As the banquet ended, Li Qin looked at the members of the royal family who had just left.
This banquet served as a kind of assessment, essentially an interview.
He discovered that there were still a few people who could be trained.
Later, we can add their names to the list of trainees we have cultivated.
As for those people who were already on the list, I'll sign their appointment letters later and send them to the army to hone their skills.
After returning to his hall, Li Qin dealt with some official business at hand.
Looking at the mountain of government affairs still piling up.
Li Qin knew that he needed to set up an organization to help him handle these matters.
Then Li Qin picked up a piece of white paper next to him and began to write some names on it.
These were his trusted confidants, and he planned to set aside a room in his own residence to serve as their office.
As for the name of this organization, what would be a good name?
What they actually do is what the cabinet does, but they have the substance of a cabinet without the name of one.
I can easily place anyone in there.
Let's call this organization the Military Intelligence Room.
After Li Qin had basically drafted the list for the military affairs office, he casually picked up another memorial.
This was the man he had just appointed as the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, none other than Luo Yangxing, the former deputy commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard who had surrendered to him.
He appointed him as the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard and promoted a large number of high-ranking officials from the original Embroidered Uniform Guard, all so that they would give him back control of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, this intelligence agency.
After all, the Imperial Guards in the capital suffered heavy losses, but the intelligence network established by the Imperial Guards in various parts of the Great Wu was not greatly damaged.
Most of them are well preserved.
He recruited the former deputy commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard and a large number of former high-ranking members of the Embroidered Uniform Guard in order to utilize their influence within the Embroidered Uniform Guard.
Reorganize the Jinyiwei (Imperial Guards) throughout the Great Wu region and make this intelligence organization function again.
After all, mastering this well-established and widespread Jinyiwei intelligence system is much simpler than starting from scratch.
After this period of reorganization, the Jinyiwei (Imperial Guards) in Zhili, Shandong, Shanxi, and other places north of the Yellow River have been re-established and brought under control.
In Henan, Shaanxi, and other places, most of the Imperial Guards have also been re-established contact.
He is still in contact with the Jinyiwei in other places, and he believes that it will not be long before this Jinyiwei intelligence system, which is spread throughout the Great Wu, will be operational again and serve him.
Li Qin was very satisfied with the results.
Although Zhu Jianshen led his ministers to establish a separate court in Jinling, his court also operated under the banner of the Great Wu.
However, his court did not take away any of the foundation of the Great Wu court.
It's absolutely impossible for someone like him, who has the Imperial Guards all over the country, to take control of them after he fled to Jiangnan.
He had neither relevant personnel information nor any high-ranking officials of the Embroidered Uniform Guard with him.
Even if they wanted to control the Embroidered Uniform Guard, they wouldn't know how to start.
They didn't even know who the Embroidered Uniform Guards who were lurking in Jiangnan were or where they were.
After seeing Luo Yangxing, Li Qin also picked up his pen and wrote a comment.
He praised him for doing a very good job and urged him to keep up the good work. He also instructed the Imperial Guards in Shanxi and Shaanxi to quickly gather intelligence from these areas and report it to him.
After Li Qin finished writing the instructions for Luo Yangxing...
She got up to go and rest.
As soon as Li Qin entered his room, he saw Zhuang Xiaoyu sitting at his desk, reviewing the mansion's accounts and other information.
During this period, he was busy dealing with various government affairs, and he really didn't have the energy to deal with matters at his residence.
Now that Zhuang Xiaoyu, his legal wife, has arrived, things can be sorted out for him a bit.
Now, including her, there are only three women behind his mansion.
But there will definitely be more than three women in the future, and there will be all sorts of troubles for so many women.
He doesn't want to deal with it anyway; he'll just leave it all to Zhuang Xiaoyu, his legal wife.
Anyway, if nothing unexpected happens, and I become emperor, she should be empress.
Hmm, I think so?
Anyway, she's currently the legal wife.
Li Qin walked up behind her and said:
"How's it going?"
Zhuang Xiaoyu was startled when she saw Li Qin suddenly appear behind her.
Then he patted his chest and said:
You scared me to death.
I'm dealing with some matters at the manor; things have been really chaotic there lately.
If you don't handle things carefully, the servants won't dare to make decisions on many matters.
For example, you probably wouldn't remember the former Crown Princess Jiang Qingyue and her daughter at all, except at night.
They haven't had a single servant or a single tael of silver during this time. Even the servants get a monthly stipend, but they have nothing. You don't care at all how they live in the mansion.”
"Yeah?"
Li Qin frowned helplessly after hearing Zhuang Xiaoyu's words.
During this period, he held absolute power in the court, and the amount of government affairs he handled every day was higher than the table.
There's no time left to deal with other things.
Then Li Qin put his hand on Zhuang Xiaoyu's shoulder and said:
"Isn't it you who's here?"
"Perfect, you can take care of these household matters for me."
