Imperial Prison!

At the bottom, many torture instruments that have been infected with blood stains are neatly placed on one side.

On the punishment frame are more than a dozen prisoners who are enjoying these shocking punishments. The screams and howls are like ghosts and wolves. The air is filled with a strong smell of blood and rotten smell. The two smells are mixed together, which is disgusting.

In front of the prisoners, under the stench, Xu Feng sat leisurely on the side of the wooden table, drinking wine, and there were a lot of wine and dishes on the table.

Opposite Xu Feng, there was Li Ruolian with a gloomy face. Obviously, he was in no mood to eat the wine and food.

"I have wine and drink today. I am worried tomorrow. I am worried tomorrow. The prisoner is under trial, and the result will naturally come out soon. It's useless for you to be anxious..."

"If the knife is not slashing your neck, you will naturally not be in a hurry!"

Li Ruolian glared at Xu Feng helplessly.

“Hahahahaha…”

Xu Feng laughed, shook his head, but said nothing more.

"If something should not be found later, can the supervisor help me?"

After a while, Li Ruolian gritted his teeth and spoke.

"Help you? How to help?"

Xu Feng was stunned, then frowned and said, "Help you hide it from His Majesty?"

Li Ruolian hesitated for a while, and finally nodded. The fact that the Jinyiwei had an insider would be a devastating blow to himself and the entire Jinyiwei, and he really didn't dare to think about it.

"Do you think your Majesty really cares about the results of your investigation within three days?"

Xu Feng put down his wine glass and chuckled: "I don't have to think about it. There are only a few sources of this group of assassins, including the remnants of the East Factory, and there should be some sects in the world, plus some people in the court and some people in your Jinyiwei to complete the assassination when we welcome the horse."

"Assassins themselves are not important, everyone comes the same. It's just about arranging and cooperating with these assassins."

"You think that your Majesty will never think of something that you dare to hide from it, that is your death date!"

Li Ruolian nodded and didn't say much. He just asked by chance, right and wrong. He naturally could see clearly as the commander of the Jinyiwei.

"But you, the commander of the Jinyiwei, must be really incompetent. When His Majesty ascended the throne, how many troubles happened in the capital? His Majesty, the emperor, came back from his personal expedition and caused such troubles again."

"Look, I see, if this continues, the Jinyiwei may be gone!"

Xu Feng's words made Li Ruolian's expression even more gloomy.

There are many things that cannot be stopped by human power or suppressed by the Jinyiwei. But obviously, the Jinyiwei is responsible for this matter. If something happens, it will naturally be placed on the Jinyiwei's head. This is natural.

Even he, the commander of the Jinyiwei, could not say a word.

However, the Jinyiwei was originally the personal army of the emperor of the previous dynasty. It was because he made the right choice and gained the trust of the emperor that he was able to retain the previous dynasty to the new dynasty, and he was still powerful.

Once this trust is gone, many things will be difficult to say.

"Sir, I've explained."

At this time, the Jinyiwei handed a blood-stained confession to Li Ruolian.

After taking it, Li Ruolian's expression suddenly became even more ugly.

"Go, take people there immediately, and let the Huashan Mountains be sent to the ground, and there is no need to leave any chickens and dogs!"

"Announce the entire world that whoever dares to take in the people from Huashan is considered to be the same crime! Kill the whole family!"

Li Ruolian was furious. The remnants of the East Factory were complicated and hidden too deeply. He could only endure it if he couldn't find him. He was a mere sect who could run away from the monks and temples. He even dared to participate in the assassination of the emperor.

I really think that the Jinyiwei will not kill anyone!

Immediately, Li Ruolian stood up suddenly and clasped his fists at Xu Feng:

"Supervisor, can you follow me to the palace to meet Your Majesty!"

Xu Feng slowly put down his wine glass: "Your Majesty is very fond of martial arts. After destroying Huashan, remember to send the martial arts inheritance of Huashan to the palace..."

Hearing this, Li Ruolian's eyes suddenly lit up, and he almost forgot about this!

Then, he immediately winked at the Jinyiwei beside him, and then walked side by side with Xu Feng, along the dark stairs, towards the outside of the Zhao Prison.

The storm caused by this assassination is still spreading in the capital, and the government and the government are talking about it. The everywhere in the brocaded and tik-haired cavalry also proves that this storm will probably not be small.

The outside world was turmoil, but Li Xiu had already left this matter behind the source of everything. He had been in charge of the imperial army for more than a year. In more than a year, so many things happened in the middle, and the government affairs were accumulated.

The most important thing is that the emptiness of the court and local officials caused by the rebellion of King Shou and the reforms are imminent.

Today, the provinces of Daheng seem to coexist with three ruling institutions.

One is the traditional civil servants govern the country, the second is the local garrison, guarding and governing one area, and the third is the major border towns, integrating military and political affairs, and commanding the army and governing the local area.

Under his deliberate suppression, the influence of the traditional civil servant system has been reduced to the lowest level. This is also the most important reason why after the news of the reform in Liaodong spread, except for the out-of-control area of ​​Jiangnan, the rest of the world were mostly the most important reason for the heavy thunder and little rain.

After all, to resist, you must have the strength to resist.

There is no military force, no power, no external enemy assistance, and even business is under the jurisdiction of the money shop directly under the inner court, which is already a huge money shop.

Even the usual tricks of hoarding goods, buying low and selling high, thus bringing public opinion and suppressing the government cannot cause any storm.

In this way, what he had to deal with was to further differentiate Daheng's former Ming ministers.

We will win over those who obey, suppress those who resist, and gradually eliminate the ruling system of civil servants.

In the future, governing the country will inevitably depend on literati.

The relationship between civil and military affairs is a check and balance, and any one dominant family is a deformed existence.

Although the current military and political integration has strengthened his mastery of various places in his hands, it will take not many years for the warlords of the vassal states to take shape.

It can be said that now he relies on the foundation he relies on and continues to grow. If he does not reverse and change it in time, it will not be the biggest threat to the entire Great Heng world in many years.

Of course, at least now, he still has absolute prestige in the army, such as the governor of Shaanxi and the governor of the three sides of the capital, and the two "heads of the vassal states" who are the largest "fairy leaders" in Daheng. With the order, he changed his position.

These two largest "fairy towns" in Daheng were directly split. Obviously, he would no longer have a governor.

Of course, under the great strategy of reform, which is contrary to the hearts of the world, the people who can be used can be said to have dropped to freezing point.

In this way, he naturally could not destroy his martial arts and rely on the army to maintain his power, so he still had to continue to maintain it.

However, it was divided into "large vassal states" into "small vassal states".

In the future, reforms will be implemented and people in the world will be stable, and then slowly reverse and change the disadvantages brought about by the unity of military and political affairs.

In the end, when the traditional stable situation is reached, a prosperous era will naturally appear.

As his thoughts circulated, Li Xiu seemed to have thought of something, but suddenly laughed at himself.

He has always disliked the Qing Dynasty, but now, his path of rule is no different from that of the Qing Dynasty.

The Qing Dynasty started with the Jurchens and ruled the large clans with small clans. Under the differences in ethnic groups, coupled with the Jurchens' deliberately raised status, the Qing emperor naturally had an extremely reliable basic foundation.

Whether for the sake of ethnic group or status, the Jurchens naturally supported the Qing emperors on this Han territory, among the Han people all over the world, and in the clear distinction between Manchu and Han.

They strongly supported and maintained the power and status of the Qing emperors and maintained the rule of the Qing Dynasty. In this way, their status and power can continue to be maintained.

Coupled with the initial great military power of the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty, the unstoppable power!

This is also why the Eight Banners Horses stepped onto the Central Plains, leaving behind countless blood and tragic worlds, and still make the people of the world kneel down and sing to conquer.

Such an unbreakable basic foundation is naturally enough to support Yongzheng's new policy reform. Of course, this is also the reason why even Yongzheng is as wise as he does not use too many means to the corrupt bannermen.

The reason is that his rule and the rule of the Qing Dynasty are the bannermen!

And the path he is now is actually no different from that of the Qing Dynasty.

His basic foundation is Wu Xun!

However, what is different from the Qing Dynasty is that the basic plate of the Qing Dynasty, the bannermen, as long as they deliberately maintain the difference between Manchu and Han, and then maintain the status gap between Banners and Han people, under the differences in ethnic groups, the basic plate of the Qing Dynasty will not change color. Even if it is corrupt, even if there are internal differences, it will always surround the Qing emperor and serve as the foundation for the rule of the Qing emperor.

But no matter how many methods he uses, his basic military honor will be slowly integrated into the world's interests and various unstoppable rules without the natural and irreversible differences of the race.

This is something that no one can avoid.

Obviously, he must build the framework of the major reform he wants to complete and set the tone when this basic foundation is still pure and useful.

Otherwise, when time evolves and the world is stable, he will want to implement this reform again, which is really a delusion!

Why did Your Majesty rebel?

This absurd statement is probably the fact.

Of course, this is just a temporary basic platform and has such benefits.

At least, his ruling foundation will change with time and will not rely entirely on a single class as it is now.

But it is obvious that the current problem is no longer how to implement reforms. With his deliberate maintenance, Wu Xun's interests are already consistent with his will.

In this way, in the north, the implementation of reforms will naturally not be a problem.

What he has to consider now is not only the governance of the government, but most importantly, it is to consider how to maintain the subsequent reform strategies, rather than the destruction of the people!

Whether it is the past, present, or future, the first element of dominating the world is to enable the people to survive.

Only in this way can the world be stable. Otherwise, no matter whether the people cannot survive and become turbulent or the turbulence is used by those with ulterior motives, it will be enough to disrupt the world.

His reforms were naturally due to this reason.

His idea was naturally to lift the maritime ban, develop commerce and even maritime trade, so that the powerful people no longer have their eyes on the land, and they can be regarded as a huge amount of wealth, and they will not be piled up on the land.
To be continued...
