With the smooth flow of government orders, officials from all over the country have a backbone and have begun to mobilize manpower and material resources to integrate various resources. The power exerted by a huge organization in operation is beyond the reach of any gentry of aristocratic families. What's more, there are more or less support from the rebellions in various places.

These people are not one mind, cannot get together, and cannot resist the court that is fully active.

In the past six months, the first place is Jizhou, Yanzhou and Youzhou next to Zhongzhou. These three states were first to be pacified, and they could not allow others to snore on the side of the bed.

The imperial court reorganized the camp of the imperial guards, and then integrated the soldiers of the prefectures and counties in Zhongzhou, gathering up a total of 200,000 troops. These troops were real troops, with no vacancy and no moisture.

Whenever a rebel defeated, the leading generals would gather the elites, break them up, and fill them into the army. Moreover, there were monks following the army in the imperial guards. It was easy to identify which ones were real surrenders and which ones were fake surrenders by cooperating with the monks.

When the Great Zhou swept the world, although many veterans had withered and had been peaceful for decades, the descendants of those veterans were well passed down. After all, they were the second generation and the third generation, and they were not so easy to decay and decay.

What's more, Emperor Shenwu implemented a system of rotation of border troops. Most of these nobles have experienced the border troops. They are not the kind of people who talk about war on paper. On the contrary, although the aristocratic families have no shortage of resources, people, and weapons, weapons, armor and stomach, they are just laymen when it comes to war.

The 200,000 army, the old and the old, led the new. The veterans were the remaining imperial guards after being selected by Xuan Jingshi. They were originally from border troops and had experienced siege and bombing camps. They were truly veterans. In addition, they were guilty and were extremely eager for military achievements. When fighting, they all fought desperately and were extremely brave.

Although the private soldiers brought by these aristocratic families have experienced strict training and sufficient soldiers and food, they have never been on the battlefield after all. Before the Shenwu Emperor's refining human and demon pills was exposed, the Great Zhou was still in a peaceful and prosperous era. Except for the border wars from time to time, the rest of the places were calm and there was almost no basis for war.

The movements of the Great Zhou were too fast, and it was a bit incredible. Originally, the aristocratic families believed that the center would fall into chaos in fighting for power and profit. It would take at least two or three months from the establishment of the crown prince to the new emperor ascending the throne.

But who would have thought that the court would actually let Princess Yong'an succeed to the throne, which was unexpected.

Of course, these three states are close to the center, and even if there is a rebellion, it is just a small fight. Although it is huge, it can only take refugees to occupy the territory of prefectures and counties and consume the combat power of the imperial guards.

The rebellions outside the three states are not so easy to deal with. Not all rebels are so vulnerable. The farther away from the court, the stronger these rebels are.

They fought against each other, occupied prefectures and counties, and competed for resources. In this process, the rebels under their command were reborn and became real troops, and even more so, they conquered most of the states.

In troubled times, unless you can control the center of the golden horns, silver and grass belly, and use the emperor to command the princes, the closer you get to the center, the more you will be in trouble.

Of course, the court was not only eliminating the rebels, but also reforming the internal situation. When Emperor Shenwu was alive, the laws were loose and nepotism were nepotism, and officials from all over the country were in harmony, which made the administration corrupt.

Later, even though the cabinet chief Zhang Daozhi was so ruthless, he had no support from the emperor, and even if he wanted to reorganize the administration and eliminate the ills, he was powerless. At the time, the late emperor always complained about him. After all, he was unwilling to make big fuss when he was old. However, Zhang Daozhi was very capable, and Emperor Shenwu still had to rely on him to stabilize the court, so he could only tolerate it.

Otherwise, how could he keep the court running if he stayed in the Yangxin Hall?

There were only a few cabinet ministers in the cabinet, and no strong minister was suppressed. I am afraid they had started fighting long ago. Moreover, the territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty was traversing thousands of miles, and hundreds of trillions of people could not be finished by reading a few memorials. Many major events needed the emperor's approval to pass.

This is also the biggest reason why the court cannot operate without an emperor.

Now that Emperor Yong'an succeeds to the throne, Empress Chen takes power in power, and has the right to criticize the winner. The current relationship between the two parties is quite tacit understanding. They also know that the current Great Zhou Dynasty is very similar to the situation of Emperor Shenwu's succession to the throne. Therefore, they only need to follow the path of the former emperor.

With the strong support of Empress Chen, Zhang Daozhi was tough and showed his iron-blooded style. For a time, a storm of anti-corruption and anti-corruption was set off in the capital. Every day, countless officials were raided, exiled, and beheaded. These were all the sycamores of the court.

When Emperor Shenwu was reigning, he thought that these people were old ministers and turned a blind eye. However, without the emperor's protection, they were like fattening lambs. The court was waiting for their property to fill the treasury. There were also many people waiting for them to die to make a seat. Of course, there were also corrupt officials who sacrificed their property in advance to save their lives, and there were officials who had strong relationships and colluded with nobles. Therefore, the court only dealt with some of the officials.

If the water is clear, there will be no fish. In the officialdom, you must be in harmony with the light and have a one-size-fits-all approach. It is not a good thing for the court. What's more, those nobles and military generals are still quelling the chaos in various places. As soon as they leave, you will confiscate their homes. Are you afraid that they will turn around and defect to those aristocratic families?

Under the leadership of Zhang Daozhi, the government has refined its troops and simplified its administration and fought against corruption, and the efficiency of the court's affairs has been greatly improved compared with the past, and its control over the states and counties has reached a higher level.

However, during this period, the Tatars in the northwest grassland invaded border towns with great momentum and even broke through several barriers at one point. Fortunately, the center had already had a pre-trial and the reaction was very timely, and they were defeated.

The only drawback is that the Tatars have not suffered much losses and will definitely make a comeback in the future.

National Master's Mansion.

Su Ming sat in the backyard, with a small eucalyptus in front of him, and a black piano was placed on the eucalyptus. It was midsummer, and there was a pond in the yard where lotus flowers bloomed, red, pink, white, and golden swayed in the breeze, and the faint fragrance of lotus lingered in the air.

He leaned in front of the eucalyptus, his fingertips flying, and the sound of the pianist lingered. "Honor, the secret guards of Xuanjingsi have been trained, and all the armor and weapons have been arranged." A dark figure slowly emerged behind him.

Su Ming raised his eyelids slightly and said, "Send them to various prefectures and counties to re-establish Xuanjingsi, occupy large cities first, and don't need to worry about small counties and do a good job in intelligence."

"Yes, Venerable." The man in black robe bowed and disappeared in the courtyard again.

Three months ago, Li Wan'er handed the secret guards in his hand to him, and directly doubled the power of the secret guards in his hand. With enough manpower, it would be faster to expand the Xuanjingsi personnel.

After he invested a lot of resources, the imperial guards who were selected embarked on the path of monks. They were from the army and had martial arts cultivation. They mainly learned the use of various talismans and magical instruments.

For this reason, Su Ming had almost consumed all the resources obtained in the Emperor's Inner Canal. Moreover, in order to refine magic weapons, armor and elixirs, he also sent out the soul cultivators in his hand. At the same time, he also asked them to initiate and preach the imperial guards, and improve their cultivation and combat abilities in the shortest time.

If there weren't more than a dozen Yuanshen monks waiting for the order, otherwise, this would never have been completed in just three months.

In order to accomplish this, in the past three months, the people in Xuanjingsi have been hiding in and rarely go out.

Therefore, Su Ming personally handled some troubles, which made him not appear in front of the court officials for a long time.

Fortunately, all this effort is worth it. Xuan Jingsi added 20,000 secret guards, almost three times the number before. These people were also transformed by Su Ming with the Wuwo Sanskrit.

Of course, it is still much worse than the Xuan Jingsi at its peak. Its combat power cannot be compared with the number of people, or the cultivation level.

With these secret guards, it would be easy to rebuild Xuanjingsi in various places, not to mention that after Xuanjingsi secret guards participated in the war, the imperial army's combat power had reached a higher level and was more convenient to deal with the rebels.

"Xiaobai, it's time for you to enter the realm of the soul." After he left, Su Ming put the Tianlongqin in the storage ring and looked at the tiger lying beside him.

"Aowu." Hearing Su Ming's voice, she raised her big head and roared, as if she was a little excited.

Su Ming has always suppressed it from being promoted to the Yuanshen Realm just to enhance its foundation in the Yuanshen Realm, and his combat power quickly soared after entering the Yuanshen Realm.

"Go."

Su Ming touched its head and whispered.

Xiaobai rubbed his hand, then stood up and took off without any nostalgia, and disappeared. Although Su Ming didn't care on the surface, he secretly sent two soul monks to take care of him.

When Xiaobai passes the tribulation, they will not participate because this is its tribulation, but once the tribulation of the soul is over, there will definitely be people who take advantage of the situation to rob.

A white tiger with dragon blood is extremely rare, not to mention that the white tiger blood in the body of Xiaobai has been developed many times. How can such a soul demon not cause greed to spy on others?

And if it survives the tribulation near the capital, the movement will be too great, and Su Ming has no time to care about it.

After Xiaobai left, Su Ming returned to Tianshu Pavilion. Compared to the previous lonely, Tianshu Pavilion is more popular now. Each floor has special secret guards to deal with news about things from all over the country.

He followed the stairs and stepped step by step to the top of Tianshu Pavilion.

Standing here, overlooking the capital, you can even see a little bit of the imperial city. In three months, the capital has regained its prosperity, even more prosperous than when Li Wan'er succeeded to the throne. The new emperor and new atmosphere are relatively corruption and loneliness when Emperor Shenwu was reignited, and the current capital has regained its vitality.

Shangjing City, as the ancient capital of the Thirteen Dynasties, gathered the essence of the entire Great Zhou Dynasty. As long as the court is still there, it will always maintain a transcendent position. Moreover, as the Guanzhong Plain gradually recovers, the fertility of the land gradually recovers, making Shangjing City self-sufficient and no longer requires canal transportation.

Therefore, compared with the previous dynasty, the court saved a lot of manpower and material resources.

At this moment, Su Ming looked at the pedestrians coming and going on the street, and a trace of coldness flashed in his eyes. Unfortunately, the Great Zhou Dynasty could never return to its peak state during the reign of Emperor Shenwu.

Now, the national destiny of the Great Zhou Dynasty has only recovered to less than one-third of its heyday, which has been cleared out after the three states next to Zhongzhou.

However, rebels from all over the country have begun to take root in the local area. Although they are rebelling, no one has become king or emperor. They can only be regarded as a small separatist force. However, with the support of the aristocratic families, they have played the game of building high walls, accumulating grain, and slowly becoming king.

There were also aristocratic families who united and occupied the prefectures and counties early on, and swept over two or three major states. They were so powerful that they became kings and waiters, but after all, they were far away from the central hinterland and were beyond the reach of the court.

The dispatch of troops from surrounding prefectures and counties could not pose a threat to these rebels. For a moment, the court had no choice but to slowly plan for it, take the center as the core, and slowly recover the lost territory.

Even though there have been constant rebellions in various places, the basic foundation of the court is still there and the people have not completely lost their hearts. However, unexpected events have occurred. In recent years, disasters have continued in various places, and corrupt officials have been rampant, forcing the people to rebel.

Although the court quickly reformed the administration of officials and fought against corruption, it was too late. Moreover, the imperial court's government orders reached the local area, and once the interests of local officials were violated, it would often become distorted. Therefore, the court's anti-corruption and corruption can only be carried out in the center and cannot be promoted in the local area.

As the people rebelled, coupled with the promotion of aristocratic families, rebellions in various places continued to perish.

In Su Ming's eyes, dragons have been born in all parts of the world. In addition to the imperial court, there is a dragon in each of the three directions of the southeast, north and north, and there are also grass pythons and pythons. But as long as the Great Zhou dragon in the capital does not die, dragons from all over the world will never be able to turn into dragons. In the northwest grassland, a dragon wolf lies there, staring at the Central Plains.

Moreover, not only this, he also saw the demonic energy that was filled with southern Xinjiang and the dragon energy in the water veins in the world. If it were placed in the past, he would not have seen it.

However, now he is a national teacher. Emperor Yong'an ordered him to take charge of the Imperial Heaven and monitor the strange phenomena in the world. With this power, Su Ming can see through the luck in various places.

“Huh?”

Suddenly, Su Ming's expression froze and he turned his eyes outside the capital. There, three figures slowly appeared in his sight, one monk, one Taoist and one Confucian.

This monk is Su Ming's former follower, Monk Wangchen. He was wearing a gray monk's robe and looked at the gate of the capital with a sigh, and had already entered the realm of the Nascent Soul.

There were two other people beside him, one was a young Taoist priest wearing a black Taoist robe. He was tall and held floating dust in his hands, with extraordinary temperament, and was also in the realm of the Nascent Soul. Beside him was a young scholar wearing a white scholar's uniform. He was born with a good leather bag, holding a folding fan, and was gentle and elegant, with a noble aura faintly appearing between his eyebrows.

When he saw them, Su Ming observed their luck, but he found that except for Monk Wangchen, he could not see through the other two people.
