Take the earth to enshrine the gods

Chapter 162 Emperor Qian's Means

When the turmoil over the establishment of the prince intensified, Emperor Qian finally made a move.

One shot,

It is the method of thunder.

First, Xu Guangqi, the Minister of Rites who was the first to propose the establishment of a prince, was dismissed from his post and asked to return to his hometown.

Then, in this round of turmoil, the more than [-] Beijing officials and local officials who were the most upbeat and lively, were dismissed from their posts, relegated to relegation, and transferred to other posts.

Here comes a top-to-bottom cleanse.

These ministers not only supported the third prince Qiantai, but also supported the other three kings, and they seemed to be playing [-] big boards each.

Of course, as the instigator, the Three Princes Group suffered the greatest loss.

All of a sudden, there was a lot of turmoil in the court, all horses were silent, and all kinds of rumors were surging in the dark.

Some people said that this turmoil was instigated by His Majesty at all, and the purpose was to let the group of princes jump out so that they could be removed one by one, taking the opportunity to cut off the wings of the princes.

Some people even said that His Majesty is in good condition.

In such a situation, the lively battle for the heirloom suddenly cooled down, and suddenly became very quiet, and the four kings suddenly became honest.

Don't dare to make trouble anymore.

No matter what the court ministers think, the people are happy to see this matter. If His Majesty recovers from his injuries, he will be able to turn the tide and stop the decline of the empire.

It is not impossible to revive the glory of the overlord of the Eastern Continent.

Qian Yuan was not very optimistic when he got the news.

If Emperor Qian was in good condition, that would be great; but if it was only a temporary display of power, then the undercurrent of the struggle for succession would only be temporarily suppressed, and one day it would erupt again.

And the explosion will be more violent.

During this round of turmoil, a retainer named Jia Xu in the Prince of Chu's Mansion began to emerge gradually, and attracted the attention of the fifth prince Gan Ke, who was promoted to a senior retainer.

…………

With the end of the autumn examination, the restructuring of all levels of Yamen in Yiyi Mansion has also come to an end.

With the joint efforts of Li Cao and the magistrate's yamen, the county yamen of the six counties under the Yiyi Mansion have completed organizational restructuring, and even the subordinate townships have set up simple yamen.

Everything is on par with Qingqiu Mansion.

Taking advantage of the opportunity of system reform, the change of officials was taken for granted. Some officials were dismissed, some highly capable officials were promoted, and some poorly capable officials were demoted.

Completed a moderate shuffle.

But everyone knows that this kind of reshuffle is not thorough, and the old power structure has not really been broken.

The real trump card is still in the autumn exam. When the exam results come out, Li Cao can take advantage of the opportunity of placing new recruits to operate on the yamen at all levels.

During this process, the attitude of the native family of Yiyi Mansion also appeared very subtle.

On the one hand, they succumbed to the authority of the Zhennan Prince's Mansion and had to lower their profile and donate money and materials to fund the new policies in roads, water conservancy, education and other fields that the Yiyi Mansion is vigorously promoting.

They even completed a new round of land measurement very cooperatively.

The smooth implementation of a series of new policies has brought a bit of vitality to the sluggish Yiyi Mansion, and there is a faint hint of new atmosphere, sweeping away the previous decadence.

It looks like a lot of fun.

However, greed is the nature of the family.

On the one hand, the local aristocratic family took advantage of the opportunity of the autumn exams to arrange for their children to take the exams in order not to weaken their influence in the officialdom.

On the other hand, they were also envious of the development of the Donglin New District, and they jointly petitioned the government office, saying that the palace should treat everyone equally, and that a new district should be established in Yiyifu.

Qian Yuan was rewarded, and he agreed without much consideration.

The only thing is that the Wangfu can share technology with the Yiyifu, but they don't provide financial support. What they can achieve in the end depends entirely on their own efforts.

In this way, those aristocratic families can't say anything. After all, Qingqiu City is the center of the fiefdom, and it is impossible for Yiyi City to enjoy the same treatment.

While fighting against the aristocratic family, Qian Yuan has also been paying attention to the movements of Qingqiu Kingdom.

Since the end of the Spring Campaign, this savage neighbor has been quiet, as if it disappeared out of thin air, not even the half-built Barbarian Pass.

But the more this happened, the more vigilant Qian Yuan became.

Perhaps aware of the existence of the black guards' spies, Qingqiu State strengthened the inspection of border personnel and confidentiality measures, making it difficult for the black guards to spy on any valuable information.

This is almost clearly telling Qianyuan that Qingqiu Kingdom is planning a big move.

Originally, Qianyuan thought that the Qingqiu Congress would launch a second war in the autumn like last year, but unfortunately it didn't.Guo Jia judged that the biggest possibility is that the North Route Army of Qingqiu Kingdom suffered heavy losses and has not yet completed reconstruction.

No matter how all the people of the Yaozu are soldiers, soldiers are not rice, which can grow in a year.

Seeing that winter has already entered, it is impossible for there to be another war this year.

But next spring, there will definitely be a big battle between the two sides. If the fief can still win, then Qingqiu Kingdom will no longer be arrogant in front of Qianyuan.

…………

October seventeenth.

Lu Bing, the black-clothed guard commander who had been presiding over the investigation in Yiyi Mansion, quietly returned to the Zhennan Palace, reported the investigation results to Qian Yuan, and said: "Your Highness, this investigation also found a strange thing."

"What's weird?"

"When investigating the Liu family in Jingji County, it was discovered that a child of the Liu family had contact with Taixuzong."

"What?" Qian Yuan frowned, "Why is it Taixuzong again, and the ghost is still there? Is this related to the Taixuzong that was wiped out before?"

Lu Bing said: "Unfortunately, the officer committed suicide just as the officer was about to investigate further."

"Another suicide."

Qian Yuan's face was extremely ugly, what kind of magical power does that Taixu Sect have, which can make so many people willing to die, it is so terrible that Qian Yuan is a little chilled.

What ulterior secret is hidden under the iceberg?

"Check, let me continue to investigate in secret, and monitor the Liu family closely, but don't alert the snake." Without finding out, Qianyuan really can't let go.

"The subordinate understands!"

The existence of Taixuzong has successfully aroused the interest of Lu Bing, a spy.

Qian Yuan thought for a while, and said: "When necessary, you can get in touch with the Half Demon Alliance. This organization hides very deeply and can get in touch with a lot of news."

After being promoted to King of Zhennan, Qianyuan began to interact more frequently with the Half-Demon Alliance.

Today, there are more than [-] half-demons living in the fief, and they are active in all walks of life. Although they can't occupy the mainstream, they are already a force that cannot be ignored.

And under Qianyuan's conscious promotion, Qingying's status in the half-monster clan is also constantly rising.

Not long ago, the Half-Demon Alliance even wanted to invite Qing Ying to rejoin the alliance and become one of the very important elders, but was rejected by Qing Ying.

But this is enough to explain the attitude of the half-demon alliance.

For the half-demon alliance, Qianyuan kept in touch with him and was not lacking in vigilance. Whether it was the half-demon fighters in the Green Willow Villa, the workers in the factory, or the beast trainers in the spirit beast farm, they were all constantly brainwashed and instilled in Qianyuan. loyalty.

Especially for half-demon warriors, loyalty is the first priority.

What Qianyuan didn't know was that the reason why he was able to win the trust of the natives of the Zulong Mountain Range was precisely because of his non-discrimination against the half-monster clan.

Of course, troubles abound.

As more and more half-demons poured into the fief, they publicly showed their faces on various occasions, and even sat on an equal footing with the human race, which caused dissatisfaction and even panic among the people in the fief.

There have been no less than ten riots in the new area just to the east.

Qian Yuan's attitude is clear and tough, and he only acts according to the law. Whether it is a human race or a half-demon, whoever makes a mistake or provokes trouble will be detained.

In this regard, Xingcao led by Song Ci implemented Qianyuan's will very well.

While being tough, Qianyuan is also using some gentle means, such as promoting the good examples of half-demon workers, and promoting the talent of half-demons in animal taming; Different nationalities, not fundamental differences between races.

Then there is the cavalry brigade of half-demon warriors that Di Qing is training, frequently performing drills outside the city to show the people that half-demons also have warriors, and they are also bleeding and dying to defend the fief.

Such a combination of soft and hard has finally paid off.
