Steel Dynasty - Chapter 536

[Chapter 536 Digging a hole for Fiji]

PS: There is also a chapter

where a sound of music and music floats around, bringing a touch of melancholy into the main hall.

Everyone who was discussing government affairs fell silent at this time.

After closing his eyes and listening carefully for a while, Fiji said: “Your Highness, the sound of the piano must belong to the empress. It is indeed difficult to calm down after suffering such a catastrophe.”

“Yes, but fortunately, my father has been buried in peace. , buried in the imperial mausoleum, this news makes the mother and concubine feel more at ease,” Xiao Ming said.

When it comes to the past, both Fiji and Luo Quan feel a little sad.

Seeing this, Xiao Ming said: “Fei Zhongshu, you came back at the right time. Now the officials from Chang’an and their families have been settled, but these officials can’t be idle forever, so I am going to let them go to Bowen College Learn government affairs knowledge to adapt to Qingzhou’s government affairs system. “

Fiji is also worried about this matter these days. As soon as he came back, many officials came to inquire about the news. At this time, he couldn’t help but breathed a sigh of relief. He said: “Your Highness, Qingzhou’s government affairs system. It is very different from the old system of Dayu Country. Will

Your Highness continue to use this government system? ” “Exactly, in my opinion, the official system of Dayu Country is out of date, and the officials are too ignorant. If you can’t Understand the current changes in the world, it is better to go home and hold your children.” Xiao Ming’s tone was decisive.

Now that the world has entered the Age of Discovery, the backward system and ideas of Dayu are seriously lacking in competitiveness. He does not want his fiefdom to regress again because of the arrival of these officials.

Because of this, he wanted to throw these officials to Bowen College to study and let them understand the current jungle world.

And now that Xiao Wenxuan is dead, the country of Chongqing has become a mess. This has both disadvantages and advantages for him. For example, he now has no shackles of imperial power and can boldly develop astronomy among the people and get rid of the ignorant and backward ideas in the feudal country. .

At the same time, he can also boldly open up more knowledge in Bowen Academy. After all, he has the final say in everything now, and there is no need to worry about Chang’an’s reaction.

Fiji glanced at Pang Yukun. This little talker back then has now become the chief minister of the feudal country. At this time, Pang Yukun smiled treacherously. It seemed that Xiao Ming’s treatment of officials made him feel relieved. He was no less in court back then. I was bullied by these officials.

Things have changed, and now his own status is also very embarrassing. According to the official positions in Dayu, his status is higher than Pang Yukun. According to the official positions in Qingzhou, it seems that the chief assistant is the highest position.

This is a necessary skill in officialdom. Fiji is very aware of the current situation, so he decided to stick to it to avoid saying the wrong thing. “Your Highness must have your reasons for doing this. The veteran minister is not very knowledgeable and dare not Nonsense.”

Xiao Ming rolled his eyes. He knew that Fiji would say this. Compared with Pang Yukun’s sharp mouth, Fiji was obviously more cunning.

However, he also had a way to deal with it, so he said: “Fei Zhongshu, since the old official system of Dayu Kingdom is no longer appropriate, I must arrange a position for you. There are still eight people short of the ninth assistant in the cabinet. If Fei Zhongshu doesn’t If you don’t like it, how about serving as one of the nine assistants? “

“Your Highness, how can the veteran He De hold the position of cabinet minister? Doesn’t this make the officials in Qingzhou unhappy?”

Fiji said so much, but he felt relaxed in his heart. He breathed a sigh of relief. He had been cold during this period. What he was most worried about was returning home to retire. Unexpectedly, Xiao Ming would let him join the cabinet with just one word.

Although the name was not as good as the chief minister, he knew that the chief minister of the cabinet was just an organizer and there was not much difference in power. Secondly, Xiao Ming’s arrangement might also be suspected of checking and balancing Pang Yukun’s power.

Having held a high position for so many years, he knew very well that the king’s biggest taboo was for one party to dominate the court, because this would severely limit the king’s rights and even sow the seeds of rebellion.

According to his understanding, due to the eradication of wealthy families and the shortage of officials, Pang Yukun recommended a large number of officials to enter Qingzhou officialdom. Now these officials have vaguely formed a small group headed by Pang Yukun.

Although Pang Yukun was upright, this was definitely a hidden danger for Xiao Ming. Because of this, he guessed that Xiao Ming intended to divide the officialdom and make it more complicated.

“Fei Zhongshu has filtered it out. There are four generations and three princes of the Fei family, and there are many disciples and old officials all over the world. Besides, you have never formed a party for personal gain. Moreover, you are the father-in-law of my king. This position of cabinet minister is quite worthy.” Xiao Ming said with a smile.

Pang Yukun also said: “Fei Zhongshu has a great reputation. If Fei Zhongshu can’t hold this position, who else can?”

“This…” Feiji hesitated for a moment and said, “His Highness is so kind, but I can only be disrespectful. “

Hahaha …” Xiao Ming

laughed

, “In this case, it is up to Fei Zhongshu that the Chang’an official goes to Bowen College to study.”

Xiang, unknowingly he fell into Xiao Ming’s trap.

This problem for officials from Chang’an has always been a headache for everyone. Even Pang Yukun sometimes has trouble handling it. After all, conflicts between official positions are embarrassing.

Now that he has gone full circle, this hot matter still falls into his hands.

Pang Yukun suppressed laughter. These days, they all saw Fiji’s thoughts. This plan finally forced Fiji to bite the bullet, and Fiji’s entry into the cabinet was also an encouragement to other officials.

And with Fiji in the cabinet, they can also study at Bowen College with peace of mind.

After talking about this matter in Fiji, Xiao Ming looked at Luo Quan who was having a lively chat with Niu Ben. Niu Ben and Luo Quan were both famous generals in the Chongqing Kingdom back then. Now, first Niu Ben and now Luo Quan, this Two famous generals are now in his army.

Moreover, this time Luo Quan was accompanied by generals from the firearms battalion, which made up for the lack of generals in the army, and it was imperative to expand the army and prepare for war according to the current situation.

After capturing Pengzhou this time, he said that he would not recruit some soldiers from Pengzhou to supplement his military strength.

Since war is unavoidable, he can only support war with war. Because of this, he decided that King Wei would be the first person to operate on him. After all, King Yong’s fiefdom was in short supply of food after a drought, and it was also very barren. Tasteless.

Moreover, King Yong has been exporting various minerals to Qingzhou in exchange for weapons. It is the same whether it is occupied or not.

“General Luo, these days, you haven’t mentioned your service in the army. Is this the king’s negligence?” Xiao Ming asked at this time.

After hearing this, Luo Quan bowed and said: “His Highness is extremely considerate to the veteran. How can you say he is negligent? It’s just because the veteran can no longer keep up with His Highness’s army. Instead of doing this, it is better to let Luo Xin and Luo Hong show off their skills. The veteran is here.” Let’s go back to the countryside in Qingzhou.”
