The Emperor ordered Zhao Tang

Chapter 18: Sexy Fox

So Zhao took out a pile of silk books from the corner and started reading them one by one.

"The Ministry of Rites requests that the reign be changed to Jingfu, with the day to be the first day of the first lunar month of the first year of Jingfu, and that the Chongxuan calendar be revised to celebrate."

"The Ministry of Rites requested that the imperial examinations be held in February of next year. The Council of State Affairs believed that due to the frequent wars, it would be difficult for students to come to Beijing, so they postponed it to the end of March."

"The Ministry of Rites requests that you choose a day before New Year's Eve to offer sacrifices and report to the Heaven, Earth, and the Imperial Ancestral Temple."

"Ministry of Rites, please..."

The emperor listened for a while and interrupted, "The Ministry of Rites should stop reading."

"The Xichuan Memorial Office presented Wang Jian with another memorial, requesting that he be appointed as a Jiedushi, but the prime ministers refused to issue the imperial edict. The memorial official then spoke rudely, saying: I look up at the sun, but I can't see Chang'an. He also said: The military situation is tense, and the court is harsh. I didn't expect the emperor to drink in a blue shirt. The Jingzhao Yin sent guards to surround the Xichuan Memorial Office and threw all the officials into prison. Rumors also spread, saying: The Shu commander has made great contributions, so he should not be denied..."

"Emergency report from the Eastern Capital garrison: Zhu Quanzhong is leading his troops to invade the east..."

Unexpectedly, the emperor said quietly, "I won't read about things that I can't control now."

"The Privy Council has established three new imperial guards. One is the Dragon Knight Army, which has 3,000 soldiers. The Northern Department has sent envoys to Long, Yan, and Xiazhou to buy 7,000 horses. They have also selected military officers to go out of the capital to Shaanxi, Cai, Heyang, Yan, Chen, and Shangzhou to recruit good men to be Dragon Knights."

"One is the Yingwu Army, with 7,000 soldiers. It also recruits people from Guandong and Helong, and divides them into the left and right wings, with a commander. The other is the Baoguo Army, with 8,000 soldiers, divided into four cities, with four military commanders. The total number of soldiers is 18,000, 7,000 horses, and hundreds of officers and clerks."

This is good.

The military is so important.

Although he cannot control it now, he can at least prevent the urgent problem of the vassal states coming to Chang'an to cause trouble to a certain extent.

The matter of military power cannot be rushed, it must be taken slowly.

However, who will be the commander of these three imperial guards?

"Who is in charge?" asked the emperor.

"The Privy Council is in charge..." Zhao said slowly.

After hearing this, Li Ye fell silent. This old pigherd's arrangement was really impossible to change.

Liu Xianyuan, the Minister of Imperial Household Affairs of the Guanglu Temple, had made a name for himself in defending the city last time. Seeing that the Shen Ce Army was not living up to its expectations, Ximen Chongsui wanted to bribe brave warriors and promised on the spot that he would appoint Liu Xianyuan as his military commander. Now, the first person he appointed to send reinforcements was this man, and he was ordered to command the Dragon Knights.

Wang Congxun's bravery was also seen by everyone present that day. The eunuchs had already contacted him several times to take him as a fake son. The known ones include Ximen Chongsui, Liu Jingxuan, Han Wenyue, and Qiu Wendao. However, Wang Congxun did not seem to like to acknowledge his father, but he obviously understood that he had to build a good relationship with the eunuchs, so he refused and gave the gift.

For comfort.

Even if the child is not adopted, the kindness and righteousness still remain.

Ximen Chongsui, the wealthy man who wanted to recruit a son, was not in a hurry. He knew that it was not easy to recruit such a warrior, so he just needed to get along with him slowly.

Sooner or later one day you will be willing.

So he waved his hand and appointed him as the commander of the left wing of the Yingwu Army.

As for the other generals.

Either they were the adopted sons of the eunuchs, or they were military officials directly from the Feilongyuan.

For example, Ximen Yuanyuan, a brave general under Ximen Chongsui, was appointed as the right wing commander of the Yingwu Army, and his other son Ximen Li was appointed as the commander of the Baoguo Army.

For example, Liu Caixi, the adopted son of Liu Jingxuan, lieutenant of the Left Shence Army, served as the envoy of the Yingwu Army.

corresponding.

The Shen Ce Army, which had made a big fool of itself this time, was reorganized by Ximen Chongsui with an iron fist, and more than a hundred military officers were dismissed from their posts. In addition, many soldiers were expelled. Every day, soldiers carrying bedding rolls left the capital from the gates of Chang'an, and the number was estimated to be no less than 10,000.

Overall, Li Ye could accept Ximen Chongsui's adjustments to the imperial guards.

Liu Xianyuan and Wang Congxun, these two tough guys, are actually his men.

"Everyone, there is one more thing." Zhao said, "Li Maozhen's adopted son Li Jikan seized the Fengxiang commandership and appointed himself as the governor. He is leading the remaining troops to fight against the Shannan army and has submitted a petition to grant him the title of commander. Shannan Jiedushi Yang Shouliang has also submitted a petition to grant him the title of commander of Qi for his merit in destroying the enemy's lair."

This matter is difficult to handle in a short period of time.

Yang Shouliang, the governor of Shannan, took the opportunity to launch a surprise attack on Yong County, and the Qi army was scattered everywhere.

Now people feel that he has made great contributions and ask the court to appoint him as the governor of Fengxiang.

give or not?
Li Jikan took advantage of the Shannan Army's surprise attack to appoint himself as the regent and told his old father Li Maozhen not to go back.

This guy also felt that he had made great contributions and asked the court for an official position.

give or not?
There is also Wang Xingyu.

Previously, the imperial court issued an edict stating: "Whoever obtains Li Maozhen's head will be rewarded as the governor of Fengxiang."

Lao Wang then turned into Lao Liu and stabbed Li Maozhen in the back, leaving him unknown whether he was dead or alive.

Now, no one knows whether Li Maozhen is dead or alive, or where he is, but he is probably blocked by Wang Xingyu who took advantage of his misfortune. In two days, he may also be asked to serve as Qi Shuai.

Three forces are fighting in one town.

Difficult to handle.

We can only wait for these three groups of birdmen to decide the winner.

"Everyone has hurt the general's heart. Do you want to send an envoy to the Du Mansion to comfort him?" Zhao suddenly asked again, showing great concern about this matter.

She thought that the emperor's attitude towards the general was bad today, so she just said "approval" loudly.

What is this "Then go home and rest."

It's just gross.

"Why are you bringing this up again?" The emperor looked around and said, "I've also hurt Concubine Shu's heart, why don't you talk about it?"

He is not a madman, and certainly he would not humiliate the prime minister for no reason.

But the reason behind this cannot be explained to anyone.

Du Rangneng is a smart man. He will be able to understand it after he calms down and thinks about it for two days.

"Shufei..." Zhao's face was embarrassed when she heard the emperor mention Shufei: "Maybe everyone should go to Chang'an Palace tonight to talk to Shufei."

These days, the female officials surrounding the emperor were given a nickname by the jealous Concubine Shu.

So shameful - a slutty vixen.

They seduced the emperor, so they deserved to be called slutty vixens.

But she did not seduce, and treated the saint with respect.

Why are you wearing this hat?

"You should go meet Concubine Shu to relieve her pain of being alone and missing her..." When Zhao said this, her voice was as soft as a mosquito's buzz and she lowered her head.

"No, no." The emperor turned around and said, "Before, I was hurt by alcohol and sex, and I became haggard and my appearance was pale."

The previous body was too active, making this body quite weak.

These days, although Li Ye was laughing and joking with the female officials and was furious, his belt was still very tight.

"You haven't seen this or that..." Zhao tapped the emperor's eyebrows lightly, pretending to be unhappy and complaining: "You haven't seen the concubines for almost a month, and I have stayed by their side and never left. If you don't go to see them, you will put me in danger."

"I have been married to you all for many years, but now I am alone in the empty palace, and I feel so lonely."

"Why don't I go over first and get rid of the idle people, and then we can all help Concubine Shu tonight."

……

When he went out, the palace was covered with snow. The wind was so cold that even the Taiye Lake was freezing. Wang Congxun was leaning against a beam, staring at a half-closed room in a daze. He no longer looked as arrogant as before.

"What are you looking at?" The emperor slapped him on the shoulder, and Wang Congxun was so scared that he subconsciously grabbed the handle of the knife and pulled it away.

"My humble servant..."

"These are all my women. Are you planning to take advantage of any of them?"

"I, I, oops!" Wang Congxun blushed.

"Don't look at it." The emperor pushed his head and waved his hand: "Let's go to Chang'an Palace to find beautiful ladies. Tell me which palace maid you like."

what.

This isn't appropriate.

"How can a mere man like me be worthy of a goddess?"

"Can a fierce and ferocious man like you manage the household without a woman?" The emperor laughed and said, "It is a good deed to relieve a palace maid from suffering in the middle of the night. What's the point of saying worthy or not? I said that the palace maid locked up in the palace is not worthy of a mighty warrior like you."

……

Binzhou, Macheng.

This has long been a dead city.

A skinny man wrapped in rags touched his messy hair and was squatting on a corner with his butt sticking out, digging and picking desperately... He just saw a mouse crawling into a hole. As long as he caught the mouse, he would be able to have some meat today.

The man who was laughing for a mouse was none other than "Qishai" Li Maozhen.
