After Lu Chen cleaned up Wang Qianci, he threw her in another chair and continued to write the reform plan of Beijun himself.

At this time, Wang Tianci collapsed in his chair, his eyes were fixed on Lu Chen, who was working hard, and he couldn't help but admire him a little in his heart.

The king said faintly: "Lord Wang, why is your energy so vigorous, so that after doing bad things to the slave family, you can immediately calm down and do other things." ”

Hearing Wang's words, Lu Chen laughed while writing, and then said: "Just cleaning up a female slave, how much energy can this king consume." ”

If it were an ordinary person, they might be sad when they heard Lu Chen's words, but Wang Tianci didn't feel it at all, after all, her identity was Lu Chen's slave girl.

However, Wang Tianci said a little unconvinced: "The prince is a grandmaster, and his words are hard, when will the slave family break through to the grandmaster realm......

Hearing this, Lu Chen stopped the pen in his hand, looked up at Wang Tianci on the chair and asked, "When you break through to the Grandmaster realm, what are you going to do?" ”

"Do you still want to rebel?"

Speaking of this, Lu Chen showed a kind smile.

Wang Tianci pursed his lips, and then said: "When the slave family breaks through to the realm of the grandmaster, the slave family will definitely serve the prince better." ”

Wang Tianci is also a little bottomless in her heart, although she has broken through to the realm of grandmasters, her strength will be greatly improved, and her physical fitness will also be greatly improved, and it is not impossible for her to want to make a few moves with Lu Chen at that time.

But Lu Chen can't judge this guy with common sense, maybe he has more powerful moves that he hasn't used, and maybe he will be suppressed again soon.

It's hard to wait for him to break through to the realm of the grandmaster, Lu Chen will already be a great grandmaster.

The strength of the Great Grandmaster and the Grandmaster is very different.

Lu Chen is already so fierce and powerful now, and when Lu Chen breaks through to the realm of the Great Grandmaster, he doesn't know how powerful it will be.

As soon as he thought that Lu Chen had broken through to the realm of the Great Grandmaster, his physical fitness would be greatly improved, and Wang Qianci's delicate body couldn't help but tremble.

But fortunately, there are so many women in Lu Chen, although she is Lu Chen's slave girl, she has her own affairs, and she doesn't have to stay in the palace to serve Lu Chen every day.

It seems that we will not be able to provoke Lu Chen in the future.

At this moment, the voice of a brocade-clothed guard came from outside the study, "Lord Wang, a letter from Tianguang City." ”

After hearing this, Lu Chen said lightly: "Xiaohuan, bring it in." ”

There was a big battle in this study, and the soldiers of the Jinyi Guard were not allowed to enter.

The maid at the door of the study immediately came to Jinyiwei, took the information in Jinyiwei's hand, and then took it into the study.

Lu Chen took the bamboo tube from the maid's hand, took out the information from it, and looked at it seriously.

Seeing what was written on the intelligence, Lu Chen's face showed a smile again.

He had asked the soldiers of Tianguang City to dress those barbarian captives who had died in battle in the clothes of the Great Xia people, mainly just in case, he didn't think that Lin Xiuming would run to dig a grave or something if he had nothing to do.

As a result, I didn't expect that there were really spies in the imperial army who went to dig graves to confirm whether there were corpses of Beijun soldiers buried in those graves.

It seems that the Black Cavalry will not be able to show up in Beijun for a period of time in the future, and the corpse can only be concealed for a while, and there will inevitably be other people who will come to Yancheng to inquire about the situation of the Black Cavalry.

If the black cavalry was still running around at this time, others would notice that the heavy cavalry in the northern county had not been destroyed.

Soon Beijun will be reformed, and it must be low-key and low-key for the next period of time, so as not to attract the attention of the imperial court.

As for whether the reform of Beijun will attract the attention of the imperial court, Lu Chen believes that those people in the imperial court should not have the leisure to pay attention to a vassal king tossing around in his fiefdom.

Then Lu Chen put down the information in his hand and continued to write about the reform policy of Beijun.

In the next few days, Lu Chen basically spent time in the study, he didn't practice on horseback for a few days, and the women in the inner courtyard of the palace noticed Lu Chen's abnormality.

They also felt that something big was going to happen in Beijun next, otherwise Lu Chen would not be able to stay in the study for several days in a row.

After about seven days, the North Prince's Mansion directly issued a royal decree to let the officials of the North County come to the palace to discuss politics.

After receiving the royal order of the North Prince's Mansion, the officials of the North County were a little confused, usually speaking, some small-grade officials were not qualified to participate in the discussion, and the North King actually asked all the officials to go to the North Prince's Mansion to discuss politics.

What's to be done?

The king of the North is not going to purge the officials of the North County, is he?

As soon as the king's order came out, some corrupt officials suddenly became extremely weak and panicked.

Some officials were even so frightened that they fled directly from Beijun, but those who escaped were soon caught by Lu Chen's brocade guards.

Lu Chen actually didn't plan to do anything to corrupt officials, now there is a lack of civil officials and management talents in Beijun, if he does it to corrupt officials at this time, he won't have many people to work on.

But for some of the more greedy, he still plans to find a few to kill the chickens and set an example, and those who are scared to run away are basically more seriously corrupt.

Early morning.

As soon as Lu Chen got up and finished washing, he finished drinking the porridge, and the maid came to tell him that Li Rui and some other officials from Yancheng had come to the door of the study to wait for him.

After hearing the maid's words, Lu Chen immediately went to the study.

Seeing a bunch of people standing at the door of the study, Lu Chen said with a smile: "Lord Li, isn't there still a few days before the time for this king to discuss politics, why are you here today?" ”

Seeing that Lu Chen was coming, Li Rui and a group of officials from Yancheng immediately saluted, "See the prince, the prince is a thousand years old and a thousand years old!" ”

After Li Rui finished saluting, he said: "Lord Wang, the minister heard that your Jinyi guard is wantonly arresting the officials of the Northern County, and now the people of the Northern County are panicking, and many officials have submitted their resignations to the ministers and plan to return to their hometowns. ”

The officials of Beijun are basically not from Beijun, and before Emperor Xia did not give Beijun to Lu Chen, the officials of Beijun were all transferred from other places by the imperial court.

Now that they heard that Lu Chen was going to clean up the officialdom, some officials were so frightened that they hurriedly ran away.

According to the rules, after the feudal king arrived in the fiefdom, the officials previously arranged by the imperial court were eligible to submit their resignations, and those officials could leave the feudal king's fiefdom directly without the consent of the feudal king.

This is the pit dug by the previous Xia Emperor for those vassal kings, if a vassal king arrives in his own territory and does not arrange his own people, the officials arranged by the imperial court can not only monitor this vassal king, but also be able to elevate this vassal king.

Moreover, the imperial court was able to use these officials to beat some disobedient vassal kings.

Normally, if the officials of a fief run away, the fief will soon fall into chaos, and there will be a vassal king who is disobedient, and then the court will directly transfer all the officials away, and suddenly there will be no one available in the fief of the vassal king.

Although the officials of the imperial court were transferred, it seems that the vassal king had gained power and the power of the fief had been transferred to the vassal king, but most of the feudal kings did not have their own team at first.

For example, a prince like Lu Chen, who only knew how to eat, drink and have fun at the beginning, when Lu Chen came to Beijun, he didn't have his own administrative team, at this time, if the imperial court transferred all the officials of Beijun, Lu Chen could only stare dryly, and the Beijun he took over was a complete mess, and with the little people in his hands at the beginning, there was no way to make the entire Beijun run.

After hearing Li Rui's words, Lu Chen said with a smile: "No wonder you came to the palace early in the morning, it turned out to be for this." ”

"You don't have to worry about this, the people who this king asked Jinyiwei to arrest are corrupt officials and corrupt officials."

Hearing Lu Chen say this, Li Rui and the other officials panicked even more.

Corrupt officials?

In the officialdom, several of the officials present were clean, even Li Rui himself had received money from others.

If Lu Chen really cleaned up all the corrupt officials and corrupt officials, I am afraid that there will be few officials in the entire North County who will be spared.

According to the rules of the Great Xia court, the poorer the place and the less populous the place, the less money the officials have.

Beijun is a poor place, and after the imperial court sent these officials to this place, they gave the least amount of money every year.

Therefore, the first thing most officials have to do when they come to Beijun is to find a way to make money, and they give so little money, if they are not corrupt and take bribes, how can their lives be better.

Aren't these people officials just for status and money, and now Lu Chen actually wants to crack down on corrupt officials and corrupt officials, this is to serve them in a pot.

When Lu Chen came to Beijun, they were worried, but when they saw Lu Chen eating, drinking and having fun in the palace every day, they thought that Lu Chen was easy to deal with.

As a result, I didn't expect Lu Chen's knife to be hidden all along, and now it has been revealed.

Li Rui hurriedly said: "Lord Wang, Beijun is poor, according to the regulations of the imperial court, the officials of Beijun are more than half less than those of officials in Jiangnan and other places, and it is difficult for the imperial court to support the official's family, so the officials of Beijun have more or less received some things." ”

"If the prince wants to arrest all the corrupt officials and corrupt officials, then I am afraid that no one in the northern county will be spared, please think twice!"

As soon as Li Rui's words fell, the group of officials behind Li Rui immediately bent down and said, "Please think twice." ”

Although many officials thought that the black cavalry had really been destroyed, Lu Chen still had a brocade guard in his hand.

If you want to arrest all the officials in the northern county, you don't need Lu Chen's black cavalry at all, and those brocade guards can arrest them all.

Now there is no official in Beijun who is not afraid of Lu Chen.

Li Rui continued: "Lord Wang, the officials of Beijun are all officials assigned by the imperial court, if you crack down on corrupt officials, some officials will be frightened, and it is likely that they will flee Beijun directly without even resigning, and it is very likely that some decrees in Beijun will not be issued to the people at the bottom." ”

"Please also ask the prince to give those officials a chance to give them time to mend their ways."

Hearing Li Rui's words, Lu Chen said expressionlessly: "Lord Li, you won't be threatening this king, right?" ”

Hearing that the tone was wrong, Li Rui suddenly sweated, and he hurriedly said: "The minister doesn't dare, the minister just talks about things." ”

"Beijun is poor, talented people are unwilling to come to Beijun, if even the officials sent by the imperial court run away, this is likely to affect the prince's great cause."

Li Rui's words were not only in Baobei County's other officials, but also in protecting himself, and no one could say whether Lu Chen's knife would fall on him.

At this time, the atmosphere in the courtyard was extremely dull, there was still light snow in the sky, and Li Rui and other officials stood motionless in the courtyard.

The officials didn't dare to gasp, they only felt that their backs were cold, and cold sweat was breaking out on their bodies.

Now it's up to the North King to do it.

If the king of the north is determined to crack down on corrupt officials and corrupt officials, I am afraid that none of them will be able to escape.

Lu Chen glanced at the loyalty of Li Rui and these officials, Li Rui's loyalty as the county guard was the highest, and now it had reached ninety-five, and the loyalty of other officials was basically around seventy or eighty.

Loyalty is still loyal, but everyone has their own thoughts.

After pondering for a moment, Lu Chen said lightly: "This king doesn't plan to carry out any big purge, let you come to the palace to discuss politics in a few days, just because this king is going to announce the reform plan, as soon as some officials in Beijun heard that they were going to convene them to discuss politics, they were so frightened that they ran away directly with their embezzled money overnight." ”

"Now is the time to employ people in Beijun, those officials embezzled so much silver in Beijun, and as a result, they ran away with the money as soon as something happened, if this kind of person is not arrested, then the king is too merciful."

Hearing Lu Chen's side, the officials were stunned.

The king of the north means......

They embezzled so much money, not only did they not honor him, but they ran away with the money and left him nothing, so he asked Jinyiwei to arrest those officials who escaped?

In this way, it seems that they are not without a way out.

When they go back, they will hand over the embezzled silver, so that the king of the north should not trouble them, right?

At this time, Lu Chen continued: "Go back, if this king wants to arrest you, you will already be in the prison of Yancheng." ”

After hearing Lu Chen's words, Li Rui seemed to understand what Lu Chen meant, Lu Chen was planning to kill chickens and make an example of monkeys.

Grab a few, and then deter the other officials in North County.

Then he estimated that it would be fine, when the North King first came to the North County, he immediately handed over all the power in his hands, although the North King only took over the military power at that time, but his attitude at the beginning must have satisfied the North King.

The power in his hands now is also given to him by the North King, if the North King wants to do something to him, he can easily pinch him to death, he has no threat to the North King, and the North King will most likely not deal with him.

Thinking of this, Li Rui finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

Immediately, Li Rui saluted and said, "The ministers are leaving." ”

After Li Rui and the other officials left the palace, one of the officials immediately asked, "Lord Li, is it true that the prince will not liquidate the officials of Beijun?" ”

Li Rui replied: "Didn't the prince already say just now, the reason why he asked Jinyiwei to arrest those people was because they wanted to escape from Beijun with the embezzled silver, so the prince arrested them." ”

"If you don't have this kind of thought, there is a high probability that the prince will not care about you, if the prince wants to liquidate the officials of Beijun, I am afraid that everyone present, including this official, will have been arrested a long time ago."

Speaking of this, Li Rui glanced at the officials, and then said: "The prince is going to reform Beijun next, you will be a little sharper in your hands and feet in the future, don't mix it up like in the past." ”

"The prince has great ambitions, if you are still dragging the prince behind, even if the prince does not liquidate you now, sooner or later you will go in."

At this time, an official asked in a low voice, "My lord, what should we do with the silver we collected before?" ”

Since the king of the north has already said that he will definitely be arrested if he runs away with the silver, then there is a high probability that these officials in Yancheng will not be able to escape.

The county officials in those small places were all arrested by the Beiwang Jinyiwei, how could they, the officials under the nose of the Jinyiwei, escape.

Since they can't escape, the silver they embezzled in the past may be a little hot, and no one knows if this embezzled silver will become evidence of their imprisonment one day.

Li Rui said: "This is simple, after you go back, all the gifts and silver you have received over the years will be sent to the official's mansion, and the official will be sent to the Beiwang Mansion." ”

"By the way, the official wants to remind you that the prince's brocade guard is very powerful, how much money you have collected in the past, if the prince wants to check, it is easy to find out, and the official still advises you not to take chances."

Hearing Li Rui say this, some officials who wanted to secretly hide money instantly dispelled this idea.

They have also dealt with Jinyiwei a lot, knowing the horror of Jinyiwei, Li Rui is right, if Jinyiwei really wants to check them, they may really be picked up.

In the dead of night.

Lu Chen was still busy in the study.

The study was brightly lit, and after Chu Qingli patrolled to the door of the study, she found that the study was still on, and she suddenly felt incredible.

Some time ago, Lu Chen did bad things with the women of the palace every day, why did she become so honest all of a sudden these days, she seemed to have not seen Lu Chen and that woman do bad things for several days.

Is this guy having a physical problem, no?

Unexpectedly, with his character, if he doesn't do bad things with women one day, he will definitely feel bad.

Well! It must be that the body is not good!

Even if he has a fairy fate, he is still a mortal after all, and he is obsessed with beauty every day, and he can't stand it.

This guy came to the study every day, most likely to prevent his women from seeing that he was no longer good, for the sake of his self-esteem, so he hid in the study every day for the past few days, and he didn't go back at night.

Just as Chu Qingli was looking at the bright light in the study and thinking wildly, a gentle voice appeared behind Chu Qingli, "Qingli, what are you looking at?" ”

Chu Qingli came back to her senses in an instant, she turned her head and saw that it was Chu Yuqin, so she immediately said, "I didn't see anything, I was thinking about things just now." ”

At this time, Chu Yuqin's eyes also looked at the study where Lu Chen was, and seeing that Lu Chen's study was still bright, Chu Yuqin said to herself: "Chen'er has really grown up." ”

When the words fell, Chu Yuqin's face couldn't help but show a flush, and she suddenly remembered what happened in the study not long ago in her mind.
