Huang Yaoshi has a slim appearance, a tall and thin figure, a graceful appearance, a handsome figure, and a godlike appearance. He is wearing a straight green dress and a square scarf of the same color on his head, giving him the appearance of a scholar.
In the Shengtian Hall, Qin Wei looked at Huang Yaoshi and said with a gentle smile: "Sir, please sit down!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Huang Yaoshi said respectfully.
Naturally, Qin Wei knew Huang Yaoshi very well. Qin Wei knew everything about Huang Yaoshi clearly without Huang Yaoshi having to say it himself.
Huang Yaoshi was withdrawn, deviant, arrogant and unruly. He knew everything from astronomy to geography, the Five Elements and Bagua, economics and military strategy, and he was master of all of them.
He knows many skills, such as the magical power of snapping fingers, orchid acupoint brushing hand, Yuxiao sword technique, Luoying Shenjian palm, Bihaitide song and so on.
He can also refine nine-flower jade dew pills, impermanence pills and other elixirs.
He is also proficient in strange arithmetic and arranges peach blossom formations.
For these, Qin Wei is a treasure trove.
As for Huang Yaoshi's strength, it goes without saying that his innate cultivation has reached the realm of perfection, and he is only one step away from breaking through.
His strength should not be inferior to Ye Gucheng.
However, Qin Wei hesitated for a long time about Huang Yaoshi's arrangement, and finally arranged for him to be admitted to Qingfu Mountain.
Huang Yaoshi's character is too aloof and arrogant, a bit more arrogant than Ye Gucheng. Such a person is definitely not suitable to hang out in the court, and it will definitely not work for him to join the court as an official. Qin Wei thinks that he should concentrate on practicing in the future and serve as a great general.
The offering of glass.
As a dynasty, Dali needs a lot of talents. Civil servants and military generals are the most middle-level forces, and all kinds of strong people are the foundation.
Although those innate warriors on Qingfu Mountain usually don't show off, they are actually Dali's most important heritage.
After all, this world is a world of cultivation. Simple civil servants and generals are only the foundation. What can really make Dali powerful are those strong ones.
After seeing Huang Yaoshi off, Qin Wei waited for a while in the study.
It wasn't until a beautiful figure appeared at the door of the study that he cheered up.
"Li Hanyi pays homage to His Majesty!"
Xueyue Sword Immortal Li Hanyi!
Li Hanyi, from the animation "Young Song Xing". He is the second city lord of Xueyue City, the largest city in the world, and the Xueyue Sword Immortal, one of the five great sword immortals in the world.
She was expelled from the Lei family when she was 11 years old, and later became a disciple of Li Changsheng, the lord of Xueyue City. She practiced swordsmanship until she was 14 years old. After her younger brother was born, she went to Tianqi City alone. At the age of 19, she carried Tingyu Sword, one of the "Four Fengya Swords".
Leave Tianqi City and travel around the world with Baili Dongjun and Sikong Changfeng.
During the Demon Sect's Eastern Expedition, Xueyue City fought against it as a righteous force in the world. Li Hanyi used one person's power to smash the swords in the hands of eight elders of the Demon Sect.
From that day on, Li Hanyi was known as the "Sword Immortal".
Seeing Li Hanyi standing in front of him wearing a white cloak, Qin Wei once again felt an unreal feeling in his heart.
Her eyebrows are picturesque, elegant and refined.
She is the subject of the painting, the real subject of the painting.
Qin Wei's expression moved slightly and he said: "Young lady in cold clothes is exempt from the courtesy!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Li Hanyi saluted and stood up.
Her face was plain, and she seemed to have the look of an iceberg beauty, but her clear, dazzling eyes did not give anyone a cold feeling at all.
"Sit!" Qin Wei pointed to the chair next to him and said with a smile.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Li Hanyi thanked him again.
Qin Wei nodded slightly, thought for a while and said, "The future safety of this imperial city will be left to you!"
Li Hanyi is not just a beauty, she is a true Jingzhao Realm powerhouse. Both her cultivation and artistic conception are far superior to those of the Three Innate Realms.
Naturally, such a being should be kept by his side as his bodyguard.
Li Hanyi nodded in agreement without saying much, so he agreed.
Qin Wei did not talk much with Li Hanyi. He only chatted for a few words and then asked someone to temporarily place her in the side hall.
The arrival of Medicine Master Dongxie Huang and Xueyue Sword Immortal Li Hanyi increased the strength of Qin Wei's men again, especially the arrival of Li Hanyi, which gave Qin Wei a lot of confidence.
In the following days, Qin Wei stayed in Shengtian Palace, familiarizing himself with the affairs of the court, and began to make plans for Dali's future development.
This world is a world that focuses on cultivation. Whether it is a dynasty or a royal court, powerful cultivators are the most important force.
If Dali wants to become stronger, he must have more strong people.
Not just the top strong ones, but also the middle and bottom strong ones.
The first question before Qin Wei was how to cultivate strong men.
Dali has the Imperial Academy to train Confucian practitioners, the Martial Arts Pavilion to train martial artists, and hundreds of sects to train all kinds of practitioners.
But in Qin Wei's view, this is not enough.
Cultivation depends on talent, and there are many people who have talent in cultivation.
Even if we were to pick one out of ten thousand, Dali, with a population of ninety million, could still pick out ninety thousand geniuses.
But most of the geniuses are buried among the people.
Many people in Dali have never been exposed to the way of cultivation. In the eyes of most people, warriors are high-ranking figures.
Even a low-level warrior is out of reach for them.
But do they really have no qualifications for cultivation?
Give them enough resources, can't they become strong?
uncertain!
Therefore, how to tap the geniuses among the people, how to cultivate a large number of warriors, and how to create truly strong men are the problems that Qin Wei wants to solve.
More than thirty years ago, Emperor Lao Li issued a martial law to increase the number of warriors within Dali by improving the status of warriors. Although the martial law eventually created many problems, it also raised Dali's military force to an unprecedented level.
.
But now Qin Wei wants to surpass the old emperor and formulate a more systematic warrior training system.
However, the training of warriors relies heavily on resources. How to allocate resources reasonably is also a big problem for Qin Wei.
For a few days, whenever Qin Wei had free time, he thought about how to establish Dali's warrior training system.
It wasn't until Situ Qianxue came to Kyoto that Qin Wei temporarily put aside the matter.
Situ Qianxue's coming to Beijing not only means that she, the queen, has taken the throne, but also means that the imperial harem has entered a normal state.
You must know that the old emperor's harem has been in existence for a long time. Now that Qin Wei has ascended the throne, the harem will naturally be established.
The harem is not just a place for Qin Wei to enjoy his beauty. The family, country and the royal family are very important to a dynasty.
The empress who cared for the world, and the concubine who continued to produce heirs. Although Dali stipulated that the harem was not allowed to interfere in politics, the harem could affect the stability of the court in some aspects.
So after Situ Qianxue came to the imperial city, Qin Wei deliberately took two days to accompany Situ Qianxue in the imperial city. At the same time, he also explained a lot of things about the harem to Situ Qianxue.
He also recruited the old eunuch Luo Gonggong to assist Situ Qianxue in managing the harem.
Qin Wei had only one requirement for the harem, and that was stability.
He didn't want to face a bunch of concubines competing for favor all day long.
Fortunately, Situ Qianxue is not a jealous person, which makes Qin Wei very satisfied.
Just when Qin Wei was getting familiar with the government and stabilizing the harem, there was also a turmoil inside and outside Dali because of his ascension to the throne.
The new emperor's accession to the throne will have a huge impact on the entire Dali.
This represents the passing of an era and the arrival of a new era.
The death of the old emperor caused unprecedented panic among the officials in various states.
Perhaps when the old emperor was around, no one felt it, but when the old emperor was away, the whole Dali seemed to have lost its backbone.
This is the majesty accumulated by the old emperor during his forty-six years in power, and Qin's power is far inferior.
With the changes in the cabinet, many unfavorable voices emerged in Dali's official circles, but fortunately these were still within control.
In fact, the change in the cabinet was Qin Wei's test of Dali's officialdom. He wanted to eliminate the old emperor's influence on the court as soon as possible and then further control the court.
So far, the situation is pretty good.
The inside of Dali is relatively stable, but the outside of Dali is already turbulent.
In the eyes of outsiders, after the death of the old emperor, Dali entered his weakest period. Naturally, the forces in the royal court who coveted Dali would not miss such an opportunity. They bared their fangs and prepared to attack Dali when he was weak.
Take a big bite.
November 23rd, Taketori 46th year.
King Haili gathered 200,000 troops, and Chen Bing was a hundred miles south of Nanmu City.
The Yuwu Royal Court gathered 150,000 troops, combined with the 100,000 troops of the Sanmiao Royal Court, and marched to the south bank of the Nanyuan River.
November 28th.
The ten kingdoms in the Western Regions, headed by the Fire Worshiping Royal Court, gathered millions of troops to suppress the borders of Yuanzhou and Liangzhou in the west of Dali.
The first day of December.
Southeast of Dali, King Lu Sheng's court mobilized 5,000 ships and dispatched an army of 100,000 to prepare for battle.
Coupled with the 300,000 soldiers from the northern Rong tribe stationed in Yunyan City, Dali was suddenly surrounded by dangers from all sides.
Shengtian Hall, inside the Imperial Study Room.
Qin Wei looked at the urgent notes in his hand with a solemn look on his face.
"Go and summon some governors."
"Here!"
Eunuch Lu responded.
Xiao Shunzi stood nearby with his eyes rolling.
After he returned to Beijing with Situ Qianxue, Qin Wei stayed by his side.
However, Eunuch Lu is still the eunuch in charge of the Chief of Ceremonies. He, the little eunuch, is just a follower of Qin Wei, and he has no name in the Chief of Ceremonies.
Originally, he had thought that after returning to Beijing, he would definitely join the Supervisor of Ceremonies, and he might replace Eunuch Lu in the future.
But after he came back, he found that Qin Wei had no intention of letting him join the ceremonial supervisor, which made him a little depressed.
Of course, he did not dare to provoke Eunuch Lu. Although he was somewhat ambitious, he also understood that Eunuch Lu's status was not so easily shaken.
Let’s not talk about Eunuch Lu’s status in the imperial city. Let’s talk about Eunuch Lu’s strength. It is not something that ordinary people can afford.
"Go and ask Zhao Gao and Wang An to come over!"
Just when Xiao Shunzi was thinking wildly, Qin Wei ordered.
"Here!"
Xiao Shunzi came to his senses, responded quickly, and then went to find Zhao Gao and Wang An.
Zhao Gao is in charge of Luo Wang, Wang An is in charge of the Imperial City Department, and Mr. Lu is in charge of the order takers. This is the current situation of the three secret agencies in the imperial city.
Qin Wei intended to combine Luo Wen and the life-taker into one, but for the time being, he did not say it out loud to save Eunuch Lu's face.
After a while, several governors from the Fifth Army Commandery Office in Beijing arrived.
The right governor of the Chinese Army Governor's Mansion, Lu Zhiyue, Duke Dali Rong, and the left governor were named Li Xun. However, Li Xun rarely interfered in the affairs of the governor's mansion, and since Li Xun was still in Yunyan City, he naturally could not come.
The former military governor on the left was Mu Changxin, Duke Jing of Dali, and the right governor was He Jing, the Northern Marquis of Dali Town. He Jing also followed Li Xun to Yunyan City before, and is not in Kyoto now.
Zhou Hai, the Marquis of Nancheng, was the right commander of the Rear Army Governor's Mansion.
Bai Sheng, Ning Guogong, the left governor of the Zuo Army Governor's Mansion.
…
Except for those who are not in Kyoto, there are currently seven left and right governors in Kyoto, all of whom are present.
Qin Wei glanced at the crowd, and his eyes rested on Ning Guo Gong Bai Sheng, Jing Guo Gong Mu Changxin and Rong Guo Gong Lu Zhiyue.
The three of them are now the only three remaining princes in Dali.
The three of them represent the Xungui Group, and Qin Wei doesn't have much favorable impressions of Xungui.
It has been more than three hundred years since the founding of the Dali Dynasty, and now most of the noble families have become the worms of the Dali Dynasty. Only a few noble families like Li Ji and He Jing are still the pillars of the dynasty.
However, in the past, the old emperor often dealt with nobles, so now these nobles are quite honest. Especially after the Chengguo Duke's mansion was confiscated and their families were exterminated, the nobles are as honest as a flock of quails.
"Now that Dali is surrounded by enemies, do you have any good ideas?" Qin Wei asked in a calm tone.
Bai Sheng, Mu Changxin and Lu Zhiyue, who were standing at the forefront of the crowd, looked at each other. Bai Sheng said, "Your Majesty, please immediately dispatch troops to support the border. Lord Li Xun is temporarily stationed in Yunyan City in the north.
No worries, the western frontier army should dispatch the Yuanzhou, Liangzhou, and Sizhou garrison troops to support, and then dispatch the left army governor's office 200,000 forbidden troops to support. In the south, Nanmu City is temporarily blocking it, and Lan Yuehou is in charge, so Yun can be dispatched.
Prefecture, Shuzhou garrison to support, and then dispatch 200,000 forbidden troops from the rear army governor's office to support."
"As for the southeastern coastal areas, the South China Sea Navy and the East China Sea Navy are enough."
Bai Sheng spoke unhurriedly, obviously they had discussed countermeasures before coming.
After Qin Wei listened, he nodded slightly.
The countermeasures Bai Sheng mentioned are quite reasonable. If you provide nearby support and let the Forbidden Army stand out, they may not be able to reach the border in time, but it is enough to deal with the current situation.
Although Dali has experienced a lot of shocks in the past and suffered a lot of losses in the army in various places, Dali is still considered to be a strong force and can fight a tough battle with the Royal Court of the Four Directions.
It's just that Qin Wei doesn't want to get entangled with the four royal courts now. Let's not talk about Dali's current situation. Just having a war on all sides is not a trivial matter.
When a large army is dispatched, food and grass must go first. When a hundred thousand troops are dispatched, three hundred thousand civilians are needed to take care of the logistics.
According to what Bai Sheng said, if nearly two million troops are to be mobilized to participate in the war, the number of civilians to be mobilized will reach six to seven million.
Countless amounts of money and food were consumed in this process. With Dali's current national strength, it may be able to support it for a while, but after this battle is over, Dali will also be impoverished and suffer endless consequences.
Qin Wei had just ascended the throne, and he did not want to face a Dali riddled with holes.
Moreover, there are many uncertain factors in this. Whether Nanmu City can block the army of King Haili, whether Lan Yuehou will do his best in Nanyang City, and what the goals of the countries in the Western Regions are, Qin Wei cannot be sure.
Once one side loses, the whole game is lost.
The risk is too great and the price is too high.
Now Qin Wei doesn't want to take risks, nor does he want to pay a high price.
He leaned back in his chair and fell into deep thought.
As Bai Sheng said, with Li Xun in charge in the north and Beiyuan City, the problem is not big and he can ignore it for the time being.
There is only one Lu Sheng Royal Court in the southeastern islands, and two navy divisions are enough to deal with it. There is no need to destroy them. They only need to be restrained from landing. This can be dealt with later.
What he really wants to deal with is the coalition of countries in the Western Regions and the three major barbarian royal courts in the south.
Qin Wei thought for a while and said: "Don't mobilize the garrison troops from various places for now. We will dispatch 200,000 forbidden troops from Tonghe City to support Nanyang City. We will dispatch 200,000 forbidden troops from Kowloon City to support the Yuanzhou border."
Everyone was stunned when they heard this.
Mu Changxin couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty, two hundred thousand forbidden troops are not enough to withstand the millions of troops from the countries in the Western Regions."
Qin Wei shook his head and said directly without explanation: "Just do what I want. Let the Forbidden Army go out as soon as possible."
The garrison is responsible for guarding the Dali Prefecture. If the garrison is mobilized at this time, it is not known how many troubles will be caused.
Maybe before the border war is over, chaos breaks out within Dali, so Qin Wei will never be able to mobilize the garrison from each state.
After all, he had just ascended the throne and his foundation was not yet stable, so he was not like the old emperor who could intimidate all parties.
As for the problem of insufficient troops, Qin Wei did not intend to fight a protracted war with the enemy. The main task of these forbidden troops was not to participate in the war, but to stabilize the situation of the border troops.
"Okay, you go down and do some business first." Qin Wei waved his hand, indicating that they could go down.
Bai Sheng and the other three looked at each other and had no choice but to leave.
