The emperor always wants to promise himself

Chapter 98
Fang Wuya looks to be in his 30s, with an ordinary appearance and heavy eyes. He doesn't look easy to get along with, but he is very steady.

Xiao Yu glanced at him: "Can the rebels in the city defense army be dealt with?"

Fang Wuya clasped his fists and said: "The last general has already cut down those who incited and bewitched the army's morale before. Now the people in the city guard army are united as one, but they are driven by His Majesty."

Xiao Yu nodded: "Okay, you performed well this time, and it happens that the position of commander is vacant, so you can go up to the next level."

"Thank you, Lord."

Fang Wuya didn't show much joy on his face, if Xiao Yu hadn't seen the light in his eyes, he almost thought he was not interested in promotion.

It seems that this person is very good at hiding emotions.

Xiao Yu silently wrote down this person, waved his hand to let him go down, and called other people's names.

Basically, the officials who stood on the prince's side before were all seriously dismissed by Xiao Yu and sentenced to exile, and those who were not serious were relegated one after another, leaving many official positions vacant for a while.

Xiao Yu didn't fill these vacancies immediately, but said: "There are vacancies in the court, those with talent and virtue will fill them, and those with talent and no virtue will not be used. Severity, relegation and dismissal."

After Xiao Yu's words fell, the Prime Minister frowned and asked, "How do you know that an official has a bad character?"

"That's right, what about the officials in private, how can His Majesty and the prince know?"

Others also echoed one after another, somewhat feeling a little guilty.

Xiao Yu stood up, looked around at the crowd, and waited until they had said enough, then said calmly: "This question is what this king will talk about next. This king wants to set up a Xunji driver to be responsible for supervising and inspecting officials. It is under the control of the six departments and the four princes, and directly belongs to your majesty and this king."

"This--"

"My lord, I'm afraid this is inappropriate? Then don't they have great power? What if they collude with each other and secretly frame officials—"

Xiao Yu raised his hand to suppress their objections, "Since the king dared to raise it, he naturally thought of a check and balance strategy. The leader of the search engine division will be divided into left and right, and each will lead a team to check and balance each other, supervise each other, and exercise power cross-wise. At the same time, it is also in charge of patrolling the palace."

After the words fell, everyone was stunned for a moment, and then their expressions became strange. Isn't this just because they want to install their own people in the palace?

The so-called directly belonging to His Majesty and the Regent, probably only belongs to the Regent, right?
Some people wanted to raise objections as soon as they moved their lips, but Xiao Yu suddenly changed the subject: "This king has already discussed this matter with His Majesty, and His Majesty agreed. After a few days, he will select suitable candidates from the Imperial Forest Army and the City Guard Army." candidates."

Some people were still dissatisfied and said: "My lord, I still feel that something is wrong. Setting up a new organization is not a trivial matter. We should make plans after discussing with the ministers, otherwise we may not be able to convince the public."

Xiao Yu chuckled lightly: "Isn't this king discussing with you? Don't worry, my lord. You can also supervise the people who are looking for the driver. If you find that they are engaging in malpractice for personal gain, you can report it to this king and His Majesty in time. This king and His Majesty Your Majesty will deal with it fairly."

"Is that not enough?"

Xiao Yu's eyes were slightly cold, and the Prime Minister thought for a moment, seeing that the lord was about to speak up, he hurriedly smoothed things over and said: "Since His Majesty has made up his mind, it's all right. If the job search is done, it will be a good thing for the court. It is very good for His Majesty to promptly uncover corrupt officials."

Xiao Yu turned to look at the Prime Minister, nodded and said, "It's the Prime Minister who understands justice."

The prime minister chuckled, "My lord is too famous."

Ding Guogong also said: "The veteran has no objection."

The arm couldn't twist the thigh, and everyone saw that the prime minister and Ding Guogong agreed, and it was useless for them to object, so they could only pinch their noses and admit it.

So the matter of looking for the driver was settled.

After that, Xiao Yu discussed some trivial matters with them, and three hours passed before they knew it.

Seeing that the sky outside was getting darker, Xiao Yu also said that he was tired, got up and said to everyone: "That's the end of today, you adults have worked hard, please go back."

"I'm waiting to retire."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief as if they were relieved, and turned around to leave the imperial study room.

Duke Ding was at the end, walking very slowly. Xiao Yu's eyes flashed when he saw this, and he walked a little closer. The two of them stood side by side on the steps in front of the imperial study, looking at the heavy palace walls not far away.

Zhou Xi watched from behind, but did not dare to step forward.

Xiao Yu didn't speak immediately, she was waiting for Duke Ding to speak.

Duke Ding couldn't help laughing and said: "My lord is really better than blue, you are more wild than your father."

"Wildness?" Xiao Yu turned his head to look at Duke Ding: "Why did the Duke say that?"

Ding Guogong put his hands behind his back and sighed: "Although your father is a hero all his life, he is very courageous and ambitious, but he likes to find some high-sounding reasons for himself. Many times, he is not as straightforward as you. He lives in bondage. The king, and you—jumped out of this bondage, and from this point alone, you are much stronger than your father."

Xiao Yu shook his head with a smile: "Who can really break free while living in this world? It's just that the things that are bound are different. He is burdened by power and fame, and he can't break free. I don't care about those, I just want to be my , good or bad, let’s go and see.”

Duke Ding was stunned, then clapped his hands and smiled: "You are right, you did a good job today, and now the civil and military forces of the entire court have learned the methods of the little regent, and the entire court will be applauded by you in the future. "

Xiao Yu raised her plain white hand, with a proud light in her eyes: "My hand is small, but it can't hold so many people."

"Oh?" Duke Ding narrowed his eyes, "How much can you hold?"

Xiao Yu slowly retracted his fingers, turning his palm into a fist, with a stern smile on his lips, and his voice was quiet: "As many people as I use, pretend to be as many as possible."

Duke Ding moved closer, looked straight into Xiao Yu's eyes, and asked in a voice that only two people could hear: "Then what can't be used for you?"

Xiao Yu didn't dodge or evade, and looked at Ding Guogong firmly with his eyes, "Keep those who can be kept, and those who can't - kill them, cut the weeds and eradicate the roots."

After she finished speaking, she curled her lips and smiled, her eyes were brighter than the stars in the sky, filled with ambition and ruthlessness, which made Duke Ding's heart tighten.

"It's getting dark, the Duke should go back."

Xiao Yu straightened up, her expression returned to normal, as if the stern and gloomy person just now was not her.

Ding Guogong was amazed at her face-changing skills, and felt more and more satisfied, "Hahahaha, okay, the old minister will retire first, and the prince will take care."

Seeing Duke Ding laughing and walking away, the smile on Xiao Yu's lips disappeared immediately. She looked at Duke Ding's back expressionlessly, and said softly, "Old fox."

If I show a little cowardice, I am afraid that he will immediately re-evaluate his own value, I must shock him, otherwise he will just think about it.
