Xiao Yi naturally knew what Li Linfu meant and arranged more personal guards for Xiao Ce.
Their treatment is similar to that of the third prince Xiao Zheng and the five border guard kings, and the personal guards are all at least one thousand and above.
However, Xiao Ce is not a border guard prince!
This is completely unconventional.
Xiao Yi didn't want to argue endlessly on this kind of thing. He had suppressed Li Linfu and others too hard, so he gave them a chance to breathe a sigh of relief.
How can we boil frogs in warm water without letting them take a breather?
"Well, what the minister said is true. If that's the case, then let's organize a thousand personal guards!" Xiao Yi seemed to have made a difficult decision for Xiao Ce.
Xiao Ce originally wanted to stand up and retreat in order to advance.
But unexpectedly, Xiao Yi actually agreed.
"Brother, thank you for taking care of me. I will do my best to manage Wuzhou!" Xiao Ce bowed.
Xiao Yi nodded, he also understood
Enfeoffment is one's own bottom line, so personal soldiers are the bottom line for Li Linfu and Xiao Ce.
Li Linfu also cupped his hands and said, "Your Highness understands the great righteousness and is admired by all the humble ministers."
The ministers also shouted together: "His Royal Highness understands the great righteousness and is respectful to brothers and sisters. It is indeed a blessing for him to do great work."
Afterwards, it was a simple discussion.
Xiao Yi did not hesitate to praise Cai Jin for his contribution in disaster relief on Longyou Road. He also specially asked his secretary to write a big newspaper for his residence, and posted it on a special bulletin board outside the imperial city. above.
In the past, Cai Jin, Zhu Mian and others wanted to praise and kill him.
Now.
Xiao Yi in turn wants to kill Cai Jin.
Shape him into a loyal minister, a capable minister, and preferably a model for a generation of virtuous ministers.
When the time comes, there will naturally be some people who can't stand it.
If he really succeeds in establishing an example of a virtuous minister, Cai Jin himself may be bound by this prestigious reputation.
I don’t even want to be a wise minister.
Then, the Jin Yiwei and the officials from Yushitai went to Longyou Road to thoroughly investigate the corruption of officials.
With Lu Ming and Fang Xuan leading the team, they immediately captured the governor of Longyou Road as soon as they arrived.
This person has been dismissed, but he himself has also committed a crime.
Then we started from Shanzhou, the seat of Longyou Road, and began to investigate in all directions.
The conviction of the governor of Longyou Road has also been sent up.
Xiao Yi saw that Lu Ming and Fang Xuan also cut through the mess quickly and had already fought against a local official.
There were casualties on each other.
Fortunately, Lu Ming had led the Imperial Guard, and the Jinyiwei were elites recruited from the Imperial Palace. They were not recommended by the ministers. They were still in the Jinyiwei official office and would not go to the front line. He was secretly watched by the censors at Fang Xuan's censorship station.
After all, he is qualified to be the Censor Zhongcheng of the Censor Station, and he needs a lot of achievements to prove himself and improve his reputation.
With the elite Jin Yiwei here, local officials and wealthy families can completely suppress it if they join forces.
After Longyou Dao died for so many years, they slowly began to relax their vigilance and liked to drink and have fun, thinking that there were people in the court who were good at becoming officials.
Who knew that the situation in the DPRK would also be changing!
Xiao Yi handed over the memorials of Fang Xuan and Lu Ming for everyone to see, but had no intention of making the results of the investigation public now.
Because this will only make the investigation more difficult, and will also allow those officials to fight to the death.
"The magistrate of Shanzhou County should question the beheading, confiscating, and barbarian tribes!"
Xiao Yi has a special liking for confiscating homes.
Because raiding homes can make you rich overnight, it's like cutting leeks. These leeks are already growing very well, how can you not cut them?
None of the ministers had any objections to the punishment of Wenzhan, house confiscation, and Yi tribes.
They were relieved when they saw the memorial sent by Fang Xuan and Lu Ming. They didn't see too many implication, nor did they see any hint of the court.
Now he is worried about long nights and many dreams, and wishes that Fang Xuan and Lu Ming would kill the corrupt officials in Longyou Road on the spot to avoid involving themselves.
Then, there was still the issue of disaster relief in Longyou Road, and Xiao Yi once again put forward the proposal of working for relief.
This time.
It can definitely be implemented.
On Longyou Road, there were Jinyiwei and Yushitai at Suzheng Mansion, and Yue Hongling led a team to suppress the horse bandits.
No matter how rotten the field is, it was first plowed and now fertilizer has been spread on it, so it is basically ready for cultivation.
Not like before.
Such a good national policy cannot even come out of the capital.
Cash-for-work can be implemented.
It is a good strategy to restore the vitality of Longyou Road. It has carried out infrastructure construction and water conservancy projects. The people have received relief food and disaster relief money. The court has also built new reservoirs and canals in Longyou Road, which has solved the problem of drought and disasters. Flood hazards.
If the officials of Longyou Road clear up in the next few years, it will definitely become the third richest place in the Thirteenth Road of Daqian.
After morning dynasty.
Xiao Yi continued to review the memorial for an hour.
As he took back the authority of the Ministry of Household Affairs, the Ministry of War, and the Yushitai, and added a royal guard, the memorials sent to him were different from before. He needed to carefully review and approve them.
Xiao Yi rubbed his temples a little tiredly and said softly: "If you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight. No wonder no matter how wise and powerful the emperor is, he starts to enjoy himself when he gets old. If this continues for decades, he will eventually... collapse."
"After taking back the power and solving the external and internal troubles, we must reform the system in the future and learn from Emperor Jiajing."
If we want to talk about who can be an emperor who is good, free, not tired, and can enjoy himself at the same time. After the emperor is over, the government is not neglected, and all the officials are still very obedient, it is the Jiajing Emperor of the Ming Dynasty.
However, his later methods did go a bit too far, so his evaluation was somewhat mixed.
Xiao Yi is now the Prince of the Supervisory State. After experiencing some things personally, he found that Emperor Jiajing had many bright spots.
"Let's go to the garden with me."
In a few days, it will be the Mid-Autumn Festival in August.
The weather has turned cooler.
The sun is shining brightly every day and the earth is no longer like a steamer outside.
Xiao Yi stretched and moved a bit. After Li Qiuya came to Xi Zheng Hall with snacks and hugged her to eat a sweet snack together, he thought about going out for a walk.
Xiao Yi and Li Qiuya walked carelessly in the garden. At this time, there was nothing interesting to see, but Xiao Yi seemed to be in high spirits. He took Li Qiuya's hand and said softly: "In a few days, it will be the Mid-Autumn Festival. It's a festive season. Logically speaking, this day is a day for family reunions. I plan to take you to the Manlu Palace to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival with my father."
Li Qiuya was stunned when she heard this, and then became very happy. She hugged Xiao Yi's arm and said, "I will obey His Highness in everything."
…
"Today, I would like to thank you, Mr. Prime Minister, for interceding on my behalf."
In a small garden.
Xiao Ce and Li Linfu sat and drank tea together.
Li Linfu put aside the ginseng tea he had only taken two sips of, and said calmly: "Your Highness thanked you a little early."
"Although we have a thousand personal guards, the journey to Wuzhou is long and it is not safe along the way."
"Even if we reach Wuzhou, the distance from Wuzhou to the capital will take at least more than a month."
"When the time comes, even if there is any change in the capital, you won't be able to catch it."
"We...all underestimated His Majesty's determination."
A gloomy look flashed across Xiao Ce's face, but it disappeared in an instant. He said respectfully: "Mr. Minister, in this situation, I will only become more and more restricted in the capital. When the third brother comes back, the two of them will be together." If we fight, I’m afraid the first one will take action against me.”
"After all, they don't want me to take advantage of them while both sides are losing."
"In that case, it's better to go to the fief."
"No matter how far it is, it is still within the territory of Daqian, and he is also the prince of Daqian."
Li Linfu nodded and said in agreement: "Yes, I didn't expect His Highness to be able to see the situation clearly and make a long-term plan."
"If the third prince returns to the capital, His Highness the Crown Prince and he will not be able to accommodate His Highness. It is better to go to the fiefdom."
"It turns out that there are several people here who can be considered as useful talents. They are still somewhat different from Zhu Mian, Wang Fu and others, so they can be used."
"Wen Tiren, a member of the Yu Ministry of Industry, and Zhou Yanru, an official of the Ministry of Punishments, will be dismissed from office due to some circumstances. When the time comes, they will go to Wuzhou to help you govern Wuzhou."
Xiao Ce said with emotion: "Thank you very much, Mr. Prime Minister. I will definitely regard them as my right-hand man."
Li Linfu took a sip of tea.
He continued: "Let's develop in Wuzhou. It's also a good thing to go out."
"The relationship between the Prime Minister and His Highness the Crown Prince is already at loggerheads. I'm afraid that I won't be able to help you much in the near future."
"From now on, it will be up to Your Highness to move forward bravely."
Xiao Ce quickly said: "Why is the prince so depressed? Even if the prince is brave and resourceful, he is not so powerful that he cannot be overthrown."
"I believe that the Duke and the Prime Minister can unite vertically and horizontally, and there are still many opportunities."
Li Linfu said lazily: "Your Highness, the truth is a bit lacking. Some things look simple, but are difficult to do."
Xiao Ce could see that Li Linfu didn't seem to want to say anything more to him, so he could only stand up and say goodbye.
I wanted to get more benefits from Li Linfu.
However, the opponent is also an old fox. He has now gone to the fiefdom. It seems that he is temporarily avoiding the edge, but in fact, he has also lost the best opportunity to fight for the big position.
Now that he is in a fiefdom, no matter how good he is and how he respects his troops, it will not be as good as before. With His Majesty's favor and Li Linfu's support, more than half of the ministers in the court also support his rise to power.
Therefore, Xiao Ce doesn't have to spend too much thought at all, he just needs to wait.
However, now that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince oversees the country, many ministers in the court have turned to the East Palace.
One is Zhang Jiuling and the other is Yueshan.
The attitudes of these two people are crucial.
This was also Li Linfu's repeated plans, but they failed to play a big role.
Finally, Xiao Di’s support was added.
Li Linfu's covering the sky with one hand became a joke.
Return to the palace.
Xiao Ce came to the study room.
We are about to go to the fiefdom.
Whether he can return to the capital or this palace in the future is still unknown.
