Gao Hao, who was following behind Lu Chengqi, hurriedly said: "Back to Your Majesty, yesterday the forbidden army of 1,000 people has entered Chang'an City. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info Now, in accordance with His Majesty's will, half of it is incorporated into the City Defense Division, and half is assembled in front of the Xuande Tower. ”

Lu Chengqi nodded, and dispatched the forbidden army into the city for the sake of safety. Who knows if there are any ambitious people who will make trouble without will! The forbidden army entered the city to assist in defense, strengthened its strength, and also deterred Xiaoxiao, killing two birds with one stone. The forbidden army, together with the City Defense Department and the Supervision Department, has more than 10,000 troops stationed in Chang'an City. Coupled with the thousands of imperial guards, although it can't prevent every corner of Chang'an City, once someone makes trouble, it is not so easy to escape from Chang'an City. This is an invisible deterrent, which is to tell ambitious people, stay good for me and don't move, you look good when you move!

Gao Ho personally went to deliver the decree, so he naturally had to ask him. In fact, the role of the forbidden army is a little more deterrent. And the forbidden army came to the elite of the elite. There are musket teams, as well as divine arm bows, and more forbidden troops armed with Pu swords and spears. And the Xiang army has long been broken up and incorporated into the forbidden army. Now the forbidden army camp on the outskirts of Chang'an has gathered more than 400,000 troops. Dashun's box army and the forbidden army have become one and no longer separate from each other.

"Very good, presumably those ministers have already seen my handwriting, right?" Lu Chengqi said with a smile.

Gao Hao didn't know what Lu Chengqi meant by this, could it be that the little emperor wanted to kill on a large scale? This appalling thought, Gao Hao quickly put it behind him, not daring to think about it again. Lu Chengqi mobilized the forbidden army, firstly, to deter Xiaoxiao, and secondly, to warn those ministers not to go too far. The literati who had never been on the battlefield suddenly saw the forbidden army with bright clothes and majestic armor, and their momentum was weakened by three points. In the art of war, this trick is to "strike first, and then strike at others", first give these civilian officials a dismount, kill them with prestige, lest you make yourself very weak if you don't see them for a few days.

Sure enough, outside the gate of the Xuande Building, when the officials of the Shangshu Dynasty were about to enter the courtyard next to the Xuande Gate, they saw the neat forbidden army guarding the Xuande Gate under the light of torches.

Those who can go to the court are all Beijing officials above the seventh grade, high and powerful, where have you ever seen such a battle? They were all stunned in the local area, and there were many discussions. It is a tiring thing to go to court, if you live far away, you have to get up and go out, wear the stars and the moon, and walk for two hours to arrive. Fortunately, Taizu felt sorry for the courtiers, so he specially built a "waiting courtyard" outside the Xuande Gate, so that the ministers could go in to rest.

In the last dynasty, the emperor could be late for a while, but the minister didn't dare! In case someone grabs the pigtail and impeaches one, there is really no place to complain. So most of them went out early and rushed to the palace. And the palace will not open the palace door until it is more than halfway through. So the minister is waiting in the hospital, he should fill his stomach so early, right? The vendors of Dashun far exceeded the previous dynasties, and after the leaky courtyard was built, there was no clear provision that no stalls should be set up at the entrance of the palace, so all kinds of vendors selling snacks and selling breakfast all ran over. The lights are bright in front of the hospital, the characters are moving around, selling liver clips, powder porridge, and noisy back and forth, as if it has become a lively snack morning market.

No, some civil officials, with a feeling of anxiety, bought breakfast, brought it into the courtyard to eat, and whispered while eating: "I heard from the housekeeper that His Majesty sent the forbidden army into the city, and I don't know what it was for. It would seem that it was specially designed to give us prestige. ”

"But isn't it, Doctor Yun, I have been waiting outside the Vertical Arch Hall to ask for an audience for three days, but I can't see His Majesty's holy face. Your Majesty has been smart since childhood, how can you not guess what we are going to do? Thinking about it, he also understands that today we are determined to admonish directly, so we set up a forbidden army to scare us? ”

"How can a few hundred forbidden troops make us retreat? We are admonishing the great shun country, and we are right, so what are we afraid of? ”

"Hey, isn't this Qin Shangshu of the Ministry of War, did you use it too early?"

After Qin Yikang, the secretary of the military department, got out of the carriage, he hurriedly saluted: "Doctor Yun, Doctor Qian, and Liu Zhongshu, why are they all in the courtyard gate?" ”

Liu Geng, a member of the Zhongshu House, said with a smile: "It's late, and it's all early." I can't wait, so I can only go to the gate of the courtyard. ”

Qin Yikang sighed: "Yes, there are more and more Jingguan ......"

After Doctor Yun Feng swallowed the porridge in his mouth, he said indignantly: "No, compared with the time of Taizu, the number of Jingguan has more than tripled. The expenditure of the state treasury also increased sharply every year. Your Majesty will implement a new policy and promote ten rank officials, can this treasury support it? ”

After Qin Yikang brought the topic out, he no longer made a sound, but watched from the sidelines. However, Liu Geng saw that he hadn't eaten breakfast yet, and said: "It's not too late to leave this to the Daqing Palace, Qin Shangshu, I invite you to eat breakfast." ”

Qin Yikang smiled: "How dare you bother Liu Zhongshu? The servant has gone to buy it, and he knows my taste. ”

Liu Geng was not reluctant, and after eating the last bite of the pancake in his hand, he took the silk handkerchief and wiped his hands. Suddenly, I heard a voice outside: "Elder Xu Ge! ”

Everyone's eyes were drawn to the carriage that was slowly approaching. In fact, there is nothing unusual about this carriage, but it is a little dilapidated. However, this is the carriage given by the first emperor, and although the pattern of the hedgehog on it has lost some paint, it is still lifelike, which makes people admire it when they see it.

This is the carriage of Xu Chongguang, the first assistant of the cabinet, which has been given by the first emperor for nearly 20 years. Although it is dilapidated, it does not prevent the officials from looking forward to him.

After the carriage stopped, Xu Chongguang slowly got out of the carriage. The officials in front of the courtyard all stepped forward and saluted one after another: "Elder Xu Ge! ”

Xu Chongguang hurriedly returned the salute, and before he could speak, someone asked: "Elder Xu Ge, today we want to give a direct advice to Your Majesty and take back the new policy, I don't know if Elder Xu Ge agrees?" ”

Hearing this, Xu Chongguang smiled bitterly in his heart: "I still have to come!" He said, "Ladies and gentlemen, I haven't eaten breakfast yet, and it's almost three quarters before the hour, can you let me fill my stomach first?" ”

Although he knew that Xu Chongguang was shirking, everyone really didn't dare to do anything. After all, he is an old official, and he is not allowed to eat, in case he suddenly faints during the last court, this crime is not small. Everyone got out of the way, and Xu Chongguang casually walked to a snack stall, bought a bowl of porridge, and ate it. Looking at the way he ate with relish, he must not have stopped chopsticks before the middle of the hour. Everyone was slightly disappointed, but they also understood Xu Chongguang's difficulties. After all, he is the first assistant of the cabinet, if he doesn't support the little emperor, maybe he will be demoted out of Beijing the next day...... (To be continued.) )
