Returning after three years of reincarnation in the world of martial arts

Yuan Miaoyu looked him up and down carefully, and saw that there was really no wound on his body, so she breathed a sigh of relief, and comforted softly: "The world is big, there must be many masters, besides, they are standing on the opposite side of us, if you don't kill them , they will not let us go, they deserve to die!”

Li Zhongwu looked at her, smiled slightly, nodded, and then looked at the officials outside the palace gate.

When the officials outside the palace gate saw Li Zhongwu looking over, their expressions changed slightly.

A military general standing in the front suddenly knelt down on the ground, touched his forehead to the ground, and shouted: "Long live my emperor!"

Seeing this, the other ministers all knelt on the ground as if they had just woken up from a dream, shouting one after another: "Long live my emperor!"

Yuan Miaoyu heard the sound and looked over, and saw that the officials outside the hall had already knelt on the ground. Except for the guard in charge of maintaining order, who knelt on one knee, everyone else knelt on both knees. No one dared to raise their heads, looking very respectful.

A mocking smile appeared on the corner of Yuan Miaoyu's mouth, she did not forget that when Yang Xiaojie and Cui Boyao forced her to abdicate just now, none of these ministers stood up to defend her.

Now that Yang Xiaojie and Cui Boyao are both dead, do these people know how to shout "Long live my emperor"?

Yuan Miaoyu's eyes suddenly fixed on Li Fufeng, the right minister who was the head of civil servants.

Li Fufeng is about [-] years old, with gray beard and hair, thin body and thin face.

Yuan Miaoyu stared at Li Fufeng for a moment, then suddenly said in a deep voice: "Master Right! I just found out today that you have a serious mouth disease, which is so serious that you can't speak, if that's the case, you should tell your old age and return to your hometown!" "

All the ministers were silent.

No one stood up to speak for Li Fufeng.

No one naively believed that Li Fufeng really suffered from a mouth disease.

Everyone is not stupid, they all know that Yuan Miaoyu settled accounts after the autumn, obviously very dissatisfied with Li Fufeng, who is the right minister, just now when Yang Xiaojie and Cui Boyao forced the palace, Li Fufeng, as the head of civil servants, did not say a word.

Who dares to speak for Li Fufeng at this time?
One must know that none of their courtiers were on Yuan Miaoyu's side just now, so they spoke up for Li Fufeng at this time, was it because they were afraid that Yuan Miaoyu would not notice him?Want to retire with Li Fufeng and return home?
Li Fufeng heard Yuan Miaoyu's will, and after two or three seconds of silence, he slowly raised his head, his eyes still looking at the ground, raised his hands, trembling, and slowly took off the official hat on his head and put it on the ground. He went down and kowtowed, then slowly got up, bowed his waist, and stepped back step by step.

Because Yuan Miaoyu said just now that he had already suffered from a mouth disease and reached the point where he could not speak, Li Fufeng did not dare to say a word.

There was no sound outside the gate of the hall, only the sound of Li Fufeng's footsteps slowly retreating.

No one dared to look up.

Yuan Miaoyu's gaze turned to Hu Tenglin, the captain of the generals.

As a Taiwei, Hu Tenglin was also a military commander before, even if his cultivation level was not as good as that of the chief enshrined Cui Boyao, it would not be much worse.

But just now Hu Tenglin didn't stand up and say a word for her, the new emperor.

This made Yuan Miaoyu's eyes flash with a chill, the head of civil servants was not on her side, although she was angry, she didn't feel any killing intent in her heart.

Because she believes that generals are the solid foundation of Dayan.

As for the right side?

It sounds like an extremely human minister, but all the rights of the right minister are granted by her, the emperor. As long as she wants, she can change a few right ministers a year, and the rule of Dayan will not be overthrown. Influence.

But the Taiwei, the head of the generals, is not on her side, so it is not something she can tolerate.

Only because the Taiwei has the right to mobilize troops and establish a new king.

and so……

Yuan Miaoyu stared coldly at Hu Tenglin outside the hall, and said in a cold voice: "Come here! Take off Hu Tenglin's armor! Put Hu Tenglin into the prison! If he resists, he will be executed on the spot!"

Several Ouchi guards quickly stepped forward and approached Hu Tenglin.

Hu Tenglin suddenly raised his head, looking at Yuan Miaoyu with bright eyes, his whole body was full of momentum, like a lion ready to go.

Seeing this, Li Zhongwu took a step closer to Yuan Miaoyu with his hands behind his back, and looked at Hu Tenglin with a half-smile.

As soon as Hu Tenglin's eyes met Li Zhongwu's, the expression on his face froze instantly. The moment his eyes met Li Zhongwu's, the light in Hu Tenglin's eyes dimmed.

The powerful aura all over his body also dissipated in an instant. With a wry smile, he lowered his head helplessly.

Yang Xiaojie and Cui Boyao joined forces just now, and even if he didn't insist on two or three moves in the hands of Li Zhongwu, no matter how conceited Hu Tenglin is, he dare not think that he is stronger than the combination of Yang Xiaojie and Cui Boyao.

Several inner guards strode up to Hu Tenglin, two of them aimed their guns at Hu Tenglin's forehead, and the other two inner guards stepped forward and silently removed the armor from Hu Tenglin's body.

None of the officials outside the palace gate dared to intercede.

Right Prime Minister was just forced to return to his hometown, and now the Taiwei has also been dismissed from office and is going to be thrown into prison. Everyone can feel the extent of Yuan Miaoyu's anger.

At this moment, all the ministers only hoped that after Yuan Miaoyu dismissed Taiwei Hu Tenglin, the anger in her heart would calm down and stop targeting others.

Therefore, no one pleaded for Hu Tenglin at this time.

Just now Yuan Miaoyu was almost forced to abdicate by Yang Xiaojie and Cui Boyao, she was angry at this moment, everyone could understand.

Don't let her get rid of the anger in her heart as soon as possible, all of them will feel uneasy.

This is like in ancient times, in some superstitious places, because the river was often flooded, everyone in the village or village could do nothing, but they were all afraid of the river flooding again, so everyone defaulted to choosing one person to sacrifice to the river god every year.

As for the person who was sacrificed, was it miserable?
Even though everyone knew that it was miserable, but in order to make themselves more at ease, as long as the person being sacrificed was not themselves or their family members, it was acceptable.

When several big internal guards escorted Taiwei Hu Tenglin down, Yuan Miaoyu suddenly said coldly: "Hu Tenglin, if you dare to rely on your cultivation and escape halfway, I will order you to be punished!"

Hu Tenglin paused for a moment, smiled wryly again, and raised his voice to reply: "The guilty minister dare not!"

After Hu Tenglin was escorted away, Yuan Miaoyu's eyes turned to the front ranks of generals.

Sneered: "Shangshu of the Ministry of War, General Zhengdong, General Zhengxi, General Wuwei..."

After a pause, she finally didn't read other general's official positions, "Clean up and go to the front line! Go to the front line now, you have no right to command the troops, you are only allowed to bring a hundred guards to fight the enemy, survive a hundred battles, Fang You can go back to Beijing, and if you surrender to the enemy, you will be executed everywhere!"

Is she crazy?

The ministers outside the hall finally got a little commotion, because they felt that if things went on like this, the generals would almost have no leader, and the Taiwei was dismissed. Now even the Minister of the Ministry of War and several most prestigious generals have been demoted to the front line to go into battle. To kill the enemy, you have to survive a hundred battles before you can come back.

So, how many reputable generals are left in Tianque City?
The military is different from the civil service. The military general wants to unify the military power below, and his cultivation level is not the first priority. What is most needed is the prestige in the army.

Otherwise, they will not be able to suppress the arrogant soldiers below.

Of course, this is not a truth that everyone understands. For example, there are many people in the civil servant camp showing joy at this time, thinking that the military commander's vitality has been seriously injured this time, and the court will be dominated by their civil servants in the future.

These people didn't think about the fact that once there are no generals with sufficient prestige and qualifications in the general camp, the army below will become very dangerous, and the stability of the entire country may have problems.

Li Zhongwu looked at Yuan Miaoyu in surprise.

Does she feel a little reckless for doing this?

After demoting so many generals at once, isn't she afraid that she won't be able to control the army below?
"Did you strike too hard this time?"

He bundled his voice into a thread, and reminded Yuan Miaoyu with the skill of sound transmission.

Only Yuan Miaoyu could hear this sentence, and no one else heard a single word.

Yuan Miaoyu glanced at Li Zhongwu and shook her head slightly.

Seeing her attitude, Li Zhongwu didn't continue to persuade her.

After all, she is the emperor, and he doesn't want to do it for her.

What's more, what he should remind, has already been reminded, since she still insists on doing this, then he can only choose to believe that she has reasons for doing so and the means to deal with the aftermath.

……

Finally retreated.

Yuan Miaoyu came to the imperial garden, and Li Zhongwu walked along with his hands behind his back at a leisurely pace, followed by some guards and court ladies a little far behind.

While admiring the flowers and plants along the way, Li Zhongwu said casually: "I don't know much about power and tactics, but I heard that governing a big country is like cooking a small fish. Many things can't be rushed. You have to take your time and simmer slowly." , you were so radical just now, and you demoted so many people in one go, aren't you afraid of problems down below?"

Yuan Miaoyu's expression was much more relaxed than before. Hearing this, she glanced at Li Zhongwu next to her, and said with a smile: "You are right, it is true that governing a big country is like cooking a small fish, but... you should not Do you cook? Don’t you know that many dishes need to be boiled with a high fire before the soup is simmered?"

Li Zhongwu was startled, he learned to cook since he was a child.

He just didn't think of it just now.

Yuan Miaoyu also said: "Since ancient times, there has always been one emperor and one courtier. As a king, if he does not have a group of ministers who are personally selected by himself, he will be restrained in doing anything, but now all the ministers in the court, They are all left by my father.

I'm just worried that I can't find any reason to demote some people!There happened to be such a perfect reason today, and all the courtiers would think that I was a little more aggressive today, which is understandable and normal. If I don’t seize this good opportunity, I will find another opportunity in the future to demote so many ministers at once. up. "

Li Zhongwu looked at her profile in surprise.

I didn't expect that she would have such considerations when she demoted so many ministers at once?

After thinking for a while, he asked a question, "I understand your consideration, but if you imprison the Taiwei, the Minister of the Ministry of War and several generals at once, and demote the officials, are you not afraid that you will not be able to control the army?"

Yuan Miaoyu stopped, turned to face Li Zhongwu, and said with a smile, "If it was other time, if I did this, the situation you were worried about might appear, but it is different now."

Li Zhongwu was puzzled, "What's the difference?"

Yuan Miaoyu; "Wartime!"

After a pause, she explained softly: "Now is the critical period when the Shenfeng Kingdom Alien Beast Legion aggressively invades our Dayan. This battle will definitely attract the attention of everyone in Dayan! Moreover, this battle can also temporarily Suppress all the contradictions in the country. In addition, if this battle continues, there will be a group of generals who will make great achievements and stand out. I have the time to promote a group of generals who are able to fight and are willing to be loyal to me. ! After this battle is over, the entire military will be completely under my control!"

Li Zhongwu felt that the tone of her last sentence was a bit wrong, and asked suspiciously: "What do you mean? You won't let this war end until you have full control over the military?"

Yuan Miaoyu chuckled, hummed lightly, and said in a low voice: "I have just ascended the throne, and this battle is actually a very good opportunity for me. I can take advantage of this war to clean up all the troubles in the country. Noise, while dispatching troops and raising food and supplies, I will sort out the entire officialdom and the military of Dayan. Wherever my will is not obeyed, I will implement military control there. As long as I am undefeated in this battle, then ...When the war is over, my imperial power will be secure!"

Li Zhongwu: "..."

At this moment, he really felt that he didn't understand power.

Just now Yuan Miaoyu demoted so many senior officials at once, he thought she was impulsive, but now it seems that when she just demoted those officials, she was actually very calm.

In such a short time just now, she has already considered so much and so far.

He suddenly didn't worry much about whether she could secure the throne.

She is so proficient in power tactics, and she occupies the righteousness brought by the throne, can those civil servants and generals in the court be able to stop her various methods?
At this moment, Lan Ying rushed over, bowed her head and reported: "Your Majesty, there is news from Tianqiwei that Tao Xun, the son of Tao's parents, went to see Cui Boyao last night, and after meeting Cui Boyao, Tao Xun returned home Not long after arriving at home, he made an encrypted call to his father-in-law, the head of the Second Army of Northern Xinjiang. The content of the call is unknown, but I suspect that Tao Xun may have ulterior motives in making an encrypted call to the head of the Second Army at this time. !"

Yuan Miaoyu sneered, and said to Li Zhongwu: "Look, you said that in such a country, if I don't sort it out from top to bottom, can it work?"

Li Zhongwu sighed lightly and did not speak.

Yuan Miaoyu looked at Lan Ying and said calmly, "Lan Ying! Order the heaven to abandon the guard and closely monitor the movements of the commander of the Second Legion! If there is any act of treason, report it immediately!"

"Yes!"

Lan Ying bowed her head to receive the order, and when she was about to turn around and retreat, Yuan Miaoyu said again: "Also, give another order to the Second Army Corps! Let the army commander return to Beijing to report on his duties! The military and military affairs will be handed over to the two deputy army commanders!"

Lan Ying took the order again: "Yes! Your Majesty!"

Seeing that Yuan Miaoyu had no other intentions, Lan Ying left in a hurry. (end of this chapter)
