Chapter Summary
Today, Xiao Chen killed at least fifty civil and military officials, accounting for at least one-third of the number of people who usually come to court. "Xiao Yi, have you taken note of those officials who didn't come to court?" Under the protection of Li Yuanba, Xiao Chen, who sat back on the throne, asked with a cold face. Then he said to the civil and military officials in the court: "I have killed many corrupt officials today.
When they returned to the Golden Palace again, the officials discovered that the hall was much emptier than before.
Today, Xiao Chen killed at least fifty civil and military officials, accounting for at least one-third of the number of people who usually come to court.
"Xiao Yi, have you taken note of those officials who didn't come to court?"
Under the protection of Li Yuanba, Xiao Chen, who sat back on the throne, asked with a cold face.
This made the court officials feel cold again.
This is not enough killing! Those who did not come to the court must be sad.
“I have written them all down.”
Yan Qing handed a memorial to Yan Zian, who then presented it to Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen just glanced at it and handed the letter back to Yan Zian.
Then he said to the civil and military officials in the court: "I have killed many corrupt officials today. There are many vacancies in the court. Do you have any good candidates to recommend?"
As soon as Xiao Chen's words came out, many ministers who were in a depressed mood suddenly had a gleam in their eyes.
Especially those ministers who did not belong to the three major families, their minds became more active.
When they thought about it carefully, they realized that most of the ministers killed by Xiao Chen today, except for Xiao Tianci's confidants, were from the three major families.
Does the emperor want to suppress the three major families and support the smaller families?
As soon as this idea came up, they quickly thought about how to take control of these vacant positions into the hands of their own family.
However, they did not expect that Xiao Chen's move was just a transition, and his ultimate goal was to completely eliminate the rule of the aristocratic family.
Of course, it’s not their fault, because no one dared to imagine that Xiao Chen actually wanted to challenge the ruling method that has been maintained on the continent for thousands of years.
"Minister Shen, you are the Minister of Personnel, why don't you recommend a few people?" Xiao Chen looked at Shen Changwen with a smile.
"this……"
Shen Changwen was a little hesitant. At this moment, no matter who he recommended, he would probably be accused of forming a clique for personal gain.
It would be tragic if the Pentakill Order that had just been issued was used on myself.
So Shen Changwen said helplessly: "Everything is up to your majesty to decide, I have no objection!"
"Well, since there are no good candidates for the position of Minister of Personnel, I will recommend a few people. My dear ministers, please discuss it. Don't accuse me of being arbitrary!"
When the ministers heard this, they complained wildly in their hearts.
You still don't act arbitrarily? Who did you ask for advice when you killed so many people? You are so shameless.
Regardless of what the court officials were thinking, Xiao Chen straightened his face and said, "Wenyuan, you saved me from danger, and I said I would reward you handsomely. Today is the day for me to fulfill my promise."
"Zhang Liao, listen to me. Today I appoint you as the Third Rank General of Anxi. You will form a 100,000-man Tenglong Army and help me stabilize the western border in the future!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Zhang Liao knelt down excitedly. As a military general, nothing made him more excited than holding military power.
"Appoint Wang Yue as the fourth-rank commander of the Black Ice Platform, supervising all officials and reporting directly to me."
Xiao Chen did not conceal the existence of the Black Ice Platform, but made it public, which would be a huge deterrent to all officials.
"Appoint Yuwen Chengdu as a fourth-rank loyal and martial general, and assist Zhang Liao in establishing the Tenglong Legion!"
"Appoint Meng Gong as the fourth-rank Lieutenant General of the Imperial Guards and organize the Imperial Guards to protect Luo City!"
"Appoint Li Cunxiao as the third-rank General of Annan and form a 100,000-man Fire Kirin Army!"
"Appoint Luo Cheng as a fourth-rank general of Mingwei to assist Li Cunxiao in establishing the Huolin Corps!"
"Appoint Li Yuanba as the fourth-rank invincible general, responsible for guarding the safety of the imperial palace!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty. We swear to be loyal to Your Majesty until death and expand the territory for our Great Zhou!"
Zhang Liao, Yuwen Chengdu and others all knelt on the ground to express their gratitude.
"Please stand up, generals. This is what you deserve! In the future, the Great Zhou will still rely on your protection!"
These people were summoned to this world by Xiao Chen. Xiao Chen could fully trust them and gave them extremely high official positions.
"I will draft an imperial edict later. For the generals who didn't come, I will have someone deliver the imperial edict to them."
Meng Gong and others still need to command the entire Luocheng army to protect the safety of Luocheng, so they did not come to court today.
Although the court officials, especially the military officers, were dissatisfied with Xiao Chen's enfeoffment, they did not dare to express any opinions.
They all knew that these people were Xiao Chen's confidants, so it was reasonable to promote them vigorously.
What's more, since the moment these people appeared, they have demonstrated strength far beyond their understanding, so they can only accept this fact silently.
In fact, the most important thing is that they are afraid of death!
If they raised some opinions and Xiao Chen got unhappy and killed them, that would not be fun.
After enfeoffing the military generals, Xiao Chen turned his attention to the civil officials, which made the court officials really nervous.
Most of the military generals were leading troops outside, and there were only a few military officers in Luo City who were qualified to attend court, and many of them were killed by Xiao Chen.
Therefore, most of the people in the court are civil servants. Now that Xiao Chen wants to reward the civil servants, it will affect their interests.
"Shen Changwen, I appreciate your hard work and contributions, and your age, so I will give you a leisurely official position! From today on, you will take over the position of Minister of Justice, how do you think?"
Xiao Chen looked at Shen Changwen with a half-smile, which made Shen Changwen feel bitter.
What kind of leisurely position is this! The position of the Minister of Justice has always been a complicated one, and the power is far less than that of the Minister of Personnel.
It seems to be a regular relocation, but in fact it is a disguised demotion.
But he didn't dare to say anything more, so he could only say with a bitter face: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your understanding!"
Shen Changwen was demoted from the position of Minister of Personnel?
Many officials were delighted, wondering if this meant they could take over this lucrative job.
They knew that Xiao Chen had many martial arts masters under his command, but few civil officials. If they did not take over after Shen Changwen was removed, who would?
But Xiao Chen eventually disappointed them.
Xiao Chen said, "I have found a suitable candidate for the position of Minister of Personnel. Huaiying, you will be the Minister of Personnel!"
Huaiying? Who is he?
None of the court officials had expected that Xiao Chen would find a stranger to serve as the Minister of Personnel.
Just then, a slightly plump old man with a kind face walked in from outside the hall.
"Your Majesty, I, Di Renjie, thank you for your kindness."
Di Renjie walked to the center of the hall and spoke respectfully to Xiao Chen who was sitting on the throne.
"Who is this person? Why have I never seen him before?"
"I don't know, but I'm sure there is no such person in the officialdom of the Great Zhou Dynasty!"
"Isn't this a joke? How can you just randomly pick someone to be the Minister of Personnel?"
Sure enough, after Xiao Chen proposed that Di Renjie be appointed as the Minister of Personnel, the civil servants began to become uneasy and began to discuss in low voices.
Xiao Chen narrowed his eyes and looked at the group of civil servants, then said in a cold voice: "Why, do you have any objections?"
Sometimes, interests can really make a person lose his way and even lose his life.
After a moment's silence, an official finally stood up.
The official walked to the center of the hall and summoned up his courage to say, "Your Majesty, the position of Minister of Personnel is of great importance. Please think twice before acting!"
