When I just got divorced, I was overheard

Chapter 438: The first fire after taking office
Li Xiuzhu's words made people feel numb. This was a big move.

But this right and glory makes people's hearts move just by listening to it.

But it is uncertain whether the person responsible for the wrong criticism is true. Although rights are good, it is true to enjoy them with a life.

For a moment, everyone looked at me and I looked at you, but no one asked for help.

At this moment, Wu'an Lord Bai Zhan took a step forward and said, "If no one in the general group is willing to take on this important task, I, the minister, Bai Zhan is willing to give it a try."

Li Xiuzhu nodded and said, "Although this job is thankless, it is a good official position for those who want to do something for the people and the army."

"If there is no one to compete, then Mr. Wu An is the only one."

"The Censor will send someone out as soon as possible. If there is no one on the civil service side, then we can wait until Prime Minister Fu is ready and let Prime Minister Fu appoint him."

Li Xiuzhu thought that no one would speak, but at this moment, an old minister stood up.

"Your Majesty, I would like to take one of these positions."

Li Xiuzhu glanced at the speaker and nodded.

"Since Cao Sikong has this idea, we have no reason not to support it, so I'll count you among them."

"Yu Shijian, I'll give you three days."

"That's all I have to say for the time being. Next, if you have your own ideas, please tell me."

Li Xiuzhu stepped aside and stood still.

At this moment, the queen mother above said: "I heard that the imperial doctor said that the Duke has a bad stomach and should not stand for a long time. Please come and give me a seat."

Li Xiuzhu was stunned for a moment, then smiled slightly.

Sure enough, the older ones will be fond of others, while the younger ones will be more supportive.

Li Xiuzhu felt much more comfortable after sitting down. One of the reasons why he was unwilling to go to court was that he stood for too long.

Of course there are many other points, but in the future he will definitely spend most of his time in court, so he can do whatever he feels comfortable with.

Ruan Wenjun waited for Li Xiuzhu to sit down and continued: "Remember it, the regent will have a seat at the court from now on, don't forget it."

Wang Defa hurriedly said: "Yes, empress!"

"Okay, officials, let's continue."

The officials below had already looked at each other with dissatisfaction, as if no one was still sick.

But although they were dissatisfied, no one dared to speak.

Now that Li Xiuzhu is the regent, he is also a popular person in front of the Queen Mother and the Queen. Didn't you see that the Queen and Queen Mother spoke for Li Xiuzhu?

Yes, people are originally a family, one is a sister-in-law, and the other is a mother-in-law.

Therefore, although everyone was dissatisfied, they still pretended not to hear.

At this time, the Minister of War on the side stood up and said: "The Queen Mother, Queen, I have received news. Dasheng Pass has received news. Quan Rong has begun to gather troops outside Dasheng Pass. It seems that he wants to get involved in the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun."

Suddenly, all the civil and military eyes in the court were looking at the Minister of War, including Li Xiuzhu.

At this time, Ruan Wenjun and Xiao Rongyu were a little panicked and looked at Li Xiuzhu at a loss.

They can't do it when they have such a big decision waiting for them when they come to court.

However, compared to the two of them, Li Xiuzhu was very calm.

Quanrong probably knew that two emperors had died in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and there was no new emperor to take over, so they launched an attack.

Li Xiuzhu was sure that Quanrong was not the first, nor the last.

As if sensing the panic of the owner of the two glances above, Li Xiuzhu looked back and smiled at the two of them.

That calm demeanor immediately made the two of them feel at ease.Ruan Wenjun even said: "This palace and the queen do not dare to speak lightly about national matters. We should let the regent make his decision."

Li Xiuzhu nodded, did not refuse, and said: "Quin Rong sent troops just to see if we are in chaos, and even if the mentality of the officials in the court is stable."

"So we must stabilize our mentality at this time."

"But Quanrong still has to be careful when sending troops. Although there are not too few guards at Dasheng Pass, there are still strong passes that can be defended."

"But compared to Quanrong's military strength, it's not a sure win."

"General, there is no room for failure in the Great Victory Pass. I give you [-] troops and horses, but are you confident that you can defend the Great Victory Pass?"

Dasheng Pass also had [-] to [-] soldiers and horses, so Luo Shicheng thought about it and nodded.

"If we just defend the city, I can guarantee a great victory."

Li Xiuzhu nodded and continued: "Except for Dasheng Pass, the remaining places that may pose threats come from the west, and there is no room for error."

"The guards at Juyong Pass, Shanhaiguan Pass and Yanmen Pass can be sent to Datong Prefecture, Taiyuan Prefecture and Pingtao Prefecture."

"In addition, half of the troops overseeing the Grand Canal were sent to Bashu, [-] were divided at Jianmen Pass, and the rest guarded Chengdu Prefecture."

Upon hearing Li Xiuzhu's words, an official stood up and asked: "Your Majesty, if half of the people who oversee the Grand Canal are removed, what will happen to the supervisors?"

"If those untouchables are left unsupervised, they won't be able to build the Grand Canal in three years, let alone half a year. The supervisory troops cannot withdraw."

Hearing this, Li Xiuzhu tilted his head and looked at the speaker, and asked calmly: "Untouchable?"

At this moment, everyone knew that Li Xiuzhu was angry when he saw his expressionless face.

Even the person who spoke felt a little trembling in his heart.

Realizing that he had said something wrong, he quickly lowered his head and admitted his mistake and said, "I made a mistake."

Are you aware of your mistake now?What did you do early?He can blurt out the word "untouchable", which shows that he must be called like this on weekdays.

Li Xiuzhu said calmly: "If you make a mistake, you will be punished. Since you have admitted your mistake, then you can get twenty blackboards."

"Come here, pull this...sir down and give him twenty blows."

Li Xiuzhu didn't go to court very much, so he couldn't remember so many officials. He just focused on the officials of third rank and above.

"Your Majesty, I have realized my mistake. I beg your Majesty to spare my life."

"My lord..."

Seeing the person being dragged away, all the officials were immediately in danger.

At this time, Sun Jingyang, who had a relatively good relationship with Li Xiuzhu's family, couldn't help but plead: "Your Majesty, Mr. Cheng has already realized his mistake. Why don't you spare him once?"

Song Lian also said: "Yes, Your Majesty, Mr. Cheng is very conscientious in his work. It's not just an accidental slip of the tongue."

"And he is also worried about the country. If the prince insists on doing this, who among you will dare to speak in the future?"

Hearing this, Li Xiuzhu said unmoved: "First of all, those who are digging the Grand Canal are the people of the Zhou Dynasty, not the untouchables you call them."

"Being able to scream so naturally shows that he barks a lot on weekdays."

"If you don't take it seriously, I can only say how dare you? For hundreds of years, your ancestors were also what he called untouchables."

"You must know that water can carry a boat and also capsize it."

"Secondly, there were local problems with the excavation of the Grand Canal."

"Fu's assassination was related to someone's corruption on the Grand Canal and depriving people of food and money."

"In addition, after the death of the late emperor, the Grand Canal is no longer urgent, so I decided to suspend the excavation of the remaining two sections and set up an investigation department at the same time."
