Chapter 243: Engagement

"Your Majesty, the top priority at the moment should be to adjust the border defense system in various localities in a timely manner to avoid being invaded by foreign invaders."

He Hong thought for a moment and quickly stood up.

He knew that this map was meaningless now, and the plan for the present was to preserve his position in the capital.

The plan must not let Xu Jing doubt himself.

As for the new customs map, as long as he still retains his current status in the capital, it will be passed out sooner or later.

"This palace has its own decision on this matter, so you don't have to worry."

Xu Jing did not intend to take this matter into anyone's hands, and calmly ignored He Hong's words.

He Hong nodded slightly at the corner of his mouth and replied, "No." ”

In fact, he was also nervous in his heart, and he couldn't help but wonder how much trust he still had in Xu Jing's heart.

"Do you have any other matters?"

Xu Jing looked at the hundred officials who were making a pot of porridge and asked.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the top priority at the moment is not to close the defense map, but to find out the foreign colt hidden above the court!"

"If this person continues to hide in the capital, no matter how His Majesty adjusts the customs defense, he will still be taken advantage of."

"Only by solving the matter of foreign criminals can everything be fine!"

The official of the Ministry who was originally among the objects of Xu Jing's suspicion walked out and replied.

"What's your name and what is your position?"

Xu Jing looked at the young man sideways.

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister is a high life, and he is the right servant of the ministry."

Gao Shou replied worriedly.

"Do you have the confidence to do this?"

Xu Jing nodded slightly, the name Gao Shou was pleasing Xu Jing was still suspicious of this person, but he didn't mind using this person.

"Back to Your Majesty! Confidence in the minister! ”

Gao Shou trembled, slowly knelt on the ground and shouted.

In fact, his heart was extremely excited.

He was the eye of the last list, and it was only through Xu Jing's cleaning of the court that he had the opportunity to reach this high position.

But in this court full of parties, he has never benefited at all.

For the hundred officials, he is a person who was personally promoted by the emperor, and he can be regarded as a person in the emperor's lineage.

But for Xu Jing, none of the officials can be trusted, and for such a person who has never met and does not know the foundation, Xu Jing will naturally not be reused.

Now, he finally seized an opportunity, and naturally he will not let it go easily.

"In that case, the matter is left to you. From tomorrow, you don't have to stay in the Ministry of Justice, and go to the Ministry of Punishment to be a right attendant. ”

Xu Jing nodded slightly and said casually.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

This seems to be a flat tone, but it is extremely good news for Gao Shou.

The criminal department is different from the ministry of officials, and the power in it is far higher than that of the ministry of officials!

The officials seem to have mastered the matter of appointing officials in the court, and the relationship with hundreds of officials is not bad.

But in fact, the appointment is a thing, and the first, second and third grades need to be allowed to attract the head.

Under the three products, although Xu Jing may not be able to look at it, Lin Hai, who is the prime minister, will definitely hold it in his hands.

So much so that this official department, which is one of the six ministries, has almost been reduced to an empty shell, and has no rights at all.

But the Criminal Department is completely different, not only are the arrests all caused by Xu Jing, but even the prime minister does not dare to obstruct them, and his power is only inferior to Jinyiwei, who also has the duty of arresting and supervising!

What's more important is that Gao Shou is so loyal, which can be regarded as entering Xu Jing's eyes.

Second, he is also sitting on top of the court and watching himself as the identity of the prince.

In the future, Prime Minister Lin Hai will inevitably look up to himself and slowly integrate into the former princelings.

It can be said that the achievements in the future are limitless!

Xu Jing naturally didn't know this, just stared at the hundred officials present and slowly spoke: "But is there anything else?" If nothing happens, retire. ”

"Back to Your Majesty, the matter of choosing a concubine has been decided. I wonder when His Majesty will pass by? ”

Lin Hai walked out at this time and asked cautiously.

"I'll put this on hold for a while."

Xu Jing frowned slightly, waved his hand, and said expressionlessly.

For these concubines who are shoehorned into the harem by various families, Xu Jing may not have much interest.

"That's right, there are a lot of things in this country now, and Your Majesty may not have the leisure to pay attention to them."

"It's just that Your Majesty can't do without a queen for a day. I also ask Your Majesty to set a wedding date as soon as possible. ”

Lin Hai turned to the matter of establishing Jiang Ni as the queen.

Jiang Wuji also smiled slightly, looked at Lin Hai sideways and nodded slightly.

As the head coach of Daqian, Jiang Wujian also hopes to be able to watch Xu Jingneng and Jiang Ni achieve positive results as soon as possible.

"This ...... Pick a good day and get engaged for the time being. ”

Xu Jing thought slightly and nodded and replied.

"Your Majesty, the minister has already gone to inquire, and eleven days later, it is the most suitable day for a good day and an auspicious day."

Lin Hai continued, as if he had already prepared everything.

"Very well, in that case, it will be on that day."

Xu Jing was expressionless and got up to leave.

The eunuch on one side immediately shouted: "Retreat!" ”

After a while, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military prostrated and shouted: "Congratulations to Your Majesty!" ”

Jiang Wujian was ordered by Xu Jing, and he also followed Xu Jing into the Jinluan Palace.

"Your Majesty, do you need to detain these three people?"

"Now that the Great Snow Dragon Rider is on the outskirts of Beijing, it is not difficult to win the three of them."

Jiang Wujian walked beside Xu Jing and asked.

"No, these three people will stay for now."

Xu Jing shook his head and said lightly.

"Why? One of these three people should have revealed the defense map of the Great Cadre Pass. How could such a traitor remain in the capital? ”

Jiang Wujian frowned slightly, and asked with some doubts.

"Uncle Jiang, I don't know if there is only one such traitor."

"If you startle the snake, I'm afraid it will cause unnecessary trouble."

"Since you have guessed that one of these three people must be a traitor, just arrange for the brocade guards to keep an eye on it."

Xu Jing chuckled, and slowly explained that Jiang Wujian was worried.

Jiang Wujian nodded slightly and didn't say anything.

Xu Jing's answer was enough to convince him.

"I don't know what Your Majesty did to let the big snow dragon ride off?"

Then Jiang Wujian asked about the most critical matter.

Now, the situation in the Anxi area is in crisis, and a delay of one day may have a great impact on the war situation.

"Don't worry, just wait."

"The palace also wants you to bring some things and set off together."

Xu Jing smiled slightly and said slowly.

"What Your Majesty said must be the rumored artillery, right? This thing is said to be powerful, is it true? ”

Jiang Wujian listened to what Xu Jing said, and for a while he remembered the artillery.

He was in high spirits and asked excitedly.

"Three hundred zhang away, you can kill a hundred people."

Xu Jing said casually.

Jiang Wuji's mouth was slightly open, and his eyes were full of excitement.

Killing three hundred zhang away, if such an artifact as a hundred people can really be used on the battlefield, the deterrence it can bring will be far beyond imagination!

"It's a pity that although this thing is good, it is not easy to match enough artillery as soon as possible."

Xu Jing then sighed helplessly.
