Chapter 298
Imperial City, Imperial Study Room
The New Year's Eve is approaching, and it's time for the emperor to seal his pen again.

The important ministers waited quietly below.

I don't know how long it took before Emperor Changxing finished approving the last memorial, and handed the ink pen to the eunuch next to him, Changlu.

"Everyone," he rubbed his swollen forehead, and gestured towards the stacks of papers on the dragon case, "these papers are related to the country's foundation and people's livelihood next year. It will be implemented immediately after the new year, without delay."

"Observe the order." It's the old practice, and everyone in the Yushufang is not surprised at all.

Chang Lu immediately came over and delivered the notebook to the corresponding minister.

After all the big and small things were over, some ministers, such as the Ministry of Household Rites, turned and left after saluting, while Luo Ken, Minister of Industry, and Guan Yi, Minister of War, stayed behind.

Emperor Changxing frowned: "What else is going on with the Qing family?"

He has already sealed his pen, and is preparing to breathe a sigh of relief during the New Year, but these two days are still standing still.

I really can't wink!

The two ministers looked at each other, and Guan Yi took a step forward.

"Your Majesty, the Ministry of War has just received a good report from Baekje. Pingwa General Xiao Zhengyue led his troops to fight bravely a few days ago, and repelled the No. 13 large-scale landing of Japanese pirates, killing more than [-] enemies."

"The Japanese pirates were unable to attack for a long time, so they had to leave a large number of corpses and retreat in embarrassment."

Emperor Changxing nodded.

The Ministry of War has received such battle reports several times, and each time the content is similar.

Xiao Zheng is not tired of writing, he is tired of reading it.

It's just Japanese pirates, if not for their pirates who have repeatedly landed and plundered.Emperor Changxing didn't even bother to look at these island barbarians.

"Your Majesty," Luo Ken, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, stepped forward to salute, "Uncle Zhongyong has repeatedly defeated the Japanese pirates to show our country's prestige. It is indeed a great joy."

"His Royal Highness King Qi, who is also in Baekje, has always been thoughtful. After careful observation, he found something amiss. It seems that the pirates are planning something big."

third child?

Emperor Changxing couldn't help being a little more interested.

In the battle report sent back by Xiao Zheng, it was repeatedly mentioned that Chen Xiuzhu personally led the troops into battle.

In the battle report, it was written in black and white that Prince Qi was the first to take the lead and was extremely brave. He was bloody and invincible in every battle, as if the god of war descended to earth.

When the pirates saw him, they all ran away...

Between the lines, Xiao Zheng was faintly lamenting that Prince Qi has the demeanor of Yun Chui, the founder of the country.

The son grows up, and the father has a bright face.

Emperor Changxing couldn't help asking: "What did the third child find?"

Luo Ken said so.

"Your Majesty, Baekje is an indispensable barrier to the east of Yunchui. The Japanese pirates are the most greedy. As long as they gain a firm foothold on the peninsula, they will never stop their expansion."

He glanced at the minister of the Ministry of War next to him, "After discussing with Minister Guan, I think that Yun Chui needs to be more vigilant. It is best to set up the battlefield outside the country and continue to send troops to support Baekje to drive out the Japanese pirates. It is the best policy."

At first, Emperor Changxing listened patiently.

However, as soon as Luo Ken said that he would continue to send troops, Qian Liang, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, gritted his teeth on Emperor Changxing's head.

"The two Qings are right. It's just that I have already sealed my pen to prepare for the new year..." He paused, "Well, you go back and draw up the papers first, and then submit them for discussion after the new year begins."

After speaking, Emperor Changxing was about to get up and leave.

Guan Yi quickly said, "Your Majesty, except Baekje, the western fortress..."

"We'll talk about it in the new year, we'll talk about it in the new year." Emperor Changxing hurried out of the imperial study with Chang Lu without any reason.

While walking, he shook his head and muttered, "This Guan Yi is getting more and more confused."

The post roads on the east-west line earlier have been reopened, and various support and supplies have also been sent to the fortress.Now there are nothing more than trivial matters in the west, and they are bothering him.

What on earth does the minister of the Ministry of War do?

Guan Yi suffocated, and had no choice but to silently swallow the news that "four major generals died in battle in the Duke of Zhen Guo's Mansion".

Return to Shangshu Mansion.

The mansion is covered with red festoons inside and out, and everyone is beaming.

Guan Yi turned a blind eye and went straight into the study.

After closing the doors and windows and strictly prohibiting anyone from approaching, he opened the note given by Emperor Changxing when he sealed the pen.

"Yunchui Empire Local Garrison Reform Method"

As soon as he saw the title, Guan Yi frowned deeply.

There are thirty counties in Yunchui, and each county has its own county lieutenant and local garrison.

In many places, the garrison troops are bloated and have mediocre combat power. It can be said that they are useless except to eat imperial food.

Like Misty County.

In this civil unrest, the fog guards hardly played any role.The county guard and the county lieutenant's mansion were immediately breached by the rioters.The two were even hanged directly outside the gate...

It can be said that there is no one before or after.

Emperor Changxing has been very dissatisfied with this for a long time, and has been intending to revoke part of it.He even discussed with the Ministry of War several times about Juxiu's restructuring plan.

Now that the four counties in the west have regained their composure, Emperor Changxing simply expressed his own ideas before closing the pen, without giving the ministers any room for discussion.

It can be described as simple and rude.

But it also shows his determination to reform.

Open the folder.

Guan Yi raised his eyes, and everywhere he looked was a bunch of "revocation".

Soon he saw the point.

The original thirty local garrison troops were withdrawn, abolished, and finally reorganized into ten new garrison troops.The counties under its jurisdiction were also re-divided and expanded.

As for the name of the new lieutenant, Guan Yi frowned.

Baihua Jiang Tianhou, Xiyu Wu Chenguang, Canglan Mo Canghai, Dingxi Xia Bangwei, Pinghai...

The more I look at Guan Yi, the more tired I feel.

He has always been displeased with Xingluo legions independent of the Ministry of War, but it is a pity that he still has nothing to do with them.

Even the Ministry of War just wanted a method of making a telescope, which was repeatedly rejected.Let Guan Yi lose face.

And almost all of these new county lieutenants have fought side by side with the Starfall Legion...

New Year is coming soon.

The common people were all smiles, they danced dragons and lions and went to the temple fair; princes and princes chatted happily, and the flower boats in the Liyuan listened to ditties.

It can be said that apart from the white banners hanging up in the Zhen Guogong Mansion in Yong'an Hutong, the whole Xingji City is peaceful and happy, and there are scenes of living and working in peace and prosperity everywhere.

The empress picks carefully and picks slowly, and some time ago finally re-selected a famous lady from the seventh prince Chen Xiujian as his wife.

The second day of the new year is a day of great joy.

Welcome relatives, red makeup ten miles.

Just as Chen Xiujian sent the bride into the bridal chamber, he was hurriedly called out to receive the orders.

"What's the purpose at this time?" He asked his long history.

The elder Chang Shi shook his head, "Forgive me, Your Highness, the angel came so suddenly, and the old minister still couldn't get any specific news."

"However." He looked around, "According to the inference of the old minister, His Majesty is very likely to be promoted to the title of His Highness."

I just don't know whether it is the county king or the prince.

"Just be promoted to noble." Chen Xiujian blushed even more when he heard it.

When we arrived at the front yard, the main hall was crowded with onlookers at some point.

Chen Xiujian glanced at it.

Except for King Qi who was in Baekje, his brothers were all in the crowd, looking at him with inexplicable expressions.

I don't know whether it's envy or jealousy in my eyes.

Chen Xiujian's heart was even more determined.

Sure enough, the eunuch took out the bright yellow imperial decree and read it out in a high-pitched voice. Amid the congratulations of double happiness from all the guests, Chen Xiujian became the fourth prince.

King Ming!
