Chapter 318 Lu Qing, Please Stay for a While

As always, Jiang Chengwan directly adopted Lu Chen's suggestion, and no one else had any objection.

The capital area is indeed crucial.

More than 30% of the resources of the Great Xia Empire are gathered here. The spiritual energy is suitable, the spiritual soil is vast, the formation is complete, the people are stable, and the spiritual channels are everywhere. Whether it is politics or economy, it is far superior to other provinces. It is the absolute center of Great Xia.

As long as there is no problem in the capital area, the foundation of Great Xia will not be shaken too much. Even if the world is in chaos, it will not be so chaotic that it is difficult to clean up.

Those who are good at fighting will seek war after they are invincible.

In general, internal hidden dangers should be eliminated first. After all, there are many officers from noble families in the Imperial Guard.

As for civil servants, the officialdom of Great Xia is extremely complicated, and there is not only a distinction between clean and turbid.

In today's political arena of Daxia, it goes without saying that Lu Chen has formed his own faction. Yan Song has been in the court for many years, and during this period, he has promoted and appointed students and old officials all over the world. He is also a towering tree. There are also many officials from aristocratic families like Xiao Yun. In addition, there are practical factions such as Liu Dongyang, Fang Ping, and Wu Yue, the clean faction of the censors, and the sect faction of the same clan and school, etc.

Among them, there are naturally officials who have received more or less favors from the nobles.

Among these people, some are in high positions, while others are in low positions and have little influence. They may be senior officials of the current dynasty, or only seventh or eighth rank, or even minor officials.

But even if they are not in the mainstream, as long as they have a position, they have certain authority. Even some officials, although they look inconspicuous, can play a significant role.

After all, sometimes the higher the position, the farther away from specific affairs.

If these people make trouble behind the scenes, it is hard to say how much harm they will cause. The more critical the time, the more we cannot ignore these details.

A large-scale investigation is still necessary.

However, we cannot start a large-scale investigation and kill these officials who have received favors from the nobles without asking any questions.

Everything has a limit. After all, it does not mean that those who have received favors have to work for the nobles. There must be officials who are loyal to the country, work hard, and are loyal to the court among these people.

Lu Chen also added this point later.

The purpose of the large-scale investigation is to eliminate hidden dangers, so there is no need to kill people. Too much resentment will only affect innocent people, and escalate the situation and force those people into a dead end regardless of good or bad, which is quite unfavorable to the situation.

After more than a year of governance, Lu Chen is no longer the evil boy who didn't care about anything and was determined to die and ascend to heaven. Naturally, he will also consider this point.

So he emphasized that all people can be arrested first, but they can only be controlled, not embarrassed, and they should be screened as strictly as possible, and their past, evaluation, and actions during their tenure should be verified from multiple sources.

Jiang Chengwan listened to Lu Chen's words without getting tired of it, and then looked at Fu Ya.

"Fu Ya, let Xuan Ji Wei handle this matter."

"Yes!"

Fu Ya agreed straightforwardly.

Interrogation, arrest, interrogation, intelligence collection, surveillance, etc. are the duties of Xuan Ji Wei. They are handy to do it, and this kind of work is not difficult. It is just a bit of a heavy workload and does not need the elite Xuan Ji Wei from Xuan Wu Wei to do it. It can be handed over to the new recruits.

With her, a top strongman in the Guiyi Realm, watching over them, they dare not slack off and deal with the matter even if they have a hundred courage, let alone do something reckless.

After the big investigation was finalized, the next issue was the defense of the capital.

This was not Lu Chen's specialty, so Gu Simiao stood up and proposed to strengthen the defense of Tianyun Pass in the east and the riverside area in the south to protect the capital.

Luojing is located in the central part of the Great Xia Empire. Because of Cangming Realm and Gu Simiao, as well as Lu Chen's terrifying reputation in the area centered on Sui and Yu states, the influence of the noble families in the north and west is very low, and there is no need to send heavy troops to guard. Gu Simiao took this into consideration and proposed to arrange the imperial guards in the southern and eastern defense zones just in case.

The most elite Xuanwu Guards, Cangling Guards, and the slightly inferior Qingning Guards, Warrior Camp, etc., will prepare for war on a large scale and be ready to go to war at any time. As long as there are signs of rebellion in the local area, they will immediately send troops to quell the rebellion at the fastest speed, and completely strangle it with thunder and lightning, shocking all directions.

In addition, she also made a lot of suggestions about the garrisons in various places.

For example, ordering a rotation of defense, asking the local Xuanji Guards to strengthen surveillance and send intelligence back to the capital as soon as possible at all costs, recalling key suspects to the capital, controlling their families, withdrawing troops to disrupt the original military organization, and using both kindness and force on some generals, etc.

As the great general of the Great Xia Empire and the top military commander in the world, Gu Si Miao's political level is not very good, but her military level is very strong. After all, before she broke through the Guiyi realm, she was already a world-famous general who shocked the northwest.

After years of fighting, she is not only extremely strong in personal strength, but also has top strategic vision, tactical command, and overall view. She is a complete all-round talent.

Even if we ignore her personal strength and only look at her military qualities, she is a once-in-a-millennium generation of heroes.

When the Huangzhou incident happened, if she really surrendered to Queen Mother Zhao and led hundreds of thousands of Cangling Army to fight Jiang Chengdao, with the geographical advantage and the massive resources of Queen Mother Zhao, it would be hard to say who would win.

Now facing the chain rebellion that may be triggered by the escape of nobles, she can't say that she is handy in dealing with it, but she is also clear and calm.

Although Jiang Chengwan was a little unhappy with Gu Simiao, it was ultimately a private matter that could not be made public. As an emperor, she was never vague about major matters and clearly distinguished between public and private matters. Naturally, she would not have a prejudice against Gu Simiao and not accept her suggestions because of her personal likes and dislikes.

She responded to every suggestion mentioned by Gu Simiao after careful consideration, or supplemented it, or asked questions, and finally nodded in agreement one by one.

In this extremely serious occasion, in front of a group of important ministers of the country, it would be too cheap to care about the love between men and women.

Gu Simiao had just finished what she had to say and sat down when Liu Dongyang and Fang Ping, who were not far away, stood up at the same time, reported the situation in the capital during this period to Jiang Chengwan, and expressed their views on the recent changes.

Mainly the Ministry of War.

Liu Dongyang wanted to take this opportunity to clean up the military and political affairs of Daxia, cut off the redundant and non-combatant legions, and take this opportunity to check the quota situation and take the opportunity to eliminate some of the accumulated problems in the military and political affairs.

Anyway, the situation is already like this, and it can't get any worse. Instead of complaining about yourself and blaming the emperor, it is better to do your best as the Minister of War and find ways to do something for the military and political affairs that have been deteriorating since the reign of Emperor Shenzong in this inevitable change.

Fang Ping, Wu Yue and others have similar ideas.

The people present are all practical people, and none of them can only talk meaningless nonsense, so they all take advantage of the fact that there are no people in the way and put forward their own suggestions.

As one matter after another was established, the sky outside was completely darkened unconsciously.

This emergency meeting in front of the emperor finally ended until the palace gate was about to be locked.

"Okay."

Jiang Chengwan slowly stood up and said to everyone: "Let's stop here today. You have worked hard. Have a good rest when you go back."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Everyone stood up, bowed, and left their seats one after another, preparing to go outside.

"Lu Qing."

Just as Lu Chen was about to leave with the large army, Jiang Chengwan suddenly spoke and called him.

Everyone turned around and looked at Lu Chen and Jiang Chengwan.

Chai Hongyu and others frowned almost at the same time, and their eyes focused slightly on the two.

Under the gazes of everyone with different expressions, Jiang Chengwan spoke naturally and slowly said: "Don't go back yet, I have something to say to you."

? ? ?

Lu Chen's mind was full of question marks.

What the hell?

What can't be said in front of everyone?

And I'm the only one left? Where is the Holy King Cangming? Even he can't listen?

Damn! Aren't you afraid that he will misunderstand something?

Thinking of this, he subconsciously looked at Jiang Chengdao.

However, the latter was wearing a heavy mask as always, and nothing could be seen at all.

Click

The sound of armor interlacing sounded, and the Holy King Cangming seemed to have not heard it, and turned around and left with the large army.

Looking at his leaving back, Lu Chen couldn't help but twitch his mouth. (End of this chapter)
