The female palace official recorded the first record of His Majesty’s favor for his concubine since he took office: “On January 17, the second year of the Yuan Dynasty, the emperor’s temporary secretary took the female official Hariqina to stay overnight in the room, and left the court the next day. .”
In fact, Wu Feng didn't want to get up. Haliqina's tenacious resistance made him happy and happy. Although Haliqina was as limp as mud, Wufeng's dream came true.
Wu Feng rarely stayed in the same place overnight, but this time he seemed to be making an exception. He only had two or three hours to fall asleep with Haliqina in his arms. His long-term living habits also made him get up early. He saw that Haliqina was because the indoor temperature was too high. Tall and somewhat inelegant, half of his breasts and one thigh were exposed. Wufeng couldn't help but show gentleness with his hands and eyes like an ordinary disciple before he gritted his teeth and got up on his own. The white silk hanging on the bedside of the bed is dotted with scars. This is the custom of the people in the Western Regions. Women need to show their chastity to their husbands in this way on their wedding night to prove the purity of their bodies. It seems haha Lichena is not immune.
Reluctantly, he withdrew his hand from Haliqina's body. Wu Feng felt that his whole body was filled with the power of youthful words. Wu Feng knew that this was not because Haliqina had special powers, and he did not move towards Wu Tai. The so-called pure yin inner energy of a virgin has any special benefits for his three yang true energy, but it is the feeling of conquering such a girl who has always been brooding about him and letting her crawl under him in submission. This feeling makes Wu Feng again. I regained an inexplicable sense of pleasure that even Merry's return had never allowed me to experience again. Maybe people won’t pay too much attention to things that come too easily.
There are also many things going on today. The newly appointed and transferred governors and the city guards of some important prefectures and counties are still arriving in Beijing one after another. The new year will begin after the Spring Festival, and the empire will also open a new chapter. Page, 701 may have been relatively peaceful for the mainland. But it is a crucial year for the empire. After successive wars, the army needs to be reorganized. Streamlining and reorganization will be the main square throughout the entire imperial army. The navy still needs to develop half a step at a time. Compared with the maritime powers of the Western Continent, the empire's navy is still like an immature teenager, and it still needs to work hard. The work of the Government Affairs Council will be the busiest year. Compared with the 700 years of stabilization, rationalization, and construction, the policy for this year is to develop, develop, and develop. There is no other superfluous thing. I believe that the people in the Government Affairs Council should know what they have to shoulder. on the task.
If the development is to be on track, the selection and arrangement of these governors and city guards is the most important link, and now the selection of governors in this link is basically in place. Except for some particularly important prefectures and counties, the rest of the city defense issues are matters for the Government Council to resolve on their own. What Wu Feng needs to do now is talk to these dominating feudal officials. For them, this is It can be regarded as a debriefing before taking office, explaining one's governance philosophy and ideas to His Majesty the Emperor.
Therefore, Wu Feng had to pull away from Hariqina's wonderful body with difficulty and make a move for Jun Yi. It is difficult for a wise king. This is probably a painful choice that every emperor has to face.
Pauling was the first to arrive in the imperial capital. He was one of the first governors to be appointed. While accepting congratulations from everyone and selecting his staff, he was also thinking about how to integrate himself after assuming the position of governor of China and India. All forces in this area established a new administrative region that was stable and loyal to the empire. At present, economic development should not be the top priority of Central India. How to gradually eliminate the influence of the original complex and chaotic tribes so that they can gradually adapt to the new imperial regiment management system is the top priority. The reason why His Majesty the Emperor put himself Putting him in the position of the governor of Xinna, which was built by multiple tribes, he probably had this intention. In addition to testing his own abilities, Bai Jiquan should be able to knead the loose sand together. Pauling also needs to make it clear to His Majesty the Emperor that the candidates for the city guards of several prefectures must have strong officials.
With Pauling's arrival in Beijing, the appointed governor-general Wu Zhi and the coastal governor-general Liu Fujie also arrived in the imperial capital. The arrival of the three big guys from the Indian region immediately caused a commotion in the officialdom of the imperial capital. The Indian region was like a golden cornucopia for the imperial group, enough to make everyone salivate, surrounding the Indian The competition for the governorships of several major governors in the region once caused considerable turmoil in both the government and the opposition in the imperial capital. If His Majesty the Emperor had not decisively selected the candidates for these three governors, the competition would have become even more intense. But even so, there are still many people who suspect that Wu Zhi's appointment as the governor of Panzhe was due to the background of the imperial concubine Lin Yuexin. From guarding the Qin capital to the governor of Lemena, he was promoted from the governor of Myanmar to the wealthy governor of Panzhe. In between The process was a bit too smooth. Senior officials like Zhou Tinggui have never received such an honor. This will inevitably lead to many associations.
The Imperial General Chamber of Commerce first hosted a banquet for the three governor-elects-elect, and then the banquets for the wealthy families and business forces. The Imperial Oversight Council did not interfere too much in such a scene, but everyone knew that the Imperial Oversight Council The hospital's eyes and ears are always on top of every move, and no one cares about you when you are in a state of affairs, but when it comes to power, money and interests, you have to be cautious.
Pauling didn't like this kind of banquet very much. He preferred the kind of conversation without dogs, and in this situation, you have to pay attention to the proportion of the conversation. The only recipients of the banquet given by Wu Feng were Xiao Tang and Bao Lin, and the person accompanying them was the Imperial Concubine Anne, which also surprised Xiao Tang and Bao Lin. Angel is many months pregnant and has not seen foreign ministers for a long time. Imperial Concubine Lin Yuexin is still in the lactation period and does not see many guests. Most of the usual etiquette reception matters are handled by Imperial Concubine Situ Yutang. Imperial Concubine Anne attends such occasions. There is not much time, does this mean something
Almost every detail in royal affairs will have some special meaning. Xiao Tang, as the Prime Minister of the Imperial Council, knows this. The imperial concubine Situ Yutang’s selection of Governor Meili a few days ago seems to be in conflict with the family and financial aristocrats in the imperial capital. We are somewhat close. Xiao Tang felt at that time that this would cause dissatisfaction with His Majesty the Emperor, but His Majesty did not seem to have an attack. But now it seems that His Majesty took this attitude to deal with it coldly. Everyone knows that this kind of thing is called a foreign minister. What is meant by giving a banquet, especially when summoning a local feudal official-designate? It is a display, an important indicator of the closeness of the women around His Majesty the Emperor.
What position Princess Anne occupies in His Majesty's heart has always been a mystery in the hearts of foreign ministers. This imperial concubine seems to rarely participate in court affairs, unlike several other imperial concubines and His Majesty. She more or less has some background. Except for the matters involving Jerok that she occasionally cares about, her voice is basically unheard. But today it appeared on such an occasion, which would inevitably arouse Xiao Tang's doubts. Instability in the harem would also lead to turmoil in the government and the public. This has been proved by countless historical facts. Xiao Tang did not want His Majesty the Emperor to even This phenomenon occurs when there are no male heirs.
"Pauling, in a word, you should be better at combining suppression and coaxing. You should be better at this than me. Following Cui Wenxiu's meeting, I guess you should be proficient in dancing." Wu Feng was in a rare high mood and started Jokingly: "Although there are many forces involved in the Central and Indian Deanna, they are unable to stir up big troubles because of the imperial army. What you need to consider is how to weaken the influence of these local powerful tribes and make them realize that all power comes from From the administrative agencies, from the empire, the law is the same, no one is exception, and no one has privileges. Let ordinary people realize this. All education work is also very heavy. You have to think carefully about it. "How to operate"
"Paulin has taken note of what His Majesty said. It is estimated that Kunduz and Rosey will be more difficult, while the situation of Milo and Pemei should be better. After all, the Mish people have spent more time dealing with us, and their upper-level officials have already Those who understand how the empire's power operates will be able to adapt much faster. They know that all power comes from the economic foundation. Without an economic foundation, everything will be lost. Therefore, they know how to exchange political privileges for economic benefits, which is also in the interest of the empire. The empire will use this method to cultivate a large number of classes who are loyal to the empire and dependent on the empire and cannot survive alone without the empire, so that they can become rubber stamps in our hands."
Pauling's words obviously suited Wu Feng's heart, and Wu Feng smiled and nodded, "Annie, what do you think of the Governor of China and India that I have chosen? He is better than his master, and he has followed Wen Xiu all these years." Years."
"I have heard about Lord Pauling's reputation in the palace. The rapid calm of the Indian region is inseparable from Lord Pauling's painstaking efforts. I also heard that many courtiers in the palace are working for Pauling." Your Excellency is aggrieved and believes that the conditions in Central India are quite inferior to those in Coastal and North India, and even in South India and Panyi. Sir Pauling is so talented that he only served as the Governor of Central India. I have also been worried about whether Lord Yin Lin would have other ideas, and when I see you today, it seems that I am worrying too much on behalf of Your Majesty."
"Lord Pauling is indeed an old man who follows His Majesty. The situation in China and India is complicated and involves many interest groups. His Majesty hopes that Sir Pauling can set an example and open up the situation in the entire Indian region. I also think that this region It can better demonstrate Lord Pauling's talents. If it is in those areas with superior conditions, calm situation, and developed economy, His Majesty has many people who can do the job. It is precisely these areas with complicated conditions that need people who can relieve His Majesty's worries to shoulder the heavy responsibility. I don’t know how to drink, but I would like to toast Lord Pauling here today, and wish Lord Pauling can quickly open up the situation in Central India and strive for your majesty."
