Chapter 13 Taking Back the North County Military Power
Yancheng.

County Sheriff's Office.

After seeing Li Rui coming back, all the officials from Beijun rushed forward.

One of the officials asked, "Prefect Li, did your lord say what he's going to do next?"

Now the officials in Beijun are very concerned about what kind of big moves the King of Bei will make after he comes to Beidi, and whether it will affect their jobs and interests.

Li Rui showed a smile, raised his hand and stroked his beard, and then replied calmly: "My lord told me, don't go to him if there is nothing important, everything in North County will be business as usual!"

Hearing this, the officials of Beijun instantly became extremely excited.

If so, neither their power nor their interests will be compromised.

Although they didn't say anything at this time, their thoughts were basically "Fortunately, the imperial court sent a useless prince to Beijun".

However, at this moment, a soldier from the Sheriff's Mansion ran in in a panic. He came in front of Li Rui and whispered something.

After listening to the soldier's words, Li Rui frowned, and his face darkened instantly.

Seeing Li Rui's ugly face, an official quickly asked, "My lord, what happened?"

As soon as the official finished speaking, Li Feng walked into the Sheriff's Mansion.

Seeing that Li Rui and all the officials were there, Li Feng said with a smile: "Master Li, your mansion is really lively today!"

Li Rui came back to his senses, hurried up and said, "Where is it?"

"I wonder if General Li has something to convey when he came to my mansion?"

Li Feng directly took out the token of the Northern King, and said, "My lord has ordered that from today onwards, I will take over all military affairs in Beijun."

Hearing this, the officials in the yard panicked instantly.

The main reason why they dared to be unscrupulous and didn't take Bei Wang seriously at all was because the army of Beijun was in the hands of the prefect.

As soon as Bei Wang arrived in Beijun, he was about to take over the military affairs of Beijun. What was he doing?
The army is relatively sensitive, and the vassal king will inevitably do something when he controls the army.

Could it be that the King of the North is planning to attack them?

Li Rui said at this time: "General Li, the prince has just arrived in Beijun and is not familiar with Beijun. I wonder why he asked you to take over military affairs?"

Li Rui didn't think it was the King of the North who wanted to attack the forces of the North County, at least not in the short term. After all, he had just arrived in the North County and hadn't established a firm foothold in the North County yet.

Besides, to maintain the rule of the North County, the King of the North still needs officials like them and the major forces in the North County.

Li Feng saw the worry in Li Rui and others' hearts, so he said directly: "Master Li, I believe you should have heard the news that the prince was assassinated by the Blood Moon Tower on Jiufan Road, right?"

Li Rui said, "It's natural."

Li Feng continued: "Since this is the case, then you should understand why the prince wants to control the military power. The prince does not want his personal safety to be in the hands of others."

Hearing what Li Feng said, Li Rui and the others reacted instantly.

That's right, King Bei was assassinated on the way here. He was relatively young, so he must have been frightened.

Perhaps it was because he was afraid of death and that the North County army would harm him, that's why he took control of the military.

Li Feng continued: "Master Li, you don't want to hand over your military power, do you?"

"The prince has entrusted you with all the affairs of the North County. If the military power is still in your possession, are you the prince or the North King?"

Hearing Li Feng's words, cold sweat broke out on Li Rui's forehead instantly.

Indeed, if all the power in Beijun is in his hands and no one can restrict him, I am afraid that it will not be long before the imperial court will send someone to trouble him.

Li Rui thought for a while. Anyway, there are not many soldiers in Beijun, so it's better to hand them over directly to avoid trouble for himself.

Thinking of this, Li Rui immediately took out the Tiger Talisman from his pocket, "General Li, this is the Tiger Talisman that governs all soldiers and horses in Beijun."

Then Li Rui said to a soldier in armor beside him: "Lieutenant Wang, take General Li to the barracks to have a look."

"Yes, my lord."

Then Li Feng followed the soldier to the barracks in Yancheng.

After Li Feng left, the officials behind Li Rui surrounded him.

"My lord, why did you hand over the Tiger Talisman to him!"

"Yes, my lord, if the prince has military power, what will he do if he messes around?"

"My lord, what should we do now?"

……

Hearing the officials' comments, Li Rui said: "Don't worry, the military power should be in the hands of the prince, and it is normal for the prince to take back the military power."

"And you also heard Li Feng's words just now. The prince has entrusted me with all the affairs of Beijun. If I still control the military power, I am afraid that the prince will be able to tolerate me, and the court will not tolerate me."

Hearing what Li Rui said, some quick-witted officials instantly understood what Li Rui meant.

After all, in the Great Xia Dynasty, there was a case in which a certain palace chief, Shi, monopolized power and imprisoned the vassal king.

Still, they were a little worried.

Once the King of the North has military power, it means that he has weapons in his hands. It is easy to deal with them, and they will not dare to mess around like before.

Li Rui continued: "Okay, you all return to your respective jurisdictions."

"If the King of the North has any orders, I will notify you as soon as possible."

After hearing Li Rui's words, the officials had no choice but to leave the Sheriff's Mansion one after another.

……

a few days later.

North Palace.

Lu Chen was in the yard, looking at the soap made by the servants according to the soap making diagram, he picked up a piece and put it on a dirty piece of clothing to try it out.

In no time, the stains on the dirty clothes become clean after washing.

Seeing this scene, everyone in the yard let out an incredible cry.

Chu Yuqin asked curiously: "Chen'er, where did you find the making method, this soap is so easy to use?"

Lu Chen replied with a smile while washing his hands: "Aunt Chu, if I say that I thought of it myself, would you believe me?"

Chu Yuqin raised her beautiful eyes, and said with a bit of yin and yang, "Sure enough, Chen'er has grown up, with more and more secrets, and she keeps everything from auntie."

Mu Zixuan saw that the atmosphere seemed to be in a bad mood, so she quickly smoothed things over and said, "Aunt Chu, this is indeed the way the prince came up with."

In fact, Chu Yuqin's tone was only a little bit yin and yang, she was not angry at all, Chu Yuqin hadn't planned to explore the secrets in Lu Chen's heart for a long time.

But having said that, Chu Yuqin felt a little sour when she thought about how Lu Chen told her everything in the past, but kept everything from herself after getting married.

At this time, Zhou Xiaoxiao changed the subject and said, "My lord, how do you plan to sell this soap?"

Lu Chen made it clear before making soap that he would sell it, so Zhou Xiaoxiao was very curious about how the prince of soap with such a strong cleaning effect planned to price it.

Lu Chen thought for a while, and then said: "Just sell it for three to ten yuan."

Zhou Youyou who was beside Zhou Xiaoxiao said in surprise, "So cheap?"

Lu Chen said: "Small profits but quick turnover. It is originally used to replace bath beans. It can't be too expensive. If it's too expensive, no one will buy it."

Having said that, Lu Chen's eyes fell on Mu Zixuan.

"Aifei, the soap industry will be handed over to you."

Mu Zixuan said excitedly: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I will take care of the soap business and fill up the palace's internal treasury as soon as possible."

As soon as Mu Zixuan finished speaking, her expression suddenly confessed and she retched.

Seeing this scene, Zhou Youyou and Zhou Xiaoxiao hurried to her side to support her, "Sister, what's wrong with you?"

"Quick...call the doctor!"
