The Jagged Empire of Daqin

"Jia Aiqing, this is your fault. Isn't water conservancy and road construction for the benefit of the people?" Ying Chang stared at Jia Luo expressionlessly.

"minister..."

Jia Luo hesitated to speak, and wanted to refute Ying Chang, but found that he seemed unreasonable. Yes, water conservancy and road construction are used to benefit the people. So, how can he refute this point of view.

"National water conservancy and road projects require 150 million laborers, and my Daqin has spent 80. For this reason, the Ministry of Industry is going to recruit laborers from neighboring countries. The Ministry of Industry will not only bear their travel expenses, but also You have to eat or live, it all costs money, now you know why you need 7000 million taels of silver?" Ying Chang explained to Jia Luo in a light tone.

"I know!" Jia Luo lowered his head involuntarily, knowing that the money must be paid, after all, it would be as difficult as going to heaven for Ying Chang to change his words.

Seeing Jia Luo subdued, Jiang Haiyou was in a good mood!

"That's all about the budget. Now let's talk about the two of you. The second-rank minister of the imperial court is actually fighting like a gangster in the market. Look at your current appearance. You don't look like important officials of the imperial court. You have lost the imperial court." You have lost my face!" Ying Chang had no expression on his face, and his tone was heavy, as long as the other party was not stupid, he would know that Ying Chang was angry.

Jiang Haiyou also couldn't help lowering his head, not daring to look directly at Ying Chang.

Ying Chang slowly got up from the dragon chair, walked around the imperial case and walked in front of the two, looked down at Jiang Haiyou condescendingly, and said in a calm tone: "Jiang Haiyou, let's not talk about your ability for now, you have only been an official for seven years, and Jia Aiqing has been an official for most of her life, and her qualifications are far higher than yours!"

"When I was not in charge of the government, Jia Aiqing had already served me. It can be said that I am a minister of the dragon, a minister of the arm, such a minister, how can you scold him for relying on the old and selling the old? Well, I will punish you to suspend your salary for one year. You will be demoted to the first rank, and you will be promoted to the third rank, and when you complete the national water conservancy road project, I will not only restore you to your original post, but also reward you!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Long En!" Jiang Haiyou knocked heavily.

Ying Chang looked at Jia Luo who was kneeling at his feet again, and said in a calm tone: "Jia Luo, Jiang Aiqing scolded you for relying on the old and selling the old, it was Jiang Aiqing's fault, but you were outside the Chengde gate of the palace, and the emperor beat someone at the feet, that was you Wrong!"

"I have always been rewarded for meritorious deeds and punished for demerits. I will punish you with a two-year suspension of salary, demote you to a first-rank rank, and become a third-rank minister. When you make meritorious service, I will raise you up again!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Long En!" Jia Luo also kowtowed like Jiang Haiyou.

"Get back!" Ying Chang waved his hands at them with a blank expression.

The two slowly got up from the ground, respectfully raised their hands to salute and leave, and quickly exited the imperial study room. After the figures of the two disappeared from Ying Chang's eyes, Ying Chang exhaled softly and held his hand Pressed the temple, a little headache.

Next, Ying Chang walked back to the dragon chair, sat on it lightly, and began to review the memorial.

"A Chang!"

Ying Chang had just unfolded a memorial, and before he could read it, a familiar voice came from outside the hall. He subconsciously looked up, and saw Bai Qi leading a group of elite soldiers in fish-scale black armor. There were about thirty or forty people, all of them were powerful and powerful, more than seven feet tall, with a ring-headed knife hanging on the left waist, a short crossbow hanging on the right waist, a dagger stuck in the right calf, and a suit of fine armor. , I thought Bai Qi was going to kill the king and seize the throne.

Ying Chang glanced at these elite soldiers indifferently, and found that some of these elite soldiers wore red tasseled helmets, some wore green tassels, and blue tassels. Obviously, their general positions were different, and judging from their similar heights, it was obvious that they were specially selected. Good soldiers and good generals!

"We pay homage to Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live long live!"

Dozens of elite soldiers knelt down on one knee and saluted and shouted loudly. Each soldier's expression was full of respect and admiration, and their shouts were also sonorous and powerful, full of energy.

"This is?" Ying Chang involuntarily got up from the dragon chair, looking at the group of powerful soldiers with doubts.

Bai Qi took a few steps forward, walked to the imperial case, stretched out his hand towards the group of elite soldiers and said, "Didn't you say a few months ago that you wanted to select a group of masters to be your guards? This is me The ones selected by Yuelai are all martial arts wizards, and they are good at using military tactics!"

"A total of 37 people. If they follow you, you will lead the army to go out in the future. They will not only help you kill the enemy, but also help you command the troops!"

"I'm determined!" Ying Chang nodded gratifiedly. To be honest, if Bai Qi hadn't said that, he would have almost forgotten about it.

Ying Chang got up from the dragon chair again, walked around the case and walked to Bai Qi's side. His sharp sword-like eyes looked around the 37 strong soldiers, and then he asked calmly and without anger: "Who are you waiting for?" Highest?"

Chapter 518 Establishing the Xianyang Palace Martial Guard System!

As soon as the words fell, the 37 elite soldiers looked at each other, but none of them stepped out. Finally, a captain wearing a blue tasseled helmet stepped out, bent down solemnly and respectfully, and said: "Return to Your Majesty, finally General Pei Ji, 28 this year, is the captain of the three armies of the capital, at his peak!"

"Peak!" Ying Chang couldn't help being surprised, what's wrong with the current world, why are the peak masters so worthless? Half step complete.

"At the age of 28, at the peak level, and commanding the captain of the third battalion of the capital, Pei Ji, you have to think clearly, to become my military guard, you don't have [-] soldiers and horses to command you, and if you continue to practice in the barracks, you will finally be able to fight in the army." One day he will become the second Great General of Zhenbei!" Ying Chang said with a solemn expression, looking at Pei Ji in a non-serious tone.

Pei Ji's height and shape may not be the best among these people, but it makes people feel calm, and there is a faint trace of a general. If he is allowed to continue to lead the army, he may become a new generation of generals, and if he follows Ying Chang, but there are not many opportunities to lead the army. Even if Ying Chang goes on a personal expedition in the future, he will bring famous generals with him. As a guard, he has no chance to lead the army at all, which limits Pei Ji's growth.

Ying Chang didn't want to strangle a future general by his side, otherwise it would not only be his loss, but also the loss of the entire Great Qin. As the saying goes, a thousand gold is easy to get, but a good general is hard to find. A good general is comparable to a hundred thousand troops !

Will not be afraid of more, but less!

"The last general is willing to serve His Majesty, and to serve His Majesty!" Pei Ji replied sonorously without thinking.

"We are willing to serve His Majesty on the left and right, and to support His Majesty!" The remaining 36 elite soldiers saluted and shouted together!

For them, it is a great honor for them to serve such a talented and generous monarch. They are very fortunate to be chosen by Qin Wu Wang Baiqi to become His Majesty's personal soldiers!

On the surface, Ying Chang seemed calm, seemingly without any disturbances, but in fact his heart was complicated. How can I put it this way, it is definitely a blessing for me to have such a group of soldiers, but at the same time, the Qin army also lost many good generals.

"Okay, since that's the case, wait for the order!" Ying Chang said expressionlessly!

"I will listen to the order!!"

The 38 people shouted in unison again, their expressions were both respectful and excited!

"I passed on the word of mouth that from now on, the military guards of Xianyang Palace will be established. There will be 38 military guards in Xianyang Palace. Solemnly, looking at the 37 elite soldiers kneeling on one knee in front of them with sharp eyes, he shouted: "The right center guards each lead eleven guards. As for who leads the left and right center guards, they will compete in martial arts and choose the three with the highest martial arts skills." Left and right Zhongbu Weichang!"

"We thank Your Majesty!" The 37 people kowtowed excitedly!

The army favors martial arts, the weak worship the strong, and the strong worship the stronger. This is true both in the army and in the civilian population. Only the strong can convince people. It is fair and just to choose the left and right military chiefs through military competitions!

Even if you lose, you will be convinced to lose!

Next, Ying Chang asked the 36 Xianyang Palace military guards except Pei Ji to compete one by one. The place of the competition was in the Imperial Study Room. Fortunately, the Imperial Study Room has a large space and is not afraid of breaking anything.

After nearly half an hour of martial arts competition, three chief guards of the middle guard were finally selected. The chief of the left guard was named Lu Quan; the chief of the middle guard was named Xu Shui;

Lu Quan, Chief of Zuowuwei, is 23 years old this year. He used to be a lieutenant in the First Army and First Battalion of the Beijing Normal University. He has achieved great martial arts and is famous for his bravery in the army. He was one of the generals, and Lu Quan came from a good background. His grandfather was the Minister of the Ministry of War during the period of Emperor Xiaoyi. Later, Emperor Xiaoyi died and Emperor Qinheng came to the throne.

The change of imperial power means a big change in the court situation. Grandpa Lu Quan died because of party disputes. The pillar of the family fell and was attacked by the political party. Ascension to the throne, in the 12th year of Shengqin, Lu Quan officially entered the military camp. It took three years, from a low-level pawn to a captain of the ace battalion of the capital's ace army!

Xu Shui, Chief of the Zhongwu Guard, is 25 years old this year. He used to be a lieutenant in the Third Battalion of the Second Army of the Capital Division. One of Bai Qi's valued generals!

Cao Zhen, the chief of the right military guard, is 24 years old this year. He used to be the captain of the First Battalion of the Fourth Army of the Beijing Normal University. At that time, the Cao family was hit badly by Empress Dowager Min, and almost ended up beheading the whole family!

The strength of the three people is not much different. Although their origins are different, they are also similar. After all, one is from a down-and-out official family, the other is from a down-and-out local family, and the other is from a commoner.

When the chief of military guards and the chief of the left and right middle guards had candidates, Ying Chang drew a sketch himself. This sketch was exactly the military guards of Xianyang Palace. As the personal soldiers of the emperor, how could the guards of Xianyang Palace not have special clothes.

The military guards of Xianyang Palace designed by Yingchang are very simple, red patterned inner robe, black python suit, black boots, black gold crown, python head belt, python head black hairpin, ring head knife, dagger!

Just this seven-piece suit, no armor, no protection!

After drawing the sketch, Yingchang sent someone to pass the sketch to Shangyi Division, and ordered Shangyi Division to rush to make 37 sets of Xianyang Palace Wuwei uniforms overnight. Originally, it was not Shangyi Division's turn to do this, because Shangyi Division Only made clothes for the emperor and the harem, but in order to show the difference and specialness of the military guards of Xianyang Palace, Ying Chang asked Shang Yisi to do it.

At the same time that the sketch was passed on to Shangyi Division, Ying Chang also sent someone to arrange the residence of Wuwei of Xianyang Palace. Pei Ji and the others also followed to get acquainted with the residence. Seeing that the matter was over, Bai Qi went to Guangxian Palace to find Ying Bei played, while Ying Chang continued to review the memorials.

At night, at the moment of the unitary hour, Ganquan Palace!

In the past, at the moment of Unitary Hour, the sun had already set and night fell. However, it was summer, and the sun was still on the top of the West Mountain.

PS: "I'm asking for a recommendation ticket, asking for a monthly ticket, asking for a collection, asking for a full order, and asking for four daily requests. I hope you guys can agree!"

Chapter 519 Happy!

During this period of time, Ying Chang, who had been busy all day, had already left the imperial study and came to Ganquan Palace for dinner. In the main hall of Ganquan Palace, a table of eight immortals was filled with eighteen different delicious dishes. Holding a jade bowl full of rice and a pair of jade chopsticks in one hand, he is tasting the dishes.

On the right side of Yingchang, Yang Xiao is also like Yingchang, holding a jade bowl in one hand and jade chopsticks in the other, eating the delicacies carefully prepared by the imperial dining room. In the huge main hall of Ganquan Palace, there are only two People, it seems a little empty.

"Ok?"

Yang Xiaoxiu frowned suddenly, his movements stopped, and there was an unconcealable uncomfortable expression on his face. Seeing Yang Xiao's strangeness, Ying Chang also frowned, and asked involuntarily, "What's wrong?"

Yang Xiao didn't answer Ying Chang's words, but immediately put down the bowl and chopsticks, covered his mouth with his hands and ran to the left bathing hall.

"vomit"

"vomit"

As soon as Yingchang walked into the bathing hall, he saw Yang Xiao holding the bathtub with one hand and covering his chest with the other, bending over to vomit into the bathtub, but he didn't vomit anything, it was retching. Yingchang saw this, Immediately panicked, he hurriedly ran behind Yang Xiao, patted Yang Xiao's back, and asked worriedly, "What's wrong with you? What's wrong?"

"vomit"

Yang Xiao couldn't answer, he was very sick and retched non-stop.

"Come here, pass on the imperial physician!" Ying Chang turned his head and shouted to the outside of the hall with a rather hurried expression.

Xi Yang, the head of the military guard of Ganquan Palace who was guarding outside the hall, was startled when he heard Ying Chang's call, and hurriedly said to one of the guards under his command: "Go and pass on the imperial physician, hurry up!"

"As ordered!"

Seeing Wu Wei go to teach the imperial physician, Xi Yang also hurriedly walked into the main hall of Ganquan Palace, and walked into the bathing hall looking for the sound of retching. Next to Yang Xiao, he and Ying Chang patted Yang Xiao's back lightly.

"Hoo! Hoo!"

After a while, Yang Xiao changed from retching to taking deep breaths, panting heavily, as if he had just run around the palace, Ying saw that Yang Xiao had eased up a bit, and asked with a worried tone: "You What's the matter? Did you eat your stomach?"

Yang Xiao shook his head with a haggard expression, and replied in a rather weak tone: "I don't know, it's just disgusting, inexplicably disgusting..."

"Disgusting?" Ying Chang frowned, as if thinking of something.

Women are generally inexplicably disgusting, either they are terminally ill or they are pregnant, anyway, that's how it was written in the previous life.

Are you pregnant?

When Ying Chang thought of this, he couldn't help feeling pleasantly surprised, but he didn't show it, let alone say it, because if it wasn't pregnancy, wouldn't it make Yang Xiao feel overjoyed and sad, and overjoyed and sad is the easiest way to hurt his mind, so let's wait for the imperial doctor to come and diagnose.

"I will help you to rest on the couch!" Ying Chang said softly, and after finishing speaking, he put his arms around Yang Xiao's shoulders, and at the same time looked up at the sunset and said: "Hurry up and urge the imperial doctor, as soon as possible, immediately, immediately!"

"As ordered!"

Xi Yang bowed down and saluted solemnly, and immediately left the bathing hall, and ran out of Ganquan Palace to urge the imperial doctor. As soon as the sunset left, Ying Chang carefully helped Yang Xiao to the sleeping hall, and let Yang Xiao lie down. Waiting for the imperial doctor on the phoenix couch.

"I won't be seriously ill?"

As soon as Yang Xiao lay down on the phoenix couch, she looked at Ying Chang who was sitting on the edge of the phoenix couch with a face of fear and said, with tears in her eyes, obviously not only Ying Chang Xiyang was flustered, but she, the client, was even more panicked.

Ying Chang gently reached out and stroked Yang Xiao's cheek, and whispered affectionately, "Don't be afraid, I'm here!"

"You are the Queen of the Great Qin Empire, the mother of the world, and the most honorable woman in the Great Qin Dynasty. When God sees you, you have to bend down and bow your head. God also has to give me a little face. How dare you take your life!"

With Ying Chang's reassurance, Yang Xiao's uneasy heart gradually stabilized, and he began to wait quietly for the imperial doctor to come.

In less than half a stick of incense, the Imperial Physician Order Zhang Donglin and Imperial Physician Ma Haisheng hurried over with more than a dozen imperial physicians. Except for the Imperial Physician Ling Zhang Donglin who did not carry a wooden medicine box, the other imperial physicians, including Imperial Physician Ma Haisheng, all carried a wooden medicine box. Wooden medicine chest.

The wooden medicine box is full of various medicinal materials. Whenever the emperor or the harem needs an imperial doctor, they will rush there with the wooden medicine box. This is done to prevent wasting time running back and forth and missing the best time for treatment. Being an imperial doctor is a High-risk occupation, life and death are unpredictable!

"I'll see you later..."

"Stop saluting, give the empress a diagnosis and see what's going on!"

The imperial physician ordered Zhang Donglin and a group of imperial physicians to kneel and bow, but Ying Chang quickly interrupted their salute and asked them to diagnose Yang Xiao directly.

"According to the order!"

Zhang Donglin bowed down respectfully to answer, then quickly took out a cushion, knelt down under the phoenix couch, put Yang Xiao's slender hand on the cushion, and then gently pressed two fingers under the wrist Feel Yang Xiao's pulse carefully.

Zhang Donglin has reached his sixtieth birthday, he is in his seventies, and his temples are covered with snow. He has served as an imperial physician for ten years and served as an imperial physician order for 40 years. He is a highly respected generation of imperial physicians. See a doctor and treat a disease.

When Zhang Donglin was taking his pulse, no one in the room dared to say anything. The hall was terribly quiet and the atmosphere was rather strange. Everyone, including Ying Chang, was very anxious, but the reasons for their anxiety were different. Yang Xiao was terminally ill and couldn't be cured. He was worried that Ying Chang would execute them all in a fit of anger. After all, such things were not uncommon.

And Ying Chang's anxiety was because he was worried that Yang Xiao was not pregnant, but really sick!

"Huh?" Zhang Donglin frowned slightly, and Ying Chang's heart tightened suddenly.

"Haha!" Zhang Donglin burst out laughing suddenly, and at the same time moved the finger under Yang Xiao's wrist away. Seeing Zhang Donglin laughing, Ying Chang and the imperial physicians present were relieved, as if they had received an amnesty .

In terms of diagnosis and treatment, as long as the imperial physician's face is not ugly, there is usually some help, and if the imperial physician laughs, it is a good thing.

Even though Zhang Donglin didn't say anything, Ying Chang already had a bottom line in his heart, Yang Xiao was pregnant, and there was a dragon seed!

Zhang Donglin got up from the ground, bowed towards Ying Chang with a blushing face and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, I would like to congratulate Your Majesty on his great joy. The empress is not sick, but happy. It has been a month!"

Sure enough, as Ying Chang expected, there really are dragon species!

"Haha, I'm happy, I'm happy, Xiao'er, did you hear that? You're happy, haha!"

PS: "I'm asking for a recommendation ticket, asking for a monthly ticket, asking for a collection, asking for a full order, and asking for four daily requests. I hope all the judges can agree!"

Chapter 520 Announcement!

Even though Ying Chang had already expected it, he was still ecstatic. If there were not too many people, Ying Chang would have wanted to jump around in place to express his happiness. Yang Xiao's expression also changed from fear to joy. He was happy, and finally he was happy Now, I can spread branches and leaves for the Ying Qin family!

For a long time, due to Ying Chang's busy government affairs, she could only accompany her at night, and sometimes even go to other concubines, which made her quite lonely and boring, so she always wanted to have a child and let the child accompany her, just like the concubine Xian Like Tang Hua, with Ying Bei, he is not afraid of being bored.

Now that she is finally happy, she is pregnant with a dragon seed, how can she not be happy!

"His Majesty!"

Yang Xiao hugged Ying Chang excitedly, and Ying Chang patted Yang Xiao's back dumbfoundedly, to comfort Yang Xiao's excited and trembling heart. Seeing that His Majesty and the Empress were like this, Zhang Donglin immediately took leave with a smile, but he did not leave completely, but gathered together In the main hall, discuss with the rest of the imperial physicians.

What are you discussing?Naturally, it is a matter of nursing and raising the fetus. This is the dragon species of the current emperor, and now Yingchang is the only one left after winning the male son of the Qin family. Emperor of the Empire.

For these imperial physicians, Ying Chang generously rewarded them. Zhang Donglin rewarded one hundred taels of silver. Anyone who came with Zhang Donglin was rewarded with ten taels of silver. After Yang Xiao gave birth to a dragon son or a phoenix girl, they will receive more rewards.

"Have you heard? The empress is pregnant!"
