Start with the emperor system and build an immortal dynasty

Chapter 59 Shangguan Fei's Report
After visiting the Royal Bank in Xia Tian, ​​let the carriage drive towards Princess Jingle's mansion.

The literary exam will end this afternoon, and the results will not be announced until a few days later.

Now is not the right time to go to Wanhualou to meet the plum blossom girl.

To be honest, I haven't seen her for a few days, but Xia Tian still misses Liu Mei's plump figure a little bit.

Among his women, Concubine Shu is the one who surpasses Liu Mei in stature and ability.

Princess Jingle Mansion.

Xiao Xuanzi got down from the carriage and asked the guard at the door: "Is Princess Jingle in the mansion?"

"Princess Jingle went on a long trip yesterday."

Xiao Xuanzi returned to the carriage: "Your Majesty, Princess Jingle is not at the residence."

"Then go back to the palace."

Just after returning to the palace, a court lady found him and said that the queen mother had something to look for him.

Xia Tian hastily arrived at the Compassionate Palace.

"What happened to the queen mother?"

Seeing him coming in, Chai Jing screened the palace lady out.

"Tian'er, the queen mother feels a stream of air in her body."

Xia Tian was stunned when she heard her words: "So fast? It seems that the cultivation aptitude of the queen mother is very good."

Chai Jing had a happy expression on her face. She had been watching the Great Xia Emperor Jue yesterday, and she had already memorized everything in her mind.

When she was sleeping, she was silently reciting the Great Xia Emperor Jue, and when she woke up in the morning, she felt a stream of air in her body.

Not only that, but she felt that her body was much lighter than before.

Xia Tian told her about her realm, and found that she was already a second-rate martial artist, and her progress was rapid.

The speed of normal people's practice mainly depends on: the qualifications and skills of the practitioner.

Chai Jing's cultivation aptitude should be very good, otherwise how could she be so fast.

Xia stayed in the Mercy Palace for a while, and then went to Liangfei Palace to see Zhou Yurou.

After lunch at Concubine Liang's Palace at noon, Xia Tian returned to the imperial study to deal with government affairs in the afternoon.

"Your Majesty, Shangguan Shangshu asks to see you."

"Let him in."

Shangguan Chengye walked into the imperial study room: "I pay my respects to Your Majesty."

"Shangguan Aiqing doesn't need to be polite, what can I do for you?"

"Your Majesty, just now General Guo asked me for a military salary."

Xia Tian: "Shangguan Aiqing is talking about the increase in the salaries of soldiers, right? That's my order, just pay them the military salary according to my order."

Shangguan Chengye: "Is the salary of your majesty's officers and soldiers increased too much? Qinglongwei has an army of [-]."

The salaries of soldiers increased by [-]%, and the salaries of generals increased by about [-]%.

Coupled with the increase in food, the monthly expenditure has increased by nearly half.

That's a few hundred thousand taels of silver.

Xia Tian smiled and said: "Shangguan Aiqing, Qinglongwei is the only army that I can mobilize. If there is anything, they need to work for the court, and their previous salary is too small, barely enough to support their family."

Shangguan Chengye didn't say anything, but he spent a few hundred thousand taels of silver more every month, and he felt a little pain in his heart, after all, the national treasury is not sufficient now.

"Your Majesty, Lord Shangguan is back."

A little eunuch walked in and said respectfully.

Xia Tian's face brightened: "Quickly invite Shangguan Aiqing to come in."

"Your Majesty, I will take my leave first."

Shangguan Chengye knew that Xia Tian and Shangguan Fei had something to say later, so it was not convenient for him to be here.

After all, Shangguan Fei was in charge of Wuyingwei Intelligence Agency.

After Shangguan Chengye walked out, Shangguan Fei walked in, full of dust.

"Your Majesty, Shangguanfei, pays homage to His Majesty."

Xia Tian smiled: "You don't need to be too polite, Xiao Xuanzi will give you a seat."

Shangguan Fei had just entered the capital, and immediately came to the palace.

"Your Majesty, this is what happened after I went to Beiyang County and Beihuang County."

Shangguan Fei took out a memorial and handed it to Xiao Xuanzi.

Xia Tian opened it and looked at it. The memorial has a lot of content and is written in great detail.

This time Shangguan Fei not only eradicated the stronghold of Tianhuo Sect, but also developed the Wuyingwei in the north, otherwise he would have returned long ago.

"How is the life of the local people in Beiyang County and Beihuang County?"

Shangguan Fei was stunned, and hurriedly replied: "The lives of the people in the two places are not bad."

Xia Tian narrowed his eyes slightly, and he noticed the slight change in Shangguan Fei's expression just now.

"Shangguan Fei, do you know what is the crime of deceiving the emperor?"

Shangguan Fei was so frightened that he hurriedly stood up from his chair and knelt down on the ground: "Your Majesty, forgive me, I said that I am afraid that Your Majesty will be angry."

"But it doesn't matter."

Shangguan Fei: "I have been to Beiyang City and a few ordinary towns in Beiyang County. The situation in Beiyang City is fine, but the people in other towns live in poverty and oppression is severe, and the local officials do nothing."

Xia Tian sighed inwardly, he had actually thought of this too, so he established a supervisory history some time ago.

The purpose is to supervise officials from all over the dynasty.

As the saying goes, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, and officials far away from the capital can be said to be earth emperors.

"How much evidence has been collected?"

"The evidence of fifteen officials has been collected so far. This is the list."

After speaking, he took out another memorial, on which were written the names of fifteen officials from Beiyang County and Beihuang County, as well as their numerous crimes.

Xia Tian's eyes narrowed slightly, and his light flickered. Among them were not only the local officials, but also the middle-level generals in the garrison.

"I see, Shangguan Aiqing just came back and went home to be with her family."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

After Shangguan Fei left, Xia Tian thought for a while and said, "Let Niu Feng come over."

Xiao Xuanzi hurried out to call Niu Feng.

When it was time for a cup of tea, Xiao Xuanzi brought Niu Feng to the imperial study.

"I pay respects to Your Majesty."

"Niu Aiqing don't need to be too polite, just give me a seat."

Xia Tian handed the memorial Shangguan Fei gave him to Niu Feng: "Niu Aiqing take a look."

Niu Feng took the memorial and looked at it. When he saw the content inside, he frowned.

"Niu Aiqing, I recruited you to discuss with you how to deal with these people."

Niu Feng: "Your Majesty, if these people are not killed, it will not be enough to vent public anger. I request that they be arrested immediately and beheaded for public display."

"These people will naturally be killed, and the people behind them must be investigated, but is there a suitable replacement for Niu Aiqing?"

Niu Feng: "Your Majesty's Imperial College has many backup administrators, so don't worry about that."

When Xia Tian heard his words, he suddenly realized that he was still worrying about this at first.

Why didn't I think of those people in the Imperial College?

Guozijian is the highest institution of learning in the Great Xia Dynasty, and many scholars are proud to enter Guozijian.

In the past, those who scored well in the imperial examinations would be recruited into the Imperial College, and these people were the reserve officials of the imperial court.

"Niu Aiqing is appointing you as an imperial envoy to lead five hundred imperial troops and one thousand Azure Dragon Guards to arrest and interrogate these officials. The appointment of new imperial officials is also up to you."

Niu Feng knelt down on the ground when he heard the words: "I obey the order."

Xia Tian drew up an imperial decree, stamped it with a jade seal, and handed it over to Niu Feng.

Niu Feng took the order and began to prepare to go, and it is estimated that he will be able to set off tomorrow.

Xia Tian drew up another imperial decree, the content was to reward Shangguan Fei with some gold and silver.

His official position cannot be moved, only these things can be rewarded.
