After the news of Beijun's return of land ownership to Beiwangfu spread throughout Great Xia, Lu Chen suddenly had countless enemies, and there were already many forces and organizations ready to move, and there were even forces that offered a reward for Lu Chen's head.

Lu Chen is also the king of the north, the son of Emperor Xia, and someone dares to reward his head, which is enough to see how much Lu Chen is hated for what he did this time, and it also proves from the side that the current Emperor Xia has no deterrent power.

The most important thing is that the imperial court did not react to this at all, and Emperor Xia did not have any intention of protecting Lu Chen.

The matter was caused by Lu Chen himself, and it should be solved by him, as for what royal dignity, what royal dignity can they have, he, the emperor, has been forced to compromise by the family, what dignity can be talked about.

Only when the family is wiped out will the forces supported by those families not be so arrogant.

A month later.

North County.

Lu Chen was dealing with government affairs in the study, and at this time, Li Rui and Mu Changtian came to the study to report to Lu Chen on the recent reform of Beijun.

The population of Beijun is relatively small, and after the propaganda of Jinyiwei and the soldiers of Beijun, the common people have basically been relieved about the land issue.

There were even quite a few common people who had been given more land to cultivate, which made the common people believe that the Northern King did not trap them.

The reform can be regarded as smoothly implemented.

The military reform was not too problematic either, and the Northland Decree made every adult obliged to serve in the military, albeit as a compulsory soldier, which was different from the professional soldier recruited.

After a few years of conscription, soldiers have the opportunity to become professional soldiers, and the treatment of professional soldiers is very good, and now many former soldiers in North County have become professional soldiers.

The current professional soldiers will not only distribute the fields, but the Beiwang Mansion will also give them a large allowance at the moment when they become professional soldiers, and even Lu Chen stipulates that the descendants of professional soldiers can study for free, which immediately elevates the status of soldiers.

At this time, Mu Changtian said to Lu Chen: "Lord Wang, the minister feels that the promotion channels between conscripts and professional soldiers are still a little too few, according to the current reform plan, conscripts must be a few years before they can be promoted to professional soldiers, so I am afraid that the incentive effect is limited for ordinary conscripts, and some conscripts will definitely think that as long as they mix up time, they will do it in the future." ”

"Therefore, the minister suggested adding more promotion channels, such as improving their treatment according to military merits."

Lu Chen said: "This king also has such an idea, but there have been too many things recently, and this king has not written detailed promotion rules, since you have thought of it, after you go back, write your thoughts into an excerpt and hand it over, and this king will refer to it." ”

"Yes, Lord Wang!"

Lu Chen did not think about the treatment of conscripts, he deliberately let there be a treatment gap between conscripts and professional soldiers, mainly to encourage conscripts to work hard to become professional soldiers.

If there is only one promotion channel, it is obvious that there is no way to fierce ordinary compulsory soldiers, and Lu Chen is also considering improving the military merit system.

After talking about the promotion of soldiers, Mu Changtian and Li Rui continued to report on some of the problems they had encountered in the reform recently.

About half an hour later, the maid's voice sounded at the door of the study, interrupting the two of them's report.

"Lord Wang, Commander Qin is here."

Qin Yushan was arranged to make weapons, and he rarely came to transmit information to Lu Chen in person recently, basically it was the thousands of households of Jinyi Wei who came to report to Lu Chen what had happened in Great Xia recently.

But since he's here, it means that there must be something important.

Li Rui and Mu Changtian immediately stood aside and stopped talking.

Lu Chen said to the maid at the door at this time, "Let him come in." ”

Qin Yushan immediately pushed the door and entered the study, "Meet the prince!" ”

Lu Chen let out an "um", and his gaze fell on the bamboo tube in Qin Yushan's hand.

"Commander Qin, has something big happened in the capital again?"

Qin Yushan walked up to Lu Chen, handed the bamboo tube containing the letter to Lu Chen, and then said, "Lord Wang, now the major families in Great Xia have secretly sent many assassins to Beijun, with the intention of being unfavorable to you. ”

"According to the intelligence of Commander Liang's envoys, what they know alone, there are three waves of assassins coming to Beijun, and the strength of these assassins is very strong, each wave of assassins has a grandmaster-level martial artist, and even a martial artist from the grandmaster extreme realm."

Hearing Qin Yushan's words, Lu Chen just smiled, and then he took out the bamboo tube, took out the information inside, and then glanced at it seriously.

For what will happen later, Lu Chen has basically predicted it, he touched the nerves of the family, those families definitely don't want him to live, although he is far away in Beijun, but he started this head, which is enough to make the family kill him.

After hearing Qin Yushan's report, Mu Changtian immediately stood up and said, "Lord Wang, after the ministers go back later, they will strengthen the vigilance of Yancheng, and try not to let those strangers with relatively strong strength enter Yancheng." ”

Lu Chen said, "No need. ”

"There are countless ways for them to enter Yancheng, and the city wall can't stop them."

"Let them all come, this king just needs to find some more powerful martial artists to practice."

Lu Chen's Dafa of Gong Absorption has already begun to cultivate, and since he obtained the Dafa of Gong Absorption, he has been running to the Chunsheng Courtyard every day, and the Dafa of Gong Absorption has now reached the first level.

It's just that he hasn't used this exercise, he stays in the Beiwang Mansion, and he can't touch the enemy, and now those assassins have sent him to the door, just so that he can test his Dafa of absorbing Gong and see how powerful this exercise is.

Hearing Lu Chen's words, Mu Changtian thought about it, it seems that Lu Chen really doesn't have to be afraid of those assassins, Lu Chen himself is the grandmaster, and Lu Chen still has a lot of mysterious weapons on his body, those assassins came to assassinate Lu Chen to find death.

However, although Lu Chen is not afraid, the others are different.

Thinking of this, Mu Changtian said: "Lord Wang, you are now a grandmaster, and ordinary martial artists will naturally not be able to hurt you, but your wives and concubines and children in the Northern Prince's Mansion are different. ”

"If those Assassins find it difficult to assassinate you, they may turn to the people close to you."

Hearing Mu Changtian's words, Lu Chen fell into deep thought.

That's a problem.

Mu Zixuan and Da Zhou Xiao Zhou are just ordinary people, and his children are also ordinary people, and they have no combat power when they encounter martial artists.

Lu Chen said: "After that, I will let General Xuanyuan stay in the palace to prevent any assassins from sneaking into the palace." ”

Seeing that Lu Chen already had a candidate in his heart to protect the Northern Palace, Mu Changtian didn't say anything more.

Xuanyuan Chen and Wen Renlie's strength is very strong, the two of them already have the strength of the Grandmaster Extreme Realm, but they are not ordinary grandmasters, with them guarding the Beiwang Mansion, plus those mysterious weapons in the Beiwang Mansion, there is no problem if they want to resist the attacks of the assassins.

Of course, open guns are easy to dodge and dark arrows are difficult to defend against, if the people of the Beiwang Mansion leave the Beiwang Mansion, it will be different, but Mu Changtian believes that in the next period of time, Lu Chen should let the women of the Beiwang Mansion try not to leave the Beiwang Mansion.

Mu Zixuan is Mu Changtian's daughter, and Mu Zixuan is now the princess of the North King, so compared to Lu Chen, Mu Changtian is more concerned about the safety of the North Palace.

If something happened to his daughter, the relationship between their Mu family and the king of the north would not be so close.

At this time, Qin Yushan continued: "Lord Wang, there is another news. ”

Hearing Qin Yushan's words, Lu Chen reacted at this time, the information in his hand was double, and there was another one below.

Lu Chen then flipped through the first piece of information and checked the contents of the second message.

Qin Yushan continued: "Dawu gathered a million-strong army to attack Xiwu County in an all-out way, and the Eighth Prince was sent by His Majesty to the front line to fight against the Dawu army. ”

Lu Chen laughed, and then said: "It seems that the war should be over, my starling brother has gone to the front line to mix military merits, is this planning to let my father make him the crown prince?" ”

Mu Changtian said: "Lord Wang, I heard that the head of the Chu family has come to Beijun, if you are willing, you may try to win over the Chu family and prevent the Jiangnan family from uniting, which may be more beneficial to you." ”

Lu Chen put down the information in his hand and said lightly: "It's useless, this king's grandfather is no longer the head of the Chu family, and now there are only a few people left in the Chu family to support him, and the Chu family has basically fallen to my Eighth Emperor brother." ”

At this moment, the voice of the maid came from the door again, "Lord Wang, Wu Qianhu is here." ”

Lu Chen said, "Come in." ”

Wu Yuan immediately entered the study, "Meet the prince!" ”

Lu Chen asked directly, "What's the matter?" ”

Wu Yuan replied, "Lord Wang, General Lin has already led the 20,000 troops of the imperial court to withdraw to Yancheng, and they should be leaving Yancheng at sunset. ”

The imperial court's punishment for Lu Chen came to Beijun half a month ago, that is, to withdraw the 20,000 soldiers of the imperial court, and let the northern country deal with the barbarians on the grassland by itself.

The punishment of the imperial court was not painful for Lu Chen, and he didn't take it seriously at all. evil

Lu Chen said: "Let them leave, don't pay attention to them." ”

Wu Yuan said: "Lord Wang, General Lin said that he wanted to meet you in private, but I don't know that it is inconvenient for you. ”

Hearing this, Lu Chen suddenly became interested, "Oh, meet with this king in private?" That's kind of interesting. ”

"Then you can arrange for the king to meet him in the evening."

Wu Yuan immediately said, "Yes, Lord Wang." ”

"The subordinates retired."

Lin Xiuming's father is Prime Minister Zuo, if Lin Xiuming wants to meet with him in private, it means that Zuo Prime Minister Lin Gaoyuan has the intention of standing on his side, otherwise Lin Xiuming will not meet with him privately when he is about to leave Beijun.

As a general of the imperial court, it is taboo to meet a vassal king in private, if this is known by the imperial court, Lin Xiuming and Lin Gaoyuan will be in trouble.

After Wu Yuan left, Qin Yushan also quickly left the study, while Mu Changtian and Li Rui continued to report on the reform of Beijun.

In the evening.

Under the arrangement of Jin Yiwei, Lu Chen came to a restaurant, Lin Xiuming wanted to see him, and he definitely couldn't let Lin Xiuming come to the Beiwang Mansion, so they specially arranged a private room for Tingyulou to open a restaurant.

When he saw Lu Chen, Lin Xiuming felt a huge coercion, Lin Xiuming was stunned, and sure enough, it was almost the same as what he perceived last time, the North King was a martial artist, and his strength was not low, even above himself.
