The First Tyrant of Daxia

After the morning court session, Qin Yun returned to the imperial study.

Last night's romance did not dispel his worries about Wang Min. This woman from the Wang family was no simple person.

He learned that the imperial capital's military strength consisted of three major camps and two major corps, totaling about 140,000 troops.

The only one Qin Yun could rely on was Xiao Jian's left camp, as most of the others were controlled by the Wang family group.

In other words, if the Wang family wants to do something treasonous, he will be in danger!

"The position of general of Qinglong Guard is vacant. What can I do to keep these 20,000-plus troops in my own hands?" He worried secretly as there was not even a candidate for promotion.

As he was thinking, a bright light suddenly shot out of his eyes!

"Promote the martial arts examination and win the first place in martial arts!"

"Yes, choose a loyal martial arts champion who comes from a humble family!"

A smile appeared on Qin Yun's face, and he kept walking back and forth.

There was no telling how many sons of powerful officials had been won over by the Wang family, so Qin Yun naturally did not dare to use them.

At this moment, he had no choice but to build up his own power again!

"Come here, summon General Xiao Jian to the palace for an audience immediately!"

Not long after, Xiao Jian arrived.

Qin Yun invited him to stroll in the imperial garden.

When Xiao Jian heard that His Majesty was going to hold a military examination to select the number one scholar, he was suddenly filled with surprise and doubt.

This useless emperor who was once poked in the back and secretly cursed by the ministers in the court, also knows how to command the army? !

Qin Yun seemed to see the concerns in Xiao Jian's heart. He waved his dragon robe, stood up and talked freely.

Originally, Xiao Jian thought that Qin Yun was just making a fuss and didn't take it seriously.

However, the more I listened, the more something was wrong.

The suspicion and surprise in his eyes gradually changed, and finally, his brows were filled with fear!

I even broke out in a cold sweat.

This……

Is this still the useless emperor? !

"My dear Lord Xiao, do you think what I said is feasible?!" Qin Yun spoke slowly with a smile on his face.

When Xiao Jian heard this, he suddenly came to his senses, stood up respectfully, knelt on the ground with a plop, and kowtowed twice!

"Your Majesty! You are truly a man of great talent and vision. Xiao Jian is in awe of you!"

"Okay! Then let's implement the election of the top martial arts champion as soon as possible!" Qin Yun said.

Xiao Jian knelt on the ground, looking at Qin Yun's tall figure, and swallowed hard.

Could it be that the useless emperor, who had been scolded for years, had been playing dumb the whole time? !

The next day, morning.

Qin Yun proposed a national martial arts examination, which was aimed at children from poor families and not at children of imperial aristocrats.

It also implicitly expressed that the top martial arts champion would serve as the general of the Qinglong Guard of the Imperial Army!

As the news came out, the government and the public were shocked!

If it is said that promoting Xiao Jian has made powerful officials such as Wang Wei feel uneasy and unhappy.

So this time, the fact that a martial arts examination was held for a poor family and the prize of becoming the general of the Qinglong Guard was offered made them extremely furious.

Wang Wei led all the officials to stand up and resolutely oppose.

"Your Majesty, if you insist on doing what you want, we will smash our heads against this Taiji Palace and die to prove our determination!" said Li Feng, the Minister of Rites, in a loud voice.

"Throughout the history of the Great Xia Dynasty, there has never been a saying of promoting the poor and marginalizing the nobles! Your Majesty, you will make the nobles of the world feel disheartened by this! Then there will definitely be chaos everywhere."

"Your Majesty, please think twice!"

Qin Yun frowned and said loudly: "When did I ever say that I would marginalize the nobles?"

"I just want to promote one or two young men from poor families. Do you have to be so excited?"

Upon hearing this, some sour scholars, literati and historians began to criticize and denounce.

"Your Majesty, the late emperor once said that the nobles from all over the country made great contributions to the Great Xia Dynasty! And what you are doing now is not forgetting your roots, right?"

"Most poor people are of the lowest class. How can Your Majesty be so depraved as to promote poor people?"

"Your Majesty, who gave you this bad idea?!"

Qin Yun's mouth was dry and his tongue was parched. He had a heated argument with the ministers, but in the end he was outnumbered and gradually lost the upper hand.

He covered his forehead and looked at the excited ministers below. He felt a headache and angry at the same time!

He gritted his teeth several times and tried to assert his authority, but he endured it every time.

This matter cannot be rushed.

Because, the contradiction between the poor and the nobles has been an unsolvable one throughout the ages.

Therefore, Qin Yun encountered not only opposition from Wang Wei's camp, but opposition from all the nobles in the court!

At last.

The morning court ended in unhappiness.

Qin Yun returned to the Yangxin Palace and was furious!

"Clap!"

He kicked over a blue and white porcelain vase, breaking it into pieces on the floor.

The eunuchs and palace maids knelt on the ground, trembling all over, not daring to say a word. It had been many years since His Majesty had been so angry.

"How dare this Grand Tutor Wei insult me ​​in public, saying that I am foolish. Does he really think that I dare not kill him?!"

"A bunch of sour scholars, you dare to follow Wang Wei and other powerful officials to stop me from holding the military examination!"

"Powerful officials are in power, but they don't promote the poor. What a bunch of mediocre officials!"

Qin Yun was so angry at the group of old men that he started swearing and overturned a pearwood table.

No one dared to approach him. Only Concubine Xiao Shu walked up to Qin Yun with a gentle look on her face and a bowl of tea in her slender fingers.

"Your Majesty, please drink some water first."

Qin Yun was angry and waved his arm reflexively.

"boom!"

The tea bowl was blown away, Concubine Xiao Shufei lost her balance and fell to the ground with a bang.

Seeing this, Qin Yun looked regretful.

He quickly reached out to help her up and said apologetically, "Xiang'er, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it. I thought it was some blind palace maid."

Concubine Xiao Shu was still in shock, but she immediately forced out a gentle smile and said comfortingly, "It's okay, Your Majesty."

"You must take care of your health and don't get angry. If Your Majesty wants to train his own people, you can actually think of other ways. There is no need to quarrel with the ministers."

Hearing this, Qin Yun smiled bitterly.

I thought that you were speaking for the ministers, but the ministers were making a fuss about you and your brother.

The Xiao family's ancestors were merchants of the lowest class and were not well-received by the nobles.

Today, many ministers' voices have spread to the Xiao Jian brother and sister who have been in the limelight recently, saying that the matter of the poor family's martial arts examination was a magic potion set up by the Xiao family.

By accident, Xiao Jian and Concubine Xiao Shu were both involved in this turmoil and were hated by many noble ministers, especially Wang Wei!

Thinking of this, Qin Yun had a headache. He rested his head on Concubine Xiao Shu's legs. Concubine Xiao Shu looked gentle and stretched out her hands to massage his head.

She was clever and virtuous. After only pressing for a short while, Qin Yun already felt refreshed.

"Alas, Xiang'er, you are still more comfortable." Qin Yun narrowed his eyes and sighed.

Concubine Xiao Shu showed a happy smile and said softly, "Your Majesty, I am ashamed. I am a woman and I cannot help you in any way. I feel guilty."

"How can I not help? Just give me a few more sons in the future." Qin Yun winked.

Concubine Xiao Shu's pretty face turned red, a glimmer flashed in her eyes, and she said softly, "Your Majesty... I also want to give birth to a dragon son for Your Majesty as soon as possible."

"Being able to continue your majesty's bloodline and give birth to children is a blessing that Xiang'er earned in her previous life."

When Qin Yun heard this, a hint of tenderness appeared between his eyebrows.

With a girl like this, what more could a husband ask for!

"Hey, my beloved, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and give birth to a dragon son for me!"

He turned over and sat up, then laid Concubine Xiao Shufei down on the bed.
