The Reborn Lao Tzu Is the Emperor

Chapter 1448 Going to the Kingdom of Wa
For a long time, no one spoke in the hall.

Because they were all dumbfounded by Zhao Dongting's earth-shattering words.

An official is an official, and the people are the people.In this era when the concept of the hierarchy of scholars, farmers, and businessmen still persists, even Zhao Dongting's words made it difficult for the ministers to accept for a while.

Then an official came out and said: "Your Majesty, if this is the case, and the people are above the officials, can the officials still manage the place?"

Zhao Dongting said: "I only give Mingjingtai the right to monitor all officials, and will not give them any other real power. What impact will it have on the officials' governance?"

Another official came out and said, "Your Majesty, what is the difference between the Mirror Tower and the Ministry of Supervision?"

Zhao Dongting said: "Mingjingtai comes from the people, and it will always understand the people's hearts and opinions better than the Ministry of Supervision."

All the officials look at me and I look at you. It can be seen now that the emperor has thought about this matter quite carefully, and it is not just a sudden business.

And this also means that the emperor's holy will has been decided.

Speaking of this, if anyone comes forward again, the emperor will suspect that he has ulterior motives.

As a result, all the officials fell silent again, and even the two people who came out slowly retreated back.

After a while, Lu Xiufu came out and said, "Your Majesty, do the people at Mingjingtai have official positions? Do they have salaries? Who are you going to entrust to be in charge?"

Zhao Dongting replied: "The Mirror of the Mirror Tower is not considered an official, and is directly responsible to me. I will hold a mirror conference every year to listen to public opinion."

When Lu Xiufu heard this, he stopped talking.

Seeing this, Zhao Dongting waved his hands and said, "Since all the lovers have no objection, then this matter is settled like this."

Then he looked at Lu Xiufu, and said: "Decree of the State Council, I will leave it to your Ministry of State to handle the selection of mirrors in various places. Remember, mirrors must be voted by the people, and there is no room for favoritism. Anyone who dares to intervene in this matter will be punished severely!"

"The minister... receives the decree."

Lu Xiufu bowed to Zhao Dongting.

Zhao Dongting got up and walked out of the hall.There is also a Zhanlu sword on his waist, which seems a bit murderous.

All the ministers in the hall noticed this, and they inevitably became thoughtful.

I just don't know what stimulated the emperor to give him such an idea.However, such a move should be useful to Da Song!

And Zhao Dongting, who returned to the bedroom, felt much more relaxed.

He knows that corrupt officials cannot be eradicated, but he imitated the Mingjingtai established by later generations, which should be able to greatly prevent such corrupt officials from appearing.

And even if it does appear, it will definitely be difficult to make it seamless.

In the future, the Song Dynasty will have the four departments of the Ministry of Supervision, the Military Intelligence Department, Skynet, and Mingjingtai alternately supervise. If this is the case, there are still people who can get away with it, it can only be said that they are too capable.

Western Xia.

Li Fanrong, who was appointed as the general manager of Xixia, had arrived in Zhongxing Mansion a month ago.

And the one who arrived right after him was written by Zhao Dongting and signed by Li Xiushu, the edict for Li Zuoxiao to take over as the monarch of Xixia.

This incident caused an uproar in Xixia territory.

No one knew when the empress had such a son, and why she suddenly issued an edict to pass on the throne.

But then Li Fanrong passed on the decree on Li Xiushu's behalf, and re-entrusted the officials of Xixia, which made this matter less important.

After all, these officials also knew that the Empress had already gone to the Song Palace.Emperor Song could get Xixia, but he still allowed Xixia to continue the country and maintain autonomy, which was enough to make them overjoyed.Da Song's help to Xixia, no matter how ruthless and ungrateful people are, they have to admit it.

In addition, there was no objection to Li Fanrong's appointment as the general manager of Xixia.

Li Fanrong came from the Great Song Dynasty, and the Xixia officials also know how prosperous the Great Song Dynasty is now.

Compared with them, Li Fanrong is more capable of developing Xixia better.

Xixia, which is covered in bruises and is in a mess, now needs such officials to govern.What's more, Li Fanrong will definitely get a lot of help from Da Song when he takes the post of chief executive.

This is something Xixia officials are happy to see.

And only half a month after Li Fanrong took office as the chief executive of Xixia, the establishment of the Xixia Forbidden Army also took shape.

Li Fanrong followed Zhao Dongting's method of establishing the imperial army, raised the treatment of the imperial army, and recruited soldiers from the people.

Although the population in Xixia is now sparse, there are still people who want to get ahead and sign up to join the army.

Li Fanrong was worried that military power would change if it fell into the hands of others, so he concurrently served as the chief of military affairs.This did not arouse any objection from those Xixia officials.

After all, Shi Kaiji and others are still leading the Imperial Guards in Shu to stay in Zhongxing Mansion. If anyone dares to disrespect Li Fanrong, it will be no different from courting death.

With the newly dispatched officials from Zhao Dongting also arriving in Xixia, the Xixia court finally took shape again.

In Tubo, the situation is similar.

The king of Tubo was appointed as the king of Tubo. He didn't have any real power in the first place, and he still doesn't have any real power now.

After the officials sent by Zhao Dongting arrived in Luoxie City, with the support of Liu Zhuwen, they quickly took over many positions of real power.

The establishment of the Tubo sub-military region is also in full swing.

Miao Cheng, a veteran who has fought for decades for the Song Dynasty, has become the marshal of the Tubo Military Region, and the Tianwei Army will also become the foundation of the Tubo Military Region.

Although the military division of Tubo cannot be compared with other military divisions in terms of size, the position of marshal is far from being comparable to that of an army commander.

Danba, on the other hand, was appointed deputy marshal.

He was the first to choose to surrender to Da Song, and now he finally got what he deserved.

His appointment gave hope to the old civil servants and generals in Tubo.

Although many important positions in Tubo are now held by officials sent by the imperial court, it seems that the emperor has no intention of not using them.

These people can still have a high status in Tubo.

As a result, the establishment of the Tubo sub-military region went smoothly.

After Miao Cheng and Danba took command, many Tubo soldiers obediently reorganized into the Tubo sub-military region.

With military power in hand, it means that there should be no changes in a short period of time.

A few days after the establishment of the sub-military region, Liu Zhuwen led the five armies including Tiantui and Tianjiu to set off from Luoxie City and return to Dali.

There is no need for them to intervene in the rest, such as the recruitment of defenders from all over the country and government offices.

……

Japanese country.

Letters and imperial edicts from Zhao Dongting have been handed down here one after another.

The first one can be skipped.

Ran Anguo's expression became quite complicated when he saw the imperial edict later.

Even Lu Xiufu and the others knew that this might cause dissatisfaction with Diabolo, and of course he knew the same.

After contemplating for a long time, Ran Anguo ordered his personal guards to invite the diabolo over.

At this time, the diabolo had also healed, and soon appeared in front of Ran Anguo with a spring breeze.

Over the past few days, the lingering poison of the shogunate has gradually been eliminated, the royal faction is back in power, and there are no common people making trouble, so he is naturally in a good mood.

He may not care about the position of the emperor, but of course he still wants to make Wa country better and better.

After seeing Ran Anguo, Diabolo with Mei Qingzi beside him smiled and asked, "Ran Shuai, what do you want from me?"

Ran Anguo only said: "Deputy Commander Kong, you really don't intend to stay in this country?"

Diabolo lightly smiled and said, "I've had a good time in the Dongsha Islands, so why force me to stay here!"

Ran Anguo took out Zhao Dongting's imperial edict, "This is the emperor's imperial edict, you can read it for yourself!"

Diabolo received the imperial decree, his expression changed slightly.

Ran Anguo said in a very timely manner: "I heard that Tubo Kingdom has also surrendered to the emperor, and now it has been downgraded to Tubo Road."

Diabolo was silent for a long time, then sighed, "I know what the emperor means."

There was indeed some resentment in his eyes, some incomprehension, because he never thought that Zhao Dongting asked him to fight the Wa Kingdom, but in the end it would make the Wa Kingdom completely surrender to the Song Dynasty.

So, what is his diabolo?
The... general who laid down the homeland for Song Dynasty?
How would the people in the country see him?

Ran Anguo looked at Diabolo with a complicated expression, and said, "Then what are you going to do?"

This matter, probably even he felt that what Zhao Dongting did was a little out of character.After all, he didn't know how much Zhao Dongting, who had traveled from later generations, had such a dislike for the Wa Kingdom.

Diabolo raised his head and looked at Ran Anguo again, his expression became extremely dignified, "Ran Shuai, do you think that if the Wa Kingdom becomes a vassal, will the people live a better life?"

Ran Anguo said without hesitation: "Your Majesty's achievements are obvious to all. I believe that after Wa Kingdom becomes a vassal, it will surely develop quickly."

"Ugh……"

Diabolo sighed deeply upon hearing this.
