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

Chapter 368: Rectifying the Imperial Guards (Part 2)

Li Che is not afraid of offending people.

Who was behind this group of dandies? Which princes and nobles sent them here to gild themselves? Li Che didn't care.

Anyway, they are all a bunch of bastards and illegitimate children. Who would send a good legitimate son to the Jinyiwei?

Li Che just didn't believe that these ministers would be so bold as to offend him because of a mere bastard's son.

"Also." Li Che changed the subject, and his cold voice sounded again, "Immediately send people to the Imperial Guards to select good family members to fill the vacancies. Only those with clean backgrounds, good martial arts skills, and loyalty can be selected."

"Yes."

Ren Kuan and others have given up resistance.

After all, everyone has been driven away by Li Che. What else can they do? They have to recruit more people, right?

Li Che looked at the Jinyiwei high-ranking officials and said in a deep voice: "What are your positions? Tell me yourself."

"Deputy Commander of the Imperial Guard, Yan Kuan."

"Deputy Commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, Cao Yong."

"Jinyiwei captain, Chengqi."

"Captain of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, Xue Bao."

"Captain of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, Chen Wu."

"..."

Li Che frowned, feeling confused.

It is really awkward for the Jinyiwei to use military positions, and it is difficult to divide the responsibilities.

He simply waved his hand and said, "From today on, the official titles of the Jinyiwei will be changed."

Yan Kuan felt his head was about to explode. Not only did this young man lay off half of the staff right after taking office, but now he even wanted to change the official positions.

But he still bowed and asked, "I wonder how Your Highness would like to change it?"

"The position of commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard remains unchanged, and I will take over temporarily." Li Che thought for a moment and spoke fluently.

"There are two deputy commanders under him, both of whom are third-rank officials and were formerly deputy commanders of the Imperial Guard."

"There will be four assistant commanders, all of the fourth rank, formerly lieutenants of the Imperial Guard."

Li Che paused and looked at the other people in the training ground.

Going further down, there are the grassroots positions of the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

"There are thousand-household units, under which there are chief thousand-household units, of the first fifth rank, and deputy thousand-household units, of the second fifth rank. Each thousand-household unit has 1,120 people, divided into ten hundred-household units."

"Each hundred households has a regular sixth-rank centurion and a trial centurion, a junior sixth-rank centurion, for a total of 112 people."

"A hundred households have two general flags, each of which commands five small flags, and each small flag commands ten ordinary Jinyiwei."

Ren Kuan and the others were all dumbfounded.

I thought that Li Che was given the task temporarily, and even if he was a new official, it wouldn't be too much trouble.

The so-called reform of the official system is at most a change of name, the core will not change, and he is not capable of inventing a new system in such a short time.

Little did he know that Li Che had the Jinyiwei system from his previous life in his mind, and he simply copied it entirely.

As one of China's top spy agencies, the Jinyiwei has a very complete official system that is absolutely superior to the existing official positions of the Daqing Jinyiwei.

But in the eyes of Ren Kuan and others, it was completely different.

How could Prince Feng come up with a seemingly mature official system in such a short period of time?

This swift and powerful combination of punches caught them off guard.

Li Che was too lazy to care about what they were thinking. He looked at the grassroots Jinyiwei and said:

"Once you join the Jinyiwei, you will be the emperor's personal guards. If you want to just eat and wait for death, you'd better say so as soon as possible. You can leave now."

"I don't care what your background is, what high-ranking officials your family has, or how powerful your parents are. Can they be as powerful as me?"

The Jinyiwei looked ashamed.

Naturally, they didn't dare to compete with Li Che for fatherhood. In fact, their situation was not as good as Li Che said.

As illegitimate children of the family, they were destined not to receive the family property and title, and even had no chance to climb up.

Their future is very clear, that is, there is no future at all!

It is a helpless move for the Jinyiwei to give up. After all, the channels for advancement are blocked. What else can they do if they don't give up?

"However, I will also give a chance to those who stay." Li Che continued.

"Before, the Jinyiwei were just soldiers. No matter how much you achieve, the Jinyiwei are still the Jinyiwei.

Now, I have set up positions such as small flags, general flags, centurions, and thousand households, which are prepared for people like you.

Jinyiwei only looks at merit, as long as you can make achievements, you can get promoted here!"

Li Che paused, looked at Ren Kuan beside him, and said quietly: "Even if he is promoted to the third rank, it is still unknown."

Ren Kuan just felt his scalp tingling. It was okay that his commander was squeezed out, after all, Li Che was a prince.

Now you tell me, can an ordinary Jinyiwei below also kill me and get to the top?

Ren Kuan suddenly felt a sense of crisis. Li Che's actions made the ancient people deeply experience the feeling of mid-life crisis.

Li Che retracted his gaze and continued, "I have said all the good things. You can consider it yourselves. I will give you one stick of incense."

"If anyone disobeys my authority, leave this place within one stick of incense."

Time passed by minute by minute, and no one left.

For these bastards and illegitimate children, a channel for advancement is more precious than gold. How could they possibly give it up?

The good family members in the Jinyiwei, now having the long-awaited opportunity to make a class leap, would not quit at this time.

"Okay!" Li Che finally had a smile on his face, "Since you're staying, there's no way back."

Hundreds of people flushed and said in unison: "We are willing to die for your Majesty and serve your Highness!"

Li Che nodded slightly and looked at Ren Kuan beside him: "I will leave the matter of official position reform and recruitment of Jinyiwei to you. Don't let me down."

Ren Kuan bowed and said, "I understand."

Li Che made such a big move, Ren Kuan definitely couldn't just sit back and watch.

Today's matter must be reported to the emperor and decided by His Majesty.

Ren Kuan felt that His Majesty would never agree. Prince Feng's move was equivalent to keeping the Embroidered Uniform Guard firmly in his hands.

Your Majesty is a powerful ruler. How could he allow a vassal prince to control his own army?

As for now, it doesn't hurt to agree to it first. Anyway, once the imperial edict arrives, all this will be invalid.

Seeing Ren Kuan absent-minded, Li Che frowned and said in a deep voice: "How many days will it take to finish it?"

Ren Kuan came back to his senses and said, "This...will take at least seven days."

“Too long!”

"On the fifth day, the Imperial Guards also have the task of investigating the identity of the person who assassinated His Highness. They are really too busy to handle everything!"

Li Che shook his head and held up three fingers: "Three days, I will only give you three days!"

"If you can't do it well, get out and let someone else take over as the commander!"

Ren Kuan immediately said anxiously, "How is this possible? Three days is too short. There is no way I can do this."

Before Li Che could reply, Cao Yong, the former deputy commander of the Jinyiwei, spoke up, "I think this isn't difficult. It's nothing more than recruiting some people and then reorganizing them in batches. Three days is more than enough time."

Ren Kuan looked back in astonishment, only to see Cao Yong's expression remained calm, with the words 'If you can't do it, let me do it' practically written on his face.

This old Cao is not just talking without any pain in his waist, he is a complete traitor!

What kind of witchcraft did King Feng cast on you to make you switch sides so quickly?

Li Che's mouth corners rose slightly.

Sure enough, a company without a path to advancement and without business pressure will become stagnant and will eventually destroy itself.

If we want to make the Jinyiwei more active, we must first make the top leaders feel a sense of crisis and the bottom leaders be enterprising.

Don’t even think about slacking off, all the Jinyiwei will be forced to roll up their sleeves!
