Chapter 193 Mu Changtian's Reminder

After the news that Beijun took back the land ownership from Beiwang Mansion spread throughout Daxia, Lu Chen suddenly had countless enemies, and many forces and organizations were ready to make a move, and some forces even offered a reward for Lu Chen's head.

Lu Chen was the Beiwang after all, the son of Emperor Xia, and someone dared to offer a reward for his head. This was enough to show how much Lu Chen's actions were hated this time, and it also proved from the side that Emperor Xia no longer had any deterrent power.

The most important thing was that the court had no reaction to this, and Emperor Xia had no intention of protecting Lu Chen.

Lu Chen had caused the matter himself, so he should solve it. As for the royal dignity, what royal dignity could they have? As an emperor, he was forced to compromise by the aristocratic families, so what dignity could he still talk about.

Only when the aristocratic families were destroyed, the forces supported by the aristocratic families would not be so arrogant.

One month later.

Beijun.

Lu Chen was handling government affairs in the study, when Li Rui and Mu Changtian came to the study to report to Lu Chen on the recent reforms in Beijun.

The population of Beijun is relatively small. After the propaganda of Jinyiwei and Beijun soldiers, the people have basically been relieved about the land issue.

Even many people have obtained more cultivated land, which makes the people believe that the King of Bei has not cheated them.

The reform has been smoothly implemented.

The military reform has not encountered too many problems. The laws of the Northern Kingdom stipulate that every adult has the obligation to serve in the military, but they are conscripts, which are different from recruited professional soldiers.

After serving as conscripts for a few years, soldiers have the opportunity to become professional soldiers, and professional soldiers are treated very well. Now many former soldiers in Beijun have become professional soldiers.

Today's professional soldiers will not only distribute land, but the moment they become professional soldiers, the Northern Palace will also give them a large allowance. Lu Chen even stipulates that the descendants of professional soldiers can study for free, which immediately raises the status of soldiers.

At this time, Mu Changtian said to Lu Chen: "Your Majesty, I think there are still too few promotion channels between conscripts and professional soldiers. According to the current reform plan, conscripts must serve for several years before they can be promoted to professional soldiers. This may have limited incentive effect on ordinary conscripts. In the future, some conscripts will definitely think that they can just waste time.

"So I suggest adding more promotion channels, such as improving their treatment according to military merit."

Lu Chen said: "I also have this idea, but there are too many things recently, and I haven't written detailed promotion rules. Since you have thought of it, when you go back, write your ideas in a memorial and submit them to me for reference."

"Yes, Your Majesty! "

Lu Chen did not fail to think about the treatment of conscripts. He deliberately created a gap in treatment between conscripts and professional soldiers, mainly to motivate conscripts to become professional soldiers.

If there is only one promotion channel, it is obviously impossible to motivate ordinary conscripts, so Lu Chen is also considering improving the military merit system.

After talking about the promotion of soldiers, Mu Changtian and Li Rui continued to report some problems they encountered in the recent reform.

After about half an hour, the voice of the maid sounded at the door of the study, interrupting the two people's report.

"Your Majesty, Commander Qin is here."

Qin Yushan was assigned to make weapons, and he rarely came to Lu Chen in person to pass on information recently. Basically, it was the thousand households of the Jinyiwei who came to report to Lu Chen what happened recently in Daxia.

But since he came, it means that there must be something important.

Li Rui and Mu Changtian stood aside and stopped talking.

At this time, Lu Chen said to the maid at the door: "Let him in."

Qin Yushan then pushed the door and entered the study, "Greetings, Your Majesty! "

Lu Chen said "hmm", and his eyes fell on the bamboo tube in Qin Yushan's hand.

"Commander Qin, has something big happened in the capital again?"

Qin Yushan walked up to Lu Chen, handed the bamboo tube containing the letter to Lu Chen, and then said: "Your Highness, now the major families in Daxia have secretly sent many assassins to Beijun, intending to harm you.

"According to the intelligence of Commander Liang, they know that there are three waves of assassins coming to Beijun, and these assassins are very strong. Each wave of assassins has a master-level warrior, and there are even masters at the extreme level."

Hearing Qin Yushan's words, Lu Chen just smiled, then he took out the bamboo tube, took out the information inside, and then scanned it carefully.

Lu Chen basically anticipated what would happen later. He touched the nerves of the families, and those families definitely didn't want him to live. Although he was far away in Beijun, he started this, which was enough to make the families want to kill him.

After hearing Qin Yushan's report, Mu Changtian immediately stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I will strengthen the vigilance of Yancheng when I return, and try not to let those strong strangers enter Yancheng."

Lu Chen said, "No need."

"There are countless ways for them to enter Yancheng, and the city walls can't stop them."

"Let them all come, I just need to find some stronger warriors to practice with."

Lu Chen's power-absorbing technique has begun to be practiced. Since he obtained the power-absorbing technique, he has been running to Chunshengyuan every day. The power-absorbing technique has now reached the first level.

It's just that he has never used this technique. He is staying in Beiwang Mansion and has no contact with the enemy. Now that the assassins are coming to his door, he can try out his power-absorbing technique to see how powerful it is. How about it.

After hearing Lu Chen's words, Mu Changtian thought for a while, and it seemed that Lu Chen did not need to be afraid of those assassins. Lu Chen himself was the master, and Lu Chen also had many mysterious weapons. Those assassins came to assassinate Lu Chen because they were looking for death. .

However, although Lu Chen was not afraid, others were different.

Thinking of this, Mu Changtian said: "My lord, you are now a grand master, and ordinary warriors cannot hurt you, but your wife, concubines and children in the North Palace are different."

"If those assassins find it difficult to assassinate you, they might turn against the people around you."

Hearing Mu Changtian's words, Lu Chen fell into deep thought.

This is a problem.

Mu Zixuan and Dazhou and Xiaozhou are just ordinary people, and his children are also ordinary people. They have no fighting power when encountering warriors.

Lu Chen said: "In the future, I will ask General Xuanyuan to guard the palace to prevent assassins from sneaking into the palace."

Seeing that Lu Chen already had someone in mind to protect the Northern Palace, Mu Changtian didn't say anything more.

Xuanyuan Chen and Wen Renlie are both very powerful. They already have the strength of the ultimate master realm. They are not ordinary masters. With them guarding the North Palace, plus the mysterious weapons of the North Palace, they want to resist the assassins. The attack is no problem.

Of course, it is easy to hide from open guns and hard to guard against hidden arrows. If the people from Bei Wangfu leave Beiwang Mansion, it will be different. However, Mu Changtian believes that Lu Chen will ask the women from Beiwang Mansion not to leave Beiwang Mansion in the next period of time.

Mu Zixuan is Mu Changtian's daughter, and Mu Zixuan is now the princess of the North King, so compared to Lu Chen, Mu Changtian is more concerned about the safety of the North King's Mansion.

If something happened to his daughter, the relationship between their Mu family and King Bei would not be so close.

At this time, Qin Yushan continued: "Your Majesty, there is another news."

After hearing Qin Yushan's words, Lu Chen realized that he had a double copy of the information, and there was another piece below.

Lu Chen then opened the first piece of information and checked the contents of the second piece of information.

Qin Yushan continued: "Dawu gathered an army of one million and launched an all-out attack on Xiwu County. The Eighth Prince was sent by His Majesty to the front line to fight against Dawu's army."

Lu Chen laughed, and then said: "It seems that the war should be over. I, my eighth brother, have gone to the front line to do military exploits. Are you planning to let my father make him the prince?"

Mu Changtian said: "Your Majesty, I heard that the head of the Chu family has come to Beijun. If you are willing, you may try to win over the Chu family and prevent the Jiangnan family from uniting. This may be more beneficial to you."

Lu Chen put down the information in his hand and said calmly: "It's useless. My grandfather is no longer the head of the Chu family. Now there are only a few people in the Chu family supporting him. The Chu family has basically fallen to my eight-strong family." Brother Huang."

At this moment, the maid's voice came from the door again, "Your Majesty, Wu Qianhu is here."

Lu Chen said: "Come in."

Wu Yuan then entered the study room and said, "Meet the prince!"

Lu Chen asked directly: "What's the matter?"

Wu Yuan replied: "Your Majesty, General Lin has led the imperial court's 20,000 troops to withdraw to Yancheng. They should leave Yancheng at sunset."

The imperial court's punishment measures for Lu Chen came to Beijun half a month ago, which was to withdraw the imperial court's 20,000 soldiers and let the northern country deal with the barbarians on the grassland.

The court's punitive measures were not painful to Lu Chen, and he did not take them seriously at all. evil

Lu Chen said: "Let them leave and ignore them."

Wu Yuan said: "Your Majesty, General Lin said he wants to meet with you in private. I wonder if it would be convenient for you."

Hearing this, Lu Chen suddenly became interested, "Oh, meeting with me in private? This is quite interesting."

"Then make arrangements for me to meet with him in the evening."

Wu Yuan immediately said: "Yes, Your Majesty."

"My subordinates resign."

Lin Xiuming's father is Prime Minister Zuo. If Lin Xiuming wants to meet with him in private, it means that Prime Minister Lin Gaoyuan is on his side. Otherwise, Lin Xiuming will not meet with him in private when he is about to leave Beijun. .

As a general of the imperial court, it was taboo to meet a vassal king in private. If the imperial court found out about this, both Lin Xiuming and Lin Gaoyuan would be in trouble.

After Wu Yuan left, Qin Yushan quickly left the study, while Mu Changtian and Li Rui continued to report on the reform situation in Beijun.

at dusk.

Under the arrangement of Jin Yiwei, Lu Chen came to a restaurant. If Lin Xiuming wanted to see him, he would definitely not be able to let Lin Xiuming come to Beiwang Mansion, so they specially arranged a private room in Tingyulou to open a restaurant.

When he saw Lu Chen, Lin Xiuming felt a huge coercion. Lin Xiuming was startled. Sure enough, it was similar to what he felt last time. King Bei was a warrior, and his strength was not low. He was even better than himself. above.
