The next day.
As soon as the news of King Xia's coming came out, all the civil and military officials were waiting outside the Huangji Palace early, and entered in sequence along both sides of the royal road.
The civil servants are still headed by Li Si, and the military generals are headed by Li Xiaoyao, followed by Lu Dongbin from the Eight Gates. Although Yuwen Chengdu has not yet been appointed, he unceremoniously stands third among the military generals.
Behind them are the Minister of War and the rest of the military generals in the court.
Although he had many words in his heart, he felt the fierce aura faintly exuding from Yuwen Chengdu, and Li Xiaoyao and Lu Dongbin were very polite to him, so no one dared to underestimate this strange military commander.
And there was still an empty space in the queue next to the general.
In less than a moment, Gui Guzi, dressed in gray robes, walked over with everyone in the worship hall.
Fahai, who was dressed in a golden cassock, held a Zen staff and followed behind him with a smile. Behind Fahai, there was also a middle-aged man also wearing monk's robes.
This middle-aged man had an abnormally pale look on his face, but at this moment, his pale face was full of despair. He lowered his head and followed Fahai distractedly.
Next to Fa Hai was a man wearing tight-fitting black clothes. The man had a rather strange appearance, with long and messy hair, round eyes, a sharp nose, and stubble all over his face, making him look vaguely like a dog.
Needless to say, this man is obviously the appearance of Roaring Sky Dog after its transformation!
Seeing the Roaring Sky Dog and the ranks of generals, Lu Dongbin's mouth twitched slightly, followed by a playful smile in his eyes.
Because at this time, Roaring Sky Dog lost the arrogance he had when he was born yesterday. He followed Guiguzi with lowered eyebrows and looked extremely honest.
Seeing the performance of Roaring Sky Dog, Lu Dongbin was very happy. He never thought that this stupid dog, who was not afraid of anything and would not accept anyone except his master, would end up like this!
As if sensing Lu Dongbin's gaze, Roaring Sky Dog looked up and glared at him viciously, but then quickly lowered his head for fear of being noticed by the big boss in front of him.
Seeing this strange combination, all the civil and military officials looked confused.
Among them, headed by Master Wuya, Taoist Baimei, Ximen Tailang and other four members of the original team of the Enshrinement Hall, they are no strangers, but who are these strange-looking people in front of them?
However, Li Si, Li Xiaoyao and others did not dare to neglect. When they saw Gui Guzi leading the people, they all bowed and saluted: "I have met Mr. Gui Gu!"
Upon seeing this, the civil and military officials were immediately shocked. Although they did not know Guiguzi's identity, even Li Si and others were so polite to him, how could they dare to ignore him.
So he also hurriedly saluted: "I have met Mr. Gui Gu."
Gui Guzi smiled faintly and said, "I have met all of you, sir."
"Sir, please come this way!" Li Si stepped forward and led Guiguzi and others to the special vacant spot next to the general.
Guiguzi responded with a smile, walked to that place and stood there, waiting quietly.
The hall immediately fell silent. The civil and military officials looked at these unfamiliar faces from time to time, curious in their hearts, but no one dared to disturb them.
For a moment, the majestic and vast Huangji Palace was silent!
finally!
As the time came, Qin Wuhen, wearing a black dragon robe, a crown on his head, and the Emperor's Sword hanging on his waist, appeared at the entrance of Huangji Palace.
Then, under the guidance of two armored guards, he slowly walked into the Huangji Palace along the golden royal road.
"I will see you, Your Majesty!"
All civil and military officials bowed down and saluted, while Gui Guzi and others bowed slightly to show their respect.
Qin Wuhen looked majestic, walked up the steps, sat on the dragon chair, faced the officials, waved his hand and said: "Pingshen!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
The officials stood up and then stood with their heads bowed respectfully, not daring to look directly at King Xia's face.
Looking at the crowded Huangji Palace, Qin Wuhen had a look of satisfaction in his eyes.
"I am going to court today and will announce several major events." Qin Wuhen looked at the officials and spoke solemnly.
"Since the death of the previous king, our Great Xia Dynasty has been in ruins, with frequent internal strife and constant foreign invasion."
"Although the chaos has been suppressed and the external crisis has been eliminated, there are still some problems within Daxia."
Qin Wuhen glanced at the officials and spoke slowly.
"My Great Xia has been inherited for ten thousand years. At its peak, it stood side by side with the six great dynasties and all the people bowed their heads. However, seven thousand years ago, the ancestor Qin Ao did nothing, causing our Great Xia to fall into pieces."
"Over the past few thousand years, our territory in Great Xia has been continuously lost!"
"This is a shame for our dynasty!"
The bodies of the civil and military officials were slightly shaken, and they were as silent as cicadas.
Qin Wuhen looked cold and continued: "Since I ascended the throne, I have aimed to restore the glory of our ancient Great Xia, eliminate internal strife, and resist foreign enemies."
"And the source of civil strife, in the final analysis, is these aristocratic families and sects."
"These aristocratic sects are protected by Daxia, but they do not abide by Daxia's laws and ignore the imperial court. A few days ago, I ordered the reform of the local city master system, and some local officials boycotted it. Among them, there were actually many shadows of aristocratic sects. It’s really a crime worthy of death!”
"But I think it is not easy for him to practice, so he can be spared the death penalty."
"However, from today on, any sect of aristocratic families in our Daxia territory will no longer enjoy any privileges. Every sect of a third-rate or above sect must send one-third of its disciples to join the dynasty, and one-fifth of the supplies in the treasury Deposit it into the national treasury, and anyone who disobeys the order or makes false reports will be killed without mercy!"
All civil and military officials were immediately shocked.
In the past, the imperial court suppressed sects of aristocratic families in various places and ordered them to report to local officials and copy and inherit their inheritance. This had already taken the reins from under the kettle and caused quite a bit of turmoil.
Now he is asked to send his disciples into the imperial court and fill the national treasury with supplies. This is tantamount to drawing blood from the family sect again!
The hearts of all the officials were trembling. If this imperial decree were to come out, there would undoubtedly be another riot among the sects of the family.
But after hearing Qin Wuhen's cold tone, several important ministers in the court, such as Right Chancellor Li Si, Jin Yiwei Li Xiaoyao and others, were all old gods. It was obvious that they had known about this matter for a long time, so no other officials dared to stand up to dissuade them. .
Qin Wuhen looked indifferent and looked at the ranks of generals, "Li Xiaoyao, Lu Dongbin, you two will supervise and execute this matter."
"I obey the decree!" The two of them raised their hands in unison.
Qin Wuhen nodded, then looked at the officials, and continued: "In addition, I would like to inform the world that in March, the first imperial examination of our dynasty will begin. The left prime minister Xiao Ping will supervise the general examination. There will be a literary test and a martial arts test. The literary test will be divided into two. It will be presided over by the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs for the time being, and the military examination will be presided over by the Minister of the Ministry of War."
The officials were shocked. Qin Wuhen had said this before, and now it was finally going to be officially implemented!
Before Xiao Ping came out of seclusion, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel and the Minister of the Ministry of War suppressed their excitement and stood up excitedly to salute: "My minister, I obey the order!"
Qin Wuhen looked at the ministers and said: "From now on, Jixia Academy will be established in all counties of Daxia. The main campus of Jixia Academy will be built in the King of Xia City, and the academies in the other counties will be Jixia Academy." Palace Branch.”
"In March, Houjixia Academy is officially opened. All our people in Daxia can enter the palace to practice!"
The officials were shocked, it was another major event involving the dynasty!
"Guiguzi!"
"I'm here!"
Guiguzi walked out calmly, his face calm.
"From now on, Gui Guzi will be enthroned as the vice president of Jixia Academy, with a superior official rank. You will be exempted from kneeling before me!"
All the officials looked at Guiguzi in shock!
Super first-grade official title!
What a grace!
What is the origin of this strange-looking man?
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Guiguzi ignored the officials' gazes and thanked him calmly.
Qin Wuhen nodded, and then said: "You have full authority to decide on all matters regarding the academy."
"yes!"
"Yuwen Chengdu!"
"I'm here!"
Yuwen Chengdu stands out with a powerful figure, tiger eyes and thick eyebrows, and a broad head.
Qin Wuhen pondered for a moment, and then said: "From now on, the Sui and Tang Legions will be established, and Yu Wen Chengdu will be appointed as the deputy commander of the Sui and Tang Legions, with a first-class military position!"
All the officials looked sideways.
Yuwen Chengdu raised his eyebrows, feeling a little surprised, but he seemed to suddenly think of something, his face darkened, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he cupped his hands and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Qin Wuhen nodded, looked at the ministers, and said: "Half a month ago, the allied forces of Cangming, Aogu and Murong surrounded our country in Daxia, trying to carve up our territory. Although the three dynasties were temporarily repelled, our soldiers suffered heavy casualties. "
"This revenge must be avenged!"
All the officials were shocked, they all guessed something.
"I have decided that in three days, we will send troops to the three great dynasties to regain their old lands and avenge our previous humiliation!"
really!
All civil and military officials were instantly shocked.
Although they had already guessed that Qin Wuhen would take action against the three major dynasties, everyone still did not expect that this day would come so quickly!
Li Si stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, in order to rectify the Great Xia family sects, something will happen. If we send troops to the three dynasties again, we may not have time to take care of them. It is better to wait for the civil strife to be quelled before attacking the three dynasties. This will ensure that nothing goes wrong." !”
"I second the proposal!"
"I also second the proposal!"
All the officials tried to dissuade him.
A dynastic war can affect the whole body. If the civil strife cannot be suppressed at this time, the consequences will be disastrous!
Everyone felt that this matter was too risky!
Upon seeing this, Qin Wuhen looked calm and was not surprised at all.
He looked at Guiguzi and said, "Sir, what do you think?"
Gui Guzi smiled faintly and said: "Your Majesty, with the current strength of our dynasty, we are enough to face the three dynasties at the same time. If the sects of the domestic aristocratic families riot, there may be some trouble, but I believe that with two adults, Li Xiaoyao and Lu Dongbin, we can be enough." Put down the civil unrest.”
"So, although this matter is a bit risky, I think we can give it a try. If we succeed in the first battle, the people's support in our government will definitely increase, and it will also be conducive to the implementation of the imperial examination and the academy after March."
At this time, Li Xiaoyao and Lu Dongbin looked at each other and stepped forward at the same time: "Your Majesty, I can issue a military order. If the civil strife cannot be quelled, we two are willing to be punished!"
Seeing this, Li Si was silent for a moment and stepped back.
The other officials stopped talking.
Qin Wuhen looked stern and stood up, "Okay!"
"According to my decree, each of the twenty-six counties in the southeast will mobilize 100,000 troops to meet at the eastern border."
"Yuwen Chengdu!"
"I'm here!"
Qin Wuhen looked at Yuwen Chengdu and said solemnly: "I order you to go to Shanyu Pass immediately and meet Han Xin!"
"Three days later, Lu Bu will lead the Demon God Army and send troops from Ziyang City to attack the Aogu Dynasty!"
"Han Xin led the Han army and sent troops from Shanyu Pass to attack the Cangming Dynasty!"
"Yuwen Chengdu led the Sui and Tang Dynasty legions, plus 2.6 million troops from the southeastern counties, sent troops from Shanyu Pass, divided into two groups with Han Xin's troops, and launched an attack on the Murong Dynasty!"
"The Enshrinement Hall is located in the Xia Palace, ready to be dispatched at any time!"
As Qin Wuhen issued orders one after another, the atmosphere in the court suddenly became tense.
The officials looked serious and solemnly raised their hands: "I obey the order!"
At this moment, a golden light suddenly flashed over the Xia Palace.
Immediately afterwards, the spiritual energy in the entire Xia Palace suddenly became restless, and there was a faint golden light flashing in the air.
Seeing this scene, all the civil and military officials looked surprised.
Qin Wuhen also frowned, and his expression changed slightly.
At this time, a flash of surprise flashed in Guiguzi's eyes, and then he looked at Qin Wuhen, "Your Majesty!"
Qin Wuhen heard the sound and looked over, but Guiguzi didn't say anything, just winked.
Seeing this, Qin Wuhen narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at the officials, and said: "Everyone performs his duties and retreats from the court!"
