Chapter 3: Deliberations in the court, assessment of the martial arts

On the seventh day of the first month, Xuanli will be in the court.

"Smack!"

Outside the royal road, there was a crisp whip, and at the gate of the Taiji Palace, a ceremonial official and eunuch wearing a big red python robe walked out, pulling a sharp voice, and shouted loudly: "Hundred officials go to the palace!" ”

Below the royal road, the civil and military officials, who had been waiting for a long time, were dressed and had serious faces, and entered the palace in order of rank.

The cold wind is blowing, the flagpole is straight, and the red background and black dragon pattern flags move with the wind, and the hunting sounds.

Under each dragon flag, there was a forbidden army guard, wearing a ghost tool, wearing black iron armor, carrying a knife at his waist, and exuding a cold feeling on his body, making people dare not approach.

The forbidden army of the Imperial Palace, each of which is an elite soldier selected from the border army, has experienced the battlefield.

The lowest strength, and they are all 'True Blood Realm' martial artists, although there are only six thousand people, they are the strongest army in the Xuanli Kingdom!

Once the strongest soldier of the Yan Kingdom, the heavily armored wolf cavalry, the 30,000 foot soldiers of the Xuan Liguo who were once fought by 3,000 people were defeated, losing their armor and abandoning their armor, but they were broken and sunk in the hands of hundreds of forbidden troops, and more than half of the battle was lost, which shows the terrifying strength of the forbidden army!

Xuanli has three strong troops, the infantry "Tiger Wolf Army", the forbidden army "Praetorian Guard", and the rest is a cavalry, named "Trap Yin Iron Cavalry".

The martial arts cultivation of these three armies is all True Blood Realm, and the number of soldiers has always been maintained at 6,000 people, and the total number of 18,000 people is the accumulation of Xuanli's three hundred years!

Although the Su curtain changed the law, the treasury was relaxed, but the household department was still worried about these three huge military expenditures, so the household department Shangshu did not complain to the former monarch.

And the star master Luo Xuanyin found for the [Jiaosu] is in this trapped iron horse.

Walk through the Danqi jade steps and enter the Taiji Hall.

Many civil and military ministers quietly looked at Luo Xuanyin before he arrived in the main hall, and then turned his gaze to the head of the civil official train.

At the head of the civil official column is a man wearing a purple robe, wearing a goldfish bag, wearing a hat, and his costume is decorated with a phoenix pond pattern.

In the Xuanli court, the third grade or more is purple, the fourth is dark scarlet, the fifth is shallow scarlet, and the gold belt. The sixth-grade suit is dark green, the seventh-grade suit is light green, and the silver belt. The eight-grade suit is dark green, the nine-grade suit is light green, and the stone belt.

Moreover, it is stipulated that all officials in office in the country can go to the court to perform affairs, and it is stipulated that officials above the sixth rank must go to the early court.

Wearing a purple robe and ranking first among civil officials, this person is Prime Minister Xuanli "Su Musha"!

And behind Su Musha was also an old man in a purple robe, and this old man's eyes shone from time to time, giving people a profound appearance.

can stand behind Su Musha, and wear a purple official robe, no one nearby dares him to be side-by-side, so it seems that he is Xuanli's first minister "Ye Mengshan".

"The monarch has arrived, kneel!"

That sharp voice came into the Taiji Palace, and the ministers in the hall all bowed down, except for Prime Minister Su Musha and Taifu Yemeng, who did a good deed, and bowed their hands.

Luo Xuanyin was dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe, his long black hair was tied up, he was wearing a crown and a bright yellow crown rope, the middle end of the crown was inlaid with gems, and the thin bead chain tassels hung down on both sides.

This is the first court meeting since Luo Xuanyin succeeded to the throne, and he can't lose the prestige of the monarch.

Watching the worship of hundreds of officials, I couldn't help but feel a sense of pointing out the country and scolding Fang Xuan in my heart.

"Zhu Qing is flat, and now the state affairs are difficult, lonely and insignificant, the weight of the responsibility has not been a day without trembling, such as walking on thin ice, fortunately there are such virtuous and righteous people as Zhu Qing, assisted by major events, I hope that our monarchs and ministers will work together to create a prosperous era of Xuanli!"

Luo Xuanyin's heart was a little agitated, and he said loudly.

After saying this, Su Musha raised his head and looked at Luo Xuanyin with his eyes that looked at him.

"Ministers, respect the words of the monarch, and abide by the responsibilities of officials, and assist in major affairs!"

Everyone raised their heads, only to feel that the young man in front of them was as rich as jade, and his bearing was calm, but he had not yet hidden his emotions.

After all, he is a young man, and he is still a little immature, and often this kind of easy-to-see person is the easiest to overtake.

"Something to start, nothing to retreat."

The middle-aged eunuch beside Luo Xuanyin shouted in his sharp voice.

"Monarch, the minister has something important to report, this year's Anyang County has been in drought for many years, and it has been red for hundreds of miles, and the minister asks the monarch to allocate funds for disaster relief to save my Xuan Ion people."

In the civil official train, a middle-aged man wearing a dark green official robe walked to the royal road to report to him.

The Xuanli region is narrow, the land is thin, and the country is divided into three prefectures, each of which has five counties and more than 20 counties, with a total population of less than 200 million.

Its troops, in addition to the garrisons of the prefecture, county, and county, are truly the main force of the First World War, with a total of 200,000 people.

And through the martial arts academy established by Su Musha, the martial artists cultivated, in the 200,000 army, it is very good that there can be one-tenth of the martial artists, and most of them are ordinary people.

"Oh? There is such a thing! Hmmm......"

The people in the court also wanted to see how the new monarch would handle political affairs and prepare for the future.

"Order, the inner government allocated 100,000 silver, Anyang tax exemption for one year, in addition, the spring ploughing season is coming soon, I hope that all the government guards, the county guard can promote this year's spring ploughing, there must be no mistake!"

"Anything else?"

The middle-aged man in a dark green official robe retreated into the train, and a military attache in a dark scarlet robe with a tiger's back stood up in the military attache train.

"Qiyu Guojun, according to the Tianhe Mansion Shou, bandits are rampant in Tianhe Mansion, and they often ask for tolls from passing caravans, and even raid villages, burn, kill and loot!"

Luo Xuanyin sat on the dragon chair, his face began to ponder, and he looked at the people below.

"What do you think of this?"

Above the court, there was a sudden uproar, and a few put forward their own opinions.

"The monarch, the minister thinks that the gathering of government soldiers, county soldiers, and army sweeps can cut off the trouble of bandits!"

"That's not right! Not to mention the large number of bandits, most of its small groups of bandits live without a fixed place, and most of the people who live in a fixed place are steep mountains and complex terrain, Tianhe Mansion has encircled and suppressed several times, but unfortunately every time they return in vain, and every time they consume money and time! ”

The military attache in the deep scarlet robe who asked the question retorted.

"The monarch, the minister thinks that he will be recruited by the promise of official positions for his own use."

This is even more inappropriate! How can they be with us when they burn and slay and plunder? Aren't you afraid that bandits will spring up like mushrooms in the future? Do you want to recruit them too! ”

"Then use Zhao'an to lure it out, and then surround and kill it."

"Where is your majesty! This does not tarnish the credibility of Xuanli. ”

The military attachΓ©'s face turned red with anger, he never expected that there were so many wine bags and rice bags in this court!

"It's not that, it's not, so how are you going?"

The court hall was accompanied by the voices of two people arguing.

Luo Xuanyin held his forehead with his hand, his eyes were cold, exuding a faint murderous aura, which he forcibly suppressed.

Although Ye Mengshan was dormant for a while, Su Musha was able to open his hands and feet, and the imperial examination system was started at that time, but most of those who passed the imperial examination system were assigned below the sixth grade, and they had no chance to log in to this hall and debate the affairs of the court.

In this hall, the family gate valve still controls the majority of the head, and civilians can only improve through military exploits if they want to enter this hall.

Thinking back to the past, Taizu raised troops, and these family lords were all after the fathers, but now it seems that one generation is not as good as the generation after all!

Then Luo Xuanyin looked at Ye Mengshan who was standing behind Su Musha.

And Ye Mengshan was looking left and right at the moment, as if this matter had nothing to do with him.

"Mrs. Ye, what do you think of this?"

Ye Mengshan walked out of the train and casually arched his hands towards Luo Xuanyin.

"Since the monarch asked the old minister to speak, then the old minister will mention it, it is rumored that the Pingyuan Sect in Tianhe Mansion is all chivalrous and righteous, it is better to let it be the mainstay, and then supplemented by the three classes and six rooms of the Yamen, which can reduce the financial vacancy and also establish a good relationship with the Pingyuan Sect."

Luo Xuanyin raised his eyebrows lightly, pretending to be thoughtful, as if he was very optimistic about this method.

The sect and the family are the hills of the road, monopolizing the land in Xuanli, disobeying discipline, and being the black sheep of the people and the country!

In the territory of Xuanli, there are two pavilions and three top forces, and there are Golden Body Realm martial artists under the door, and there are only more than 20 Golden Body Realm martial artists in the Xuanli Dynasty.

"Su Xiang, what do you think about this?"

Ye Mengshan glanced at Su Musha, and then withdrew the original train, Su Musha walked to the royal road and arched his hand:

"According to Weichen's view, the monarch just said that the spring ploughing season should also be the time to sow seeds, but there are few people in Xuanli, and there are many fertile fields that are wasted.

"There are also various prefectures, the county martial arts institute has been established for a long time, and there is not much credit, every time the household pays such a financial is difficult to say, you might as well take this opportunity to form an assessment, the martial arts academy is the main, and the yamen three classes and six rooms and the city defense army are supplemented, and give the second union, after all, the warrior who has not seen blood is not a warrior."

Luo Xuanyin frowned, finally relaxed, looked at Su Musha, and finally understood why the previous monarch would make Su Musha Ye Mengshan's opponent.

The Martial Academy was promoted by him, and it can be said that he is the pioneer of the Upper Martial Academy, but the Martial Academy has always been in the hands of the court, and it can be regarded as cultivating talents for the court.

Now there is no war ahead, although many body forging realm martial artists have been cultivated, but they often have huge wealth, and it is a little difficult to say that they have not done anything.

"Then according to what Su Xiang said! Is there anything else to do? ”

Seeing that no one in the court had spoken, Luo Xuanyin gave the eunuch next to him a look.

"Retreat!"

The sharp voice sounded again, and Luo Xuanyin was suddenly relieved.
