Lee's house, backyard.

Li Yuande sat there quietly drinking tea, and several middle-aged men were talking with solemn faces beside him.

"Master Hou, the Dongchang and Jinyi Guards set up by His Majesty today are not in line with the ancestral system! If these two institutions are put into operation, what secrets do our officials have? Please also ask Master Hou to persuade Your Majesty. ”

It was Yuan Qianhui, the eldest son of the Dongqing Marquis, who spoke, who was also the one who was impeached madly by the court, and the rest of the people were also descendants of the six marquis of Donghai Prefecture.

In fact, Yuan Qianhui and the others were a little dissatisfied with Xia Ren, and they took a great risk to support Xia Ren, but after Xia Ren ascended the throne, they rewarded them with some yellow and white things, and there was no actual benefit at all.

Now Xia Ren still wants to hang a knife on their heads, so in a fit of anger, he came to Li Yuande to call the shots.

Li Yuande didn't look up, still sipping tea elegantly over there.

After a while, he said lightly: "Does your father know about these things?"

Yuan Qianhui shook his head and said, "I don't know yet, I just sent the news out, and it is estimated that it will take some time for my father and them to receive it." ”

"Since your father doesn't know, what are you anxious about? Or is it all up to you to decide what happened to your family?"

"Uh... That's not true, but my father probably won't agree to it. ”

Li Yuande raised his head, glanced at Yuan Qianhui, and said calmly: "Wait until your father has news, since you can't be the master, what's the use of saying this? ”

After speaking, Li Yuande didn't care about them, and tasted tea alone.

Li Fu walked out from the side and made a gesture to Yuan Qianhui and them, Yuan Qianhui wanted to speak and stopped, but seeing that Li Yuande didn't mean to speak, he had to sigh, "Then disturb Master Hou." ”

After speaking, he walked out with Li Fu.

Watching a few people leave, Li Yuande slowly put down the teacup in his hand, looked in the direction of the palace, and sighed.

In fact, Li Yuande has long known that Xia Ren is not a peaceful person, and he is very decisive in doing things, don't look at the usual smiles when talking to you, but when he starts, he is also ruthless.

Through the content of this court meeting, Li Yuande also determined some thoughts in his heart, that is, Xia Ren is estimated to do something to the family soon.

Judging from the measures of the previous generation of Emperor Xia, it is known that the royal family is about to lose patience with the family, and in Xia Ren's generation, it is estimated that this situation will be even more serious.

Sure enough, as soon as Xia Ren took office, he set up Dongchang and Jinyiwei, and promoted candidates to the cabinet and military aircraft department, all signs show that Xia Ren has done more decisively than the previous Xia emperors.

But what does this have to do with his Li family? Their Li family is only a family that has been inherited for less than a hundred years, and there are only a few people in the family, and Li Yuande has never been going to do the same thing as a family and control the hearts of the local people.

So just now Yuan Qianhui and the others came to find him, but he was rejected, because this is the general trend, and it is not something that a few people can stop, if he rashly intervenes, it is estimated that the little affection of his Li family in front of Xia Ren will be broken.

"I hope Yuan Dongqing and they won't be stupid. ”

Li Yuande sighed and muttered.

......

In the imperial study, at this time Xia Ren was reading the chapter, and sometimes Xia Ren would go to the Mingxin Palace to deal with government affairs, but most of the time, Xia Ren would stay in the imperial study.

After watching the concert for a while, Xia Ren didn't feel that there was anything wrong, anyway, with Liu Bowen and them in control, he was relieved. Besides, he doesn't understand it very well, but he still has to pretend to be a daily look.

put down the chapter and instructed Cao Zhengchun on the side: "Cao Zhengchun, pass on the decree to the Tai Hospital, and order Zhang Ji to serve as the head of the hospital, and everything in the Tai Hospital in the future must be approved by Zhang Ji." ”

After speaking, he spoke again: "Go and bring Xiongba and Moban, I want to see them." ”

Cao Zhengchun responded respectfully and went down.

After a while, Xiongba and Moban arrived.

"See Your Majesty. ”

"Excuse me. ”

Then Xia Ren looked at Xiongba and asked, "You've already met with Huang Yaoshi and them in the past few days, right?"

Xiongba replied: "I've seen it, and now they are in the summer capital." ”

Xia Ren nodded, and then said, "You are ready to set off in the next few days, first go to the west to establish the Tianxia Society, and bring Huang Yaoshi and them all, otherwise there will be not enough manpower." ”

"After you have established the Tianxia Society, you must quickly unify the Sizhou Sect Realm, and then find out the detailed information of the Danding Pavilion and the Fighting Holy Sect for me, these two sects will inevitably take them under my command in the future. ”

"If you lack any resources, go directly to Shen Wansan of the Treasure Chamber of Commerce when the time comes, and he will help you. ”

Xiongba clenched his fists and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, rest assured, your subordinates will quickly unify the Sizhou sect realm and find out the information of the Danding Pavilion and the Fighting Holy Sect clearly." ”

"Well, I will inform you when the time comes, and your main task at present is to first develop and grow the world, at least no worse than the previous Wuji Demon Palace. ”

After instructing Xiongba, Xia Ren looked at Moban again, "Moban, after a while, I am going to do some cleanup of the positions in the DPRK, and then I will list the Ministry of Industry separately, and you will be the secretary of the Ministry of Industry." ”

Moban nodded with a smile and said, "I respect your majesty's orders." ”

Then, Xia Ren took out another book and handed it to Moban, and said with a smile: "See if this can be made?"

Moban took the book in Xia Ren's hand and opened it, but when he saw it, he sank into it and forgot the time.

Xia Ren didn't care, picked up the piece in his hand and looked at it quietly.

After a while, Moban came back to his senses, and suddenly remembered that he was in the imperial study, in front of Xia Ren, and hurriedly bowed down and said: "Your Majesty forgives your sins, and the minister was fascinated by it for a while, so he was disrespectful to His Majesty." ”

Xia Ren put down the cantata, shook his head and smiled: "It's okay, can you understand this book?"

Mo Ban nodded excitedly and said: "The technology can be thoroughly understood by the ministers, but building this requires a large number of skilled craftsmen and a large number of resources, so it may not be possible to build it in a short time." ”

Xia Ren waved his hand and said: "Resources are not a problem, as for manpower, after you sit in the Ministry of Industry, the craftsmen in the world will be under your control, and you will recruit people for training by yourself when the time comes, as long as I have the result, it doesn't matter if the time is longer." ”

The sun sets and the moon rises, time passes, and three days have passed in the blink of an eye.

It was another court meeting, and Xia Ren sat on it as usual and waited for the hundred officials below to play.

After a while, no one started playing, and Xia Ren looked at Yue Fei slightly.

Yue Fei suddenly understood, stood up and shouted: "Your Majesty, Weichen has something to do." ”

"Exactly. ”

"Your Majesty, since Weichen was appointed by His Majesty as the Minister of Military Aircraft, he has been checking the archives of our army, and found that when our army and the Great Chu army fought, they often lost, although there are reasons for strength, but there are also reasons for the gap in numbers, so Weichen suggested that the number of the ten major legions be expanded to 500,000. ”

As soon as Yue Fei's words fell, among the hundreds of officials, those who belonged to the military were in an uproar.

Several of them, who looked like they were in a big position, glanced at each other, stood up and said in unison: "Your Majesty, the ministers and others seconded the proposal, and they also hope to increase the number of legions. ”

Xia Ren didn't answer, but looked at the hundred officials below and asked, "Do the rest of the Qing family have different ideas?"

No one said anything, the people in the military were eager for this decision to pass, and those Wenchen didn't want to offend the military, and who didn't know that Yue Fei was the person who Xia Ren had just proposed to enter the military plane, and at this time, Yue Fei's suggestion was that without Xia Ren's instructions, the ghost would believe it.

Seeing that no one was silent below, Xia Ren said in a deep voice: "Quasi-play, I will issue an order later, so that the ten major legions will adjust the number of people to 500,000." ”

After speaking, he spoke again: "Do you have anything to do?"

Liu Bowen stood up, bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, Weichen has something to play." ”

As soon as Liu Bowen stood up, the hundreds of officials below were suddenly startled in their hearts, and a sense of uneasiness suddenly rose, and there was another moth.

"Prime Minister, please speak. ”

Liu Bowen pondered for a while, and said slowly: "Your Majesty, in the past few days, Weichen has looked through the titles of the official positions of various ministries in Daxia, and found that many positions are fictitious, and there is no special job, so Weichen suggested that these positions be eliminated, and the saved Yulu should be used as military salary." ”

Xia Ren was suddenly "shocked" and asked Liu Bowen, "Is this indeed the case?"

Liu Bowen nodded and said, "It is true, and the minister does not dare to bully the king." ”

Xia Ren's face changed, and he shouted at the hundred officials below with some ugliness: "Why hasn't anyone mentioned these things before? Are you all blind? Or are you all one of these fictitious positions?"

The hundred officials didn't dare to say anything, in case they came out to say something, whether it was right or wrong, they would beat you into Dali Temple first, and it would be over, and they could only bow their heads and pretend to be dead.

And this matter has basically become the unspoken rule of the family and the imperial court, no one has mentioned it in the previous Xia Emperor, and now as soon as Xia Ren asked, everyone below didn't know how to answer, could it be that this is a potential rule? I'm afraid that the head will fall to the ground as soon as he finishes speaking.

Through these several court contacts, Baiguan also discovered that Xia Ren didn't seem to be a foolish person, on the contrary, the methods were very fierce and domineering, and if he was not careful, he would be unlucky.

Moreover, Liu Bowen also suggested that these saved Yulu should be used as military salaries, so the military would be very happy, and he had just accepted Xia Ren's affection, so it is estimated that if anyone objects at this time, military officials will definitely come out to refute it.

After a while, seeing that no one spoke, Xia Ren's face softened, and then he instructed Liu Bowen: "Prime Minister, you make a list of these official positions, and then hand them over to me, I will put all these people who steal the country's money into prison, and these positions will also be abolished by me." ”

Liu Bowen bowed and said, "Weichen obeys." ”

After saying this, Xia Ren asked with a calm face, "Is there anything else going on in the Zhongqing family?"

When Baiguan saw that Xia Ren's face was so ugly, he originally wanted to suggest that Xia Ren take back Dongchang and Jinyiwei's words, but he suddenly didn't dare to say it.

Xia Ren was angry at this time, if these things annoyed Xia Ren, I was afraid that it would be blood mold, so these ministers were ready to wait for Xia Ren to be in a better mood before mentioning it.

After a while, seeing that no one spoke, Xia Ren said lightly: "Retreat." ”

Then he was the first to leave.
