Myriad Realms Summoning System

It was late at night, but Xiao Chen did not rest. Tomorrow he would hold his first morning court session after ascending the throne, and he still had many things to prepare.

Being an emperor is not only an honor, but also a responsibility and a pressure.

Fortunately, Di Renjie came to Luocheng, and Jia Xu was also taken to the palace by him. With these two people around, he would undoubtedly feel a lot more relaxed.

"Congratulations, young master, for regaining the throne!"

Jia Xu and Di Renjie had just arrived at the imperial study. When they saw Xiao Chen, who was already wearing a dragon robe and sitting at the desk, they quickly knelt down and kowtowed to him.

Serving the emperor is like serving a tiger. Although Xiao Chen has never been arrogant, that was in the past.

Now that Xiao Chen has become the emperor, they must immediately adapt to the change in their roles, and some things can no longer be done as casually as before.

Xiao Chen also guessed what the two were thinking, so he did not stop them from saluting, as that would have made them even more frightened.

"Okay, gentlemen, take a seat!"

After the two of them finished their ceremony, Xiao Chen smiled and asked them to sit down.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The two sat down and waited for Xiao Chen to speak.

Xiao Chen looked at the two of them and asked, "Gentlemen, I have only ascended the throne today, and I don't understand many things yet. Therefore, I invited you two to come here late at night, mainly to ask about the morning court tomorrow."

Di Renjie and Jia Xu looked at each other, and then Di Renjie spoke first: "Your Majesty, what do you want to ask?"

Jia Xu was good at strategy, while Di Renjie was better at government affairs, so it would be better for him to ask questions about the morning court.

Xiao Chen leaned back in his chair, playing with an exquisite jade pendant in his hand. He pondered for a moment and said, "Huaiying, what do you think will happen if I carry out a large-scale purge of the old officials in the court tomorrow morning?"

He was very disappointed with these officials of the Great Zhou Dynasty. They were simply a bunch of cold-blooded people who were just sitting there doing nothing.

To be more precise, they are just a group of running dogs of the aristocratic families. It is impossible for them to work for the court. Keeping them will only become a hindrance to one's own will.

"this……"

Xiao Chen's words made Di Renjie feel a little embarrassed and he didn't know how to respond.

He could understand Xiao Chen's idea of ​​clearing out the old officials of the court. To be honest, the upright Di Renjie also hated these officials to the core, but reason told him that now was not the time to purge these court officials.

"Huaiying, between you and me, we are the king and his subject, so there is no need to care so much. You can say it if you want," Xiao Chen saw Di Renjie's hesitation and spoke to comfort him.

Xiao Chen naturally trusts the people summoned by the system unconditionally, and these people are absolutely loyal to him.

Di Renjie stood up, bowed to Xiao Chen and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me for speaking frankly, but now is not the time to purge the old officials of the court."

Xiao Chen did not show any emotion due to Di Renjie's objection, but continued to ask: "Tell me what you think!"

Di Renjie said respectfully: "Your Majesty, you have just ascended the throne, and the foundation of the court is weak. Although these ministers have low moral character, they are important pillars to maintain the operation of the kingdom. If they all die, I am afraid that the operation of the kingdom will be paralyzed in an instant!"

Xiao Chen nodded. At present, he only had two civil officials, Di Renjie and Jia Xu, at his disposal. If he really killed those people, there would be no one to help him govern the country.

But he was unwilling to let these people corrupt the kingdom. Should he really let them go?

He now deeply felt the disadvantages of the lack of civil officials, and wished that the system would wake up immediately and summon a group of civil officials to serve him.

However, Di Renjie suddenly changed the subject and said, "Your Majesty, although it is not feasible to purge the court officials, killing the chicken to scare the monkey is still necessary!"

Killing the chicken to scare the monkey?

Xiao Chen's heart moved, and he instantly understood Di Renjie's meaning, but he was a little embarrassed. Which chickens should he kill?

"Your Majesty, this is a list of some of the court ministers that I have drafted. You may take a look at it first."

At this moment, Di Renjie suddenly took out a list with the names of dozens of important court officials on it.

Xiao Chen couldn't help but sigh, Di Renjie is really an old fox!

This guy just came to Luo City today, but he was able to immediately provide a position as a court minister. It is obvious that he was not idle when he was in Lianyun City.

With such a minister who can think three steps ahead, he felt a lot more relaxed.

Even Jia Xu was somewhat impressed by Di Renjie's foresight, he is indeed a famous minister!

Xiao Chen took the list handed over by Di Renjie and looked through it carefully.

You really don’t know until you see it, and you’ll be shocked when you see it! Wow, there are three third-rank officials on it, which is really impressive.

The first-rank positions in the Great Zhou Kingdom have always been honorary positions. There was only one person who held the second-rank position before, and that was Yan Jilong. Now, the highest-ranking official in the court is the third-rank official.

"Your Majesty, what I mean is that for now, we should just kill the people above us! As long as they are dead, the government can be stabilized for the time being."

After saying this, Xiao Chen looked at Di Renjie in surprise. It seemed that this kind-looking man was not a good person at all!

Jia Xu, who had been silent the whole time, said, "Your Majesty, you don't know that these people are the representatives of the three great families in the court. Their death will be a huge blow to the three great families."

"Moreover, if the three major families are attacked, Your Majesty will send a wrong signal to the Zheng family and other five small families: you want to punish the three major families."

"In this way, these small families will feel that their chance has come, and they will definitely think of ways to strengthen their family's power in the court."

"As long as these noble families cannot unite in the court, Your Majesty can slowly deal with them while maintaining the operation of the kingdom."

"Another aristocratic family? They are truly omnipresent! The imperial court is actually controlled by them."

After listening to Jia Xu and Di Renjie's analysis, Xiao Chen murmured to himself and had a new understanding of the power of the aristocratic families. As an emperor, he still had to rely on the conflicts between the aristocratic families to maintain the court.

Di Renjie sighed and said, "In fact, the situation in our Great Zhou Kingdom is relatively good. Only the aristocratic families control the government, and the sects do not participate too much. The situation in other kingdoms and even dynasties is even worse. The aristocratic families rule the continent. This statement is absolutely true!"

Jia Xu also sighed: "This world respects martial arts, and aristocratic clans have monopolized most of the skills, martial arts, and training resources, which makes many people choose to rely on them."

"Without the support of the aristocratic family, it is difficult to become a warrior. Even if you become a warrior by chance, your achievements in life will be limited."

"So, the rule of the aristocratic families is actually a rule based on the monopoly of martial arts. If this monopoly is not broken, the rule of the aristocratic families will never be completely shattered."

Xiao Chen nodded. The temptation of becoming a warrior was too great. Apart from anything else, the fatal attraction of a significant increase in life was too great to resist. How many people could resist it?

After thinking all this through, Xiao Chen suddenly had an idea in his mind. If he could popularize martial arts throughout the Great Zhou Kingdom, would the rule of the aristocratic families collapse?
