at the National Day ceremony is done perfectly, I will make you a marquis, but if there is any mistake...... Zhao Xu said gloomily

"If there is any mistake, Your Majesty will take off the head of the old minister. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"Well, good, you can step down."

"The old minister retired, long live my emperor, long live long live." After Zhou Tong withdrew from the imperial study, the cold sweat on his head flowed down at once, and it seemed that he couldn't stop it, because these ministers knew that Zhao Xu was not an emperor who just talked about playing

All the things about the National Day are being carried out in an orderly manner according to the pre-agreed plan, whether it is the military parade of the National Day ceremony, the float show, all kinds of stage plays, or the study of those officer trainees, etc., etc., all of this is going according to the plan, however, the most busy person for these things is not Zhao Xu, the emperor, but the heavenly officials and scholars of the major ministries, relieved to do the shopkeeper. However, to say that this is Zhao Xu's complete trust in his subordinates and ministers? No, as an emperor, he also has a character unique to an emperor, that is, suspicious

"Master, all the information about the ministers of the current court this month has been summarized here, please take a look at it, Your Majesty." In a secret room in the imperial study, a person wrapped in black clothes and only a pair of eyes exposed, knelt there respectfully and said to Zhao Xu

In the dark secret room, Zhao Xu cynically sat on a chair in the test, facing a lamp, and the jade file in his hand gently repaired his nails, "Get up, pick the key points and talk to me briefly." ”

"Yes. The social activities of all the ministers this month are basically the same as last month, and the adults in Bianliang Castle in Tokyo continue to live according to their original rhythm of life, and there are no special changes in the various road administrations, state capitals, county offices, and garrison generals in various parts of the imperial frontier. "Yes, the person in front of Zhao Xu is not an iron tiger, but a shadow attached to the back of the CIA, its name is "Xiao", this is a name that Zhao Xu took from remembering a plot in the later Naruto anime, this organization is in the dark, and its purpose is also to protect the light, but this shadow organization named "Xiao" by Zhao Xu, no one knows about it except Zhao Xu himself

"Recently, the imperial court has been busy, and all the major ministries and departments are busy before and after the National Day ceremony, like Liu Shihai, this dead fat man must have embezzled a lot of money."

"Yes, master, Liu Shihai is in charge of the trade and transportation channels of the goods controlled by the imperial trading houses and the entire empire, and there is already a huge amount of silver that the families of the major trading houses and the ministers of the DPRK and China have honored, plus Liu Shihai often carries goods privately through his position to seek monetary benefits, so Liu Shihai will have tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of gray income every month."

"It's okay to be greedy for a few dollars, let's talk about other officials, the heavenly officials of various ministries and departments, the three cabinet scholars, and the various bachelors, the Imperial Historical Observatory, the General Staff, the Military Academy, etc., let's talk about it."

"The Tianguan Shangshu of various ministries and departments, except for Xu Liang, who received a total of one hundred and fifty Guan Wen this month, the Tianguan Shangshu of other ministries and departments all have additional income ranging from two thousand and one thousand Guan Wen, most of which are filial piety from the subordinates, such as Liu Shihai, Zhou Dong of the Ministry of War is also mostly a gift given by the generals who came back to Beijing to visit, and Zheng Junyan of the Ministry of Rites is because of the National Day ceremony, many merchants want to set up stalls at the ceremony site to do business, and go to visit Zheng Junyan's filial gifts or silver money, Ouyang Shuliang is a celestial official of the Ministry of Officials, and his protégés are all over the world, and the people who come to the door every day to send the worship meeting are like carp crossing the river, and there is an endless stream, and the filial piety that Ouyang Shuliang receives every month is as high as seven or eight thousand to twenty or thirty thousand guanwen. As for Xie Dong of the Criminal Department, he is naturally the one who comes to the door to pay homage to those who ask for mercy, and the number is not much, about two or three thousand yuan per month. As for the scholars and scholars in the court, in addition to the shares of the imperial trading house can get a lot of profits, there are many people who will sell their calligraphy and paintings in the bazaar to subsidize the family, as for the imperial historians of the imperial history platform, the days are even tighter, except for the left capital imperial history Ma Kanglai, and the right capital imperial envoy He Dingsheng two people have invested in the imperial trading house, the other imperial history can only rely on that fixed bit to support their families. ”

"Why don't they sell some calligraphy or something?" Zhao Xu asked with some confusion

"Back to the master, after all, the people of Yushitai are doing some work that offends people, so whether it is the people or the officialdom, almost no one is willing to contact the people of Yushitai." The man in black said

"How about the General Staff and those officer trainees."

"The vast majority of the staff officers of the General Staff are from the Guigu lineage, even those who are not from the Guigu Gate, they are all in harmony with those Guigumen people, and now the people in the entire General Staff are all dependent on the care of Concubine De, so they still have no problem at all in terms of loyalty. As for the officer trainees in the military academy, they often beat and scolded the low-ranking officers in the military academy by virtue of their status as senior officers, so that the low-ranking officers in the military academy were extremely dissatisfied with those officer trainees, and even had huge resistance and hostility. ”

"Hmph, it seems that these guys still don't feel the kind of exhaustion that goes deep into the bone marrow, okay, I know all this, remember my instructions, once you find out that the ministers of the DPRK and China have colluded with foreign countries and caused chaos to the government, no matter at any time and place, you must report to me as soon as possible."

"Yes, my subordinates obey."

"Alright, you can step aside."

"The subordinates retired." Saying that, the man in black slowly retreated to a dark place in this secret room, and there was no sound, and after a closer look, only Zhao Xu was left in the entire secret room, and as for how the man in black left this secret room, no one knows

With a bookcase outside the toilet door on the inside of the imperial study, there was a mechanical sound of "click" and "click", slowly rotated and opened, only to see Zhao Xu walking out of it, Zhao Xu looked back at the dark room door that was slowly closing with some bad taste, he really wondered, why did the previous Zhao Xu open this secret room door here, bad taste, bad taste (to be continued.) )
