Dynasty Conquest

Chapter 461 The Reform Is Obstructed
The black-clothed cavalry of the Supervision Office galloped across the mountains and rivers, bringing the good news of the new emperor's enthronement to every corner of the Far Eastern Dynasty. Whether it was a prosperous and rich city or a majestic frontier, you could see the messenger from Wang Jing.

When the new emperor came to the throne, some people rejoiced and some people frowned, but no matter what, Emperor Long Han has become the new master of this land.

Just as officials from all over the country were immersed in the joy of the new emperor's enthronement, officials from Wangjing's Supervision Office had already stationed in various provinces, and a drastic reform began immediately.

In just one week, the governors of several provinces next to Gyeonggi Province were changed, three were dismissed, two were killed directly in the Governor's Mansion, and countless officials were dismissed.

When Long Han dismissed and killed those local provincial governors and officials, a large number of officials from humble backgrounds were exceptionally promoted and became fresh blood, filling vacant positions.

Most of these officials from poor families have worked hard at the grassroots level for many years, and they have a good understanding of the national conditions and people's livelihood, and because they have been at the grassroots level all year round, they have rich work experience.

Originally, they had no hope of continuing to be promoted in this life, because the middle and upper-level officials were all controlled by the nobles, but when Long Han became the queen, the middle and upper-level officials were exchanged.

These officials from humble backgrounds were exceptionally promoted and held various important positions. With a heart of gratitude to Emperor Longhan, they quickly entered the working state, appeased the people, and quickly stabilized the turbulent situation caused by the government reform.

Long Han's actions have greatly violated the interests of the nobles. They used to be the heads of bureaucracies at all levels, and they can continue to seek benefits for the family.

But now they are suddenly dismissed by Emperor Longhan or put into prison directly, and replaced by poor officials who they despised before, which makes these nobles very dissatisfied with Emperor Longhan.

"Long Han's kid is too deceitful!" A deposed provincial governor yelled at Long Han.

The emperor of the Far East Dynasty had always relied on the support of the nobles to barely maintain the rule of the Far East Dynasty, but now Long Han wanted to change this situation, and needed to rely on the people at the bottom instead of these blood-sucking nobles.

"Protest, we want to resign." In order to protest Long Han's reform, many officials threatened to resign collectively in an attempt to force Long Han to compromise.

However, Emperor Long Han has already made up his mind to reform, so how could he give up halfway because of the collective threat of resignation from the officials.

For these officials who were clamoring to resign, Long Han smiled and directly approved their resignation. Before these officials could react, officials from poor families had already filled the vacancies.

These aristocratic officials were suddenly dumbfounded. They didn't expect that they would shoot themselves in the foot, lose their official positions, and have no way to make money anymore. They were furious and scolded the emperor Long Han all day long.

Long Han had disliked these mediocre and corrupt officials for a long time, and was trying to find a way to get them dismissed, but he didn't expect that they would jump out and threaten him with resignation.

In the face of Emperor Longhan's menacing reform actions, those big nobles whose interests had been violated did not jump up and down like the little nobles, but were surprisingly calm.

"Don't be impatient, let him toss around. It's just a child's play. When he has had enough tossing, he will naturally come and beg us to come out and clean up the mess." The big nobles looked very calm. , the reform of Emperor Longhan was simply regarded as a farce.

After all, in the past hundreds of years, the emperor was able to sit in that position safely, all relying on the support of the nobles. If the support of the nobles was lost, it would be like a castle built in the air, which might collapse at any time.

The nobles had money and food, which was their biggest reliance. Now that the entire Far Eastern dynasty was in turmoil, Long Han wanted to secure his position as emperor, and he had to get the support of the nobles to feed the army and provide porridge for disaster relief.

Compared with the calmness of those big nobles, officials from small and medium nobles are panicked. They are not as rich and powerful as the big nobles. Losing their official positions will kill them.

The reforms were in full swing, burning like a wildfire throughout the Far Eastern dynasty, and the previously unknown Supervisory Office became the nightmare of officials for a while.

Wherever the officials of the Supervision Office appear, there are always nobles and officials who are unlucky. The officials are terrified, for fear that the officials of the Supervision Office will find themselves.

Compared with the trembling and panic of the officials, the people in the Far Eastern Dynasty are very supportive of these Supervision Office officials. Wherever the Supervision Office goes, the people must be full of people, lined up to greet them.

The officials of the Office of Supervision did not disappoint the expectations of the people. Wherever they went, the originally corrupt government offices were immediately cleared up. Those local ruffians, bullies, and corrupt officials all became their ghosts.

"Your Majesty, I have good news and bad news, which one do you want to hear?" Inside the imperial city, Lin Chuan, the head of the Supervision Office in charge of reform operations, spoke to Emperor Long Han with two reports.

Although the emperor Long Han came to the throne not long ago, he already has the power of the emperor at this moment. Because the reform is going smoothly, he is now in a very happy mood.

"Brother, don't be foolish, let's talk about it together." Emperor Long Han said with a smile.

Lin Chuan shook his head helplessly: "The good news is that now we have controlled the military and political power in 32 provinces, and all important positions have been replaced by trustworthy people."

Hearing Lin Chuan's words, the smile on Long Han's face grew stronger: "Brother, your Supervision Office has contributed a lot. Whatever reward you want, as long as I can give it, I will give it to you."

Lin Chuan smiled, and did not ask for a reward. Now he is in charge of the Supervision Office and carries out reform tasks. It can be said that he is a powerful figure in the entire Far Eastern Dynasty. If he wants to reward him again, he really has no self-knowledge .

Lin Chuan paused and said, "Your Majesty, you should hear the bad news first."

Emperor Long Han recovered from his excitement: "Speak, I will listen."

"Our Office of Supervision has just received news that Rain King Longjing killed our supervisor in the province of Silia, and openly opposed His Majesty's reforms under the banner of the Qing Dynasty."

"Hmph, my uncle's brain must be rusted, so he doesn't know what to do." Long Han's smile froze, and then he snorted coldly: "I haven't touched him yet, but he did it first."

"Your Majesty, there are quite a few people who support the Rain King, including fifteen great nobles, and the governors of twelve provinces in the south... They unanimously demand that the Qing emperor side, abolish the reform."

Hearing that King Rain had received the support of twelve provinces within a short period of time, the excited Long Han suddenly became flustered. After all, he was too young and not calm enough.

"Brother, what should we do?" Long Han hurriedly asked Lin Chuan.
