Self-cultivation of bad people can be done automatically

Chapter 206
The meritorious minister Zhu Youning mentioned was of course Zhong Xiaokui.

Just this morning, news came from the court that Lord Zhong of the Shadow Secret Guard had returned from Khitan with [-] horses.

Of course, Zhu Youning was surprised and pleasantly surprised.

Two thousand horses are not many, but they are not many. Anyway, they can form a cavalry!
Overjoyed, Zhu Youning rewarded Zhong Xiaokui on the spot, and rewarded the accompanying shadow guards with some pommel horses, ribbons, gold and silver.

Later, Zhu Youning announced that the Shadow Secret Guard would become a secret service agency under the imperial power.

Zhong Xiaokui is naturally still in charge of Shadow Secret Guard.

At this time, in a side hall of Jinxiang Hall, Zhu Youning specially summoned Zhong Xiaokui alone.

And Zhong Xiaokui was also reporting on the Northern Khitan for Zhu Youning.

"Your Majesty, with the help of the Shadow Secret Guards, the Khitan Khan Yelulage has defeated the four rebels of the Khitan Eighth Division, but the territory of Khitan is still full of dangers, and his Khan position may not be secure. It is said that someone has Having obtained the evidence of his collaboration with the enemy, he intends to welcome the previous generation of Khan Yelu Abaoji."

Zhu Youning was thoughtful when he heard this.

He is happy to see Khitan become what it is now.

However, if Yelu Abaoji really returned to Khitan and became a Khan, it is still possible for Khitan to rise.

Thinking of this, Zhu Youning immediately felt that it was necessary for him to arrest Yelu Abaoji throughout Daliang.

Before, Zhu Youning had the idea of ​​killing the Khitan hero Yelu Abaoji in the cradle, but he had no power.

Now that he is the Son of Heaven, he naturally doesn't need to tiptoe around.

"Xiao Kui, you must pay attention to the matter of Yelu Abaoji. Once you find it, you will be killed! In addition, I will offer a huge reward for Yelu Abaoji's head. I believe he will not escape!"

Zhong Xiaokui immediately hugged her fist.

At this time, Zhu Youning said again: "By the way, there is one more thing you need to do, the old department of Xuanming Sect, you send someone to gather it up."

"The minister obeys the order!"

About a month later, all branches of Xuanming Sect sent people to Bianzhou.

When the new king ascends the throne, they will naturally show their submission.

Otherwise, they are nothing more than ordinary desperadoes.

The reason why the world's three major assassination organizations can be feared is not only because of the insidiousness of their actions, but also because they are each backed by a big country.

However, the surrender of Xuan Ming Sect did not have much effect on Zhu Youning.

Because the rudder masters who are in charge of the five major sub-rudders, the five great Yamas are all dead, and Black and White Impermanence also followed the ghost king Zhu Youwen. In fact, the middle and lower levels of Xuanming Sect have lost their gear.

It would be better to reuse the Shadow Guard.

Therefore, Zhu Youning directly asked the remaining Xuanming disciples to change their banners, and brought them under the Shadow Secret Guards, becoming a sword in Zhong Xiaokui's hands.

Of course, what Zhu Youning declared to the common people was: Xuanming Sect is notorious and has harmed the world, and now it must be punished with justice!

As soon as the edict came out, the people couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. They felt that the sword hanging above their heads had disappeared, and they immediately praised it.

Zhu Youning also let the "Jianghu Times" publish the news about the banning of the Xuanming Sect.

For a moment, those who didn't know what to do in the arena also breathed a sigh of relief.

By the way, Zhu Youning has ordered the establishment of an official newspaper organization belonging to the state of Liang: Daliang Daily in the past month since he took the throne!
"Daliang Daily" plus "Jianghu Times", Zhu Youning can be said to have invested most of his energy and financial resources in controlling public opinion.

There are many things that three people become tigers, and everyone speaks out.

The power of public opinion, needless to say.

Zhu Youning must be caught.

However, simply grasping public opinion without doing practical things will not have much effect.

After all, public opinion is only an auxiliary means of consolidating the rule. If we really want to consolidate the rule, we must rely on hard work for the people.

Therefore, within only one month of his ascension to the throne, Zhu Youning formulated many national policies that benefited the country and the people.

For example, it ordered the restoration of river embankments in Suanzao County to prevent flooding in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River.

The "cattle rent" implemented by Liang Taizu was abolished, so that farmers were exempted from the burden of renting and storing cattle.

Restoring camp fields, using idle fields to set up military settlements, farming with soldiers and landless households, and restoring agricultural production.

He issued a decree to encourage escaping households to return to work and resume agricultural production, and promulgated an edict that "after each escaping household returns to work, the Weizhou Division will be issued a public certificate, and the two tax departments will be exempted within two years".

Newly opened important canal channels from Wangmakou to Yukou.

In addition, open a course to obtain a scholar and seek talents for the country
Under Zhu Youning's diligent administration for more than a month, Daliang seems to be thriving.

But soon there was a piece of news that broke the calm.

When Zhu Youning was approving the memorial in the side hall of Jinxiang Hall, Zhong Xiaokui immediately walked in from the outside.

"Your Majesty, an assassin has sneaked into the palace, and it seems to be in the Long Live Palace."

When Zhu Youning heard this, was it okay?Immediately stopped writing.

"Who has the courage to trespass into the palace?!"

After finishing speaking, Zhu Youning immediately rushed towards the Long Live Hall.

He intends to catch the thief himself.

The main reason is that the Long Live Hall is his bedroom, and there are two concubines living in it, so it is not suitable to move soldiers.

Soon, Zhu Youning and Zhong Xiaokui came to the Long Live Hall.

As soon as he arrived, he went straight to Lu Linxuan's bedroom.

Princess Shangrao also stayed with Lu Linxuan, and this was the most important place in the entire Long Live Hall.

As soon as Zhu Youning entered the palace gate, he saw a man in red kneeling there, holding his head with his hands in a gesture of surrender.

And the target of his kneeling was Lu Linxuan.

Of course, beside Lu Linxuan, Princess Shangrao was hugging her tightly.

Zhu Youning recognized the identity of the man in red at a glance.

Li Xingyun!
Zhu Youning sneered, waved his hand and said, "Xiao Kui, take him down!"

"Yes!"

Zhong Xiaokui cupped his fists and galloped towards Li Xingyun.

Li Xingyun only felt a gust of wind coming, turned his head and saw Zhong Xiaokui's figure.

Seeing the killing intent in Zhong Xiaokui's eyes, Li Xingyun jumped up and asked vigilantly, "Who are you?"

Zhong Xiaokui's deep voice sounded, "If you dare to trespass into the palace, you will be killed without mercy!"

After finishing speaking, he slapped a fiery red palm.

As Zhong Xiaokui became more proficient in the wedding dress magic skill, her palm strength at this time was completely different from the softness before, but became more vigorous.

After being trained by Yuan Tiangang, Li Xingyun's own knowledge has long been extraordinary.Seeing Zhong Xiaokui's deep internal energy, he didn't dare to fight recklessly, and retreated with a little kick.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he dodged the palm, he felt a sudden sharp wind behind his head.

It turned out that Zhong Xiaokui was very powerful, and when he saw Li Xingyun dodging, he bent his palms into claws and attacked from behind, almost grabbing one of Li Xingyun's ears.

Li Xingyun rolled on the ground, dodging in embarrassment, knowing that the coming person was cruel, and at the same time, he was about to fight back, but unexpectedly, his whole body was bound by an invisible silk thread.

When did this silk thread entangle yourself?

Li Xingyun was startled, but the next moment, Zhong Xiaokui forcibly held down his shoulder and knelt on the ground with one knee.
