After Li Yan retired, Huang Tian's mood relaxed a little, because now that the military power had been withdrawn into his hands, it was smoother than expected. Now Wukong has temporarily taken over the military power as a lieutenant.

Although Huang Tian helped heal his wounds overnight, he did not feel tired, which was not a problem for Monk Jiedan at all.

Huang Tian put on a dragon robe under the service of the mandarin ducks and the palace maids, put on a crown, had breakfast, and prepared to go to court.

The breakfast of the Emperor of the Han Dragon Empire was not a food in the traditional sense, because the monks could make a valley, but a food made from herbs and beasts that helped to improve their cultivation. Eating this kind of food can not only satisfy the appetite, but also improve the cultivation.

After breakfast, Huang Tian went to the Jinluan Hall to prepare for the morning court.

When the civil and military ministers looked at the court, they actually found that His Majesty had already arrived, and swore that they would come earlier in the future.

Huang Tian glanced at Huang Jiugong.

Huang Jiu said fairly: "Your Majesty has a purpose, there is a morning play, and your Majesty has something to say." ”

The waiter of the Ministry of Rites stepped forward and said, "A housekeeper disappeared in the mansion yesterday. ”

The criminal department Shangshu said: "Two maids and a master are missing from the minister's mansion. ”

......

When Huang Tian heard it, all the people on the list of people who came to Junchen's list.

Lai Junchen stepped forward and said: "The minister Shi Lai Junchen see Your Majesty, the minister found out yesterday that all the missing people in the mansion of the lords were spies sent by the Beast King Empire, and the ministers have evidence here for your lords to check." As he spoke, he made a flash, and after the brilliance flashed, the evidence of their respective parties, as well as the confessions of their subordinates.

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty can see that the person newly promoted by His Majesty is also a monk in the Yudan period, and the arrest in the palace today did not even notice it, and when Junchen got the evidence, there were actually prisoners' signatures and drawings, and there was also physical evidence.

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were frightened: "Your Majesty, the ministers are guilty." ”

Huang Tiandao: "Come to Junchen, you are responsible for burning all these incriminating evidence, and the spies will execute the rest without asking for their crimes." ”

Huang Tian's approach is like Cao Cao burning the letter of Yuan Shao, a hundred officials, after the Battle of Guandu. The reason for this is that the law does not hold the public accountable, and if the Manchu civil and military forces are investigated, three-quarters of them will be removed. Second, these collaborators are only because the enemy is strong, and when they are strong, they are naturally not afraid of their subordinates collaborating with the enemy. Three to the grace and power.

The Manchu Dynasty civil and military kowtowed again: "The ministers will definitely swear allegiance to Your Majesty from now on." ”

Huang Tiandao: "Ladies and gentlemen, do you dare to swear loyalty to me and the Hanlong Empire to your demons." ”

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty did not dare to say a word, because the oath of the demon was not a trivial matter, and once the oath was violated, it would be difficult to cultivate at the least, and it would be difficult to improve at worst, and at the worst, it would encounter the calamity of the five elements.

The ministers thought about it, this little emperor is really not simple, he took back the military power of the general Li Yan overnight, and found out the spy overnight, if he wants to be disloyal, it will be difficult to survive, only swear first, even if there is retribution in the future, it will be a matter of the future, and if you don't swear, I am afraid that I will not be able to get over today.

So there were sworn voices in the court.

It took a quarter of an hour for all the officials to finish their vows to the demons.

All the officials stood up one after another and officially began to go to court.

The Ministry of Rites Shangshu said: "Your Majesty's fifteen counties and county guards across the country have presented gifts one after another, wishing Your Majesty a great treasure. ”

Huang Tian sneered: "It's been five years since I ascended the throne, so why did I congratulate you today." ”

The Ministry of Rites Shangshu said: "This is all because Your Majesty was a hidden dragon in the past, and today is a dragon flying over the nine heavens, so this is the case." ”

Huang Tian nodded, in fact, it was just a rudder to see the wind, but this kind of thing can be seen through and not broken.

The Ministry of Rites Shangshu said: "Only the county guard of Sanchuan County did not move. ”

Huang Tiandao: "What is the background of this Li Cai, who can actually master the largest county among the sixteen counties of the Han Dragon Empire. ”

Hubu Shangshu said: "Your Majesty doesn't mention this matter, and the old minister is full of grievances when he mentions this matter." The minister is in charge of the household department, and in recent years, the household department has no need to prevent thieves at all, and even the ministers who look at the warehouse have been sent home, and there is not a single yuan crystal in this warehouse, only after His Majesty has raided the Prime Minister's Mansion, and His Majesty Tianwei has begun to pay taxes in addition to the county guards of His Majesty's Tianwei, so that the warehouse has some yuan crystals. Other counties pay some taxes, but Sanchuan County has not paid any taxes for several years. ”

Huang Tiandao: "Why is this?"

Hubu Shangshu said: "Our Hanlong Empire pays taxes according to the head and cultivation of immortals, but the main income of Yuanjing comes from minerals, land, and taxes generated by transactions. ”

Huang Tiandao: "Can the land also produce resources for cultivating immortals?"

Tobe Shangshu said: "Your Majesty is full of spiritual energy and can suddenly grow some artificially cultivated spiritual grasses, although these spiritual grasses are not as good as wild ones, but they are also useful for cultivation. These big families cultivate immortal sects, and even say that bureaucrats and these people own land, but if the population is small, the Yuan Jingshi paid is less than that of ordinary people, and in order to pay taxes, the people sometimes have to sell to the Xiuxian family or the sect to help these people cultivate, and become the dependent population of these people, and the state can't even collect the poll tax. ”

Huang Tiandao: "What about the situation in Sanchuan County?"

Hubu Shangshu said: "The situation in Sanchuan County is particularly complicated, and the four major families of Xiuxian are all in Sanchuan County, and what is even more terrifying is that the Sword Casting Sect, the Medicine King Valley, and the Spirit Rune Sect, the three largest sects of the Hanlong Empire, are all in this county, and when the imperial court was strong, the taxes of Sanchuan County could only be collected by thirty percent. ”

Huang Tian was silent. The words of the Hubu Shangshu are very informative, the class of the Xiuxian clan represented by the Xiuxian family, this class has a lot of resources, hundreds of years of inheritance, although it is rotten, but the power cannot be underestimated. In fact, to take an example from the Three Kingdoms period in China, Cao Cao's massacre of 100,000 people in Xuzhou and Cao Cao's killing of soldiers can be seen at a glance which caused more damage to Cao Cao. Cao Cao's slaughter of Xuzhou indirectly caused the Zhuge family to go south to Jingzhou, and there was no major rebellion. And Cao Cao's killing of Bian Rang caused Chen Gong to rebel and defect to Lu Bu, which almost caused Cao Cao to lose Yanzhou.

At this time, Shang Shushu stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty thinks that Li Cai is only a seventh-layer cultivator, and the reason why he can be the county guard of Sanchuan County is also the result of the balance of power of the other party. Sanchuan County is not on the frontier, and His Majesty stabilizes the balance of power with the power of thunder, I don't think Li Cai will rebel at this time, but he is just throwing stones to ask for directions to see the reaction of the imperial court. ”

Huang Tiandao: "What does Aiqing think?"

The official department Shangshu said: "Why don't you transfer Li Cai to the Beijing Division, and the imperial court appoint an official to see how he reacts?"

Yang Guo stepped forward and said: "No, the problem of Sanchuan County must be solved, this is not only a problem of the county guard, it is a question of who is big and who is small in the imperial court and the Xiuxian sect, and it is a question of whether the Xiuxian family can provide soldiers for the imperial court, if it is just for a human head, I can take it in an instant." ”

Huang Tian nodded and said, "Yes, I want to go to Sanchuan County in person, ask for weapons and pills from the Xiuxian Sect, and ask the Xiuxian family for monks to replenish the army." ”

Da Si Nong stepped forward and said, "What does Your Majesty plan to do?"

Huang Tiandao: "Patrol Sanchuan County." ”

At this time, Huang Tian remembered the voice of the summoning system in his mind: "Activate the main quest of the system: I am the only one in the world." Quest content: Submit the four major families and the three major sects. The task rewards 30,000 Yuan Crystals, a (small) Immortal Soul value of 50 points, a human soul value of 300 points, and a ghost value of 300 points. A Celestial Black Iron summoning card. ”
