Li Zhen said: "Dean Zhao, it's not easy to establish your authority."
Zhao Liewen smiled and said: "President, please don't make fun of me. Now, I can't be called the dean. You should call me by my first name. As for the establishment of authority you mentioned, it is not that easy to implement it."
Li Zhenyi rolled his eyes and said: "Isn't this easy? There are so many provinces in the country. Wouldn't you send people to search for any corrupt officials in a certain place or officials who have committed particularly serious crimes? Once confirmed, arrest them immediately. We must keep on investigating, starting from officials as small as sesame seeds, and gradually going up. In this era, not many officials are innocent. When the time comes, all officials involved in corruption will be arrested and punished, and no one will be left alive."
After a pause, Li Zhen continued: "In addition, you can find Li Shanlan of Jiuzhou Daily in Guangzhou and ask him to publicize it for you and gradually establish the prestige of the Supreme Court. Then, build courts one level at a time and establish Assume the authority of the Supreme Court.”
Zhao Liewen rolled his eyes and said: "President is wise, I immediately understood your point. However, to have executive power, we also need the support of the military. Most of the current officials have real power. They not only control the government, but also It will be difficult for us to control military power without the support of the military."
Li Zhen said: "Dean Zhao, you are deliberately setting a trap. Let me mobilize my troops."
With Zhao Liewen's ability, Li Zhen didn't believe that Zhao Liewen couldn't think of a way to kill someone and establish his authority.
As a result, he must want Li Zhen to send troops.
Zhao Liewen said firmly: "No, I definitely don't have this idea. I really ask the president for help."
Li Zhen waved his hand and said: "I don't care what you think. I will give you soldiers. I will give you Lu Shaochuan. A division under this guy has combat effectiveness. With the strength of a division, no matter which province it is." , enough for you to walk sideways."
Zhao Liewen said with a smile: "Okay, thank you very much, President."
As soon as Li Zhen waved his hand, Zhao Liewen turned around and left.
…
Vietnam, Hanoi.
This is the capital of the Ruan Dynasty, and at this moment, there is already a sea of fire.
Outside the palace, a tall man was leading an army to attack.
This man is tall and tall, with an extraordinary martial prowess, a red face, and a long beard that sways with the breeze. The situation is quite reminiscent of the second master. This man is none other than Xi Changzhen, who once fled from Guangxi to Vietnam.
In this campaign, Xi Changzhen led his army to attack Hanoi.
As for Xi Yinglong, he was the commander-in-chief of the army, commanding the rear army. Xi Changzhen stroked his long beard under his chin, suddenly opened his slightly squinted eyes, and shouted: "The city gate is open, kill."
When these words were shouted, the city gate collapsed.
Countless soldiers rushed into the city.
The army of the Nguyen Dynasty faced the attack of Xi Changzhen's army and was unable to resist and could only retreat steadily.
The city was in chaos, and people in the palace were in panic.
In the palace, the current emperor of the Ruan Dynasty got the news and looked mournful. He waved the soldiers to leave and sat alone in the main hall. At this time, a eunuch walked in and said softly: "Your Majesty, Xi Yinglong's army entered the city. , If we break out now, it's still too late, but if it's later, it will be dangerous, so retreat, let's evacuate quickly."
The emperor shook his head and said: "I am the emperor and cannot withdraw."
The eunuch suddenly became anxious and said seriously: "You can leave the green mountains without worrying about having firewood. If you don't leave now and wait another half hour or an hour, I'm afraid I won't be able to get rid of Xi Yinglong's army if I want to leave by then. Please, Your Majesty, think twice."
The emperor said seriously: "I have considered it very clearly. If I escape now, Xi Yinglong will definitely pursue me. With our strength, it is impossible to escape, and I will definitely die in the end. Therefore, instead of leaving, it is better to stay and guard." The palace, this is a good burial place."
The eunuch said solemnly: "Your Majesty, if you don't escape, there is no hope at all. You can only wait for death in the palace. If you escape, there is still a glimmer of hope. You are the king of a country, so you cannot give up."
The emperor said: "No, that's not what you think about. Doing what you do will lead to a dead end."
After a pause, the emperor continued: "For the future of the Ruan dynasty, only if I make sacrifices can I have a chance. Bring the young prince and the imperial sister immediately. I have something to tell you."
"yes."
The eunuch vaguely guessed what was going on, and immediately went to convey the order without refuting.
Not long after, a sixteen-year-old girl walked in.
This girl is tall, has a delicate appearance, and has a pair of big watery eyes, like a clear spring. This person is the emperor's sister Ruan Lele. She is holding a boy of about four years old. That is Ruan Mingde, the prince of the Ruan Dynasty. Ruan Lele After seeing the emperor, he saluted and said: "Brother, the thieves have entered the city. We must avoid it quickly. If it takes a long time, we will not be able to escape."
The emperor shook his head and said: "Lele, my brother is staying in the palace and will not leave. The people who want to leave are you and Mingde."
After a pause, the emperor looked at the eunuch and said: "General Manager, I will leave the imperial sister and the prince to you, take them out of the city, and then go north to Liu Taiping, an official of the Qing Dynasty who is stationed in Guangxi. The Qing Dynasty and Xi Yinglong are enemies, and they are the only ones who send troops. Only by annihilating Xi Yinglong can we establish the crown prince as emperor again and re-establish the Ruan dynasty. I will leave this matter to you, I will attract the rebel army, and you will leave immediately."
"Your Majesty, not allowed."
The eunuch suddenly became anxious and shook his head repeatedly.
Ruan Lele and the young prince objected loudly. The emperor had already made up his mind and would not change it. The emperor ordered, and the eunuch took Ruan Lele and the young prince away, who were crying and choking, and soon disappeared into the palace.
…
Guangxi, Fuya.
Liu Taiping had received news from the north that Li Zhen had changed his country's title and had been ordered to cut off his pigtails. As Li Zhen's subordinate, Liu Taiping naturally supported him unconditionally and cut off his pigtails to become the current one. Short hair, but after Liu Taiping issued the order, the army and people have not really accepted it.
Therefore, Liu Taiping was busy dealing with hair cutting matters.
"Bang, bang,."
A knock on the door sounded outside the study.
Liu Taiping raised his head and shouted: "Come in."
The soldier who reported the news came in, saluted Liu Taiping, and said: "Sir, the news from Vietnam has been returned. Not long ago, Xi Yinglong and Xi Changzhen led the army to completely capture Hanoi, the capital of Vietnam, and Xi Yinglong entered Hanoi. Later, he killed the Vietnamese emperor and dominated Vietnam."
Liu Taiping raised his eyebrows and asked, "Is there no one left from the royal family?"
The soldier said: "Although the emperor is dead, he still has options. At this time, the Vietnamese princess Ruan Lele and the Vietnamese prince Ruan Mingde entered Guangxi and have already arrived at Wuzhou Prefecture."
Liu Taiping said: "Okay, inform Ye Chengzhong, the magistrate of Wuzhou Prefecture, and ask him to bring Ruan Lele and Ruan Mingde to my side."
