When the forbidden army in the palace of 30,000 Shu kings entered the palace of Haojing with their attendants and palace maids, this palace that had been sealed for a long time finally restored its former style.

It's just that for the Xia family, they are quite contradictory. When they entered the former capital, the foundation of the Xia clan, they found that everything had changed. Even, it is even stranger than them above the court of the Shu Kingdom.

Today, the people only know the prime minister of the Great Zhou, but they don't know at all about them, the clans of the Xia family, the former masters of the Great Zhou.

"Wait for the Son of Heaven to meet the Son of Heaven!"

Above the court, Xia Gong Nirvana, dressed in twelve seals and wearing a crown, sat on the broad throne. Maybe it's because of the demon seed that swallowed the Demon Emperor, Xia Gong Nirvana is more precocious than his peers, and his body develops faster, just like a hanger, and he looks good on any clothes he wears.

All officials wore court clothes, but Yang Xian was an exception. He stood at the front of the court, too young compared to the old man in the court.

"Get up!"

The crisp voice resounded in the court, and Xia Gongni waved his hand slightly, and his small appearance looked very stable.

"The minister has something to do!"

The courtier who came out was named Xia Jieshu, who was the leader of the 30,000 forbidden army and a member of the Xia clan, who was in his thirties, but his face was full of edges and corners.

"What?"

Xia Gongni's voice was not as agile as before, on the contrary, it was a little rigid because of the deliberate suppression, but it was very suitable for this court.

"Fortunately, thanks to the virtue of the Son of Heaven, Liang Rebellion was swept away. It's just that this pickaxe capital is the western capital of my Great Zhou, and the vast palace city is not comparable to the string city. 30,000 forbidden troops may not be enough to protect the residence of the Son of Heaven. Ministers, please expand the forbidden army! ”

The voice of Xi Suo Suo sounded above the court, and it was obvious that Xia Jieshu's actions were somewhat abnormal. The Son of Heaven has not yet been in power, and now all military and political affairs are handled by the Prime Minister's Office.

Now the Zhou army in Yongzhou is expanding, whether it is the Changce army or the Zhichong army, or the black army guarding Cangqiu. The Zhou army was digesting the fruits of the war, and the military, government, and people's livelihood made big moves.

There is nothing for the forbidden army to expand, but the Prime Minister's Mansion did not disclose any wind in advance, which is really unreasonable.

It is more likely that this matter did not go through the Prime Minister's Office beforehand. Instead, the Xia family deliberately wanted to bypass the Prime Minister's Mansion, make a final decision on this court, and do things practically.

This can be said to be the Xia clan challenging the Prime Minister's Mansion, because it was Yang Xian who controlled the politics of Shu in the past, but there was one piece that did not move after all, that is, the 30,000 forbidden troops belonging to the Xia clan in the Shu Palace.

Chang Yu smiled slightly in his heart, but he didn't make a sound, standing in front of the courtiers' queue, silent. This is an internal contradiction within the Great Zhou, and it is also an irreconcilable contradiction, and it may become more and more intense in the future.

In Xia Jieshu's view, he is guarding the virtue of the Son of Heaven and the last position of the Xia clan. Even if Yang Xian really has bad intentions in the future, they will not have no room for resistance.

But in Xia Gongni's opinion, this is not the case at all.

"Expand the army! How much do you want to expand? ”

"According to Chen's estimate, it has expanded to 70,000 people, which can protect the imperial city."

Xia Jieshu didn't dare to say it ruthlessly, and gave a conservative number. In fact, what he wanted to say was 100,000. He even wanted to say the more the merrier, if it was possible.

The greater the number of forbidden troops, the more secure the Xia clan became.

"Seventy thousand!"

Xia Gong Nei exclaimed, her little eyes widening.

Yang Xian is very familiar with such a voice, it is the sound of the iron rooster about to be plucked.

Now the finances of the Great Zhou have passed through the Prime Minister's Mansion, but in order to maintain the loyalty of the forbidden army to the Xia family, the military expenses of this part are borne by the Xia family themselves.

In other words, these 30,000 forbidden troops were raised by the Xia family themselves. To be exact, a considerable part of the payment was made from the inner treasury of the summer palace Nirvana.

Yang Xian only has the right to supervise this inner library, and has no right to use it.

And once the number of forbidden troops is increased to 70,000, it will be equivalent to more than double the amount of money that Xia Gong Ni's small Neku will have to pay.

"Aiqing is very worried, but the situation is not stable, and the government is in a tight supply, so the palace guards might as well recruit the Changce soldiers outside the city to fill in!"

Xia Gong Nirvana is very big-hearted and doesn't care at all. In her opinion, letting Changce Army enter the palace guard not only saves money, but also makes it very convenient.

But it doesn't mean that Xia is as big as her.

Just kidding, let Yang Xian's soldiers enter the palace, it is better not to expand the army, just let it go.

It's okay that Xia Gong Ni didn't say it, as soon as he said this, a large number of courtiers came out of the court, most of them were officials of the Xia family.

They gave all kinds of reasons, some said that the Changce army had a great responsibility, some said that the Changce army was not good at guarding and defending, and even said that the palace was sacred, and the Changce soldiers were not suitable to enter if they were bloody.

All in all, the officials of the Xia clan tried to prove and reject the idea of Xia Gong Nirvana from various angles.

In the end, Xia Gongni was a little impatient, she looked at Yang Xian, a little anxious.

Father, you have something to say! I can't stand it anymore!

Yang Xian, who had not spoken out all this time, walked out and said: "The palace guards are heavy, and 30,000 forbidden troops alone are not enough to bear it, what General Huben said is extremely true. Huan rebelled and stole people's wealth, and now he has fled, and there is a large area of fertile land in the south of the city. The minister suggested that this be deposited into the treasury of the inner court and used as a source of support for the forbidden army. As for the candidates for the forbidden army, Guan Shuliang's son can be selected to fill the position. The number of forbidden troops was set at about 50,000. ”

Yes! Don't you have to pay for me?

Xia Gongni listened to Yang Xian's words, and suddenly became enlightened, and nodded very cooperatively.

"What my father said is very true, just take my father's words and do it!"

A group of Xia courtiers were suspicious, but instead of objecting, Yang Xian paid to help them?

Yang Xian naturally did not do this because he wanted to compromise with the Xia family, he knew very well what the Xia family had in mind. But I also know that Xia Jieshu is right, with only 30,000 forbidden troops, it is indeed difficult to protect this huge Imperial City of Hojing.

"If there's nothing to do, let's retreat!"

Xia Gong Nirvana waved his small hand, stood up from the throne, and walked down to the side.

The courtiers withdrew from the Longxing Hall one after another, and Chang Yu just wanted to go out, but was stopped by a voice.

"Master Taifu, after so many years, I didn't expect to see you again!"

Chang Yu turned his head and looked to the side.

"It's a constant servant!"

Jian Chang came over, and he couldn't say how much he liked this Great Zhou elder in his heart, but was very jealous. However, at this moment, the Xia clan became precarious under Yang Xian's hands, and he had to find a way to gather strength.

And Chang Yu is an object worth wooing.

"I haven't seen you for many years, make an appointment, can Master Taifu have a drink with me?"

"But it's disrespectful!"

Chang Yu didn't object, and he didn't need to object, they each smiled and went to each other.
