Longevity begins with Jinyiwei

With a sullen face, Xu Feng scolded, and the original quarrel was suddenly quiet.

"Is His Majesty's will not clear enough?"

"It's not big enough for you guys to be meddlesome, you need to add fuel to the fire, right?"

"No, my lord, we just came to see you..."

"That's fine, I'll see it now, what should I do!"

Under the scolding, the group of warriors who were originally aggressive suddenly looked like quails, they dared not speak, they looked at each other, and then they all cupped their hands at Xu Feng and retreated.

Watching the generals leave, Xu Feng's face became more and more gloomy.

He didn't care about it before, but now that he cares about it, he really realizes the unscrupulousness of these martial arts, the king's law, can restrain civil servants and restrain the people, but to them, I'm afraid it's not even bullshit.

It is obvious that such unscrupulous rebelliousness will challenge the emperor's bottom line sooner or later.

"Go to the General Staff, and bring over the General Staff's strategic plan for Mongolia and the hypocrisy."

As his thoughts circulated, Xu Feng turned around and instructed the generals on the side.

If you have nowhere to vent your energy, then throw it all to the front line, and vent all your rebelliousness on the enemy.

His thoughts flashed away, Xu Feng stood there for a moment, then slowly turned around and returned to the mansion. The gate of the mansion was also slowly closed.

……

"Marquis of Changning, Marquis of Jingbian, Bo Ding'an... and the head of the Ministry of Industry, the Department of Cleaning Officials of the Ministry of Officials..."

In the Qianqing Palace, a general stood in the hall, and a personal name was also spit out from the general's mouth.

"My father-in-law scolded, and the generals and ministers retreated. Later, my father-in-law sent someone to go to the general staff, and took the strategic plan for Mongolia and the hypocrisy formulated by the general staff..."

It wasn't until the general finished speaking that Li Xiu waved his hand slowly, and the general retreated away.

It wasn't until the general left the hall that the emperor slowly put down the pen in his hand, stood there, silent for a long time, and after taking a long breath, he took a step and walked out of the hall.

A group of eunuchs and maids standing outside the palace also rushed over immediately. Li Xiu waved his hand, and all the court ladies and eunuchs stopped in place immediately.

"His Majesty………"

Wang Wu tiptoed forward and couldn't help asking.

"No need to follow, I will walk by myself!"

"Old slave understands."

Wang Wu hurriedly waved to the ladies and eunuchs, and everyone immediately retreated in an orderly manner. Immediately, Wang Wu bowed to the emperor and retreated respectfully.

In the open space outside the hall, groups of armored and sharp-edged soldiers stood neatly everywhere, and the Dahenglong Banner fluttered in the wind, making a sound of hunting.

The Son of Heaven stood alone, looking around, but suddenly felt an unspeakable sense of loneliness in his heart.

Coming to this world, I am alone, trying to survive in troubled times.

As time went by, he had a younger brother who was as close as a brother, and a group of subordinates who followed him in the north and south.

But when he stepped into the position of the Ninth Five-Year Supreme and possessed everything in the world, it seemed that he would return to the state of being alone again.

Few people can understand what he is going to do!

Everyone has their own interests.

Most of these interest demands have irreconcilable conflicts with what he wants to do.

He will inevitably go farther and farther on the road of being alone.

It seems that the sentence that he insisted so hard that he has no shame in his heart seems to have been completely obliterated with the passage of time.

The Son of Heaven can only be a loner!

An ambitious emperor, but also a complete loner.

If you want to be ashamed of your heart, you must be ashamed of the world!

Li Xiu sighed, at the beginning, he really just wanted to change history while pursuing the pinnacle of martial arts!

In his whole life, he has gone wrong by accident, and good fortune has played tricks on people!

Supremacy is very beautiful, but if you want to make a difference while holding the supreme power, it is not beautiful.

Rights are the most beautiful only when they are used for enjoyment.

It is difficult to be a wise ruler, and it is also difficult to get a wise ruler. There are many foolish rulers, and there are more corrupt officials.

He is asking for trouble!

While his thoughts were flowing, Li Xiu also walked aimlessly in the palace.

"His Majesty!"

Just as Li Xiu's thoughts were racing, a voice brought him back to reality again.

It turned out that at some time, he actually walked in front of Wenyuan Pavilion, and the two ancestors, Liu Qiyuan and Zongdao, bowed and worshiped in front of him.

"I was wandering around, but I didn't notice it, but I came to the cabinet."

Li Xiu chuckled, looked up at the high-hanging Wenyuan Pavilion plaque, then stepped forward and walked towards Wenyuan Pavilion.

Lai Zongdao and Liu Qiyuan looked at each other, and then they followed Li Xiu and walked into the cabinet together.

When he saw the mountain of playbooks on the desks of the two cabinet elders, Li Xiu couldn't help but chuckled: "It seems that the cabinet should also add cabinet ministers, otherwise, you two will have a hard time."

Hearing this, Lai Zongdao and Liu Qiyuan couldn't help showing joy, but they still quickly responded: "It is also an honor for the ministers to serve His Majesty and the country. It is the duty of the ministers."

"Hahahaha, you guys will say it."

The emperor laughed, and then waved his hand: "Just follow the rules of the previous Ming Dynasty, Ting Tui enters the cabinet..."

Speaking of this, the emperor paused for a while, and suddenly changed the topic: "How are you preparing for the assessment that the cabinet supervises?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the students of the Martial Arts Academy have been notified, and there are officials to be selected from the Ministry of Officials. The time and place have also been determined. I am summarizing and preparing to send it to Your Majesty. Unexpectedly, Your Majesty came to the cabinet in person." gone."

After finishing speaking, Lai Zongdao handed over the notebook on the table to Li Xiu respectfully.

"In the spring of next year, Wenyuan Pavilion will hold an assessment..."

The Son of Heaven murmured, then shook his head: "It's too late to start spring next year, let's say next month, it will be in late November."

Lai Zongdao was suspicious, and after a while, he couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty, in this case, the time is too rushed. Many officials who are out of town and are at home may not be able to make it."

"It's only late October now, and there is still more than a month until late November, which is almost enough."

The emperor waved his hand indifferently, but the implication that the words could not be rejected was very clear.

"The cabinet supervises this matter as soon as possible. Before this year, the vacancies of officials in various places must be filled."

"The minister obeys the order!"

In this way, Lai Zongdao and the two had no choice but to respond.

"After this assessment is over, the cabinet can add cabinet ministers, which can be put on the agenda."

The emperor changed the subject again, and changed the topic to what the two cabinet heads wanted to hear most.

"You guys draw up a charter first, and hand over a playbook."

"There is also the matter of opening a course to obtain a scholar in Lixia next year. We must also be prepared. For the first time in the new dynasty, there must be no problems."

"Your Majesty, don't worry..."

Lai Zongdao and the two clapped their hands together again.

Li Xiu nodded and said nothing more.

At this time, Liu Qiyuan hesitated for a while before asking:

"Your Majesty, when will the reform be implemented?"

"Not urgent."

The emperor shook his head. After all, the northern provinces are different from Liaodong. Liaodong completely overthrows everything and rebuilds order. In this way, there will not be too much resistance to change.

But in the northern provinces, although his control is already quite deep, he has not even filled the vacancies of officials in various places. Under the condition that the ruling order is not sound, implementing reforms, no matter how good the starting point is, you don’t need to think about it, it will definitely become a disaster for the country and the people tyranny.

Li Xiu glanced at Liu Qiyuan, then waved his hand.

"The cabinet will take care of the immediate affairs first. If there are reforms, I will make arrangements."

"The minister obeys the order."

The two worshiped again, but the emperor didn't stop, and Shi Shiran went out of the cabinet.

It wasn't until the figure of the Son of Heaven disappeared from sight that Lai Zongdao and his two slowly stood up straight.

Liu Qiyuan said: "Your Majesty probably wants to wait for the officials from all over the country to make up for it before starting the reform."

"That's natural, how could His Majesty fight unprepared battles!"

Lai Zongdao didn't think so, but then said: "Adding the words of the cabinet ministers, this matter has yet to be considered."

Liu Qiyuan frowned: "You mean..."

Lai Zongdao shook his head: "Your Majesty put the matter of supplementing cabinet ministers after the assessment, why do you say?"

After finishing speaking, Lai Zongdao let out a sigh of relief: "Your Majesty has appeased our hearts, so we must also appease Wu Xun!"

Liu Qiyuan said: "Then each will take half and select the best."

"can."

Lai Zongdao nodded: "Let's deal with this matter as soon as possible, the time is so tight, it seems that His Majesty can't wait for this reform."

"There is also the title that His Majesty gave to the two princesses, and the Ministry of Rites must fix it as soon as possible."

Lai Zongdao spoke in an orderly manner, Liu Qiyuan seemed to have thought of something, his brows were frowned, and he hesitated to speak many times.

"what happened to you?"

It took a while for Lai Zongdao to notice the change in Liu Qiyuan's expression.

Liu Qiyuan said in a deep voice, "Did we all overlook one thing?"

Seeing Liu Qiyuan's serious expression, Lai Zongdao couldn't help but his heart skipped a beat, and asked quickly, "What's the matter?"

"The coffins of the two former emperors are still parked in the palace!"

"The construction of the two tombs has already been completed."

"His Majesty has never made any will about this."

Hearing this, Lai Zongdao's face became serious.

After a long while, he whispered: "Could it be because of the Shou Wang rebellion?"

"That's what worries me."

Liu Qiyuan nodded: "Your Majesty's ascension to the throne before was to inherit the legal system of the former Ming Dynasty, so naturally he respects the former Ming Dynasty."

"But now, King Shou has fled to the south of the Yangtze River, directly denied the rationality of the Zen position, and completely tore his face. Even if we have never acknowledged the existence of Nanming, everyone in the world can see clearly... "

"I'm worried that His Majesty has been completely disheartened and just let this matter go, then this matter will be troublesome."

"Pros and cons, His Majesty will naturally distinguish clearly."

Lai Zongdao shook his head: "Well, when we meet His Majesty another day, let's go test it out."

"It can only be this way."

Liu Qiyuan frowned, and his heart was full of helplessness. It was really tiring to work under the hands of an emperor who didn't follow the rules at all!

4 Seventy Chapters Ningbo Finance and Taxation (3000+)

The conflict between the ruling and the opposition in the capital has never stopped, the alternation between the old and the new, the confrontation between the civil and the military, the turbulent people's hearts, and the emperor's suppression of people's hearts, as well as the reform trend that has been brewing to the extreme...

Everything is intertwined and surrounded in this capital city, or is brewing silently.

In the south of the Yangtze River, compared with the undercurrents in the capital and even the entire north, this frontline place is much simpler.

Tens of thousands of troops occupy the natural dangers of rivers and rivers, hold Nanjing, the political symbol of Jiangnan, the land of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and the Jiangnan navy enough to suppress one side of the sea.

In this way, it is natural to firmly grasp the strategic initiative, coupled with the strong northern army that can come to support at any time, the provinces in the south of the Yangtze River are naturally as stable as Mount Tai.

Of course, it is stable, but the provinces in the south of the Yangtze River have been in a state of war since the founding of Daheng.

The rule under such a state of war is naturally not soft, and the slightest thought of turmoil is brutal and bloody suppression. Moreover, since it is almost close to Nanming, most of those who disobeyed fled to the border of Nanming long ago.
