    Luoyang, the meeting hall of the imperial palace

    At this time, the sun was setting in the west, and the sunlight was shining on the fifty-acre Guangpiao Astronomical Field in front of the palace. There were rows of guards standing along the way, all with stern faces and murderous intent, standing erect and motionless.

    The emperor lives here, and since this is the capital of the country, it is naturally heavily guarded.

    In the main hall, the columns that can only be encircled by hugging each other support the high ceiling one by one. The jade is ground into a water-slippery floor, with no gaps visible between the blocks.

    There are beautiful patterns carved on it. There are hundreds of officials standing on the left and right sides of the columns. The ministers expressed their opinions and spoke one after another. However, the discussion lasted for several hours and was finally coming to an end.

    There are nine steps. At the end of the steps, there is a person sitting on the throne in the middle. He is wearing a formal imperial robe, now all made of gold. The upper part is decorated with six patterns of sun, moon, stars, mountains, dragons and Chinese insects. The lower part is embroidered with algae, fire and rice.  , Zongyi, sheath, scattered six chapters, and twelve vegetable crowns.

    At this time, Wang Hongyi was sitting on the ninth level, smiling, gently holding his knees with his hands and sitting upright, watching the officials below discussing with a calm expression.

    "Your Majesty!" The discussion was almost finished. Zhang You, the number one civil servant in the Luoyang area, stepped forward and said: "The Hu people are in civil strife and have no time to look outside. It is time to unify Qinchuan and Liangzhou."

    "I second the proposal!" With this voice, the ministers came up one after another.

    Especially some generals, all of them were excited and came forward to kowtow.

    "It's no wonder that the general couldn't keep his composure. The generals all knew about the Hu people's withdrawal, and also learned that Bingyi Prefecture was successfully captured. Looking at the entire world, it can be said that there is no force that can compete with the Dacheng Dynasty.

    But for the general, there are only three places in the world: You, Qin, and Liang. This is the final victory.

    Wang Hongyi didn¡¯t say anything for now, but looked at the palace. The generals in the palace had good luck, and they all competed for beauty. Among them, there were more than ten people with blue luck.

    At that time, Zheng Yujia, Murong, Gao Xun, Huang Jie, and Shi Jiaqian had all passed the military exploits and been promoted to the position of commander of the capital. The seven or eight people below him were also generals emerging from various armies. Unknowingly, it can be said that  A group of capable and lucky generals emerged.

    Wang Hongyi looked at these generals, all of them were tall and strong, showing a strong and powerful aura. He said with a look of satisfaction in his eyes: "My dear friends, since you all agree to take Qin first, then the matter is settled."

    "Send an envoy to the Qin land to ask the King of Qin to surrender. If the king of Qin cannot do it, he will remove the king's title and replace it with the title of Duke of Qin."  "The army is pressing forward and marching directly to Chang'an. During this period, all armies will be ready."

    With that said, he glanced at His Highness's generals. These rising stars in the army are the main force, but Ding Huchen is the commander-in-chief. Only he can lead the various armies efficiently.

    "Your Majesty is wise!" After hearing this, all the ministers stood up and kowtowed in unison, shouting like a tsunami: "Long live the emperor, long live the emperor!"

    The purple air filled the hall, making everyone in the hall infected as if they were drunk.

    Zhang Youzhi kowtowed and suddenly remembered that time, when he was dressed in white, and at that time Wang Hongyi was just the governor of the second county. He remembered that one day, with a pot of wine and a few small dishes in the garden, the two monarchs and ministers met.  Pour wine to each other and talk about future expectations and dreams.

    Who would have thought that in just a few years, it would have swept the world, and that the monarch a few years ago would now be in the ninth level, ruling the world with his clothes hanging down?

    However, Wang Hongyi was a little surprised at this time. When he was deciding on this strategic choice, suddenly, there was a dark thunder in the palace, and extremely rich purple energy rolled in.

    Wang Hongyi¡¯s original white canopy of imperial energy solidified again, with strands hanging down.

    ?????????????????????????????????????????:???????????: The entire Chinese sky is connected by rolling fortunes. The tripod is floating in the sky, majestic and simple, overwhelming the world.

    Wang Hongyi's heart was filled with joy. He had issued an order to free all the money and food from newly occupied prefectures and counties to provide relief to the victims in the disaster areas. This cost the court millions of shi of food and reduced the collection of one million taels of silver.

    "However, the south has been mature for a few years. By this time, the customs system is quite mature and has stabilized at the level of six million taels of silver per year. This money and food can still be obtained.

    Having captured Guanzhong and Liangzhou, only Youzhou is left in the world.

    This territory has exceeded that of the Song Dynasty in history, and I am only twenty-four years old. There are still many years to come. I am not afraid that I will not be able to capture Youzhou and make the history of the Song Dynasty repeat itself.

    It can also be used and martial arts, creating the Taoism and prosperity, and the supreme power and Taoism of tens of millions of Li Min can be combined with Tianyi, and it is truly completely determined.

    However, Wang Hongyi still came to his senses and said: "Everyone, please get up, the Ministry of Rites will send an envoy there."

    Chang'an

    How old are the dynasties???, the city walls are towering, and even if the scenery is gone, the simple and majestic atmosphere is still coming.

    The journey from Luoyang to Chang'an was not far. Ten days later, the envoys arrived in Chang'an. However, after entering the city, they lost their freedom. Officials in the city were responsible for receiving them and placed them in the museum, but they were ordered not to do so easily.  In and out.

    At this time, all the outsiders had withdrawn. Only the soldiers of the Qin army stood in front of the door like nails. The people in the envoy were not in a hurry. Some of them were of lower official rank, so they were sorting out documents in front of the case, and some had some private banquets.

    There were several people at a small table, all officials from the diplomatic corps.

    Ji Yanshou picked up a peanut with chopsticks and ate it. It was fragrant and crispy, and said: "Master Li, there is no time to arrange our meeting here. Could it be that you are wasting us on purpose?"

    Listen, several people at the table have unswerving expressions.

    Li Taiqiong was the envoy, fourth grade. He sat on his chair and said nothing for a long time. He took a look and saw that there was no one outside. He glanced at the table again and saw that everyone was watching, including a general.

    This will be the military commander of the envoy, he is the fifth rank, his name is Yue Shixing. He is holding a braised pork elbow and eating deliciously without saying anything.

    Li Taiqiong did not dare to look down upon it. This general was ordered by the emperor. Everyone on the road saw the color of this general. He was decisive in killing and handling things along the way.

    Li Taiqiong secretly sighed at the emperor's ability to recognize people. It seemed that the people the emperor ordered were all outstanding people. He picked up the wine glass and drank, and said: "Come on, let's have a drink!"

    Having said that, I poured another cup of self -drinking: "Dacheng Chao has occupied 70 % or 80 % of the world, and Shu Di is the land of Longxing.

    "Although there is Tongguan in Chang'an, the emperor is stationed in Luoyang, and the army in Chang'an is suppressed and restrained from moving. In this case, as long as we capture Hanzhong in Shuzhong, we can attack Chang'an from Yangping Pass and seize the opportunity.  , it can be said that the overall situation has been decided.¡±

    Liu Sun heard this and said with a smile: "If you think about it carefully, this is really true. Even if Qin Guogong (King of Qin) knew about it, he could not do anything about it. This is a conspiracy."

    "So it's hard to violate God's will!" Ji Yanshou took another sip with a smile on his face: "We are here this time just to do our best. If Qin Guogong can surrender, we will be very happy. If not, it is fate."

    Everyone laughed after hearing this.

    "Hey, if we can win this battle and win Youzhou, the world will be settled and we can enjoy peace." Ji Yanshou sighed and smiled thoughtfully: "I think of the world falling into chaos ten years ago. It feels like a dream now.  Same."

    After a pause, he asked again: "I heard that the emperor is planning to establish and confer officials in the countryside? Are there too many officials?"

    "Dayan Customs, Taizong said, it is not necessary to appoint an official based on merit, but only on the person. However, after three generations of emperors, less than a hundred years later, there was a situation where disciplines were bad, officials were redundant, and the administration was corrupt." Li Taiqiong smiled:  "In the previous dynasty, there were not many official officials, but the power fell into the hands of the officials. In order to control the officials, the official officials also recruited the master's staff. According to such statistics, the number of people actually increased."

    "Since ancient times, officials and officials have been integrated into one body. The county has the governor, the county has the jurisdiction of the county, the county has the magistrate, and the county has the pavilions, and there are various positions such as pavilion chief, stingy husband, and traveling minister."

    "In the future, all dynasties will abolish this system and only appoint county officials. This is in the name of reducing the number of officials and weight, but in fact, the number of officials and staff is more than that in the pavilion, and they are irresponsible."

    "In view of this, the emperor restarted the pavilion system. From now on, there will be no more staff and outside staff. Pavilions will be set up in the county, and there will be one pavilion in every township ten miles away. There will be a pavilion chief, the ninth rank, and stingy officials will be in charge of land taxation and tourism.  In order to make inspections and arrests, and to select scholars through the imperial examination, one must first serve as a miserly official for a year to familiarize himself with the amount of taxes and servitude among the people and their sufferings, and then he can be appointed as the chief of the pavilion and gradually move up the ranks."

    "It is said that if there is an official, there will be a seal, and the chief of the pavilion will also have a seal. However, the officials and ministers will not have a seal, and the head of the village will not have a seal. They are not officials. They will be introduced by the people and approved by the county magistrate."

    ??Everyone listened in silence. In the original Yan system, if you won the Jinshi, you would directly become an eighth-grade and seventh-grade official, so the benefits were great, but now, you can only start as a junior official.

    And by restoring the old system, the court's control was greatly improved.

    Liu Sun said: "This system is an ancient method, and of course it is very good. However, each county must have more than ten li, and there are also miserly officials and wandering officials in the li. I am afraid that the number of registered officials will increase tenfold. How can we afford this?"  ?¡±

    It is also true that the number of officials in the imperial court must be commensurate with the financial resources and the people's affordability.

    Li Taiqiong just smiled and said: "Which county magistrate in the past did not have more than a dozen staff? After building the Liting, if we can get rid of the staff, private officials, and masters, the number of officials will actually be reduced a lot.

    "And this dynasty is different from the past. The customs tariff alone is six million taels per year. You know, the former dynastyThe tax is only three million taels, and this alone is more than enough to support soldiers and officials.  "

    This has entered the discussion of government affairs. When everyone said this, they felt that they could not go on any further and raised their glasses to drink.

    Ji Yanshou said "hmm" and said, "That's a long way to go. The great success of the founding of the country, we can be blessed with this great fortune. If we can make some achievements, we will be granted the title of wife and son in the future. The emperor is most benevolent and the reward is extremely generous. We will  You have to be careful.¡±

    ??Everyone nodded. In the future, the world will be peaceful. No matter how talented you are, you must rise all the way from the stingy officials, pavilion chiefs, and county officials. No matter how difficult it is to be promoted, now is the last chance.

    If we don't take advantage of this opportunity, the future will be relatively difficult. Thinking of this, everyone hopes that Guo Wentong can surrender without a fight, so that the envoys will have great achievements. As for surrendering without a fight, a large number of prepared generals will lose their opportunity.  , this is not something they consider.  (To be continued
