180. Early dynasty

Half an hour later, the alley was filled with blood.

"Damn, a total of ten people are still so capable of fighting, fighting so many of my brothers!"

Brother Hua stepped on the leader of the second group and spat on his face.

The eyes of the second group leader widened angrily, "You ***, if it weren't for the ghosts on our side, you would have been killed by us a long time ago!"

Hua Ge picked up the broken knife on the ground and stuck it in the neck of the second group leader, ending his life.

"Hmph, the dog's legs under the emperor's feet, you guys are a fart when you get out of Jingzhou!"

Brother Hua beckoned, "Finish the work, put the dead ones away, someone will wipe our butts, and the living ones will go with me to Brother Hao to ask for wine money!"

"Woohoo~!"

There were a few strange screams in the alley, the bandits' eyes were crazy, and their faces were full of fun and joy, how could anyone care about the life or death of their companions?

It's a bunch of crazed outlaws! ……

Early morning, Jingzhou City, Imperial Palace

The courtiers met Emperor Wu of Xia and began the early dynasty.

"Xuan'an Xiuyuan!"

As the first thing in the early dynasty, An Xiuyuan can be said to have earned enough eyeballs.

"An Xiuyuan? Is that the kid who has settled in the second room?"

"After so many years of obscurity, why was he summoned by the emperor today?"

An Yuanwei and An Yuankai looked at each other, and they were very surprised, not to mention others, even their own family members didn't hear a little rumor.

Outside the main hall, An Xiuyuan's face was calm and he walked slowly.

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor summoned and said, today An Xiuyuan has both ability and political integrity, and has the heart to serve the country, recommended by the Ministry of Shangshu Lan Kaiji, and specially appointed An Xiuyuan as a doctor of Jiayi, and the official is a three-grade!"

As soon as these words came out, they immediately caused an uproar in the court.

"This ...... Did any of you hear anything beforehand?"

"Out of thin air, there is one more third-grade master!"

"The An family has been rewarded this time, I'm afraid that they will directly become the number one family in Jingzhou!"

"It's still Concubine An who is favored in the harem!"

It is a *** of the Chi family who speaks, and the current queen is also surnamed Chi, so they are naturally relatives of the emperor, but now that they see that the An family is in the limelight, they are naturally sour when they speak.

"Oh, Lao Chi, don't say anything more."

A person who was good friends with Lao Chi next to him persuaded: "It's just a literary and loose official, with an empty official rank and no real power."

"Minister, An Xiuyuan, thank the emperor!"

Emperor Xia Wu bowed slightly, "Start the early dynasty now!"

An Xiuyuan's appointment did not make too many waves, although none of the ministers could understand Emperor Xiawu's intentions, but there was not much controversy, and they said what they wanted to report in turn.

And An Xiuyuan himself didn't take the initiative to talk to others, nor did he go to the two brothers of the An family, and stood quietly in the crowd as if the appointment just now had nothing to do with him.

"Your Majesty, a new sect has emerged in Liaozhou, and there has been repeated friction with the defenders of Taocheng!"

"Your Majesty, regarding the recent erasure of low-level officials in many places, Wechen believes that the crackdown should be strengthened and the quality of basic officials should be enhanced."

An Yuanwei bowed and said, "Your Majesty, now that the base of monks has risen in adulthood, Weichen thinks that civil officials should also strengthen their comprehensive quality when they enter the court!"

"Your Majesty, Weichen thinks it can't!"

Geng Jian, who was also a servant of the ministry, retorted:

"Wechen believes that if too many elements of monks are added to the civil service test, it will inevitably lead to the selection of talents becoming difficult to control."

An Yuanwei argued, "This is not true, throughout the hundred years of Great Xia, there is no sect that has been poorly managed because it is full of monks, and the small sect is still like this, so why should my Great Xia Dynasty be afraid of it?"

Geng Jian glanced at An Yuanwei and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, what An Yuanwei said lacks consideration, Yichen believes that when the power of civil officials and monks are tied together, it will no longer be pure, and it will only increase the difficulty of selecting talents!"

An Yuanwei's face sank, "What Geng Shilang said is too one-sided, and it is really short-sighted! If the civil servant can't be concerned

With the times, it is a waste of armed resources to still be powerless! Just imagine, if an ordinary martial artist who cultivates to only two or three grades can also manipulate the civil officials of our dynasty at will, wouldn't it be a big joke in the world!"

An Yuanwei's words were convincing and full of neutrality, and with the argument between the two, the people in the court were also thinking along with their thoughts.

Emperor Xia Wu pondered for a moment, "What do all Aiqing think?"

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that there should be no restrictions on cultivation in the selection of civil officials!"

"The minister thinks ......"

Many voices instantly sounded in the main hall, but most of them supported Geng Jian.

An Yuanwei's face was as usual, he had long expected this situation, and his and Geng Jian's views could not be said who was right and who was wrong, but this incident itself moved a large part of the people's cake.

Over the years, there have been many idlers raised by the imperial court, these people are idle officials, who have no real power, and they still hold the court's fortune without doing practical things.

Where do these people come from? Naturally, some families transported their useless waste children to the bright side to eat empty salaries, so An Yuanwei's words instantly made some nobles unable to sit still.

Emperor Xia Wu pressed down, and the ministers suddenly quieted down.

"I'll reconsider this matter, and I'll not discuss it now."

The voices gradually stopped, and An Xiuyuan, who had been silent, suddenly stood up.

"Your Majesty, the minister has a matter."

"Speak."

"The minister borrowed what An Shilang said just now, and thinks that there are too many conflicts between the Criminal Department and the Beizhen Fu Division in the matter of armed resources!"

An Xiuyuan's face was calm, but the words he said were like throwing a stone into the calm lake, and one stone stirred up a thousand waves!

"How's that going to work!?"

Yao Gaozhuo, the secretary of the Criminal Department, was the first to stand up, "The Three Princes and the Six Divisions are the inheritance of ancient humanities, how can the Beizhen Fusi be compared to them!"

An Xiuyuan replied calmly: "It was before, and now it is now, after the changes in heaven and earth, the number of monks has risen sharply, and how many ordinary people are left? All county officials belong to the Criminal Department, and now the people do not obey the law, and it is difficult to enforce the law strictly.

Yao Gaozhuo's face sank like water, "Do you know how much work the Criminal Department has every day? Why don't you let the Beizhen Fusi merge into the Criminal Department!"

An Xiuyuan said lightly: "The reason is very simple, the Beizhen Fusi and the Beiluo Academy are both important human resources of the Great Xia Dynasty, and they only belong to Your Majesty, and your little criminal department is not qualified to merge with the Beizhen Fusi."

As soon as these words came out, the ministers in the lobby fell silent, and several *** of the criminal department who were indignant just now stopped making a sound at this time.

Yao Gaozhuo also realized that there was something wrong with what he said, his face changed, and he hurriedly said to Emperor Xia Wu:

"Your Majesty, Weichen is just anxious, he doesn't choose what to say, and he doesn't have any thoughts about Beizhen Fusi!"

Emperor Xia Wu's gaze swept over Yao Gaozhuo, "Zhong Aiqing still has something to report?"

The ministers replied in unison, "None."

Emperor Xia Wu got up and said, "Then today's morning dynasty is here, let's disperse!"

"Long live Your Majesty, long live, long live!"

The ministers retired, and finally Emperor Xia Wu did not pay attention to Yao Gaozhuo, the secretary of the Criminal Department, and many people walked past him and did not dare to support him, it is rumored that Yao Gaozhuo knelt until noon, and Emperor Xia Wu let him leave.

"Xiuyuan, why did you suddenly enter the court?" 1

When retreating, An Yuankai and An Yuanwei leaned over for the first time.

An Yuankai only knew that An Xiuyuan had some business in Jizhou City, but the specific situation was not clear to the An family, but over the years, An Xiuyuan had worked hard in terms of relationships.

An Yuankai also asked An Xiuyuan, but An Xiuyuan was only vague every time, which was very mysterious, and no one asked again after a long time.

An Yuanwei smiled: "Second brother, you can really hold back, this time you are higher than my official position!"

An Xiuyuan smiled, "What kind of official is not an official position, but it is just a false name."

An Yuanwei sighed: "I didn't expect that the second brother, you and Lan Kaiji still have a lot to do with each other!"

An Xiuyuan smiled, "I was in contact with it a few years ago, didn't this make him work hard when you took over?"

An Yuanwei was moved in his heart, and then reminded: "Second brother, it's not a wise move to offend the Criminal Department just after entering the court, if you do this, will the helmsman of the Beizhen Fusi buy your account?"

An Xiuyuan turned his head and asked, "Then didn't you also offend the nobles of the Geng family?"

An Yuanwei was speechless, An Xiuyuan patted him on the shoulder, "I just want to do something practical."

An Yuankai waved his hand and said, "Oh, don't talk about this, Xiuyuan hasn't been back for more than a month, and I just don't have anything to do today, let's go back to An's house for a meal together!"

"Good!" ……

Jizhou City, the headquarters of Fusi in Beizhen

"What? Xue Cheng's team was wiped out??"

The captain Chang listened to the report of the team members with a drastic change in his face, and shouted, "Gather all the captains immediately, and the meeting will start in ten minutes!"

Ten minutes later, the nine existing captains, including Shen Jiang, rushed to the council hall along with the other two captains.

"Our operations are absolutely secretive, and there is no problem with tactics, how can it be leaked?"

One of the captains was puzzled and clutched at his hair in frustration.

Shen Jiang turned his head and asked, "What information do we have now?"

Chang Ran said in a deep voice: "Now I can only know that it was the group of guys from the White Flag who did it, they know our tactics very well, and they know the characteristics of our equipment, the average combat quality is not high, but there are a large number of people."

One of the captains suddenly stood up and said angrily, "Fuck, Beizhen Fusi has been established for so many years, and I have never heard of anyone being able to eat us, it must be something wrong with us, otherwise the other party would not even know so much about the number of people and time of our actions!"

Chang Ran said in a cold voice: "The impact of this matter on the ground is extremely bad, we must immediately send another team to the Qulang, this operation will minimize the battle damage, but be sure to find out the opponent's path!"

The captain next to him frowned and said, "But the rest of the team is still out on a mission......

Chang Ran turned his head and asked, "Shen Jiang, how is the training of the batch of newcomers in your hand, can you use it?"

Shen Jiang hesitated for a moment, and said seriously: "There is no problem, I guarantee to complete the task!"

"Good!"

Chang stood up proudly and said loudly: "Special Order Shenjiang ordered the team to take over the tenth, and arrive at the Qulang within three days!"
