In the majestic palace, whips whipped, jade bells struck, and the thick sound resounded throughout the palace.
In the Xuanzheng Hall, which symbolizes the supreme imperial power of the Yun Kingdom, all the officials in the court bowed their heads and listened to the holy message.
Feng Bao held the imperial edict in his hand and his slightly sharp voice sounded in the Xuanzheng Hall.
"In response to Tianshun's timing, and under the command of Ziming, Emperor Dayun issued an edict:
There are eternal scriptures that are hard to change, and there is no unchangeable governing method. Since ancient times, there have been changes in each generation. That is, the ancestors of our dynasty have established systems according to the times, with many similarities and differences. Since the founding of the country by Taizu Dayun Taizu, there have been
For six hundred years, the system of three public officials and nine ministers has become more and more conspicuous. Official affairs are dealt with by documents without any reality, and talents are restricted by qualifications and are gradually being wasted.
I should eradicate the past, hold on to the middle to control, and choose what is good. Abolish the system of the three public officials, establish the system of nine grades, divide the upright, starting from the eighteenth grade, integrate civil and military affairs. Establish officials, households, rituals, soldiers, and punishments.
, the Sixth Ministry of Industry, are in charge of important matters in the country. Yushitai is in charge of supervision, and Dali Temple is in charge of justice...
Kudos to this!"
In the middle of the court, there are six departments, including Yushitai and Dali Temple. Above the military, there is the Five Army Governor's Office, which is in charge of military affairs together with the Ministry of War. Above the local level, the post of governor is removed, and three divisions are set up to take charge of administration, justice, and military affairs.
After thousands of years of development, represented by the Ming and Qing dynasties, the feudal society was the most complete and the political system that was the product of the pinnacle of imperial power was directly adapted by Xiao Cheng.
The issuance of this imperial edict directly changed the system that had existed for six hundred years since the founding of the Yun State. In the past, the political structure of the Yun State, in which the three public officials and nine ministers were the most respected, and the local governor and governor were the leaders, has since disappeared.
But at this time, all the officials in the court were still respectful and respectful. Although they were surprised by His Majesty's generosity, they were not too caught off guard.
In fact, this imperial edict was not so sudden. After Xiao Cheng took power, he reorganized the ministerial office and established various official positions with more complete responsibilities. All of this was in preparation for the present.
Shangshu Ling Qu Cheng, who had made such a big mistake due to his lax governance, had already resigned from the post of Shangshu Ling. Xiao Cheng took advantage of this opportunity and directly divided the powers of Shangshu Ling among the six ministries and the cabinet.
On the local level, Shen Ruiguang, the governor of the Northern Territory, was captured by Dongchang because his affair was exposed. He was dismissed from his post and sent to prison to await investigation.
The governor only had the power of supervision, but unlike the imperial censor, he had to stay in the local area for a long time. The local government was unable to compete, so the governor gradually became more powerful.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xiao Cheng also acted violently, removed the governor, and established three divisions to divide the powers.
There were also officials from the border army in Jianchang Prefecture. Zhao Yu was eager to perform his merits and used cruel methods. Under severe torture, the case soon came to light.
It was directly revealed that officials with backgrounds in the border army formed cliques for personal gain, pushed forward the government, and various officials such as county lieutenants and county soldier captains were in charge of violent yamen in various places, and had the power to dispatch local soldiers, horses, and servants. This is why they are so bold and dare to look at
The laws of the imperial court are nothing.
If one day you become rebellious, it will be obvious that no one can control it!
At this point, the Five Army Governor's Office, which controlled and dispatched border troops, county soldiers, and local troops stationed in various parts of the Yun Kingdom, also came into being.
All these circumstances left the officials with no excuse to resist.
Under Xiao Cheng's increasingly deepening imperial threat, all the officials were frightened and lacked the courage to oppose.
The most important thing is that they have no need to object. Because all the stakeholders and those who dare to disobey His Majesty have long been swept into the dust.
The remaining officials hope that everything will be settled and that there will be no changes in the central government agencies, so that they will feel at ease.
After reciting the imperial edict, all the officials immediately kowtowed and shouted in unison:
"Your Majesty, long live, long live, long live!"
The sound of mountain calls resounded above the palace, startling all the birds.
At this time, in the sight that is difficult for ordinary people to see, the huge power of luck slowly rises from the Xuanzheng Palace and merges into the colorful auspicious clouds above the sky.
At this moment, the majestic national destiny is like flowers blooming on brocade, and fire cooking oil. The auspicious clouds stretch endlessly, the spirit of the country suddenly turns into dragons and tigers, and the visions of auspicious and precious animals are condensed, showing wonder.
At the same time, half of the body covered with golden dragon scales surged in the clouds and disappeared immediately. A moment later, another section of the golden dragon body was revealed. The looming scales, claws and long beard were particularly solid.
Behind the faint clouds, a pair of golden dragon eyes solidified below. As they turned, they were quite agile. At first glance, they were not phantoms at all, as if they really had intelligence.
On the golden finger panel, a line of fonts appeared.
[The effect of the skill "Destiny is Zhaozhao" is triggered, the force value is +5, the physical value upper limit is +5, the health value upper limit is +5, and the famous official rate is +1%]
Xiao Cheng, who was sitting on the dragon chair, moved his body, showing surprise.
This thing, when written together, has this effect!
-------------------
Liu Bowen, who was wearing a green seventh-grade official uniform, went straight to the top of a high-rise building in Zhongqing City and saw several figures waiting for him again.
The aura of these people upstairs is quite mysterious, and their movements are full of rhythm. At first glance, they are not simple people.
At this time, each of them either had purple light flashing in their eyes, or white light bloomed between their eyebrows, or they were immersed in the surroundings, comprehending the heaven and earth, and they were all looking towards the sky of Zhongqing City in their own way.
After seeing the Yun Kingdom's national destiny, which was as dazzling as the sun and condensed into various strange scenes, these people were all breathing heavily, and their eyes showed a complex look of shock, joy, and confusion.
Liu Bowen looked up at the sky, coughed slightly, interrupted everyone, and said:
"My newly appointed cabinet minister Liu Ji and Liu Bowen would like to pay my respects to you all!"
Everyone was startled by Liu Bowen's voice, and then they came back as if they had just woken up from a dream. After gathering their thoughts, they bowed their heads to Liu Bowen.
"Tantai Hui of the Yin Yang family, who is now the supervisor of the Si Tianjian, has met Mr. Liu!" The middle-aged man wearing a gorgeous Taoist robe was the first to react. He nodded slightly to Liu Bowen and said in a deep voice.
Si Tian Jian is the institution that Xiao Cheng promised to the Yin Yang Family. This middle-aged man named Tantai Hui is the Si Tian Jian supervisor selected by Xu Su.
At this time, everyone was wearing official uniforms and naturally acted according to the rules of the officialdom. Supervisor Si Tianjian, a fourth-rank official, naturally did not need to salute Liu Bowen, a seventh-rank official, when he was walking in the cabinet.
At this time, a man with a honest and simple appearance wearing a plain robe also bowed slightly to Liu Bowen and said:
"Taoist Yu Zhaoqi, now Tianjian Shaojian, has met Mr. Liu!"
The Yin-Yang School and the Taoist School have the same ability. When it comes to observing astronomy, calculating algebra, and predicting weather conditions, although each has its own emphasis, there is no saying that one is superior or the other is inferior.
Therefore, the voices of Taoists are naturally indispensable in this Si Tianjian.
"Confucian Lin Li, who is now Professor Si Tianjian, has met Mr. Liu!" Another young disciple wearing a Confucian robe bowed slightly to Liu Bowen.
As mentioned before, when a hundred schools of thought contended, each school once absorbed the essence of each other's school, integrated what they learned, and constantly improved their own ideas to make progress together.
Among Confucianists, there is also a school of heaven and man that absorbs the essence of Taoism and Yin-Yang school. What they pay attention to is the study of the interaction between heaven and man.
Then several more people were introduced one by one. They were all disciples of prominent schools and had a good background.
Liu Bowen returned the gifts one by one, and then said to everyone:
"You are all disciples of each family who are good at the secret method of luck. I don't need to say more. Your Majesty's decree, what we are studying is how our Dayun country uses the power of national luck. It is related to the prosperity of the country. From now on,
Please also work together to overcome the difficulties!"
When everyone heard this, they all saluted and said in a deep voice:
"I obey!"
Upon hearing this, Liu Bowen raised his head slightly, his expression particularly determined.
Among hundreds of schools, disciples who are good at understanding the movement of heaven and earth and observing the secrets of luck naturally have a big plan.
Xiao Cheng, who had obtained the method of condensing luck from Li Xing, the ancestor of the Li Dynasty, had already felt that Li Xing's method of using luck was too rough.
Absorbing the luck to strengthen one's body has the meaning of draining the lake and catching the fish. Xiao Cheng keenly sensed that there must be a better and more practical way to use the luck of the country.
These people in front of them were selected by Xiao Cheng and led by Liu Bowen, who specialized in studying the methods of using the luck of the country.
"Everyone, let's start!" Liu Bowen said in a deep voice.
"Yes!" everyone responded in unison.
The next moment, there was only a roar, and the stainless steel gate fell instantly under the newly built high-rise building, which was more than ten feet tall.
Countless guards from the sticky pole and Dongchang Fanzi suddenly appeared, completely surrounding the high-rise building. Their murderous look chilled the hearts of anyone who took a peek at this place.
------------------
Xia Kingdom, Jiangyang County.
In the past few days, the camp in Jiangyang County was much more lively than usual. Over the past few days, the sound of war horses neighing could be heard constantly. The generals and generals, with only their own soldiers, returned to the camp from the southwest counties one after another.
The military drums were beating, and a thick and deep muffled sound suddenly sounded, as if it was beating on the hearts of all the soldiers.
This is the sound of beating drums and gathering generals in the army.
In the commander's tent, King Qi was sitting on the commander's seat, his eyes slightly closed, waiting quietly with Feng Chu by his side.
Not long after, a burly general wearing armor quickly walked into the commander's tent, knelt down on one knee in front of King Qi, raised his hands and saluted:
"General Yan Dao of Red Feather Battalion, see the commander-in-chief!"
"Cheng Le'an, the leader of the Pengri camp, meets the commander-in-chief!"
"Guo Kai, the commander of Zhenwu Camp, joins the army as commander!"
…
The army is bound by military law. Since drums are beating to gather generals, no one dares to delay.
Within a moment, all the generals had arrived.
King Qi opened his eyes, sharp edges shot out from his eyes, and he looked around at the generals present.
All the generals bowed their heads in a gesture of submission.
King Qi stood up, with a determined expression and sharp eyes, and shouted:
"With the dignity of a prince, I am stationed in the southwest to prevent and control the plague. However, due to the shortage of supplies, it has been wasted for several months. Now that the supplies have arrived, it is not appropriate to wait any longer. Everyone will obey the order!"
All the generals immediately said in unison:
"I will obey the Commander-in-Chief's orders!"
"Zhenyi Camp's new commander Zhu Dong!" King Qi said sharply.
A general stood up immediately and shouted:
"The end is here!"
"With my commander's military orders, lead the light troops to guard Shaoyang County and escort the delivery of supplies from the imperial court!"
"According to the order!"
"Yan Dao of the Red Feather Camp, orders you to send troops and horses to escort the doctors from the Yun Kingdom and enter Dejiang County to guard it. I will send twenty Confucian scholars. You will fully cooperate to restore order and law in Dejiang County as soon as possible!"
"I will obey my orders!"
"Shi Lan, the commander of Bahu Camp, orders you to go to Xiangzhou County, use supplies as a guide, contact the local militia, and force them to re-submit and accept my rule in Daxia... If you still disobey, you can kill one to serve as a warning to others!" King Qi said with murderous intent.
.
"I will obey the Commander-in-Chief's orders!"
"General Cheng Le'an of the Pengri Camp and General Guo Kai of the Zhenwu Camp! You two have reorganized your troops and prepared for war. When the time is right, you will immediately send troops to Anshun County to clear out the rebels!"
"Please rest assured, Commander, I will definitely live up to the Commander-in-Chief's trust!"
King Qi pursed his lips and looked at Feng Chu beside him.
Feng Chu immediately held up his hands and said in a deep voice:
"Your Highness, please be at ease. I have already dispatched my embroiderers, and I will definitely do my best!"
Use all your strength to compete with the Yun Kingdom for the hearts and minds of the people in the southwest.
King Qi nodded and shouted:
"The Yun Kingdom is watching with eager eyes and must not cause the southwest to continue to be in chaos. The rise and fall of Daxia depends entirely on you!"
"The last general (minister) must die in the service of the country!" Everyone in the tent looked solemn, stood up and shouted loudly.
