The next day.
After morning.
In the Qilin Hall, Qin Wuhen was sitting on the dragon throne, looking at Xiao Qi with a respectful expression in front of him, and asked doubtfully: "Prime Minister Zuo, what do you want to report?"
After the morning dynasty, all civil and military officials left the scene one after another, except for the left prime minister Xiao Ping who stayed.
Qin Wuhen could naturally guess that Xiao Ping had something that was inconvenient to say in front of the officials, so after the civil and military officials left, he summoned him to the Qilin Hall alone.
"Your Majesty, I do have something to report!"
Xiao Ping bowed slightly towards Qin Wuhen and said: "This matter concerns all the major sects and families in Daxia. It is inconvenient for me to report it in Huangji Palace. I hope your majesty will forgive me!"
"About the sect family?"
Qin Wuhen's face was slightly startled, and he immediately nodded and said: "It's just a trivial matter, what's the crime? Prime Minister Zuo, please tell me quickly!"
"yes!"
Hearing this, Xiao Ping saluted again and said: "Your Majesty, when I returned home last night, I happened to meet the relatives of the Fu family, the Fu family in southern Hunan, and the other two big families, the Cui family and the Shen family, who came to visit..."
Then, Xiao Ping told Qin Wuhen everything that happened last night at Zuo Xiang's Mansion with people from the three major families in southern Hunan, including all the conversations.
After saying that, Xiao Ping stood in front of the Long Case with his hands down, his face calm, his head lowered and silent, waiting for Qin Wuhen to ask questions.
He was not worried that Qin Wuhen would blame him for this.
Xiao Ping's loyalty to the Great Xia Dynasty and His Majesty can be learned from the sun and the moon!
On the dragon throne, Qin Wuhen was also silent, digesting the information brought by Xiao Ping's words.
Behind the dragon chair, after hearing Xiao Ping's words, Li Xiaoyao's eyes moved slightly, but he didn't say much when looking at the expressionless Qin Wuhen.
"Shonan..."
After a long time, Qin Wuhen opened his mouth slightly and murmured in a low voice.
Xiao Ping's face changed slightly when he heard this, and he couldn't help but raise his head and said: "Your Majesty, although I don't have close relations with the three major families in southern Hunan, the Fu family is my relative. I think they can listen to what I said last night!"
"The Fu family and the Cui and Shen families have always been on the same side. If the Fu family opens their mouth, they will definitely not dare to do anything disobeying His Majesty again. I sincerely ask Your Majesty to give them a chance to change their ways!"
Looking at Xiao Ping with a serious expression, Qin Wuhen was slightly startled, then shook his head and said with a smile: "The Prime Minister is worrying too much, I have no intention of attacking the three major families in southern Hunan first!"
"If they can listen to the advice of the Zuo Prime Minister and stay safe, I will naturally not do anything to them. What's more, since the Zuo Prime Minister has spoken about this matter, I will naturally give the Zuo Prime Minister face!"
"Old minister is scared, thank you for your grace!"
Xiao Ping quickly bowed and said with a serious face: "I assure your majesty that if people from the three great families still refuse to listen to advice and do things that are harmful to the court and your majesty, I will personally execute them without your Majesty's intervention. , to rectify my laws in Bactria!"
"I can certainly trust the words of the Prime Minister Zuo!"
Qin Wuhen nodded slightly, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said slowly: "What I am thinking about now is that before I have announced what happened in the Xia Palace, the news has already spread to the border..."
"This Xia Palace's intelligence agency really needs to be rectified!"
Xiao Ping's expression changed slightly when he heard this. He glanced at Li Xiaoyao who looked calm behind Qin Wuhen, but didn't say much.
At this time, Li Xiaoyao suddenly stood up, cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, please leave this matter to me!"
Li Xiaoyao now serves as the commander of the Jinyiwei, and the predecessor of the Jinyiwei was the Xia Palace Forbidden Army.
In addition to protecting the safety of King Xia, the duties of the Forbidden Army are also the intelligence agency around King Xia, responsible for monitoring all officials and the world.
As the current commander of the Jinyi Guards, Li Xiaoyao naturally knows these.
But as soon as he took office, he was sent by Qin Wuhen to the southeastern border to inquire about the situation. He hadn't even actually reported to the Jinyi Guards, so naturally he hadn't had time to manage these matters.
"That's fine!"
Qin Wuhen nodded slightly, looked at Li Xiaoyao and said: "After ascending the throne, I was busy with various affairs. I have neglected this matter. Now that I have mentioned it, you should work harder. Intelligence information is the top priority!"
"I not only want to understand the situation of the officials in the Xia Palace, but also know the specific situation of the major families, sects, and local officials and generals of the major cities in Daxia!"
"I even want to know some basic information about all the dynasties in Cangzhou!"
Li Xiaoyao looked slightly solemn, cupped his hands and said: "I obey your order!"
………………
Eastern Bactria.
Yangzhou.
Yangzhou is located in the eastern part of the Daxia Dynasty, far away from Xia Wangcheng, but it does not reach the Dongguan border, and is in the middle of the border between Xia Wangcheng and Dongguan!
Although Yangzhou was also guarded by imperial officials and generals, when Yangzhou was mentioned, the first thing that came to mind, no matter who it was, was definitely not the city lord of Yangzhou and the imperial garrison generals.
But - Ximen Family!
Ximen Family, one of the four most powerful families in the Great Xia Dynasty!
Unlike the other three major families, the Ximen family never participated in court affairs, and no one in the family served as an official in the court.
The Ximen Family is a business family that has been passed down for thousands of years, and the family business spreads throughout the Great Xia Dynasty!
Even in the entire territory of Cangzhou and other dynasties, there are properties belonging to the Ximen Family!
No one knows how deep the Ximen Family’s heritage is, and no one knows why the Ximen Family is one of the four great families in Great Xia!
But after so many years, no one can shake the status of the Ximen Family!
It seems that there is no need for outsiders to admit that the four words "Ximen Family" alone are enough to occupy one of the four major families in Daxia!
In the entire Yangzhou, the status and reputation of the Ximen Family are second to none, and they are the well-deserved uncrowned king!
Yangzhou covers an area of 400,000 square kilometers, accounting for almost one-tenth of Daxia. There are no less than a hundred sects and aristocratic families, but they all follow the lead of the Ximen family!
For thousands of years, the economic development of the entire Yangzhou territory, driven by the Ximen family, was second to none in the entire Daxia Dynasty!
Its prosperity is second only to Xiawang City!
At this moment, on the central street of the main city of Yangzhou, a beautiful woman wearing a white fur coat appeared.
The woman has an extremely beautiful face and graceful figure, and her whole body seems to exude an ultimate charm and enchanting temperament, causing passers-by to turn around frequently, all immersed in this woman's troubled appearance!
This beautiful woman is naturally Daji!
“I didn’t expect that the Ximen Family would have such great influence in eastern Daxia!”
Walking slowly along the flow of people, Daji's beautiful eyes were shining and she murmured in a low voice.
Even though she had already heard about the mystery and extraordinaryness of the Ximen Family from Qin Wuhen, now that she was in Yangzhou in person, Daji could not help but feel slightly surprised by the prestige and status of the Ximen Family.
You don't even need to inquire, just from the conversations of people walking in the city, you can understand how powerful the Ximen family is in the entire Yangzhou!
It is understood that the Ximen Family is not only complex in power and closely related to the entire Yangzhou family clan, but the family strength is also extremely powerful and mysterious!
Over the years, there have been some monks who relied on their extraordinary cultivation and wanted to cause trouble in Yangzhou City, and brought trouble to the Ximen Family.
But in the end, even the Ximen Family did not take action personally, and these troublemakers soon died on the streets!
The person who took action was either one of the other sects of aristocratic cultivating families in Yangzhou, or someone with a foreign surname hired by the Ximen family to pay for his services!
No one has ever seen a member of the Ximen family fight in person!
The status and reputation of the Ximen Family are evident!
and!
The most important thing is that even though the Ximen family is so powerful and has the prestige of the entire Great Xia Dynasty, it strictly abides by the laws of the Great Xia Dynasty!
Even though the civilian city lords and generals who defended the city in Yangzhou are now in name only, the Ximen family is extremely polite to the officials of the imperial court, and sometimes even takes the initiative to assist the imperial court in handling some difficult incidents!
Ximen Family never delays or omits the taxes that should be paid every year, and pays them on time and in the amount!
This series of actions is simply a representative example of law-abiding and good people in Daxia. It directly makes the court want to take action against them, but they can't find a suitable reason!
"call……"
Thinking of the information she heard about the Ximen Family in just a short period of time, Daji pursed her lips and exhaled softly.
This mysterious and unpredictable Ximen family made her, the enchantress who once led a country to decline and destruction, feel a little troublesome!
Mainly because his cultivation was temporarily sealed, and he could only exert his strength at the ninth level of the God Transformation stage!
The Ximen family has been inherited for so many years and its strength is mysterious. Many generations of Xia kings in history have tried to attack it but failed.
To say that it is like the other three major aristocratic families, only strong men with cultivation levels in the transformation stage are in charge, Daji would not believe it no matter what!
"Forget it! Let's sneak in and take a look first!"
After thinking to herself for a moment, Daji shook her head slightly.
Anyway, His Majesty's intention was just to let her temporarily find out the strength of the Ximen Family, not to directly attack the Ximen Family.
But just sneaking into the Ximen Family to investigate the situation would not be a big problem for her.
This is true even if the Ximen Family really has a strong person who has surpassed the stage of becoming a god!
With a slight movement of her body, Daji took a step forward and disappeared directly. The pedestrians who were paying attention around her couldn't help but rub their eyes, thinking that they were hallucinating!
