Xia Jiuyuan asked Dian Guangming to tell the public that this was an assassination carried out by the twelve princes of the countries of the Western Regions. These generals under the Huo family did not doubt it!

After all, their Huo family army also killed people from the Western Regions.

Now, it is not impossible for the people of the Western Regions to send assassins to take revenge...

Therefore, the Huo family and all the important ministers of the court who were killed hated the people of the Western Regions.

All Xia Jiuyuan's proposal naturally won the hearts of the people.

As everyone knows, this is a door to hell that Xia Jiuyuan and Xia Yan opened for Huo Jiajun.

After retiring from the dynasty, Lu Qian wanted to find Chengde with a dark face.

Even if he can win chess.

But in the other two games, he also lost steadily.

Let's not mention the competition, and he is not Xia Yan's opponent if he adds another one.

That is more than eyesight, if it weren't for His Majesty's willingness to tell him.

However, it is obvious that although His Majesty is unwilling to give Xia Yan the position of the secretary of the military department, it seems that he is even more reluctant to give him ...

At this time, Chengde was surrounded by a group of ministers and asked him about playing chess.

Lu Qian saw that he couldn't see Chengde for a while, so he pondered and left first.

After going back, Chengde didn't fail to come to him.

However, the former concubine sent a palace maid to deliver the message, which roughly means.

During the competition, let Lu Qian take the gun and declare the winner!

Lu Qian suddenly realized that he had an artifact.

What a fan of the authorities!

...

Yingxiang Building, in the Moon Pavilion.

Xia Yan told Cheng De about the three competitions.

After Wan Qian listened to Xia Yan's words, he sneered and said, "My fool, you are a female trick who has fallen into Chengde..."

"Master, how can it be a woman's plan? These three, the last so-called chess, I am not very proficient. Whether it's a joust or eyesight... He will lose to me. And that chess, look at him won't be... I don't have to lose... In all three games, he was doomed!" Xia Yan said.

Wan Qian sneered, and then said, "I'm afraid you don't know... That Lu Qian has a close-fitting hidden weapon, and this hidden weapon is called Sui Musket... This musket is very powerful. You can kill people invisibly..."

Wan Qian's introduction is very detailed.

He had also heard Bai Zhi mention this weapon.

Xia Yan said in disbelief, "There is such a powerful secret weapon?"

"Chengde and Lu Qian have a very close relationship, so Chengde will definitely help him... How can it help you?" Wan Qian said.

"That's... What should I do? Directly forbid him to use weapons..."Xia Yan seemed to have thought of a solution.

Wan Qian shook his head, then leaned into Xia Yan's ear and said, "I have a way... You are like—"

Xia Yan listened to Wan Qian's expression, which became more and more exciting, and then said, "Master, you are still smart... Just as you say. Isn't he, then, dead?"

Wan Qian smiled slightly, and then said, "You can't take it lightly, and the rules of chess, you tell me... I'm going to fight you!"

Xia Yan nodded.

...

In the Taimiao, Lu Qian lay on a rocking chair, holding a book of "Secret Techniques in the Room, One Hundred and Two Moves!"

This book is a gem, illustrated and illustrated.

It was also discovered by Lu Qian by chance at a roadside stall in Kyoto.

There are two Japanese women waiting beside him.

He's not having a good time...

He had to enjoy the quiet moments now.

In the future, if I really become the secretary of the Ministry of War, I am afraid that I will not be so idle.

As he spoke, the door of his room was pushed open again.

It's Xia Nihuang.

Xiao Anzi said with a bitter face, "Mr. Lu... The eldest princess

He—"

Xia Nihuang saw that Lu Qian was still so leisurely at this time, and seemed to hate iron, and said to Lu Qian, "Lu Qian, when is it? You've got time to read a book here!"

Seeing Xia Nihuang coming up, Lu Qian subconsciously put together the one hundred and two secret techniques in the room and said, "Isn't this relaxing..."

"There's seven days left before the competition... I'll ask Hidden Moon to come over and train you and teach you some powerful moves..."

"Eldest princess, you should know better than me what Xia Yan is capable of. He has been trained as a martial arts master since he was a child, and in just seven days, no matter how you ask me to practice, he is not his opponent..."

"Then you're giving up?" Xia Nihuang instantly darkened.

Seeing that Xia Nihuang was about to reprimand her, Lu Qian took out his precious revolver and said, "No matter how high his kung fu is, can he still dodge my bullets?"

Seeing this, Xia Nihuang seemed to remember that her dark face had finally eased up a lot...

"And your chess, are you sure? You practice so well... You are being underestimated Xia Yan. His brain—"

"I taught Cheng Guogong this chess!" Lu Qian didn't wait for Xia Nihuang to finish speaking, then interrupted.

Xia Nihuang was obviously stunned, and looked at Lu Qian with wide eyes...

Lu Qian smiled evilly and said, "Do you want to, let's try?" Take off a piece of clothing when you lose a game!"

Xia Nihuang saw that Lu Qian was not serious again, and said to him, "Then according to what you said, you are bound to win the position of this Shangshu?"

Lu Qian smiled slightly, and then said, "This is natural... Of course, unless Your Majesty is cheating, you should know that our Majesty likes to cheat!"

Xia Nihuang said with a firm face, "If you can win the game, Shangshu's position must be yours!"

Lu Qian smiled slightly and said, "Then you can rest assured, the position of this Shangshu must be mine..."

Seeing Lu Qian say so confidently, Xia Nihuang couldn't help but show a hint of appreciation in her eyes.

"Don't worry, you help me do things. I will definitely protect the safety of Concubine Li's mother and son!"

Lu Qian nodded...

For the next few days, everything was very peaceful.

The situation in the imperial court has been completely reshuffled, and Guo Sixin has also been promoted to the first assistant of the cabinet.

Guo Sixin was reluctant at first, but Xia Jiuyuan was invited several times before agreeing.

He and Xia Jiuyuan also agreed on the three chapters of the law, which changed the role of the cabinet.

If the cabinet members are unanimously opposed, they can even change the emperor's proposal.

Guo Sixin originally wanted to let Xia Jiuyuan retreat, after all, Guo Sixin knew that the cabinet in Li Xiaozheng's hands was completely useless.

The emperor did not listen to them at all.

To Guo Sixin's surprise, Xia Jiuyuan agreed without even thinking about it!

After Guo Sixin became the first assistant, he reorganized the cabinet.

Let the cabinet members completely become some people who dare to speak, have ideas, and are upright.

The six Shangshu, except for the Dian Guangming, the rest have all been replaced.

Only one position in the military department is vacant.

It wasn't until seven days later that everyone arrived at the Jinluan Hall early.

Today, we will decide the military department!

Xia Yan saw Lu Qian waiting in the hall early, so he stepped forward and said provocatively, "You eunuch, today Your Highness will let you see how powerful Your Highness is powerful!"

The best emperor
