The System Forces Me to Be the Emperor

Hai Yuntian's heart is undergoing a fierce struggle.

The Hai family has been loyal for generations, and is willing to serve the country to the death and defend the city with blood, so he should let Haitian burn the potatoes and corn that Da Xia sent, so that Da Xia's plot cannot succeed, and he should not confuse people's hearts.

but...

He Hai Yuntian has never been foolish and loyal.

Willing to defend the city and die in battle is a loyalty to the country, but if the new crops are burned, the people in the city will be dragged down together. What's more, Qi is in a state where it is impossible to save, so he is not willing to drag it down. The people are at a dead end.

The common people should have the right to choose and know, and it is their loyalty to the common people to bring out these new crops.

That's why Hai Yuntian hesitated.

After a long time, Hai Yuntian sighed, and said: "Make new crops into food and distribute them to refugees. Although it's a drop in the bucket, it's better than no one!"

"Father, don't do it! This is an enemy conspiracy! This will make the people in the city more fluctuating." Haitian was shocked.

Hai Yuntian asked back: "Of course my father knows, but it's more important to let the people know the truth. This is to help them, not to harm them!"

Haitian was startled, then sighed, and left.

At noon, potatoes and sweet potatoes were cooked and corn was made into tortillas, which were distributed among the refugees. The amount of ten carriages is not much. Although the amount distributed to the refugees is very small, some are only two potatoes or one sweet potato, but they cannot satisfy so many refugees. Porridge.

Refugees ate potatoes, sweet potatoes and corn for the first time. Maybe it was just a single sweet potato, but it was better than light porridge with less water to satisfy their hunger.

Children and women with small appetites felt full after eating two potatoes, and then couldn't help crying, feeling full just right.

This can make those refugees who are not late, watching helplessly, jealous and envious, and ask the people who have eaten what it tastes like.

Someone said:

"Sweet, like honey!"

"So soft and waxy, so comfortable!"

"Big Xia people are so lucky to have such delicious food!"

"They can eat enough, why can't we?"

 …

It is certain that people's hearts will fluctuate, and this is the conspiracy of Champion Hou.

No matter how good the lure of Daxia is, it is not as good as a few potatoes at this time. A few sweet potatoes are more effective. The champion Hou knew Hai Yuntian's character from Prince He, so he firmly believed that he knew it was a conspiracy and would fall for it.

Because some officials really care about the people.

On the seventh day of the siege of Daxia soldiers and horses, Champion Hou finally started to attack the city. Now we need to tell them that it's not that Daxia is incapable of attacking by force, but he just doesn't want to attack by force, because many people will die on both sides!

But if you are stubborn, then the only way is to attack by force!

So this siege is equivalent to making a sample!

The large crossbow bed began to shoot crossbow bolts, and a crossbow bolt like a spear was fired. The soldiers of Qi State were so scared that they could only hide behind the wall, protect themselves with shields, and shrink back, not daring to show their faces.

What is even more frightening is the trebuchet. The hinge-designed trebuchet guarantees speed and power. Huge stone balls smashed over and hit the tower, which directly formed a big hole. Shooting, attacking indiscriminately from all directions, the sourness can be imagined.

In order to take down the city, Champion Hou took out all the crossbow beds and trebuchets, pressed them all up, and attacked vigorously. After half an hour, the south gate was in a mess.

After some attack, Li Cunxiao slapped his horse forward and shouted loudly: "I give you three days, if you don't abandon the city and surrender, don't blame Da Xia for being ruthless!"

After the sample is finished, the next step is to look at the performance in the city.

And this attack, as expected, the city was full of panic, all deterred by the power of the gunpowder and the strength of the crossbow arrows of Daxia.

At the same time, the sound of surrender became louder and louder, spreading throughout the city.

 …

The situation in Qi State was sent back to Kyoto through Grifalon every day. Although it was lagging behind when it flew to Kyoto, it was considered first-hand information.

Xiao Rui didn't pay much attention to the battle situation of Qi State. He mainly felt relieved of the champion Hou and Li Cunxiao. Now that the imperial city of Qi State has been surrounded, and sufficient military rations and winter clothes have been sent there. Even God Bless Qi State, When the blizzard falls, the soldiers of the Great Xia will not worry about food and clothing.

The demise of Qi State is a foregone conclusion, but it will be tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.

During this time, Xiao Rui was not idle.

While handling government affairs, he conceived how to reform local administration.

As Daxia's territory increased, after taking Qi, the country's land area would double, and it would be impossible not to change the previous local administrative system.

You must know that there are too many states in Daxia, and many states are relatively small. There are only two or three prefectures, but they have to be set up as one state, which is a waste of manpower and resources. The reason for this is naturally related to the beginning of the founding of Daxia, but Now is the time for change, to clean up the bloated local administration.

According to Xiao Rui's plan, the mainland will be integrated into thirty-two states, plus a capital city. There are fourteen prefectures in Anxi and fourteen prefectures in Qidi. In this way, the number of prefectures has decreased and the area under management has increased. This has reduced the overblown state-level government offices, facilitated the integration of regional governance, overall planning, and the control of the imperial court.

The number of states has been simplified, and the local administrative division of "state capitals and counties" is still followed, and provinces will not be designed on the state level. Because the state is equal to the province, the Anxi Province is only a special institution in the transitional period and will have to be abolished in the future. As for the Protectorate, there is no need to abolish it, but the role and authority of the Protectorate will be reduced in the future, and it will not be in charge of a province like it is now. Moreover, it has to be set up carefully to avoid the bad phenomenon of the Duhu Mansion supporting soldiers and self-respect in the late Tang Dynasty.

Once the local administration is divided, it will not only affect the governor's office, but also the local commanders and envoys. The current military system is similar to the garrison system. Whether to change the military system in the future, whether to continue to maintain the existing system, or the recruitment system, various There are advantages and disadvantages to the system, and it depends on Xiao Rui's thinking.

Of course, neither the re-division of local administration nor the reform of the military system can be accomplished overnight, at least not what Xiao Rui is going to do now. Xiao Rui's plan is to implement the New Deal when he ascends the throne and when Daxia welcomes the new situation.

So while there is still time, Xiao Rui has been trying to think of the most suitable way.

Before I knew it, it was already dark.

In the past few days, Xiao Rui has been dealing with government affairs until late at night, and he is quite desperate for Saburo. Now he is very envious of the work system of 955 in his previous life. Even 996 is more comfortable than now.

Yan Xiaoxin, who was on the side, said painfully: "Your Highness, it's about time, it's getting late!"

Xiao Rui came back to his senses and realized it was so late, so he put down his pen, shook his head with a flick of his wrist, and said with a smile: "It's all over, okay, don't read it!"

Yan Xiaoxiao stretched out her jade hand to pinch Xiao Rui's shoulders, Xiao Rui enjoyed the relaxation, feeling exhausted all at once.

Then he got up and left the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and returned to the East Palace under the guard of the Forbidden Army.

Who knows.

When passing through the Hall of Supreme Harmony, someone unexpectedly flew down from the beams and pillars of the hall, with the cold light of the long sword in his hand, like a sword, directly stabbing Xiao Rui in the crowd of forbidden soldiers.

This person's body skills are superb, his swordsmanship is superb, and he is unexpected. When the imperial guards just reacted, this person has already leapt close.

At this moment, Li Yuanfang quickly pulled Li Yuanfang behind him, and at the same time, he cut out the iron dragon in his hand, and chopped it on the long sword stabbed by the assassin.

Boom...

The sword that looked like an antelope's horn was surprisingly powerful. Li Yuanfang took a step back and couldn't help shouting: "Super grade?"

Warriors are divided into six grades, and those above grade six are super grades!

It is very difficult to reach the super-grade realm. There are very few existences in the mainland of China. Among the super-grade masters Xiao Rui knows, there is only Jian Jiuxiao.

Looking at the assassin's clothes, it turned out to be the clothes of the imperial army. It is not difficult for a super master to get close to the palace.

After Li Yuanfang was surprised, he immediately counterattacked and shouted at the same time: "Protect Your Highness!"

In an instant, the inner three layers of the forbidden army protected Xiao Rui, and at the same time, the horn sounded, and the forbidden army rushed over after hearing the news.

Although Li Yuanfang is not the opponent of the opponent, it is still possible to entangle the opponent.

The first one to come was Qinglian swordsman. He slashed at the assassin with a single sword, which relieved Li Yuanfang's pressure and put pressure on him at the same time.

Qinglian swordsman's strength is far better than that of a sixth-rank master, but it's still not a super rank. It's in between. At this time, when he cooperates with Li Yuanfang, he can fight an assassin on a par.

Immediately afterwards, more imperial guards arrived, overwhelming the scene.

No matter how fierce the super masters are, they are not cultivating the body and cultivating immortals. They are also ordinary people, and they have to drink hatred when facing the siege of the forbidden army.

So the assassin saw that the assassination was fruitless, and immediately fled.

Li Yuanfang and Qinglian Swordsman pursued closely, trying to keep each other behind.

Xiao Rui frowned. It was the first time that he had been assassinated in the palace, and he was also a super master, but the problem of representation was bigger.

Who is going to kill himself?

What's the history?

There are too many enemies to think of.

Let's go back to the East Palace first, Xiao Rui is worried about the situation in the East Palace, if an assassin runs to the East Palace to assassinate Liuying, Ruoxue and the others, wouldn't it be dangerous?

On the other side, send an internal officer to His Majesty to see if it is safe.

Back in the East Palace, everything in the East Palace was safe, Xiao Rui breathed a sigh of relief.

Not long after, the imperial guards reported that His Majesty's place was also safe, and no assassins had been encountered. Li Yuanfang and Qinglian Swordsman also lost track of each other. The opponent was good at lightness kung fu and was fully prepared to climb over the palace wall with ropes. When they chased into the imperial city, they disappeared.

However, Yan Qing, who was catching up later, shot the opponent when the opponent was climbing the palace wall, with an arrow in the back and left shoulder.

Also because of the assassination of the prince, the palace was searched tonight in a carpet style, and no other assassins were found.

Wei Zhongxian was so frightened that he stayed up all night, met Zhang Yu, the commander of Jinyiwei, and began to investigate the origin of the assassin.
