Chapter 743 The Dark Shadow Demon Breaks Into the Palace

"My Lord..."

Jiang Shang, who came up to him, was about to speak when Lu Fan interrupted him: "Let's talk at the Yangxin Palace."

After the voice fell, Lu Fan led a group of people to the Yangxin Palace.

After sitting down in the Yangxin Palace, Jiang Shang said directly without waiting for Lu Fan to ask:

"My Lord, yesterday two groups of people wanted to force their way into the palace, saying that they wanted to see you, but we stopped them..."

As Jiang Shang told the story, Lu Fan's brows suddenly frowned.

It turned out that two groups of people wanted to enter the palace yesterday, but were stopped by the guards at the city gate.

Then the two groups wanted to attack the guards, but were suppressed and arrested by the elite Tiger and Leopard Camp who were patrolling secretly.

After being arrested, the two groups were still arrogant and said that they would make the new Emperor Qian pay a price.

Jiang Shang guessed that the two groups of people should have some origins, so he personally went to interrogate the two groups of people.

After the interrogation, it was learned that the two groups of people came from Shadow and Black Magic.

The purpose of these two groups coming to Daqian was very simple, that is, to make Daqian continue to supply resources, and the resources supplied were three times more than before.

Because Shadow and Black Magic were originally Daqian's secret support for resource cultivation, so the supply of resources has never been interrupted.

Even though the previous Emperor Qian was very unhappy with these two forces, he still provided some resources on time every year.

Now it is time to need resources again, but Daqian did not arrange people to deliver them in time as usual.

So the two major forces of Shadow and Black Magic each sent people to come to the imperial capital to ask for them.

Moreover, the two groups of people also shouted that if they did not provide resources according to their requirements, they would give up protecting Daqian and let Daqian fend for itself.

When Jiang Shang finished telling the story in great detail, Lu Fan's face was already extremely gloomy, like ten thousand years of ice.

He did not expect that Shadow and Black Magic would be so arrogant.

They grew up by consuming Daqian's resources. It would be fine if they didn't protect Daqian, but they turned around and threatened Daqian.

This made Lu Fan's suppressed anger and murderous intent burst out instantly.

Before, he was thinking that after the matter of the imperial capital was resolved, he would go to meet these two major forces to see if they knew what was good for them.

But now it seems that there is no need to test them, they have already given the answer.

After these thoughts flashed through his mind, Lu Fan took a deep breath, looked at Qin Qiong and Luo Cheng and said in a deep voice:

"Shubao, Gongran, you go and bring them here."

"Yes!"

Then Qin Qiong and Luo Cheng left the Yangxin Palace and went straight to the small Tianlao in the palace.

The Tianlao is located in the Ministry of Justice, and the Xiao Tianlao is located in the palace, which is specially used to detain some important prisoners or royal relatives and nobles who have made mistakes.

After Qin Qiong and Luo Cheng left, Lu Fan asked Jiang Shang about other things, and Jiang Shang also reported in detail.

In just two or three days, all the civil officials and generals of the imperial capital and the members of the six ministries were almost controlled layer by layer.

According to Lu Fan, the members of each layer used the castrated version of the primary soul control technique to control the people below.

Especially the Shadow Guard controlled by Jing Yi and the Xuanwu Guard led by Shen Tang, they are the top priority.

In the past few days, Jing Yi and Shen Tang were very busy and finally completed the task.

Of course, many members of the Shadow Guard were performing tasks in various places and have not been controlled.

However, Jing Yi has issued an order for the members who have been controlled to replace those who have not been controlled.

All members of the Shadow Guard can be controlled within half a year.

The Xuanwu Guard itself is in the imperial capital. With the full support of Shen Tang, the control work has been completed.

In addition, each legion has also begun to implement control measures.

Of course, the control is only for the managers from top to bottom, such as the captains of ten thousand men, the captains of thousands of men, the centurions and the like.

As for the ordinary members, they are free, or they are not qualified to be controlled.

After all, as long as the managers are controlled, the ordinary members below can't make any waves even if they want to make trouble.

After all, those who can become managers are those with strong cultivation, and those with weaker cultivation are not qualified to become managers at all.

There may be some omissions, but those guys who are omitted are not to be feared.

In addition to these things, Jiang Shang placed Fei Yi and Wang Hun, who were transferred to the imperial capital, in the Ministry of Households and the Ministry of Personnel respectively.

Fei Yi and Wang Hun are still very capable.

It's just that the two have just entered the court, and rashly entrusting them with important tasks will cause jealousy and dissatisfaction from others.

After all, he and Li Si only entered the Shangshu Province temporarily, and did not directly serve as the left and right prime ministers.

Instead, they followed the current left and right prime ministers for comprehensive learning. They said they were learning, but in fact they were familiar with various affairs.

Although Lu Fan directly asked them to serve as the left and right prime ministers, Jiang Shang and Li Si still dissuaded Lu Fan.

Because they are not very familiar with various things in the Daqian court, rashly taking over the positions of left and right prime ministers will definitely cause some disturbances.

If it was before, it would be fine.

Now all the civil and military officials are controlled and have become real people.

Since they are their own people, they must pay attention to fairness and justice, and they can't let them think that Lu Fan is nepotism and doesn't care whether they have talents or not.

Lu Fan might not care about these, but as subjects, they must consider these for Lu Fan.

That's why they took the initiative to ask to follow the current left and right prime ministers in the Shangshu Province to get familiar with them.

After they are thoroughly familiar with all affairs, they can slowly make some achievements, and then legitimately take over the positions of left and right prime ministers.

In this way, no one can say anything.

This is also true for Fei Yi and Wang Hun. Although they were assigned to the two most important departments, the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Personnel.

However, they did not have fixed positions, and they still focused on learning and familiarizing themselves with the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Personnel, paving the way for the future management of these two departments.

As for the other four departments, they have not moved yet.

After all, there are only four of them under Lu Fan's command, and no one else can be arranged.

What's more, now that the people in the four departments are under control, they are all considered their own people, and there is no need to make any adjustments for the time being.

In addition, Shen Wansan has now returned to the imperial capital.

Since this guy founded the Beiqian Chamber of Commerce under Lu Fan's arrangement, he has been busy.

In just six months, Shen Wansan expanded the Beiqian Chamber of Commerce to the entire Daqian.

In the county towns of the 72 counties of Daqian, branches of the Beiqian Chamber of Commerce were established.

At the same time, it also annexed large and small chambers of commerce and acquired many industries.

Today, the Beiqian Chamber of Commerce is the number one chamber of commerce in Daqian, and it has countless resources.

Originally, Jiang Shang and Li Si wanted Shen Wansan to enter the Ministry of Revenue.

After all, even the two of them admired Shen Wansan's ability to earn money and resources.

It would be best if Shen Wansan was in charge of the money bag of the Ministry of Revenue.

But their proposal was rejected by Shen Wansan. This guy didn't want to enter the court at all, and just wanted to expand Beiqian Chamber of Commerce.

Originally, Shen Wansan wanted to meet Lu Fan.

But Lu Fan led people to the western border. Shen Wansan couldn't wait for two days, so he led his troops to kill the Tianwu Dynasty and the Dongyuan Dynasty.

According to him, he wanted to make Beiqian Chamber of Commerce the largest chamber of commerce in the entire Dongsheng Shenzhou.

Listening to Jiang Shang's report, Lu Fan couldn't help laughing...
