Prime Minister take care

Chapter 436 Disrespectful
When the [-] Imperial Guards from the Shu Palace moved into Haojing's palace with their chamberlains and maids, the palace that had been dusty for a long time finally regained its former glory.

But for Xia, they were quite contradictory.When they entered this former capital city and the foundation of the Xia family, they found that everything was different.Even more unfamiliar than they were in the court of Shu.

Nowadays, the common people in the world only know the Prime Minister of the Great Zhou Dynasty, but they have no idea that they, the Xia clan, were the former masters of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

"I will pay my respects to the Emperor!"

Above the court, Xia Gongni, who was wearing twelve chapters and a glazed crown, was sitting on the broad throne.Perhaps because he had swallowed the Demon Emperor's demon seed, Xia Gongni matured earlier than his peers, and his body developed faster. He looked like a clothes hanger and looked good on any clothes he wore.

All officials wore court uniforms, except Yang Xian.He stood at the front of the court column. Compared with the old men in the court, he was too young.

"Get up!"

A crisp voice resounded throughout the court, and Xia Gongnie waved slightly, looking very steady.

"I have something to report!"

The courtier who came out was named Xia Jieshu, he was the commander of the [-] forbidden army, and he was also a member of the Xia Clan's clan. He looked about thirty years old, but his face was full of edges and corners.

"What's the matter?"

Xia Gongnie's voice was not as agile as before. On the contrary, it seemed a bit rigid due to the deliberate suppression, but it was very suitable for this court.

"Thanks to the emperor's virtue, Liang Ni was wiped out. However, Haojing City is the western capital of our Great Zhou Dynasty, and the vastness of the palace city is not comparable to that of Xian City. Thirty thousand forbidden troops may not be enough to protect the emperor's residence. Please expand the forbidden army! "

There was a rustling sound in the court hall. It was obvious that Xia Jieshu's behavior was a little unusual.The emperor has not yet been in charge, and now all military affairs are handled by the prime minister's office.

Nowadays, the Zhou army in Yongzhou is expanding its army, whether it is the Changce army, the Zhechong army, or the Heihu army guarding Cangqiu.Zhou Jun was digesting the fruits of victory in the war, and made great moves in military affairs and people's livelihood.

There is nothing wrong with the expansion of the Forbidden Army, but the Prime Minister's Office did not reveal anything about it beforehand, which is really unreasonable.

What is more likely is that this matter did not go through the Prime Minister's Office beforehand.But Xia deliberately wanted to bypass the Prime Minister's Mansion and make the final decision in the court to make things happen.

This can be said to be the Xia family's challenge to the Prime Minister's Mansion, because it was Yang Xian who controlled the political affairs of the Shu Kingdom in the past, but there was one piece that remained untouched after all, and that was the [-] forbidden troops belonging to the Xia family in Suwei Shu Palace.

Chang Yu smiled slightly in his heart, but remained silent. He stood in front of the courtiers' queue and remained silent.This is an internal contradiction within the Zhou Dynasty, and it is also an irreconcilable contradiction, and it may become more intense in the future.

In Xia Jieshu's view, he was protecting the emperor's might and virtue and protecting the Xia family's last position.Even if Yang Xian really has evil intentions in the future, they will not have no room to resist.

But in Xia Gongnie's view, it was completely different.

"Expand the army! How much do you want to expand it?"

"According to my estimation, expanding to 7 people can adequately protect the imperial city."

Xia Jieshu didn't dare to speak harshly, and gave a conservative figure.In fact, he wanted to say a hundred thousand.Even if possible, he wanted to say as much as possible.

The greater the number of forbidden troops, the more secure the Xia family will feel.

"7 people!"

Xia Gongnie exclaimed, her little eyes widening.

Yang Xian was very familiar with this sound. It was the sound of an iron rooster about to be plucked.

Nowadays, the finances of the Great Zhou Dynasty go through the Prime Minister's Palace, but in order to maintain the loyalty of the Imperial Army to the Xia family, this military expenditure is borne by the Xia family themselves.

In other words, these [-] forbidden troops were raised by the Xia family themselves.To be precise, a considerable part of it was paid from Xia Gongnie's personal treasury.Yang Xian only has the right to supervise this internal treasury, but has no right to use it.

Once the number of the Forbidden Army increases to [-], it will be equivalent to Xia Gong Nie's small inner treasury having to pay more than double the funds.

"My beloved, you are very worried. However, the situation is not stable and the government is in short supply. It is better for the palace guards to recruit the long-term sergeants from outside the city to fill in!"

Xia Gongnie was very big-hearted and didn't care at all.In her opinion, allowing Chang Cejun to enter the palace guard not only saves money, but is also very convenient.

But it doesn't mean that Xia is as big-hearted as she is.

Just kidding, if Yang Xian's soldiers are allowed to enter the palace, it would be better not to expand the army and just leave it alone.

It would have been better if Xia Gong had not said anything. As soon as he said this, a large number of courtiers came out of the court, most of them were officials of the Xia family.

They gave all kinds of reasons, some said that the Changce Army had a heavy responsibility, some said that the Changce Army was not good at guard defense, and some even said that the palace was sacred, and that the Changce Army should not enter if they were bloody.

All in all, Xia family officials tried their best to prove from various angles and denied the idea of ​​Xia Gong Nirvana.

At the end of the story, Xia Gongnie became a little impatient. She looked at Yang Xian, a little anxious.

Xiangfu, please say something!I can't stand it anymore!

Yang Xian, who had been silent for the whole time, came out and said, "The palace guards are very heavy. Thirty thousand forbidden troops alone are not enough to bear it. This is exactly what General Huben said. Huan Ni stole people's wealth and now he has escaped. There is a large area in the south of the city." There is no owner of the fertile land. I suggest that this be transferred to the inner court treasury and used to support the imperial army. As for the selection of the imperial army, the sons of good families in Guan Shu can be selected to serve. The number of the imperial army is set at about [-]."

ah!Don’t I need to pay?

After hearing Yang Xian's words, Xia Gongni suddenly became enlightened, and nodded cooperatively.

"What the father said is true, just follow what the father said!"

All the Xia family's courtiers were full of suspicions. Instead of objecting, Yang Xian offered money to help them?
Naturally, Yang Xian didn't do this because he wanted to compromise with Xia. He knew very well what Xia had in mind.But I also know that Xia Jieshu is right. It is indeed difficult to protect the huge Haojing Imperial City with only [-] forbidden troops.

"If nothing happens, just retreat!"

Xia Gongnie waved her little hand, stood up from the throne, and walked to the side.

The courtiers exited Longxing Hall one after another. Chang Yu just wanted to go out, but was stopped by a voice.

"Master Taifu, after so many years, I never thought I would see you again!"

Chang Yu turned his head and looked aside.

"It's Jian Changshi!"

Jian Changshi came over. He couldn't express how much he liked this elder of the Great Zhou Dynasty. On the contrary, he was very afraid of him.But at this moment, the Xia family became in danger under Yang Xian's hands, and he had to find ways to gather strength.

And Chang Yu is a person worth winning over.

"We haven't seen you for many years. Let's make a date. Master Taifu, would you like to have a drink with me?"

"But it's disrespectful!"

Chang Yu didn't object, and there was no need to object, they each smiled and walked towards each other.
