At the same time, the same words were heard in every corner of Dagan. It is true that only those who win the hearts of the people can win the world.
Xu Jinhuan's subordinates, who were far in the north, listened to the familiar voice in the air with a confused look on their faces.
"Boss, did she take advantage of our absence to usurp the throne?" Ma Wencai looked at the people around him in confusion and shock.
Li Yichang nodded in surprise, "It seems so. This speed is beyond my imagination. It seems we have to speed up.
If someone still has evil intentions, we can lend a hand."
Ma Wencai nodded seriously when he heard this, "Okay, I understand. I'll go inform the others right away."
On this day, Dagan underwent a tremendous change. All the arrogant noble families became prisoners, and the names of those whose property was to be confiscated filled the entire memorial.
In a flash, it was the next day.
Xu Jinhuan was awakened early by the palace maid and came to the court without even eating.
She looked at the only three people below and coughed lightly. "It's just the four of us. We can just have a small meeting. We have our own loudspeaker when we come here to talk."
Sure enough, as she said, the sound lingered for a long time after she finished speaking.
"Let's go to my imperial study." Xu Jinhuan said with a smile.
After the four of them arrived at the imperial study, An Yi first reported the results of his work yesterday.
"Master, I led people to raid more than ten houses yesterday. The seized property has been deposited into the national treasury. Here is a breakdown of each family's property."
Xu Jinhuan took it, glanced at it, and put it down, then asked, "Have the officials in the prison confessed their crimes over the years?"
An nodded, "Many people have already started to confess, but there are too many things to tell. I need to sort them out before I can review them for your majesty."
Lin Qingzheng, a young man in blue, heard this and said, "Your Majesty, I have nothing to do. Can you let me help?"
Xu Jinhuan had a good impression of this last clean man in the imperial court, so when he saw him volunteer, he nodded.
Xu Jinhuan gave some more instructions, and then An Yi took Lin Qingzheng away.
Xu Jinhuan looked in Zhou Ziheng's direction and asked with a smile, "Ah Heng, how are things going over there?"
Zhou Ziheng smiled and said, "Fortunately, I have fulfilled my mission. With the sign of "Jin Huan Shan Shen" in place, all the scholars who never leave the mountains have agreed."
Xu Jinhuan nodded, "Now we can start preparing for the imperial examination. The court is in need of talents right now, so we must recruit talented people."
In this way, in order to become a hands-off boss as soon as possible, Xu Jinhuan was particularly careful in recruiting his right-hand men, and more than a month passed in a flash.
During this period, Xu Jinhuan changed the country's name to Huaxia and the year to Yanwu. Now is the first year of Yanwu.
Xu Jinhuan has not only recruited satisfactory employees, but also placed his trusted aides in various positions.
Xie Datou stayed in the north and became a deputy general, waiting for General Hu to retire before he could be officially promoted.
Ao Wu and a group of officers also stayed in the Beidi military camp and fought together with Xie Datou.
Li Yichang, Li Xiaoxiao, Ma Wencai, Xia Zhiying, Su Sanxi, and Xie Guangbai were all recalled to the capital.
Li Yichang entered the Ministry of Justice, and Li Xiaoxiao, relying on her unique skills in identifying people, also became an official of the Ministry of Justice, and she was also the first female official in Yanwu.
Ma Wencai joined the Imperial Guards. With the support of Xu Jinhuan, Xia Zhiying and Su Sanxi opened the Royal Technical School, which was responsible for teaching technical talents who were loyal to Xu Jinhuan.
Xia Zhiying also became Yan Wu’s first female teacher.
Xie Guangbai remained the same as before, staying in the Imperial Medical Service and becoming its director. Seeing that he was bored, Xu Jinhuan sent him to teach medical theory in the school where Xia Zhiying was.
As for Aunt Baipang and her family, they were also called back to the capital by Xu Jinhuan, and Aunt Baipang was finally reunited with her natal family.
The rest of the exiles were separated by Xu Jinhuan, and each family went to live in different places. They became Xu Jinhuan's eyes.
Once an official abused his power, they would immediately report it to the capital.
"Finally, it's not just a makeshift group anymore. It looks like an imperial court." Xu Jinhuan looked at the civil and military officials in the court, and yawned with satisfaction while sitting on the dragon throne.
A civil servant in his fifties stepped out of the team and made the suggestion after bowing.
"Your Majesty, I have a petition to make. It has been a month since you ascended the throne, but the coronation ceremony has not been held yet. Now that everything is on track, it is time to hold a grand ceremony to announce it to the world."
Xu Jinhuan nodded upon hearing this, "Minister Jin, what you said makes sense, then let the Ministry of Rites make the arrangements."
After she finished speaking, she looked at the civil and military officials below the stage and asked, "Do you have anything else to say?"
Seeing that everyone was alright, Xu Jinhuan withdrew from the court.
She returned to the imperial study and looked at the memorials in her hand boredly. After Zhou Ziheng stabilized the court, he left China and returned to the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Xu Jinhuan still remembers what Zhou Ziheng said when he left.
"Jinhuan, wait for me in China. I will bring gifts from the Great Zhou when we meet again."
Xu Jinhuan looked at the memorial in his hand and muttered, "It's been so long, why is there still no news..."
After thinking about it for these days, Xu Jinhuan has made up her mind. She undoubtedly likes Zhou Ziheng.
It's just that at this moment, the person who should be there is not here.
"Knock knock knock"
There was a sudden knock on the door of the imperial study.
Xu Jinhuan shouted casually, "Come in."
After she finished shouting, she was still muttering in her heart, why didn't the palace maid Xi Que shout who was coming today? In the past, she was the one who could make the most noise...
"Jinhuan, I'm back." Zhou Ziheng's voice came from the door.
Xu Jinhuan looked up in surprise, she blinked, walked over quickly, and lightly hit Zhou Ziheng on the chest.
"You are such a good person, Zhou Ziheng. You have no news since you returned. It's a pity for me..."
Zhou Ziheng naturally noticed the slight change in Xu Jinhuan's emotions. He grabbed Xu Jinhuan's hand and said tenderly, "Jinhuan, I miss you."
After saying that, he knelt on one knee and presented a scroll with both hands.
"This is all the stuff in my Great Zhou's treasury. Today, the Great Zhou Emperor Zhou Ziheng is coming to marry, and the entire Great Zhou will serve as a dowry. I wonder if Your Majesty will approve it?"
Xu Jinhuan's ears turned red, but he looked at Zhou Ziheng seriously and asked, "Don't you regret it?"
Zhou Ziheng smiled and replied, "I enjoy it and have no regrets."
Xu Jinhuan took the scroll with a smile and casually threw it on the desk beside him. After helping Zhou Ziheng up, he leaned close to his ear and whispered, "I agree."
Zhou Ziheng was stunned for a moment when he heard this, with disbelief and ecstasy on his face. He subconsciously hugged Xu Jinhuan into his arms and murmured, "Don't cheat."
After Xu Jinhuan felt the force on his body, he touched Zhou Ziheng's back helplessly and said with a smile, "Don't cheat."
Zhou Ziheng looked at Xu Jinhuan lovingly, "Jinhuan, I love you. Even if my soul disappears from this world, it will not change."
It was Xu Jinhuan's lips that responded to his oath...
