Chapter 524 House Search!

"If there is something to report, report it early. If there is nothing to do, leave the court."

Since Li Zhao ascended the throne, he has been the emperor for almost three years.

She is now able to deal with the many ministers in the court calmly. Her mood is no longer as turbulent as when she first ascended the throne. She wanted to order her attendants to drive some people out of the palace.

With the pacification of the Wu Wang Rebellion, the demeanor of the civil and military officials in the court is obviously much more relaxed, as if the huge stone pressing on their hearts has been removed.

A minister walked out slowly, bowed and said:

"Your Majesty, now that the King of Wu has just been destroyed, I request to divide the Wu vassal state and change it into counties to consolidate the foundation of the country."

"What the secretary said is very true."

After hearing this, Li Zhao pondered for a moment, narrowed his eyes slightly, nodded and said: "Then let the Ministry of Revenue formulate a regulation, and then order the Ministry of Personnel to select a group of honest officials to be transferred to the Wu vassal state to appease the people and handle civil affairs."

The rebellion of the King of Wu was quelled, and it was only natural that his fiefdom was taken back by the court.

"Your Majesty, the Ministry of Revenue has prepared personnel and can go to the Wu vassal state to investigate the King of Wu at any time and hold him accountable."

At this time, an official from the Ministry of Revenue stepped out and started the highlight of today's court meeting.

That is to confiscate the property!

Since the King of Wu died, the wealth and savings he left in Wu naturally made countless ministers in the court salivate.

As the saying goes, when a whale falls, all things come to life, which is probably exactly the same as the death of the King of Wu.

However, just when the court officials were eager to seize the property of the King of Wu, the calm voice of the superior Li Zhao sounded:

"I have ordered the general of Yulin to handle the matter of sealing, so you don't have to worry about it."

When these words came out, the expressions of the officials were quite interesting.

The most shocked ones were the officials of the Ministry of Revenue.

But the emperor had made a decision, what could they do?

Helpless.

After retiring,

Li Zhao went to the imperial study to handle state affairs as usual.

Speaking of.

Why did she choose to let Lin Chen go to Wu Fan to confiscate the property?

Of course, Li Zhao also knew that the King of Wu had been operating in the northwest for many years, and his family savings must be considerable.

Although as the behind-the-scenes backer of Ziwei Chamber of Commerce, Li Zhao's small treasury is much better than when he first ascended the throne!

At least she would not be dissuaded and reprimanded by many imperial officials just when she intended to repair a palace, asking her to "sympathize" with the people's strength.

But compared with some ministers' mansions, where a meal costs thousands of taels of silver, Li Zhao obviously cannot reach that level of luxury.

And she wanted Lin Chen to search the house because Lin Chen was her trusted minister.

In addition to not wanting the money to be embezzled, more importantly, she didn't want the money to end up in the hands of the Ministry of Revenue.

Even the old emperor would not think that he had too much money.

Moreover, in today's court, it is difficult to move forward without money.

Li Zhao, who is well aware of this truth, naturally has to hold the money bag tightly in his own hands.

Lin Chen, who was far away in Sichuan, soon received the order from Li Zhao, ordering him to go to Wu Fan to search the house.

Wow!

Lin Chen was very interested in the job of searching the house.

It's just a pity that among the assisting officials sent by Li Zhao, there was no clever little ghost named Duolong.

"Search the house?!"

Tong Piaoyun, who was originally going to take Lin Chen to Xixia to seek revenge on Li Qiushui, was also very interested after hearing the news.

Seeing this, Lin Chen teased, "Why, you're not going to Xixia?"

"What's wrong with postponing it for ten days?" Tong Piaoyun said disapprovingly.

In front of the emperor's order, Lin Chen had a reasonable excuse to leave Sichuan.

But before leaving, he still needed to properly handle the follow-up matters.

For example, transfer the two guards of Huaiyang back to Beijing for rest.

There are many generals who have made meritorious contributions in the two guards of Huaiyang this time, and they all need the emperor's reward.

Then there is Qin Liangyu.

Lin Chen has already written to Li Zhao, suggesting that the soldiers who are good at fighting in the southwest and the chieftain tribes who are loyal to the court be trained into a new guard and incorporated into the Beijing Camp.

As for why they should be incorporated into the name of the Beijing Camp?

Naturally, Lin Chen intends to add sand to the Beijing Camp.

I think Li Zhao will not refuse his letter.

The main reason is that Wang Ziteng is too lame.

In the original book, Wang Ziteng is the governor of the Beijing Camp, but looking through the whole book, he has not done much.

It can be seen that his talent is only average.

The Beijing Camp has been led by Zhao Kuangyin for several years. There are military merits and intrigues, and the internal ecology is extremely complex.

Just to sort out these things, Wang Ziteng has worked hard.

It can be seen that within three years, the Beijing Camp is completely useless!

As far as the situation of Li Tang is concerned, Li Zhao can't sit idly by and watch the decline of the Beijing Camp.

After all, the rebellion of the King of Wu is just the tip of the iceberg. Who knows which king of a different surname will rise up next time? Or is the border in danger?

So Lin Chen's suggestion is.

Recruit local strong soldiers and appoint local military generals to break the old pattern of the Beijing Camp.

Facts have proved that after Li Zhao saw Lin Chen's letter, her eyes lit up.

She is indeed troubled by the affairs of the Beijing Camp, and even considered replacing the governor of the Beijing Camp.

The best choice now is to let General Lin Chenjia of the Yulin take this position.

After all, Lin Chen has both reputation and achievements, and the ministers in the court will not object.

However, Li Zhao was not reassured!

No matter what, she was still the emperor, a loner in name only.

The Yulin Guard was the direct line trained by Lin Chen. If the Beijing Camp was assigned to Lin Chen, his power would probably be greater than that of Zhao Kuangyin in the past!

Even if Li Zhao trusted Lin Chen, he could not stop Lin Chen from having subordinates who would say, "It's cold, please put on more clothes!"

What would she do then?

I am afraid that she will be locked up in the palace by this traitor and forced to bear a child for him? !

Li Zhao shuddered at the thought of this possibility.

Therefore, she would never let Lin Chen control all the military power in the capital. Even though she knew that Wang Ziteng's ability was limited, she could only accept it with a pinch of her nose.

However, Lin Chen's suggestion gave her a new idea.

"Transfer local strong soldiers to fill the Beijing camp?"

Li Zhao began to think about whether this plan was feasible, and finally decided to give it a try.

So, on the way to Wu Fan, Qin Liangyu, the two brothers of the Qin family, and Qin Kui were all summoned to Beijing by Li Zhao.

So, on the way to Wu Fan, Qin Liangyu, the two brothers of the Qin family, and Qin Kui were all summoned to Beijing by Li Zhao.

There were also 15,000 white-pole soldiers entering Beijing with the Qin family.

Because of Qin Kui's reputation and the good job of being a Beijing soldier, the people of Shizhu were vying to follow him, fearing that it would be too late.

Therefore, 15,000 white-pole soldiers were easily recruited and immediately entered Beijing.

As for Qin Liangyu herself, she was still a little dizzy.

She didn't expect that she would really become a military officer as Lin Chen joked when he saw her.

You know, she is a woman, and her official position is three levels higher than her elder brothers Qin Banghan and Qin Bangping!

Could it be that the general of the Yulin Army made a great contribution?

Qin Liangyu couldn't help but think about it, and when she thought about the absurdity of those days in the military tent, her pretty face blushed slightly.

Of course.

Qin Liangyu was wrong.

It was simply that Li Zhao was also a woman, and after learning about Qin Liangyu's affairs, she intended to help her.

However, Li Zhao still sent a confidant to be Qin Liangyu's deputy general for the newly trained Beijing Camp White-Pole Soldiers.

This person was none other than Mu Guiying!

As soon as this news came out, it immediately became the talk of the town.

After all, since ancient times, there has never been a military commander and deputy commander who were both women!

It can only be said that the emperor is really unconventional in employing people nowadays.
