After becoming the king of the subjugated country

After killing a large number of clans and exiling a group of veterans, Ji Chen felt that the atmosphere in the entire court was very different.

The exhortations that were sent in from time to time in the past disappeared, and the decree was delivered more quickly. The courtiers who originally wanted to rely on the old and sell the old felt a lot, and those who asked to resign asked to resign, and those who shut up shut up.

Without Ji Chen taking the initiative to mention something, a large number of people began to scramble for the official positions left by these veterans, expressing their determination to Ji Chen every day, and the revision work of regular script that was originally slow progressed rapidly.

Ji Chen joked to Bai Qi: "It seems that we still have to kill a group of people to show them. Does this count as killing others?"

"Of course it counts," Bai Qi couldn't help laughing, and said, "You don't know, these people don't look good when they see me now. Sometimes when I have nothing to do, I go around the street, and they all think I came here to look for evidence to search the house, and none of them dared to commit crimes, and I didn’t forget to wipe off the evidence of my past, all the dudes who went out in the past were locked up.”

"How's the prime minister?" Ji Chen asked.

Bai Qi said: "It's okay now, it is said that I will come to the court tomorrow. Don't worry, we are now handling the prime minister's affairs together, if we are really in doubt, we can ask the prime minister again, and we will definitely make arrangements."

Ji Chen's thoughts drifted away unconsciously.

Originally, he had almost forgotten the content of the novel, but now the prime minister's serious illness made him remember it again.

The last emperor's murder was poisoned by eunuchs two years later.

He can let the prime minister go back to rest so that he doesn't fail in office, and he can also go out without the eunuch, so he won't be poisoned by the eunuch.

But this does not mean that the prime minister will not die, and it does not mean that he will not die.Although he won't be poisoned to death, maybe he will be hacked by the rebels?

"The people from the Imperial Hospital tried their best to prolong the prime minister's life," Ji Chen said, "He has worked so hard for so many years, and now he can't just die like this, he should live a few more years."

He also wanted to know how powerful the plots of these novels were.

"Okay, don't worry, I have already ordered you." Bai Qi said seriously.

But he kept in mind all the things that Ji Chen worried about and cared about.

The two chatted and laughed, and the little eunuch came over to announce, "Your Majesty, Lord Ning is here."

"Please come in." Ji Chen said.

Bai Qi sat back in his seat and continued to correct the official documents.

When Ning Wenzheng came in, he saw Bai Qi was there, so he glanced at him, then seriously bowed to Ji Chen, and handed over a memorial, "Now I have read all the classics, and listed all the villages in Kyoto and the suburbs one by one. The name is registered, and the general population has also been registered, so we can prepare to start the next step of construction.”

Ji Chen flipped through it and couldn't help nodding.

In order to show her determination to be closer to the emperor, Ning Wenzheng took the lead in learning regular script, and Ji Chen also gave her a serious reply, giving her some hints according to the modern urban planning and design that can be referred to.

Ji Chen asked casually, "Is there anything else you need? People from the Ministry of Industry are with your father, and you can use them as you like. The treasury of the Ministry of Households has also harvested a lot of gold and silver. Now there is no shortage of silver. I will give you some approval. This market must be set up in every village. It can not only buy some villagers' grain output, but also sell some materials needed by the villagers. At the same time, it can also be used as a channel for our news. "

Ning Wenzheng showed a smile, "Everything else is fine, but I still need a few people."

"Who do you want?" Ji Chen became interested.

Ning Wenzheng announced a name, "I want Yuan Su."

Ji Chen thought for a long time, but he didn't remember who this person was.

He almost remembers the names of the people who go to court every day. Is there such a person?no.But someone who can be named by Ning Wenzheng must be somewhat extraordinary, right?It should not be forgotten by him.

He could only look at Bai Qi who knew the situation in the court better.

Bai Qi was also taken aback for a moment, then immediately looked at Eunuch Xin.

Eunuch Xin wiped off his sweat and speculated, "Is that... the name of the Crown Princess?"

Watching Ning Wenzheng nod his head, Ji Chen's eyes could not help being subtle.

It's fine if the heroine doesn't speak, but if she speaks, she will leave a princess?

"Did she agree to it herself?"

Ning Wenzheng said: "She is naturally extremely happy."

Picking up the memorial, Ji Chen started to write the word "Zhun" in regular script.

Ning Wenzheng continued: "There are also Fan Shu, Zhang Yun, He Yi, etc."

Ning Wenzheng reported seventeen names at once.

This time, Ji Chen didn't need to think too much, he just looked at Eunuch Xin.

Eunuch Xin sweated even more, "It's Fan Liangdi, Lady Zhang, He Fengyi and others..."

After careful calculation, in the East Palace, the prince's concubines, except for those court ladies, seem to have caught all the concubines with names and surnames.

But it's not surprising, when Ji Han was the crown prince, he was especially favored. The concubines chosen by the late emperor were all from good backgrounds, and they were all girls from official families who were selected through drafts.

Without Ji Chen waiting, Ning Wenzheng briefly talked about the things between them.

First, the Crown Princess came to her and helped her, and indeed helped her deal with a lot of affairs. Then the concubines in the Eastern Palace found that the Crown Princess was often away, and finally got stuck in the road and found the Crown Princess' whereabouts. , So one or two slowly joined their team.

Ji Chen's hand holding the pen paused slightly, and a drop of ink fell on the paper.

Bai Qi's expression was also a little subtle.

Ning Wenzheng looked at him resolutely, "Your Majesty, these women are all well-known ladies who are good at poetry and books. Now they can only stay in the East Palace. Since they want to pray for the prince, why can't they go out to do things for the people of the world? Well-being?"

Of course Ning Wenzheng knew that this was not easy to do. After all, the princess and the others are married, or married into the royal family, and they need to abide by many rules. Unlike her alone, as long as her parents agree, outsiders can't treat her too much blame.

Ning Wenzheng had already prepared a draft, and it was indeed difficult to persuade an emperor to agree to such a risky matter, so she set aside an afternoon to attack Ji Chen.

"Okay." Ji Chen continued to write, and wrote his own specific comments.

Ning Wenzheng subconsciously asked: "...What did you say?"

Ji Chen put down his pen, "I agree."

He was also to blame, thinking that the best arrangement for them was to let them remarry, but failed to notice their shining points.

Fortunately, Ning Wenzheng discovered this and used all these people.

But when it came to this, Ji Chen couldn't help feeling delicate.

Ning Wenzheng's team just hollowed out the corner of Prince Ji Han's wall and took away all his wives and concubines.

This... this seems pretty good?

The victory came so fast that Ning Wenzheng was not even mentally prepared.

When going out, Bai Qi stopped her suddenly, and Ning Wenzheng came back to her senses, "What's the matter?"

Everyone is fairly familiar, so Ning Wenzheng stopped being polite.

Bai Qi said, "Let's make a deal."

"I'll help you solve this matter, so that the people will no longer block you, and His Majesty will also block some ministers, so that your resistance will be much smaller."

"In exchange, you need to help me with one thing in the future."

After hearing Bai Qi's words, Ning Wenzheng's eyes widened in disbelief, "Are you crazy?"

"Women can be officials, why can't I always be by the emperor's side?" Bai Qi was thinking about his future seriously, "I can't really be a lonely minister and let His Majesty take the lead for me. You don't have to doubt my integrity." Motivation, I am helping you now, and I also hope that you can stand in a high position in the future and say a few words for me."

Ning Wenzheng pressed the center of his eyebrows, feeling a rare headache, "The key issue lies with Your Majesty. If you put all your eggs in one basket..."

As a friend, Ning Wenzheng didn't want to see this scene either.

Bai Qi said lightly, "Press my heart and the rest of my life, no matter what the result is, I will not regret it."

Ning Wenzheng was dumbfounded, even though she had noticed some clues before, she still finds it inconceivable now.

Ning Wenzheng thought for a while, "Okay, if you can really impress His Majesty, I will also do my best for you."

The two reached a simple verbal agreement, and Ning Wenzheng glanced at Bai Qi, sighed, and left in a hurry.

At the end of the road, the princess and a group of women were waiting for Ning Wenzheng, and when they saw her coming, they surrounded her happily.

"Sister Ning, how are you doing?"

"Is the matter resolved?"

"We're all waiting for you."

Ning Wenzheng answered one by one, and the group walked away in a mighty way.

Ji Chen corrected the official document, looked back and found that Bai Qi had disappeared, so he got up and stood by the window, just in time to catch a glimpse of them walking away.He felt in a daze that even Ji Han had never received such treatment.

The next day when he went to court, Ji Chen announced the matter, which immediately caused a turmoil.

Prime Minister Qin clutched his heart, regretting that he hadn't been sick for another day.

Jiang Zilin, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, was almost speechless, he panted, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, it's all right to have Ning Wenzheng, she has made a lot of contributions anyway, and now she is only the head of the Ministry of Industry and has no qualifications to go to court. , so many women poured into the court together, how decent is this? Are these women going to turn the world upside down?"

Ning Yuan was immediately displeased. After switching camps, he naturally wanted to support his daughter, "Even though Wenzheng is young, she has made a lot of achievements. You don't need to belittle her. .Now she brings a group of female relatives to work for His Majesty, naturally for the sake of Jiangshan Sheji."

Jiang Zilin, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, kept stabbing Ning Yuan with his eyes, "It can be the same! The girls of the Ning family, it's up to us to do things, but they have already married into the royal family, so how can they still show their faces outside! It's embarrassing! Not only the face of her natal family, but the face of the royal family is also lost!"

Zhang Nan, the servant of the household department, just bowed to Ji Chen, "Your Majesty's words are very true. They go out of the palace and work with Master Xiao Ning, and they are also seeking the well-being of the people of the world."

Jiao Shen, an official of the Imperial College, sneered, "After all, it's just because your daughter is in there. You don't want her to be a widow for the prince, do you? Your Majesty is kind enough not to let these girls shave or become monks. At present, they are just letting them live In the East Palace, they prayed for the crown prince, and they all said that if you get married, you will obey your husband, and you will keep your filial piety after death, so it’s possible that you are still thinking of taking him back and arranging to remarry!"

Zhang Nan scoured his belly full of articles, and scolded these opponents passionately.

Who hasn't been selfish?His daughter Zhang Yun is a concubine in the East Palace and has not seen each other for five years. She is only 21 now and has no children. Does she have to be trapped in the Buddhist hall in the small courtyard for the sake of the prince?

It was fine if he didn't have a chance in the past, but now, how could he not fight for his daughter once.It doesn't matter if you can't do anything, at least you have a reputation, and you can go out of the palace for a while in the future to relax.

The Golden Temple is more lively than the vegetable market. Ji Chen listened to these people arguing, but he didn't care at all. Anyway, he finished writing and stamped the imperial decree, and now he just announced the matter. He didn't come here to ask these people for their opinions.

Prime Minister Qin had no choice but to preside over the overall situation, and finally eased the situation. Then he coughed and bowed to Ji Chen, "Your Majesty, the courtiers are now worried that these women will cause trouble for the court..."

Ji Chen lazily retorted, imitating Qin Sheng's sarcasm, "A dozen women can bring chaos to the court, so aren't you people too useless?"

The person who originally proposed this article suddenly blushed.

Ji Chen's thinking is exceptionally broad, anyway, it's the end of the country's subjugation, and it doesn't matter how chaotic the situation is.

Glancing at the courtiers below, Ji Chen sat up straight, "They followed Ning Wenzheng, but they only started from the nine-rank documents. The official department has its own standards for assessment. If they are capable, they will naturally be promoted. If they are not capable, they will be promoted." , Naturally, he should abdicate and let the virtuous."

He will not lower the standard because these people are women, nor will he be too harsh because they are women.

Ji Chen continued: "Now a group of people headed by Lord Li want to go into exile with the clan, and I have granted them permission. The court is at a time when there is a shortage of talents, and the selection of talents should be more eclectic. Everything should be based on ability. "

Prime Minister Qin put aside this topic, and brought up the next thing, "Now there is a memorial from the southwestern border, saying that the Xia Kingdom is suffering from a famine, and the border troops are ready to move."

Ji Chen felt that there are still a few capable people in the Yue Kingdom, and it is not bad to notice something is wrong so early in advance and pass the news on.

"The frontier is tough now, so we really should send something," Ji Chen made a decision on the spot, "Let the eldest princess run for me."

Prime Minister Qin was taken aback, who? ?

Before he could react, Eunuch Xin said sharply, "Back to court—"

Ji Chen left without hesitation, and no one dared to stop him.

I couldn't believe what I heard in my ears, a group of courtiers crowded each other, Prime Minister Qin quickly slipped away through the small gate seeing that the situation was not good.

"Thank you, Second Brother," Ji Shao walked over outside the Jinluan Hall, his eyes brightened, "Madam can rest assured now, she has been thinking about her father and family, but unfortunately she can't go and see it in person."

For so many years, Mrs. Qiao and her can be regarded as the same mother and daughter. Mrs. Qiao was born in the family of a military general, and Ji Shao also learned a little bit. Now that Mrs. Qiao misses her family, she also volunteered to take the place of Mrs. Qiao. southwest.

Ji Chen opened the folding fan, quite helplessly, "You don't have to be so polite, just remember to be safe."

Ji Chen also hesitated for a long time before making this decision.

Among the protagonists, apart from Tang Qian, Ji Shao is the only one who has actually commanded soldiers and been on the battlefield.Even when Bai Qi was guarding the frontier, he mostly deployed and planned in the camp.

After all, Ji Shao was sent to be married, and her way back to the country was a bloody road.

Now Ji Chen naturally wouldn't send Ji Shao out like this, but he was also worried about ruining her chance to grow up.Ji Chen also gave her a chance to take a look. It was up to her to see what she could do there.

It wasn't just the courtiers who reacted violently, now that Ji Chen didn't stop these people from talking about the government, the people in the capital would talk about the current world affairs when they were full and had nothing to do.

Naturally, we will talk about the latest news.

Qin Shu spoke dryly, stood in the teahouse and explained His Majesty's intentions for everyone, and finally said: "Among us common people, if a woman is powerful, it is not a scandal. If she can marry a daughter-in-law who can keep the family business, That's a beautiful thing. I don't think it's a big deal for His Majesty to do this. Anyway, these women are living as widows and reciting scriptures, and they are eating the country's salary for nothing. Wouldn't it be better if they can do something now."

The common people still liked to hear Qin Shu's down-to-earth speech, they all applauded, motioned him to come again, and asked him what happened when the princess went to the southwest.

Qin Shu said flickeringly: "People in the royal family are more noble, and courtiers can only be regarded as royal retainers, but the princess is different. She is the emperor's own sister, a real golden branch and jade leaf. Think about it, if you are a soldier who fights Does the emperor dare to send his own sister near the battlefield, or is it better to show the emperor's importance by coming with a random minister?"

The people below whispered to each other.

"I've said it long ago, no matter how powerful the courtier is, can he be as honorable as the princess?"

"Wu Ergou, did you say something wrong again this time? How can this be called a princess fighting for power? This is clearly because the younger sister is worrying about the older brother, and that's why she dared to run to such a dangerous place."

"It turns out that royal princesses are not easy to do. I thought they just need to stay in the palace to eat and drink."

While everyone was chatting, Qin Shu poured several cups of tea for himself, then sneaked out through the back door, only to bump into Bai Qi wearing a mask.

Qin Shu's eyes lit up, and he said in a hoarse voice, "Mr. Shang."

Bai Qi said softly, "Are you busy here today?"

Qin Shu sighed, "That's not the case, it's all an order from His Majesty, and I'm here."

No need for Bai Qi to say more, Qin Shu clattered and explained.It was Ji Chen who felt that Qin Shu was very contagious and liked to chat, so he simply appointed him an eighth-rank official and asked him to come to different teahouses and chat with the people every day.

Of course, Ji Chen's original words were to try his best to guide public opinion.

Qin Shu wiped his face, "Nowadays, no one in the capital is unfamiliar with me. Every day when I say where to go, a group of them come to listen to my chatter. We talk about everything from all over the world."

It's not that no one wants to steal his limelight, but other people don't have his guts, and few dare to point and point at the courtiers to guide you. After all, he is "chatting by order".

Having said that, Qin Shu looked at Bai Qi, "What about you, Mr. Shang?"

Bai Qi showed a smile, "I'm going to Dengwenlou to learn how to play the piano with everyone. Master Ning asked me to write an inscription for their Zhuangzi. I have to prepare carefully."

Qin Shu unconsciously showed a little envy, such a chic life is what he wants.

Unlike him, who works hard every day to chat with everyone...

Watching Shang Nan go away, Qin Shu didn't rest for long, and bumped into Ji Chen again.

Ji Chen warned: "You can tell people to leave later, today is not suitable for chatting, just find a reason to coax them home."

"Ah? Oh, okay." Qin Shu responded in a daze.

The people inside have already started to call out, "Young Master Qin, where are you?"

"Here we come," Qin Shu woke up, got up and walked back.

Ji Chen led a dozen people across the street and walked directly to an inn.

The shopkeeper of the inn lowered his head, greeted the guests and entered the box on the second floor, then hurried downstairs.

The guards brought by Ji Chen checked the surroundings one by one, and finally came to report, "The manpower has been arranged properly, and 1000 people are scattered in the nearest few houses and inns, and they can arrest Ge Shi at once just by order." The anti-thief who will meet. There is no problem inside the box, the tea is clean and proper, and His Majesty can rest for a while."

Ji Chen waved, "Then let's sit down and wait for them to take the bait,"

Ji Chen opened a box, which contained a small wooden tube with two lenses inside.

This is the ancient version of the "telescope" that Ji Chen asked people to make specially. It consumes countless colored glass and is very valuable. He kept one here, and sent the other one to the southwest.

Ji Chen took a telescope and looked through the window towards a house 300 meters away.

There were a lot of people there, and the gatekeeper of the house was particularly sturdy, with a full face.

Ji Pei also led Bi Xuan, greeted them with a smile, and walked into the house.

Ji Pei and Bi Xuan held hands, and Bi Xuan also whispered in Ji Pei's ear: "Let's go in first, delay for a while, I have already asked someone to report to the police, saying that there are rebels gathered here."

Ji Pei also patted Bi Xuan's hand. He had a newly made concealed weapon in his arms, and he just happened to test its power here.

Inside the house, Tang Qian said to the bearded leader of Geshihui: "If they are sensible this time, then we will continue. If they are not sensible, then we will get rid of them."

The bearded man was overjoyed and filled with emotion, "Since you joined us, our Guild has achieved success step by step, and I will definitely reward you a lot in the future."

Tang Qian glanced at the tea calmly, and answered vaguely.

He poured some fainting medicine in it, which was obtained from the female doctor in Tai Hospital in the past.
