The end of the world begins with the king

Chapter 805

November [-], the day before the enthronement ceremony.

The time came to the afternoon, and there were snowflakes in the sky at this moment, but the inside of Qian'an Palace was as warm as spring.

Zhao Yanxun was flipping through the memorabilia, and many things happened in the past half a year.

The first thing is about the northwest. After the Hu people were defeated in the battle of Tianyuguan, the Hu people went east again after five months. Luo Lun, the deputy envoy of the Privy Council and the governor of the Northland, asked Zhao Yanxun to send more troops to resist.

There were quite a few Hu people who moved forward, and it was difficult to resist with the soldiers from the northwest, so Zhao Yanxun sent the forbidden army to go there.

Now Dajin Jiangshan has been controlled by him, and his subordinates actually control tens of millions of people, so he asked him to upgrade all twenty guards under his command.

The current situation is that all twenty guards have been promoted to the first-level army, and the previous designation of the imperial army has been applied.

Among them, the left and right Xiaoqi guards, the left and right Xiaowu guards, the left and right dragon guards, and the left and right dragon straight guards are cavalry; the left and right tiger guards, left and right Shenwu guards, left and right Wuxiang guards, left and right habayashi guards, left and right prison guards, and left and right Jinwu guards are infantry.

The above twenty guards are the first-level army, and Zhao Yanxun set up four new guards on top of them to prepare his [-] second-level army.

The four newly established guards are the left and right shence guards and the left and right Wu Ding guards. They are all second-level troops.

As for the 500 third-level soldiers, some of them were used to upgrade senior generals, and the rest were set up by Zhao Yanxun as Jinyiwei.

That's right, it is the Jinyiwei in the literal sense, which is responsible for dealing with high-level zombies, as well as obtaining intelligence and carrying out "special" operations.

But there is a problem that Zhao Yanxun's second-tier system has also been locked, and Zhao Yanxun can only re-upgrade soldiers unless the upgraded soldier dies and vacates the quota.

In other words, now he only has the Tier [-] system that can be used normally.

For this season's skill points, he has already exchanged for lighting effects in the Tier [-] system, which will be displayed in the entire capital tomorrow.

Besides, the second major event during this period was about the investigation of land acres presided over by Wang Tinghe, which involved many major cases.

Just because of this incident, dozens of big and small families were confiscated and exiled, causing thousands of people to turn over immediately.

The third major event is related to the investigation of the anti-party in the south. Under Cheng Wenguang's supervision, Xie Xiaofang established more than 20 big families.

These people have obvious intentions to fight against the imperial court, and they are not willing to compromise at all, so Zhao Yanxun can only deal with them.

Things have developed to the present, through Zhao Yanxun's handwriting in the Central Plains, which people in the south have noticed the reforms he wants to implement, which also means that the contradiction between the two sides will become more and more serious.

But Zhao Yanxun is not afraid at all, no matter the south or the southwest, there are troops he sent to suppress all dissatisfied people.

What's more, Zhao Yanxun didn't really drive these people to a dead end, he just asked them to pay taxes.

Looking at the already gloomy sky, Zhao Yanxun asked: "Tomorrow's ceremony, all the officials are ready?"

At this moment, Lin Quan was serving on the side. He was the chief engineer throughout the enthronement ceremony, and he came to report the situation at this time.

Lin Quan replied: "If you go back to the emperor, it was ready three days ago. The servants and servants checked it in person yesterday and today, and it has been confirmed that it is correct!"

"Has the cabinet arranged for the ceremony to be held tomorrow?"

Tomorrow's enthronement ceremony, in addition to the ceremony in the imperial city, officials will also be sent to tell the world, the ancestral temple, and the community, each of which has a very complicated ceremony.

"Reporting to the emperor, everything has been properly arranged, and in accordance with the emperor's will, each dispatched official has also arranged for adjutants to deal with emergencies!"

"En!" Zhao Yanxun nodded.

"Are all the observers sent by the counties here?"

Lin Quan said more respectfully: "Yesterday afternoon, Lingbei County, which is farthest away, also sent people into the capital!"

"Have you checked all the people who came to each county? Did you send someone according to the order?"

Zhao Yanxun had issued an edict in advance that in addition to officials visiting Beijing to watch the ceremony, each county must also have gentry and ordinary people.

In other words, Zhao Yanxun wanted people from all walks of life to come to the capital to participate in his enthronement ceremony, and to spread what they had seen and heard after returning home.

Especially for tomorrow's lighting effect, which cost Zhao Yanxun 20 skill points, it would be too wasteful for him if it was not known throughout the country.

"Reporting to the emperor, the servants sent people to check, and all the counties obeyed the order!"

Nodding his head, Zhao Yanxun became more and more satisfied, so he waved Lin Quan back.

Now that the business has been dealt with, although there will be a major ceremony tomorrow, Zhao Yanxun, a rare guest, is not at all nervous or flustered.

"In the morning, there was news from Yufu Palace that Jing'er kept crying. Could it be that he wants me to be his father?"

Just as Zhao Yanxun was going to visit Yufu Palace, he saw a small eunuch enter the palace, kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother invites you to come over!"

Zhao Yanxun immediately asked: "Is it just me, or is there someone else?"

The eunuch replied: "The empresses of all palaces are invited!"

"understood!"

Tomorrow's enthronement, today's small gathering, seems to be the right thing to do.

After briefly taking care of the affairs of Qian'an Palace, Zhao Yanxun rushed to Yanshou Palace.

Although she was not formally respected by the Empress Dowager, after the Yanshou Palace was redecorated, Zhao Yanxun asked Concubine Duan to move there.

Concubine Duan has been very happy to live in the palace she misses the most these past few days. Every time Zhao Yanxun goes to pay her respects, she has to listen to her lamenting how difficult the previous days were.

When Zhao Yanxun came to Yanshou Palace, all the concubines came out to welcome him.

"It's cold now, if it freezes you up, you don't need to be too polite... Hurry up and go to the palace!"

Although he has become the emperor, Zhao Yanxun is as humble and gentle to his women as usual, which also makes him more attractive in the hearts of the women.

After everyone entered the Yanshou Palace, Zhao Yanxun greeted the Queen Mother again.

"My son doesn't need to be polite, get up quickly!" Empress Dowager Cao laughed from ear to ear.

"I called you here today. I intend to let this family congratulate you!"

Looking at the women present, Empress Dowager Cao's eyes fell on her son, and said, "When you ascend the throne tomorrow, women will not be able to go to court, so this is the only way to congratulate you!"

Zhao Yanxun smiled, sat on the chair beside the queen mother, and replied with a smile: "The mother is thoughtful, and the son is grateful!"

But at this moment, under the leadership of Xue Baojun, nine women have already lined up to pay respects to the superior Zhao Yanxun.

"The courtiers and concubines kowtow to the emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live!"

Zhao Yanxun also showed a smile, and put his hands up empty-handed and said: "Every concubine is free!"

After that, the atmosphere was very harmonious, maybe the queen mother created an opportunity intentionally or unintentionally, and Zhang Fengxiu made a strong performance, which attracted several compliments from Zhao Yanxun.

The battles in the harem were all hidden under the water, and Zhao Yanxun didn't deliberately understand, so he didn't know many things.

After dinner in Yanshou Palace, everyone chatted for a while before finally dispersing.

Zhao Yanxun walked to Yufu Palace with Lin Jingyu on the grounds of visiting Youzi.

Inside the high wall, the accompanying eunuchs and maids were left far away, and only Zhao Yanxun walked on the empty palace road.

Different from the hustle and bustle just now, the two of them walked without saying a word, only the bright moon in the sky saw snowflakes falling.

"The emperor seems to have something on his mind?" Lin Jingyu couldn't help asking.

Zhao Yanxun sighed, but said nothing.

"If you have troubles, don't worry about them, or you will hurt your body and mind!"

"Even though my concubine is stupid, I'm willing to help the emperor to solve a problem, I'm afraid the emperor won't tell me!"

Hearing this, Zhao Yanxun smiled, this time it was a natural smile.

"If I really have a problem, don't say that no one in the world can solve it, even the ancient sages can't help!"

Hearing this joke, Lin Jingyu knew that the matter was not serious, and immediately said: "In this way, in the eyes of the emperor, concubines are all useless people!"

"My concubine is so ridiculous, if you don't explain it, I'm afraid I will really be troubled and depressed!"

Lin Jingyu stopped, looked up at Zhao Yanxun and said, "But the emperor hasn't told his concubines yet, what troubles are there!"

Zhao Yanxun also stopped, but he looked up at the bright moon in the sky.

Sighing, Zhao Yanxun said sadly: "From now on, I will be an eternal thief!"

No matter how good his job is on the surface, no matter how grand his achievements are, they can't cover up what's going on with Jing Nan.

People don't say it with their mouths, but they know it clearly in their hearts.The more he tried to cover up, the easier it was for others to get close to the truth.

As strong as Emperor Taizong, although he is praised by the world, there are many people who secretly say that he is a traitor.

At this moment, facing Zhao Yanxun's sigh, Lin Jingyu didn't know how to explain it.

The two stood together for a long time before they heard Zhao Yanxun suddenly say: "Forget it, merits and demerits are right and wrong, let future generations judge!"

Facing Lin Jingyu's eyes, Zhao Yanxun brushed off the snowflakes on her cloak, and said slowly: "Based on the present, it is right to do well now!"

Lin Jingyu smiled slyly and said: "The emperor is free and easy, which is better than the ancient and modern emperors!"

With a laugh, Zhao Yanxun said: "A concubine with a clever mouth is better than women from ancient and modern times!"

The two smiled knowingly, and then gradually walked away along the palace road, leaving only two rows of footprints in the snow, which were finally covered by falling snowflakes.
