Please call me Your Majesty!

Chapter 107 Our Brother Zhao is so protective and arrogant!

Huan Yi was extremely satisfied with his elder brother's attitude.

In the first three simulations, the Huan family suffered so much, and basically ended up with death and annihilation of the clan. Now Huan Yi found one of the few solutions from Chu Shizhao.

Huan Yike knows it all too well.

In reality, the Huan family seemed to be helping Chu Shizhao to conquer the world, but in fact they were saving themselves!

The more simulations there were, the more information Huan Yi knew. The people under Chu Shixu were all the best among the Guanlong gentry, and they were famous families in Jingzhao represented by the Wang family.

As a powerful family in Liangzhou, the Huan family wanted nothing more than to become a new famous family. Huan Yi's elder brother Huan Sheng had this idea in mind, which was why he chose to assist Chu Shixu.

He thought that he worked hard enough to make his family a famous one in Jingzhao.

However, this is their foundation, and Huan Sheng is a person outside this foundation. Her elder brother actually came in with the idea of ​​entering the market to divide the profits. How can he not be solved after being used up by Chu Shixu?

You must never think that you will be rewarded if you do more and do things better, because the starting points of both parties are different.

Huan's people worked hard and even if they died, they could not hurt Chu Shixu's foundation. Huan's people got the job done, and he could still sit back and enjoy the results.

Chu Shixu just wanted to use Huan for a while, but he didn't expect it to be so useful. Even if he threw it away after using it, he wouldn't feel bad because he just picked up Huan for free.

Without the Huan family, would he have no one to turn to?
That's the icing on the cake.

There are too many court officials who are willing to follow Chu Shixu. If these court officials of Chu Shixu are harmed by the policies advocated by Huan and they jointly decide to deal with Huan, will Chu Shixu protect Huan?

Therefore, Huan Yi would rather die standing and follow Chu Shizhao all the way to the end than follow this "Prince".

You work hard for Chu Shizhao, and he really supports you.

Just because Qinzhou City was massacred by the Nanyue people, Chu Shizhao directly ordered Lan Shu to lead a large army to Henei County and massacre the people there. This shows Chu Shizhao's character.

Rather than saying that Chu Shizhao was a benevolent emperor, it would be better to say that he was clear about gratitude and resentment.

On the simulation screen.

Huan Yi looked at all the ministers in the court. Only Huan Sheng was carrying the banner of the Jin Wang Party, while the others all had a gray-black friendliness level.

She sneered.

Unfortunately, the last simulation was from a third-person perspective, so Huan Yi could only see the general trend of the outcome, and the scope of operation was extremely limited. After all, she did not follow Chu Shizhao at the first time.

This time, Huan Sheng had already made the choice for her, and their Huan family started with Chu Shizhao's initial minister card.

A single spark can start a prairie fire.

So what if there are civil and military officials in the court?
Chu Shizhao was a very capable monarch, and this was actually the best time to verify the strength of the Huan family.

The two are compatible. It depends on whether you can make a name for yourself in Chang'an this time!

Lying in the inner room, Huan Yi opened the operation interface of [Emperor Growth Plan] with great skill.

He chose to pledge allegiance to Chu Shizhao as quickly as possible.

Huan Yi's gaze fell on the entry of Emperor Yongjin's awakening this time.

【Flash of light】.

[As the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, you are in a political environment of turmoil and strife. Outside, you can only effectively control the Jiedushi, and inside, you can barely suppress the ambitions of the aristocratic families. You often feel powerless, so much so that you want to escape reality by practicing Taoism, because you know that even if you want to make changes, you will encounter various obstacles. ]

[When you realize that you don’t have much time left, you take a gamble and decide not to retreat, trying to make a desperate effort to reverse the country’s decline.]

[Your politics +3, your charm +2, your command +2, you have become more decisive. ]

[Under the blessing of the last moments of life, Emperor Yongjin will temporarily transform into 'Little Taizong', with a limited time limit of golden monarch-level performance. ]

[The overall influence of the Jin Wang Party is 51200 points (including the source influences of the Ministry of War 200 points, the Central Government New Army 1000 points, and the Public Security Department 50000 points). ]

[The Jin Wang Party's influence in the court is minimal, at 1200 points. ]

Huan Yi switched to Chu Shixu's influence interface.

【东宫党的综合影响力为：15391点（其中来源影响力为——皇后王从徽的影响力1000点，京兆名门的影响力2500点，嫡长子影响力5000点、王氏的影响力2500点、朝堂群臣的影响力1200点，南府军影响力3000点，百姓影响力191点。）】

[The influence of the Donggong Party in the court is quite large, at 15200 points. ]

The word "influence" is not very common, but Huan Yi can still roughly understand its meaning. Looking at the text above, he wonders why Chu Shizhao's influence of 50,000 points would drop directly to 1,200 points when it comes to the court.

It may be that the influence of the public security memorial is more widespread among the people, but it cannot directly influence the court.

The people's support for Chu Shizhao does not represent the court's attitude towards Chu Shizhao.

This should be the level of support that those actually in power have for Chu Shizhao, but from what we can see now, Chu Shizhao is disliked by everyone in the court.

Huan Yi's thinking was clear. She immediately asked her elder brother Huan Sheng to win over ministers of the same type as the Huan family to support Chu Shizhao.

Those who have fallen on hard times, those who are capable but come from relatively ordinary backgrounds, especially ministers from powerful families who are not from Guanlong, can all be won over.

Huan Yi didn't know until she tried it, and she found that her elder brother Huan Sheng had amazing execution ability.

Different ministers have different efficiencies when they are told to do things.

The worse the ability of a minister is, the lower his efficiency will be. If you ask him to build a water conservancy project, he will have to work for three or four years and then give you a shoddy finished product.

It can be said that each Chen Card has its own different execution efficiency.

Huan Sheng's execution efficiency is the fastest one.

【The influence of the Jin Wang Party increased by 200 points after a week of hard work by Huan Sheng.】

[Huan Sheng won over three officials from the Liangzhou region, but most of them held lower positions.]

At the edge of Huan Sheng's relationship map, three lower-quality minister cards appeared, and around Huan Sheng appeared a group of Jin Wang party members called the 'Liangzhou Clan'.

Stable and improving.

However, Huan Yi frowned. This efficiency was still not high enough. There was not much time left for Chu Shizhao. As long as an accident occurred, they would die.

The rebels in the south and the Huns in the north were important events that accelerated the demise of the Zhou Dynasty.

[In April of the 29th year of the Yongjin reign, the Emperor of Yongjin took out 100,000 taels of silver from the treasury and allocated another 100,000 taels of silver from the national treasury to provide grain relief to the disaster-stricken areas in the south.]

【The public sentiment in the South therefore rose by 5 points.】

The red hearts of the people turned pale white.

Huan Yi had previously witnessed the effects of the red-hot public sentiment, which was all kinds of dissatisfaction and desire to go against the court.

40 points of public support is the most normal value. If it is below 20 points, it is almost like an opposition at any time.

Among five peasants, there automatically emerges a refugee who wants to become a rebel.

Moreover, this refugee has the ability to incite, and one person can lead more people to rebel.

As long as the public opinion reaches the 40-point threshold, people will just complain, but they can still live, and they will not risk their lives against the court.

During Chu Shizhao's reign, 80 points of public support was a very normal value, so Huan Yi couldn't bear to look at the government panels during the reign of Emperor Yongjin, which were rotten to the core.

Especially during the reign of Emperor Yongjin, the average morality of local officials was relatively low, which means that officials from all over the country were busy making money. Basically, the lower the morality of the officials, the more likely they were to be corrupt.

Huan Yi's brother Huan Sheng has 72 points of morality and 80 points of ambition.

In this moral value, Huan Sheng is an honest official, which increases his moral foundation by an additional 20 points. Without this part, Huan Sheng's moral bottom line is not high.

But there is no way to achieve 80 points of ambition.

Huan Yi didn't know what her elder brother was after. Now it seemed that Huan Sheng was more fame-seeking and had a high pursuit of reputation, otherwise he would not have taken the initiative to take on the task of reforming the law.

[In May of the 29th year of Yongjin, Yang Fang announced that he had joined the Jin Wang Party. Chu Shizhao made a petition to the Yongjin Emperor, hoping that he would pardon some of the guilty officials who had committed minor offenses.]

[Emperor Yongjin pardoned ministers headed by Yin Shangxian and Gao Qin, allowing those officials who were still suffering from exile to return to Beijing and resume their posts. As for some officials who had unfortunately died in exile, Emperor Yongjin conferred honorary titles posthumously as a gesture of appeasement.]

[Chu Shizhao was very surprised that Emperor Yongjin agreed to this.] Seeing this line, Huan Yi was just as surprised as Chu Shizhao in the simulation.

Because it was Emperor Yongjin who convicted and implicated those ministers, even if Emperor Yongjin reinstated them, those implicated officials would not truly be grateful for Emperor Yongjin's mercy.

If someone who has hurt you so badly only compensates you a small amount, will you be grateful?
The only person these people are truly grateful to is Chu Shizhao.

In any case, it was Chu Shizhao who asked Emperor Yongjin to pardon these ministers.

If we analyze this matter more deeply, Chu Shizhao had only said it casually, but Emperor Yongjin pardoned the ministers for the sake of his face. This was a favor to Chu Shizhao and a way to win people's hearts for him.

What was the purpose of Emperor Yongjin doing this?
This point, on the contrary, made Huan Yi confused.

At the same time, Chu Shizhao, who had just expressed his attitude and insisted on getting close to Yin Meiyu, succeeded without surprise.

But Chu Shizhao didn't do anything more excessive to Yin Meiyu. He just asked Mei Niang to warm his bed.

Being able to achieve this, Chu Shizhao naturally no longer worries about Mei Niang running away.

However, Chu Shizhao did not expect that the simulation would start automatically when the time came, which caused Chu Shizhao to miss the operations of the previous few rounds.

This time, Chu Shizhao was also trying to get some benefits from his father.

Saying a few words is nothing.

If the emperor is willing to give Chu Shizhao a favor and pardon these criminals, then Chu Shizhao will make a lot of money, as he can recruit some useful ministers from among these criminals.

They were unwilling to give face to Chu Shizhao and not pardon these criminals. After Chu Shizhao said these words, those exiled criminals would remember Chu Shizhao's kindness. If there was a chance in the future, Chu Shizhao might be able to pardon and rehabilitate them, and thus become Chu Shizhao's people.

It’s a benefit either way, so Chu Shizhao just regards it as an early operation.

"Huan Sheng is fine." Chu Shizhao glanced at Huan Sheng's situation in his mind.

Lao Sheng created a small court of the Liangzhou faction for Chu Shizhao.

Now there are about six civil officials from the Liangzhou faction who are willing to support Chu Shizhao, but they are all minor officials. The real leader of the Liangzhou faction is Huan Sheng, the Minister of War.

Now the only people Chu Shizhao can use are Huan Sheng and Yang Fang. The others are just extras, but these two have practical uses.

But Yang Fang's position was not very good. He was the deputy general of the new Zhongfu army, which overlapped with Chu Shizhao's position, so his role could not be demonstrated.

If Yang Fang could be arranged to be the commander of the imperial guards and be responsible for guarding the imperial city, it might be more advantageous for Chu Shizhao's subsequent plans.

It’s a pity that if we do this, the purpose will be too obvious.

Emperor Yongjin hasn't passed away yet, but Chu Shizhao has already thought of this. What does his father think?
Apart from anything else, in many things, Emperor Yongjin gave Chu Shizhao enough face, even saved Chu Shizhao's life, giving Chu Shizhao the opportunity to protect himself.

As a result, Chu Shizhao arranged a person to be the commander of the imperial guards.

Why does he have to be so anxious when his father hasn't passed away yet?
Do you want to kill him in advance so that you can take over the world more easily?

Therefore, it was difficult for Chu Shizhao to make up his mind to do this matter.

It can't be done.

Chu Shizhao couldn't get over the moral hurdle mentally.

[In June of the 29th year of Yongjin, in order to shape the spirit and will of this new army of the Central Government, you told them that no matter what happened, they should not be afraid, as long as they were right, Chu Shizhao would take care of everything.]

[You began to instill a lot of your personal style of thinking into this army. Although many soldiers did not understand why you did this, they still tried their best to accept this kind of thinking because they could get their salaries on time every month.]

[You gradually taught the new army of the Central Government some military discipline, and taught them some marching flag signals, and how to set up battle formations to fight the enemy.]

[You should also find out the specialties of each soldier in this new army of the Central Government. Form a small team with those who are good at riding, and a small team with those who are good at archery. Then, divide them into different small groups according to different combat habits.]

【Those who are good at riding will teach others how to ride horses, and those who are good at archery will teach others how to shoot arrows.】

[In August of the 29th year of Yongjin, in the capital, there was a descendant of a noble family, surnamed Wei, named Ji. He was a childhood friend of the third prince Chu Shiyu. After a banquet, he flirted with a woman in the downtown area. Most people saw his bright and beautiful clothes and did not dare to provoke him.]

[A soldier from the Central Government's new army saw this scene and was initially concerned about the other party's identity, but when he thought of what Chu Shizhao had said, he decided to step forward. He subdued Wei Ji and let the woman who was being molested leave first.]

[Wei Ji was extremely furious and ordered his servants to tie up the soldier of the Central Government New Army and whip him personally.]

[“I am a member of the Jingzhao Wei family. How dare you, a soldier, attack me? Even if I kill your whole family, what can you do to me?”]

[“You soldiers are just dogs raised by our family.” Wei Ji was getting drunker and shouted wildly.]

[“We have laws in our Great Zhou.” The whipped Zhongfu New Army soldier counterattacked: “Everyone knows who is right and who is wrong.”]

[“The Fourth Prince will definitely be able to speak up for me.”]

[“The law is for you common people to see.” Weiqi mocked jokingly: “If you break the law, it’s a capital crime. If we, a great clan, break the law, what can we do?!”]

[“What can you do to me?” Wei Ji said at this point: “Afterwards, I just need to give that woman some money and the matter will be over, but what about you?!”]

[“The Fourth Prince you mentioned, would he go against our big clans just for a soldier like you?”]

[“We are a noble family, a noble family. He, the fourth prince, is a member of the royal family. We, the noble family and the royal family, are together.”]

[Speaking of this, the eyes of the soldier from the Central Government's new army flickered, and he seemed to be a little shaken.]

[At this time, Chu Shizhao and some new soldiers from the Central Government who were reporting the situation had hurried over. Upon hearing Wei Ji's words, Chu Shizhao angrily whipped him.]

[“Send this arrogant and rebellious man who oppresses the people to the Wude Division.” Chu Shizhao seemed to still be unsatisfied, and kicked the man again, and then personally untied the soldier of the Central Government’s new army.]

[At this moment, Chu Shizhao did not say anything extra, but he made the soldiers of the Central Government's new army feel warm.]

[“Your Highness, I have caused you trouble.”]

[When this soldier of the Central Government's new army was whipped by Wei Ji, he did not cry, because he felt that being whipped was just a trivial matter.]

[He was just beaten, but people like them have been beaten less often, haven't they?]

[But when he saw Chu Shizhao standing up for him, he cried because he felt that he had brought unnecessary trouble to Chu Shizhao and made him offend others.]

[And Wei Ji was right. Chu Shizhao didn't need to offend others for a soldier like him. He didn't think he was valuable enough to deserve Chu Shizhao to do this for him.]

【It was after Wei Ji's words that he felt that he shouldn't have implicated Chu Shizhao.】

[“From now on, you are my personal soldier.” Chu Shizhao patted his shoulder and said, “If you don’t have a backer, I will be your backer.”]

[“Your Highness—” The other new soldiers from the Central Government who came with him did not expect Chu Shizhao to really stand up for them. Most of them looked at Chu Shizhao with the impulse of “a gentleman will die for his friend”.]

[They thought that Chu Shizhao was willing to come forward to protect the people, which was a great honor for them.]

【Chu Shizhao then just waved his hand.】

【“Capture those servants for me.”】

[“Just a few servants who dared to beat my people after reporting my name. How dare they? I will send them to jail to serve their master.”]

【As soon as the words fell, the soldiers of the Central Government New Army shouted "Yes", and almost all of them stretched out their fists, dragging these people up with force. Some of them even secretly hit them a few times to avenge their brothers, but Chu Shizhao turned a blind eye to all of them.】

At this moment, Huan Yi suddenly understood why she had always wanted to follow Chu Shizhao to the end.

That's it!

What we want is this kind of person who protects his shortcomings and is arrogant.

What a sense of security this is!
Don’t be afraid if you get into trouble, Chu Shizhao will cover it for you.

His waving of his hand was not a rejection, that required no further words!

And on the screen.

A brand new piece of text appeared in front of Chu Shizhao's eyes.

[When you lead this new army of the Central Government, you are the soul of this army. ]

[This new army of the Central Government has opened a new transformation interface. When you meet the training requirements and the corresponding weapon equipment level, they will automatically transform into the first-class warriors. 】
