Xiao Ming signed the order to attack the British and French colonies, and there was no major reason for the Holy Decree to be used without needing to use it.

For some trivial orders, he is still used to signing documents.

Glancing at Cui Shangan, he said, "How does it feel to be the chief of the general staff?" “

"Thank you for the emperor's kindness, all this is given by the emperor, and the feeling of the last general is naturally grateful to Dade." Choi Sang-an organizes the language.

Xiao Ming smiled, "We are a family, and you are still my brother-in-law, so there is no need to say polite words." ”

Cui Shang'an's heart was suddenly as sweet as honey, there was nothing heavier for him than this sentence, he was at a loss and said: "Your Majesty, ......

"Hahaha, don't be nervous, I came to you today to make a war plan for Nanyang and make overall arrangements for the war." He handed over a plan he had drawn up to Cui Shang'an.

Cui Shangan suppressed his excitement, took over the plan about Nanyang and looked at it, and wrote the general direction of attack on this piece of paper, and more details still need to be perfected by them, after all, governing a huge country An emperor needs to deal with a lot of government affairs, and he can't do everything in detail.

"When the general returns, he will organize the staff to formulate a combat plan and allocate materials and equipment." Cui Shangan said with a straight face, he cherishes his current position very much, and he does not dare to have any negligence.

Xiao Ming nodded with satisfaction, he had actually been thinking about the use of Cui Shangan for a long time, and had observed it for a long time, in fact, the suppression of Cui Shangan a few years ago was deliberate, he just wanted to see Cui Shangan's temperament.

The result was satisfactory to him, although Cui Shangan was a little disheartened because of this, he still did his duty and did not rely on his Huainan Kingdom to provoke disputes.

After all, although the cutting of the feudal domain was successful, if Cui Shangan had any orders, a large number of people would respond.

And Cui Shangan is also conscientious in the specific position, so after weighing, he promoted Cui Shangan, but the General Staff Department looks bluffing, but in fact, it is equivalent to his secretary in the army.

Cui Shangan has become his close minister, but he still has no military power in his hands, so there is nothing to worry about, and now the infighting in the court is becoming more and more fierce, he is unwilling to promote the people recommended by Pang Yukun, nor the people recommended by Fiji, only Cui Shangan is the most suitable.

After all, Cui Shang'an is also a relative of the emperor, and he once participated in the crusade against King Yan, and King Zhao made great achievements, and others can't say anything.

"By the way, there's this!" Xiao Ming picked up another signed order, "This is for Qi Guangyi, the commander of the Northwest Military Region, now that the lancers have been formed, let him quickly march west to exterminate the barbarian Golden Horde." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Cui Shangan gave a military salute.

Xiao Ming nodded, and then asked, "Is King Huainan okay lately?" I haven't seen him in a while. ”

Cui Shangan was suddenly a little embarrassed when he mentioned this, and he said: "My father's health has always been very good, but I have been a little fascinated by drama recently, and I go to the theater to listen to plays every day when I am idle, but something happened two days ago, and he beat an official." ”

"The king of Huainan should be strong and strong, and his skills have not diminished back then, I have heard of this matter, and he is right." Xiao Ming said with a smile, he just received an excerpt yesterday, and the content of the excerpt was to accuse King Huainan of beating people.

Since becoming the emperor, Xiao Ming can no longer believe in the folds, as Concubine Zhen said, the most untrustworthy thing in the world is the twists.

The emperor sat in the palace, and the affairs of the world were left to the officials to say, so he sent someone to investigate, and sure enough, there was such a thing, and the king of Huainan did beat people.

But there was a reason for the incident, and the cause of the incident was that the official's son openly molested the folk girl in the theater, which provoked the king of Huainan to do it.

Cui Shangan breathed a sigh of relief, he knew that someone would definitely take the fold.

mentioned this matter, Xiao Ming asked Cui Shangan to go back, he has been taking care of the southern and northern wars all these years, but his team has more and more problems.

He had to admit that this was the sequelae of his rapid development, and in ten years, Dayu developed from a cold-weapon country to an industrial country.

This kind of growth rate is too fast, and generally speaking, the faster it grows, the more problems are ignored, simply put, the people's thinking in this era lags behind the speed of national development, or the national quality does not keep up with the development.

As a result, the people enjoy the advanced material and live in the old minds.

After all, the promotion of Neo-Confucianism is mainly effective for those who have not yet accepted traditional ideas, and the change is limited for those who have been polluted by old ideas.

This is just like the contemporary seventy or eighty-year-old people can't accept that they can't get used to seeing young people playing with mobile phones all day long, which belongs to the generation gap of the times.

It is precisely because of this that the idea of the official standard is still strong in the empire, and the aristocracy of officials has always existed.

The fact that the children of certain officials are rampant and domineering is not just because of this one incident exposed by the Huainan King incident.

This is still the case in Qingzhou, and I don't know how many such officials there are in the whole country.

It's just that now his blow is only a palliative rather than a cure, because almost eighty percent of the officials in the empire are old officials of the former Great Yu State, especially in the south, receiving such a huge area, the government academy is a drop in the bucket.

Now he can only wait for a new generation to grow up to replace them, and until then, he can only press the bullet with all his might, so as not to let these people cause any worse effects.

Thinking of this, he specially instructed the Security Department to arrest the son of this troublesome official, according to reason, it is ridiculous that he is an emperor who cares about such a trivial matter, but in order to remind the officials, he can only ask in person.

was about to give an order to the guards, when a rich man suddenly walked in and said, "Your Majesty, Wang Xuan asks to see you." “

"Let him in."

Xiao Ming said that Wang Xuan had been building intelligence systems in Goryeo and Wa in order to deepen his control over the two regions.

Qian Dafu answered yes, turned around and went out, and after a while, Wang Xuan walked in.

Bowing down, Wang Xuan said: "Your Majesty, there have been some subtle changes in the Wa Kingdom, which has made the lower officials a little uneasy, and I have come to report to the emperor. ”

"Tell me about it."

After a pause, Wang Xuan said: "The current civil strife in the Japanese is becoming more and more intense, and the rebel army, which is now composed of peasants, merchants, and samurai classes, has put forward the slogan of reform, asking Yamada Nobunaga to learn from the empire. ”

"Reform." Xiao Ming's brows furrowed.

After the signing of the instrument of surrender, the civil strife in the Wa Kingdom has not stopped, and Yamada Nobunaga has been suppressing the rebellion, but he did not pay much attention to this, after all, there are many daimyo of the Wa Kingdom, and wars are common.

But now the rebels have come up with slogans similar to national reform, which is problematic, and it smells like the Meiji Restoration.
