"This is the best, Lao Zhou. If the military parade at the National Day ceremony is done perfectly, I will grant you the title of Marquis, but if there is any mistake..." Zhao Xu said gloomyly.

"If there is any mistake, Your Majesty will remove the old minister's head."

"Well, it's great, you go back."

"The old minister takes his leave, long live my emperor." After Zhou Tong withdrew from the imperial study, the cold sweat on his head suddenly flowed down, as if he couldn't stop it, because they all knew that Zhao Xu was not an emperor who could just say it and just play with it.

All the matters about National Day are proceeding in an orderly manner according to the planned agreed plan. Whether it is the military parade of the National Day ceremony, float performances, various stage plays, or the learning problems of the officers and students, etc., all of them are proceeding according to the plan. However, the person who is the busiest for these things is not the emperor Zhao Xu, but the ministers of the officials and ministers of the major departments. Zhao Xu, with the mentality of the superiors, hand-off almost everything except the general direction, and became a hand-off manager with peace of mind. However, is this Zhao Xu's complete trust in his subordinates and his confidant ministers? No, as an emperor, he also has the unique personality of an emperor, that is, he is suspicious.

"Master, all the information about the ministers of the current dynasty has been summarized this month. Please take a look at it." In a secret room in the imperial study room, a man covered in black clothes and only had a pair of eyes exposed, knelt there respectfully and said to Zhao Xu.

With a faint dark room, Zhao Xu sat cynically on a chair inside, facing a lamp, and gently repaired his nails in his hand, "Get up, let's talk to me briefly if you choose the key points."

"Abide by the order. The communication activities of all ministers this month are basically not very different from those of last month. The adults in Tokyo Bianliang City continue to live according to their original pace of life. There are no special changes in the various roads, prefectures, county governments, and garrison generals everywhere in the border areas of the empire." Yes, the person in front of Zhao Xu is not an iron tiger, but a shadow attached to the CIA. Its name is "Xiao". This is a name given by Zhao Xu when he recalls a plot in the Naruto anime in later generations. This organization is in the darkness and its purpose is to protect the light. However, this shadow organization named "Xiao" by Zhao Xu is no longer known to Zhao Xu except Zhao Xu himself.

"The court has been busy lately, and major departments are busy all over the National Day ceremony. Like Liu Shihai, this fat man must have embezzled a lot of money again."

"Yes, master, Liu Shihai is in charge of the commodity trade and transportation channels controlled by the Imperial Trading Bank and the entire Empire. The silver and money respected by the families of major trading banks and the ministers in the court are already huge. In addition, Liu Shihai often secretly carries goods through his position to seek financial benefits, so Liu Shihai will have a gray income of tens of thousands or even tens of thousands of people per month."

"It's okay to be greedy for a few dollars. Let's talk about other officials, the ministers of the Tianguans of various departments, the three cabinet ministers, and the various bachelors, the Censorate, the General Staff, the Military Academy, etc., all of them."

"The Tianguans and Secretary of the Ministry of Commerce, except for Xu Liang's total extra money received this month, the Tianguans and Secretary of the Ministry of Commerce all have an additional income of 20,000 yuan, and most of them are filial to the people below. For example, Liu Shihai, Zhou Tong, the Ministry of War, was mostly gifted by generals who returned to Beijing. Zheng Junyan, the Ministry of Ceremony, was because of the National Day ceremony. Many businesses wanted to set up stalls to do business at the ceremony and went to visit the gifts or money that Zheng Junyan respected. Ouyang Shuliang, as a Tianguan official of the Ministry of Personnel, had his disciples and old friends all over the world. People who came to visit the worship service every day were like crucian carp crossing the river, and there were endless streams. Ouyang Shuliang, as a Tianguan official of the Ministry of Personnel, had his disciples and old friends all over the world.

Shuliang receives filial piety every month ranging from 7,000 to 20,000 to 20,000 to 30,000. As for Xie Dongyi, the Ministry of Justice, is naturally the one who seeks mercy. The number is not large, and it is about 2,000 to 30,000 per month. As for the bachelors and grand scholars in the court who can earn a lot of profits in addition to those who invest in the Imperial Trading Company to do business, many people will sell their calligraphy and paintings in the market to subsidize their household income. As for the censors of the Censorate, life is even tighter. Except for the left censors Ma Kanglai and the right censor He Dingsheng who invested in the Imperial Trading Company, the other censors can only rely on that fixed salary to support their families."

"Why don't they sell some calligraphy and paintings?" Zhao Xu asked in confusion.

"Report to the master, the people in the Censorate do nothing but offensive work, so no one is willing to contact the people in the Censorate, both in the civil and officialdom." The man in black said.

"How are the General Staff and those officers and students?"

"Most of the staff of the General Staff come from the Guigu lineage. Even those who are not Guigu sects are all in harmony with those Guigu sects. Now the entire General Staff relies on the care of Concubine De, so they have no problem with loyalty. As for the officer training students in the military academy, they often rely on their senior officers to beat and scold the low-level officers in the military academy, so the low-level officers in the military academy were extremely dissatisfied with the officer training students, and even had great resistance and hostility."

"Hmph, it seems that these guys don't feel the fatigue that penetrates deep into their bones. OK, I know all of these. Remember my instructions. Once you find that the ministers in the court have colluded with foreign countries and caused trouble to the court, no matter at any time or anywhere, you must report to me as soon as possible."

"Yes, my subordinates obey the order."

"Okay, you go back."

"I'm leaving." As he said that, the man in black slowly retreated to a dark place in the secret room, there was no sound anymore. After a closer look, there was only Zhao Xu left in the secret room. As for how the man in black left this secret room, no one knew about it
