"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

In the court, hundreds of officials knelt down in front of Jiang Beiran and shouted.

"Flat."

Hearing the emperor's voice, the hundred officials slowly stood up and looked towards the emperor, and at this glance, many sharp-eyed officials were stunned.

"Celestial Princess (Princess Bright Moon)!?"

blinked his eyes vigorously twice, and after looking at them several times, these ministers were sure that they were not mistaken, and the one standing behind the emperor was the eldest princess of the previous dynasty!

'Why is Princess Celestia here?' ''How did Princess Celestia become a palace maid?'' ''What is the emperor's intention to bring her to the court?'' The ministers couldn't help but think about it, but on the surface they all stood straight, without squinting, and they couldn't see any consternation.

When the Manchu Dynasty is full of loyal and patriotic ministers, the court meeting has become extremely lively, after all, loyal ministers, head iron is one of their characteristics, even in the face of the emperor, they dare to admonish anything, and they will die at every turn.

As for the things admonished by these ministers, as long as they don't skip the options, Jiang Beiran basically replied, "Just do what Aiqing said." "Aiqing has worked hard." "Aiqing did a good job."

After all, as a leader, what he has to do is to leave all kinds of troubles to capable people to do, rather than doing everything by him.

So when he has a group of trustworthy ministers, what Jiang Beiran needs to do is to listen to how things are progressing, and praise some ministers with outstanding political achievements.

"Your Majesty, the order of the people of Wuling County has begun to be implemented, and all the town governments have posted notices, and I believe that the people in exile will return soon."

Jiang Beiran was just about to open his mouth to praise, when he saw two options jump out.

[Option 1: "Aiqing has worked hard" completion reward: Chain Armor Dandian (Xuan-level high-grade)]

[Option 2: "Oh? Wuling County? Is what Aiqing said true? "Completion Reward: +1 Random Base Skill Points]

Looking at option two, Jiang Beiran remembered that he had been to Wuling County, where corrupt officials were rampant, obscenity was rampant, and all kinds of temples were everywhere, and there were more than 800 ancestral halls for Liu Yueli, the king of Jinyang.

In Shengguo, there are many kings with different surnames, and many of these kings are not sealed by the emperor, but the nepotism of many decent sects.

For example, a child from an ordinary family was found to have a cultivation talent and went to the sect, and then this child relied on his outstanding talent to be promoted all the way in the sect and became a middle-level leader in the sect.

At this time, he must work for the benefit of his family.

Cultivators look down on the imperial court, but as ordinary people, they still love to be officials very much, so the sect will naturally not refuse such a small request as a rookie in the sect.

'Your father wants to be an official?' What's the point of being an official alone, just give him a king. ’

How could a decent sect that didn't pay attention to the emperor care about a king? Just go through the process, many times without the emperor knowing, there is a new king somewhere.

And this Jinyang King Liu Yue is such an existence.

As for why the officials of Wuling County built so many ancestral halls for this Jinyang King Lin Yue? Is it from the bottom of your heart to respect the King of Jinyang? Of course not, the officials just wanted to exploit the people through frequent sacrifices.

After stripping these people of their money, the officials will also take out a part of their filial piety to the king of Jinyang, and then with the acquiescence of the king of Jinyang, they will be even more unscrupulous, and dare to say that it is an ancestral hall by piling up a few broken stones, and then let the people pay the money, not pay? That is disrespecting the King of Jinyang, the crime of disrespect, kill!

After recalling this Wuling County, Jiang Beiran chose two and asked, "Oh? Wuling County? What Aiqing said is true? ”

[Option mission completed, reward: Forge +1]

The official was stunned after hearing this, the emperor had just given all affirmative sentences, how could it be that he had become a question sentence?

This made him understand that the emperor was by no means asking questions, so he quickly knelt down and said: "The minister deserves death." ”

Jiang Beiran frowned and said, "Your life is enough to die once, let's say, what's going on in Wuling County." ”

The official didn't even dare to raise his head, so he replied: "The officials of Wuling County rely on the protection of the King of Jinyang to ignore the imperial court, and they rarely obey the decrees issued by the imperial court in recent years. ”

"Then why did you hide it just now?" Jiang Beiran asked in a non-serious tone.

The official kneeling on the ground was silent for a long time, and finally replied as if he had made a decision: "Back to Your Majesty, there are too many sect forces involved in Wuling County, and Weichen is worried about ......"

"I'm worried that not only will I not be able to control them, but I will be harmed by them?"

Listening to the emperor's very flat tone, the official couldn't help but tremble.

Seeing that the minister didn't reply, Jiang Beiran knew that he had guessed it, but this Wuling County could make this backbone minister who was about to die at every turn dare not impeach, which shows that the problem is really big.

Five fingers tapped on the dragon case for a while, and Jiang Beiran spoke: "Do you know what crime you have committed?" ”

The official below was silent for a moment and replied: "Back to Your Majesty, Weichen is sincere, just for ......"

"I'm asking you what you've done!"

Hearing the emperor's strengthened tone, the official who felt all over his body replied in a trembling voice: "Slightly...... What we are guilty of is the crime of deceiving the king. ”

"Good." Jiang Beiran nodded, glanced at the other ministers and said, "Is there anyone like Ning Shilang, who conceals it for the good of the court and for the sake of my good?" ”

After hearing this, the ministers hurriedly knelt down together, and in addition to panic, they still admired the emperor more.

They didn't expect the emperor to catch the only problematic one from the many reports so accurately, which showed that the emperor knew far more than they thought.

In just two months, the new emperor has brought them too many surprises.

A large number of traitorous and corrupt officials were dismissed by thunderous means, the imperial court structure was restructured, the centralization of power was strengthened, and even in the newly issued decrees, the law of pavilion officials began to manage the national army.

Such a method made many old ministers amazed, and it was hard to believe that the emperor had never been in contact with the court before.

But it was precisely because the emperor's methods were too tough, and he was fearless, no matter who was stuffed into the court, as long as they were incompetent, they were all beaten back, so they didn't dare to expose this matter.

Because regardless of the "King of the Sect", it is already an unspoken rule in the court, after all, there are too many bloody examples in front of them.

"It is impossible for the imperial court to fight the sect."

This concept is deeply imprinted in the minds of each of them.

Therefore, they didn't want this young and vigorous new emperor to fight against the sect, firstly, the good situation would fall short, and secondly, they did not want to lose the long-awaited Ming Jun.

Looking down at the circle, Jiang Beiran smiled and said, "Are you all kneeling?" Could it be that there are all things to conceal? ”

At this time, the captain standing at the front shouted: "I implore Your Majesty to think twice!" ”

As soon as they heard that someone was taking the lead, the other ministers also shouted: "Ministers and others implore Your Majesty to think twice!" ”

Seeing so many loyal ministers and good ministers "admonishing each other" together, Jiang Beiran also understood that it was impossible to erase the fear of the sect in their hearts for a while, although they were bullying the king, but in a sense, he could also think that they were protecting him in this way.

After all, these ministers still don't know where they came from, and it makes sense to deal with them in this way.

"Retreat." Jiang Beiran glanced at Wang Shougui next to him and said.

Wang Shougui was stunned for a moment, and then quickly raised his voice and shouted: "Retreat~ !! ”

In the surprised eyes of the ministers, Jiang Beiran left the Xuanting Hall directly.

Although the ministers were a little stunned, they immediately shouted loudly: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" ”

After standing up again, the ministers looked at each other, their faces full of doubt.

Only Ning Shilang breathed a long sigh of relief, since the emperor did not punish him, but directly announced his withdrawal from the dynasty, at least his little life should be saved.

Left the Xuanting Hall all the way and came to the periphery of the palace, but the ministers still didn't dare to communicate what had just happened, because the emperor's first sudden appearance in front of them was too impressive.

Therefore, it was not until they left the imperial city that the ministers discussed what happened today in their own way.

Walking on the way to the Meditation Palace, Jiang Beiran looked at Deng Xianghan behind him and asked, "Have you ever seen this scene today?" ”

Deng Xianghan hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded: "I haven't seen it, but I've heard of it." ”

"The imperial court has ever fought against the sect?"

"Yes." Deng Xianghan nodded, "But the final outcome was not very good." ”

"How is it not good, tell me carefully."

The story is not long, Deng Xianghan finished talking soon after the group walked back to the study, to put it simply, Deng Bo also wanted to show his strength when he first ascended the throne.

Because like Jiang Beiran, before he ascended the throne, the bigwigs of the two realms of righteousness and demons also said that they would follow him.

This made Deng Bo full of confidence when doing things.

Soon, Deng Bo, who had just ascended the throne, encountered the first very unpleasant thing, that is, there was a region where taxes could not be collected, which made him very uncomfortable.

After some investigation, he learned that the area was governed by a king of the sect, and Deng Bo at that time thought that he had Guan Shi'an as a backer, what "king of the sect" he couldn't control?

So he asked Dasi Nong to send people to forcibly collect taxes from the land, but all the people sent by the imperial court were heard from.

Deng Bo, who was furious, immediately repaired the book and sent it to Guan Shi'an.

However, the letter seemed to sink into the sea, and there was no reply for a long time.

It wasn't until Deng Bo didn't believe in evil and had another collision with the sect that he finally received Guan Shi'an's reply.

The meaning of the letter is simple, it means that you should take care of the people who are not covered by the king, and those who are encircled by the king should turn a blind eye.

Hearing this, Jiang Beiran didn't feel strange at all, and even felt that this was something that Guan Shi'an would do.

Because through several conversations, Jiang Beiran knew that Guan Shi'an really felt that being the emperor was like a joke.

'I hope that the current Guan Sect Master has a little bit of this consciousness that has been cultivated by Yin Jianghong, otherwise it will be really difficult to do. ’

Because according to what Deng Xianghan said, this Guan Shi'an is very similar to saying to the teacher at the beginning of school, "Teacher, if my child is disobedient, you will beat him to death, it doesn't matter." Parents.

As a result, the teacher only asked his son to stand for one class, and the parents ran to the school to reprimand the teacher.

'Neither of the two old men is worry-free......

After listening to the "story", Jiang Beiran looked at Mu Yao, who repeatedly wanted to speak, and said, "What do you have to say?" ”

"No wonder Big Daddy always says that the sect is too corrupt! Listen to this, you can't even stop the sect from oppressing the people, and what face does it boast of being decent, it's really a big laugh! ”

"So what do you think?"

"Find my big daddy! He will definitely clean up those sects. ”

"It's so smart, let the leader of the Demon Sect clean up the decent sect, then do you say that the sect master Guan is standing up for the decent sect? Or do you stand up and do things rightly? ”

Kong Qianqian, who was also listening on the side, couldn't help but ask, "Your Majesty, what's the difference between these two sentences?" ”

Jiang Beiran glanced at her and said, "Good, Qianqian, you better go and peel an orange for me." ”

"Yes." Kong Qianqian ran away after speaking.

Mu Yao, who had already understood Jiang Beiran's meaning on the other side, said, "So if that Guan Sect Master can't realize the seriousness of this problem, there is no other way?" ”

But Jiang Beiran fell silent and did not answer her question.

Jiang Beiran felt that the reason why Guan Shi'an would write such a letter to Deng Bo at that time was that he really had no concept of the emperor and ordinary people, and second, he was only Emperor Xuan at that time, and he did not have such a strong deterrent as now.

So when he encounters this kind of problem, he will naturally not turn against other sects for the sake of a small court.

Now that Guan Shi'an has been nurtured by Yin Jianghong for so long, his concept of the imperial court should change slightly, and he is already a Xuanzong, and his courage should be far greater than before.

"But I don't think it's going to go this way......

Sighing, Jiang Beiran retreated, came to the courtyard by himself, and released the hedgehog carving that Yin Jianghong gave him.

Because he still has one more thing to do before going to Guan Shi'an, that is, the [Tell Yin Jianghong about this conversation afterwards] option that it triggered yesterday has not yet been completed.

Then, in less than a stick of incense, Yin Jianghong had already appeared at the door of the study, but Jiang Beiran was not too surprised.

Although he had already written this matter very clearly in the letter, the two options he jumped yesterday made Jiang Beiran feel that Yin Jianghong should be eavesdropping outside, so he had a lot to talk to himself.

In the courtyard, looking at Jiang Beiran who came out, Yin Jianghong opened his mouth and said: "It's very good, you have set out the key information so quickly, you are really good." ”

Jiang Beiran replied with a smile: "It's not that I'm excellent, but that only when I ask about this matter, that princess is most likely to tell it all." ”
