Chapter 297: King Wei's lamp is dark

"Your Majesty, the local branches of the Hanging Sword Division have begun to erode."

Xiao Chaoguo sighed.

"Oh?"

Xiao Pingsi was a little surprised: "I didn't expect you to say it in person so soon." ”

"Your Majesty knows?" Xiao Chaoguo was also surprised.

"The people of the Qidi Division have been escorted back, of course I know."

Xiao Chaoguo nodded: "Not only Qidi, but also the entire northwest, more than half of the divisions in various places have problems, and the deputy ministers are basically deeply involved, and the ministers are not strict in discipline, please ask Your Majesty to surrender." ”

Xiao Pingsi picked up the warm tea by the brazier and took a sip.

"It's been almost twenty years since I ascended the throne, is the problem of the Hanging Sword Division only today?"

"If you are guilty, then all the officials in the world have committed crimes, will I also have to make a condemnation of my own crimes?" Xiao Pingsi scoffed.

Xiao Chaoguo: "Your Majesty ......"

He didn't expect that His Majesty would actually say this, without taking the opportunity to suppress him or weaken the Hanging Sword Division.

Very unexpected.

"The local government, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, it has been like this since ancient times, the authority is in hand, and the treacherous heart arises."

Xiao Pingsi said disdainfully: "If someone messes with the law, then kill a hundred people, or simply change blood, my Great Xia is not without talent." ”

"It's hard to find the talents of the first assistant famous general, and there is still a shortage of people in the Hanging Sword Division?"

Great Xia is full of talents, and Xiao Pingsi is not worried that the Hanging Sword Division will be paralyzed.

This kind of thing, just change people, and you can change it all the time.

is not a senior official in charge of government affairs or military affairs, those officials can't move easily, and they have to think about how to replace them, but except for the first seat in the Hanging Sword Division, Xiao Pingsi can be exchanged for anyone.

There are no special requirements for the talents needed by the Hanging Sword Division, as long as they can pass the review, anyone can get them.

No matter how turbid the world is, there are countless honest people who can be appointed.

"Your Majesty's chest is as wide as the sea, and he is not sad about things, and the minister is really not as graceful as His Majesty." Xiao Chaoguo laughed at himself.

"Grace is grace, law is law, a person who should be guilty, what to do with it is up to you, and the sword division in various places will also send a messenger to investigate." Xiao Ping Silicon Road.

Xiao Chaoguo agreed: "Your Majesty is wise, and the ministers have this intention, only in the northwest, and the rest of the local government is afraid that there will be some discord." ”

"Your Majesty has been too peaceful and comfortable in these years, and the ministers have been a little paralyzed and slack, so they must be vigilant in the future."

Xiao Pingsi nodded with satisfaction.

What he likes most about Xiao Chaoguo is this.

You can see right and wrong clearly, have a good attitude to admit mistakes, and have a solution, not a waste that you don't know.

Loyalty is important, but if there is no means for it, it is impossible to be entrusted with it.

"Your Majesty......"

Xiao Chaoguo still has something to say.

Xiao Pingsi: "What else do you want to report?" ”

"The minister wants to say that even the Hanging Sword Division is like this, and the rest of the yamen are afraid that they have become more ...... over the years The minister is courageous, for the sake of the long-term peace and stability of Great Xia, I hope that His Majesty will prepare as soon as possible. ”

As he spoke, Xiao Chaoguo bowed deeply and almost knelt down.

Xiao Pingsi glanced coldly: "Are you embarrassed to let me prepare early?" ”

"Isn't that your sword division's duty?"

"Over the years, how slack has the Hanging Sword Division been? Why do you dare not offend anyone when you have children? ”

"Uh......" Xiao Chaoguo was slightly stunned, hearing His Majesty's banter and ridicule.

Immediately prayed:

"Your Majesty is right, it is the duty of the Hanging Sword Division, and the minister wants to ask for a will, lest the Imperial Historical Observatory say that the Hanging Sword Division is domineering and there is no wind and waves."

The Imperial Observatory is almost the opponent of the Hanging Sword Division.

They are all supervision departments, but the Hanging Sword Division has exclusive powers, and the Yushitai can only sue.

Therefore, Yushitai has always disliked the Hanging Sword Division, feeling that he is too specialized, and there is a risk of abuse if he has too much power.

Therefore, the Imperial History Observatory is always staring at the Hanging Sword Division, and as soon as there is a stir, it will play impeachment, which is a fixed program.

"Hehe......"

"If the Hanging Sword Division doesn't dare to offend people, what kind of Imperial Law Division is it, I will hand over this first position to you, just because I know that you dare to offend people."

"If you have any scruples, you can resign, and I can find someone who is not afraid of offending people to take your place...... You can retire and take care of it. Xiao Pingsi pointed to the tunnel.

"Your Majesty forgives your sins!" Xiao Chaoguo panicked.

Seeing that the beating was good, Xiao Pingsi didn't really get angry, and said lightly: "Get up." ”

Xiao Chaoguo stood up nervously, his mood was difficult to calm down, and the emperor said that he could find someone to replace him, which was already the biggest warning.

If you don't make some achievements, I'm afraid that there will be no need for the Hanging Sword Division to exist.

No, it's my own first seat, there is no need to exist!

"Ningzhou's matter, the Hanging Sword Division didn't warn either, do you know that King Ning is about to rebel?" Xiao Pingsi continued to ask.

Xiao Pingsi's face was embarrassed:

"Your Majesty, the minister is slacking."

"Do you know what is right and wrong?" Xiao Pingsi said lightly, "You have been going to the north for a few months, so naturally you can't take care of Ningzhou, but the Ningzhou Hanging Sword Division, I think it's almost corrupt." ”

Ningzhou Hanging Sword Division is not only corrupt.

Not to mention conspiring with King Ning, it must be rebellious.

"Yu Shi just sent a report, and the people of Ningzhou all know that King Ning disobeys the king's teaching, colludes with officials and businessmen, mines privately, and gathers craftsmen to privately cast weapons and coins......"

"If it weren't for King Wei's affair, which involved King Ning, I'm afraid that I would also become a joke like the second King of Liang!"

These words were said gently, but Xiao Chaoguo heard a cold sweat.

"Your Majesty is wronged, it is naturally the sin of your subordinates, please ask Your Majesty to surrender."

Xiao Pingsi said coldly: "Don't be in a hurry to ask for guilt first, I will ask you again, King Wei has been training in the suburbs of Beijing for several years, and the three thousand well-equipped private troops, the Hanging Sword Division actually didn't find out?" ”

"What are you spies for?"

After Xiao Chaoguo came back, he also got a report.

He knew that he would definitely be questioned, and this matter was more serious than the corruption within the Hanging Sword Division.

This is the capital, and there are people in Gyeonggi who raise a private army, and on such a large scale, the Hanging Sword Division is unaware of it?

Did you really not see it, or were you deliberately helping to hide it?

If this is investigated, it will be a very serious sin if there is only one dereliction of duty, because the consequences of dereliction of duty are serious.

"Back to Your Majesty, actually...... In fact, the Hanging Sword Division had long been aware of the private army raised by King Wei in Gyeonggi. Xiao Chaoguo said aggrievedly.

"Smack!"

Xiao Pingsi angrily slapped the case: "Since I already knew, why didn't I report it, did I want to raise my own respect, or did I intend to wait and see?!" ”

"Your Majesty is angry, the minister has no such intention!"

Xiao Chaoguo said again and knelt down.

This time, Xiao Pingsi didn't let him get up easily, and stared at Xiao Chaoguo coldly, if he didn't give an explanation, he was afraid that his first seat would come to an end.

Xiao Chaoguo was helpless and told the truth: "Your Majesty, that batch of private troops, equipment and ordnance with the black dragon cavalry...... Extremely similar in every way......"

As soon as Xiao Pingsi heard this, he immediately understood the reason, and was a little embarrassed.

"After the minister got the report, he always thought that it was His Majesty's black dragon horse...... Whoever dares to spy on the detective, immediately let people shut up, don't track it down......"

The Black Dragon Cavalry, that is the most powerful army in Great Xia, and it is also the last and most powerful hole card in the emperor's hand.

In order to keep it secret, the money and food for raising the black dragon rider are all expenses of the royal treasury, and the household department does not directly handle it.

Therefore, the Black Dragoon is definitely the emperor's forbidden belly!

Anyone, whether it is a prince or a favored minister, dares to covet the black dragon rider, even if it is a snooping one, it is likely to die.

Therefore, although the Manchu Dynasty knew about the Black Dragon Rider, no one had ever targeted the Black Dragon Rider.

That's the emperor's scales, and if you touch it, you will die!

It is precisely because of this reason that even if the Hanging Sword Division discovers King Wei's private army, it does not dare to continue to investigate, because whoever sees the equipment of those private troops will think that it is a black dragon horse.

Who would dare to check the Black Dragoon?

lent Xiao Chaoguo ten guts, but he didn't dare to track it down, so he had the case file sealed early, and he couldn't ask for half a word!

But who would have thought that King Wei actually took advantage of the truth that the light was dark, and in this way, he "grandly" raised a group of private troops comparable to black dragon riders.

"Yuanji's rebel son, but he is really smart, and he actually used my black dragon horse!" Xiao Pingsi laughed angrily, and it was only at this time that he suddenly realized this truth.

Originally, I thought that King Wei imitated the black dragon horse, just to compare the combat power of the black dragon horse.

But no one thought that he could use the black dragon riders near Gyeonggi to cover up his private army.

No matter who found out about King Wei's private army, they would think that it was a black dragon horse, so they didn't dare to track it down or report it...... As soon as you report it, you will be suspected of probing the emperor's black dragon horse, do you still want a future and your life?

Even if the people of the black dragon rider bumped into this group of people, they would not investigate it carefully, and only thought that the emperor had another black dragon rider......

King Wei can think of this trick, it is worthy of being born in royal blood, and his brain is enough.

"It's because the minister is not rigorous enough, he should have told His Majesty at that time, and the truth will not be revealed now." Xiao Chaoguo said fearfully.

Xiao Pingsi coughed: "I can't blame you for this...... Stand up and speak......"
