Chapter 225
"Well, Your Majesty, can I say that it was an accident just now?" The left prime minister looked at the sky, confused.
This thief God, I didn't see how he lived before, why is it so effective today. I just made a poisonous oath, and you are doing something weird to me. If you have the guts, just strike me to death. I am a timid old man and can't stand your torment.
"Oh, since you said so, it's a bit unreasonable for me not to believe it. Well, this matter ends here, and I won't go into it any more. In the future, you should be more efficient and don't let me worry about it, okay?" Li Qingluo was also startled by the thunder.
She was really worried that the sky would strike down with lightning, after all, the old man was kneeling beside the horse. If the sky suddenly lost its eyes and struck off the right side, it might strike her.
After all, Li Hao under her was a guy with the attribute of being struck by lightning.
"Yes, thank you for your trust, Your Majesty. I am terrified." Zuo Xiang knew that he had safely passed this time, so he immediately knelt on the ground and loudly praised Li Qingluo.
"Also, don't swear randomly in the future. There is a god above your head, and it might come true one day." Li Qingluo said with a tangled face.
If you want to swear a poisonous oath, stay away from me, so as not to implicate me.
"I know, Your Majesty, I will be careful in the future." Zuo Xiang said with a red face. God doesn't give me face, you blame me.
"As for you, what are you kneeling here for? Did you also participate in the assassination and come to apologize?" Li Qingluo didn't have a good face for these family heads.
These guys, they don't get up early without profit. A century-old dynasty, a thousand-year-old family. Even if Daxia was destroyed, the family is still a family, so these guys have always been fearless and obeyed his orders in public but disobeyed them in private.
The head of the noble family: You have only been in office for a few days. You have issued several orders. Explain clearly what it means to disobey your orders in secret.
"Your Majesty, we were very anxious when we heard that the rebels were invading the royal city. We immediately organized the men in our families to come with weapons to help Her Majesty the Queen. Who knew that Her Majesty the Queen was blessed by God and could defeat the rebels with fewer troops and win a great victory."
"Before we had time to join the battlefield, Her Majesty the Queen returned with a great victory with prisoners. So, we discussed it and decided that since we could not participate in the battle, we might as well welcome Her Majesty the Queen's triumphant return here." The head of the noble family, a middle-aged man who looked like a Confucian scholar, spoke up.
"Who is this? He said it perfectly! Even if you want to find loopholes in his tone, it's hard to find them. He didn't come to join the battle. He said you beat me too fast and they were not ready yet. This guy has a demon mind and is not a simple guy." In the carriage, Li Hao talked freely and analyzed the personalities and abilities of these people for Li Qingluo.
"He is the patriarch of the Tuoba family, the largest family in the Great Xia Royal City. Tuoba Tao is a gentleman. However, according to the information obtained by the spies of the Imperial City Division, this guy is not a good thing. He is greedy and lustful, and he doesn't even let his daughter-in-law, niece, and aunt go. He can be called a typical gentleman." Hearing the Confucian scholar speak, Li Qingluo felt a little sick.
But this guy didn't do anything bad that would anger the heavens and the people, so it was hard for him to find an excuse to kill him. But in Li Qingluo's heart, this guy was labeled as never important.
"Master Tuoba is serious. I didn't expect that he was so thoughtful that he organized the young and strong men of the family to support me against the rebels. This really makes me, Li Qiushui, ashamed! Master Tuoba, Gao Yi, please accept Qiushui's greetings."
After speaking, Li Qingluo made a gesture of bowing to Tuoba Tao.
"Your Majesty is too polite. Unfortunately, your Majesty's army is so powerful that it wiped out the rebels in a lightning speed. Tuoba Tao is willing to serve the country, but unfortunately he is not from the army, and his speed is much worse than that of the queen." Seeing that Li Qingluo was so polite to him, Tuoba Tao's fox tail almost rose to the sky.
No matter how smart you are, Li Qiushui still has to drink my foot washing water. This world, after all, is still the world of our family. Without the support of our family, you, Li Qiushui, are nothing.
Thinking of it, Tuoba Tao looked at Li Qingluo with a lustful look in his eyes.
Her Majesty the Queen is so charming, I wonder if I, Tuoba Tao, will have a chance to taste her beauty! Thinking of this, Tuoba Tao's heart became hot.
"I didn't expect that the head of the Tuoba family would support me so much, Qiu Shui is unworthy of it. But since the head of the family has gathered all the men, I can't refuse your kindness."
"It just so happens that there are still hundreds of thousands of rebels in Li Chengwei's territory that have not been dealt with, and the king's troops are a bit tight. Now that the head of the family supports me so much,Then I will obey your command respectfully."
"Murong Fu, organize all the soldiers organized by these family heads, and then bring them back to the barracks for training, and let them go to the battlefield to make achievements on a chosen day. When they have won military merits, I will personally award them." Li Qingluo changed the subject and directly asked Murong Fu to accept the private armies of these aristocratic families.
"Yes, Your Majesty. "Murong Fu replied, and immediately led his men to drive away the private armed forces wearing armor and carrying weapons in the welcoming crowd.
Tuoba Tao, who was still paying attention to Li Qingluo, immediately looked as if he had eaten a bunch of dead flies, and his face became extremely ugly.
Damn, I was being polite to you, but you directly requisitioned our family's private army. And took them back to the barracks for reorganization. I guess after entering the barracks, their master's surname will be Li.
Tuoba Tao wanted to resist, but after he saw the heroic guards behind Li Qingluo's carriage, the idea in his heart was dispelled.
If the private army is requisitioned, it will be requisitioned! I guess if I dare to resist, I will be immediately chopped into pieces by the executioners of the guards.
Seeing a bunch of family private soldiers being taken by Murong Fu Li Qingluo was very excited when the people from Yipintang were taken away! Li Hao's idea was good. As soon as he said a few nice compliments, Tuoba Tao immediately lost his last name.
Unconsciously, he handed over the weapons in his hands. The private armed forces of these families vary in number, but the total number is as many as 20,000.
Moreover, these people are relatively strong, and each of them is fearless. As long as he gets rid of the diehards of those families in the team, then these 20,000 troops will become a sharp sword in his hands.
As for how to get rid of the loyal members of those families, Li Hao, the little bastard, has already given him some advice.
To win people's hearts, the simplest thing is money, beauty and status.
