Monarch of Evernight: 119 Release of Rights

bsp;In this war on the Void Floating Continent, the empire has made every possible effort to seize the upper hand, but it is still difficult to hold on to this advantage.

The imperial capital hundreds of thousands of miles away was not at peace either. When the national war broke out, a storm arose in the court to rectify military affairs and Qingming government affairs. After being liquidated, the evil deeds and bad habits of the lords and lords everywhere were wiped out.

The wealthy family restrained their children while watching with cold eyes. Nowadays, His Majesty's maternal family is not visible, and his wife's family has changed frequently. It took twenty years after he took the throne to make such a big move, which is nothing more than to consolidate power. It was just that it was far-fetched to reduce the vassal state in the name of ZTE before, but now it is taking advantage of the national destiny war to take advantage of the great cause.

Today is another court meeting. The civil officials, military generals, and nobles in the solemn Lingyun Main Hall are standing in their respective ranks. Among the nobles are the princes of clans and heads of aristocratic families. They are all dignified, calm and dignified.

There are many more new faces among the political officers headed by the cabinet and the military generals headed by the military department. Although they are relatively low in rank, they are all young and strong men in their forties, and their unconcealed determination is impressive. Looking sideways, they also have one thing in common. They are not from high backgrounds. Most of them come from ordinary families, and some even come from poor families.

Although Zhang Boqian was the marshal of the empire, he was not among the generals. He was dressed in black and gold royal robes and stood at the front of the line of honorable men. Zhang Boqian was ennobled as a Heavenly King, and was still above the Zongwang in the imperial system. The other four Heavenly Kings had long since ceased to hold military and political positions, and of course they would not come to attend court meetings. Naturally, he was the first among the nobles.

Another person like him, who is an imperial marshal but is not among the generals, is Lin Xitang. The first vacant position in the queue of civil servants belonged to him, but Lin Xitang had not appeared in court meetings several times in a row due to recurring injuries. But just looking at the newcomers in Lingyun's main hall, it can be seen that this emperor's confidant was absent from the court meeting, but he was never absent from state affairs.

As time passed and the court affairs passed one by one, the atmosphere in Lingyun's main hall became more and more stagnant, and some people who were sensitive to state affairs began to feel that something was wrong.

The matters discussed in the court today seem to involve many fields such as civil affairs, armaments, and local security. In fact, the results of the handling follow one principle, which is to restore Taizu's laws.

This principle itself is not wrong. When the Qin Dynasty was founded, the imperial family and the aristocratic families jointly governed the world. They agreed on rules and regulations with each other. Each had their own jurisdiction and each settled in his or her own place. This is how the empire prospered today. It's just that time washes away people's hearts, and for the benefit of themselves and even their blood relatives, integrity will always be worn away bit by bit. No matter how good the regulations are, if they cannot be adhered to, it will corrupt the world more than having no rules.

Take the example of killing three generations of meritorious officials, but in fact there is another sentence behind it, no matter how high or low the people's favor is. In the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, ministers with meritorious deeds who opened up new territories could protect their descendants for three generations. However, regardless of whether they were nobles or civilians, the rewards should be the same. Just how much this article is actually implemented, everyone in Lingyun Palace has a different account in their hearts.

However, these are not the focus of today's meeting.

"The King of Heaven does not lead troops. According to this example, the imperial military zones should be re-delineated." The young inspector spoke the last sentence clearly and closed the thick report in his hand as if nothing had happened.

There was silence in Lingyun's main hall for a while.

Everything in today's meeting sounds like a reaffirmation of Taizu's laws, but the last sentence is clearly pointed at only one person, King Qingyang, the Imperial Marshal Zhang Boqian.

The practice of the Heavenly King not leading troops began in the founding years of the Republic of China. Taizu's half-brother Baihe Wang immediately handed over his military power after he was promoted to Heavenly King. Since then, it has become a custom. Whenever there is a big battle in the empire, the Heavenly King will take charge of the overall situation, but will not care about military affairs. .

It's just that except for the period of Emperor Zhong's revival, the strong men of the human race generally have to go through a period of time, that is, they can't reach the rank of Heavenly King until they are sixty years old. Moreover, being entangled in secular affairs will affect their cultivation, and those who have the potential to advance to the rank of Heavenly King Generally speaking, people will not hold court positions. This custom has almost been forgotten.

In fact, what is more eye-catching than the King not leading troops is the re-division of the imperial military districts, which is a real redistribution of power.

The current Imperial Military Region corresponds to the ten current Imperial Marshals. The marshal is the most powerful military position in the Qin Dynasty. He has the power to recruit, train and command regular legions in the military region. In wartime, he can allocate various resources in the name of military supplies. His authority is almost the same as that of local hereditary lords, which is almost equivalent to that of the imperial family. The control of the family fiefdom was gone. Because of this, the heads of powerful families have never been able to hold the position of marshal at the same time.

The inspector who dropped such a heavy force bomb seemed to have no idea what kind of uproar his words would cause. He turned his head without fear, just in time to catch Zhang Boqian's cold gaze.

Most of the eyes in Lingyun's main hall were focused on the two of them.

Fang Qingkong, the right envoy of the Cabinet Inspection Department, is in his early forties and can be considered young and promising among the dignitaries in the palace. However, his reputation has nothing to do with a bright future. This man looks gentle and gentle, but his methods of doing things are fierce and brutal. Even the Military Police looked at him with suspicion. From the day he entered the Supervision Department, he openly said that he would be a mad dog at the feet of Lin Shuai.

This is such a person, who has lived well for seven years and has risen from the lowest rank to the third-ranked right-hand position in the company. There may be more people who want his life than those who want to kill Lin Xitang.

Zhang Boqian only glanced at Fang Qingkong, then turned away indifferently, "If you want to take my handsome seal, you can ask Lin Xitang to get it himself."

The entire Lingyun Palace was suddenly so quiet that you could hear the embroidery needles falling, and even the breathing of many people seemed to be faint.

Everyone knew Zhang Boqian’s character well, so his answer would be unexpected, but they still didn’t expect that he would accept such a big event so easily. Zhang Boqian never pretends to be conceited. He says it's okay and it's okay. For a time, no matter whether they stayed out of the matter, wanted to fish in troubled waters, or planned to support one of the parties, they didn't know what expression to make.

Fang Qingkong reacted the fastest and said with a full smile: "If no matter how big or small, Marshal Lin needs to do everything, then what do we need to do?"

Zhang Boqian said calmly: "If you want to seek death, you are not qualified."

At this time, behind the heavy curtains, in the mist, the voice of the Empire Supreme came, filling every corner of Lingyun's main hall, "The cabinet will draft a document for today's court meeting, and the unresolved matters will be handed over to the cabinet and the military department." , the three parties of the Zongfu agreed to withdraw from the court."

The ministers bowed politely, and then left one after another amid the sound of bells and chimes. Only at this time did people gather together in twos and threes, whispering by the way.

The imperial twins had different political views from the day they entered the court. As Zhang Boqian was crowned king, the conflict between the two men not only failed to ease, but became increasingly irreconcilable, until it intensified during the **** battle of the Iron Curtain.

Many important ministers knew very well that Zhang Boqian had no appointment when he first appeared in Yongye Continent, but to suppress the imperialists who had obvious intentions of reducing the vassal state. As a result, Lin Xitang was dragged into the eternal night. For a time, he could not control the situation in the imperial capital. The imperial party split, and one of the factions even turned against Lin Xitang. If the sleep of the beast had not appeared after the battle between the gods and ghosts, and drew the attention of the government and the public to the battle between the camps, who knows what would have happened. What will it develop into?

Most people guessed that Lin Xitang would fight back if he had his hands free, but no one expected that he would act so recklessly and directly propose to remove Zhang Boqian from his position as marshal.

However, if you think about it further, the resistance from the outside will not be too great. Zhang Clan always came out on top in the **** battles and the Battle of Sleep of Behemoths. Therefore, even the wealthy families who stood beside Zhang Boqian to resist the reduction of the vassal would not want to see Zhang Clan continue to grow in power. At most, they would remain neutral.

As for the redefinition of military zones proposed by Fang Qingkong, it will be implemented sooner or later. The battle with the Yongye camp for control of the Void Floating Continent will be a protracted war, and the empire's local defense system must be adjusted accordingly. But when this matter was raised together with the request for Zhang Boqian to resign, many people began to admire him.

No matter how deserving of criticism Fang Qingkong was, his response in front of Zhang Boqian today was enough to make those top dignitaries look down upon him.

Gong Wei first sighed to Duke You: "Is Dayan Tianji Jue really so magical? Lin Xitang has always been accurate in judging people. It is rare for such a talent to be so loyal to him." He Suddenly he remembered something and sighed, "Oh, what a pity! That boy from the Song family and Zhang Clan are getting closer and closer."

Duke You knew that Duke Wei had taken a fancy to Song Zining before he became famous. When all the victory in Black Liu City went to Zhao Clan, Duke Wei came to find out whether Zhao Clan was trying to recruit him.

But Song Zining rose too fast, and his break with the Song clan caught people off guard. It was also reported that Zhao Jundu was not happy with him. By the time everyone recovered from these dazzling news, Song Zining already had someone in Zhang Boqian's command. a place. Now if you want to conquer him, it will no longer be possible through simple inducement or coercion.

Speaking of Song Zining, Duke Youguo Zhao Xuanji immediately thought of Qianye and the secret report he had just received in the early morning, and a burst of depression suddenly filled his heart. What is genius? The most important thing their Zhao clan lacks is genius! But looking at Zhao Weihuang's children, none of them are worry-free.

At this time, a secret report with the same content was placed on the desk at the Zhao Clan's camp in the distance, with Zhao Junyi, the eldest son of the fourth son of the Zhao Clan, sitting at the top. Among the brothers, he most closely resembles Zhao Weihuang. He has stayed in the army since he became an adult, and his every move has a tough military demeanor.

He glanced at the two younger brothers below, his eyes stopped on Zhao Jundu, and asked: "What's going on? Why does Zhao Qianye appear on the list of guests of the Li family in Jingtang?"

The one who answered was Zhao Junhong. He took the secret report on the case and flipped through it, and said calmly: "Qianye is an excellent ultra-long-range sniper, with expertise in visual range, and the foggy forest terrain is very suitable for him. Besides, considering that he ranks so high among the guests, the Li family should have given him more than the normal reward."

Zhao Junyi frowned deeply. The reason mentioned by the second child was suitable for any free and powerful person, but it would be ridiculous to apply it to Qianye. He and his half-brother had never met, and there was no talk of likes and dislikes. But Zhao Jundu was different. He had caused several disturbances in the clan because of Qianye.
