The Eastern Palace!
Wang Xiong and a group of officials watched the embers of Tianlang camp waiting for the wolf.
Next to Wang Xiong stood Wang Tiance, Wang Zhongquan and a group of Wang family children.
Ember led the pack of wolves and stood respectfully in front of Wang Xiong.
"Ember, are you clear about this king's order?" Wang Xiong stared at Ember and asked.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, we will search all the mountains in the Eastern Fiefdom and catch these bandits!" Yi Jin said solemnly.
"Arrest? No need, just bring the head!" Wang Xiong said lightly.
"Yes!" Yi Yan responded.
"My lord, can they do it? How about I lead some soldiers to wipe out these nine bandits?" Wang Tiance said.
"Yes, Your Majesty, bandits have appeared in several places, and people have been burned and killed in some places. These wild wolves..., is this Tianlang camp okay?" Another official said.
"Your Majesty, would it be better for Marquis Tiance to suppress the bandits? Let's cooperate with Marquis Tiance! After all, Marquis Tiance is more professional in leading troops, and the Tianlang camp is just a group...!" another official advised.
"Your Majesty, don't be careless when dealing with Captain Pang. Don't let him have a chance to breathe!"
… … … …
… … …
…
Wang Xiong narrowed his eyes and looked at the officials.
During this period of time, you have dealt with Taiwei Pang by yourself. There have been so many victories that have made you forget about it? I thought it was all your fault for forcing Taiwei Pang earlier.
Look down on the Sirius Camp? Just a bunch of beasts? Or do you think that this credit should be shared by you and should not be given to a group of beasts
Wang Xiong remained calm and did not follow the words of the officials.
"Okay, you guys will cooperate with Yu Yan and there will be no objections!" Wang Xiong said coldly.
"Yes!" The officials nodded with regret.
In addition to being regretful, it's even more of a pity.
On the side, Yi Yan lowered his head, and a hint of ferocity flashed across his face. Ember's wisdom is no worse than that of others, even smarter than ordinary people. How could we not hear the rejection from these officials
The officials had a condescending attitude and looked down upon themselves.
Disdain yourself? Huh, how dare a bunch of useless trash with weak cultivation level despise themselves
However, Yi Jin understands his situation and cannot deter the officials without some achievements. Moreover, it is obvious that the prince takes himself very seriously. Against all odds, he allowed himself to suppress the bandits.
Yi Yan raised his head and saw Wang Xiong's gaze. There seemed to be a trace of expectation in Wang Xiong's eyes, as if he was saying: "Yi Yan, don't let me down!"
"Your Highness, Yi Yan will definitely fight to the death to suppress the bandits. He will never come back until he kills all the bandits!" Yi Yan said with great determination.
As if responding to Wang Xiong's expectations.
"Go ahead, follow the map that appears!" Wang Xiong ordered.
"Yes!" Yi Yan shouted.
Stepping forward, Yi Yan led the pack of wolves out of the Dongfang Palace. Along the way, Yi Yan had a ruthless look on his face. This time, he must destroy the bandits as quickly as possible. To repay the prince's attention.
All the officials still felt a little regretful as they watched the Tianlang Camp leave. However, despite the prince's objections, no one dared to say anything more.
"Okay, the Tianlang Battalion has already taken action. You should also start publicizing it in the Sifang City. Tell the people everything. Captain Pang will withdraw his troops. I will order the bandits to be suppressed. At the same time, a notice will be posted. Anyone who finds any trace of the bandits and bandits will be punished. Big reward!" Wang Xiong said solemnly.
"Yes!" All the officials responded.
After receiving the order, the officials, led by Wang Tiance, quickly went to make arrangements.
At the entrance of the main hall, only Wang Zhongquan was left standing beside Wang Xiong.
"Your Majesty, most of these officials are descendants of the Wang family. Several victories have made them a little forgetful!" Wang Zhongquan said with an ugly expression.
"Yes!" Wang Xiong narrowed his eyes and nodded.
There are indeed many things that cannot be sorted out when participating in politics with the children of the family.
This is a court meeting between the monarch and his ministers, but in the eyes of some people, it is regarded as a family matter. Court meetings and family discussions? But they are different things, and the seriousness between the two is not at the same level at all.
However, these children of the Wang family continue to blur these seriousnesses.
"These officials did not bow to Captain Pang in the past. Their loyalty may only be to the Wang family and their own rights. Not to the prince himself!" Wang Zhongquan said with narrowed eyes.
Wang Xiong smiled slightly: "I know!"
It was just that now that he had to deal with Taiwei Pang, Wang Xiong didn't put everything in front of him.
Wang Zhongquan looked at Wang Xiong and finally nodded: "Old slave, you talk too much!"
Wang Zhongquan knew that Wang Xiong was powerful. He had already shown such a method to deal with Taiwei Pang, but he still couldn't deal with this group of arrogant officials
----------
Daqin, the capital of the gods, go to the study!
While reviewing the memorial, the Human Emperor listened to the reports from several important ministers outside the curtain.
"I originally thought that Wang Xiong and Taiwei Pang would fight from city to city, but I didn't expect that Wang Xiong was so ambitious that he would expand the battle line to all cities and fight in an all-out battle, and actually force Taiwei Pang to death. We are at a loss!" Zhang Zhengdao sighed.
"Yes, tax exemption for one year, sealing Taiwei Pang's money bag, promotion of titles and promotions, this is even more severed from Taiwei Pang's hands and feet! Both moves are extremely clever. In comparison, Taiwei Pang's Two moves, but I lost!"
"Not only did he fall into the lower ranks, this clearly gave Wang Xiong the support of the people! In his first step, Taiwei Pang used people's livelihood to embarrass Wang Xiong. Wang Xiong's next step was to have more luck. Now, he is harassing Wang Xiong with thieves and bandits. ? Once Wang Xiong’s people publicize it, wouldn’t it be a good opportunity to praise Wang Xiong?”
"I also feel that Wang Xiong was more than one step ahead of Captain Pang in the two battles between Wang Xiong and Taiwei Pang!"
… … … …
… … …
…
Several important ministers were sighing.
"Prime Minister, what do you think?" The Human Emperor paused slightly with the brush in his hand and asked calmly.
"I feel that the Dongfang Prince's Palace actually has quite a problem!" the Prime Minister of Qin said calmly.
"Is this a big problem?" Zhang Zhengdao asked in confusion.
"Wang Xiong's group of officials are all descendants of the Wang family! It doesn't matter that they are all descendants of the Wang family. The key is that these descendants of the Wang family are too self-righteous, do not know how to advance or retreat, and do not know their dignity. Sooner or later something will happen!" Prime Minister Da Qin said calmly.
"Sooner or later something will happen? Haha, not necessarily. This kid Wang Xiong is very slippery. He should be able to solve these difficulties soon!" the Human Emperor said calmly.
All the officials were slightly startled, but no one expected that the Human Emperor would speak so highly of Wang Xiong.
----------
East Heart City.
"Dang Dang Dang...!"
A series of gongs sounded in the city. Countless people looked over curiously and saw guards dragging corpses through the streets in bullock carts.
"Good news, good news, Dongfang Prince's Palace, Tianlang Camp, encircled and suppressed the bandits who harassed the people, and killed 800 bandits in the Qianshan Valley. Come and see if there are any enemies!"
The person who beats the gong was naturally arranged by Dongfang Wangfu. At one time, eight hundred corpses were paraded through the streets, praising the majesty of the Eastern Palace.
Nowadays, Wang Xiong and Taiwei Pang are engaged in political games. How could such a great achievement not be shown to the public this time
"Yes, it's that bandit. I saw him last time when he came to the outskirts of the city to burn and kill!"
"Evil thief, you are here too. You killed my wife and children, and now the prince has avenged us!"
"Kill them!"
"They're dead!"
"Kill them again!"
… … … …
… … …
…
After the people recognized the corpse of the bandit, they immediately threw rotten eggs and stones at the corpse of the bandit.
Countless people were excited.
"A few days ago, when Captain Pang withdrew his troops, I was still scared. I didn't expect that the palace would wipe out the thieves in the blink of an eye!"
"Bullshit Captain Pang, when did you suppress more than 200 bandits before? Look at the palace, you killed 800 people in one go!"
"The prince said he wanted to destroy all thieves and asked us to report them. The prince really has our best interests at heart!"
"Yes, the prince manages our river and helps us kill thieves. The prince is such a good person!"
"Who said that the prince is incompetent before? From now on, if you let me hear it again, I want him to look good!"
… … … … …
… … …
…
The corpses of thieves are constantly being displayed to the public, harvesting batch after batch of luck.
The wolves led by Ember worked hard to win over Wang Xiong. Killing all the way, chasing bandits in all directions.
His fighting power also made Wang Tiance and others look surprised. You know, to kill so many bandits in this short period of time, not even Wang Tiance can do it with his army.
That's in the mountains and forests.
From the major cities in the Eastern Fiefdom, good news continued to arrive.
It was good news for the people, but bad news for Taiwei Pang. In the Taiwei Mansion in Dongxin City, Taiwei Pang broke countless tea bowls.
Not only were the bandits wiped out, but there were also the sequelae caused by the promotion of titles and official positions.
As Wang Xiong's reputation continued to soar, some officials of Taiwei Pang's faction who were still hesitating continued to surrender to the Dongfang Palace. As a result, there were more and more internal fights among officials of Taiwei Pang's faction. As a result, Taiwei Pang was tortured by the infighting among his subordinates every day.
"Wang Xiong, Wang Xiong, you are going too far!" Pang Taiwei broke a tea bowl again.
"Lieutenant, there is no way to go on like this. Then Wang Xiong is about to succeed!" A staff member said with a bitter look on his face.
"Then what should we do?" Taiwei Pang asked with an ugly face.
Taiwei Pang also didn't expect that the trouble he caused for Wang Xiong would not only make Wang Xiong miserable, but on the contrary, it would also gain Wang Xiong a lot of fame.
"I didn't expect that group of green wolves to become so powerful! Wang Xiong has not only gained fame, but now that he has such a Wuzong realm army, it is becoming more and more troublesome." Another staff member said with a bitter smile.
"I ask you, what should I do?" Pang Taiwei said angrily.
Several staff members looked at each other, all with ugly expressions. Finally, one staff member had a cold look in his eyes and made a gesture of wiping his neck with a knife.
"Buzz!"
Taiwei Pang's pupils shrank.
Captain Pang knew what the staff meant. To assassinate Wang Xiong
Wang Xiong is dead and everything is over
"Lieutenant, this is the fastest way!" the staff member said bitterly.
If it was possible not to kill Wang Xiong, then the staff would not think of this method. After all, the risk was too great. It was not that Wang Xiong could not be killed, but that he was worried about the court's blame.
Taiwei Pang's eyelids twitched wildly and he took a deep breath: "Let me think about it!"
---------------
The Eastern Palace. In a large hall.
"My lord, great news. Thanks to our propaganda, the people now know everything. They all know that Captain Pang is ambitious, and they all know that I, Prince Dongfang, are their biggest support!"
"Yes, batches of bandit corpses are being paraded through the city. Who wouldn't applaud them now?"
"Your Majesty, I have received letters from various places. Many officials from Pang Taiwei's faction are willing to surrender!"
"Your Majesty, our propaganda has worked! How dare you, please give me credit!"
… … … … …
… … …
…
All the officials shouted excitedly.
The officials kept counting their own achievements, perhaps complimenting each other, but they did not mention a word about the achievements of the Tianlang Camp in Ember.
Wang Xiong looked at the officials and smiled slightly, but he could see clearly in his heart. Ember's credit is not as good as yours? hehe! What you do is all arranged by me. You just complete the task normally. Anyone can do it. But, who else could have done what happened at the Sirius Camp? Do you know how hard Yan Yan has been working hard during this period? Not a word was mentioned about Ember's contribution.
"I know it!" Wang Xiong said calmly.
"Your Majesty, I don't think Captain Pang can support him for long!" Wang Tiance said with a smile.
"A skinny camel is bigger than a horse, don't take it lightly!" Wang Xiong said calmly.
"Yes!" everyone responded.
However, some people did not take it seriously. The continuous victories made them forget about it.
"Those who have surrendered are all those who have been promoted. Among those who have been demoted, are there any who have surrendered?" Wang Xiong said calmly.
"Ah? Them? That's not the case!" Wang Tiance shook his head.
"No? It means that there are still a large number of people under Lieutenant Pang who can be used. Are these people really stubborn? It doesn't matter. I will just see how bold they are to continue to oppose the Dongfang Palace!" Wang Xiong's eyes widened. Squint.
"My lord, what else can you do?" Wang Tiance's eyes lit up.
"It's time. The first step is to be tax-free for one year! The second step is to be promoted to a noble title and an official position! The third step is to widen the scope of Enke!" Wang Xiong narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Guangkai Enke? My lord, do you want to take the national examination? Restore the imperial examination system that the old prince had back then?" Wang Tiance raised his eyebrows.
Imperial examination? All the officials also raised their brows. This is to select officials among the people!
"Yes, Captain Pang's downfall is imminent, and those stubborn officials will soon be eliminated. It's time to hold the imperial examination, recruit talents, and fill the vacancies of stubborn officials!" Wang Xiong said lightly.
"Ah? Fill the positions of their officials? Your Majesty, we have many officials who have not been promoted yet!" an official said immediately.
The official positions under Lieutenant Pang have actually been targeted by the officials here for a long time. Even if he doesn't fill those positions, the people he has nepotism with can also fill them.
We are descendants of the royal family, but none of our servants have official positions. Aren't those positions reserved for our own people
The officials immediately looked at Wang Xiong eagerly.
Wang Xiong glanced at the officials calmly: "Opening Enke wide is to put pressure on the officials under Pang Taiwei. It will intensify their internal conflicts!"
"Ah?" The officials were slightly startled.
"Your Majesty, are you opening Enke to scare them? To make them get into trouble?" Wang Tiance's eyes lit up.
"Yes, perhaps some of those officials will be frightened into surrendering soon. This will hasten the demise of Taiwei Pang!" Wang Xiong said in a deep voice.
"That's it!" The officials suddenly laughed.
Another ploy? In order to attack Taiwei Pang. Indeed, the most important thing now is to kick Taiwei Pang away. The Eastern fiefdom is the fiefdom of my Wang family. It's not an outsider's turn to intervene.
When Wang Xiong said this, everyone agreed. As for the talents who will come out of the imperial examination at that time. Everyone thought about it, there were so many vacant positions, it didn't matter if we divided most of them among our own group and left a small part for the rookies in the imperial examination. The most important thing is to force Taiwei Pang away as quickly as possible.
"Your Majesty, can anyone take the scientific examination?" an official asked expectantly.
Wang Xiong glanced at the official and obviously guessed his plan: "It's not impossible for your relatives to take the scientific examination, but no cheating is allowed! This time, the pressure on Taiwei Pang cannot be compromised, and Taiwei Pang must not be exposed to any mistakes. The lieutenant has caught a clue. It must be done beautifully. Besides, what if you fail to pass the exam? For the children of the Wang family and your relatives, wouldn’t it be necessary for me to take the imperial exam if there is no such thing?"
"Hahaha, yes, yes, there will definitely be no fraud, don't worry, Your Majesty!" The officials suddenly laughed.
The prince has made it so clear, why should he join in the effort? Anyway, they can all become officials. The imperial examination is just to confuse Taiwei Pang and others. He should not ruin the prince's important affairs. Anyway, people in his own family and mother-in-law's family can arrange officials themselves.
All the officials immediately took the order excitedly and prepared to publicize Guangkai Enke.
After all the officials left, Wang Xiong looked at the departing figures of the officials and showed a sneer.
Guangkai Enke is not just an official filling Taiwei Pang's faction. It’s also time to sort you out.
