Chapter 463: Plan to Move the Capital

When Lu Chen was still in the North Country, he gave each of his women a puppet in his image.

The craftsmen in the North Palace were very skillful, and the puppets they carved looked very similar to him. At that time, Chu Yuqin reminded Lu Chen that if he gave a puppet, some people might use it to curse him.

Lu Chen didn't see anyone using a puppet in his image to curse him, but now he saw someone using a puppet to do something bad.

Seeing the door of the bedroom suddenly open, Xue Linglong was almost scared to death, and she quickly stuffed the puppet in her hand into the quilt.

Since Lu Chen entered the capital, he has not come to find Xue Linglong because he is too busy. The main reason is that Linglong Palace is far away from the imperial study, and he sleeps in his own bedroom.

Occasionally, he would go to Chen Wanrong's place, and most of the time he would sleep directly with Bai Qingqing in his arms. Bai Qingqing is not only his maid who serves him by his side, but also his personal pillow.

It was Lu Chen's first time to come to Linglong Palace. As a result, the first time he came to Xue Linglong's place, he saw Xue Linglong, the witch, doing bad things with her puppet.

Lu Chen thought to himself that he should not have asked the craftsman to make his puppet so exquisite and smooth.

Lu Chen stared at Xue Linglong and angrily said, "Witch, you are so bold that you actually used my puppet to do that kind of thing. Are you trying to suffocate me to death with witchcraft?"

Hearing this, Xue Linglong panicked for a moment and knelt on the bed and said, "Your Majesty, I know I was wrong. I will never dare to do it again."

Xue Linglong's graceful and exquisite figure knelt on the bed, and the whole person looked even more charming.

Although Xue Linglong's frightened expression was indeed a little exaggerated and there was a bit of acting in it, Xue Linglong was really a little scared in her heart.

After all, she used Lu Chen's puppet to do that kind of thing. In ancient times, there were many people who had their families confiscated and their families exterminated because of witchcraft.

Those who performed witchcraft still used scarecrows, but she used Lu Chen's puppet, and it was such a beautiful puppet that was highly similar to Lu Chen.

No one knew whether Lu Chen would be taboo about this kind of thing. If she really angered Lu Chen, she would probably be tortured to death next.

Thinking of this, Xue Linglong's delicate body trembled slightly.

Xue Linglong had some small emotions in her heart.

This dead ghost, since entering the capital, has been so busy every day, and has never looked for her once.

Why did he come here today?

Isn't he very busy!

What is he doing in Linglong Palace!

And it happened that she came to Linglong Palace today. It was also the first time she used a puppet to do bad things, and she was caught by this guy.

At this time, Lu Chen snorted coldly, "Know your mistakes?"

"A demon girl like you will realize that you are wrong?"

"See how I will deal with you tonight!"

At this point, Lu Chen came to the bedside with a teleportation, and before Xue Linglong could continue to say anything, her delicate body was pressed down by Lu Chen.

Soon, the candlelight in Linglong Palace flickered, and Xue Linglong's voice kept coming out.

"Your Majesty..."

"Mmm..."

"Master, I will never dare to do it again..."

"Mmm..."

...

At this time, Bai Qingqing silently closed the door of Linglong Palace, and then walked to the side of Linglong Palace to meditate and rest.

As the sky gradually turned white, Xue Linglong finally ran out of strength, and the whole person was completely rotten, allowing Lu Chen to punish her in any way.

Seeing the first ray of sunlight in the morning from the window, Lu Chen realized that it was already dawn.

Although he didn't sleep for a night, Lu Chen was refreshed at this time. Since entering the capital, Lu Chen has been busy dealing with various things every day, and he has hardly released his suppressed emotions like this.

He is now a pseudo-celestial being, and not sleeping for a night will not cause any big problems for his body.

Lu Chen glanced at the witch beside him, and then said: "I will spare you this time. If I see you use my doll to do dirty things next time, I will punish you more severely."

Hearing Lu Chen's words, Xue Linglong not only did not beg for mercy, but said weakly: "I am just your Majesty's plaything. At worst, I will be killed by your Majesty."

Lu Chen laughed and said: "It seems that you are not convinced?"

Xue Linglong's body trembled slightly, and she said quickly: "I am convinced, I am convinced It is my honor to be played with by His Majesty. "

Lu Chen said: "I have received a piece of information these days. My brother is sending people to look for you everywhere in order to establish a relationship with the Taiyin Divine Cult."

Hearing this, Xue Linglong was stunned for a moment, then she turned her head and looked at Lu Chen beside her and said: "No wonder you thought of me last night."

"How is it? Isn't the other woman good?"

Having been with Lu Chen for a while, Xue Linglong already knows Lu Chen well enough. This guy likes to play the role of the role the most.

Yesterday, Lu Chen came to her place. He must have thought that Lu Yi was looking for her everywhere, and then this guy's unique hobby was activated, so he came to clean her up.

As a result, he happened to run into her doing bad things with his puppet, giving him an excuse to abuse her.

Hearing Xue Linglong's words, Lu Chen reached out his hand, lifted Xue Linglong's chin, and stared at her charming face, "It's really good."

Xue Linglong said at this time: "It's already dawn, Your Majesty still has a lot of government affairs to deal with, so I won't keep you."

Lu Chen looked into Xue Linglong's eyes and said, "Are you chasing me away?"

Xue Linglong's eyes were as charming as silk, and her eyes were sparkling, "How dare the slave family drive His Majesty away? The slave family is just worried about delaying His Majesty's handling of state affairs. If it delays His Majesty's handling of state affairs, what if someone below impeaches the slave family and harms the country and the people."

Lu Chen let go of Xue Linglong and said with a smile: "You are a witch, shouldn't you bring disaster to the country and the people?"

Xue Linglong said: "The slave family really wants to bring disaster to the country and the people, but there are so many beautiful women in His Majesty's harem. If it wants to bring disaster to the country and the people, it will not be the slave family's turn."

Speaking of this, Xue Linglong asked: "When does Your Majesty plan to bring the princess and the others to the capital?"

Hearing this question, Lu Chen thought for a moment and then said: "I don't plan to bring them here for the time being. The capital is too backward. It will be difficult for them to get used to the life in the capital after they move here."

The current Beiwang Mansion in the North Kingdom has electricity, plus there are trains in the North Country and all kinds of new things. Mu Zixuan and the others have long been accustomed to life in the North Country.

It would be difficult for them to get used to a place where they have to use a toilet bucket to defecate and a bathtub to bathe.

Moreover, Lu Chen couldn't get used to staying here, and he had already had the idea of ​​moving the capital.

At this time, Lu Chen let go of Xue Linglong's soft body and slowly sat up from the bed, "You have a good rest, I will come back tonight."

As soon as these words came out, Xue Linglong's delicate body trembled again, and she said quickly: "Your Majesty, let's get even the rain and dew. I heard that Palace Master Chen will return to Xuanyue Palace in a while, so you'd better go there more during this time. There she is."

Lu Chen snorted coldly, and then said to Xue Linglong: "Last night you used puppets to use witchcraft on me, hoping to suffocate me to death. How could I just let you go like this!"

Hearing this, Xue Linglong's cheeks suddenly turned red, and she immediately said: "Your Majesty, does the slave family know any witchcraft skills? Moreover, the puppet was given to the slave family by Your Majesty. Since Your Majesty gave it to the slave family, the slave family uses a puppet. There’s nothing wrong with using it.”

Lu Chen said: "Witch, please stop telling me this. For the next seven days, you should wash yourself off and wait for me on the bed every night!"

this……

Xue Linglong suddenly felt a dull pain in her stomach.

This dog man has become more and more vicious since he became the emperor.

It's over, it's over, this slave girl will not really be played to death by this guy in the end.

If she wants to move the capital, she should move the capital quickly. If she returns to Yancheng as soon as possible, she can still breathe a sigh of relief.

As long as he returns to Yancheng, this guy's attention will no longer be on her.

Xue Linglong pretended to be pitiful and said, "The slave family knows."

Lu Chen chuckled, and then said: "It's useless for you to pretend to be pitiful. Unless you are pregnant with my child, I will definitely visit you often."

After hearing what Lu Chen said, Xue Linglong instantly understood Lu Chen's intention. This bitch just wanted to make her belly bigger.

Lu Chen didn't say anything more and stood up directly. Xue Linglong also stood up quickly, enduring the discomfort and helping Lu Chen get dressed.

After putting on his clothes, Lu Chen left Linglong Palace directly. Looking at Lu Chen's leaving figure, Xue Linglong quickly exercised his skills, chuckled, and said to himself: "If you want me to get tricked, just dream! "

While talking, Xue Linglong used Qigong to expel the impurities from her body.

Although Xue Linglong was willing to be a slave, she only enjoyed being tortured by Lu Chen. She did not want to give birth to children for Lu Chen, a breeding cow.

In the next few days, Lu Chen really came to Linglong Palace every day. Xue Linglong now felt confused every day, feeling that her body was no longer her own.

Later, Xue Linglong learned the lesson and ran to the palace where Chen Wanrong lived at night.

With Chen Wanrong's help, Xue Linglong finally escaped.

One month later.

Most matters in the capital have been dealt with.

Emperor Xia was also buried. Although Emperor Xia's body was gone, there was still an empty coffin.

After seeing off Emperor Xia, Lu Chen also officially ascended the throne, and Great Xia ushered in the new emperor's first government.

Xuanzheng Hall.

There was silence in the Xuanzheng Hall today, and Daxia officials were quietly waiting for Lu Chen's arrival.

Although Lu Chen had been very generous in the past month and did not liquidate them, it was only because Emperor Xia had not been buried yet.

Now that Emperor Xia has been buried in advance and Lu Chen has officially ascended the throne, it is hard to say whether he will liquidate some officials in the court.

At this moment, a woman's voice rang out from the main hall, "Your Majesty is here!"

Hearing the voice of a woman, the officials in the main hall were stunned for a moment. Women had never appeared in the court before. It was probably inappropriate for Lu Chen to bring a woman into the Xuanzheng Hall on his first day of court.

Soon, Lu Chen, who was wearing a golden dragon robe, slowly walked towards the dragon platform above the main hall.

Situ Ce immediately led the civil and military officials of the court to kneel down and said, "Long live my emperor!"

Lu Chen said calmly: "Pingshen!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Bai Qingqing said at this time: "If there is something to do, we will start, if there is nothing to do, we will retreat!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a minister from the Ministry of Rites finally couldn't help but stand up and said: "Your Majesty, there has never been a woman in the court since ancient times..."

Before the Minister of Rites could finish his words, Lu Chen interrupted and said, "I have decided to abolish the eunuch system from now on."

Hearing this, the Minister of Rites said quickly: "Your Majesty, you must not do it. If the eunuch system is abolished, what should we do if a traitor harms the harem?"

Lu Chen said: "When Taizu founded the Great Xia Dynasty, there were no eunuchs. Why didn't anyone cause trouble in the harem at that time?"

"Since ancient times, most of those who cause trouble in the harem are the imperial guards. Do I want to turn all those imperial guards into eunuchs?"

This...

Hearing Lu Chen's words, the ministers were stunned for a moment.

But soon some ministers thought that if there were no eunuchs and no eunuch party, wouldn't the new emperor naturally have less power around him? This is a good thing for the civil officials!

At this time, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue quickly stood up and said: "I agree with your majesty's decision. Artificially creating eunuchs is inherently harmful to the harmony of heaven."

After the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue finished speaking, Lin Gaoyuan also said: "I also agree with your majesty's decision. What eunuchs can do, women can also do it. There is really no need to create eunuchs anymore."

This is a martial arts world. Many women have practiced martial arts. Their physical fitness is very strong. Even the eunuchs in the palace are not necessarily better than those women who have practiced martial arts.

Moreover, it is not difficult to control women's menstruation in this world, so there are only women and male guards in the palace, and there is no need for eunuchs.

Lu Chen said at this time: "Okay, this matter has been decided. This is a small matter, so don't waste too much time on it."

This...

When the officials heard Lu Chen say that this was just a small matter, they were immediately upset. Abolishing the eunuch system that has existed since ancient times was just a small matter in Lu Chen's view. What is a big deal for him?

Lu Chen continued: "I plan to move the capital to Yancheng. What do you think, my dear ministers?"

As soon as these words came out, it was like a bomb, and the civil and military officials in the court were immediately blown up.

The new emperor actually planned to move the capital!

How can this be possible? Since Taizu, their capital has been here. How can they move the capital!

The civil and military officials in the court began to whisper to each other, and the whole hall was like a vegetable market.

At this time, Lin Gaoyuan stood up again, "I agree with your majesty's decision."

Hearing Lin Gaoyuan's words, people were stunned.

What? Lin Gaoyuan actually agreed with the new emperor to move the capital?

The Lin family has been in the capital for who knows how many generations. Doesn't he consider the situation of his own family?

What's wrong with Lin Gaoyuan?

Could it be that Lin Gaoyuan is afraid that Lu Chen will settle accounts with him, an old minister around the previous emperor, so he responded so actively to the new emperor's call to move the capital?

At this time, the Minister of Rites stood up and said: "Your Majesty, since Taizu, the capital has always been the capital. If the capital is moved, it is a great disrespect to the ancestors!"

For the royal family, the capital is the land of their ancestors. As a result, Lu Chen will abandon the land of his ancestors as soon as he ascends the throne. This is a great disrespect to the ancestors.

As soon as the Minister of Rites finished speaking, many stubborn conservatives stood up and opposed the relocation of the capital.

Lu Chen had long realized that there would be so many people opposing it. After the quarrel in the hall was almost over, Lu Chen said, "What I mean by moving the capital is not to move everything in the capital to Yancheng."

"I just plan to set up another capital in Yancheng and another court. If there are people who are willing to go to Yancheng with me, they can go to Yancheng with me. If they don't want to go to Yancheng, they can continue to stay in the capital."

Hearing this, the Minister of Revenue said, "Your Majesty, this may cause redundant officials."

Two sets of teams, two official positions, wouldn't the salaries of officials double?

Lu Chen said, "For me, the current number of officials is far from being redundant. In the future, I will need more ministers to manage my country for me."

Hearing Lu Chen's words, the civil and military officials in the court instantly thought of Lu Chen's ambition. If Lu Chen really planned to unify the world and destroy several dynasties, then the current number of officials would indeed not be able to meet Lu Chen's needs to govern the world.

Seeing that the officials in the court had fallen silent, Lu Chen said, "I will give you a month to think about it slowly. I will send a university scholar to the capital at that time. Those who are willing to follow me to the north will follow me to the north. Those who are unwilling to follow me to the north will stay in the capital to assist the university scholar in handling government affairs."

Hearing Lu Chen's words, the officials looked at each other for a while. There had never been such a thing as two courts before.

Two courts meant division. What if the officials who stayed in the capital had an idea and joined forces with a prince to cause division?

The new emperor was too bold! (End of this chapter)
