Myriad Realms Summoning System
Chapter Summary
After killing Xiao Tianci's diehard followers, the eunuchs and palace maids became significantly more afraid of Xiao Chen, and they served him more attentively. Without us, I want to see who will lead his troops to fight." As soon as Zhai Linfeng finished speaking, countless voices of agreement were heard, and Shen Changwen's attention was also attracted. Therefore, he was not afraid that Xiao Chen would kill him.
The wind direction in Luo City took a sharp turn for the worse after Xiao Chen ascended the throne, and 200,000 imperial guards became his control overnight.
Together with the 40,000 troops brought by Zhang Liao, a total of 240,000 troops surrounded Luocheng.
Luo City has completely become Xiao Chen's private territory.
The Great Zhou Palace was very large, so it naturally required a lot of people to manage it. Therefore, there were as many as ten thousand palace maids, eunuchs, and guards in this palace.
Most of the palace maids and eunuchs were ordinary people with no cultivation. Except for a very small number of Xiao Tianci's confidants, most of the others did not think much about the change of emperor.
Anyway, no matter who is the emperor, what they have to do is to serve the man with the highest status in the palace. It used to be Xiao Tianci, and now it is Xiao Chen.
After killing Xiao Tianci's diehard followers, the eunuchs and palace maids became significantly more afraid of Xiao Chen, and they served him more attentively.
"Your Majesty, you look absolutely the most majestic person I have ever seen wearing this dragon robe."
After Xiao Chen put on the dragon robe, a young eunuch of about seventeen or eighteen years old said flatteringly.
After Xiao Chen returned to the palace, he selected a young eunuch named Yan Zian to serve him.
This young eunuch had always been inconspicuous in the palace, but now he has suddenly risen to a high position and is trying his best to please Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen was not disgusted by the eunuchs' flattery towards him. This was their way of survival. As long as they did not seek death, Xiao Chen would not bother to care.
"How long is it until the morning court?" Xiao Chen asked.
"Your Majesty, there is still half an hour left," Yan Zian replied quickly.
Xiao Chen nodded and said, "Let's go!"
He had already planned to kill some people today, so he went early. Those ministers who were late would give him an excuse to take action.
Because of loyalty issues, most of the palace guards were taken away and handed over to Zhang Jue for ideological education.
Therefore, the imperial palace is now completely taken over by the army. After taking control of Luocheng, Zhang Liao and others sent another two thousand troops to the imperial palace.
Moreover, these two thousand people are all Lianyuncheng troops trained by Zhang Jue and Zhang Liao, and their loyalty and combat effectiveness are extremely high.
In today's imperial palace, Xiao Chen can kill anyone he wants without any scruples.
…
"Master Zhang, you are here!"
"Morning, Sir Liu!"
"Master Zhou, why are you here to attend court?"
In the Golden Palace, court officials were gathering in groups of three or five. Even many officials who had not attended court for several months came to the court.
Of course, many people came, but many did not come. Among the six ministers alone, four were missing.
The setting of court official positions in this world is not much different from that in ancient China, so Xiao Chen also saved a lot of effort in adapting and learning.
"Sir Shen, will Sir Guo and Sir Feng come to attend the court meeting today?" an official asked the Minister of Personnel Shen Changwen.
The Minister of Personnel was a third-rank official and one of the highest-ranking officials in the court after Yan Jilong's death.
Therefore, Shen Changwen can almost be regarded as the top civil servant today.
Shen Changwen has another identity, that is, a collateral descendant of the Shen family, one of the three major families.
In order to avoid suspicion, the direct descendants of the three major families often do not serve as officials in the court, but the descendants of the collateral branches do not have so many obstacles.
However, Shen Changwen was more special. Compared with the collateral descendants of other aristocratic families, he had already set up his own business long ago, and even the direct descendants of the Shen family had tacitly agreed.
Because his younger brother is Shen Tianyou, the leader of Lingjian Sect, one of the four major sects.
Shen Changwen said to the official in a deep voice: "I don't think they will not come. At most, they will just be delayed a little. The times are different now. They shouldn't seek death on their own!"
The Lord Feng and Lord Guo mentioned by this official are also one of the six ministers, and they are also descendants of the three major families.
"That's good." The official let out a long sigh.
He was an assistant minister in the Ministry of Justice. Without the boss of the Ministry of Justice coming, he lost his backbone and didn't know how to face the new emperor.
"Grand Marshal, what should we do now?"
It was not just the civil service group that was worried; the military officers were also filled with a solemn atmosphere.
Zhai Linfeng is the Grand Marshal of the kingdom and the current head of the military officers. A dozen military officers surround him to discuss countermeasures.
In fact, the most anxious person now is Zhai Linfeng. As Xiao Tianci's confidant, even a pig can imagine how dangerous his situation is.
What's more, he also occupies the most important position of the kingdom's military marshal.
So, in order to save his own life, he came to the palace early this morning to prevent the new emperor from accusing him of any unexplained crime.
Looking at the generals who were centered around him, Zhai Linfeng gritted his teeth and said, "If it doesn't work, we will all resign. I don't believe that the little emperor dares to kill the ministers without any handle."
"Yes, if it doesn't work, then all of you should resign. Without us, I want to see who will lead his troops to fight."
As soon as Zhai Linfeng finished speaking, countless voices of agreement were heard, and Shen Changwen's attention was also attracted.
But he just took a look and silently gave the group of generals one word: idiot.
It's already this time, and you still think that the law doesn't apply to everyone, and you still want to force the emperor to abdicate. Who else should I kill if I don't kill you?
Ding! Ding!
At this moment, several heavy footsteps sounded in the hall, attracting countless people to look.
Zhang Liao was in the lead, followed closely by Yuwen Chengdu, Yan Qing and others. Several generals put on armor and walked into the hall.
All of them were powerful generals who had dominated China in different eras. After coming to this world, their aura had not weakened at all. Instead, they became even more impressive due to their enhanced cultivation.
Compared with these people, the generals of the Great Zhou Dynasty, led by Zhai Linfeng, seemed extremely insignificant, as if they were just soldiers and Zhang Liao and others were generals.
After they arrived at the hall, they stood at the bottom of the throne.
The other court officials were also silent because of the arrival of these people.
They all knew that these were the trusted generals brought back to Luo City by the new emperor, and each of them was notorious. Just standing there was a deterrent.
Shen Changwen narrowed his eyes and looked at Zhang Liao and others. He was one of the few officials who was not afraid of several people.
Unlike others, he was one of the few people who did not express his attitude when Xiao Tianci usurped the throne. Therefore, he was not afraid that Xiao Chen would kill him.
He was just curious in his heart, wondering where the new emperor found so many powerful generals and how he completed the transformation in such a short time.
Although others did not know, Shen Changwen knew that the Lingjian Sect, one of the four major sects, was controlled by the new emperor.
There's nothing he can do about it. Who made him have a daughter who talks so fast?
Shen Tianyou felt ashamed and did not tell him about this, but as soon as Shen Luoluo returned to the family, she told him everything clearly.
That’s right, Shen Changwen is Shen Luoluo’s father.
"The Emperor has arrived!"
Yan Zian's sharp voice suddenly rang out in the hall, causing countless people to feel nervous.
