It had been more than ten days since the Demonic Priest wreaked havoc in the Imperial Palace.
Although the imperial court repeatedly issued orders to suppress this matter, there were still people who were not afraid of death spreading the Demonic Priest incident among the people.
And Xia Jian, in an instant, became the Emperor's most trusted person.
As for what Emperor Chenghua said that day, he did not mention anything about the title of marquis or the chief assistant of the cabinet.
Xia Jian wouldn't take the initiative to mention it to Transformation Monarch Cheng, so Transformation Monarch Cheng pretended to be dumb and muddled along.
What made Xia Jian the most unhappy was that the 10,000 gold taels promised by the Transformation Monarch was not fulfilled.
Xia Jian wasn't stupid. If the Emperor didn't give it to him, he wouldn't take the initiative to ask for it from the Transformation Monarch.
Asking the emperor for a reward was disrespectful and no different from courting death.
Ever since the Demonic Priest incident, the Transformation Emperor had called Xia Jian over to the morning court.
Eunuchs hearing politics was the first of its kind in the Ming Dynasty.
The hearing of politics was not just about listening, but also giving opinions, which was the so-called regent!
This caused the group of censors who had nothing better to do to be dissatisfied. They kept spitting 'saliva' at Xia Jian, as if they were willing to cut him into pieces and dare to pull the emperor down from his horse.
Xia Jian didn't have a good impression of these censors. When the Demonic Priest wreaked havoc in the palace, these censors didn't even dare to say a word. After killing the Demonic Priest, they ran out again.
In his heart, he secretly noted down all these censors who were against him. When the West Hall was completely established, he would take care of these idle censors.
"Today, I want to announce something. The West Chamber is officially established today to deal with the affairs of the harem and supervise the important officials in the capital.”
"As for the position of West Hall's Commander-in-Chief, Xia Aiqing will take it. At the same time, the Imperial Guards 'North Town Governor Wantong is dead, so the position of Commander will be temporarily taken over by Xia Aiqing.”Zhu Jianshen said slowly, exuding an unquestionable majesty.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Xia Jian bowed and said.
Transformation Monarch Cheng nodded slightly. The officials in the imperial court wanted to say something, but they didn't say anything after seeing Transformation Monarch Cheng's expression.
"I promised you before that I would grant you the title of marquis. However, after checking the deeds of our ancestors, I found out that even Eunuch Sanbao did not have such a reward. Therefore, I can't cash it for you. I'll exchange it for ten thousand taels of gold!”
When the imperial court officials heard what the Transformation Monarch said, they immediately refused.
Especially the Ministry of Revenue. When they heard that they were going to reward Eunuch Xia with ten thousand taels of gold, they rushed out and said,"Your Majesty, you can't!"
Xia Jian glared at the Minister of Revenue. Damn it, it was fine if he said that he could not grant him land and title, but if this guy lost his ten thousand taels of gold, then he would not let him off!
"Your Majesty, there have been frequent wars at the border in the past two years. The various places are not peaceful either. The national treasury is empty and there is really no excess gold.”
"In addition, Yunnan Province has been suffering from floods for years, causing no crops to be harvested. I don't know how to deal with this matter.”
The Chenghua period of the Ming Dynasty was a very tragic era. There were too many natural and man-made disasters. The decline of the Ming Dynasty was also partly due to this.
The Ministry of Revenue was already unable to make ends meet and was suffering.
"I've already said it. Do you want me to go back on my word again? I, the great Ming Dynasty treasury, can't even take out ten thousand taels of gold? Humph!"
"If you think you can't be the Minister of Revenue, then scram back to your hometown as soon as possible!”
The Transformation Monarch Cheng felt that his face had been swept away, so how could he still give the Minister of Revenue a good look?
"Hmph, think of a way yourself. Retreat!”
The ministers knelt down and respectfully sent the emperor off.
[Ding-dong. Congratulations to the host for taking charge of the West Chamber and the Imperial Secret Service's North Garrison. You have taken a historic step toward becoming the King of Eunuchs!]”
[Ding-dong. The host has leveled up!] Reward: 50 special engineering soldiers.”
Name: Xia Jian
"Level: LV2 has been upgraded to LV3 (Official).
Race: Chinese Han
[Skills: Easy to capture, superb cooking skills][Six Pulses Divine Sword],[Disorder Conquering Sword Art],[Omniscient Mirror] Demon Slaying Sword Art "
" Attributes: Agility 34 4, Strength 34 4; Speed 27 4."
Xia Jian was very curious about the special soldier type rewarded by the system. What did this so-called engineering soldier type mean?
Could it be that these engineers could summon living people?
Just as Xia Jian was thinking about this, the system suddenly gave him a notification.
[Ding-dong. System notification. The King Supervisor System cannot provide living soldiers directly. A special chip can be implanted into the human body. This person will master all the knowledge of the engineering soldiers in a short period of hibernation.]”
When Xia Jian heard the system notification, he understood the reason. In other words, even the system couldn't directly create 50 living humans for Xia Jian, but it could implant 50 chips into the human body and create 50 engineers.
After Xia Jian returned to his private residence in the capital, he took out a special chip and personally implanted it into his body to test it.
This kind of chip was very simple to implant. It was placed on the back of the neck or near the back of the head. The chip would gradually integrate into the body. When it was completely integrated, the person would fall into a coma.
The coma lasted for about a day before the person woke up.
After waking up, they would obtain all the knowledge that an engineer needed to master. This was much more powerful than the craftsmen in the craftsmen's camp.
With this thing, he could build 50 engineering soldiers. Xia Jian believed that he could build a steam engine within five years!
With the steam engine, Xia Jian would be able to bring an industrial revolution to the Ming Dynasty, surpassing the western countries and making the whole world tremble under the feet of the Ming Dynasty.
Although Xia Jian was a eunuch, as a Chinese, he didn't want a Han nation to degenerate like this.
Now that Xia Jian had tasted the sweetness of power, he naturally wanted more. When Xia Jian had just obtained the knowledge of engineering soldiers, his vision was no longer limited to this small Great Ming Country.
The industrial revolution brought by the steam engine era to the United Kingdom established a British colony that surpassed the territory of the Mongol Empire.
As for Xia Jian, not only did he have more advanced engineering knowledge than the steam era, but more importantly, he could also create 49 soldiers who understood this knowledge like him. It was not a problem for him to surpass the industrial era of Britain.
Compared to other eras, the Great Ming Dynasty placed more emphasis on literature than martial arts. This was also a very strange phenomenon in the Great Ming Country. Even though the border wars continued year after year, civil officials were still superior to generals, causing many outstanding generals to be strangled in the cradle.
The five thousand men that he brought back were all arranged by Xia Jian to enter the West Hall. He also needed manpower now to work for the Emperor.
Among these five thousand people, three hundred were originally from the craftsman camp. Xia Jian selected forty-nine of them and implanted them with special chips.
After the special chip was implanted, these 49 people would be extremely loyal to Xia Jian.
This was a change in personality that was driven by the A. I. Chip and could not be controlled.
Next, the establishment of the West Branch represented the beginning of Xia Jian's operation to eliminate dissidents.
The first thing he did was to get rid of those censors in the court who did not get along with him.
These people were ten thousand times more hateful than the corrupt maggots of the Great Ming Dynasty. Many talented and loyal officials were sent back to their hometown by these people.
