Late at night, Jiang Beiran opened a long coral window. Outside the window was a backyard filled with exotic flowers and plants, which were very bright and beautiful.
Looking to the other side, sixteen lings trees stand there, tall and handsome.
At this time, a breeze blew, and the wind caused thousands of flowers to fall, covering the ground on several levels. The pure white lily flowers fluttered the backyard like the first snowfall, which was very beautiful.
A crescent moon passed over the exquisite turret, casting a hazy and brilliant light inside the high wall. In the bright moonlight, a figure gradually appeared.
The figure was wearing an icy blue double-breasted narrow-sleeved gown, with sapphire blue silk thread embroidering the Teng Yun Xiang pattern on the placket and cuffs. Indigo blue trousers were tied into brocade boots, and he was striding towards Jiang Beiran.
"Senior brother." Gu Qinghuan saluted in front of the window, thinking about Jiang Beiran.
"How was the investigation?" Jiang Beiran asked directly.
He took out a pamphlet from the Qiankun Ring and held it in front of Jiang Beiran. Gu Qinghuan began to report: "According to what senior brother said, Qingce and I visited 26 counties and towns and 84 villages, and the investigation results were all
It’s in this volume.”
"Thanks for your hard work."
Nodding, Jiang Beiran took the booklet and flipped through it.
After the time to drink tea, Jiang Beiran slowly closed the book, shook his head and sighed: "I knew it would be like this."
In two months, Jiang Beiran went from getting familiar with the court to promulgating the new policy. During this period, he dismissed a large number of high-ranking officials and introduced many officials recommended by loyal ministers and good ministers.
This kind of "big blood change" can be said to have given the entire court a new look, but Jiang Beiran understood that only this side of the court had a new look, and it was far from enough to save the long-decayed Sheng Kingdom.
After all, being a loyal minister does not mean that he is a capable official. Just knowing that there are many mediocre people who are loyal to the court, it is impossible for Jiangbei to find a large number of loyal and capable ministers in a short period of time.
So he understood that although the state of Sheng mentioned in the court meeting now seemed to be He Qing Haiyan, with good political control and people, Jiang Beiran, who had read hundreds of issues of "Today's Statement", understood deeply that these high officials were easy to deal with, and the trouble was with the local officials.
As the saying goes, the smaller the official, the more capable he is of being a monster. Most of those mayors and senior officials are concerned about the country and the people, ensuring peace, and taking driving the local economy as their lifelong belief.
However, those county magistrates, county magistrates, county committees, assistants, elders, and village chiefs are all more capable of deceiving the people than the last.
No matter how honest and capable the officials in the court are, it is impossible to discover all those who are corrupt and bend the law. After all, the number is too huge, and interest groups have been formed to protect and support each other. It is impossible to catch them all in one go.
matter.
Even if Jiang Beiran had the system, he couldn't do it, because he found all the corrupt officials and killed them, and he couldn't find so many people to fill their holes, or even if he found people to fill their holes,
, these people will definitely become corrupt quickly, after all, this is human nature.
So he asked Gu Qinghuan to check for him whether the places that had promulgated the new decrees had implemented them properly. In the end, the fact was just as Jiang Beiran thought. Most of them were just pretending to deal with the new decrees casually, and even worse.
Without even pretending, it's as if nothing happened.
Sighing, Jiang Beiran first returned the booklet to Lu Qinghuan, then took out a scroll and handed it to Lu Qinghuan and said, "This is what you need to do next."
"Yes." Gu Qinghuan took the scroll respectfully.
After finishing the business, Jiang Beiran asked: "The last time I met Qing Ce, he said that you have made rapid progress recently. Do you understand the secret of the True Essence Tiangang Jue?"
After hearing this, Gu Qinghuan raised his hands and replied: "Compared with Senior Brother Wu, Qinghuan dare not call her "super fast."
Suddenly appearing in front of Gu Qinghuan, Jiang Beiran opened the hidden energy formation that had been set up in the backyard and said, "Exercise your power with all your strength."
"yes."
In response, Gu Qinghuan immediately activated the True Yuan Tiangang Jue. In an instant, Jiang Beiran felt the spiritual energy from heaven and earth pouring into his body crazily, and it soon turned into profound energy in his body.
'The speed of absorbing spiritual energy is indeed much higher than other techniques.'
When a practitioner uses some relatively common moves, the speed of absorbing spiritual energy will not have much impact.
But when it comes to using some stunts that consume a lot of spiritual energy, the reason why many people have so many forward movements, such as punching with the left and kicking with the right, is actually to absorb spiritual energy.
In this case, the advantage of Lu Qinghuan being able to inhale spiritual energy at such a fast speed is amazing. When others use their special skills, it may take more than ten seconds or even dozens of seconds to prepare, but Gu Qinghuan can just use them.
Complete the same move at half the speed.
"Stop it."
Following Jiang Beiran's order, Gu Qinghuan stopped exercising, and the spiritual energy around him calmed down instantly.
Just when Jiang Beiran was about to praise Gu Qinghuan, an even more shocking scene happened. He found that the spiritual energy that Gu Qinghuan had just absorbed into his body and transformed into mysterious energy turned back into lilac-colored spiritual energy and came out of his body.
‘I didn’t expect that after practicing to the extreme, it would actually turn into a power bank.’
The spiritual energy in a world is limited. Once it is absorbed, it will take some time for it to regenerate. This causes many masters to fight further and further away.
And if you have a practitioner like Gu Qinghuan who can generate spiritual energy by yourself, you will be at a huge advantage when using moves to fight against him.
"Have you mastered the exercises I taught you last time?" After a moment of surprise, Jiang Jiangbeiran looked at Gu Qinghuan and asked.
He lowered his head in despair, Gu Qinghuan cupped his hands and said, "Qinghuan is stupid and has wasted senior brother's magical elixirs and techniques."
‘Even five books can’t be used?’
For a cultivator, it is definitely not enough to have strong profound energy. If it cannot be paired with some skilled moves, no matter how strong the profound energy is, it will be no different from brute force.
That is to say, if the mysterious energy cannot be drawn out using moves, the mysterious energy will not be able to exert its maximum power.
For this reason, Jiang Beiran specially gave Gu Qinghuan five secret books and asked him to pick his favorite one to practice. Unexpectedly, the entire army was wiped out.
'Hiss... I can't really just specialize in the True Yuan Tiangang Jue...'
Because of the rapid progress in the True Yuan Tiangang Art, Jiang Beiran almost forgot that Gu Qinghuan's qualifications before this were very average, and could even be said to be a bit poor.
I thought that finding the first suitable exercise book for him would make things smoother in the future, but now it seems that this is not possible.
"It doesn't matter, I'll just go find some for you, brother. During this time, you should practice the True Yuan Tiangang Jue first."
"Yes." Gu Qinghuan answered with cupped hands.
Then after explaining some trivial matters to Gu Qinghuan, Jiang Beiran asked him to go back first.
Looking up at the starry sky and recalling what Gu Qinghuan and Wu Qingce had just written down in the booklet, Jiang Beiran said, "Let's pay a private visit incognito."
In fact, Jiang Beiran had thought about this when he first became emperor. After all, when he watched "Kangxi's Private Interview in Private Service", Jiang Beiran felt that the most satisfying thing was that after the emperor was humiliated by the officials of the commission meeting, San Dezi and Fayin danced together.
Come out and have a shout.
"do you know who he is!"
The guards would respond cooperatively: "I don't care who he is! If he talks too much, I'll arrest both of you!"
Then there was a standard fight scene. After the seal defeated all the villains, Santoku took out a gold medal and shouted: "This is the current Holy Emperor! Kneel down before me!"
In an instant, all the evil spirits, demons and monsters were on their knees on the ground.
Jiang Beiran has also wanted to experience this feeling for a long time. He can not only pretend to be B, but also do business at the same time. He kills two birds with one stone, why not?
Besides, when he encountered such a thing in the past, he could only use it to gain points. Now that he has the biggest leaders of the black and white factions behind him, he should be able to take care of other things in Fengzhou without having to jump to the next option.
And Jiang Beiran doesn't have to worry about who will supervise the country after he leaves. Anyway, when he comes down from the court, he can fly over to any place he wants, and he can fly back at night after pretending to be cool, without any delay.
Son.
“It’s really exciting just thinking about it.”
When Jiang Beiran was planning a route to fight corruption, Deng Xianghan, dressed in palace maid's clothes, came to the door of a palace with a food box and knocked on the door twice.
With a "squeak", the door was slowly opened, and a palace maid poked her head out. The moment she saw Deng Xianghan clearly, the palace maid's eyes widened.
"Princess!" the palace maid shouted excitedly.
"Shh!" Deng Xianghan quickly covered the palace maid's mouth: "I don't dare to shout like that now, it will be troublesome if others hear me."
The palace maid then realized that she had done something wrong and nodded quickly.
After making sure that the palace maid understood, Deng Xianghan let go of his hand and asked, "Is mother asleep?"
Hearing the word "mother", the palace maid who was used to hearing the word "mother" felt very uncomfortable, but she quickly replied: "I haven't slept yet. Madam heard that Mr. Yinling... No, Second Miss, Third Miss and the others will come back."
, I have been waiting for you, and said..."
"Who is outside? Is it Xiang'er?"
Just as the palace maid was telling about today's situation, Lin Miaoyi came out and asked.
"mother!"
As soon as he saw Lin Miaoyi, Deng Xianghan immediately shouted and ran towards her.
Lin Miaoyi, who was sure that the visitor was her daughter, ran into the courtyard without wearing any shoes and hugged Deng Xianghan tightly, regardless of the queen's manners.
"My good daughter, my dear daughter, you are back!"
Deng Xianghan buried his head on Lin Miaoyi's chest and felt his mother's anxiety. He said, "Didn't I ask Xiaoshan to inform you of my return? Did that girl forget?"
"I've said it, I've said it." Lin Miaoyi said while stroking Deng Xianghan's back: "But mother looks at Shan'er, Yue'er and the others are back, but you haven't come back for a long time, it's hard to avoid feeling worried.
"
After Lin Miaoyi finished speaking, she took a step back, grabbed Deng Xianghan's shoulders with both hands and said, "Why are you wearing this outfit? What on earth did you do today?"
"Yes...the emperor asked me to be his personal maid."
"Palace lady?" Lin Miaoyi looked at Deng Xianghan strangely, "Are you the only one?"
"Well, it's just me." Deng Xianghan nodded.
In an instant, Lin Miaoyi showed a look of understanding, "I see, it seems that my Xiang'er's beauty is indeed the most outstanding."
"Oh! Mom, where did you think about it?" Deng Xianghan knew as soon as he heard this that Lin Miaoyi must have been thinking in that direction.
"Did Mom think wrong? There are so many princesses, and you are the only one who is allowed to be the personal palace maid. Don't tell me that the emperor is not interested in you at all."
After hearing this, Deng Xianghan couldn't help but think of the disdainful look in the emperor's eyes when he looked at her breasts, and the look in his eyes that showed neither desire nor pity. He immediately shook his head and said: "The new emperor cares about the world and has no interest in matters between men and women. My daughter followed her.
One day, he realized that he was really a very diligent and good emperor."
Hearing the word emperor, Lin Miaoyi sighed, "Go back to the house first, and then we can talk more slowly."
Back in the house, Deng Xianghan sat on a high chair covered with bearskin and told Lin Miaoyi everything that happened after she came back. Of course, she told the emperor that the matter about Liang Guo was hidden by her, and she didn't want her mother to know about it.
many.
After listening to Deng Xianghan's narration, Lin Miaoyi sighed and said: "I know that the emperor is diligent. Since he entered the palace, except for the first day when he came to Yuxiu Palace, he has never been here again. There are many concubines in the palace.
The concubine was very uneasy at first, fearing that a sudden decree would drive us all out."
"Fortunately, two months have passed now. Although the Emperor seems to have forgotten us, he has no intention of driving us away. He has given us hope of living together."
Listening to his mother's description, Deng Xianghan couldn't help but feel a little fonder of the emperor.
When she went to court, Deng Xianghan noticed that the faces of the officials at the court had changed dramatically. Many officials she was familiar with or knew were no longer there, and were replaced by some faces she had never seen before.
But after just one court meeting, she understood that these officials were far more capable than the previous ones, and she didn't know where the new emperor found so many capable officials.
After returning to the study, Deng Xianghan watched the new emperor read books all afternoon. Later, at the prince's place, she learned that the new emperor had been reading for so long every day since he ascended the throne.
'I don't know where Yin Jianghong found such an outstanding person...'
When she learned that she was going to be released, Deng Xianghan made a lot of plans in her mind. What would she do if the emperor was a coward? What would she do if the emperor was a puppet who only followed the rules? What would she do if the emperor was extremely deceitful?
She could guess that since the new emperor could be selected by Yin Jianghong, he would definitely not be too bad, but she did not expect that he would be so powerful. This made her feel a deep sense of powerlessness, because she could not guess what the emperor was like at all.
What decision will be made.
When Deng Xianghan was thinking about these things, Lin Miaoyi said: "Well, yesterday I saw Wanrong and Qiyun trying to find a way to run out of Yuxiu Palace, and I also know that they want to find the emperor. Xiang'er, you said mother wanted to
don't want……"
"Mom, it's better not to ask me."
Deng Xianghan, who knew what her mother was going to ask, shook her head. Although so much time had passed, she said that she still did not fully accept the reality that her family was in pieces.
It can be said that in her heart, she still has a fantasy of going back to the past.
