Of course, this is not to say that Li Guanqi's reform of the rule of officials is thunder and rain, as the saying goes, the thief is weak-hearted, and the corrupt officials themselves are frightened birds, with Lu Konghai such a Qin Cha who holds the right to kill, it will form a great deterrent force for them, although it is impossible to completely clarify the rule of officials, but at least it will make all the officials have some restraint, and will no longer act as arbitrarily as before.

In the final analysis, the main role of Lu Konghai is to ask for the way and buy time for Li Guanqi's future reform of the rule of officials, and when Li Guanqi's own strength is truly cultivated, he can completely let go of his fists and feet, and carry out a thorough rectification of the rule of officials.

Although Lu Konghai didn't know that Li Guanqi had so many thoughts in his heart in an instant, he was not a person who loved to kill, so he immediately replied: "Your Majesty, rest assured, God has the virtue of a good life, and the minister will never dare to kill a person in vain, so that the saint will lose it!" ”

Li Guanqi nodded and said, "Okay!" This matter is decided, you go back and prepare first! I'm going to summon you alone! ”

"Yes!" Lu Konghai saluted and retreated.

Li Guanqi moved his muscles for a moment, and said to the ministers again: "I patronized it just now and said what I was thinking in my heart. For most of the past half a year, I'm not in Beijing, do you have anything to play? ”

The central ministers looked at each other, and then Zhao Pu spoke: "Your Majesty! The surrounding countries, especially the Eastern and Western Turks, Tibetan and other military powers, have always been eyeing our dynasty, before His Majesty with the divine power of Lei Zhenzi let them restrain somewhat, but because of the rebellion of Li Chen and the two thieves, it led to internal turmoil in our dynasty, and now the countries are becoming more and more rampant, not only the Eastern and Western Turks and Tubo are showing off their troops on the border. Even the Khitan expelled the envoys sent by our court......"

"Khitan?" Li Guanqi's eyebrows couldn't help but rise. If he wants to say that the Eastern and Western Turks and Tibet have any ideas, he is not surprised at all, these three countries are all military powers, and they have always been the masters of bullying others. Since the founding of the Great Qian Dynasty, except for the Wuzong Dynasty, it has faced these three countries. He had never won a battle, and the previous Lei Zhenzi test was just to scare them and buy time for himself, and he himself didn't expect to be able to make the three kingdoms peaceful from now on.

But the Khitan also suddenly became tough on the big cadres, Li Guanqi was puzzled, he still remembered that when he had just ascended the throne, the Khitan was the first to come to congratulate, why did his attitude suddenly change 180 degrees?

"But because the Khitan was coerced by the Eastern-Turkic? That's why you're at odds with me? Li Guanqi asked along his train of thought.

"Back to Your Majesty. Not really! Zhao Pu bowed down and said, "The current Khitan Khan is called Tadu, and he is no longer the Hun Ge Khan who is respectful to me, but the son of Hun Ge Khan, and our envoys are there to congratulate their new king on the throne, but they are not even expelled without even seeing the face of Tadu." ”

"Why? Da Qian and Khitan have always been good friends, why did the father die, and the son suddenly became angry when he ascended the throne? There has to be a reason, right? Li Guanqi said angrily. He had just put down a rebellion. He already knew from the meeting just now that it was this counterinsurgency war that had drained the treasury. At this time, if a foreign war breaks out again, it will really be enough of a headache. Originally, there were Eastern and Western Turks and Tibetans, which was annoying enough, and this Khitan still had to come to join in the fun, how could it not make people angry?

Zhao Pu replied: "Our envoy didn't even see the face of Tadu, and I don't know why!" But ......" said that. Zhao Pu paused.

"But what?" Li Guanqi frowned, "If you have anything to say, just say it directly!" ”

Zhao Pu pondered for a moment, and then said: "It is said that Tadu was not originally the son of the world, but with the help of the power of other tribes, he killed his father and brother to ascend to the throne of Khan. Pity. We don't have any sources in Khitan, otherwise we would have been able to learn more and why they suddenly became tough on our dynasty! ”

"Uh......" Li Guanqi put his hands behind his back and did not speak again. Zhao Pu said that the Great Qian Dynasty had no sources in the Khitan, which is not true. In fact, the outer tentacles of the Intelligence Department were the first to reach the Khitan, a few countries that had a relatively good relationship with the Great Cadres, and the Khitan intelligence network was established when Zhao Pu was the director of the Intelligence Department, and it was impossible for him not to know that the reason why he deliberately said so was because the Intelligence Department "simply did not exist", and his subtext was actually to ask Li Guanqi to ask the current person in charge of the Intelligence Department -- Yuwen Xiyue.

Thinking of Yuwen Xiyue, Li Guanqi's heart couldn't help but flutter slightly, that touch of bright red is always so sultry, since the two have had a skin-to-skin relationship, every joy is so unforgettable.

Shaking his head slightly, Li Guanqi retracted his reverie, gently rubbed the jade pendant on his waist with his fingers, and said in a deep voice: "No matter why the Khitan wants to make enemies with me, how to deal with the current situation, what are the opinions of the Aiqing?" ”

Dongfang Rui took the lead and said: "Back to Your Majesty, the turmoil within Daqian has gradually subsided. Fanbang foreign countries are becoming more and more rampant, especially the small Khitan countries, which dare to expel the envoys of our dynasty, which is unbearable. The minister believed that there was no other way but war, otherwise it would be protracted, and the rest of the countries that submitted to the great cadres would also rebel en masse. ”

Li Guanqi nodded and said: "Aiqing is extremely worried, but now that our treasury is empty, it is better not to fight this war or not, even if it is necessary to fight, the scale of the war must be controlled as small as possible!" ”

Zhao Pu thought for a moment and said, "What Your Majesty said is extremely true! Although the population of the Eastern and Western Turks and Tibetans is small, their warriors are all brave and good at fighting, and even ordinary people are skilled in bowing and horses since childhood. Although our DPRK has hundreds of thousands of troops and advanced firearms, it will be very difficult to win a war with these three countries, and it will only make our DPRK's national strength and military strength more and more empty, and the rest of the small countries will also lose their worries. ”

Li Guanqi nodded vigorously and said in a deep voice: "Zhao Pu is right, if the national strength is empty, it will be united by the surrounding countries. It would indeed be a very terrible thing to capture our great cadres together. The plan for now is how to solve the border threat as much as possible without soldiers! Ladies and gentlemen, speak freely! ”

Xu Quan, the privy deputy envoy, stood up and said: "The minister has a plan, or he can make the Eastern and Western Turks and the Tubo people kill each other, and there is no time to go south or look east!" (To be continued......)
