When the New Year's firecrackers rang, time entered the empire for twenty years. However, for Shin Kyung, who had been indulging in luxury for twenty years, this New Year was filled with coldness and separation. The immigration case was gradually concluded around the New Year. When the Security Bureau's Office of the Security Bureau joined forces to investigate the members and bureaucrats, and the Inspectorate and the Public Security Department handled the imperial edicts of the vassal officials and nobles, people knew that this matter could not end easily.

The major case triggered by the immigration department was actually a major anti-corruption campaign launched by the empire. Tens of thousands of people were questioned, of which more than 3,000 were exiled. In the bureaucratic and noble system, there were many people who were held accountable, dismissed, and demoted. Every war would give birth to many new noble officials, but every major case caused many people to lose their original special status.

It was also during this great movement that the third cabinet of the empire was successfully replaced. He Wenrui, who had been the Prime Minister of the Cabinet for ten years and the Prime Minister of the interim Cabinet for two years, was awarded the honor. However, among his cabinet members, four were just dismissed by the immigration case.

The power was transferred in a state of anxiety. The Senate was handed over to the young and powerful Lin Junhong. The Senate also adjusted after the immigration case. Many nobles in the founding era lost their representation, and the upstarts who expanded their territory during the 21st year of the empire took over more power.

The same is true for the House of Commons. The traditional Han area in China, especially the Yangtze River Delta, the number of representatives in Beijing, Tianjin and Guangdong is no longer fully advantageous, and the Nanyang and overseas departments have more say.

It seems that everything shows that after the emperor of the empire became a benevolent monarch for ten years, it seemed that he had a strategy of expanding outward, which was particularly evident among the cabinet members.

Pei Chengyi, who had a military background but had been in charge of the imperial vassal affairs for many years, became the Prime Minister of the Empire. The first Prime Minister was the Clan and the second was the Civil Affairs Department. The third soldier who appeared, before taking over as the Prime Minister to form a cabinet, Pei Chengyi retired from the army as an imperial general, and the candidate for the Deputy Prime Minister exceeded everyone's expectations. This was Zhao Junsu, elected by the Senate and approved by the emperor.

Zhao Junsu also had an army background, but on the Shandong battlefield that year, he was convicted of his son being abused and killed and captured, but he was pardoned and went to the Americas to work. With the establishment of the American Development Company, he became the governor of the American Development Company. His real name was Zhao Junsu, perhaps to cover up the guilt of the year, or perhaps it was just like an open statement, avoiding the emperor's name and renamed Zhao Junsu.

But no matter what, it is the first time that the colonial officials have entered the cabinet. In the last cabinet, the appointment of the chief executive of overseas provinces was criticized by many parties. This time, the emperor once again set the stage for the trend.

Chen Ping, who attracted much attention from all parties and believed that he would definitely join the cabinet, did not join the cabinet, but was only in charge of the central court. Although his position was not high, he was a true confidant of the emperor and also had the qualifications to attend the Standing Committee of the Imperial Front Meeting and the State Council as a high-level meeting. But everyone knows that his future is bright and brilliant.

The new cabinet team was completed in the spring of the 22nd year of the Empire, perhaps because they were worried that these cabinet members from the vassal states and colonies would become unfamiliar with the cabinet administrative work. Therefore, the emperor conferred four former cabinet members, including former Prime Minister Ho Wenrui, as the advisory group of the new prime ministers, and also retained most ministerial officials in the administrative system to avoid accidents.

Although Xin's cabinet has sufficient military and expansion, the current strategic environment of the empire is very peaceful, and there is no decent war, whether it is ocean or land. Of course, for the empire, it is always in war. In the border areas of land, the guardian generals and appeasement generals are still cleaning up horse thieves and tribes that are disobeying the royal transformation. In the South China Sea, the primitive tribes' attacks on the Han gathering places never disappeared, and the expedition is always going on, and let alone colonies everywhere. The war is endless and there is no possibility of ending. No victory is worth celebrating, and no failure will be surprised.

Around the New Year, Li Junwei lived a very comfortable life. His main job was to secretly sneak into the imperial study room and steal the emperor's private messages. Although the emperor had secretly contacted the girl Lan secretly and thought she was an ordinary guard officer, Li Junwei knew it very much from the beginning.

He had no intention of intervening, but the empress dowager was always in a state of worry. Therefore, he needed to do something to hold the empress dowager's restless heart so that the empress dowager would not be anxious to eat hot tofu.

The only thing worth mentioning is that the prince consort involved in the immigration case has been closed. The prince consort’s original crime was enough to behead his head, but because of the report, cross-examination, and the compensation was made, he was exempted from the death penalty. Finally, he chose one of the fifteen years of labor reform and the distant side never returned to the capital.

The prince-consort was a novice and could not adapt to the days of labor reform. He finally chose to be sent to the distant side.

"I'm smirking at me again. Is there anything wrong?" The emperor in the study room had just put down the official document and twisted his stiff neck, but saw Prince Yu standing in front of him, and he was so happy that he knew he had something wrong.

Li Junwei smiled and said, "Brother, can I discuss something with you?"

"If you have something to say and fart, what's the use of playing the emotional card?" Lin Junhong said with a slight interest.

Li Junwei said: "I strongly recommend that the emperor put Australia in the remote jurisdiction as well!"

The so-called remote jurisdiction is actually the definition of exile in the imperial judicial system. In the past, exile was mostly based on the exile of thousands of miles. Later, with the expansion of the empire, the jurisdiction covered the world. If it was exiled to America, wouldn’t it be said that exile was 50,000 miles? If it was written into historical books, it would be too shocking to compare it with history. The Emperor of the Supreme Emperor didn’t care about it. Anyway, as the founding emperor, Li Mingxun didn’t expect all historical books to say that he was good. As the founding emperor, which dynasty was not mixed with praise or criticism. However, Li Junhua was different, and he still cared about the setting of this benevolent monarch.

Therefore, the Ministry of Justice redefined the rules of exile and dismissal, which are divided into extreme, remote, near, and inner. The inner side is generally the domestic areas and even traditional Han areas, such as Sichuan, which died of large population loss due to war, and Liaoning, which was established after the founding of the Empire, or some nearby overseas islands, including Jeju Island and Ryukyu. These places are familiar to the people of the Empire but also require population.

Generally speaking, the exiled officials are usually wronged and go to places where ordinary people are unwilling to go to work.

Nearby are some overseas provinces, territories and inner Xinjiang regions of the empire, such as the four provinces in the northeast, which are considered to be bitter and cold places, several provinces or appeasement zones in the South China Sea, and appeasement zones in the south and northeast.

The distance includes the Western, Northern and Indian Ocean colonies. As for the extreme, there are several colonies in the Americas, land half of the earth, and sunset.

Australia also belongs to the Nanyang region within the imperial system. When Australia was developed, the empire was still in a state of ingenuity. Faced with the powerful Qing Dynasty and many competitors at sea, Australia was the last retreat set by Li Mingxun. With the clarity of the mainland war and the first leader to explore Australia, Ma Dong, returned to Beijing to enter the cabinet, Australia's status dropped sharply, and it was even worse than that of Jincheng, which could produce gold mines.

The Dutch East India Company had a short era of reciprocal development, that is, it also participated in the development of Australia. Later, with the failure, it completely withdrew. This vast land belonged to the empire and some indigenous people, so the enthusiasm for pioneering was completely lost. Anyway, the meat was rotten in the pot. Who cares about the empire's people who had 500,000 or 5 million?

The bureaucrats, nobles and congressmen who committed crimes in the immigration department were all exiled to the remote imperial capital, mainly supporting the development and occupation of the mainland. Some people with less sins can choose to go to Yili, the Black Sea, or the land in the river.

Li Junhua glanced at Li Junwei. He knew that his younger brother could not beg him for business. After thinking about it, he said, "Who are you doing for? Is the prince-consin's family?"

"The emperor is wise, the emperor is wise and sees thousands of miles!" Li Junwei immediately flattered.

Li Junhua actually knew that Li Junwei had used measures to reduce the sentence of the prince consort, but fortunately, it was harmless and was very secretive, and even this kind of speculation was not even present. The prince consort's proactive confession and cross-examination also promoted the rapid trial of immigration cases, so Li Junhua chose to turn a blind eye.

"According to your opinion, the prince consort and his family intend to go to Australia?" Li Junhua asked.

Li Junwei nodded: "It can be said that my second sister has not yet come out of this matter after all. She is really spoiled. Until now, she has never thought that my second brother-in-law can survive is the kindness of the emperor. She also secretly complained, not only complaining about the emperor brother, but also me and everyone in the royal family. She still insisted that her second brother-in-law could get a comprehensive pardon and regarded it as nothing had happened."

"Is that so? I didn't see it." Lin Junhong was pounding, and kicked Li Junwei gently under the table.

Li Junhua nodded: "I didn't pay attention if you didn't say it. It seems that after the New Year, no one came to the prince-consort's family."

"No, even my nephew didn't let him go out. This is anger." Li Junwei said, while Li Junhua asked, "Then how did you know they were going to Australia."

"I made an appointment with my second brother-in-law to chat. My second brother-in-law also felt that my second sister's personality would annoy you or the queen of the mother sooner or later, so I wanted to leave and go to a place far away from the emperor." Li Junwei was blunt.

Li Junhua nodded: "Going to Australia is also a place to go. You are right. If you go to Xijiang, you will be stared at. If you make mistakes again, I am afraid no one can save you. But have you told your father and mother?"

"After saying that, the mother and mother are reluctant to let go. The mother still wants to let her second brother-in-law go to Xijiang for seven or eight years and still be able to come back to live a small life." Li Junwei said.

This was as expected by the emperor. He asked seriously: "The meaning of the father is the most important thing. This is family matter. The head of the family is the father, not me. Do you understand?" Li Junhua thought for himself and said, "Why don't I ask myself."

Li Junwei stopped Li Junhua and said, "No need. It's just a waste of time to make my father angry. His father's attitude is even more firm. He no longer wants to recognize his second sister as his daughter. He just hopes that she will not educate her children too domineeringly! Perhaps the second sister has known his father's attitude for a long time, so she is disheartened by the royal family."

"Since that's the case, I won't make my father sad, right?" Li Junhua nodded and said, "I will notify the Ministry of Justice to make some changes. Australia is indeed far enough. There are not many people who are really willing to go. It is enough to reach the standards of the distance. In the past, it was positioned as near, which was because of bureaucracy, and it was changed if it was changed!"

Li Junwei nodded: "So, thank you for your fulfillment."

Seeing that he was about to leave, Li Junhua said, "Wait a minute, there will be a meeting in front of the imperial court later. You can wait a while and attend it."

"I? Attend the imperial meeting?" Li Junwei was surprised. He had already agreed on such a thing, but why did the emperor change his mind again?

Li Junhua said, "It's about the direction of the ocean and Europa. It's not bad if you listen to it. This time you go west, both business and personal affairs."

Li Junwei focused his attention and sat there. Soon Prime Minister Pei Chengyi and Deputy Prime Minister Zhao Junsu entered the imperial study and made some red tape for the emperor. This was a fixed pattern for almost all new members of the cabinet. In the early stages of work, he always respected the emperor too much, and some people even feared him. As time went by, he gradually became normal.

"Your Majesty, the fleet sent by the Navy to the Black Sea was attacked in Gibraltar, with heavy losses and a large number of ships were damaged. Fortunately, they were closer to the ally Portugal, so they survived, and the attacker was Spain." Zhao Junsu said seriously.

Li Junhua frowned and asked, "As far as I know, the war with Spain has never stopped. Has it been stopped since my father's era?"

"There was a truce. After the naval battle commanded by the Supreme Emperor himself, he held a truce with the governor of the Philippines Governor of Spain at that time. But soon, Spain joined the Anti-China Alliance and abandoned all the interests of the East. After the end of the Indian Ocean War, we only had a truce with the Netherlands, France and other countries, but Spain did not accept our truce requests because they discovered our development in the Americas and demanded that we withdraw completely. This was harshly rejected by the Supreme Emperor!" Zhao Junsu came to report this matter, so he was naturally prepared.
Chapter completed!
