Martial Arts Crossover: Starting as a member of the Imperial Guard, all the ladies are demons

When Xiao Jingyi sent Mao Xiang to take down those local officials, it wasn't just to prevent them from causing trouble when he ascended the throne.

More importantly, we must keep them under our control.

Make them listen to you.

Of course, if some people are stubborn and insist on following the same path as the powerful families to the bitter end, he doesn't mind eliminating them all.

"Yes, Your Majesty understands."

Mao Xiang then realized that Xiao Jingyi had such a profound reason for sending him on this trip.

It seems His Majesty had already planned to take this step against the aristocratic families. Such a scheme is truly admirable.

Mao Xiang said he had learned something new, and then took his leave.

"Elite families..."

Xiao Jingyi stayed alone in the imperial study, and then slowly said, "This is indeed a tough nut to crack. Let's take care of their problems while we are conquering the other countries."

In the following days, the memorials opposing the movement continued to arrive at Xiao Jingyi's location at regular intervals.

He didn't look at any of them; he took them all to burn as fuel.

In the past few days, primary schools have begun to be established in the rural areas around Daliang capital.

When they learned that the tuition was very low and that there would be opportunities to become officials in the future, the farmers were immediately tempted and enrolled their children. Some even spontaneously joined the team building the primary school after finishing their work.

For a time, they gained a lot of support for Xiao Jingyi.

Besides them, some other intellectuals were even more excited.

They had no way to serve their country through their studies, and they were unwilling to associate with those powerful families. Therefore, when they saw the edict issued by Xiao Jingyi, they all cheered and shouted that His Majesty was wise.

Of course, not all of them can become instructors. After all, Xiao Jingyi won't just use any Tom, Dick, or Harry; they will have to go through a series of checks.

Fortunately, many of the applicants were of good character and knowledge, and we even discovered a few promising talents.

This is one of the few pieces of news that has brought a smile to his face these past few days.

Gyeongju, Zhangjia.

"His Majesty is acting against the natural order, actually advocating for the large-scale establishment of schools. This is utterly heretical!"

Zhang Linhao, the head of the Zhang family.

He was furious after seeing the message sent back by Zhang Lindao.

"Father, in my opinion, this Emperor is young and arrogant. He thinks that just because he's become emperor, he can do whatever he wants. We have to show him what we're capable of!"

Just then, a middle-aged man below Zhang Linhao spoke up.

The other person beside him nodded in agreement: "Yes, Father, His Majesty is too domineering. A few days ago, he even sent that Jinyiwei (Imperial Guard) to arrest people in large numbers in our Qingzhou."

"Of the eighteen main criminals arrested, eight were either supported by my Zhang family or were members of my Zhang family."

"He did this because he doesn't respect the Zhang family at all!"

Hearing his two sons' words, Zhang Linhao's face darkened, and he clenched his fists tightly.

All eyes were on him, awaiting his instructions.

Zhang Linhao said in a deep voice, "Since the founding of the Great Liang Dynasty, our eight great families have always existed and have never interfered with the emperors of the Great Liang Dynasty."

"Now that this new emperor has actually broken this rule and openly attacked us, then don't blame the Zhang family for disrespecting him."

Thinking of this, Zhang Linhao said, "Pass down the notice: all officials related to my Zhang family should find some excuse not to cooperate with this measure."

"Have a few more prominent figures speak out, saying that His Majesty's actions are causing chaos in the court, are detrimental to the Great Liang, and are detrimental to the world. Remember, the bigger the commotion, the better."

Hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement, but one young man said, "Grandpa, isn't it inappropriate to openly defy the Emperor's will like this?"

In an instant, everyone turned their attention to the young man. Being stared at by all of them made Zhang Yunxing feel quite uncomfortable.

Zhang Linhao then spoke up: "Defying the Emperor's will? When has our Zhang family ever defied the Emperor's will?"

"What business is it of ours if their construction site selection is flawed?"

"Isn't it normal that Qingzhou doesn't have any skilled craftsmen?"

Zhang Linhao's words clearly indicated that he intended to deal with Xiao Jingyi's decree perfunctorily, simply dragging it out until Xiao Jingyi could no longer delay.

We're trying to get things done, but we just can't seem to get it done.

After he conveyed this message to the officials, they were all conflicted.

why?

On one side is the Zhang family, and on the other is His Majesty.

This is clearly a battle between two gods, and they, the mortals, are suffering the consequences.

Those officials who had previously been given leverage by Xiao Jingyi were particularly helpless.

No matter what they do, they will offend one side.

However, they were also clever; offending the Zhang family would at most mean they couldn't survive in Qingzhou for the time being.

But if you offend Xiao Jingyi, unless Xiao Jingyi abdicates, you'll be doomed once he settles his scores, both old and new.

Therefore, many people have already made up their minds.

They were clever; they used their personal channels to deliver the letters written by the Zhang family to the capital, both openly and secretly.

The poor Zhang family had no idea that Xiao Jingyi had already used various means to control many local officials before he ascended the throne.

Faced with the choice between surviving and offending the Zhang family, they chose the first option.

It wasn't that no one tipped off the Zhang family; rather, those who decided to stand with them didn't care whether they were being manipulated or not, so they felt there was no need to explain, and to avoid arousing suspicion from the Zhang family.

Other officials have already made their choices and are hoping for trouble for the Zhang family.

Some time later, the officials' memorials were also sent to Kyoto.

Little did he know, this was exactly what Xiao Jingyi had been waiting for.

Inside the study, I saw the letters that these people had presented to me.

Xiao Jingyi laughed as he read through the letters one by one: "It seems there are quite a few smart people out there. I thought they would stick to one path and go down a dead end."

"Han Le, take these letters to Mao Xiang. He knows what to do."

Han Le, who was standing to the side, trembled slightly upon seeing this.

He could feel the murderous intent in his emperor's words, which chilled him to the bone.

"Yes."

Seeing him accept the envelope with trembling hands, Xiao Jingyi laughed: "Han Le, your mentality is not right. When Gao Zhan recommended you, he told me that you were personally trained by him."

"Your Majesty, I have lost my composure. Please punish me."

Upon hearing this, Han Le thought he had offended Xiao Jingyi, so he quickly knelt down and admitted his mistake.

Seeing this, Xiao Jingyi chuckled lightly, but sighed inwardly, realizing that he still needed to be nurtured.

In fact, he had always wanted to establish an assassin organization.

He currently has a special agent organization under his control; the Embroidered Uniform Guard is considered a semi-assassin organization, but he needs a pure assassin organization.

Unfortunately, there was no suitable candidate.

I think Han Le is alright so far, not for any other reason than that he can be easily controlled by me.

But now that he saw it, Han Le was still lacking in temperament, so he immediately waved his hand and said, "Go down."

"Yes!"

Han Le then shakily got up, took the letter, and hurriedly went to find Mao Xiang 537.

Watching his departing figure, Xiao Jingyi thought of the Zhang family: "You are arrogant when you cause trouble among the common people, but when you instigate the officials, your fate is uncertain."

As he spoke, he got up and walked to a map, which showed the division of the various states of Daliang.

He took a pen and drew an X on the name of Qingzhou, which had "Zhang" written on it.

.

The next few days passed uneventfully.

But beneath the surface, turbulent waves were brewing.

Because apart from the Zhang family, the other powerful families also secretly issued orders, but none of them were as arrogant as the Zhang family.

The clash between His Majesty and the powerful families made the entire court exceptionally calm.

Xiao Jingyi didn't care about this, after all, according to his prediction, the Zhang family's good days were about to come to an end.

In the Imperial Study, Xiao Jingyi, who had just finished court, dismissed everyone in the room and excitedly opened the control panel.

Identity: Ruler of the Great Liang Kingdom

More than a month has passed since Xiao Jingyi ascended the throne. During this time, he has been busy with the trivial matters after his ascension and has not done much of the lottery, so he now has a lot of points.

"I've accumulated so many points without even realizing it."

"I happen to have some free time today, so I'll take a shot first."

As he spoke, Xiao Jingyi clicked on the military equipment lottery and drew a prize.

"Ding! Congratulations on obtaining the Level 1 White Tiger Token."

???

What the heck, the White Tiger Token?!

what is this.

Xiao Jingyi was taken aback, then opened the White Tiger Token and saw the description below.

Level 1 White Tiger Order: Unique to the military. All soldiers incorporated into the White Tiger Order will have their strength increased by 30%. Legion generals and deputy commanders with thousands of men will have their strength increased by one level. The strength of a commander is determined by the number of men, with one level increase for every 100,000 men, but it cannot exceed the Vajra Realm.

Note 1: The White Tiger Token comes with the White Tiger Army Formation, which can be formed by 10,000 people. It can suppress the strength of the enemy's general, but is ineffective if the general exceeds the Vajra Realm.

Note 2: A Level 1 White Tiger Order can be used to recruit up to 300,000 soldiers.

Note 3: You can hold multiple White Tiger Tokens. If you accumulate 5 Level 1 White Tiger Tokens, you can upgrade to Level 2.

!!!

nice one!

This is really good stuff!

"The White Tiger Token?"

"There's something this powerful? It's truly... amazing!"

Xiao Jingyi's eyes lit up the moment he saw the White Tiger Token.

Then I searched in the exchange shop and sure enough, I found the White Tiger Token.

And I also saw many incredible things.

Level 1 White Tiger Token: 200,000 points. Note: Only added after becoming emperor; limited to 1 per month.

Level 1 Vermilion Bird Token: 200,000 points. Note: Only added after becoming emperor; limited to 1 token per month.

First-level Xuanwu Token:

Level One Azure Dragon Token: ...

Seeing these things, Xiao Jingyi's mouth watered, but he soon realized something was wrong.
