I'm so hard

Chapter 156 Show off your muscles!
As the New Year approached, Changdan City became more and more lively.

Since this year's Great Zhou has crushed Heihan and Northern Mongolia, the national power has become stronger and stronger. In addition to the six surrounding countries, there are also many hidden tribes and families who come to celebrate the new year.

Xiao Jingye, in order to show the atmosphere of a great country in the Great Zhou, specially asked the prefects of the 36 prefectures of the Great Zhou to bring local specialties to Changdan to celebrate the New Year together.

In the afternoon, the sun was shining brightly.

Zhao Yan suddenly came up with a new idea because of the gift from Beimont envoy Ashig, so he summoned the three giants, Xiao Jingye, Yang Xinghuai and Kong Moshan, into the Chuigong Hall.

At this time, Xiao Jingye, Yang Xinghuai, and Kong Moshan were all heroic and heroic, and they were very happy. There was an endless stream of invitations from envoys from various countries, and their mansions were surrounded by water, all of them came to curry favor with them.

What's more, they directly carried several cars of rare gifts or a dozen young beauties, saying that they came to pay New Year's greetings, without asking for anything, leaving a name and leaving, just to make a good impression.

In previous years, the big week was the time when the expenses were the highest, but this year it was a lot of extra income.

Zhao Yan looked at the three of them and asked with a smile, "What do you guys think of my Da Zhou's situation this year?"

Yang Xinghuai said very happily: "This year can be said to be the beginning of my great Zhou's prosperity. The old minister's waist has never been so hard!"

"In the past years, the old minister was always shy in his pockets. To avoid asking for money from the government, he even stayed behind closed doors. But this year, the old man almost walks sideways on the street. Wherever there is a lack of money, as long as it is in line with the rules, the minister will come and go. I can sign it!" Kong Moshan laughed even more from ear to ear.

Xiao Jingye stroked his beard, and sighed: "It's a good year, this year, the weather is good, the country is prosperous and the people are safe, it is really a blessing for the people of my great week!"

Zhao Yan was smiling, and quite satisfied.

I am indeed excellent!
Immediately, Zhao Yan stood up, looked down, and asked again: "If we fight again next year, and the surrounding six countries join forces to besiege my Great Zhou, what do you think our chances of winning are?"

Hearing this, the three giants of the imperial court couldn't help but frowned slightly.

If Northern Mongolia comes to attack next year, even if they have [-] Polu horses, Da Zhou can win a big victory with firearms!

But if the six countries work together, Da Zhou will be overwhelmed.

After all, the six kingdoms are scattered too widely. If they send troops at the same time, it will largely disintegrate the troops of Dazhou, and they will be easily divided and eaten.

The current Great Zhou is not strong enough to be completely unafraid of the siege of the six kingdoms.

Xiao Jingye asked with some doubts: "Your Majesty is worried that the six kingdoms of Northern Mongolia will unite to deal with my Great Zhou when they see my Great Zhou becoming stronger and stronger?"

Zhao Yan nodded slightly, and said, "If I came to Changdan and saw such a prosperous scene, I would also have this kind of thought. What we see is prosperity, and what those special envoys see is crisis!"

"As long as they have a little brains, they will realize that if they don't join forces to attack me, Da Zhou, they will never have another chance!"

"Then...then...then what should we do?" Yang Xinghuai asked, since Zhao Yan summoned them here, he must have made up his mind.

Zhao Yan put his hands behind his back and said, "This year's Great Court Meeting, I'm going to hold a grand military exercise to let these people know that even if they work together, they can't defeat my Great Zhou!"

"Your Majesty, what does your Majesty mean to show all my big Zhou's hole cards at the court meeting?" Yang Xinghuai asked. Except for Zhao Yan, even Xiao Jingye and Kong Moshan didn't know the hole cards he was talking about.

Zhao Yan smiled slightly: "It's a small test! It's time to reveal some of our secret weapons! As for the specific content to be displayed, it's up to you to discuss with Yang Hong and Shen Tuyi!"

"Minister Zunzhi." Yang Xinghuai cupped his hands and said, if those secret weapons were revealed, everyone would definitely be amazed.

After those special envoys saw it, what they felt was not wanting to destroy Da Zhou, but definitely a deep sense of powerlessness and fear.

Then, Zhao Yan looked at Xiao Jingye again, and said, "Xiao Xiang, before the first day, I didn't want to see another undercover agent and spy from another country in Changdan City, including their privately hidden weapons and materials. Especially in Korea. Even if the Black Lagoon organization cannot be completely wiped out, they must be completely driven out."

"I obey the order!" Xiao Jingye nodded emphatically.

In the past two months, he ordered the Ministry of Criminal Justice to investigate spies from foreign countries, and he has achieved quite a lot. Now at the end of the year, it is time to close the net.

Then, Zhao Yan looked at Kong Moshan, who hadn't spoken yet.Kong Moshan smiled and spoke.

"Your Majesty, I understand that we still have to treat foreign envoys like last year. We are responsible for the hot water for the whole day at most." Kong Moshan said with a smile. sharply.

Hearing this, Zhao Yan couldn't help laughing.

Last year, it was because of being too poor, and there were too many bad habits of foreign envoys, and Zhao Yan lived too comfortably in the Great Zhou, so Zhao Yan made this decision. Damage to the majesty of the great country!
Zhao Yan shook his head slightly, and said: "This year, we can be more generous and treat the special envoys of various countries according to the specifications of the prefects. However, the soldiers guarding foreign envoys must choose the most dignified and stern , let those people feel the pressure!"

"I obey!" Kong Moshan also said, cupping his hands.

"In addition, I would also like to express my thoughts to Yu Shitai implicitly. The end of the year is approaching. If the Shangguan is not happy, I will tell the Yushi below to take a rest and stop playing hard. Let everyone have a good year!"

"Ha ha……"

Hearing this, the three giants of the imperial court couldn't help laughing out loud.

At the end of each year, Zhao Yan's dragon case is basically the stage of Yushitai, because many officials have exposed each other, and the people's complaints will be spread to Yushitai.

But some things are goofy little things.

such as:

A certain minister violated the etiquette and married a concubine who was once very famous in the Goulan house.

A certain Zhizhou let his distant nephew rely on his relationship to enter the well-off Yamen.

Two court officials got into a fight in a brothel because of drinking, and they beat each other black and blue.

There is also a local magistrate who wrote poems satirizing the bureaucratic system and etiquette of the imperial court because of his frustration.

Etc., etc……

In fact, these matters can be handed over to the Ministry of Criminal Justice, but when it comes to Yushitai, it becomes a big matter that must be heard by Datian.

Zhao Yan was never tired of being annoyed by these things, but Shangguan Wuyue led a group of censors and did it happily.

Some officials were terrified every day, and fled in a hurry when they saw Shangguan's displeasure, as if they had met their nemesis.

The imperial court really needs upright courtiers like Shangguan Buyue, but it also needs some slick courtiers to solve some special things that are not easy to solve.

The reason why Zhao Yan didn't directly tell Shangguan that he was unhappy was because he was afraid that the latter would think too much and think that he was incompetent.

After all, this person is indeed a little narrow-minded sometimes.
