Xian Dynasty Era

Chapter 133
In Yuhua Palace, there was a moment of silence.

Su Zijin smiled politely at the silver-haired girl, and turned her slender eyes to Su Zhao, roughly meaning that this little girl with white hair, where did she come from?
Su Zhaoqing coughed, and said: "Sister, this is An An, you don't need to pay attention to her, she is just a little girl."

Su Zijin frowned, obviously not believing Su Zhao's words at all, so she raised her eyes to look at Wei Xiangge.

Wei Xiangge gave a helpless look, picked up the bamboo chopsticks at the side, and started to eat.

"You can eat too, Sister Zijin." An An raised her delicate baby face with a chicken tenderloin sandwiched between her, as if she didn't notice the strange atmosphere, her eyebrows and eyes were curved, she seemed to be really an ignorant and cute, uninitiated Personnel girl.

Su Zhao nodded and said, "Let's all have dinner."

This dinner was spent in An An's familiar atmosphere, and Su Zijin kept talking, but she didn't neglect the silver-haired girl.

After dinner, Su Zijin left Wei Xiangge to talk alone, while Su Zhao and An Bo left the Yuhua Palace, and the two of them walked in the winding and dimly lit corridor.

"My performance just now was okay, I didn't make trouble for you." An An grabbed Su Zhao's arm, raised a beautiful baby face, and looked like she was about to praise me.

Su Zhao was silent for a while, then said, "I think... you should make trouble."

An An's face froze, and he said bitterly, "What do you mean?"

Su Zhao smiled and said: "It's nothing, my elder sister likes to be quiet, you were too noisy just now by chattering, if you can just sit there quietly, it might be better."

When An An heard this, her innocent baby face was full of annoyance, and she said, "Then what should we do now?"

Su Zhao rubbed the girl's bangs and said, "It's okay, it's fine to be yourself."

"Well, your family still has a lot of rules." An An said helplessly.

After talking, the two returned to the Manna Hall.

"You want to read the memorial again." An An watched Su Zhao go to the imperial case and sit down.

"Tomorrow there will be a court meeting, and I have to go to the Lecture Hall and the preparations for the Hongwen Hall. I want to make a list." Su Zhao said with a self-conscious smile, "Go back to sleep first."

"It's really tiring to be the lord of your country." The silver-haired girl blinked and complained.

Su Zhao picked up a piece of rice paper, picked up a pen to write, and said loudly: "You are also the master of the demon country now, and you have to deal with things in the future, no less than me."

After the death of Hushan Lord, Hushan Kingdom is now ruled by An An.

"Anyway, I can't be the head of the country, so I will leave it to my subordinates. When Lele grows up, let him help the director." An An took an apple from the fruit plate, took a bite, and pulled it A pear wood chair, sitting beside Su Zhao, tilted his head to look at it, and said in a clear voice: "Jiangwu Hall... Are you short of soldiers? Just call a batch from my demon country." , and Jianchen Lake and Dan Que have promised to serve you, so it should be right to send out some demon soldiers?"

Su Zhao said: "After all, it is an external force, which can be depended on or not."

He has now controlled the fairy garden world, which is equivalent to having a backup base.

Moreover, the three great demon kingdoms have half surrendered to him, and several great demons also agreed to serve him, but Su Zhao still does not intend to use the authority of the master of the fairy garden to release all these demon clans.

Because it is not easy to resettle, instead of letting millions of demons come out and disrupt the normal human order, it is better to continue to stay in the small world of Xianyuan and multiply.

He only invoked the group of monster races in the Yuangang realm that could completely transform into human form—that is, the top of the grass.

Of course, when the Immortal Dynasty is fighting for the front, he will also call the demon soldiers according to the situation.

"I know, if you are not of my race, you must have a different heart. You humans talk about this the most." An An didn't know if it was ridicule, but she didn't know what to mean.

Su Zhao shook his head, and said, "They are used to being carefree in Xiaotiandi, and if they come out rashly, they are not used to it either."

An An took another orange from the fruit plate, broke the orange with bare hands, pinched a petal and put it between her bright red lips, and passed another petal to Su Zhao.

Su Zhao opened his mouth and ate.

An An rested her chin in one hand, and tilted her head to look at the stern profile of the young man, feeling a little absent-minded, probably because she still has such a focused side?
Seeing that Su Zhao had finally finished writing, the wind outside the hall was getting louder, the rain was beating on the plane trees, and the shadows of the windows were shaking, and before he knew it, it was midnight.

Su Zhao looked up at the silver-haired girl, and said in surprise, "Why didn't you go back and rest?"

"Wait for you." An An blinked her eyes, sat on Su Zhao's lap, breathed out and said, "I can't sleep without you holding me."

From the high tension in the fairy garden to the current sorting out of state affairs, even though he is a person in the fairy way, after all, he has not yet condensed the golden core. At this moment, Su Zhao still feels a little mentally tired. He closes his eyes slightly and rests, only feeling tired Chung said, "Let's go."

Said, went to the imperial couch.

This little white tiger had explained to him before that because of the blood of the white tiger, he could not get out of the body before the spirit of the white tiger (shenzhao) was condensed, so as to prevent the blood vitality from passing away, so the two of them did not have the reality of being married.

As for hugging Sujue, it's just hugging a tiger cat.

However, at this moment, the girl's bright eyes of sapphire flashed a narrow smile, and she didn't know if she could see Su Zhao's thoughts, and whispered in her ear: "Before I came out, I asked the spider demon from the middle school workshop to make two Set black..."

For a moment, Su Zhao's sleepiness disappeared, but after thinking about it, he felt that he could see but not touch, which made him annoyed, and said: "Don't bother about these things, I have work tomorrow."

Seemingly seeing the young gentleman's lack of interest, the girl blushed with a delicate jade-like baby face, and said something through voice transmission with her spiritual sense.

Su Zhao's eyes flickered, and he thought to himself, he hadn't thought of the impassable waterway, and...

……

……

The next day, at dawn, Su Zhao sent Wei Xiangge out of the palace.

Twenty miles outside Wenyi City, although the torrential rain had stopped, the sky was still gloomy. The willows planted beside the road had luxuriant branches and leaves, swaying in the wind, and were about to drip.

"Let's send it here, you still have a lot of things to do." Wei Xiangge under the heroic brows, in the shining eyes, reflected Su Zhao's reluctant eyes.

Su Zhao nodded and said, "Xiangge, take care."

Wei Xiangge smiled brilliantly, then rose against the wind, turned into a streamer of red light, and disappeared into the sky.

Su Zhao took a long time to look away, sighed, and turned back.

Su Palace · Zhongyuan Hall

After Su Zhao returned, the court meeting was held again. Unlike the last time when the magistrates of Su Guo County gathered together, there were only six officials and subordinate officials, and some new ministers from the Shangshutai, wearing court clothes, one by one young On the face, it is difficult to hide the excitement of participating in state affairs.

Su Zhao sat on the throne, with a calm face, looking down from above, the sharp voice of the eunuch sounded, and read out the decree, appointing Situ Meng Jichang as the royal doctor, Han Dai as the young minister, and the original Shaozai Liang Shigu as Situ .

When some ministers below heard this, their hearts that had been suspended for a long time gradually let go. Apparently, Meng Jichang's "lenient" image made them feel that the establishment of Yushitai was not as scary as imagined.

Seeing the expressions on the faces of some officials, Su Zhao's face was pale, and he sneered in his heart.

Afterwards, Yan Chang was appointed as the governor of Wen Yi, which made all the ministers whisper to each other, and they all looked at the old man in civilian clothes who looked neither humble nor overbearing behind Chen Shao.

Before entering the hall, some people were suspicious, but few people knew who the old man was.

Among them was a public official surnamed Guo. Guo Xu boldly asked, "Your Majesty, I don't know who this Yan Chang is?"

Su Zhaodao: "Yan Qing once served as the seal of the two countries of Qi and Chu, and his reputation spread to Tianyuan, Guo Qing didn't know?"

Guo Xu's complexion changed slightly, but when he remembered who it was, his complexion changed, he folded his hands and bowed his head, and said, "This minister is ignorant and ignorant."

At this moment, the hall was silent, obviously digesting the news.

Su Zhao turned to ask in a deep voice: "How about the construction of Hongwen Hall and Lecture Hall?"

Sikong Fan Yanxu was in charge of this matter. Upon hearing the inquiry, he replied: "The pavilion building of the Hongwen Museum is tentatively designated as the Yanzifang in the east of the city. It has been renovated and repaired. At present, some small officials to welcome guests have settled in, Your Majesty. If you have time, you can go to check."

Su Zhao nodded, and said: "When the court is over, Gu will go and have a look."

After a while, Jing Hongdao came out of the class and said: "Since the order of seeking talents was issued for half a month, the scholars and people of the seven counties of Su State have heard about it, and they are all enthusiastic, praising the sages of the kings and marquises. Scholars have gathered in Wenyi one after another, and they have paid homage to Hongwen There are 320 five scholars in the hall, more than half of them are from Shanyang County."

Shanyang County has a well-developed culture and education, and there are more than a dozen academies. In the 53 counties of the seven counties, there are also many academies established in the three southern counties.

Su Zhao was silent for a moment, then said in a deep voice: "I've been thinking about it lately, and I feel that the order of seeking talents may still leave sages in the mountains and fields. Now that scholars have come here enthusiastically, I should issue an order: at the beginning of August this year, the city will , Open subjects to select scholars, only want to enlighten law, Jinshi, Mingshu, Mingjing and other disciplines, choose the best ones, recruit according to their talents, and reserve Britain for the country. Zixian knows this great event in literature and daoism."

"Your Majesty, this... my country of Su is only seven counties, how can taxes support so much public money?" Jing Hongdao heard the words, but his expression changed drastically.

He didn't know why Su Zhao just rested in bed for ten days, why did he take such a radical strategy?
He said: "My lord, there are 53 counties in the seven counties of my country of Su, and all the officials have a number of positions. How can they be indiscriminately awarded?"

Su Zhao said: "Why is there no official position? Shangshutai, Yushitai was first built, and Chang Qing's memorial table still said that Yushitai lacks suitable officials? Changqing, is there such a thing?"

Chang Miao said coldly: "There are not enough censors in the third court, and the humble ministers have inspected the capital, and there are so many talented people who are embarrassing."

"It seems that what our Su country lacks are honest and upright officials, officials who uphold justice and self-defense." Su Zhao's tone became a little colder, and he said: "Issue another decree and announce to the whole city that all the people in Wenyi have a relationship with the officials. Adultery, corruption, extortion of bribes, and oppression of good people can be posted anonymously to the Yushitai, reported and exposed, and the Yushitai will judge and verify, so as not to make extrajudicial adultery."

Jing Hongdao heard the words, the old figure swayed, why is the king so unwise?
This move will definitely put everyone in danger, and the country of Su will be in chaos.

Su Zhao took a deep breath, of course he knew that if this strategy was implemented, the officials would be miserable, complaints would be rife, and even some confusion would be caused.

But he couldn't care less about these.

The first step is to rectify the administration of officials.

As for the soldiers, he already has a way to win over and check and balance.

And he didn't act blindly. This step is to clean up the center first, and then inspect the place.

"The world of great struggle is about to start, if you don't enter, you will die. I can't allow me to simmer any longer."

Su Zhao's eyes were deep, and his heart was full of murderous intent.
