Chapter 106 as an official

He executed the current Minister of War who was both corrupt and incompetent, Ji Xiu seemed to feel sleepy. He leaned weakly on the dragon chaise, and put his left hand on the armrest of the dragon chaise to support his head. Ji Xiu's eyes closed slightly, and his thumb and index finger gently stroked both sides of his nose, as if he was having a headache.

"Your Majesty, it is important to take care of the dragon's body." The eunuch who served by Sili said a timely statement to show his loyalty.

Ji Xiu waved his hand and did not pay too much attention to the eunuch of Sili who was with him at court every day. Instead, he said to the ministers under his seat: "The Minister of War has now been imposed on the law, which is also a warning to all my beloved ministers. Officials should put the people first, and the welfare of the people in the world is in your hands. However, I have never said that you can eat the people and make a living, right?"

"Two thousand years ago, the Great Qin Dynasty was founded and lasted for thousands of years. However, because of his position as an official, he was corrupt and abused the law, the cavalry of the Snow Lion Kingdom in the Northern Region broke through the defense line of the Great Qin Empire, captured the Great Wall, and advanced straight into the road. The last emperor of the Qin Dynasty was arrogant, extravagant, cruel and unkind, and rebels rose everywhere in China, and the people he thought were hung on the evergreen tree and were cut alive."

"As soon as the Qin Dynasty was destroyed, the world was in chaos, and hundreds of races lived in symbiosis for a thousand years. The ancestors of our Han and Tang dynasties sacrificed their lives and led humans to take a place from the hundreds of races. After another thousand years, you and my ancestors worked hard and made arrangements everywhere, so that humans became survivors and victors in the entire history."

"The ancestors' efforts and dedication to their fullest is to make you people the country's borers and mice? Is it to let the Han and Tang dynasties follow the footsteps of the Qin dynasty? I would like to advise you to collect all your frivolous activities."

"I don't want to worry about making money. But you have to do things while eating imperial grain and enjoying the people's kneeling. Don't think you are a thing. How great it is. Without those who kneel down and call you master every day, you are nothing."

After saying a few words, everyone in the hall was sweating profusely. It would be fine if they had never done anything bad. Those who had a ghost in their hearts had a slightly worse mental quality and were almost kneeling on the ground. The sweaty official uniform was tightly pressed against their bodies, lowering their heads, and they dared not speak.

Ruan Buyi looked at the group of colleagues who were ministers in the same palace and shook his head, and swallowed all the words he wanted to retire and return to his hometown.

He stood up and said, "Emperor, the Minister of War has been dealt with. The most urgent task should be to immediately select a new Minister of War and let him take office immediately. After all, the urgent war in the northwest cannot be delayed for a moment. Without the Minister of War, the direction of food and grass and the distribution of troops have become a difficult task."

Ji Xiu glanced at Ruan Buyi. He respected this teacher very much. He first asked Ruan Buyi to sit down, and then said: "Don't hurry up in this matter. Sharpening the knife will not delay the chopping of wood. No matter how urgent the northwest is, it cannot make the internal chaos. If you want to fight against foreign countries, you must first settle the internal situation. You cannot let those soldiers be surrounded by the enemy's knife on the battlefield, and even the soft knife of your own people at home."

"If I immediately promote one person to become the Minister of War, I will not have a good candidate. Even if I choose, no one can take care of whether this person can immediately take over the work of the Ministry of War and grasp the overall situation. Therefore, the affairs of the Ministry of War will be done first. For the time being, the Minister of War will be the candidates, so please help your family to find the candidates."

"The most urgent task now is that the war with the Western and Northern Territory areas has been fighting for a long time. No one expected the two places to jointly invade the border of the Tang Dynasty. The border is in a tough battle, do you have any good ideas?"

One sentence made everyone fall into endless silence. Everyone pressed their heads very low, avoiding any eye contact with the most decisive and decisive emperor throughout history.

Ji Xiu showed a contemptuous smile on his lips, and sneered, saying, "You are so embarrassed to say that you are the pillars of the country? If the country asked you to support it, it would have been over. The important officials of the dynasty, at the lowest level, are also a third-rank official. Are you worthy of the things embroidered on your official uniform? A bunch of candids."

I'm afraid Ji Xiu is the first emperor who can scold the ministers of the country as idiots in the morning court.

Not every minister had no backbone. At the end of the military officers, one of them stood up and said, "Report to the Master, I think that the two places in the Western and Northern Territory jointly invaded our border. The two sides were in a stalemate because our dynasty was too small. We should draw troops from all over the country to the border, guard the border, and promote our country's power."

"Barring," Ji Xiu finished listening and smashed the inkstone on the table directly at the official, "Draw troops? Since the war started, most of the troops from 16 states in the north and south have been transferred to the frontier. Still, there is no one to take care of the bandits and bandits in the local area. The soldiers have finished their way. Who will solve the troubles in the local area? Are you going to go or do you?"

Wei Shaonian stood up and said, "Emperor, as far as I know, since General Yun Rulongyun died in battle, the Northern Region and Western Frontier have become even more unscrupulous. In my humble opinion, it should be because the general led the army unfavorable. Although General Jiang is experienced and capable of leading the army, he is old in the end."

When Ji Xiu heard the three words "Yun Rulong", he raised his eyebrows slightly, but his expression still did not change. He asked, "Who is Lord Yiwei's opinion, what should the Han and Tang dynasties be like now?"

Wei Shaonian said: "I dare not take the opinions, I can only say that they are superficial ideas. The northwest border can hold on for more than three months. The most urgent task should be to put aside the opinions of the door and find a commander of the three armed forces who can lead the army to fight in the fastest way to assist General Jiang. Only in this way can the crisis be solved."

Ji Xiu nodded and said, "Wei Aiqing's words are reasonable. Can other Qing families have good candidates?"

Everyone shook their heads and said nothing. General Jiang joined the army at a young age and has made great achievements for decades. He is especially good at defending the city, discussing character, qualifications, and military industry. Nowadays, there is no one in the Han and Tang dynasties. Even the famous generals among the Seven Heroes of the Capital were only the younger generations of General Jiang. Only Yun Rulong, who suddenly returned ten years ago, could be compared with General Jiang in his fame.

But Yun Rulong just relied on his outstanding martial arts and used his light sword skills to capture the heads of the enemy generals in the chaos. Not to mention that he was taking things out of his pocket, but it was not very difficult.

If we talk about the understanding of battle formations and the method of leading the army to train the army, we are naturally not as good as General Jiang. However, the morale led by the leader is unparalleled in the world. Even General Jiang himself admitted that he is not as good as Yun Rulong in this regard.

Since this time the Western and Northern Territory invaded the border, even the old general Jiang struggled to defend the border, it is probably difficult to find anyone in the world who can solve the border war.

Ji Xiu knew in his heart how difficult it would be to find this person, so he waved his hand and said, "Let's retreat, let's discuss this matter later."

The people in Wuji Hall dispersed like birds and beasts, and only Wei Shaonian and Ruan Buyi were still standing in the court, as if waiting for something.

After the person was exposed, Ji Xiucai asked, "Wei Aiqing, teacher, what else do you have to report? I am too reserved to speak here. Let's go to the Imperial Garden with me. Several camellias were sent to southern Yunnan. One of the three heroes has bloomed, and one of the Eight Immortals crossing the sea is already in bud. You might as well go and have a look together."

After leaving the Wuji Hall and reaching the Imperial Garden, the person who served the emperor could naturally not be the eunuch of the Sili in the court. Zhang Taisui was silently followed by the emperor. Ruan Buyi and Wei Shaonian walked side by side with tacit understanding half a step behind Zhang Taisui.

Ji Xiu didn't say anything, but he was walking here and looking there as if he was really visiting the imperial garden. Until he walked to a pavilion, there were already arrangements for flower tea and snacks in the pavilion. The four palace maids stood in four directions, holding teaspoons in their hands and fiddling with tea leaves.

As the emperor, Ji Xiu naturally took the lead in sitting on the main seat of the pavilion. Without the emperor's orders, Ruan Buyi and Wei Shaonian could only stand aside obediently and dare not sit down easily, even if Ruan Buyi was the emperor's former teacher, it would not be possible.

Ji Xiu poured three cups of tea himself. Although Zhang Taisui was famous for his poison, he was always a eunuch serving the emperor. He could not sit with the emperor and the ministers of the current dynasty according to Ji Xiu's own "Han and Tang Law" or the previous regulations of the Han and Tang dynasties. The three cups of tea were steaming hot and pushed to a position by Ji Xiu. Ji Xiu said: "Teacher, Lord Wei, please sit down. There is no high or low today, just treat it as an ordinary friend and there is no emperor here."

"No." Wei Shaonian and Ruan Buyi bowed together before sitting in front of the teacup.

As the emperor, Ji Xiu could speak like this, but Ruan Buyi and Wei Shaonian could not help but think that Ji Xiu really didn't take the emperor's airs and could speak with no distinction between the emperor.

None of the four people spoke, Zhang Taisui simply squinted his eyes and calmed down. Ji Xiu drank a cup of tea and said, "Teacher, I miss you didn't become an emperor back then. All my brothers were there. I can pick up weapons with them and rush to the battlefield to rush to the battlefield. The seven brothers handed their backs to the others, and kept slashing with the Tang sword in their hands. Whether they could survive or die in the enemy formation, they wouldn't be as frustrated as they are now."

Ruan Buyi said: "It's a pity that fate is so good that the dead are gone. The emperor still asks to express his grief. You and I will carry the Han and Tang dynasties and have to look forward. I should think about how to repel the coalition forces in the Western Xinjiang and Northern Territories. We can't think about so much about the rest now."

Ji Xiu asked in confusion: "I think I have had some clever plan when I listen to the teacher's words?"

Wei Shaonian said: "Your Majesty, Lord Ruan and I are probably thinking the same thing, but I don't know if the emperor is willing to give up."

Ji Xiu held a small and exquisite teacup and turned it between his fingers. The teacup was made of jade, and the green tea soup was even more transparent, as if there was water flowing in the jade. He was doing this in his hand, but Ji Xiu's eyes were staring at Wei Shaonian, as if he wanted to see through the young pillar and the thoughts of the people in the future court.

After being silent for a while, Ji Xiu said, "I'm sorry, but I'm not bad."
