After attending the morning court, Qin Yun returned to the imperial study.
After experiencing Wang Min's test last night, he became even more urgent. The palace was as deep as the sea, and even the imperial concubine beside him was so extraordinary. What else could he believe in?
Regarding Wang Min, Qin Yun's attitude is that it is best if she can do her job honestly, and if she dares to make any mistakes, she will be destroyed!
Today he learned.
The military strength of the imperial capital consists of three battalions and two Davids, totaling more than 100,000 people.
But the only thing he could really rest assured was Xiao Jian's left camp. The right camp and the army in the middle camp were all tightly controlled by the Wang family.
Even the Jinwu Guard is commanded by Wang Ming! The general position of the Qinglong Guard is temporarily vacant, and is commanded by a deputy general.
If the Wang family ever wants to do something treasonous and unethical, the emperor himself will still be faced with the situation of having no troops at his disposal!
There were many such mutinies in ancient times.
It takes time to govern the court and suppress powerful officials. Qin Yun is more eager to find ways to control more troops.
As the saying goes, imperial power emerges from the barrel of a gun. This has been true since ancient times.
There are more than 20,000 people in the Qinglong Guard. The previous general died of illness and has been vacant.
Qin Yun focused his attention on this.
"What should I do?"
He muttered to himself that there was not even a single candidate for promotion.
"Conduct a martial arts competition and become the champion in martial arts!"
Qin Yun's eyes suddenly shot out a bright light!
Emperors in the past dynasties would hold imperial examinations to recruit talents when they faced no one available.
This is also a major way for the emperor to promote talents from poor families!
Daxia is no exception.
Damn it, I'm so smart!
Qin Yun suddenly stood up, a smile appeared on his face, and he kept walking back and forth.
Most of the powerful ministers were related to aristocratic families in various places, and he did not dare to use many of them, but wouldn't it be enough to promote the children of poor families?
"The Jinwu Guards and the Qinglong Guards are both forbidden troops in the imperial palace. Their significance is self-evident. Military control is far more stringent than government control."
"That's it for now, step by step, guys like Lin Changshu will deal with it slowly later."
He looked outside the imperial study: "Come here, summon General Xiao Jian to the palace for an audience!"
"..."
After noon.
Qin Yun humbly asked Xiao Jian about military affairs and asked him to express his opinions on military examinations.
After Xiao Jian heard the cause and effect, he greatly agreed!
Moreover, he was very pleased that His Majesty could treat the corporal with courtesy and advice. The Xiao family was loyal to the Emperor, unlike the Wang family. It would be best if the power of the court was in the hands of His Majesty alone.
Therefore, when he went to court the next day, Qin Yun discussed the matter of holding a national martial arts competition, which would be aimed at children from poor families and would not be selected from the aristocratic children of the imperial court.
And it was implicitly expressed that Wu Zhuangyuan will serve as the general of the Qinglong Guard of the Forbidden Army!
As soon as the news came out, the government and the public were shocked!
The promotion of Xiao Jian once made Wang Wei and other powerful officials restless and unhappy.
So this time, holding the top prize in martial arts and throwing out the prize of General Qinglongwei is like throwing a thunderbolt into their waistbands.
Wang Wei led the officials to stand up in various objections, and argued with Qin Yun with a red face and thick neck, which was completely stepped on.
A full two hours of saliva fighting.
Qin Yun still had no idea, because the opposition from the ministers in the DPRK was so loud that they almost threatened death.
In particular, this martial arts competition was aimed at children from poor families, and they were indiscriminately bombarded by many scornful scholars!
Poor families and nobles have been inextricable conflicts throughout the ages.
The great general of the imperial army is of great significance. Nearly 90% of the ministers are either rich or noble. Their ancestors are Confucian scholars and famous people. They will not allow people from poor families to touch the cakes of the nobles.
Therefore, what Qin Yun encountered was not opposition from Wang Wei's camp, but opposition from all the nobles in the court!
They seemed to have a tacit understanding. Even if they occasionally fought, they were on the same page at this moment.
Early morning, parting unhappy!
After arguing for a long time, there was no result.
Qin Yun returned to the Yangxin Palace and became furious!
"Crack!"
He kicked over a blue and white porcelain vase and shattered it on the floor.
The eunuch and the maidservant knelt on the ground, trembling all over, not daring to say a word. His Majesty had not been so angry for many years.
"Fuck, Grand Master Wei dares to insult me in front of the court and say that I am stupid. Do you really think that I don't dare to kill him?!"
"Sour Confucians, a group of sour Confucians, dare to follow powerful officials like Wang Wei to stop me from starting a martial arts competition!"
"The powerful ministers are in power and they don't promote poor families. Damn you!"
Qin Yun was so angry by the group of old men that he cursed and overturned the pear wood table with one hand.
After traveling through time, this is the first time I have been so angry!
Sitting in the Jinluan Hall, I was scolded by Grand Master Wei Zheng but I couldn't take action, otherwise I would be called a foolish king again, so I had to take it back and retaliate on my own.
Qin Yun thought to himself that he was probably the most useless emperor.
No one dared to approach Qin Yun. Only Concubine Xiao Shu frowned, with a worried look on her face. She walked up to Qin Yun holding a bowl of tea with her slender fingers.
"Your Majesty, drink some water..."
Qin Yun was so angry that he slapped the tea bowl away. Concubine Xiao Shu could not stand firmly and her delicate body fell to the ground with a bang.
After fanning himself, Qin Yun regretted it.
He quickly stretched out his hand to help her and said apologetically: "Xian'er, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it. I thought it was some blind palace maid."
Concubine Xiao Shu was still in shock, she squeezed out a gentle smile and said with relief: "It's okay, Your Majesty."
"You must take care of your dragon body and don't get angry. What the ministers said is not completely unreasonable. Naturally, nobles will not be willing to promote poor families. If your Majesty wants to train his own people, you can actually think of other ways."
Hearing this, Qin Yun smiled bitterly, thinking that you are speaking for the ministers, but the ministers are making a fuss about you and your brother.
The ancestors of the Xiao family were engaged in business and were not favored by the nobles.
Today, the voices of many ministers have spread to the two Xiao Jian brothers who have been in the limelight recently, saying that the martial arts competition of the poor family is a ecstasy soup poured into them by the Xiao family.
By accident, two siblings, Xiao Jian and Xiao Shufei, were involved in this turmoil, and were dissatisfied by many noble ministers.
Especially, it’s Wang Wei!
Gilt dragon bed.
Qin Yun lay on his side with his pillow on her fragrant nephrite legs.
Xiao Shufei looked gentle and stretched out her hands to massage his head.
She is ingenious and very virtuous. After only pressing the button for a short while, Qin Yun already felt a lot more refreshed.
"Oh, Xiang'er, you are so comfortable." Qin Yun sighed with squinting eyes.
Concubine Xiao Shu showed a happy smile and opened her mouth softly: "Your Majesty, I am ashamed to say that I am a woman, so I can't help you. I feel very guilty."
"Why can't you help me? Give me more children in the future." Qin Yun stroked her jade legs.
Concubine Xiao Shu's pretty face blushed, a glimmer of light flashed in her eyes, and she whispered softly: "I also want to give birth to a dragon son for Your Majesty as soon as possible."
"For me, Your Majesty is the most important thing to me. Continuing the bloodline for Your Majesty and having children are the blessings that Xiang'er cultivated in his previous life."
Qin Yun opened his eyes, and the man's vanity was overwhelming. Isn't such a woman ten thousand times better than the feminism of later generations?
"Hey, concubine, what are you waiting for?"
He turned over and sat up, with green light in his eyes, and his hands seemed to have pulled open her blue waistband.
A hint of shame flashed in Concubine Xiao Shu's eyes. She walked away from the palace maid, untied her bun, and wrapped her legs around Qin Yun like a snake, taking the rare initiative.
