Chapter 464 Drawing a circle(1/3)
No other members of the cabinet were present, only Jing Hongchen and Huo Yuhao were here.
As soon as Jing Hongchen saw Huo Yuhao, he solemnly said: "Huo Yuhao, you have taken too big a step."
"You have just succeeded to the throne and your foundation in the government is not stable. If you carry out reforms in such a big way, how much resistance will you face?"
"Even Mingdetang and I can't be the only one in the court. Do you think those ministers and army commanders will accept me in their hearts if they don't go to court for impeachment?"
"Did you see the way Ye Yulin looked at me? Do you think he is willing to listen to me?"
For the purpose of avoiding suspicion and convincing the public, the cabinet members had to include some experienced ninth-level soul masters and important ministers. Star Douluo Ye Yulin was one of them. His qualifications and strength were not inferior to Jing Hongchen, so he was willing to listen.
It is impossible for Jing Hongchen to give orders without feeling resentful.
Huo Yuhao chuckled and said nonchalantly to Jing Hongchen: "Chief Assistant Hongchen, relax a little. Now there is no Sun and Moon Emperor Xu Sheng, only cabinet member Huo Yuhao. I have to follow your arrangements, Lord Chief Assistant."
Jing Hongchen was dumbfounded by his words. He sat down at the table, poured a cup of tea, and tasted it carefully.
After taking a few sips of tea, he said slowly: "The Protector's Hand Soul Engineer Group is only loyal to the royal family. They previously believed that Xu Tianran was the orthodox one, but now that Mr. Kong is backing you, there is no need to worry about orthodoxy issues."
"The third prince has no ambition to fight for power now, so there is no need to worry too much. Those civil servants cannot make any big waves. The government seems to be stable now, but you must solve the issue of control of the army."
Jing Hongchen's tone was quite serious.
"I'm warning you, the commander of each soul engineer regiment is promoted step by step from the squad leader, and has a very high prestige in the army. If you dare to order them to step down today, they will dare to mutiny tomorrow."
Huo Yuhao was silent for a long time and said calmly: "Master Hongchen Hall, what do you have to say?"
He no longer called Jing Hongchen Chief Assistant. The title of Hall Master seemed to lower his rank, but it narrowed the distance between the two.
The military issue does not need repeated reminders from Jing Hongchen, as it is what he has always paid the most attention to.
Jing Hongchen frowned: "You also saw today that the glorious Duke of the north launched a rebellion and wanted to establish his own principality. Of course he is not something to be afraid of, but if the protector of the country rebels, do you know what the consequences will be?"
Huo Yuhao said: "The hands of the protector of the country are stationed in Mingdu. I am confident that I can suppress them."
To a certain extent, he is more intimidating than Xu Tianran, who is supported by the two Long Ye duo, because the Holy Spirit Sect and Xu Tianran only have a temporary cooperative relationship, while Beidi Douluo will always stand behind him.
Jing Hongchen persisted: "It's useless if you just suppress them, you have to make sure they obey!"
Huo Yuhao fell into deep thought after hearing this. He thought of a few people and said, "Master Hongchen Hall, please send some graduates of Mingde Hall to the army. I think Ji Juechen's character should be very suitable for military life."
After Jing Hongchen thought carefully, he nodded and said: "This is the only way, but promotion in the army cannot be rushed, you must have military merit and prestige."
After pondering for a while, he thought: "This counterinsurgency is a good opportunity to accumulate military merit and reputation, or other wars can also quickly accumulate military merit."
After saying that, Jing Hongchen looked at Huo Yuhao and said calmly: "But for now, it seems that you are going to live in peace with Tianhun Xingluo."
Huo Yuhao nodded honestly and admitted: "Yes, Hongchen Hall Master, I will not take the initiative to provoke a war. In the future, the border with Tianhun Xingluo will be opened to trade and a trade-friendly city will be built."
"My national policy is the word 'harmony'."
Hearing this, Jing Hongchen fell into silence again.
The Sun and Moon Empire is the most powerful country and can fight one against three. If the Sun and Moon monarchs sign a treaty and promise not to start a war, then the Douluo Three Kingdoms will definitely accept it happily. The entire Douluo Continent will usher in a short-term peace.
Huo Yuhao was born in Xingluo, so it was impossible for him to allow the Sun and Moon Empire to start a war.
But in Jing Hongchen's heart, there is still a trace of passion for fighting for the Sun and Moon Empire to unify the continent.
It's just that he and Huo Yuhao are now completely on the same page and cannot have the slightest disagreement. If Huo Yuhao's identity is revealed, the Hongchen family will inevitably suffer losses.
Jing Hongchen thought of a distant figure, Caitou Xuhe's father and the old emperor's brother. At the beginning, he was also a member of the Peace Party and believed that soul guides should not be used in war.
It's just that such a weak ruler will end up miserable.
But Huo Yuhao gave Jing Hongchen a very strange feeling. Although he also advocated peace, he had some strong ambition hidden in him, which was completely different from He Caitou's father.
Jing Hongchen sighed and said: "Forget it, before fighting against the outside world, you must first settle down the inside. The top priority now is to consolidate your foundation in the sun and the moon. As long as the foundation is strong enough, then the fake show will be done."
After discussing important government affairs in detail for a while, Jing Hongchen took a sip of tea and changed the topic to a lighter topic.
"Huo Yuhao, do you still remember the civil servant who complained every morning?" Jing Hongchen seemed to have thought of something interesting, his eyes were smiling.
Huo Yuhao was deeply impressed by the silver-bearded old man: "Remember, what happened?"
Jing Hongchen chuckled: "The news just came out that he thinks that the establishment of this cabinet is deviant and allows me, Mingdetang, to dominate the government and the opposition, and the family dominates. Now he plans to go on a hunger strike to protest."
"If this cabinet is not revoked for a day, he will not eat for a day."
Huo Yuhao was also happy when he heard this, and sneered: "Crying day and night, can you cry to death? The leader of Hongchen Hall remembered that during the days when he was on a hunger strike, he sent people to sell barbecue in front of his mansion three times a day. He must remember to
Fan the scent into his home and see how long he can endure it."
Sure enough, he guessed correctly. Apart from kneeling down in court, the only other things these civil servants could do were go on hunger strike and fight against pillars.
However, he was surprisingly fond of some of his remonstrators, who dared to speak frankly to him in court, and their attitude was neither humble nor overbearing, as if they were upright and upright. He was also happy to debate with them, just for fun.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Even Jing Hongchen couldn't help but feel a little ashamed, Huo Yuhao was a little too unkind.
Huo Yuhao held his chin and thought for a while, then suddenly asked: "Master Hongchen Hall, do you think I behave like a tyrant?"
Jing Hongchen did not expect that Huo Yuhao would suddenly ask this question, and shook his head and said: "Although you insist on going your own way and set up a cabinet against all opinions, but you can tolerate the voices of the ministers, and you are far from being called a tyrant."
Huo Yuhao asked again: "When Xu Tianran was in power, was there so much opposition?"
Jing Hongchen shook his head again: "No."
Huo Yuhao asked curiously: "In that case, why do so many people oppose me instead of Xu Tianran?"
After Jing Hongchen thought carefully, he replied: "Because Xu Tianran is really a tyrant."
Huo Yuhao was stunned for a moment, then laughed to himself.
It's really funny. When faced with a tyrant who has killed countless people, everyone is cautious for fear of saying the wrong thing. But when a new emperor comes who is a little more merciful, they all come out and speak freely.
However, he does not need to deal with those ministers all the time. Soon, as the new emperor of the sun and moon, he will practice in seclusion and completely delegate power to the cabinet to handle government affairs. And he, Huo Yuhao, has become a member of the cabinet think tank.
.
Next, he will represent the Sun and Moon Empire as an envoy to Xingluo and the Tianhun Empire to bring the Sun and Moon Empire's peaceful foreign policy.
Jing Hongchen returned to the topic of the army and murmured: "It is impossible for the strongest of Duke Glory's men to reach the eighth ring level. I can arrange for Juechen and other students who are interested in joining the army to join the army and go to quell the rebellion."
"As long as you accumulate enough military exploits and prestige and have sufficient strength, you can legitimately take over the position after the previous army commander retires."
"As for those old army commanders, they can be promoted openly or covertly, be awarded the title of Duke, and enter the enshrinement hall."
A rough process has been initially drawn up, but it will take a long time to fully grasp the strength of the army.
"Military merit..."
Huo Yuhao was thinking secretly and suddenly thought of something good.
Eradicating the evil soul master definitely meant huge military merit, and he happened to know where the headquarters of the Holy Spirit Sect was.
Demonic forest.
He must eradicate the Holy Spirit Sect, and he doesn't need the credit, so he can give it all to Mingdetang.
"Let's just arrange it like this for now."
Huo Yuhao nodded: "Master Hongchen Hall, but there is a word in it that needs to be changed."
"What word?"
"Counter rebellion." Huo Yuhao said solemnly, "I prefer to call it liberation."
"When the time comes, I will personally take charge of the situation to avoid unnecessary casualties."
"The army must have military discipline. I don't want to see things like burning, killing, and looting after victory."
Jing Hongchen was slightly startled and nodded solemnly.
Huo Yuhao leaned back, took out his soul cigarette and took a sip, and said melancholy: "War always kills people, and unnecessary death is always bad. I don't understand why the Sun and Moon Empire has such a strong national power, but not
If you think of using other methods to unify the continent, you will be able to pull away from the other three countries for four thousand years."
He didn't understand why in a world ruled by soul masters, an army of ordinary people was still needed to serve as meaningless cannon fodder.
Jing Hongchen asked in confusion: "The country was carved out inch by inch with artillery fire. How could there be a second method?"
Huo Yuhao curled up his lips, sat up straight, and looked at Jing Hongchen with a smile: "Hall Master Hongchen, what do you think is the fundamental reason why Sun Moon lost to Douluo Three Kingdoms?"
When talking about this topic, Jing Hongchen also became serious and said: "Of course it is because our previous level of soul guides and top experts are not as good as Douluo soul masters, but with the development of the times, we will soon be able to eliminate this problem.
The gap and overtake lies within our generation."
There was a flame in his eyes.
Huo Yuhao asked: "Then who do you think the biggest opponent Sun and Moon will face if they want to conquer the mainland?"
He took out a huge map of the continent and spread it flat on the table.
Jing Hongchen pointed decisively at the junction of Xingluo Tianhun and Dou Ling Three Kingdoms, a separate area in the west of the Star Dou Forest: "Of course it's Shrek Academy."
"Yes, it's Shrek Academy."
Huo Yuhao nodded and admitted: "Hall Master Hongchen, what do you think of Shrek Academy?"
Jing Hongchen gave a very high evaluation: "It is the holy land and spiritual totem of all the soul masters in the continent. There are countless strong ones. It is echoed by hundreds of people in the three kingdoms of the mainland. It is worthy of the name of the number one force in the mainland."
There are many spiritual Shreks even in the Sun and Moon Royal Family.
One of Xu Tianran's dreams after reunifying the continent is to retain Shrek Academy and study there wearing the uniform of Shrek Academy.
