We have fought to the Arctic Circle, and you want me to inherit the throne?

As soon as Li Che walked out of the palace, a group of military generals immediately surrounded him.

Wang Sanchun was impatient and was the first to ask, "How is your Highness? Has the Emperor given you any trouble?"

Li Che shook his head: "I am fine, I just took on a troublesome matter."

When they told everyone what had just happened, they all looked dissatisfied.

Wang Sanchun frowned and said, "This is ridiculous. The Ministry of Rites is not doing its job properly. What does this have to do with Your Highness? How can I allow you to offend others?"

Huo Duanxiao, who was standing by, said, "This matter has its pros and cons. How will Your Highness proceed?"

Li Che smiled lightly and said, "Since I have already taken on this matter, I must do it well and beautifully!"

"If you want to do your work well, you must first sharpen your tools. First, gather the people, then get to work."

After saying that, he raised his eyes and looked at everyone: "Winning cloth."

"The general is here!"

"Go to Prince Feng's Mansion and call everyone over. Then go to Prince Yan's Mansion and tell him what's going on here so he doesn't have to worry."

"Here."

"Others." Li Che paused.

Everyone turned to look at Li Che.

"Follow me to the Jinyiwei first. If these idiots are not properly disciplined, I'm afraid they can't be used with confidence."

"Yes, Your Highness!" everyone said in unison.

. . . . . .

The offices of Daqing institutions were almost all located on both sides of the square in front of the imperial city. The Jinyiwei office was stationed on the west side of the square in accordance with the etiquette of "civil officials in the east and military officials in the west".

When Li Che led his men into the palace, the government office had already received the imperial edict from Emperor Qing.

Ren Kuan led a group of Jinyiwei captains to welcome the new superior at the door.

"Meet the Commander."

Led by Ren Kuan, a group of high-ranking Jinyiwei came forward to pay their respects, their voices in a chaotic manner.

Li Che's face darkened. What else could you expect from a group of guys who couldn't even clearly chant slogans?

"Get up." Li Che walked into the yamen with big strides without stopping.

Everyone stood up and looked at each other, feeling uneasy, not knowing what the King was going to do.

When the Jinyiwei was first established, its duties were limited to guarding, delivering imperial decrees, and performing ceremonial duties, meaning they were the personal guards of Emperor Qing.

As Emperor Qing's desire for control over power gradually grew, in order to strengthen the imperial rule, he gave them the additional functions of "guarding the emperor directly, patrolling and arresting criminals."

But the Jinyiwei are still the Jinyiwei. Although their power has been increased, they are essentially a group of second-generation officials and military personnel, and are simply unable to shoulder such a heavy responsibility.

Their actual abilities did not live up to Emperor Qing's expectations of them, and the Jinyiwei became increasingly incompetent.

Now that Li Che has temporarily taken over the Jinyiwei, he naturally needs to train them.

Emperor Qing's imperial power is linked to his own interests. Li Che also hopes that the Daqing court will be stable and provide Fengguo with a safe rear.

While doing good things, he also left a reliable personal guard for his cheap father.

Li Che sat in the upper seat of the Jinyiwei Yamen, looking at the Jinyiwei below with depression written all over their faces, and he became more and more dissatisfied.

Even the blue short shirts worn by the Jinyiwei looked so unpleasant.

"Invite the troops." Li Che said coldly.

"Ah?" Ren Kuan, who was sitting below him, was stunned.

"I'm calling the troops. Are you deaf?"

The Embroidered Uniform Guard was the imperial guard, also known as the Imperial Guard, and was a regular military organization.

However, it is obvious that the Jinyiwei of Daqing had long forgotten about this. Not only did they not have any intention of militarized management, but they became one of the most lax government offices in Daqing.

When the drums sounded, the Jinyiwei ran out in groups of three or four and gathered in the parade ground behind the yamen.

Li Che's face was as gloomy as water, and he occasionally looked up at the sky.

After a full quarter of an hour, the noise in the training ground died down a bit, and the Jinyiwei barely formed a line.

Li Che picked up the list from the table, stood up and walked towards the training ground, and the others hurriedly followed.

When they arrived at the parade ground, hundreds of Jinyiwei looked over at them.

Li Che frowned and could tell at a glance that the number of Jinyiwei on the scene was wrong.

But he didn't say anything. He just threw the list to Qiu Bai and said, "Call the roll."

Upon hearing this, the faces of all the Jinyiwei captains suddenly changed.

Qiu Bai took the roster, stepped forward and began to call out names.

"Wang Cheng."

"arrive."

"Thank you for being safe."

"..."

"Chen Jing."

"..."

As Qiu Bai continued to read out names, Li Che's expression became increasingly ugly.

A rough estimate is that not even half of the people in the room answered the question.

It's already afternoon now, this is not being late, this is being absent!

"Your Highness, there were supposed to be 2,352 people present, but 927 actually showed up."

Li Che sneered and looked at Ren Kuan beside him: "Ren Kuan, this is the Jinyiwei you lead? This is the emperor's personal army of Daqing?"

Ren Kuan's face was grim: "Your Highness, some of them are out on missions, and some have asked for leave..."

"Are there records of people who go out on business?" Li Che asked.

Ren Kuan nodded and quickly asked someone to bring another list.

Li Che asked Qiu Bai to cross out the names above, but half of the people were still missing.

"Your Highness..." Ren Kuan looked conflicted.

Li Che glanced at him and said, "Are you drawing a salary without working?"

Ren Kuan was so frightened that he knelt on one knee and said hurriedly, "Your Highness, please understand. The Jinyiwei are all children of officials, and their positions were all appointed by Your Majesty personally. How dare I do this?"

Li Che nodded in understanding.

Yes, these Jinyiwei are all second-generation soldiers, and they are also the emperor’s personal soldiers. Ren Kuan certainly wouldn’t dare to collect the salary without working.

There is only one answer: these second-generation officials do not take the job of Jinyiwei seriously at all. They come and go as they please.

They treated this good government office as a holiday resort!

Li Che had a blank expression on his face, and there seemed to be a layer of frost in his eyes.

He walked forward slowly, put his hands behind his back, and glanced at everyone. His powerful aura made the entire training ground silent.

After a moment, he said in a cold voice: "Anyone who fails to show up today will be dismissed and investigated."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's faces changed drastically. Several Jinyiwei couldn't help but whispered, but under Li Che's cold gaze, even swallowing seemed difficult.

"Your Highness..." Ren Kuan said anxiously.

Li Che immediately interrupted: "Those who plead for mercy will suffer the same fate as them!"

Ren Kuan immediately shut his mouth.

"The Jinyiwei enforces the law for the country and is the emperor's personal army. They are not a place for you playboys to have fun!"

"From today on, I, the king, will only keep loyal and hardworking people here. No useless people who just sit there doing nothing will be allowed here!"

Before he finished speaking, he waved his hand to Qiu Bai, who took out the information of the Jinyiwei who had not signed yet and called out their names to cancel them on the spot.

The whole process was carried out swiftly and decisively. The faces of the officials' children present were pale, but no one dared to speak. The oppressive atmosphere was almost suffocating.

Ren Kuan moved his lips, wanting to speak again to dissuade him.

In the end, he gave up. Li Che became the commander-in-chief, and he was automatically demoted to deputy commander-in-chief.

Although Li Che's command is temporary, theoretically personnel changes cannot be made.

But unfortunately, the truth is now in Li Che's hands.
