On the night of the morning dynasty, in the imperial study, Mu Guiying looked at Qin Tian, wanting to say something, but he didn't know how to speak. Qin Tian seemed to understand something from her eyes.

Qin Tian then said to Mu Guiying: Gui Ying! Although I killed a lot of people today, I am not killing indiscriminately, they have all done some things that are not good for the kingdom with Gao Yu to a greater or lesser extent, and they are innocent! Mu Guiying breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, she was worried that Qin Tian would kill innocents indiscriminately, kill Zhongliang by mistake, and become a tyrant, so that people in the world would chew on the root of their tongues.

Outside the imperial study, the Shangshu of the Criminal Department was already waiting for Qin Tian's summons here. Liu Yi, the secretary of the Xuanxing Department, met him, and the piercing voice of the eunuch sounded. Wei Chen greeted Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live! Liu Yi knelt on the ground and shouted.

Qin Tian sat on the dragon bed, looked at Liu Yi, the secretary of the Criminal Department, and asked: Lord Liu, can you gain anything from raiding your home this time? Back to Your Majesty, this time more than 600 households were raided, and more than one billion low-grade spirit stones were seized, and countless antique cultural relics, elixirs, martial arts, and divine weapons were seized.

Qin Tian sneered: My Yanlong Kingdom only has a tax revenue of 100 million spirit stones a year, and after deducting all expenses, it is already very good to be able to have 10 million spirit stones into the treasury. But these ministers under my hands, the things seized add up, it is equivalent to decades of income from the national treasury, it seems that the ministers under my hands are all good at collecting money!

It is no wonder that floods occurred in Linchuan County, Nanban County, and Yunshui County, and millions of victims were displaced, and the suffering was unspeakable! It turned out that these were all good deeds done by these corrupt ministers of the kingdom!

Qin Tian stared at Liu Yi, the secretary of the Criminal Department, and asked, "You say, should I set up a plaque next to their graves to commend their methods of collecting money?"

Liu Yi suddenly had cold sweat on his forehead, although he was an old minister and loyal to the royal family, he had more or less received gifts from the officials below in private.

If Qin Tian raided their home, there would be no 100 million spirit stones, but there would definitely be millions. If Qin Tian used the question to play, they would all be finished. However, it was obvious that he was thinking too much, Qin Tian would not make a move against them for the time being, but he might not be able to say in the future.

After a moment of silence, Qin Tian pondered and said: Liu Yi, after you go back, warn me about those courtiers who are still corrupting, and clean up my hands and feet in the future, I won't trouble them with how much black money I collected before, but I must hand over half of it to the treasury, and I will not be allowed to accept bribes in the future. Yes, Weichen commanded!

Your Majesty, the minister still has a book to play. Liu Yijin said. What's the matter, Your Majesty, have you forgotten the King of Zhennan? Liu Yi said cautiously to Qin Tian.

Qin Tiandao: Liu Yi, what are you doing with my imperial uncle mentioning Qin Feng, the king of Zhennan? Your Majesty, the king of Zhennan is the generalissimo of the kingdom's soldiers and horses, with millions of elite soldiers, when the emperor was alive, he once revealed his ambition for the throne of the Yanlong Kingdom, and Your Majesty has to guard against it!

Qin Tian waved his hand to interrupt Liu Yi's words, and said indifferently: The Yanlong Kingdom is my kingdom, not Qin Feng's kingdom.

However, Your Majesty, if the King of Zhennan takes advantage of the current instability in the court and the confusion of the people's hearts and the army, and rises up to rebel, how should we deal with it? The total number of soldiers under our command is only about 300,000, and there are only 150,000 Janissaries who can fight, so how can we stop the millions of elite soldiers of the King of Zhennan? At that time, I am afraid that the prime minister's action will not help! Liu Yi said with a wry smile.

Qin Tian groaned slightly, and said, "Uncle Huang, he won't rebel in a short period of time!Your Majesty, what do you mean by this?" Liu Yi asked Qin Tian suspiciously. According to the cautious character of my good imperial uncle, I will not rebel until I find out my strength and the power I have!

Okay, this matter is stopped, you go back! Although Liu Yi was a little skeptical of Qin Tian's words, he didn't dare to say anything more, so he answered and turned to leave!

Qin Tian sat on the dragon bed, groaned slightly, and commanded the eunuch standing at the door of the imperial study: Spread Zhang Liang and Gao Shun to meet them. Yes, Your Majesty, the minions are going to inform the two adults to come to the Imperial Study!

A quarter of an hour later, Zhang Liang and Gao Shun arrived. Zhang Liang asked Qin Tian respectfully: Your Majesty, you came to us, is there anything you want us to do?

Ofan, you are known as a sage, can you guess what I am thinking now?" Qin Tian asked rhetorically. Zhang Liang was stunned for a moment, and after thinking for a moment, he said: Your Majesty, are you thinking about the next plan of the kingdom?

It is worthy of seeking a saint, my mind, you can guess it!" Qin Tian praised. Zhang Liang said: Your Majesty, the minister is just lucky this time! Qin Tian continued: Don't be modest, help me analyze the current predicament of the kingdom!

After thinking for a long time, Zhang Liang said: The kingdom is now facing three dilemmas, the first is that the government is unstable, and so many ministers have been killed before, and the court must be allowed to run again; the second is the pressure from the Seven Star Sect on the imperial court, don't look at the current loss of most of the strength in the Seven Star Sect, but their foundation is there; the third is the threat from Qin Feng, the king of Zhennan, who has sent a dead man to assassinate His Majesty!

After listening to this, Qin Tian asked: You say, how should I solve these three dilemmas? Gao Shun said embarrassedly: Your Majesty, if you want to ask about the march and war, I may have a way, but I can't solve the first two problems, I think the third problem is really a little tricky!

Your Majesty, it is said that the King of Zhennan secretly sent assassins to assassinate His Majesty, and His Majesty could have beheaded him a long time ago, but he has millions of elite soldiers in his hands, and we simply don't have enough troops to fight against him now, so this matter is very difficult to solve!

The minister suggested that His Majesty should not clash with the king of Zhennan for the time being, and silently develop his own army. When the combat effectiveness of our army is formed, the minister is confident that he does not need a million army, but only needs 500,000 troops to defeat all the troops of the king of Zhennan head-on.

Zhang Liang followed closely and said: "Your Majesty, the minister also means this, don't move King Zhennan for the time being, when we are not 100% sure of defeating him, we can't move him yet!"

Qin Tian groaned: Don't worry, I'm not a person who can't see the comparison of the strengths of the two sides! This matter will be done according to what you say, now let's talk about the first two dilemmas! Your Majesty, leave it to Master Zhang! Gao Shun said with a smile.

Qin Tian nodded, and asked Zhang Liang: "Zifang, you can talk about it!" Your Majesty, the second question is not to worry about at all, what should really be worried now is the Seven Star Sect, they have lost most of the strength in the sect, and their strength has been weakened by more than half, although there is only one Seven Star Sect within a radius of a hundred miles, but there are more than a dozen other large and small sects combined.

They are pressed by the Seven Star Sect on weekdays, and those sects will definitely unite to find trouble with the Seven Star Sect, we just need to sit firmly on the Diaoyu Tai and watch the show!

Qin Tian asked again: Now let's talk about the first question! Zhang Liangdao: Your Majesty, the real power of the ministers lies in the strategy, not the power of the strategy, therefore, in this regard, please don't blame Your Majesty if there is anything wrong! Weichen's suggestion is to let the Tingtianwei supervise the remaining courtiers, select the past with good conduct, ability and talent, and then let them take up important positions in the kingdom, and as for the vacant positions, then look for talented people from the people!

This suggestion is actually very useful, not only to stabilize the hearts of the ministers, but also to discover more excellent talents. It's just that the implementation is not so simple, especially to find talented people from the people, and in a few years, it is impossible to restore the court to its former state.

Qin Tian muttered: This matter is not decided for the time being, let's take a look at the arrangements on Liu Ming's side, if not, let's discuss it again! Minister, obey the order! Now you go back to the mansion to rest first, Qin Tian commanded!
