Heavenly Desolation Immortal Court

Chapter 91 Kyoto trivia (3)

The morning sun shines with thousands of brilliance, shining on the capital of Tianhuang Principality, and the warm sunshine shines on people's bodies, which is warm and comfortable.

Civil and military officials of the Principality of Tianhuang rushed to the palace to participate in the early court under the warm spring sunshine. The time of the early court in Tianhuang was changed after Qin Hengtian took office, and the officials never There is no need to get up at three or four in the morning to go to court.

In the Palace of Political Affairs, all the ministers from Tianhuang gathered together, discussing the war between their country and the Qilingzong passionately, and the atmosphere was very enthusiastic.The battle report between Lie Shanzong, Zhujianzong and Ming Luozong has been sent back to Kyoto. Everyone knows that Tianhuang Principality has won the battle again. The six major sect forces that came to offend have been completely destroyed. Now Their cities, population, and rare resources have all been taken over by their own army.

Such a great happy event made all the people in Tianhuang feel proud and proud from the bottom of their hearts. The military officials in North Korea and Chinese are even more energetic and full of pride. They have performed extremely well recently. Everyone hopes that I can use this prosperous age to make a career, and hope to leave a name in history in the future.

Just as they were having a heated chat, the morning bell began to ring. Unlike the recent few days when it was only rung once, this time the bell was rung three times, and the sound spread far from the Yizheng Hall , The bell was so loud that it resounded throughout the palace.

All the ministers and officials in the hall were stunned at first, but then they thought about the meaning of the number of times the bell rang. They immediately stood up in awe, moved quickly with excited expressions, divided into two rows neatly and orderly, and stood upright. , with her chest up and her abdomen in, a look ready to accept the review of her country's lord anytime, anywhere.

Because there is a clear stipulation in the Tianhuang New Law that when the bell rings, it is the time for the start of the political discussion, and the number of times the bell rings represents the identity of the person in charge of the political discussion. The voice indicated that the early dynasty's political discussions were personally conducted by the lord Qin Hengtian.

In the past few days, due to the personal conquest by the king, the bell rang every morning for the morning court discussions, and then the cabinet ministers presided over the deliberation meeting, but now the bell rang three times, so the person who presides over the early court today can only be a wild card The supreme ruler of the principality came in person.

Sure enough, after three bells, I heard the crisp voice of the court servant Xiao Yan outside the political hall, "The Lord is in the morning, and all the officials are present." Immediately afterwards, he saw the king wearing a purple and gold costume and a crown on his head. Qin Hengtian, who was wearing gold silk rusty dragon shoes, stepped into the Palace of Political Affairs with great strides.

Civil and military officials made false declarations with respectful hands, bowed their bodies, lowered their heads and shouted, "See the Lord, may the Lord be safe."
Qin Hengtian led Xiao Yan through the center of the group of officials, walked straight to the throne of the king, turned around with his sleeves thrown, and said loudly, "Everyone, get up." After speaking, he immediately sat down.

"Thank you, Lord!" Baiguan stood up straight with excitement, and with awe, looked at Qin Hengtian, the king of Tianhuang, who was sitting on the throne of the king, with incomparably fanatical eyes.

Qin Hengtian was uncomfortable being watched by the officials below, he hummed and asked, "During the days when the deity is not in the capital, have there been any major events in the country?"
"I report to the lord that nothing major has happened, but I really don't understand why you suddenly returned to Beijing, lord. I don't know how the war between our country and the Qilingzong is going now, has it won?" Zhuge Liang said Listed the report, and at the same time asked the question that the court officials most wanted to ask at the moment.

Qin Hengtian's sudden appearance in the capital really confuses all the officials present, because he is the imperial driver himself, so now he should be leading the army to fight the Seven Spirits Sect, but now he appears in the Palace of Political Affairs However, none of the generals who went on the expedition saw any of them. Only Zhang Liang, Guo Jia and other four advisers followed him to court. In the hall, only cabinet ministers can directly inquire without punishment.

Qin Hengtian was in a very good mood, and said with a slight smile, "Zhang Liang, come and tell everyone the good news."
Good news, those who can stand in the court hall are not fools. When they heard this, their hearts suddenly became active, and they all became a little excited. They all stared at Zhang Liang, wanting to know immediately whether the good news he announced was as good as their own. I have the same thought in my heart.

I saw Zhang Liang slowly coming out of the line, and said with a calm expression, "The fact is as you have guessed in your heart. The Seven Spirits were defeated by us. They have already chosen to submit to us. We have won this battle." !"
"We have won, we have really won, oh... long live, long live the king, long live the sky!" Such a big happy news immediately made all the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty excited, and everyone cheered regardless of their appearance.

It is true that since the Tianhuang Principality declared war with the Seven Spirits Sect, the enemy gathered surrounding forces, sent tens of millions of soldiers and directly came to suppress the territory, making the atmosphere in the country extremely depressing. Except for Qin Hengtian and the summoned Chinese sages In addition to being full of confidence, the rest of the people, from the officials to the common people, are all pessimistic.

Because Qilingzong has always been an old-fashioned middle-grade sect with a profound foundation, and Tianhuang Principality is still in its infancy after all, the people's self-confidence is still not strong enough, and they lack the determination to win. Strength remains skeptical.

In addition, some remnants of the Yin Sha Sect and the Black Wind Sect are secretly advocating and infinitely amplifying the strength of the Seven Spirits Sect. While demoting Tianhuang to a vulnerable point, they spread rumors everywhere, saying that all surrounding forces have also joined In the camp against Tianhuang Principality, Tianhuang is isolated and helpless in Dongxuan Island, and the country will perish in a short time, which makes the people panic even more.

Fortunately, many cabinet ministers in Kyoto personally presided over the overall situation and stabilized the people's hearts. This did not cause turmoil. Then the millions of troops from surrounding forces such as Gale Fengzong, Zhujianzong, and Ming Luozong were defeated one by one by Tianhuang's army, and the six major forces were finally completely defeated. Destroyed, the news of Ming Luozong and other sects returning to Tianhuang was sent back to the country, and the situation finally stabilized, but everyone was still extremely concerned about the war against Qilingzong, because only defeating Qilingzong can be regarded as a real battle. to win.

So now when he suddenly heard that Tianhuang had won the final victory, and the big stone that had been suppressed in Baiguan's heart was finally released, he was suddenly overjoyed, and everyone cheered and laughed heartily.

After they cheered and jumped for a while, the mood of the officials gradually calmed down, and Qin Hengtian began to formally discuss the court, "During the few days when I went to war, did the cabinet discuss all the reform plans?"
Guan Zhong, the chief assistant of the cabinet, came out first, and bowed and said, "I would like to report to the lord, we have already drafted a specific reform plan, and we are waiting for your review and approval, the lord!"

"Well, let me submit it first, and I will personally review it after the morning court. Now that the territory of our country has expanded by tens of thousands of miles, and thousands of cities have been added, have all the city lords who went to various places be selected?" Qin Hengtian clicked. Nodding, then asked again.

This time it was the cabinet minister Xiao He who came out to reply, "Reporting to the lord, the city lords of the four counties of Yinsha County, Heifeng County, Liufeng County and Jinlang County have all been selected, and we are waiting for your approval, the lord. "
"As for the officials who will go to the cities where the Gale Wind Sect, the Bamboo Sword Sect, etc. are located, and the city where the Seven Spirit Sects are located, the selection process has not yet started because the time is too short."
Qin Hengtian thought about it for a while, and gave a solution, "The list you made earlier will be submitted directly at that time, um... Golden Wolf County will be a military center from now on, and it will be directly under the unified management of the military department. The location of the Bamboo Sword Sect and other six sects will be renamed Lieshan County in the future. All the city masters who are arranged to go to Jinlang County will be transferred to Lieshan County. The Qilingzong will be renamed Qiling County. ..."
"Your cabinet will organize a talent recruitment contest. All the citizens of the wild frontier who think they are talented can come to participate. Once they pass the assessment and are selected, they can take office immediately."
After thinking for a while, he then added, "This matter will be presided over by Guan Zhong, the chief assistant of the cabinet, and assisted by the rest of the cabinet ministers. We must strictly control it. Anyone who pretends to be a fake will be eliminated. I only want to be truly talented and willing to do practical things for the people." Do the wise men understand?"

"Your orders!" Guan Zhong, Zhuge Liang, Zhang Juzheng and other cabinet ministers all bowed and responded loudly.

Then Qin Hengtian directly called out his name and said, "Zhuge Liang."
"The minister is here!" Zhuge Liang hurriedly stepped out and replied with a bow.

"The deity wants you to improve the assault spirit crossbow, try to make it possible to fire the spirit crossbow repeatedly, have you completed it?" Qin Hengtian asked with great concern.

Zhuge Liang replied cautiously, "Currently, we can only fire three arrows in succession, which may not meet the requirements of the king."
Qin Hengtian lightly tapped the throne with his finger, and said slowly, "Continue to study, it is best to be able to shoot ten arrows in succession, I specially recruited ten apprentices and a master forging for you, I believe it will be beneficial to you." help."
"Thank you, my lord, I will definitely develop the ten-link crossbow as soon as possible." Zhuge Liang said happily.

Qin Hengtian called out his name again and said, "Xiao He!"
"The minister is here." Xiao He bowed and stepped out.

"I have recruited ten alchemy apprentices and one alchemy master for you, and all the alchemy that has been refined will be handed over to you for safekeeping. You must take care of the logistics for me, understand!" Qin Hengtian said with a serious expression .

"Your Majesty, don't worry, I am the best at managing the country's logistics. In the future, no matter if you need military supplies or food and salaries, you can just look for me." Xiao He said confidently.

Qin Hengtian "..."
In the following time, Qin Hengtian inquired about other situations in the country respectively, and made a final decision. Time flew by like this, and the court meeting proceeded to the end in an orderly manner.

Qin Hengtian basically handled all the matters that the lord of the country personally handled, and the rest was to be executed. These matters can be completely handed over to the cabinet. Yan nodded slightly.

Xiaoyan, who was always by his side and knew him best, suddenly understood, took a small step forward, and said in a crisp voice, "If there is something to play, there is nothing to retreat."
Just when the ministers were about to bow and salute and leave the court, a palace guard reported outside the Palace of Political Affairs, "A message to the lord, envoys from Chiyan Principality, Xuanlingzong, and Qianyu Principality came to see the lord."
Qin Hengtian let out a cry of surprise, looked at Zhang Liang and other counselors at the bottom of the main hall, and said, "It's really as you said, you came to the door so soon."
Zhang Liang smiled, and said confidently, "It seems that these envoys have been waiting near the palace gate, and they also know something about our country's new policies, so they can know the number of times the bell rings." The king has returned to the court and personally presided over the news of the early court deliberations."
Guo Jia's eyes flashed, and he said in a concentrated voice, "It seems that they are very eager, and I am afraid that they are impatient to attack Ling Jianzong. That's right, the so-called soldiers are precious and fast, but this time the envoys of their three families came together. It may have come to force us to make a final statement."
Jia Xu added in a deep voice, "If we don't agree to their request, they will most likely turn their backs immediately. When the troops turn around, the three families will join forces to get rid of us first. Those who come are not kind."
Qin Hengtian snorted coldly, and pressed his hands heavily on the desk in front of him, "Let them in, it just so happens that the deity also wants to see what price they can offer, let me express my opinion! I want to see if they want me Do not interfere, or intend to force the country to join the camp between them!"
Xiao Yan shouted crisply, "Xuan!"
