"Oh? Great Official Kou spoke about the reform of the army a few days ago? " Fang Yuanfu was stunned: "We don't seem to remember that the Venerable One mentioned this!"
"In particular, the reform was not proposed by me. I am merely conveying the reform of others." Kou Tianxiao muttered to himself for a while and said: "That reform was proposed by my son. At that time, His Majesty also agreed to it.
"At that time, my son, Ying Wu Hou, proposed this martial arts to help the army select talents. Since the emperor was talking about reform, this subject thinks that it would be better to link it with the martial arts exam. The wuxiangyuan can go directly to the military, and we can even set up a separate position for him. "
"Hmm? to improve the treatment of the martial arts champion? " Fang Yuanfu was shocked, for Fang Yuanfu to do this, it was obvious that he was determined to win against this Wu Zheng Yuan, he was confident that the person who would obtain the Wu Guan Yuan would be his, thus he dared to say such words, but he did not directly reject this matter! After all, the Kung Fu Man test was indeed a good thing, it was indeed a selection for the country.
Fang Yuanfu proposed to raise the treatment of the martial arts scholar. If he made a decision, once word of this got out, he would hurt the hearts of many heroic youths.
Fang Yuanfu thought for a while, and said in a deep voice, "The Kung Fu Man assessment is indeed an act that benefits the nation and the citizens. But Field Marshal, look at the generals of today in Daqi Dynasty, have they not taken the examination in a long time? For example, Li Ye and Chen Huanqi, they were actually taken away by an eighteen or nineteen year old youth.
The more Fang Yuanfu said, the angrier he got, "There are two of them. We only know that something happened to them, but there are so many generals in the army, who knows how many more generals will be like them? This time, not only the Kung Fu Man will be involved, the other generals will also have to undergo the examination as well.
Fang Yuanfu's eyes swept across the crowd and landed on Chang Qianze, "I shall leave it to you to decide how the examination will be conducted."
Fang Yuanfu laughed as he turned to look at Kou Tianxiao: "Kou Aiqing, you are a general after all, so the specific details of the reform should be decided by an experienced person. Prime Minister, you two should think about how to reform as you are more proficient in this area."
Fang Yuanfu immediately made a decision to let Kou Tianxiao reform the army by himself. How could he allow that to happen?
"Then it's decided!" After Fang Yuanfu finished speaking, he immediately set the tone, at the same time he did not give anyone else the chance to speak, and immediately changed the topic: "And County Prince Zhu, all four of you owe others money, return it to me immediately, tomorrow, if any of you are unable to come to the morning assembly because you do not have the money to repay, then you will not need to come to attend it anymore! As for Chen Huanqi and Li Ye, they do not need to come to the morning assembly anymore! "
Hearing Fang Yuanfu's words, County Prince Zhu's face dropped. I'm done, I really have to return the money, the Emperor had already spoken, how can I not return the money! Also, listen to the emperor and return the money as soon as possible. If you can't come to the morning court tomorrow, then don't come again in the future.
Since he couldn't participate in the imperial court, he didn't have any status at all. The emperor had made it clear that he had to return the money right after the morning assembly today! Otherwise, if Chang Sheng caught him tomorrow, he would really be miserable!
He had to pay back the money today, and it was ten million taels of silver, ten million taels of silver! How could he afford so much money!
The only way to get so much money was to sell all of the family's businesses in the capital.
Just as County Prince Zhu was having a headache, another message came down from above the Dragon Throne.
"County Prince Zhu, if I'm not wrong, one of the bets you guys made with Chang Sheng was your Zhu Family's fief!"
On County Prince Zhu's forehead, beads of sweat the size of teasing purple appeared in an instant. The emperor's voice wasn't loud, but it was extremely ice-cold, evidently extremely angry.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, it is ? "Yes ?"
"How dare you!" Just as County Prince Zhu said these few words, Fang Yuanfu suddenly shouted out explosively, "The feudal fiefdom was bestowed to you by our ancestors. You, the Zhu Family, truly have great guts to actually dare to take it as a wager for a feudal fiefdom that was bestowed by our ancestors! County Prince Zhu, your Zhu Family is really the first person in this world who would dare to use a land as a wager! "
"Ah ?" County Prince Zhu was shocked, he lowered his head and kowtowed, "This subject deserves to die, this subject deserves to die ?"
"Damn it? Hmph, the feudal fiefdom is already your Zhu Family's. I won't actually sentence you to death because of this, but your methods have completely disgraced the ancestors, and I can't help but punish you. "How about this, I shall confiscate your salary for two years as a warning!"
Two years' salary ?
County Prince Zhu lowered his head, and his entire face turned green. He had to accompany the ten million silver and even compensate the land. At that time, his family would have to depend on his salary to live on.
Now that the Emperor had confiscated his salary, how was he going to live in the future?!
In the next moment, he didn't even know what the imperial court had said, all he knew was that the Emperor had sent White Eunuch and two royal guards to follow Chang Qianze back home, to help Chang Sheng collect his debts!
He waited until the morning court dispersed before the County Prince Zhu recovered. He left the throne room and sat on the palanquin, urging his servants to hurry up and bring him home. If he did not quickly go home, he would have to gather up 10 million silver taels.
Prime Minister's Estate, inside a pitch-black firewood house.
Both Chen Huanqi and Li Ye had their backs against each other and were tied together. Both their hands were tied up with thick hemp rope, and streaks of blood could be seen on their bare arms.
"Brother Li Ye, are Chang Sheng and the little scholar still watching from outside?" Chen Huanqi's back was facing the door of the woodshed and was unable to see the situation outside. He could only ask Li Ye who had his back to him in a low voice.
Li Ye raised his head and looked towards the window beside the door. He vaguely saw that outside the hole in the window, there seemed to be a person's eyes.
"Shh ?" Hush, he's outside. "
"Ahh, he's actually still here. He's already waiting outside. Isn't he bored?" Chen Huanqi complained in a low voice. He was a Innate Expert, and with the thick hemp rope on his body, he only needed to exert a little strength to shake it off.
But that fool Chang Sheng actually stayed outside the whole time. As long as he shook off the hemp rope himself, he would rush into the room and beat himself and Li Ye up badly. Then, he would let the younger student by his side find a rope to tie him and Li Ye up.
"Hmph, let him be happy for a while longer, it's almost time, the emperor must have already noticed that we did not go to the imperial court, and he will definitely ask us the reason why we did not go to the imperial court, at that time, as long as we are from the Martial General Department, or even if we are from the Prince's faction, with a few words, Chang Sheng will definitely die!"
"He actually dares to kidnap a general of the empire, even if his father is Chang Qianze, he will not be able to protect him!"
"Dong, dong, dong!"
Suddenly, the sound of footsteps could be heard from outside the door, followed by a familiar voice.
"Sheng Er, I heard that you caught two generals earlier today."
When Chen Huanqi heard this voice, he was suddenly excited, he was too familiar with this voice, it was actually Chang Qianze's voice every day in the morning.
"Brother Li Ye, we are about to leave, did you hear? Chang Qianze is back, and he said that the morning court had heard about it, I think the emperor knows about it."
"Hmm?" Li Ye softly replied, no one knew what he was thinking.
Outside the woodshed, Chang Sheng heard the voice behind him and gently turned his head. Immediately, the figure of his father Chang Qianze appeared before his eyes, followed by a familiar figure.
The White Eunuch beside the Emperor? There were also two imperial guards who had once held onto his imperial bodyguards on the throne room.
Chang Sheng was startled when he saw them, and then he realised that if someone else was to capture the general while the general was participating in the morning assembly, they would definitely be out of luck, but he was the ordinary man, and his father was the most trusted and trusted official of the emperor, so the emperor would probably not do anything to him.
Furthermore, there was still the White Eunuch this time. This time, they were not here to capture him, but to help him.
Chang Sheng looked at Chang Qianze with a face full of pride, and said with a loud voice: "That's right, Father, Chang Sheng caught two bad guys who deceived Chang Sheng, and Chang Sheng locked them inside."
Chang Sheng raised his hand and pointed to the woodshed behind him. He walked up to the door and opened it as if he was offering a treasure, "Chang Sheng tied up all of them together.
"Creak ?"
With a light sound, Chang Sheng pushed open the door to the woodshed. Immediately, Chang Qianze, the White Eunuch behind him and the two imperial guards could see that inside the woodshed, the two generals who were tied together with thick hemp ropes were none other than Li Ye and Chen Huanqi.
Chen Huanqi suddenly felt that something was amiss. Although his back was facing the door, he knew that Chang Qianze had definitely reached the door.
"Hah!"
Chen Huanqi suddenly bellowed, and broke the ropes on his body, and turned his head in a flash.
"White Eunuch?"
Chen Huanqi was shocked to see that at the entrance, other than Chang Qianze, there were also the royal family's s and two imperial guards. He was startled for a moment, and then he quickly reacted.
This imperial guard must have been sent by the Emperor to save him! At the same time, he was also here to capture Chang Sheng! The imperial guards had already been sent over, why haven't you submitted this time, Chang Sheng? This father will make you crazy, this time you are dead for sure! And Chang Qianze, so what if he's favored in front of the Emperor?
This time, not only do you have to protect your son, you can't even protect yourself!
